After Zhou Shaofen finished speaking in one breath, he stared at Zhao Kuo and waited for Zhao Kuo to speak.

Although there were five important officials of Zhao State present, everyone knew that the real showdown was actually between Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen.

When these two people decided to win, the real candidate for the position of Grand Sima came out.

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "The biggest problem with Qin Fei is that he is not capable enough and his background is not enough.

Our Zhao State now has countless excellent generals. People like Qin Fei are not ranked in the top ten at all. It is a problem whether they can even enter the top fifty.

If a person like Qin Fei becomes the Grand Sima, what would the generals in the Great Zhao army think that these abilities far exceed Qin Fei's?

Qin Fei was the former Yan State, a defeated general and captive under our Zhao State. As a result, he has now climbed to the head of our Zhao State General and became the immediate boss of General Zhao State! If we follow this logic, there will probably be Qin State people in the future. After the Chu State surrender, the Chu State will become a member of the important ministers of the Great Zhao State and will also control the supreme power of our Great Zhao State.

Then I want to ask, is it because our Zhao State conquered them, or do they conquer our Zhao State in turn?"

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Zhou Shaofen's face changed again.

Even King Zhao, who was standing by, had a significant change in his expression after hearing this.

Although it is true that everyone is a prince of the Huaxia clan, things must be divided into primary and secondary.

Since it was the conquest launched by Zhao State, it is obvious that the country after unification should also be dominated by Zhao State.

If those conquered people can become important officials of Zhao, then this will obviously arouse dissatisfaction among other Zhao people.

We destroyed Yan State, but now we let Yan State people be our bosses?

Anyone who thinks about this will feel very unhappy.

Therefore, Zhou Shaofen took out the candidate Qin Fei. Although he beat Zhao Kuo unexpectedly, Qin Fei himself actually had big flaws.

Zhou Shaofen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Wu Xinjun, what's wrong with you? Where are there people from Yan?

The Yan State had long been destroyed, and Qin Fei is now a complete Zhao State person!"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "You asked Qin Fei to say this sentence himself. Do you think he will believe it?

He was born in Yan State since childhood. He spoke the language of Yan State, wrote the text of Yan State, and was loyal to the king of Yan State! The reason he surrendered to our Zhao State was because he had no choice and there was no other way out if he did not surrender.

If such a person occupies a high position in our Zhao Kingdom, what will be the result?

To say it lighter will lead to dissatisfaction in Zhao's people. To say it heavyer, it is not impossible to cause division in Zhao's country! Indeed, the Youbeiping County where Qin Fei lives now belongs to our Zhao State, and I don't disagree that the people of Youbeiping County will be able to take up the position of an important minister of the Great Zhao one day, but they must not be now, and they must not be a person like Qin Fei!"

Zhao Kuo's words were sonorous and powerful, and they refuted Zhou Shaofen again, making Zhou Shaofen blush.

Zhou Shaofen said: "Wu Xinjun, you are the real tyranny. According to your statement, could Qin Fei be from Yan before, and he would never be able to serve as a senior official in our Zhao State for the rest of his life?"

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "Even if a person who serves as a high-ranking official does not require that he recognizes himself as a Zhao country since childhood, he should first integrate into our Zhao country for ten or twenty years, and then be officially accepted by all of us Zhao countries before obtaining this qualification to serve as a high-ranking official.

Instead of like Zhou Qing, you are now. Qin Fei has just surrendered for two years and can't wait to push him to a high position.

If there is the first one, Qin Fei will have the second one, and the third one. If there are all such people in the political arena of Da Zhao in the future, they will sooner or later be in chaos!”

Zhao Kuo's words were closely grasped by Zhou Shaofen and Qin Fei's weaknesses, making Zhou Shaofen feel irresistible.

Zhou Shaofen said angrily: "You are wrong. The vassal states in this era were originally circulated by scholars. Shang Yang, who presided over the reform of Qin, was from Wei, Wu Qi, who presided over the reform of Chu, was from Wei, and Fan Sui, the prime minister of Qin, was from Wei, and Le Yi, who helped King Zhao of Yan, was from Zhao.

So many examples are placed here, which shows that scholars can be loyal to the kings of different countries. Why do you say that Qin Fei must be disloyal?"

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "I didn't say that Qin Fei must be a disloyal person. I just want to tell you that the times have changed now, Zhou Qing! Before, our Zhao State needed talents, so no matter which country's talents were, as long as he was willing to come to our Zhao State, we would accept them all.

But now it is different, because now our State of Zhao has unified the entire north and destroyed the State of Yan and Wei. The other four vassal states are trembling under our military fronts. It is a foregone conclusion that we unify the world.

So what we need to consider is no longer priority to ability, but loyalty! Only those who are the most loyal can help our Zhao State consolidate its rule on the newly conquered land, do you understand?

What kind of person is the most loyal?

Of course, we were the most loyal to Zhao people! Qin Fei was born from Yan people, which was destined to suffer a loss in this matter.

He had nothing to be dissatisfied with. Who told him not to come to serve our Zhao State before the demise of Yan State, but to surrender after the demise of Yan State?

It is normal for such a person to not be able to obtain the position of important officials. If he is given the position of Grand Marshal, it would be a strange thing."

Faced with Zhou Shaofen's waves of counterattacks, Zhao Kuo also kept suppressing Zhou Shaofen with words.

Just when Zhou Shaofen wanted to continue speaking, King Zhao coughed heavily, interrupting Zhou Shaofen.

"Okay, okay, don't say anything more, I have made a decision."

When Zhou Shaofen heard this, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Just as Zhou Shaofen began to hesitate whether to disobey and speak, King Zhao had already spoken again.

"I think about it all over the place, and think that the words of the two Qing families make sense.

However, Qin Fei's identity is indeed a little more sensitive.

Our State of Zhao conquered Yan, of course, we should take the previous Zhao people as the main body. Those "New Zhao people" who joined after the demise of Yan should continue to observe for the time being, otherwise it would be impossible to cold the hearts of Zhao's subjects.
