Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

There was an obvious plea in the words.

During this period of time, Mr. Pingyuan's life was really very sad, because what he had to fight against was not a political opponent like Lin Xiangru, but the Queen Mother, the de facto ruler of Zhao State today!In the past few days, at least three thousand of the thousands of diners who used to be crowded in Lord Pingyuan's mansion have left for at least three thousand, which is no longer the grand occasion before.

Many officials from Lord Pingyuan's lineage chose to defect, and those officials who did not defect were too many to wait and see, unwilling to continue to obey orders. Han Xuwei and Lin Xiangru took advantage of the situation to recruit and buy a large number of officials, and at the same time, those officials who were loyal to Lord Pingyuan dismissed from office.

Mr. Pingyuan's power is now shrinking rapidly, and the shrinking rate seems to be accelerating continuously, and there seems to be no sign of stopping at all.

Soon after going on like this, Mr. Pingyuan will really become a loner.

Zhao Kuo and Mr. Yuan looked at each other for a moment, and said, "I understand what you mean, but I don't know how you want me to help you?"

Lord Pingyuan gritted his teeth, and said softly: "This matter is caused by the Queen Mother and Han Xuwei, only if the two of them are willing to let go, the old man will have a chance.

The old man dared to invite Wu Xinjun to go and say something for the old man.

As long as it can be achieved, the old man will never forget Wu Xinjun's kindness. From then on, Wu Xinjun will make all the decisions on the ginseng side, and the old man is willing to give out [-]% of the ginseng proceeds, only half of it from now on! "

Chapter 305

Even though he had already been mentally prepared, Zhao Kuo couldn't help being surprised.

In fact, Zhao Kuo now only has [-]% of the income from ginseng, and now Mr. Pingyuan is giving away [-]% of the income, which directly makes Zhao Kuo's income twice and a half times that of before!Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, looked at Mr. Pingyuan, and said after a long while, "Mr. Pingyuan, why are you here?"

Mr. Pingyuan had a bitter expression, and sighed: "It's all my fault that the old man was confused for a while, and didn't listen to Mr. Wu Xinjun's opinion, so that he fell to the current situation.

Wu Xinjun, can you help me once? "

After finishing speaking, Mr. Pingyuan bowed deeply to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo looked at Mr. Pingyuan, his face gradually serious.

Obviously, this Zhao Guoxiangbang is really desperate.

This is where the disadvantages of the courtiers lie. Even someone like Lord Pingyuan who has been prime minister for decades and whose acquaintances are all over the political arena of the entire Zhao State, will inevitably end up like this once he breaks face with the supreme ruler!Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "I understand."

Several of Zhao Kuo's staff had a lot of disputes over whether to help Mr. Pingyuan.

Xu Li said: "The reason why the Lord was able to serve as the commander in the Battle of Changping back then was all because of Lord Pingyuan's strong support.

Now that Mr. Pingyuan is dead, the Lord should also give him a hand. "

Li Sidao: "No.

Lord Pingyuan's kindness to the lord, the lord has given him enough rewards for so many years.

Now Lord Pingyuan has offended the Queen Mother, if the Lord is also involved, there is no guarantee that he will not be hated by the Queen Mother.

Besides, Han Xuwei's grievances with the lord are well known, how could Han Xuwei agree to reconcile? "

With a faint smile on his face, Zhao Kuo looked at Han Fei: "Han Fei, what do you think?"

Han Fei thought for a while, and said, "Hui, Hui lord, you can be saved."

Zhao Kuo laughed heartily: "Then save me."

The next day, Zhao Kuo went to Han Xuwei's Grand Master's Mansion.

For Zhao Kuo's arrival, Han Xuwei was obviously not mentally prepared at all, and the surprised expression on his face was comparable to the sun rising from the west.

In any case, we are all colleagues after all, so the face project that should be done is naturally indispensable.

Han Xuwei welcomed Zhao Kuo into the mansion, and said, "I don't know what is the purpose of Wu Xinjun's visit this time?"

When speaking, Han Xuwei's self-confidence was obviously much more than before.

After the failure of the ginseng bet, Han Xuwei was imprisoned. The experience of the entire Han Xuwei faction can only be described as miserable. However, no one thought that Mr. Pingyuan's subsequent actions would bring Han Xuwei back to life.

Now Han Xu took the opportunity to eat a large amount of sphere of influence that originally belonged to Lord Pingyuan, and gained the support of many officials from the lineage of Lord Pingyuan before. Now his influence is even stronger than before the ginseng bet, and It keeps going up every day.

