The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 162: God of War Guo argues about the Qin Dynasty!
Mi Yan also said goodbye with a smile: "Sister, I'll go pack up first, and come back to accompany you after everything is arranged properly."

Now it was Mi Yun who forced a smile: "That's fine, go ahead, sister."

Mi Yan followed the eunuch. Mi Yun looked at Mi Yan's back and felt bitter.

"Oh no, I shouldn't have let this little bitch come, not today, the timing is so bad."

"Hey! What a coincidence that the king is here today."

"No, we must find a way to get rid of this little bitch and let her return home as soon as possible!"

"There are not many women in the palace now. If this little bitch gets the chance, I will be so angry!"

Not to mention that Mi Yun was angry and wanted to find a way to drive Mi Yan away, Mi Yan was in a happy mood anyway.

If Mi Yun is unhappy, then of course I will be very happy.

What makes me even happier is that I met the king today. How could there be a man like the king in the world?

The king understands me.

Scarlet smoke surrounds the crape myrtle.

Ziwei, Ziwei, isn’t it the king?

Could it be that the king,

Sister Mi Yun, I’m sorry!
Don’t blame my sister, you and the king are really destined to be together!
As for Yan Dan and Yin Yang family mission.

Humph, with the King of Qin around, none of the Yin-Yang School matters anymore.

I, Feiyan, am also a noble lady of the Chu State. If Your Majesty can propose marriage to me once, you can do it twice!
I am no worse than you, Mi Yun!

I need to write a letter to my father as soon as possible so that this matter can be planned.

Winning first is not winning, the one who laughs last is the winner.

You, Mi Yun, are not the queen either, but I, Mi Yan, am not without hope.

For Ying Zheng, it was too easy to get a woman.

For the most powerful man in the world, getting a woman is a matter of whether he wants to or not, not whether he can or not.

It is so easy to win a woman's heart. Just give her a smile and a hint, and she will win herself over.

Oh, the King of Qin speaks the law of heaven, his words are golden, and at his command, millions of people move.

How can you not win the heart of a woman by speaking softly to her?

Pan Lu, Deng Xiaoxian and Ying Zheng had all the first three most important things, not to mention that how could the five things combined compare to the power that was above the rest of the world?

People in the world admire the strong, and in such troubled times, women admire the strong even more. Who in the world is stronger than me?

Just a woman.

If she wasn't Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School, a noblewoman of the State of Chu, or the wife of Yan Dan in another timeline, it would have been a blessing in disguise for eight lifetimes if you wanted me to say a few nice words to her.

During this period, Yan Dan was treated with great courtesy in Qin, and Ying Zheng was also trying to accumulate some reputation for him.

Everything that happens here will be reported to the Yan court, and someone will tell King Xi of Yan that Yan Dan's prestige is rising.

There is no need to instigate others, King Xi of Yan will do what Ying Zheng wants to happen on his own.

That's the kind of person he is.

And Guo Kai also arrived in Daqin.

What he saw and heard in Daqin along the way, especially when he saw the city of Xianyang, made him feel deeply worried.

Everyone says that the Qin Dynasty is powerful, and it is indeed powerful.

I'm afraid that the State of Zhao will be destroyed by the State of Qin sooner or later.

If the State of Zhao was destroyed, there would be nothing to sell.

No!

Absolutely not!

Guo Kai made up his mind that he must sell more before the State of Zhao was destroyed!

We must seize the time, otherwise the opportunity will be gone.

This time we must get closer to the State of Qin. I am here with big business, so there will definitely be no problem.

Thinking of this, Guo Kai couldn't help but feel proud.

By the time Zhao was almost sold out, he would be old and too lazy to bother with anything else. Qi was rich, had beautiful scenery, and a gentle atmosphere, making it the most suitable place for retirement.

With your own wealth, you can buy a piece of land and live well in your old age.

Even if he didn't go to Qi, with his connections in Qin, he could live a good life in Qin after Zhao was destroyed.

Guo Kai didn't understand one thing.

That is, he was not a vassal of Qin, everything was just a transaction.

