Chapter 329 Lobbying Guo Kai
Ever since Wang Jian led his troops to the expedition, the topics between Ying Zheng and Shimi often revolved around the battle, and they no longer had time to take care of the daily trivial matters. Ying Zheng was preoccupied with this battle. As soon as Wang Jian left for the expedition, he hoped to receive news of victory from the front!
Shimi saw that it was late at night, but Ying Zheng was still studying the map in the side hall, so he knew that he would not come tonight. He was about to get up and leave, but saw the door open.
It turned out that it was Li Silu who came at night. Seeing that he was not wearing official uniform and was only wearing civilian clothes at home, he knew that he had been suddenly recalled by Ying Zheng.
"You're finally here. Look, what good news Wang Jian has brought to me!"
Ying Zheng handed the letter to Li Si, and Li Si hurriedly stepped forward. He glanced at Shi Mi secretly when he passed by her, and then said hello to her. The two of them had become somewhat tit-for-tat after Han Fei's incident, although Li Si respected her on the surface. Shimiya is the queen, but she often scolds her behind her back.
Shimi looked at the two men studying the letters carefully in front of the candlelight, and realized that he was redundant. As he was about to leave, he heard Li Si say:
"Your Majesty, God is helping the Qin Dynasty this time!"
"Yes! I think so too! Then it is necessary to temporarily make friends with the Yan State according to the wishes of the Prime Minister?"
"Yes... Then of course we have to fight against the Zhao State with them, but if the two countries fight against the Zhao State together, it will take some time. According to the opinion of the ministers, this battle must be fought quickly. When the Zhao State is destroyed, Yan Before the country can retreat completely, attack them in one fell swoop!"
When Ying Zheng heard what Li Si said, he naturally became more and more excited and asked quickly
"Does the Prime Minister have any clever ideas?"
Li Si looked so confident that Shimi couldn't help but be curious, so he stopped.
"Your Majesty, the general sent by the State of Zhao this time is Lian Po. Although Lian Po is a bad old man now, his ability to march and fight has not diminished. You see... Although the State of Yan is weak, it can divide its troops into three We didn’t get any benefit from the raid on Zhao State, which proves that Lian Po is the backbone. If we go there rashly, we might fall into Lian Po’s scheme!”
"Then do you have a way to get rid of Lian Po?"
Li Si smiled, stroked his gray beard, and said
"This State of Zhao is no longer the former State of Zhao. Today's Zhao State has a stupid monarch who does not care about state affairs at all and only listens to Guo Kai's words. Your Majesty... you don't know something. Guo Kai is a villain. He forgets his righteousness when he sees profit. He is not a good person at all. As a loyal minister, wait for the minister to bring gold and silver treasures to bribe him and ask him to replace Lian Po. In this way, Zhao's army will be leaderless!"
"Lian Po is an old minister of the Zhao Kingdom with great military exploits. Can Guo Kai replace him with just these external possessions?"
Shikiya couldn't help but interrupt and asked.
Li Si glanced at Shimi, and then said respectfully to Ying Zheng
"Your Majesty, who is Guo Kai? Naturally, I know, and I am sure of it. If he doesn't agree, it means we didn't bribe enough. Now Zhao is besieged by Yan and Qin, and the city is about to be broken. Guo Kai If you were smart, why would you live with your stupid king? You should have chosen another wise master long ago!"
Ying Zheng thought about it and naturally felt that it made sense, but he still asked uneasily.
"If Lian Po is replaced, who might they find to fight this battle?"
Yingzheng was afraid of Shimi's presence, but he pretended to be intentional and asked
"Will Li Mu be sent?"
When he said this, Ying Zheng did not forget to look at Shi Mi. The two looked at each other and conveyed too many words. Ying Zheng's eyes seemed to be searching, and the fear in Shi Mi's eyes revealed his concern for Li Mu. .
But Shimi still stood aside, meeting Ying Zheng's gaze without hiding anything, with a faint smile on her face, calm and calm.
"Li Mu will not be sent! Your Majesty... Li Mu used to be a good man, but now he is just a soldier stationed at Yanmen! Since the new monarch came to the throne, Li Mu has no longer been reused. Even if Lian Po is forced to leave, he cannot be Li Mu. ! Your Majesty, you can rest assured!”
yes! Shimi deeply understands how difficult it is for Li Mu to find his way in the situation of Zhao State. Over the past ten years, not only has his time been wasted, but his future has also been delayed. How can Shimi feel deeply about his former savior? No trouble at all?
"Okay, since the Prime Minister says so, then go and do it immediately! If the treasures you bring cannot buy him off, then add more! I don't believe it. He is just a Prime Minister, but he can refuse all the gold, silver and jewels!"
After Li Si retreated, Shimi asked
"Lian Po is a loyal minister of his generation. Isn't it a bit unkind to remove them from the post of general through such a divorce plan?"
To Ying Zheng, such words are just a joke.
"What is unkindness?"
Ying Zheng asked rhetorically
"Haven't you ever heard that soldiers never tire of deceit? If they successfully lobby Guo Kai to ask Lian Po to resign as general, can you blame me? If you want to blame it, blame the fatuous monarch of Zhao State, Guo Kai's greed for money and unrighteousness, and Lian Po's failure to do so. Mr. Ze Ming, you can’t blame me at all.”
Li Si took the order and immediately went to prepare. Although he was in the Qin State, he was very familiar with the character and temper of Guo Kai of the Zhao State. This man was originally a villain. If the current king of the Zhao State was not so stupid, how would he have been the prime minister!
Naturally, Li Si made this trip in person, and he carried a carriage full of gold, silver, and jewelry. When the two met in secret, Li Si naturally did not mince words and told Guo Kai bluntly that Lian Po would not be allowed to charge into the battle as a general again in this battle!
The car full of treasures made Guo Kai unable to take his eyes away. Looking at his money-grubbing look, Li Si knew that he would definitely not return empty-handed from this trip!
"How is it? The State of Qin has shown full sincerity, and the Prime Minister also knows what to do, right?"
Greedy people don’t like to let others know their greed. Although Guo Kai couldn’t move his eyes away, he pretended to say
"Removing Lian Po from being a general is a simple matter, but it is also difficult to do. Mr. Li, you also know that Lian Po is a respected and respected old minister. I can't replace him with just a few words!"
Li Si looked into his heart. Seeing him pretending, he sneered in his heart, but he said it nicely.
"Although Lian Po is an old minister, in the current state of Zhao, you have the final say as the prime minister! You hold many powers, don't you have more trust from the monarch than Lian Po? If you come forward, the king of Zhao will naturally listen to you! "
Li Si smiled, bowed deeply to Guo Kai, and clasped his hands in a fist gesture
"I, the King of Great Qin, say that if you are the Prime Minister, you can help Great Qin! If there is trouble in the future, Qin will definitely not leave it alone! If the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, I will not take your life, Prime Minister!"
Guo Kai kept his promise, and after taking the property, he attacked the envoy to divorce.
Seeing Zhao Yan lying on his side on the couch, surrounded by some warblers and swallows, he didn't look like a serious monarch.
"Your Majesty, the State of Qin has also sent troops to attack the State of Zhao. General Lian Po is the only one. Is it difficult to resist?"
Zhao Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile
"Lian Po was left to me by the late king, how could he not be able to resist..."
