"Ah, you are going to say this..." Gu Xun shook his head immediately after hearing this, "I know this, I have already seen her."
"It turns out that the Moon God Protector has also met you, my lord!" Gui Shanyan said.
Gu Xun immediately discovered the key point, "Yeah? Who else has she seen?"
"Well...according to what my spies know, the new Prime Minister, Guo Kai, should have met the Moon God Protector today. In addition, she should also have met other people, but it's hard to say whether it was just adults.
”
"Ha!" Gu Xun couldn't help but smile, "She still has some contact with Guo Kai? This is... interesting."
"How do you know that if the Moon Goddess wants to avoid you, you might not be able to follow her given the strength of your men?"
"It was Guo Kai who revealed it to us." Guichou gave the answer, "He has a close cooperative relationship with our Luo Wang. This time he attacked Li Mu, partly because Luo Wang added fuel to the flames."
"Yeah." Gu Xun nodded and didn't pay much attention. When Yueshen met Guo Kai, he probably wanted to take advantage of this guy. After all, as Zhao Wangqian's favorite minister, he asked him to investigate the copper coins that were closely related to the royal family.
A box is most suitable.
After using it, I will probably just take it out and pay my own reward.
So why did Guichou come here specifically to tell him this information?
"Sir, do you need us to keep an eye on the Yin Yang family's movements?" At this time, Guichou asked in a timely manner.
"Why do you say that the Yin Yang family is also considered a member of Da Qin? From what you say, it seems that you want to deal with them?" Gu Xun put a hand on the table and asked with a smile while supporting his head.
"This... I don't know, sir. The Yin Yang Family and Luo Sheng have never dealt with each other very well. There have been minor frictions between the two sides before. As a national master, you happen to be more powerful than the guardian of the Moon God. Your subordinates are also worried about each other.
What unfavorable thoughts will there be about you?"
"Luo Wang is at odds with the Yin Yang family? It's interesting. Let's elaborate." Gu Xun ignored the useless nonsense and asked what he was concerned about.
"My subordinates have a low status, so I don't know much about it. I only know that the Yin Yang family seems to have some disagreements with the top management of Luowang, and they have secretly fought for certain things and formed a quarrel." In the end, Guichou is just a small intelligence agent, but he is not a good person.
People at the character level naturally don’t know much.
But after hearing this vague answer, I roughly knew what was going on.
Therefore, Luo Wang also collected things related to Canglong Qisu in the past, which is normal given its strength... I just don't know if it has harvested anything, and if so, whose hands it has harvested now...
After quickly going over the information in his mind, Gu Xun raised his eyes and said to Guichou:
"You should try your best to keep an eye on the people of the Yin Yang family, but it is unlikely to gain anything. They have at least one protector and two elders, and there should not be many ordinary disciples."
"I obey," Guichou bowed and accepted the order and continued, "Also, Guo Kai also said that he will really take action against Li Mu soon."
"Well...how does he plan to attack Li Mu?" Gu Xun inquired.
Of course, Gu Xun was just asking a question and had no intention of interfering with Luo Wang's actions. This was a normal operation of the Qin-Zhao dispute, and he should not and did not need to forcefully intervene as a national advisor.
Although he has intervened, Guo Kai, an important partner in Luowang, may not survive for long, but this is what Gu Xun did, not the Qin State's national advisor. He will not deliberately sabotage and interfere with Qin's plans, but he will not
As for giving in to him in everything.
"He didn't say this clearly." Guichou shook his head, and then guessed, "But from the perspective of his subordinates, his first move must be to find a reason to impeach Li Mu and take the opportunity to weaken the other party's power." "Li Mu doesn't have much power in Handan... He wants to reduce Li Mu's power in the North?"
"This is inevitable." Guichou nodded and affirmed, "For Guo Kai, what he has to do is to force Li Mu step by step. If he forces the other party to have to fight back, it will be successful."
"As for Li Mu, he had to be patient. Facing Guo Kai's attack, he couldn't make too big a move to counterattack, otherwise he would probably completely offend Zhao Wangqian, and then everything would really be over.
”
Even if Guo Kai is the Prime Minister and a favorite minister, it is unrealistic to deal with Li Mu, a famous general, in a short time. His actions on the surface are slow to bear fruit, and his small actions in the dark... he can't defeat a large number of martial arts masters who follow him.
Li Mu.
Only by finding a way to make Zhao Wangqian determined to deal with Li Mu can this be done.
