Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Principles are norms, laws, and rules that every political player must abide by.

Principles bind everyone, even the monarch who is the rule maker.

In the previous dispute over the right to judge, Zhao Bao relied on his reason, so Zhao Dan had to hand over the right to judge.

That's the benefit of being justified.

But what Zhao Bao never expected was that the whole situation was reversed in just a short time after a cup of tea.

This time, the reasonable one became the monarch Zhao Dan, and Si Kou Zhao Bao became the unreasonable one.

So the unreasonable monarch Zhao Dan raised his knife and wanted to cut power.

Cut off the power of Zhao Bao, the chief bandit.

Of course Zhao Bao didn't want to be deprived of power, but in this matter, Zhao Bao was unreasonable.

If he didn't make any sense, he could only stand at attention and be beaten.

So Zhao Bao couldn't speak, because Zhao Bao had nothing to say.

Everything the monarch Zhao Dan did was reasonable, so Zhao Bao couldn't find fault at all.

Since there is nothing wrong with it, it can only be tolerated.

That's the rules of the game.

Just now, Zhao Dan strictly abided by the rules of the game and returned the right to judge to Si Kou Zhao Bao.

So now Si Kou Zhao Bao must also strictly abide by the rules and accept Zhao Dan's power reduction.

This is reasonable.

It was so reasonable that Zhao Bao had nothing to say.

But Zhao Bao has nothing to say, but it doesn't mean that other people can't speak.

So Zhao Bao once again cast his eyes on Lou Chang for help.

Lou's family is a branch of Zhao Guogong's family, belonging to Zhao Guo's famous family, and has quite an influence in Zhao Guo's political arena. Lou Chang is one of Zhao Guo's six giants, and the only one present who can speak well of Zhao Bao.

Although Yu Xin was also present, it was obviously unrealistic to expect Yu Xin to say good things to Zhao Bao.

So all Zhao Bao's hopes were bet on Lou Chang.

But Lou Chang's next move was completely beyond Zhao Bao's expectation.

Lou Chang smiled apologetically at Zhao Bao, then shook his head lightly and firmly.

Lou Chang rejected Zhao Bao's request.

Obviously, although Lou Chang could give Zhao Bao a hand in Yu Xin's accusation that Zhao Bao was wronging the country, when it came time to cut power, Lou Chang refused to help.

Not only that, when Lou Chang rejected Zhao Bao's request, Lou Chang immediately turned around and made a move that most people would never have expected.

Lou Chang saluted Zhao Dan respectfully, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Shengming, I second the proposal."

Yes, Lou Chang agreed.

As one of the giants of the Gongzu faction, Lou Chang actually agreed with Zhao Dan's move to weaken another giant of the Gongzu faction!

Lou Chang's move made Zhao Bao fall into an ice cave in an instant.

Zhao Bao was both angry and puzzled, staring at Lou Chang, not understanding why Lou Chang did this.

However, after Lou Chang expressed his approval of Zhao Dan's opinion, he quietly stood aside, and stopped looking at Zhao Bao behind him, whose eyes were spitting fire.

In fact, in Lou Chang's view, such a move was a last resort.

Lou Chang's position is the imperial censor. This imperial censor is not the "rumoured play" censor of later generations, but the personal steward of the monarch. It is probably the so-called servant in later generations, or a more modern dialect can be used. The word Zhao Guojun is the director of the general office.

Logically speaking, such a position that can get along with Zhao Dan day and night should have earned Zhao Dan's trust.

In fact, the former Lou Chang was indeed trusted by Zhao Dan as his confidant, and he was quite trusted.

But since the sudden "no change of general" meeting a few months ago, Lou Chang found himself losing Zhao Dan's trust all of a sudden, and this situation has continued until now.

This made Lou Chang start to panic.

Lou Chang never knew why he lost Zhao Dan's trust, until today Lou Chang witnessed what the inspector guard did.

A very terrifying thought popped up in Lou Chang's mind on the spot. Could it be that his father Lou Huan's fornication with the State of Qin has already been discovered by the surveillance guards?

As soon as this idea popped up, Lou Chang was terrified.

Lou Chang knew very well what his father, Lou Huan, wanted to do. What Lou Huan had always been thinking about was to completely destroy Zhao Guo!

What Lou Huan did was treason and treason!

Once discovered, Lou Huan himself will definitely be killed by Zhao Guo. As Lou Huan's son, Lou Chang will inevitably be implicated as well.

Thinking of this, Lou Chang was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

Fortunately, Lou Chang immediately calmed down, because Lou Chang then thought of another point, that is, if the whereabouts of Lou's secret betrayal of Zhao Guo were discovered, then Zhao Dan would never tolerate Lou's until now.

Since Zhao Dan has not done anything to Lou's, it proves that Lou's actions are still out of the sight of Zhao Dan and the monitoring guards.

Thinking of this, Lou Chang finally let go of his heart.

But even so, Lou Chang secretly made up his mind, from now on, try to keep an outsider looking normal, try not to offend Zhao Dan, try to be an invisible person, so as not to attract Zhao Dan and the monitoring guards. s concern.

Since it is necessary to maintain normality, when Yu Xin jumped out to harm the country with one mouthful, it seemed that he wanted to overthrow Zhao Bao, who is also a member of the public faction, Lou Chang would naturally come out to protect Zhao Bao, otherwise it would appear very abnormal .

But now the respected king Zhao Dan has made it clear that Zhao Dan does not want to overthrow Zhao Bao, but just wants to cut Zhao Bao's power.

Under such circumstances, Lou Chang thought that there was no need to contradict Zhao Dan, the king.

Not only that, Lou Chang even thought about it a little bit more.

As I said before, Zhao Bao and Zhao Sheng blocked the way of many people.

Although both belong to the Gong clan faction, these two lords actually also blocked Lou Chang's way!

Therefore, Zhao Bao's power cut was not a bad thing for Lou Chang.

Now that Lin Xiangru just died, the inner history that was originally occupied by Lin Xiangru among the six giants is vacant.

Before Lin Xiangru died, the ranking order of the six giants of Zhao State was Xiangbang Zhao Sheng > Sikou Zhao Bao > Internal History Lin Xiangru > Lieutenant Yuxin > Yushi Louchang.
