After the Queen Mother's appointment, everyone's faces were quite complicated.

Pingyuan Jun felt a strong sense of frustration because he felt that this time he was actually quite sure, and it was a good opportunity to expel Lin Xiangru and his faction from the military in one fell swoop.

It’s a pity that it failed! When Pingyuan Jun thought of this, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

If I had known this, it would have been better to listen to Wu Xinjun and not compete for the position of Grand Sima.

Coincidentally, less than a quarter of an hour after the appointment of the Empress Dowager, Le Cheng hurried into the hall and received the position of Grand Sima in front of everyone.

The time is so short that it is like Le Cheng has been waiting for the appointment of the Empress Dowager in the palace.

Lin Xiangru looked at this scene and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

Zhao Kuo's face became calmer.

A moment later, Le Cheng, who had just taken office as a new official, walked out of the hall and suddenly stopped.

Zhao Kuo stood at the door of the hall and looked at Le Cheng lightly: "General Le Cheng, don't you think you need an explanation to this marquis?"

Le Cheng looked at Zhao Kuo, and his heart was also very upset.

He felt guilty.

But immediately, a voice came from the hall: "Mr. Wu Xinjun, General Le Cheng has now become the Grand Marshal, and is not much lower than you. Why are you so aggressive?"

Lin Xiangru walked out of the hall, and the words just now came from Lin Xiangru's mouth.

Zhao Kuo said coldly: "The most important thing in life is to keep your word and do things fairly.

General Le Cheng, do you think it is fair to do this?"

Le Cheng became more and more ashamed, but at this moment, Le Cheng knew that there was no way out, so he gritted his teeth and said directly: "Wu Xinjun, you and I were just a cooperative relationship before, not your retainer.

Now that I want to end this kind of cooperative relationship, is it okay?

What's more, this is the appointment of the Queen Mother. Do you think I can refuse the appointment of the Queen Mother?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "It's very good.

It seems that you are determined to go against this Hou?"

Zhao Kuo's eyes were sharp. Le Cheng was obviously a veteran who had been through the battlefield for a long time, but at this moment he lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Zhao Kuo! Lin Xiangru snorted heavily and said, "Wu Xinjun, no matter how hard you struggle, it is useless.

Appointing General Le Cheng as the Grand Sima is the Queen Mother’s meaning. Do you still want to go against the Queen Mother?”

Zhao Kuo laughed.

Although Zhao Kuo's smile was as gentle as the spring breeze, everyone knew that a volcano was erupting in Wu Xinjun's heart.

Zhao Kuo spoke slowly and spoke sentence by sentence.

“Very good, very good.”

"I have always been fair. I will treat others as much as I treat others."

"Since you have done this time, then when you are retribution next time, don't blame me for using some methods like you!"

After saying this, Zhao Kuo left with a slightest sleeve.

Looking at Zhao Kuo's leaving figure, Le Cheng's face turned pale.

He is a person who has truly seen Zhao Kuo's methods on the battlefield and has personally experienced Zhao Kuo's power.

Le Cheng looked at Lin Xiangru with a helping call: "Wen Xinjun, what should we do now?"

Lin Xiangru actually felt a little upset in his heart.

Wu Xinjun's words are always verified to be true! But on the surface, Lin Xiangru's face remained unchanged, and even showed a smile: "It's okay.

Wu Xinjun was just angry and embarrassed. The Empress Dowager didn't trust him at all. Could he still let the Empress Dowager take back his life?

Even if you are at ease, be your Grand Marshal and be at ease for us. No, it’s right to do things for the Queen Mother!”

Zhao Kuo returned to his mansion and summoned several confidants.

Li Si shouted loudly: "Master, this Le Cheng is simply too slutty. You must teach him a lesson. Otherwise, if someone imitates it next, that would be great?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and asked, "What are your ideas?"

Lis was stunned.

To put it bluntly, Li Si is actually a retainer and has not experienced the intrigues in the political arena in a real sense. It is very difficult for him to come up with an idea for Le Cheng, Lin Xiangru and others to look good.

Beside Li Si, Han Fei was thinking, looked at everyone, and planned to speak.

Suddenly, a report came from outside: "Master, someone outside the door calls himself Pang Nuan, and wants to see him!"

"Pang Nuan?"

This name surprised everyone.

Zhao Kuo was also slightly shocked and then laughed: "It's interesting.

This marquis wanted to send someone to find him, but he didn't expect that he came to him first.

You can avoid it in the secret room and see what he wants to say to me."

A moment later, a middle-aged man who was about fifty years old, with a beard and bright eyes walked in and saluted Zhao Kuo: "Scholar Pang Nuan has met Wu Xinjun."

Zhao Kuo was also stunned when he looked at Pang Nuan.

Is Pang Nuan so old?

But thinking about it, Pang Nuan is the childhood friend of Ju Xin, the minister of Yan State. Ju Xin is all an old man, and there seems to be nothing wrong with Pang Nuan's age.

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "Mr. Pang Nuan's name has also been heard by this marquis.

I don’t know what happened when I suddenly visited?”

With a thud, Pang Nuan knelt down directly.

"Pang Nuan is willing to join Wu Xinjun's mansion as a minister, and ask Wu Xinjun to take in!"

Zhao Kuo was stunned again.

This is the second time that Pang Nuan has brought surprise to Zhao Kuo.

But immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Kuo's mouth and gradually expanded.

"Why did Mr. Pang Nuan join this marquis?"

Pang Nuan raised his head and said sincerely: "Pang Nuan originally thought that Pingyuan Jun, as the prime minister of Zhao, was enough to give Pang Nuan a chance to show his skills, but it turned out not to do so.

Looking at Zhao State, only Wu Xinjun can confront Wen Xinjun Lin Xiangru, Grand Sima Lecheng and others, so Pang Nuante comes to join him just to breathe in his heart!”

Pang Nuan’s meaning is very obvious, that is, Le Cheng robbed his official position and was dissatisfied! Zhao Kuo said calmly: “Then why didn’t you come to this marquis’ mansion before?”

Pang Nuan said: "It's just because there are too many talents in Junhou's mansion, including Li Mu, Xu Li, Li Si, and Han Fei in Wu. Pang Nuan is not sure if he competes with these people.

Besides, the teacher and Pingyuan Jun have a deep friendship, and the letter of recommendation was written by the teacher to Pingyuan Jun, so I went to Pingyuan Jun first."

At this point, Pang Nuan's intentions have become very obvious.

He originally wanted to rely on his master Feng Guanzi's recommendation letter to reach the sky directly from Pingyuan Jun, but failed.

So in order to avenge Lecheng, Pang Nuan immediately came to Zhao Kuo's side again, wanting to be Zhao Kuo's retainer.

Sure enough, he is one of the most famous strategists in the late Warring States Period. It is realistic and decisive enough! Zhao Kuo lived a thought in his mind and said lightly: "It is certainly possible to want this marquis to accept you as an ordinary servant.

But... why do you let me avenge you?"

Pang Nuan had obviously thought of the answer long ago and immediately spoke: "As long as Junhou is willing to help me once, then I can let a big family in Yan Kingdom serve Junhou secretly!"
