Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 422: The Kingdom of Zhao is almost gone, but you have become a loyal minister!

"What?" Zhao Wangqian's whole body trembled. He couldn't believe what he heard.

Zhao Wangqian looked at Guo Kai, who nodded. That was indeed what was written in the military newspaper.

Civil and military discussions throughout the court came and went, but these voices gradually became hollow in Zhao Wangqian's ears. Zhao Wangqian stood up suddenly and pointed at Guo Kai with trembling fingers. His lips moved slightly, and then his eyes flickered. Black fell on the throne.

Zhao Wangqian's fainting immediately silenced the buzzing Zhao court, followed by even more intense chaos.

"The king fainted!"

"Prince doctor, call me doctor!"

"Send the king back to the palace quickly!!" Guo Kai shouted.

The chaotic Zhao State Court calmed down after King Zhao Qian was brought back to the harem. Then the ministers with their own thoughts also left one after another. When Guo Kai left, a chamberlain stopped Guo Kai.

"Xiang Guo, please stay. The Queen Mother invites you!"

"Lead the way." Guo Kai said.

Under the leadership of the chamberlain, Guo Kai came to the prostitute's palace. After performing the courtesy of a monarch and ministers, the prostitute screened everyone away.

"Xiang Guo, did the Ai family hear that the king fainted in the court?" the prostitute asked.

"When I return to the Queen Mother, the imperial doctor has already completed the diagnosis. The king is in a coma due to a sudden attack on his heart. He can recover with a little rest and there will be no serious problem." Guo Kai said truthfully.

"The king is not in good health now. At this time, the Qin State is aggressively attacking our Zhao State. The whole Zhao State, including the king and the Ai family, depends on Prime Minister Guo." The prostitute said with expectation in her eyes.

When Guo Kai heard what the prostitute said, a flash of impatience flashed in his eyes. He naturally understood what the queen was asking, which was nothing more than surrendering to the Qin State. But now Guo Kai had nothing to do, because he had lost his relationship with the Qin State. As for the communication channel, he used to rely on Hun Zhu to contact the Qin State, but after Hun Zhu handed over the restaurant to him, he could no longer contact Hun Zhu.

He and Ziyou had a relationship before, and Ziyou was even the driving force behind Li Mu's death. But since Li Mu's death, Ziyou has also disappeared. Guo Kai also understood that Ziyou must be behind Li Mu's resurrection, but now he didn't want to think about it anymore. He just wanted to contact Ziyou to discuss the surrender as soon as possible, otherwise Waiting for the furious Wuling Iron Cavalry to break through Handan, although he was not the one who gave Zhao Wangqian the idea to massacre the Wuling Iron Cavalry family, Wuling Iron Cavalry would definitely not go to Zhao Wangqian to settle accounts, but would use him as the King of Zhao. The scapegoat for moving.

"Queen Mother, I will definitely do my best for the State of Zhao, the King and the Queen Mother." Guo Kai bowed and said. Although he could not contact the State of Qin, Guo Kai was still accustomed to stabilizing the prostitute first.

"The Ai family can rest assured. This is a thousand-year-old ginseng. Guo Xiang can take it to replenish his body. It won't work if he is exhausted." said the prostitute.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward." Guo Kai was now thinking of ways to contact the State of Qin, and he even forgot about shirk.

After getting the ginseng, Guo Kai was called away by the awakened Zhao Wangqian before he could leave the Zhao Palace.

Guo Kai came to Zhao Wangqian's palace and saw Zhao Wangqian lying on the bed. Zhao Wangqian's face was not good, and he had just woken up. Guo Kai was about to salute when he was interrupted by Zhao Wangqian. "We, the monarch and his ministers, will omit these etiquettes." Zhao Wangqian waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is a thousand-year-old ginseng that I have found. Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty." Guo Kai opened the box containing the ginseng and said.

