Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 358

As long as the Queen Mother, Mr. Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru, and Le Cheng can all be controlled in one place in an instant, everything will basically be settled.

Without these four people, no matter how powerful their influence in various parts of Zhao State is, it is impossible for them to cause a decent disturbance.

Based on these considerations, Zhao Kuo finally proposed the plan for this birthday party.

Including the juggling troupe, Liu Xiaoliang's imperial guards, etc., most of the details and steps were brought up by Zhao Kuo, and only then did this plan come true.

It is no exaggeration to say that without Zhao Kuo, this plan would have been impossible to realize.

But Zhao Kuo didn't want to stand up and be the most showy person.

In the past so many years, which one of Zhao Kuo's victories did not steal the limelight, and which one did not attract the attention of the audience?

But this did not give Zhao Kuo more room to display, but it brought more severe restrictions and targets.

So Zhao Kuo has learned the lesson, and we will do things in a low-key manner in the future, and just get the benefits in a low-key manner.

As for the false names of these "big brothers in the lead", leave it to Zhao Wang and Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao to satisfy their vanity!King Zhao was also extremely excited at this time.

In the past so many years, although Zhao Wang was the king of Zhao State in name, everyone knew that the real ruler of Zhao State was the Queen Mother!Now, the queen mother has finally been brought down, and King Zhao has finally tasted the taste of this supreme power!Zhao Wang's chest heaved violently because of the excitement, and he couldn't wait to announce his decision.

"Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, Wen Xin Lord Lin Xiangru, and Wu Ding Lord Le Cheng have been neglected for a long time and have no king in sight, which has led to the relaxation of Zhao's internal affairs and successive failures in foreign wars.

Now that the widow is able to govern in person, when Dazhao Qifeng is reorganized, the three of them will be deprived of all their positions and sent to prison immediately, and a decision will be made after the director finds out all the crimes! "

Although they were already mentally prepared, Lord Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru and Le Cheng still showed extremely complicated expressions on their faces when they heard King Zhao announce this matter.

Lord Pingyuan couldn't help but shouted: "Your Majesty, this veteran has always been loyal to His Majesty and has absolutely no intention of rebelling. Your Majesty Mingjian, Your Majesty Mingjian!"

Le Cheng also couldn't help shouting: "My lord, Zhao Kuo and others are all trying to sow discord. Your lord, don't be fooled by Zhao Kuo! Your lord, King Zhao is ambitious, absolutely unbelievable!"

When Zhao Kuo heard this, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

This Le Cheng, it is also possible to attack a wave of Benhou at this time.

However, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, your Le Cheng is finished, so what if I let you live a lip-smacking addiction?

The ending is doomed!At this moment, Zhao Kuo's eyes suddenly made contact with Lin Xiangru.

Among the three losers, Lin Xiangru was the only one who was relatively calm from beginning to end.

He just looked at Zhao Kuo quietly, and the expression of helplessness and disappointment on his face could be seen at a glance.

Lin Xiangru said slowly: "Mr. Wu Xin, what a good method."

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and cupped his hands towards Lin Xiangru: "Mr. Wen Xin, this Marquis is only loyal to the King."

Lin Xiangru laughed and didn't speak any more.

For smart people at the level of Zhao Kuo and Lin Xiangru, it is enough to point out some words.

Zhao Wang had lost his patience at this time, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, take these three prisoners away!"

A moment later, amidst the begging for mercy after Lord Pingyuan and Le Cheng died frantically, the three of them were taken away by the palace guards and imprisoned.

Only Zhao Wang, Pingyang Jun, Zhao Kuo, Pang Nuan and Zhou Shaofen were left in the hall.

King Zhao finally relaxed now, and sat back on his throne with a smile, looking at the four ministers below: "Do you have any suggestions, Zhu Qing?"

When Pang Nuan and Zhou Shaofen heard the words, they couldn't help but subconsciously glanced at Zhao Kuo.

However, Zhao Kuo sat there with a calm face, completely without any intention of showing off and admonishing him.

On the other side, Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao rushed to speak: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the most urgent task is to cut out the party members of Lord Pingyuan, Lord Wen Xin, and Lord Wu Ding in Handan City, lest they cause chaos in Handan City. Affecting the core city of Dazhao.

Then spread the news to the various places in Dazhao, let the officials of the county guards in Dazhao know the news of the official pro-government of the king, and let the minds of the officials in all places settle down, so the overall situation can be settled! "

At this moment, Mr. Pingyang talked eloquently, showing confidence.

Like King Zhao, Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao has also been suppressed for many years. Now that he stands up, he will naturally make up for the previous sense of loss that he could not control the situation!Zhao Wang also nodded repeatedly when he heard the words. He still trusts Pingyang Jun. After all, this is the teacher of Zhao Wang for a long time.

However, King Zhao was quite smart, and realized that he could not favor one person over another, so he did not speak immediately, but looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Does Mr. Wu Xin have anything to add?"

For King Zhao, after the successful seizure of power, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao and Wu Xin Jun Zhao Kuo will undoubtedly become his greatest support in both internal affairs and military affairs, and naturally he cannot favor one over the other.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with Lord Pingyang's proposal.

