Li Mu has always been clean and upright, and has a good reputation in the Zhao court. He is not involved in the battles between various forces. Therefore, everyone in Wujiabao has the same view as the Wushiluo before. The reason why Wujiabao fell to such a fate is the same as that of Julu Hou Zhao.
Mu is inseparable. The person Wu Tingfang is most familiar with is Bai Gui, so when she sees Bai Gui, she immediately scolds him.
It was beneath his status to argue with a woman. Bai Gui glanced at Wu Tingfang and said nothing. She was just a beautiful and brainless woman. He signaled to the diners around him, and someone took action on his behalf.
After a while, half of Wu Tingfang's face became swollen.
"The head of the Wu clan has no way to control his subordinates and his family tradition is not right. No wonder he suffered like this." Bai Gui clamped his horse's belly and walked to the vicinity of Wushi Luo, who was being guarded by the soldiers. He looked down and said, "It is your Majesty's duty to eradicate Wujiapu."
Although there are some contradictions between the Wu Clan Chief and my father, the king is wise and powerful, how can he listen to one side's words? Now that the Wu Clan Chief and his family have been captured, he insists that it is my Julu Marquis Mansion who instigated the king. Could it be... that he thinks...
Is your Majesty in a state of confusion?"
Bai Gui has long been accustomed to being accused of minor crimes.
Even though many ministers in the Zhao court thought that Zhao Wangdan was not wise, such words could not be said. Wu Tingfang and others in the Wu family said this, which gave him an excuse to use the topic.
Even if the assassination was proven false in the future, this accusation alone would be enough for everyone in the Wu family to drink.
What's more, the Wu Mansion is not aboveboard in the first place, so there is no need to frame him with trumped-up charges.
"You..." Wu Shiluo's expression suddenly changed.
During the Warring States Period, the officialdom culture was not yet prosperous. Even though there was a "literary prison", he could not be as skilled as Bai Gui. The main thing was that Bai Gui's words made sense to him. With such rhetoric, not to mention that compared to Su Qin and Zhang Yi,
Even if you go to any country, you can prosper.
He suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart. If he had known that "Zhao Li" was so powerful, why would he have to fight against Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu? With Yun Wen and Wu, such an elite, he was destined to be unable to defeat Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu.
Seeing this, Li Mu didn't think it was shameful for Bai Gui to talk. A few years ago, Zhao Xianglin Xiangru also relied on his words to become a hero of the Zhao Kingdom.
"Chief Wu, I'm sorry."
Li Mu came over, bowed his hand to Wushi Luo, and then waved his hand without waiting for Wushi Luo to speak, asking the Zhao army to escort the Wushi family to Gandan City to accept the punishment of Zhao Wangdan.
Zhao Jun began to move out, leaving Wujiabao full of devastation.
This attack on Wujiapu not only captured the entire Wu family alive, but also captured the Wu family's decades of accumulation of merchants, war horses, iron armor, gold and silver, etc. These items alone were enough to last half a year of Zhao's life.
tax.
"What a pity..."
Halfway through, Li Mu started chatting with Bai Gui, and the two soon talked about the situation of the Wu family, "In the past few years, the Wu family was still a loyal minister of our Zhao country, but since the defeat of Changping,
After that, Zhao’s national power could no longer compare with Qin’s, so gradually some Zhao ministers secretly defected to Qin, and Wu Shiluo was one of them..."
There is something he didn't say. Today's Zhao State is declining, and anyone can see the national power of Qin State. Qin State will dominate the world sooner or later. The reason why today's Qin State has not destroyed South Korea and the Three Jin Dynasties is that Qin State
Domestic political turmoil, in just three or four years, the King of Qin changed twice, so he had no time to send troops to the six countries, giving the six countries a chance to survive. Secondly, Qin was afraid that after destroying a country, it would cause turmoil in the world.
, so I have been looking for a suitable opportunity...
Today, the Qin State already has more than half of the world.
Wu Shiluo turned from a loyal minister of the country to a treacherous minister, and Li Mu felt unhappy.
The conversation deepened. Bai Gui saw Li Mu saying this and subconsciously came up with this idea in his mind. However, Li Mu was a famous lonely minister in Zhao State, and he didn't mind whether Li Mu's words were a test.
He laughed and said: "General Li is overly worried. Qin has already produced several wise kings. Since ancient times, when the moon is full, it will be weak, and when the water is full, it will overflow. As long as the next Qin king is stupid, the six countries will have the opportunity to counterattack...
"
Qin State produced six generations of wise kings in succession, until the First Emperor, who unified the world. This is the end of history. But in the eyes of celebrities from all over the world, the next monarch of Qin State may not be able to remain wise...
What Bai Gui said is also the mainstream view of the Six Nations.
As for the deeper things, he would not speak easily and reveal the news.
Li Mu nodded and said "I hope so."
Soon, the two of them returned to the court.
