Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Jun Pingyang looked at Zhao Zhuang in front of him, his face was very ugly.

Zhao Zhuang calmly said to Pingyang Jun: "That's true, please go back to Pingyang Jun."

Lord Pingyang thought for a while, smiled at Zhao Zhuang, and said slowly: "Commander Zhao, when you were able to be this commander, the old man also recommended you to the king.

Now the old man just wants to know what kind of disease the king has. I wonder if Commander Zhao can tell me? "

Zhao Zhuang said to Lord Pingyang expressionlessly: "Mr. Pingyang, I can only tell you that the king is indeed ill.

But what the specific condition is, I can only say that there is no comment. "

Jun Pingyang ate a soft nail, which made him feel very ashamed, turned around and left, quite annoyed.

Zhao Zhuang looked at Pingyang Jun's leaving figure, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile.

As the commander of the imperial guards responsible for protecting King Zhao's safety, Zhao Zhuang certainly knew that King Zhao was not actually in the palace at the moment, but went to a romantic place to have a tryst with a certain dancer.

But Zhao Zhuang obeyed King Zhao's order, so it was impossible to tell Lord Pingyang the news at this time.

But for Zhao Zhuang, this is not a very important reason. Of course, the more important reason is that once Zhao Wang leaves, Zhao Zhuang can follow his original idea to find the person who is still under house arrest in the harem. beautiful woman.

Zhao Zhuang turned around and walked towards the Queen Mother's Palace not far away.

Half an hour later, the panting Queen Mother also raised questions.

"Why do you come here so frequently during this time? Does it mean that the king doesn't need your protection?"

In the words of the Empress Dowager, there was a bit of uneasiness. After all, for the Empress Dowager, if this feeling was exposed, it would be a typical social death.

Zhao Zhuang's eyes turned slightly, and he said: "Your Majesty prefers to worry about state affairs during this time, so I can come here some time, if Your Majesty is busy with this period of time, I'm afraid I won't have so many opportunities to come. "

Zhao Zhuang still didn't intend to tell the Queen Mother the truth, after all, for Zhao Zhuang, one more person who knew about it would be more troublesome.

The queen mother was a little dubious about this, but after all, she still couldn't freely go to and from the palace, especially when she was close to King Zhao, and finally chose to believe what her lover said.

Although Pingyang Jun and the queen mother did not find anything abnormal, another person still found that this situation was wrong.

This person is not someone else, but the queen who came to the present state of Zhao, the woman from the Zhou family.

The reason why Queen Zhou was able to notice the abnormality of King Zhao was because according to the previous rule, King Zhao would come to see Queen Zhou every two or three days.

Although it is said that because Queen Zhou is pregnant, the two of them can only talk and eat, but chatting is also something that King Zhao likes to do, which will make King Zhao feel more relaxed.

But this rule was suddenly changed during this period of time, and Queen Zhou hadn't seen King Zhao for nearly a month.

This is undoubtedly a very vigilant thing for Queen Zhou.

It would be fine if King Zhao only went to the palace of other concubines, but judging from the eyeliner of Queen Zhou all over the palace, it is clear that King Zhao rarely visited other concubines during this period, and it can even be said that he almost No.

As a queen, Queen Zhou's influence in the palace is still very strong, so after some soft and hard bribes, Queen Zhou finally got the information she wanted.

"The king leaves the palace every afternoon and won't come back until the next morning?"

After hearing the news, Queen Zhou's complexion changed drastically.

Queen Zhou's first reaction was to tell the queen mother, but she had just left the palace, and then returned suddenly.

On the second day, Queen Zhou's mother, Zhou Shaoliang's wife, was recruited into the palace by Queen Zhou in the name of missing her mother.

That night Zhou Shaofen came to Zhao Kuo's mansion, and once again secretly begged to see Zhao Kuo.

"Zhou Qing, what happened this time?"

Zhao Kuo received Zhou Shaofen with a smile on his face, and his tone was very relaxed.

During the period when King Zhao ignored government affairs, the entire government affairs were basically in the hands of a few important officials.

And Zhao Kuo took advantage of his number advantage among several important ministers, and quietly caused a lot of stumbling blocks for Lord Pingyang, which has greatly weakened Lord Pingyang's power.

For Zhao Kuo, if King Zhao can continue like this, it would definitely be a great thing.