Seeing the ginseng in the box, Zhao Wangqian's heart instantly warmed up, his eyes were slightly moist, and he was very moved and said

"A friend in need is a friend indeed. At this time, only Mr. Guo still thinks of me."

"The late king was kind to me, and the king trusted me. I have nothing to repay, so I must repay the king with my own life." Guo Kai said.

Seeing Guo Kai acting like a loyal minister, the initial hesitation in Zhao Wangqian's heart dissipated at this moment. He waved to Guo Kai to step forward. After Guo Kai stepped forward, he was pulled by Zhao Wangqian. Stopped.

"What's the king's order?" Guo Kai whispered.

"Xiang Guo, I won't hide it from you. Now there is Li Mu in the north, Wang Jian in the south, Li Xin in the east, and Yanyu in the west is still occupied by Mengwu. Today, Zhao is surrounded on all sides, and the only general in the court who can fight is Zhao Kai was also killed by Li Mu at Yanmen Pass. Now our Zhao State has no troops but no generals to fight. Meng Tian is approaching Handan again. Zhao State has no way to save it. In order to save the people and soldiers of Zhao State from being killed by the Qin army "I am willing to negotiate peace with the State of Qin, but I don't know what the ministers in the court want, and I don't have an important minister to discuss this matter with the State of Qin. I wonder if Prime Minister Guo is willing to go there on my behalf?" Zhao Wangqian said in a low voice.

Guo Kai couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhao Wangqian. At this time, Guo Kai couldn't stop scolding Zhao Wangqian in his heart. What do you mean by protecting Zhao Kingdom from swordsmen? To put it bluntly, you are afraid of death, worried that Li Mu will break through first. He had captured Handan, and now he wanted to surrender, but for shame, he was embarrassed to say it in court, so he took advantage of him.

In order to surrender the Wuling cavalry and stabilize the hearts of the Zhao people, the Qin State would naturally not kill Zhao Wangqian, but in the end he would have to take the blame. Now Guo Kai really understands what it means to fly away when disaster strikes, but Guo Kai is not stupid, so naturally he will not do it.

"How can your Majesty make peace without fighting? Our Zhao people are united and our soldiers are loyal to our country. We are willing to fight to the death for our country at any time with the Qin army. The Qin army has not yet captured Handan, how can your Majesty say that we will surrender!?" Guo Kaiyi He threw away Zhao Wangqian's hand and yelled angrily.

Looking at the furious Guo Kai who advocated fighting to the death and martyrdom for his country, Zhao Wangqian's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that the Guo Kai in front of him was the Guo Kai he knew. Now that the Zhao Kingdom is almost gone, you have become a loyal minister. Yes,

However, Zhao Wangqian quickly reversed course. Guo Kai didn't want to take the blame, so he didn't want to. But now besides Guo Kai, Zhao Wangqian has no other trustworthy person.

"It is indeed not easy to ask Prime Minister Guo to take on two tasks. In this case, Prime Minister Guo can contact the State of Qin, and I will be responsible for the affairs in the court." Zhao Wangqian said.

When Guo Kai saw Zhao Wangqian regressing, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he still looked embarrassed on the surface. When Zhao Wangqian was impatient, Guo Kai looked difficult and faced Zhao Wangqian. The moving ceremony said

"Your Majesty is very concerned about the people and soldiers of Zhao State. If I am not willing to go to the Qin camp for Your Majesty, then I am just trying to gain fame and reputation. I am willing to work for Your Majesty."

"I will give Prime Minister Guo an edict to leave Handan by recruiting troops and horses." Zhao Wangqian said excitedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Kai said.

After taking the edict from Zhao Wangqian, Guo Kai left Handan. After returning to his mansion, Guo Kai began to secretly sort out the treasures and money in his mansion. Guo Kai didn't know whether he could successfully surrender to the Qin army this time, or whether he would be moved across the river and demolished the bridge by King Zhao after negotiating with the Qin army, so he was prepared to make two preparations and run away at any time.
