Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 392 What is your purpose in finding the truth this time?

Serving crimes and making meritorious deeds?

King Zhao frowned slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at the ministers kneeling below led by Guo Kai.

This might not be a solution!
There are too many ministers involved in this matter now. If they are all convicted and executed, the Zhao State will inevitably fall into chaos. Not only will it not be able to change the current situation of the Zhao State, it will even plunge the Zhao State into civil strife.

At this moment, there are still [-] Qin troops watching outside the city. As long as these ministers no longer commit treason, it is not a bad idea to give them the opportunity to atone for their sins in exchange for food.

After thinking about it again and again, the anger in King Zhao's heart gradually receded. He looked at the ministers below with a solemn expression and asked solemnly: "Are you willing to accept the crime and make meritorious service?"

Hearing King Zhao speak, Guo Kai, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately nodded and replied: "Yes, I am willing!"

"Your Majesty, your majesty and majesty, has a broad mind and is kind to us. I am willing to use my family's food savings to supply frontline military supplies!"

Guo Kai's heart was bleeding at this time. He had finally made some profits from Qin, but now he had to hand it over and confiscate it.

But even though he was heartbroken, he could only agree first.

After following King Zhao for many years, Guo Kai knew very well how King Zhao Yan handled things.

Even his own brother can be imprisoned, not to mention these ministers who have had transactions with Qin. If they don't agree now, they will be imprisoned without the Qin army attacking. In more serious cases, they will be imprisoned. Lost his life for this.

When life and death are at stake, you don’t care about so much. If your money and savings are gone, you can still make money, but if you lose your life, it’s really over!

The ministers kneeling below saw that the prime minister had agreed, and they also understood the seriousness of this matter in their hearts. They hurriedly kowtowed and echoed: "I am also willing to spend my family savings!"

"The minister is also willing!"

"Your Majesty is so generous and benevolent. It is my great fortune to be a great Zhao. I am willing to use my family's savings to provide for the soldiers of the front army!"

"..."

For a time, countless ministers nodded in agreement, no one wanted to make a joke with their own lives.

Seeing that so many ministers were willing to spend their family savings, Wei Ke breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart gradually calmed down.

With the savings of these ministers, the army's food and grass can be temporarily relieved. Now, as long as they wait for the arrival of Qi's reinforcements, Zhao's current crisis can be solved.

King Zhao, who was leaning on the bed, also nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "In this case, I think that since you have all made great contributions to our great Zhao, I will not pursue it for the time being. "

"There has been a blood feud between Qin and Zhao for hundreds of years. Even the former king died at the hands of these Qin people. This hatred is irreconcilable! If you do it again in the future, you will be killed without mercy!"

"As for the expropriation, let Wei Ke take care of it. If there is nothing else to do, stand down. I need to rest!"

Guo Kai nodded repeatedly, and then his nervous expression relaxed. He bowed and bowed before exiting the palace.

Other ministers followed and exited the palace.

"Wait a minute, prime minister!"

Not long after Guo Kai left the palace, a shout came from behind him.

Guo Kai stopped and turned around with a surprised expression. The people coming were none other than the ministers who had also participated in the Qin army's deal.Everyone immediately quickened their pace and quickly ran to Guo Kai, panting and bowing their hands in salute.

Seeing this, Guo Kai frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is there something wrong with you ministers being so anxious?"

The leader nodded and took a few deep breaths before replying: "Prime Minister, I am here to ask the Prime Minister for his views on the confiscation!"

Guo Kai touched his chin, looked at the people in front of him and asked with some confusion: "What do you mean by this?"

The leading minister looked around, and after confirming, he said: "This time King Zhao forced me to use our family savings to supply the army, and also used the excuse of committing crimes and meritorious service, but now no one in Daijun City knows. , the Kingdom of Zhao is about to perish!"

Guo Kai glared at him fiercely and reprimanded with a sharp expression: "Shut up! Do you know that if these remarks reach the ears of the king, your head will be lost!"

However, the minister looked like he didn't care at all. He looked at him firmly and continued: "There is no one else around except me. If the Prime Minister wants to report this to the King, just go."

"But whether what I just said is true or not, the Prime Minister naturally knows in his heart!"

Guo Kai was stunned for a moment, looking at the many ministers in front of him with a somewhat serious look on his face and frowning slightly.

He knew very well the fate of Zhao State.

As early as when the Qin army broke through the border, it was already at a disadvantage. Coupled with the fact that other countries refused to send troops to assist, the Zhao State was basically not far from destruction now!

The reason why he suggested that King Zhao send people to ask for help from Qi was just to appease the soldiers in the city and prevent Zhao from being defeated by the Qin army so quickly. At the same time, he also knew very well that other countries were unwilling to send troops to assist Zhao. How could Qi offend the powerful Qin for a country that was about to perish?

These ministers were willing to risk their lives to come to him at this time, not just to tell him that Zhao Kingdom was about to perish!
Guo Kai looked at the many ministers in front of him in surprise, frowned and asked: "Speak frankly! What is your purpose of finding the truth this time?"

"Hahaha!"

The leading minister laughed a few times, cupped his hands and said: "The Prime Minister is really happy! To be honest, I am here to confiscate the property!"

"Confiscation?"

Guo Kai was slightly startled, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Could it be that these people came here to ask him to plead with King Zhao?
Then he continued: "The king has made it very clear in the palace just now, and you have all seen the king's attitude towards this matter with your own eyes. Even if it is the truth, he must hand over the family's savings."

"If you want me to plead for mercy, you should give up this idea as soon as possible and go back to your respective mansions to prepare. Wei Ke will go to your respective mansions to collect the money in a while."

After saying that, Guo Kai turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Guo Kai was about to leave, the minister immediately reached out his hand to stop him, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, we really don't want to hand over these savings. Now the fall of Zhao is imminent. Even if we hand over these savings, we can't stop the Qin army at all." offensive."

"But if we have these savings, even if the Qin army attacks, we can take advantage of the chaos and look for opportunities to escape among these people and find a place to enjoy our old age."

"Of course, our family's savings are far less wealthy than the Prime Minister's. If the Prime Minister is willing to confiscate our family's savings, we will naturally be willing to hand over our savings."

There was a hint in the minister's words.
