The next morning, the main hall of the Zhao Kingdom Palace.

The throne that belonged to King Zhao was empty. The eunuch ordered the eunuch to stand in front of the throne with a decree in his hand and read it out in a stern manner.

"I have thought about it recently and feel that the killing of the King of Qi is a real mistake.

For this, I apologize to all the people in Qi and solemnly apologize to the people of the world.

In order to better reflect on the mistakes, I will temporarily stay in seclusion in the harem for a while.

During this period, I entrusted Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, Shangqing Pang Nuan, General Li Mu, and Grand Sima Xu Li to form the State Governance Committee. All the major national affairs were discussed and decided before reporting to me for approval.

In order to better let Wu Xinjun help govern the country, I decided to give Wu Xinjun the title of the Grand Marshal of the World. All the troops in Zhao State were controlled by Wu Xinjun.

I hope that all the ministers can help Wu Xinjun to do his best to govern Zhao State in the coming days, so that Zhao State can be more brilliant, so I will feel at ease!"

After listening to King Zhao's words, the entire hall was quiet, and everyone's faces were very complicated.

Nominally, Xiangbang is actually a civil servant sequence and cannot interfere in military affairs.

But now, when Zhao Kuo obtained the position of the Grand Marshal of the World and the power to control all the troops of Zhao State, all the government affairs and military power in Zhao State were concentrated in Zhao Kuo's hands.

Now, Zhao Kuo became the uncrowned king of Zhao in the true sense.

Zhao Kuo sat at the closest position to the throne, stood up and saluted respectfully at the will of the eunuch.

"I thank you for your kindness."

Although everyone knows what's going on, they also need to do what they should do, which is the so-called "procedural justice".

The eunuch ordered the eunuch to hand over the decree to Zhao Kuo. After pausing for a moment, he took out another thing.

In the hands of the eunuchs, a small jade seal shone brightly.

This jade seal was made by the Heshi Bi, which Lin Xiangru and King Yingji of Qin, fought wits and courage, and successfully brought back from Qin to "return the jade to Zhao".

The imperial seal symbolizes the supreme power of Zhao State! The eunuchs ordered the imperial seal to respectfully hand over the imperial seal to Zhao Kuo.

As the most trusted confidant of King Zhao, the imperial seal is usually managed by eunuchs, so it is not surprising that it can be handed intact to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo took the imperial seal and turned around, staring at all the ministers of Zhao in front of him.

At this moment, all the ministers of Zhao State lowered their heads at the same time, not daring to look at Zhao Kuo's eyes.

At this moment, everyone bowed down in front of Zhao Kuo! Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said calmly: "The king suddenly felt resigned. Although I was a little frightened, I had to force myself to take office after all, under the entrusted king.

From now on, I hope you can work together with me and let our Da Zhao reach a higher level!"

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, many ministers from Zhao Kuo's sect who had already been mentally prepared suddenly raised their arms and shouted.

"Wu Xinjun is right!"

"Wu Xinjun is mighty!"

In the hall, cheers sounded! Zhao Kuo looked at this scene and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

However, he was also very clear that although the whole thing seemed to have been settled, there were still many details that needed further processing by Zhao Kuo to be considered truly reassuring.

Zhao Kuo glanced at the eunuch Ling and signaled the eunuch Ling to continue.

So, the eunuch order came up with a new decree and continued to read it.

"The two brothers Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang have always been bewitching the king and trying to lead the State of Zhao into the abyss of division. They are really a sinner of the country! Therefore, from today, all positions of the Zhou brothers will be removed and convicted by Yousi.

Since the Zhou brothers were eliminated, the positions of important officials also need to be re-planned. The special announcement is as follows: Pang Nuan serves as Siko, Guo Zong serves as the inner historian, Han Fei serves as the lieutenant, Su Li serves as the Grand Historian, Li Mu, and Xu Li are still the general, and the Grand Sima remains unchanged.

As for the adjustments of other officials, there is another decree to announce, and everyone just needs to wait for the decree to do so."

Since you have won, then the next thing you have to do is of course rewarding merits.

Zhao Kuo was not polite and directly placed all his confidants in the position of important officials.

In this way, all the important officials were Zhao Kuo's people, and Zhao's political arena was as stable as Mount Tai.

Now, even if the situation in the core area of ​​Handan has been completely controlled by Zhao Kuo, what Zhao Kuo needs to do next is to control the local situation.

Therefore, when the court debate was disbanded this time, Zhao Kuo immediately distributed the decree to the local counties and counties of various Zhao states in the name of King Zhao, clarifying Zhao Kuo's leadership over Zhao state.

During this process, some officials inevitably felt dissatisfied, so Zhao Kuo also issued another order to the county magistrates, county magistrates and other commanders from all over the country, and directly publicly informed these people that if they dare to participate in any rebellion in the leadership, they would kill the three clans! Not only that, Zhao Kuo also had a large number of forces in the local area, many from the academy and Wu Xinjun's mansion, and some officials who were involved in Zhao Kuo's sect had already built a dense network in the local area. Now it is time to use this network to take over power.

Although he did not give any hints to his subordinates at the local level, Zhao Kuo believed that as long as these subordinates heard the news, they would definitely do a good job.

If there are really some guys who can't suppress the situation, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Zhao Kuo has many people under him and some people are not qualified, so just replace them with qualified people.

