When Zhou Shaofen heard this, he was shocked and said several seconds later: "Empress Dowager, my minister... Wu Xinjun is a pillar of the country."

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Of course, the old woman knows that Wu Xinjun is a pillar of the country, but you should also think about how dangerous it would be if no one in the court could control Wu Xinjun in the future?

Zhou Qing, the old woman thinks you are enough to take on this important task.”

Zhou Shaofen took a deep breath, cleaned up the thoughts in his heart that were as stormy as waves, and saluted the queen mother in front of him seriously: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to be loyal to the queen mother and the king!"

Looking at Zhou Shaofen who was respectful in front of him, the Empress Dowager gradually smiled.

Due to Qiu'er's pregnancy, Zhao Kuo was very sad during the evenings! As we all know, men have limits. After they pass the limit, the originally happy things began to slowly turn into torture.

But Zhao Kuo is a noble person, a good man who loves his unparalleled wife, and a man who stands tall and upright, so he bravely stood up and silently endured all this in every dark night! On this night, when Zhao Kuo and Tian Wan were ready to do their daily work again, Xu Li's voice suddenly rang outside the door.

"Your Majesty, there is a distinguished guest here!"

Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh and showed an apologetic smile at Tian Wan: "Well, Wan'er, you go to bed first, handle the matter for your husband, and come back later."

Tian Wan blinked her beautiful eyes and exhaled like orchids and said softly in Zhao Kuo's ear: "Husband, no matter how late it is, Wan'er will wait for you!"

For some reason, after hearing this sweet and greasy sentence, Zhao Kuo's legs suddenly became soft and almost fell when he stood up.

A moment later, Zhao Kuo met Zhou Shaofen in the study.

"Zhou Qing, drink a cup of sour plum soup to relieve the heat."

Zhao Kuo personally brought Zhou Shaofen a bowl of iced sour plum soup, and then asked: "Zhou Qing came to visit late at night, could something happen?"

Zhou Shaofen nodded and showed a strange smile: "It's such a lord. Today I will go to the palace by orders, and then the empress dowager will tell me..." Zhou Shaofen did this and told Zhao Kuo everything that happened in the hall to Zhao Kuo without any concealment.

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but feel amused.

This empress dowager is really interesting. She actually uses my people to deal with me?

Not to mention that Zhao Kuo did not let Zhou Shaofen express his position but let him "lurk" in Lin Xiangru's camp, which really played a very important role.

Zhao Kuo held Zhou Shaofen's hand and said sincerely: "Zhou Qing, thank you this time!"

Zhou Shao laughed and said, "Jun Hou is so serious. Zhou had already made up his mind to follow Jun Hou when he met Jun Hou. How could Zhou have today without Jun Hou?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said seriously: "As long as my Zhao family does not fall, my friendship with Zhou family will never end in the future!"

As Zhou Shaofen's identity, he naturally could not stay in Zhao Kuo's mansion for a long time, and he left after a while.

Zhao Kuo sat in the study and fell into thought.

If it weren't for Zhou Shaofen's report, Zhao Kuo would not be sure that the Empress Dowager really had the idea of ​​dealing with him, and might suffer a great loss in the future.

After a moment, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shake his head: "It's really a good husband, a good wife."

King Wei of Zhao has always wanted to deal with Zhao Kuo. Now that King Wei of Zhao is dead, his widow, Empress Dowager Han Ji, still stares at Zhao Kuo tightly.

In fact, Zhao Kuo also knew that this was because he was too outstanding and too radiant, so he was afraid that Zhao Kuo would be shocked by his high achievements.

But if Zhao Kuo did not stand up, won one victory after another, and worked hard to unify China, who could do this?

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and decided to keep this in mind for the time being and acted at the opportunity in the future.

Seizing power is a must, but now is obviously not the best time.

We must wait until Zhao Kuo's power can truly control the entire Zhao State political arena... I don't know how long it took, but a knock on the door woke Zhao Kuo up from his thoughts.

The door was opened, and Tian Wan walked in with a bowl of hot ginseng soup: "Husband, it's so late, it's time to rest."

Looking at his wife with affectionate eyebrows and eyes, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt nervous.

This ginseng soup... is not good for the people! The days just pass by day.

Several important officials of the State of Zhao who were on mission also returned one after another. Due to the failure of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po this time, the momentum of the scholars not only did not increase as much as the Empress Dowager Han Ji hoped, but was continued to be suppressed by Zhao Kuo and Pingyuan Jun.

The Empress Dowager may have also learned a lesson, and did not take other actions in a hurry. In addition, the summer is about to pass and the autumn harvest is approaching, and a rare period of peace has emerged in both the political arena of Zhao and other vassal states.

Many news is constantly spread to Zhao Kuo's desk through the official channels of Zhao State and the Nightingale channel.

Ying Zichu, the prince of Qin who had worked as a hostage in Handan and used to be named Ying Yiren, was finally officially crowned the crown prince by the King of Qin and became the heir to the next King of Qin.

Lu Buwei was awarded the title of doctor and appointed the tutor of the crown prince by the King of Qin, who was responsible for teaching the crown prince Ying Zichu.

The King of Yan, who had just succeeded to the throne, was ambitious and made people secretly contact Guo Zong, hoping to get more smuggled weapons.

Zhao Kuo also issued an instruction on this: "Rise the price by 30%, and then provide it with them with all your strength!"

Zhao Kuo knew why Yan State asked to buy weapons, which was a self-protection act by Yan State after rejecting the Zhao State alliance.

Not only that, since Ying Zichu was already the crown prince, Lu Buwei, as the person Ying Zichu trusted the most, finally began to contact some confidential matters of Qin, such as the King of Yan had secretly sent an envoy to Xianyang and was secretly discussing with Qin that the two countries would form an alliance to fight against Zhao.

But Zhao Kuo was not worried about this, because Yan State... was really weak.

In history, Zhao State was first annihilated by more than 400,000 soldiers by the Qin army in the Battle of Changping, and then besieged by the Qin army to Handan for a year. The entire Zhao State suffered heavy losses in its vitality, and then it was invaded by Yan State.

What's the result?

As a result, Lian Po brought 80,000 defeated soldiers and generals who had been pieced together by Zhao, defeating Yan State with a total of 200,000 troops! Zhao State, who lost the Battle of Changping in history, could defeat Yan State. Now, Zhao State, the world's largest country, is naturally even more troublesome to defeat Yan State.

Not only abroad, but also something very important to Zhao Kuo happens at home.
