When Zhao Kuo walked out of the palace, he happened to see Han Fei waiting for him. Han Fei was talking to Ge. When he saw Zhao Kuo walking out, Han Fei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old...teacher, there was someone just now.
Want to assassinate Dong Chengzi."
"Then Dong Chengzi..."
"We are all here, the assassin did not succeed."
Zhao Kuo nodded, got on the carriage again, and headed to Dong Chengzi's courtyard. When he arrived here, he saw the body lying in a pool of blood. He looked carefully and found that he was not
Knowing this person, he walked to Dong Chengzi's side. Dong Chengzi, who was not very courageous, was not afraid at all at this moment. He smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "This is not the first time. Zhao Kuo wants to
There are many people who want to kill me."
Zhao Kuo frowned and asked, "Is he your enemy?"
"Since I became the commander of the Zhao State, I have offended many people. I have arrested the children, close relatives, and guests of the nobles of the Zhao State. As long as they have committed crimes, I have never forgiven them. Because of this incident,
Many people have threatened me and want to take revenge on me. I believe they are all people who will do what they say. However, I cannot violate my responsibilities...I am Sikou." Fatty Dong said seriously.
Zhao Kuo looked at him and said seriously: "A wise man, Dong Chengzi."
At this moment, the disciples looked at Dong Chengzi with completely different eyes. They showed respect, envy, and even a little jealousy. The teacher's status was getting higher and higher. Such a compliment from him would officially make Dong Chengzi enter the ranks of sages.
Even later, they may be admired by future generations. This is the most powerful weapon of the scholars. Previously, Zhao Kuo had accused the king of Han of being immoral. After this sentence spread, the wise men of Korea immediately ran away.
.
The King of Han did not want others to know what happened between him and Zhao Kuo, but with so many people dead and Di at the same time being by Zhao Kuo's side, it was impossible not to let others know. Everyone in Han heard that Zhao Kuo
Kuo reprimanded the King of Han in person, saying that the King of Han was unvirtuous. If other people dared to be so rude to the King of Han, the Korean people would definitely avenge the king, and even the aristocratic children in the country would not stop seeking revenge.
However, it was Ma Fujun who reprimanded the King of Han... This eliminated everyone's idea of revenge... and even convinced everyone that the King of Han was indeed unvirtuous, and many Korean nobles fled into the Wei Kingdom.
, Zhao Guo, and King Han suddenly lost half their ministers. King Han regarded this as betrayal and submitted letters to King Wei and King Zhao, asking them to send the betrayers back to South Korea. However, whether it was King Zhao or King Wei,
They ignored him.
You immoral guy, don’t write to us! We don’t want to join in the same trend with you!
Zhao Kuo remembered that he had more important things to do, so he hurriedly grabbed Han Fei, walked into the inner room, and found bamboo slips. Zhao Kuo wrote quickly and started writing. Han Fei sat aside and read carefully.
After a long time, Zhao Kuo finished writing the letter this time. He handed the letter to Han Fei and ordered: "Give this letter to Lou Huan and ask him to send it to the King of Qin as soon as possible... This is very important.
, please make sure to send it over in time."
Han Fei nodded. Now that Lou Xu is staying in Zhao State, he has become the most important contact point between Qin State and Zhao State. He also uses his own methods to improve the relationship between Qin State and Zhao State, but
, he did not know that it was no longer possible to remain friendly in front of Qin, which had changed its basic strategy.
Late at night, when Han Fei hurried to the door of Lou Chuan's mansion, there was no one on the street. Yang Duanhe stood behind Han Fei. He was sent by Zhao Kuo to protect Han Fei. In fact,
Han Fei's swordsmanship is pretty good and he can protect himself. Otherwise, he would not have been able to travel to various countries to study alone when he was young and increase his knowledge. However, the situation in Handan is a bit chaotic now, so Zhao Kuo asked Yang
Duanhe followed.
Han Fei knocked on the door of Lou Xu's house. At that moment, noisy sounds came from the courtyard. Han Fei frowned and quickly put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Yang Duanhe also reacted and quickly drew out his sword.
, the door was suddenly opened, Lou Huan was holding a sharp sword, and dozens of doormen holding powerful crossbows were standing behind him. Han Fei was cold all over, looking at the arrows flashing with cold light, and did not dare to move.
The same goes for Yang Duanhe. He secretly calculated the distance between Lou Huan and himself, wondering whether he could kill him by throwing his sword.
Lou Huan took a clear look at Han Fei in front of him, then exhaled, and quickly asked the guests to put down their crossbows. He walked forward, bowed to Han Fei, and said, "Please don't panic, I have offended you."
