Chapter 250: Mutual Complaints (Thanks to the Guild Leader)
At this time, Zhao Kuo shouldn't have left because her child was about to be born, which made Zhao Kuo hesitate. When Yi was about to give birth, as her husband and father of an unborn child, of course she should be with her side. Zhao's mother felt the same way, but Yi did not want him to delay her important matters. She said to Zhao Kuo: "Since Dong Chengzi sent someone to find you, she must have encountered something that could not be solved. Please help him."
"I'll wait for you to come back."
After Yi's instructions, Zhao Kuo thought about it again and again, he finally brought Li Yu, Xing, Di, Han Fei and others to Handan. Now it was Xing who came to drive for him, and Di also wanted to drive, but he drove the car too fast and talked a lot, so Zhao Kuo asked Xing to drive. Di followed behind him, which made Li Yu and Han Fei suffer. Han Fei didn't care. He liked to tell stories very much. After all, Han Fei had been searching for various stories and recording them.
The warriors sent by Dong Chengzi were also following them. The warriors told about what happened in Handan. The envoy of Yan State was assassinated and a warrior in Yan State was assassinated. The impact of this incident was still huge. After all, it involved two countries. In order to improve the relationship between the two countries, Jiangqu visited many ministers during this period? Most ministers of Zhao State? He also felt that he should live in harmony with Yan State.
After all, Qin is eyeing him? At this time? One more ally means more power to fight against Qin? The relationship between Yan and Qin has always been ambiguous. This is a good opportunity to pull Yan from Qin's arms to his side? At this time? Suddenly, the envoy of Yan was assassinated, or was assassinated outside the palace. This impact naturally was great, and the ministers were also paying attention to this matter.
King Zhao only gave Dong Chengzi ten days to solve this problem? Dong Chengzi has used six days? Only four days left.
When Zhao Kuo first heard about this, he was a little suspicious of Xinlingjun, but he quickly denied his thoughts, which was impossible. If Xinlingjun wanted to kill Jiang Qu? This was not a difficult thing, and he would not have to assassinate him before the palace? No one in Zhao could match the number of Wei Wuji's disciples? He could even create an army and destroy Jiang Qu after leaving Handan.
What's more? Xinlingjun doesn't look like a villain who can use this kind of method.
Did Zhao Kuo believe in Wei Wuji? The first person he doubted? It was Zhao Bao... Zhao Kuo was not stupid. He could see what King Zhao thought about him. He had begun to fear him, but he had no way to do it. He had summoned Zhao Bao to Handan City before. Di had already told him about this matter. King Zhao called Pingyuan Jun. The big reason was that King Pingyang Jun wanted to frame Xinling Jun and take down Xinling Jun's position?
After all, with this prime minister here, no one can deal with him...
King Zhao prefers Xinlingjun, and King Zhao prefers all the famous wise men... Is King Zhao aware of this? What King Zhao is most unwilling to see is that Xinlingjun leaves Zhao State. If Pingyangjun does such a thing, can King Zhao tolerate him?
Zhao Kuo was sitting in the carriage, thinking about these things seriously, and he thought about how to face King Zhao. Zhao Kuo did not think of seeking to usurp the throne. Of course, he did not think of swearing to be loyal to the feudal king.
Moreover, in this era, there was no saying that the king wanted the minister to die, and the minister had to die. Even Shang Yang returned to his fiefdom and raised his troops to resist after receiving the punishment from the King of Qin.
Zhao Kuo didn't want to die at the hands of King Zhao, nor did he want to kill King Zhao. King Zhao was really good to him. Even if he had any thoughts in his heart, he did not say that he would deal with him. Moreover, if he killed King Zhao himself, there would definitely be civil strife in Zhao...
Zhao Kuo sighed. Sometimes, he really envied the villagers in the Mafu. He just wanted to be with his family and friends, but fate seemed to be a sharp blade aimed at his back.
He could only move forward with his head down, but he could not stop and wait and see.
