Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Again, I just don't believe that Wu Xinjun can finally win in the game with the king.

What's more, the king chose us Zhou's daughter as the queen. "

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Queen Zhou and the eldest prince will live out their lives in peace."

A deposed empress and a young prince pose no threat to Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo doesn't mind saving the lives of the mother and child to show his kindness to the world.

Zhou Shaofen became more and more emotional: "I really didn't expect that Wu Xinjun, who was decisive in killing and attacking back then, would be so gentle and kind now."

Zhao Kuo laughed: "Actually, I didn't even think about it myself. After all, I was also a butcher who could kill tens of thousands of people at any time."

Zhou Shaofen laughed and said, "Maybe it's because you kill too much and you don't like killing people anymore?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said: "There is also this possibility. Men, after doing one thing for a long time, they will always get tired of it."

Both of them laughed at the same time.

After a while, Zhao Kuo stood up.

"Zhou Qing, today's conversation was very pleasant, but it's time for me to leave."

Zhou Shaofen stood up, smiling as if a host was seeing off a guest: "Yeah, it's time to leave.

Before leaving, can I ask Junhou one last question? "

Zhao Kuo said: "Zhou Qing, but it's okay to ask."

Zhou Shaofen looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Will Jun Hou become King Zhao in the future?"

When this question was asked, Pang Nuan and Zhou Shaoliang, who had been silent by the side, looked up at the same time.

Zhao Kuo answered with a smile without any hesitation.

"I will not become King Zhao, but I will become the emperor of the Huaxia people."

Zhou Shaofen's eyes lit up slightly: "Emperor?

The union of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? It's really domineering, and it really fits Wu Xinjun's style. "

Zhao Kuo laughed, cupped his hands towards Zhou Shaofen, turned and left.

Zhou Shaofen also smiled and cupped his hands, watching Zhao Kuo and Pang Nuan go away in the dark prison.

After leaving the prison, Zhao Kuo said to Pang Nuan: "We will arrange for someone to bathe and change their clothes later, and prepare a richer dinner, according to Shangqing's etiquette."

Pang Nuan nodded yes.

Zhao Kuo got into the carriage, left the prison, and returned to Xiangbang's mansion.

On the way back, Zhao Kuo looked at the Handan buildings on both sides of the road that kept retreating, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

The death of the Zhou brothers represented the departure of two more "old friends" of Zhao Kuo.

When Zhao Kuo first crossed, Lord Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, Bai Qi, Lord Xinling, Lord Chunshen, etc., all the names recorded in the history books were active in this world.

But now, most of them are gone, and they were basically defeated by Zhao Kuo.

This made Zhao Kuo feel like a world away.

The old era has passed away, and a new era is coming, and this new era was created by Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo closed his eyes, and silently paid tribute to these deceased and soon-to-be deceased friends.

After a long time, a voice came from outside the carriage: "Master, we have arrived."

Zhao Kuo opened his eyes, the expression on his face became calm again, and he got out of the carriage.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo turned back into the majestic Zhao Guoxiangbang again.

Half an hour later, Zhao Kuo received Guo Zong.

Guo Zong is now Zhao's domestic history, equivalent to Zhao's finance minister, and his status is very important.

"I don't know if the lord called the minister to come over, but do you have any orders?"

Guo Zong saluted Zhao Kuo respectfully.

Guo Zong was originally just an ordinary businessman, and later he got in touch with the royal family, but he was only regarded as a tool for making money by the royal family. It was not until he met Zhao Kuo that he was truly appreciated and used, and finally Step by step, he reached the point where Zhao Guozhong is today.

Guo Zong knew very well that without Zhao Kuo, he would not be where he is today, so Guo Zong's respect comes from the heart.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "That's right, is this year's budget large?"

Guo Zong said: "There is still money in the national treasury, and the wealth that you brought back from Shouchun City, my lord, still has a lot of money left over except for the rewards given to the soldiers. It is roughly estimated that [-] million to [-] million can be spent today Hundreds of millions of cash are available."

Zhao Kuo showed a satisfied expression on his face, and said, "That's good.

That's right, this Marquis has already told the Mohists over there in the Academy, let them set up a new shipyard in Langya City, you should allocate [-] million yuan to them first. "

Yes, after destroying the Qi State and seizing all the land north of the Huaihe River in the Chu State, the current Zhao State already has a large number of deep-water ports and many skilled sailors.

So next, Zhao Kuo will start to explore the ocean while conquering other countries on land.

