Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 350

The Empress Dowager suddenly laughed out loud without grace, and the flowers and branches trembled wildly.

Chapter 690 The court meeting was held (first change)

Another court meeting is about to be held.

Zhao Guo holds tens of hundreds of court meetings every year, but never has a court meeting attracted such widespread attention, and even other princes in the entire Chinese world have sent many spies to Handan, planning to immediately Obtain the content of this court meeting.

There is no other reason, but because everyone knows that this will be a collision between the two princes of Zhao State like sparks hitting the earth.

In the study, Xu Li was reporting to Zhao Kuo.

"Your Majesty, there have been a lot of rumors unfavorable to us in Handan City recently.

Judging from Nightingale's judgment, it seemed that these people were not just people from Lin Xiangru's side, and there might be many foreign spies among them. "

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "Are these guys so impatient?

It doesn't matter, you just ask Nightingale to secretly provide the news to the Handan government as much as possible, and it would be great if you can catch a few spies. "

Xu Li couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, why don't we print Yue Fei's biography again like before?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head slightly, and said: "If the same strategy is used twice, it will not work.

At the beginning, Yue Fei's biography was used because Benhou was still in the north, but now that Benhou has returned, it doesn't matter.

Next, the main thing is to bump into Lin Xiangru at the court meeting to see what Lin Xiangru can come up with. "

Xu Li nodded, and then said softly: "There seems to be some new changes in the Imperial Guard recently. The Empress Dowager dispatched a group of new troops to replace the old troops."

Zhao Kuo chuckled and said, "Don't look at the Queen Mother as if she is sitting on the Diaoyutai, but she is probably very scared in her heart."

Xu Li asked suspiciously: "If that's the case, why didn't the queen mother come forward to calm the situation?"

Zhao Kuo sighed: "Because she is a mother, a mother always hopes to remove some obstacles before her son takes power.

It's a pity that in fact, if she wants to be a queen mother who has been regent, it will be a real good thing for her and the king. "

The time for the court meeting has come.

Zhao Kuo came to the palace city in a carriage, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Pang Nuan who had been waiting here for a long time.

Pang Nuan said worriedly: "Wu Xinjun, the recent situation is really not optimistic."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Pang Qing, don't worry, the matter is not out of control yet."

Upon hearing this, Pang Nuan raised her head in surprise and said, "Does Junhou have other methods?"

Zhao Kuo smiled without saying a word, and said softly: "Pang Qing, don't worry, this is not a place to talk."

Pang Nuan understood and nodded again and again, the worry just now was completely swept away.

Not long after the two walked up the steps, several more carriages drove up.

Lin Xiangru got out of the carriage, followed by Le Cheng and Zhou Shaofen.

Lin Xiangru looked at the two of them, and said calmly: "Today is the day to fight Wu Xinjun, it would be best if we can win.

If not, then you can only wait for the next opportunity. "

Although Le Cheng has always wanted to gain a sense of presence on weekdays, but today he can only obediently play a supporting role for Lin Xiangru. This is the difference between the background of the two.

Le Cheng couldn't help but said: "Xinjun's words are a little lacking in self-confidence, right?

If you want me to say, we should kill Zhao Kuo directly, so that he has no possibility of turning over at all! "

This sentence made Zhou Shaofen's eyelids twitch slightly.

Lin Xiangru chuckled, and said: "I hope so too, but Wu Xinjun is our old opponent, how can it be so easy to defeat him in one fell swoop?

OK, let's go. "

Le Cheng and Zhou Shaofen, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded Lin Xiangru and went up the steps of the palace.

After the three, two more carriages stopped.

Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang got off the carriage respectively.

Lord Pingyang asked: "Brother, the Empress Dowager suddenly convened this court meeting because she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic! What should we do now?"

Compared with the previous few days, Mr. Pingyuan's face is obviously more wrinkled now, and he sighed after hearing this: "What else can I do?

Take one step at a time and try to reconcile it. "

Lord Pingyang said: "What if there is really no way to reconcile?"

