Chapter 15: Handkerchiefs.
Tong Zhu's heart was suddenly puzzled, and even the speed of pouring tea was much slower than usual.
"Do you think that this small plan can easily make Wei Chu willingly send 100,000 stones of grain and grass to my Great Qin?" The man in the robe said lightly.
"Isn't it?" Tong Zhu asked subconsciously.
The man in the robe smiled lightly, "It's not that the monarch of Wei Chu doesn't want to withdraw his troops, but the premise of withdrawing his troops is to feed the gluttony that can never be filled in his own country, although I asked for 100,000 stone grain and grass, do you think those so-called nobles will ask for less than me?" No, they want far more than I do. If I ask for 100,000 stones, they dare to ask for 500,000 stones. ”
"It turns out that Your Majesty has long known Wei Chu well, and the old slave is impressed." Tong Zhu immediately knelt down and bowed.
The man in the robe smiled, "Get up, you are wrong about this, the nobles of Wei and Chu don't know what they want, but they have a lot of lessons from the past, such as the Battle of Changyang fifteen years ago, if it weren't for these nobles greedy for immediate interests, I am afraid that Great Qin would no longer exist now." ”
"Fifteen years ago, His Majesty had just ascended the throne and had to face the joint attack of the three kingdoms of Wei Chuyan, His Majesty gave the upper nobles of Wei Chu as a gift to make the army unwilling to fight, and finally took advantage of the shortcomings of the Yan general Tan Sting's greed and recklessness to defeat the Yan army in Yi County, and finally broke the Three Kingdoms one by one.
Regarding the old eunuch's tirade, the man in the robe just smiled slightly, and the look between his eyebrows and eyes was still the same.
"That's the end of the sycophant, there are a few things you need to do." The man in the robe tapped tapped lightly with his fingertips.
"Your Majesty, please command." Tong Zhu immediately bent down to salute.
"The first thing, you went to the pavilion where Yu Huang lived and asked one of the little guys to inadvertently reveal that Yu Huang was angry because of today's big hall, and smashed a lot of jade silks brought from the Wei State, claiming that he wanted to let Shi Heng, the old puppet, die, remember that you must let that little guy say it inadvertently, remember?"
"The old slave wrote it down." Tong Zhu said respectfully.
The robed man nodded and continued, "The second thing is to find a well-known assassin from the Qin State in the Seven Star Pavilion to kill Shi Heng, remember, the assassin must be from the Qin State. ”
"What about the Assassin?" Tong Zhu asked.
The man in the robe said lightly, "Ask him if he is willing to leave the Seven Star Pavilion and join the Great Qin Secret Guard, if not, kill him." ”
"Yes."
"The third thing, after the fact, you personally go to Wei to kill Yu Huang, and pretend that Yu Huang committed suicide, but you have to leave clues to prove that he did not commit suicide."
"It turns out that this is Your Majesty's real divisive plan, but Yu Huang and Shi Heng are just ordinary strategists, Your Majesty has taken such pains to kill these two, I am afraid it will not have much effect, unless there is an unusual identity in these two people? Could it be that the old eunuch had in his mind a middle-aged scribe gushing above the main hall.
"Are you thinking about that brilliant Shi Heng right now?" The man in the robe smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty is like a god, and the old slave is guessing what the identity of this Shi Heng is." Tong Zhu hurriedly replied.
"Who said it must be Shi Heng?"
"Yu Huang? It's impossible, madmen have never been treated by others, how can Wei stand up for him? Tong Zhu trayed out the doubts in his heart.
I saw that the man in the robe continued to laugh and said, "Since you are not treated by others, how can you be sent to be an envoy of my Great Qin?" Although this person is young and frivolous, his wife is quite big, and she is Princess Qiuyang, the favorite daughter of the Empress Dowager of Wei. It is rumored that the two are extremely affectionate, if Yu Huang is killed by the Chu people, Qiuyang will definitely not be reconciled, even if the two countries of Wei and Chu have been reconciled for a hundred years, but presumably such a contradiction may not be resolved by a gentle 'generation repair'. ”
"Your Majesty, in this way, Wei Chu's hundred-year-old alliance will be broken." Tong Zhu sighed.
