"As long as we drug Ying Zheng and cripple him, the so-called problem will no longer be a problem.”Zhao Sheng said sinisterly.
"My dear minister, you are wise. I also have this idea. Since I can't kill him, I'll cripple him.”Prince Zhao Xiaocheng was excited when he heard that. He nodded slightly.
"Alright, this lowly subject will immediately arrange for people to do this.”Zhao Sheng smiled.
"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion.”Zhao Mu said hurriedly.
"Hmm? What do you think?" Prince Xiaocheng said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, if we cripple Ying Zheng, Ying Zichu will naturally guess that we are here. "After he ascends the throne and becomes the King of Qin, his only son has been crippled by us. With nothing to live for, he will still crazily take revenge on our Zhao Country.”Zhao Mu poured a bucket of cold water on King Zhao Xiaocheng. He knew that this king was a capricious man. Now that he heard that he was going to cripple Ying Zheng, he was so excited that he might regret it tomorrow.
No, there was no need for tomorrow. Zhao Mu was sure that if he said this, Prince Zhao Xiaocheng would regret it!
"Indeed, with the current strength of the State of Zhao, if we really start a war, we are no match for those tigers and wolves. In these few years, they would not be able to fight with the Qin country.”As expected, Prince Xiaocheng regretted his decision. He turned to Zhao Sheng and said,""Lord Pingyuan, let's forget about this matter!”
" This…" Zhao Sheng's eyes rolled.
"Your Majesty, the reason why Lord Pingyuan kept killing Ying Zheng was actually for his own benefit.”Zhao Mu took a step forward.
"Marquis Julu, don't slander me.”Zhao Sheng said in exasperation.
Prince Zhao Xiaocheng did not stop Zhao Mu and signaled for him to continue.
"During the Battle of Changping, it was Lord Pingyuan's idea for Zhao to occupy Shangdang. It was also because of this that led to the defeat of the Battle of Changping. In my opinion, Lord Ping Yuan wanted to kill Ying Zheng just to vent his anger. I, Zhao Mu, have been humiliated by Ying Zheng, and I can endure it, so why can't you, Zhao Sheng, endure it?”Zhao Mu said sinisterly.
"It's pure nonsense." Zhao Sheng was hit by Zhao Mu's words. He was furious and continued,"When we first occupied Shangdang, it was with the King's approval.”
"Then you mean that the king is wrong?”Zhao Mu was already prepared and was waiting for Zhao Sheng to fall into his trap.
Zhao Sheng was shocked and secretly thought of Zhao Mu's evil intentions. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice,"Your Majesty, I'm not talking about you. It's just that Zhao Mu is too infuriating. I'm so angry that I'm spouting nonsense.”
Prince Zhao Xiaocheng snorted heavily, clearly displeased, and said,""Nonsense? I want you to tell me the truth!"
He didn't punish Zhao Sheng, but he didn't make Zhao Sheng stand up.
After the defeat of the Battle of Changping, the Qin army surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao. Zhao Sheng invited reinforcements from Chu. Zhao Sheng's brother-in-law, Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, stole the talisman to save Zhao, and the siege of Handan was lifted. However, it was a good thing that the siege of Handan was lifted, but King Xiaocheng was not happy.
This was because the people of Zhao were all praising the merits of Zhao Sheng, the Lord of Pingyuan, and not the merits of King Zhao Xiaocheng. Some people even belittled King Zhao Xiaocheng. For a time, Prince Zhao Xiaocheng's prestige plummeted.
What made Prince Xiaocheng wary was not the rumors, but the fact that Zhao Sheng could borrow a large number of reinforcements. Since Zhao Sheng could borrow it once, he could borrow it a second time. As long as the timing was right, Zhao Sheng could replace him.
At this moment, Zhao Mu took advantage of the situation and became another confidant of Prince Zhao Xiaocheng. What Zhao Mu did was very simple. As long as Zhao Sheng supported it, he would oppose it. This was exactly what Zhao Xiaocheng wanted.
"But Ying Zheng has killed so many soldiers of the State of Zhao, are we going to let him off so easily? I really don't feel comfortable being bullied by an eight-year-old child.”Prince Zhao Xiaocheng looked at Zhao Mu and sighed softly,""Marquis Julu, you've suffered!"
Zhao Mu saw that Zhao Xiaocheng didn't punish Zhao Sheng and understood that Zhao State was in a crisis and needed a strong assistant like Zhao Sheng to help them.
"To share the burden of the country, this little humiliation is nothing. However, Lord Pingyuan is right, Ying Zheng must be on guard, and I have an idea.”Zhao Mu said.
"I have heard of your wise advice, Marquis Julu." Zhao Sheng said, biting the word "wise".
"Tell me." Zhao Xiaocheng King was interested.
"Although Ying Zheng is powerful, we have neglected an important thing.”Zhao Mu kept her in suspense.
"What is it?" Zhao Xiaocheng hurriedly said.
"He is only eight years old." Zhao Mu said truthfully.
"Eight? It was precisely because he was only eight years old that people were so eager to get rid of him. After all, the earlier he got rid of them, the less trouble he would face.”Zhao Sheng snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, if you plant a sapling and find a guard to suppress it from morning to night, what will happen after a period of time?”Zhao Mu said.
"Guild leader crooked." Zhao Xiaocheng said without hesitation.
"Great King, you are wise. The sapling was like this, and so were humans. As the saying went, the void was real, and the real was void. The void was real, and the way of change was endless. Although he was talented, he was only an eight-year-old child. How mature could his mind be? Some things could only be understood after experiencing them.”Zhao Mu voiced out his thoughts. He coughed and looked at Zhao Sheng proudly.
"As long as we make this eight-year-old child grow crooked, it will be fine. Giving him beautiful women to nurture his inner lust; Giving him jewelry would breed his greed; If he were to give his servant something nice to say, he would naturally not listen to other people's opinions in the future.
"Moreover, if we let him know how good our Zhao Country is, he won't target our Zhao Country and will even cede land to our Zhao Country. Then, he would become more and more stubborn and muddle-headed. Even if he ascended the throne, he was still a mediocre person. As for the swordsman beside him, can he stop our Zhao army?”
After Zhao Sheng heard this, he thought to himself,""I thought it was something, but it turned out to be a bad idea.”
Prince Xiaocheng was delighted. This was a good idea,""My beloved minister's plan has won the hearts of the people and won millions of soldiers.”
"You're simply raising a tiger to invite disaster.”Zhao Sheng finally couldn't control himself.
"It seems that Lord Pingyuan still can't forget about Shangdang.”Zhao Mu chuckled.
Zhao Sheng was furious. When he saw that Prince Xiaocheng's expression was not good, he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Men!" Zhao Xiaocheng shouted.
After a while, the eunuch in black came out and stood beside the door.
"Marquis Julu has rendered meritorious service by offering me a plan. He has worked hard and resolved my greatest worry.”Zhao Xiaocheng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Mu hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude.
"As for Lord Pingyuan, for your own selfish desires, I will deduct a month of your salary for your loyalty to the country and saving Zhao from danger.”Zhao Xiaocheng said with a blaming tone.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Zhao Sheng kowtowed.
