Facing King Zhao's question, Pingyang Jun did not have any surprise expression on his face. It seemed that he had known that King Zhao would be likely to ask such a question.

Young people like King Zhao don’t like to be cunning in adults when speaking and doing things, but prefer to ask questions that are straightforward and face-to-face.

Pingyang Jun sighed and said to King Zhao: "Your Majesty, I don't want to do this, but the current situation is that Zhao State must have someone who can balance Zhao Kuo in the military. No matter how you look at this person, Lian Po, is the best choice.

So I still have to pay some price to win over Zhou Qing.”

Lian Po has connections and has been in Zhao State for decades. Although he has naturally lost a lot of connections because of his removal from office in recent years, at least his popularity is still there.

As long as Lian Po is given some time, Pingyang Jun still believes that Lian Po will definitely rise again.

More importantly, the grudge between Lian Po and Zhao Kuo has long been well known, and there is no need to worry that Lian Po will run to cooperate with Zhao Kuo.

Therefore, this appointment can be said to be flawless and invincible in Pingyangjun's opinion.

Otherwise, Pingyang Jun would not have paid such a huge price for this appointment.

After listening to Pingyang Jun's words quietly, King Zhao said, "But have you forgotten Pingyang Jun?

Lian Po had suffered so many defeats before, which was indeed a huge loss for Da Zhao.

I have read the information and descriptions of the war these days. Sometimes I think that if Lian Po had not ruined so many soldiers of the Great Zhao, maybe Da Zhao could have really destroyed Wei or Yan now."

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are definitely not a number that can be ignored by Zhao State.

In history, Zhao State was slaughtered after being directly slaughtered by Bai Qi, and now there is no strength to confront Qin State.

If Zhao Kuo had not been victorious on this timeline and constantly weakening the strength of other countries, Zhao would have long lost the position of the world's number one overlord.

Of course, King Zhao didn't know what happened in history, but for this young King Zhao, he naturally liked those who could bring victory to Zhao State more than those like Lian Po who would only bring failure and losses to Zhao State.

When Pingyang Jun heard this, he hurriedly said, "Master, that's not what he said.

Although Lian Po did bring a lot of losses to Da Zhao in the past few years, in those years earlier, Lian Po also conquered a lot of land for Da Zhao and won a lot of victory, right?

Therefore, the old minister believes that there is actually no need to beat Lian Po to death with one stick, but should give Lian Po another chance.

Moreover, if the king does not believe Lian Po, he can completely prevent Lian Po from leading his troops.

Just Lian Po needs to be the Grand Marshal and continue to restrain Zhao Kuo."

King Zhao was stunned when he heard this.

After a while, King Zhao couldn't help laughing and said to Pingyangjun: "Pingyangjun, Pingyangjun, your idea is really a genius."

Pingyang Jun’s words indeed reminded King Zhao.

Anyway, what the King of Zhao now needs is just someone who can slightly restrain Zhao Kuo, so as not to let all the troops in Zhao Kuo be controlled by Zhao Kuo.

In order to fight, Zhao Kuo must be allowed to rest assured King Zhao.

Since Lian Po could not control military power, the black spots that Lian Po had lost troops to Zhao State before were no longer a problem.

After understanding this, King Zhao smiled and said to Pingyangjun: "Since Mr. Pingyang has made such a big concession, I believe Zhou Qing has actually agreed to your conditions, right?" Pingyangjun bowed and said: "The king is indeed wise. The old minister's little thoughts cannot escape the wise eyes of the king."

King Zhao laughed loudly. Although he knew that Pingyang Jun's words were flattering, as the saying goes, "I don't wear anything but flatter you." The words of King Zhao still made King Zhao feel very satisfied.

So King Zhao waved his hand and said to Pingyangjun: "Okay, since that's the case, then we will hold a new court discussion tomorrow to discuss this matter."

Although it was not stated clearly, King Zhao's attitude was actually very obvious - he also felt that Pingyang Jun's proposal was acceptable.

After receiving such guarantee from King Zhao, King Pingyang naturally left the palace with satisfaction.

King Zhao couldn't help but feel amused when he looked at the figure of Pingyang Jun leaving.

Although he had just obtained the highest power for a few days, King Zhao found that he seemed to be a little addicted to such an identity.

I have to say that the feeling of controlling the highest power and everyone revolving around themselves is really great.

At this moment, the figure of the eunuch Ling suddenly appeared.

The expression on the eunuch's face was not very good, and he whispered to King Zhao: "Master.

The Queen Mother hasn’t eaten anything for two days.”

After hearing this, King Zhao's face suddenly became gloomy.

He said coldly: "Hasn't you already sent someone to persuade me?"

Can't those guys persuade their mother?"

Although the seizure of power is due to the seizure of power, he is his biological mother after all, and King Zhao is still very concerned about the Empress Dowager.

After the empress dowager went on a hunger strike yesterday, King Zhao immediately asked the eunuch to take some of the people who had been dowrying to persuade the empress dowager, hoping that the empress dowager could change his attitude.

The eunuch Ling shook his head and said helplessly: "Those people are actually working very hard, but if the empress dowager is unwilling, I really have no choice but to force the empress dowager to have a meal, right?"

The Queen Mother’s identity is here. Even though she is under house arrest, who dares to touch a finger of the Queen Mother?

When King Zhao heard this, he had nothing to say.

After a while, King Zhao said, "Forget it, since that's the case, then I'll go and see my mother now."

A moment later, King Zhao appeared in the Empress Dowager's palace.

The King of Zhao actually came here often in this palace before, but this time the palace gave the King of Zhao a feeling of being extremely deserted, which made him feel very uncomfortable and frowned.

The Empress Dowager lay quietly on the bed alone, facing her back to the door of the hall, and didn't know whether she fell asleep or what was going on.

King Zhao stopped and said very gentlely: "Mother, I am here."

The Empress Dowager's body trembled slightly, but she did not speak.

King Zhao asked: "Why don't my mother eat?

Could it be that the rice cooked by those chefs is not delicious?

If this is the case, I will immediately have someone change a new batch of chefs."

After King Zhao said this, the Empress Dowager still did not react at all, which made King Zhao feel a little angry. For a young man like King Zhao, especially the young man who had just taken control of the power, he did not like this feeling of being rejected by others continuously, even if the person who rejected him was his biological mother.

Just as King Zhao began to think about whether to get angry, the Empress Dowager suddenly sighed quietly and said, "King, when are you going to execute the old woman?"
