Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 552

Zhao Wang roared angrily: "I understand now, so from the very beginning you have the intention of betraying the widow, so from the very beginning you set up all this! Zhao Kuo, you are simply despicable and shameless!"

Facing King Zhao's roar, the smile on Zhao Kuo's face became more and more cheerful.

With this kind of happiness, Zhao Kuo spoke.

"mean?

Shameless?

Dear king, when you do everything possible to target me, aren't those schemes despicable and shameless?

I can tell you frankly that originally I really just wanted to be a courtier, but hehehe, you guys, don’t give me this chance to be a good courtier!Originally, as long as you trust me, I can destroy the other six countries for you, and then take my wife and children to travel around the mountains and rivers, and go to sea to find new worlds.

But, how did your father, queen mother, and you treat me?

You have tried every means to tie my hands and feet, and even tried again and again to kill me.

Should I just watch your butcher's knives raised and be killed by you?

Excuse me.

Since you can do the first grade of junior high school, then I can do the fifteenth grade! "

Zhao Kuo's sharp reprimand made King Zhao speechless and even a little guilty.

As Zhao Kuo said, in the past so many years, Zhao Wang's family of three has indeed been trying to target Zhao Kuo and kill Zhao Kuo for a lot of time.

King Zhao gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Very well, since you won, the widow has nothing to say.

Come on, slay the widow and earn your reputation as a kingslayer! "

Looking at Zhao Wang who looked at death as if he was at home, Zhao Kuo smiled again.

Is Zhao Wang not afraid of death?

of course not.

It's just that King Zhao thought he was going to die today, so he just put on this appearance.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Death?

No, no, my lord, you misunderstood.

You are the great king of our country of Zhao, how could you die?

Please rest assured, your Majesty, you will live well until you witness my unification of the six kingdoms, and until the Zhao Kingdom truly becomes the only empire of the Huaxia clan! "

Chapter 1046 Zhao Guo is Zhao Kuo's Zhao Guo from now on

If it is said that the person who was full of ambition before was Zhao Wang, then now, this person has become Zhao Kuo.

The real victory is already waving to Zhao Kuo. What Zhao Kuo needs to do is to fully realize the long-term plan and ascend to the pinnacle of power.

At the beginning, Zhao Kuo considered what kind of method to use to seize power.

The first, and the most direct, is to kill King Zhao, and then Zhao Kuo calls himself King Zhao and inherits the throne of King Zhao.

This method actually has a lot of disadvantages. Although Zhao Kuo is indeed a descendant of the Zhao royal family, Zhao Kuo himself belongs to the collateral line of the royal family after all, not the direct line.

The Zhao royal family has enjoyed a lot of prestige among the people for so many years. Once Zhao Kuo did this, it would be easy to turn many originally neutral Zhao people into opposing Zhao Kuo.

The second method is to follow the example of the Tian family on behalf of Qi and Cao Cao on behalf of Han.

Whether it was Tian's generation of Qi or Cao Cao's generation of Han, they all chose to be prime ministers first, controlling all real power in their hands, and completely emptying the monarch.

After a period of time, all those who were loyal to the monarch were gradually cleared away, and the people gradually got used to the fact that Tian and Cao Cao were the real masters. There is much, much less opposition from the movement or from the people.

Undoubtedly, among these two methods, the second method must be more stable, and the price paid is only temporarily not being king, but the real gain is much more than the first method.

Therefore, after discussing with his confidants many times and carefully considering himself, Zhao Kuo decided to be his Cao Cao for a while!Since you want to be Prime Minister Cao, of course you must have a king.

Then, put the current King Zhao under house arrest and put him in the harem as a mascot.

Zhao Kuo looked at the pale King Zhao, and waved his hand lightly: "Come here, invite the king back, and have a good rest!"

A group of Chi Youjun immediately stepped forward and lifted King Zhao away like a chicken.

As for Queen Li, since she is a woman, she also received preferential treatment and was allowed to leave on foot.

King Zhao resisted desperately, yelling.

"Zhao Kuo, you bloody traitor!"

"Li Mu, you liar!"

"You group of rebellious officials and thieves will not end well, I swear to heaven!"

Looking at the figure of King Zhao being dragged away, Zhao Kuo shook his head slowly.

"It's really the howl of a defeated dog."

By Zhao Kuo's side, many of his allies and confidantes watched all this, all of them had fiery lights shining on their faces.

Although only a few people knew all of Zhao Kuo's plans in advance due to confidentiality reasons, but through the dialogue between Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wang just now, everyone has actually understood Zhao Kuo's determination.

Zhao Kuo is going to be a real minister of power and firmly control the power of the country in his hands.

From now on, Zhao Kuo will be the uncrowned king of Zhao!As for the people of Zhao Kuo's school, naturally all of them are chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.

Moreover, since Zhao Kuo has become the supreme ruler in the true sense, they no longer need to worry about blows from King Zhao, they just need to be loyal to Zhao Kuo.

No matter in terms of wisdom or ease of getting along, Zhao Kuo is undoubtedly a much better ruler than the current King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo turned around, looked at a group of joyful people, and smiled.

"Okay, let's all go to the main hall. It's time for today's big show to officially end."

A quarter of an hour later, the main hall of King Zhao's Palace.

Hundreds of ministers of the Zhao Kingdom walked into the main hall nervously, discussing while walking.

"You say, the death of Lord Wu Xin will turn the political world of Great Zhao upside down in the future?"

"Who should we seek asylum?"

"Looking for shelter?

