Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Zhao Kuo, with obvious surprise: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "Grand Master Han Xuwei colluded with South Korea and Qin Guo secretly, betrayed Da Zhao's interests, and became Da Zhao's traitor!"

The queen mother was taken aback.

After more than half an hour, a carriage slowly drove into the palace city and stopped firmly under the high platform. Grand Master Han Xuwei got off the carriage.

Just at this moment, another carriage came, and Lin Xiangru got out of the carriage.

The two walked up the steps side by side.

Seeing the sudden increase of Zhao soldiers on both sides of the steps, Lin Xiangru couldn't help frowning, and said to Han Xuwei, "Grand Master, something seems wrong today, did something happen?"

Han Xuwei froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, what could happen?"

Since he received a great achievement reward after Zhao Kuo yesterday, Han Xuwei drank a lot at the celebration dinner, and when he spoke, he still had a bit of alcohol left over from last night.

Suddenly, Han Xu was startled and thought of something.

Could it be that the queen mother has really been persuaded by herself and decided to kill Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo?

But that's not right, it was just a triumphant return yesterday.

With such a mood of anticipation and some doubts, Han Xuwei and Lin Xiangru walked into the hall.

After entering the palace, Han Xuwei immediately discovered the existence of the trio of Zhao Kuo, Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang.

But Han Xuwei didn't take it seriously. After all, everyone must have arrived one after another for the meeting, so there was nothing strange about it.

On the contrary, Lin Xiangru paid more attention, and glanced at the faces of Zhao Kuo's trio and the Queen Mother, feeling that something was wrong.

But in the current situation, it is of course impossible for Lin Xiangru to express this doubt again.

After a while, Lian Po and Zhou Shaofen also arrived one after another, and the seven important ministers of Zhao State gathered here.

The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "To tell you the truth, today's court meeting was not what the old woman wanted, but the three princes Wu Xin Jun, Ping Yuan Jun, and Ping Yang Jun entered the palace and asked the old woman to hold it.

Wu Xinjun, tell me. "

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, everyone's surprised eyes fell on Zhao Kuo, especially Lin Xiangru, who felt something was wrong.

Zhao Kuo stood up, looked around the crowd, and went straight to the point: "Everyone, I accidentally got some clues when I was fighting against Wei, and then I ordered my subordinates to investigate secretly, and finally found out with the help of Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang. A startling truth.

Grand Master Han Xu of Great Zhao colluded with foreign countries and betrayed Great Zhao's interests during the negotiation. He is an out-and-out traitor of Great Zhao! "

Zhao Kuo's words exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt.

Han Xuwei's body trembled suddenly, and the one or two traces of alcohol left in his body from last night's hangover disappeared in an instant, and he stared at Zhao Kuo with wide eyes in disbelief.

This Wu Xinjun is actually accusing the old man of treason?

Han Xu was furious.

It's fine to talk about other things, it's a hat of treason, this is to punish the old man to death.

The next moment, Han Xuwei yelled directly: "Zhao Kuo, you are slandering, slandering!"

Han Xuwei stopped calling Wu Xinjun in a fit of anger, and simply called Zhao Kuo by his name.

Zhao Kuo looked at Han Xuwei and said coldly: "Master, I already knew that you would deny it, after all, who would admit such a thing?

But Ben Hou already has enough evidence to prove that you are the traitor who betrayed Da Zhao! "

Han Xuwei was startled when he heard this, but on the surface he broke out into a burst of laughter: "Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, I didn't expect you to go so far in order to eliminate dissidents?

Colluding with Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang, wantonly slandering the old man, in an attempt to deceive the queen mother to control the government, your conspiracy can be hidden from others, but not the old man! "

Han Xuwei was actually a little guilty.

Han Xuwei did have reservations during the peace talks, and he did meet with Qin's spy chief Ji Hou and chose to join forces in order to kill Zhao Kuo.

But Han Xuwei still has a lot of confidence.

The reason is very simple. Han Xuwei felt that he was engaged in intelligence anyway. Zhao Guo's intelligence system was controlled by Han Xuwei. There was absolutely no problem with the confidentiality. It was impossible for Zhao Kuo to catch any cheating feet.

