Chapter 340 Stumbling Block
When he reached the point of Zhao Wangyan, a king who was about to die of old age, he cared about only two things.
First, can your successor stabilize the situation; second, what is your reputation after death?
It would be fine if King Yan of Zhao had no ambitions and just wanted to be a foolish king. But he wanted to be a wise king and a generation of British kings in Zhao State.
Although the Zhao State has not restored the grand occasion of King Wuling of Zhao, it has also restored some vitality in the hands of King Yan. King Yan of Zhao feels that as King Zhao, he still has some achievements.
At this point, the incident of forcing the rebellion of Lian Po has become a stain on Zhao Wangyan's life.
What's more, he is old at this moment, and Zhao Qian is still young. If he forced Jiang Xi, Qin and Qi to rebel, they would definitely besiege Zhao.
Zhao Wangyan also saw that the chaos in Qin is imminent, and there must be a battle between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei, so he thought of taking this opportunity to suppress Jiang Yu.
Li Mu was relieved of power but not titles, and Li Mu was relieved. In the future, when Zhao Qian grew up, he would return Jiang Yu's power. Even if Jiang Yu held a grudge in his heart, he would be powerless to turn things around.
In fact, this kind of thing is normal. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi of Wei was too capable and no one in the court could check and balance, so he was suppressed again and again by the Cao group, and his official position was demoted and his power was removed again and again.
But there was Zhuge Liang in Shu Kingdom, so Sima Yi could not die.
Throughout history, there are actually many famous officials in all dynasties who were demoted and then reinstated.
Even Di Renjie was demoted to the magistrate of Pengze County by Wu Zetian?
Why?
Isn’t it because Di Renjie had too many former officials in the court that Wu Zetian was worried that Di Renjie would take the lead in resisting and could not sit firmly on the throne?
In the eyes of the king, this kind of thing is actually very normal.
I'm not asking for your head, I just cut off your power. If you still have any use, you can naturally restore your position in the future.
In the eyes of King Zhao, everything Jiang Xu has now is not rewarded by King Zhao, and it is natural to take it back now. Even when King Zhao thought about it, he was already very kind, at least he retained the title for Jiang Xu.
But in Jiang Yu's opinion, this kind of thing is a constant hatred for him.
Blocking people's way of wealth is like killing parents. What's more, King Zhao not only became Jiang Yu's way of wealth this time, but also had to take back the army that Jiang Yu had worked hard to build.
Handan, Hou Mansion, Yan Lingji's room.
Jiang Xi did not tell Yan Lingji about sending Han Xi into the Mo family, but instead talked about his desire to poison King Zhao and discussed countermeasures with Yan Lingji.
Yan Lingji was not afraid of Jiang Xu's attempt to murder the king, but instead felt excited.
If it weren't for the child, Yan Lingji might have wanted to take action himself.
She is not a brave person at all.
In the original work of "Nine Songs of Heaven", Yan Lingji even dared to enter the main hall of the Han Palace alone, threatening them to give them good looks in front of King Han, Ji Wuye, Han Fei and others.
Yan Lingji didn't even like poisoning. In her opinion, she directly sent Xuan Jian to assassinate King Zhao and settle the matter with one sword.
However, Jiang Xi was the marquis of Zhao State after all, and the murder of King Zhao must not be known to outsiders.
"Get poison!" Yan Lingji leaned on her chin, thought for a while, and said, "I don't have much experience in poisoning, but as long as someone in the palace cooperates, it is still easy to sneak into the Zhao Palace with Mo Ya's light skills."
Jiang Xi said helplessly: "You have also said that someone in the palace needs to cooperate with this matter, but this matter must not be known to outsiders."
"I wanted to use the help of the prostitute to attack King Zhao before. What does the wife think? As soon as King Zhao dies and Zhao Qian ascends the throne, she will be the queen mother of Zhao."
Yan Lingji stared at Jiang Xi with wide eyes and exclaimed: "How did the Marquis think about how Chang Ji helped the Marquis assassinate King Zhao? They are not..."
Jiang Yu chuckled and said disdainfully: "Do you think all the couples in the world are like you and me? If you have the chance to kill King Zhao, Chang Ji will never hesitate. Once a person like her has ambition, he will do whatever he wants."
Yan Lingji asked, "What are the marquis hesitating about?"
"Zhao Qian!"
Jiang Xi said lightly: "If I dare to kill a King of Zhao, I don't mind killing the second one. Her Prostitute also understands this truth. In order to protect her son, she will definitely attack me. Now that the fiefdom has not been obtained, it is difficult to have conflicts with Prostitute."
In fact, it is not impossible to let Mo Ya sneak into the palace to poison it.
But no one cooperated in the palace, so who knows what King Zhao usually eats?
Besides, when King Zhao usually eats, someone has to try the dishes in advance. After trying it out, King Zhao will eat it.
In this case, poisoning may sound simple, but it is actually extremely difficult.
"Um..." Yan Lingji frowned and thought for a while, and said after a while: "This matter still depends on Mo Ya's head. Mo Ya is good at light skills and is slim in shape. He can disguise himself as an eunuch in the palace and thus approach King Zhao."
Let Mo Ya disguise herself as an eunuch in the palace...
Jiang Yu's eyes lit up, which was a good idea.
Jiang Yu also had eyes and ears in the palace and knew very well about the situation in the palace. It was extremely easy to poison Mo Ya by disguising himself as an eunuch around King Zhao.
Jiang Qi has attracted many talented people and strangers in the world over the years, so naturally some people understand this technique.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xu asked, "What after the matter is done? Once Mo Ya evacuates, there will be a sudden lack of an eunuch by King Zhao, which will inevitably attract attention."
Yan Lingji pouted and thought for a while, saying, "A fire? No! Escape with the treasure? No! Um..."
Jiang Yu suddenly chuckled and said, "In fact, it's not that trouble. If King Zhao dies, there will inevitably be palace maids and eunuchs who are buried with you. At that time, the palace will be in panic, and it will not be uncommon for someone to escape from the palace."
In ancient times, people were buried with their lives. This tradition was abolished after Ying Zheng unified the world. Now, the kings and princes of various countries passed away, and it is a custom and tradition to let the people in the mansion be buried with them.
Yan Lingji smiled and said, "If this is the case, it will be normal for someone in the palace to disappear."
Jiang Yu slowly stood up, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said to himself: "King Zhao, King Zhao, although you and I have no grudges, this battle for power cannot be tolerated with mercy."
To be honest, King Zhao is really good at Jiang Yu.
Although Jiang Yu was able to enthrone the marquis through the prostitute, he was appointed as a marquis. However, Jiang Yu's contribution at that time was not enough to be enthroned as a marquis.
It was not until Jiang Yu conquered Rao An and built Rao An into the commercial center of the Three Kingdoms that he paid off the credit for his title.
In the eyes of the ancients, if the king wants his minister to die, the minister has to die.
But Jiang Yu is a modern person and has no such idea or concept in his mind.
In Jiang Yu's opinion, everything he gets now is what he deserves, it is earned in exchange for merit and taken through various means.
Although King Zhao had not attacked Jiang Yu, Li Mu had just guessed what he said before, but Jiang Yu had to be careful and even took action first.