That feeling of powerlessness in facing fate made him particularly bored, and then he was confused about the future. He didn't know how he should get along with King Zhao, and he didn't know where his future was. If possible, just stay in horse cousin and discuss the doctrine with the wise men in the world, and cultivate more useful people. Such a life is really happy, with mother, art, politics, and Ge's complaints, Di's long-windedness, Han Fei's thoughts...
Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed again. Suddenly, he heard the crying in the distance. Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked Xun to stop and looked into the distance. Aside from the road, there was a young man crying with a corpse. Zhao Kuo hurriedly walked out of the carriage, surrounded by everyone, walked to the man. Looking at the corpse in his arms, Zhao Kuo sighed again and leaned over and asked, "He is this..."
"My father died of illness...I have no money to bury him."
The young man cried.
Zhao Kuo searched for a while, then took out some money and handed it to him, saying, "Please take these to bury your father."
The young man raised his head. This was a very clean young man, his eyes were so clear. He looked at Zhao Kuo and cried again. Zhao Kuo walked to him and was about to help him up. The young man suddenly took out a dagger from under the corpse and stabbed him. Di widened his eyes and realized first. It seemed like a gust of wind, pounced towards him. However, at that moment, Zhao Kuo quickly reached out his hand, held the young man's arm, twisted it in reverse, and the young man screamed in pain.
Zhao Kuo grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground neatly. Di Hexing rushed up and held him down.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
"I heard that anyone can kill the traitor who betrayed his monarch!" The young man widened his eyes and said angrily. Zhao Kuo didn't say anything else, shook his head and said, "Take him away, and bury this corpse..." The young man suddenly became fierce, bit off his tongue, and blood spurted out of his mouth, roaring in pain, Zhao Kuo looked at him in surprise.
Betrayed his monarch?
This should not be someone sent by King Zhao, otherwise, I would not have said so much. Obviously, some people want to alienate themselves and King Zhao.
Because of an attack, Di and others were very careful. They surrounded Zhao Kuo and looked at the surrounding situation vigilantly. In this way, when everyone walked into Handan, Dong Chengzi was already waiting at the city gate, and he took Zhao Kuo to his mansion. Zhao Kuo told Dong Chengzi about his assassination on the road. Dong Chengzi widened his eyes and almost cried.
An envoy from Yan State was assassinated and almost drove him crazy. This...
Fortunately, Zhao Kuo didn't care about this assassination, and he said: "Please tell me everything you know in detail."
At this time, Zhao Bao sat in the palace, lowered his head, and looked at the King of Zhao in front of him. King of Zhao said angrily: "How can you shoot the envoy of Yan outside the palace? If the envoy of Yan dies, Zhao will fight with Yan!!" Pingyang Jun shook his head and said seriously: "Yan is not afraid. They have no generals and lack food, and they cannot summon soldiers. As long as they send Li Mu, Lejian, or Lian Po, Yan will definitely fail."
"Xinling Jun is still here, so he has no way to deal with Zhao Kuo..."
"Then you can't force Xinlingjun to leave. What should I do if Xinlingjun wants to leave?" King Zhao said angrily, and Pingyangjun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to force Xinlingjun to leave. Although I don't like him, if you want him to stay, he has to stay. All I want to do is to let Xinlingjun get out for the time being, let everyone look at Handan, and my plan will be achieved."
"What are your plans?"
Pingyang Jun then raised his head, looked at King Zhao in front of him, and said, "If the thief kidnapped Ma Fujun's son and asked Ma Fujun to redeem it in person, do you think Ma Fujun will go?"
"You want to kidnap Ma Fuzi?" King Zhao jumped up, shook his head and said, "No, this is absolutely not possible. I will not allow you to use such means. Ma Fujun has made contributions to Zhao State. He once defeated Yan State for me and defeated Bai Qi for me. You can kill him, but you cannot treat his family like this..." Zhao Bao said angrily: "Please put Zhao State first!"
"I originally wanted to wait until Dong Chengzi is unfavorable to do things, then invite Ma Fujun to Handan and secretly kidnap his son. Ma Fumen comes and goes, and scholars from all schools are there, and strangers will not be investigated at all. I sent someone to find out several places where Ma Fuzi often goes to play... I prepared things in advance, and this thing can completely let Ma Fujun lose all his vigilance..."