"Do you think Guo Kai has any hope of succeeding?" Gu Xun pondered for a while and then asked Guichou's opinion on this.
"Back to my lord..." Guichou cupped his fists, thought for a moment and then replied, "According to my subordinates, Guo Kai's success rate should be high."
"Li Mu is completely passive at this time and is in a state of being beaten. It is even inconvenient for him to fight back. Even the Northland Military God with unparalleled military strategy will find it difficult to do anything."
"Coupled with the fact that Zhao Wangqian... can be called fatuous, Li Mu may not be able to escape this time."
"Heh, maybe." Gu Xun curled his lips and smiled, then let the matter go without further discussion.
"Hmm...are there any big moves by other forces in the city?"
"In this regard..." Guichou pondered for a moment, organized his words and replied, "The people from the Armored Sect of Wei State are still hiding, so there should be nothing unusual."
"As for the Mo family, we have basically confirmed that their giant Six-fingered Black Man is already in Handan City, and there must be some hidden moves in the dark. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find out the other party's specific purpose."
"The farmer has transferred more ordinary disciples, probably to monitor your whereabouts, sir, but there are still no big shots here, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Are you sure there are no other forces in Handan City at this time?" Gu Xun asked again.
"This... To be honest, I can't be sure. The number of Jianghu people who have poured into Handan City during this period is huge, and their identities are difficult to determine. In addition... you also know that Luowen lost a large number of manpower not long ago, my subordinates.
We have also lost many capable men, and now our strength is not enough." Guichou half-knelt on the ground with fear in his voice, and answered and explained.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Gu Xun naturally has no interest in helping Luo Wang clean up the inside. It doesn't matter to him whether Guichou is incompetent or not. If he has information, he will know more, and if he doesn't, he will know less.
"Okay, what happened to the information I asked you to collect?" Gu Xun waved his hand, flipping over the article, and asked about what he asked Guichou to do last time.
"My subordinates have already collected a lot of them and are still collecting them. Such classics and materials are rare and hard to find, so it is not easy to find them." When talking about this, Guichou breathed a sigh of relief and replied calmly, returning it by the way.
He expressed that this job is not easy to do, and tried to highlight his contribution.
"Sir, do you need me to give you the part I have collected now? I will slowly look for the rest."
"Well, bring it over. I'll keep an eye on it first, and you can just keep looking." Gu Xun nodded, quite satisfied with this, and then added, "Remember, it's better to stay hidden."
"Don't tell anyone about this matter, and don't leave any file records. Once it's done, just treat it as if it never existed. Do you understand?"
"Well...if something goes wrong, there must be something wrong with you. You can imagine the consequences yourself."
"I understand, I understand!" Guichou quickly bowed his head and obeyed the order.
Gu Xun's instructions were actually a bit over the top. Logically speaking, Guichou should leave a file record for everything he did, but... he didn't dare to say no.
Although Gu Xun's words were light and airy, when they passed his ears, they carried a cold and cold killing intent, pure and awe-inspiring, which made Guichou, an old man who was used to seeing killing and death, couldn't help but tremble all over, and his heart
Fearful.
He is a tactful and worldly person who cherishes his life and body, so he naturally dare not refuse to agree.
Anyway, it was Gu Xun’s order. He was a superior official, so I didn’t dare to disobey him. If someone really found out in the future, they would have excuses... Guichou could only comfort himself in this way.
"Go ahead." Seeing that he recognized the situation, Gu Xun smiled with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, indicating that the other party could get out.
As for the issue of betrayal, Gu Xun is not very worried. Anyway, he has said what he said. If he doesn't do it well and is discovered by himself, he will not be able to blame others.
………………
In the morning of the next day, Guo Kai really started to attack Li Mu and proposed impeachment. He mentioned many crimes, such as excessive military expenditure in the North, too much power of Li Mu's shogunate, and blind defense of the Wolf clan without any military achievements.
Class nonsense.
Among them, the most serious one is the accusation that Li Mu provided too favorable conditions to the Northern Border Army. Not only was the military salary extremely high, but all logistical materials such as military equipment and food were over-supplied, far exceeding the required amount.
To buy the morale of the military and to have evil intentions.
In other words, Guo Kai said that Li Mu wanted to rebel.
Li Mu naturally responded point by point - favorable conditions are a must. It is bitterly cold in the north and often harassed by wolves. The life of a soldier is miserable. How can he be effective if he does not allow heavy profits? Moreover, he has never publicized these conditions in the army.
Everything given is said to be a gift from the king, so how can we talk about buying the morale of the army?
