Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The only small regret is that if Tian Wan or Qiu'er is beside such a bad old man as Chun Shenjun, then the feeling will be better.

Zhao Kuo was quite satisfied with the beautiful scenery of the manor presented in front of him, and decided to go back and tidy up his mansion, decorate it in a similar style, and make it even more upscale.

Chunshen Jun didn't know what Zhao Kuo was thinking. At this moment, the Minister of Chu State smiled at Zhao Kuo: "I have heard that Wu Xinjun has a quick-talking personality. Today, I also know that people don't speak secretly. If the old man wants to win the general agent of ginseng Chu, what should he do?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Jun Shen in front of him, and felt a bit of urgency from the other's face.

But what makes Zhao Kuo a little helpless is that his Nightingale intelligence system has not yet established any system in Chu State, so Zhao Kuo doesn't know where Chun Shenjun's eagerness comes from.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo is a time traveler after all, so he can more or less guess why Chun Shenjun is so eager.

Chunshen Jun, as the Ling Yin of the Chu State, of course he cannot take money just because of greed, but to cultivate power!Among other things, Lord Chunshen and Lord Yuan both keep thousands of diners in their mansions. Most of these diners just go about their lives without doing anything. tight?

Zhao Kuo showed a smile and said slowly: "To tell you the truth, this Marquis has long wanted to cooperate with Junhou to open up ginseng channels."

Originally, Zhao Kuo was worried that Chunshen Jun was also jealous of rich businessmen like some nobles in this era, but at the same time he was very disdainful of them, but the current situation shows that Zhao Kuo's worries are superfluous.

As the saying goes, the bond formed by interests is the strongest, and money is undoubtedly a very important kind of interests.

Once Mr. Chunshen becomes the general agent of Chu State in the ginseng business, are you afraid that he will not fully support the friendly alliance between Zhao and Chu?

After receiving Zhao Kuo's answer, Chunshen Jun was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "I don't know what kind of agency method this general agent is?

Although the Marquis also asked about Hou Sheng, but this person did not give any details, really..." Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and raised five fingers: "It's very simple.

We, Da Zhao, are responsible for the purchase of goods to the territory of Chu State, and then you are responsible for the sales in Chu State.

We don't care how much the price is or how much we sell to others. The only requirement is that it can only be sold within the border of Chu State. As for the share, it is [-]-[-] points, half of each of you and me, and the settlement is made every three months. "

Zhao Kuo's conditions for Chunshenjun and Housheng are exactly the same, which also reflects Zhao Kuo's principle of fairness.

After all, Lord Chunshen is also a well-known virtuous official in this era. He has talent, and he is not easy to fool around. It is actually not necessary to offend such a person just for a small share.

Moreover, this is also a good opportunity for Zhao Kuo to quietly infiltrate the nightingales under his command into the state of Chu.

Don't look at the fact that all the sales in the state of Chu are handed over to Mr. Chunshen as if he has no plan to intervene, but in fact this is not the case at all.

How to set the price at the beginning, how to introduce the efficacy to the nobles, how to take it, and how to solve it if there is any problem after taking it. These Chunshenjun and Chu people can't solve it, so Zhao Kuo must send someone to help. This can be an opportunity to enter.

This was a method that Zhao Kuo had already used in Qi State before the official establishment of Nightingale, and it must have become more proficient in using it in Chu State for the second time.

Mr. Chunshen didn't know about Zhao Kuo's calculations. The Chu State Commander Yin seemed quite excited at the moment, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Fifty-fifty, no problem! That's the deal."

Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand with a smile, and held Chun Shenjun's hand tightly: "Happy cooperation!"

Jun Shen laughed loudly: "Jun Wu Xin, happy cooperation!"

The two of them finalized these matters in a few words, and the following minor details will naturally be implemented by confidant retainers like Xiang Xu Li and Li Yuan, so there is no need for these two big men to continue to worry about them.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo naturally turned the topic to another aspect: "Mr. Chunshen, to tell you the truth, the reason why Benhou came to Chu this time is to form an alliance between Zhao and Chu. I wonder if you can give me a end?"

Now that you are already business partners, some topics that were not suitable for discussion can now be discussed.

