Chapter 282 Sudden News: Li Mu Imprisoned
Lord Changxin was a common man, and in the end, he could not resist the temptation.
Lady Mingzhu's allure and tenderness are in no way inferior to that of the stunning beauty Yan Lingji.
Adding a beauty like Hu would double the fun and excitement.
Both women are quite tall and voluptuous, with ample breasts and incredibly long, beautiful legs that are simply irresistible.
Fortunately, Lord Changxin's shoulders are broad enough that he can handle carrying two on each side.
When asked about his experience of spending the night in the palace, Ying Jing could only express it with one word...
Run!
For several days in a row, Lord Changxin lingered among the fragrant and soft beauties.
That's understandable; he really does have too much free time.
The situation in Xinzheng is very stable. Wang Jian has taken over the military affairs, Zhang Kai is cooperating well in the political affairs, and there is also the old fox Lü Buwei around. Ying Jing doesn't need to interfere in anything.
His only value in South Korea is probably that he has enough status to keep things under control and maintain stability.
Beauty has ruined me!
The face reflected in the bronze mirror had not changed at all, but Ying Jing still felt that he had become much more haggard.
However, today he can finally get rid of these days of wasting his life!
Xue Ji has already sent the latest news from the Zhao Kingdom.
Li Mu is in jail!
This news truly surprised Ying Jing.
In Ying Jing's mind, no matter how dissatisfied the King of Zhao was with Li Mu, at most he would be transferred back to Handan and relieved of his military command.
In reality, the conflict between King Zhao and Li Mu was far greater and more intense than Ying Jing had anticipated!
……
The former site of Zilanxuan.
After Zi Nu and the other women moved away, this place was taken over by Luo Wang and became a stronghold.
Ying Jing and Lü Buwei were playing chess and drinking tea at a table by the window.
"I must thank Prime Minister Lü for the wealth he has left for my Qin state over the years. Lord Chunping is a very useful pawn."
Ying Jing had to thank Lü Buwei.
When the Net was taken over from Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei, Zhao Ji did absolutely nothing, and the Six Sword Slaves were almost ruined.
Fortunately, Lü Buwei's side developed well, and he even left behind spies like Lord Chunping.
"I am no longer the prime minister."
Lu Buwei sipped his fragrant tea and shook his head.
"That Lord Chunping was merely a casual piece I placed years ago, yet he has been able to play such a significant role entirely thanks to Lord Changxin's strategy."
"Sacrificing a single idle move solved the problem of Li Mu, a formidable obstacle. I admire you."
Lu Buwei stroked his long beard, praising Ying Jing's plan.
Although he wasn't involved in this matter, he was the one who personally recruited Lord Chunping into the Luo Wang organization.
He deserves some credit!
Lü Buwei also felt honored at this moment!
Ying Jing shook his head and placed a black chess piece: "I did not expect that the King of Zhao would disregard everything and imprison Li Mu so easily."
Lü Buwei laughed loudly: "This is all thanks to Queen Zhao and Prime Minister Guo."
Li Mu was imprisoned for a variety of reasons.
Among them, Chang Hou contributed the most, followed by Guo Kai.
Perhaps knowing that he had aroused suspicion, Li Mu kept a low profile after being transferred back to Handan.
Unfortunately, the final letter left by Lord Chunping truly brought King Zhao's fear of Li Mu to its peak.
When Li Mu went to court, it was to form cliques; when he argued with Guo Kai, it was to suppress dissent.
By closing the door to visitors, they must be plotting some conspiracy!
Once prejudice takes hold in people's hearts, it is like a mountain that cannot be moved no matter how hard they try.
No matter how low-key Li Mu was, the King of Zhao still couldn't stand him and kept suppressing him, even implicating some officials who were close to Li Mu.
But Li Mu tolerated all of this, unwilling to escalate the conflict.
However, not everyone has Li Mu's broad perspective.
Both the Queen and the King of Zhao blamed Li Mu for Zhao Qian's death.
This woman may not have any great abilities, but she's definitely a master of palace intrigue and scheming.
After trying various methods but failing to conceive again, and with King Zhao's health deteriorating, Queen Chang had no choice but to give up on the idea.
"According to the investigation by the Luo Net, the Queen had consulted a doctor, and it was found that she had a health problem and was no longer able to bear children..."
People who have lost hope are the most insane, especially women like the Empress Dowager.
Three assassination attempts in one day, and the target was herself!
King Zhao was furious, but still couldn't find any clues.
This reminded King Zhao of the death of Lord Chunping.
With Guo Kai's instigation... he finally lost his last shred of reason.
"According to the investigation by Luo Wang, King Zhao has been coughing up blood frequently, is easily angered, and is absent-minded recently."
The parrot reported in a low voice.
Even wise rulers often become senile in their later years.
Moreover, King Zhao was not a wise ruler to begin with. When he lost his heir and was suffering from illness with little time left to live, it was only natural for him to go mad.
"King Zhao had no heir, and his health was deteriorating."
"It's impossible for the Empress to have any more children..."
Ying Jing couldn't help but sigh, everything was going too smoothly!
Before he could even begin planning the next step to further escalate the conflict, Chang Hou and Guo Kai had already taken care of everything for him.
Moreover, King Zhao's health was deteriorating, and he became even more senile.
It was as if fate itself desired to see the unification of the world soon, and thus chose to stand on the side of the Qin state.
"I can guess a bit about Your Majesty's intentions, but I'm afraid your patience is running out."
"Li Mu is in prison, but there is a possibility that he will be released. Lord Changxin probably needs to add fuel to the fire."
Lü Buwei had a clear understanding of the situation. After placing a white piece, he said...
Ying Jing shook his head and smiled faintly: "There's no need for us to add fuel to the fire. Just a little reminder and Prime Minister Guo will handle it."
Li Mu was an upright man who was already at odds with Guo Kai. Even if there was no benefit to him, he was happy to do such a thing as kicking someone when they were down, especially since he could also receive the gold he liked the most.
King Zhao, Queen Chancellor, and Guo Kai.
The most powerful people in Zhao all wanted Li Mu dead, so no matter how high his reputation or how many merits he had, he had no choice but to die!
"Prime Minister Guo...is indeed a remarkable person."
Lü Buwei's laughter was somewhat dry.
It was because he saw through Guo Kai's greed that he contacted him and devised a plan to bribe him with a large sum of money.
Lu Buwei didn't think much of this talented man who was also a prime minister, but he was quite envious of him.
Although Lü Buwei held power, he could still confidently say that he had never betrayed the interests of the Qin state over the years.
In fact, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the development of the Qin state!
But Guo Kai... didn't do many things that were beneficial to the State of Zhao.
As a result, even a virtuous minister like Lü Buwei can only retire now, while a greedy and treacherous minister like Guo Kai still holds a high position.
