Chapter 259: Shang Ying and the Prince
At this moment, spiritual ripples rippled out from Liu Ping's head, fluctuating towards the surroundings like waves, qualitative and intangible, and only those who comprehended the talent could detect it.
"Congratulations." Zhao Kuo said happily.
Liu Ping and Ben are the old men left for him by his father, and they are also the people he trusts the most, and when he sees Liu Ping come to this point, his heart will naturally be happy for him.
Liu Ping's talent is not bad, but it is still incomparable with the top handful, and he had no chance to comprehend the talent, but Zhao Kuo handed over all the information of the entire Zhao State to him. In the face of this kind of heavy responsibility, Liu Ping didn't dare to make any mistakes, he could only keep learning, keep asking people for advice, and even kept failing in the battle with the Xuanniao Division of the Qin State, making progress little by little, and now he has finally reached the limit of ordinary people, and he is only one step away from sublimation.
"It's a pity that it's still one step away." Liu Ping sighed, this step may be able to be taken tomorrow, or it may be like Jin Contempt, who will not be able to take it for ten years.
"Can you feel the effect of talent?" Zhao Kuo said.
"A glimpse of the whole leopard: based on limited information, deduce the ins and outs. The more information you know, the more complete the results will be. Liu Ping said.
"Very talented." Zhao Kuo nodded. "Don't rush, just let it be. Being able to feel the effects means that you are not far from taking that step. ”
"Then the subordinates will borrow the king's auspicious words." Liu Ping said with a smile.
"What is the identity of that mine manager Wang He?" Zhao Kuo pulled the topic back.
"It's just an ordinary person, his ancestral home is the Jinyang Wang family, but he didn't come out more than a hundred years ago, his father did some small business, and the family still has some assets. When I was young, I studied Confucius and Mencius, Huang Lao, Zongheng, Legalism, Yang Zhu ......"
"I've learned so many schools...... It's also a talent. Zhao Kuo said casually.
"But I haven't learned anything famous. After his father died, he returned home to inherit the family business. Later, he was awarded the position of mine manager through a recruitment order. Liu Ping continued.
"Officials appointed through the recruitment order, then I should have seen it." Zhao Kuo said.
All the talents recruited by the recruitment order, Zhao Kuo all set up banquets to entertain, but except for some famous ones, most of them were dozens or hundreds of banquets together, and they passed after meeting. Even if Zhao Kuo tried his best to remember, most of them still forgot about it as soon as he turned his face.
"You go and investigate this matter yourself, and I want to find out the forces behind it." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
Now it is no longer a simple corruption, but the people behind it want to drive a wedge between Zhao Kuo and his ministers.
During this time, although he won the hearts of the people through various measures, he also offended some people. These people are intricately intricate, and they are hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to find out without showing their heads.
But the other party is not brain-dead, it is impossible to jump out and fight against Zhao Kuo, at most he will use some small means behind his back, such as this time.
"No." Liu Ping said with his fists clenched.
"It's best that I think about it too much, otherwise ......" Zhao Kuo looked at the snow outside the window that had not yet melted, and muttered, but no matter whether there was anyone behind him or not, Zhao Kuo had to punish Zhao Tang, "Come on." ”
"The King." A eunuch walked in, leaned over and said.
"Go and invite Pingyang-kun." Zhao Kuo said.
"No."
……
More than two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Bao stepped into the study and said, "Wang, are you looking for me?" ”
"In private, the middle father doesn't have to salute." Zhao Kuo pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Zhao Bao to sit.
After Zhao Bao sat down, Zhao Kuo put the information that Liu Ping had just sent in front of him and said, "Father Zhong, take a look." ”
Zhao Bao took the information, opened it and looked at it, his face changed in an instant, and he said in a lost voice: "This ...... The matter ...... True? ”
"Kong Bin personally checked it." Zhao Kuo said.
"The ministers are not strict with their sons, and they ask the king to atone for their sins." Hearing Kong Bin's verification, Zhao Bao suddenly no longer doubted the authenticity of the matter. At the beginning, the king of Wei didn't give Kong Bin face, Kong Bin directly picked his son and ran home to farm, and it was absolutely impossible to frame his son.
"The middle father sits first." Zhao Kuo said.
Zhao Bao saw that Zhao Kuo's attitude was quite gentle, sat down again, and looked at Zhao Kuo.
"What is my cousin's character, and what he has done over the years, the middle father should know very well. Father Zhong thinks he will take the initiative to be greedy for this money? Zhao Kuo said.
"What does the king mean......" Zhao Bao suddenly realized, "The minister asks for orders to go to Yanmen, even if the group of people hide deeply, the minister will find them out." ”
Whether it is active or passive, things have been done, but Zhao Bao must let the group of guys who used his son be torn to pieces.
"I've already sent Liu Ping over." Zhao Kuo said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Bao arched his hand and said.
With Liu Ping here, at least he can guarantee that his son will not have other accidents.
"What does Father Zhong think of the current situation in my Zhao Kingdom?" Zhao Kuo said suddenly.
"The situation in my Zhao country ...... That's good. Zhao Bao didn't know why.
Zhao is now thriving, the people live and work in peace and contentment, although there are still some small problems, but compared with before, it has improved a lot.
"Definitely. My Zhao Kingdom seems to be thriving, but in fact, I have been walking on the tip of a knife. The surrounding countries are all enemies of our Zhao State, Qin Qiyan needless to say, the Wei State has also been looking for an opportunity to take back Ye County. Once my Zhao Kingdom is weakened, they will pounce on me like wolves and eat my Zhao Kingdom. If I want to survive, there is only one way, and that is to be strong all the time. And if you want to stay strong, the only way is to reform. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Bao gradually understood what Zhao Kuo meant.
"I wonder if the middle father has heard the story of Shang Ying and the crown prince?" Zhao Kuo asked again.
At this time, Zhao Bao had fully understood what Zhao Kuo meant.
At the beginning, Shang Ying changed the law, and the new law could not be implemented for a long time, and at this time, King Qin Huiwen, who was still the crown prince, violated the new law, and Shang Ying did not choose to open the net, but chose to deal with it according to law.
It was only because the crown prince was the prince and could not impose criminal laws, so he punished the teacher of King Qin Huiwen.
Since then, the new law has been rapidly implemented in the Qin state.
"The minister thinks that whoever violates the law must be dealt with according to the law." Zhao Bao gritted his teeth and said.
"The middle father really understands the righteousness." Zhao Kuo arched his hand and said, "I heard that the other two cousins, one is in the army, and the other is at home, and they have been supporting willows for a period of time, and they are deeply loved by the local people. ”
"The dog did do a willow order for a while." Zhao Bao nodded.
"Now that I, the Zhao State and the Wei State, have formed an alliance, and there will be no war on the southern border in the short term, it is not suitable for Meng Yu to lead the army as the county guard. The widow planned to remove Meng Fu and take charge of training the troops with General Pang Xuan. In this way, the position of the county guard of Yejun is vacant, and the widow wants to let his cousin take it, I don't know what the middle father wants? Zhao Kuo asked.
This can be regarded as a compensation for Zhao Bao, Yecheng was once the capital of Wei, and Yejun was also a large county of Zhao, second only to Handan in wealth.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After a few breaths, Zhao Bao arched his hand and said.
