Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

Since he already knew that Li Si was an envoy from another country, in order to avoid suspicion, Li Mu just sent the two of them to the post house, and then left.

Looking at the back of Li Mu leaving in a hurry, Li Si sighed softly.

Zhao Mu is a rare and peerless general, but it is a pity that he fell into such a fatuous monarch, killed a good general by mistake, and destroyed the Great Wall himself.

Originally, because Zhao Mu had helped him just now, Li Si originally wanted to remind Li Mu a few words, but then, Li Si suddenly realized that how could a famous general like Li Mu, who uses soldiers like a god like Li Mu, not see Zhao Mu? The country is about to perish, but Li Mu, like that person, foolishly sticks to the fragmented country. If he can't save the sinking ship, he will perish together with the ship.

"Uh, sir, I'm tired..."

After the initial excitement passed, Zhang Xiaoliang, who was alive and well, finally felt tired. He rubbed his eyes that could hardly be opened with his small hands, and his wobbly body seemed to be about to fall down in the next moment.

"Go back and rest if you're tired."

Li Si withdrew his gaze from far away, squatted down and comforted softly. During the time he was with Zhang Liang, he would always think of his two sons in his previous life. Liang is about the same size.

Leading Zhang Liang back to the room where he was staying in the inn, Li Si thought silently in his heart.

Anyway, after this matter is resolved, he is ready to go far away, whoever prospers and whoever dies, whoever dies and who lives, has nothing to do with him.

A few acres of thin land, a thatched hut, a wife and son, and it would be better to have a big yellow dog, so that he can lead the big yellow dog and take his son to chase the cunning rabbit outside the east gate of Shangcai.

A peaceful life like that is the life he wants.

In order to be able to live such a life, Li Si must first fulfill his promise and complete the task that is not so easy to complete.

After a good night's sleep, before dawn, Li Si had already tidied up and was ready to go out.

The person worthy of meeting Li Si so early in the morning is not the king of Zhao, but he is also an important figure, and that is Guo Kai, the most trusted minister of the king of Zhao.

In the previous life, Li Si also dealt with Guo Kai for several years, and he had already summed up a set of countermeasures against Guo Kai.

If you want to persuade King Zhao, Guo Kai is indispensable, and if you want to bribe Guo Kai, it is very simple, just throw money at him.

After sending out a box of gold, silver and jewelry, Guo Kai's eyes were already narrowed with joy, wishing to immediately put these things in front of him, but even so, Guo Kai still had some scruples.

Seeing Guo Kai's hesitation, Li Si thought that Guo Kai thought these were not enough, so he added: "This is just a small gift, and when things are done, there will be a lot of money to offer."

Hearing this, Guo Kai's eyes widened. He didn't expect that this little South Korea would be so rich. It's just...

Guo Kai got up, stroked the jewels in the box carefully, and said with great regret: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that King Fayan has made up his mind and it is really hard to shake."

Li Si leaned over to Guo Kai's ear, and whispered mysteriously:

"I heard that the king of your country likes divination?"

Guo Kai was taken aback for a moment, then slapped his thigh, and got up as he spoke.

"What a plan! I'm going to ask Wu Xian to divination for the king!"

Li Si quickly grabbed Guo Kai:

"My lord, let's not be busy with this! The time has not yet come."

"Timing? Well, tell me what to do!"

Guo Kai frowned slightly, and sat back again.

Li Si's strategy was actually very simple. He first sent people to spread rumors in Handan City that Yan State had asked Qin State for help, and Qin State had made an agreement with Yan State that as long as Zhao State's army marched into Yan State, Qin State would surround Zhao and Yan State.

As the rumors became more and more prosperous, in less than a few days, even King Zhao in the Forbidden Palace had heard about it, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Originally, when King Zhao proposed to attack Yan, a large number of ministers in the court resolutely opposed it, but King Zhao was so resolute that he didn't listen to their advice at all.

But in fact, although King Zhao said that he wanted to attack Yan, he actually had no idea in his heart. Now that Yan State has asked Qin State for help, if the news is true, it means that if Zhao State rashly Attacking Yan, not only will not be able to bite the fat of Yan State, but it is very likely that Qin State will bite him from behind.

Of course, all of this must be based on the premise that Yan State has really asked Qin State for help, and Qin State has also agreed to assist Yan State.

Zhao Wang listened to the rumors in this forbidden palace every day, and he was extremely anxious. He placed Yan Guo and Zhao Guo to send back the news that he did not find that Yan Guo asked Qin for help, but Zhao Wang But he still couldn't let go of his heart. He couldn't be sure whether it was Yan Guo who didn't ask Qin Guo for help at all, or whether Xi Zuo didn't find out.

The harder it is to find out, the more concealed it is, the bigger the conspiracy!If you are not careful, the country of Zhao may be destroyed!

