Chapter 939 Arrangements for the Candidates of the Great Sima
Sure enough, Concubine Li was moved the next moment.
Concubine Li stared at Zhao Kuo, with no charm or temptation in her eyes, only extreme seriousness.
"Wu Xinjun, are you sure your actions will be successful?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head: "Not sure."
Concubine Li said: "Are you talking about the position of the Grand Sima or the position of the Queen?"
Zhao Kuo said: "Not sure."
Concubine Li suddenly laughed: "Not sure, then what else are you talking to me?"
Zhao Kuo said: "It is because of uncertainty that two uncertain things can be exchanged."
Concubine Li was silent.
This logic sounds a bit confusing, but it seems to be self-justified.
Concubine Li said: "What if the person I have helped you get the position of Grand Sima?"
Zhao Kuo said: "The old minister will do his best to help Concubine Li help the position of queen narrow down the uncertainty of narrowing the position."
Concubine Li said: "How do you do your best?"
Zhao Kuo said: "Then the old minister will be confident to tell Concubine Li after the position of Grand Sima is taken down."
The palace fell into silence again.
Concubine Li said slowly: "Mr. Wu Xinjun, I have met many businessmen in this palace. When it comes to bargaining skills, they are all small things compared to you."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "What Lao Chen likes to hear the most is the words of praise from others. Thank you Concubine Li."
Concubine Li snorted and said, "You go back, I will naturally think of a solution!"
This is what I agree.
Zhao Kuo stood up with a smile, saluted to Concubine Li calmly, and then left calmly.
Concubine Li stared at Zhao Kuo's figure and only snorted softly after Zhao Kuo left.
"Men, there is really no good thing!"
After thinking about it, Concubine Li said to the personal maid who had just returned to her: "Vier, when the king comes today, I will light the incense for me."
The maid Weier was surprised and said softly: "Those fragrant things were used only once a few days ago. If you use them multiple times within half a month, it may hurt the king's body."
Concubine Li interrupted Weier impatiently: "I will use it if I ask you to use it!"
Weier had no choice but to respond.
Concubine Li then turned anger into joy and said, "Okay, let the people below boil water. I am ready to take a bath. Today's water will add more petals!"
As a former brothel courtesan, Concubine Li naturally has some means to make men obsessed with it without realizing it. Otherwise, how could she allow men to invest a lot of resources in her?
Now, in order to allow King Zhao to bet on the most important resource for Concubine Li, Concubine Li naturally needs to prepare well! As for King Zhao's body... Humph, it would be better to completely destroy the useless things.
By then, when Concubine Li becomes the queen mother, she will have as many men as she wants! By the way, Wu Xinjun was a famous general who won every battle. I don’t know if he has such a mighty power on his bed?
Speaking of which, Wu Xinjun has more of a mature man's stability and handsome style than King Zhao... As he thought about it, Concubine Li's eyes suddenly became a little confused.
Zhao Kuo took a carriage and returned to his mansion all the way, and then summoned his confidants.
"There is basically no problem with Concubine Li. Next, we just need to wait for the king to convene the next court meeting, and then recommend our people openly."
When Zhao Kuo said this, he seemed very confident.
This is not just because Zhao Kuo's judgment on the entire situation, but also from historical records.
According to historical books, the King of Zhao did depose the queen and let Concubine Li take office in history, so Concubine Li was called "Empress Zhao Chang" by the historian.
The word "放" in this era means exactly the same as "prostitution" in later generations.
Zhao Kuo was also a little curious. There was no time traveler in history. So Concubine Li was able to accomplish this "feat" of the abolished queen by herself. She was indeed an amazing figure.
You know, she is just a brothel woman who has no support in the officialdom of Zhao State! From this point of view, maybe Concubine Li’s ability is stronger than Zhao Kuo imagined.
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, several confidants were also quite happy.
Every point of Zhao Kuo's power is stronger, it means that Zhao Kuo's faction is further away from controlling the entire Zhao State.
Li Mu couldn't help but say, "So, who will Jun Hou arrange to be the Grand Sima?"
The general asked Li Mu to compete, there was no doubt about this.
Who should I be the Grand Sima?
It's a suspense.
Zhao Kuo had obviously thought of the answer long ago and looked at Xu Li with a smile: "This time, Uncle Xu will be the Grand Sima."
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, everyone was slightly surprised, but then they felt relieved.
Judging from the identities of these confidants around Zhao Kuo, Xu Li is indeed the most capable person except Zhao Kuo and Li Mu.
Moreover, not long ago, Xu Li, as one of the chief generals of the Zhao army in the three routes, fought a great battle with the troops of Kuangliang, the State of Qi, but did not allow the Qi army to break through the defense line and effectively assisted Zhao Kuo's offensive.
Before, Zhao Kuo refused to let Xu Li be the Grand Marshal, mainly because Zhao Kuo had just served as the prime minister at that time, and many things had to be controlled and handled by Xu Li.
But now that Zhao Kuo has been in office for a long time, the new order of the entire prime minister's government has been in an orderly manner. At this time, Xu Li can be let go of his own side.
Zhao Kuo said: "With Uncle Xu and Li Mu joining forces, even if the basic foundation of the Great Zhao army in the future is stable, I am very relieved."
Xu Li took a deep breath and bowed, "Please rest assured, the old minister will definitely live up to his mission!"
Li Mu scratched his head and couldn't help saying, "Master, otherwise I'll let Boss Xu be the general and I'll continue to be the Grand Sima."
Apart from Zhao Kuo, the one who Li Mu was most convinced was Xu Li.
Xu Li is not only an old senior in the army, but also the chief general of Chiyou's army before Li Mu. He has given many advice to Li Mu in various matters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a teacher.
Now that Li Mu found out that he suddenly became Xu Li's boss, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "No need, don't worry, Uncle Xu will not only have the position of Grand Sima in the future, but now it will be just a temporary arrangement."
For Zhao Kuo, Xu Li has been a great housekeeper for so many years, so naturally it is impossible for him to be a great sama even if he has been properly arranged.
In the future, Zhao Kuo also plans to let Xu Lilai serve as the real "Zhao State steward" - the position of Xiangbang! However, we have to wait until Zhao Kuo truly ascends the throne.