The most indispensable thing to explore the ocean is the ship, and the development and improvement of the ship not only takes a long time, but also requires a lot of money.

Zhao Kuo still remembers a sentence he heard before crossing, "If you want to build a truly powerful navy, 100 years is just the beginning!"

With more than 70% of the earth's surface covered by oceans, the significance of controlling the oceans is extremely important.

It is precisely because of the backwardness in the era of great voyages that China in later generations fell into a humiliating period of being passive and beaten for hundreds of years. As a traverser, how could Zhao Kuo ignore this matter?

Chapter 1067 Zhao Kuo's Schemes Against Chun Shenjun

Although he was a bit puzzled by Zhao Kuo's order, Guo Zong had already gotten used to it over the years.

Guo Zong thought that it was far from possible to be on the same level as Zhao Kuo in terms of talent, so Guo Zong felt that he might not be able to see what the lord could see, so of course it was impossible for him to question Zhao Kuo's order.

What's more, Zhao Kuo has made many seemingly cloudy arrangements over the years, but in the end all of these arrangements were determined to be very forward-looking arrangements, and all of them have achieved amazing results. Effect.

After Guo Zong left, Su Li and Li Si walked in.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Si and said with a smile, "How do you feel in Handan these days?"

Li Si returned to Handan with Zhao Kuo's army.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Li Si couldn't help laughing and said, "To tell the truth, my lord, Xiaobie is better than a newlywed. I feel very good these few days."

The three laughed at the same time.

After chatting for a few words, Li Si was eager to try, and said to Zhao Kuo: "The lord is looking for the minister today, is it because of the affairs of Lord Chunshen?"

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. I'm looking for you this time because I hope you can continue to go south to Chu State to complete the work of Lord Chunshen."

For Zhao Kuo, the war has ended here, and the next step is to solve the matter of Chun Shenjun.

The reason why they came to Su Li and Li Si was that Nightingale would be the main force in this operation.

Zhao Kuo has spent so much money on the Nightingale system over the years, especially in the infiltration of big countries such as Chu, Qi, and Qin, and he has spared no effort.

Li Si nodded, and said confidently: "Please don't worry, my lord, I have already thought up a plan, and I ask my lord to make it right!"

After speaking, Li Si told Zhao Kuo the plan that he had already conceived in his heart.

This plan is quite long, Li Si talked for half an hour before he finished the whole plan.

After Zhao Kuo finished listening, he couldn't help but nodded again and again.

"Very good, very good."

For Zhao Kuo, the plan against Chun Shenjun this time was not conceived in Zhao Kuo's mind.

The reason is also very simple. Now Zhao Kuo is in charge of Zhao Guo’s government, and there are countless things that need to be dealt with every day. If Zhao Kuo needs to think and make decisions about everything, then even if Zhao Kuo has a superhuman body, he is afraid Yes, you have to work 24 hours a day.

Many diligent emperors in history had to deal with a lot of things every day, so after working for a few years, their bodies were exhausted and they died, making the people feel that "good emperors don't always live long".

Therefore, Zhao Kuo must properly delegate power and delegate some things to his subordinates.

This matter is what Zhao Kuo entrusts Li Si to do, and it is also a test for Zhao Kuo to Li Si.

At present, it seems that Li Si has passed the preliminary test.

Zhao Kuo patted Li Si on the shoulder: "You can let go of this matter!"

Li Si was full of confidence, and patted his chest to promise Zhao Kuo: "Master, please wait for the good news in Handan City with peace of mind!"

The next day, Li Si left Handan and headed southward as "Zhao's permanent envoy to Chu" towards Shouchun City.

Traveling all the way, it took only ten days for Li Si to return to Shouchun City.

Looking at Shouchun City in front of him, Li Si was also a little emotional.

Before the war started, Shouchun City was relatively prosperous because it was the capital of Chu State.

However, after Zhao Kuo led the army to conquer the city and took away a lot of wealth in the city, the city became obviously much more depressed.

Some craftsmen are repairing the city walls that were blasted by explosives, but the progress is very slow.

When they came to the city gate, Li Si ordered his subordinates to show the envoys of the Zhao State envoys to the soldiers of Chu State guarding the city. It shouldn't be a good thing to say.

After entering the city, the crowds on the broad streets were also sparse. Compared with the flow of people before the war, it could be said that there was a double sky of ice and fire.

Li Si watched this scene and came to a conclusion: "This city hasn't lasted for ten or eight years, and I'm afraid it won't be able to recover."

Is there still ten or eight years left in Shouchun City?

Li Si didn't think so.

