Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Han Xuwei set off a storm in his heart, but his face was indifferent, and he said very seriously: "Mr. Wen Xin, I really don't know what you are talking about."

Lin Xiangru was silent for a moment, and said, "Grand Master, I will not hide it from you.

It was the Queen Mother who ordered me to conduct a secret investigation into the rumors about Wu Xinjun that suddenly appeared in Handan City during this period.

After so many days, all signs show that this matter is closely related to your Grand Master's Mansion, do you still want to continue to hide it now? "

There was silence in the study.

Han Xuwei was undoubtedly shocked at the moment.

The queen mother has already known the rumors in Handan City, and secretly asked Lin Xiangru to investigate?

Why did Han Xuwei, who was supposed to be the Queen Mother's most trusted person, know nothing about such things?

What happened in all of this to make things become what they are today?

Many question marks hovered in Han Xuwei's mind, but he couldn't get any answers at all.

What should I do?

Han Xuwei knew that he had to make a choice.

After a long time, Han Xuwei breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Lin Xiangru very seriously, "Mr. Wen Xin, this matter really has nothing to do with this old man."

Lin Xiangru looked at Han Xuwei, with a trace of disappointment flashing across his face: "Grand Master, Grand Master, you still deny it at this time. It seems that you don't regard the old man as a real ally?"

Han Xuwei was speechless.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Lin Xiangru, it's that if this matter is exposed, the impact will be too bad.

What's more, the queen mother used Lin Xiangru instead of Han Xuwei, does it mean that Lin Xiangru has become the queen mother who can replace Han Xuwei?

There are two reasons, Han Xuwei really didn't dare to confess everything to Lin Xiangru, wouldn't that mean taking the initiative to hand over the matter to Lin Xiangru.

Lin Xiangru nodded, and said flatly: "I understand.

In that case, the old man said goodbye. "

Lin Xiangru stood up and walked out of the study without looking back.

Han Xuwei looked at the door of the study and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Han Xuwei's housekeeper reappeared and said softly, "My lord, Wen Xinjun has already left."

Han Xuwei nodded, and suddenly said: "Go, get in touch with that person in the west, and let him come to see the old man immediately."

The old housekeeper was obviously taken aback, and said: "My lord, that person's identity is too sensitive. If I see him at this time, if other people find out, it will cause big trouble."

Han Xuwei raised his voice: "The old man told you to go!"

About an hour later, Lao Jiazai led a person into Han Xuwei's study, then retreated to close the door, and guarded the door himself.

The person who came was a noble old man who seemed to be in good spirits. After seeing Han Xuwei, he smiled and cupped his hands, and said, "Teacher, I haven't seen you for many years, and the style is still the same as before."

Han Xuwei looked at the other party expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Jihou, you are the head of Qin's spy, but you openly appeared in the capital of Great Zhao. Could it be that you think you have lived too long?"

Jihou laughed, and said: "I don't know how long this old man will live, but as long as I can solve the troubles for the Grand Master, I should still be able to live on for a while."

Han Xuwei said coldly: "What trouble can you solve for this old man?"

Jihou laughed and said, "Of course it is to solve the big trouble that Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, the grand master, has been thinking about!"

Han Xuwei sneered, and said, "Don't think that the old man doesn't know about Yu Xin's affairs back then. You are also someone who suffered at the hands of Lord Wu Xin. How can you be sure that your method will work?"

A flash of anger flashed in Jihou's eyes, but he immediately laughed: "The grand master called me here this time, is it to solve the problem, or to quarrel with the old man?"

Han Xuwei took a deep breath and said, "Speak your mind and leave here.

We've never met, understand? "

Jihou laughed and said, "That's natural. After all, if Grand Master Zhao has contact with someone like this old man, it would be a huge commotion if it spreads."

Han Xuwei said coldly, "How long are you going to talk nonsense?"

Jihou smiled and said: "Since the Grand Master is so impatient, let's get down to business.

To solve Wu Xinjun, the real key is not you and me, but the Queen Mother.

So the grand master still doesn't understand?

For the current plan, the only way out is to enter the palace! "

That night, the light in Han Xuwei's study was on for a long time, and it was finally turned off in the early hours of the morning.

Early the next morning, when the sky had just dawned, Han Xuwei arrived outside the gate of Handan Palace in a carriage.

"Go and report to the Queen Mother, just say that the old man has something to ask for an interview!"

