Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 290

"The widow is not sensitive, and it is a troubled time. Since the rebellion caused chaos, the blood of the great Chu has flowed into rivers, corpses have piled up like mountains, people have been devastated, and the people are in dire straits. I often think about it, and my heart hurts." Turning around, he said: "Fortunately, the King of Qin, Shang Shengming, sent Mr. Zhou to lead the army to the Chu State to quell the chaos in the Chu State and wipe out the rebels. Fortunately for the widow, for the great Chu, and for the common people. Today, the widow sent you all I'm here to ask you to drink with Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou is running around for the fate of the Great Chu. I'm so grateful, so I'll prepare a little water and wine, and I invite Mr. Zhou to honor me."

Zhou Chong held the life and death of the state of Chu, so the king of Chu naturally did not dare to be disrespectful. He said this very politely, but it was not his words, it was the result of Zhang Lianger's order.

All the ministers said in unison: "Follow the king's order!"

The King of Chu left the table, holding a golden bottle, came to Zhou Chong, and said: "Mr. Zhou has suffered so much for the great Chu. I have no thanks. I respect Mr. Zhou for a cup. Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Chong hurriedly stood up, and said politely: "Your Majesty's words are serious. Foreign ministers came to Chu State under the order of the Great Qin King. Although they came for the fate of Chu State, they also came for Great Qin. Absolutely, if Da Qin stands still at this time, it is unreasonable, what Zhou Chong did should be done, and please don't take it to heart."

This was said very modestly, the king of Chu was very happy to hear it, he laughed and said: "Zhou Xian is too modest, Mr. Zhou please."

Zhou Chong said: "Please, Your Majesty!" The two drank a glass to each other.

Li Yuan came up with a golden cup and said, "Mr. Zhou, Li Yuan also offers you a toast. Mr. Zhou and Li Yuan have known each other before, and they are inseparable from each other. It is a great honor for Li Yuan to know each other. Come, Mr. Zhou please Drink this cup to the brim."

Zhou Chong delivered a speech and said: "The prime minister is serious. Zhou Chong is only acting on the orders of the king. The prime minister is too rewarding. Zhou Chong is ashamed of receiving it. The prime minister is a great talent of Chu, and being able to meet the prime minister is enough to comfort his life. , Zhou Chong is very lucky to be so highly regarded by the prime minister. Prime Minister, please!" The two drank a glass to each other.

Zhou Chong poured it for Li Yuan, and then poured it for himself, saying: "Prime Minister, it's Zhou Chong's toast to you. How can Zhou Chong be able to win the prime minister's heart so much? Toast the Prime Minister with a glass of wine. Prime Minister, please!"

Who is Zhou Chong?For the well-known king of Qin and the famous people in front of him, a word of praise from him is enough to comfort his whole life, not to mention that he gave himself face in front of civil and military officials, and his words were respectful. Li Yuan was very happy and smiled. There was only a small slit left in the eyes, and he raised the golden bottle and said, "Mr. Zhou, please!" The two touched each other and drank it down in one gulp.

Li Yuan kept saying: "Happy, happy! Drinking with Mr. Zhou is a joy in life!" He sighed endlessly.

"Zifang, give Mr. Zhou a cup." Li Yuan said to Zhang Liang.

Drinking with Zhou Chong was exactly what Zhang Liang wanted in his heart. Upon hearing this, he immediately left the table, came to Zhou Chong, and said: "Mr. Zhou has worked so hard to come to Dachu. Zhang Liang is very grateful. .Mr. Zhou is a very good person, and he can have a drink with Mr. Zhou, Zhang Liang wishes in his heart, and please honor Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Chong knew that Zhang Liang was not lying, not to mention that drinking with Zhang Liang was what Zhou Chong wanted in his heart, so he smiled happily and said: "Zifang's words are serious, Zifang enters Chu and Da Chu'an, honesty and wonder, honesty today Uncle Sun also can drink with Zifang as Zhou Chong wished. Drinking with a rare person like Zifang, one cup is not enough to fully enjoy yourself, how about drinking three cups?"

