Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

At a court meeting held two days later, Zhao Kuo announced the decision very calmly.

"Dear dear friends, I have already decided that I will go to Jiangnan next time in a few days to take a good look at the scenery along the Central Plains of our Great Han Kingdom, experience the customs and customs along the way, and take a good look at the grassroots of our Great Han Kingdom. How far has it developed. ;

For Zhao Kuo's meaning, it was very rare for many courtiers of the Han Dynasty present, and none of them expressed any objection.

This is actually because such a practice has existed since ancient times.

Since the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, the Chinese society at that time belonged to a vassal-type system, so the monarch of the Xia Dynasty would habitually lead soldiers to parade around to show off their might, so as to frighten those small countries. Let these small countries submit to the rule of the Xia Dynasty.

After that, the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty also completely inherited this system.

In the final analysis, the Han Kingdom was also born out of the Zhao Kingdom of the Zhou Dynasty, so this kind of system is also more popular in the previous Zhao Kingdom.

For example, King Zhao Wuling, the monarch of Zhao State decades ago, when he was visiting Zhao State, on a whim, he simply disguised himself as an envoy of Zhao State, and went to Xianyang to meet King Qin Zhaoxiang. Came for a meeting.

Many of the ministers present have experienced the era of King Zhao Wuling, or they were born in the era of King Zhao Wuling, so they are more acceptable to this kind of monarch parade, at least compared to the imperial conquest .

Anyway, now that the Han Kingdom is also unified, there is no major military need for Zhao Kuo to make a sudden decision, as long as it is a few days late, it is no big deal.

Therefore, after asking about Zhao Kuo's parade route and confirming that Zhao Kuo was only wandering around the Central Plains, Prime Minister Xu Li was the first to speak in agreement.

"Just like His Majesty wants to understand the people's sentiments, then the veterans naturally support it." ;

After Xu Li agreed, other important ministers of Zhao Guo also expressed their agreement.

So Zhao Kuo was naturally very happy, and announced the next decision.

"Since no one has any opinions, then during the tour, the prince Zhao Qian will sit in the imperial capital to supervise the country, and the two prime ministers will assist him.If there is really something very important, then it can be sent to me in time, and I will naturally give a reply. ;

After all, this time Zhao Kuo is just planning to wander around the plains. The location of the Imperial Capital City is 800 miles away from the Kuaiji County. The speed is actually only three or four days, which is not a big problem. .

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the ministers present naturally did not have any opinions, so this matter was very happily completed.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Kuo went directly to see Queen Tian Wan.

After Tian Wan learned about this, she also showed a somewhat regretful expression on her pretty face.

;Is His Majesty going out again?I'm afraid it will take several months to go, right? ;

As a woman, when she learned that her husband was going to travel far away, of course she was not so happy in her heart.

Zhao Kuo took Tian Wan's hand with a slight smile, and said: "This time is different from before, Queen."Because this time I will take you, Qiu'er and Wei'er, all three of them will set off together. ;

Like what was said before, Zhao Kuo always went out to fight, and it must be inconvenient to bring his wife to fight, needless to say.

But now, Zhao Kuo is on tour this time, and to put it bluntly, it is a tourist, so of course he can bring his wife with him, and it is impossible for anyone to say any gossip.

After Tian Wan heard Zhao Kuo's words, she was naturally overjoyed, and then she said worriedly: "If all the courtiers and concubines go out with His Majesty, will there be a lack of people to sit in the imperial capital?" ;

Obviously Tian Wan was a little worried, because as the supervisor of the country, the prince Zhao Qian was still a little younger after all.

Zhao Kuo also laughed after hearing Tian Wan's words, and said: "Don't worry about this, we will take a walk in the Central Plains this time with me, and it's not going to some remote mountainous area. It's impossible for anything to happen in the imperial capital." Messy. ;

When he said this, Zhao Kuo was also full of confidence.

After all, Zhao Kuo was the founding emperor who personally created the Great Han Kingdom. Is there anyone else who can be stronger than Zhao Kuo in terms of controlling the country?

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Zhao Kuo is still alive, there will be absolutely no chaos in the Han Kingdom.

When Zhao Kuo made an expedition to the Seleucid Empire, the interior of the Great Han Kingdom was as safe as a rock. What's more, Zhao Kuo didn't leave the imperial capital too far at all.

After Tian Wan heard this sentence again, she felt relieved.

