"What? Want to recruit the elite to guard Handan? ”

King Zhao's eyes widened, and he suddenly shook his head like a rattle, and said, "They are used to guard Handan, if they are transferred abroad, won't Handan be dangerous?" No, it's absolutely not going to work. At this moment, the banquet had dispersed, but Wei Wuji, Yu Qing, Zhao Kuo, and Lian Po stayed. The prime minister and the false appearance, the general and the feudal monarch, these four people are already the highest level of civil and military affairs in the Zhao State.

When King Zhao heard that Zhao Kuo said that the soldiers who could be recruited were the elites who guarded the royal city, King Zhao immediately panicked, this batch of elites, King Zhao was bloody, not only with the best aristocratic officers, but also with the strictest drills, often able to eat the meat rewarded by King Zhao, all of them are burly, brave and good at fighting. At the beginning, the Wei State trained an elite military pawn, and the princes who fought couldn't raise their heads, which was a high imitation of the Wei warriors that King Zhao had the intention to follow.

It is precisely because of the importance that King Zhao will not use them easily, and when he wants to fight on weekdays, he will not put them in the most dangerous place, which is what Lian Po hates the most, which army is not honed from the war? The army that King Zhao valued the most was inferior to the hundred-battle peasants he temporarily recruited from Handan, in Lian Po's opinion. Zhao Kuo saw that King Zhao's attitude was so resolute, and he didn't speak again.

Lian Po said indignantly: "Outside of Handan, where did the thieves come from? Compared to Handan, I am more worried that these useless soldiers will harm Ma Fujun, they have never experienced a vicious battle, and they are definitely not the opponents of the Qin people. Speaking of which, King Zhao really doesn't like Lian Po, this is probably because of Lian Po's honesty, Yu Qing is also an honest person, but at least he won't point at King Zhao and abuse...

There are many generals in Zhao State, because of their military exploits, their titles have been continuously improved, and there are many feudal monarchs, but Lian Po, who has been fighting for decades, is still a Shangqing, and has not been crowned a monarch. It's not unreasonable, Lian Po's straightforwardness will make him say directly in front of others, why I want to be low-minded, and when we meet, I must humiliate him with such words, and his honesty will also make him personally ask him to ask him for guilt after hearing Lin Xiangru's words.

Wei Wuji opened his drunken eyes and looked at King Zhao in front of him, he said, "Shangjun, is Ma Fujun not as good as this elite in your heart?" Such an elite can be trained for you in a year, but where do you want to find a talent like Ma Fujun? Your neglect of the horse is really not something that a wise king can do! ”

King Zhao was speechless for a moment, he stood up, gritted his teeth, wandered back and forth, looked at Zhao Kuo who was sitting in a precarious position, gritted his teeth, and asked: "Then send 10,000 elites, and Ma Fujun will be in command..."

"It turns out that Ma Fujun is only worth 10,000 elites in your heart... I don't know how many elites can the ministers with? Wei Wuji said with emotion.

"Good! All right! Please take them all out! Zhao Wang said distressedly.

King Zhao didn't care how much benefit he could get from rescuing South Korea, and he didn't care how miserable the Koreans would be, he just cared about Ma Fujun, hearing King Zhao's words, Wei Wuji laughed, Zhao Kuo got up and bowed: "Thank you, Shangjun." King Zhao nodded, and said to Zhao Kuo firmly: "You go out this time, if you can, please capture Bai Qi for the widow, and his deputy general Meng Wu... If not, the widow will not blame you, so please don't risk it because of this. ”

If it was in the past, Zhao Kuo would have been very angry, but now that he is familiar with King Zhao's personality, Zhao Kuo must not be surprised, this King Zhao has always believed that he can capture Bai Qi, Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "If I can, I will definitely capture him." ”

King Zhao was happy at this time, because he knew that Ma Fujun would never lie to him, and thinking that it was possible to let a military general like Bai Qi stay in Zhao State, King Zhao left the 20,000 elites behind. In fact, King Zhao still has a lot to say to Zhao Kuo, but Wei Wuji didn't give him this opportunity, he and Zhao Kuo still have a lot of important government affairs to discuss, how can you keep staying in the palace?

Wei Wuji took Zhao Kuo away, and King Zhao reluctantly sent them away, looking at the remaining Yu Qing and Lian Po, suddenly, King Zhao didn't have the heart to chat anymore, and directly let them go back to rest sullenly.