The man in the robe sniffed the fragrance of tea in the jade cup, and praised slightly, "This moonless tea in Ping'an County, Yan Country really lives up to its reputation, it would be a pity if such fragrant tea is in Yan Country." ”
"Your Majesty is planning to send troops?"
"Why not? These four countries have existed for hundreds of years, and it is almost time to move. The young man in a black robe with gilded trim stared at each other and said calmly, "Announcing the Holy Decree, please ask General Bai Qi to come here to speak." ”
It's just that what the young man didn't expect was that the old eunuch was in place, without any movement, looking at his appearance, his eyes wandered, and he seemed to have something to say and stopped.
The young man furrowed his straight sword eyebrows, "What's the matter?" A momentum of non-anger and self-authority immediately spread.
The old eunuch hurriedly bent over to salute, and said in fear, "Your Majesty, today is the 100th birthday banquet of General Bai Qi, and it is a little inappropriate for Your Majesty to invite him into the palace today." ”
The man in the robe raised his eyebrows, and said dissatisfiedly, "You didn't remind me of such a big event earlier!" ”
The old eunuch couldn't help but explain with a wry smile, "Your Majesty said that there has been a lot of accumulation in the past few days, and I don't want to be disturbed by other things. ”
The man in the robe laughed loudly, "You slave, you dare to arrange me, no matter what, sitting in this hall for a few days, I am also a little tired, it happens to coincide with the 100th birthday banquet of General Bai Qi, why don't you go and have a look." By the way, how long is it until the birthday party starts? ”
The old eunuch hurriedly responded, "There is still nearly an hour before the birthday banquet begins. ”
The man in the robe nodded, "It's almost enough, tell the inner chamberlain to take a set of ordinary people's clothes, and-" The robed man's gaze moved to the jade cup just now, "I look at the taste of this missing moon tea, so let the inner chamberlain take two catties as a gift." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
Yan Kingdom Palace.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong." A little eunuch ran into the council hall in a panic and knelt down.
Before the middle-aged man sitting on the main hall could speak, a courtier standing majestically on the side of the main hall said in disbelief, "Could it be that Yue Dan can't even defend Moqi Pass?" ”
The little eunuch was immediately stunned and watched the old courtier a series of angry scoldings, and finally waited for the courtier to finish scolding before whispering, "No, it's not General Yuedan, it has nothing to do with General Yuedan." ”
The courtier was speechless for a moment, and looked at the little eunuch with an angry face, "Why don't you make it clear!" ”
"Ahem," the middle-aged man in a yellow robe above the main hall finally couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly twice, looked at the little eunuch and asked, "What is the matter with such a panic?" ”
The little eunuch kowtowed again and again, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, Princess Yuluan is gone." ”
"What!" The middle-aged man got up suddenly, "When did you not see you?" ”
The little eunuch replied stubbornly, "Yesterday." ”
"Bastard!" The middle-aged man picked up a copper cup and smashed it heavily on the forehead of the little eunuch.
And the little eunuch endured the severe pain on his forehead, trembling, took out a handkerchief with dense red characters from his cuff, and whispered, "This is the letter left by Princess Yuluan." ”
An old eunuch randomly took a handkerchief from the little eunuch's hand and presented it to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man did not open the handkerchief after taking it and looked at it directly, but glanced at the little eunuch lightly and said mercilessly, "Take this dog slave down and kill it with a cane." ”
A fresh life disappeared immediately, and the hall became silent, especially the courtiers who had just scolded above the hall even more pale, and only then did he realize how terrifying the middle-aged man with a depressed face was after opening his fangs.