Therefore, it is inevitable that military expenditures will be too high.
As for the fact that his shogunate has too much power, this is also necessary. The northern border is far away from the capital, and the wolf clan often harasses and plunders. If everything waits for the central court to decide, how can we deal with the wolf clan?
In the end, Li Mu simply ignored the nonsense about military exploits.
During the period of King Xiaocheng, a large group of courtiers took issue with this. Even King Xiaocheng was persuaded and abolished Li Mu for a period of time. Later, he found that it was not possible without Li Mu. The border was in a state of devastation due to wolf intrusion, so he had to eliminate people again.
Go back.
Li Mu was worried that someone would say such things in the future, so... he made a plan to deliberately show weakness to the enemy, deceive the wolf tribe into taking the initiative, and take the opportunity to defeat the wolf tribe, killing tens of thousands of them, and surrendered Lin Hu.
The Donghu was crippled and the wolf clan's vitality was greatly damaged. They have not dared to invade the border for many years.
Since then, no one has dared to use this argument to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, Guo Kai mentioned it again... You have nothing to do and you can’t find a crime, right?
A court dispute broke out, and Guo Kai and Li Mu were not the only ones to suffer.
The courtiers who were attached to Guo Kai naturally attacked Li Muqun, grabbing at trivial matters.
Although Li Mu did not form a party in the court for personal gain or recruit comrades, there were always some sensible people who knew his importance and were speaking for him, and some were simply targeting Guo Kai.
There are rumors in the market that the two sides in the court were so quarrelsome that they almost rolled up their sleeves and started fighting.
Of course, the content that people talk about after dinner is somewhat exaggerated.
All in all, in this court meeting, Zhao Wangqian did not punish Li Mu in the end, but he also did not completely stop the impeachment actions of Guo Kai and others. He just suppressed it for the time being, and then... officially announced the impeachment of Gongzi Jia.
punishment, and his placement.
As the prince of Zhao State, when King Xiang died, he could not claim the throne, but he also had to receive rewards. So Zhao Wangqian followed the advice of Guo Kai, the Prime Minister of the State, and arranged a minor official job for Prince Jia in Handan City, and then
He also granted him a food fief of 300 households around Handan City.
The scale of this fiefdom... Among all the people in Zhao State who have fiefdoms, there are almost none smaller than him. It should be said that they are very chilling.
However, because of Prince Jiashan's behavior of leaving the royal capital, Zhao Wangqian was willing to be lenient and not to severely punish him. This was the limit. The Zhao family could not say anything more about these rewards and had to accept them.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Zhao Wangqian has not shown any intention to attack Li Mu yet, his connivance with Guo Kai already means that Li Mu's situation is not good.
After the court meeting, these news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Handan City, causing an uproar in both the government and the public.
Li Mu's popularity was so high that many people could not accept Guo Kai's slander and frame-up of him. For a while, people were talking about it and the sky was full of anger.
Although almost everyone is supporting Li Mu, but... this is not necessarily a good thing.
………………
Bang!
A muffled sound exploded in the room. The tall and burly Qin Wuyang withdrew his fist from the table, and then paced back and forth beside the table.
"Humph!" He snorted coldly and said in an indignant voice, "This Guo Kai actually attacked General Li Mu. Doesn't he care about the safety of the northern border!?"
On the other side, the six-fingered black man was still wearing a black and white cloak, sitting calmly at the top. Jing Ke was sitting opposite Qin Wuyang. Although his face was a little heavy, he was not as restless as the other person.
"Brother Wuyang, don't be so anxious. At the moment, Guo Kai is just casually framed General Li Mu. There is no evidence, and King Zhao has not punished General Li Mu."
"But Zhao Wangqian is clearly condoning Guo Kai's behavior, and he will take action sooner or later. Now the whole city knows it!" Qin Wuyang responded in an anxious voice.
Jing Ke was actually quite smart, and he had figured this out, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it at the moment, so he could only look up at the six-fingered black man.
"Jing Ke is right, Wuyang, don't mess up your position." The six-fingered black man first comforted Qin Wuyang, and then continued to order, "Now, the first thing is, you quickly arrange for our disciples to quell the rumors in the city.
Stop spreading rumors about General Li Mu.
"Why?" Qin Wuyang asked in confusion when he heard this, "This is not a message, it is a fact. General Li will be better off with the support of the people, right?"
"Do as you say." Jing Ke understood quickly and sighed softly, "Oh... this is not a good thing for General Li Mu. It is a life-threatening talisman!"
