Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 269

Yu Xin smiled unhurriedly, and said: "Si Kou's words are wrong. Wei Wangyu is cold-hearted and extremely suspicious. Before Longyang Lord Gao Ji was so favored, once he was suspected, he couldn't do it." How can Wei Wuji be compared with Gao Ji if he is saved from death? The reason why Wei Wangyu trusts Wei Wuji now is because of the consequences of Gao Ji's assassination, and because Wei Wangyu knows that Wei Wuji can't compete with Zhao Guo, but! "

Yu Xin coughed and paused for a while, and continued under the displeased eyes of everyone: "But Wei Wuji's great talent, you must have known it for a long time. Wei Wuji has always shown his sharpness without hiding it. With Wei Wangyu's character, he will regenerate sooner or later. Suspicious, your Majesty only needs to send a powerful lobbyist to Daliang, and he will definitely be able to persuade Wei Wangyu, so that the Wei Kingdom will collapse without attacking itself!"

This strategy of Yu Xin is actually not new at all, it is just a "division scheme".

But after Yu Xin finished speaking, several Zhao Guo ministers present looked at each other, but they all saw expressions of approval from other people's faces.

Although it is indeed a very old routine, it is precisely because this routine is useful that it is widely known.

As long as it works, don't care if it is old-fashioned or not!

Zhao Dan glanced at Yu Xin with satisfaction, and nodded slightly.

What Yu Xin said was exactly the method Zhao Dan planned to use.

When he was considering whether to send Wei Wuji back at the beginning, Zhao Dan had already thought about what to do if Wei Guowan really became stronger under Wei Wuji's leadership in the future.

In the end, Zhao Dan came to the conclusion as follows.

First, Wei Wangyu's suspicion of Wei Wuji always exists and cannot disappear.

Second, even if Wei Wuji would go against Wei Wangyu's wishes in some matters, rebellion is basically impossible for Wei Wuji, and Wei Wuji would not even do such a thing as ostracizing Wei Wangyu, Therefore, Wei Wangyu must have power in his hands, enough to restrict Wei Wuji.

It's almost an endless loop.

As long as this vicious cycle cannot be untied, Wei will always be caught in internal friction, and it will be impossible to become stronger no matter what.

From a historical point of view, Wei Wangyu used Wei Wuji twice to deal with external powerful enemies, and when the external threat was a little less, he immediately abandoned Wei Wuji like a shoe. This shows Wei Wangyu's respect for Wei Wuji suspicion.

Although it seems that because of Gao Ji's little accident, the brothers Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji have a rare mutual trust, but this kind of trust is actually quite fragile, and only a little provocation is needed. The trust between Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji will be gone.

It can be said that the existence of Wei Wangyu is equivalent to an insurance, an insurance that will definitely not make Wei Guo stronger.

If Wei Wangyu knew that Zhao Dan had such a role in his mind, he might be so angry that he would vomit blood

Zhao Dan said: "What do you think, what does Qing Yu think?"

Zhao Sheng coughed and said slowly: "I think that Yu Qing's opinion may be feasible."

Although this is actually a bit of a trick to my brother-in-law, but Zhao Sheng has nothing to do. Relatives are actually nothing compared to the country. The ancestors of Qin and Zhao came from the same source hundreds of years ago, and they were in the same family. ?

Zhao Bao snorted and didn't agree, but he didn't object either.

Li Bo also agreed.

So Zhao Dan made a decisive decision: "Since that's the case, then please trouble Zheng Zhu to make another trip to Daliang."

Zheng Zhu and Su Dai, the big and small pedestrians in the country of Zhao, have been very busy recently, and they can be called a brick of the revolution.

Just when everyone's calculations were settled and the meeting was about to adjourn, Miao Xian, who had just gone out for a while, returned to the hall and reported a message to Zhao Dan.

"Your Majesty, there is a return from Hedong County."

Zhao Dan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said, "Quickly tell me."

A few days ago, Zhao Dan arranged an assassination plan for Meng Ao after a meeting.

