The reason why Wei Wuji was asked to discuss it is mainly because this matter is a bit sensitive.

What is sensitive is not because of Wei Wuji's identity.

After seeing Wei Wuji's talent, Zhao Dan was already determined to take this Xinling Jun for himself.

With Wei Wuji's ability, Zhao Dan certainly could not be underestimated, but if he was given a high position of power, it would inevitably cause trouble in Zhao's political arena, which is the sensitive part.

So Zhao Dan planned to take this opportunity to observe and see what attitude the ministers present had towards Wei Wuji's arrival.

Zhao Dan naturally knew the formation of the two factions in the State of Zhao and the opposition between the open and the secret.

But Zhao Dan did not intend to change this.

It is not only from the perspective of the emperor's checks and balances, but also because Zhao Dan hopes to see different voices in Zhao State.

When two different opinions and thoughts collide with each other, it is more convenient for the kings to extract what is truly suitable for themselves and their country.

The truth always becomes clearer the more you argue.

If Confucian scholars and officials were the only one in history, as in some dynasties in history, resulting in other social classes being oppressed so that they could not make their own voices and could not get the right to have them, then this dynasty was destined to be unable to maintain long-term stability.

In the final analysis, Zhao Dan does not value the distinction between the public clans and the common people. As long as you support me and Zhao State, you are the Zhao State faction, and I will use you. If you only make money for yourself and not think about me and Zhao State, then don’t mess around with Zhao State.

Therefore, Wei Wuji's arrival is also an opportunity, an opportunity for Zhao Dan to take the opportunity to observe who is for Zhao State, who is for his own faction, and who is just for the official position under his butt.

As soon as Zhao Dan's words fell, the ministers present at Zhao State all changed their faces in the same way.

The first person to speak is not someone else, but Zhao Sheng.

"King, if Xinling is willing to become an official in Zhao, he is willing to give in to his position as a prime minister."

It has been a day or two for Zhao Sheng to have this idea.

As one of the four gentlemen who is as famous as the Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, and at the same time, he is in such a high position as the Prime Minister of Zhao, Zhao Sheng is undoubtedly very well-informed.

When the news of Wei Wuji going north came, the conversation between him and Hou Ying in Daliang City not long ago emerged in Zhao Sheng's mind.

"If my lord runs to Zhao, what position should I take for Pingyuan? Can I afford to be Zhao's prime minister?"

"If Wuji is willing to go to Handan, Sheng will resign from the position of the king and let Wuji be virtuous!"

"Since this is the case, my lord will ask Pingyuan lord in the future!"

Although it has been many days since Hou Ying, who said this, had already died in Daliang City, when Zhao Sheng remembered this sentence, Hou Ying's voice seemed to echo in Zhao Sheng's ears.

Although Zhao Sheng has many shortcomings, one thing that Pingyuan Jun has always insisted on is - keep his word.

Since it is a promise, Zhao Sheng will definitely fulfill the promise.

Zhao Sheng originally planned to wait until Wei Wuji arrived in Handan before mentioning this matter to Zhao Dan, but unexpectedly, Zhao Dan told him first today, so Zhao Sheng followed suit.

As soon as Zhao Sheng said this, everyone else was shocked, and even Zhao Dan was no exception.

After all, there were only two of them in the conversation between Zhao Sheng and Hou Ying, and there was no one else, so of course it was unknown.

The hall fell into silence for a moment, and everyone showed a thoughtful look on their faces, digesting the bomb that Zhao Sheng suddenly threw out.

This bomb can be said to have blown Zhao Sheng's allies, political enemies and even the monarch a little confused. After all, no one would have thought that Zhao Sheng would give way directly, and it didn't seem like a joke at all.

After a while, Zhao Dan coughed and broke the silence, glanced at the ministers, and said slowly: "I don't know what you think Mr. Pingyuan sees this?"

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, it was Siko Zhao Bao who stood up first: "King, I think that although Xinling is known for his wiseness, Pingyuan Lord is also a talented man and has been loyal to the king for many years. If you abandon Pingyuan Lord and make Xinling Lord prime minister, it seems inappropriate."

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Bao, and it was not too surprising to Zhao Bao's opposition.

After all, Zhao Sheng is the leader of the Gong clan sect. Even if Zhao Sheng is willing to give up the wise, the other people in the Gong clan sect will not agree to the position of falling from the Gong clan sect to an outsider like Wei Wuji.

Sure enough, after Zhao Bao, Lou Chang immediately spoke: "I think what King Pingyang said is reasonable."

Zhao Dan turned his gaze to the other side and looked at Lian Po and Yu Xin, two important officials of the common sect.

Lian Po and Yu Xin looked at each other, as if they had gained some tacit understanding. Then Lian Po, who had been older, spoke first: "I think that Xinling is a great talent, and the king should value it."

Zhao Dan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this.

Could it be that the common people have reached a tacit understanding with Wei Wuji and intends to fully support Wei Wuji to take over? If this is the case, then some of Zhao Dan’s previous arrangements would have to be reconsidered.

Of course, Yu Xin also saw Zhao Dan's eyes. The Zhao State Shangqing suddenly understood what Zhao Dan was thinking and hurriedly said: "King, from the perspective of a minister, Xinling should be valued. Otherwise, the talents in the world would think that the king did not value scholars, and would be suspected of being useless. However, Xinling, after all, had just come to Zhao State, and it would seem inappropriate if he had been appointed as the prime minister."

As soon as Yu Xin finished speaking, Lian Po nodded repeatedly: "Yes, what Yu Qing said is what I think."

···

Zhao Dan then realized that feelings were not because the common people wanted to support Wei Wuji as the prime minister, but just wanted to win over Wei Wuji.

Since Lin Xiangru's death, there have been one of the six giants in Zhao. It was not arranged before because of the war. Now that the war is over, it is time to restock the six giants.

But the problem is that there are no ministers in the common sect who are qualified and accomplished to enter the six giants, so Yu Xin and Lian Po obviously hope to join the circle of Wei Wuji by joining forces to recommend Wei Wuji, and then strive to let Wei Wuji join the common sect.

As for supporting Wei Wuji as the prime minister? This is impossible for Lian Po and Yu Xin.

After all, if you want to be a prime minister, the common people will definitely recommend one of Yu Xin or Lian Po.

So just now, it was just that Lian Po said halfway through his words that led to Zhao Dan's misunderstanding. Fortunately, Yu Xin discovered this and made up his words back...

At this point, everyone present had their attitudes.

Except for Zhao Sheng himself, no one supported Wei Wuji to replace Zhao Sheng as the Zhao Guoxiang.

The common people and the public faction have reached an astonishing agreement on this matter.

In fact, even Zhao Dan himself did not support this matter because Zhao Dan had other arrangements for Wei Wuji in his heart.

Wei Wuji replaced Zhao Sheng as the Prime Minister of Zhao, which may indeed have improved Zhao State, but Zhao Dan felt that if Wei Wuji could be arranged according to his own ideas, it would be of greater help to Zhao State.

So Zhao Dan was not confused and made a decision directly: "Since that's the case, then Xinling is the prime minister, so let's discuss it later."

This matter seems to have come to an end.

And then that's not the case.
