Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 276 National Thief
Zhao Yan's arm slowly fell.He who was born under the brilliance of a bully star never became the overlord of a generation after all.

But, as Zhao Yan himself said.Now, the state of Zhao is in a troubled time, and at any time, it will be defeated by the state of Qin, and the country's subjugation will follow one after another.

Zhao Yan was lucky, he was born with the status of Ba Xing, and with the support of the former King Zhao, he climbed to the throne almost without hindrance.

However, he is also sad.Zhao Guo, who passed through his hands, after the Changping battle, has long since lost the prosperity that was enough to fight against Qin.Even if he also has the same intelligence as others, he still cannot escape the reputation of being the master of ruin.

It is so sad to say that he died under the deterrence of Qin State rather than dying of illness!
"Woooooooo..."

Following Zhao Yan's death, sobbing suddenly resounded in the entire hall.

However, at this moment, Guo Kai, who was kneeling in front of the bed and crying, suddenly stood up, wiped away his tears, and bowed down to Prince Zhao Qian who was beside him.

"Chen, Guo Kai, pay homage to the King!"

Guo Kai's solemn and solemn appearance startled the young Zhao Qian.

However, looking at the powerful Xiangguo prostrated in front of him, the little Zhao Qian suddenly felt a sense of arrogance.

This sense of arrogance even suddenly dispelled his sorrow for the death of his father Zhao Yan.

"Master Xiangguo, please get up quickly."

Zhao Qian pretended to be in a panic, walked up to Guo Kai with small steps, and helped Guo Kai up.

"Xiangguo, my father used to say a lot about the good name of Xiangguo before his death. When he was dying, he handed over all the affairs of the state to Xiangguo. How dare he trust Xiangguo in front of him!"

However, Guo Kai shook his sleeves slightly, avoiding Zhao Qian's little hand, and still knelt down and said: "Now that the former king is dead, you are the king, and all state affairs are in the hands of the king. Guo Kai Don't dare to cross the line!"

Guo Kai's words made Zhao Qian slightly taken aback, and then became even more elated.

"Your widow, you must live up to the love of the Prime Minister!" Zhao Qian, who was so happy in his heart, could not help clearing his throat, and said like Zhao Yan before his death.

However, after saying this, Zhao Qian, who was still young, suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Now that the late king has passed away, all the tools should be handed over to Xiangguo to deal with the funeral." After thinking for a long time, Zhao Qian saw Zhao Yan on the bed and said sadly.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!"

However, at this time Guo Kai exclaimed and jumped Zhao Qian.

"Why?" Zhao Qian asked suspiciously.

"At this moment, the army of the Northland is fighting, and they are at a disadvantage. If the news of the former king's death spreads, it will definitely affect morale!"

Guo Kai lowered his head, looking earnest.

"Extremely! Extremly! I forgot!" Zhao Qian exclaimed after realizing it.

"However, my lord, the commander of the three armies, Wu An Jun Li Mu, after all, is my General of Great Zhao. I'm afraid I need to tell him about this matter..."

"Li Mu?"

Zhao Qian, who heard Li Mu's name, frowned slightly, and a look of displeasure and disgust suddenly appeared on his small face.

Zhao Qian, who grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, has long been disgusted with this so-called general guarding one side, Zhao Guozhushi, under the influence of Zhao Yan.

At this time, when Guo Kai mentioned Li Mu, Zhao Qian couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis and uneasiness.

"No!"

Zhao Qian shook his little head, showing a calm look.

"Your Majesty?" Guo Kai looked at Zhao Qian with a puzzled expression and asked in confusion.

"When the late king was here, I heard that the king of Qin was the younger brother of Pastor Li. If the news of the late king's death were revealed to Li Mu, I would be worried that Li Mu would come down to Qin!"

After Zhao Qian finished speaking, he nodded slightly, feeling more and more reasonable what he said.

Guo Kai lowered the corner of his mouth, revealing a slight smile.

Li Mu surrendered to Qin?I'm afraid, only the child in front of me would think so.

With Li Mu's position as the commander of the three armies, he enjoys incomparable prestige in the army. If he wants to surrender to Qin, he probably doesn't need to hide it from his subordinates.Why wait until the late king dies?
And this is also the reason why Guo Kai has continuously reviewed government affairs for Zhao Yan in the past few days, which aggravated his condition.Otherwise, if Zhao Yan was alive, no matter how much he hated Li Mu, he would never replace Li Mu in this crisis.

Only by exhausting Zhao Yan to death, and waiting until Zhao Qian came to power, taking the name of Gu Ming, and taking advantage of the opportunity of blocking the news of his death, to monopolize the government, can he achieve his goal.

"If the king is worried, I have a plan, whether Li Mu is loyal or not." Guo Kai "hesitant" for a long time before he said.

"How?"

Zhao Qian's eyes lit up, and he didn't doubt Guo Kai's words.

"Now, Li Mu controls almost all the military power of the Zhao Kingdom. If he really surrenders to Qin, the consequences will be as the king said, which will be unimaginable. If the king ordered at this moment to deprive Li Mu of military power, if Li Mu surrendered his military power, it would be enough to show his loyalty. .If he doesn't follow, then..."

As Guo Kai talked, he lowered his head again, showing a respectful demeanor.

After hearing Guo Kai's idea, Zhao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good! Great good!"

Zhao Qian slapped his thigh, frustrating his little hand, and was extremely excited.

"But……"

Immediately, Zhao Qian's expression darkened, and he said with some distress: "What if Li Mu doesn't want to hand over his military power, or directly betrays Zhao because of it?"

Guo Kai smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if Li Mu is unwilling to hand over his military power, we can use the secret that has already been planted around Li Mu."

"Oh? Anzi? Who is it?" The distressed look on Zhao Qian's face was swept away again.He widened his small eyes, looked at Guo Kai and asked excitedly.

"Le Ren!"

Guo Kai didn't hesitate at all, and directly said the name.

"Le Ren?"

Zhao Qian frowned, closed his eyes, and kept thinking in his mind.

And Guo Kai was not in a hurry, but looked at Zhao Qian silently.

"I don't know..."

In the end, Zhao Qian still sighed and shook his head with some regret.In his impression, in order to make him be wary of Li Mu, Zhao Yan almost told all the capable generals under Li Mu, but there was no such thing as Le Ren.

"It's understandable that the king doesn't know this person. Because, the only ones who know this matter are the minister and the former king."

"Oh? Then is this person capable of killing Li Mu? Xiangguo, tell me quickly!" Zhao Qian felt a sense of pride when he heard that this was a top secret, and urged him again and again.

"This person is a person in different clothes. And now he is Li Mu's personal soldier and lieutenant, Your Majesty, what do you think?" Guo Kai said with a slight smile.
