Chapter 872: Political Murder
After Wan Jiaojiao left, Li Chen walked back to his seat and sat down, and said, "Tell me, what's so important."
Sanbao had a serious face, and he said: "Report to Your Highness, just now Xu Wei heard news that Duan Jinjiang and Long Huaiyu appeared in the Zhao Palace together. The two were suspected of colluding with King Wen and came to negotiate with King Zhao on behalf of King Wen. The two sides have reached a cooperation."
"At the request of King Zhao, King Wen will provide King Zhao with three million taels of silver and eight hundred elite swords and axe masters."
Li Chen sneered and said, "What a big deal, three million taels, even if I can't afford so much money, he gave it to him just as King Wen said it. It seems that the title of King Wen's wealth is really not for nothing."
Sanbao continued: "More importantly, in order to win the trust of the two, King Zhao said that Zhao Xuanji had placed a person beside His Highness. This person was the confidant of the Eastern Palace, but King Zhao didn't know who it was. Perhaps only Zhao Xuanji knew."
These words immediately freeze the expression on Li Chen's face.
No matter who it is, when you find out that there is an insider around you, you won’t feel much better.
After a while, Li Chen, who had digested the news, laughed in anger and said, "It's interesting, it's really interesting."
Li Chen originally thought that he brought the Infernal Affairs to the Qin Dynasty, but he was taught to be a human being by the indigenous people.
The issue of installing an insider has never been anyone's patent.
The names and figures of everyone in the East Palace flashed through Li Chen's mind, but no clues were found at all.
He looked at Sanbao and said in a deep voice: "Do you think this news is Zhao Xuanji's pretentious or is it true?"
The Three Treasures had obviously thought about it on the way to come, and he replied: "Based on my understanding of Zhao Xuanji, there is a great possibility that this matter is true."
It seemed that I needed to explain why I made such a conclusion. Sanbao added: "Zhao Xuanji is a very cunning person, and his best attitude is to hide his weaknesses."
"He likes to slowly erode his opponents with long-term layout, and thunder blew up in silence. He is talking about people like Zhao Xuanji. When others are not ready, Zhao Xuanji has already made a lot of arrangements."
"Looking at Zhao Xuanji's entire political career as an official in the court, he has experienced countless political struggles, the most famous of which is that he personally mourned his mentor, Lin Zhibao, the richest man in the cabinet."
"At that time, Lin Zhibao fell in love with Zhao Xuanji, who was still a fifth-rank official, and transferred him from a free position to train him. Zhao Xuanji immediately showed his amazing ability and talent. So after several tests, Lin Zhibao finally decided to train Zhao Xuanji as his political successor."
"And Zhao Xuanji has always been respectful and polite to Lin Zhibao. In any case, Lin Zhibao is respected as his father."
"But it was such a pair of political allies who were as close as father and son. In the later years of the late emperor, the late emperor planned to eradicate those people who opposed the current saints in the court in order to smoothly hand over the imperial power, so he launched a New Year case. On the surface, this case was because the birthday gifts given to the late emperor, Lin Zhibao and others were transferred to the pack, which made the late emperor furious, and the court was covered with blood and killed thousands of people."