Sitting in the courtyard, Wei Wuji's doormen pulled Zhao Kuo's doormen to drink, Wei Wuji's reputation in Handan is now very poor, and the series of changes he promoted have harmed a lot of people, especially after he took away the appointment power of local officials, it has caused public anger, the original local officials, are directly appointed by the superior officials, that is, to arrange their own doormen and cronies, and now Wei Wuji has taken away their power, which has a huge impact on them.

Why do the doormen follow them? They can't rely on the personal charm of the demon like Zhao Kuo to get the smile of the doormen, the doormen help them, naturally in order to get a reward, and those who come to give gifts and want to make friends with them are also interested in the power in their hands. Wei Wuji's approach can be said to have angered all the nobles, especially after adding the order that the recommender is guilty of the same crime, this hatred of him is already extremely huge.

Even the ministers in the palace didn't dare to recommend their friends at will, and the culprit of all this was Wei Wuji!

Therefore, the dirty water is flying all over the sky, that is, where there is a disaster in Zhao Di, this is Wei Wuji's fault, and Wei Wuji himself drinks and has fun every day, after drinking, he kills the people at will, robs the people's daughters, and connives, the most terrible thing is his doorman, they all say that Wei Wuji's doorman is good at eating people, and when he encounters a lone person, he will catch it and eat it. In such an atmosphere, Wei Wuji's protégés were not welcome everywhere.

Only Ma Fujun's doormen are still very close to them, before Zhao Kuo left, he left Li Yu to take his guests to support the people, Li Yu stayed in Mafu after completing the mission, and there were often Wei Wuji's cannibal doormen to find him, Li Yu was very warm to entertain them, and did not dislike them. Wei Wuji's disciples have Wei Wuji's temperament, Wei Wuji was once in the palace, and was repeatedly refuted by Zhao Hui, he walked to Zhao Hui's side and said to Zhao Hui: If you speak again, I will eat you at night.

Zhao Hui's face was pale, he didn't say a word, and he lay on the sickbed for sixteen days.

Wei Wuji's doormen, too, often got together and chatted happily about cannibalism, so frightened that the rest of the people avoided and didn't dare to approach.

When Wei Wuji's doorman smiled and talked to Di about cannibalism, Di came to his senses, licked his lips, and asked, "Is it delicious?" At this moment, Wei Wuji's doormen were frightened enough, and hurriedly dodged away, not daring to approach.

Wei Wuji looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him, Zhao Kuo still didn't drink, his brows were tightly locked, and he still looked melancholy, Wei Wuji said with a smile: "When you traveled, I also did a lot of things. He paused, and then said seriously: "I punished those officials who fish and flesh the common people, punished the ministers who recommended them, abolished the appointment and dismissal of low-level officials, and established a system of the same crime for those who recommend..."

"The assessment of local officials is not a simple matter, and it is only being implemented in Handan County... Yu Qing is a talented person, he has set up different examination questions for different positions, and recruited 63 qualified officials, which have been sent to all parts of Handan County, but the county order and county Cheng are embarrassed by these officials who have passed the assessment, and 21 people have been forced to resign and leave... It's not an easy thing to do. ”

"In my opinion, only by changing the county order and others can the purpose of rectifying the rule of officials be achieved, otherwise, in the locality, they will be bullied everywhere and will not be able to do anything..."

Zhao Kuo was a little surprised, his old ideas, Wei Wuji was really implementing them, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be a little scared in his heart, he didn't know if the improvements he proposed were really suitable for this era, and whether they could do anything for the people of Zhao State. Wei Wuji seemed to see Zhao Kuo's thoughts, and he said with a smile: "Please don't worry, this is a good thing, the officials selected by Yu Qing are all qualified officials, at least they won't even be unclear about taxes..."

"The position of the county order is now to be appointed by the king, if it also passes the assessment, I am afraid... Shangjun will not agree, I wonder if you have any way? ”

Zhao Kuo raised his head and said: "The reason why they embarrass those officials is that they want to take back their power and sabotage the reform, if we can establish a mature supervision system, those with political achievements can be promoted, and those without political achievements will be dismissed, so that even if it is for themselves, they can only accept these capable officials and use their strength to improve their political performance..."

"What kind of monitoring system?"

"The Emperor will appoint upright people to serve as assassins in the counties, and the Assassins must not interfere in local government affairs, and there are postal governors under his command who can be dispatched, and the Metropolitan Posts will inspect the places and report misdeeds, and the Assassin will inform the Emperor of the local achievements and mistakes at the end of the year, and the promotion and dismissal of officials will be carried out accordingly...", Wei Wuji lowered his head and muttered: "Shou, captain, prison...", he raised his head suddenly, and said with a smile: "What you said is very reasonable. ”

"Locally, you can follow the example of the Qin State, add a pawn in the county, set up a rank in the township, wander, and set up a pavilion chief Likui...."

