Chapter 997 Others win over Li Mu(2/2)
The two of them came to the Imperial Garden and found a pavilion in the garden to sit down.
King Zhao smiled at Li Mu and said, "I heard that you have had some conflicts with Wu Xinjun recently?"
As a king, King Zhao was naturally able to ask such words without any scruples.
Li Mu's face changed slightly, and after a while, he said: "I didn't expect that this matter had been discovered by the king."
King Zhao laughed and said, "You are wrong. I am the king of Zhao. What else do I don't know about Zhao?
Actually, I think your thinking is too rigid!”
Li Mu was a little confused: "What does the king mean?"
King Zhao shook his head and smiled and said, "Wu Xinjun may have turned against you because of this or that, but think about it carefully, is it that Wu Xinjun who has the final say in our Zhao State?
There will always be someone who supports you, and as a minister, your most important responsibility is not something I need to tell you, right?"
Li Mu's body was shocked and he woke up as if he was a dream. He stood up and left the table, and knelt down towards King Zhao.
"Thank you for your advice. From now on, Li Mu will definitely be loyal to the king. I will die after death!"
King Zhao looked at this scene and finally couldn't help but feel proud and burst into laughter.
A few seconds later, King Zhao stood up and helped Li Mu up very kindly.
"Okay, you will be your own person from now on. Don't be so polite!"
Faced with King Zhao's behavior, Li Mu was naturally frightened and said he would definitely be loyal to the king.
At this point, a big stone in King Zhao's heart was completely implemented.
Finally conquered Li Mu, successfully made a gap in Zhao Kuo's sect, and successfully controlled a person who was completely loyal to King Zhao among the important officials.
This is a great victory that King Zhao has been in charge of power for so many years! King Zhao was in a good mood and smiled at Li Mu and said, "By the way, you should also have a confidant force that can be completely loyal to you and will not be controlled by Wu Xinjun, right?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "To be honest, I have indeed had some good subordinates in the army over the years.
But..." King Zhao said: "It's just what?"
Li Mu said: "I believe the king also knows that I came all the way from Chiyou's army, so most of these confidants came from Chiyou's army.
But Chi Youjun was a unit trained by Wu Xinjun. This..." King Zhao then understood and smiled with a very cheerful smile: "What do you think it is? This is a matter?
Let me tell you directly. You were a retainer of Wu Xinjun before. Isn’t I able to use you the same? Will I not use them because of their Chiyou army background?
You tell them that as long as they are as loyal to me as you, I can also promote them to use for me, without any problem!”
Li Mu then felt relieved and said respectfully to King Zhao: "Then please don't worry, the king. When I go back, I will come to them and talk to them about this matter.
It should be over in two or three days at most.”
King Zhao nodded and smiled, "That would be the best. Remember to draw up a list at that time and report all the people and positions that are suitable for.
Isn’t it just that the credit for the demise of South Korea has not been fully rewarded?
I will take this opportunity to arrange all your subordinates directly at that time!”
After hearing this, Li Mu naturally thanked him again.
The matter was finally finalized, and King Zhao was in a good mood. He chatted with Li Mu for another day, and kept Li Mu down for dinner, which allowed Li Mu to go home.
This news has also been noticed by many interested people.
The Zhou brothers sat in the study and looked at each other.
Zhou Shao sighed: "It seems that our guess has been confirmed, and he is indeed the king."
Zhou Shaoliang snorted with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect this king to have such a way."
Zhou Shaofen suddenly laughed again: "This is not necessarily a bad thing.
If the king has the means, he will inevitably have more conflicts with Wu Xinjun in the future. By that time, we will be the ones who can truly gain benefits by taking advantage of troubled waters, aren’t we?”
In addition to the Zhou brothers, the other person who received the news was of course Zhao Kuo.
After Su Li finished reporting to Zhao Kuo, he smiled and said, "Master, it seems that the general's acting skills are still very good. Both the Zhou brothers and the king were deceived by him."
Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Yes, so don't think that honest people will not lie. If a real honest person deceives people, it will be... a death sentence!"