However, I also have a small suggestion, that is, Mr. Pingyuan and the other three have considerable power in various places, so when sending orders to various places, you can add a sentence that only eliminates the chief culprit, and let the rest forget the past. In this way, it should be possible quickly Calm down the minds of officials from all over the country, so that there will be no troubles. "

As soon as Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Lord Pingyang suddenly said, "No way! Lord Pingyuan and Lord Wenxin have cultivated power in Dazhao for decades, and they have already spread all over Dazhao.

If they continue to connive at the remnants of these places, they will definitely still be dissatisfied with the king in the future, so they should take advantage of this golden opportunity to wipe out all their forces in one sentence! "

After Pingyang Jun's voice fell, Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment.

This matter is actually not a very important matter, why did Ping Yang Jun suddenly raise his bar?

But immediately, the look in Pingyang Jun's eyes made Zhao Kuo understand.

I understand, Mr. Pingyang is worried that Zhao Kuo's sense of presence is too strong, and maybe he will take away his position as Xiangbang.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo was also a little speechless.

The dust has not yet settled on this whole operation, and you, Pingyang Jun, are thinking about fighting for power?

Sure enough, Lord Pingyang has been suppressed by Lord Pingyuan in the past few years, and it is not without reason.

Chapter 708 Take Control of Handan Mansion

Study leisurely at the Handan Order Office.

Handan Ling Zhou Shaoliang sat with a very calm expression, the old god was there, his eyes were half-closed, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

And below Zhou Shaoliang, dozens of Handan officials, big and small, looked puzzled and whispered.

"What's going on today, Mr. Fu?"

"Why did you suddenly call us all here in the middle of the night?"

"Could it be that something happened?"

The atmosphere in the lobby began to gradually become weird.

An official finally couldn't bear it and stood up, cupped his hands towards Zhou Shaoliang and said, "Your Majesty, what's the matter, can you make it clear?"

Zhou Shaoliang squinted his eyes and looked at the other party, and found that it was Handan Chief Shi Lin Yuzheng.

Just from the name alone, it can be known that this Lin Yuzheng is Lin Xiangru's nephew. Although the two sides are in the same school in name, the relationship can only be said to be average.

Zhou Shaoliang snorted, and said lightly: "There are some things, Lin Changshi, it's better not to know for the time being.

Anyway, everyone will know after a while. "

Zhou Shaoliang's attitude immediately aroused everyone's speculation, and the atmosphere in the lobby began to become tense.

Lin Yuzheng's expression also changed slightly.

Lin Yu was really panicked because he suddenly remembered that his uncle Lin Xiangru happened to be in the palace today to attend the king's birthday banquet.

Could it be that something happened in the palace?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuzheng couldn't calm down anymore, and couldn't help but said: "What happened, please let the Lord know!"

Zhou Shaoliang slapped the table and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, do you think the government doesn't want to know what happened?

The government is also acting according to the order, if you have any questions, you can ask the palace yourself! "

After Zhou Shaoliang's words fell, Lin Yuzheng immediately confirmed his judgment, it seems that something happened in the palace!Given Lin Yuzheng's status in the Lin clan, if Lin Xiangru was the one who initiated the plan, then even if Lin Yuzheng didn't know the ins and outs of the whole plan, at least he would have received some wind.

But now Lin Yuzheng doesn't know anything, this can only show one thing that Lin Xiangru is the one who was attacked and didn't know about it!Thinking of this, Lin Yuzheng felt anxious all of a sudden.

If something happened to Lin Xiangru, the entire Lin family would be ruined.

Lin Yuzheng stood up straight away and headed towards the entrance of the lobby.

He must go back immediately and inform the rest of the Lin family of the news!At this moment, Lin Yuzheng suddenly heard Zhou Shaoliang's roar: "Stop!"

Lin Yuzheng paused for a moment, but immediately walked resolutely towards the door.

Compared with the risk of the Lin clan, it doesn't matter at all to tear up face with Zhou Shaoliang right now.

Seeing that Lin Yu was about to walk out of the door, Zhou Shaoliang felt helpless and couldn't help shouting: "Come on, stop him!"

The next moment, two heavily armed guards of the Handan Mansion appeared in front of Lin Yu and stopped him directly.

Zhou Shaoliang stood up, his face turned completely cold, and he said lightly: "This residence is under the orders of the king. If anyone dares to leave this hall easily, this residence has the right to kill first and then play!"

Lin Yu was looking at Zhou Shaoliang in surprise: "You, you are crazy!"

The other Handan officials in the lobby were also taken aback, and the whispers suddenly rose to a higher level.

Seeing that the situation was about to become chaotic, at this moment, a manager of the Zhou family suddenly walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Zhou Shaoliang's ear.

Zhou Shaoliang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and shouted sharply: "Everyone come out!"

The next moment, dozens of guards from the Handan Command Office poured directly into the lobby.

