With King Zhao's character, it's not impossible, but very possible.
Because the reactions of the various countries will tell King Zhao that his handling of Zhao Kuo was careless. However, those in power often do not admit their mistakes, but will adopt more cruel methods to completely solve the source of the mistakes.
Since Zhao Kuo cannot be retained, it is better to simply kill him than to let Zhao Kuo ascend to another family and attack Zhao in turn! Since you have already made a mistake, you might as well stick to it until the end. Even if you criticize with words and writings, it will be a long history, but it is better than the danger of national subjugation.
Zhao Kuo asked himself, if he were the king of Zhao, he would make up his mind decisively in such a situation. Before Zhao Kuo left the country, he would take advantage of it and eradicate it.
Of course, Zhao Kuo also knew very well that killing himself was not that simple.
Explicit killing will not only mean that the master is unknown, but will also encounter strong opposition from both inside and outside the court. In the end, even in the end, no one can be found to execute it, and even if it is sent out, it will inevitably lead to a big turmoil in the court, and even completely of rupture.
Not to mention that Zhao Kuo's own martial arts skills were not bad, and he also had personal guards around him. Whether the assassination could succeed is a matter of speculation. Even if it succeeded, Zhao Kuo's courtiers would be in panic from now on.
Therefore, no matter what, even if King Zhao wants to kill himself, he must pay a huge price. Based on this, as long as King Zhao is not stupid, he will never take action easily. Until the last moment, as a last resort, even King Zhao cannot risk the disapproval of the world.
Now, what Zhao Kuo has to do is to save the matter from "last resort". We must express our position clearly and forcefully to King Zhao and all Zhao subjects. Of course, just in case, the strength around you also needs to be strengthened. The number of personal guards
Zhao Kuo, who had already made up his mind, immediately handed the two greeting cards back to his family elders and said, "When I returned to the two of them, I said: Your Majesty is ill and it is inconvenient to see the guests. The Zhao Mansion will immediately close the door to thank the guests! Gifts!" I will not accept any of the other things, and if you tell me to go down, if there is anyone who knows someone from the inside, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes." The elder immediately accepted the order.
Mother Zhao on the side was also happy when she saw her son's decisive action. As the wife of Ma Fujun and the mother of Zhao Kuo, how could she not know the meaning of the two people from outside the house bringing heavy gifts under the current circumstances.
But Zhao's mother said nothing about this, and Zhao Kuo had full power to make the decision. Of course, if Zhao Kuo wanted to defect to another country to save his life or make great achievements, as a mother, Zhao Kuo would not stop him; but after all, as a Zhao native, Zhao Kuo would naturally prefer Zhao Kuo to stay. Zhao State, defend Zhao State.
Fortunately, Zhao Kuo's final choice did not disappoint Zhao's mother.
As a result, the envoys of Qin and Wei who stood stupidly in front of the Zhao Mansion, in the end no one was able to enter the Zhao Mansion, and they couldn't even leave any gifts.
Although the two of them were a little surprised, after all, as envoys of a country, it was still rare to be rejected so simply. But the two of them are not discouraged. One thing is that today is in a hurry. Zhao Kuo has just been sentenced, so it is normal to thank guests behind closed doors. What's more, inviting people to come out is not that simple.
Then the two of them didn't stay much, clasped their fists and bowed, and left in a hurry. All I was thinking about along the way was how to enter the Zhao Mansion next time.
Soon, the news that envoys from Qin and Wei were rejected when they came to visit Zhao Kuo spread like wildfire. Even after the two left, the door of Zhao Kuo's house was clearly hung with a sign saying "Thank you". All this not only did not stop envoys from various countries from visiting, but also inspired their enthusiasm!
One by one, they carried the best gold sore medicine and ran to the Zhao Mansion. They were afraid of falling behind. They didn't even ask to see Zhao Kuo, but just asked the concierge to keep the gold sore medicine they brought and give it to General Zhao Kuo for them. Please send me a greeting card.
It's a pity that the elders and concierges who have received strict orders still dare to do things for them, let alone greetings. Being able to open a small door and come out to deal with them is already considered a courtesy.
As a result, the envoys from Qin and Wei who arrived first were the only ones who allowed Zhao Kuo to see the state's greetings. It was not in vain that the two messengers came and went in a hurry.
However, even if they could not see Zhao Kuo or send greetings, envoys from various countries did not give up and sent their servants to guard the door of Zhao Kuo one after another, in order to get information the moment Zhao Kuo opened the door.
interest. Without him, Zhao Kuo is too unique and too important.
Among the countries, the Qin envoy was still the most ruthless one - he actually arranged for three groups of more than a dozen boys to take turns waiting in front of the Zhao Mansion in three shifts.
Someone under his command advised the Qin envoy: "It's not necessary to work in three shifts!" It is impossible for the Zhao Mansion to open its doors to welcome guests at night. Just go and watch it alone at dawn in the morning!
The Qin envoy didn't take it seriously at all, but silently warned his subordinates: "This is an attitude! The attitude of the Qin State, an attitude of thirsting for talents! An attitude of being determined to win! Do you understand! The intention of the three shifts is to Tell General Zhao Kuo: At any time, our great Qin will welcome talents like General Zhao with open arms! I am also willing to go to the Zhao Mansion to discuss at any time! It is also telling the people of the world: As long as you have talent, Qin is your best A place to show off your talents!"
All the men were amazed!
But it was only then that our Comrade Zhao Wang discovered: He seemed to have made a mistake!
King Zhao broke many utensils in the palace to vent his anger and depression. Zhao Kuo, this popular person, is being targeted by others!
Qin people, how could you? How dare you!
Zhao Kuo just killed hundreds of thousands of your troops! Don’t we need to consider the thoughts of gay people in China? Isn't Wu'an Lord Bai Qi the promised war god of Qin? How come you forgot so quickly? Didn't it say that a grand ceremony to welcome the coffin was held at Hangu Pass, or that the King of Qin personally carried it and hundreds of officials knelt to welcome it? Is the tea getting cold when people leave so soon?
Who can tell me, is it because the world is changing so fast or because I just don’t understand?
King Zhao is really anxious and angry! The reason why I dared to attack Zhao Kuo was that I was sure that Zhao Kuo was a native of Zhao, so I wanted to set rules for Zhao Kuo as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that Qin, Wei, and even other countries would not follow the rules. Play your cards!
What to do now?
He made a great contribution and saved the Zhao country from danger, but was given the imperial stick by himself. Even if he loved his motherland, wouldn't he feel a little bit uncomfortable in his heart? Will Qin not be moved at all by the carts and carts of priceless gifts? Will the Qin envoys be guarded by more than a dozen people, and will they not be moved at all?
Undoubtedly, the actions of the envoys from various countries not only made King Zhao somewhat vulnerable, but even his trust in Zhao Kuo dropped a bit. Even Zhao Kuo didn't even let the envoys of Qin and Wei in.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it will take ten, a hundred or even a thousand times of effort to get rid of them.
Obviously, King Zhao did not have such perseverance, and Zhao Kuo did not need King Zhao's so-called trust.