Chun Shenjun couldn't help being silent for a moment when he heard the words, then sighed, and said: "To tell you the truth, Wu Xinjun, in fact, the old man was very supportive of the Zhao-Chu alliance, but you have also seen Jingyou's face, this time the three major families In order to dismantle the Zhao-Chu alliance, they will do everything possible, and they can do all kinds of dirty tricks."

Zhao Kuo's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Why do the three major families oppose the Zhao-Chu alliance?"

Mr. Chunshen froze immediately when he heard the words. It is impossible to say that the three major families did not really object, but just hoped to make more money on Zhao Guo, right?

But after this incident, the three major families must have no choice but to oppose the Zhao-Chu Alliance.

Jun Shen's thoughts changed, and then he said with a smile: "It's nothing more than a word of profit, the old man has always suspected that the three major families are secretly colluding with the state of Qin, but there is no evidence.

All in all, the old man is of course supporting Wu Xinjun, but whether you can succeed or not depends on the king's decision. "

Zhao Kuo snorted, and said, "It's okay, given Chunshen Jun's reputation in Chu and his position in the hearts of the kings of your country, with Chunshen's support this time, the alliance must be easy to come by!"

Chun Shenjun stroked his beard that was beginning to turn gray, and smiled with a bit of self-respect.

Zhao Kuo also showed a smile. Although there were some unexpected turmoil this time, even Zhao Kuo himself did not expect it, but in general, "winning the support of Chunshen Jun" and "opening up the ginseng business in the state of Chu" The two major events have been achieved so far, and the next thing to do is to convince the king of Chu.

When it comes to slapstick, Zhao Kuo is not bragging, but Benhou is worthy of everyone!

Chapter 211 The Empress Dowager's Fright

Handan, the palace city of Zhao State.

Han Ji, the Queen Mother of the Zhao Kingdom, was sitting in the hall, patiently tutoring the little King Zhao with his homework.

Just six years old is the time of enlightenment, so the homework is actually quite simple, that is, recognizing and writing characters.

"Zhao Yan, this is your name.

You write to your mother on this piece of paper. "

"Hey?

That's not how Zhao is written. Start from the left first. Who told you to start from the right?

You child is really "" this Yan's strokes are not right, change it again, change it again, what are you doing in a daze, change it! "

As she spoke, the Queen Mother's voice gradually became higher, and an angry look slowly appeared on her pretty face.

Tutoring their children with their homework, no matter in ancient or modern times, is a very difficult challenge for parents.

Little King Zhao's complexion gradually became bitter, but the queen mother's strictness did not relax in any way, and the maids serving on the side did not dare to take a breath.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly broke the silence in the hall.

The person who came was the eunuch order of Zhao State.

The feeling of being interrupted obviously made the queen mother very dissatisfied, she raised her head and stared at the eunuch order in front of her: "What's the matter?"

The next moment, the news from the Eunuch Ling's report immediately dissipated all the dissatisfaction in the Empress Dowager's heart, and she was even greatly frightened.

"Queen Mother, something is wrong! I just received the news from Lord Pingyuan of Daliang City that Lord Wuxin, Zhao Kuo, was assassinated by someone sent by Chu State Yang Xia Lingjingyou not long after he entered the territory of Chu State!"

The news exploded instantly like a bomb, causing a burst of exclamation in the hall.

The Empress Dowager's expression was almost uncontrollable: "You said Wu Xinjun was assassinated?

What's going on? "

Eunuch Ling gave a wry smile, and hurriedly presented the urgent letter in his hand: "This is a letter sent by Lord Wu Xin to Lord Pingyuan on horseback. Please read it through the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother snatched up the urgent letter and began to read it.

When she saw Zhao Kuo's handwriting, the queen mother was relieved that at least Zhao Kuo was still alive.

As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as you are not a fool, you can understand the truth that Zhao Guo can have no one, but it is absolutely impossible to be without a military god-level general like Zhao Kuo!The queen mother continued to read, and looked at the face of the real supreme leader of Zhao country, who began to show anger: "This Chu person is simply unreasonable! The banquet is just a banquet, and he even wants to assassinate Wu Xinjun. He is still working." Choose to besiege Wu Xinjun after being exposed?"

