Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 91

Li Yuan calmed down, and said: "Li Yuan didn't read many books, and all his life he respected learned people. There are thousands of diners, many of whom are scholars. Li Yuan has always thought that if he could write the talents of these scholars on the slips Wouldn't it be beautiful to become the words of a family. Didn't Lu Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, just write "Lu Shi Chunqiu"? Li Yuan also wants to follow his example and make a book. Today, I heard that there is such a capable person who can tell stories. Think, if you can get his help, can this book still be written well?"

Although Lu Buwei and Li Yuan have different talents, their means are similar.As for Qin Shihuang's life experience, no one can tell whether his surname is Ying or Lu. It has become an eternal mystery and it is difficult to draw a conclusion.However, Li Yuan's theft of the country is not the case, and it has been proved to be true by later generations.

His reaction was really not slow, and he made up a seamless lie in a sip. Zhou Chong couldn't help admiring him in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mr. ..."

"Zhu Ying!" Li Yuan blurted out.

Zhou Chong slapped his hands together, and said, "That's right, it's Zhu Ying! Oh, I really didn't expect him to have such a great reputation, even the Prime Minister knows about it."

Zhu Ying, an insider who slipped through the net, Li Yuan wanted to kill him all the time, but couldn't find him. Unexpectedly, there was news. He was very happy, and continued to make up stories, saying: "Master Zhou doesn't know something, this Zhu Ying is very famous. He is eloquent, and the stories he tells are humorous and absurd. I have heard his name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him."

"Oh, so that's the case." Zhou Chong continued to pretend.

Li Yuan asked anxiously: "Master Zhou, where is Zhu Ying now?"

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "Although Zhou Chong didn't know that Zhu Ying had such a talent, Zhou Chong felt that he was not an ordinary person. He told a good story. I hope that if the king is tired of dealing with state affairs, he can listen to his story. It's good to rest for a while, so I sent someone to send him to the Great Qin Kingdom."

If Zhu Ying went to Qin, if he didn’t hold him in the hands of the King of Qin, it would be a piece of cake to kill him. Li Yuan really wanted to punch Zhou Chong, and asked: “Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, is Zhu Ying going?” How long has it been?"

He wanted to find out clearly and sent an assassin to kill Zhu Ying.However, Zhou Chong's answer disappointed him greatly. Zhou Chong thought for a while and said, "If it's slow, we've already reached the Qin state, if it's fast, we're already telling the king a story."

In the territory of Qin State, he was beyond reach.Especially Zhou Chong's words with ulterior motives "tell the king a story" made his heart skip a beat. He suppressed his beating heart and said, "I miss Li Yuanfuqian, I can't see this strange man." A sigh came alive On paper, anyone who sees it will be convinced.

Zhou Chong is also a person who can act, so he comforted him: "Master Xiang, don't sigh, I, Da Qin and Da Chu have always been friends, and the marriage of generations, is it not the same in Qin and Chu?"

These words are comforting at first glance, but they are actually reminding Li Yuan that it is time for you to give the price. The price you give is appropriate. Don’t worry, Zhu Ying will not say it. If the price you give is not appropriate, it will be hard to say. .How could Li Yuan not understand, he stretched out his right index finger, and said, "Master Zhou, how about this number?"

Looking at his fingers, Zhou Chong asked in confusion, "Master Xiang, what is this number?"

"City, ten cities." Li Yuan knew that Zhou Chong was pretending, so he couldn't do without pointing it out, so he said bluntly.

Zhou Chong was puzzled, and said: "Thank you for your kindness. I, Zhou Chong, am just an emissary on the run. I don't have a title, so I dare not have a fief. Besides, there are so many ten cities, how dare I want them."

Li Yuan gritted his teeth with hatred, and said, "It's not for your lord, it's for the Great Qin Kingdom."

Zhou Chong was in the same attitude as before, and said: "Oh. Zhou Chong heard that if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something. The Prime Minister is so respectful and bribed my Daqin, and it must be useful for my Daqin. Please also ask the Prime Minister Make it clear."

Li Yuan corrected: "It's not a gift, it's a dowry. Chu is the largest country in the world. If a princess marries Daqin, without a generous dowry, she will not have the grandeur and prestige of a big country. What do Master Zhou think?"

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "Chu is indeed a big country. Once it is done, it is extraordinary. It costs ten cities to marry a princess. However, there is no such precedent in the marriages of my Great Qin Dynasty. I'm afraid it won't work."

Li Yuan took Zhou Chong's hand, pretended to be affectionate, patted the back of Zhou Chong's hand, and said, "I was wrong, it's Tang Muyi for the princess, not a dowry."

"As long as Chu State is willing, I, Da Qin, have no choice but to accept it." Zhou Chong was very straightforward, and said, "May I ask Xiangguo, why do you rely on it?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "When the court discusses it in the future, the king will issue an edict."

No one can change the order, Zhou Chong said with a smile: "That's good, that's good. May I ask Mr. Xiang, where is the best place for this city?"

"What do Master Zhou think is better?" Li Yuan asked Zhou Chong instead of answering the question.

Zhou Chong smiled slightly, and said, "Master Xiang, you are offending me. This is a matter of your Chu State, how dare I talk too much."

Li Yuan pondered slightly: "The land of Jingxiang, the ten most fertile cities, what do Master Zhou think?"

Zhou Chongxun said: "Master Xiang, this is a matter for your Chu country. I really can't say anything more, as long as the princess likes it."

Li Yuan smiled until there was only a small slit left in his eyes, and said, "That is, that is."

Zhou Chong didn't need to pay a single soldier for this dirty deal, and it didn't even have any smell. He just told him a story, and he did it quietly. It's a masterpiece.

Zhou Chong naturally knew what to do next, and said: "I heard that there are delicacies from mountains and seas in Xiangye's house. The delicacies are delicious, and the dishes are delicious. I haven't eaten yet, and I want to disturb Xiangye. Leave me, the uninvited eater."

It's not that Zhou Chong is gluttonous and likes delicacies, but he has to. Staying for a meal and making friends can calm Li Yuan's heart.Of course, Zhou Chong has another plan, that is, the extortion has only just begun, and it is not over yet, so it will continue at the dinner.

Li Yuan didn't know Zhou Chong's plan. As Zhou Chong expected, he said happily: "Master Zhou, you are too serious. I am very happy that a distinguished guest like you can come to my house. Look at me, I was so busy talking, I forgot to give orders. Come on, get ready, I want to entertain Mr. Zhou."

The servants responded and took care of themselves.

But after a while, the servants reported that the banquet was ready.After the deal was completed, Li Yuan was in high spirits. He took Zhou Chong's hand and said, "Let's go!" walking ahead excitedly.

Looking at Li Yuan who was very excited, Zhou Chong thought in his heart: "Have fun, I want you to taste the food later and make it hard to swallow."