After thinking about it, Tian Wan couldn't help but said again: "If this is the case, Your Majesty, otherwise we might as well bring a few more children, so that they can learn a lot." ;

After Zhao Kuo thought about it, he agreed very happily: "No problem, take all the children who are not going to school and let them have a good time. As for the children who are going to school, you three women will discuss and decide." Bar. ;

Anyway, Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng, the two most important people, definitely cannot leave the imperial capital. As for the other children, after all, they are also princes and princesses, and it is not a problem to stay in the imperial capital for the rest of their lives. Instead, Princess He became a caged bird imprisoned in the palace city, which is obviously not good for Zhao Kuo. .

So this matter was decided happily, and after 10 days, the mighty team set off from the imperial capital.

For Zhao Kuo's eastward tour this time, the common people inside the Han Kingdom did not have much opinion. For the common people, His Majesty the Emperor is actually a person who is out of reach. It's just some low-level officials.

Under such circumstances, no matter what Zhao Kuo did, it was actually impossible to have a direct impact on these ordinary people.

On the other hand, another organization, Fuhui, became excited after learning the news of Zhao Kuo's east tour.

Just the day before Zhao Kuo's east tour, a secret meeting was held in that familiar house again.

The tiger said with a calm expression: "My colleagues, this time Zhao Kuo suddenly decided to leave the imperial capital, which means that we have a chance to kill him." ;

Although Tiger's words were relatively calm, they caused quite a stir at the same time.

After all, for these people who restored the National Congress, the majesty of the emperor Zhao Kuo has actually become more and more important these years, and they even began to acquiesce in the authority of the emperor Zhao Kuo a little bit in their hearts.

So when they heard the news that they had the opportunity to kill Zhao Kuo, the first reaction of these people in the Restoration Congress was not surprise, but surprise.

Seeing the performance of these guys from the Restoration Council, the tiger was obviously very dissatisfied. Just when the tiger wanted to say something, the military division fox was the first to speak.

"You guys were bought by Zhao Kuo just after a few days of peace in Dahan's country?"If Zhao Kuo is killed this time, we will be able to tear the Han Kingdom apart, so we absolutely cannot give up this opportunity.Unless you already want to completely give up restoring your previous country and become good citizens of the Han Kingdom. ;

After hearing what the fox said, everyone present fell silent.

In fact, these people belong to the kind of die-hards who want to restore the country. Otherwise, it would be impossible to carry out series and activities in secret under the circumstances of knowing that nothing can be done.

After a brief silence, it was the sheep who had been dealing with the fox recently who hadn't dealt too much with the fox before speaking first: "Killing Zhao Kuo is of course a good way, but the question is, are we really sure about it?"If our actions fail, Zhao Kuo will definitely be very angry and launch an unprecedented counterattack against us. ;

The words of the sheep are actually a wake-up call to others.

You must know that during the previous linen war, the Zionist Council had actually suffered some losses and lost a lot of manpower.

However, the Linen War did not have any fundamental impact on the rule of the Han Dynasty and Zhao Kuo, so it seems that the officials of the Han Dynasty also did not take it seriously, and just checked it out and it was over.

But if Zhao Kuo was assassinated, the nature of the matter would be completely different.

Zhao Kuo is the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and also the Dinghai God of the Great Han Kingdom. Once Zhao Kuo is assassinated, then the whole country will definitely have to search for these assassins.

By that time, these members of the Restoration Council will actually be more dangerous.

After such words were spoken, the members of the Restoration Council present obviously hesitated again.

Although it is true that they want to restore the old country, after all, they are also in the Han Dynasty. After so many years of safe and peaceful life, they suddenly want to go back to the old life, and it seems that they don't want to go. .

The fox saw the retreat of these guys, and said coldly: "You must know that there is no free lunch in this world. If you want to get something, you must pay a corresponding risk in exchange."Besides, who said that we must not be able to kill Zhao Kuo this time, as long as we can kill Zhao Kuo, then it is impossible for anyone to pursue us anymore, because there will inevitably be an outbreak within the Han Kingdom A power struggle.

At that time, we will be able to stand among the various camps and provoke a country that turns the Great Han into a country with endless civil strife. If such a civil war lasts for a few years, the Great Han will inevitably collapse. ;

After listening to the fox's words, the people present at the Restoration Congress obviously began to cheer up again.

The leader Tiger made a final conclusion, and said calmly: "Although we have indeed thought of many solutions over the years, the actual effect is relatively limited, so since we have encountered this opportunity, Then you must seize it, otherwise you don't know when the next time you have this kind of opportunity.

