Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 61
There are no useless people, only people who use the wrong place. This sentence can be said to be vividly reflected in Guo Kai.

If it is about governing the country, Guo Kai can be said to be a waste. If the country is handed over to him to govern, I am afraid that it will not take long, and the people will be in dire straits.

But if it is about flattery and backstabbing, then Guo Kai is definitely one of them.If you have enmity with him, you can't say when, before you notice it, you will have died without a place to bury you. The most important thing is that the whole process has nothing to do with him.

Just like Li Mu this time, no matter whether it was creating rumors or impeaching Li Mu at the court, it seemed to outsiders that he had nothing to do with Guo Kai, and the only thing he did positively was to inform Queen Mother Zhao about the departure of Young Master Jia.

However, it was precisely this point that completely put Li Mu to death.The combination of the leading generals and the unstable forces in the court is definitely a force that can change the dynasty.

Just as Guo Kai thought, after the Queen Mother Zhao summoned Zhao Wangqian for a detailed discussion, the mother and son had already concluded that Li Mu must have something to do with the son Jia, intending to rebel.

Just at this time, Zhao Lin's letter was presented.

King Zhao was completely sure after reading Zhao Lin's secret letter, so Li Mu must have been half-hearted.

"Li Mu, damn it!" Zhao Wangqian angrily swept everything on the desk to the ground with the letter in his hand.He took a few deep breaths, but felt that he was not relieved, so he threw away all the porcelain and other utensils in the palace, so shocked that the palace people outside the palace gate dared not say a word, and even dared not step on the palace gate. For fear that when King Zhao was furious, he would rashly enter and be used as a punching bag.

This is not without precedent. When the war was unfavorable earlier, several eunuchs and court ladies ran into the angry King Zhao and were brutally beaten to death.

Therefore, at this time, the servants of the Xin Palace just listened to the crackling sound outside the palace gate, silently praying that King Zhao would not draw his anger on himself.When the anger is exhausted, things can be disposed of again, but one's life cannot be repeated.

"Go, call Guo Kai into the palace for an audience!" Just as the palace people outside were uneasy, Zhao Wangqian's order came from inside the palace while panting heavily.

The highest-ranking palace guard outside the palace heard this, as if he had heard a pardon order, he was delighted, "I'm going to Xuan Guo's false appearance to enter the palace, you guys go in and clean up."

After all, he left the Xin Palace non-stop as if fleeing for his life, and the palace people left behind immediately became ashamed. Wouldn't it be a joke to go in and clean at this time, but Shangfeng had already ordered him to go in, otherwise the foreign minister When they came in and saw this, they lost the face of the Wang family, and they were the ones who were unlucky.

After Guo Kai received the order, he immediately rushed to the palace without stopping.

When Guo Kai arrived, Xin Palace had been cleaned up, and some broken porcelain had been replaced with new ones.

"Li Mu is really a heinous person. King Wanggu valued him so much that he was named Lord Wu'an. He was so ambitious that he wanted to plot trouble with that thief Zhao Jia." As soon as Guo Kai arrived, Zhao Wangqian couldn't wait to speak.

It can also be seen from this that Guo Kai's position in Zhao Wang's heart, once there is a big event, Zhao Wangqian always summons Guo Kai to discuss it at the first time.

Zhao Wangqian has the utmost trust in Guo Kai, the "official minister" left to him by his father.Sometimes Guo Kai's opinions can even influence King Zhao's decision, just like the black hand behind Zhao Guochaotang.

Of course, this is also related to Guo Kai's methods, no matter what Guo Kai can always handle, Zhao Wangqian feels that Guo Kai is completely thinking of him.It's not like Li Mu and his gang who can't do this or that can't do it all day long, and sing against themselves every day.

It's just that King Zhao never imagined that Guo Kai, whom he regarded as a model of honesty and integrity, had accepted bribes from Qin State and began to add fuel to the process of Zhao State's demise-although he had done a lot before.

"General Li Mu's military achievements are outstanding, and the king treats him very well. Although there are rumors in the city recently, he should not do such a thing, right?" Guo Kai said cautiously.

Since he had created an appearance of staying out of the matter from the beginning to the end, Zhao Wang mentioned that he couldn't show that he was quite familiar with the matter.

"This letter was sent by Zhao Lin from Bairen City on a fast horse. Just take a look. Wang Ben Wang has so much trust in Li Mu, and he is so ignorant of loyalty!" While Guo Kai was reading the letter, Zhao Wangqian remained uninterrupted. Cursing Li Mu fiercely, it can be seen that he is in a hurry.

Although Guo Kai knew the content of the letter long ago, he still pretended to read it carefully and gathered the bamboo slips together. "Your Majesty, based on the one-sided words of the supervisor and some pretentious rumors, is it a little bit..."

Sometimes, when a person has already concluded a matter, other people's appropriate doubts will not only have no counterproductive effect, but will deepen his opinion.What's more, Guo Kai's words seemed to excuse Li Mu, but the basis for the excuse was indeed secret letters in the army and rumors in Handan City, which added fuel to the fire.

"Guo Huaying should know that yesterday Zhao Jiatong's family and a few rebellious officials and thieves escaped from Handan City." Zhao Wangqian analyzed seriously. "The rumors in Handan City mainly involved Li Mu and Zhao Jia. Originally, the lonely king did not suspect the two, but if the two hadn't colluded with each other, these rumors were right on point, why did Zhao Jia run away overnight. "

"It can be seen from this that the rumors in Handan City are definitely not just rumors. It should be that the loyal and upright people in the country learned of Li Mu and Zhao Jia's plan, and used this method to warn the king!"

After listening to it, Guo Kai claimed that it was true, "The king's thoughts are really thorough, and there are no omissions."

Young Master Jia also ran in time, otherwise, if he stayed in Handan City, when Guo Kaili was waiting, it would not be Young Master Jia who dragged Li Mu down, but Li Mu who dragged Young Master Jia down.Although I don't understand that Young Master Jia must be involved in Xu Cheng's message, but Young Master Jia is a thorn in the side of Zhao Wang's mother and son, so it's nothing to get involved and get rid of easily.

Ziying, who is a latecomer, knows that after Zhao's death, son Jia took a group of old and young to Daijun to claim to be the king, and united with the Yan Kingdom for several years. It would be best if they could be resolved together.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven.Still he ran away.

"After being confused by the king, Guo Kai also felt that Li Mu must have a double heart for Zhao Guo, so he had to get rid of it!" Guo Kai echoed.

"However, Li Mu has commanded the army for a long time, and his prestige is very strong. If he replaces him rashly, he may cause Lian Po's old troubles. With the power of Zhao Guo now, we have to guard against it!"

What Guo Kai was talking about happened in the period of the former king. At that time, under his slander, King Zhao Mourning relieved Lian Po's military power and sent Le Cheng to replace him. Lian Po directly led his troops to attack Le Cheng in a rage.

The slander was committed by Guo Kai himself, so he remembered it in detail.
