Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Anyway, from Zhao Kuo's personal point of view, he doesn't think that Westerners can do it, but we Easterners can't do it.

Besides, people who are not of my race must have a different heart.

If the foreign race is not used to conquer and enslave, why not invite them back home to be their father?

You can be tolerant of your own people who are Chinese.

But for aliens, it must be strict, as harsh as thunder and flames!The southwestern round was fought out with this consideration in mind.

In the future, after Zhao Kuo conquers a wider area, there may be another round of battles in the north, rounds in the west, and so on.

In short, everything is for the expansion and strength of China!The arrangements Zhao Kuo made after he conquered Qin were much bigger than when he conquered other countries.

This is because, on the one hand, Qin State was the first country that Zhao Kuo conquered after gaining the ruling power, and on the other hand, it was because, after the elimination of Qin State, Zhao Kuo determined that there would be no hindrance to the unification of the world, and that it could be used for the future. Make some plans for expansion outside China!With countless wealth and glory, Zhao Kuo returned to Handan City in a mighty way.

This time, thousands of people in Handan City were empty, and countless people took to the streets, cheering for Zhao Kuo and many meritorious soldiers.

Qin State, this is definitely a very influential country for Zhao Guoren.

In the past many years, Zhao Guo and the other two neighbors, Wei Guo and South Korea, have always lived in the shadow of Qin Guo.

Even after Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu's cavalry and shooting became stronger, Qin State also grew rapidly, and defeated Chu State, and threatened Zhao State many times.

For a long time, the people of Zhao State have regarded Qin State as their biggest enemy.

Since the Battle of Changping, all the growth of Zhao State has been achieved after defeating Qin State time and time again.

Now, this opponent who was once so powerful that he seemed to be unable to defeat at all has finally completely perished in the hands of Zhao State. One can imagine the joy and encouragement in the hearts of the people of Zhao State.

"Long live Wu Xinjun!"

"Long live the Zhao Kingdom!"

"Big Zhao will rule the world!"

Countless people in Handan raised their arms and shouted, celebrating this hard-won victory.

Zhao Kuo stood on the chariot, smiled and waved to the people on both sides. Every wave would arouse even bigger cheers from the crowd.

Finally, Zhao Kuo came all the way to Miyagi.

Here, there is still a Yujia waiting, but there is no King Zhao on top of the Yujia.

After Yujia, countless military officials of Zhao State stood up and saluted Zhao Kuo respectfully.

"Congratulations to Lord Wu Xin for his triumphant return and the destruction of Qin!"

Zhao Kuo smiled, got off the carriage, shook hands with the confidants in front of him, and exchanged simple greetings.

"When this Marquis is not here, you all have worked hard to preside over the overall situation of Zhao Guo for this Marquis!"

When Xu Li, Pang Nuan and others heard the words, they hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty's words are serious.

As the lord's subjects, we should serve the lord! "

Behind Zhao Kuo, Lu Buwei looked at this scene with inexplicable envy in his heart.

It turned out that this was Wu Xinjun's prestige!Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, got into the carriage, and drove towards the interior of Miyagi.

After Zhao Kuo, the military officials of Zhao State followed closely.

In front of the ancestral temple, Zhao Kuo returned the axe.

Afterwards, the eunuch ordered to come out, holding a decree in his hand, and read it aloud.

"Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, this time he destroyed the Qin State and added a new territory to the Great Zhao. He has made great contributions to the country and the people! From today onwards, Zhao Kuo will be named the King of Han, and he can open the mansion. Hanwang temperance!"

After saying these words, all the Zhao Guowu officials present were shocked.

This time, Zhao Kuo finally became king!King of Han, this is the title Zhao Kuo made for himself.

Why "Han"?

This must be known by any Chinese person.

Although Zhao Kuo is the descendant of the royal family of Zhao, in the final analysis, he is not a direct descendant of the royal family, but only a distant branch of the royal family.

Therefore, from the perspective of blood, Zhao Kuo is indeed qualified to inherit the throne of King Zhao, but those who really identify with the King Zhao's family may not necessarily agree with Zhao Kuo.

So, under the persuasion of some confidants, Zhao Kuo also wanted to open it.

Why must this Marquis inherit Zhao State?

