Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

a human head.

An old, dead head.

Han Xuwei was startled when he saw the head.

Two seconds later, Han Xuwei recognized the identity of the head, and was shocked, almost unbelievable.

Jihou?

How can it be?

Zhao Kuo stood up and looked at Han Xuwei calmly: "Master, do you still recognize this human head?"

All eyes fell on Han Xuwei's face.

Han Xuwei tried his best to control the emotions that were like a storm in his heart, and said in a tone as cold as possible: "I don't know who this person is."

"is it?"

Zhao Kuo laughed mockingly: "This person is Jihou, the spy chief of Qin who was secretly discussing with you not long ago on how to slander me. Why don't you recognize him, Grand Master?"

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the expressions of the other important ministers completely changed, and they even exclaimed.

"Jihou!?"

This is a name that absolutely shocked the princes.

In the past few decades, Qin State had Bai Qi's presence on the battlefield, which was called invincible, but few people knew that Qin State had also won repeatedly in the intelligence battlefield, which made the six eastern countries suffer from it more than once.

The most typical example is that when the Battle of Changping was at an impasse, the Qin spies led by Ji Hou spread rumors in Handan, and finally succeeded in getting Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po.

If Zhao Kuo hadn't turned the tide and defeated Bai Qi who was lurking behind the scenes, the Battle of Changping would have become the burial place of 40 Zhao troops!The Battle of Changping is only one of Jihou's masterpieces, including the death of Yu Xin, an important minister of the State of Zhao, and the assassination of Zhao Kuo in Shangdang County, etc., all of which are inseparable from Jihou.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jihou is the biggest figure in the Chinese intelligence community.

But it was such a person who did not know when he came to Handan, and even died in the hands of Wu Xinjun!Zhao Kuo looked at Han Xuwei, and said lightly: "Master, are you sure you really want to resist?"

Han Xu was momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, Han Xuwei really hesitated.

Even Jihou died in the hands of Zhao Kuo. Does this mean that Zhao Kuo has fully learned about all the contacts between Han Xuwei and Qin?

But immediately Han Xuwei came back to his senses and said angrily: "Zhao Kuo, you did a great job killing Jihou, but I have no relationship with Jihou, so why do you use his head to frame this old man? "

Zhao Kuo looked at Han Xuwei and shook his head slowly: "Master, you really don't cry when you see the coffin.

That being the case, then Benhou will satisfy you! "

Zhao Kuo took out another piece of tissue paper from his bosom, and said coldly: "Queen Mother, Zhuqing, this is a copy of the paper that my subordinates found from Jihou after he killed Jihou. Secret decree.

It clearly stated that the King of Qin asked Jihou and Han Xuwei to join forces to target Benhou, and must stop Benhou's continued attack on Daliang City of Wei State, at all costs if necessary!Behind this secret decree, Jihou clearly stated the distribution of Qin's spies in the mansion of Grand Master Han Xuwei, as well as the name and identity of a certain steward that Jihou used to contact Han Xuwei.

Now, grand master, do you want to continue to deny it? "

Every word and every sentence of Zhao Kuo's words was like a sharp knife, piercing into Han Xuwei's heart fiercely, making Han Xuwei's face turn pale.

This damned Jihou, you will die when you die, why did you leave so much evidence!Zhao Kuo stood up and strode towards Han Xuwei. Han Xuwei screamed and subconsciously wanted to back away, but was caught by Zhao Kuo.

"Grand Master, you betrayed Da Zhao, and you deserve to die! If you plead guilty now, I can ask the Queen Mother to keep your whole body. If not, your whole family will be buried for you!"

These words completely broke Han Xuwei's psychological defense, and he yelled frantically: "I plead guilty, I plead guilty!"

Zhao Kuo let go, and Han Xuwei fell to the ground with a bang, then quickly got up, and kowtowed in front of the queen mother, begging for mercy.

"The Queen Mother, it is the old minister who is obsessed with ghosts, colluded with Jihou secretly, and spread rumors about Wu Xinjun in Handan. Please see the Queen Mother who has been loyal to the Great Zhao for so many years. Please spare the old minister's life, forgive the old minister's life! !"

The change of the whole situation was completed quickly in just a few words. Everyone was shocked, and the queen mother looked at Han Xuwei with a livid face.

The majestic Zhao Guo Taishi even secretly colluded with the Qin spy chief. Who would believe this kind of talk?

But unfortunately, this is the truth!Han Xuwei's psychological defense had obviously collapsed completely, crying and screaming, hoping that the queen mother would spare her life.

The queen mother was furious, pointed at Han Xuwei, and her cheeks trembled visibly when she spoke: "Give the old woman, detain this traitor and put him in a prison!"

"Empress Dowager, please forgive me, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager!!"

