After Cao Wan waited at the palace gate for a while, he saw a group of people walking towards the palace, and the guards were guarding Zhao Wang Luan.

Luan stopped in front of the palace gate, Zhao Xie came out, and when he saw Cao Wan here, he thought that the case should have progressed.

After Cao finished the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, he said again: "The king, the minister has found the evidence of Gong Zhi's crime. ”

Zhao Xie's face was happy, and he praised it, the weather was cold, so he would go back to the palace first and then talk in detail.

Passing through the round door on the side of the Dezheng Palace, I saw Zhao Qian at the door of the study.

When Zhao Qian saw her husband, she took the cloak from the palace maid and hurriedly greeted her.

"You're back, my lord!"

Zhao Qian's expression was full of concern, and she draped the cloak on her husband's body.

Now that it is much warmer, Zhao Xie is not only warm in his body, but also in his heart.

Zhao Qian saw the courtiers who came with her husband, and said softly: "King, political affairs are important, and the concubine will wait for you to finish eating together." ”

Zhao Xie nodded in response.

Zhao Qian walked in the direction of the harem, and the palace maid followed with a lantern.

Zhao Xie looked at her back and sighed in his heart, the beautiful wife that God gave me is really good.

There was still business to do, Zhao Xie quickly came back to his senses, entered the study, and Cao Wan briefly recounted the events of the afternoon, making Zhao Xie frown.

He immediately thought that if Gong Zhi defected to the enemy army, he would definitely reveal what he knew about the situation of Zhao to his opponent.

Zhao Xie immediately ordered someone to give Zhuo Zhongkai an order, asking him to send cavalry to search Gong Zhi in the area of Xiangguo and the important entrances and exits of Zhao.

However, this does not hold out much hope, Gong Zhi is not a fool, it is impossible to take the big road that is easy to be discovered by the soldiers, he will definitely choose the small road to leave Zhao State, and the probability of being able to search is not large.

Cao Wan said: "The king, the minister suggested that Gong Zhi's mansion be raided, and his master book, general manager, and account office property should also be confiscated; In addition, in order to prevent Lu Tian from escaping like Gong Zhi, he should be temporarily placed under house arrest; In addition, Gong Zhi absconded in fear of the crime and should be reported to the whole country. ”

Zhao Xie nodded and said, "You handle it quickly." ”

"No!" Cao Wan was ordered to go out.

Zhao Xie thought that Gong Zhi had embezzled so much military salary, and he should be able to find a lot of money. It's a pity that no direct evidence of Chen Yu's involvement was found, at most he was given a crime of improper employment, which was not enough to deal a fatal blow to Chen Yu.

In the small alley next to Lu Tian's mansion, it was dark at night, but there were three people here, in addition to Lu Tian, there were two burly men.

Lu Tian said: "Please, two of you!" ”

Da Hanjia said: "Don't worry, general, Li Zuoche can't run!" ”

Dahan Yi said: "The general saved my life, and now is the time to repay it!" ”

Immediately, the two went out from the side of the alley.

Lu Tian said to himself viciously: "Li Zuoche, if you can take my life, I will also want your life!" ”

He came out of the other side of the alley and returned to the mansion.

This afternoon, another team of Sikou Yamen collected all the personnel files in the Lu Tian official office and moved them back. Lu Tian believes that it can't be found out just from the files, but he understands Cao Wan, this cool official is very set, and if he starts the investigation from other aspects, he can find out the evidence of the crime.

In the palace, after Zhao Xie finished talking to Cao, it was already five o'clock, he stretched his waist and walked towards the dining room.

In the corner of the dining room, Zhao Qian was passing the time as a female celebrity, and she was also hungry, but insisted on waiting for her husband to finish eating together.

At this time, Zhao Xie came to the dining room, and Zhao Qian immediately stopped and ordered someone to serve the food.

"King, I'm so busy with political affairs, I'm hungry!"

"I've kept you waiting, I'm hungry!"

The maid quickly brought the steaming meal.

The two of them were eating with chopsticks, and the north wind was howling outside, but the house was warm.

After eating and drinking, we will take a bath together and then return to the dormitory.

The hair was not yet dry, and the couple were communicating.

"King, your decision is very bold, 'eclectic and talented', incisive and unique, well said!"

As Zhao Xie, who has traveled through the modern era, sometimes comes up with words that are not available in this era.

