Chapter 1004 The response of the Zhou family was within Zhao Kuo's expectations (Ninth)

As the real master of the Zhou family, Zhou Shaofen suddenly realized the destructive power of this incident on the Zhou family.

If it is normal, whether it is Zhou Shaofen to impeach Zhao Kuo or Zhao Kuo to impeach Zhou Shaofen, this is a normal battle between two people in politics. King Zhao will also deal with related matters according to principles.

What principles?

It is to let Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen maintain a situation of fighting without breaking.

Simply put, once Zhao Kuo or Zhou Shaofen, one of the two sides is stronger, then King Zhao will help the other side so that the situation can stabilize.

But the problem is that King Zhao's help does not mean that it must be done.

The premise for King Zhao's help is that both of them are fighting normally. If any of these two people violates the interests of the State of Zhao and King Zhao, then King Zhao will definitely take action to deal with it.

For example, it is like the incident of Queen Zhou before. Originally, in that incident, the Zhou family was obviously weaker, but because Queen Zhou did too much, King Zhao was furious and still dismissed Queen Zhou and successfully brought Queen Li from Zhao Kuo to the throne.

Now that this second son of the Zhou family does such a thing, it is very likely that he will become the second Queen of Zhou and will completely lose his points in King Zhao's heart.

Originally, the Zhou family had been keeping their low profile under the order of Zhou Shaofen for a while, in order to quietly watch the war between Li Mu, the betrayer and Zhao Kuo, but they never expected that Mr. Zhou Tuesday would make such a mess at this time, revealing a flaw to Zhao Kuo.

With Zhao Kuo's maturity and ruthlessness, you don't have to think that you will definitely make a big fuss about this matter. But this matter is not because Zhao Kuo was deliberately trying to deal with Zhou, but because Zhou's violation of the law.

Isn’t this delivering food to Zhao Kuo?

After hearing Zhou Shaofen's words, Zhou Shaoliang was also panicked and hurriedly said, "Brother, this matter should not be so serious, right?

Besides, we can also tell the king that it was Zhao Kuo who deliberately framed us."

Zhou Shaofen looked at Zhou Shaoliang with an idiot's eyes and said, "As long as you send someone to Pingkangfang to investigate what you do, you can get tangible evidence. How can you ask us to excuse him? As long as you are not a fool, Zhao Kuo will definitely not be able to bribe these hundreds of families to accuse your son together. Do you understand?

The most important thing is that Pingkangfang was originally the king. After discussing with us, we were preparing to implement the reform experiment in Zhao Kuo. Your son was just doing it randomly in this reform experiment, and maybe he would destroy the reform situation. Do you think he is seeking death?”

Zhou Shaofen was really angry, very angry.

If Mr. Zhou Tue was smarter and found a place to make trouble, Zhou Shaofen would feel that it didn't matter.

To put it bluntly, which family in this world has several playboys?

This kind of thing has long been commonplace for everyone, and even the king can understand it.

However, you playboys can of course do something extraordinary without being pursued by the king, provided that these things cannot block the king's interests.

But now the reform of Pingkangfang undoubtedly involves the interests of King Zhao, and it is even likely that it is the core interests of King Zhao.

Why do you say so?

Because the taxes paid by Pingkangfang at this time have exceeded those in the East City, they have begun to chase the West City with great strides.

In other words, Pingkangfang has now become a great source of wealth in Handan City, and Handan City, as the capital of Zhao State, itself is the city with the largest tax payments in Zhao State.

In other words, if anyone is making trouble in Pingkangfang, then this person is digging for King Zhao's wealth and building King Zhao's small treasury.

Considering that this guy is just an illegitimate child, King Zhao's anger can be imagined.

An illegitimate son is busy making trouble on King Zhao's territory, so how much respect does the illegitimate son's father have to respect King Zhao?

If King Zhao really reminds me of this, then I would be in great danger not to mention the second son of the Zhou family, even Zhou Shaoliang himself would be in great danger.

After hearing Zhou Shaofen's analysis, Zhou Shaoliang became dumbfounded.

Originally, he thought that Zhao Kuo had discovered it because his son accidentally revealed a flaw, but after much trouble, Zhou Shaoliang discovered that this matter might even implicate him and threw away the black hat.

Zhou Shaoliang was extremely frightened and quickly said to Zhou Shaofen: "Brother, you have to save me, otherwise, we will be killed by Zhao Kuo this time."

Zhou Shaofen glared at Zhou Shaoliang fiercely. To be honest, he was speechless about this stupid brother, but Zhou Shaofen had no other way. After all, he was his only brother, and he was his closest and trustworthy political ally in the political arena of Zhao State.

Zhou Shaofen took a deep breath, organized the language, and said slowly: "Since Zhao Kuo has been caught, he will definitely not let it go. So, you will immediately submit a memorial to impeach Zhao Kuo tomorrow."

"I will impeach Zhao Kuo in the memorial?"

After hearing this, Zhou Shaoliang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to his senses: "Does the brother mean that we should take the initiative?"

Zhou Shaofen nodded and said slowly: "That's right.

This matter has been obtained, and this first step is definitely not kind. Therefore, we must first let the king know that this matter was actually carefully planned by Zhao Kuo, who wanted to take this opportunity to attack the power of our Zhou family.

We must make the king's thinking bias towards this as a political struggle, rather than saying that our Zhou family is quietly destroying the king's position, otherwise we will definitely lose."

Zhou Shaoliang nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing with Zhou Shaofen's idea, but soon Zhou Shaoliang remembered his son again, so he couldn't help but say, "If this is the case, then how should my child solve it?"