The queen mother was really angry, not only because of the importance of Zhao Kuo, but also because of the treatment Zhao Kuo suffered as an envoy of Zhao Guo.

How could this state of Chu not show face to the state of Zhao?

A gleam of coldness flashed in the Queen Mother's phoenix eyes, and she said coldly: "Call Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Qing into the palace immediately!"

This time, due to the "big mission" activity led by the queen mother, six of the seven important ministers, including Zhao Kuo Pingyuan Lord Lin Xiangru, have left Handan, and the only one among the seven important ministers ranked last among the seven important ministers Therefore, Zhou Shaofen became the only person who was qualified to discuss matters with the Queen Mother.

Half an hour later, Zhou Shaofen hurriedly came to the hall where only the Queen Mother was left: "I see the Queen Mother!"

The queen mother didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Zhou Qing, please take a look at this letter from Mr. Wu Xin handed over by Mr. Pingyuan."

At the beginning, Zhou Shaofen, who was still a little unclear, couldn't help but change his face after reading the letter: "This, these Chu people are really audacious."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and said slowly: "The old woman plans to send troops to Chu State immediately, so that the people of Chu State can release Wu Xinjun. I don't know what Zhou Qing thinks?"

The Empress Dowager originally thought that Zhou Shaofen would immediately respond to this suggestion, but Zhou Shaofen's expression became rather strange after hearing this suggestion, and he asked after a while, "Does the Empress Dowager really dislike Wu Xinjun so much?"

The queen mother froze for a moment, and said: "What is Zhou Qing talking about, isn't the old woman trying to save Wu Xinjun?"

Zhou Shaofen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The Empress Dowager doesn't know anything.

Not to mention that the mobilization of soldiers and horses will not be possible within ten days and a half months, even if Da Zhao can immediately mobilize a soldier and horse to go south, so what?

Don't forget that Lord Wu Xin is still in Yangxia City, surrounded by three thousand Chu soldiers!If Da Zhao sent troops rashly, wouldn't he put Lord Wu Xin in danger, or even die? "

The Empress Dowager was stunned when she heard the words, and said after a while: "It seems to be the same reason.

According to Zhou Qing, how should this matter be handled? "

The queen mother actually trusts Zhou Shaofen relatively speaking. In the queen mother's view, although Zhou Shaofen is a commoner, he usually does things very low-key and cautious, and he is the person with the weakest foundation among the important ministers. Objects that are easy to control.

Zhou Shaofen stroked his beard, and his head began to turn rapidly.

Different from what the queen mother thought, Zhou Shaofen actually needed to think more, because this important minister of Zhao Guo also had an ally of Zhao Kuo whose identity was unknown to everyone including the queen mother!After a long while, Zhou Shaofen finally gave the answer: "Queen Mother, I don't think there is anything to worry about.

Judging from Wu Xinjun's letter, he only asked Pingyuan Jun to notify Handan, but he didn't ask Handan to provide any help. This proves that Wu Xinjun should be confident in solving this matter. "

The queen mother was startled: "You said that Zhao Kuo has the confidence to solve this matter?

The people of Chu State had already assassinated him and surrounded him. How would he solve this matter? "

Zhou Shaofen spread his hands helplessly, and said, "This old minister doesn't know.

But please rest assured, Empress Dowager, Wu Xinjun is not the kind of reckless man who wants to die, his wisdom is one of the best in the whole world, this kind of thing should not trouble him. "

The Empress Dowager bit her vermilion lips tightly, and after a while she said: "No, the old woman can't just sit and watch the great minister of Zhao being trapped and remain indifferent, otherwise the words will spread and how will others think of the old woman and the king?

Zhou Qing, the old woman decides." The Queen Mother just said this, and a high-pitched voice came from the steps of the hall: "Wu Xinjun urgent report!

"The queen mother stood up abruptly, her expression became quite eager: "Quick, hurry up!" After half a minute, a messenger came to the gate of the palace out of breath, and handed over an urgent report to the eunuch Ling who had already been guarding the gate of the palace, and then the urgent report immediately reached the Queen Mother .

The queen mother took a deep breath and opened the urgent report tremblingly.

Looking at the urgent report in front of her, the Empress Dowager remained silent for a long time.

