"General Xiang Xian!"

Zhao Kuo suddenly spoke, Xiang Xian was stunned for a moment, stopped moving towards the king of Han, but looked at Zhao Kuo with a smile, Zhao Kuo looked at him, and said with a smile: "You are the general of the Chu State, and the reason why Chun Shenjun asked you to come to the rescue of South Korea is to let the people of the world know that the Chu State is an ally who will help him... In order to strengthen the alliance, if the alliance collapses, will you not be violating your mission? ”

"You are...", Xiang Xian looked at Zhao Kuo, not knowing what he had in mind.

Zhao Kuo looked at Xiang Yu and said with a smile: "Before I arrived in Korea, I didn't care about the alliance proposed by the Chu State, I just felt that it was just a strategy by the Chu State to realize its ambitions... However, I saw a lot of corpses on the way to Xinzheng, they were not starving to death, they were not dying of disease, they killed themselves, they gave up looking for food, they gave up their lives... This kind of desperation, I have seen it in Zhao Guo. ”

"If you know that there are allies who will come to your aid... Even if this reinforcement is besieged in Xinzheng, it will probably be able to save a lot of people. When he accompanied Xunzi to Qi State, Xunzi looked at the people on the road, and always said words that made him incomprehensible, with a look of pity and pain in his eyes, worried about the country and the people.

And now Zhao Kuo is very much like Xunzi at that time, Xiang Xian's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him sluggishly.

Zhao Kuo looked at King Han, King Han listened to their conversation, and there was only an unfathomable smile on his face, not alarmed, Zhao Kuo suddenly walked towards him, watching Zhao Kuo approaching him, King Han suddenly felt a little uneasy, and he immediately ordered: "Catch him!" The surrounding warriors raised their crossbows suddenly, and a warrior approached him with a short sword, Zhao Kuo was indifferent and walked towards these warriors proudly.

The Korean samurai looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him in horror, the short sword in his hand was trembling, Zhao Kuo just stared at the king of Han above, and walked directly into the middle of the Korean samurai, but the samurai retreated, not daring to let their weapons touch Zhao Kuo, just under the cold light of the Sensen crossbow, Zhao Kuo approached the king of Han step by step, and the king of Han saw those samurai who did not dare to start, and shouted: "If he gets closer, then shoot his disciples!" ”

Zhao Kuo stopped, looking at the samurai who aimed the strong crossbow at his disciples, he shook his head and said with emotion in broken Korean: "I led them, to save Korea, the second and third sons are all Korean warriors, Bai Qi is wreaking havoc outside, bullying innocent Koreans, the bow and crossbow of the second and third sons dare not aim at Bai Qi, but they want to shoot my disciples?" Don't the second and third sons feel ashamed? Zhao Kuo's gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing those Korean warriors.

"Knock~~", the young Korean warrior angrily dropped the crossbow in his hand, suddenly pulled out his short sword, and angrily plunged it into his chest, blood gushing, and he fell to the ground and died. The faces of the Korean warriors were a little sad, and they all aimed their short swords at themselves, Zhao Kuo was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "No! Cannot!! It's just that he didn't have time to stop it, so the warriors ended their young lives with the short swords that were originally aimed at Zhao Kuo.

The warriors fell to the ground, and the smell of blood filled the palace.

This incident in the palace frightened everyone, Zhao Kuo still maintained the appearance of stretching out his hand to dissuade, the whole person was motionless, and the original warriors who surrounded Zhao Kuo with strong crossbows were mostly lying on the ground at this moment, and the blood even flowed to Zhao Kuo's feet, was it because he was unwilling to hurt Zhao Kuo and could not complete King Han's order and committed suicide? Or committed suicide in shame because of Zhao Kuo's questioning?

Perhaps, they regarded Zhao Kuo's questioning as an insult.

Warring States people, can die, but not humiliated.

Not all the samurai died so sadly, there were still a few people standing, not very old, probably temporarily transferred to guard the palace, they looked at the corpses of their colleagues around them, they were trembling, they didn't know what was going on, they didn't know what was going on, they didn't know what to do, the Tongze people died, and they couldn't continue to live with shame, they aimed their short swords at themselves, but they didn't have the courage to stab down, and they cried in fear.