In two or three years at most, this city should become the land of Zhao State.

Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

Seeing that Zhao Guo is about to rule the world, Li Si is still just a messenger, how can this work?

You must seize the few remaining opportunities for meritorious service.

Li Si collected himself, and said to the coachman, "Go to Chunshen Jun's mansion."

Although he was in Zhao State during this time, the Nightingale intelligence network in Chu State still provided Li Si with intelligence support continuously, allowing Li Si to have a sufficient understanding of the political situation in Chu State.

It is worth mentioning that after conquering Shouchun, Zhao Kuo secretly left a batch of money to the local Nightingale branch, so the Nightingale Chu branch is now truly wealthy, but Shouchun City now includes many The nobles, including the rich, were all poor and their money was taken away by Zhao Kuo, so the current intelligence work of the Nightingale Chu branch was very smooth, as long as they used money to open the way, there would be no disadvantages.

In Li Si's mind, he recalled the information sent by the Nightingale Branch of Chu State.

Judging from the information, after regaining his freedom, the King of Chu obviously had some bad thoughts about Jun Shenjun. This may be because of what Zhao Kuo said to the King of Chu before he left, or it may be that It was because Lord Chunshen led the peace talks and ceded a large amount of land from Chu State to Zhao State.

Although Mr. Chunshen asked everyone to sign together, and wanted to achieve the effect of "the law does not blame the public", the problem is that the failure of Chu State needs a scapegoat, and whether it is the King of Chu or the three major families, they all think that Mr. Chunshen is a scapegoat. Very good scapegoat.

After this period of struggle, Lord Chunshen didn't take advantage of anything. On the contrary, he was struggling under the cooperation of King Chu and the three major families.

After all, Chunshenjun's foundation came from the support of the King of Chu. When the Chu King also became suspicious of Chunshenjun, Chunshenjun's life was of course very sad.

So Li Si felt that Jun Shen would be very willing to meet him.

Things were exactly as Li Si had expected. Shortly after handing over the greeting card, Li Si saw Chun Shenjun walking out in a hurry.

"Mr. Li Si, I didn't expect you to come so soon!"

Chun Shenjun laughed out loud, completely unable to see how he had been suppressed during this period of time.

Li Si looked at Chun Shenjun and nodded slightly in his heart. At least in terms of his acting skills as a politician, Chun Shenjun was absolutely qualified.

Li Si also smiled and said, "Mr. Chunshen was just joking. You are an old friend of our country of Zhao. If Li Si wants to carry out diplomatic work in the country of Chu in the future, he will need a lot of help from Mr. Chunshen."

After Chun Shenjun heard this sentence, his face froze slightly, and then he immediately smiled and said: "That's natural, please, please."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Li Si didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point: "Mr. Chunshen, I heard that there seem to be some voices against you in the political circle of Chu State recently?"

Chunshen Jun looked a little embarrassed, and forced a smile: "It's nothing more than the daily operations of those guys in Jingyang, the old man can still handle it."

After all, Mr. Chunshen is also a person who wants face. It is impossible to say that he will ask Li Si for help. After all, Li Si is just a retainer of Zhao Kuo. If Zhao Kuo was here, Mr. Chunshen might really ask for help on the spot up.

Li Si smiled and said, "Is that so?

I came all the way to Shouchun City day and night to help Junhou. If Junhou really doesn't want to accept help, then I'm afraid I can only take all the things I brought back. "

After listening to Li Si's words, Chun Shenjun's expression changed again.

Unexpectedly, Li Si was even prepared. This made Chun Shenjun realize one thing, that is, Li Si might indeed be able to help.

So Chun Shenjun hurriedly opened his mouth to keep Li Si who had stood up: "Mr. Li Si, please don't be offended. I really didn't tell the truth just now, but I really need Mr. Li Si's help now. I also ask Mr. Li Si to find a way to help me out." Bundle."

For Mr. Chunshen, he is not interested in Li Si alone, but the powerful power of Zhao Kuo behind Li Si. After all, Zhao Kuo rules the entire Zhao country, and his power far exceeds that of other people. imagination.

After hearing Chunshenjun's words, Li Si finally showed a smile on his face, and said to Chunshenjun with a smile: "In fact, the current situation seems to be quite dangerous, but as long as Chunshenjun can make a statement, Then the whole dangerous situation can be resolved in an instant.”

After Chun Shenjun heard Li Si's words, he couldn't help being curious, and couldn't help but said, "I don't know what the specific meaning of Mr. Li Si's statement is?"