This time it was Zhou Shaofen's turn to get a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask, "Queen Mother, what happened?"

After a few more seconds, the queen mother finally raised her head, and said with a strange expression: "Zhou Qing, you are really right, this Wu Xinjun really solved it by himself!"

Chapter 212 Too good is not a good thing

Now, it was Zhou Shaofen who was surprised: "Wu Xinjun solved it so quickly?"

In the hall, a pair of monarchs and ministers looked at each other in disbelief.

The reason why there is such a short interval between the two urgent reports is mainly because the first urgent report was first transferred to Mr. Pingyuan in Daliang City, which wasted at least one day, while the second urgent report was sent by Zhao Kuo. After the matter was resolved, people were sent directly back to Handan as soon as possible, so the two urgent reports arrived before and after.

But the front and back feet belong to the front and back feet. Doesn't this situation mean that Zhao Kuo actually only took one day, no, a total of two days to solve this matter?

With [-] Chu troops, and even the great malice behind Chu, Zhao Kuo only brought [-] Chi You troops and a few officials to solve this matter?

Such talent is really amazing!And the most frightening thing is that this kind of talent is not the military talent that Zhao Kuo has always been praised for, but a diplomatic talent that has nothing to do with military talent.

At the moment when she knew both military and diplomacy, the queen mother suddenly felt that Zhao Kuo was very dangerous, very dangerous.

A hundred cavalrymen can accomplish such an earth-shattering event, but now Zhao Kuo has a total of [-] cavalrymen under his command!Moreover, Zhao Kuo also made good friends with important ministers of the State of Zhao such as Prince Yuan, and had a great reputation in the army of the State of Zhao that even the great general Lian Po could not compare with.

The most important thing is that Zhao Kuo is the youngest and the only one under the age of 30 among the seven important ministers of Zhao State!The Empress Dowager frowned more and more.

After a long while, the queen mother said: "Zhou Qing, since this matter has been resolved, you can go back.

Remember, keep quiet. "

Zhou Shaofen froze for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "But Queen Mother, Lord Wu Xin is my Great Zhao's envoy after all, and I still think that Great Zhao must put some pressure on Chu State, otherwise, wouldn't it make people think that my Great Zhao is majestic?" Nothing?"

The queen mother suddenly raised her voice: "The old woman said, this matter ends here!"

Zhou Shaofen was a little puzzled. I don't know why the queen mother planned to send troops to Chu for Zhao Kuo just now, but now she has an opinion on Zhao Kuo after receiving the news of the resolution of the matter?

Zhou Shaofen had no choice but to back down.

The Empress Dowager sat alone in the hall, her slender and delicate fingers tapped on the table, and after a while, her thin red lips moved slightly, showing a very cold smile: "Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, if you It’s okay to fail, once you succeed, hehehe!”

After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother suddenly thought about it: "Han Xuwei is old after all, Mr. Pingyuan, Lian Po, Lin Xiangru and others are all of Zhao Kuo's father or even grandpa's generation. Maybe we should consider promoting this Zhou Shaofen." , so that he can fight against Zhao Kuo in the future?"

Zhou Shaofen, who just left in doubt, didn't know that at this moment, he had been appointed by the Queen Mother as the future candidate of Zhao Guoxiangbang!Just as Zhou Shaofen walked down the steps of the main hall, Mr. Pingyuan's carriage arrived at a gallop.

Zhou Shaofen was taken aback: "Mr. Pingyuan, why are you back?"

Mr. Pingyuan didn't care about his demeanor and faction, and said directly: "Zhou Qing, hurry up and see the queen mother with the old man, and discuss the crisis that Mr. Wu Xin encountered in Chu!"

Only then did Zhou Shaofen understand why Lord Pingyuan rushed back to Handan so quickly, and immediately said with a smile: "Your Honor, Lord Wu Xin sent an urgent letter just now, saying that the matter has been resolved."

"what?"

Mr. Pingyuan was also stunned.

It took Zhou Shaofen a minute to briefly introduce what he knew.

Jun Pingyuan was even more surprised: "So, not only did the people of Chu take the initiative to make concessions, but there is also a possibility that Chu will sign an alliance with Da Zhao because of this?"

Zhou Shaofen spread his hands: "I don't know about this.