But as soon as I reached the palace hall, I heard someone in the palace talking about the assassination of Zhao Wangdan.
"The king was assassinated?"
"The king was assassinated again?"
Li Mu and Bai Gui looked at each other and hurriedly entered the palace.
When they entered the palace, there were heavy curtains on the throne, and people kept coming in and out. Through the curtains, Zhao Wangdan could be vaguely seen, but his face was pale and a little uncomfortable.
"Did you two capture the Wushi Ruohe clan?"
Zhao Wangdan coughed and asked.
His voice sounded slightly weak.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two stepped forward and replied.
"The Wushi Luo was so daring that he took advantage of the king's division of troops and assassinated the king. The humble ministers boldly asked for orders to have the entire Wushi Luo family executed. Their heads were announced at the city gate for a month as a warning to others."
Among the two rows of ministers, one man stepped out and made a speech.
"I second the proposal."
Another group of ministers bowed and agreed.
Seeing this, Bai Gui nodded. Sure enough, everything was under his control.
Wushi Luo was assassinated for the second time. King Zhao was not sure whether it was Wushi Luo who assassinated him, and the officials were not sure either. But a good scapegoat like Wushi Luo had been found. Whether it was King Zhao or the officials,
Everyone hopes that Wu Shiluo will be charged with this crime.
Wushi Luo is not the only one who wants to make good friends with the people of Qin. Half of the Zhao ministers in the Zhao court have more or less private connections with Qin. They are also afraid that King Zhao will use the topic to exploit them and find trouble on their heads. So this wave of turmoil
, they will definitely try their best to narrow it down to a range.
If it’s not done by Wu Shiluo, it must be done by Wu Shiluo….
As for whether Wu Fu was wronged for this matter?
In the dispute between Qin and Zhao, if these fence-sitting factions dared to place bets, they had to be prepared to be killed. When Wu Shiluo was selling horses for the Qin State, he had already sentenced Zhao Wangdan to death in his heart. Everything that follows is all
In order to prepare for the eradication of Wujiapu, Wu Shiluo had already anticipated this outcome. However, what Wu Shiluo did not expect was that King Zhao would strike so quickly and ruthlessly.
"The people of Wufu are waiting for discussion."
King Zhao stood up and waved his hand weakly, "The second assassination has not yet been found out. Whether it was done by Wushi Luo or it is still unknown. It will not be too late to make a judgment after the truth comes out."
As long as Wu Shiluo is alive, he will be a knife hanging over the heads of the ministers of Zhao State. All he has to do is let Wu Shiluo identify which minister he wants to execute. He is not willing to kill such a useful chess piece early.
Leave it idle. In addition, Wushiluo's wealth is not only that of Wujiabao, but can be looted again.
Therefore..., it is better for Wu Shiluo to remain alive than to die.
"The king is wise."
The ministers who stood up retreated with unwilling expressions.
In the past, King Zhao could not deal with them in any way. But with the addition of Wushi Luo, they had to be on tenterhooks day and night. Because this was an assassination attempt on the king, which meant that King Zhao Dan had great righteousness in his hands. Even if it was deeply implicated, the people of the country
I also think this is common sense.
"I am..." Zhao Wangdan coughed a few more times. When he returned to the palace, the chariot bumped a few times. At first, the injury was not serious, but after the bumps, the bleeding became a bit heavy, and the body could no longer bear it. The injury was obvious.
, the old wounds recurred, and he murmured: "I have returned to the palace to recuperate for a few days. The government affairs for these few days will be handed over to the consort for the time being. Juluhou, you must also obey the orders of the consort..."
He was still in his prime, so it was impossible to hand over power to the prince. In the past, the Sand Dune Rebellion was still fresh in his mind. Prince Cheng killed the young master Zhang who had caused the rebellion. He was afraid that King Zhao Wuling would settle the score with him, so he sent troops to surround the palace and kill King Zhao Wuling.
A generation of British masters starved to death. Zhao Wangdan thought that he was no match for his master's father (King Zhao Wuling), so he never dared to let the prince take charge of the court...
Among the royal family, only "Zhao Li" has a long-standing reputation, but his foundation is not stable, and he is vaguely at odds with his father, Julu Hou. It is a good choice to temporarily take charge of the court. With a son to control his father, over time, Julu Hou
Zhao Mu will definitely be dissatisfied with his domineering nature, and the separation of father and son will not be far away.
Of course, he only stayed away from the government for a few days to recuperate, so he would not cause any big chaos. Letting "Zhao Li" take charge of the government now is just to pave the way for him to serve as the prime minister in the future.
"My son, I would like to thank my father."
Bai Gui stepped forward to receive the order.
He has no soldiers and horses, and he has no reputation in the army. The same goes for Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu. Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, is just a lucky minister. Therefore, it is not incomprehensible for Zhao Wangdan to behave like this. Even if Zhao Wangdan had not done anything
After making such a decision, he could also ask Zhao Qian to return to the palace to persuade King Zhao to delegate his power. If that didn't work, there would be other strategies. In fact, all strategies would not work, and there would be magic to back it up.
