Gangchengjun Mansion.

Cai Ze was not in a good mood while sitting in his study.

The reason why he was in such a bad mood was of course because in the previous meeting, his opinion on rescuing Wei State was not approved.

After years of war, Zhao State has not only not declined due to military militancy, but has become increasingly powerful, which has made many people, including Cai Ze, feel very worried.

"Once Wei State is destroyed, Taibai of the Central Plains has already been in the hands of Zhao. I think that the rebellion of the six ministers in Jin State was able to dominate the world for hundreds of years. Now Zhao State's population, land and military strength are far better than that of Jin State. There is also a wise king like Zhao Wangdan in the country, but the king still doesn't know how to make good countries to resist Zhao, but instead plans to plan a canal. It's really...ah!"

Cai Ze couldn't help but sigh, his helplessness was beyond words.

In Cai Ze's opinion, Yiqiu Kingdom is simply a small problem, just like a minor illness and a minor pain. Even if you don't go to the treatment for the time being, it will not lead to too much problem.

But like Zhao State, it is not a minor illness or pain, but a tiger that is young and strong, squatting at the gate of Qin State, may suddenly rise up and devour!

Moreover, due to the loss of the Wuhan passage, the gate of Qin was almost unprepared for the tiger of Zhao!

It is a foolish decision to abandon Zhao and seek Yiqu!

When he thought of this, a name immediately appeared in Cai Ze's heart, and he felt extremely dissatisfied with this name.

"Lu Buwei... this damn jester! If he hadn't bewitched the king, then things would not have become what they are today! If Lu Buwei did not eliminate it, it would be difficult for the Qin Dynasty to rise!"

Cai Ze slapped the table hard, causing the utensils on the table to jump around.

A report from a confidant housekeeper suddenly came from outside the door: "The head of the family, there is a distinguished guest in the palace who asked for a visit."

"A distinguished guest in the palace?" Cai Ze was very shocked for a moment, then immediately stood up and said, "Why don't you invite me quickly!"

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 a prime minister during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Cai Ze is not unfamiliar with this old eunuch who often stays with King Zhaoxiang of Qin.

Although he was just a eunuch, Cai Ze still politely asked the other party to take a seat, then held everyone away, and politely asked the other party about his purpose.

The old eunuch, Hou, said to Cai Ze with a smile: "Guang Chengjun, I came here for a big thing this time."

Cai Ze straightened up slightly and said seriously: "I dare to ask what the king has to give?"

Hou was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Gang Chengjun misunderstood. This time, the reason why someone came here was not to be ordered by the king."

Cai Ze was stunned again, and his arrogant expression instantly returned to his face, and said lightly: "So why do you come?"

Obviously, without the order of the king, this "just an old temple man" is obviously nothing in the heart of Cai Ze, an important minister who is the censor of the Third Duke of Qin State.

Hou obviously felt the difference between this attitude, so he took out a token from his hand and placed it in front of Cai Ze.

Cai Ze first turned his attention to the token without hesitation, and then he suddenly shocked. He subconsciously reached out and picked up the token and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Cai Ze slowly put down the token, and the shocked expression on his face had not even completely disappeared: "You are..."

A smile appeared on Hou's old face: "My name is Hou."

The last hint of arrogance on Cai Ze's face also left with the spring breeze passing through the room.

"So you are the wait..."

"Yes." Hou nodded and said, "Guang Chengjun, you should be able to discuss the important matter now."

"Of course." Cai Ze suppressed the shock in his heart and said seriously: "Please tell me."

Hou whispered to Cai Ze: "I heard that Gang Chengjun is very alert to the expansion of Zhao State and has always been an attitude of suppressing Zhao State."

Cai Ze nodded and said, "Zhao State is the number one enemy of the Qin Dynasty, and Yiqu is just a small problem."

Because he didn't know why Hou came, Cai Ze was not in a hurry to express his attitude.

Hou laughed: "Jun Gangcheng, don't be so alert to me. Let me tell you the truth. This time I came to visit Jun Gangcheng, hoping that Jun Gangcheng would facilitate the attack on Zhao in the country."

Cai Ze was excited and asked subconsciously: "Is this the king's order?"

Hou shook his head gently and said, "This is the order of an old minister who is loyal to the Qin Dynasty."

Cai Ze stared at Hou tightly and said after a long time: "This is not something Hou should say."

Hou smiled and said, "When people get older, they will naturally have more ideas, which is normal."

"The king will not agree to this plan." Cai Ze shook his head and said, "Otherwise, the last major court discussion would not have been like that."

"No." Hou said: "Guang Chengjun should know that the king's ears are actually very soft. As long as he can persuade him more, he will easily change his position."

Cai Ze snorted and said, "But there is still Lu Buwei! Lu Buwei is deeply trusted by the king. The weight of his words is not comparable to you and me at all!"

Hou nodded and said, "That's true. But have Gangcheng Jun ever thought that if Wu Chengjun could not exert influence on the king?"

Cai Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost couldn't wait to say, "Why, do you have the handle of Lu Buwei?"

Hou shook his head and said, "Wu Chengjun is a human being. Although I have been monitoring him for a long time, the little things I have obtained are not enough to shake his trust in the king's heart."

Cai Ze's face suddenly showed disappointment. He knew very well that Lu Buwei's status actually came from the trust of King Chu of Qin. As long as Qin Wang Chu could shake his trust in Lu Buwei, it would not be very difficult to drive Lu Buwei away.

In fact, this is also the sorrow of all ministers. As long as you do not have the trust of the king, it will be a matter of time before you get out of here.

But now, even the secret intelligence leader, cannot catch Lu Buwei's handle, which is enough to prove how cautious Lu Buwei is in daily life. In this way, it is basically impossible to get Lu Buwei out of office through this method.

Hou looked at Cai Ze calmly and said, "Gang Chengjun may have misunderstood. My intention is not to defeat Wu Chengjun, but to transfer Wu Chengjun from Xianyang. As long as Wu Chengjun leaves Xianyang, it should not be difficult to convince the king with Gang Chengjun's ability, right?"

Cai Ze finally came to his senses and said half-believingly: "So how should we transfer Lu Buwei from Xianyang?"

Hou said: "There are two reasons. First of all, there was another rebellion in Bashu this year, which could allow Wu Chengjun to go south to quell the rebellion. Secondly, the war in Yiqu was not good, so Wu Chengjun could also go north to command troops."

Cai Ze suddenly realized and slapped his thigh and said, "Miscellaneous, wonderful! Since that's the case, let us plan this matter well."

That night, many of Cai Ze's confidant ministers were secretly summoned to Cai Ze's mansion, and the lights in the study were endless.