But trading is emotionless.

A person who is greedy for money will not talk about feelings, everything goes as he wishes.

Daqin is a suitable buyer and is only willing to treat all this as a transaction.

I have to say that Guo Kai was a good actor. When he arrived at the Qin court, he was upright and fearless, and he argued with reason and had a fierce quarrel with a group of Qin ministers.

When Ying Zheng saw Guo Kai, he praised his good looks and sighed that only people like him could be easily believed.

Guo Kai once again proved that judging people by their appearance is absolutely not advisable.

Guo Kai entered the Zhangtai Palace with a solemn expression, and saluted Ying Zheng meticulously: "Guo Kai, the foreign minister, pays homage to the King of Qin. May the King of Qin be blessed with good health and good health."

"Flat body."

"I wonder why Mr. Guo came to Qin this time?"

Guo Kai had a solemn expression and said, "I am here to promote the friendship between Qin and Zhao."

Ying Zheng asked calmly: "Oh? Qin and Zhao haven't gone to war yet, right?"

Guo Kai smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on the border of Zhao State, all of them are ready to go, watching with eager eyes, even though the war has not started, it is as if it has started."

Seeing this, Ying Zheng laughed loudly, his voice shaking the hall: "That's right, I am sending a hundred thousand troops to avenge Zhao's alliance with Qin a few years ago. This is natural and right, why not?"

"Are you going to Qin to be a lobbyist, Mr. Guo? Then don't speak! I can tell you that I have made up my mind. Besides, the army is ready. How can I withdraw my troops and not fight just because of your lobbying?"

Guo Kai said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say."

Ying Zheng sneered: "Well, I always speak the truth, so what if I listen to you? Just tell me what you have to say."

Guo Kai bowed and said, "I have always heard that Your Majesty is born holy and kind-hearted. He is a ruler favored by heaven. How can a ruler favored by heaven not take the people of the world as his priority? How can he raise an unjust army if he takes the people of the world as his priority?"

"In the past, the nations were involved in the disputes and could not extricate themselves. How could our Zhao State, located in the Central Plains, escape from the conflict?"

"But the attack on Qin was not initiated by Zhao. It was a helpless move. Moreover, the war has been stopped. When the king first ascended the throne, he had already negotiated peace. Now starting a war again for no reason, is this the act of a benevolent king? What's the reason?"

Lu Buwei stood up and angrily refuted: "Nonsense."

"In a time of great contention, it is difficult to discern the origins of disputes. Moreover, your State of Zhao has always been eyeing Great Qin covetously. When the alliance was formed, it was clearly your State of Zhao that worked the hardest. Do you still dare to say that you were coerced?"

"Your Zhao State is a country with ten thousand chariots. If you don't want to, who can force you? Besides, apart from Wei State, you will be the last to withdraw your troops!"

"As for my king, he is naturally a king favored by heaven, and he is here to save the people of the world. In this world, only our Great Qin has fair laws and clean governance. It is a land of kingly rule. Taking over your Zhao city is just a pain in the ass."

"Only by living in the Great Qin can the common people live and work in peace and contentment, without suffering from the dangers of war."

"Your Majesty's move is to save the people of the world, and the people understand it." Guo Kai laughed and said, "Prime Minister Lu is wrong."

"Let's not talk about the fact that a big country can easily annex a small country. But just now, Prime Minister Lu also said that our Zhao State is also a country with tens of thousands of chariots and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. How can it be an ordinary small country?"

"If the two countries go to war, at most both sides will suffer heavy casualties. How can this benefit the people?"

Zhong Cang stood up, laughed loudly, and replied: "Ridiculous!"

"How can Zhao be a match for Qin? Your country is small in land and few in people. Although you have a few soldiers, they are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

"As long as the Qin Dynasty attacks with all its might, it will be so overwhelming that there will be no time for war to cause disaster."

"Besides, the states are at war. Without the Qin, the people of Zhao will not have peace. It is better to be under the rule of the Qin to maintain peace. The Qin is the strongest. Who dares to attack it?"