Amidst the incomparably piercing screams, Han Xuwei was directly dragged away by several wolf-like guards.

Zhao Kuo watched this scene quietly with a smile on his face.

From the moment Han Xuwei admitted to colluding with the Qin people, the political life of the Zhao Guo Taishi came to an end.

The queen mother can protect Han Xuwei because she is afraid of Lord Pingyuan and Zhao Kuo, but no monarch will protect a courtier who colludes with other countries.

Treason, this is what all rulers hate the most.

Han Xuwei, it's over!Not only Zhao Kuo, but all Zhao Guozhong ministers present looked at this scene with extremely complicated expressions.

Mr. Pingyuan had a strong smile on his face, if he hadn't tried his best to endure it, he would have laughed out loud on the spot.

Lin Xiangru and Lian Po were extremely shocked. On the one hand, they were shocked that Han Xuwei joined forces with the Qin people, and on the other hand, they were shocked that Han Xuwei was defeated by Zhao Kuo so quickly.

Just a few days ago, Han Xuwei kept saying that he wanted to make Zhao Kuo look good after returning to Handan. As a result, just the second day after returning to Handan, this Zhao Guo Taishi was directly eliminated by Zhao Kuo!The queen mother's mood is undoubtedly the most complicated one. Han Xuwei was pulled up by her, but now the queen mother has calmed down and said to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, give the King Qin's edict in your hand to Pingyang Jun. Let Pingyang Jun's Si Kou be responsible for the matter."

Zhao Kuo raised the edict in Yang's hand and said with a smile: "About this matter, I want to plead guilty to the Empress Dowager.

This decree is actually false. "

"what?"

The Queen Mother almost didn't hold back her emotions.

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhao Kuo spread out the decree in his hand and showed it to everyone.

There are actually four big characters written on it.

"Evil can never prevail against good!"

Chapter 405 Another enemy of Wu Xinjun has fallen

Looking at these four big characters, Zhao Guojun and ministers present were speechless for a moment.

But soon, everyone suddenly realized again.

As an intelligence chief, Jihou must be well aware of the importance of keeping information secret, so how could he carry such important information with him?

Really important information must be kept in mind.

It can only be said that Han Xuwei was too impatient, and after seeing Jihou's head, he received too much shock, and was deceived by Zhao Kuo's words, and he directly exposed his feet.

The queen mother stared at Zhao Kuo, wanting to get angry, but her vermilion lips kept trembling, and she didn't say a word.

Although Zhao Kuo did deceive Han Xuwei, judging from the results, Han Xuwei did betray Zhao Guo.

Zhao Kuo's deceitful behavior actually caught a big traitor for Zhao Guo and solved a potentially fatal hidden danger.

From this point of view, Zhao Kuo's fault is only a small fault, but his merit is undoubtedly a great one!If Zhao Kuo was punished for this small mistake, it would naturally not work.

And the queen mother thought a little deeper.

Under Han Xuwei's previous lobbying, the queen mother almost believed that Zhao Kuo had objected, so she chose to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Qin, Han and Wei.

But now that Han Xuwei has been proven to be treasonous and colluded secretly with the people of Qin, doesn't this mean that Zhao Kuo, whom Han Xuwei has tried his best to testify against, is actually the real loyal minister?

Chaos, it is too messy.

After a while, the Empress Dowager calmed down and said slowly: "Mr. Pingyang, you and Mr. Wenxin are responsible for this matter.

Immediately send troops to arrest everyone in Han Xuwei's mansion, and interrogate them one by one to find out all the facts. "

Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao and Wenxin Lord Lin Xiangru immediately suppressed all kinds of chaotic thoughts in their hearts, stood up and took orders.

Zhao Kuo hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, all the information from the minister's side will be handed over to Lord Pingyang and Lord Wenxin."

The queen mother took a deep look at Zhao Kuo, her eyes were extremely complicated.

If it is said that Zhao Kuo excluded dissidents, he chose to capture Han Xu as a traitor for Zhao Guo.

But if you want to say that Zhao Kuo has made contributions to the country, the queen mother feels that Zhao Kuo just wants to kill Han Xuwei, a political enemy.

The Queen Mother suddenly felt that Zhao Kuo seemed to be surrounded by a mist.

Is this Wu Xinjun good or bad, is he a loyal minister of Zhao State or a great threat hidden in Zhao State in the future?

At this moment, the queen mother was confused.

Countless thoughts and ideas were fiercely agitating in the queen mother's mind, which made her feel at a loss for a while.

The queen mother stood up and said calmly: "I'll stop here today, and wait until all other matters are clarified. Let's end the meeting."

After saying this, the queen mother left the hall directly.

She needs to find a place to calm down and think about the ins and outs of the whole thing.

