Zhao Kuo, who had already fallen to the cabinet system in his heart, hesitated for a while. Now that the cabinet system has been taken out, what are the six ministries still kept? There are six ministries, and the nine-grade official system is still hidden?!

It's just that in this way, the project is huge!

"My king, the king of the plains asks to see me." Just as Zhao Kuo was thinking about whether to promote the reform of the official system and how to implement the reform, the voice of the eunuch order suddenly came from outside the door.

"Oh?" Zhao Kuo was surprised, he really came whatever he wanted!

Zhao Kuo knows very well that whether it is to implement the cabinet system or to completely reform the official system, the most important thing is to get the support of Ping Yuanjun.

Of course, Zhao Kuo absolutely believed that Pingyuanjun would not oppose his ideas, but whether it was out of the idea of checking and filling in the gaps, or out of respect for Pingyuanjun, he had to discuss it with Pingyuanjun in detail first.

No, I was thinking about whether to summon Pingyuanjun into the palace overnight, but I didn't want to, Pingyuanjun had already come to the palace to ask for a meeting.

"Biography!" Zhao Kuo said immediately.

"Yes." The voice of the eunuch order came from outside the door again.

"Your Majesty, Weichen ......" Lu Buwei immediately got up when he heard this, and said goodbye to Zhao Kuo: "The Plains King is coming at night, there must be something important, do you want to avoid it." ”

"There is no need to avoid it, there is no one who loves Qing and cannot know about the affairs of Zhao Guo." Zhao Kuo immediately waved his hand.

Don't underestimate the phrase "there is no know", this is even more useful than a doctor's position.

"Thank you, my king." Lu Buwei immediately thanked him, and then sat down on Zhao Kuo's left hand position, leaving the upper position of his right hand to the upcoming Pingyuan Jun.

In just a few moments, Pingyuanjun came to the front of the palace.

The sound of "squeak" came, and it was the eunuch Ling gently pushing open the door of the palace. In the dark, Pingyuan Jun walked quickly in front of Zhao Kuo.

"I've seen my king." Pingyuanjun clasped his fists and saluted.

"Pingyuan-kun doesn't need to be polite, sit." Zhao Kuoxu picked up Pingyuanjun and said with a smile.

"It's a coincidence today, the widow and Lu Qing just talked about reform, and I was thinking about whether to disturb Pingyuanjun, but I don't want Pingyuanjun to come first?" Zhao Kuo saw Pingyuanjun sitting down, and immediately said with a smile: "I don't know what Pingyuanjun is here?" ”

"My king." Pingyuan Jun straightened up slightly and said, "This time I entered the palace for the sake of diplomatic relations. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Kuo frowned slightly, Zhao Kuo knew that "diplomacy is no trivial matter", and Pingyuan Jun came in the starry night, I am afraid that the matter is not small, when he asked: "But what is abnormal on the side of Chu State?" ”

Zhao Kuo's question should be said to be to the point.

Now in the diplomatic relations between the six countries, Qin and Yan are hostile, and there is no need to consider the alliance of diplomatic relations; Han and Wei are weak, and they will not dare to be enemies of Zhao State, so naturally they don't need to care too much; As for Qi Guo, others don't know, Zhao Kuo still doesn't know what kind of virtue they are.

The only variable, but the ally that Zhao must take, is Chu. Only the alliance of Zhao and Chu can contain the offensive of Qin in the south and the north.

It's just that it shouldn't be, in the Ming Ming Dynasty, Chu Guo is still very cooperative with himself, why did he change his hexagram in a day's work? What's more, the alliance between the two families is beneficial to the Zhao State, but it is also more beneficial to the Chu State!

How can it be changed?

Pingyuan Jun obviously also saw Zhao Kuo's puzzlement, and immediately smiled: "My king has misunderstood, whether it is Qi, Han, Wei, or Chu, they all talk to me and Yu Qing about Sheng Huan. The state of Chu is even more urgent and active than us in the matter of forming an alliance against Qin. ”

"This?" Zhao Kuo was even more confused when he heard this, and continued to ask: "Qin, Yan still have repeats?" ”

"My king can rest assured, the Yan State has already admitted defeat, and the Qin State is ready to return to Xianyang, and the national document for peace is already being drafted, and there has been no repetition." Pingyuan Jun hurriedly continued to reply: "I am here, but it is the envoy of the Chu State who has made a request to our country. Weichen couldn't call the shots, so he entered the palace to present my king and queen mother. ”

"The Queen Mother?" Zhao Kuo was even more confused, although there is no rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics now, but obviously his mother has not thought about interfering in political affairs.

"Yes, yes." Without waiting for Zhao Kuo to continue to think nonsense, Pingyuan Jun said with a smile: "The envoy of Chu heard that my queen's palace was empty, and wanted to serve my king as a royal daughter, and marry me Zhao Guocheng." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo was still stunned, but Lu Buwei on the side was stunned, and immediately smiled and bowed to Zhao Kuo: "Congratulations to my king." ”

Listening to Lu Buwei's congratulatory words, Zhao Kuo knew that this was Lu Buwei reminding himself that it was best to take over this matter.

The reason is simple – inheritance!

If there are any weaknesses in Zhao Kuo now, then the biggest weakness is that Zhao Kuo is still single, although this is also related to Zhao Kuo's age, but there are no descendants, in this era, it is not so reassuring.

Descendants are not only the transmission of blood, but also the inheritance of rights. Such inheritance can be said to be very important in the feudal society of the world. This also has the so-called "unfilial piety has three, no queen is great" and other words.

From a practical point of view, it is also easy to understand. The best example is Zhao Kuo himself: the reason why the position of King Zhao can easily reach Zhao Kuo's hands is obviously a very important reason.

It's just that although he knew what Lu Buwei meant, Zhao Kuo couldn't easily agree.

The reason is also very simple, what Zhao Kuo wants is not to dominate the world, but to be the king of the world.

Perhaps the marriage can narrow the distance between Zhao and Chu, and it can also allow the two countries to have more trust and tacit understanding in the matter of resisting Qin. But after the Zhao State officially started the war of annihilation, such a marriage would only be an obstacle to the war of annihilation, especially when it was the turn of the Chu State to destroy the country.

The historical state of Qin is the best example of this.

Why did the Qin State unify the six kingdoms in the hands of the first emperor after the remnants of Fen VI?

The first emperor's majesty and strategy are naturally the most important factor, and one of the specific manifestations of his majesty and strategy is that he uprooted the foreign relatives within the Qin State one by one.

In fact, in real history, since the twilight years of King Zhaoxiang, the Six Kingdoms actually have no strength to compete with the Qin State, and it can even be said that since the real Battle of Changping, the Qin State has been above all countries.

From the forty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin in the Battle of Changping, that is, in 260 BC, to 230 BC when the First Emperor started the mode of destroying the country, what was the Qin State doing in the full thirty years?

Thirty years is enough to destroy the Six Kingdoms three times!

Not to mention, there is only such a small piece of land left in the country of Han, why is it alive?

Some people died, but not completely......