"Arrest them and don't let them kill themselves." , Zhao Kuo commanded.

Hearing Zhao Kuo's order, Yang Duan and them quickly stepped forward and subdued these Korean warriors who had no combat effectiveness at all, and Zhao Kuo raised his head and looked at King Han. Xiang Xian was already completely confused, he didn't understand what was going on until now, Zhao Kuo just said a word, and let these warriors commit suicide because of the humiliation? The most shocked was King Han, King Han's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him blankly, where is the widowed warrior?

Zhao Kuo stepped on those blood stains and walked in front of King Han.

Zhao Kuo lowered his head, condescendingly, looking down at King Han in front of him, King Han raised his head to look at Zhao Kuo, his heart was a little angry, he has always been high, he doesn't like this feeling of being looked down on, he also stood up, wanting to scold the rude Zhao Kuo, but, even if he stood up, he would be a head shorter than Zhao Kuo, and he could only look up at Zhao Kuo in front of him.

"I knew that Bai Qi's army was coming, and I didn't want the people to flee into the city, but I gathered soldiers from all over the country in Xinzheng... Let the defenses of various places be useless, let me ask you, if there are thousands of defensive forces in various cities in Korea, equipped with strong crossbows, and Bai Qi has less than 10,000 soldiers, can he kill the people in the city? Zhao Kuo asked, at that moment, King Han was furious, he pointed at Zhao Kuo in front of him, and said angrily: "How dare you call the widow without honorifics?" ”

"Knock~~", Zhao Kuo smashed his fist on King Han's face, at that moment, King Han's face seemed to bloom, nosebleeds splashed, King Han fell down with a miserable howl, Zhao Kuo bent down and grabbed his neck and lifted him up again. Zhao Kuo's disciples, and even Xiang Xian of the Chu State, were all stunned at the moment, Ma Fujun... Fang just punched King Han??? Xiang first rubbed his eyes and looked at Ma Fujun incredulously.

Although it is a period of bad etiquette, but the etiquette between the nobles is still very important, I have heard of someone killing the king, but I have never heard of someone insulting the king, let alone directly punching and beating... Is this still the benevolent and righteous gentleman they know? Zhao Kuo only felt angry at the moment, looking at the stupid thing in front of him who had killed countless Koreans, smelling the pungent smell of blood in the air, and his eyes were extremely cold.

King Han was really scared, looking at the angry young man in front of him, he only felt dizzy, since his father died, no one had ever dared to do this to him again, but he couldn't expose his cowardice in front of everyone, he trembled and said: "If the world knows your actions!" Everyone will spurn you, even King Zhao can't tolerate you! How dare you be so rude to the monarch of a country?! ”

Zhao Kuo was still calm, just looked at King Han in front of him, and asked coldly: "I never didn't care about my reputation, and I don't care what people in the world think of me, let alone how future generations will talk about me, it's just that a virtuous king like you, people will definitely laugh at you in the future!" Han Wang suddenly felt a chill all over his body, he lowered his voice, and defended: "Widow.. A widow is not a virtuous monarch..."

Zhao Kuo grabbed King Han, pressed him to his seat, and sat beside him, then looked at the people below, looked at the surprised disciples, Zhao Kuo said seriously: "Mencius said: The king treats the courtiers as siblings, and the ministers should treat the king sincerely; When the king treats his courtiers like dogs and horses, the ministers treat the king as an ordinary person; If the king sees the minister as insignificant, then the minister can treat the king as an enemy. ”

"But I am not the minister of the King of Han, what I want to tell you is the attitude towards others, for the good people who are kind and benevolent, I hope that the second and third sons can treat them sincerely regardless of their humble status, and for the cruel and cunning wicked, I hope that the second and third sons can also treat them like enemies, regardless of how high his status is. Treat the good with benevolence and righteousness, and treat the wicked without virtue with the dagger they wear. ”

"I have never despised a farmer who works in the land, but if a farmer who is covered in mud all day long has done a good deed, then he is more worthy of respect than a king who is in such a high position and who harms the people, and if he is a craftsman, who can raise the widows and orphans, and give his little food to others, I can also respect him as a king. Some people are born to be kings, while others grow up in the cultivated land, which is something that people cannot decide. ”

"But we can decide something more important than this, a person from humble background can also become a saint through his own actions, increase his talents through learning, help those in need, be honest and kind, and be able to not submit to and brutal enemies, this is what Xunzi said that everyone can be holy..."