He is a big shot, and his clients have been killed many times these days..." He explained, and Han Fei realized that Lou Xu was the same age as his eldest father, so naturally he could not accept Lou Xu's salute, so he hurriedly avoided it.
He opened the door and saluted slowly toward the building.
Lou Xu pulled the two of them into the courtyard. Han Fei saw the listless appearance of Lou Xu's diners. They were all exhausted. Lou Xu shook his head helplessly and said with emotion: "It seems that I should still go back."
Qin...Zhao people don't want me to live." Yang Duanhe was stunned, Qin people?
Lou Huan asked them to sit down, and Han Fei took out the letter, handed it to Lou Huan, and said seriously: "This... this... this is the letter written by the teacher to the King of Qin, please... please... please
You are sent to the State of Qin immediately. The teacher said that this is a very... very important matter." Lou Cheng hesitated for a moment, then took the letter and said to Han Fei: "Please sit down for a while, I will
Send someone here..." Han Fei stood up and wanted to leave.
Lou Huan then said: "I have some things I would like your help with."
Han Fei had no choice but to sit down and Lou Xu left. Yang Duanhe asked secretly: "Is he from Qin?" Han Fei was a little surprised, "He is Lou Xu, the former Prime Minister of Qin. How could you
Don't you know?" Yang Duanhe's eyes widened. He had never heard of Qin Xiang named Lou Huan. He asked in confusion: "Then why is he here?"
"The State of Qin originally negotiated peace with the State of Zhao, and the King of Zhao used him in exchange for Shangdang."
"Oh..." Only then did Yang Duanhe understand. The two talked for a while, and then Lou Huan walked in. He sat in front of Han Fei, feeling a little uneasy. He looked at Han Fei and said
"I have something to ask Mr. Ma Fu for help." Han Fei was stunned for a moment and then said, "Please tell me."
"Zhao Bao wants to kill me. I told the Lord about this, but the Lord doesn't believe it..." Lou Xu frowned and said seriously: "I don't know what happened to Zhao Bao. He suddenly started
Killing the ministers who supported Lord Xinling, many of them encountered assassins... I went to confront Zhao Bao, but Zhao Bao did not admit such a thing at all. I checked the assassins and they were all related to Ping Yang
He has connections with you, and some of them are even his disciples!"
Han Fei frowned and said nothing, but Yang Duanhe couldn't help it anymore. He stood up and said angrily: "How could such a thing happen?" Lou Huan was a little surprised and looked at the young man in front of him.
Listening to his accent, he suddenly shouted: "Are you from Qin?" Yang Duanhe nodded. The two were about to chat when they suddenly heard a cry of death. Lou Xu was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
.
However, Yang Duanhe and Han Fei hurriedly ran to the front yard. When they arrived, they saw an assassin lying on the ground, surrounded by Lou Suan's hangers-on. Lou Suan also walked out, cautiously
He looked at the assassin in the distance and cried out sadly: "What's the reason for this!"
"Dong Chengzi was also assassinated..." Yang Duanhe said.
Han Fei left here anyway, and Yang Duanhe also said goodbye to Lou Huan.
Han Fei rushed to Dong Chengzi's mansion and met Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked about the letter. After Han Fei answered, he told Zhao Kuo in detail what he had encountered in Lou Xu's mansion.
Yang Duanhe was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his senior brother's memory was so good. He remembered Lou Huan's words clearly and repeated them verbatim. Even many details that Yang Duanhe had not noticed, he
All mentioned.
Zhao Kuo frowned, called Dong Chengzi, and sat in the inner room.
"The relationship between Lord Pingyang and Lou Xu is indeed very bad. Lou Xu has been helping Lord Xinling handle domestic affairs, and he has done a very good job. However, Lord Pingyang feels that Lou Xu is a spy sent by the Qin State. He
He came here to gather information and plot against Zhao Guo, so he has always been very hostile to him and often told his neighbors that he wanted to kill Lou Huan." Dong Chengzi said and Zhao Kuo nodded.
"But...Shangjun will not tolerate his behavior. Lord Pingyang knows who Shangjun is. How could he directly send people to murder Lou Xu? If Lou Xu dies, I'm afraid Shangjun will explode completely.
, Even if the Lord doesn’t kill him, he will definitely drive him out of the Zhao Kingdom... I think someone seems to be framing Lord Pingyang... By the way, does Lord Pingyang have any other enemies?" Zhao Kuo asked.
