Chapter 268: The Thief of the State

Zhao Yan's arm slowly fell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He was once born with the light of a tyrant, but he did not become a generation of overlords after all.

It's just, as Zhao Yan himself said. Now, the state of Zhao is in an eventful period, and at some point, it will be defeated by the state of Qin, and the destruction of the country will follow one after another.

Zhao Yan was lucky, he was born as a bully, and almost unhindered all the way to the throne with the support of the former King Zhao.

However, he is also sad. The Zhao State through his hands, after the Battle of Changping, has long ceased to be prosperous enough to fight with the Qin State. Even if he is also as smart as others, he can't escape the reputation of the lord of ruined karma.

The life of a downfall is not so much to die of illness as to die under the deterrence of the Qin State, how tragic!

"Woo woo woo ......"

With Zhao Yan's death, a whimper suddenly sounded in the entire hall.

However, at this moment, Guo Kai, who was originally kneeling in front of the bed and crying, stood up suddenly, wiped away his tears, and bowed to the prince Zhao Qian on the side.

"Minister, Guo Kai, meet the king!"

Guo Kai's solemn and solemn appearance startled the young Zhao Qian.

However, seeing the powerful Xiangguo in front of him fall in front of him, the little Zhao Qian suddenly felt a sense of arrogance.

This sense of arrogance even abruptly dispelled his sorrow for the death of his father Zhao Yan.

"Lord Xiangguo, please get up quickly."

Zhao Qian pretended to be flustered, took small steps, walked in front of Guo Kai, and helped Guo Kai up.

"Xiangguo, my father used to talk about the good name of Xiangguo before his death. When he was dying, he handed over all the state affairs to Xiangguo, how dare he hold it up in front of Xiangguo! ”

However, Guo Kai flicked his sleeves slightly, avoided Zhao Qian's little hand, and still knelt and said: "Now that the first king has died, you are the king, and all state affairs are in the hands of the king, Guo Kai does not dare to exceed the rules!" ”

Guo Kai's words made Zhao Qian slightly stunned, and then he was even more excited.

"The widow will definitely live up to the love of the country!" Zhao Qian, who was happy in his heart, couldn't help but clear his throat and said like Zhao Yan before his death.

However, after saying this, Zhao Qian, who was still young, suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Now, the first king has died, and as soon as the funeral happens, Gu will hand it over to Xiangguo." After thinking for a long time, Zhao Qian saw Zhao Yan on the bed and said with some sadness.

"Your Majesty! Never! ”

However, at this time, Guo Kai exclaimed in surprise and jumped Zhao Qian.

"Why?" Zhao Qian asked with a puzzled expression.

"At this moment, the army of the Northland is at war, and it is even more at a disadvantage. If the news of the death of the first king spreads, it will definitely affect morale! ”

Guo Kai lowered his head, looking bitter.

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! The widow forgot! After Zhao Qian realized it, he hurriedly exclaimed.

"However, the king, the commander of the three armies, Wu Anjun Li Mu, after all, is my general Zhao. I'm afraid I still need to inform his ...... about this matter"

"Li Mu?"

Zhao Qian, who heard Li Mu's name, frowned slightly, and on his small face, he suddenly showed a look of displeasure and disgust.

Zhao Qian, who grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, has long been disgusted with this so-called general who guards one side and Zhao Guozhushi under the influence of Zhao Yan's ears and eyes.

At this time, hearing Guo Kai mention Li Mu, Zhao Qian's heart couldn't help but have a sense of crisis and unease.

"No!"

Zhao Qian shook his little head, revealing a calm appearance.

"Your Majesty?" Guo Kai looked at Zhao Qian with a puzzled expression and asked puzzled.

"When the first king was there, the widow heard that the king of Qin was the younger brother of Pastor Li. If the news of the death of the first king is revealed to Li Mu, the widow is worried that Li Mu will surrender to Qin! ”

After Zhao Qian finished speaking, he nodded slightly, feeling more and more that what he said was reasonable.

The corners of Guo Kai's mouth lowered slightly, revealing a slight smile.

Li Mu descended to Qin? I'm afraid that only this child in front of me will think so.

With the position of the commander of Li Musan's army, he enjoys incomparable prestige in the army, if he wants to surrender to Qin, I am afraid, there is no need to hide the soldiers below. Why wait until the death of the first king?

And this is also the reason why Guo Kai has been constantly reviewing government affairs for Zhao Yan in the past few days, aggravating his condition. Otherwise, if Zhao Yan was alive, even if he hated Li Mu again, he would never replace Li Mu at this time of crisis.

Only by exhausting Zhao Yan to death, waiting for Zhao Qian to take the throne, in the name of taking care of his life, and taking the opportunity of blocking the news of his death, can he monopolize the government and government, so that he can achieve his goal.

"If the king is worried, the minister has a plan, which can determine whether Li Mu is loyal or not." Guo Kai "hesitated" for a long time before he said.

"How?"

Zhao Qian's eyes lit up, and he didn't doubt Guo Kai's words.

"Now, Li Mu controls almost all the military power of Zhao State, if he really surrenders to Qin, the consequences will be really as the king said, unimaginable. If the king ordered at this moment to deprive Li Mu of his military power, if Li Mu handed over his military power, it would be enough to show his loyalty. If they don't, then ......"

Guo Kai lowered his head again, revealing a respectful demeanor as he spoke.

After listening to Guo Kai's idea, Zhao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good! Great goodness! ”

Zhao Qian slapped his thigh, frustrated his little hand, and was extremely excited.

"But ......"

Immediately, Zhao Qian's expression darkened, and he said with some distress: "What if Li Mu is unwilling to hand over his military power, or directly rebels against Zhao because of this?" ”

Guo Kai smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "The king can rest assured, if Li Mu is unwilling to hand over the military power, we can use the shadows that have been buried around Li Mu for a long time." ”

"Oh? Shadows? Who is it? The look of distress on Zhao Qian's face was swept away again. His eyes widened, and he looked at Guo Kai and asked excitedly.

"Le Ren!"

Guo Kai did not hesitate at all, and directly said his name.

"Leren?"

Zhao Qian frowned, closed his eyes, and kept thinking in his mind.

And Guo Kai was not in a hurry, but looked at Zhao Qian silently.

"The Widow Doesn't Know ......"

In the end, Zhao Qian still sighed and shook his head with some annoyance. In his impression, in order to make him wary of Li Mu, Zhao Yan almost told all the capable generals under Li Mu, but he was the only one who did not have this Leren.

"It is understandable that the king does not know this person. Because, those who know this are only the ministers and the first king's ears. ”

"Oh? Does this person have the ability to kill Li Mu? Sangkook, hurry up! When Zhao Qian heard that this was top secret, he suddenly felt a sense of pride again, and urged again and again.

"This man is a man of strange clothes. And now he is the captain of Li Mu's own army, Wang, what do you think? Guo Kai showed a slight smile and said.
