Fortunately, in supporting the Hezong Alliance, Zhao Hou Zhao Yu's attitude is consistent and firm, so there will be this Huanshui Conference of the Hezong Alliance, however, will the old nobles of Zhao State be so desperate?

Su Qin thought of this, and even he shook his head, thinking that the answer was no. It is undoubtedly very naïve to think of the old nobles of Zhao State as so kind. How can they be willing if they don't die and struggle desperately?

The more Su Qin thought about it, the more he realized that there might be an ulterior deal between the Linhu tribe and the old nobles of the Zhao State. Otherwise, these two Linhu people would not have spoken so wildly, and they would not be able to live forever. It must be known that the confidence of their speech is due to the fact that there are people in Zhao who support them.

The so-called bell must be tied to the bell person, who is the relative of Zhao Hou who colluded with the Lin Hu people? It seems that this answer can only be found from Zhao Hou's body. Su Qin decided to go to Zhao Hou Zhao Yu again early the next morning to learn more about the situation from him.

The matter was urgent, Su Qin barely closed his eyes that night, and early the next morning, he hurried to Handan Palace to see Zhao Hou Zhao Yu. At this time, it was not yet the time of the early dynasty, and when Zhao Hou heard the news that Su Qin asked to see him early in the morning, he thought that something big had happened, and hurriedly put on his clothes and came out to meet him.

Su Qin entered Zhao Hou's dormitory, gave a simple salute, and then told Zhao Hou about his encounter with Lin Hu people in the peach garden.

When Zhao Hou heard this, his brows immediately frowned, and he couldn't understand what the Lin Hu people were colluding with the powerful people of Zhao State, and he couldn't guess what they wanted.

Su Qin then asked: "At this Huanshui Conference, I don't know who your lord met to raise objections, and who has the strongest objections?" ”

Zhao Hou thought for a moment and said: "It is said that the one with the greatest opposition is the doctor Zhao Xi, and of course there are Zongzheng Zhao Rong and others who put forward the advice with him. ”

After listening to this, Su Qin also felt a little uncertain, he knew something about Zhao Xi, this person had dealt with him a lot, from the time he was named the prime minister of Zhao State, Zhao Xi clearly objected, and let Zhao Hou not come to the stage on the spot.

Later, he cleverly forced Meng Di and Meng Ting sisters to invite Zhao Xi to the peach garden to make friends, and reached an understanding with each other. In the subsequent Battle of Anyi, thanks to the timely arrival of Zhao Xi's reinforcements from Zhao State, it helped Su Qin stabilize the battle situation. However, Meng Ting's sister Meng Di also paid the price for this and promised Zhao Xi with her body.

Su Qin thought that he had a preliminary understanding of Zhao Xi's personality, this person was a somewhat impulsive and straightforward person, he disagreed with his own political views, and believed that Zhao should first reform internal affairs, rather than be better with the princes externally. Therefore, he put forward his opinion against the Huanshui Conference, and Su Qin would not be surprised.

Su Qin thought about it and felt that Zhao Xi was not the kind of person who had a dark heart and made small moves behind his back. "If Zhao Xi is excluded, then is it possible that Zongzheng Zhao Rong and others, who are not very prominent, are suspicious people?"

After all, Su Qin was not sure of his inference. He asked Zhao Hou tentatively: "In the king's opinion, among the ministers of Zhao State, who are the most likely to collude with the Lin Hu people?" ”

Zhao Hou was already confused, he thought about the traitor out of trust in Su Qin, but if he was asked to deduce who the traitor was, he would not be happy at all. Therefore, Zhao Hou said vaguely: "The widow, the widow really doesn't know." ”

Zhao Hou pondered for a moment and said: "Doctor Zhao Xi has now gone to Huo Taishan with the prince to worship his ancestors, he is not in Handan City, so it is unlikely that the Linhu people will come to him to bribe, right?" ”

Su Qin nodded, he didn't get any particularly useful clues from Zhao Hou, and thought, "I'd better figure it out myself." ”

Su Qin then resigned to Zhao Hou and left Handan Palace. At this time, he remembered Meng Di, who had a relationship with him in the past, and he decided to go to Meng Di to ask about the situation and find out the details of Zhao Xi.

Su Qin and Meng Di are inextricably linked, and before he went to find Meng Di, he had a difficulty in his heart and didn't know what to do. Therefore, the prime minister's carriage that Su Qin was riding in arrived at the gate of Zhao Xi's mansion, and he instructed the coachman to drive the carriage back to the peach garden.

Su Qin's difficulty was that he was worried that he would suddenly visit Meng Di, and Zhao Xi was not in the house at this time, "Will it cause unnecessary trouble to Meng Di, after all, he is a sensitive person in Zhao Xi's eyes." Before, Zhao Xi knew about Su Qin's relationship with Meng Di. ”

At this time, although Zhao Xi is not in the house, there are still miscellaneous servants and maids and other people in the house, and these people will reveal to Zhao Xi: He once came to the house to visit Zhao Xi's wife Meng Di when he was out.