…
Qin State, Xianyang.
Although the team that escorted Zhao Zheng back to China had been surrounded by assassins several times, fortunately, Xiang Shaolong heroically killed the enemy and finally allowed Zhao Zheng to return to his homeland without any danger.
"Thanks to Mr. Bai for warning me in advance along the way..."
Xiang Shaolong was sitting in the carriage, holding a bronze mirror in his hand, and said with gratitude: "If it weren't for you, Mr. Bai, no matter how powerful my fists and feet are, I still can't beat four hands. It only hinders Mr. Bai from using your magic power.
The injury has worsened."
Outsiders thought that he had superb swordsmanship, but he understood that if the man in the mirror had not secretly helped him, he would have almost been killed several times with a direct sword, or his life would have been taken with a secret arrow.
"These are just little things."
The man in the mirror coughed lightly, his face looked a little pale, and he said: "As long as you cultivate to the realm of golden elixir and go to Penglai Immortal Island, you may be able to find the reason why I stooped here. I will help you, too.
I have selfish motives for my own enlightenment, so you don’t have to be too grateful."
After experiencing everything along the way, he also opened up his heart and told Xiang Shaolong some of his secrets, such as the fact that his magic power was greatly reduced and he suffered internal injuries.
"Mr. Bai..."
Xiang Shaolong was moved when he heard this.
At first, he was slightly doubtful about the man in the mirror, but after hearing these words, all doubts were quickly gone. After all, the man in the mirror said that helping him was also for his own gain. Yes, if not
For the sake of one's own private affairs, who is willing to teach Taoism to others easily?
"Stop talking, we are almost at the palace."
"There are people in the palace who have good luck and are harmful to my immortal family. I will become invisible first."
The person in the mirror interrupted Xiang Shaolong's words, and with a flash of movement, the figure on the bronze mirror disappeared immediately. The bronze mirror returned to calmness, and was not much different from an ordinary mirror.
The carriage stopped outside the royal palace.
Xiang Shaolong stepped out of the carriage.
"Xiangbang, this is Xiang Shaolong, a retainer of the Wu family, who escorted the prince all the way back to Xianyang." The Qin envoy also got off the carriage. He walked to an imposing man with gray hair and said.
Prime Minister? Lu Buwei?
Xiang Shaolong's expression became solemn, and he immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Xiang Shaolong has met Xiangbang."
Lu Buwei's name is famous in other countries, and it will be the same in later generations. He does not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
"You have done a good job in escorting the prince. After the king and the prince recognize each other, you...will be rewarded heavily."
Lu Buwei glanced at Xiang Shaolong lightly and said casually.
Xiang Shaolong originally thought that he would be taken seriously when he came to Qin, but he did not expect that after meeting Lu Buwei, he would be despised. Although Lu Buwei did not express it in his words, his contempt for him was obvious in his words.
"Lu Buwei is good at sneaking into the camp. In his eyes, you are just a brave man. It is understandable that he looks down on you. However, you have to be careful. He just glanced at Zhao Ji and then at you. With his shrewdness, I must have seen the private affairs between Zhao Ji and you..."
Suddenly, Xiang Shaolong heard the voice of the person in the mirror.
A sudden chill ran down his back, and he looked towards Sakon. Zhao Ji looked at Lu Buwei with affection, but Lu Buwei took a few steps back and glanced at him coldly.
Even though Lu Buwei has not discovered his private affair with Zhao Ji now, the convoy returning to Qin was crowded with people, and even if he and Zhao Ji acted carefully, it would not be difficult for someone to get some information.
"Qin Yiren is seriously ill and Zhao Zheng ascends the throne. It is foreseeable that Zhao Ji will become the queen mother in the future and will inevitably have power. You and Zhao Ji have a private matter, which means that you will become Lu Buwei's political enemy in the future..."
The man in the mirror analyzed.
Xiang Shaolong felt chilled all over when he heard this whip-piercing analysis.
"Mr. Bai, don't worry..."
He gritted his teeth, feeling that the way he looked just now was a bit embarrassing, and said quickly: "I am a time traveler. I have known about him Lu Buwei for a long time. And with the analysis of Mr. Bai, a historian, I can defeat Lu Buwei in Qin State." It’s not a difficult thing, I have the confidence.”
As a time traveler, he has always maintained a sense of superiority towards the natives of the Warring States Period.
What's more, the man in the mirror is a famous historian...
He doesn't have to be afraid of Lu Buwei.
"You are right. You don't need to be afraid of Lu Buwei. As long as you have the support of Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng, Lu Buwei is afraid of these two people and will not attack you. You just need to wait for the opportunity."
The person in the mirror smiled, as if appreciating Xiang Shaolong's decisiveness.
