Chapter Eleven
Chapter 11
Zhou Chong, Wang Jian and Nei Shiteng rode their horses. As they were walking, a sudden sound of hooves sounded. Zhou Chong looked up and saw a group of people racing towards him.
When he got closer, Zhou Chong saw clearly that the person in charge was Zhao Gao. Behind him was a team of Tiger Guards, surrounded by a large cart. Zhou Chong recognized it at a glance. This was the King of Qin's car.
"The king is here!" Wang Jian turned over and got off the horse, stood solemnly, ready to welcome the King of Qin.
Zhou Chong and Nei Shiteng also dismounted. Nei Shiteng's thoughts were the same as Wang Jian, and he thought that the King of Qin had arrived. Zhou Chong looked at him less and less and said, "No, it's the king's car, but the king did not come."
"The king's car is here, the king must be here." Neishen said without thinking.
Zhou Chong analyzed: "When the king travels, he is usually guarded by General Meng Tian, only Zhao Gao is not Meng Tian. Besides, the king has many cars and battles, so there are too few people."
"Yes!" Nei Shiteng suddenly realized and asked curiously: "But what is Wang Che doing?"
Wang Jian also thought about it and said, "I'll know when Zhao Gao arrives." That's all, the three of them stood on the road.
After a while, Zhao Gao came closer, turned over and dismounted, and rushed to Zhou Chong and the other two who were standing on the solemn road, saying, "The King has an order!"
"I received the order!" Zhou Chong and the other two said together.
Zhao Gao repeated the oral order of the King of Qin and said, "Since Zhou Chong entered the court, he recommended the wise and capable people, and repeatedly made strange plans to disrupt Chu and destroy Han and destroy Zhao, and made contributions to govern Han. The Han family gave enough people, paid sufficient taxes, and retreated, and the people were at peace. This was a merit of the country that must be rewarded.
Zhou Chong took the king's carriage and entered Xianyang. My husband welcomed Mr. Zhou in his kin."
This was the courtesy of a national sage. Zhou Chong never dreamed that the King of Qin would greet him with such high etiquette. He almost screamed and was stunned for a while before saying, "The king is kind, Zhou Chong should have followed it, but Zhou Chong was disgraceful and shallow.
He has no merits in Qin's country, so he dare not be the king's kindness, so he asked the king to take back his life."
After Zhao Gao finished retelling the imperial edict of King Qin, he no longer had a stern face and smiled, "Oh, Lord Zhou, this is the king's kindness. I don't know how many people in the world dream of it. But you refuse.
Fortunately, the king expected you to refuse. The king said that Mr. Zhou deserves this gift! Mr. Zhou, please."
This etiquette is too high, and Zhou Chong still cannot be regarded as it. He declined and said, "Mr. Zhao, Zhou Chong really cannot be regarded as it."
Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you know what the king decided. It cannot be changed. If you don't take the king's car, you will be resisting the order."
The King of Qin advocated the rule of law and had clear rewards and punishments. He treated Zhou Chong so politely, so he naturally had his own reason. Zhou Chong knew that it would be impossible not to take the ride, so he had to say, "Thank you, King." He raised his foot and was about to get on the bus, but Zhao Gao hurriedly stopped him.
He said: "Mr. Zhou, please step on Zhao Gao's back and get on the bus."
According to what Zhao Gaodi did in history, Zhou Chong did not step on his back on the bus, but wanted to step on him. However, in this world, he had not discovered any mistakes he had made. It was unreasonable to step on his back on the bus, so Zhou Chong hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao."
This cannot be done."
Zhao Gao leaned on the ground with his hand. He raised his body and said, "The King said. There is no horse-mounted stone on the road, so I have to make a horse-mounted stone for Mr. Zhou. If Mr. Zhou did not use Zhao Gao's horse-mounted stone, Zhao Gao would resist the order.
Mr. Zhou, don’t you take Zhao Gao’s life?”
Even if Zhou Chong did not use Zhao Gao's horse-mounting stone, the King of Qin would not kill Zhao Gao before the facts were true. At most, he would blame him for a few words. Although Zhou Chong was wary of Zhao Gao, he was still very clear about this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since that's the case, Lord Zhao, Zhou Chong offended him.
"Walking on Zhao Gao's back, Zhao Gao arched hard, and Zhou Chong got on the king's car.
Zhao Gao stood up straight and rushed to Wang Jian and Nei Shiteng, who were still stunned, and said, "What are the two generals doing when they stand? They can't get on the king's car. The king wants you to join, don't just stand."
Wang Jian and the inner sergeant Teng thanked the king and got on the king's carriage. Master Zhao took the horse whip, got on the shaft, waved the whip and drove the horse straight towards Xianyang.
This place is not far from Xianyang, only three or five miles away, and I soon saw the Xianyang city gate.
There were many people under the city gate. It was the King of Qin who led the ministers of civil and military affairs to welcome Zhou Chong. Zhou Chong was so excited that he jumped down before the king's car stopped and bowed to the King of Qin and said, "My minister Zhou Chong has seen the king."
"It's free, it's free, Mr. Zhou please give up the gift." The King of Qin took Zhou Chong's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, from now on, you will no longer have to pay tribute to me, let alone give respect to me."
This was a great honor. Zhou Chong was very surprised and said, "Master, this must not be done."
The King of Qin waved his hand to stop Zhou Chong and said, "Mr. Zhou, do you know why I welcome you intimately today? That's right, you did a great job in Korea, and your political achievements were outstanding. You will have more contributions to destroying Han, but all this is not worthy of my rituals today.
The reason why I welcomed Mr. Wang in person was because his actions in Korea were very novel. Things that have never happened since Pangu opened up the world.
Under the care of his husband, the Korean region recovered its vitality in a short period of time. Not only did there be no refugees, but he gave enough homes and paid enough taxes. This is all the power of the teacher.
"The affairs of Han land suddenly illuminate my eyes. I thought about it again and again, and I have to say: It turns out that I can govern the country like this! I have been thinking that if I extend the experience of Han land, and when the world returns to unite in the future, the whole world will follow the government of Han land, then my world will definitely be completely different from the world of the Three Kings and Five Emperors.
"The difference is not only because of its vast territory, but more importantly, its way of governing the world.
Although the Three Kings and Five Emperors were called sages, what was their way of governing the world? Do they dare to use merchants as boldly as their husbands? Merchants have always been targets for slaughtering. Mr. not only did not slaughter them, but also supported them. Under the guidance of Mr., although these merchants were seeking profit, they seemed to have an invisible hand instructing them in the things they did, but the result was very good. A prosperous Korean land was right in front of me.
”
Zhou Chong lamented in his heart that Adam Smith proposed the famous economic theory "Invisible Hand" based on this understanding. The Qin King's understanding has been exposed to this economic principle. The Qin King is really amazing!
Rather than saying that the King of Qin was welcoming Zhou Chong, it was better to say that he was welcoming a new thing, a hope, which was done by Zhou Chong. He was very excited and said, "Zhou Chong thanked King."
"Sir, please get on the car!" The King of Qin asked Zhou to rush into the king's car, then pulled Wei Liao up to join, and said, "Go!" Zhao Gao drove away.
Zhou Chong glanced at Li Si intentionally or unintentionally and found that Li Si was full of jealousy.
The people of Xianyang stationed and shouted in unison: "Long live the king!"
The King of Qin stood in the middle, with Wei Liao on the left and Zhou Chong on the right, constantly waved to the people, saying, "Welcome to Mr. Zhou!"
