Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 309
When Tian Hao came out to train Mei Sanniang, Guo Kai was taken into the palace by King Zhao Yanzhao.

"You've done a great job this time, and you've lived up to everyone's expectations of you."

Zhao Wangyan, who was roasting chicken, smiled and cursed. He was very satisfied with Guo Kai's performance during this period. He finally suppressed the momentum of those veterans, allowing him to open up the situation in the court and truly take power.

The replacement of the throne is always the time when a country is at its weakest. The key point lies in the lack of tacit understanding or even recognition between the new king and the old ministers.

His father did a good job, but that was not him, Zhao Yan. He, Zhao Yan, had his own ideas, but unfortunately he was never recognized by the old ministers. Even being granted the title of queen was blocked one after another, which made him very angry.

"Thanks to Brother Haoran's guidance and Brother Li Si's assistance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find a breakthrough to open a way for the king."

Guo Kai chuckled, and stepped forward to take the grill from Zhao Wangyan and flip it over, just like he did in the Prince's Mansion.

And the king's words and smile today made him understand that he had done nothing wrong, and the king needed him like this.

"Is it possible that the two of them are getting together?"

Zhao Wangyan became more serious. He knew that Guo Kai's transformation during this period must have been guided by others, and the only people who could give guidance were Confucian Haoran and Li Si.

One is a master who can compete with the strong ones in the Heaven and Human Realm, and the other is a disciple of Master Xun, the head of the Little Sage Village. They are not easy people.

"Brother Haoran is unlikely. He doesn't seem to be interested in the affairs of the court and the country. He pays more attention to his own cultivation. If you want to win him over, you may have to use that treasure."

Guo Kaixian first talked about Brother Haoran. Apart from communicating with him in the first two days, he has been practicing in the mansion since then and has never come out. He is obviously a practicing madman who is obsessed with martial arts.

There are not many things that can interest such a person, and the only thing he can think of is the treasure of Zhao State.

"If I can really win over a heavenly being, I will not be stingy with a piece of treasure. Unfortunately, He's Bi was stolen a few years ago. At present, it is only confirmed that it was someone from within the royal family, but the specific identity has not been found out. .”

King Zhao regretted that he didn't value treasures like He's Bi very much. If he could use it to win over a strong man in the realm of heaven and man, he would make a profit.

It's a pity that the treasure was mysteriously lost a few years ago. It was only confirmed from the traces at the scene that it might have been done by someone within the royal family, and they continued to investigate, but without any results.

"lost?"

Guo Kai was shocked. He didn't know about this kind of thing. Who could actually take away that treasure?
"It's not lost. It's definitely still in the hands of the royal family. It's just that we can't find out who it is now."

Zhao Wangyan was very unhappy about this. Although he didn't care about He's Bi, it was his thing after all, and it would be his after he succeeded to the throne.

But someone took that treasure away, how could he not be angry?
"What about Li Si?"

Turning the topic to Li Si, Zhao Wangyan had seen that man's abilities in the past half month. Although he was still a young man, his talents surpassed most of the civil and military officials in the court.

He and Guo Kai were able to quickly open up the situation in the court, and Li Si had to take the lead. If he could stay in Zhao to assist him, many things would be done much more smoothly.

It's just that after all, he is a disciple of Master Xun, the head of Xiaoshengxian Village, and Master Xun is a veteran in the realm of heaven and human beings. It is even said that he has the tendency to become the third sage of Confucianism, so he needs to plan carefully.

While Guo Kai took the roasted chicken off the shelf and separated it one by one with a knife, he replied: "Brother Li Si is much more scheming. According to my observation, Li Si has a strong desire for power. Enjoy the time in the court.

As long as he tastes enough sweetness this time, he is very likely to come to our country of Zhao in the future when he trains from Xiaoshengxian Manor.

The small proposal is to provide Brother Li Si with the conditions to be our Prime Minister of Zhao State. He has enough potential and will definitely be qualified in the future.

Moreover, the Li Si brothers have a good relationship with the Haoran brothers. They love each other as brothers. After winning over Li Si, are we still afraid that Haoran will not join our Zhao Kingdom? "

"I thought you would have some ideas about the position of Prime Minister."

