Chapter 524: Hou's Vicious Strategy (Second Update)
When he heard Qin Wangzhu's order, Lü Buwei himself was a little confused.
After Qin Wangzhu succeeded to the throne, Zhao Zichu, who was originally the grandson, naturally went further and became the crown prince of Qin.
Under such circumstances, Lü Buwei, who was Zhao Zichu's most important confidant, naturally went further than before, and moved from the original core edge to the center of the core leadership of the Qin State.
But even so, Lü Buwei didn't expect that this task of persuading the Chu State would actually fall on his head.
Isn't it all who advocates and who is responsible? Cai Ze should be allowed to go!
And if this thing is not done well, wouldn't it be necessary to carry the black pot for nothing?
So Lu Buwei subconsciously wanted to excuse himself and said: "The king, the minister's ability is meager, I am afraid that he will be entrusted by the king, and I ask the king to choose another talent." ”
Qin Wangzhu was not happy when he heard Lu Buwei's words, and immediately frowned: "What, isn't Neishi unwilling to share the worries of the widow?" ”
This sentence is a bit heavy.
Courtiers are for kings, and you say that you are a courtier who is unwilling to share the king's worries, what use do you want?
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Buwei not to hear the subtext in this, so he panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "The king misunderstood, the minister is just ......"
"No more." Qin Wangzhu waved his hand and interrupted Lu Buwei's words very impatiently: "The decision has been made, and you will be responsible for this envoy to the Chu State, let's set off tomorrow!" ”
……
When Lü Buwei walked out of the palace of King Qin, he was still a little depressed.
was supposed to be a spy for Zhao Guo, why did this spy be in front of him, but he still had to be responsible for this kind of thing that was completely unfavorable to Zhao Guo?
If King Zhao knew, would he suspect that I had secretly taken refuge in the Qin State?
However, Lu Buwei is also a smart person, although he was a little depressed at the beginning, he adjusted his mentality very quickly.
After adjusting his mentality, Lu Buwei suddenly felt ...... This trip to the State of Chu does not seem to be a trouble for me, but a good opportunity!
First of all, as long as this matter is done, then Qin Wangzhu's trust in Lü Buwei will definitely increase, and Lü Buwei will have the qualifications to participate more deeply in the inner circle of Qin in the future, so as to obtain more information.
Secondly, once Lü Buwei was involved, then there would be no secret for Lü Buwei about the terms of cooperation between Qin and Chu. As long as Lu Buwei revealed this information to Handan, it would be a great achievement for Zhao Guo.
If you look at it this way, this is a great opportunity to fall from the sky.
Lu Buwei slapped his thigh: "Why was I so confused just now?" ”
said so, but the rich smile on Lu Buwei's face couldn't hide it.
On the other side, Qin Wangzhu was not idle after retiring from the dynasty, but immediately summoned "Hou".
"See the King." Hou, who looked like a dying old eunuch, saluted Qin Wangzhu respectfully, as if he had done to Qin Wangji.
Qin Wangzhu stared at the old eunuch in front of him with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The widow asks you, in that Chu country, there is a great Qin Yinjian existence?" ”
Hou nodded and replied, "Back to the king, that's exactly the case." That person was the disciple of Yin Chun Shenjun Huang Xie of the Chu State Order, and he was extremely favored by Huang Xie. ”
Qin Wangzhu narrowed his eyes, and only said after a while: "Since this is the case, then the widow has a task to arrange with this Li Yuan, so you quickly send someone to inform him." ”
"Whoa." After a while, he asked, "I don't know what task the king is going to arrange?" ”
Qin Wangzhu said: "The widow will soon send Lü Buwei as an envoy to secretly envoy Chen Cheng, I hope that you can let this Li Yuan as an intermediary to help Lü Buwei succeed in the mission, so that Qin and Chu can form an alliance to jointly deal with Zhao!" ”
After thinking about it, he said with an embarrassed face: "The king doesn't know, now that Huang Xie's phase is not very stable, even if he tries to persuade through Huang Xie, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult." And this reason is not reliable enough after all, if the news leaks, it will be harmful, please think twice. ”
"What?" Qin Wangzhu was a little annoyed when he heard this.
You must know that Qin Wangzhu is also an ambitious monarch, and the most important thing he hopes to do since he ascended the throne is to restore the glory of the Qin state.
As a result, he now directly poured cold water on Qin Wangzhu's hope, how could Qin Wangzhu endure it?
Qin Wangzhu was furious and immediately slapped the table and shouted: "The widow doesn't care what means you use, in short, you must promote this matter for the widow, understand?" ”
Qin Wangzhu was really anxious.
Hou was silent for a moment, and then replied: "If the king insists on facilitating this, then the minister also has a plan, but this plan is too vicious, and the king's permission is needed. ”
"Poisonous?" Qin Wangzhu sneered, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "Come on, come on, the widow wants to hear what kind of evil plan you have!" ”
Hou owes a debt to his already somewhat rickety body, and slowly speaks: "Back to the king, the minister thinks that he should ...... for this."
……
After a moment, Qin Wangzhu's face was filled with a look of shock.
Although he was already mentally prepared, when this matter came out of Hou's mouth, Qin Wangzhu was still shocked.
After a full moment, the shocked look on Qin Wangzhu's face slowly subsided, and he hissed, "Do you know the fate of this plan?" ”
"Of course you know." Hou said unhurriedly: "If this plan is revealed, then the cause will definitely die." ”
Qin Wangzhu slammed on the table in front of him and shouted, "That's not what the widow said!" The widow means that if this plan is revealed, then the two countries of Qin and Chu will immediately become mortal enemies in the future, and there will be no possibility of reconciliation for at least a hundred years! ”
Hou thought for a while and said, "The king is serious. In the opinion of the ministers, even if the matter is revealed, then at most twenty years, there will be another possibility of reconciliation between Qin and Chu. ”
Qin Wangzhu waved his hand in disbelief and said, "Enough is enough, don't talk this nonsense with the widow!" ”
Qin Wangzhu's heart is also very clear, twenty years? In the current international situation, not to mention that Qin and Chu have been enemies of each other for twenty years, that is, ten years, the offensive from Zhao State is enough for Qin State to drink a pot.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
After another moment, Qin Wangzhu asked, "Is there no other plan?" ”
He replied: "Please forgive the ministers for being dull, and the only thing the ministers can think of is this." ”
Qin Wangzhu stared at Hou in front of him viciously, and suddenly had an urge in his heart to throw this old guy to feed the dogs.
If such a vicious strategy is really exposed in the future, it will not only have a great impact on the relationship between Qin and Chu, but also a great blow to Qin Wangzhu's own reputation.
At least in the eyes of others, a "despicable, shameless, and all-powerful" hat Qin Wangzhu will definitely not be able to run.
Do you really want to do this?
Qin Wangzhu pondered for a long time and did not make up his mind.
Hou had been standing there quietly with his head bowed, and a few traces of disappointment quietly flashed in his old eyes.
This king, after all, is not as decisive and resolute as the previous king.
I don't know how long it took, seeing that the sky outside the main hall had gradually become dark, Qin Wangzhu finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Alright, alright, let's do as you do! You have to remember it to the widow, if this plan fails, then the widow will punish your whole clan! ”
