Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The King of Qin coughed, and said calmly: "I just received news from Handan, Zhao State, that Marquis Ji has been killed by the people under Lord Wu Xin's command in Handan City."

With a bang, the atmosphere in the hall immediately exploded.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, with expressions of disbelief.

"Jihou is dead?"

"How, how is this possible?"

"Is Wu Xinjun so powerful?"

As the highest leader of Qin State's intelligence system, Jihou has been in charge of Qin State's intelligence department for more than 20 years, and has made outstanding contributions to Qin State's overseas campaigns.

Many other monarchs were unhappy seeing Jihou. I don’t know how many people wanted to kill Jihou, but Jihou always seemed to be a shadow hidden in the dark. Six countries stabbed a few times.

But now Qin Wang said coldly: "Not only that, Wu Xinjun also used Jihou's head to publicly expose Zhao Guoguo's teacher Han Xuwei and Jihou in cooperation with Zhao Guoting, and planned to use a divorce plan to make the Queen Mother of Zhao go. Something that doesn't agree with Wu Xinjun.

Now Zhao Guotai Master Han Xuwei has also been imprisoned, this time it should be doomed.

There was another uproar in the hall.

Han Xuwei, such a high-level partner has been dug out?

However, Han Xuwei is Zhao Guo's courtier after all, so compared with Jihou, it is obviously still lacking.

Xiangbang Fan Sui took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, at this moment, our intelligence system in Zhao Guozhong is completely broken."

The intelligence system and the government official system are two concepts. The official system is usually the monarch, the three public officials, the nine officials, the senior officials, the middle-level officials and the low-level officials. However, due to its secrecy and special nature, many key spies only It is in the hands of Jihou.

Now that Jihou died, many spies couldn't be contacted directly, and even Qin didn't even know that they were spies.

Qin Wang was really really really very angry.

The Prince of Qin has been the prince for more than 20 years. During this period, he has been as stable as Mount Tai and has hardly encountered any challenges from other princes of Qin. relation.

Jihou is to King Qin what Xu Li is to Zhao Kuo. He is not only a loyal subordinate, but also an elder who takes good care of him.

King Qin snorted heavily, and said, "This damned Wu Xinjun, why can he get involved in anything!"

There was silence in the hall.

If it was ten or even five years ago, Qin State encountered such a thing, apart from anything else, it would definitely be the first to attack Zhao State directly, and use the great Qin army to explain the truth to the people of Zhao State.

But now he can't beat Wu Xinjun, how can he say this?

Can't speak.

After quite a while, Fan Sui said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I would like to express my condolences. This old minister will let the audience below go to Handan as quickly as possible, and strive to send Jihou's body back to Daqin for burial."

King Qin's face was livid, but he also knew that this was the best way, so he nodded slowly.

Ying Zichu on the other side watched this scene, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

Ying Zichu didn't know Jihou well and hadn't received any care from Jihou, so naturally he didn't feel much about Jihou's death.

What Ying Zichu sighed was, isn't that Wu Xinjun too strong?

He knows how to fight, he also knows how to fight politically, and he is the one who makes money. Now even Wu Xinjun can do things like catching spies to the extreme, causing Jihou, the leader of Qin's intelligence department, to die tragically in Handan.

Is there anything in this world that Wu Xinjun doesn't know?

It seems that what Mr. Lu Buwei said is indeed correct. Daqin really wants to hide his strength and bide his time. He can't always confront Zhao Guo head-on, especially Wu Xinjun!The news reached Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and the King of Qi also immediately summoned Xiangbang Housheng, Da Sima Kuangliang and other important officials to deal with it.

King Qi was worried, and said: "Everyone, in this situation, even the intelligence leader of Qin State, Jihou, was killed by Lord Wu Xinjun. Do you think I will go to Handan to meet King Zhao and show weakness to King Zhao?"

Although Qi State was also one of the winners in the past war, it is also true that Qi State's current national power is not as good as that of Zhao State.

Regarding the question of King Qi, there were two opinions among the important ministers of Qi State.

Xiangbang Housheng hurriedly said: "What the king said is very true. Now Zhao Guo and Wu Xinjun are particularly sharp. I think that not only should we meet Zhao Guo, but we should also write to Mrs. Wu Xinjun, so that she can help us to speak Speaking of good things, after all, Da Qi is also Madam's natal family."

Although Hou Sheng is very greedy for money, he is still quite cautious.

In terms of the previous war, although Hou Sheng supported the war, he had always been unequivocally opposed to going to war with Zhao, so there was such a unique scene that Qi attacked Chu but did not go to war with Zhao.

