On the third day after New Year's Day, on the third day of the 11th month in 255 B.C.

On this day, several ministers of Zhao State were urgently summoned to the main hall of Longtai by Zhao Dan, and were told a very exciting news.

"Duan Ganzi, the prime minister of Wei, poisoned the king of Wei in public at the New Year's Day dinner, and controlled the 20,000 Wei Praetorian Guards in Taoyi City, imprisoned almost all the middle and high-level ministers of Wei, and supported the ten-year-old prince to become the new king of Wei!"

As soon as this news was thrown out, the ministers of Zhao State present were really surprised.

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng, and then said to all the courtiers in front of him: "Okay, this is all the information that the widow can know now, you can talk about how to deal with this matter next." ”

Because this matter was too sudden, the ministers of Zhao State present did not speak immediately, but fell into thought.

Since such a major event was known by the Zhao State, it would be sooner or later that the other countries would learn about it.

The people present have all experienced strong winds and waves, and they have all witnessed the scene of the old king going to the new king, and they all know one thing very clearly, that is, this kind of time is often the time when the undercurrents of the entire continent are surging, so they must act cautiously at this time.

Zhao Sheng coughed lightly and took the lead in speaking: "Great King, the minister thinks this is an excellent opportunity, Duan Ganzi's wolf ambition is actually a rebellion, if the king sends troops to quell Duan Ganzi's rebellion, he will definitely be able to get the praise of the princes and make the king's prestige go to a higher level!" ”

After all, Zhao Sheng was the one who participated in the plan, and in the eyes of this Pingyuan Jun, Zhao Dan should have hoped to achieve the goal of making Wei no longer hostile to Zhao by killing Wei Wangyu and supporting the new monarch of Wei, so that Zhao could expand with confidence abroad.

In addition, this time he was able to get rid of Duan Ganzi, an annoying guy, which was also a good thing for Zhao Guo.

It's just that there will always be people who think differently from Zhao Sheng.

As soon as Zhao Sheng's voice fell, Lian Po snorted and said, "Pingyuanjun, what's the use of prestige these days?" Our Zhao State was the leader of the alliance before, and we didn't see the countries working together with Zhao State. The king, it is better to let the old minister lead the troops to take this opportunity to attack the Wei State and take down the Taoyi for the king! ”

Since the defeat of the first battle of Gaotang, General Lian Po has been very depressed for a while, and he is extremely eager to wash away his shame through the victory of a war, so that the world can see the prestige of General Lian Po again.

In general, the plan proposed by Zhao Sheng belongs to using the righteous division to gain prestige, while the plan proposed by Lian Po belongs to taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Pang Xuan, who was standing on the side with Zhao Sheng, frowned, and said: "Wu Xinjun's words are wrong, you must know that the king has just completed the alliance with the King of Wei and signed a peace treaty, if he sends troops to attack the Wei State at this moment, wouldn't he do that betrayal of the alliance and be laughed at by the people of the world?" This must not be done. ”

Yu Xin also stood up to support his ally Lian Po, and said slowly: "Pang Qing inevitably pays too much attention to such illusory things as prestige, not to mention it, just say that the prestige of the Qin State in the era of King Qin Zhaoxiang among the Chinese countries?" It is simply infamous and alienated by all the countries of the world. But with the strength of the Qin State, even if all the countries in the world hate Qin, they are helpless, and they can only let the Qin State become bigger. ”

"Now under the wise rule of the king, the Zhao State has long been far superior to the Qin State in the past, so the Qin State can wantonly conquer other countries if it is overbearing, can the Zhao State not be able to do it? Moreover, it is common for the old and new monarchs to encounter invasions from other countries when they are handed over, so how can people in the world use this to condemn Zhao and the king? ”

Yu Xin's meaning is also very simple, don't think about anything that is not prestigious, just send troops to do it.

Our Zhao Guo is the first in the world, what we want is a love, and what stands out is that we can do whatever we want!

Taking advantage of the fire to rob this thing has not been done for hundreds of years, so you other countries are also big brothers, don't laugh at the second brother!

The ministers of the two sides quarreled constantly, and the topic reached an impasse for a while.

Zhao Dan knocked on the table, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then directly named: "Zheng Qing, what is your opinion?" ”

Zhao Dan looked at Zheng Zhu with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Zheng Zhu hesitated for a while and said: "The king, the minister thinks that whether it is to send troops in the name of crusading against the traitor Duan Ganzi or attacking the Wei State, the rest of the princes will definitely not sit idly by, and it may even trigger a new round of rebellion against the Zhao State, so that the king will suffer from it, it is better to sit and watch the internal turmoil in Wei." ”

After Zheng Zhu's words were finished, Zhao Dan felt a little disappointed in his heart, and slowly shook his head.

Whether it is Zhao Sheng, Lian Po or Zheng Zhu, none of the three plans proposed by these important ministers of Zhao State can satisfy Zhao Dan.

In other words, none of the plans are in line with Zhao Dan's ideas.

If that's all Zhao Dan wants, then why would he go to such great lengths to plan such an assassination of Wei Wangyu?

Speaking of which, although these ministers of Zhao State are all outstanding in the world, none of them have the same idea as Zhao Dan in this matter, which makes Zhao Dan a little helpless.

But it was at this time that Zhao Dan's eyes suddenly noticed a minister who had not spoken.

This minister is none other than Lieutenant Li Si of Zhao Guo, who has just taken office and only has the right to sit in on the hearing, but has not participated in the discussion.

At this moment, Li Si seemed to be thinking about something, and the whole person looked a little distracted, and there was even a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

A very standard, conspiracy smile.

Zhao Dan coughed and said slowly: "Li Si, let's talk about your opinion." ”

Li Si obviously didn't expect that he would be named by Zhao Dan at all, so he didn't even come back to his senses at first, until Zhao Dan coughed heavily again, Li Si reacted and hurriedly apologized to Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk about your opinion on this matter." ”

Li Si looked obviously a little excited, and his cheeks were a little red, after all, the feeling of being able to only wear his ears but not his mouth was really uncomfortable, this was the first time he had spoken, and it was also the first time he had participated in Zhao Guo's military affairs!

Li Si took a deep breath, and then said to Zhao Dan: "King, in the eyes of the minister, this is actually a great opportunity!" ”

Zhao Dan's face moved slightly, and he said, "What kind of great opportunity?" ”

Li Si's face turned straight, and he said in a deep voice: "A great opportunity to destroy the Wei State!" ”