As long as Zhao Kuo can be killed, the Great Han Kingdom established by Zhao Kuo will collapse instantly like a castle in the air.The opportunity cannot be missed, the time will never come again, I hope that you can go all out in this assassination operation, so that in the future, after we die, we will go to the Jiuquan to meet our ancestors, and we will be worthy of their cultivation of us . ;

After listening to the tiger's words, the morale of the people in the Fuhui was improved a lot, so they said in unison: "What the leader said is that this time we will kill Zhao Kuo!" ;

At this time, Zhao Kuo didn't know that someone was going to carry out an assassination campaign against him.

On this day, Zhao Kuo led many entourages, his three wives, more than a dozen princes and princesses, hundreds of officials, and a whole [-] guards left the Imperial City, all the way to the southeast. Go to Kuaiji County.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Kuo chose to take the water route this time instead of taking the land route.

The reason for taking the waterway is mainly because the waterway is more convenient. The Imperial Capital City is connected to the Central Plains Water Network, and the Central Plains Water Network is connected through various river branches and the Huaihe River System. Therefore, the Central Plains Waterway can directly reach Kuaiji County all the way. .

From another perspective, taking the water route is actually the lowest-cost option, because a ship can easily hold hundreds or thousands of people. This is also the benefit brought by the unification of the Han Kingdom. Any inland vessel can be requisitioned.

What Zhao Kuo was riding on was not the Yuhuang warship, because the Yuhuang warship was too large to travel on the inland rivers.

But even so, the building boat that Zhao Kuo was on had two floors and was very large.People who stand on the tall boat and look at the shore will also have a condescending sense of looking down.

As Zhao Kuo's wife, Empress Tian Wan has basically been at home these years, and has no tourism activities at all.

Therefore, the first trip in the past ten years also gave Tian Wan a great sense of freshness. She stood beside Zhao Kuo, with a happy smile on her pretty face.

"Your Majesty did not expect that the Central Plains has been restored to such a state. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be really hard to imagine. A few years ago, this place was still a place that was ravaged by war." ;

What Tian Wan said is indeed true. In the past few years, the deputy police, including the imperial capital, were all very rich plains, but due to the constant wars of many countries, the common people here Most of them fled to escape the war.

But now, the place is already full of rice fields, and all the fertile land has been reclaimed, and green crops are planted, waiting for a good harvest.

After hearing Tian Wan's words, Zhao Kuo also smiled and said to Tian Wan: "Let the common people live a better life, which is actually the greatest contribution to us as emperors."However, we can't just look at things on the surface. If there is a chance, I think we should visit privately in microservices. I don't know what the queen thinks of this idea? ;

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Tian Wan's eyes lit up immediately.

Which girl doesn't like this kind of sudden stimulation and surprise?

Chapter 1195 Fan Zeng in the Nest City (No.20 Seventh Update)

It is undoubtedly a big problem for Zhao Kuo to want to visit privately in microservices, but, as His Majesty the Emperor, Zhao Kuo has the right to do whatever he wants.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo quickly found the highest-level official accompanying him, and this person was none other than Mao Sui.

Zhao Kuo said to Mao Sui: "I and the queen plan to come to a wave of private visits in micro-services. You can prepare for me and leave tomorrow." ;

When Mao Sui heard this sentence, he immediately became numb.

Before Mao Sui could come up with an excuse to dissuade Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo had already spoken first.

"You are my intelligence minister, and you are the most familiar with intelligence. If this is the case, if you can't even arrange a private visit with me, I will doubt your ability." ;

This sentence directly blocked all the words Mao Sui wanted to dissuade. After all, Mao Sui wanted to prove his ability.

So the next day, when the fleet had such a short rest in a small town by the river, Zhao Kuo took Queen Tian Wan in disguise and left quietly under the cover of several entourages, rushing to another one ahead of time. city.

After two days of rushing, Zhao Kuo arrived.

The name of this small city is Juchao City, and it also belongs to a relatively lively city.

Zhao Kuo took Tian Wan to wander around Juchao City. This situation basically had no purpose, and he went wherever he liked, which can be said to be full of randomness.

For Zhao Kuo, he feels that this way can have a better chance to detect some things full of local customs from the grassroots.