After the queen mother left, all the ministers naturally dispersed.

Everyone couldn't hide the shock in their hearts.

Walking out of the main hall, Lin Xiangru looked at Lian Po and Zhou Shaofen beside him, and said with a wry smile: "I never thought that the grand master would still have collusion with the people of Qin, it's really a pity."

Lian Po said indifferently: "Han Xu has always been unscrupulous in what he does for this person. If he cooperates with the Qin people in order to get rid of Wu Xinjun, it will not be surprising."

Lin Xiangru's heart moved slightly, and he said: "In this way, maybe the grand master doesn't really want to collude with the people of Qin?"

Zhou Shaofen on the other side shook his head and said: "Wen Xinjun, I know you want to excuse the Grand Master.

But Wen Xinjun, please think about it, the Qin people are not fools, since the Grand Master has indeed cooperated with the Qin people, in the future, the Qin people will naturally be able to use this to coerce the Grand Master to reveal the secrets of the Great Zhao, which may directly lead to the death of the Great Zhao. The victory or defeat of this war, even Da Zhao's future glory will come to naught! "

What you said is true. It is a terrible thing that a person who hides in the top of Zhao State and can know and influence the highest decision-making of Zhao State at any time cooperates with Qin State and holds the handle in Qin State.

In the most extreme case, the entire Zhao Kingdom's national fortune may be ruined by Han Xuwei's betrayal, and no one can keep Han Xuwei under such circumstances.

Lin Xiangru sighed, and said: "The old man just thinks that the grand master's end today is really very similar to that of Yu Qing back then."

It was also in order to get rid of Zhao Kuo by all means and finally cooperated with Qin State. It was also exposed by Zhao Kuo after being noticed and then succeeded in counter-killing.

Does this Wu Xinjun really have some kind of magical power?

Not only the Big Three of the Scholars School think so, but Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang also think so.

As allies, Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang naturally left the palace side by side with Zhao Kuo.

Mr. Pingyuan had a beaming smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu Xin, the old man has wanted to get rid of Han Xuwei for a long time. He fled back to Korea 20 years ago, and was pushed back by the Queen Mother last year. Now he finally succeeded. , really made the old man happy, hahahaha!"

Mr. Pingyuan couldn't help his own joy and laughed out loud.

Zhao Kuo also had a smile on his face, and said to Mr. Pingyuan: "What did you say, actually, I have wanted to get rid of Han Xuwei for a long time, this time is a good thing for us!"

The two smiled at each other.

Pingyang Jun on the other side asked curiously: "Mr. Wu Xin, how did you find out that Han Xuwei secretly colluded with Jihou?"

Zhao Kuo had already thought about the answer to this question, and immediately said: "To tell you the truth, the last time Jihou colluded with Yu Xin in Shangdang County and almost killed me, I have always kept this in my heart , secretly ordered people to track down.

Huangtian paid off, and finally learned of the whereabouts of one of Jihou's subordinates by accident some time ago, and then tracked all the way to find Jihou's traces, and finally confirmed the collusion between Han Xuwei and Qin Guo. "

Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Pingyang looked at each other, and after a while Mr. Pingyuan said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu Xin had already made the layout a few years ago. I admire, admire.

Alright, the old man is hosting a banquet in the mansion tonight, and I would like to invite the two of you to honor me, one of us will not get drunk and will not return! "

The three of them laughed at the same time, this is the smile of victory!Accompanied by the departure of several important ministers of Zhao Guo, the heavy news brought by the court meeting was directly detonated.

"The grand master of the state of Zhao secretly colluded with the leader of the state of Qin, Jihou. Jihou was captured and killed by Lord Wu Xinjun's subordinates in Handan. Because of this, Han Xuwei's identity was exposed?"

This news shocked the entire Zhao Kingdom instantly, and quickly spread to the high-level officials of other vassal states in the world.

Another mortal enemy of Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo has fallen!This incident, of course, caused an uproar in the whole world.

Chapter 406 King Qin is angry, King Qi is tough

Qin State, Xianyang City.

On this day, Ying Zichu, who was still with Zhao Ji in the Prince's Mansion, suddenly received an order from the King of Qin to summon him, so he immediately got up and rushed to Xianyang Palace.

When Ying Zichu rushed to the main hall of Xianyang Palace, he realized that this time the King of Qin had not summoned himself alone, but all the important officials in the entire Qin Dynasty to hold a court meeting.

Not only that, King Qin's complexion was visible to the naked eye, basically the same as when he heard the news of Wang Lu's death in battle.

Ying Zichu couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, did something important happen?

But all wars are over.

Most of the important officials of the Qin State looked a little dazed, apparently thinking quite similarly to Ying Zichu.
