After Wan Jiaojiao left, Li Chen walked back to his seat and sat down, and then said, "Tell me, what is so important."
Sanbao looked serious and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, news just came from Xu Wei that Duan Jinjiang and Long Huaiyu appeared together in Prince Zhao's Mansion. They are suspected of colluding with King Wen and came to negotiate with King Zhao on behalf of King Wen. The two parties have reached an agreement.
cooperation.”
"At King Zhao's request, King Wen will provide King Zhao with three million taels of silver and 800 elite swordsmen and axemen."
Li Chen sneered and said: "What a big deal, three million taels. Even I can't afford that much money. King Wen just gave it to him. It seems that King Wen is the richest among the vassals in the world."
The name is really not for nothing."
Sanbao continued: "What's more important is that in order to win the trust of the two of them, King Zhao said that Zhao Xuanji had placed a person beside His Highness. This person was a confidant of the East Palace, but King Zhao didn't know who it was. Maybe it was only Zhao Xuanji.
Only one person knows the secret."
These words immediately solidified the originally relaxed expression on Li Chen's face.
No matter who it is, they will not feel much better when they learn that there is a mole among their confidants.
After a while, Li Chen digested the news and laughed angrily: "It's interesting, it's really interesting."
Li Chen thought he had brought Infernal Affairs to Da Qin, but he was taught how to behave by the natives.
Planting a mole is never anyone's exclusive property.
The names and figures of everyone in the East Palace flashed through Li Chen's mind, but he couldn't find any clues at all.
He looked at Sanbao and said in a deep voice: "Do you think this news is a lie by Zhao Xuanji, or is it true?"
Sanbao had obviously thought about it on the way here, and he replied: "Based on my understanding of Zhao Xuanji, the possibility of this matter being true is extremely high."
As if he felt it was necessary to explain why he made such a conclusion, Sanbao added: "Zhao Xuanji is a man of great depth, and what he is best at is hiding his clumsiness."
"He likes to use a long-term layout method to slowly eat away at his opponents and stir up thunder in silent places. He is talking about people like Zhao Xuanji. Often, Zhao Xuanji has already made many arrangements before others are ready.
"
"Throughout Zhao Xuanji's entire political career as an official in the court, he has experienced countless political struggles. The most famous one is that he personally buried his mentor, Lin Zhibao, the richest man in the former cabinet."
"Back then, Lin Zhibao took a fancy to Zhao Xuanji, who was only a fifth-grade official, and transferred him from a casual position to train him. Zhao Xuanji immediately showed his amazing abilities and talents, so after several tests, Lin Zhibao
, and finally decided to devote all his efforts to cultivating Zhao Xuanji as his political successor."
"And Zhao Xuanji has always been respectful and polite to Lin Zhibao. No matter what the situation, he respects Lin Zhibao as his second father."
"But it was such a pair of political allies who were as close as father and son. In the late years of the late emperor, in order to ensure a smooth transition of imperial power, the late emperor planned to eliminate those who opposed the current emperor in the court, so he initiated the Lunar New Year Case. On the surface, the case
It seems that the birthday gifts given by Lin Zhibao and others to celebrate the late emperor's new year were subtracted, which made the late emperor furious, so blood flowed throughout the court and thousands of people were killed."