As for Jihou, let alone, as the intelligence leader of the Qin State, he is a elusive person, and it is even more impossible for Zhao Kuo to find Jihou's trace.

Taking a step back, even if Zhao Kuo found out that Han Xuwei's confidants were indeed spreading rumors in Zhao Guozhong, it would not be a big deal.

Because Han Xuwei had already reported to the queen mother and pleaded guilty.

Since the queen mother forgave Han Xuwei and agreed to Han Xuwei's proposal for peace talks, it is impossible to use this matter to punish Han Xuwei.

In just a short moment, many thoughts flashed through Han Xuwei's mind, and the smile on his face gradually became thicker.

Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, do you think you have caught the old man's deadly handle?

This time, you miscalculated!Han Xuwei's smile was seen by everyone, and it naturally fell into the eyes of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Grand Master, it seems that you really want to deny it to the end?"

Han Xuwei laughed, and said nonchalantly: "Mr. Wu Xin, if you really have any evidence, you might as well show it to the Queen Mother and Zhu Qing now."

"Since the Grand Master wants to know about his crimes so much, then this Marquis will fulfill you!"

Zhao Kuo took out a piece of densely written paper from his bosom, and said, "Please look, Queen Mother, this is the confession confessed by Han Xuwei's confidant Zhang Xiaodong, which clearly stated Han Xuwei's crimes! "

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Han Xuwei's heart tightened first, but then he relaxed again.

Sure enough, you Zhao Kuo just want to make a fuss about the rumor.

Wu Xinjun, so you are only at this level!

Chapter 403 Zhao Kuo's Key Evidence

Han Xuwei watched Zhao Kuo hand over the confession to the queen mother, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh.

Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, this time the old man is really ahead of you!The Empress Dowager obviously also thought of this, her expression looked a little strange.

But the queen mother did not speak, but took the confession in Zhao Kuo's hand and read it carefully.

Han Xu calmed down and waited for the Queen Mother to speak.

All this fell into Lin Xiangru's eyes, and Lin Xiangru couldn't help frowning, wondering inwardly.

Why did the grand master show an expression of victory after Wu Xinjun submitted the confession?

Could it be that all of this is in the grand master's calculations? But judging from the past battles between the grand master and Wu Xinjun, it doesn't look like it.

There are a hundred thousand question marks in Lin Xiangru's mind.

The situation is a bit complicated, even an old Jianghu like Lin Xiangru can't see through it!The queen mother looked at the confession form in her hand, and her face slowly became gloomy bit by bit.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother slapped the confession on the table with a bang, her phoenix eyes shone with light, and said coldly to Han Xuwei: "Master, is the statement on this confession true?"

Han Xuwei was taken aback for a moment, instinctively feeling something was wrong.

Didn't the queen mother already know, why did she still get so angry?

Han Xuwei hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, can I let the old minister see how Wu Xinjun slandered the old minister, otherwise how will the old minister defend himself?"

The Queen Mother snorted and said, "Eunuch Order, read it out!"

The eunuch Ling at the side immediately stepped forward, picked up the confession, and began to recite it.

The content of the confession at the beginning was mainly about how Han Xuwei appointed this confidant named Zhang Xiaodong to spread rumors that were unfavorable to Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo in Handan City. Too many surprises.

The grievances between Han Xuwei and Zhao Kuo can be said to be known to the entire Zhao country and even the world. Isn't it normal for Han Xuwei to send someone to pour some dirty water on Zhao Kuo?

Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Pingyang looked at each other, and they both saw disappointment from each other's expressions.

Lord Wu Xin made a big move and pulled Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang to convene a court meeting, but this evidence was produced in the end?

Last time Mr. Pingyuan had such a big advantage that he couldn't kill Han Xuwei. Now, how much influence will it have on Han Xuwei with such a mere charge of spreading rumors?

But what happened next changed everyone's expressions.

"I, Zhang Xiaodong, am not the only confidant of Han Xuwei, but actually I am a spy from Qin, and five years ago I was ordered by Jihou to infiltrate into Handan of Great Zhao.

He used to be the housekeeper of Wenxinjun and Wuxiangjun's mansions, and was later accepted by the grand master Han Xuwei as a confidant.

