"Great King, the minister heard that the previous plan to disrupt the State of Chu failed because Su Dai, who went to the State of Chu to implement the plan, not only did not do his best to fulfill the king's trust, but also coveted the gold that the king gave to Su Dai to make friends with the ministers of the Chu State. Therefore, it was because of the insufficient number of ministers he befriended, and the insufficient amount of gifts given, that the king's plan failed.

Otherwise, how could the plan that the king and his sons had planned for months fail? ”

When Qi Wangdi heard this, he looked at Lu Li beside him and frowned.

This Lu Li is the office of Lu Qi before, because the power of the Nakata clan is too strong, so in order to win over the old nobles of the original Qi country, he vigorously promoted Lu Li.

Of course, this is also because Tian Qi has been a country for a long time, and the strength of the Lu family is weak, and there is no hope of recovering the country, so he can promote Lu Li with confidence.

However, what made Qi Wangdi speechless was that after Lu Li was promoted, although he did let him win over some nobles, Lu Li fought with Su Dai because of the previous conflict with Su Dai, and then caused many new and old nobles in the country to do with Su Dai and their guests and lobbyists from various countries.

This is not the same as his idea of supporting the nobles to balance the Tian clan.

Fortunately, in addition to the accident of the Jixia School Palace, most of the guest lobbyists of the Qi State were implicated in Meng Weijun Tianwen, so Lu Li's situation against the Su Dynasty and the nobles against the guests was also in line with his mind.

However, although he never objected to Lu Li's actions, he would not all believe in the attacks of both sides, as they do now.

"Xianqing, the rumors in Linzi have also been heard, if you want to say that Su Zi is greedy, this widow believes it, but if you want to say that Su Zi betrayed the widow, greedy for the gold of the widow, and even took refuge in the king of Chu, this widow does not believe it."

"The king, the minister does not dare to agree, everyone knows that the Su Dynasty came to Qi back then, but the King of Yan funded it with a lot of money, it stands to reason that the Su agent should repay the Yan Kingdom. However, what did Su Dai do, first married Yan Xiang, and then slandered the king of Yan because of a mere hundred gold, which led to the chaos and destruction of the Yan Kingdom.

Su Dai even betrayed King Yan, who had the grace of knowing him, let alone the king. You must know that Su Dai's betrayal of King Yan was only because of 100 gold, and now Su Dai's greed for ink is not 100 gold, but ten times, 1,000 gold. ”

"This..." Qi Wangdi not only frowned, but also hesitated a little in his heart.

When Su Dai received 100 gold from Yan Xiangzi, although he may not have expected that he would lead to the destruction of Yan Kingdom because of his slander, but in reality, Su Dai really betrayed King Yan because of 100 gold, and he couldn't wash away this charge no matter what.

Since Su Dai had a criminal record back then, it is not impossible now, whether Su Dai is greedy for a thousand gold or accepts a bribe from a thousand gold.

It's just that Qi Wangdi looked at Lu Li on his side, but his face did not show a different color.

Lu Li has always been at odds with Su Dai, and he can't listen to and believe partially.

Thinking about it, King Qi shook his head and said, "Su Zi is unwilling to go thousands of miles to the Chu State to take risks, how can he be greedy for money or accept bribes from the King of Chu?" This won't happen, please don't mention it again. ”

Lu Li's eyes had already seen the hesitation in King Qi's eyes, and knew that he had planted a seed of doubt in King Qi's heart and had achieved his goal, so he stopped talking and replied, "Yes, Great King." ”

After Lu Li left, Qi Wangdi pondered for a long time, and then found his close minister Gong Yudan and said: "Xianqing, recently there are rumors in the city that Su Zi received bribes from Chu people or embezzled money from widows, and the ministers have spoken out one after another, demanding that Su Zi be severely punished. Su Zi is a minister trusted by the widow, and because of the rumors, he easily disposes of his minister, and the widow thinks it is inappropriate.

However, if the suspicion on Su Zi cannot be washed away, the widow will not be able to convince the public. ”

Saying that, Qi Wangdi looked at Gong Yudan and said lightly: "Su Zi will return to Linzi in a few days, Xianqing will quietly go to see if Su Zi has betrayed the widow." ”

When Gong Yudan heard this, he remembered that someone had sent him a heavy gift to his house a few days ago, and immediately responded: "Please rest assured, the minister will definitely find out this matter clearly." ”

"Good."

Two days later, Su Dai returned to Linzi.

In the Qi Palace.

After listening to Su Dai's account, Qi Wangdi looked at Su Dai and frowned: "Su Zi thinks what is the current situation of Chu State, if the widow gathers troops to attack Chu State again, the victory or defeat will be great." ”

Su Dai remembered the five hundred gold given by the king of Chu, and replied with a smile: "King, the national strength of the state of Chu is strong, and the king of Chu has informed the state of Chu for thirty years, the national strength is thriving, the ministers are convinced, and the people are attached, even though the king of Chu has been brutal in recent years, but the ministers of the state of Chu still dare not disobey the orders of the king of Chu."

Therefore, the minister thought that if the king led the Qi army to fight against the Chu State alone, the outcome would be unpredictable. ”

When Qi Wangdi heard this, he couldn't help but sink in his heart when he thought of the things in the land of Sixi.

If it is really as Su Dai said, then the Qi army alone against the Song army under Zang Xin and the Chu army under Jingyang, with one enemy and two, basically has no chance of winning.

At this time, Su Dai saw that King Qi's eyes showed a heavy color, and said again: "But the king doesn't have to worry, the king of Chu has been perverse over the years, which has made the feudal monarch of Chu extremely unhappy, if the king of Chu recruits the Chu army from all over the country to fight, the feudal monarch may have to obey, but if you want to let the feudal monarchs from all over the country fight to the death for the king of Chu, it is also impossible."