Calculating the time, it should be time to pay off.

Chapter 274 Shocking Changes in the Hedong Prefect's Mansion (First Update)

June 259, 12 BC.

The cold has become the theme song of Hedong County. Almost everyone put on winter clothes, and Wang Ji, the governor of Hedong County, is no exception.

Wang Ji, who was wearing a black fur robe, also had a dark complexion at this moment.

Although it was morning, there was no sunshine, and snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, falling on Wang Ji's body and face, which made the governor of Hedong County feel a bit chilly.

Wang Ji led two followers all the way in his county guard's mansion, and soon came to a small building in the backyard of the mansion.

Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao State, lived in this place.

When Wang Ji saw Zheng Zhu, Zheng Zhu was eating meat and drinking with gusto under the service of two young maids, his face was slightly red, and he looked a little drunk.

Although it was cold outside, there was a stove in the hall, so it seemed quite warm.

Zheng Zhu saw Wang Ji and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, why don't you sit down and have a drink with me."

Wang Ji shook his head, took off his coat, waved all the others back, then sat in front of Zheng Zhu, and said seriously, "Da Xing, it's been so long, is there no response from Handan?"

"Handan?" Zheng Zhu said with a smile to Wang Ji, "I remember that a few days ago I informed the county guard that the king had ordered Hu Yiwei to prepare to assassinate Meng Ao."

Wang Ji took a deep breath and said, "But at that time, Da Xing told me that the time had not come yet, and I had to wait for the assassin to arrive. Now that Meng Ao has repeatedly urged me, where is the assassin?"

Wang Ji's tone was a little impatient.

Since it is an assassination, an assassin is indispensable.

Wang Ji didn't have any capable people in his hands, so when Zheng Zhu proposed that Zhao Guo send assassins, Wang Ji naturally agreed happily.

According to the plan that Wang Ji and Zheng Zhu discussed in secret at the beginning, the assassination operation will start when [-] conscripted civilian husband soldiers enter the barracks for handover.

But now it has been less than half a month, and Meng Ao has sent people to urge Wang Ji to send the county soldiers several times, but because the assassins have not arrived for a long time, Wang Ji has not brought these county soldiers over yet.

Wang Jidao: "Today is already the fourth time Meng Ao has sent people to urge him. If there is any further delay, I'm afraid Meng Ao will really become suspicious."

Zheng Zhu unhurriedly took a sip of wine, opened his mouth to let out a mouthful of alcohol, and said with a smile, "Why should the sheriff be in a hurry? If that Meng Ao really couldn't hold back, shouldn't he go to the city to meet the sheriff in person?"

Wang Ji sighed, and said: "It's strange to say that Meng Ao would come to the city to see me for anything, but recently he disappeared and so on, could it be that Meng Ao saw through our plan? "

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Wang Ji's forehead. If Meng Ao really saw through Wang Ji's attempt to betray, then with Wang Ji's current strength, it was impossible for him to be Meng Ao's opponent.

Zheng Zhu looked at the terrified Wang Ji, and couldn't help laughing: "The sheriff is too worried. If Meng Ao really saw through the sheriff's plot, how could the sheriff survive to this day?"

After Wang Ji thought about it, it seemed that this was the truth, and then he slowly put his heart back into his stomach.

But even so, Wang Ji still planned to urge Zheng Zhu again.

After all, for Wang Ji, this matter is a major matter related to his life and even his future, and Wang Ji attaches great importance to it.

Before Wang Ji could speak, Wang Ji's confidant butler suddenly hurried into the hall and whispered in Wang Ji's ear: "A messenger from Xianyang arrived with the king's order."

Wang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said to Zheng Zhu who was still intoxicated with alcohol: "Da Xing and rest assured, I will go first if I have something to do."

Zheng Zhu raised the bronze wine bar in his hand, and said with a smile: "The governor is busy, I just need to be accompanied by good wine."

Looking at Zheng Zhu's appearance, Wang Ji also murmured in his heart.