Juchao City is indeed quite lively. It used to be the land of Chu State, so the accent of Chu State is everywhere in the whole city, but generally speaking, the characters and language of Zhao State have basically been implemented. , It is indeed the unification of written language.

After confirming this point, Tian Wan couldn't help expressing emotion, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Your Majesty is promoting the unification of language and writing, which will make the communication between the Han Kingdom from south to north unimpeded in the future, absolutely. An unprecedented achievement. ;

Men are all creatures full of self-confidence. When a man is full of admiration and praise from his own woman, his self-confidence can be said to skyrocket, which is very satisfying.

So after hearing Tian Wan's words, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing, and directly took Tian Wan's hand.

Faced with Zhao Kuo's sudden move, Tian Wan blushed, and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but Zhao Kuo didn't shy away from holding it tightly, making Tian Wan unable to break free at all.

Tian Wanqiao's face turned red, but she really couldn't survive Zhao Kuo, so she could only let Zhao Kuo hold hands like this.

For some reason, this made Tian Wan feel a little bit of sweetness in her heart.

Behind the two of them, Mao Sui led a few guards, and immediately began to look at various strange places such as the houses and streets next to him, but he pretended not to see them.

At this moment, a quarrel suddenly came from the side, which attracted the attention of Zhao Kuo and his wife.

;You are robbing civilian girls, I am going to sue the officials, I am going to sue you! ;

In Zhao Kuo's sight, two groups of people were twisting together, one of them was a man who looked like a middle-aged scholar, and he was holding a middle-aged woman's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

On the other side, there is a man who should look like an aristocrat, with a few thugs or servants, and he is also pulling the middle-aged woman, it seems that the middle-aged woman and the middle-aged The man pulls away.

There are also some people watching around, but for some reason, none of them stepped forward to lend a helping hand.

Zhao Kuo frowned, and said to Tian Wan beside him: "Let's go, let's see what's going on." ;

Zhao Kuo and his party walked directly towards this group of people, and when they got closer, they heard a sneer from the noble-looking man, and said: "Old Fan, you owe so much money and you can't pay it back. Then we take your wife to pay off the debt according to the previous agreement. This is completely reasonable and legal. Even if you go to sue the government, the government will not support you, understand? ;

The middle-aged scholar known as Lao Fan said angrily: "You guys are just cheating people. How can I study the rules and regulations on the loan document that I wrote before?"It's fine now, the principal of borrowing money is not as high as the interest rate, so how can you make me pay it back? ;

The nobleman sneered, and said: "Your words are even more ridiculous, because everything was clearly written in black and white before."I have reminded you again and again to let you watch the results carefully. If you don’t read it yourself, are you blaming us now?If you don't accept it, you can take your loan document to the government to sue, I think you can win the lawsuit? ;

When the nobleman spoke, his attitude was quite arrogant and his voice was very loud.

After hearing these words, the scholar's face also flushed red. He wanted to continue to say something, but he was pushed away by several of the man's followers, and he was separated from the woman.

At this moment, two more children rushed out of the room, crying for their mother, and rushed towards the woman, but they were directly pushed to the ground by the followers.

The onlookers turned their faces away one after another, obviously they couldn't bear to see this scene.

Zhao Kuo frowned, walked up directly, and said coldly: "It's too much for you guys to do things, stop it." ;

When Zhao Kuo spoke like this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhao Kuo.

The noble man's eyes fell on Zhao Kuo, and then he froze.

As an aristocrat, this man can certainly see that Zhao Kuo has a different kind of temperament from ordinary people. In addition, although Zhao Kuo is visiting privately in a micro-clothes, he is still wearing a set of silk. It is also the clothes that only nobles can wear.

The noble man's attitude improved a lot immediately, and he said to Zhao Kuo: "I'm afraid your Excellency doesn't know something. He owes us Lu's money. We have given him a whole year to pay back the money. However, he still hasn't come out.So, we are just acting in accordance with the previous loan documents. ;

As the saying goes, you talk nonsense when you see the devil, and you talk about people when you see people. This noble man undoubtedly interpreted this point vividly.

Zhao Kuo had a calm expression and said lightly: "Although the loan documents are indeed recognized by the government as having legal effect, don't forget that His Majesty has issued an order as early as the first year of the establishment of the Han Kingdom, requiring all localities to Usury is strictly prohibited.Although I haven't read the loan document between you and her, it is definitely within the scope of usury in terms of the interest exceeding the principal. You don't really think that if this matter gets to the government, it will get the government Support it? ;
