As he spoke, Lin Xiangru became excited and coughed violently.
The people around him immediately gathered around, but they saw Lin Xiangru suppressing the breath in his heart a little and continued: "I have been ordered by the late king. If I don't say certain things, I am afraid that no one else will dare to speak directly to my king."
"Your Majesty, please advise me!" King Zhao felt unhappy when he saw Lin Xiangru moving all the former kings out, but considering Lin Xiangru's prestige, he could only listen to the instructions.
"If a young general with great achievements becomes too powerful in the future, he may indeed endanger his lord. If we take precautions, it doesn't seem to be a big deal." Lin Xiangru continued to talk earnestly and thoughtfully: "The military power of Lord Ma Fu If the title makes the king uneasy, it is necessary to restrain him."
"Shangqing." King Zhao looked at Lin Xiangru with some surprise and some eagerness, and his expression suddenly turned bad.
"Shangqing!" Several people on the side also looked at Lin Xiangru in shock, and the eunuch behind him fell to his knees with a thump.
Is this something they can listen to? !
Lin Xiangru's words directly exposed to the public King Zhao's careful thoughts of being suspicious of and suppressing the heroes. They were more straightforward than Lord Pingyuan's. They simply put King Zhao's face on the ground.
Some things don't matter if you put them on the ground, but if you put them on the table, you won't be able to hold them down even if they weigh a thousand pounds.
Ignoring the shock of everyone and the sullen eyes of King Zhao, Lin Xiangru continued to talk to himself: "It may be just tactics or checks and balances, but it is by no means the whole way to be a king. With royal power in hand, you can check and balance the court. Sit back and relax, then how come there are so many changes in this world?"
"Lin Qing?" King Zhao listened to Lin Xiangru's words, and the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he turned to try to defend himself: "I am not..."
Of course Lin Xiangru knew what King Zhao wanted to say, but he knew that he didn't have much time.
Waving his hand to interrupt King Zhao's words, Lin Xiangru continued: "Since ancient times, nothing has remained unchanged for thousands of generations. The Shang Dynasty lost its deer, and the Western Zhou Dynasty succeeded it. country. Therefore, if a king wants to think about the future, he must always be worried. The more worried he is, the more he must be considerate of all people!"
As Lin Xiangru spoke softly, everyone present gradually fell into deep thought.
Indeed, it has happened since ancient times that powerful ministers replaced each other, but why is it not because the emperor is stupid and incompetent but presses too hard? Today, Zhao Kuo is still fighting bravely for his country, but behind the scenes...put yourself in his shoes...
While deep in thought, Lin Xiangru's unhurried voice sounded again.
"The checks and balances in the court are important, but in the final analysis, no matter how many means or how many ingenuities you have." Lin Xiangru's eyes became increasingly sharp: "The most important thing is for the king himself! Your Majesty, you must sit still and be calm. live!"
As he spoke, Lin Xiangru burst out a mouthful of blood...
"Sir!"
"Sir!"
...
There was a sudden rush in the palace. Fortunately, Lin Xiangru was still concerned about the final outcome of the Shangdang battle and did not collapse. However, he could only lean on the collapse, unable to say another word.
King Zhao bowed deeply to the weak Lin Xiangru, and his heart was full of emotions. Unfortunately, what King Zhao kept in mind was the least important sentence: "How dare you kill the general before the battle is over?!" "
Yes, the war is not over yet! If there is any news at the front line, Zhao Kuo will give up his job and the Qin army counterattacks, he will really go crazy!
After reacting, King Zhao immediately put aside his thoughts of suppressing Zhao Kuo, and accepted Lin Xiangru's advice. He then said with great righteousness: "General, if you have done something inappropriate in the war for the country, we should discuss it later. Let's discuss it now." This crime is extremely inappropriate and is all my fault."
When he said that, Chao Louchang gave a look, and the meaning couldn't be clearer: I am at fault, what about you? Did you make any mistake?
Lou Chang understood immediately and immediately prostrated himself and said, "I am so frightened that I almost misled my king. Please punish me."
He is worthy of being a master of taking the blame.
you!
Then King Zhao looked at Zhao Bao again.
Zhao Bao on the side looked at King Zhao and then at Lou Chang who was kneeling on the ground. Is it so smooth? I just returned it, but why... I was a little at a loss for a moment.
This made Mr. Pingyuan, who was so depressed, not even able to do such an obvious job? He quickly glanced at his silly brother, and then nuzzled at Lou Chang on the ground.
Only then did Lord Pingyang understand. He immediately followed and bowed down, saying, "I know I was wrong."
King Zhao then nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is a discussion of state affairs, and since you already know your mistakes, it is not convenient for me to take the blame again. I will waive my salary for three months as a warning to others."
"Thank you, my king!" The two of them responded in unison.
After dumping the blame, the next step is to appease Zhao Kuo.
"I am very happy to have good news on the front line today!" King Zhao then looked at Lord Pingyuan and said, " Lord Pingyuan, I will take you as the king's envoy, carrying hundreds of loads of wine and thousands of catties of meat, to go to Shangdang to express condolences and praise the troops. You must do it. Encourage all the troops to fight the enemy bravely, and tell them that on the day of victory, I will not hesitate to reward you."
"Yes." King Zhao paused for a moment and continued, "Pingyuan Lord, please temporarily station the army so that you can see our army's heroic performance in killing enemies. You can also join the army in triumph and tell the story to everyone."
Mr. Pingyuan was slightly startled. Do you want to stay in the army?
Then he realized that he was not going to work for the army, but that he was going to supervise the army! Although it should be something to be happy about to gain such trust from King Zhao.
But this is really not a good thing.
But yes, for King Zhao, he was his uncle, who had served in government for many years, and was worthy of trust; for Zhao Kuo, he was his father, an old friend of Ma Fujun Zhao She, and he still had three points of respect no matter how careful he was. Only someone like me who can please both sides can take on such a task.
But, does Zhao Kuo really need to supervise the army? And can he really respect Zhao Kuo?
Even if Zhao Kuo knew that he was there to supervise him, the remaining fireworks would probably disappear.
Or perhaps, this was the result that King Zhao wanted to see: Although it was inconvenient to deal with Zhao Kuo due to the war, he was still quietly arranging a plan to cut off his wings - a divorce plan?
Mr. Pingyuan raised his head and took a deep look at King Zhao, and then immediately rejected his idea - if there was such a city and means, there would be no such rash remarks at the beginning.
Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, facing the request of King Zhao, Lord Pingyuan still bowed and agreed: "Yes, I will obey the king's order."
Then, he looked at Lin Xiangru who had closed his eyes to rest, and sighed in his heart.
