Zhao State Shangqing, Yu Xin Mansion.

A banquet with extremely high standards but only three participants was held in the lobby of the mansion.

The banquet was held by Yu Xin to celebrate his ally Lian Po's promotion to Wu Xiangjun, and another Zhao State nobleman Lin Xiangru was invited.

These three people are also the three giants of the scholars in Zhao State today.

The banquet was very rich and all kinds of delicacies were dazzling, but Lian Po obviously had no intention of tasting it. After eating a few bites, he put down his knife and fork and said in a depressing voice: "I have something to ask you, don't hide it from both of you!"

Yu Xin and Lin Xiangru looked at each other, and the master Yu Xin smiled and said, "Jun Wu Xiang said nothing."

Lian Po looked at Yu Xin and asked, "What are the strange rumors in the city?"

Yu Xin's expression remained unchanged: "I wonder what rumors Wu Xiangjun was saying?"

Lian Po slapped the table with a bang: "Yu Xin, do you really think I am confused? I'm going to swear by these nonsense?"

Lin Xiangru, who was standing beside him, hurriedly smoothed out the situation: "Brother Lian, please say it well and say it well."

Among the three giants of the Scholar Sect, Lian Po is undoubtedly the leader of Lian Po. If you talk about the degree of trust in King Zhao, Yu Xin is the most trusted. However, everyone knows that the true backbone of the Scholar Sect is Lin Xiangru, because only Lin Xiangru can combine these two giants with very different styles together.

After Lin Xiangru's persuasion, the anger on Lian Po's face slowly faded, and he said coldly: "I just want an explanation!"

Yu Xin sighed and said, "Yes, the rumor that was not good for Zhao Kuo was indeed spread by someone after I discussed with Lin Qing.

If not, it is hard to say whether you can be Wu Xiangjun now."

Lian Po's face tightened, and then said angrily: "I don't want this bullshit Wu Xiangjun. I know my credit for this Changping Battle. This time, Zhao Kuo is the command and planning of the battle. Even without me, I can still win!"

Although Lian Po was old, he still spoke very straightforwardly.

Yu Xin nodded and said, "Of course we know this kind of thing, but what would happen if that happened? Have you ever thought about it?"

Lian Po snorted and said, "In that case, Zhao Kuo will get the credit he deserves, and I don't need to feel guilty!"

Yu Xin shook his head and said, "In that case, the Office Sect will have three kings, Pingyuan Jun, Pingyuan Jun and Zhao Kuo. But the leaders of the three scholars, you, me, and Lin Qing, are only the Shangqing! The three kings and waiters will not be optimistic about our scholars.

At that time, the office will send the government to the prime minister Pingyuan Jun and the army to have famous generals like Zhao Kuo, and we will be all done. Do you understand?

Is this what you want to see?”

Yu Xin asked back, which made Lian Po unable to answer, but the old general said, "You have someone spread rumors in Handan, and make suggestions in front of the king, and put Zhao Kuo's credit on me, that's wrong!"

Yu Xin sighed and said, "Jun Wu Xiang, only politics is a matter of life and death, so where can we get the right or wrong?

Is it the result you want to see that our scholars have been suppressed all the way and eventually killed by Pingyuan Jun and Zhao Kuo?

How many people are dependent on us and want to follow us to help the king and Zhao Guo create a great cause. Do you have the heart to completely ruin their future because of your shame?"

Lian Po was completely silent.

Lin Xiangru sighed and said, "Brother Lian, you and I have known each other for decades, so how can I not know your anger and concerns?

But now that Pingyuanjun is growing in power, we can only rely on your prestige in the army to support it, but now Zhao Kuo... Alas, we are helpless."

Lian Po was silent for a long time and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would do such a thing in the end! Stop it, this wine - it's better not to eat it!"

After saying that, Lian Po stood up straight and left Yu Xin's mansion directly.