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "This Marquis will not hide from the Grand Master, this time I am here to go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing.

Mr. Pingyuan is now willing to give in. I don't know if the grand master can give me this step to let this matter pass. "

Han Xuwei was obviously stunned for a while, and then looked at Zhao Kuo with complicated eyes: "I didn't expect that Lord Wu Xin came to intercede for Lord Pingyuan."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Otherwise, based on the relationship between you and me, could it be that this Marquis is here to chat with the Grand Master?"

Han Xuwei hardly thought, and said directly: "No."

Zhao Kuo looked calm, and said to Han Xuwei, "Why not?"

Han Xuwei also looked at Zhao Kuo calmly: "Mr. Wu Xin, although there are many grievances between you and me, no matter how you say it, I am still very grateful that you can not kill me after the ginseng incident.

But on this matter, the old man really cannot promise you.

Mr. Pingyuan wanted to kill the old man before, but now that the old man has a chance, do you think the old man will let him go? "

Zhao Kuo suddenly said, "The grand master also wants to be a prime minister?"

Han Xuwei smiled and remained silent.

Zhao Kuo nodded, and said, "Okay, I understand, let me take my leave."

After a while, Han Xuwei, who was standing outside the lobby of the mansion watching the carriage gradually go away, the smile on his face disappeared bit by bit, and his eyes became cold.

"Hmph, do you want the old man to let Mr. Pingyuan go?

What a wishful thinking!Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, can you fool the world and the old man?

You just know that the queen mother will definitely protect the old man, so you don't dare to follow Mr. Pingyuan into trouble.

Now he even came to talk to Mr. Pingyuan. If the old man really agreed to you, then the old man is a real fool! "

After a while, Han Xuwei suddenly laughed again: "But no matter what, since you didn't kill the old man after all, when the old man becomes the Prime Minister of Zhao in the future, the old man will spare your life Yes, Zhao Kuo!"

Han Xuwei's eldest son stood beside Han Xuwei and asked a question: "Father, do you think Mr. Wu Xin can help Mr. Pingyuan escape?"

Han Xuwei shook his head coldly and said, "Of course not.

Even if Wu Xinjun can use his benefits to persuade other people, such as Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, as long as he can't convince the Queen Mother, then everything he does this time will be useless! "

Sitting on the carriage, Zhao Kuo showed no frustration or dissatisfaction on his expression, he just quietly leaned on the wooden couch in the carriage with his eyes closed, waiting for the carriage to take him to the next destination.

Xinjun Lin Xiangru's mansion.

Like Han Xuwei, Lin Xiangru also received Zhao Kuo with a look of surprise.

"Unexpectedly, Lord Wu Xin would come here today. He is really a rare visitor, a rare visitor."

Compared with Han Xuwei, Lin Xiangru's expression is undoubtedly gentler and more sincere.

Although Zhao Kuo and the old man did have a lot of political conflicts of interest, in the final analysis, both of them also hope that Zhao Guo will become stronger.

Lin Xiangru did not entertain Zhao Kuo in the lobby, but brought Zhao Kuo to the study room, and asked someone to serve drinks and cakes. Then he said with a smile: "I don't know that Wu Xinjun is here this time, but what do you want to discuss with the old man?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "It is such a trustworthy king, Mr. Pingyuan has received a lot of criticism and criticism since Han Xuwei's incident, which has had a considerable impact on his reputation.

If this continues, the political situation of the entire Dazhao will become more and more shaken, which is not a good thing for Mr. Pingyuan or the entire Dazhao.

So today Benhou came to be a middleman, hoping to end the misunderstanding between Xinjun and Yuanjun as soon as possible. I wonder what Xinjun thinks? "

Lin Xiangru fell silent.

Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Don't look at Lin Xiangru and Mr. Yuan fighting for power and profit for decades, but just like the struggle between Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo, it is a dispute between gentlemen. .

Therefore, it is not impossible to persuade Lin Xiangru.

After a long time, Lin Xiangru stroked his already gray beard, and said slowly, "Mr. Wu Xin, before making a decision, I want to hear your conditions."

Chapter 306 Convincing Lin Xiangru

Although it is true that Lin Xiangru did not need to put Lord Pingyuan to death, he did not need to reconcile with Lord Pingyuan either.

Therefore, just as Mr. Pingyuan handed over [-]% of the ginseng share to Zhao Kuo in order to seek peace, Zhao Kuo also had to pay a certain amount of benefits to allow Lin Xiangru to leave Han Xuwei in this invisible war.

