Chapter 603 Mother, do you want to support Wu Xinjun?

Hearing Le Cheng's words, Pingyuan Jun couldn't help but feel excited: "Who to deal with first?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Le Cheng's mouth and spit out a name that surprised Pingyuan Jun: "Of course it is the high priest of the Academy - Xunzi!"

"Xunzi?"

Pingyuan Jun was stunned. He originally thought that Le Cheng would say the name of a military minister or general, but he did not expect that he was the Academy Priest Xunzi, who had no connection with the army at all.

"It's Xunzi!"

Le Cheng said coldly: "The old man Xunzi is very bad! Xunzi has always used his position as a sacrificial wine in the academy to promote and cultivate scholars who are loyal to Zhao Kuo.

Nowadays, as many as hundreds of scholars from the academy to various places as officials every year, will they go to the entire Zhao political arena be controlled by these loyal people?

Therefore, if you want to get rid of Zhao Kuo, Xuncun must first take action to kill him!"

After listening to Le Cheng's analysis, Ping Yuan Jun pondered for a while and said, "I will say that Le Qing, I think the matter is not that serious."

Pingyuan Jun is the prime minister of the Zhao State, and he still has a good understanding of the "graduates" of the academy every year.

To put it bluntly, everyone is here to be an official. Although dreams at school are of course very important, how many people can still stick to their dreams after leaving school and being beaten by society?

So although there are many graduates in the academy every year, there are actually not many graduates who truly become Zhao Kuo's power. Pingyuan Jun, Lin Xiangru and others also use their positions and power to influence and assimilate many graduates, and there is no such situation as Le Cheng said.

However, after saying this, Pingyuan Jun smiled and said, "But if Leqing wants to attack Xunzi's great priest, I will agree."

As long as it is something that can weaken Zhao Kuo, Pingyuan Jun is willing to support it.

Le Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this and smiled and said, "You are indeed wise!"

The next day, Le Cheng personally submitted a memorial, which pointed out that the high priest of the school was in charge of the academy for many years, but because of his incompetence, the academy did not make much results. Especially since he was close to Zhao Kuo, he violated the principle that the academy should be neutral in academic work and should abolish Xun's position.

The Empress Dowager looked at the memorial and thoughtfully asked the eunuch around him: "Is there any news about Wu Xinjun recently?"

The eunuch Ling said respectfully: "It has been more than a month since I returned to the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother nodded and said lightly: "Since that's the case, then you can make a noise and discuss this matter three days later when the court discusses next time."

Next to the Empress Dowager, the young King Zhao said in confusion: "Since the Empress has decided to dismiss Xuncun, why should we release the wind?"

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly and looked at the young King Zhao.

Since the last time the Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao was taught a lesson by the empress dowager, the young King Zhao has become much more honest.

The lessons have been taught, and education still needs to be continued.

The Empress Dowager said: "In fact, the old woman has not decided whether to abolish Xunqiu."

"ah?"

King Zhao was stunned, and after a few seconds, he couldn't help saying, "But hasn't the queen agreed to discuss this matter next time?"

The queen mother restrained her smile and said lightly: "It's just a discussion."

Wang'er, you have to remember one thing: As a king, you shouldn't be guessed by your ministers too easily, do you understand?

The court proposal will be held three days later. If Wu Xinjun still had no news at that time, the old woman would not mind removing Xunqiu directly and destroying one of his arms.

But if news of Wu Xinjun's victory comes, the situation will be different again."

King Zhao was confused and said, "Is the Queen Mother trying to support Wu Xinjun?

Didn’t my mother just send Wu Xinjun to the border just before?”

The Empress Dowager looked at the young King Zhao, and her eyes showed obvious disappointment, and her tone became much heavier: "Silly! As a king, the most important thing is to take advantage of the situation. Do you understand?

Zhao Kuo had the help of Pingyuan Jun before. At that time, he was very strong, so strong that the old woman had to be afraid of him and tried every means to weaken him.

But what about now?

Zhao Kuo has already gone to the north and cannot interfere in the political situation in Handan at all.

Pingyuan Jun also betrayed him and even joined forces with Lin Xiangru, Le Cheng and others to deal with him.

Zhao Kuo is the weak now! As a monarch, what you have to do in the future is to suppress the strong and support the weak, so that the two can maintain a balance, so that you can stand above the throne and get along well with all the best and firmly control the supreme power in your own hands. Do you understand?"

The young King Zhao was convinced and said, "The mother is wise and the son cannot match it."

The queen mother laughed: "No, Wang'er.

You must be better than your mother, so that you can lead Zhao State further in the future and firmly control a minister like Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo! Well, it’s not too late, you should go back and have a good rest."

After the young King Zhao left, the Empress Dowager looked at the memorial in her hand and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, her pretty face moved slightly and showed a smile.

"Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, your progress over the years is indeed seen by the old woman, but... you are not the only one who is improving."

The Empress Dowager raised her head and said to the eunuch beside her: "Send the order. If there is a war report from Wu Xinjun from the Huns, you will immediately deliver it to the old woman as quickly as possible!"

News that Xunzi was about to be dismissed soon spread.

As Zhao Kuo's only important ally, Pang Qian naturally summoned Xunqiu, the party involved, Li Si and Han Fei, and began to discuss it.

Pang Xian was worried and said, "Before Wu Xinjun left, he reminded me to give in to me and fight against big things.

I didn't expect that since Le Cheng was so forced to each other, he even wanted Pingyuan Jun to join him, what should I do about it?"

Although Pang Qian, as a major sect, was also an important official of Zhao State, he could not save the overall situation even if he was alone and had no power.

Xunzi himself couldn't help but sigh and said, "If this is the case, I will just not do this high priest."

Although Xunzi is a world-renowned scholar and literary leader, he actually has no talent in becoming an official and is helpless in the current situation.

Pang Qi turned his attention to Li Si and Han Fei and asked, "Do you two have any plans, or do Wu Xinjun still have other tricks?"

Li Si and Han Fei looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.

Li Si said: "There is only one gift. After all, you are not an omnipotent and omniscient person."

Pang Qian said helplessly: "What should I do now?

Not to mention that Wu Xinjun has been in the desert for a long time and has not returned. Even if he is still in Datong, three days will not be enough for the messenger to go back and forth."

The room fell into silence, and Xunzi's face looked even more sad.

Is it over like that?

At this moment, Li Si suddenly spoke.