During the struggle for ginseng rights, I went secretly to Xianyang under the order of Grand Master Han Xuwei to contact Jihou, the spy chief of the State of Qin, as a liaison between the grand master and Jihou. "

"Among the rumors spreading this time, in fact, it was us Qin spies who started spreading rumors first.

The grand master was overjoyed when he learned of this, and took the initiative to let me send a message to Xianyang, inviting Jihou to come to Handan to discuss how to slander and harm Lord Wu Xin, so I said "Hearing this, Han Xuwei finally couldn't help it, shouted: "Slander, this is a complete slander! "

The faces of all the other important ministers also changed.

Pouring dirty water on political opponents, although this approach is a bit low, but it can still be regarded as one of the means of competition after all.

But colluding with foreign countries, especially colluding with foreign intelligence chiefs, undoubtedly touched the bottom line.

It is impossible for any monarch to allow such a courtier to appear.

Han Xuwei stood up, pointed at Zhao Kuo, and said angrily: "Zhao Kuo, you are really crazy, you dare to pour any kind of dirty water on the old man's head!"

Han Xuwei began to lose his composure.

Zhao Kuo looked at Han Xuwei, and said calmly: "The words of the grand master are interesting. This is obviously a confession of your subordinates. How could it be that this Marquis poured dirty water on you?"

Han Xuwei said angrily: "You are simply being tortured into a trick, maybe this person is the spy you sent to lurk beside the old man all along!"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing out loud: "A spy?

Grand Master, do you have any misunderstandings about Ben Hou?

How about this, Ben Hou will show you a new piece of evidence, so that you can be speechless! "

Han Xuwei crossed his arms and said coldly: "Come on, Wu Xinjun, you can make up a few more confessions and see if I believe your nonsense!"

Han Xuwei has calmed down a bit.

It is true that Zhang Xiaodong is Han Xuwei's confidant, and it is true that Han Xuwei has a connection with Jihou, but the connection between Han Xuwei and Jihou is not through Zhang Xiaodong.

Then there are two possibilities. The first one is that Zhang Xiaodong is indeed a spy of Qin State, but so what?

Han Xuwei didn't know Zhang Xiaodong's identity, and he didn't intend to let this Qin spy be his confidant.

The second is that Zhang Xiaodong is not a spy of the Qin State, which means that this is completely a false accusation by Zhao Kuo, and Han Xuwei can even fight back.

In just a few seconds, Han Xuwei quickly passed these thoughts through his mind, and then smiled.

On the other side, whether it was Lord Pingyuan, Lord Pingyang, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, etc., all of them looked very excited at the moment.

Although it was only a short confession, the secret struggle between Zhao Kuo and Han Xuwei has been noticed by these important ministers.

Moreover, Zhao Kuo made it clear today that he wanted to fight Han Xuwei to the death.

No matter who wins, today is definitely a huge blow to Zhao Guo's political arena!Zhao Kuo said: "Queen Mother, the evidence that I will present next is a bit special, can you let the eunuch Ling Fuer come over?"

The queen mother hesitated for a moment, and nodded towards the eunuch Ling.

Eunuch Ling walked towards Zhao Kuo, and then Zhao Kuo whispered a few words in Eunuch Ling's ear.

Eunuch Ling was obviously taken aback, glanced at Zhao Kuo in disbelief, then walked up to the queen mother, bent down and said something in a low voice.

The queen mother also showed the same surprised expression, looking at Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, is this true?"

Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice: "Back to the queen mother, this matter is absolutely true, and I am willing to guarantee it with the head of the item!"

The queen mother nodded and said to the eunuch, "Send someone to fetch it."

Looking at this scene, the other important ministers couldn't help thinking about it.

What is it that can shock the eunuch Ling and the queen mother so much?

Han Xuwei's confidence also began to lack, and a feeling of uneasiness rose from his heart.

A moment later, Eunuch Ling hurried in with a box in his hand.

Everyone's eyes fell on the box, knowing that this was the key evidence that Zhao Kuo swore that he was willing to use the human head as a guarantee.

What exactly is in the box?

Chapter 404 Han Xu pleaded guilty

The queen mother seemed to be hesitant, but she still said, "Open it."

Eunuch Ling nodded and opened the box directly.

The next moment, a burst of exclamation suddenly sounded from the hall.

Everyone saw what was in the box.