Zhao Wangyan smiled. He saw Li Si's talents. He already had such talents when he was just a boy. Once he reaches adulthood and graduates from Xiaoshengxian Village, he will definitely be qualified to be the prime minister of a country.

It's just that he was surprised that this kid Guo Kai actually proposed to make Li Si the prime minister. He thought that this kid would become the prime minister himself.

Guo Kai smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you have to destroy the little one. Don't you know how much the little one weighs? It's okay to be a treacherous and corrupt official, but to be the prime minister of a country is a way to die. Really?" If something big were to go wrong, the king wouldn't be able to protect the little one.

In this life, I just want to be a treacherous and corrupt official for the king, dedicated to sharing the king's worries and solving problems. "

Guo Kai expressed his true feelings about this and was also serious about it.

After those two days of talking with Brother Haoran, he suddenly became enlightened and had a clear positioning of himself.

With his own background and ability, he is not qualified to serve as an official in the court, and it all depends on the king's cultivation and respect.

He couldn't handle serious matters, but he could handle some crooked matters, and he could still solve the king's problems.

Zhao Wangyan was very touched after hearing this. He was indeed the companion who grew up with him. He was so considerate.

"It's very comforting that you think so much of me, so just be the sycophant and corrupt official you are. As long as you don't go beyond the limit, no one in the court can touch you while I am alone.

Come and eat! "

After saying that, he handed over a chicken leg, picked up a chicken leg and gnawed on it, just like he did when he was a prince.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo Kai was also very moved, and quickly took the chicken leg and started to chew it. At the same time, he felt deeply that Brother Haoran was indeed his confidant and Bole. Everything made sense to him, and he also understood that he was going to leave in the court. route.

All he needs to do is follow the king closely. It doesn't matter what the civil and military officials think of him. No matter how resentful they are towards him, they can't do anything to him.

Of course, you have to be prepared for assassination methods, as those people are becoming more and more useless.

"I heard that you were assassinated some time ago?"

After the two of them finished eating a whole roast chicken and drank wine to relieve their tiredness, Zhao Wangyan suddenly asked, his face a little gloomy.

"There was an assassination. It was when I was entertaining Brother Haoran and Brother Li Si. At that time, in order to entertain them, I specially invited a group of dancers from outside to show Zhao Wu's grace to the two.

But he didn't expect that an assassin was mixed in, and he was a dead soldier. He had a poison bag hidden in his mouth. He took the poison and committed suicide before being interrogated. "

Guo Kai briefly told what happened that day and was very angry.

"Hmph, they really regard Zhao as their own."

His face became more gloomy, and Zhao Wangyan was very angry.

As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on its owner. Guo Kai is his confidant, but those people sent dead soldiers to assassinate him. The nature of the matter has changed.

And if he can assassinate Guo Kai today, he might dare to assassinate himself, the King of Zhao, in the future.

This matter must be investigated to the end!

"Have you found any clues?"

Forced to suppress his anger, Zhao Wangyan asked.

The other party must be made to pay the price!

"We can't find it. The other party did it very cleanly and didn't leave any clues."

Guo Kai replied depressedly that he also asked people to investigate afterwards, but nothing was found.

The other dancers didn't know anything about it either, so there was no way to investigate. There were no clues at all.

"Being able to do it so cleanly is a testament to your strength."

With a cold look in his eyes, Zhao Wangyan's heart became even more murderous. He would never let such an unruly person stay.

"Assassination is a trivial matter after all. As long as the king can take full control of the court, those people's plans will be completely defeated."

Guo Kai didn't care much about this. After all, his foundation in Handan was too shallow. It was unrealistic to fight those people secretly, and there was no need to bother with that.

As long as he assists the king to control the court faster and better, it will be the biggest and cruelest response to those people.

"It's hard for you!"

Zhao Wangyan was even more moved. At the critical moment, his own people were still reliable.

"There are too many moths in the country. You should clean them up more in the future. You are enough for the corrupt officials and traitors. I don't want to see other moths lying on my body, Zhao, sucking blood.

Especially those sanctimonious people who not only make love letters but also erect chastity memorials. "

Turning the topic to the court, Zhao Wangyan has been really disgusted in the past half month.

In the past half month, Guo Kai and Li Si have teamed up to bring down many people, and each of them has a good reputation. Who would have thought that secretly they are all male thieves and female prostitutes, and they have done heinous things.

