Guo Jia and Zhang Liang both returned to the house, and after the two informed Xiao Rui of the progress, Xiao Rui also put forward his plan.

Xiao Rui's plan is not just as simple as robbing the crown princess of Zhao State, but extending more schemes through the matter of robbing people, so as to force Zhao Haizhi, the crown prince of Zhao State, to usurp the throne!

After Zhang Liang and Guo Jia listened to Xiao Rui's plan, they applauded, although it was only the general process proposed, but they pointed out the way, as for the details, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang could easily handle it with the wisdom of the two!

In one night, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang finalized the details of all the plans, and the next day began, the plan began!

First of all, Li Yuanfang infiltrated the Zhenguo Mansion and investigated which maid could get closest to the grandmother of the crown princess, and then lured her out of the mansion, knocked her unconscious and took her away, and then threatened to ask for some useful information, and then Azhu disguised herself and pretended to be a maid to enter the Zhenguo Mansion, and then poisoned the old woman!

The poison is not very toxic, it will only make the old woman feel uncomfortable, and it is not immediately poisoned, the crown princess Nie Qian also sent the imperial doctor to see, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it to no avail, judging that it was a tiring journey, and she would rest for a few days and then see.

Also because of the old woman's illness, Ah Zhu, who was dressed as a maid, had to be accompanied by a close escort, and he had to be quiet and not disturbed, so no one found out that Ah Zhu was pretending!

Azhu is already in place!

On the other hand, Guo Jia went to see Zhao Kuangming the next day, and this time, Zhao Kuangming did not pretend, but reluctantly agreed to deal with Prince Zhao.

Guo Jia had already guessed that he would agree, so he planned and began to discuss with Zhao Kuangming how to do it.

Zhao Kuangming said: "The prince lives in the East Palace, not only is there the protection of the forbidden army, but also the mysterious master, and it is extremely difficult to enter the palace to assassinate, so he can only wait for the opportunity to move when he leaves the palace." Now that our Great Xia is fighting Qin with all our might, the crown prince, as the prince, should share the worries of my father. And in the past few days, my father's health happened to be sick, so this king can let other people make suggestions and let the crown prince go to the temple to worship instead of my father! When the time comes, we will send a master to secretly ambush him, and assassinate him while he is worshipping, and great things can be accomplished! ”

Zhao Kuangming is very cunning, if he follows his actions, the whole thing has nothing to do with him, and the person who assassinated Prince Zhao will not survive, and he will inevitably be dismantled by the forbidden army.

If it was before, Guo Jia categorically would not agree to Zhao Kuangming's plan, but now it is a plan within a plan, their target is Emperor Zhao, not Prince Zhao at all, so what is the use of Prince Zhao even if he dies a thousand times? How to force Prince Zhao to usurp the throne is the key, as long as Prince Zhao usurps the throne, Emperor Zhao will definitely be in turmoil, which gives him the opportunity to deal with Emperor Zhao, and at the same time makes Zhao State go to destruction faster!

According to the plan, Zhao Kuangming is also a key link, so playing with him at this time and relaxing his guard is the key.

"Good! Then it depends on the means of the Rui prince, I will gather the dead as soon as possible, and how to sneak into the Taimiao will need the help of the prince at that time! Guo Jia said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangming said: "This matter is handed over to this king, Mr. Guo can rest assured." ”

Guo Jia nodded, and then said unintentionally: "Lord Wang, since we have cooperated, why do you want to send someone to follow us?" That's a bit of a no-brainer. Don't worry, as long as Prince Zhao is killed, I will immediately present the antidote to the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill with both hands. ”

"Tracking?" Zhao Kuangming's face sank, then he shook his head and said, "You left my palace yesterday and noticed that someone was following you?" ”

Guo Jia pretended to be surprised and asked, "Didn't it be arranged by Lord Rui?" Lord Wang, if you are like this, then it is not interesting. ”

Zhao Kuangming immediately emphasized: "This king can swear to the heavens, and he will definitely not send someone to follow the two, because I know that with the wisdom of Mr., this kind of little trick of tracking you can't hide it from you at all." ”

"Really?" Guo Jia was still a little suspicious on his face.