He wanted to give up cutting Yan, but if he did, wouldn't it mean that he, King Zhao, was frightened by a little rumor?But if they insist on attacking Yan, what should they do if Li Mu just left Zhao with his army and Qin's army of tigers and wolves attacked Handan?

Thinking wildly in his heart, Zhao Wang has changed from the initial anxiety to restless sleep and food, and finally fell asleep, but dreamed that he was in a fire that soared into the sky, surrounded by fleeing palace people, and dragged him casually. A palace man asked, and the palace man panicked and replied: "Qin Jun! Qin Jun has already entered the palace!" After speaking, he broke away and ran away in a panic.

Zhao Wang ran around in a panic, but there were fires everywhere, and sharp swords approaching every step of the way. In the end, he could only run away in a panic, while yelling frantically: "Where is Li Mu? The lonely army Woolen cloth!"

……

"Where is the lonely army!!"

In the resplendent and resplendent bedroom, only King Zhao's heart-piercing shout was heard, and he suddenly sat up from the couch, sweating profusely all over his body, which scared the beauties around him to turn pale and shouted.

The beauty's cry alarmed the guards outside. The guards rushed in and carefully lit the candles in the bedroom. They searched for a long time, but no one was found.

At this moment, King Zhao, who was sitting on the bed blankly, finally came back to his senses. He looked around with dull eyes. There was no fire, no palace servants fleeing for their lives, the soft bed, the soft and fragrant beauties, his army, are still there.

All that just now was just a dream.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Seeing that King Zhao's face was not as pale as before, the beauty on the couch observed King Zhao's expression, slowly moved over, put her hand on King Zhao's lap, and asked softly.

It's okay if you don't touch it, the beauty's jade hand just touched Zhao Wang's thigh, but Zhao Wang seemed to be stabbed hard by a needle, jumped up suddenly, and pushed the beauty aside.

By this time, he no longer had the heart to enjoy the beauty of Gangna.

"Go down first..."

Dejectedly waving to the densely packed guards outside, Zhao Wang felt that he needed to be alone for a while.

Just as the guards and the beauty were walking towards the outside of the hall, King Zhao suddenly raised his head again and shouted, "Wait a minute!"

The beauty hurriedly turned her head, thinking that the king must have regretted it, and wanted to stay and serve him.

Unexpectedly, King Zhao didn't even look at him at all, but said to the guards: "Tomorrow, Guo Kai will be called into the palace."

Zhao Wang has already thought clearly about whether to attack Yan, he alone can't think of any results, but he doesn't want to put this matter on the court again, let those annoying old men To make a decision, so he thought of the person he trusted the most, a minister who would always be loyal to him—Guo Kai.

===

The next day, Guo Kai entered the palace and talked with King Zhao for a whole day, and he didn't leave the forbidden palace until the next morning. whats the matter.

After Guo Kai left the palace, Zhao Wang summoned a witch clam into the palace, and asked him to predict whether Zhao Guo's attack on Yan was bad or good during the court meeting. In addition, he also sent people to the posthouse, Li Si, who was summoned as a Korean envoy, also entered the palace on the same day, but the time was in the afternoon after the court meeting had ended.

At the court meeting in the morning, Wu clam made a fortune teller and took out a few copper coins and threw them on the turtle shell. Wu clam looked closely at the pattern on the copper coins and the turtle shell, and his face suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Wu Xian knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and shouted.

King Zhao's face darkened, and he shouted in displeasure:

"Whether it's bad or good! If you dare to lie to the king, you will not be spared!"

Wu Xian got up quickly, his eyes drifted away, as if hesitating for something, after a long time, he bent down deeply, and said in a trembling voice: "It is a bad omen to report to the king."

The court hall of Zhao State fell silent instantly, and the ministers dared not even vent their anger, for fear that King Zhao would be furious.

King Zhao sat back on his throne, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted, but the strange thing was that when he really heard the answer, he was not furious, except for a little disappointment, There was still a trace of relief in his heart.

It's not that he wants to give up cutting swallows, but God told him to give up. God said that cutting swallows this time is a bad omen, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Just when the Zhao Kingdom Hall was silent like cicadas, a siren suddenly broke the silence in the hall: "The South Korean envoy has arrived!"

Only then did King Zhao regain his energy, and quickly sat up straight, waiting for the envoy to arrive.

Although God forbids King Zhao to attack Yan, Yan State is still very likely to form an alliance with Qin State, in case they get together and attack Zhao...

Thinking about those other countries, Wei State is already too busy to take care of itself, and Qi State and Qin State are ambiguous. Then, the only ones who can help Zhao State are Chu State and South Korea. In addition, South Korea is close to Zhao State. Reforms are being carried out again, and the national strength has been qualitatively improved compared to before.

Therefore, Zhao Wang also had to pay attention to the friendship between Zhao Guo and South Korea, as well as the upcoming Korean envoy.