Zhou Shaofen didn't know Zhao Kuo's thoughts, he just told Zhao Kuo what he heard from the queen, and then said worriedly: "Mr. Wu Xin, the king doesn't know why he is going out of the palace all day long. Run, if it is known by those with ulterior motives, wouldn't it be a big trouble?"

Zhao Kuo smiled when he heard the words, and thought to himself that I really hope that something will happen to this King Zhao. If that happens, the political circle of Zhao State will really be completely messed up.

However, from the perspective of Zhao Kuo's own self-esteem, he did not bother to use this method of assassination to seize power.

Paper cannot contain fire. If this method is used to seize power, if it is exposed in the future, it will do a hundred harms to Zhao Kuo's rule and will not benefit anything.

People in this era still pay more attention to integrity. It is impossible for a king without integrity to gain the approval of the world, and without the approval of the world, the rule cannot last.

Zhao Kuo rubbed his chin, and said unhurriedly to Zhou Shaofen in front of him, "To tell you the truth, Zhou Qing, in fact, I just learned the information about the king."

Zhou Shaofen suddenly regained his energy when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "So, does Wu Xinjun know the real reason why the king has ignored government affairs recently and left Miyagi for the night at will?"

Zhao Kuo sighed, deliberately showing a difficult expression and said: "Yes, yes, but this matter is a bit difficult to say, so I was hesitant after knowing it."

Zhou Shaofen became anxious when he heard it, and said quickly: "Mr. Wu Xin, you are the magic needle of Dinghai in our country of Zhao, if you ignore this matter, then how can the king know his way back?

Let's talk about what's going on behind the scenes. "

Zhou Shaofen urged Zhao Kuo a lot, and finally Zhao Kuo made a gesture of being forced to speak.

"Actually, this matter is also very simple. According to my investigation report, the king should have spent the night in the most famous brothel in Handan City during this period of time."

Zhou Shaofen obviously didn't expect such a result at all, and was stunned on the spot.

It took almost half a minute for Zhou Shaofen to come back to his senses again, and suddenly cried out.

"How could the king do such a thing?

It is too much! "

Chapter 847 Young Master Zhou is in a hurry

Zhou Shaofen completely lost his composure at this moment.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhou Shaofen, and was not surprised by Zhou Shaofen's reaction.

Zhao Wang's going to the brothel certainly had no effect on Zhao Kuo, but it was completely different for Zhou Shaofen.

You must know that the current Zhou family can't compete with any of Pingyang Jun or Zhao Kuo in terms of power or influence.

The reason why their strength is strong and their status is consolidated is all because of the queen of Zhou in the palace.

For a long time, although King Zhao has married many concubines, Queen Zhou is undoubtedly the most beloved. After all, Queen Zhou gave birth to a prince for King Zhao, and a second child is also in preparation.

Now Zhao Wang actually went to the brothel, and it took so many days, the fool also knew that Zhao Wang must have met a very unforgettable woman there, so he lingered so much.

In this case, the queen's position will be unstable.

Zhao Kuo secretly laughed in his heart, but in fact this trick was Zhao Kuo's plan.

Why did Zhao Kuo do this?

The reason was simple, it was the strategy Han Fei proposed last time.

As Han Fei said last time, there is a good way to break the situation right now, which is to drive a wedge between King Zhao and Queen.

Considering the nature of this king Zhao's misbehavior in history, Zhao Kuo quickly drew up a new plan, that is, let the eunuch Ling lead King Zhao at the right time, and quietly go out of the palace to look for outside stimuli.

In history, this King Zhao established a woman from a brothel as his queen, and Zhao Kuo didn't worry that King Zhao would leave the palace at all.

Sure enough, after waiting for more than a month, such an opportunity came.

Everything today can be said to be under Zhao Kuo's control.

From another point of view, separating the relationship between the Queen and King Zhao is equivalent to separating the relationship between the Zhou family and King Zhao.

Once the Zhou family and Zhao Wang become antagonistic, it is obviously good news for Zhao Kuo, so this plan can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Zhou Shaofen didn't know that there were so many thoughts in Zhao Kuo's mind, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately turned to Zhao Kuo for help.

"Wu Xinjun, we have to persuade the king well, let him change his ways and return to righteousness!"

When he said this, Zhou Shaofen's face was almost ferocious.