Guo Kai sneered, "Left Prime Minister, you are wrong. Three years ago, someone was blocked at Hangu Pass and dared not go out."

As soon as Guo Kai said this, there was an uproar in the court, the noise was deafening, and all the civil and military officials requested that he be killed.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and there was silence. Ying Zheng sneered, "Are you disrespecting the Qin Empire with these words, Mr. Guo? If so, why bother to say more?"

"Two countries at war do not kill envoys. Guo Qing, go back. The war has begun!"

Guo Kai bowed calmly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have absolutely no such intention."

"I just want to remind the king and the officials in the court that the enemy of Qin is not Zhao, but Wei."

"Three years ago, the coalition attacked Qin, and it was also led by Wei. Wei was once the hegemon of the world, and its power is no less than it was back then."

"Even though Zhao is not as good as Qin, it will never be afraid of fighting."

"If Qin wants to defeat Zhao, it will have to pay a huge price. With two fishermen fighting, who will benefit?"

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"

Cai Ze stood up and smiled slightly, "Your Excellency, your words are too serious. My Great Qin has no intention of destroying the State of Zhao. We just want to avenge our previous grudge. As long as it is not a war that will destroy the country, this fisherman will not gain anything!"

"Besides, who exactly is the Wei State targeting is still a question."

"Some time ago, my Great Qin had already negotiated a peace and marriage alliance with the Wei Kingdom. We are friendly countries. How could we easily start a war again?"

"It seems that your State of Zhao has been at war with the State of Wei for the past two years, right?"

"Haha, Lian Po has actually joined the Kingdom of Wei. Now your Kingdom of Zhao is in danger."

"My Great Qin is about to join forces with Wei to attack Zhao!"

Guo Kai suddenly laughed out loud: "I was wondering what the Right Prime Minister had to say, but he came up with such a short-sighted and unwise plan!"

"Everyone knows that raising a tiger is a disaster. The State of Wei is a ferocious and hungry tiger, but it is located in the Central Plains, surrounded by wars on all sides, so this tiger is firmly trapped."

"If we destroy Zhao, or if Zhao is seriously injured and Wei seizes its important horse breeding grounds, the hungry tiger will be full and strong. I wonder if Qin will be able to sleep well!"

"Is the land of Daqin as fertile and rich as the Central Plains?"

"The power of each side has been growing and declining over the years, and I don't know who is making wedding clothes for!"

Cai Ze was speechless and sat down silently.

Ying Zheng suddenly laughed out loud: "Mr. Guo is truly a talented person. I wonder if you would like to serve as an official in Qin. I will definitely treat you well."

Guo Kai bowed and said, "I thank the King of Qin for his kindness, but a loyal minister should not serve two masters. My king has treated me with great kindness, and I will serve him till death. The King of Qin is so kind to me that I cannot accept it."

Ying Zheng nodded and praised with emotion: "Mr. Guo is truly a great man. Zhao is lucky to have you."

Guo Kai said solemnly: "I am only a low-ranking official in Zhao State. Zhao State is full of brave generals and wise ministers. If Your Majesty insists on attacking Zhao State, it will not be a blessing for both countries. I ask Your Majesty to consider the people of both countries first and think carefully."

Ying Zheng sighed: "What Mr. Guo said makes some sense, but military affairs are not a joke. The army is ready to go, how can we not fight easily?"

Guo Kai asked solemnly: "I have a question for you. Why did the king attack Zhao?"

Lu Buwei sneered and said, "Of course it is to save the people of the world, build a land of kingly rule, and by the way, avenge the coalition's attack on Qin!"

Guo Kai laughed: "If that's the case, why do we have to start a war?"

"My king has never been warlike and would rather be on good terms with Qin. Qin and Zhao have been at war for many years. It is better to resolve the feud than to create it. My king intends to eliminate the hatred between the two countries."

"This is also the purpose of sending foreign ministers to Qin. To show his sincerity, my king is willing to form an alliance with Qin through marriage!"

"The two families have become one, completely eradicating the years of chaos and hatred between the two countries."