And the evidence is basically conclusive. These people are all blood-sucking moths lying on Da Zhao. Unless these moths are eliminated, Da Zhao will not be able to become strong.

It happened that Xiao Guo did a good job, so he asked him to clean up those people.

"I understand, I will not disappoint the king."

Guo Kai solemnly nodded and accepted the order. Guo Kai also had such a plan.

He himself can be a treacherous and corrupt official, but others cannot, because those people do not have his firm belief. They are the real treacherous and corrupt officials and must be eliminated.It is enough for Zhao Guo to have one treacherous and corrupt official!

Not to mention that his greed and treachery were approved by the king, and he was ordered to be greedy.

"One more thing. Nowadays, most of the military power of Zhao is in the hands of the old general Lian Po. I can feel relieved about the old general. My father also specifically warned him before his death. But what do his descendants and those deputy generals think? , I am very worried."

Speaking of another thing, Zhao Wangyan was very worried about this.

In his decades of career, Lian Po has proven his loyalty with practical actions. Moreover, Lian Po is also old and will most likely not do those treasonous things.

But he didn't know what his sons and lieutenants thought, and he couldn't be sure.

It would be bad if those people had any thoughts and affected Old General Lian Po.

After all, that was most of the entire Zhao army, so there were some things that had to be guarded against.

"We will think of a way to deal with this matter, but we will definitely not be able to plan it in a short time. The king here in the court has not fully controlled the overall situation, and those people will never be willing to lose power like this. There will definitely be a counterattack."

Guo Kai was also worried about this, and decided to discuss with Brother Li Si after returning. It would be best to invite Brother Haoran to discuss a countermeasure together.

"I think so too. It is not appropriate to make trouble with the old general Lian Po now. We can start planning slowly after we have captured the entire court."

Zhao Wangyan thought so, and he himself thought so.

After all, he had just succeeded to the throne and lacked prestige. It was difficult to intimidate those generals, especially those outside the country.

We must first control Handan here before we can slowly plan outward.

There is no need to rush this matter, otherwise you will cause trouble if you are not careful.

The two discussed some more things, and it was not until the sunset that Guo Kaifang took a carriage and returned to the mansion under the escort of a group of guards. He immediately found Li Si and invited Tian Hao.

"This matter is simple. There is no need to doubt the loyalty of Old General Lian Po for the time being. Just ask King Zhao to personally write a copy of Qin Wuanjun's life story and send it to Old General Lian Po, and he will understand."

After hearing what Guo Kai said, Tian Hao proposed a way. Anyway, Qin State would not go to war with the Six Kingdoms again for 20 years.

It would take them nearly ten years to conquer the Western Region and build the Great Wall at key locations to form a defensive front.

Then after taking Xianyang and killing the father-in-law and Luo Sheng, it will take ten years to rectify the Qin State and carry out a major change of blood to shape the Qin State into what they want.

Only in this way can we quickly and completely unify the war and take over the territories and people of the six countries faster and better.

This is the so-called skill of sharpening the knife and chopping firewood. Only if the preliminary preparation is perfect, the flaws will not be revealed in the later stage, allowing some people to take advantage of it.

He didn't want to play hide-and-seek with those mice for a long time. Either he wouldn't fight them, or if he wanted to fight them, he would kill them all at once.

And if we really have to wait 20 years, Lian Po will almost be dead.

You must know that Lian Po himself is a commander-in-chief general who plays with his brains. His own cultivation is average. If there is no special opportunity, he should be buried in 20 years.

Not to worry!

Therefore, he did not want Guo Kai and Lian Po to cause trouble, otherwise he would be in trouble once Lian Po was forced to the Wei side.

Whether Lian Po joins Queen Mother Leling's camp or Lord Xinling's camp, it is not a good thing for him and Great Qin.

At the same time, changing this event will definitely harvest a wave of mysterious power to assist in the use of his golden finger. It can be said that it can serve multiple purposes with one stone.

"Jun Qin Wu'an!"

After chanting for a while, Guo Kai's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Good plan!"

This is indeed a good strategy. It is not good to express your position clearly on this kind of thing, so as not to chill the hearts of Lian Po and many soldiers outside, or even cause a big change.

Now I will copy a copy of Qin Wu'anjun's deeds and give it to Lian Po. With Lian Po's intelligence, I will definitely understand the deep meaning.