To put it bluntly, was this country brought down by the Zhao family?

In fact, it's really not, it was shot down by this candidate!Then, let me create this dynasty myself!This is the origin of Hanwang.

After all, Zhao Kuo has now taken control of power and consolidated his power, so there is absolutely no need to continue to surrender to King Zhao.

And if this is the case, Zhao Kuo will not have to kill King Zhao if the Han Dynasty replaces the State of Zhao in the future.

Otherwise, if Zhao Kuo wants to inherit the title of "King Zhao", he must kill the current King Zhao.

After doing so, Zhao Kuo let Zhao Wang live.

Moreover, this practice was actually done by Zhao Guo's ancestors back then.

The watershed between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was the "Three Families Divide Jin" event, that is, the three countries of Zhao, Han and Wei divided the Jin State.

In this process, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom was not actually abolished, and the Jin Kingdom also had nominal land, but the three countries of Zhao, Han and Wei forced Zhou Tianzi to upgrade them from ministers to princes equal to the Jin Kingdom. .

The real time of Jin's demise was decades after the beginning of the Warring States Period.

The current Zhao Kuo is also operating in the same way. He proclaimed himself the King of Han, and since then he has been on an equal footing with King Zhao, but he has not abolished King Zhao.

Sounds weird, how does this feel like taking off your pants and farting?

But for these ancient aristocrats, they really only followed this set, thinking that this set was the work of real aristocrats.

Since everyone is following this set, then Zhao Kuo will naturally push the boat along the way, anyway, as long as he can stabilize his rule, it will do.

After a brief surprise, Pang Nuan was the first to kneel down suddenly, and said loudly: "The old minister has met the King of Han, congratulations to the King of Han!"

At this moment, the other ministers of the Zhao Kingdom finally came to their senses, knelt down and said in unison: "I have seen the King of Han, congratulations to the King of Han!"

Looking at the group of officials kneeling on the ground in front of him, Zhao Kuo smiled.

After more than ten years of time travel and struggle, today is finally here.

From now on, this marquis, my widow, is also a king!Zhao Kuo coughed and said calmly, "Everyone, let's get back together!"

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, everyone got up immediately.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "From now on, all the books of the State of Zhao will be changed to the State of Han, and all the officials of the State of Zhao will belong to the State of Han.

From now on, this palace city is the territory of King Zhao.

After leaving this palace city, it is all the territory of our Han country! "

This is Zhao Kuo, as long as you do it, you will act vigorously and resolutely.

After becoming the King of Han, Zhao Kuo directly and instantly inherited everything in Zhao State, leaving only a palace city for King Zhao.

From now on, the State of Zhao also existed in name only, and a brand new State of Han was born!Faced with Zhao Kuo's order, the officials naturally responded with a loud bang, and knelt down again under the leadership of Pang Nuan and Xu Li.

"Chen, minister of the Han Dynasty, I have met the king!"

The former king refers to the king of Zhao Guo, Zhao Yan.

The king from now on refers to Zhao Kuo, the first founding king of Han!Zhao Kuo laughed out loud.

Waited for a long time, and finally waited until today!Amidst the laughter, all the officials knelt down and worshiped, and the world was awed!Zhao Kuo's laughter gradually stopped, he glanced at the eunuch order, and said lightly: "The eunuch order of the great man, you can read the first imperial edict of the great man for the widow."

The former eunuch of the Zhao state, and now the eunuch of the Han state respectfully, took out an imperial edict and read it aloud.

"Since the widow has founded the country, it is time to reform the old system and re-establish the world's official positions.

Feng Xuli was the prime minister and the head of the military officials.

Feng Pang Nuan was made Prime Minister Zuo and took the official position of Si Kou.

Li Mu was granted the right prime minister, took the official position of Taiwei, and revoked the post of general, and all the officials belonging to the general were transferred to the command of Taiwei.

The Ministry of Finance was set up, with Guo Zong appointed as Minister of Finance and Pang Jian as Deputy Minister.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was set up, with Su Li as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Li Si as the Deputy Minister.

The Ministry of Intelligence was set up, with Feng Maosui as the Minister of Intelligence and Han Fei as the Deputy Minister.

The Ministry of Agriculture was set up, and Lu Buwei was named the Minister of Agriculture, and Xu Xing was the Deputy Minister.