It must be known that Su Qin is already the prime minister of Zhao State under one person and above ten thousand people at this time, if he wants to be inconspicuous, it is not so easy. The dignified Prime Minister Zhao Guo came to visit, where would it be calm.

Su Qin sighed, and then thought of his wife Meng Ting who was far away in Luoyang, and thought: "It would be nice if Meng Ting was by her side, not only to be able to talk to herself and relieve boredom, but also to visit her sister Meng Di in her name, wouldn't it be logical?" ”

However, Su Qin also thought of the troubles Meng Ting faced after returning to Handan. Not only is the current domestic undercurrent turbulent due to the Huanshui Conference, but also within the political arena of Zhao State, there are also various dangers lurking. Meng Ting is also a person in labor, and if she is involved, she will definitely not have a good life.

Su Qin didn't want to take his relatives with him and enjoy the joy of family reunion, but he couldn't help himself, and the career he was engaged in was by no means an easy road, and he had been assassinated and assassinated more than once, which was extremely dangerous. On the contrary, when the family is not around, I am less distracted.

Su Qin felt: "If you want to live a peaceful and peaceful life, you must give up what you do, however, the business of cooperation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and once you retreat, the consequences will be unimaginable." I can only take one step and look at one step, hoping to realize my good wish to retire. ”

Sitting in the carriage back to the peach garden, he not only thought of the final retreat in the future, but it would also be an unpeaceful road, and he would have to have wonderful arrangements and superb wisdom to retreat.

At this point, Master Guigu's choice is the smartest, he can always affect the situation through his own layout without showing up, which is the highest realm. Thinking of this, Su Qin couldn't help but miss Master Guigu from the bottom of his heart, and called out in his heart: "Master, where are you?" The disciples really want to see you again, to be taught by you even if it is just a few words. ”

After Su Qin returned to the peach garden, he entrusted Chen Dan to go to Zhao Xi's mansion and ask to see Zhao Xi's wife Meng Di, Chen Dan asked, "How can I enter Dr. Zhao Xi's mansion?" ”

Su Qin thought hard for a long time, and he came up with a good idea, he arranged for Chen Dan: "You brought a few Kabuki from the peach garden, pretending to be from Meng Di's mother's family, to send Chongyang's festival food to Meng Di. ”

Su Qin then took out a hosta from his arms, which was engraved with a phoenix with wings ready to fly, he handed the hosta to Chen Dan, and said: "When you go to Zhao Xi's mansion, ask the porter to hand over this hairpin to Meng Di, and Meng Di will naturally come out to see you." ”

Chen Dan took the hosta, looked at it for a while, and felt that there was nothing particularly strange about this hairpin, even the phoenix engraved on it was also carved on the hairpin of ordinary people's daughters, but the phoenix on this hairpin was more fine.

Su Qin saw that Chen Dan couldn't believe that it was feasible, so he told again: "When you go to find Meng Di, remember to show this hairpin first, and don't rush into it recklessly." ”

The hairpin that Su Qin handed to Chen Dan was Meng Ting's favorite belonging, in order to show the affection of the two, Su Qin asked for it from Meng Ting and kept it in his arms. However, it is inconvenient for him to tell Chen Danming the origin of this hairpin, if it is not a last resort, he is unwilling to take out the hosta that he cherishes very much to others.

Su Qin asked Chen Dan to bring some precious food from the peach garden, pretending to be more like his mother's family to give Chongyang gifts. Su Qin told Chen Dan: "After you met Meng Di, tell him directly, I was waiting to see her in the peach garden, and I had a particularly important state affair to discuss with her." ”

He deliberately instructed Chen Dan again: "Remember, it's a state affair, not just a private chat." The reason why this is the case is that Su Qin is also worried that Meng Di is married to a wife, and she is ashamed to go behind her husband's back and meet with a man she knew before.

Under Su Qin's arrangement, Chen Dan took Miss Yue'er and four other Kabuki in the peach garden to Zhao Xi's Mansion that morning. In order to conceal their true identities, the five kabuki also specially changed into the costumes of the maids of large families before setting off from the peach garden.

Chen Dan completely followed Su Qin's instructions, and when he arrived at Zhao Xi's mansion, he first showed that he was the maid of Mrs. Meng Di's mother's family, and specially came to deliver the Chongyang food box, and then she asked the porter to hand over the hosta to Meng Di, and said: "As soon as Madam sees this token, she understands everything. ”

The gatekeeper on Zhao Xi's mansion was more strict because the master followed the prince to Huo Taishan, which was nearly a thousand miles away, to worship the ancestors of Zhao State, so the door was stricter and the people who came and went were more tightly checked. When they saw the hosta, they suspiciously asked Chen Dan and others to wait outside the door and went to inform their wife Meng Di.

Sure enough, when Meng Di saw this hosta, she was immediately as anxious as if her clothes were on fire, and she asked the porter several times: "Where is the person?" Where are the people coming? ”

The porter replied that they were waiting outside the gate, and Meng Di hurriedly ordered, "Then go and invite them in." The porter turned around to leave, but Meng Di followed her personally, and the porter looked back and thought, "Madame, is this evil today?" How did you get so flustered. ”
