This is not the first time Zhao Kuo has enjoyed the treatment of a monarch, so Zhao Kuo naturally seems much calmer than before.

Now he is still a minister of Zhao, so his skill on the surface is naturally indispensable. So Zhao Kuo ordered people to stop the car about ten feet away, and then got out of the car and knelt on one knee to the little Zhao king in front of him: "What kind of virtue is the minister? I have to welcome him in person!"

After all, Xiao Zhao was only six years old, so he seemed a little nervous, but of course this kind of thing had been practiced in advance, and he immediately said very clearly: "Mr. Wu Xin, don't have to be too polite, let's enter the palace with me!"

Zhao Kuo hesitated for a moment, looked up at the Empress Dowager Han Ji, and found that Han Ji's face was as normal, so he respectfully said: "I obey the order!"

Although Han Ji was the queen mother, she was a woman after all, so it was impossible to have the same car as Zhao Kuo in such an occasion, so the only ones in the same car were Zhao Kuo and Xiao Zhao Wang.

As soon as he got on the car, Zhao Kuo coughed gently, took out a small Su Tie dagger from his sleeve, and handed it to Xiao Zhao King with the dagger sheath: "King, this is the gift I promised you before.

By the way, please don’t take it out here.”

Xiao Zhao Wang's eyes turned, a smile appeared on his little face, he nodded and put the dagger in his arms.

Due to distance and angle, this action was not noticed by the empress dowager and ministers following behind him.

This dagger obviously became an excellent recipe for ease the atmosphere among Zhao Kuo and Xiao Zhao, and made Xiao Zhao's words start to become more and more: "Wu Xinjun, is it very difficult for you to fight the Qin people this time?

But I saw my mother and the Grand Master and the others have been arguing for many days."

Zhao Kuo's heart moved slightly, but his face was still smiling: "It's actually quite smooth to go back to the king.

But there was a small problem later. I originally wanted to attack the capital of Qin Xianyang and completely defeat Qin, but the Grand Tutor disagreed with this, so I came back."

Xiao Zhao Wang was a little confused: "Why did the Grand Master disagree?

Did he collude with the Qin people?”

Zhao Kuo was shocked by this sentence and thought to himself that this person is really the same as his own father. Why do you always like him and be suspicious of others' treason?

Zhao Kuo pondered the sentence for a while, and then said, "Master, I don't think the Taishi will treason, but the Taishi really doesn't like the Minister."

The little Zhao King flashed his big eyes that were obviously inherited from the Empress Dowager Han Ji, and said oh, thinking.

Zhao Kuo didn't continue to say anything. After all, he was just a six-year-old child in front of him. If he talked too much, he would have a negative impact if he was told by the King of Zhao to the Empress Dowager.

It would be enough to just let this little Zhao Wang know that Zhao Kuo was indeed incompatible with the Grand Master.

Children's view of right and wrong is actually very simple. They are usually divided into two types: good people and bad people. As long as King Zhao thinks that Zhao Kuo is a good person, Han Xuwei will be invisibly divided into bad people by King Zhao.

Although King Zhao is only six years old, he is still King Zhao after all, and is the nominal supreme ruler of Zhao State. This impression may be useless, but it may also come in unexpected use at some point.

Judging from the expression of King Zhao, Zhao Kuo felt that Han Xuwei had definitely ignored this! A moment later, Zhao Kuo and King Zhao worshiped the ancestors of Zhao State in the ancestral temple, returned the axe and military talismans awarded when they went to war, and then walked out of the Zhao State ancestral temple with King Zhao to accept the cheers of the ministers and many soldiers.

"Long live the king!"

"Wu Xinjun's victory!"

"Big Zhao Wansheng!"

The cheers gathered together, forming a huge wave of sound that kept echoing between the whole world. Although it was not the first time I heard it, every time it sounded like a sense of passion.

Subsequently, Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao State, read out the reward in public.

"I am now Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, who is loyal to the country and leads troops to fight. He defeats Qin general Bai Qi in Yanchi and conquers Hedong's ancestors for the Great Zhao. He has made great contributions! I and the Empress Dowager are happy with him. I reward Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo with a thousand taels of gold, a million gold, a thousand pieces of silk cloth, 20,000 officials and concubines, 600,000 acres of land, and have the right to go to the palace to hold a sword!"

After reading these rewards, many ministers of Zhao State were shocked by their hearts, and many people showed unconcealed desire and jealousy in their eyes.

From this reward, we can actually see the embarrassment of the Empress Dowager Han Ji, the real person in charge of Zhao State.

First of all, Zhao Kuo's title is Wu Xinjun, and his highest position is only under the king, so he will definitely not be promoted.

Secondly, Zhao Kuo's official position was also the Grand Marshal of Zhao State, and he was only under Lian Po among the military generals.

After all, Lian Po was the number one general of Zhao State for a long time, and the Empress Dowager could not replace Lian Po and let Zhao Kuo take office at this point in time.

But Zhao Kuo defeated Bai Qi, a famous Qin general, and killed 100,000 Qin troops, and recaptured the entire Hedong County and part of Shang County. If he did not give enough rewards, wouldn’t it seem that the Queen Mother’s reward and punishment were unknown?

This is also a taboo for rulers.

Therefore, after thinking about it, the Empress Dowager Han Ji thought about it, in addition to giving Zhao Kuo extremely generous rewards, slaves and land, he also gave Zhao Kuo an additional right to go to the palace to hold a sword.

This powerful rank seems useless. After all, the Zhao Palace must be a place with extremely strict vigilance. How could Zhao Kuo, a minister, come to the palace with a sword to guard it?

In fact, this is a kind of glory.

The potential meaning of this glory is that King Zhao and the Queen Mother trusted Zhao Kuo very much, so Zhao Kuo was able to go to the palace with a sword.

To put it bluntly, you, a minister, can go to the palace with a sword. What if you want to assassinate one day?

Therefore, to some extent, the honor of holding a sword to the palace is equivalent to handing over his life to Zhao Kuo with confidence! The king of a country actually handed over his life to a retainer. Doesn’t this mean anything?

The King of Zhao and the Queen Mother made an official announcement to the world: "Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is our number one confidant!"

With this right to hold a sword to the palace, Zhao Kuo's official position and title seem to have not changed at all, but his status has risen sharply.

If Zhao Kuo was probably on par with Lin Xiangru before this, and then slightly inferior to Xiangbang Pingyuanjun and the Grand Tutor Han Xuwei, then Zhao Kuo now surpassed Lin Xiangru and sat on par with Han Xuwei, and was only a little distance from Xiangbang Pingyuanjun in the front.

This is an invisible reward, but it is also very generous, even beyond Zhao Kuo's expectations.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and bowed to the little Zhao King in front of him.

"My minister Zhao Kuo, thank you for the king and the queen mother!"

From this moment on, Zhao Kuo went further ahead in the political arena of Zhao!