Zhao Kuangming emphasized again: "This king can even swear to the sky!" ”

Guo Jia believed Zhao Kuangming at this time, and then frowned and said: "In this way, the prince's mansion is not safe!" It seems that there is a hidden spy, so Guo will not be able to come to your mansion next time to visit, in case the people behind the scenes find out and discover our scheme, it will be troublesome. You tell me? ”

"It must have been the prince who planted eyeliner in my house! It is difficult to prevent thieves day and night, and this is not true at all. Mr. Guo thought carefully, we really can't be in the palace next time we meet. Zhao Kuangming agreed.

Guo Jia continued to step by step and asked: "The prince has a private property, and it is better for no one to know about the relatively hidden places, even the people around His Highness know little. If my identity is found out, then the prince's efforts will be in vain. ”

These words reminded Zhao Kuangming, and he smiled: "There is!" I have a manor in Qingfengfang, called Tingyuzhai, which I just bought and very few people know. Next time you meet your husband, you might as well go there! ”

"Good!" Guo Jia smiled and nodded, this was the purpose of his coming to Zhao Kuangming.

Now that the goal was achieved, Guo Jia got up to say goodbye and left the palace with Yang Youji.

Chuan Jianguo's side has begun to contact Prince Zhao, and he also expressed his intention to take refuge, and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites took the initiative to approach, and Prince Zhao Haizhi was naturally happy.

However, Zhao Haizhi was also very cautious, he was willing to accept Chuan Jianguo with open arms, but he did not put down the knife in his hand. Therefore, Sichuan Jianguo could only wander around the periphery of Zhao Haizhi's forces, and he could not get in touch with the core news at all.

At this time, it had been ten days since Xiao Rui came to Emperor Zhao.

Through the contact between the spear falcon and the Gongye chief, he learned that Chang Shenghou's army had taken Xizang County, and immediately entered Lingshan County, the speed was a little slower, but Chang Shenghou's pursuit was stability, and this occupation was a permanent occupation, and it was to expand the territory to become the territory of Great Xia, so it was also a big project to appease the people in the occupied area.

Compared with the stable victory of the Xia soldiers and horses, the Qin army and the Zhao army in the west have already killed the red eye. By now, the Qin army had invested 700,000 troops, and the Qi army was 800,000, and they were facing off in Changping County, Zhao State.

You must know that once Changping County is lost, there is only one Dongfu County left to the east and it will be directly killed in the land of Gyeonggi, so the Zhao army must stop the Qin State in Changping County at any cost, otherwise the Zhao State will really be on the verge of life and death.

At this time, Zhao was in the palace.

The elderly Emperor Zhao had just finished getting angry, and standing below were the governors of the three provinces, Zhongshu Ling Lei Jia, his subordinates Zhongyang Gongyun and Shangshu Ling He Quhuan.

The territory of Zhao was lost one after another, and it felt very uncomfortable to be caught between Xia and Qin. Even so, the elderly Zhao Huang never thought it was his fault!

"Three Aiqing, is there still a way for Zhao Guo to save himself now?" Zhao Huang asked.

These three extremely human ministers all said that they were loyal to the king, and they also wanted to save the dying Zhao State, but they couldn't do it, they had to have a way.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Emperor Zhao asked, "What does the envoy sent to Qi State say?" ”

Lei Jia said: "Your Majesty, now that the Xia State has beaten Jinzhou of the Qi State, and is attacking the north, the Qi State is losing and retreating, and I am afraid that we will not be able to support us or even attack the Xia State." ”

Emperor Zhao said angrily: "Didn't you cooperate with Yuan Guo? Didn't you plan it well? How did it become like this! ”

Lei Jia sighed: "Although the Yuan army is allowed to borrow the road, the Qi army and the Yuan army cannot cooperate effectively, the situation is chaotic, and the Yuan army is rebellious and fights its own, which also leads to the collapse of the front." In addition, the prince of Xia State entered the territory of Qi State before, and if he entered a no-man's land, it led to the loss of the heart of the Qi army and the people, and the combat effectiveness deteriorated. Now the situation is even worse, the Yuan army seems to have plans to withdraw, and the Qi Emperor is also worried that the Yuan army will fight back and fight back, so the alliance between the Qi army and the Yuan army has become a null and void. ”

Emperor Zhao sighed, he couldn't count on Qi State, so who else could he count on? You can only count on your own generals.

