Chapter 410 Ben Hou needs a defeat
Wu Xinjun’s mansion, study room.
Zhou Shaofen came here again with a secret secret, met with Zhao Kuo, and told Zhao Kuo what had happened before.
Zhao Kuo's expression gradually became solemn and a little emotional as he listened to these words.
Who would have thought that the chess piece that was accidentally buried a few years ago has now played such a big role.
Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and said, "I understand, thank you Zhou Qing for coming to report the news."
Zhou Shaofen said: "Whatever you say is your own people.
Junhou, in this situation, you should prepare early.”
Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if Zhou Qing can teach me?"
Sometimes Zhao Kuo is actually a little puzzled. Zhou Shaofen has already joined Liuqing, but why does he still choose to stand on his side?
Did he bet on both ends, or did he really keep repaying his kindness?
Zhou Shaofen said seriously: "Honor, since the Empress Dowager and Wen Xinjun have made up their minds and want to reject your proposal next year's court discussion, you might as well not mention it. Just let them have a year, let Wu Xiangjun Lian Po lead his troops to fight a battle first."
Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment and said, "Zhou Qing, I know that you are good at it, but this is not possible."
Zhou Shaofen was stunned, obviously puzzled: "Why do you think it's not possible?"
Zhao Kuo knocked on the table and said slowly: "Do you know what is my marquis' biggest advantage now?"
Zhou Shaofen said without hesitation: "The greatest advantage of Junhou is of course the invincible military achievements he has been seeking and his continuous victory."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "That's right, because of this, even if the Empress Dowager is afraid of this marquis, she will not dare to really take the life of this marquis.
But although military merit is the greatest advantage of this marquis, it is also the greatest hidden worry of this marquis.”
Zhou Shaofen was silent.
As one of the important officials of Zhao State, Zhou Shaofen could certainly understand Zhao Kuo's words.
The result of winning all the time is that all Zhao Kuo's opponents have to temporarily lie dormant and wait.
Once Zhao Kuo loses one day, these Zhao Kuo's opponents will jump out in an instant and burst out with the greatest strength.
The more Zhao Kuo wins, the deeper the hidden power these opponents will be, and the more amazing it will be when it erupts.
Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Since Wen Xinjun wants to be the leader who opposes this marquis, then this marquis must find a way to test his power first and not let him hide his power forever."
Zhou Shaofen asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zhao Kuo laughed: "So, this marquis intends to lose to Wen Xinjun once in the court discussion to see how much power he can have to help Wu Xiangjun win the next war."
When all Lin Xiangru's power was exposed to help Lian Po, Lin Xiangru's threat to Zhao Kuo would decrease a lot.
The enemy placed on the open is not scary, what is scary is the unknown enemy hiding in the dark.
Sometimes, winning is not necessarily winning, losing is also winning.
This is called - retreating as advance! Zhou Shaofen suddenly realized and bowed: "You are the wise man, Zhou admires you!"
Zhou Shaofen left quickly.
After a while, Xu Li appeared in front of Zhao Kuo: "Zhou Qing has been sent away."
Zhao Kuo nodded and said lightly: "Let the people around Zhou Qing pay attention to it and see if Zhou Qing secretly leaked any information to Wen Xinjun Lin Xiangru and Wu Xiangjun Lian Po during this period."
Xu Li was shocked: "Does Zhou Qing betray us?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "This is not, just to be in case.
Uncle Xu, we have developed to this point and we cannot be careless at any time."
Although Zhou Shaofen's warning seems reasonable, what if it is a trap set by the Empress Dowager and Lin Xiangru?
The higher you stand, the more you need to walk on thin ice.
Pingyuan Jun Mansion.
As the prime minister of Zhao, Pingyuan Jun is undoubtedly very busy.
When he was fine, this Junhou’s favorite thing was to drink with his half-brother Pingyang Jun Zhao Sheng, and chat with him and discuss the recent national affairs of Zhao State.
