Chapter 941 Court discussion, competition for generals
With the expectations of almost everyone, this day has arrived.
In the bleak autumn wind, King Zhao summoned all the important officials of Zhao State to discuss matters and informed the content of the matter in advance - a new general will be decided! Under the palace hall, Zhao Kuo walked off the carriage, and a gust of autumn wind blew, and the fallen leaves were flying beside Zhao Kuo with the wind, and it looked like they were surrounding Zhao Kuo.
A hearty laugh came from the side: "I didn't expect that Wu Xinjun's prestige would even retreat even to the wind."
When Zhao Kuo saw it, he found that it was Pang Nuan, so he couldn't help but smile: "Pang Qing can really tell jokes. I heard that you have another grandson recently. It seems that people are in a happy mood when they are happy."
Pang Nuan laughed and said, "There must be more and more good things like grandson."
Hey, where is Li Mu's Grand Sima?"
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "It should be coming soon, wait."
The two of them waited a little under the palace steps. Before Li Mu, they waited for brothers Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang first.
The Zhou brothers walked off the carriage one after another and found Zhao Kuo and Pang Nuan standing there, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
However, after all, everyone is an adult who is in the political arena of Zhao State, so naturally he still treats politely on the surface.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Zhou Qing goes up first, let's wait for the Grand Sima here."
Zhou Shaofen then realized that Zhao Kuo was not waiting specifically for Zhou Shaofen to find Zhou Shaofen. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, brothers, I will go up first."
After Zhou Shaofen finished speaking, he pulled out his legs and left.
Zhou Shaoliang followed Zhou Shaofen's footsteps and whispered: "Brother, you have too much ambition just now to destroy your might."
Zhou Shaofen snorted and said softly: "How much money can Viagra be worth?
Every move in this palace city is under the surveillance of the king. If the king knew that you and my brother were still walking on thin ice in front of Wu Xinjun, he might have to change some ideas that would not have changed."
Zhou Shaoliang then suddenly realized and said, "Brother, he is tall, he is indeed tall!"
Just as the two brothers were talking, a palace guard quietly left from a corner in the distance, heading towards the back of the hall from another road.
King Zhao sat in the back hall, closing his eyes to rest.
The eunuchs walked into the back hall respectfully and whispered: "King, Li Mu has just arrived and is going to the hall with Wu Xinjun and Pang Qing."
King Zhao said oh and said lightly: "Have they had any disputes?"
The eunuch's eyes moved slightly, but immediately covered them up and said, "There was no dispute. The Zhou brothers were a little surprised when they first saw Wu Xinjun, but Wu Xinjun said that they were waiting for the Grand Sima, so the Zhou brothers went directly to the palace."
King Zhao nodded slightly when he heard this, with a satisfied expression in his eyes: "Brothers of Zhou are still a general person after all.
Wu Xinjun is not bad either. After so many years of struggle, he became the Xiangbang and knew that he had restrained himself."
For King Zhao, of course, he knew very well that if he wanted to control power, the ministers below could not be a solid piece of iron, but King Zhao did not like the feeling of two ministers fighting to the death, such as Pingyuan Jun and Lin Xiangru before.
What King Zhao hopes to see is a more moderate struggle, the kind of "gentlemen's struggle". Everyone can have differences on state affairs, but they still need to cooperate well when it is time to cooperate.
Judging from what he just heard, King Zhao felt that the current political arena of Zhao should be very close to the kind of gentleman dispute he imagined.
King Zhao stood up and said lightly: "Okay, since everyone has arrived, then go to the palace."
King Zhao walked in front, and the eunuchs followed closely, not forgetting to wipe his cold sweat quietly.
If someone else reported the situation just now, it would be said that "Wu Xinjun is arrogant and domineering. After seeing Wu Xinjun, the Zhou brothers didn't dare to give up a single fart and went to the hall in shame."
In fact, that's what the guard said probably meant.
But the problem is that the eunuch Ling... is Zhao Kuo's ally in secret! Therefore, the eunuch Ling naturally wanted to speak to Zhao Kuo.
The Zhou brothers did not know that the "dark chess" they had high hopes for was quietly resolved invisibly without causing any turmoil.
Just as King Zhao walked towards the main hall, Zhao Kuo also made a secret with the two allies beside him.
"Our goal today is very simple. The first thing is to take down the seat of the general. This is the bottom line.
Secondly, after taking the position of General, we must try our best to win the position of Grand Sima and try our best to take down both positions!"
In the final analysis, this matter depends on whether Concubine Li can play a role in King Zhao, which is something that Zhao Kuo cannot be 100% sure.
After all, history has been changed too much, and now it can be said that it is beyond recognition. Zhao Kuo does not know whether those useful people and things in history can still work in this era.
However, Zhao Kuo also has an advantage, that is, he is very close to truly controlling the power of Zhao State and ascending the throne. As long as he can overcome these two uncertain thresholds, there will basically be no major problems in the future! Pang Qian and Li Mu listened to Zhao Kuo's words and nodded at the same time.
Pang Xian said, "Don't worry, you guys, we will definitely give Zhou Qing and the others a good look this time."
Li Mu grinned and said, "This time, we will make them lose all their grains, haha!"
While talking, the three of them walked into the hall.
Then, King Zhao arrived.
After the monarch and ministers finished their greetings, King Zhao did not speak nonsense and spoke directly: "You all should have known why you are summoning you today, so I don't say much about other things. You all want to speak freely!"
After King Zhao finished speaking, Zhao Kuo glanced at Zhou Shaofen.
Zhou Shaofen was obviously much calmer than before, and this time he didn't snatch any more words.
So Zhao Kuo stood up and spoke: "King, the old minister believes that the position of general should be taken over by Li Mu.
After becoming the Grand Sima, Li Mu made outstanding achievements in military affairs. Not only did he defeat the Chu and South Korea coalition forces in the south, but he also intimidated Qin after he turned to the West, making the Qin people dare not continue to advance and made great contributions to the peace talks between Qin and Zhao.
All this, coupled with Li Mu having always been loyal to the Great Zhao and the King, if Li Mu cannot take over as the General, it will be the loss of our Great Zhao!"
Zhao Kuo also came up and yelled Li Mu first, and then talked about how Zhou Shaofen made a move, and Zhao Kuo would go on!
