Chapter 935 Don't be too proud of Wu Xinjun
After King Zhao finished speaking, the expressions of the people in the hall were different.
Zhao Kuo naturally breathed a sigh of relief. For him, Lian Po's stumbling block should have been moved away long ago.
As for Li Mu and Pang Nuan, who were standing aside with Zhao Kuo, these two were naturally quite happy.
However, for Zhou Shaofen, who is already standing opposite Zhao Kuo, this result is very unacceptable.
Zhou Shaofen couldn't help but say, "Master, please think twice!"
Lian Po's position as a general is really important to Zhou Shaofen's faction.
Without this position as a general, Zhou Shaofen's faction would have no way to cultivate forces in the Zhao army to fight against Zhao Kuo.
The reason why Zhou Shaofen took the risk of making King Zhao angry was that he hoped that King Zhao could think so too.
However, Zhou Shaofen's last hope was soon dashed.
King Zhao glanced at Zhou Shaofen and said coldly: "Zhou Qing, haven't my decision been finished just now?
Do you think my decision is just a brain-sharp?”
This rhetorical question was extremely sharp, which made Zhou Shaofen's forehead sweat and said, "The king misunderstood. The old minister didn't mean this, the old minister just..." King Zhao rudely interrupted Zhou Shaofen's words: "Nothing is just! Okay, today's meeting ends here!"
After saying this, King Zhao stood up and left without looking back.
Looking at King Zhao's back as he left, Zhou Shaofen was speechless and could not speak for a long time.
At this moment, Zhou Shaofen felt a little helpless! Zhao Kuo glanced at Zhou Shaofen, shook his head, stood up, and left Li Mu and Pang Nuan.
As soon as he left the hall, Li Mu couldn't help laughing: "I just saw Zhou Shaofen's look like he was losing his parents, so I was really relieved."
For Li Mu, he always mocked his political enemies without mercy.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "When he chose to be our enemy, he should think of this result."
Zhao Kuo's tone of speaking was very calm and firm.
For Zhao Kuo, any enemy is the target of being eradicated! Pang Nuan looked around and found that no one eavesdropped, so he said softly: "Jun Hou, do you think Zhou Qing will jump over the wall and attack the matter that he had worked with us before?"
Zhou Shaofen was an "undercover" in Lin Xiangru's sect for a long time. The reason why he was able to defeat Lin Xiangru in one go was Zhou Shaofen's great achievements.
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said calmly: "No, Pang Qing, you have to know that Zhou Qing is an undercover agent after all, and no one will like an undercover agent.
So, if he really exposes this matter and wants to hit us, he is the only one who will be hit."
To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhou Shaofen chose to be an undercover was not because he had a spirit of selfless dedication, but because he felt that it was more promising to follow Zhao Kuo.
The risk of undercover is indeed very high, but Zhao Kuo also gave Zhou Shaofen enough rewards.
Zhou Shaofen was just a Handan Order who could be dismissed from office at any time, but now Zhou Shaofen is the second second minister in Zhao State after Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo does not owe Zhou Shaofen anything. Whoever wants to be in Zhou Shaofen's position will make the same decision.
It can even be said that Zhao Kuo's reward has exceeded Zhou Shaofen's efforts! Therefore, unless Zhou Shaofen is a fool, it is impossible to make such a decision to hit the stone with an egg.
While talking, Zhao Kuo and the other two walked down the steps. Zhao Kuo suddenly smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood today. Let's go to my house. Let's have two drinks together!"
The three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The laughter came from afar and fell into the ears of the Zhou brothers behind the three people not far away, which made the Zhou brothers' expressions look ugly.
Zhou Shao sighed and said, "This time I really miscalculated it. I didn't expect that Wu Xinjun could really touch the king. I didn't expect that Concubine Li's role was really greater than that of the queen!"
Zhou Shaofen knew very well. On the surface, it seemed that his eloquence was suppressed by Zhao Kuo, but in fact it was because of the struggle between the forces behind the two sides that Li Fei overwhelmed the queen.
Therefore, when Zhao Kuo had the upper hand in eloquence, King Zhao couldn't wait to choose Zhao Kuo immediately! If the Queen of Zhou had the upper hand, then King Zhao could have waited and even spoke directly to help Lian Po to refuse.
This court discussion seemed to win the debate, but in fact, before it began, the result was already destined in King Zhao's heart.
After hearing this from his brother's words, Zhou Shaoliang's face changed and he said angrily: "What kind of virtue is that brothel woman? She can even suppress the queen?
Brother, don’t worry, I will let my son come to the palace to meet the queen tomorrow, and I will definitely let the brothel girl learn about our power!"
Zhou Shaofen was surprised and said quickly: "You can't do it! Do you still think the king has a bad impression of us?
I tell you, we must not touch Concubine Li now, otherwise it will only cause the king's greater anger!"
Zhou Shaofen knew very well that King Zhao’s personality was like the kind of donkey. He would be very happy to follow his words. If anyone disobeyed him, he would be furious and burst into anger several times.
Concubine Li is so popular now. Isn’t it just a way to give Concubine Li and Zhao Kuo more excuses?
After hearing this, Zhou Shaoliang was helpless and said, "Brother, according to your statement, can we just forget about this matter?"
Zhou Shaofen was silent for a while and said, "At least for now, I can only forget this, but Wu Xinjun did not win completely, and we still have a chance."
Zhou Shaoliang's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "What opportunity?"
Zhou Shao snorted and said coldly: "Although Wu Xinjun has brought Lian Po down, isn't the position of the general vacant again?
Even if he can let Li Mu take over the position of General, we can still compete for the position of Grand Sima! As long as we control the position that Lian Po has vacated, we still have three seats, and we can still continue to play with Wu Xinjun!"
When Zhou Shaoliang heard this, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Brother said so well! Although we lost for a while, the matter has not yet settled. Zhao Kuo and the others are proud now. Maybe they will be too proud after a while!"
Zhou Shaofen touched his nose and said, "Since you and my brother have chosen to be independent, then you and I have no way out. Let's meet Lian Po first, and then have a good time with Wu Xinjun in a few days!"
