Chapter 763: Hou and Cai Ze (Third Update)
Tsunashi Jun's Mansion.
Cai Ze sat in his study, not in a very good mood.
The reason why he was in such a bad mood was, of course, because in the previous meeting, his proposal to rescue Wei Guo was not passed.
Today's Zhao State has not only declined due to reckless warfare, but has become more and more powerful, which makes many people, including Cai Ze, feel very worried.
"Once the Wei State is destroyed, then the Central Plains Tai Half has entered the hands of the Zhao State, thinking that the Jin State has the rebellion of the Six Qing Dynasty and can dominate the world for hundreds of years, and now the population and land and military strength of the Zhao State are far better than the Jin State of the year, and there is such a Ming monarch as Zhao Wang Dan in the country, but the king still does not know how to form a good alliance with the countries to resist Zhao, but to plot what righteous canal, it is really ...... Alas! β
Cai Ze couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and his helplessness was beyond words.
In Cai Ze's view, what Yiqu Country is a small problem at all, just like a small illness and a small pain, even if it is not treated for the time being, it will not lead to too big a problem.
But like Zhao Guo, it is not a small illness or pain, but a tiger in the prime of life, squatting at the gate of the Qin country, which may burst out at any time to choose someone and devour!
And because of the loss of the Cuihan passage, the gate of the Qin State is still almost undefended for the tiger of the Zhao State!
Abandoning Zhao Guo to take the righteous canal is simply a stupid decision!
As soon as he thought of this, a name immediately appeared in Cai Ze's heart, and he was extremely dissatisfied with this name.
LΓΌ Buwei ...... This damn Rigoletto! If he hadn't bewitched the king, then he wouldn't have let things get to where they are today! If Lu Buwei is not removed, it will be difficult for Daqin to rise! β
Cai Ze slapped the table hard, causing the utensils on the table to jump wildly.
Outside the door, a confidant butler's announcement suddenly came: "Master of the house, there are distinguished guests in the palace who ask to see you." β
"Distinguished guests in the palace?" Cai Ze was very obviously stunned, and then immediately stood up and said, "Don't hurry up and please!" β
A moment later, an old eunuch appeared in front of Cai Ze.
Cai Ze looked at the old eunuch with a look of surprise on his face.
As the prime minister of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Cai Ze is no stranger to this old eunuch who often serves by King Qin Zhaoxiang's side.
Although he was just a eunuch, Cai Ze politely invited the other party to take a seat, and then retreated from the crowd and politely asked about the other party's intentions.
This old eunuch, that is, Hou said to Cai Ze with a smile: "Gang Chengjun, this time I came here for a big matter. β
Cai Ze straightened up slightly, and said with a straight face: "Dare to ask the king what he commands?" β
After waiting for a moment, he smiled and said: "Gang Chengjun misunderstood, the reason why he came this time was not to be ordered by the king. β
Cai Ze was stunned again, his arrogant expression instantly returned to his face, and he said lightly: "Then where did you come from?" β
Obviously, in the absence of the king's order, this "mere old temple man" is obviously nothing in the heart of Cai Ze, an important minister who is the third prince of the Qin State.
Hou obviously felt the difference between these attitudes, so he took out a token from his hand and placed it in front of Cai Ze.
Cai Ze first set his eyes on the token disappreciatively, and then the whole person was suddenly shocked, and subconsciously reached out to pick up the token and looked at it carefully.
After a long while, Cai Ze slowly put down the token, and the shocked expression on his face hadn't even completely dissipated: "Your identity is ......"
A smile appeared on Hou's old face: "My name is Hou." β
The last trace of arrogance on Cai Ze's face also disappeared with the spring breeze passing through the room.
"It turns out that you are the ......"
"Yes." Hou nodded and said, "Gang Chengjun, you should be able to discuss business now." β
"Absolutely." Cai Ze suppressed the shock in his heart, and said, "Please speak." β
Hou whispered to Cai Ze: "I heard that Gang Chengjun is very wary of the expansion of the Zhao State, and has always adhered to the attitude of suppressing the Zhao State. β
Cai Ze nodded and said, "Zhao Guo is the number one enemy of Great Qin, and Yiqu is just a small trouble." β
Since he didn't know why he came, Cai Ze was not in a hurry to show his attitude.
Hou laughed: "Gang Chengjun doesn't have to be so wary of me, let's tell the truth, this time I came to visit Gang Chengjun, I hope that Gang Chengjun can promote the countries to attack Zhao." β
Cai Ze perked up and subconsciously asked, "Is this the king's order?" β
Hou shook his head lightly and said, "This is the order of an old minister who is loyal to Great Qin. β
Cai Ze's eyes were firmly fixed on Hou, and he said for a long time: "This is not what Hou should say. β
Hou showed a smile and said, "When people get old, they naturally have more ideas, which is normal." β
"The king will not agree to this plan." Cai Ze shook his head and said, "Otherwise, the last great court meeting would not have been like that." β
"Nope." Hou said: "Gang Chengjun should know that the king's ears are actually very soft, as long as he can persuade more, then he will easily change his position." β
Cai Ze snorted and said, "But there is still Lu Buwei!" LΓΌ Buwei has won the trust of the king, and the weight of his words is not comparable to you and me for the king! β
Hou nodded and said, "That's true." But did Gang Chengjun ever think about what if Wu Chengjun couldn't exert influence on the king? β
Cai Ze's eyes lit up suddenly, and he almost couldn't wait to say, "What's the matter, you have Lu Buwei's handle?" β
Hou shook his head and said, "Wu Chengjun is a well-behaved person, although I have been monitoring him for a long time, but the little things I got are not enough to shake his trust in the king's heart. β
Cai Ze's face suddenly showed disappointment, he knew very well that LΓΌ Buwei's status actually came from Qin Wangchu's trust, as long as Qin Wangchu's trust in LΓΌ Buwei could be shaken, then it would not be very difficult to get rid of LΓΌ Buwei.
In fact, this is also the sorrow of all the ministers, as long as they are not trusted by the king, it is only a matter of time before they get out.
But now he can't even catch LΓΌ Buwei's handle as the head of secret intelligence, which is enough to prove how cautious LΓΌ Buwei is in his daily life, so it is basically impossible to remove LΓΌ Buwei from power through this means.
Hou looked at Cai Ze calmly and said, "Gang Chengjun may have misunderstood, I don't mean to defeat Wu Chengjun, but to transfer Wu Chengjun out of Xianyang." As long as Wu Chengjun leaves Xianyang, then it should not be difficult to convince the king with the ability of Gang Chengjun, right? β
Cai Ze came back to his senses and said with some disbelief: "Then how should Lu Buwei be transferred from Xianyang?" β
Hou said: "There are two reasons. First of all, a rebellion broke out in Bashu this year, which allowed Wu Chengjun to go south to Bashu to quell the chaos. Secondly, if the battle of Yiqu is unfavorable, Wu Chengjun can also be allowed to go north to command the army. β
Cai Ze suddenly realized, patted his thigh and said, "Wonderful, wonderful!" In that case, let us plan this well. β
That night, many of Cai Ze's confidants and ministers were secretly summoned to Cai Ze's mansion, and the lights in the study kept on all night.