Chapter 388 Can't Let Wu Xinjun Continue (25/35)

Half an hour later, Han Xuwei saw the Queen Mother.

The queen mother seemed to be in a good mood, and said to Han Xuwei, "Teacher, what's the matter?"

The Empress Dowager's dress is quite casual today. Compared with the seriousness of the court meeting or other formal occasions, the Empress Dowager today wears a more casual robe, with half of her arms exposed. She has a young woman's style, which makes people realize that she is In fact, she is still a beautiful young woman.

Han Xuwei didn't dare to look at it, he lowered his head and said, "I really have something to say when I go back to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother let out a sigh, and said: "Could it be related to Wu Xinjun?"

With a plop, Han Xuwei knelt down and said, "I'm guilty, please punish the queen mother."

The queen mother looked at Han Xuwei, her face was a little surprised at first, and then it became cold: "So, the rumors against Wu Xinjun in the city in recent days were indeed spread by you secretly?"

Han Xuwei said: "Yes."

Although Han Xuwei refused to admit it in front of Lin Xiangru yesterday, after talking with Jihou, Han Xuwei realized that this was not possible.

Jihou's original words are as follows: "Since Lin Xiangru has already come to the door, it means that Lin Xiangru must have some evidence in his hands.

Grand Master, if you continue to deny it, it will be a dead end. It is better to admit it generously, but there will be a turning point. "

With a bang, the Empress Dowager slapped the table directly, frost all over her pretty face.

"Sure enough, the old woman knew that Da Zhao has always been good, why there are so many rumors of supporting Wu Xinjun suddenly.

Grand teacher, grand teacher, you really disappointed the old lady! "

The queen mother's good mood has completely disappeared, and the eyes looking at Han Xuwei are full of anger and murderous intent.

This is not the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth time that Han Xuwei dissatisfied the Queen Mother.

From the queen mother's point of view, loyalty is of course the most important thing, and it is also the reason why Han Xuwei can still hold the position of grand master after making so many mistakes.

But the problem is, if Han Xuwei only messes things up every time, and even does unbearable stupid things like the Queen Mother one after another in order to avenge Zhao Kuo like now, then why keep him?

It's better to re-train a capable and loyal person. For example, Zhou Shaofen, who is at the bottom of the list among Zhuqing, is a good choice.

Han Xuwei hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I also know that what I did was wrong, but there are reasons why I did this."

The queen mother said coldly: "What reason?"

Knowing his own future, Han Xu did not have any hesitation anymore, and said directly: "Queen Mother, if you really let Wu Xinjun continue to win, I am afraid that the future Great Zhao will no longer be a leader." The Queen Mother and the Great King can control the Great Zhao!"

Han Xuwei's voice fell, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

The queen mother looked at Han Xuwei and sneered: "Teacher, grand master, how many years have passed, can't you say anything else besides this set of rhetoric?"

Han Xuwei raised his head and said very seriously: "Queen Mother, please think about it, Lord Wu Xin and Lord Yuan are allies now, and they are the generals of Great Zhao, and they are deeply intertwined in the army of Great Zhao.

With every victory of Wu Xinjun, his prestige among the people and army of Da Zhao became higher and higher. "

"In today's Great Zhao, the academy was also established by Lord Wu Xinjun, and the ginseng channel was also managed by Lord Wu Xinjun. Almost all the key parts of Great Zhao have people from Lord Wu Xinjun.

If such a person does not rebel, it will be fine. If they rebel, will the Queen Mother really have a way to solve it? "

After Han Xu finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for the Queen Mother's decision.

The queen mother was silent, and there was also a huge wave in her heart.

For a long time, the queen mother has always been afraid of Zhao Kuo, but that is only because of Zhao Kuo's military ability, and she is afraid of Zhao Kuo's high achievements.

But now after such an inventory by Han Xuwei, the queen mother suddenly discovered that Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's power had unknowingly expanded to such an astonishing level!Watching the queen mother fall silent for a long time, Han Xuwei slowly let go of his nervous heart, and recalled Jihou's words yesterday again.

"Teacher, if you want the Empress Dowager to be vigilant against Wu Xinjun, it is not enough to emphasize his merits.

It is necessary to let the queen mother feel that Wu Xinjun really intends to rebel, and that he is indeed constantly developing forces for rebellion.