A staff department was set up, and Sima Shang was appointed as the minister, and Xiang Yan was the chief of staff.

Set" Accompanied by the eunuch's order reading out a long list, all the officials of Zhao Guoqun present also began to gradually become excited in their hearts.

The big reform this time is definitely an earth-shaking existence.

Three prime ministers, more than a dozen new "departments", plus a large number of new generals, county guards, county lieutenants and other important local ministers took office, the future of the entire Zhao State, no, the entire Han State must be completely new!

Chapter 1095 Zhao Kuo Prepares to Move the Capital

Zhao Kuo's overall political system design is mainly a design that is integrated after referring to various dynasties in history and the systems of modern countries.

First of all, officials headed by the prime minister should become the mainstream. This is the most basic principle.

Why do officials become the mainstream?

The answer is actually very simple, because officials pose little threat to Zhao Kuo's royal power.

In the historical dynasties of China, the dynasties in which officials held power were mainly the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. In these two dynasties, there were basically few cases where powerful ministers could invade the royal power. The only powerful minister should be Zhang Juzheng.

This is because even if an official is in power, he has no soldiers in his hands. Without soldiers, he cannot rebel and cannot threaten the kingship.

But the situation is completely different in dynasties where generals are in power.

For example, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, commonly known as the "Three Kingdoms Era", is a typical example. Various generals who controlled the army stood on their own, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty existed in name only.

The same is true in the Tang Dynasty. Various Jiedushi vassals and towns that controlled military power, and one of the Jiedushi Zhu Wen was the one who eventually destroyed the Tang Dynasty.

Officials hold power, officials manage peacetime military affairs, generals are only responsible for leading troops to fight, and have nothing to do with the army after the battle. This is the proven effective method of the Song and Ming dynasties, and it is also a common method in modern society. Later generations The same is true of Midi.

Secondly, Zhao Kuo adopted the prime minister system, but the prime minister system actually has its drawbacks, that is, if he encounters a very powerful prime minister, he may directly take the king out of the way.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Kuo to be evaded, but will the descendants of Zhao Kuo be evaded?

No one can say this is bad.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo directly divided the power of the prime minister into three parts, the prime minister, the prime minister left, and the prime minister right.

Among them, the prime minister is the largest, and the commander-in-chief is the prime minister in the traditional sense.

The left and right prime ministers are the assistants of the prime minister. At the same time, these two people hold the two key positions of Si Kou and Taiwei respectively. In this way, the left and right prime ministers also have very powerful power. Although they are both deputies, they are enough to check and balance Is the prime minister.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Intelligence, and the Ministry of the Interior are all common departments in modern countries, so naturally there is no need to repeat them.

As for the county system below, Zhao Kuo did not make any major changes.

In fact, the system of prefectures and counties has not changed much until now. It is just that due to the large population of modernization, more official positions have been added, and some departments have been further subdivided. Not to that point.

All in all, this time the new framework has been completely established.

For Zhao Guo, this seemed to be just a change of the name of a country and an official, but in fact it was an earth-shaking change.

There were also some officials loyal to the State of Zhao who opposed this very fiercely, and even directly impeached Zhao Kuo in a memorial, claiming that Zhao Kuo was a traitor to the State of Zhao.

For these guys, Zhao Kuo also directly ignored them, dismissed them from their official positions, and then let them go home to cool off.

Mao Sui actually had a different idea about this matter: "Your Majesty, why don't you just kill them?

If the king is worried about taking responsibility, then I can let these people die quietly, absolutely no one can suspect us. "

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "No, just let them live.

They feel that Zhao Guo is a better country, and the widows don't necessarily need to change their minds.

They can continue to criticize the widowed Han country, but the widow will also let all Han people know that the future Han country will be better and stronger than the previous Zhao country!The people have a better life, who will miss Han, who will listen to their words?

If at that time they still want to continue to criticize the Han country and the widow, the people of the Han country will naturally teach them to be human without the widow personally taking action. "

Zhao Kuo's meaning is very simple. Don't you always say that Zhao Guo is good, but Han Guo is not good?

The widow will keep you, let you witness the process of Han becoming stronger and stronger, and slap your face hard.

kill?

This method is too low-level.