Zhou Shaoliang stretched out his hand to point at Lin Yuzheng, and said, "Come here, take down Lin Yuzheng, a rebellious official!"

These guards were all brought by Zhou Shaoliang from the Zhou family, so they were naturally very obedient, and immediately held Lin Yuzheng down.

Lin Yuzheng was shocked, and while struggling, he shouted: "Zhou Shaoliang, what do you mean by this, I am the governor of Handan appointed by the queen mother, even though you are the governor of the county, you are not qualified to arrest me!"

Zhou Shaoliang smiled coldly, and said: "Times have changed, you idiot! Come on, take down all these lackeys of the Lin family, the Le family, and the Pingyuan government!"

The guards obviously already had a list, and in an instant, nearly half of the officials present were held down directly, and they were tied up.

The lobby began to become chaotic, and the begging and cursing of many officials rang together.

Zhou Shaoliang said loudly: "Shut up, I will announce the king's order next!"

There was a brief silence in the lobby.

Zhou Shaoliang took a deep breath, and held up the soldier talisman he had just obtained: "Your Majesty has orders. Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng, Lord Wenxin Lin Xiangru, and Lord Wuding Lecheng intend to rebel against the country, and they have all been captured by the king in the palace. Now Your Majesty has ordered that I, the Order of Handan, immediately summon all the city guards in Handan City, send troops to surround the mansions of these three people, and arrest all people related to these three people.

You and other irrelevant people, let this house obey the king's order, otherwise, it will be your fate if you are caught! "

Zhou Shaoliang's words were like dropping a depth bomb into everyone's hearts, causing everyone to explode instantly.

Lord Pingyuan, Zhao Sheng, Lord Wenxin, Lin Xiangru, Lord Wuding, Le Cheng, are all well-known figures in the political arena of Zhao State, but they were all taken down on the same day?

Whether it is related or not, everyone's hearts are completely messed up at this moment.

Everyone knows that a huge storm has completely unfolded in Zhao Guo's political arena, and has surrounded everyone present!After saying this, Zhou Shaoliang waved his hand and shouted: "Okay, detain these traitors, everyone else will stay, the government has another order!"

At this moment, Zhou Shaoliang felt extremely comfortable.

For so many years, Zhou Shaoliang has always been worried in his heart, fearing that his Zhou family will be liquidated one day because of his undercover relationship.

But now, with the downfall of Lord Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru, Lord Wuxin and Zhao Kuo have clearly become the big winners, and the day of the Zhou family, who is closely following Lord Wuxin Zhao Kuo, has finally come.

At this moment, Zhou Shaoliang couldn't help admiring his elder brother Zhou Shaofen.

If Zhou Shaofen hadn't hugged Zhao Kuo's thigh tightly, how could the Zhou family be as proud today?

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Zhou Shaoliang's mouth became more intense, and he smiled at the remaining Handan officials: "Everyone, now is the time for us to really show our strength and wipe out the remnants of those traitors for Da Zhao!"

Chapter 709 Siege of Lord Pingyuan's Mansion

It was late at night, but the palace in Handan City was brightly lit tonight.

Numerous palace guards are fully armed, patrolling everywhere with weapons and open fire. Once any unrelated people are found walking around in the palace at will, they will be killed on the spot!King Zhao sat in the main hall of Longtai, and orders came out of the hall non-stop, and quickly spread to every corner of Handan City.

The city guards of Handan City also mobilized under the order of Handan Commander Zhou Shaoliang, and directly surrounded the mansions of Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng, Lord Wenxin Lin Xiangru, and Lord Wuding Lecheng.

Half an hour later, the mansions of Wen Xinjun Lin Xiangru and Wu Dingjun Lecheng were breached one after another, and the city guards poured into their mansions, controlling all the people in the mansion, regardless of men, women, old or young, and putting them in prison.

This is the cruelty of political struggle. Once this last moment is reached, the enemy is the enemy, and there is no gender or age at all!However, compared to the smooth operations of the other two mansions, the city guards' attack on Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng's mansion encountered serious trouble.

As one of the famous "Four Princes of the Warring States Period", Jun Pingyuan's favorite thing to do on weekdays is to "raise scholars", that is, to raise a large number of family members in the mansion.

During the Battle of Changping, there were more than 3000 people in Pingyuan Junfu, and now it has reached an astonishing 5000 people.

Not every one of these retainers was willing to die for Lord Pingyuan, but even so, a team of nearly 3000 retainers was organized in Lord Pingyuan's mansion.

This team of doormen fought back vigorously, but defeated the city guards attacking Pingyuan Jun's mansion, and fled in all directions.

The news quickly spread to the main hall of Longtai. King Zhao was stunned when he heard the news, and then he became furious: "What's wrong, these city guards are so useless that they can't even defeat a team of disciples?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to explain: "My lord, Mr. Pingyuan has a very high reputation, and he treats his diners very generously on weekdays. Even concubines can be given to his diners for enjoyment. His diners' loyalty and fighting will It is very firm, and if you are not careful, you will suffer a lot.”

Said, Zhao Kuo did not forget to look at Pingyang Jun.
