As soon as Gan Mao's voice fell, over there, Gongsun Zheng let out a sneer: "Lian Heng Qi Wei, weak Zhao cut Chu, and it is better to cut Wei than to cut Han... Hehe. ”

Gan Mao heard Gongsun Zheng's ridicule, his face turned cold, and he looked at Gongsun Zheng coldly and said, "Why does Gongsun think that the plan under him is so funny?" ”

"Don't dare." Gongsun Zheng shook his head, and then said with a smile: "I'm afraid the prime minister doesn't know, the king of Han has decided to go to the state of Chu to worship the king of Chu, if the prime minister insists on attacking Han, I am worried that when the time comes, my Qin country will not only face the reinforcements of the Zhao state, but also the Chu country's coalition army to save the Han." ”

"What?" Gan Mao was shocked, the news of King Han's entry into the Chu State, he hadn't heard the slightest rumor, just when he thought that Gongsun Zheng deliberately concealed the information.

At this time, Lou Yan, who was sitting opposite Gan Mao, coughed lightly twice, attracting everyone's attention, and then slowly spoke: "Great King, the minister just got the news from Song Xiangqiu, King Song is seriously ill and can't be a director, and now Song Prince Zhen has mastered the state affairs of the Song State and has begun to make peace with the Chu State. ”

"What?"

This time, it was not only Gan Mao who made a sound of surprise, but even Qin Wangdang and other ministers in the palace couldn't help but exclaim when they heard the news.

Then, Qin Wangdang immediately asked, "Prime Minister, is this news confirmed?" ”

Lou nodded slowly and said: "King, this news is true, although Prince Song can hide the internal situation of the Song Dynasty in order to avoid the retaliation of the Qi State, but Qiu Liu, as the Song Xiang, still found out the hidden secret. ”

Saying that, Lou slowly arched his hand and said: "The king, the minister has just gotten the news, and he is about to report to the king in the future, but now the right prime minister plans to unite the Song Kingdom, and it is the minister who hurriedly told the news." ”

When Qin Wang Dang heard this, a pimple immediately rose in his heart, although Lou Xuan was Qin Xiang, he always had his heart towards Zhao Guo.

If it weren't for the fact that the Qin State still needs to unite and stabilize the Zhao State, the position of the left prime minister of this building should have been changed a long time ago.

Thinking about it, Qin Wang Dang smiled and said, "It's okay, Prime Minister Zuo's news is just in time." ”

"King Xie." Lou bowed slowly, then straightened up to the side, and then looked at the other side with a smile intentionally or unintentionally.

Gan Mao led the army outside, and the voice of the DPRK criticizing Gan Mao poured towards the King of Qin like a tide, and he noticed the undercurrent surging within the Qin State, but at this time, he didn't mind pushing Gan Mao again.

After all, Gan Mao is among the Qin Kingdom, and he can be regarded as outstanding.

At this time, Gan Mao noticed the smile in Lou Xuan's eyes, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

However, he knew in his heart that this Zuo Prime Minister from Zhao had never been trusted by Qin Wangdang, and he was not his rival, his real opponents were Gongsun Hao and Sima Cuo.

It's just that now Lou Shu is telling the news of Song Guo at this time, but he is also ruthlessly calculating him.

If the news of the Han Dynasty's worship of the King of Chu did not fundamentally affect the plan to attack Han, then now that the Song State has fallen to the Chu State, it has made his plan to attack Han in vain.

Now that the state of Chu has obtained the two countries of Han and Song, plus the state of Zhao, which is about to leave, and the state of Yan, which is very close to the state of Chu in the north, it is difficult to succeed in the plan of Lianheng.

Just when Gan Mao was in shock, at this time, Xiang Shou arched his hand to Gan Mao and said: "Prime Minister, there is another news that you may not know, just now, after returning from a secret visit to Chu, the King of Chu has promised to negotiate peace with my Qin State, and has sent a peace envoy.

It didn't take a few days for the envoys of the Chu State to rush to Xianyang. ”

"Qin Chu made peace???! When Gan Mao heard this, he was shocked, as the right prime minister of the Qin State, he didn't know such important news.

Thinking about it, he immediately turned to Qin Wangdang for confirmation and said, "King, this matter is serious. ”

When Qin Wang Dang heard this, he first nodded awkwardly, and then glared at Xiang Shou fiercely, complaining that he shouldn't have told the news at this time, as if the whole Qin State was targeting Gan Mao.

It's just that after he saw Xiang Shou being glared at by himself, he immediately retracted his head, and couldn't help shaking his head, Xiang Shou was at odds with Gan Mao, and even Gongsun Zheng and others were at odds with Gan Mao, this is a long-standing problem, and it is difficult for them to fall into the well for Gan Mao.

Thinking about it, Qin Wangdang had no choice but to explain to Gan Mao by himself: "Prime Minister, Xiang Qing has just returned from a visit to Chu, and as soon as the widow gets the intention of the Chu State to negotiate peace, he immediately summons the ministers to come to discuss the matter of attacking Wei, so the news of Qin and Chu's peace talks, the widow has not had time to announce it to Qing and others." ”

When Gan Mao heard that the news was true, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart.

The news of Korea, the news of the Song State, and even the news of the Chu State, these important news related to foreign policymaking, he did not know anything.

At this moment, he, the right prime minister of the head of the hundred officials of the Qin State, seemed to have become an outsider to the Qin State's court discussions.

Thinking about it, Gan Mao arched his hand a little disheartened: "The king, the minister knows." ”

At this time, Wei Ran saw that Gan Mao was instantly depressed, and he couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart.

After Xiang Shou left the palace, he hurriedly entered the palace to lobby King Qin, wasn't it just for this moment?