If he didn't have a sliver of reason, maybe Zhou Shaofen would rush to that brothel right now, and burn that brothel to nothing.

Facing Zhou Shaofen's plea for help, Zhao Kuo also showed a embarrassed expression: "Zhou Qing, to be honest, this matter is not easy to handle!"

Zhao Kuo analyzed it to Zhou Shaofen.

It was a very secret matter that King Zhao left the palace, and now that it was exposed, it would be a very serious blow to King Zhao himself in terms of reputation and prestige.

Not only that, but it will also make King Zhao even more suspicious, thinking that the people around him may betray him.

Originally, a lot of people had died during this period of time in the palace city of Zhao State. If this matter is exposed again, it is conceivable that more people will die.

Not only that, the exposure of the whole matter will make King Zhao even more angry. He will very much hate the person who exposed this matter, and even retaliate against this person in the future.

Zhao Kuo sighed at this point, and said to Zhou Shao in front of him: "Zhou Qing, do you understand now?

If the matter is exposed, we can of course, as a courtier, submit a memorial to persuade the king.

However, we cannot expose this matter, otherwise, we will be in big trouble.

You also know the character of our king, he is not afraid of anything, if he bears a grudge, the two of us will not be able to stand it. "

Facing Zhao Kuo's analysis, Zhou Shaofen was speechless for a while.

I have to admit that Zhao Kuo's words are indeed reasonable and reasonable. It can be said that Zhou Shaofen can't find any reason to refute.

Zhou Shaofen said to Zhao Kuo very eagerly: "Is there no other way?

As long as you can help Wu Xinjun this time, our Zhou family will definitely repay you in the future! "

Seeing Zhou Shaofen's anxious appearance, Zhao Kuo was also secretly happy in his heart.

Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing, if your younger brother could help me sincerely, I would not play such tricks.

It's a pity that your younger brother's behavior has never been stopped by you, presumably you have already begun to hesitate in your heart, right?

I hope that after this incident, you can completely end this hesitation, stand with me, and seize the power of this Zhao country.

So Zhao Kuo spoke very calmly.

"Of course, Zhou Qing's matter is not without a turning point, but if you want to do this, it will be difficult for you."

Zhou Shaofen couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and said to Zhao Kuo: "It's already reached this time, is there anything that can be more embarrassing?

Wu Xinjun, if you have any ideas, just say it directly. "

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Since it's Zhou Qing's request, then I'll just say it straight.

In fact, we are not the only ones who are concerned about the king's recent movements, there is another person who is also very concerned. "

Zhou Shaofen wondered: "Who?"

Zhao Kuo smiled: "You and I are very familiar with this person, and his status is even higher than that of you and me."

Zhou Shaofen's body shook, and he came back to his senses: "Is it Lord Pingyang?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and nodded: "It's Lord Pingyang."

Zhou Shaofen took a deep breath: "Mr. Wu Xin means to ask Mr. Pingyang to expose this matter?"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "The one who knows me is Zhou Qing!"

Zhou Shaofen completely understood.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Kuo wanted Pingyang Jun to take the blame and let Pingyang Jun become the person who was hated by King Zhao.

Of course, Zhou Shaofen had no opinion on this.

Zhou Shaofen wondered: "So, why is this matter embarrassing me?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "I haven't talked about the embarrassing things yet.

If you want Jun Pingyang to believe and expose this matter, you need someone with a lot of weight to talk to him.

But Mr. Pingyang will definitely not believe what I said, so "Speaking of this, Zhou Shaofen already knows the elegant meaning after hearing the string song: "Mr. Wu Xin, don't need to say too much, this matter will be handled by the old man, and it must be done properly Appropriate post! "

For Zhou Shaofen, Zhao Wang's going out to steal fish is something that must be stopped.

Isn't it just a play, no problem!

Chapter 848

As the saying goes, things have nothing to do with oneself, but when things are closely related to one's own interests, the motivation to do things is naturally completely different.

After Zhou Shaofen left Zhao Kuo's mansion, he immediately sent someone to invite Pingyang Jun to come to his home for a banquet on the second day.

Mr. Pingyuan was not in a very good mood at this time, and he happened to need Zhou Shaofen's support very much, so after receiving the invitation, he immediately came to Zhou Shaofen's house.