"The number of three cups, yes!" Zhang Liang responded happily, raised the gold bottle in his hand, touched Zhou Chong, said hello to each other, and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Chong thought about the wine pot, poured it for Zhang Liang, and filled it up for himself. He picked up the gold bottle and said, "Ovary, please!" Zhang Liang said, "Please, Mr. Zhou!" this cup.

Zhang Liangti thought about the wine pot, filled it for Zhou Chong, and poured it for himself again, saying: "Mr. Zhou, please!" Enjoy it!" As for how to enjoy it, the two of them tacitly agreed, and no one else knew what it meant.

Zhang Liang pleaded guilty and returned to the table.Li Yuan was still excited, and raised his gold bottle again, saying: "Mr. Zhou led the army, and the rebels will be crowned soon. It is really a blessing for Da Chu to return to peace. Li Yuan hereby respects Mr. Zhou." One cup, I wish Mr. Zhou every success."

Zhou Chong chuckled, and said: "I ask the prime minister to say auspiciously. If Zhou Chong succeeds by chance, it is not due to Zhou Chong's credit. It is the king's mighty virtue, the prime minister is wise, the soldiers work hard, and the people of Chu Chu support them."

Li Yuan sighed and said: "Mr. Zhou is really humble! I am ashamed of my generation! How many people make an inch of merit and think of their abilities, thinking that they are invincible. If they know Mr. Zhou's lofty integrity, they will definitely be ashamed!"

Zhou Chongqian said: "Prime Minister is serious, Zhou Chong is just telling the truth. Prime Minister, please think, if there is no big Chu to provide us with logistics supplies, how can we come so fast, and we will not be able to achieve 'soldiers are precious and fast' in fights." The essentials of the art of war." Zhou Chong understands very well that it is so easy to destroy Chu, and this achievement is not his, nor the king of Qin's, but Zhang Liang's. , how dare he take credit, let alone he is not the person who takes credit.

Li Yuan sighed again, and said: "Mr. Zhou's words are enough to warn the world! Especially those arrogant people!" He himself is an arrogant person, does not know whether he is included?
Zhou Chong held up the golden cup and said, "Zhou Chong will use the wine of Great Chu to toast the people of Great Chu, Prime Minister, please!"

Li Yuan was full of joy at the words of the scholar of Chu State, and said: "Mr. Zhou, please!" He opened his mouth wide, like a giant whale sucking in hundreds of rivers, drank it all in one gulp, and shouted, "Happy, happy!"

Zhou Chong filled the jug with a pot, brought the golden goblet to the King of Chu, and said, "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers have just arrived in Da Chu, but they have not made any achievements. The King treats them with such courtesy. Zhou Chong is very grateful." .Zhou Chong dared to offer a cup to the king, and wished the king ten thousand years! I wish the great Chu country peace and prosperity!"

The king of Chu picked up the gold bottle and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your good words!" The two drank to each other.

Zhou Chong poured the cup for the King of Chu and said, "The King please drink this cup. Zhou Chong has a merciless request."

"Mr. Zhou, if you have something to say, please tell me. I have no reason not to refuse it." The King of Chu drank as he said.

Zhou Chong smiled all over his face and said: "Confucius said, 'It is inappropriate to come and not to go'. Zhou Chong came to Dachu and was honored by the king's hospitality. Zhou Chong was so grateful. Zhou Chong thought that the king treats foreign ministers so seriously. The foreign ministers have no way to repay the king, but to kill the rebels and return the peace of the Great Chu. Zhou Chong thought that before going out, he would prepare a little water and wine, and invite the king, the prime minister, the ovary, and all the adults to come. In the army, on the one hand, Zhou Chong was allowed to take the lead, and then to express the friendship between Qin and Chu. On the other hand, Zhou Chong is also acting on his own strength, and if the king and all the adults reward him, Zhou Chong will have three points of confidence."

These words are well-reasoned, and no one can refuse them, not to mention that the King of Chu has a request for Zhou Chong, so he dared to offend him, so he agreed straight away: "Mr. Zhou, please rest assured, I will act like a good man for Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Chong thanked, turned around and went back to his seat, only to see Zhang Liang raised his right hand intentionally or unintentionally, with a thumbs up, he meant that Zhou Chong's hand was really clever!