"No, I don't agree." King Zhao shook his head and rejected Zhao Bao.
"What do you want to do? Don't you want to get rid of Ma Fujun?"
"Eliminate the horse and Fujun?" King Zhao looked at Zhao Bao, his eyes were full of pain, and he shouted: "I don't want to get rid of him! He is the horse and Fujun! He is the horse and Fujun that all the seven kingdoms admire! I have a horse and Fujun, but I want to get rid of him? How can I get rid of him?! He is the most outstanding talent under my command... I don't want to hurt him, I can't hurt him..."
"Then you are going to continue to be a puppet king, or simply give up the throne to Ma Fujun." Zhao Bao said coldly.
"Ah!!", King Zhao roared, drew out his sword, and waved it randomly until he lost all his strength. He fell into the palace, fell on the ground, and lay panting on the ground. King Zhao stared at the top with tears on his face. Zhao Bao just looked at him and let him vent his anger. After a long time, King Zhao said hoarsely: "He is cultivating talents for me. In the Handan School Room, he has cultivated many capable people. A group of his disciples have already served as officials in Zhao State..."
"Don't find any more reasons! With more and more disciples, he is becoming more and more dangerous. Now you are unable to deal with him. Ministers, generals, even soldiers, people, and even you are unwilling to hurt him... The system he came up with was to make Qin stronger. He and the King of Qin often communicate through letters, and his disciples go to various countries more. Now you don't even have the power to deal with any person."
"Outside the palace, we follow the instructions of Ma Fujun, not your orders."
"A great lord, your younger brother was killed by him, but the Chinese people applauded!"
"If you don't get rid of him, those who follow him will sooner or later kill you so that he can become the king of Zhao!"
King Zhao looked up blankly and asked, "Does this really need to be done?"
"That's... my horse man."
.........
When Zhao Kuo saw King Zhao, he found that King Zhao's expression was still not very good. He looked a little tired, but when facing Zhao Kuo, he was still very enthusiastic and kindly let Zhao Kuo sit beside him. Zhao Kuo asked with some concern: "Are you okay?" King Zhao shook his head and said seriously: "The affairs of the envoy of Yan State are of great importance. If the envoy of Yan State dies in Zhao State, no country dares to send envoys to Zhao in the future..."
Zhao Kuo nodded and said seriously: "You are right. It's already a serious matter to die." Zhao Kuo paused and said: "I doubt that this is what Pingyang Jun did, because Dong Chengzi discovered that the assassin might be among the samurai in the palace..." King Zhao's face was slightly stiff, he smiled, and then said: "How is this possible?"
"Pingyang Jun is seriously ill and is still on the bed and cannot get up."
"Shangjun...I want to tell you some things. I know that there must be a villain telling you that I want to betray Zhao State, but my family and friends are all in Zhao State, and I will not want to leave here. I just want to be at the Handan School Room with peace of mind and teach more disciples so that they can change the world in the future..."
"One king of the world? I know... Do you think Zhao State can accomplish the world?"
"Maybe, if you can support reform, improve people's livelihood, value talents, and stay away from villains, Zhao State will definitely revitalize... But, probably many people will die." Zhao Kuo said, and smiled bitterly again. He continued: "Shangjun, I am probably not suitable for this era. I should not be the one who comes here... If I can be more decisive and be able to make up..."
"I'm sorry... I can't do it for you, nor can I do it for anyone. I went to the battlefield to save people, not to kill people."
"I can only hide in the horse uniform cowardly, and strive to teach more disciples who can play a role in the era of a king of the world... All I know has told my disciples that even if I am gone, some people will fulfill my belief... In this way, I will feel less guilty."
King Zhao did not speak. He was silent for a long time before speaking: "You are right... You are not suitable to be a general, you are more suitable to be a prime minister. If I can rule the world, I will definitely appoint you as the prime minister and let you help me govern the world."