Now he has planted a thorn in Ganmao's heart, and later on the king's heart, so that the trust between the king and Ganmao will inevitably be restored.

And as long as Qin succeeds in attacking Wei, then Ganmao's two most important external aids, Chu and Wei, will all be cut off.

He can't trust the king, he can't unite his ministers to his subordinates, and he doesn't have the aid of other countries, so how can Gan Mao gain a foothold in Qin.

As long as Gan Mao leaves, then he, as the highest official among the ministers of the pro-Chu faction, will definitely be able to get all the support from the Chu State.

Then, as long as the merit of defeating Wei is added, the road to becoming prime minister will be smooth.

Thinking about it, Wei Ran couldn't help but secretly become proud of this plan to expel Gan Mao.

However, just when he secretly got an opinion, he suddenly saw Qin Wang Dang looking at Gan Mao apologetically, as if he was going to comfort Gan Mao, seeing this, Wei Ran immediately spoke: "Great King, now that Korea and Song have fallen to Chu, and we have also formed an alliance with Chu, and Qi has also been weakened in the Battle of Huaibei, Wei has no reinforcements.

Therefore, the minister thought that at this time, it was the best time for our Qin State to seize Hedong.

Therefore, although the minister is not talented, he is willing to capture Hedong for the king. ”

King Qin was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Wei Ran, who was asking for his life.

The matter of attacking Wei was first proposed by Wei Ran, and the matter of contacting Chu was also planned by Wei Ran, and now that the overall situation of the attack on Wei has been decided, then the chief general of the attack on Wei is naturally Wei Ran, who promoted this matter.

Thinking about it, Qin Wangdang immediately pressed his thoughts to appease Gan Mao, and then nodded and said, "But..."

After the court discussion, Qin Wang Dang returned to the harem, and then found his younger brother Gongzi Zhuang, who did not have many contradictions with Gan Mao, and said: "Brother Xian, I was just discussing in the palace for my brother, because the widow failed to inform the prime minister Qin Chu of the peace in time, which led to some misunderstanding between the widow and the prime minister, so the widow planned to let the virtuous brother go to appease the prime minister." ”

After Qin Wangdang finished speaking, he waited for a while, but he didn't see Gongzi Zhuang replying, and couldn't help but look at Gongzi Zhuang hesitantly: "Brother Xian, the widow is talking to you, why don't you reply to the widow?" ”

When Gongzi Zhuang heard this, he remembered Gongsun Zheng's words, and his heart was ruthless, and he immediately surrendered his hand and pleaded guilty: "King, the younger brother just thought about the prime minister's affairs, and failed to respond to the king in time, and the younger brother is guilty and guilty. ”

King Qin was stunned: "What does the virtuous brother think, he is so distracted?" ”

"Great King, my younger brother has been thinking about it just now, seeing that the Chu State has broken the alliance of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song, and the alliance of the five countries has collapsed, it is impossible to even weaken Chu's plan, at least before the strength of the Wei and Song countries is restored, it is already impossible.

With the prime minister's meritocracy, such an obvious thing, the ministers and brothers can see it, why can't the prime minister see it. ”

King Qin was stunned: "This..."

Gongzi Zhuang saw that King Qin was stunned, was silent for a while, and then said uneasily: "The younger brother has been thinking for a long time, and he has some doubts in his heart, suspecting that the prime minister must be unwilling to lose the support of Wei after losing the support of the Chu State.

Therefore, the prime minister obviously knew the benefits of cutting Wei, but he still strongly opposed sending troops to attack Wei. The Prime Minister's move is to sell our Qin State to the Wei State in order to obtain the full support of the Wei State for the Prime Minister. ”

“···” When Qin Wangdang heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and asked himself silently: "Yes?" Or not? No? Or is there one? ”

On the other side, after Gan Mao returned to the mansion, he waited for Qin Wangdang's explanation to him, waiting for Qin Wangdang's reward or comfort, to show that Qin Wangdang still trusted him as always.

It's just that he waited until it was dark, and he didn't wait for Qin Wangdang's envoy.

In the end, Gan Mao sighed: "Three people become tigers, Zeng Zi kills people, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me." ”

Sighing, Gan Mao muttered softly: "Perhaps, the king is complaining that I am miscalculated, complaining that I should not have coveted the wealth of Hanbei and rejected Hanzhong when the Chu State came to negotiate peace last time!" ”

A few days later, Zhaochang arrived in Xianyang.

In the Qin Palace, after Zhao Chang expressed the willingness of Qin and Chu to make peace, the King of Qin smiled and said: "Mr. came to negotiate peace, the widow is not very happy, in order to express the sincerity of the widow, Mr. can discuss peace with the widow in detail, or even the alliance between the two countries." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chang looked at Gan Mao on the side, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister came to Qin State to negotiate peace this time, and he came to negotiate peace with sincerity.

But when the minister arrived in Xianyang, the king came up with a shameless villain who went back on his word and broke his promise to talk to me, where is the king's sincerity? ”

"You..." When Gan Mao heard that Zhao Chang scolded him for being a shameless villain in person, he was immediately furious.

At this time, Zhao Chang heard Gan Mao's roar, smiled coldly at him, then turned his head to look at Qin Wangdang, and said in a tone that rejected people thousands of miles away: "If the king has no intention of making peace, then the minister will not bother and leave." ”

After speaking, Zhao Chang turned around and walked out of the hall.

Seeing this, Qin Wangdang was anxious, and now Qin was already preparing to send troops to attack Hedong of Wei. At this moment, how could Zhao Chang be allowed to leave like this, wasn't this deeply offending the Chu State?

Thinking about it, King Qin said hurriedly: "Sir, slow down..."

As soon as Gan Mao heard Qin Wangdang's mouth, his head suddenly dizzy, and then he fell into deep despair······
