Chapter 87
"Mr. Zhou, please save Guo Kai, please, Mr. Zhou." When Guo Kai, who was locked in prison, grabbed Zhuzi in front of Zhou Chong, he yelled at Zhou Chong as if he saw him savior.
Zhou Chong's smile remained unchanged and said, "Mr. Guo, don't panic.
"With a wave of his hand, the prison guard opened the prison door, Zhou rushed in and looked at Guo Kai. After only three days of sight, Guo Kai had become another person. His originally fat body suddenly lost a lot of weight, his face was haggard, and his eyes were dull.
It is no wonder that a treacherous person like him finally gathered such a large family business and had not enjoyed enough. The most feared thing is death. He spent all the time in anxiety and had his mind damaged. He couldn't do it until he was not changed.
After hearing Zhou Chong's words, Guo Kai seemed to be as happy as a devout believer when he heard the gospel of God: "Mr. Xie Zhou, Mr. Xie Zhou."
Zhou Chong waved his hand and said, "Put it." The Hu Ben Guard placed the food in the food box and took out a pot of wine.
"Mr. Guo, please sit down." Zhou Chong poured wine for Guo Kai and said, "I have been too busy these days and have no time to visit Mr. Guo. I have caused Mr. Guo to suffer. Zhou Chong accused him here."
He said politely, Guo Kai had a greater hope of survival, and he said happily: "Mr. Xie Zhou. May I ask Mr. Zhou, when will the king let me go?"
Zhou Chong said without answering the question: "Sir Guo, come, have a drink first. I didn't take good care of Mr. Guo. Zhou Chong felt guilty and borrowed this glass of wine to apologize to Mr. Guo."
After hearing this, Guo Kai was sure that he would not die. He immediately felt relieved and said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Zhou say this? If Mr. Zhou hadn't given such great contributions to Guo Kai, how could Guo Kai have become an official in Qin and become a hero of Qin?" He drank it all in one drink.
It's like a long whale absorbing water, so it's so uncomfortable.
Zhou Chong gave him a full blown speech and said, "If you talk about merit, Lord Guo has indeed made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. Zhou Chong cannot be compared with Lord Guo."
Guo Kaiqian said: "Mr. Zhou has been too rewarded. If it weren't for Mr. Zhou's guidance and trusting Guo Kai, Guo Kai would have no chance even if he was determined to make contributions to the Qin Dynasty."
Zhou Chong said in his words: "It's good to be meritorious. Some merits are not good, but they are not good if they are meritorious."
Guo Kai did not understand Zhou Chong's intention and said, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean?"
Zhou Chong explained to him: "Accepting bribes and defeating the country is a crime for Zhao State and a great contribution for Qin State. This contribution is not well made."
Guo Kai put down the wine glass he picked up.
He asked, "Why did Mr. Zhou say this? Could it be that I, Guo Kai..." Zhou Chong nodded and said, "Yes! Let me tell you clearly, I, Mr. Liaozi and Wang Ao, and I have been busy with one thing in the past three days, and I will copy your home.
You are really a character, and you have gathered such a big family business. The three of us were so busy that we finally finished it. The king looked at the list and said only one sentence, "If there is another Guo Kai, you will be able to match the treasury of the Qin Dynasty."
"The King of Qin means that Guo Kai's family business is as big as half of the treasury of Qin.
Finally I understood. Zhou Chong came here to say goodbye to Guo Kai. Guo Kai fell into the abyss, and knelt in front of Zhou Chong, kowtowed and said, "Mr. Zhou, please save me, I will never dare to do it again, I will not dare to do it anymore.
As long as I can survive, I don’t want my family business. Give it all to the king, and I will be a beggar.”
Zhou Chong helped Guo Kai up, let him sit down, and said, "Mr. Guo also understands that you have done so many evil and bad things. If you don't kill you, how can you pacify the world? Besides, the king of the king. How can you tolerate you, a treacherous person? You are disloyal to minister Zhao.