For this, Zhao Kuo was naturally mentally prepared, and immediately said: "As long as Wen Xinjun is willing to stop, then after Wen Xinjun passes away, I can protect the Lin clan."

Lin Xiangru is very old.

Although there is no specific record of the time of Lin Xiangru's death in the history books, there are no books recording Lin Xiangru's activities since the Battle of Changping, which means that Lin Xiangru should have died during this period of time.

Four years have passed since the Battle of Changping. From this point of view, Lin Xiangru is clearly at the end of his life.

When a person is about to die of old age, the most important thing besides his own life is undoubtedly the offspring.

So, that's definitely a very, very important bargaining chip.

As for people whose integrity has reached Zhao Kuo's status, they must keep their word, otherwise they will be cast aside by the whole society in the future.

Once a man speaks a word, it's hard to chase after him!Sure enough, Lin Xiangru's expression also changed, becoming a lot more solemn.

After a while, Lin Xiangru said: "It's not that the old man has no friends."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Wu Xiang Jun Lian Po is a few years older than Wen Xin Jun."

Zhao Kuo is only 28 to 30 years old this year, and he can at least protect the Lin family for 30 years or even longer.

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath and said slowly, "Then what about Zhou Qing?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "Zhou Qing and Wen Xinjun are just political allies, does Wen Xinjun really think that Zhou Qing will be so benevolent?

Only such a promise as Ben Hou can do. "

According to Zhao Kuo's knowledge, although Lin Xiangru is a well-known virtuous minister, his sons are not outstanding in talent. The eldest son is now only a city guard in Jiuyuan County, and his future career development is obviously far inferior to that of Lin Xiangru. of.

Therefore, the Lin family needs help.

Lin Xiangru smiled wryly, and looked at Zhao Kuo helplessly: "Wu Xinjun is trying to win over this old man?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Who wouldn't want to win Mr. Wen Xin to his side?

Besides, this promise of the Marquis will not affect the future disputes or even quarrels between you and me in Dazhao's political affairs, will it? "

Lin Xiangru said seriously, "That's natural.

The old man wants to tell Wu Xinjun that even if the old man agrees to you, the old man will not accommodate you in any major military affairs in the future because of this. "

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."

Lin Xiangru laughed: "Since this is the case, then the condition of Wu Xinjun is considered to be agreed by the old man.

It's just that Mr. Wu Xin, the old man still needs other conditions to convince others, Mr. Wu Xin should be able to understand. "

Although Lin Xiangru was the leader of the Scholars faction, he was not unanimous in the Scholars faction.

Zhao Kuo's condition of "protecting the Lin family" is naturally very willing to Lin Xiangru, but what does this have to do with Lian Po, Zhou Shaofen and other middle and high-level officials sent by scholars?

Zhao Kuo said: "The profit of half adult ginseng."

Rao Yilin Xiangru has been in the officialdom for many years, and at this moment, he couldn't help being shocked, and looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise: "Wu Xinjun is serious?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Of course it is true.

But let's make it clear first, this half is for Wen Xinjun and all of you, as for how to distribute it is your business, I don't care. "

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Mr. Pingyuan is truly a master."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said nothing.

Mr. Pingyuan gave [-]% and half, if Zhao Kuo can get this matter done with only half of the achievement, then Zhao Kuo himself will earn [-]%, which is also a huge profit.

After all, this is [-]% of the ginseng business!Lin Xiangru thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, if it is other conditions, the old man may have to think about it and discuss it with Wu Xiangjun and Zhou Qing.

But the old man thinks that Wu Xinjun's condition should not be discussed.

The old man can promise you on behalf of all the people on the old man's side. From today on, the people on the old man's side will no longer participate in any attacks on Mr. Pingyuan's lineage. "

Is the semi-profit of ginseng high?

very high.

Just from the account books that Han Xuwei took out before, Lin Xiangru and Zhao Guozhong, who had no specific concept of ginseng sales before, had an intuitive understanding.

Zhao Kuo gave too much.

Zhao Kuo's heart fell to the ground immediately, and he said with a smile: "Then Benhou is here to thank Wen Xinjun for his tolerance."

The two talked for a while, and then broke up happily.

After Zhao Kuo left, two figures appeared in the study at some point, they were Lian Po and Zhou Shaofen.

Zhou Shaofen said with a smile: "Mr. Wen Xin really has a clever plan. As soon as he hears about Mr. Wu Xin's arrival, he knows that there is a happy event. Zhou admires it."