The two talked about it, from the local point of view to the palace, from taxation to nongsang, and talked until the morning, Zhao Kuo rested in Wei Wuji's mansion for a long time, and when he got up, there were already many distinguished guests in Wei Wuji's courtyard, all of whom came to visit him. The first to visit him was naturally Dong Chengzi, Dong Chengzi has been busy writing the law during this time, Dong Chengzi initially thought it was not difficult, until he began to lose his hair....

Fortunately, there is a formed Qin law for his reference, otherwise, Dong Chengzi is afraid that he will be killed.

Dong Chengzi brought the part he had written and handed it to Zhao Kuo to check, Dong Chengzi revised the law of Zhao on the basis of Qin law, which is a weakened version of Qin law, exempted from some capital crimes, for example, the crime of private fighting, the crime of loitering, Dong Chengzi has made appropriate changes, in the Qin State, fighting with others privately, you will be cut off your beard and hair, and you will also be arrested if you wander outside for no reason...

In Dong Chengzi's law, when fighting with others, those who have faults will lose money, and those who passively fight back will not be held accountable.

is like this, Zhao Kuo looked at these laws, and said to Dong Chengzi: "The laws that are not comprehensive enough cannot be used to govern the country, clothing, food, housing, transportation, all aspects must be included in the law, what is the crime of lending a house to someone who cannot prove his identity to live?" What kind of crime is it to get sick after eating a meal from a restaurant? What kind of punishment should be imposed on a nobleman's carriage that injures a common man, or kills a poultry or livestock? ”

"If the law is only a serious crime, and does not involve civil affairs, and does not involve commerce, it is rudimentary..."

Dong Chengzi was dizzy when he heard this, and couldn't help but rub his forehead, it involves all aspects?? How long do you have to write it yourself? When Dong Chengzi asked his question, Zhao Kuo said to him seriously: "The perfect law can be used for thousands of years, how can it be completed in a hurry?" ”

Dong Chengzi had no choice but to ask people to take these bamboo slips and bow to Zhao Kuo, and then left, he swore to Zhao Kuo that he would conscientiously complete this law of Zhao State.

After he left, it was Pang Xuan, Lian Po, Yu Qing and others, they all came to inquire about government affairs, Pang Xuan asked about the official system in the palace, Lian Po asked about the military system, and even Lou Yan came. Zhao Kuo looked at the Lou Chuan in front of him in a complicated way, Lou Slow's son Lou Chang, because his son was killed, he didn't know where he was, and Lou Chuan didn't seem to care about this, and he didn't even have much complaint about the "murderer" Dong Chengzi who directly caused this result.

This made Zhao Kuo feel a little puzzled, Lou Chuan came to ask about Nongsang, and after getting Zhao Kuo's answer, he asked with a smile: "There is a friend of Xianyang who wants me to thank you for your kindness, and thank you for taking in his wife and son." Sure enough, he came for another purpose, Zhao Kuo said: "I can send his wife and son to Xianyang and let them return to him." ”

"You don't have to... Now that the war is raging again, there are many inconveniences. Lou said slowly, he took out a bamboo slip, put it in front of Zhao Kuo, smiled, and left.

Zhao Kuo picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it seriously.

"The barbarians don't know the truth of benevolence, so they need a wise gentleman to teach them, the widow hears of your reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and wants to invite you to come to the Qin country to teach the Qin people, and when you arrive, the widow will come out of Xianyang thirty miles to greet you, and personally drive for you... The widow knows that the people of the world have suffered from the war, and his heart is also very sad, and he wants to end the war and treat the people under his command with kindness, but there is no one around him to ask for advice..."

Zhao Kuo was stunned, this is the letter that King Qin gave him??

.......

Xianyang

"What do you say? Ma Fujun may lead his troops to the battle?? King Qin looked at Fan Ju in front of him in surprise.

"When I received the report, he had already rushed to Daijun, and now, he should have arrived in Handan, he is going to send troops to South Korea, and King Zhao will not refuse him." , Fan Ju said seriously, King Qin looked very worried, frowning, fidgeting, Fan Ju smiled and said: "Please don't worry, although Ma Fujun is talented, he can't affect the overall situation, Wu Anjun will not let him save South Korea." ”

"The widow is not worried about this... The widow is worried that Wu Anjun will hurt Ma Fujun..."

"It's better to let the widow give the order to Wu Anjun to be captured... No, it's to bring Ma Fujun to the Qin State, and he must not be harmed... What do you think? ”
