November 1st, New Year's Day.

On this day, a grand dynasty meeting was held in Zhao State, and the six-year-old Zhao King Zhao Yan officially entered his first full year of rule over Zhao State.

To this end, Zhao State also had a general amnesty, sending many death row prisoners and criminals who were originally in prison to the newly conquered Shangdang County. Hedong County and Shang County reclaimed land for Zhao State and guarded the border. Some people were also assigned to the academy to become the coolies for building the academy.

In addition, a group of ministers from Zhao State received rewards for promotion and promotion, the most eye-catching of these two important officials of Zhao State.

Shangqing of Zhao State, Lin Xiangru, was officially appointed as Wenxinjun by King Zhao, and his fief was Shangdang County Changzhi County.

Lieutenant Zhou Shaofen of Zhao State was named Shangqing by King Zhao, and he was only one step away from the position of Junhou.

The two important officials of the Scholar Sect were granted the title of King Zhao at the same time, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Scholar Sect.

On the other hand, although Zhao Kuo and Pingyuan Jun also received some rewards such as money and fields, the gains were almost negligible compared to those of the scholars.

In response to this, Pingyuan Jun seemed quite angry during the chat with Zhao Kuo after the grand court discussion: "We should be polite and honest in governing the country. We have many talented people here, but the Empress Dowager actually gave rewards to Lin Xiangru and others, which really made me feel disappointed!"

It was not just Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen, but King Zhao also promoted a large number of Zhao officials to the subsequent list. Among them, the scholars from Lin Xiangru accounted for more than 70%, while less than 30% of them were Pingyuan Jun and Zhao Kuo. It was no wonder Pingyuan Jun was so angry.

Zhao Kuo seemed quite calm about this, after all, it was already expected.

Zhao Kuo in turn advised Pingyuan Jun: "Honey, the current situation is not on our side, so let Lin Qing... Oh no, Wen Xinjun and the others be proud for a while."

Zhao Kuo also felt a little strange when he said this title.

Zhao Kuo himself was Wu Xinjun, but the Empress Dowager just appointed Lin Xiangru as Wen Xinjun. No matter how you look at it, they deliberately wanted Lin Xiangru to fight with Zhao Kuo.

Pingyuan Jun looked at Zhao Kuo and seemed a little strange: "Wu Xinjun, are you not angry at all?

It's really not like your style."

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while and sighed.

The matter has reached this point. If Zhao Kuo further conflicts with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager will probably have to go to the death with Zhao Kuo.

Considering that there are a large number of people including Pingyuan Jun, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, etc., if the Empress Dowager is really determined to oppose Zhao Kuo, even if Zhao Kuo can win, Zhao State will inevitably have to experience an extremely tragic civil war, and will be 100% taken advantage of the situation by other countries.

The time has not come.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo can only give in temporarily to avoid irritating the queen mother. Women are always more likely to go crazy, and it is easier to ignore them when they get crazy.

After a pause, Zhao Kuo whispered: "Honey, listen to me."

Which country will be expeditioned this year? This time we will not compete with Wen Xinjun and the others."

Pingyuan Jun was silent for a while and left without saying a word.

Zhao Kuo looked at Pingyuan Jun's leaving figure and couldn't help but shake his head.

All the good things have been said. If this Pingyuan Jun still doesn't hit the wall and doesn't look back, Zhao Kuo has no choice.

Pingyuan Jun actually didn't understand these principles. This Zhao Xiangbang was angry with the empress dowager.

When he returned to the mansion, Pingyuan Jun said to his confidants: "I am a minister of three dynasties, the uncle of the king and the uncle of the queen mother. She is so rude to me?

I must fight for a breath this time!"

On the third day of November, two days after the grand dynasty meeting, the first court meeting of Zhao State in the New Year was held in Congtai Main Hall.

As soon as Zhao Kuo entered the hall, he found that Xiao Zhao had appeared with the Empress Dowager, so he strictly followed the etiquette and bowed to Xiao Zhao in a strict manner: "I have seen the king."

Although he doesn't like the father of Xiao Zhao, Zhao Kuo still has a good impression of the Xiao Zhao King.

After looking at Zhao Kuo, Xiao Zhao smiled first, but then he didn't know what he thought of. The smile disappeared immediately. He just nodded to Zhao Kuo very seriously and said nothing.

After a moment, everyone arrived, and this court discussion officially began.

The Empress Dowager didn't talk nonsense, and came up straight to the point: "You are here again when Da Zhao decided to fight, let's express some opinions."

Some people may ask, can Zhao fight every year, and can the country bear the national strength?

Can bear it.

The Warring States Period was not like the period of unification in later generations. There may be a war in a few years or even decades. The people could not stand it if the war density was slightly higher and they would have to rebel and change the dynasty.

In this era, wars are common every year. For example, in the past 100 years since Shang Yang's reform, Qin has launched more than 90 wars, which can be called a war madman, and Zhao has also followed closely with more than 70 wars.

How do you come from a powerful army?

They are all elite soldiers who have emerged from the sea of ​​blood through wars like the two countries! What's more, in recent years, Zhao State has successively obtained Shangdang County, Hedong County and half of Shang County through wars. Not only has the war not been empty due to the national treasury, but has made a lot of money. Therefore, the rulers of Zhao State are naturally more willing to start the war.

This is like the Qin State in history. Nine out of ten battles were won, and each victory could obtain the land, population and wealth of the enemy country. As Qin State became stronger and stronger, the other six countries became weaker and weaker, and eventually Qin State unified the world.

This is the so-called "no absolute" in the world. It is obviously a military act, but under such specific conditions, it has become the advantage of Qin and Zhao.

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Pingyuan Jun stood up and was the first to speak: "Empress Dowager, the old minister thinks that Da Zhao should attack Qin this time!"

Zhao Kuo glanced at Pingyuan Jun and shook his head secretly.

This Jun Hou is really stupid.

The Queen Mother's eyes moved slightly and said, "Why?"

Pingyuan Jun talked: "Qin State has always been our mortal enemy of Zhao, and this time Wu Xinjun signed an alliance with Chu State, and as long as Zhao attacked Qin and Chu State, it would definitely provide assistance.

In this way, the gathering of the power of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Han, Wei and Chu will inevitably be able to take Guanzhong. Qin can only defend the land of Bashu, and there is no need to worry about it from now on!"

Pingyuan Jun basically copied what Zhao Kuo said that day, which made Zhao Kuo a little amused.

Can it be a little innovative?

But the next moment, Pingyuan Jun's words were immediately opposed by General Lian Po: "Pingyuan Jun's words are wrong.

Qin has been defeated by our Great Zhao so many times in a row, and it is impossible for us to become a threat to our Great Zhao in a short period of time.

You should know that the capital of the Great Zhao Zhao is in the Central Plains, thousands of miles away from Guanzhong, Qin. Why did Great Zhao give up the Central Plains that are close to each other and keep staring at Guanzhong far away in the sky?”

After saying this rebuttal, Lian Po turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, the old minister believes that the most urgent task is to attack Qi State! Qi State has a weak national strength but a large population and a wealthy city, and is very close to Handan. This is the good goal that Zhao should choose."

After hearing Lian Po’s words, Zhao Kuo’s lips curled up slightly.

It seems that Zhao's next target should be Qi.
Chapter completed!
