Chapter 12 Excuses (1)

"Zhou Chong has met the king." Zhou Chong saluted the King of Qin.

The King of Qin waved his hand to stop the King of Qin from celebrating and said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't need to be too polite. Let Wang Wan and the others give these common rituals to me. Mr. Zhou will be spared. Just be casual and speak to the truth."

This is said sincerely, not a false statement. However, Zhou Chong knew a truth well. When dealing with the emperor, he must not believe his words, otherwise something would happen. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, the king!"

The King of Qin gushed and said, "Mr. Zhou, you... tell you some truth, but you have lost your mood for these common etiquettes. Tell me, what's wrong with me?"

Zhou Chong asked for a crime and said, "The king is about to get married, Zhou Chong came to give the king a gift."

The King of Qin chuckled and said, "Oh, I must have the gift you gave to Mr. Zhou. Is there good news from Chu State again? Tell me quickly."

Zhou Chong said, "King, Zhou Chong is incompetent and has no progress in the matter of Chu. I will ask the King to punish him."

The King of Qin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou has taken a lot from Chu. Even if there is no more, the current income is enough for me to wipe out the land of the Three Jins."

"Thank you, the king." Zhou Chong took out the five pairs of white jades and ten pearls given by Yan Dan, and presented them to him and said, "Your Majesty, this is the gift I have given to you."

The King of Qin looked at the gift in Zhou Chong's hand and then Zhou Chong, and he was a little confused about Zhou Chong's intention and said, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean? Do you still love this little money? Oh, Mr. Zhou's move must have a deep meaning, please tell me." The King of Qin was the King of Qin, and immediately thought of it, and said, "This is the gift Yan Dan gave you?"

Zhou Chong had to praise the Qin King's reaction quickly and accurate predictions, and said, "The king is wise! That's right."

The King of Qin sneered and ridiculed Yan Dan, saying, "This Danzi has only a little virtue and has so many excuses. Only children will believe his nonsense. Giving some gifts is so shabby, it is really a narrow country. I have been urinating and mud with him since I was a child. I know his ability, so Mr. Zhou doesn't have to take it to my heart." Yan Lai was very disdainful.

"Zhou Chong dares not!" Zhou Chong responded.

The King of Qin continued: "The first time he came to see me, saying that the King of Yan was sick and wanted to return to China. I haven't met him for so many years. I was about to have a good conversation, so I naturally didn't allow it. The second time he came, he said that his mother was sick. According to my secret report, it was nothing at all. I asked him to live in Qin with peace of mind. The third time he said that he missed Yan and his parents, and was joking. A man could not stand the little longing. What did he say when he came to you?"

As Zhou Chong expected, Yan Dan had found many excuses and blocked them by the King of Qin. The King of Qin was determined to take him as a hostage. Don’t say that he was looking for excuses, even if what he said was true, the King of Qin would not let him go.

"Returning to the king, Yan Dan said he would return to the country to prepare a generous gift for the king." Zhou Chong was also a cheating master.

The King of Qin laughed and said, "Just! Children's jokes! When my cavalry staggers into Yan State, the entire Yan State belongs to me. I care about his gift, which is ridiculous! If he gives Yan State to me, I want it. However, even if he gives Yan State now, I can't ask for it. I have to eat this food one by one, and the Destroyed Kingdom will be destroyed one by one. Even if I have Yan State now, it will be difficult for me to govern it. If he sends Du Kang to me, I will be polite. Du Kang is the granary of Yan State, and the King of Yan regards it as a treasure land. He does not even mark the map given to me by the Qin Dynasty, and thinks I don't know."

Although these words were criticized, Zhou Chong had to admire the wise nature of Qin from his heart. If Qin had owned Yan now, just like Wei Yue and Zhao attacked Zhongshan, it would have been better off in the end. Han and Zhao had not yet been destroyed, even if they owned Yan, they would be just an "enclave" and it was difficult to deal with it. Instead of gaining a country, it would be better to take over a city.

Zhou Chong asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, don't you want to exchange Yan Dan for Du Kang?"

"That's not the case!" King Qin changed his mind and said, "Although Yan Dan is stupid, his value is still not low. A small Du Kang can't replace him."

Zhou Chong nodded without saying a word.

"Mr. Zhou knows what I mean?" King Qin asked Zhou Chong.

Zhou Chong had long understood the intention of the King of Qin, and he could not explain it and pretended to be confused: "Zhou Chong was ignorant and dared not guess the intention of the King."

Looking at Zhou Chong, the King of Qin said bluntly: "Like it! You are like a mirror, but you don't say it on purpose. I will tell you. I left Yan Dan for Zhao. If Yan and Qin attack Zhao from both sides, Zhao will be defeated without attacking it."

This was a far-sighted move. Although Zhou Chong had known his intention for a long time, he was still very excited to hear the King of Qin say it with his own ears, saying, "If Yan State can really send troops and attack them from both sides, Zhao State will be destroyed soon."

The King of Qin asked, "Mr. Zhou, how do you deal with Yan Dan? If you say you let him go, I will let him go. With Mr. Zhou, Mr. Liaozi, Ganluo, Li Si, Wang Ao, you are talented and talented, without Yan Dan, I will destroy Zhao like this!" This statement is not only a matter of ambition, but also a great trust in Zhou Chong.

Zhou Chong was very moved and said, "The king is confident, but Zhou Chong dares not say much."

"Zhao Gao!" King Qin shouted, and Zhao Gao appeared in response. King Qin said, "Go and tell Meng Tian that Danzi is my friend of the past. You must serve him well. No accidents can happen. Even if you go to the toilet, you must find two people to clean him. Only in this way can I be worthy of this friend."

He clearly wanted to take strict supervision, but he said so warmly that Zhou Chong almost laughed out loud. King Qin asked, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think you are dealing with this?"

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "The king is considering all his friends' righteousness, I can only admire him!"

"This gift was given to Mr. Danzi, so please accept it." King Qin smiled and said, "I'm just a little stingy. I'll give you ten pairs of white jade and twenty pearls."

Zhou Chong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you must not. This is not an ordinary gift. It is Yan State. If Zhou Chong accepts it, it will be a sinner. Zhou Chong will never dare to accept it."

"Since that's the case, then you stay." The King of Qin nodded and said, "I am not as good as you, Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou came just in time, and I am having something to do."

Zhou Chong said, "Please give me instructions, Zhou Chong dares not do his best."

The King of Qin said happily: "With your Mr. Zhou's words, I will be relieved. When attacking Han, I am ready for everything, and I am only left with an excuse. I want to unify the world, and this is the best reason. If I don't need to make any excuses, I just send troops directly. But Han Fei once said, "If you have a righteous name, you will be ashamed of Han Fei." If there is no reason to be upright and open, I will not be easy to explain when I see Han Fei. I am thinking that when I get married, there will be envoys in South Korea. Please help me find an excuse."

At that time, the world was united and the general trend was the general trend, so we could send troops without any excuses. We did not spare any effort for King Han Fei. Although this kind of affection did not fall on Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong was still very moved. He thought that there were really not many people who loved talents in the past and present.

This excuse is difficult to find. The difficulty is not that it can be found, but that something is too despicable. Zhou Chong didn't do it yet, and hurriedly said, "Master, Zhou Chong is powerless to do this."
