Zhao Sheng's death had a great shock to the entire Zhao Kingdom.

After all, for so many years, this plain monarch has sat firmly on the throne of Xiangbang, and his reputation is quite high in the Zhao State, and there are many subordinates who have served as officials and generals in various parts of the Zhao State, which can be said to have an extremely deep foundation.

Zhao Dan is also very generous to Zhao Sheng, it stands to reason that after Zhao Sheng's death, the title of the prince will begin to descend, and Zhao Sheng's eldest son will inherit the title of a qing, but Zhao Dan made an exception and still made an exception to still make Zhao Sheng's eldest son as the king of Changguo, in order to show his praise for Zhao Sheng's contribution to Zhao Guo.

On the day of the funeral, many important figures of Zhao led by Zhao Dan gathered, and none of the people with heads and faces in the political arena of Zhao State were absent.

sent Zhao Sheng away, and another issue was placed on Zhao Guo's table, and it became a topic of concern for everyone.

Who will be Zhao Sheng's successor?

This has undoubtedly become a topic of concern for everyone.

On this day, it was snowing lightly on Longtai, and Li Mu, the martial artist of Zhao Guo, came to the palace city in his own carriage, and then got off the carriage and walked towards the Longtai in front of him.

He had just walked a few steps when Li Mu was stopped.

"Wu Xiangjun stays!"

Li Mu looked back and found that Zheng Zhu and Li Si happened to come hand in hand.

Li Mu smiled slightly, stopped his steps, and the three of them walked side by side, climbing the steps in front of them step by step.

As he walked, he began to chat.

"Wu Xiangjun, tell me, who will take over the position of Pingyuan Jun's Xiangbang?"

The person who threw this question was Zheng Zhu.

Li Mu glanced at Zheng Zhu and found that although this Secretary of Zhao Guo pretended to be calm, the trace of longing in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed.

Obviously, Zheng Zhu also has a little longing in his heart.

Before Li Mu could speak, Li Si on the side preemptively said, "Wu Xiangjun, maybe you can try to compete." ”

Li Mu smiled, shook his head, and said, "This is impossible. You should also be able to see that the king is now planning to separate the entire civil and military system, and from then on the literati will rule the country and the martial arts will lead the troops. Since I am a martial artist, then this position of Xiangbang has absolutely nothing to do with me. ”

Speaking of which, this is actually a very big change.

For a long time before this, civilian officials and military generals were actually inseparable.

Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and most of the Warring States Period, basically the ministers in the courts of various countries belonged to the kind of officials who could lead the troops on the horse, govern the country under the horse, and cultivate both civil and military.

It was not until the end of the Warring States period that the separation of civil officials and military generals slowly began, and it took ten years to basically determine this matter after Zhao Dan crossed, and now the separation between civilian officials and military generals has been completed.

According to historical records, after Zhao Sheng's death, Lian Po actually served as the minister (acting minister) for a short time, but now this situation is no longer possible in the Zhao state.

As soon as Li Mu's words came out, Zheng Zhu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly exchanged glances with Li Si.

Compared with the Gong Clan faction or the Buyi faction, Li Mu, Li Si and Zheng Zhu's entire alliance is actually a relatively loose one, and there is no too consistent interest between the three of them, just a simple group to keep warm, so as to avoid becoming a person who is accidentally injured when the Buyi faction and the Gong faction fight.

After all, there is a very magical thing in this world called "The eldest and the second one fight, and the third one dies." ”

Li Mu took in the expressions of the two of them, and his heart suddenly understood, and after a pause, he said: "Although I don't know who the king wants, if the king wants me to nominate him, I should recommend Zheng Qing." ”

As soon as Li Mu's words fell, a warm smile suddenly bloomed on Zheng Zhu's face, and he said, "If that's the case, then thank you Wu Xiangjun." ”

The three of them talked and laughed, and walked towards the top of the main hall.

What they didn't know was that at this moment, in the side hall of Longtai, there was actually a conversation going on.

"The minister has seen the king." Lu Buwei respectfully saluted Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan smiled gently and said, "Wen Xinjun, please get up." You've just come from the Prince's side, haven't you? ”

Lu Buwei nodded and said, "Back to the king, because the prince's wife misses her inner son, she specially took her inner son to ask the prince's wife for peace." ”

Zhao Dan smiled: "By the way, there are still many people who don't know the relationship between you and Mrs. Prince, right?" When the crown prince came back from the Qi Kingdom, the widow found a time for him to announce the matter. ”

Speaking of which, because of Lü Buwei's identity as a spy, although Zhao Heng's eldest wife (Crown Princess) has always been Lü Buwei's eldest daughter, very few people know about this matter.

As for what kind of speculation and sensation will be caused after this incident is broken out now, then Zhao Dan doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

Paper can't contain the fire, and the fact that Lu Buwei is a spy will explode sooner or later.

From a historical point of view, people look at things from the perspective of success or defeat, so Zhao Dan is not worried about any infamy.

For example, in the Battle of Changping in history, it was obviously the spies of the Qin State who spread rumors to induce King Zhao Xiaocheng to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, thus making the Zhao State a victim, but which one of the people said did not say that the Qin State was smart and the Zhao State was stupid?

The great beauty of history is destined to be recklessly posed by the victors.

And taking a step back, even if someone has any dissatisfaction after the news breaks, it is completely controllable.

Anyway, in this era when the means of communication are almost isolated, it is simply too easy to control public opinion, not to mention the huge supervision and security team there.

When Lu Buwei heard this, he was naturally overjoyed and said, "Thank you, King!" ”

You must know that although Lü Buwei has been in Longtai for a few months, on the one hand, he has not been assigned any too specific work, and on the other hand, as a subordinate, he is somewhat incompatible with the original Longtai ministers, and he has not fully integrated into it for so long.

If the news that Lü Buwei's daughter is the crown princess of Zhao State breaks out, then it is obvious that Lü Buwei's situation will immediately improve greatly.

Zhao Dan thought about it again, and said: "You are quite familiar with commerce, and the widow is going to set up a ministry of commerce, which is specifically responsible for supervising the merchants of the whole country and mediating the economic situation in the country. ”

Lu Buwei was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Zhao Dan, and found that Zhao Dan was waiting for Lu Buwei's answer with a calm face.

Lü Buwei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Lü Buwei is the minister of the king, the king has an order, and the ministers should do their best to never let the king down!" ”

Zhao Dan looked at Lu Buwei and a smile appeared on his face: "Very good." The people outside have already arrived, so let's go out with the widows. ”