If he is really loyal, he will definitely hand over military power on his own initiative and arrange everything.

If there is any dissent, just use it as a test.

However, they still have to wait until they take control of the court in Handan before they can act. In this way, even if Lian Po has something on his mind, they will be able to deal with it.

Moreover, the king is the king of Zhao after all. No matter how strong Lian Po is, he is just a minister. If he really wants to do such treacherous and unethical things, he will lose his righteousness.

"This matter should be done with courtesy first and then with force. We should make two preparations and let the king send a capable confidant to take over the army."

Li Si added that although he didn't understand why Brother Haoran made such a suggestion, it must have deep meaning, and he just needed to cooperate.

"Would you like to write another article about Tian Shi on behalf of Qi and send it along?"

Guo Kai had a new idea, but Tian Hao and Li Si were speechless.

"It's Guo Menglang!"

Seeing the looks on the two people's faces, Guo Kai understood that this proposal was not good and laughed dryly.

"Old General Lian Po is a smart man who knows how to make choices.

Moreover, Qin is eyeing the west. If Zhao really wants to cause trouble within the country, the Qin army will definitely take advantage of it.

In addition, the wolves and Donghu in the north are also greedy people. Once those foreign barbarians find an opportunity to cross the Great Wall and go south, the Zhao country will definitely be devastated, so General Lian Po will not rebel. "

Tian Hao still didn't want to force Lian Po and just let him return to Handan to retire until he died.

So hello me hello everyone.

"Another point is that during the Battle of Changping that year, General Lian Po was suspected once. He must have a grudge. Some things should not be taken too far."

Li Si added again.

"That makes sense. It's time for Old General Lian Po to take a break."

Nodding, Guo Kai agreed with these views.

"Do you two have any opinions on the situation in the world?"

Suddenly remembering something the king had said before in the palace, Guo Kai felt that he needed to understand the general trend of the world and his predictions for the future.

He doesn't have the ability in this area, but the two talented people in front of him can definitely analyze it.

"Brother Haoran, you are better at this."

Li Si looked at Tian Hao. His knowledge in this area was limited, so he still had to let Brother Haoran speak.

Guo Kai also turned to look at Tian Hao, looking forward to this.

Tian Hao was not polite at all. After organizing his speech, he explained: "The situation in the world is very obvious. There are two camps, the Six Kingdoms and the Qin Kingdom. It is unlikely that the Six Kingdoms will unite again to attack Qin. The last time they united The war caused heavy losses to all six countries.

Although the losses of Yan and Qi were small, they were the farthest from Qin and had the least motivation to go to war.

Mainly the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han and Chu. We have just come over from the Wei State. The Wei State Court is now in charge of the Queen Mother of Wei. The Queen Mother of Wei has inherited the legacy of the late king and advocated recuperation and recuperation.

King Zeng of Wei is still young and needs more than ten years to grow up. Before that, Wei will not take the initiative to go to war.

Not to mention South Korea, which is also unable to start a war.

The state of Chu further south is not having it easy. Even if a war starts, it will only attack Qin's Bashu land and has little to do with the Central Plains.

Zhao State was also unable to launch another war to attack Qin State.

In comparison, the problems on the Qin side are not small. Qin Wangzheng and Huang Tianhou have been working hard to conquer and develop the Western Regions in the past few years.

The Qin court was run by Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother of Qin, but Lu Buwei had a network to help him. Even the Qin king could not force him too much and could only choose to compromise.

Both sides are accumulating strength and waiting for the final decisive battle, which will probably take place when King Qin becomes an adult and takes power.

No matter whether he wins or loses after that battle, the Qin State will inevitably suffer heavy losses internally, and the courtiers will also be purged. It will be difficult to recover in less than ten years.

Therefore, Zhao Guoguo will have nearly 20 years to recuperate. During this period, at least there will be no large-scale war and it will be relatively stable..."

Tian Hao did not deceive people this time. He also wanted Zhao to recuperate and restore its population in the past 20 years. After the unification war began, he could move a large number of people to further fill the Western Regions and completely occupy them.

There is no way, the Western Region is too big, not to mention that he still wants to plan the north. There are not only endless grasslands, but also countless resource deposits. It is a treasure land.