Zhou Shaofen was immediately asked by this question. It has to be said that this young master Zhou Tuesday is indeed very difficult. Since Zhao Kuo has handed over Mr. Zhou to Han Danli, even if Zhou Shaofen can force the Handan Order, the Handan Order takes into account Zhao Kuo's order, he may not hand over Mr. Zhou.

He and Mr. Zhou Er are spoiled by themselves. He will definitely not be able to withstand those interrogations. He will inevitably explain everything.

If things really develop to that point, there will be no hope in everything.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhou Shaofen to take this matter to heart whether an illegitimate child is dead or alive. However, if this matter is used by Zhao Kuo as a breakthrough for the Zhou family, then Zhou Shaofen will certainly not allow such a thing to happen.

So Zhou Shaofen also made a decision immediately: "I will send someone to the Handan Government Office soon. Don't worry about the others. You must keep your son under your control. You can't let the Handan Government Office take out any news from his mouth.

As for the next thing, let him stay in the prison for a few days first. We must defeat Zhao Kuo in the court discussion before he can get him out of prison."

As the Supreme Justice of Zhao State today, Zhou Shaofen is of course very clear about the entire trial process. Therefore, the most important thing for him at this time is that he cannot let others control the confession of Prince Zhou Tuesday. As long as Prince Zhou Tuesday does not have a confession, the Zhou family can be said to be Zhao Kuo forcing others to accuse Prince Zhou Tuesday, and there is still room for maneuver.

Zhou Shaofen couldn't think of so many things about what happened next, so he could only say that he continued to deal with the moves.

The Zhou family's response can be said to be quite quick, but Zhao Kuo's nightingale was not a good meal. Zhao Kuo's response was already known to Zhao Kuo as soon as he started.

"It seems that the Zhou brothers still know how crucial things are."

After hearing the actions of the Zhou brothers, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but nodded in praise.

For Zhao Kuo, if he and the Zhou brothers were in different places, this would be what Zhao Kuo could do.

The difference between Zhao Kuo and the Zhou brothers is that Zhao Kuo will never let his children become like Mr. Zhou.

Because Zhao Kuo and the Zhou family have different ideas.

For Zhao Kuo, all the people of Zhao in the world are the people that Zhao Kuo will rule in the future. As a king, how could Zhao Kuo impose heavy taxes on his people and oppress them?

But it is different for the Zhou family. The Zhou family thinks that these people are the people of King Zhao, so what does it have to do with our Zhou family?

So of course, we must find a way to find some oil and water from these people so that our Zhou family can gain more benefits.

This is the difference between the thinking of rulers and the thinking of ministers, which is why there have been so many corrupt officials in all dynasties. To put it bluntly, these guys did not regard this country as "my own country" at all, but just regarded this country as "the king's country."

Since it is someone else's thing, how can you feel distressed when you pick it up?

Su Li stood in front of Zhao Kuo and said to Zhao Kuo: "Master, since the Zhou family has already made a move, should we do some actions too?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "There is really no need for this.

You go back and have a good sleep, and I'll talk about it tomorrow."

For Zhao Kuo, he actually deliberately left the Zhou family with such a night of reaction, just to observe what the Zhou family wanted to do.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles, I have been tired of saying this sentence.

Now, after discovering that the Zhou family's response was not beyond Zhao Kuo's expectations, Zhao Kuo felt that it was time to move on to the next step.

The next day, Zhao Kuoshen got up refreshedly, washed up under Yiquwei's service, and then boarded the carriage.

"Go to the palace, I want to ask for the king."

Yes, in this matter, of course, the one who can play a role in the end is King Zhao, so Zhao Kuo will not bother to find King Zhao. Just go directly to find King Zhao.

King Zhao has been having a lot of fun and singing every night recently, so Zhao Kuo waited in the side hall for more than half an hour before meeting King Zhao who had just gotten up.

Looking at King Zhao's increasingly obvious dark circles, Zhao Kuo also muttered in his heart.

This King Zhao was barely restrained during the war to destroy South Korea. Now that South Korea has completely destroyed it, the King Zhao has lost something to worry about, so it is even more unscrupulous to play.

What made Zhao Kuo even speechless was that King Zhao would just play with it, but he also had another hobby, which was that he liked to kill people randomly.

Of course, he didn't mean to kill some ministers, but just to kill some eunuchs, palace maids, etc.

But eunuchs and palace maids are also human beings. No matter what you do, you can’t kill one in just a few days, right?

Therefore, Zhao Kuo also gave various memorials every time, suggesting that King Zhao should not kill more people. I have to say that this is of some use. At least King Zhao did not kill people so frequently during this period.

As for the real solution to this matter, we can only talk about it after King Zhao ascended the throne.

King Zhao was obviously not energetic, so he yawned and said, "Wu Xinjun, you came here early in the morning. Is there anything important?"

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo subconsciously glanced at the sky outside the hall.

Well, it’s already noon, and the “early morning” in King Zhao’s mouth is very spiritual.

Zhao Kuo coughed and said, "It's such a king. I came to the palace today to tell the king about what I saw in Pingkangfang yesterday."

When King Zhao heard this, he became a little interested: "Oh, is it the Pingkangfang, which has now paid more taxes than Dongshi?

Wu Xinjun, you really have an idea to turn a place like that into a wallet for someone.”

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "But to be honest with the king, I found out yesterday that some people were quietly trying to control the entire Pingkangfang and secretly controlled the wealth that originally belonged to the king in their hands."

When King Zhao heard this, he was furious and slapped the table: "Is that bastard so lawless? Is it that dare to move my golden bag?"

King Zhao likes enjoyment very much, and if you want to enjoy it, you have to spend money. This is no exception for even a monarch.

Therefore, King Zhao has always been more sensitive to money. When someone was stealing money, it was naturally a direct attack on the spot.

What Zhao Kuo wanted was this effect, and he immediately took the whole thing to the King Zhao truthfully.