"If there are no extraordinary measures, can it be that we resist Han Xin's army, which will attack again soon, this is all to defend the Zhao State. Also, protect my lady! ”

Zhao Qianqiao showed a charming smile on her face, and her heart was sweet.

"King, can you allow the concubine to ask, did you deliberately pretend to be weak in the past?"

Her bright eyes stared at the wise and martial husband in front of her. In fact, she herself decided that this was the case, and she was just talking to her husband.

For this issue, from the ministers to the ordinary soldiers, many people think so.

Zhao Xie didn't want to answer so clearly, so he responded with his jaw.

In Zhao Qian's heart, the husband knows how to forbear, turn the tide at a critical moment, and restore his original appearance at the right time.

She must do her best to help her husband.

"The king, you only know the noble identity of the concubine, and the concubine has not mentioned to you her childhood experience, so now I will tell you in detail."

In the past, Zhao Xie was happy because he had a beautiful wife, and he did not have in-depth communication with Zhao Qian.

Immediately, Zhao Qian told in detail the experience from birth to marrying King Zhao.

Shortly after Zhao Qian was born, her mother died of illness and was breastfed by a nurse.

At the time of her birth, Zhao Guogang was destroyed by the Qin State, and in order not to be discovered by the Qin army, her father lived with her in the place provided by the nurse and concealed his identity.

Later, I learned that the nurse was a Mo family ink man, and her father followed several ink artists and relied on participating in handicraft labor to make a living.

It wasn't until more than three years ago that Zhao returned to the country, and Zhao Qian and her father resumed their original identities.

At the end of last year, Zhao Qian's father unfortunately passed away.

Listening to Zhao Qian's life experience, it turned out that his wife still had this relationship with the Mo family, and Zhao Xie had a sense of brightness.

Zhao Qian said: "King, you have to recruit talents from all over the world, there is no shortage of talented and capable people in the Mo family, and you can know the high-level of the Mo family through the nurse." The nurse lives in Quyang, in a workshop in the county seat, so she can send someone to take her over first. However, the ideas of the Mohists were difficult to be adopted by the kings of various countries before, and there were great differences with Confucianism. As long as the concubine can help, she must go all out. ”

The unexpected discovery of Qian Yun has made Zhao Xie happy, and his wife can contact the Mo family, which is even more joyful.

As for how to persuade the Mo family to work for him, Zhao Xie had already considered it before.

Mohists are mainly divided into two main parts. The first is the ideological proposition, which mainly includes: equal love between people (concurrent love), opposition to aggressive wars (non-offensive), advocating economy and opposing extravagance and waste (thrift), attaching importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors (Ming ghosts), and mastering the laws of nature (Tianzhi).

There is a huge difference between Mohist thought and Confucianism, and the essential difference is the difference in the interests (social basis) represented. The Mohists represented the interests of the common class, including small urban craftsmen, small merchants, peasants, and lower-class officials, and advocated equality for all.

Confucianism, on the other hand, represents the interests of the ruling class, serves the rulers, and clarifies class distinctions.

From a modern point of view, Mohist thought is progressive, but in feudal society, it is obviously out of place.

In addition to ideological ideas, Mohists also paid attention to scientific research, and had major achievements in mechanics, geometry, algebra, optics, etc., which were beyond the reach of other schools from the Warring States Period to the early Western Han Dynasty.

For example, Mozi, the founder of the Mohist school, was not only a thinker, but also a scientist.

Zhao Xie valued the Mohists not in terms of ideological propositions, but in science and technology, and wanted the Mohists to serve him in terms of technology.

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you for everything you did for me!"

Zhao Xie hugged Zhao Qian in his arms.

Although leaning on her husband's arms, Zhao Xie's thoughts were still stuck in political affairs, and he soon thought of another question.

"The King..."

Zhao Qian first broke free of his embrace and said: "First Guangwujun impeached Chen Yu, and then you let Cao Wan investigate and punish Lu Tian and Gong Zhi, the three of them will definitely hate Guangwujun to death, be careful of their revenge." ”

That's right! Zhao Xie thought about it, he was busy with work all day, and he didn't take this aspect into account for a while, but fortunately, his wife reminded him.

He walked out of the dormitory and ordered someone to give Yang Fu an order, and dispatched two hundred soldiers to protect Li Zuoche and his family.

After a busy day, I can finally rest, and the lights in the dormitory are turned off......