Yu Xin looked at Lian Po's departure back and asked, "Lin Qing, Wu Xiangjun..." Lin Xiangru was a little confused, and after a while, he said, "It's okay, he will figure it out."

Yu Xin nodded with confidence and said, "This is the best.

But this matter cannot end here. Next, we must find a way to limit Zhao Kuo and not allow Zhao Kuo to perform like this anymore."

Lin Xiangru hesitated and said, "Yu Qing, Zhao Kuo will know what we are doing sooner or later, so don't mess with him for the time being."

Yu Xin said disapprovingly: "It's just to strike while the iron is hot. Besides, what can Zhao Kuo do if he knows it?

He had no evidence at all, and he had no way to do anything to us.

Lin Qing, you don’t need to worry, I will plan this matter myself.”

When Yu Xin said this, he was quite confident.

A mere Zhao Kuo is only twenty-five years old. He may be able to command wars, but when it comes to political struggles and officialdom, Zhao Kuo is just a bride.

Zhao Kuo, why should he fight with Yu Xin?

... Go to the doctor's house.

Lou Chang was the head of the Lou family generation, and Lou family was a branch of the Zhao royal family. Lou Chang is now the Censor of Zhao State (equivalent to the Secretary-General of King Zhao). He is deeply trusted by King Zhao. Basically, the orders issued by King Zhao must be passed by Lou Chang and then conveyed.

At this moment, Lou Chang was meeting a secret visitor from Guanzhong in his study.

Lou Chang stared at the person in front of him and said coldly: "Ji Xinpiao, didn't you say it last time? As long as I help you spread the rumor of replacing Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, and then make a statement in front of the king to replace Lian Po, will the dispute between my Lou family and your Qin State be completely over?"

The middle-aged man named Ji Xinpiao looked quite sinister, and his pair of triangular eyes flashed with glitter, he looked like he was not a good person. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Why should Doctor Lou speak so heartlessly?

Ling Zunlouyan also served as the prime minister in our Qin State back then. Did he just ignore the friendship?"

Lou Chang sneered and said, "You King of Qin is just my father's court, what kind of friendship can you have?

I don’t care what you intend, the things I have done for you have been completed, and the Lou family doesn’t owe you anything to Qin. Get out of here!”

Ji Xinpiao laughed and said, "Doctor Lou is too heartless, right?

Let me tell you the truth. After this failure in Changping, our king was already furious. We must achieve this goal no matter what, otherwise everyone will be questioned.

Our king's method also Dr. Lou also knows, so if Dr. Lou really doesn't give face, we have to break the verge of death and spread the cooperation between Dr. Lou and us."

Lou Chang was furious and slapped the table and said, "You dare!"

Ji Xinpiao shrugged and said, "If you can't complete the task, you will die. I, Ji Xinpiao, are dead. Are there anything else I dare not do?

I wonder what King Zhao felt when he learned that Doctor Lou was actually doing things for Qin?"

Lou Chang stared at Ji Xinpiao with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Ji Xinpiao smiled and said, "Doctor Lou doesn't have to do this. If I didn't leave Lou Mansion today, then the whole of Handan will know about Doctor Lou tomorrow. Doctor Lou is a smart person, so I must know what to do, right?"

The room was in a long silence.

After a long time, Lou Chang said slowly: "This is only once, I won't be the case!"

Ji Xinpiao obviously had expected it, and smiled and said, "This is natural."

Please rest assured Dr. Lou, I, Ji Xinpiao, will definitely do it when I said it.”

Lou Chang sneered and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Ji Xinpiao smiled slightly and said, "Our king's order is very clear, that is - kill Zhao Kuo!"

Lou Chang was shocked and said, "Are you king crazy?"

Ji Xinpiao spread his hands: "No matter whether the king is crazy or not, we have no choice, Doctor Lou, what do you think?"

Lou Chang pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll think of a solution for you as soon as possible.

But if you come to harass me again after this time, I will definitely fight you to the death!"

Ji Xinpiao's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Then it's a matter of determination! Also, the faster the better!"