The Empress Dowager would not want to kill Zhao Kuo, the No. 1 general in the world who was victorious in all battles, but she would definitely not hesitate to kill a Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo who wanted to rebel and seize the throne of Da Zhao! "

Since the Empress Dowager didn't speak at this moment, she clearly stated that the Empress Dowager's heart had been shaken.

What Han Xuwei has to do is to let this wavering continue until the queen mother's trust in Zhao Kuo completely collapses!Han Xuwei continued: "Please think about it, Empress Dowager, Wu Xinjun is just a soldier, but what has he done all these years?

Intervening in the ginseng business is an opportunity to control the treasury.

Cultivating the Chi You Army is to train a rebellious army team.

The school was established to control public opinion.

Successive suppression of ministers and Wen Xinjun Lin Xiangru and others is to completely control the power of Da Zhao. "

"The old minister admitted that the old minister did spread rumors in Handan, and the old minister did not have any evidence to prove that Wu Xinjun wanted to rebel, but please think about it, Queen Mother, if all these behaviors are just one or two of them, it is understandable, but Wuxin took all of them, so the queen mother really doesn't think it's suspicious?"

Han Xuwei said all these words in one breath, and he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

This Jihou really deserves to be the one who specializes in these indiscriminate framing, and the bad things he comes up with are all set, even an old politician like this old man is ashamed of himself.

Han Xuwei didn't raise his head, so he didn't see the change of expression on the Empress Dowager's face.

The Empress Dowager's complexion has become extremely ugly at this moment.

The words that Jihou said through Han Xu's mouth were indeed heartbreaking words!Wu Xinjun is just a courtier, why does he do so much?

Why does everything Wu Xinjun does involves state affairs, and the sum of all aspects is just enough for Wu Xinjun to set up a shelf that can accept state affairs in a short period of time?

Yes, Han Xuwei has no evidence, and even the Queen Mother herself has no evidence, but the king's suspicion of his subjects often does not need evidence!After a long time, the queen mother let out a long breath and said slowly: "Okay, get up and sit down."

Chapter 389 Invite the Empress Dowager to negotiate peace with Wei Guo (26/35)

Han Xuwei was overjoyed when he heard the Queen Mother's words, knowing that his words must have had an effect, he immediately got up and returned to his seat.

The Empress Dowager looked at Han Xuwei expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Since the Grand Master thinks that Lord Wu Xin is unfaithful, how do you think the old woman should deal with Lord Wu Xin?"

Han Xuwei's heart completely fell back into his stomach.

With the Queen Mother's words, Han Xuwei knew that he had basically passed the test today.

Next, it was time for Han Xuwei to launch a counterattack against Zhao Kuo.

Jihou's words resurfaced in Han Xuwei's mind.

"The reason why the grand master has been failing before is very simple, it is because the grand master has always been on the opposite side of Wu Xinjun, making the queen mother feel that it is just a dispute between the grand master and Wu Xinjun.

This is wrong, the grand master should not oppose Wu Xinjun, but find a way to let the queen mother confront Wu Xinjun, so that the queen mother can keep shooting to restrict Wu Xinjun, and finally kill Wu Xinjun! "

How to make the queen mother and Wu Xinjun confront each other?

Of course, it depends on what Han Xuwei said next.

Han Xu calmed down because his mind was very clear at this moment, and said directly: "Queen Mother, for the present plan, the most urgent thing is undoubtedly to stop the war immediately and negotiate peace with Wei Guo!"

The queen mother couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words: "Negotiate peace?"

Han Xuwei nodded and said, "Yes, a peace must be negotiated immediately, otherwise once Lord Wu Xin breaks Daliang City, the Queen Mother and the King will be in trouble!"

The Empress Dowager frowned, and said, "What does the Grand Master mean by these words?"

Han Xu said: "I dare to ask the Queen Mother, if the current battle situation continues, can Lord Wu Xin break through Daliang City?"

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said, "It should be possible."

This is not just the queen mother's intention, but the unanimous condition of Zhao Guojun and his ministers in the court meeting a few days ago.

Now that the Qi State has withdrawn its troops, how can the 10,000+ Qin army alone be able to withstand Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's 25 army? Directly destroy Wei State?"

The queen mother nodded and said, "That's true, isn't it bad?"

Han Xuwei patted his thigh and said, "Of course it's not good, and it's terrible."

The Queen Mother frowned again and said, "Master, please speak clearly."

Han Xu said sternly: "Queen Mother, please think about why Qi was suddenly besieged by the five countries 30 years ago?
