"The foreign minister is exempt from courtesy."
Ying Zheng was dozens of steps away and didn't even stand up. He just supported Guo Kai on his seat, with a rather arrogant attitude.
First, negotiation requires capital.
Although Guo Kai didn't know how much capital he had, he had to use his arrogant attitude to make Guo Kai understand that no matter how much capital he had, he needed strength as a backing.
Ying Zheng's attitude will reduce the value of the capital Guo Kai holds.
Secondly, Ying Zheng is now truly satisfied!
Just imagine that the old enemy of your mother country, the old enemy that your great-grandfather, grandfather, and father have not conquered for three generations, is about to face complete destruction in your own hands. How can you not feel complacent?
Moreover, this old enemy once bullied him and his mother, who were hostages more than ten years ago. The feeling of trampling an enemy underfoot is indeed extremely pleasant.
After sitting down with each other, Guo Kai also revealed his purpose of coming to the Qin Army camp today.
It was impossible to sue for peace. Even the outlying cities in Handan were captured by the Qin army. Only an isolated city and tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers were left. The reason why Handan has not fallen yet is only because we have to wait for Ying Zheng to come to the front line in person. I watched this city be captured by the Qin army with my own eyes.
"I came here to beg you, your Majesty, to preserve my bloodline."
Guo Kai also had a clear understanding of this. He understood that Li Mu could not stop the Qin army, so the last thing he could do for Zhao Wangyan was to preserve his bloodline, that is, the eldest son Zhao Jia and the second son Zhao Qian And prostitution.
"How to preserve it?"
"Imitate Wei Junyuan, my lord can demote himself to the rank of king, change his name to Zhao Jun, and use several cities as Zhao Jun's fiefdom."
Guo Kai looked at Ying Zheng with burning eyes. This was the result Guo Kai most desired and the best result for the Zhao royal family.
Ying Zheng sneered, and all the generals in the tent were sneering.
A few dishes. Is there any famous official from Zhao who has as much influence on Qin as Lord Shang?
The reason why Qin still maintains such an attitude towards Wei is because of Lord Shang.
In the 800 years since the founding of Qin, there has never been a person who had such a profound influence on Qin as Lord Shang. The people of Qin were grateful for Lord Shang's kindness in strengthening the country, so they were naturally tolerant to Wei.
Furthermore, it’s because of Gongsun Li.
Gongsun Yu was also a member of the Wei clan, and his granddaughter Gongsun Li was also named the Princess of Wei by Wei Junyuan, and married Zhang Ji, a real favorite of the King of Qin and an important minister of the Qin State. Wei Junyuan recruited many people for the Qin State. The former defenders of the country served for both public and private reasons for retaining the protection of the country.
But Zhao Guo?
"Isn't it possible that Prime Minister Guo is going to send the prostitute to warm my Luonan Jun's bed?"
Qiang Yu couldn't help but laugh loudly and teased Zhao Guo.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent became a little strange.
Zhang Ji narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qiang Yu, a guy who spoke freely.
Even though Qiang Yu commanded calmly on the battlefield, much calmer than Li Xin, after leaving the battlefield, he could not hide the bold and wanton temper of the Qiang people, and often said unbridled words.
As soon as Qiang Yu finished speaking, all the generals couldn't help laughing. Even Wang Yan and Wang Jian winked at Zhang Ji and laughed loudly without any scruples. Ying Zheng was no exception. .
Well, the one with the worst expression is Zhang Ji, the protagonist of the topic. Zhao Ji, who is sitting next to Ying Zheng, is secretly resentful. In contrast, Guo Kai's face doesn't have any unnecessary expressions. He doesn't seem to be worried about Qiang Xing at all. Moved by words.
"Qiang Xuan teased the general and asked for twenty military sticks." Zhang Ji finally couldn't hold it back and gave Qiang Xuan a kick in public. Then he glanced at the general in the tent angrily and said, "The two countries are discussing important matters in the military tent. , How can you behave like this when you are playing like this? Those who smiled just now will go and get the ten army sticks afterwards."
Of course, Zhang Ji's punishment targets were only those with lower official positions than him. Naturally, Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei, Wang Yan, Wang Jian and others could not be punished.
As for the generals, most of them are skilled in martial arts. The Ten Army Stick is nothing to them. To them, it is just scratching an itch. In fact, it is to stop everyone from continuing to tease him. Just Guo Kai.
Seeing that Zhang Ji's defense was somewhat broken, everyone quickly stopped smiling, but Zhao Ji, who had looked so unkind just now, smiled.
The topic was brought back to the negotiation matters by Wang Wan, the imperial censor. Ying Zheng also expressed his attitude. Guo Kai's request was impossible.
In fact, Guo Kai's conditions are not excessive. Ying Zheng and the ministers understand the principle of two kings and three Kes.