Mr. Pingyuan was speechless, and said after a while: "Then we can only choose to stand on one side, of course we have to stand on the side of the winner, don't we?

It's just that we have to be careful, after all, if someone is really eliminated, then the remaining person will inevitably become our opponent. "

As he said that, Mr. Pingyuan also sighed: "It's only been a few years since the three-legged confrontation. I never imagined that they will return to the stage where the two factions are at odds so soon."

Pingyang Jun echoed: "Yes, yes, but brother, don't worry, we can still have both ways this time, maybe we will be the final big winners."

Although he echoed Mr. Pingyuan, but Mr. Pingyang had other thoughts in his heart.

"It seems that brother is really old.

If it was a few years ago, the elder brother must have thought of taking the opportunity to sweep Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo out of the Zhao political arena, leaving only the elder brother to monopolize the power.

But now?

Now the elder brother actually only wants to be a good old man to reconcile the conflict between Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo, it's ridiculous!Brother, brother, haven't you found out yet?

In fact, you are no longer suitable for such a key position as Da Zhao Xiangbang.

Since you can't do it, let me do it! "

Thinking of this, Jun Pingyang couldn't help but a smile flashed across his mouth.

It's not just that you have arrangements, can't this Marquis have a little backup?

At the end of this game, it is not necessarily who will win or lose!After a while, everyone came to the hall and took their seats.

Later, the queen mother appeared with Zhao Wang.

Everyone got up and saluted one after another: "I have seen the queen mother, I have seen the king."

The queen mother nodded slightly, but Zhao Wang did not dare to neglect, and returned a salute to Zhu Qing.

Monarchs and ministers take their seats.

The queen mother coughed lightly and started the topic.

"My lords, you must be aware of why the court meeting was held this time.

Recently, the city of Handan has been full of noise and rumors, and there seems to be a lot of messy people recently.

When Da Zhao was weak before, this kind of thing never happened. Later, when Da Zhao became very strong, this kind of thing still didn't happen, but it happens now.

The old woman felt that this was very bad. If this trend continued, what would Da Zhao be like?

So I gathered you here today to tell you that if there is any problem, we will solve it here, so that people outside will not be suspicious every day. Do you understand? "

Everyone heard the words in unison, and they all knew in their hearts that the Queen Mother really wanted a result.

Chapter 691 Tongue War Lin Xiangru (Second Change)

Regarding the queen mother's words, Zhao Guozhong, who was present, was not very surprised.

After all, when everyone received the notice to convene a court meeting, they could have already imagined such a result.

Zhao Kuo was the first to speak at this time and said: "The Queen Mother must also be clear that this matter is not the first one caused by this matter, it is really someone who has been trying to grab the minister, biting like a mad dog. Minister, so I have no choice but to launch a counterattack, and please ask the Queen Mother to learn from you."

What Zhao Kuo said is indeed true. If Lin Xiangru's behavior hadn't aroused Zhao Kuo's vigilance, this struggle would have never happened.

Lin Xiangru sneered immediately when he heard the words, and said, "Wu Xinjun's words are a bit too much for 300 taels of silver here, right?

In the political arena that has been created in the past few years, who likes to exclude dissidents the most, and who drives political opponents into the dust one by one? Presumably, both the queen mother and the ministers know it well? "

Lin Xiangru's remarks are obviously referring to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo did not deny anything, and directly said with certainty: "Yes, I have indeed made a lot of struggles in the past few years, and I have indeed excluded some people who are completely unqualified to sit here. .

But please ask yourself, Mr. Xin, why are these people your friends?

Why are your allies always a group of people who can't make any contribution to Da Zhao, but can only hold back and be eliminated in the end? "

Following these words, Lin Xiangru's expression also changed.

Lin Xiangru also said just now that Zhao Kuo was fighting by nature, and Zhao Kuo retorted that Lin Xiangru's alliance directly was a disaster, but it made Lin Xiangru even more embarrassing.

After all, there is a saying that goes well, birds of a feather flock together, and people form groups.

Since Lin Xiangru is surrounded by losers, it will inevitably make people doubt Lin Xiangru's ability.