Therefore, the minister thought that as long as the king continued to suppress the Chu State together with other countries, bullying the weak with the strong, and giving the Chu State an invincible posture, most of the feudal monarchs of the Chu State would tremble, always thinking about fleeing, and unwilling to die for the King of Chu.

Therefore, the minister thought that if the next countries attacked Chu again, the coalition army would win. ”

Qi Wangdi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded to Su Dai: "Suzi, let's get here today, Suzi has been tired all the way, please go back and rest early." ”

When Su Dai heard this, he responded with some emotion in his heart: "King Xie." ”

Soon, Gong Yudan came to King Qi's side: "King, the minister has already found out, that Su Dai really betrayed the king as rumored and accepted the gift of the king of Chu." ”

"What?" Qi Wangdi was stunned, looked at Gong Yudan in disbelief and said, "Seriously, Qing has really found out." ”

"Absolutely." Gong Yudan nodded and said, "After Su Dai entered the Linzi range, the minister kept an eye on him, and saw with his own eyes that when he returned to the capital, there were five carriages by his side, and three of them were full of heavy boxes. In order to take advantage of Su Dai's absence, the minister also took advantage of Su Dai's absence to buy Su Dai's doorman with a lot of money, and then learned from Su Dai's doorman... I learned..."

"What did you learn?" Qi Wangdi's voice sank.

Gong Yudan gritted his teeth and said: "The king knows why this operation failed, it is because the thief of Su Dai received a bribe from the king of Chu, which gave the king of Chu a chance, so after Su Dai left Chu, Chen Zhen secretly met with Su Dai and gave Su Dai a heavy gift." ”

"What?" Qi Wangdi hated and said: "Damn, this guy Su Dai really betrayed the widow!" ”

Five days later.

Tian Wen reported to the king of Qi with a worried face: "Great King, it's not good, the minister got the news that the ministers of the countries who secretly sent envoys to the Chu State before, except for Su Zi, the other three were ambushed and killed by the Chu State, and all of them died on the spot, and only a few people fled back to various countries to report the news." Moreover, the news sent back by Wei and Han both said that Su Zi accepted a bribe from the king of Chu and deliberately revealed the whereabouts of the three people, so it led to the death of the three people.

Now, Wei Xiang Zhai Qiang is very angry because of the death of his brother Zhai Zhang, and threatens to revenge the generation. Moreover, Wei has already sent people to contact Qin and Han to put pressure on our country to hand over the Su Dynasty. ”

"What." Qi Wangdi was stunned.

Could it be that Su Dai not only betrayed the Qi State, but also the other three countries.

Thinking about it, Qi Wangdi's eyes were cold.

···

In Su Dai's mansion, after Su Dai received the edict from the King of Qi, he showed disbelief: "The king wants to expel me because of the rumors in the city?" ”

Gong Yudan, who came to announce the edict, shook his head indifferently and said, "It's not because of rumors, but because of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei." ”

"Three Kingdoms?"

"Yes, maybe Su Zi doesn't know that the envoys of various countries who went to Chu with Su Zi, only Su Zi and you returned to the country safely. Now the Three Kingdoms came to question, to kill Mr. to take revenge, many of the ministers advocated killing Su Zi to win over the Three Kingdoms, but, fortunately, the right prime minister said, fortunately the king is benevolent, so he decided to protect Mr.

However, the king can no longer let Mr. work, so please take care of him. ”

After Gong Yudan finished speaking, he turned around and left directly.

After Gongyudan left for a long time, Su Dai reacted that he was expelled by King Qi, and he was really expelled.

And the reason for the expulsion was only because of some rumors in Linzi.

Talking about the Three Kingdoms, it's not that the King of Qi doesn't trust him and thinks that he betrayed the State of Qi, otherwise how could the King of Qi believe that he betrayed the Three Kingdoms?

At this time, Su Dai suddenly remembered the King of Chu, the rumors that the King of Chu faced not long ago were much more violent than the King of Qi, and even there was serious turmoil in the country, but in this case, the King of Chu still kept Zhaoju.

The so-called no comparison is harmless, and now this comparison, his heart is cold.

You must know that he took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Chu State to spread rumors, divide the ministers of Chu State, and disturb all parts of Chu State, but he took a great risk.

Moreover, in order to deal with the State of Chu, he can be said to have exhausted his mind, and he competed with the monarchs and ministers of the State of Chu with the intelligence of one person, and he still fought back and forth.

At the same time, in order to deal with the state of Chu, he not only used up all the money given by the king of Qi, but also took the money he brought, and even in the end, he also bought the sword that he bought with a lot of money and used it to accompany his funeral.

In doing so, he can be said to be loyal to the king of Qi with all his heart.

But what about King Qi?

But because of a little rumor, he was expelled from him.

Hate, big hate.

However, now that he has been expelled by the King of Qi, can he go there?

Qi can't stay anymore.

Chu State··· He just calculated the state of Chu, and likewise the state of Chu just calculated him, and the state of Chu could not go.

Qin, Wei and Han Kingdoms··· The Three Kingdoms are trying to kill him, and the Three Kingdoms can't go.

Yan Guo··· King Yan hated him to death in his heart, but it was only because he was quite trusted by King Qi in the Qi State before that he was false to him. If he goes to Yan Kingdom now, King Yan, who served him as a guest before, will definitely kill the blood sacrifice temple.

So...

At this moment, a doorman came to report: "Your Majesty, the right prime minister sent someone to give gifts..."
