Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Since this is the case, then use Lu Buwei as the envoy to secretly go to Chencheng to discuss the alliance with the Chu people!"

Chapter 524 Hou's Insidious Strategy (Second Update)

When he heard Qin Wangzhu's order, Lu Buwei himself was a little confused.

After Qin Wangzhu succeeded to the throne, Zhao Zichu, who was originally the grandson, naturally went one step further and became the prince of Qin.

Under such circumstances, Lu Buwei, who is Zhao Zichu's most important confidant, naturally went further than before, moving from the original core edge to the center of Qin's core leadership.

But even so, Lu Buwei never thought that the task of persuading Chu would fall on him.

Isn't it all who advocates who is responsible?Cai Ze should be allowed to go!

And if this matter is not done well, wouldn't it be a scapegoat?

So Lu Buwei subconsciously wanted to decline: "Your Majesty, my minister's ability is meager. I'm afraid I have to bear the great trust of your Majesty. Please ask your Majesty to choose another talented person."

Qin Wangzhu was unhappy when he heard Lu Buwei's words, and immediately frowned and said, "Why, isn't Neishi unwilling to share the worries of the widow?"

This sentence is a bit heavy.

A courtier works for the king. You say you are a courtier who refuses to share the king's worries, what use do you want?

Of course, it is impossible for Lu Buwei not to hear the subtext in it, so he panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "The king misunderstood, the minister just"

"There is no need to say any more." Qin Wangzhu waved his hand, and interrupted Lu Buwei's words impatiently: "My widow has made up my mind, and you will be responsible for the envoy to Chu State. Let's go tomorrow!"

When Lu Buwei walked out of the Qin Palace, he was still in a depressed mood.

Originally, he was working as a spy for Zhao Guo, but why did this spy take charge of such a thing that was completely detrimental to Zhao Guo in front of him?

If King Zhao knew, would he suspect that I had secretly surrendered to Qin?

However, Lu Buwei is also a smart person. Although he was a little depressed at the beginning, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

After adjusting his mentality, Lu Buwei suddenly felt that this trip to Chu State was not a trouble for him, but a good opportunity!

First of all, as long as this matter is done, then Qin Wangzhu's trust in Lu Buwei will definitely increase, then Lu Buwei will have the qualifications to participate in the inner circle of Qin State in a deeper way in the future, and thus gain more intelligence.

Secondly, once Lu Buwei participates in it, there is no secret for Lu Buwei about the terms of cooperation between Qin and Chu.As long as Lu Buwei discloses this information to Handan, it will be a great achievement for Zhao Guo.

Looking at it this way, this is simply a great opportunity that fell from the sky.

Lu Buwei slapped his thigh: "Why was I so confused just now?"

That's what he said, but the strong smile on Lu Buwei's face couldn't be concealed no matter what.

On the other side, Qin Wangzhu didn't sit still after he retired, but immediately summoned the "waiter".

"See you, Your Majesty." Hou, who looked like an old eunuch, saluted very respectfully towards Qin Wangzhu, just like what he had done to Qin Wangji.

Qin Wangzhu stared at the old eunuch in front of him with piercing eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I ask you, is there a Great Qin Yinjian in the Chu Kingdom?"

Hou nodded and replied: "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case. That man is the servant of Huang Xie, Lord Yin Chunshen of Chu State, and he is extremely favored by Huang Xie."

Qin Wangzhu narrowed his eyes and said after a while: "Since that's the case, then I have a mission to arrange with Li Yuan. You should send someone to inform him immediately."

"Here." Hou responded, and then asked, "I wonder what task your majesty wants to arrange?"

Qin Wangzhu said: "I will soon send Lu Buwei as an envoy to Chencheng secretly. I hope you can let this Li Yuan act as a middleman to help Lu Buwei's mission succeed, and make Qin and Chu form an alliance to deal with Zhao Guo!"

After thinking for a while, he said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty does not know that Huang Xie's position is not very stable now. Even if Huang Xie persuades him, it may be quite difficult. Moreover, the reason is not reliable after all. If it is leaked If you get wind of it, it will be harmful, please think again, Your Majesty."

"What?" Qin Wangzhu was a little annoyed when he heard this.

You must know that Qin Wangzhu is also an ambitious monarch, and the thing he hopes to do most since he took the throne is to restore the glory of the Qin State.

As a result, at this moment, Qin Wangzhu's hope is directly poured with cold water. How can Qin Wangzhu bear it?

Qin Wangzhu slapped the table in a rage, and shouted: "I don't care what method you use, but I must help you to make this happen, understand?"

Qin Wangzhu was really anxious.

Hou was silent for a while, and then replied: "If the king insists on facilitating this matter, then I have a plan, but this plan is too insidious and requires the king's permission."

"Sinister?" Qin Wangzhu sneered, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "Come on, I want to hear, what kind of insidious plan do you have!"

With his already somewhat rickety body, he said slowly, "Go back to the king, I think this plan should be done."

After a while, Qin Wangzhu's face was full of shock.

Although he was already mentally prepared, Qin Wangzhu was shocked when this matter came out of Hou's mouth.

After a while, the shocked expression on Qin Wangzhu's face faded away, and he hissed, "Do you know what will happen if this plan is revealed?"

"Of course I know." Hou said unhurriedly: "If this plan is exposed, then there is no doubt that he will die because of it."

Qin Wangzhu slapped the table in front of him with a bang, and shouted: "This is not what the widow is talking about! What the widow means is that if this plan is revealed, then Qin and Chu will immediately become sworn enemies in the future, at least in a hundred years. There is no longer any possibility of reconciliation!"

Hou thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious. In my opinion, even if the matter is revealed, then at most 20 years later, there will be a possibility of reconciliation between Qin and Chu."

Qin Wangzhu waved his hands distractedly, and said: "Enough is enough, don't talk nonsense to the widow!"

Qin Wangzhu was also very clear in his heart, 20 years?With the current international situation, not to mention that Qin and Chu have been enemies for 20 years, even ten years, the offensive from Zhao State is enough for Qin State to drink a pot.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

After a while, Qin Wangzhu asked, "Is there no other plan?"

Hou replied: "My lord, please forgive me for being blunt. This is the only plan I can think of."

When Qin Wangzhu stared fiercely in front of him, he suddenly felt an urge to throw this old guy to the dogs.

If such a vicious strategy is really exposed in the future, it will not only have a great impact on the relationship between Qin and Chu, but also definitely a big blow to Qin Wangzhu's own reputation.

At least in the eyes of others, a hated Qin Wangzhu who is "despicable, shameless and omnipotent" will definitely not be able to escape.

Do you really want to do this?

Qin Wangzhu pondered for a long time without making up his mind.

Hou stood there quietly with his head bowed, a look of disappointment flashed quietly in his old eyes.

After all, this great king is not as decisive and resolute as the previous king.

I don't know how long it took, seeing that the sky outside the hall had gradually turned dark, Qin Wangzhu finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Okay, okay, let's do it according to your plan! You have to remember it for me, if this plan fails, then I will kill your whole family!"
