Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

At this moment, Sima said that the fear in his heart was beyond words.

How did Zhao Dan learn about something that was supposed to be extremely secretive?

And it was so clearly listed one by one, it was as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

But even so, Sima said he did not give up the opportunity to defend himself.

Sima said that he gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "What the king said is groundless, how can he be convicted of a crime? How can the king's actions convince everyone?"

Zhao Dan looked at Sima and said, his originally calm eyes gradually turned cold.

At this time, you are still denying it?

Zhao Dan opened his mouth suddenly, with a murderous look in his eyes: "Sima said, Sima said, I never imagined that at this moment, you would still argue so much in front of the widow. Anyway, the widow will convince you today, bring it here!"

After a while, more than a dozen lean men, dressed in Hu suits and with the words "Supervisor" embroidered on their chests, escorted a few unkempt and heavily tied prisoners into the room.

Sima said that when he saw the faces of these prisoners just now, his complexion changed drastically, as if he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

The leader, a middle-aged man in his thirties, saluted Zhao Dan respectfully, and said loudly, "Mao Sui, the deputy commander of the First Division of the Supervisory Guard, has seen the King."

That's right, this Mao Sui was the Mao Sui who accompanied Chu on a mission not long ago and persuaded King Yuan of Chu.

After Mao Sui returned to the country, Zhao Dan took Mao Sui from Zhao Sheng's mansion, and arranged him among the supervisory guards, becoming a deputy commander of the supervisory guards.

Zhao Dan looked at Mao Sui and said, "Mao Sui, tell me what you have seen and heard in Lingshou City."

Mao Sui nodded in agreement, and then said: "Go back to your majesty, I have led the people to ambush outside Sima Shuo's mansion under the orders of your majesty. In the past few days, I saw many officials of Lingshou City and leaders of rangers coming and going in and out of Sima Shuo's mansion. I captured Several people interrogated him, and learned from his population that the Sima family intends to rebel and cause rebellion, and when the Sima said that he had returned from Handan, he followed the example of Fu Bao, the order of Wuyuan, and led his life to descend to Yan."

After saying this, Mao Sui pointed at the prisoners and the box of bamboo slips behind the prisoners and said: "Since I knew that he wanted to make trouble, I took action to destroy this rebellious party in advance. The great king Hong Fu, Sima said that most of the rebellious party has been punished, and all the top figures of the rebel party are here, and the bamboo slips in the box are the confession of the rebel party, please check it out, Your Majesty."

Zhao Dan nodded, turned his head to look at Sima who was already limp and said, "Sima said, what else can you say?"

Sima said that his face was ashen, and he didn't say a word.

Zhao Dan waved his hand: "Drag it out, cut it off."

Chapter 121 Negative Effects of Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao

With Zhao Dan's order, not only Sima Shuo and others changed their expressions and desperately begged for mercy, but also a senior minister of Zhao Guo who was present couldn't sit still.

This restless official of Zhao State was none other than Zhao Dan's uncle, Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao.

I saw Zhao Bao came out with his hands in his hands, bowed to Zhao Dan, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a chance to play."

Zhao Dan frowned, but still waved his hand to stop the monitoring guards who were dragging people out.

All the ministers also cast their eyes on Zhao Bao, most of them were curious.

Now that the evidence of the crime is convincing, is Zhao Bao still trying to find a way to reverse the case for Sima?I also didn't hear when Sima's hooked up with Zhao Bao's thread.

In the entire hall, there were only two people who did not show any surprise at Zhao Bao's behavior, one was Zhao Dan, and the other was Yu Xin.

Looking at Zhao Bao who had come to the center of the hall, Yu Xin's eyes flickered several times, then he shook his head lightly, showing a look of disapproval, obviously not interested in Zhao Bao's actions.

But Zhao Bao seemed to have made up his mind.

I saw Zhao Bao playing to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, although Sima said that he violated the national law, he should be judged by the subordinates of the ministers. If your majesty treats Sima Yue and others who are chaotic, it will not be in conformity with the law."

As soon as Zhao Bao said these words, everyone present suddenly realized.

It turned out that Zhao Bao didn't want to intercede for this Sima. What Zhao Bao cared about was actually Zhao Bao's own power.

Zhao Bao's position is Zhao Guosi Kou, who is in charge of prisons and pickets.

Speaking of which, the duty of interrogating prisoners is indeed within the scope of Si Kou.

It is precisely because the position of Si Kou includes so much power that Zhao Bao was able to become an important minister of Zhao State, second only to Xiangbang Zhao Sheng, and his status was higher than the other four important officials of Zhao State.

In Zhao Bao's view, there is actually no big problem with Zhao Dan's handling of what Sima said. The only problem is that the power of the trial should be in the hands of Zhao Bao, the Sikou, and Zhao Bao should also give the death penalty. the result of.

To put it bluntly, it is a procedural problem.

In Zhao Bao's view, the procedure of the trial must go through the subordinates of Si Kou.

This is very important to Zhao Bao and even the hundreds of officials belonging to Si Kou.

It is absolutely unacceptable for Zhao Dan to say that Sima was sentenced to death in one sentence today.

If this head is opened, Zhao Dan will take back the right to judge from Zhao Bao, the chief bandit. How can Zhao Bao bear it?

So even though he knew that Zhao Dan would be unhappy because of this, Zhao Bao had to come out and fight for it.

What is the purpose of being an official, isn't it for power?

What is the difference between an official without power and a salted fish?

Moreover, Zhao Bao did not represent himself. After all, the power of the Sikou not only belonged to Zhao Bao himself, but also belonged to hundreds of thousands of officials belonging to the entire Sikou.

If Zhao Bao doesn't come out to fight for a fight, then when the right to judge is revoked, the complaints against Zhao Bao from the Sikou will increase greatly, and Zhao Bao's team will not be able to carry on.

Zhao Bao had to fight, unless he didn't want to continue to be the Sikou.

But what Zhao Bao didn't expect was that Zhao Dan actually knew that Zhao Bao was going to fight.

In fact, what Zhao Dan was waiting for was for Zhao Bao to come out and fight for such a fight!

Zhao Dan narrowed his eyes, staring at Zhao Bao in front of him with a half-smile.

To be honest, Zhao Dan's uncle is indeed impeccable in terms of loyalty.

But this ability, just like Yuan Jun Zhao Sheng, has some shortcomings.

If Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao were scored on a [-]-point system, then the scores of these two people would fluctuate around [-] points.

Eighty points, according to the standard of [-] points, is actually quite low, and can even be called an excellent score.

But the problem is that the opponent Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao have to face is Fan Sui, who has a score of more than 95 points, and may even reach [-] points!

In this era when the nations are fighting for hegemony, if you are not strong enough, you must be stronger than your opponent.

Otherwise, just wait for an opponent stronger than you to trample you to death.

Looking at it this way, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao instantly changed from being excellent to not doing well.

In addition, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao have been in high positions for many years and have not moved, which has brought about another problem, that is, blocking the way for others to make progress.

Since the late period of King Zhao Hui, Zhao Sheng has been Xiangbang, and Zhao Bao has been Sikou.
