Chapter 305: The Great Battle to Save the Plains
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Zhao Kuo was still surprised.
Zhao Kuo is actually only 10% of the ginseng income. Now Pingyuan Jun gives out 10% of the income, which directly makes Zhao Kuo's income two and a half times the previous one! Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, looked at Pingyuan Jun, and then said for a while: "Pingyuan Jun, why is this?"
Pingyuan Jun's expression was bitter and sighed: "It's all my fault that I was confused for a moment and did not obey Wu Xinjun's opinions so that I fell to the current level.
Wu Xinjun, can you help me once?"
After saying that, Pingyuan Jun bowed deeply to Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo looked at Ping Yuanjun and his face gradually became serious.
Obviously, this Zhao Guoxiangbang is really at a desperate situation.
This is the disadvantage of the ministers. Even if someone like Pingyuan Jun has been a prime minister for decades, and his disciples and old friends are all over the political ritual of Zhao State, they will still end up like this once they tear their faces with the supreme ruler! Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "I understand."
Zhao Kuo's several aides had a lot of disputes over whether to help Pingyuan Jun.
Xu Li said: "The reason why the Lord was able to serve as the leader of the Battle of Changping was entirely because of the strong support of Pingyuan Jun.
Now that Pingyuan Jun is dead, the Lord should also help him.”
Li Si said: "No.
The Lord Pingyuan has given him enough favor to the Lord over the years.
Now Pingyuan Jun offended the Empress Dowager. If the Lord also participated, it is hard to guarantee that the Empress Dowager would not be resentful.
Besides, Han Xuwei's grudges with the lord have always been well known, so how could Han Xuwei agree to reconciliation?"
Zhao Kuo looked at Han Fei with a faint smile on his face: "Han Fei, what do you think?"
Han Fei thought for a while and said, "Go back, go back to the Lord, you can save it."
Zhao Kuo laughed heartily: "Then save it."
The next day, Zhao Kuo went to Han Xuwei's Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Han Xuwei was obviously not mentally prepared for Zhao Kuo's arrival, and the surprised expression on his face was comparable to the sun rising from the west.
No matter what, everyone is a colleague after all, so the face-saving project that should be done is naturally indispensable.
Han Xu welcomed Zhao Kuo into the mansion and said, "I wonder what happened to Wu Xinjun this time?"
When talking, Han Xuwei's confidence was obviously much greater than before.
After the failure of the ginseng bet, Han Xuwei was imprisoned. The experience of the entire Han Xuwei faction can only be described in the words of miserableness. However, no one expected that the actions Pingyuanjun took would instead bring Han Xuwei back to life.
Now, Han Xu has taken the opportunity to gain a large number of spheres of influence that originally belonged to Pingyuan Jun and has won many officials from Pingyuan Jun's lineage before. Now his power is even stronger than before the ginseng bet, and it is constantly rising every day.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "I am not hiding the Grand Master. This time I come here, I will not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble.
Pingyuanjun is now willing to give in. I wonder if the Grand Master can give this step to let this matter pass?"
Han Xuwei was obviously stunned for a while before looking at Zhao Kuo with complicated eyes: "I didn't expect that Wu Xinjun was here to plead for Pingyuanjun."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Otherwise, based on your relationship, wouldn't this marquis come to chat with the Grand Master?"
Han Xuwei had almost no thoughts and said directly: "No."
Zhao Kuo looked very calm and said to Han Xuwei: "Why can't it?"
Han Xuwei also looked at Zhao Kuo calmly: "Wu Xinjun, although you and me have many grudges, no matter what, I am still very grateful to you for not killing me after the ginseng incident.
But I really can't agree to you in this matter.
Pingyuan Jun wanted to kill me before, but now I have a chance. Do you think I will let him go?"
Zhao Kuo suddenly spoke, "The Grand Master also wants to be a prime minister?"
Han Xuwei smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I will say goodbye."
After a while, Han Xuwei, who was standing outside the lobby of the mansion, watched the carriage gradually fading away, his smile disappeared bit by bit, and his eyes became cold.
"Hmph, do you want me to let Pingyuan Jun go?
It’s really a delusion! Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, can you deceive the whole world and you can deceive me?
You just know that the Queen Mother will definitely protect me, so you don’t dare to follow Pingyuan Jun to take advantage of the situation.
Now I'm here to tell Pingyuan Jun Xiang, if I really agree to you, then I'm a real big fool!"
After a moment, Han Xuwei suddenly laughed again: "But no matter what, since you have not killed me, after all, I will save you a life after becoming the Prime Minister of Zhao in the future, I will take over your life, Zhao Kuo!"
Han Xuwei's eldest son stood beside Han Xuwei and asked a question: "Father, do you think Wu Xinjun can help Pingyuanjun escape from birth?"
Han Xuwei shook his head coldly and said, "Of course not.
Even if Wu Xinjun can use his interests to convince others, such as Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, as long as he cannot convince the Empress Dowager, then everything he does this time will be useless!"
Sitting on the carriage, Zhao Kuo's expression was not frustrated or dissatisfied. He just leaned quietly on the wooden couch in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the carriage to take him to the next destination.
Wen Xinjun Lin Xiangru's mansion.
Like Han Xuwei, Lin Xiangru also received Zhao Kuo with surprise.
"I didn't expect that Wu Xinjun would come today. He is really a rare guest, a rare guest."
Compared with Han Xuwei, Lin Xiangru's expression was undoubtedly gentle and much sincere.
Although Zhao Kuo and the old man did have a lot of political conflicts of interest, in the final analysis, both of them also hope that Zhao will become stronger.
Lin Xiangru did not entertain Zhao Kuo in the lobby, but took Zhao Kuo to the study room and sent someone to drink and pastry. Then he smiled and said, "I wonder if Wu Xinjun is here this time, but what should I discuss with me?"
Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "It's such a Wen Xinjun. Pingyuan Jun has been criticized and criticized since the Han Xuwei incident, which has had a significant impact on his reputation.
If this continues, the political situation of the entire Great Zhao will become more and more shaky, which is not a good thing for both Pingyuan Jun and the entire Great Zhao.
So now the Japanese Marquis is here to be a middle-aged man, hoping to end the misunderstanding between Wen Xinjun and Pingyuan Jun as soon as possible. I wonder what Wen Xinjun thinks?"
Lin Xiangru pondered without saying a word.
Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru with a trace of expectation in his eyes.
Although Lin Xiangru and Pingyuan Jun have fought for power and profit for decades, just like the struggle between Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo is a gentleman's struggle, it is "Your way of making Zhao strong, my ability" does not involve personal grudges.
Therefore, it is not without a chance to convince Lin Xiangru.
After a long time, Lin Xiangru touched his already white beard and slowly spoke: "Wu Xinjun, before making a decision, I want to hear your conditions."
