In the final analysis, Zhou Shaofen’s opinion is actually very simple.

Dealing with Zhao Kuo first is indeed a better choice in the long run, but the problem is that the Zhou family and Zhao Kuo have been working with for so many years, and have already had countless handles in Zhao Kuo's hands.

These handles cannot be concealed. As long as the Zhou brothers get rid of Zhao Kuo, they will definitely be exposed.

After being exposed, there will be two situations. The first is that the Zhou brothers dominate the court. In the end, King Zhao punished him with three drinks of wine, and nothing happened.

The second type is that these handles of the Zhou brothers were used by political enemies, which motivated King Zhao and eventually eliminated the Zhou brothers.

It is unnecessary to think about it and know that what the Zhou brothers are pursuing must be the first situation. If I want to achieve the first situation, I must first get rid of Pingyang Jun.

Otherwise, the second situation would have basically happened to keep Pingyang Jun's life.

Although he was very unwilling to give in, after careful thinking and analysis, Zhou Shaoliang still had to agree with his brother's opinion.

So the quarrel between the Zhou brothers came to an end.

Zhao Kuo did not know about this quarrel between the Zhou brothers.

But when Zhou Shaofen came to the door quietly again, Zhao Kuo knew something else.

"Zhou Qing, is it possible that Pingyang Jun is going to take some action?"

Since Zhou Shaofen had made up his mind, he naturally would not hide anything from Zhao Kuo at this moment, and directly told Zhao Kuo everything that Mr. Pingyang said today.

Zhao Kuo's face gradually became solemn when he listened to Zhou Shaofen's words.

To be honest, Zhao Kuo himself really didn't expect this.

No wonder there is a saying that is good: those who know you best will always be your enemy.

However, Zhao Kuo soon became calm. For Zhao Kuo, since he had already seen the enemy's plan, no matter how dangerous it was, there was nothing terrible at all.

What's more, even if the plan of Mr. Pingyang is really implemented, Zhao Kuo may not necessarily have something to do.

Because Zhao Kuo had already known the character of King Zhao before, if King Zhao really asked Zhao Kuo to hand over the military power, Zhao Kuo would also choose to hand over it directly.

After all, nominally, the military power of Zhao State should always be in the hands of King Zhao. If Zhao Kuo refuses to hand over the military power, it will be like directly rebelling and causing trouble. This is obviously not in line with Zhao Kuo's plan to seize power.

Anyway, Zhao Kuo has extremely great prestige in the Zhao army, so Zhao Kuo is not worried at all whether these armies will be loyal to themselves after they seize power in the future.

Even Zhao Kuo doubted whether these troops would just put a dragon robe on Zhao Kuo like the Huangqiao Mutiny in history.

After passing these thoughts like lightning in my mind, Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Zhou Shaofen: "I really want to thank Zhou Qing this time. If it weren't for Zhou Qing's timely notification, maybe this marquis would have really been fooled by Pingyang Jun!"

No matter what, I still have to praise this scene. After all, Zhou Shaofen was able to stand here to inform Zhao Kuo, which has already expressed his position in this incident.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhou Shaofen smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun's words are so serious. You and I are allies. Since they are allies, they naturally need to help and support each other.

If Pingyang Jun can be solved this time, that is also a situation that I am very willing to see.”

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Zhou Shaofen: "Don't worry, Zhou Qing, all the plans of Pingyang Jun have been noticed by us. If we can still win by Pingyang Jun in this situation, then we will be the biggest idiot in the world."

After a while, Zhou Shao left Zhao Kuo's mansion with satisfaction.

This announcement brought great benefits to Zhou Shaofen, that is, he once again gained half of the benefits of the ginseng channel.

Although this half-compensation is only within the territory of Zhao, considering that the territory of Zhao is very vast now, this half-compensation can bring great fiscal revenue to the Zhou clan.

After Zhou Shaofen left, Xu Li walked out.

Then Xu Li said something that surprised Zhao Kuo.

"The Lord, based on the information we deserved from the Zhou family, before Zhou Shaofen came to our mansion, he and Zhou Shaoliang seemed to have had an argument."

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he widened his eyes in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Kuo soon started to laugh, and the smile on his face had a different meaning.

“Very good, very interesting.

It seems that there is indeed a force in the Zhou family that does not like Benhou.”

Zhao Kuo did not question Xu Li's words, because over the years, Zhao Kuo had already had a very comprehensive understanding of Xu Li's abilities.

If it weren't for 100% sure news, Xu Li would never have told Zhao Kuo this news.

So the question now is whether we should continue to trust the Zhou family?

Xu Li said directly: "Old minister thinks that in the next cooperation with the Zhou family, we must keep a hand."

Zhao Kuo did not agree with Xu Li's words.

After a while, Zhao Kuo said, "Let's do this, don't rush to make a decision. You can call the other people to meet and discuss this matter."

The sudden wavering of Zhou's attitude made Zhao Kuo keenly sense a faint sense of uneasiness.

But this did not make Zhao Kuo feel frustrated. For such things, they are always full of uncertainty.

Since things have changed new, what Zhao Kuo has to do is not to blame others, but to find a way to see if he can get this matter back on track again.

So soon, Zhao Kuo's several confidants gathered in the study.

Zhao Kuo asked Xu Li to tell these confidants the whole story, and then spoke: "Do you have any opinions on the current situation?

If there is anything, you can say it all."

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.

Although Zhao Kuo had already thought of a preparatory plan, just in case, he still wanted to hear what opinions his retainers, who were all talented, could put forward as a supplement.

After a brief silence, Guo Zong and Han Fei spoke at the same time.

"The lord, the minister has something to say."
