Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 255

Zhao Dan couldn't wait to know the answers to many questions.

Ju Xin said harshly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already sent people to hunt down the assassin."

If it is said that the person who hates this assassin the most at the moment, Ju Xin is definitely one of them.

If Zhao Dan died under Ju Xin's protection, Ju Xin couldn't imagine what would happen next.

Zhao Dan suddenly became excited, grabbed Ju Xin's hand forcefully, and said in an unquestionable tone, "We must keep alive!"

If no one is left alive, then Zhao Dan will not know who sent the assassin at all.

To be honest, Zhao Dan was also a little scared at this time.

If it hadn't been for Ju Xin's sudden sword that deflected Zhao Dan's carriage just now, maybe the arrow that penetrated the rear compartment would have penetrated Zhao Dan's head by the way

Ju Xin nodded vigorously, and said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let the minister escort the king back to the palace first!"

After half an hour, Zhao Dan who returned to the palace finally got his reward.

Several assassins were chased and killed by the Habayashi army all the way while fleeing. After a fight, two of the assassins were unconscious and captured, and the others were all killed by the Habayashi army.

After hearing the news, Zhao Dan immediately issued an order.

"Send the palace doctor with the best medical skills to take care of these two assassins, and they must not let them die!"

Zhao Dan said these words almost through gritted teeth.

Are you kidding, someone dares to assassinate a widow beside the main road in Handan City in broad daylight?

Is there any more royal law?

Still don't pay attention to the widow, the overlord of the Warring States Period?

The widow wants to see who is so hung up, and dares to hit the widow with his idea! !

Since the assassination took place on the main road under the eyes of everyone, the news of Zhao Dan's assassination spread throughout Handan City in an explosive manner almost immediately.

Therefore, Zhao Dan didn't even issue an order, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Bao, Yu Xin and Li Bo, the four important ministers of the State of Zhao who were still in Handan City, had already come to the palace and appeared in front of Zhao Dan.

After seeing the safe and sound Zhao Dan with their own eyes, the four important ministers all heaved a sigh of relief.

The current state of Zhao is flourishing under the leadership of Zhao Dan, but anyone who still thinks about the future of the state of Zhao will not hope that anything will happen to Zhao Dan at this time.

Even so, the four ministers present were very angry about this matter.

Xiangbang Zhao Sheng patted the table heavily, with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, there must be someone behind this assassin, so we must find out the mastermind!"

Si Kou Zhao Bao immediately agreed: "Your Majesty, Si Kou's subordinates are willing to be the king's forerunner. We must catch this envoy and punish his three clans!"

This kind of thing is Zhao Bao's job, so Zhao Bao naturally will not let go of this opportunity to make meritorious service.

Zhao Dan took a deep look at Zhao Bao, and then slowly said: "Let the monitoring guard and Si Kou be responsible for this matter together."

At this time, Yu Xin, who had been silent by the side, finally spoke: "My lord, I thought this might be an opportunity."

Zhao Dan glanced at Yu Xin, and couldn't help but ask, "What opportunity?"

Yu Xin smiled slightly and said, "It's an extremely beneficial opportunity for the King and Zhao Guo."

Chapter 259 A Blessing in Misfortune? (Second more)

As soon as Yu Xin said these words, all the people present were stunned by coincidence, and looked at Yu Xin with surprised eyes.

What kind of opportunity is this?

Xiangbang Zhao Sheng couldn't help but asked directly, "Why did Qing Yu say that?"

Yu Xin touched the beard under his chin unhurriedly, and asked with a smile: "From Mr. Pingyuan's point of view, if the assassin succeeds, who will benefit the most?"

This question first changed everyone's face, secretly scolding Yu Xin for being so daring, but immediately everyone began to think about Yu Xin's question again.

After a while, Zhao Sheng said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "What Yu Qing said, could it be Qin Wangji?"

In today's Zhao Kingdom, there is actually no force that wants to bring Zhao Dan down immediately. Zhao Dan's children are not yet grown up, and there is no 20-40-year-old prince, so it is far from enough to use this The desire and ability to drive Zhao Dan down in this way.

So after much deliberation, the biggest beneficiaries are undoubtedly the enemies of Zhao Guo.

Who is Zhao Guo's biggest enemy right now?Of course it is Qin Wangji!

"That's right!" Yu Xin immediately affirmed Zhao Sheng's answer: "It's Qin Wangji!"

Zhao Sheng looked at Yu Xin in astonishment, and asked, "Could it be that Yu Qing thinks that this assassin was sent at that time?"

Time is not a specific person, but refers to an official position in charge of Qin's spy agency, which can be understood as the head of the intelligence department.

Spy, it sounds like it is inseparable from words such as despicable, shameless, treacherous, and deceitful.

But it must be said that spies can play a very important role in this era of hegemony.

Sun Tzu pointed out in the chapter on the Art of War: "Therefore, only wise rulers and virtuous generals can achieve great success. This is the key to the army, and the three armies rely on it to move."

Specifically, in this era, the most famous and outstanding people are undoubtedly the spies of Qin.

No matter what kind of counter-intrigue, death or estrangement, all in all, the reputation and ability of Qin's spies in all aspects can be said to far exceed those of the six eastern countries.

From the Battle of Changping in history, Lian Po ran away, Li Mu was killed, and Qi's monarchs and officials were bewitched, etc., there were spies and spies from Qin who appeared.

Another example is that not long ago, Lou Chang, the former doctor of Zhao Guo Yushi who was imprisoned by the entire family, was punished. During the interrogation of other members of the Lou family, the supervisory guard also discovered several people who had become spies of the Qin State. .

The true identity of the "Hou" who is in charge of the Qin spy agency has never been known by any country other than Qin.

Even with the knowledge of Zhao Dan as a traveler, there is nothing about "Hou" found in the history books.

This "time" is like a shadow hidden in the dark, making everyone who knows its existence feel uneasy, but they don't know where it is.

So after Zhao Sheng said the name, the faces of the people present inevitably became a little ugly.

Yu Xin's face changed after hearing Zhao Sheng's words, but then he laughed again.

"Mr. Pingyuan's words, I'm sorry I don't agree with them. I have always acted despicably at that time, how could I use such an upright method to assassinate the king? In my opinion, the master messenger of the assassination must be someone else."

After a pause, Yu Xin continued: "But no matter whether the main messenger of the assassination is Qin Wangji or Hou, Your Majesty can say that this matter was done by the State of Qin. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

After hearing this, Zhao Dan finally understood when he looked at Yu Xin's sly expression.

This Yu Xin, what he wanted was not the truth, but a frame!

Yu Xin just wanted to plant this matter on Qin Wangji's head, so as to tarnish Qin Wangji's reputation!
