The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 229
In Handan, the capital city of Zhao State, a scribe came to the outside of the city gate on horseback. He saw that the city wall that had been destroyed during the Qin War had been rebuilt. The capital in front of him was like a mighty army. Watch the passing pedestrians vigilantly, and if there is any suspicious person, then go forward to question and inspect.

This scribe is none other than Liu Ji and Liu Bowen. At this moment, he is going south from Xu Da's army to Handan. The purpose of his trip is to subvert the notice of Zhao Wang's military officials.To subvert a regime, the first thing to do is to cut out all the talents in the regime.

This is like dealing with a big bird that is good at flying. You have to cut off its feathers first. Chen Gong is the feathers of Zhao Wang Wuchen.

But Liu Ji would not be so stupid as to go directly to Chen Gong. The best way is to ask Wu Chen to pluck out his own feathers. Only in this way can he gain Chen Gong's loyalty.

On the way here, Liu Ji had already thought about how to do many things.After Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated, he stayed outside all the time, unwilling to lead his troops back to Zhao. Many people already knew his intentions.

Before he knew it, Liu Ji had already arrived outside Zhao Xie's mansion. Outside the mansion of every prince and grandson, there must be vicious guards guarding the gate.

Zhao Wang Wuchen has always been worried that Zhao Xie will unite with the old nobles of Zhao State to rebel, not only sent warriors to guard Zhao Xie, but also set up many eyes and ears,

Liu Ji didn't even look at Zhao Xie's mansion, and walked directly towards Zhao's palace.

Liu Ji has Zhao Jun's big seal on his body, and it is very simple to ask to see King Zhao at first sight.The soldiers at the palace gate immediately exchanged the respectful seal to Liu Ji, and went to inform King Zhao.

Not long after, King Zhao received Liu Ji.

In the palace, only Zhao Wang sat kneeling behind the desk, his face looked a little pale under the morning sun, I don't know if it was because he didn't sleep well during this time, or because of other reasons.

"The last general Liu Ji pays homage to the king!"

Liu Ji stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and shouted loudly.

During the whole process, his demeanor was dignified and extremely respectful. When King Zhao saw such a respectful courtier, the haze in his heart could not help but dissipate a little.

"There are still such loyal people in Zhao Guo, and the power of Zhao Guo is still in my hands!"

"The general returned from Zhu Yuanzhang's army, why are you alone?" Wu Chen asked in a deep voice, and did not call Liu Jiping himself.

Liu Ji knelt down on the ground and said, "Report to the king that Zhu Yuanzhang intends to rebel. I accidentally saw the letter between Zhu Yuanzhang and Lord Chen Gong in the army, so I risked my life and fled back to expose Zhu Yuanzhang's disobedience to the king." !"

"Ah! It's rare to have such a loyal man like you!" Zhao Wang Wuchen couldn't help but excitedly said, Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion, many people already knew about it, but no one dared to speak out.

"Quickly flatten your body!" King Zhao waved his hands at this point, and Liu Ji put on a grateful expression, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, villain!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang intends to rebel. I have already heard about this matter. It's just that you said that Chen Gonghui and Zhu Yuanzhang have correspondence, which is somewhat slandering the ministers of the court!" Zhao Wangwuchen's face sank slightly.

Liu Ji knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "The villain has long known that he would be punished by the king for saying this, but for the sake of the king, even if the villain is dead, he must speak out what is in his heart!"

Zhao Wang's face changed again and again, Liu Ji knelt on the ground, without looking up, he knew that Zhao Wang's face must be reconciled, but this... was exactly what he needed.

"Tell me, how can I believe what you say!" Zhao Wang said after a long time.

Liu Ji arrived immediately: "Your Majesty, do you still remember who paid such attention to the Allied Forces of the Five Nations?"

"Of course it's Chen Gong!" King Zhao said it without thinking.

"If there is no such thing as the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, can Zhu Yuanzhang gain the military power of our Zhao State and control the army? Moreover, the minister is under Zhu Yuanzhang's command, and he understands what he is doing very clearly. At the time, the Allied Forces of the Five Nations were nearly twenty More than [-] people went south and arrived at Yancheng all the way. The rest of the armies of the four countries all marched towards Zhang Chu's army stationed in Guangling City. Only Zhu Yuanzhang stationed the army in Yancheng and did not move!

Why?This is deliberate rebellion!If all the soldiers of Zhao State fought with Zhang Chu’s army and killed them all, then Zhu Yuanzhang’s rebellious power would be greatly weakened. When I escaped from the barracks, I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had sent an envoy to join forces with Zhang Chu’s rebel Zhou Yu. , Ran Min, and Zhang Fei!
Your Majesty, as for the letter written by Chen Gong to Zhu Yuanzhang, in order not to alarm Zhu Yuanzhang, the subordinates dare not steal it, so please ask your majesty to learn from it! "

Wu Chen's face was gloomy. Thinking about it, it really is true. Without Chen Gong's suggestion, how could the Allied Forces of the Five Nations go south?How did Zhu Yuanzhang gain the power to lead the army?
"Not good! Xu Da under Zhu Yuanzhang's command is currently stationed in Lingshou. If Zhu Yuanzhang rebels, then Xu Da's army will retreat. Isn't the lonely king in danger?" Zhao Wang Wuchen immediately shouted!
Liu Jixin smiled secretly. It seemed that King Zhao had already fallen for it, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this. When I was in Zhu Yuanzhang's army, I didn't find any correspondence with General Xu Da. What's more, I have heard that Xu Da General Da has a reputation for loyalty, so I think he will not join forces with that Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Although that's the case, we have to guard against it!" King Zhao stabilized a little.