Zhao Kuo is no longer the Zhao Kuo who was just starting out in Changping, and now Zhao Kuo is full of talents and has responded to all the calls! After doing these things, Zhao Kuo issued another secret order.

This command is for the Nightingale.

"The Nightingale system in Qin and Chu must be fully operated. Once you find any rash actions in these two countries, you will immediately repay it!"

For Zhao Kuo, the situation in Zhao is basically not very problematic. Even if a small number of officials launch a rebellion, Zhao Kuo can handle them steadily.

But if these officials collude with Qin and Chu to take the opportunity to attack Zhao, the situation will be different.

Zhao State is now in a transition period of alternating power, which is actually the most dangerous stage.

As long as you spend it safely, Zhao Kuo will have a complete and powerful Zhao State in his hand.

If something goes wrong, then in the worst case, Zhao may even become divided in Zhao Kuo's hands! Therefore, Zhao Kuo must be vigilant against Qin and Chu.

So, what was the reaction between Qin and Chu?

The capital of Qin State, Xianyang.

In the palace, King Ying Zichu of Qin first received the news that Zhao Kuo was killed and laughed happily on the spot.

"Very good, very good! I have known for a long time that Zhao Kuo will definitely not live long, hahahahaha!"

Not only Ying Zichu was in a good mood, but many Qin ministers, including Fan Sui, also smiled happily.

Fan Sui couldn't help but smile and said, "For a long time, what Daqin wanted to do the most but could not do, but unexpectedly, it was done by the people of Zhao themselves.

This time, King Zhao has destroyed the Great Wall. King, the revival of our Great Qin is expected!”

As the prime minister of Qin, Fan Sui proposed "family and close attacks", which laid the foundation for Qin to become the most powerful country in the world during the reign of King Zhao of Qin. Of course, he could see the role of Zhao Kuo in Zhao's role in Zhao.

On the other hand, Lu Buwei and Mao Sui, who were unaware of this, changed their faces and almost couldn't control their emotions.

At this moment, Lu Buwei's heart was extremely collapsed.

What the hell, Wu Xinjun is actually dead?

This... I've been undercover in Qin for so many years. After finally Wu Xinjun has destroyed four countries and is about to attack Qin.

At this time, did you actually say that Wu Xinjun is dead?

As soon as Zhao Kuo died, Lu Buwei's identity suddenly became extremely embarrassing.

If you want to continue to serve Zhao State, but Lu Buwei is Zhao Kuo's man, and Zhao Kuo was killed by King Zhao. How could King Zhao believe Lu Buwei?

Just serve the Qin State without doing anything, but Lu Buwei has a lot of handles in Zhao Kuo's hands. If the King of Zhao unexpectedly gets the handle of Lu Buwei and reveals it when he wiped out the remaining forces of Zhao Kuo, Lu Buwei will be finished in minutes.

So, at this moment, Lu Buwei really wanted to curse himself.

Not to mention Mao Sui, he was extremely loyal to Zhao Kuo and was one of Zhao Kuo's core confidants in the true sense.

The moment he heard the news, Mao Sui almost subconsciously wanted to commit suicide and followed Zhao Kuo, the lord.

However, Mao Sui was still a little rational. He decided to wait until the dynasty dispersed and immediately use the contact information between the Nightingale of Qin and Handan to figure out what happened before making a decision.

At this moment, another 800-mile-rush news arrived.

"Your Majesty, the news you just got from Handan.

Zhao Kuo was resurrected from the dead, and King Zhao announced that he would no longer handle government affairs, and appointed Zhao Kuo as the Grand Marshal of the World, and handed over all the power to Zhao Kuo!"

After hearing the news, Ying Zichu became dumbfounded.

Not only Ying Zichu, but also in the entire Qin Dynasty palace hall, there was a silence for a moment.

For example, after several seconds, Ying Zichu shouted in disbelief.

"How is this possible? Such a thing is simply impossible. How could Zhao Kuo be resurrected from the dead?"

Faced with Ying Zichu's roar, everyone in the entire hall seemed particularly quiet because they could not understand the truth.

After hearing the news, Lu Buwei was surprised and happy.

For Lu Buwei, this is definitely the best news.

Zhao Kuo was not dead and also controlled the supreme power of Zhao, which shows that Zhao Kuo won the entire political struggle with King Zhao.

Under such circumstances, Zhao State will inevitably accept the rule of Zhao Kuo in the future, and Lu Buwei, as the highest-level spy who served Zhao Kuo, will inevitably gain a lofty position after returning to Zhao State in the future, and may even become the prime minister of Zhao State.

Now a beautiful tomorrow is back, and Lu Buwei feels that this tomorrow is more promising than before.

As for Mao Sui on the other side, he smiled directly and almost laughed out loud on the spot.

Fortunately, Mao Sui finally knew what kind of place it was now, so in just a few seconds, Mao Sui immediately controlled his expression and did not let others see the flaws.

At this time, the monarch and ministers of Qin were shocked, and everyone's thoughts were very erratic, so no one noticed the incompetence of Mao Sui and Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei moved at the moment and slapped his thigh at Ying Zichu and said, "I understand that it must be King Zhao who wanted to attack Zhao Kuo, but he was controlled by Zhao Kuo after a short time.

So Zhao Kuo did not do anything and simply put himself in house arrest, and Zhao State's supreme power was taken into his hands."