If it was in the former Qi Dynasty, the whole situation would have been settled after Hou Sheng said this, but with the start of the two-year war, the situation has changed.

Grand Sima Kuangliang of the State of Qi said calmly: "Your Majesty, I think the words of the Empress are too cautious.

It is true that the State of Zhao is indeed very powerful, and Lord Wu Xin is indeed amazing, but our Daqi is also a first-class powerful country in the world, and it is the only country that can defeat the State of Zhao in the past few years.

Other countries have reasons to be afraid of Zhao, but why should Daqi be afraid of Zhao? "

Kuang Liang was very confident when he spoke, and he also has the ability to be so confident, because Qi State defeated Lian Po's 25 Zhao army in Gaotang City, and the brilliant record of defeating Chunshen Lord's [-] Chu army in Langya City, all of them Created by the Great Sima of Qi State.

In the past, Kuang Liang could only bow to Hou Sheng, but now Kuang Liang already has the status and power enough to argue with Hou Sheng.

Hou Sheng was trembling with anger, and said angrily: "Kuang Liang Da Sima, you defeated Lian Po, Lord Wu Xiang, not Zhao Kuo, Lord Wu Xin!"

Kuang Liang said proudly: "To tell you the truth, even if Lord Wuxin Zhao Kuo really led his troops, I, Kuang Liang, would not be afraid of him either!"

Although Hou Sheng was very angry, he was speechless by Kuang Liang's words.

There is no way, whoever makes someone have a record is so stubborn.

Seeing this, the king of Qi pondered for a long time and came to a conclusion: "I also think that Da Sima's words are reasonable, and I don't want to go to Handan to give that underage boy Zhao Yan a humble audience, so let's let this matter go, Zhao Guoren Do whatever you want!"

Chapter 407 Han Xuwei's Last Words

Handan City.

When Han Xuwei was first arrested and imprisoned, although the entire political circle of Zhao State was shocked, many people still had hope. They felt that Han Xuwei was released by the queen mother last time, so this time there might not be no hope.

However, as time passed day by day, everyone finally realized the difference.

Han Xuwei's mansion was directly raided, all his confidantes were arrested and imprisoned, and hundreds of retainers were interrogated one by one. Under the auspices, there was a big change of blood, and many officials who were quite successful under Han Xuwei's command were intensively interrogated by the official office of the Sikou to which Lord Pingyang belonged.

All of this showed that Han Xuwei was afraid that he would never come back.

When everyone realized this, they suddenly came back to their senses.

This time it was not Mr. Pingyuan who attacked Han Xuwei, but Mr. Zhao Kuo, the ever-victorious Wuxin Lord!For a time, countless people expressed emotion.

"The grand master is so confused, why did he collude with the Qin people?"

"Actually, you don't understand that the grand master's downfall was not because of collusion with the Qin people."

"what?

Why? "

"It's because the Grand Master is always against Wu Xinjun!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did Wu Xinjun get such great strength? Isn't it also an order from the Queen Mother this time?"

"You are the one who is really ignorant. Let me ask you, what was the charge of Yu Xin Yuqing's downfall?"

"It's a collusion with the people of Qin, huh?"

"See it.

This time the Taishi's downfall was also due to collusion with the Qin people, and the common characteristics of these two people happened to be Wu Xinjun's political enemies. "

"Do you mean that Wu Xinjun gave them the crime of weaving?"

"Hey, you are really stupid.

What I mean is that no matter Yu Qing or grand master, as long as they become the enemy of Wu Xinjun, they can't make any mistakes.

Otherwise, once caught by Lord Wu Xin, with the ability of Lord Wu Xin, it will be activated instantly. Both Yu Qing and Grand Master can only fail completely, and even their lives will be lost! "

"Hiss, what you said seems to be true."

"That's right, that's why I said, I'd rather offend other ministers of Great Zhao than Lord Wu Xin."

"If you want me to say, if we go directly to Wu Xinjun and work under Wu Xinjun's command, then there will be no such troubles?"

"Yeah! You are finally smart once, hahaha."

Han Xuwei, as the grand master and important minister of Zhao State, naturally has a group of people in Zhao State, occupying a considerable territory in Zhao State's political arena.

At this moment, Han Xuwei's power is collapsing, and the person who annexed Han Xuwei the most is not Pingyuan Jun, the leader of Zhao's political arena, nor Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao and Wenxin Jun Lin Xiangru, who are responsible for the specific investigation of Han Xuwei's case. On the contrary, it was Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo who really achieved a complete victory.