Liu Ji said again: "I think His Majesty can now promote Xu Da to the rank of General. This is to bestow favor on Xu Da. In this way, even if Xu Da has any thoughts in his heart, he will not mess around!"

"The words are powerful. Now that you have such a talent, the lonely king was negligent before. Now the lonely king has promoted Mr. Zhongqing, participated in the court meeting every day, and rewarded him at Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion in Handan!"

"The king is so kind to the villain, how dare the villain not plan for the king!" Liu Ji was about to laugh in his heart, this King Zhao was more foolish than he imagined.

"As for Xu Da, Mr. Lao will be there!" Zhao Wang said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best. If Xu Da really has the intention of treason, please allow me to kill him, seize the military power, and dedicate it to Your Majesty!"

"That's great!" King Zhao waved his hand, and a guard walked in from outside the hall. King Zhao said, "Lead Mr. Zhongqing to register!"

"Here!" The guard nodded respectfully and led Liu Ji back out.

Seeing Liu Ji's back disappear at the gate of the hall, Wu Chen's expression darkened immediately, and he shouted: "Send Chen Gong!"

"Here!"

The trusted guard immediately responded loudly, and after a while, Chen Gong came to the main hall in a hurry.

Zhao Wang Wuchen forced to suppress his inner anger, and asked softly: "Aiqing, Zhu Yuanzhang's army is out now, and the tail is too big to lose, what good plan does Aiqing have?"

When Chen Gong heard the words, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, for the reason why I led the army to attack Zhu Yuanzhang, I also ask for your Majesty's permission. Within one month, I may kill Zhu Yuanzhang by hand, and come back to report victory to the King!"

This is good. If Zhao Wang hadn't heard what Liu Ji said before, if Chen Gong said that, Zhao Wang would definitely think that Chen Gong is a loyal minister, but now that it stops in his ears, he feels that Chen Gong is a traitor Come to fool your own military power again.

If the only tens of thousands of soldiers left in Handan were handed over to Commander Chen Gong, Chen Gong would immediately turn his troops around and conspire against him before he left the border of Zhao State!
Zhao Wang suddenly sneered: "If it wasn't for Mr.'s previous scheme, why would Zhu Yuanzhang control the army? If it weren't for you, the lonely king's country would become so unstable! You should reflect on the good life of the lonely king now, The lonely king will give you one last chance!"

"Ah! The minister is loyal to you, but the sun and the moon, please take back your life!"

Chen Gong suddenly turned pale with shock, completely unable to understand what was going on!Zhao Wang, who usually obeys his words, is targeting himself all of a sudden?

"Could it be that Zhang Er and Zhao Sao were careful to spy on their prime minister's position, so they came to slander the king?" Wang Meng may only think of this kind of thing.

In the imperial court, there was nothing more than a conflict of interests. No matter what he thought, Liu Ji under Zhu Yuanzhu's command had already begun to plot against him.

"Chen Gongtai, Chen Gongtai, the lonely king will give you one last chance. If you plead guilty in prison, the lonely king will not kill you, and he can reuse you again. If you refuse to admit it, then you will really hurt the lonely The king's heart!" Zhao Wang Wuchen felt very painful, he and Chen Gong were monarchs and ministers on the surface, but in his heart, he regarded Chen Gong as a friend.

The feeling of being betrayed by his courtiers and friends came to his heart all at once, King Zhao only felt the pain in his heart as if a blunt knife was cutting his flesh.

……

Before Liu Ji walked out of the palace gate, he heard that Chen Gong had been arrested, and he was both happy and speechless. This Zhao Wang has no city in his chest, and he should not be able to sit on the throne.

In history, Wu Chen was indeed the king of Zhao who hadn't been there for long, but a general named Li Liang of Zhao State rebelled and killed Wu Chen because he was humiliated by Wu Chen's sister.
But many people think that after this incident, there should be a hand secretly pushing it, and this hand is Zhao Xie, a descendant of the Zhao Kingdom!
Soon, Liu Ji went to Xu Da's army with Zhao Wang's edict.

Both Xu Da and Liu Ji tacitly agreed, and they both acted as if they were meeting for the first time, and their words were very polite.

After reading the imperial edict, Liu Ji pretended to be walking in the army.

Xu Da set up a banquet to entertain the guards who followed Liu Ji, and when the guards were drunk, the two quietly left the barracks and came to an empty and deserted place.

"Sir, you are really talented. You have already become the Minister of State of Zhao after only one day's absence!" Xu Da couldn't help teasing.

But Liu Ji waved his hand: "My contribution this day is more than that. Do you know that Chen Gongtai has now been taken into prison by the king? According to my opinion, Chen Gongtai will write a letter to Zhao Wang in a short time, and he will definitely reprimand him." Zhao Sao and Zhang Er framed him!"
