Chapter 846: King Zhao's Abnormality
For King Zhao, the days that followed were a very happy day.
But for Pingyang Army, who wanted to continue to find an opportunity to launch an attack on Zhao Kuo, things began to become strange.
"What, is the king actually sick again?"
Pingyangjun looked at Zhao Zhuang in front of him, his face looked very ugly.
Zhao Zhuang calmly said to Pingyangjun: "That's true, please go back."
Pingyang Jun thought for a while, smiled at Zhao Zhuang, and said slowly: "General Zhao, I have recommended you to the king when you were able to serve as this commander.
Now I just want to know what disease the king has. I wonder if Commander Zhao can tell me?"
Zhao Zhuang said to Pingyang Jun with a expressionless face: "Pingyang Jun, I can only tell you that the king is indeed sick.
But the specific condition is nothing to say.”
Pingyang Jun ate a soft nail, which made him feel very embarrassed. He turned around and left, quite angry.
Zhao Zhuang looked at Pingyang Jun's leaving figure, his mouth twitched slightly, and a smile appeared.
As the commander of the Imperial Guards responsible for defending King Zhao's safety, Zhao Zhuang certainly knew that King Zhao was not actually in the palace at this moment, but went to a certain romantic place to have a secret meeting with a dancer.
However, Zhao Zhuang was ordered by King Zhao, so it was naturally impossible to tell Pingyang Jun this news at this time.
However, for Zhao Zhuang, this is not a very important reason. The more important reason is of course that once King Zhao leaves, Zhao Zhuang can follow his original ideas to find the beautiful woman who is still under house arrest in the harem.
Zhao Zhuang turned around and walked towards the Empress Dowager's palace not far away.
Half an hour later, the panting empress dowager also raised questions.
"Why do you come so frequently during this period? Do you say that the king doesn't need your protection?"
The Queen Mother's words were somewhat uneasy. After all, if this relationship was exposed, it would be a typical social death.
Zhao Zhuang's eyes turned slightly and he spoke, "The king likes to work hard on state affairs during this period, so I can have some time to come. If the king has been busy with this period of time, I'm afraid I won't have so many opportunities to come."
Zhao Zhuang still did not intend to tell the Empress Dowager about this fact. After all, for Zhao Zhuang, one more person knows about this matter will be more troublesome.
The Empress Dowager was a little skeptical about this, but after all, she still couldn't go to and from the palace freely, especially when she was close to where King Zhao was, so she finally chose to believe her lover's words.
Although neither Pingyang Jun nor the Empress Dowager noticed anything abnormal, another person still found that this situation was wrong.
This person is not someone else, but the queen of Zhao, who is from the Zhou family.
The reason why Queen Zhou was able to detect the abnormality of King Zhao was because according to the previous rules, King Zhao would come to see Queen Zhou every two or three days.
Although the two of them could only talk and eat because Queen Zhou was pregnant, chatting was something that King Zhao liked to do, which made King Zhao feel more relaxed.
But this rule was suddenly changed during this period. Queen Zhou had not seen King Zhao for nearly a month.
This is undoubtedly a very vigilant thing for the Queen of Zhou.
It would be fine if King Zhao went to the palace of other concubines just, but judging from the eyeliners that Queen Zhou was spread throughout the palace, King Zhao obviously rarely visited other concubines during this period, and it can even be said that there were almost no one.
As the queen, Queen Zhou was still very powerful in the palace. Therefore, after a bribery of both soft and hard work, Queen Zhou finally got the information she wanted.
"The king will leave the palace after the afternoon every day and will not come back until the next morning?"
After hearing the news, Queen Zhou's face suddenly changed.
The first reaction of the Queen Zhou Queen was to tell the Queen Mother, but she had just left the palace and then suddenly returned.
On the second day, the Queen of Zhou's mother, Zhou Shaoliang's wife, was recruited into the palace by Queen of Zhou in the name of missing her mother.
That night, Zhou Shaofen came to Zhao Kuo's mansion and once again secretly asked to see Zhao Kuo.
"Zhou Qing, what happened this time?"
Zhao Kuo met Zhou Shaofen with a smile, and his tone was also very relaxed.
During the period when King Zhao ignored government affairs, the entire government affairs were basically controlled by several important officials.
Zhao Kuo took advantage of his number of people among several important officials, and secretly gave Pingyang Jun a lot of trouble, which had weakened Pingyang Jun's power.
For Zhao Kuo, if King Zhao could continue like this, it would definitely be a great thing.
Zhou Shaofen didn't know what Zhao Kuo was thinking. He just told Zhao Kuo what he heard from the queen, and then said worriedly: "Mr. Wu Xinjun, the king doesn't know what happened and runs out of the palace all day long. If it is known by those with ulterior motives, wouldn't it be a big trouble?"
Zhao Kuo smiled when he heard this, thinking to himself that I really hoped that something happened to King Zhao now. In that case, Zhao's political arena would be completely messed up.
However, judging from Zhao Kuo's own self-esteem, he did not despise the use of assassination to seize power.
Paper cannot cover the fire. If you use this method to seize power and expose it in the future, it will be harmful to Zhao Kuo's rule without any benefit.
People in this era still pay more attention to moral integrity. A king without moral integrity cannot be recognized by the world. Without the recognition of the world, this rule will certainly not last.
Zhao Kuo touched his chin and said slowly to Zhou Shaofen in front of him: "To be honest, Zhou Qing said, I just learned about the information about the king."
When Zhou Shaofen heard this, he felt energetic and hurriedly said, "So in this way, is it true that Wu Xinjun knows that the king has ignored government affairs and left the palace for a night in a random manner?"
Zhao Kuo sighed, deliberately showing an unspeakable expression and said, "Yes, yes, but this matter is a bit difficult to say, so I'm hesitant after I know it."
When Zhou Shaofen heard this, he became anxious and quickly said, "Mr. Wu Xinjun, you are the Dinghai Sword Needle of our Zhao Kingdom. If you ignore this matter, how could the king be lost?
Let’s talk about what’s going on behind this matter.”
Zhou Shaofen urged Zhao Kuo for a long time, and finally Zhao Kuo spoke in a gesture of being forced.
"Actually, this matter is very simple. According to my investigation report, the king should have gone to the most famous brothel in Handan City during this period... to spend the night."
Zhou Shaofen obviously didn't expect that such a result would be so he was stunned on the spot.
After almost half a minute, Zhou Shaofen came to his senses again and suddenly started to scream.
"How can the king do such a thing?
It's really too much!"
