Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 140
"Your Majesty, why are you ignoring him?" A coquettish concubine wrapped her arms like jade lotus roots, put her arms around Zhao Wangqian's neck, breathed like orchids, and said coquettishly, "My Majesty, you love me the most on weekdays." What's the matter today, my lord? It's as if I haven't seen him, Your Majesty, if you ignore him, he will ignore you."

Although Zhao Wangqian is incompetent in governing the country, his ability to roll around among women is second to none. He usually jokes with his concubines and makes them laugh. Sitting bored like today, he treats beautiful women like jade as nothing. It rarely happens, so how can the concubine not be surprised.

Zhao Wangduan sat still, stretched out his right hand mechanically, picked up the wine glass, brought it close to his mouth, and poured it suddenly. Unfortunately, it was empty and there was no wine in it. Empty glass, there is no wine. Come, my lord, if someone pours wine for you, you have to be nice to him!" Poured the wine for King Zhao tenderly.

After drinking it dry, Zhao Wang urged: "Pour the wine." The concubine was about to fill it up again. At this moment, a big hand reached out and took the wine pot from the concubine. Thinking of someone daring to snatch the jug from her hand, she was startled and was about to scream, Guo Kai's voice sounded, saying: "Your Majesty is frightened."

"It's you, Guo Kai!" The concubine heaved a sigh of relief, "I'm scared to death."

Guo Kai smiled brightly, and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame me. Your Majesty, the King has important matters today, and it is not appropriate to disturb him. Please avoid me, Your Majesty."

The concubine's pretty nose snorted and said, "What can he do?"

The smile on Guo Kai's face disappeared all of a sudden, and he said to the concubine seriously: "Your Majesty, you are rude to the king, but it is a serious crime of beheading, don't blame Guo Kai for not reminding you."

It is extremely rude to directly call Zhao Wang as you instead of calling Wang Shang, the concubine was so frightened that her face paled, Guo Kai's face softened, and said: "Your Majesty, step back quickly, Guo Kai will intercede for you."

The concubine breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Guo." She winked at Guo Kai, turned and left.

Guo Kai looked like a gentleman with his eyes and nose watching his heart, as if he didn't see the concubine's actions at all, until the concubine disappeared, Guo Kai poured wine for King Zhao, and King Zhao drank it mechanically.

"Man up!" King Zhao urged.

Guo Kai is a favorite minister, very much favored by King Zhao, a very exquisite person, naturally knows what to do to achieve his goal, he didn't obey the order to pour wine, but knelt down on the ground, pleading guilty to King Zhao, saying : "Your Majesty, my minister Guo is punished by death, death penalty!"

King Zhao was awakened by Guo Kai's pleading, and asked in puzzlement, "Guo Kai, what's your crime?"

"My lord, I heard that the king was worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the king humiliated the minister to death. The king is very worried. It is the minister's fault that the minister cannot relieve the king's worries. I ask the death penalty." Guo Kai pretended to be loyal.

Zhao Wang was moved and said: "Guo Kai, it's rare that you are so loyal, you get up, get up, it's not your fault."

Guo Kai stood up and said: "Your Majesty is not happy, I dare to tell you a strange thing, make him smile, and please allow me."

"Oh, what's a strange thing? Tell the widow to know." Zhao Wang's interest increased greatly.

Guo Kai responded, and said: "There was an old hunter chasing a deer. He chased and chased him until it was dark, but he didn't catch up. The old hunter was tired, so he leaned against a big tree to sleep. This tree is amazing. , surrounded by several people, with luxuriant branches and full of vitality. The old hunter fell asleep when he heard a voice. "Old tree, the place where you stand is too big, this is my place, you should move .'A small voice sounded.'Xiaocao, don't be fanciful. This place belongs to me. I'm here. You don't know where it is.'The ancient tree is extremely disdainful.'Old tree, we treat you very seriously. If you don’t listen to all the good words, don’t blame us for being rude.” Xiaocao’s voice sounded again. “A barnyard grass, what’s so great, dare to brag in front of my ancient tree, I want you to see the ancient The power of the tree." The ancient tree laughed. "Old tree, no matter how big you are, you are only one person. Although we are small, there are tens of thousands. Brothers, come on, get the ancient tree away." Xiaocao encouraged Get up. There was only a strange sound, and then there was the shrill cry of the ancient tree, "Xiaocao, you are bullying my old man because of the large number of people." Xiaocao sneered, "Old tree, you don't listen to us. It’s our own fault, and we can’t blame us.” With a bang, the old hunter woke up, only to see that the old tree had fallen to the side, and his body was covered with countless grasses.”

King Zhao's eyes widened, and he said in amazement: "It's really a miracle. The ancient tree is so big that it can't beat the grass. If it weren't for Aiqing's mention, I would still be hard-pressed to believe that there is such a miracle in the world."

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, is Your Majesty making trouble for Xiaocao?" Guo Kai began to guide Zhao Wang.

Zhao Wang saw that Guo Kai was silent, and after a while he said: "Guo Kai, what are you going to say? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to say too much." Guo Kai cleverly dismissed it.

Zhao Wang sighed and said: "If you ask you, you will believe you. If you want you to tell me, you will say it."

Guo Kai responded and said: "I dare to ask the king, but is it difficult for General Li Mu and their joint memorial?"

King Zhao didn't speak, but nodded slightly.Guo Kai continued: "There is something I don't understand. General Li Mu is the pillar general of our country of Zhao. He has a memorial that he can directly appeal to the king. Why did he sign the joint memorial?"

Li Mu knew that King Zhao was afraid of Qin Ruhu, and if there was not enough pressure, King Zhao would not dare to send people to negotiate with Qin, so he joined the generals to play together, but Guo Kai did not expect Guo Kai to say this.

He is an extremely good general, but he is not easy to talk about in politics. He forgot one thing, the king must first choose someone who can be assured when employing people. With such a big commotion, how could King Zhao feel at ease? He naturally had to be suspicious.

"What do you think his purpose is?" King Zhao asked Guo Kai.

Guo Kai knelt on the ground, touched his head to the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty of death, death penalty."

King Zhao helped him up and said, "Say, no matter what you say, I will forgive you for not being guilty."

Guo Kai thanked and said: "Your Majesty, I am worried that your Majesty is an ancient tree and General Li Mu is a grass."

"You mean, he wants to rebel?" Zhao Wang shouted, calmed down a little, and said: "If you say that General Li Mu rebelled, I don't believe it. It's hard for me to accept what he did. He wants to be king."

Guo Kai knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty is a wise man! I think so too. But..."

"But what?" Zhao Wang asked.

Guo Kai went on to say: "I heard that those who plan the country will seek everything, and those who guard against the author must first guard against the weak. Although General Li Mu wants to be a king, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do more rebellious things. Zhao Shuai, the ancestor of my Zhao family, was a capable minister of Duke Wen of Jin. Invigorate my Zhao family line. Xiangzi participated in the conspiracy of Han and Wei, and the three families divided into Jin, so there is my country of Zhao. Counting from the decline of Zhao, the achievements of several generations are all from small to small. Your Majesty, the past is not far away. The teacher of the future, please return to the king for a clear investigation. The minister dares to be ambiguous, and ask the king to punish the crime." He bowed low, with an appearance of loyalty.

What he said naturally has his adaptability, mainly Zhou Chong taught him.

Can he forget about Zhao Wang's family affairs concerning the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty?As expected by Zhou Chong, King Zhao walked up and down and asked, "Guo Kai, what do you think should be done?"

"Master Zhou, you are the current grandpa, you are amazing!" Guo Kai admired Zhou Chong in his heart.