Hmph, haven't you understood, the most powerful person now is the king, we don't have to think about any faction in the future, just serve the king honestly. "

These ministers were all temporarily placed under house arrest by King Zhao in the side hall just after the incident, and the people in charge of guarding them were all eunuch orders, and they did not encounter Zhao Kuo's subordinates in the incident just happened. attack, so they knew nothing about what happened in Handan City and even Miyagi.

After everyone entered the hall, they suddenly discovered that another group of ministers had entered the hall.

After seeing these ministers, the previous ministers suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"Great Sima Xu Li?

Pang Nuan Pang Qing?

Wait, why are Wu Xinjun's people back? "

"Your Majesty actually released all of Wu Xinjun's people?"

"This, this is too amazing, isn't it?"

While these ministers were talking dumbfounded, suddenly, they saw Zhao Kuo.

After a few seconds of silence, the atmosphere in the entire hall exploded instantly.

"Wu Xinjun?

! ”

"impossible?

Isn't Wu Xinjun dead? "

"Is there anyone who can come back from the dead?"

These Zhao Guo ministers really dropped their jaws.

For them, this night was really full of twists and turns. It was said that Wu Xinjun was dead, but now he was resurrected?

And the careful person also came back to his senses at this time: "Where is the king?

Lord Wu Xin has already appeared, why is the king gone? "

Greater doubts immediately arose in the hearts of these ministers. They vaguely felt that something extraordinary had happened just now, and it was very likely that the end was completely doomed!Zhao Kuo raised his hand slightly, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

Considering that King Zhao was not present, Zhao Kuo was the person with the highest status present at the moment, so after Zhao Kuo made this action, everyone immediately quieted down, waiting for Zhao Kuo's next words.

Under everyone's expectation and attention, Zhao Kuo spoke slowly.

"Just now I met with the king and discussed some things openly and honestly.

Your Majesty expressed 10% regret and hatred for the many mistakes made in the past, so he decided not to continue to interfere in state affairs, but entrusted me to temporarily handle the situation caused by the death of King Qi and Lord Chang'an.

Although I said that I was a little apprehensive, this is the request of the King after all. As a subject, I should share the worries of the King, so from today onwards, I will temporarily replace the King to handle state affairs. "

Once Zhao Kuo finished speaking, it was as if a heavy bomb had been dropped in the entire hall, and everyone was immediately silent.

Everyone is not a fool, they all know very well what Zhao Kuo's words mean?

This means that from today onwards, the supreme power of Zhao State has been transferred from King Zhao to Zhao Kuo.

Although on the surface this is not a usurpation, but in terms of the result, it is actually no different from usurpation.

So at the next moment, a voice sounded.

"Wu Xinjun, you keep saying that the king will hand over political affairs to you, so I want to ask, why doesn't the king personally explain such an important matter?"

Zhao Kuo's eyes fell on the person who spoke, and found that it was a minister from the King Zhao's family.

Judging from the information controlled by Zhao Kuo, in Zhao Guo's political arena, this person is undoubtedly the most loyal to King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo glanced at the minister, and his smile became playful.

"So you hope that the king can come forward to explain the ins and outs of this matter to you in person, right?"

Although the minister was a little timid in his heart, he had already spoken after all, so he nodded.

Zhao Kuo also nodded, and then said a name.

"Su Li!"

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Li went up directly, piercing the minister's chest with a sword.

All the ministers of the State of Zhao who were present immediately burst into exclamation after passing through such a situation.

Looking at the fallen corpses of the royal ministers, Zhao Kuo said very calmly: "Everyone is not a fool. Of course, I, Zhao Kuo, knew this matter very well, so I don't need to ask too clearly about some things, because if it is really bad If you talk about it, everyone will be very unhappy."

Zhao Kuo knew very well that for such an action to seize power, it is of course impossible to say that Zhao Kuo was shocked, and then everyone would be terrified, and then respectfully obey Zhao Kuo's order.

Any political struggle is bound to be accompanied by blood and rain, and this is especially true for political struggles like this one to seize supreme power.

Looking at the silent ministers of Zhao Guo, Zhao Kuo continued to speak calmly.

"I heard that earlier this evening, the king read out a list in front of everyone, and took everyone on the list into prison.

Coincidentally, I also have a list here, but the names on the list here are completely different from the list on the king's list. "

After saying this, Zhao Kuo glanced at Su Li again.

Of course, Su Li already understood it, and immediately took out a list from his arms, and started arresting people based on the list with Chi Youjun.

There is essentially no difference between Zhao Kuo's list and Zhao Wang's list just now, both of which are to arrest those who are at odds with his side.

It's just that Zhao Wang arrested people from Zhao Kuo's faction, and what Zhao Kuo arrested was of course Zhao Wang and the Zhou brothers' faction.

In addition, Zhao Kuo's list has another obvious advantage, that is, it is relatively short.

With a wave of Zhao Wang's hand, the more than 100 people were taken away directly.

As for whether they still have miracles like Pang Nuan and others just now, Zhao Kuo thinks this is of course impossible.

Zhao Wang had just arrested more than 500 people from Zhao Kuo, but this time Zhao Kuo only arrested [-] people, and the operation was over.

Looking at the silent hall, Zhao Kuo said calmly: "These one hundred and three people are all the ones who misled the king and made him make mistakes in the past.

Now that the king has come to his senses, naturally all the treacherous people around the king must be eliminated.

But for the rest of you, although there were some small mistakes in the past, as long as they can do things for Da Zhao properly in the future, this small mistake will be forgotten.

If anyone has any comments, they can raise them now. "

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, there was still a complete silence.