Dong Chengzi was stunned, looked at Zhao Kuo, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Mr. Xinling..."
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "I don't know yet whether the assassin who came to your courtyard and the assassin who encountered Lou Huan were sent by the same person... First, we must understand this matter..."
, He paused, and then said: "I will ask Mr. Xinling, but I don't think he will do such a thing. He may use the behavior of Pingyang Jun's villains to deal with him, but
He would never do such a thing himself."
Zhao Kuo put the assassin on his carriage and rushed to Lord Xinling's mansion with Han Fei and others.
Lord Xinling was already asleep. When he was woken up by the doorman, he was still a little angry. But when he heard that Lord Ma Fu was coming, he stood up quickly, got dressed, and then went to greet Zhao Kuo.
Jun was very happy and was not angry because Zhao Kuo had disturbed him late at night. Zhao Kuo first apologized for disturbing him and then sat down. Before Jun Xinling could speak, Zhao Kuo asked, "Will you send someone?"
To assassinate the minister and then use it to frame Zhao Bao?"
Lord Xinling was stunned, shook his head, and said, "I have never done such a thing."
Zhao Kuo nodded and didn't ask any more questions about the matter. He placed the assassin's body in the courtyard and asked, "Do you know him?" Lord Xinling stepped forward and said seriously.
Looking at it, he picked up the murder weapon again, looked at it seriously, and then said: "I don't know this person, but you can hand him over to me, and I can find out his identity and what he did?"
"He wanted to kill Dong Chengzi."
"And Lou Huan was also assassinated."
Wei Wuji's face gradually became serious, and he said, "I will find out."
Zhao Kuo returned to Dong Chengzi's courtyard and rested here for a night. The letter he sent to the King of Qin was to persuade the King of Qin not to kill the prisoners. The whole country of Qin was eager for the enemy's heads, and the prisoners were very interested in them.
They were of little use, even being ineligible to be rewarded as retainers, because they might murder their masters and were an unsettling factor. Therefore, Qin never let go of these captives.
Why waste food feeding these enemies?
Zhao Kuo only hoped that his letters could play some role and reduce some killings.
The next morning, Zhao Kuo left Dong Chengzi's mansion again and went to visit Pang Nuan. Pang Nuan was very healthy and energetic. This old man who was older than Zhao Kuo's eldest father, it seemed that time had never defeated him.
When Kuo rushed to his courtyard, the eldest old man in the Zhao Kingdom was actually practicing his sword! Seeing Zhao Kuo coming, Pang Nuan was very happy and took Zhao Kuo to eat together. Pang Nuan ate better than Zhao Kuo.
More to come...
Pang Nuan talked about the official system he wanted to implement in Zhao. He told the King of Zhao about the supervision system that Zhao Kuo mentioned. Unfortunately, it was not adopted. Even the officials in the country thought this method was inappropriate.
If it weren't for Pang Nuan's age and many friends, I'm afraid someone would have started scolding him and slandering him. Everyone's opposition made Pang Nuan feel that there was something wrong with his system.
I started to work hard to improve the supervision system I want to implement...
As a result, the Qin people used it first.
The people of Qin copied Pang Nuan's system almost perfectly, from the postal supervisors who inspected the counties to the governors in the counties, to the chief ministers in the palace. The King of Qin even sent a gift, which was a beautiful piece of cake.
Pang Nuan was not angry. He even hung the jade on his waist and proudly showed everyone: This is not a problem with my system! It is a problem with you!
Pang Nuan said with a smile: "Let the people of Qin try out the quality of this system, learn from the shortcomings, and then implement it in Zhao. This will be better." This old man always smiled, as if nothing could happen.
He was troubled, cordial, and kind, and Zhao Kuo liked him very much. Zhao Kuo just proposed a supervision system that was copied from later generations and completely inconsistent with the current situation, but it was this profound old man who embodied this system.
Pang Nuan is a very knowledgeable person. No matter what people ask, he can give an answer. When Han Fei asked about the original reform of King Wu Ling, he could even tell the details of the original reform verbatim, because...
..He was an important participant in the original reform. This is a living antique and a living museum. Han Fei also took the opportunity to ask him about many things, including things about Korea and Wei, and the old man could tell them.
When Han Fei talked about the virtuous Xiang Kaidi in the hearts of Koreans, Pang Huan said with a smile: That young man Kaidi.
This made Han Fei stunned. Kaifangchi was a figure who had assisted Han Zhaohou... Han Zhaohou... was the one who appointed Shen Buyai to carry out the reform.
This... I've probably met Shen Buhai???
