The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 546 This matter still depends on Lord Guo!

When this is mentioned, Yan Dan starts to throw things.

The Yuchang Sword was originally in the Zhao State's treasury, but was later sent to the Qin Palace as a dowry for the current Queen of Qin.

King Zhao Daoxiang, are you sick? Your sister is getting married, what's the meaning of giving her this sword? Is this thing suitable as a dowry?

If you had kept it, it would still be in the hands of your Zhao royal family. What could you not do with it?
But Yan Dan had no choice but to find a way to get the sword.

This matter still depends on Zhao State's loyal minister, Lord Guo Kai.

Yan Dan personally and secretly contacted Guo Kai, a loyal minister of Zhao State, to plot something big.

Fortunately, Guo Kai has not gone to Xianyang yet and is still in Handan. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to discuss things in Xianyang.

Alas, why aren't such loyal and righteous men from our Yan State?
For the sake of the monarch and the bloodline of the previous kings, you have to endure humiliation and serve the enemy, and try your best to help the other party digest your own country. What a painful thing it is!

But Guo Kai still endured it, all for the sake of his monarch.

Such people are devoted to their country and their king, and will seize any opportunity to restore their country.

Yan Dan's obsession with the Yuchang Sword also had another purpose, which was to force the people of Zhao to not be able to just sit back and do nothing, and to drag the people of Zhao into facing the wrath of Qin together.

The queen of Qin was a newly appointed person from Zhao. In addition, there was a dispute over the throne. If the king of Qin died, it would inevitably aggravate the division in the Qin court.

Even if it fails, there is a high probability that it will cause an uproar in the Qin court and cause severe turmoil. If the King of Qin retaliates against the Zhao people, it will inevitably slow down the pace of Qin.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Yan Dan went to Handan in person and secretly met Guo Kai. After Guo Kai returned home late at night after a busy day, he suddenly saw someone in the bedroom. He was shocked and thought that what he had done was exposed and someone was coming to kill him.

Guo Kai himself knew that once his deeds were exposed, there would definitely be people from Zhao who wanted to kill him.

But Guo Kai is worthy of being Guo Kai, he never panics when faced with difficulties.

Neither humble nor overbearing, he bowed and said calmly to the visitor: "It is rude to come here without an invitation."

Seeing that Guo Kai remained calm and composed in the face of difficulties and had an extraordinary demeanor, Yan Dan admired in his heart that there was no false reputation and that he was truly worthy of being called a peerless national hero by everyone.

He bowed hurriedly and said humbly, "I am Yan Dan, the Crown Prince of Yan State, and I am here to meet Mr. Guo Kai."

"I have an important matter to visit you so late at night. It must not be known to outsiders. I am very sorry for being rude. Please forgive me, sir."

Guo Kai was startled and looked at the man carefully. The man was tall, handsome, dignified, and had a noble temperament. He was definitely not an ordinary person, so what he said must be true.

But I felt even more puzzled.

Yan Dan, the crown prince of Yan, had heard of him. He was quite virtuous, but Yan and Zhao were mortal enemies, and now Zhao had been swallowed up by Qin. What could the crown prince of Yan want from him? They had never interacted before.

What's even more strange is that he came secretly late at night.

However, it is most likely related to the Qin State.

Guo Kai's mind raced, but he remained calm and bowed, "I didn't know it was the Crown Prince of Yan who was visiting. I'm sorry for my poor hospitality. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

After Guo Kai finished speaking, he asked Yan Dan to sit down, personally brought tea to Yan Dan, and then asked, "I wonder what important matter has the Crown Prince come to visit you so late at night?"

Yan Dan took a sip of tea, sighed deeply, and said, "I wonder what you think of the Qin State today?"

Guo Kai was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I am already a minister of the Qin State, what else can I say?"

Since meeting Guo Kai, Yan Dan has been carefully watching Guo Kai's every move and every subtle expression. After all, what he is going to talk about is a matter of life and death, so he dare not be careless. No matter how reliable the man in front of him is, he can't speak out easily now because the situation is uncertain.

Seeing Guo Kai say this with a very melancholy expression and sadness in his eyes, he felt relieved a little.

Guo Kai was indeed a famous loyal minister of the State of Zhao, and he still missed his old country.

Yan Dan said: "Your name as a patriot is well known to everyone. Your loyalty to the State of Zhao is even more well known. I have always admired you for many years. I would like to ask you, if there is an opportunity to restore the country, would you be willing to give it a try?"

Guo Kai's eyes were shocked, his eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Finally, he sighed and said, "The Qin State is powerful. Now the royal family can enjoy wealth and honor. The princess has become the queen of the King of Qin. This is the best result."