"Yesterday, the Ministry of Rites proposed that I should go to the Taimiao Temple to worship the ancestors of the Great Zhao and ask for the blessing of the ancestors of the Great Zhao to tide over this difficulty. After thinking about it, I think it is feasible, but you have also seen my body, all I want the prince to take me to worship the ancestors and hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, what do the three Aiqing think? Emperor Zhao asked.

Shang Shu Ling He Quhuan said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it is feasible, and sacrificing to the sky can improve the morale of the soldiers and ease the emotions of the people." Your Majesty is in poor health, just let the prince do it for you! ”

Lei Jia and Yang Gongyun also nodded.

Emperor Zhao said: "Since this is the case, then order Taichang Temple to discuss with the Ministry of Rites, select an auspicious day, and pass on the will to the prince!" ”

"Yes!" The three of them answered.

……

Soon, Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites selected a few days, and six days later were suitable for worshipping ancestors and worshipping the heavens, and then the two yamen were busy preparing everything.

Since the time of ancestor worship has been determined, Xiao Rui and the others can carry out the next plan, so Xiao Rui immediately notified Li Yuanfang to go to see Azhu, Azhu disguised herself as a maid to stay in the Zhenguo Mansion, she immediately increased the dose of poison, and the old woman fell into a coma and had no worries about her life.

The old woman suddenly fell into a coma, which immediately alarmed the whole house, and at the same time, the news was also spread to the East Palace.

Compared with Xiao Rui's East Palace and Da Zhao's East Palace, there are many greetings, the scale here is huge, and it is a unique area on the east side of the palace, with many palaces.

Zhao Haizhi has been made the crown prince for more than ten years, and he has also lived in this East Palace for more than ten years. When he first lived here, he was excited and excited, but as time went by, he has always been the prince, and he has always been the prince, walking on thin ice, not only to be careful of the guns and arrows of other princes, but also to be careful of his father's suspicions.

Until now, he felt that this East Palace was lonely, cold and lifeless, and at the same time he understood a truth better.

No matter how good the East Palace is, it is also attached, only by living in the center of the palace and sitting on the high dragon chair is the master here!

Now, when Zhao Guo is in the midst of life and death, his father is still living in his own ignorance, he really can't bear to watch Zhao Guo die, and he is even more unwilling to die before he becomes the prince.

During these days, His Majesty has become more and more fond of his own brother Zhao Kuangming, and he has become more and more cold to himself, even his mother, the Queen Mother, seems to be biased towards Zhao Kuangming.

Zhao Haizhi understood that his strength made His Majesty more and more suspicious, and his idea of abolishing the crown prince was getting stronger and stronger, maybe it was just a matter of thought.

What his father needs is not a talented and virtuous prince, but an obedient prince.

"It's imminent..."

Zhao Haizhi muttered to himself, he saw the situation thoroughly, but he was still not sure that he would succeed in usurping the throne, in other words, he did not have the courage to take this step.

At this time, the crown princess Nie Qian came over.

This princess has a dignified appearance, married Zhao Haizhi at the age of sixteen, and now it has been sixteen years, although she is thirty-two years old, she is maintained like a girl.

"Your Highness, no matter what decision you make, the concubine will support you." Nie Qian saw Zhao Haizhi's hesitation and gave him intimate encouragement.

Zhao Haizhi took Nie Qian's hand, knowing that he was not fighting alone.

At this moment, the internal official hurriedly came, and Nie Qian was anxious when she heard that her grandmother was unconscious.

Her parents died early, and only her grandmother was left in her immediate family, and she was taken care of by her grandmother since she was a child, and her feelings were very deep.

Zhao Haizhi didn't think much about it, and immediately sent the forbidden army to escort Nie Qian out of the palace.
