Chapter 690
Another court discussion is about to be held.
Zhao State holds dozens or hundreds of court discussions every year, but never once court discussions have received such widespread attention. Even other princes in the entire Chinese world have sent many spies to Handan, intending to obtain the contents of this court discussion as soon as possible.
The reason is nothing else, just because everyone knows that this will be a collision between two kings of Zhao State, Mars, collided with Earth.
In the study, Xu Li was reporting to Zhao Kuo.
"Jun Hou, recently, a large number of rumors that are unfavorable to us suddenly appeared in Handan City.
Judging from the Nightingale's judgment, these seem to be not simply the people from Lin Xiangru's side. There may be many foreign spies and spies mixed in it."
Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Are these guys so impatient?
It’s okay, you ask Nightingale to secretly provide the news to the Handan government. It’s great to be able to catch a few spies.”
Xu Li couldn't help but say, "Who isn't we going to print the Yue Fei again like before?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head slightly and said, "If the same strategy is used twice, it will be useless.
The reason why I wanted to use Yue Fei was because I was still in the north, and now I have returned, so it’s okay.
Next, we mainly touched Lin Xiangru at the court discussion to see what Lin Xiangru could take out."
Xu Li nodded and then said softly: "There seems to be some new changes in the palace imperial guards recently. The Empress Dowager sent a group of new troops in to replace the old troops."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Don't look at the empress dowager who seems to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, she is probably very scared."
Xu Li said in confusion: "Since that's the case, why didn't the Empress Dowager come forward to calm the situation?"
Zhao Kuo sighed: "Because she is a mother, she always hopes to clear some obstacles before her son takes power.
It’s a pity... In fact, if she wants to be a Queen Mother Xuan who has always been regent, it will be a real good thing for her and the king."
The time for court discussion has come.
Zhao Kuo came to the palace in a carriage. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Pang Yan who had been waiting here for a long time.
Pang Xian said worriedly: "Wu Xinjun, this recent situation is really not optimistic."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Pang Qing doesn't have to worry, things are not out of control yet."
Upon hearing this, Pang Xian looked up and said in surprise: "Do you have any other way?"
Zhao Kuo smiled without saying a word, and said softly: "Don't worry, Pang Qing, this is not a place to speak."
Pang Qian understood it and nodded repeatedly, and the worry that had just now was completely wiped out.
Shortly after the two of them walked up the steps, several more carriages came.
Lin Xiangru walked down from the carriage, followed by Le Cheng and Zhou Shaofen.
Lin Xiangru looked at the two of them and said lightly: "Today is the day to fight with Wu Xinjun. It would be best if he could win.
If not, then I can only wait for the next time to find a chance."
Although Le Cheng always wants to show his presence on weekdays, he can only be a supporting role for Lin Xiangru today. This is the difference between the two's backgrounds.
Le Cheng couldn't help but say, "Wen Xinjun's words are a bit lacking in self-confidence, right?
If you ask me, we should kill Zhao Kuo directly, so that he has no chance of turning over!"
This sentence made Zhou Shaofen, who was standing beside him, jumped slightly.
Lin Xiangru smiled and said, "I hope so too, but Wu Xinjun is our old opponent. How could it be so easy to defeat him in one fell swoop?
OK, let's go."
Le Cheng and Zhou Shaofen surrounded Lin Xiangru and also climbed the palace steps.
After the three, two more carriages stopped.
Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun walked down from the carriage respectively.
Pingyang Jun asked, "Brother, the Empress Dowager suddenly convened this court meeting. She was afraid that the world would not be in chaos! Now, what should we do?"
Compared to what I thought a few days ago, Pingyuan Jun now has obviously many wrinkles on his face. He sighed after hearing this: "What else can I do?
Take one step at a time and try to reconcile it.”
Pingyang Jun said: "What if there is really no way to reconcile?"
Pingyuan Jun was speechless and said after a moment: "Then we can only choose to stand on the side. Of course we have to stand on the side of the winner, right?
But we must be careful, after all, if someone is really out, the remaining person will inevitably become our opponent."
As he said that, Pingyuan Jun also sighed: "The three-legged tripod has only been in a few years. I didn't expect that I would return to the stage where the two factions are incompatible so soon."
Pingyang Jun echoed: "Yes, yes, but brother, don't worry, we can still get along with each other this time. Maybe we are the ultimate winners."
Although he echoed Pingyuan Jun, Pingyang Jun had other thoughts in his heart.
"It seems that my brother is really old.
If it were a few years ago, my brother must have thought of taking the opportunity to sweep Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo out of the political arena of the Great Zhao, leaving only my brother to take over the power.
But what about now?
Now my brother is just trying to be a good person and reconcile the conflict between Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo. It's ridiculous! Brother, brother, haven't you discovered it yet?
You are actually no longer suitable for taking the key position of Da Zhao Xiangbang.
Since you can't do it, then...let me do it!"
When he thought of this, a smile flashed across the corner of Pingyang Jun's mouth.
But it’s not just that you have arrangements, but I… can’t I have a little help?
At the end of this game, it may not be who will win or lose! After a moment, everyone came to the hall and sat down.
Then, the Empress Dowager showed up with King Zhao.
Everyone stood up and saluted: "I have met the Queen Mother and the King."
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, but King Zhao did not dare to neglect and bowed to the ministers.
The king and his ministers each settle down.
The Queen Mother coughed lightly and started the topic.
"You guys, I believe you know why the court discussion was held this time.
Recently, there have been many quarrels in Handan City, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky. There seem to be a lot of messy people recently.
When Da Zhao was very weak, this kind of thing never happened. Later, Da Zhao became very strong, but this kind of thing still didn't happen, but it happened now.
The old woman thought this was not good. If this trend continued, what would Da Zhao become?
So today I want to tell you that if there is anything we can solve, we will not let people outside suspicion day by day. Do you understand?"
Everyone responded in unison when they heard this, and they knew in their hearts that the Queen Mother really wanted a result.
Chapter completed!