"As a subject, I am incompetent and have made no mistakes. I feel extremely ashamed for failing the care and responsibility of the late king. Now I can only do my best to assist the State of Qin, protect the bloodline of the late king, and ensure that the ancestral sacrifices continue."

After hearing what Guo Kai said, Yan Dan felt more at ease. If he agreed lightly to such a life-threatening matter, he would be considered as someone who could not be trusted.

Judging from his expression just now, it was obvious that he was just worried about his mistress and the monarch.

This person is reliable!
Yan Dan continued, "Sir, please don't say that. The decline of Zhao is not your fault. It is because of the strength of Qin. The King of Qin has no regard for the lives of the people and has taken advantage of the drought to attack without moral integrity. It is not the fault of the war."

"Your talent is unparalleled, and everyone knows it. You have devoted your life and energy to the State of Zhao, and have made countless contributions. This is the trend of the times, and it cannot be reversed by human power."

"Dan came to visit me late at night this time because he has something important to discuss. If this is accomplished, the State of Zhao will be able to recover and survive in an instant!"

Guo Kai's eyes widened and he instantly became extremely solemn. He hurriedly stood up and looked around. After confirming that no one was around, he quickly walked to Yan Dan and said sternly, "I am a minister of the Qin State and I must be loyal to the emperor. What do you mean by saying this?!"

"Your Highness, you came here uninvited late at night, which is already wrong. What you said today is even more wrong. Your Highness, please leave now, and I can pretend that nothing happened. If Your Highness continues to talk nonsense, I will report it to the King of Qin. By then, Your Highness will probably bring great disaster to the State of Yan, and it will be too late to regret it then!"

Yan Dan looked solemn, stood up and bowed, and said sincerely: "Sir, I came here in person this time, doesn't it reflect my sincerity? I regard you as a loyal patriot of Zhao State, and I want to discuss major plans with you. Why do you say this? Don't you really know why I came here?"

Guo Kai said sternly: "Your Highness, do you know what you are doing? If you anger Qin, do you know what will happen to Yan?" Yan Dan replied decisively: "Dan knows!"

"It is precisely because Dan knows this that he is willing to take a huge risk to come and discuss important matters with you, sir!"

"Dan knew that if he continued to wait like this, Yan would surely be destroyed by Qin."

"Dan made up his mind precisely because he had the Yan State and his ancestors in his heart. He was determined to do this for the sake of his ancestors' foundation."

"Sir, don't you have the State of Zhao in your heart? Don't you have the former king in your heart?"

By now, Guo Kai had completely determined why Yan Dan came here. He was overjoyed. He felt that he had made another contribution!
Guo Kai was shocked, his eyes filled with tears: "First I am filial to King Cheng, then I mourn the kindness of King Xiang. Kai, I will never forget it."

After saying that, Guo Kai wiped his eyes, calmed his mind, and bowed: "Your Highness, please forgive me. The situation is complicated now. For the Queen Mother and the King, I dare not be careless. Please don't blame me for my impoliteness just now."

Yan Dan returned the greeting and said, "Sir, you are too polite. You did the right thing. Now the Zhao family is under the control of the King of Qin. You have to endure humiliation and be careful. I understand the hardship. I admire you very much."

Guo Kai smiled bitterly, his eyes already filled with tears. "Your Highness, I am so ashamed to hear you say that. I am ashamed of the trust placed in me by the late kings. If it were not for the Queen Mother and the King, I would have gone to see the late kings long ago. I am now a lost dog, a minister of a fallen country, and I have no face to live in this world!"

Yan Dan said hurriedly: "Sir, you are loyal and righteous, and you are faithful and faithful. Heaven will not let you down. Sir, you have endured humiliation and now your chance has come."

Guo Kai wiped his eyes again, asked Yan Dan to sit down, and asked respectfully: "Where does the opportunity come from? Please give me some advice, Your Highness."

Yan Dan bowed and said, "Sir, you should know that Qin swallowed Zhao just to take advantage of its misfortune. In fact, Qin does not have the strength to do so. Although Zhao is unable to resist Qin alone, if Qin is determined to destroy Zhao, other countries will not sit idly by. It is purely Qin's good luck that it swallowed Zhao."

"Even if it swallowed it, it would be just like a giant boa constrictor swallowing a stag. It would be difficult to digest it in a short time."

"I believe that countless Zhao people still miss their homeland. As long as Qin is in chaos and has no time to care about other things, Lord Guo can help King Zhao seize the opportunity to start a rebellion and restore his country, and it will surely succeed in one fell swoop."

Guo Kai asked hurriedly: "How can we cause chaos in Qin?"