Although it was already summer, the pavilion of Pingyuanjun's mansion was still breeze. The two husbands sat opposite each other, enjoying the iced wine and looking comfortable.
Pingyuan Jun smiled and said, "I finally got rid of this old thing Han Xuwei, which is also a wish for my brother."
Pingyang Jun nodded and said, "Twenty years ago, Han Xuwei wanted to be the second Li Dui who controlled the government and underestimated Brother Wang. Fortunately, you are the elder brother, so he did not let his plan succeed.
Now that he has completely eliminated him, he is worthy of Brother Wang who is under the stakes."
Pingyuan Jun smiled and said, "If Brother Wang knows that, I would be relieved to see that you and my two younger brothers have developed Da Zhao to this point and eliminate Han Xuwei, the old thief."
Pingyang Jun was silent for a moment and suddenly spoke: "Actually, my brother Yu felt that although Han Xuwei died, not no one wanted to be the second Li Dui."
Pingyuan Jun frowned and said, "What does this mean?"
Pingyang Jun said seriously: "Don't you think that Wu Xinjun's power has developed too fast in the past few years?"
The air suddenly became quiet, and a few cicadas cries came from afar, quite harsh.
After a while, Pingyuan Jun said, "Do you think Wu Xinjun will become the second Li Dui?"
Pingyang Jun said: "Wu Xinjun is young, but he already has power no less than you and me.
If you, Lin Xiangru and others all die of old age and the king is too young, who else can control Wu Xinjun in the Great Zhao Dynasty?"
Pingyuan Jun's face became a little solemn. After a while, he said, "How come you and I can have another ten to twenty years of life, right?
By that time, new ministers had already appeared in Da Zhao and the king had grown up, so this was not a problem."
Pingyang Jun sighed and said, "Who can tell this kind of thing accurately?
Think about the former king, he was the nephew of the two of us, but he left under thirty years old.
Who can tell the lifespan is accurate?
You and I are both blood relatives of the royal family, so it is natural to be loyal to the royal family.
Although Wu Xinjun is also a member of the Zhao family, he is a side branch. No one can say how loyal he can be."
Pingyuan Jun was silent again, and after a long time, he said: "Your words make sense, but Wu Xinjun is our ally after all. If he annoyed him and directly joined forces with Lin Xiangru, then we would shoot ourselves in the foot."
Pingyang Jun smiled and said, "Isn't this simple yet?
Although the Empress Dowager killed Han Xuwei, Han Xuwei was the empress dowager's most trusted confidant after all, and the empress dowager will inevitably regret it after a while.
Women will not blame themselves but will only vent their anger on others, so the empress dowager will inevitably take this responsibility to Wu Xinjun.
So we just need to be neutral when the Empress Dowager attacks Wu Xinjun, and Wu Xinjun will naturally be suppressed.
If he could suppress Wu Xinjun a few more times, it would be difficult for him to turn over. He could only obediently obey the orders of our brothers again."
For a long time, Pingyang Jun actually complained about Zhao Kuo's own establishment.
In the eyes of this Junhou, Zhao Kuo was just a descendant of a branch of the Zhao royal family. He had already had the distant relatives of the five squads. The brothers Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun were the younger brothers of King Huiwen of Zhao, who were more noble than Zhao Kuo. I don’t know where to go.
A side branch like Zhao Kuo should obey the orders of the royal family with pure bloodlines such as Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun! Pingyuan Jun shook his head and said, "Wu Xinjun is arrogant, so it is probably impossible for him to bow his head and obey orders again.
But you are right. Wu Xinjun's popularity has indeed become too popular recently. Almost all the good positions Han Xuwei's after his death were snatched away by his subordinates... In this way, we should not conflict with him head-on, just wait until the court discusses next year and don't support him.
Without our support, he would definitely not be able to defeat the Queen Mother.”
Pingyang Jun smiled and said, "Brother, this is a great kind word!"
