Wang Jian was lying on the bed, feeling that his body was getting weaker and weaker. He looked at Wang Bi and Wang Li beside the bed and sighed.
In his life, he has fought countless battles and killed people without calculation. What for? Aren’t they still children and grandchildren?
When I was young, my thoughts were all about making great achievements and becoming famous in history. But when I got older, especially after recuperating at home for half a year, I realized that family happiness is the ultimate happiness in the world.
I hope the Wang family can pass this test.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Wang Jian was delighted: "Is Zhao Gao here?"
Zhao Gao is Hu Hai's teacher, so naturally, he can also be regarded as Wang Li's party. This man is resourceful and cunning, and with him around, great things can be accomplished.
However, it was not Zhao Gao who came in, but the servant from before.
The servant bowed and said with a troubled expression: "Master Zhao refused to come and asked me to bring a message to the general."
Wang Jian's heart sank and he asked unhappily: "What did he say?"
The servant hesitated and said: "Master Zhao said that a general who has been fighting for his whole life is the god of war in this world. He is extremely upright and loyal. He has never seen any big storms, so why worry about such trivial matters? Wang Li is guilty and His Majesty is not happy. Just kill him with the sword. If the general is wise, he should personally draw the sword and kill Wang Li and give his head to your majesty. Then your majesty will be delighted and will no longer doubt the general."
Wang Ben was furious: "How dare Shu Zian be so rude."
Wang Jian sneered and waved his hand to let the servant go.
Wang Li was so angry that he was just worried about Wang Jian's condition and didn't dare to yell loudly.
Wang Jian breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Zhao Gao is quite interesting. Did he directly tout me as the current God of War? You two, tell me, am I the current God of War?"
Wang Li forced a smile and said: "My grandfather fought in all directions without losing a single defeat. Of course he is the God of War in this world?"
Wang Jian asked again: "Is Li Mu the current god of war?"
Wang Ben thought for a while and said more objectively: "This man is very good at using soldiers and deserves the title of God of War."
Wang Jian said: "Since we are both the gods of war in this world, why did he lose and I win?"
Wang Li said: "Of course his ability to command troops is not as good as that of his grandfather."
Wang Jian shook his head and said, "That's wrong. I didn't defeat him on the battlefield. In the end, I only got rid of this man through counter-intuitive tactics. What allowed me to win was not my combat power, but my cunning."
"Am I the God of War? Should the God of War be extremely upright and unparalleled in loyalty? Should the emperor kill his children and grandchildren as a sign of loyalty whenever the emperor is suspicious? That is an emotionless beast."
Wang Li nodded in agreement.
Wang Jian slowly got up from the bed and said calmly: "A person without emotions, a general who only knows how to fight, a person who can kill his own children and grandchildren in order to win the emperor's trust. Your Majesty will not feel safe, but will feel scared." . Such a person has no worries and is as hard as iron. Once he plots rebellion, how can he be restrained?"
Wang Li said: "From this point of view, Zhao Gao's plan is clearly to harm our Wang family."
Wang Jian laughed and said: "Zhao Gao is a smart man, how could he make such a stupid suggestion? He is deliberately making sarcastic remarks."
"My position has been getting higher and higher over the years, and I finally reached the rank of Grand Master. Everyone in the entire court respects me when they see me. I am also a little distracted. I forgot that this Zhao Gao was not just punished that year. Mr. Zhao is now the official of Zhongche Mansion. Now that we have something to ask for, it is indeed a bit rude to ask a servant to call him. Come, prepare the car. I want to go to Zhao Gao's Mansion in person. One trip.”
Wang Ben said anxiously: "But my father's body cannot withstand the bumps of the carriage."
Wang Jian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. I was so angry just now that I felt a suffocation in my chest. I couldn't breathe, and it was so painful. But after Zhao Gao solved it like this, I'm much better now. What kind of god of war, what kind of grand master?" That’s bullshit. So what if I’m insulted by Shuzi? When I use tricks to kill Li Mu and Wei Qi, will I care about the insults?”
Afterwards, Wang Jian got out of bed and got into the car, and his pace became much brisker.
…………
In Zhao Gao's mansion, Zhao Gao was drinking with his brother Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng said with some worry: "My brother may have offended Wang Jian with what he said before."
Zhao Gao laughed and said: "If Wang Jian is offended so easily, then he is a rat and is not worthy of being associated with me, Zhao Gao."
Zhao Cheng said helplessly: "Wang Jian has great military achievements, how come he has become a rat when he comes to my brother?"