Without the ritual of ministers, who else can you kill if the king doesn’t kill you?”
"I don't accept it. I want to see the King of Qin, I want to ask him, for the sake of the Qin Dynasty, I have killed all the royal families of Zhao State and destroyed the ancestral temple of Zhao State, and I have also killed the Zhao ministers who slandered the Qin Dynasty.
"Guo Kai said angrily: "I have done so many things for the Qin Dynasty, why should he kill me? The Qin Dynasty has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. If I make great contributions and do not reward me, how can the King of Qin conquer the world?"
Zhou Chong laughed and said, "Mr. Guo, you are right. You have done a lot of things for the Qin Dynasty. If you didn't kill all the royal families of Zhao, kill the unyielding ministers of Zhao, and destroy the ancestral temple of Zhao, in Handan, Zhao will not be so calm now. There will be many people who oppose it and make trouble everywhere. This is your contribution.
”
Guo Kai said proudly: "It's good that you know."
Zhou Chong changed the subject and asked, "But you have thought that without you, you would not have any selfishness when doing these things? You are not only selfish, but also selfish.
First, you are using the power of the Qin army to vent your personal anger and killing Zhao Chen whom you cannot get along with on weekdays. Is this true? Second, you are trying to take this opportunity to show off. You want to be a high-ranking official in Daqin, learn from the example, and then become a corrupt official in your land. Is that true? If there is a third, you are taking the opportunity to fill your personal pockets. How much benefit do you have? The King of the Supreme Lord can't let you succeed?
”
This was at the point of view, and Guo Kai was speechless.
Zhou Chong continued to say: "You are abusing loyal and kind people in Zhao State, and you are robbing them with great sins. The people are angry. If you don't kill you, how can you calm the people's anger and how can you curb the people's hearts? According to Zhou Chong's reading, Daqin wrote ten thousand notices to safeguard the people, which is more effective than killing you, Guo Kai.
"Besides, killing the Zhao royal family and destroying the Zhao ancestral temple is like adding insult to injury. The Zhao people hate you even more. Killing a Guo will win the hearts of Zhao people, and living a Guo will lose the hearts of Zhao people. Do you think this interest is still necessary?"
Guo Kai suddenly realized and pointed at Zhou Chong and said, "You are hurting me. You wanted to deal with the Zhao royal family. If you are not inconvenient to come forward, you just pretend to be on me. When I finish the matter, you will kill me to achieve the goal of winning the hearts of the people. You are so poisonous!"
Zhou Chong asked Guo Kai to do this, and he had the idea of this. Whoever killed the Zhao royal family and destroyed the Zhao ancestral temple would be hated by the Zhao people to the core. Zhou Chong would not be so stupid that he would do it himself, so he pretended to be Guo Kai.
Zhou Chong showed his sinister face and said, "You are neither right nor right. I think so when I make a fake hand to achieve my goal.
But, sooner or later, you will be killed. Instead of sending someone to do this, making Zhao hate him, it is better to ask you to do it alone. I used you, so I came to give you a ride. Finally, I gave you a word, Lord Guo, leave! Goodbye.
"He turned around and left with a fist. Guo Kai's roar came from behind, "I don't accept it" and "Zhou Chong, you are so sinister."
Zhou Chong was right. When he killed Guo Kai, there were crowds of people in Handan City and surrounded by people. When Guo Kai’s head was cut off, the people all applauded and ran around to tell each other.
The King of Qin seized the opportunity, promulgated the imperial edict on the execution ground, abolished Zhao's harsh policies, removed the checkpoints, and allowed the people to pass freely, cracked down on bullies and powerful people, protected the people's property, and reduced taxes. The people of Handan knelt down to the King of Qin, shouting "Long live the king!"
In history, destroying the hearts of Zhao people gave Qin a headache and caused a disaster of war, which angered the Qin king and ordered the city to be massacred, killing and injured countless people.