It can be traced back to the time when Yu and Shun took Yao's son Danzhu as his guest; Xia Yu granted Danzhu to Tang, and Shun's son Shang Jun to Yu. They all do not use courtesy as a minister, but as a guest. After the Battle of Muye, King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty entrusted the descendants of the Yellow Emperor to the state of Chen after Ji and Yao, and to the state of Chen after Zhu and Shun, which meant "the rise and fall of the country and the succession of the peerless world".
In ancient times, there was the etiquette of "two kings and three ke", which means treating the descendants of the previous royal family favorably, calling them "two queens, queens, and three ke", giving princes titles, giving them fiefs, and offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple to show respect, show the lineage inherited by the dynasty, and indicate the orthodox status. .
Even though the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Yin Shang Dynasty, it treated the Yin Shang nobles favorably, and made the eldest brother of King Zhou the Duke of Song Dynasty and granted him a small land.
Therefore, although hundreds of vassal states have been destroyed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, most of the descendants of the kings of those vassal states enjoy extremely high treatment even today.
What Guo Kai meant was that Qin treated the Zhao royal family well, firstly, to set an example for other countries and reduce the resistance of other royal families, and secondly, to demonstrate benevolence and righteousness, and to increase the evaluation of Qin in history books.
Therefore, after the Qin State conquered and destroyed the Duke of Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it moved Ji Jie, Lord Huiwen of Eastern Zhou Dynasty, who was acting as the emperor, and most of the clan surnamed Ji to Yangrenju, and treated them kindly as a fiefdom for the Zhou family.
However, although Qiang Yu was somewhat unabashed in his words, his words also represented the will of the Qin army soldiers from a certain perspective.
Lord Shang made great contributions to Qin, and the princess of Wei, Gongsun Li, married Zhang Ji. Therefore, the lieutenants of the army, even Meng Ao, who personally led the army to destroy the Wei, recognized the survival of Wei, but why did Zhao have it?
In the Battle of Changping, 450,000 Zhao soldiers were killed and killed, but the Qin army's casualties were no less than 200,000, not including the civilian casualties.
The land that was about to be captured by Qin fell into the hands of Zhao for no apparent reason. Only then did Qin send troops to fight Zhao, killing and wounding more than 200,000 Qin people.
Therefore, the people of Zhao hate Qin, and the people of Qin also hate Zhao deeply.
Therefore, both publicly and privately, it is impossible for Ying Zheng to deal with Zhao State in the same way as Wei State, otherwise it will hurt the hearts of the Qin army officers and soldiers.
Seeing Ying Zheng's decisive attitude, Guo Kai was a little disappointed, but he still wanted to fight for it, so he leaned down and worshiped: "I will ask the new Lord Zhao to go to Xianyang in person, proclaim himself a minister to the King of Qin in person, and swear to be a minister of Qin from generation to generation. No two minds.”
"Don't you see Duke Lin of Jin and Duke Jing of Jin?"
A feminine voice sounded behind Zhang Jiji. Guo Kai suddenly changed his color and looked at the speaker angrily.
Who is Jin Linggong?
Zhao Dun killed his king, and this king was Duke Linggong of Jin.
Jin Jinggong was the king of Jin when the three families were divided into Jin, and he was also the last king of Jin.
This is heart-wrenching words!
"My subordinate Zhao Gao is a retainer of Lord Luonan."
Zhao Gao was not afraid of Guo Kai, and after bowing to everyone, he lowered his head and continued to finish the attack: "Gao is worried, in the past, Zhao Dun killed the king, Zhao Liehou divided the Jin, and the Six Ministers of Jin and the three families divided the Jin. In front of me, the people of Zhao have been ministers of Qin for generations, and they have absolutely no two intentions. Can you believe it?"
The rest of the people in the tent were also stunned and looked sideways at Zhao Gao behind Zhang Ji.
Even Zhang Ji glanced at Zhao Gao with some surprise. This sentence had the meaning of adding insult to injury, and it hit Guo Kai's face hard.
The Six Ministers of Jin and Tian Chang of Qi can be said to be the most feared old example by the princes of all countries in the world.
Although the Zhao clan has the same ancestor as the Qin clan, there was the violence of regicide first and then the evil of carving up the land of Jin, which really makes people feel uneasy. Zhao Gao's words can be regarded as a complete end to the tyranny of many people, such as Wang Wan, the imperial censor. The thoughts in the minds of civil servants who rarely think that Guo Kaizhi's words are feasible.
Zhao Gao's words completely elevated this matter to safeguarding Ying Zheng's royal power.
Even this topic cannot be restarted, otherwise Ying Zheng has every reason to question whether the person who restarted this topic has second thoughts about the Qin State, and will never be stingy about sending all the clans of people who have second thoughts to see him Their underground ancestors.