Wei Zhuang jumped out and said angrily: "Nonsense, the royal families of Qin and Zhao have the same surname and clan name, how can they marry? Isn't that against ethics? How will the world discuss it? Isn't that damaging the royal family's dignity? What are you thinking, you villain?"

Guo Kai quickly explained: "Don't worry, sir. Just listen to what I have to say."

"As the saying goes: Ancestors are not worth following, and people's words are not worth caring about. Although the royal families of Qin and Zhao have the same surname, that was only decided a thousand years ago. It's just that the royal bloodline is noble and has lasted for a thousand years, so it is natural that it will last for a long time and prosper. However, over the past thousand years, the two families have already had different bloodlines."

"Now my king has taken the initiative to propose a royal marriage in order to end the war between Qin and Zhao and eliminate the deep hatred of Qin and Zhao over the years. This shows his sincerity. My king is not worried about such things and is willing to damage the reputation of the royal family. Doesn't the King of Qin, the king of heaven, want to make a little sacrifice for the millions of people of Qin and Zhao?"

Wei Zhuang then angrily said: "Shut up, your king is just afraid of fighting, he has done such a shameless thing, and he dares to talk nonsense about the people of the world!"

"Don't think that Great Qin doesn't know. The Xiongnu in the north have risen up in groups. The war in the northern border of your Zhao State is about to break out!"

"The State of Zhao is now surrounded by enemies on all sides and is in imminent danger. It is just afraid of fighting!"

Guo Kai shouted: "Your Excellency is wrong! Has the State of Zhao ever been afraid of fighting?"

"As for the Xiongnu, they are just wild beasts. How can they pose any threat to Zhao? Can those Qiang people pose a threat to Qin?"

"Besides, when the seven nations are fighting among themselves, would anyone take advantage of the barbarians and collude with them to take advantage of their misfortune?"

"My king really wants peace and friendship between the two families!"

"And my king has prepared generous gifts for this marriage!"

"My king heard that Chu had sent Suihou's pearl as a dowry to Qin. Everyone knows about the Suizhu and Hebi. My king is willing to give the Hebi and five cities as a gift to eliminate the deep hatred between the two countries and forge an everlasting friendship between the two countries!"

"Isn't this sincerity enough?!"

Wei Zhuang was about to speak again, but Ying Zheng waved his hand to stop him, and Wei Zhuang retreated angrily.

Ying Zheng sighed: "When I was young, I was a hostage in Zhao State. I know the disputes and hatreds between the two countries. Whenever I think of this, I feel sad."

“How come the two countries share the same roots?”

"It's not just Qin and Zhao. When I was young, I saw the suffering of war. The four seas were in turmoil, and the people of the world were living in dire straits. Whenever I think of the suffering of the people, I feel heartbroken."

"When I was young, I set a great ambition to put down the war and bring peace to the world."

"Now that the King of Zhao is willing to risk the wrath of the world for the sake of Zhao, why can't I do the same for the sake of Qin, Zhao, and the people of the world?"

"Let's just leave it at that."

"But I have a request. This marriage requires the noble lady of Zhao to marry into the Qin State."

Guo Kai was overjoyed and shouted, "Thank you, King Qin! You are truly a benevolent monarch."

Ying Zheng nodded: "For the sake of friendship between our two countries, how can I not do it?"

"Mr. Guo, you are unparalleled in talent and virtue, and you are truly a national hero. I ask you again, are you willing to go to Qin? If Mr. Guo is willing to go to Qin to serve as an official, I will pay you homage as a minister."

Guo Kai's face was solemn, and he bowed meticulously: "I thank the king for his esteem, but the king has shown me great kindness, which is as heavy as a mountain. I am loyal to the king, so how can I betray the king's kindness just for the sake of a high position and a generous salary? If I do this, how can I be a human being?"

Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Since this is the case, I have no chance. That's all."

"Prime Minister Lu, Minister Wei, the specific matters will be discussed in detail with Minister Guo. Remember, you must not neglect Minister Guo."

"The minister obeys the order."
