Chapter 719: The Competition Around the Great Sima

The matters between these princes have not been detected by the intelligence spies of Zhao.

Therefore, at this time, a new struggle was carried out in Handan, Zhao State, mainly reshaping the entire ruling order.

This day.

Another court discussion was unfolded in the Handan Hall.

King Zhao sat in the hall and said to the six new and old Zhao officials in front of him: "Everyone, the position of Da Zhao has basically been almost confirmed, and the only thing left is the position of Da Sima.

If you have any candidates for this position of Grand Sima, you can speak freely."

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo's eyes flashed slightly, but he did not speak immediately.

In fact, Zhao Kuo knew very well that the position of Grand Sima was basically unlikely to be given to him.

Otherwise, Zhao Kuo's power would be completely unique among the Zhao army, and even the Zhao royal family's control over the Zhao army is likely to be inferior to Zhao Kuo himself.

As long as King Zhao is not a fool, this kind of thing should not happen.

But having said that, Zhao Kuo still wants to try it out. After all, there is no harm in failing such a thing. If it succeeds, the advantage is that it has a lot.

Just when Zhao Kuo's thoughts flashed, Pingyang Jun was the first to speak: "King, I actually have a candidate. He has led many soldiers to fight and has rich experience. He is also a relatively famous general in our country.

If he is the Grand Sima, there will definitely be no problem."

When King Zhao heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he looked at Pingyang Jun and said, "I wonder who Pingyang Jun is talking about?"

In fact, King Zhao himself thought about the candidate for the Grand Sima for a long time.

To be fair, King Zhao naturally hopes that this Grand Sima can be appointed by King Zhao's confidant.

However, because King Zhao is too young.

So he actually didn't know any ministers of Zhao State, which led to the fact that King Zhao himself had some confidants, but those confidants were all relatively low-level, and it was impossible to say that they could soar into the sky and be able to take such an important position as the Grand Sima of Zhao State.

Otherwise, King Zhao would not have been helpless to take out the position of Grand Sima after shelving it for a few days, and would have been directly appointed.

Now that he heard the words of Pingyang Jun, King Zhao still had some expectations.

Because from what Ping Yang Jun said, this person's ability should not be too bad.

Pingyang Jun smiled and said to King Zhao, "The king, the person I mentioned is actually known to the king, that is, the former general of Zhao State, and the Wuxiang Jun Lianpo, who also served as the Grand Sima."

When Pingyang Jun's words fell, everyone present was stunned.

Including Zhao Kuo, they were stunned.

Zhao Kuo never expected that after a long time, Pingyang Jun wanted to resurrect Lian Po to Zhao's political arena again?

The next moment, Zhao Kuo immediately spoke up and said, "The king and minister think this appointment is very inappropriate.

Lian Po is well known that he was Lin Xiangru's most loyal ally back then. If he was asked to re-activate it, who would know if he would still want to avenge Lin Xiangru?"

As soon as Zhao Kuo finished speaking, King Zhao's face changed immediately.

In fact, Zhao Kuo's hint is already very obvious. Everyone present is Lian Po's enemy, which means that King Zhao is actually Lian Po's enemy.

Could it be that King Zhao really wants to appoint Lian Po, who has a revenge in his heart, to be the Grand Sima?

So, King Zhao's face began to be a little confused and said, "Mr. Pingyang, please explain it."

Although King Zhao was not too satisfied with the candidate Lian Po, Pingyang Jun was King Zhao's teacher, and Pingyang Jun is now the prime minister of Zhao, so of course he still had to give Pingyang Jun face.

Pingyang Jun was naturally prepared for this and immediately spoke: "King, the meaning of me is relatively simple. Please think about it carefully. Now, besides Lian Po, is there any more suitable candidates?

Besides, Lian Po has always been loyal to Zhao. Although he did have an alliance with Lin Xiangru, Lin Xiangru did not help Lian Po at all when Lian Po was dismissed from office by the Empress Dowager before.

The relationship between the two has long been broken in recent years. Lian Po may have been Lin Xiangru's ally, but now Lian Po definitely has nothing to do with Lin Xiangru.

Now that the king has promoted Lian Po, he is too late to be grateful to the king, how could he have any emotions similar to hatred in his heart?

Wu Xinjun, you must be speaking like this because you had a deep hatred with Lian Po back then, so you don’t want Lian Po to take office again, but we just have to do the matter here, otherwise can this rule be established?

As ministers, we should be concerned about the interests of Da Zhao.”

Pingyang Jun said a lot, and for several minutes, which made everyone present fall silent for a while and began to think about what he said.

Even after hearing these words, King Zhao's attitude changed again, and he felt that - it seems that it is not impossible.

Zhao Kuo sneered and said, "Liang Po is just a defeated general, and he is so old, maybe he will die of old age. What other benefits can you do if you let Lian Po take this position now besides allowing Da Zhao to suffer more failures?

Anyway, I firmly oppose it.”

Zhao Kuo didn't actually feel much disgusted to Lian Po.

However, Lian Po's past caused Zhao's army to lose more than 300,000 yuan.

If Lian Po rises again this time and Zhao loses more than 100,000 or 200,000 more, Zhao's process of unifying the world will inevitably be delayed again.

A person's life is only a few decades. If he continues to delay this, when will he be able to unify the world?

So Zhao Kuo naturally opposed it strongly.

After saying that, Zhao Kuo said again: "King, I actually have another candidate to recommend, that is Li Mu.

Li Mu has always followed his ministers to fight south and north, and even conquered Xianyang, the capital of Qin State, and captured the King of Qin. His achievements are beyond doubt.

Li Mu is also very familiar with all aspects of the army. Letting such an expert serve as the Grand Sima is the truly suitable candidate for the Grand Zhao army."

When Mr. Pingyang heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "Mr. Wu Xinjun, your nepotism is too obvious, right?

Who doesn’t know that Li Mu is your retainer? You are actually going to let Li Mu be the Grand Sima now. Are you trying to control all the troops of the Great Zhao Kingdom in your own hands?”

This sentence is actually a heart-wrenching statement.

Pingyang Jun’s meaning is very obvious, that is, on the surface, he is accusing Zhao Kuo of wanting to control the military power, but in fact he is even quietly suggesting that Zhao Kuo may have the intention to monopolize military power or even rebel!
