The next day, the Zhao State Prime Minister was in charge of the official position.

Looking at the many respectful officials of the Xiangbang government in front of him, Zhao Kuo, who was sitting in the main seat, seemed calm, but he still felt a little excited in his heart.

Finally, I sat in this position! Zhao Kuo said slowly: "From today, Xu Li will be the chief secretary of the prime minister, Li Si will be the chief secretary of the inspector, Guo Zong will be the chief secretary of the Central Government, and Han Fei will be the chief counselor.

Do you know that all the officials are controlled by these four people?”

As the saying goes, one person has attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Now that Zhao Kuo has already served as the prime minister, he naturally has to appoint his own confidants and firmly control the entire prime minister's government.

Faced with Zhao Kuo's orders, everyone naturally respectfully accepted the order.

Since Zhao Kuo had already cultivated a complete team in Zhao's political arena, when Zhao Kuo settled in the official positions of the Xiangbang, he almost immediately controlled the situation.

In just a few days, the entire Xiangbang official has undergone a major change. According to Xu Li's words, "Although there are still some small details that need to be solved, overall, the Xiangbang official has now really belonged to the Lord, you, the Xiangbang."

This is the benefit of cultivating power in advance. Otherwise, after Zhao Kuo became this prime minister, he would have to spend some more effort to continue to intrigue with the subordinates of Pingyang Jun.

Zhao Kuo is very busy, busy unifying the world as soon as possible, and has no intention of wasting time in such a place that has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Although Pingyang Jun's ability is mediocre, he has been influenced by Pingyuan Jun for at least decades, and he was considered to be careless when dealing with government affairs. Therefore, after Zhao Kuo took over, Zhao State had a relatively stable oversight, and there was no chaos at the moment.

On this day, just as Zhao Kuo was handling political affairs in the Xiangbang official office, an envoy from the palace suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Kuo.

"Mr. Wu Xinjun, the king has urgent matters to summon him. Please enter the palace immediately."

So Zhao Kuo naturally entered the palace in a carriage, which was the first court discussion after Zhao Kuo took office as the prime minister.

Not only Zhao Kuo, but also several other important officials were present.

Seeing this posture, everyone immediately knew that what they were discussing today must be a very important matter.

A moment later, King Zhao appeared.

Judging from his expression, King Zhao was in a pretty good mood today.

After the rituals between the king and his subjects were finished, King Zhao immediately raised the topic.

"Everyone knows that just a few days ago, Wu Xinjun had been promoted to the prime minister.

Then in this way, the general's official position will be vacant and a new candidate is needed. I wonder what suggestions do you have for this?"

Everyone present thought to himself, "So that's it."

Indeed, after Zhao Kuo was promoted to the prime minister, the biggest suspense in Zhao's political arena was who would the position of this general fall into.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Kuo's expression was quite calm, and he seemed to have no urge to speak.

This surprised the king and ministers of Zhao, including King Zhao. In their opinion, since Zhao Kuo had already appeared in the prime minister, he should have taken a very strong attack at the first meeting of the prime minister.

Zhao Kuo didn't speak, so Zhou Shaofen, as the de facto No. 2 figure in Zhao's political arena, would speak out without hesitation.

"The king, the old minister believes that the Grand Sima Lianpo has made many contributions to our Zhao State, and is now the best candidate to serve as the general."

Zhou Shaofen nominated Lian Po without any hesitation.

Zhao Kuo was very calm in his heart, and he was not surprised by Zhou Shaofen's nomination at all.

After Zhao Kuo was appointed as the prime minister, Lian Po must find someone to form an alliance, otherwise Zhao Kuo would definitely kill Lian Po.

Judging from the current situation in Zhao State's political arena, only Zhou Shaofen is able to form an alliance with Lian Po.

Lian Po's appointment as a general is a good thing for both Lian Po and Zhou Shaofen.

As soon as Zhou Shaofen spoke, his younger brother Zhou Shaoliang immediately expressed his approval.

Zhao Kuo's ally Pang Nuan's eyes fell on Zhao Kuo, wanting to wait for Zhao Kuo's response.

In Pang Nuan's opinion, the position of the general is very important. I believe Zhao Kuo would not have given up this position so easily.

King Zhao's eyes also fell on Zhao Kuo, and King Zhao also wanted to know how Zhao Kuo would oppose Zhou Shaofen and Lian Po.

Zhao Kuo coughed calmly and said slowly: "Sima Lianpo is a relatively capable person. I have no objection to let him serve as the general."

After Zhao Kuo said this, the people present were stunned.

Especially Lian Po, he looked at Zhao Kuo in disbelief.

There is no need to say much about the grudge between Lian Po and Zhao Kuo. Unexpectedly, on such a critical occasion, this guy did not object to Lian Po at all and directly agreed.

Zhao Kuo's consent made Zhou Shaofen's heart begin to doubt. Could it be that Zhao Kuo had actually secretly colluded with Lian Po?

But no matter what, since Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen did not object, then the matter was settled.

King Zhao calmed down and coughed and said, "Very good, everyone agrees, so let's be promoted to general with Lian Po."

Lian Po stood up excitedly, saluted respectfully to King Zhao, and said loudly: "Old minister thanks the king for his kindness. He will definitely do his best to the king and Zhao State in the future, and die after death."

This is not the first time Lian Po has obtained the position of this general, but Lian Po is still very excited at this moment.

This symbolizes Lian Po's return to the top again.

King Zhao nodded. Since he didn't see the excitement, he couldn't help but feel a little indifferent. So he spoke again: "Now the problem is here, and the position of the general is also there, so who should I take over as the position of the Grand Sima?"

As soon as King Zhao finished speaking, Zhao Kuo spoke immediately.

"The king, the old minister believes that General Li Mu has outstanding military achievements and is also very loyal to our Zhao State. He should be the most suitable candidate for the Grand Sima."

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Zhou Shaofen was stunned.

At this moment, Zhou Shaofen suddenly understood.

It turned out that from beginning to end, Zhao Kuo did not think about competing for the position of this general, but set his goal at the Grand Sima, who was second only to the General.

As long as this Grand Sima was controlled by Zhao Kuo's loyal subordinate Li Mu, Zhao Kuo could maintain Zhao's previous influence in the army through Li Mu.