Lin Xiangru didn't get the slightest advantage in the first round of confrontation, but this could not shake the self-confidence of this Zhao Guo veteran.

Lin Xiangru coughed slightly, and said calmly: "These trivial matters, I will not continue to quarrel with Wu Xinjun.

But Mr. Wu Xin, you have been frantically cultivating power in the political arena and military of Dazhao, what is your intention? "

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Xinjun, Xinjun, what you said is very funny.

You said that Benhou is cultivating influence in Dazhao's political arena and military, so I want to ask you a question, have you never cultivated in Dazhao's political arena and military in the past few decades? ?

Even why you are sitting here and attacking me today, isn't it because you want to suppress me so that your political power can grow even more substantially?

Since you are doing this kind of thing yourself, then what qualifications do you have to accuse me, and what qualifications do you have to ask what is your intention? "

When Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Lin Xiangru was at a loss for words again.

Even Zhao Guojun and ministers, who were listening to the side, couldn't help but feel that Zhao Kuo's words were actually more reasonable.

Because no matter which important official of the Zhao State, if he wants to gain a foothold in the Zhao State's political arena, one thing he must do is to develop his own power in the Zhao State's political arena.

If Lin Xiangru can do this kind of thing, Mr. Pingyuan can do it, so naturally Zhao Kuo can do it too.

If Lin Xiangru accused Zhao Kuo of such things, it would make people feel that Lin Xiangru was a little out of nothing.

Zhao Kuo easily dismissed Lin Xiangru's two consecutive attacks, and his old face became more and more unbearable.

Just when Lin Xiangru was about to continue speaking, Le Cheng at the side saw that the situation was not good, so he spoke first.

For Le Cheng, he was naturally the one who most hoped that Zhao Kuo would be dismissed directly.

Therefore, when he saw that Lin Xiangru was defeated in this debate, Le Cheng was more anxious than anyone else.

So Le Cheng couldn't help but volunteered, and said, "Zhao Kuo, don't make people laugh with your brazen words there.

Over the years, you have been secretly using all kinds of despicable means to suppress Wuxiangjun Lianpo, which finally led to Wuxiangjun Lianpo having to go out and stay at home.

Now you have used the same means to suppress me again, nothing more than trying to squeeze me out and realize your ulterior secret of controlling the military power of Great Zhao alone!You told me that no one else wants to control the military power of Da Zhao, but you want to hold the military power of Da Zhao in your hands. What is your intention? "

As soon as Le Cheng said these words, the expressions of the other people present changed immediately.

The topic of monarchy has always been a sensitive topic.

Everyone knows that as long as they control the military power, it is equivalent to controlling the political power of a country, that is, the highest power of the country.

So when Le Cheng directly pointed out that Zhao Kuo wanted to control the military power alone, the subtext in it was very obvious.

Le Cheng is implying that Zhao Kuo has evil intentions in his heart!Faced with such an accusation that could almost be said to point directly at the rebellion, Zhao Kuo did not panic, but laughed again.

"Le Cheng, Le Cheng, your words are quite interesting.

No wonder you have been unable to win a few wars. It turns out that the little wisdom in your heart has been completely used in this kind of internal competition in Dazhao, and it has not been used in even a little bit of the enemy. ah. "

The sarcasm in Zhao Kuo's words was also quite obvious, which directly made Le Cheng angry, and said: "Zhao Kuo, don't talk nonsense there!"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly and said, "Are you saying I'm talking nonsense?

Then I'm going to ask you.

Was I present in any of the wars that Lian Po lost?

Is there any war that I lost after I gave Lian Po orders or some suggestions? "

Le Cheng was speechless immediately after hearing the words.

After thinking about it carefully, this is really the truth. Although Lian Po has lost many battles, he really has nothing to do with Zhao Kuo.

In fact, during several wars, Zhao Kuo even sent letters to Lian Po, reminding Lian Po of possible crises.

If Lian Po could listen to even any of Zhao Kuo's opinions, I am afraid that Lian Po can still sit in this hall to discuss matters, instead of sitting here happily.
