Chapter 259 A blessing in disguise?
As soon as Yu Xin said this, everyone present was stunned for a moment and looked at Yu Xin with a surprised look.
What opportunity is this?
Xiangbang Zhao Sheng couldn't help but ask directly: "Why did Yu Qing say this?"
Yu Xin touched the beard under his jaw without any haste, and asked with a smile: "From Mr. Pingyuan, who will benefit the most if the assassin succeeds?"
This question first changed everyone's expressions, and he was so bold to scold Yu Xin, but everyone immediately began to think about Yu Xin's question.
After a while, Zhao Sheng said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Is what Yu Qing said referring to King Ji of Qin?"
In today's Zhao State, there is actually no force that wants Zhao Dan to fall immediately. Zhao Dan's children are not yet adults, and there is no prince who has been for twenty or forty years. Therefore, they are far from the desire and ability to use this method to rush Zhao Dan to step down.
So after thinking about it, the biggest beneficiary can undoubtedly be the enemy of Zhao.
Who is the biggest enemy of Zhao State now? Of course, it is King Ji of Qin!
"Not bad!" Yu Xin immediately expressed his affirmation of Zhao Sheng's answer: "It's King Ji of Qin!"
Zhao Sheng looked at Yu Xin in surprise and asked, "Does Yu Qing think that this assassin was sent by the 'hou'?"
"Hou" is not a specific person, but refers to an official position in command of the Qin spy agency, which can be understood as the Minister of Intelligence.
Spy sounds like a word that is despicable, shameless, treacherous, and deceitful.
But it must be said that spies can play a very important role in this era of hegemony.
"The Art of War: Yongjian Pian" points out: "Therefore, only those who are wise and wise, who can be wise and intelligent will achieve great success. This is the key to the army, which is what the three armies rely on and move."
Specifically, in this era, the most famous and outstanding person was undoubtedly the spy of Qin.
No matter what counter-espionage, death, or separation, in short, the reputation and ability of Qin spies in all aspects can be said to be far superior to the six Eastern countries.
From the Battle of Changping in history, the departure of Lian Po, the killing of Li Mu, the confusion of the ruler and ministers of Qi, there are all figures of Qin spies and detailed writers.
For example, Lou Chang, the former Censor of Zhao State who was killed not long ago and implicated the entire family, also discovered several people who had become a detailed work of the Qin State spies during the interrogation of the other members of the Lou family.
The true identity of the "hou" who commanded this Qin spy agency has never been known by any country except Qin.
Even the knowledge of Zhao Dan as a time traveler cannot find anything about "wait" in history books.
This "wait" is like a shadow hidden in the dark, making everyone who knows its existence feel uneasy, but they don't know where it is.
So after Zhao Sheng said this name, the people present looked a little ugly.
Yu Xin's expression changed after hearing Zhao Sheng's words, but then he laughed again.
"I can't agree with the words of King Pingyuan. How could the 'hou' have always been despicable, so how could he assassinate the king with such an open and upright method? With the view of Trust, the lord of the lord must be someone else."
After a pause, Yu Xin continued, "But no matter whether the lord of the assassination was King Ji of Qin or Hou, the king could say that this matter was done by Qin. I wonder what the king thought?"
After hearing this, Zhao Dan looked at Yu Xin's cunning expression and finally understood.
What Yu Xin wanted was not the fact, but the frame-up!
Yu Xin wanted to frame this matter on the head of King Ji of Qin and ruin the reputation of King Ji of Qin!
The assassination of a king was actually not uncommon in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
However, it is rare for the kings of one country to send killers to assassinate the kings of another country.
The most famous thing in history is "Jing Ke assassination of the King of Qin".
But don't forget that the assassinated Qin Wangzheng is still hungry in the Eagle Camp, and Jing Ke is probably not born yet.
So you don’t have to think about it and know that once this news spreads, it will definitely cause a great blow to the reputation of Qin.
Well, although the diplomatic reputation of Qin, especially King Ji, has never been very good, it is still beneficial to be able to take advantage of this matter to blame King Ji and Qin.
Maybe it will affect the attitude of Yan and Qi, the monarchs who were originally ally of Qin.
After all, everyone is a monarch. You said it’s nothing to kill a male or female on the battlefield, but secretly doing assassination... This is too much, right?
If you can kill King Zhao today, you can kill King Yan tomorrow.
So after Zhao Dan figured it out, he immediately made a decision without any hesitation: "Yu Qing's words are very good! Keep saying it."
Zhao Dan felt no guilt in his heart when he did this kind of dirty water.
This is a life-and-death battle for hegemony, and it is not a time to pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor.
Seeing that his frame-up action was approved by Zhao Dan, Yu Xin became even more excited, so he continued to talk: "In the opinion of the minister, it is better to pretend that the king was seriously injured and his life was in danger. Then he ordered the Hu Yiwei to vigorously promote this matter among the countries. In this way, Yan would definitely doubt Qin and would be reserved when assisting Qin. Even the Qin people would be disgusted with Qin Wang Ji's actions."
"Good!" Zhao Dan slapped his thigh hard, and the haze caused by the assassination in his heart was wiped out.
Yin, this move is really too Yin!
What's even more amazing is that as long as you use this trick, even if King Ji of Qin is really not the envoy, he will still be suspicious of jumping into the Yellow River.
Who said that Qin was the biggest enemy of Zhao at this time? If something happened to Zhao, everyone would definitely doubt Qin at the first time, and there was no doubt about it.
As for Zhao Dan himself, Zhao Dan was basically in the palace every day, and he basically didn't go out for anything big, so the fraudulent injury basically had no impact on Zhao Dan.
"Just do it like this!" Zhao Dan finally made a decision and looked at the ministers of Zhao who were present with bright eyes: "If you pursue the assassin, leave it to Si Kou and the Supervisor, and if you spread the rumors, leave it to Hu Yiwei!"
After a pause, Zhao Dan suddenly remembered something and said, "This is how the assassin matter will be handled first. Next, please ask the ministers and I to discuss the affairs of Yan State."
