"Your Majesty, Yu Xin wishes to see you." As soon as Xunzi left, the guards came in again.
"No need to report in the future, just let them in." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.
"promise."
Soon, Yu Qing walked in with a lot of things. He walked up to Zhao Kuo and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, did you see Xun Kuang when I came in? It seems that he just left the palace?"
He knew Xunzi's character, and he dared to quarrel with anyone he met, for fear of offending Zhao Kuo and accidentally getting into trouble.
"Well, just after I left, you called me a traitor to the country." Zhao Kuo said calmly.
"Your Majesty, please don't get along with him. He treats everyone like this." Yu Xin said quickly.
"I pushed him back." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "But I invited him to be an official, but he didn't agree."
"The king plans to invite him to be an official?" Yu Xin was a little surprised.
At the beginning, the kings of Qin and Qi also invited Xunzi to serve as officials. Later, Xunzi couldn't bear the scolding and drove him away. Since then, no monarch has dared to use Xunzi.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuo was so brave and dared to use Xunzi.
"Not bad." Zhao Kuo nodded.
"Then I'll have a good talk with him when I get back, and leave this matter to you." Yu Xin thought for a moment, then said with his hands.
"Do Yu Qing and Xunzi know each other?"
"I often discuss the Spring and Autumn Annals with him," Yu Xin said.
Xunzi's "Spring and Autumn" was passed down to him by Yu Xin. In a sense, Yu Xin was Xunzi's teacher.
"Then I'll leave this matter to Yu Qing," Zhao Kuo looked at the things in Yu Xin's hands and asked, "What did Yu Qing find out?"
"Your Majesty, I have found Lou Chang and the Lou family."
"It's so fast, you won't be checking all night, right?" Zhao Kuo said, it's only been one night, and the two of them have found so much.
"We haven't officially started the investigation yet. I just ordered the Lou family to be sealed off. Some of these things were already known to me, and some were found in the Lou family," Yu Xin said.
Le Yi could guess that Qin's spies were Lou Chang and the Lou family just by relying on clues. Yu Xin had been staying in Handan, so how could he not know?
It's just that King Zhao favors Lou Chang, so what can he do?
"Is there anyone else besides Lou Chang?" Zhao Kuo asked. He was not surprised by the result. Le Yi had already warned him.
"And... Zheng Zhu, Zhao Hao, the Zhao clan, and..." At this point, Yu Xin hesitated.
"To put it bluntly, if the sky falls, I will hold it up." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
The spies of the Qin State must be uprooted, but he does not believe that the Zhao State can still be full of spies.
If this were the case, Qin would have destroyed Zhao long ago, why would it waste such great efforts?
"Pingyang Jun also has contact with Lou Chang, Zhao Hao and others, and... has correspondence with the State of Qin." Yu Xin gritted his teeth and said everything.
"Pingyang Lord!" Zhao Kuo stood up suddenly. Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao is not a collateral line of the Zhao family, but a true direct lineage. The son of King Zhao Wuling, Zhao Kuo would call him uncle.
Logically speaking, he had no reason to betray Zhao and become a spy for Qin. The price Qin paid him could not be higher than that of Zhao.
"Has it been confirmed?" Zhao Kuo clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice.
"It's not confirmed yet. At present, it's just that Pingyang Jun has a relatively good relationship with Zheng Zhu, Zhao Hao and others. They often communicate with each other, and all his letters with Qin are sent to Lou Xuan. No information about Zhao has been found yet."
Yu Xin said.
Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Wangdan had just passed away at this time. If Zhao Kuo attacked Zhao Bao again at this time, the Zhao family, which was originally on Zhao Kuo's side, would most likely stand on the opposite side.
Zhao Kuo didn't want to do anything to him unless he had to.
"Continue to investigate, no matter who it is, get to the bottom of it." Zhao Kuo supported the desk with both hands, leaned forward, and said resolutely.
"I obey the decree." Yu Xin looked excited. He liked an iron-blooded monarch like Zhao Kuo.
"Your Majesty, where is Lou Chang..." Yu Xin asked again. He had long wanted to get rid of this villain Lou Chang.
"Send the order to arrest all the Lou family members. Lou Chang should not move yet. The reward I promised him has not been given yet." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.
