If you agree with his words, it is tantamount to admitting that Zhao Kuo has acted arrogantly. Combined with his actions of planning and then taking action, it is easy to conclude that Zhao Kuo has bad intentions and despises the king.
Nowadays, the fire is cooking the oil, and the great success has been achieved. Naturally, the board is raised high and gently lowered.
However, human memory is always like this. It will gradually forget the good things of others and gradually magnify the bad things of others.
Once this excuse is confirmed, Zhao Kuo will never be able to lead an army again in his life. Who dares to let a general with evil intentions and contempt for the king lead the army again, and who dares to say this? Even if we encounter a critical moment like the battle of Shangdang again.
And when Zhao Kuo steps down from the altar, especially after he is deprived of military power, and when the pain of the Party War gradually fades away, people will gradually forget how Zhao Kuo actually turned the tide in life and death, and will only remember Zhao Kuo. Kuo disobeyed the king's orders and acted arbitrarily.
But now Zhao Kuo has just stood up!
As a result, stories about Zhao Kuo's arrogance and domineering will replace the drama of Zhao Kuo's strategizing and quietly spread in major dock teahouses; then, news about Zhao Kuo's corruption, bending the law and practicing favoritism will be spread inadvertently, and above the court , the remarks about impeaching Zhao Kuo will also become more intense.
Even the battle of Shangdang will have a different look.
Nothing but human nature.
In times of crisis, even adults in the clouds need a savior. If the Savior is always high up, then naturally he will be offered high incense and looked up to endlessly. But the Savior cannot fall from the thirty-sixth heaven to the clouds and appear ordinary in front of the big shots, let alone fall from the clouds.
In that way, every meeting will become a torture by the big shots, a torture of their own incompetence.
Obviously, the adults in the cloud simply cannot accept such torture. The only way is to step this former savior into the dirt and never stand up again.
Therefore, all those who praise today will slowly evolve into gravediggers in the future. If there is still some conscience left, maybe when you occasionally remember it, you will sigh after a few sour words, or maybe on the Cold Food Festival That day, I would carry two jars of good wine to the country bumpkin in the wilderness without even a monument, and pay a little tribute to him.
Since ancient times, it is difficult for those with high achievements to die well. This is the reason. The top person needs to suppress you a little to ensure his status, but if this small suppression is a little too hard, it will give the wrong hint to the adults around you, and then the suppression will turn into a blow, until... …
Of course, neither Lin Xiangru nor Lord Pingyuan has obviously thought of such a deep level. Their idea is actually very simple: Zhao State needs Zhao Kuo, such an outstanding young general, to protect the Zhao State that is already riddled with holes. , and we need examples like Zhao Kuo to inspire those who come after us to make contributions to the country.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo must keep it! Not for Zhao Kuo, but for Zhao Guo.
What about King Zhao? The State of Zhao was his, so how could he not know the importance of Zhao Kuo to the State of Zhao? The dilemma when the national treasury and Changping were in crisis was still vivid in his mind.
But there is no way, he is the king! In particular, Zhao Guo, one of the protagonists of the three divisions into Jin Dynasty, had a vivid example of the Tian family replacing Qi, so King Zhao had to guard against it. Obviously, apart from suppressing Zhao Kuo, King Zhao did not find a better way, and his ambition and strategy were not enough to accommodate the powerful Zhao Kuo.
As King Zhao's lackey, Lou Chang has been favored by the Qin people for many years, so he naturally wants to follow King Zhao's footsteps closely, maybe take the opportunity to capture Zhao Kuo, and maybe there will be another turning point in the Shangdang battle.
As for Pingyang Jun, he did not advocate taking Shangdang to offend Qin from the beginning. If Zhao defeated and obtained Shangdang's land, wouldn't it be a slap in his face? As the greatest contributor to the Shangdang War, Zhao Kuo naturally became his political enemy. Suppressing Zhao Kuo was still under the instruction of King Zhao, the leader. Do we still need to consider it?
Therefore, the result of dealing with and suppressing Zhao Kuo is almost inevitable.
There is no way, his contribution is too great! Even if he is waiting for Zhao Kuo to return in triumph, Zhao Sheng, as an elder, will take the initiative to mention Zhao Kuo and expose some problems such as arrogance, extravagance and so on, so that King Zhao can rest assured and be targeted.
It is a pity that King Zhao's wealth and patience are not enough for him to last until that time.
Just like the Battle of Changping in history, the State of Zhao was suffering, and the State of Qin was also suffering, but King Zhao chose the most inappropriate strategy at the most inappropriate time.
The same thing happened again strangely despite the changes in time and space.
Just before the Battle of Changping came to an end and the Qin army was still struggling to find a way to break out of the encirclement, our King Zhao was already thinking about how to suppress the heroes.
I have to say that the timing King Zhao found was really bad!
This is something that wise men like Pingyuan Jun and Lin Xiangru can never agree to.
"Punish the general?" Mr. Pingyuan sneered and said angrily: "After punishing Mr. Mafu, are you going to become the general? Look clearly, there are more than 100,000 Qin troops in Shangdang territory! You should go, I will definitely collect the body for you!"
If Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng is still angry about the doctor Lou Chang, for Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao, he is almost pointing his nose and scolding.
There is no way, a compatriot whose blood is thicker than water has been suppressed to death for how many years!
Even though he, Zhao Bao, is the elder brother!
It's just that this kind of scolding in front of King Zhao and his ministers is still rare, and it certainly makes Zhao Bao extremely embarrassed.
A burst of urgent coughing came, but it was to relieve Zhao Bao who was embarrassed on the spot.
Looking around, Lin Shangqing was coughing hard on the soft seat. An extremely unusual flush appeared on his originally pale face. He didn't know when he was angry at the discussion just now, or... ....
The eunuch on the side saw this and hurried forward, patting Lin Xiangru's back gently to calm him down.
King Zhao also hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Shang Qing, are you okay?"
At this time, King Zhao also felt a little regretful. With Lin Shangqing's body like this, he shouldn't have been allowed to come here late at night. If he couldn't afford to fall ill, he would probably be criticized verbally and in writing.
Without him, Lin Xiangru's prestige was too strong.
Fortunately, after a period of relief from the eunuch, Lin Xiangru's complexion gradually improved - the flushing faded, revealing his original pale face.
After struggling to raise his hand and wave it, Lin Xiangru said with difficulty: "No problem, no problem! Thank you for your concern, my king."
"It's just this matter." Lin Xiangru continued: "Your Majesty acted too hastily. Not to mention this battle, Ma Fujun has already made great achievements, even if Zhao Kuo has really caused such a big disaster, he should not kill him and then hurry up. After the war is over, this should never be the time! How dare you kill the general before the battle is over?!"