Yan Dan looked confident and said, "Dan has a brother who is the world's top swordsman. He has practiced the art of killing and is willing to die for the people of the world. He is willing to assassinate the king, the King of Qin!"

"If the King of Qin dies, his sons and heirs will all be young. The Qin court is full of complicated factions, and there will inevitably be endless internal strife and chaos!"

Guo Kai frowned and said, "I agree with everything your Highness said."

"But the only problem is how to actually assassinate the King of Qin? If this fails, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I am not doubting the ability of your subordinates, but the power of one person is limited. The King of Qin often lives in the deep palace. There are countless masters and strange people in Xianyang Palace. The only difficulty is how to enter Xianyang Palace. Besides, although I am not good at martial arts, I have heard that the King of Qin's cultivation is unfathomable. Please forgive me for speaking frankly, the success of this plan is really slim."

Yan Dan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, sir, Dan has his own arrangements."

"The King of Qin always boasts of his benevolence, but he is the most hypocritical. He always pretends to be magnanimous before he shows his claws."

"Qin and Yan have always been on good terms. If we, Great Yan, offer generous gifts in the name of celebration, the King of Qin will surely be delighted. The King of Qin always pretends to be courteous and humble. As long as our Great Yan envoy offers gifts in person, he will surely allow our Great Yan envoy to approach. That will be the best opportunity!"

Guo Kai nodded slowly.

He sighed and said, "As the saying goes, when two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys. Envoys from other countries, meeting the king, may be foreign ministers, but the king is still the king after all. As an envoy, stabbing the king and killing him, this, ah, this is not what a gentleman does!"

Yan Dan's face was instantly filled with sadness, and he sobbed, "Although I am not talented, I know what loyalty and trust are. Although the King of Qin has evil intentions, I have known him since childhood and we are friends. If it were not for the last resort, I would rather die than do this. If it were just for me, I would never do such an unfaithful and unjust thing even if I had to die nine times."

"But Dan is not doing this for his own selfish reasons. He is doing this for the sake of the country of Dayan, the foundation of our ancestors, the survival of other countries, and the prosperity and decline of the people of the world."

"Dan Quanquan's patriotism is the same as sir's."

"For this, Dan is willing to bear the bad name of being unfaithful and unjust, and is willing to perish forever."

Guo Kai sighed continuously and bowed: "Your Highness's heart, I understand and admire it very much!"

"Forget it. Qin is a powerful country. There is no other way except this. Let me accompany Your Highness to handle this matter. Your Highness is so patriotic that he is willing to sacrifice himself. How can you bear this bad reputation alone?!"

Yan Dan looked extremely sad and sobbed, "Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Dan. I am very grateful."

Guo Kai said solemnly: "Your Highness's plan is indeed comprehensive and has a chance of success. I just don't know what Your Highness needs me to do. I will do my best."

Yan Dan wiped away his tears and said, "Sir, you have great talent and virtue, and great justice. I admire you."

"Although our Yan and Zhao families have been fighting for many years, we have reached a consensus today. We are working together to fight against the Qin State and protect our country."

"Yan is weak and only wants to protect itself. It has no intention or power to dominate the world."

"Dan is here to promote friendship between Yan and Zhao!"

"As the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Now is the best opportunity."

"Our Yan State is willing to take the risk to assassinate the King of Qin. However, even if Qin is in chaos, Qin will certainly retaliate against Yan State, and Yan State alone will never be able to resist."

"My Yan State is willing to take advantage of the chaos and send people to Xianyang to rescue the Queen Mother and King Zhao and help Zhao restore its country. I only ask that after Zhao restores its country, the two countries will unite to fight against Qin. I will soon go to Wei and Chu to discuss the future alliance to resist Qin. If the four countries join forces to fight against the chaotic Qin, it will be easy to overcome the crisis."

"After overcoming the crisis, Dan also hopes that Yan and Zhao will make peace and stop fighting, so as to avoid giving other countries the opportunity to take advantage of the crisis!"

"Yan and Zhao are both northern countries, so they can naturally be one family. Even if we need to strengthen ourselves in the future, we can work together to attack Qi."

"Qi is rich and has always been at odds with other countries, only following the lead of Qin. Qin is in chaos and can't take care of itself. Instead of fighting endlessly and giving others an opportunity to take advantage of it, why don't we unite to attack the enemy and divide Qi? This way, we can turn hostility into friendship and kill several birds with one stone. Isn't it wonderful?"

After hearing this, Guo Kai was silent and for a long time, he slowly nodded: "I understand, Your Highness is a man of great talent and vision, and you are tolerant and forgiving. I admire you!"
