Late at night, in the hall of King Zhao's Palace, the figures of four people were reflected on the wall under the dim candlelight. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.infobiquge.info on the Aishang Novel Network
"General Cheng, come on." Sitting a little tired on the leaning seat with a fur coat, Zhao Xiaocheng, who had finished his madness, regained some reason again.
"Yes"
Cheng Xu, the chief guard of the Praetorian Guard and the deputy city guard of Handan, saluted, and looked at the two people above with some awe, they were his masters, especially the woman, others thought that he was loyal to Zhao Xiaocheng, only he knew that what he was really loyal to was the woman standing behind King Zhao. Compared to King Zhao's mediocrity, that woman is a shrewd and powerful character, at this time, she did not hesitate to stand at the front desk and stood side by side with King Zhao.
"I asked the guests of the Guo family's banquet, and they saw that Zhao Mu and Long Yangjun had been talking for a long time, although I don't know what they talked about, but it should be related to my big Zhao. Not only that, but many people saw that Long Yangjun and Zhao Mu left the Guo Mansion first, and they should have gone to the Julu Hou Mansion. “
"According to the detailed report, the purpose of Long Yangjun's trip was to come to my Da Zhao to ask me Da Zhao about the arson of Da Liang and the theft of Lu Gong's secret, but I investigated the list of accompanying guards and found that there were more than a dozen of them, such as Liu Chao, Pu Bu and others, who turned out to be Mrs. Pingyuan's people, and later defected to Xinlingjun, and none of them attended the banquet in Guo's mansion."
Zhao Xiaocheng listened with red eyes, his chest rising and falling sharply, like a bellows pulling.
"Moreover, the subordinates found a few pedestrians near the Madame's Mansion, and according to what they said, the people who attacked the Madame's Mansion went to the west of the post house, and the messenger who lived there was Long Yangjun and his party."
"And what about the evidence? Did you find any direct evidence? ”
"Yes, my subordinates found a nimble thief and let him sneak into the inn, and inside, he found these things. 【】【】”
Cheng Xu said, untying a small bag behind him, which contained a night coat that had been burned by fire, as well as two letters.
In the letter, it was written that Zhao Mu intended to befriend Xinlingjun and promote the great cause of the unity of the three Jins, and Zhao Mu proposed that as long as Xinlingjun agreed to let him inherit the position of Zhao's territory, he was willing to serve Xinlingjun as the master and kill the king of Zhao, and boasted that with his ability, it would be as easy as finding Zhao Xiaocheng.
The other letter is Xin Lingjun's reply to his sincerity, which is full of praise and praise, and promises that as long as he completes great things, he will definitely be reused.
If it was in normal times, with Zhao Xiaocheng's favor to Zhao Mu, how could he doubt the authenticity of these two letters, and even make Zhao Mu defend himself. But at this time, his suspicion and suspicion of Zhao Mu had already occupied the absolute upper hand, especially the handwriting of Zhao Mu's handwriting, which made him recognize at a glance that it was from Zhao Mu's hand. Thinking of his usual intimacy with Zhao Mu, Zhao Xiaocheng couldn't help the fear in his heart.
As Zhao Mu said in his letter, with his favor for Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu wanted to kill him, like a bag! This sentence completely hit the dead end in Zhao Xiaocheng's heart, and also added the finishing touch to this conspiracy against Zhao Mu.
"The last general asks the king to give an order to capture and kill this fang." Li Mu, who was standing on the side, said angrily after reading the letter that had been circulated.
The relationship between Zhao's military and Zhao Mu has always been incompatible, especially the death of Mrs. Ni, which angered the military generals led by Zhao Hao.
When Li Mu returned to Handan this time, he originally had the intention of holding King Zhao accountable for this matter, but he didn't expect that such a big event would happen before he had time to launch it, so he immediately expressed his attitude.
Zhao Xiaocheng finally had some comfort, he was mean and unkind, and now he was facing pressure from both the Qin State and the Wei State, for the sake of the hearts of the military, no matter whether Zhao Mu was wronged or not, sacrificing him was the best choice at the moment, not to mention that he had already determined in his heart that Zhao Mu colluded with the Wei State and sought his life.
"Slow down, big king."
When Zhao Xiaocheng was about to order Li Mu to capture and kill Zhao Mu, Queen Jing suddenly stopped him.
"Queen, do you have anything else to say about Zhao Mu?" Zhao Xiaocheng, who was surprised in his heart, said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"Zhao Mu's crime, the crime is unforgivable, but now is not the time to kill him." Queen Jing explained: "The current Handan, the fish and dragons are mixed, Zhao Mu has been operating in Handan for many years, and his power is strong, if he suddenly starts at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhao Mu will not come to the fish and die in the net, not to mention anything else, if he kills Long Yangjun, or Zhu Ji, it will be tantamount to adding insult to the current Zhao State." ”
"What then?" Zhao Xiaocheng also felt that what Queen Jing said was reasonable, and asked.