Zhao Gao said calmly: "Those warriors are often very smart on the battlefield, but when they come to the court, they are clueless. Just like Li Xin and Wang Li. They are typical brainless."
"If His Majesty hadn't taken a liking to Li Xin, and if Wang Jian hadn't protected Wang Li, I would have killed these two people just by saying a few words. Do you think they are rats?"
Zhao Cheng nodded and asked again: "So, brother was testing Wang Jian before?"
Zhao Gao snorted: "It's a test and a reminder. Wang Jian was a little clever when he was young. It's a pity that he is used to being flattered by others. Once he gets up, he can't get off. As a result, he was beaten by Huai Guzi Humiliated, he fell from his height."
"Haha, who hasn't had a humble moment? He, Wang Jian, didn't become a grand master from the beginning. If he always puts on airs and ends up doing something stupid for the sake of his pitiful face, I don't know what stupid things he will do. Maybe it's true. I will kill Wang Li to show my loyalty and to live up to my reputation as a loyal man. Then... I will be laughed at by the world."
Having said this, Zhao Gao laughed.
At this time, a servant ran over quickly and said, "Sir, Wang Jian wants to see you."
When Zhao Gao heard this, he immediately became very energetic, stood up and said, "Please come quickly."
Wang Jian got out of the car tremblingly. Zhao Gao greeted him and held Wang Jian's arm.
Wang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Master Zhao's clever plan is to ask Wang Jian to be Yi Ya."
Zhao Gao smiled and said: "If the general was really a villain who cooks rice and serves rice, he would not be here today. There were many conflicts in our words before, so please forgive me, general."
Wang Jian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, good medicine tastes bitter."
While talking, the two people had already sat down.
Wang Jian didn't talk nonsense and said straightforwardly: "Now that the Wang family is in trouble, what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty is suspicious, and the Wang family has great achievements. For the current plan, the only way is to liberate the military power. Your Majesty remembers the old relationship and will not target the Wang family again. I have followed your Majesty for many years and understand his temperament. This point I can guarantee that the general doesn’t have to worry.”
Wang Jian nodded: "I have asked Wang Li and Wang Ben to resign."
Zhao Gao smiled and said: "In this case, the Wang family has no worries, why does the general need to come to see me again? Your Majesty is so wise that he will not destroy the Wang family just for the sake of saying that he will destroy Qin."
Wang Jian said: "I'm worried about Mr. Hu Hai..."
Zhao Gao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. How can I not be close to His Majesty's own blood? When I first heard that rumor, I might have doubts, but as time goes by, it will be fine. During this time, I will ask the young master to restrain himself. , find a way to please His Majesty."
Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Huai Guzi will definitely be punished. Wang Li has tried to harm him several times, and he will definitely take revenge. By then, although the Wang family will be safe, Wang Li may not be able to fight against Huai Guzi. I I don’t want people with white hair to send people with black hair.”
Zhao Gao whispered: "General, want to get rid of Huaiguzi?"
Wang Jian nodded.
Zhao Gao was silent for a while and said: "Huaiguzi can refine elixirs and has won your majesty's trust. Killing Huaiguzi is like cutting off your majesty's path to immortality. In your anger, all nine tribes will be destroyed."
Wang Jian said: "Master Zhao really believes that there is an elixir of longevity? Do you really believe that someone like Huai Guzi can refine it?"
Zhao Gao said: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. But Your Majesty believes it."
Wang Jian frowned: "Are we just going to sit back and wait for Huaiguzi to take revenge on Wang Li? If Wang Li is accidentally framed by him, he will regret it for the rest of his life."
Zhao Gao said with a smile: "The old general was so wise when he was fighting in all directions. Why is he helpless now? Could it be that it concerns Wang Li? If he cares about it, it will lead to chaos?"
Wang Jian pondered for a while and said, "What do you mean, counterintuitive tactics?"
Zhao Gao said in a low voice: "General, you should not only be a sword, but also a person who holds the sword. Nowadays, there are many people in the court who are dissatisfied with Huaiguzi. Why don't you, general, provoke them and let them charge at the front?"
"For example, Mr. Fusu has always regarded the world as his own responsibility, and he hates the foreign scholars and sorcerers. With him in front, if he succeeds, Huaiguzi will die. If he fails, Fusu will be displeased by His Majesty and lose the chance to compete for the throne. Then Hu Hai will inherit the throne. Possibly, greatly increased.”
Wang Jian stared at Zhao Gao for a long time, and then gave a thumbs up with mixed emotions: "I admire you."