No matter what era it is, whether it is the battlefield or the officialdom, the strong will naturally get more followers. This is an undeniable truth.

Not only the middle and lower officials made their choices, but even the top ministers chose restraint and silence, and did not take the initiative to compete for these official positions with Zhao Kuo's faction.

With the in-depth investigation of Han Xuwei's faction, many things Han Xuwei did before have been investigated to the bottom.

More than 20 years ago, Han Xuwei used disgraceful means to fight against Li Dui when he was in Zhao State, and later used all kinds of tricks when he confronted He Yuanjun and Lin Xiangru, and forced officials and businessmen to pay bribes when he competed with Zhao Kuo ginseng, etc., etc. All charges have been investigated clearly.

When the thick dossier was sent to the queen mother's desk, the queen mother who had already prepared herself after the eunuch order's report was still shocked, and asked after a while: "Is this really true?"

To this, eunuch Ling, Lord Pingyang and Lin Xiangru responded in unison: "I can assure you that everything is true!"

The queen mother was silent for a long time, and finally turned her attention to the top memorial.

This memorial is a summary of Han Xuwei's case, and the judgment suggestions given in the last part.

"Execute Han Xuwei, all the Han family will be exiled to the frontier, and build the Great Wall in the north of Dazhao!"

The queen mother sighed, picked up the brush in her hand, and wrote a word on it.

"allow."

That night, Handan was jailed.

Although Handan is the capital, it does not mean that the prisons in Handan are much more comfortable than those in other Zhao cities. The strong musty smell and various odors fill the air that is difficult to circulate, forming a A strange, nauseating smell.

The disheveled Han Xuwei just sat quietly in his exclusive cell, motionless, like a statue.

Since the day he was thrown into the gangster, Han Xuwei had never seen anyone other than the jailer.

No one came to interrogate Han Xuwei, but Han Xuwei knew that he was completely finished.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and the light of the torch gradually approached, and finally stopped in front of Han Xuwei's cell.

The door of the cell was opened, and Han Xuwei raised his head subconsciously, and saw a familiar face.

Looking at Han Xuwei who was in such an embarrassing situation in front of him, Lin Xiangru couldn't say anything else.

It was Han Xuwei who spoke first: "Is there a result?"

Lin Xiangru froze for a moment, then nodded.

Han Xuwei asked: "Aside from the old man, who else will die?"

Lin Xiangru was silent for a moment, and said: "The whole family is exiled to the northern frontier."

Han Xuwei twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "Zhao Kuo is so merciful, isn't he afraid that the descendants of the old man will come back to seek revenge on him one day?"

There was silence in the cell, and after a while Lin Xiangru said: "Actually, Mr. Wu Xin is not a person who really likes to kill others."

Han Xuwei said lightly: "Mr. Wen Xin, I may not be as good as you in fighting Zhao Kuo, but you are not as good as me in treating Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo doesn't seem to be too aggressive. It seems that he is passive in every political struggle, but in fact, every time he makes a move, he wants to completely wipe out the enemy and make his enemy immortal. Turn over! "

As he spoke, Han Xuwei involuntarily raised his voice, causing his voice to echo in the small prison.

"Don't turn over", "turn over", "turn over" There were several crazy shouts from the prisoners in the distance, followed by loud reprimands from the jailers.

Lin Xiangru sighed and said, "Is there anything else the grand master wants to explain?

Tell the old man, and the old man will try his best to help you complete it. "

Han Xuwei smiled, and said: "The matter has come to this, what else can the old man tell Youyou to study?

However, there is a sentence that the old man wants to say to Wen Xinjun, it can be regarded as the last words that the old man gave you on his deathbed. "

Lin Xiangru said: "Teacher please tell me."

Han Xuwei said word by word: "Mr. Wen Xin, everyone thinks that Zhao Kuo is a great loyal minister, but I never think so.

When Li Dui came to power, you were still young, and neither you nor Mr. Pingyuan knew about Li Dui.

This old man is here to tell you today, if no one can stop Zhao Kuo, sooner or later Zhao Kuo will become the next Li Dui, and even become the true master of Da Zhao!Hahahahahaha! "

Han Xuwei burst into a burst of crazy laughter, with endless self-mockery, unwillingness, and helplessness in the smile.

"Remember, Lin Xiangru! Either submit to him or kill him!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Lin Xiangru, who had already got into the carriage and was returning to the mansion, suddenly spoke to the empty carriage.

"What the master said is correct."