"There will be a plan in the end." After Li Mu got Zhao Xiaocheng's consent, he said: "In my opinion, it is better to put Zhao Mu under house arrest first and restrict his contact with the outside world." Then the king used both grace and power, so that he couldn't figure out the king's attitude, and spent a few days cutting off Zhao Mu's wings. As soon as the time comes, just arrest him. ”
"General Li's plan is very good, as long as the king does not show his attitude, Zhao Mu and his party should not take risks, as long as Zhao Mu's forces are cut off, he will not be able to come up with any means. Not only that, Zhao Mu humiliated Ying Yiren in every way back then, if we handed him over to the Qin people and attributed the killing of the proton to him. It's also a small bargaining chip. Queen Jing pondered for a moment.
"Okay, that's it." Zhao Xiaocheng made up his mind and turned to Li Mudao: "For the safety of Handan, I will entrust the general, and Chengxu will fully cooperate with the general." ”
"Yes." Li Mu gave a military salute, took the order, and went down with Cheng Xu.
"Thanks to the presence of the queen today, otherwise this king would have been deceived by Zhao Mu, a treacherous person." Zhao Xiaocheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"King, there is one more matter, about the disposal of Longyang Jun of Wei State." Queen Jing reminded.
"Oh, if it weren't for the queen's reminder, the king would have almost forgotten." Zhao Xiaocheng patted his head a little groggy and said. Immediately, he began to worry, compared to Zhao Mu, this Longyang Jun is a real big problem, kill it, then completely offend King Wei, let it go, what is this called? How can Zhao Xiaocheng swallow this breath.
"Well, Long Yangjun can't be killed, I think, it's better for us to pretend that Long Yangjun doesn't know anything about this matter, and then put him back, between An Li and Xinlingjun, there should be cooperation in this matter, but it may not be the same heart." Queen Jing said.
She really didn't have any ideas to think about, the attitude of Wei State, and the attitude of Qin State, was not something she could control at all. Proton's death directly put Zhao Guo in an extremely delicate position. In the face of the anger of the Qin State and the conspiracy of the Wei State, who can she rely on, is it the person next to her?
This night's Handan is destined to be busy, sleepless, in the whole Handan, I don't know how many people are paying attention to this extraordinary night, bursts of horses' hooves sound from time to time, the tranquility of the night, tearing a thousand holes. And there are some people, even on this night, their fate has changed dramatically.
The phrase "people sit at home, disaster comes from the sky" to describe Zhao Mu at this time, which is very appropriate. After sending Long Yangjun away, he had not yet calmed down to think about the pros and cons of cooperating with Long Yangjun, and the news of the attack on the Proton Mansion and the Lady's Mansion reached him.
Surprised, dazed, and uneasy, after the initial confusion, he gradually began to notice that something was wrong.
"Ride!"
It was unusual that after he had been informed of what had happened, he had never heard from Lecheng again.
He hurriedly asked his subordinates to inquire about Lecheng's news, but learned that Lecheng had been summoned to the palace.
Something like this happened, as the city guard of Handan, Le Cheng was asked for questioning, which is not surprising, Zhao Mu comforted himself with a few words.
Of course, he will not be a spy of the Wei State, but a native of the Chu State, and he has a somewhat blood relationship with Huang Xie, the Chunshenjun of the Chu State.
When he was young, he came to the country of Zhao and became a pawn, waiting for an opportunity.
The opportunity soon came, because of the Battle of Changping, King Zhao completely collapsed, and as a courtier, he quickly gained the favor of King Zhao. But in private, he didn't take this mediocre and incompetent King Zhao in his eyes at all.
His purpose was simple, to help the state of Chu annex the state of Zhao and fight for a position high enough.
But today, he was a little moved.
"If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." He had always thought that compared to Huang Xie, he had already heard of the name of the sage of the Wei State. In his opinion, the demise of Zhao is a matter of time, so should he choose Wei or Chu as his retreat?
He didn't decide, but he didn't refuse either, which is why he would be entangled with Long Yangjun's guy who is neither male nor female for so long today, no matter how he chooses in the end, befriend Wei Guo, especially with the approval of that adult. In his opinion, it is the best way out for the future.
Zhao Mu, who was restless, did not go to a woman to vent his ** for the first time this day. Instead, he sat alone in the dark, thinking. What happened today was too terrifying, he didn't think about it, but he could feel the abnormality.
He suddenly stood up and grabbed the sword on the wall, as if the cold thing could give him a sense of security.
"No, something must be wrong." He put on a coat, pushed open the door, and looked out.
Pieces of torches reflected his pale face, and I don't know when, the Julu Marquis Mansion has been firmly surrounded by Zhao Bing.
