Chapter 733 The Queen's Controversy
After Zhao Kuo received the order summoned by King Zhao, he naturally entered the palace as soon as possible.
Then Pingyang Jun also arrived, explaining the situation in front of Pingyang Jun and Zhao Kuo directly, and then expressed his hope to get the help of these two important officials.
Zhao Kuo felt a little amused when he heard this. Originally, Zhao Kuo thought that King Zhao summoned him and Pingyang Jun to be the cause of a conflict between the two, but he never expected that what he said now was the issue of King Zhao marrying his wife.
For Zhao Kuo, he had decided not to get involved in this matter at the beginning, so he naturally did not have much interest in the issue of King Zhao, so he just sat here quietly, waiting for Pingyang Jun to speak.
Pingyang Jun glanced at Zhao Kuo, then spoke to King Zhao and said, "My king, the old minister thinks that although these other royal women of the princes are good, our real goal of Zhao is to sweep the world and unify the six kingdoms. Under such a goal, if women from the six kingdoms become queens, it might be a very unfavorable thing for the Great Zhao to fight.
Therefore, the old minister believes that although women from the six kingdoms can be married, they must not be the candidate for the queen. The candidate for the real queen should be selected from our Da Zhao."
King Zhao thought about it and said in some agreement: "It seems that this is really the truth. So, Mr. Pingyang, what women do you think are suitable for this queen in our Da Zhao?"
Pingyang Jun smiled and said to King Zhao: "Who is this queen is of course decided by the king, but the old minister can indeed make some suggestions.
The old minister heard that the daughter of Wu was a very gentle and dignified woman who could serve others. If the king made her the queen, then this queen would definitely be very worry-free."
When King Zhao heard this, his eyes lit up and said to the eunuch Ling who was standing beside him: "Hurry, hurry up, take the portrait of the Wu woman to me and take a look!"
The portrait was quickly taken over.
When King Zhao saw this portrait, he immediately had an impression and said to Pingyang Jun: "It's such a coincidence that I also liked this woman at the beginning."
When Mr. Pingyang heard this, he was secretly happy. The reason why he strongly recommended this daughter of Wu to serve as queen was actually very simple, because Mr. Wu was the wife's wife's home.
As long as the daughter of Wu can become the queen, then Pingyang Jun can use his relationship with Wu to influence King Zhao's ideas, which is undoubtedly a way to kill two birds with one stone.
Moreover, at the beginning, Pingyang Jun had already inquired about King Zhao's hobbies and knew that King Zhao's biggest problem was actually lust. Therefore, he specially selected the most outstanding woman from the Wu family to come to participate in this talent show, and naturally he suddenly gained the attention of King Zhao.
Seeing the expression of King Zhao's elegance and as if he was about to make a decision, Zhao Kuo knew that he should take action.
The next moment, Zhao Kuo spoke calmly, "King, Weichen thinks this Wu woman still needs to think about it carefully."
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Pingyang Jun was immediately unhappy.
You should know that just now Zhao Kuo made Pingyang Jun lose a lot of face in front of the people of Handan and the entire Zhao State and the people of the world. Now Zhao Kuo has not restrained himself. He once again had a different position with Pingyang Jun in the matter of choosing the queen, which naturally made Pingyang Jun extremely angry.
Pingyang Jun said coldly to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, what do you mean?"
Zhao Kuo smiled and said calmly: "My meaning is very simple, Pingyang Jun.
Everyone knows that your wife comes from Wu.
Now that you have let Wu’s woman become the queen, wouldn’t that mean you are directly inserting your eyeliner to the king?
As a minister, think about it yourself, is your behavior correct?"
After Zhao Kuo said this, the faces of King Zhao and King Pingyang changed at the same time.
King Zhao couldn't help but glance at Pingyang Jun. Although he didn't say anything, the puzzled expression on his face was still very clear and visible.
As a person who has just grasped the highest power, what King Zhao hates the most is being controlled.
Being placed eyeliner around is undoubtedly a manifestation of being controlled.
Could it be that this Pingyang Jun is not really loyal, but is as ill-hearted as Wu Xinjun said?
Looking at King Zhao's expression, Zhao Kuo also smiled.
This is actually the result Zhao Kuo wants to see.
For Zhao Kuo, it doesn’t matter whether Pingyang Jun can get the position of queen. After all, sooner or later, this queen will be abolished by Zhao Kuo together in the future.
However, if we can take advantage of this opportunity to make a good separation between the relationship between Pingyang Jun and King Zhao, it will be the best result Zhao Kuo can want to see.
When Pingyang Jun heard this, he was furious and shouted at Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, don't just talk nonsense here. I clearly choose the best candidate for the king from the standpoint of the king! My wife is indeed from the Wu family, but it is precisely because of this that I have a deeper understanding of the woman born to Wu family. Is it a very strange thing?
As the saying goes, do not avoid the virtuous from the outside, and do not avoid relatives from the inside.
As my husband’s in-laws, can’t Wu be recommended?”
When King Pingyang said this, King Zhao was shaken again because it sounded quite reasonable to King Zhao.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Pingyangjun: "Pingyangjun, Pingyangjun, I have heard too much of what you said.
Throughout history, how many people have actually secretly wanted to develop their own power under the guise of being the best for the king?
The same is true for you, Pingyang Jun, Wu Fei!”
As he said that, Zhao Kuo bowed to King Zhao and said, "Master, my opinion is very simple.
This time I will not nominate any queen for the election, but in my opinion, if there is really a queen, then this queen should have nothing to do with me, and at the same time, she has nothing to do with Pingyang Jun.
In this way, we can ensure that the queen is truly loyal to the king. This is the most important thing. I wonder what the king thinks?"
Zhao Kuo's words immediately made King Zhao fall into trouble again.
Seeing King Zhao's entangled expression, Zhao Kuo also smiled.
Although Zhao Kuo does not intend to send someone to compete for the position of the queen this time, if the position of the queen can be taken away from Pingyang Jun, it will actually be a very favorable thing for Zhao Kuo!