He is a man of his word. If he says he will give Lou Chang a reward, he will give him a reward. Even if he is a spy of the Qin State, he must be rewarded before arresting him.
One yard owned by a yard!
"Nuo." Yu Xin leaned over and said, but did not leave.
"Does anything else happen to Yu Qing?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"I would like to recommend a talented person to the king," Yu Xin said.
"Xiancai? What's his name? Where is he?" Zhao Kuo was overjoyed. A Xunzi had just escaped, and now there was another Xiancai.
He likes talented people the most, even ten of them are not too many.
"His name is Wei Qi, and he was once the prime minister of Wei State. Because he had offended Fan Ju before, when Fan Ju became the prime minister of Qin State, he sent people to ask Wei State for Wei Qi's head. Wei Qi had no choice but to flee to Zhao State.
, I and Lord Pingyuan thought of his talent, so he sheltered him at home." Yu Xin said.
Zhao Kuo fell silent, and after a while he said, "I heard that Wei Qi's moral conduct was deficient. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Your Majesty, Wei Qi is indeed a bit biased, but he himself is very talented. No one in this world is perfect. If your Majesty wants to revitalize Zhao State, he needs all kinds of talented people. Your Majesty needs to do something
The purpose is to put the right people in the right positions, not to permanently remove someone because he has done something wrong." Yu Xin leaned over and bowed, and said solemnly.
"What Yu Qing said is that I am overthinking. I wonder where Wei Qi is now? I will go and invite him personally." Zhao Kuo suddenly woke up.
Indeed, no one in the world is perfect. As a monarch, what you have to do is to use the right people, rather than pursue perfection. Since Wei Qi only listens to one side, then let him be his deputy.
As for the grievances with Fan Ju, that's not the case anymore.
If Fan Ju was messing with Zhao Kuo, then Zhao Kuo would definitely choose Fan Ju without saying anything. Fan Ju's talent does not need to be proven.
But now Fan Ju is the enemy. Zhao Kuo can't give up on Wei Qi out of fear of offending an enemy.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Wei Qi has arrived outside the palace." Yu Xin said.
"I, the king, will invite him in right now."
Without waiting for Yu Xin to stop him, Zhao Kuo had already stepped outside the hall. He saw a man standing below him at a glance. He was about seven feet tall and had thin cheeks. He frequently raised his head to look at the hall, his brows filled with sorrow.
"Are you Wei Qi?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"May I ask who you are?" Wei Qi asked cautiously. He had some guesses about Zhao Kuo's identity, but Zhao Kuo was not wearing royal robes, so Wei Qi was not sure.
And he couldn't believe that Zhao Kuo would come to greet him in person.
"Hahaha, sir, please." Zhao Kuo grabbed Wei Qi's hands, helped him into the hall, and sat down opposite Yu Xin.
At this time, no matter how stupid Wei Qi was, he still knew who the young man in front of him was, and he quickly bowed and bowed, "Wei Qi pays homage to the king."
"Sir, please get up quickly. I have long heard that you are a talented person, and when I see you today, you are even more famous. I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to serve in the Kingdom of Zhao to help me?" Zhao Kuo helped Wei Qi.
"I once offended Qin's Prime Minister Fan Ju because I believed in slander. When the king appoints me, aren't you afraid of offending Qin?" Wei Qi raised his head and looked at Zhao Kuo.
"Hahaha, I have offended Qin State. I am afraid that I am the one that Qin State hates the most." Zhao Kuo laughed.
"I pay my respects to your Majesty." Wei Qi heard this and bowed again.
"Sir, please stay in the State of Zhao with peace of mind. The State of Wei is afraid of the State of Qin, but I, the State of Zhao, are not afraid. As long as I, Zhao Kuo, are here for one day, the State of Qin will not be able to touch you, sir." Zhao Kuo said solemnly.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty." Wei Qifu knelt on the ground and burst into tears of gratitude.
From the prime minister of a country to a fugitive hiding in Tibet, even Yu Qing and Ping Ping Jun who took him in did not dare to let him be exposed, for fear of offending the Qin State, and no one knew how he came here all these years.
Now, his wandering days are finally over!
"By the way, my husband has already become an official. It is not appropriate to continue to live in Yu Qing's house. I will order someone to prepare a house for my husband in Handan for him to live in," Zhao Kuo said.