The disciples listened carefully to Zhao Kuo's words, that is, Xiang Xian, and also put on a deferential speech, he has always held the bloodline theory of the Chu State, and he is very disdainful of Xunzi's statement that everyone can be holy, but at this moment, after seeing the actions of King Han and looking at the warriors who fell in a pool of blood, his heart was a little shaken, and he found that he no longer dared to refute this set of statements!

These disciples who came to Zhao Kuo originally came to learn from him about war and learn the law, but at this moment, listening to Zhao Kuo's teachings, they seemed to have left their minds behind, just listened carefully, Yang Duanhe picked up the pen and wanted to record, although the King of Qin sent him to record the law, not these moral teachings, but for some reason, he just wanted to write it down, and he didn't have to send it back to Qin, just stay by his side.

Seeing that Zhao Kuo suddenly began to lecture, King Han looked at him, and then at those disciples, only feeling that it was a great shame! He was a dignified monarch, he was beaten in the palace, such a villain, and so many people want to learn morality from him? Do you want to learn how to commit a beating?!

"Because the status of the wicked is high, they dare not dissuade, prevent, or punish, how can such a person be said to be an upright person? It is also wrong to kill such a wicked person without going through the way of the law, the law I am talking about is to restrict everyone, so that a monarch like King Han cannot damage the country at will, there is a country, there are several generations of Ming monarchs, as long as there is a generation of tyrants, kill their brothers and sisters, arbitrarily change the law, and persecute the people, the efforts of several generations of Ming monarchs will be in vain. ”

"The role of the law is like this, he is the tool of the ruler to rule, but the ruler I am talking about is not the monarch of the country, all the people in a country who have received the favor of the state, are the people in the part of the country, they are all rulers, and the quality of the law depends on his help to the ruler, the will of the state is not the will of the king, is the law of Shang Yang only beneficial to the king?"

"Looking at the doctrine of Shen Bu Harm and the doctrine of Shang Ying, Shen Bu Harm's doctrine serves the king, regards the king as the center of law change, and regards the king as the will of the country, while Shang Ying's doctrine is beneficial to the entire Qin State, and regards the entire Qin State as the ruler of the country, so the doctrine of Shen Bu Harm makes Korea weaker and weaker, but Shang Ying's doctrine makes the Qin State more and more powerful, which is the misunderstanding of the ruler of the world."

"If the king does not see this, but acts recklessly as a state, and institutes a system that is not beneficial to the state but to the king, then this is the beginning of the weakening of the state."

Han Fei raised his head, sparks burning in his eyes, and quickly recorded Zhao Kuo's words. Not all of Zhao Kuo's disciples understood Zhao Kuo's theory, but after Zhao Kuo compared Korea with Qin, they looked at the King of Han with a blue nose and swollen face, and nodded subconsciously, what the teacher said seemed to be very reasonable. Han Fei's heart suddenly brightened, all systems and laws should serve the country and the people in the country, not the king.

Han Fei suddenly felt that he understood a lot, what he had hesitated before, what he was entangled with, disappeared without a trace, Han Fei finished recording, and bowed in the direction of Zhao Kuo, the other disciples may not have so many feelings, but seeing that Han Fei was bowing and seeing, they also hurriedly followed Han Fei to salute. Zhao Kuo looked at King Han on the side and said to him: "I know, you have a way to contact Bai Qi, please send someone to tell Bai Qi..."

"Tell him that I have been held hostage by you, and if Bai Qi does not leave Korea, you will kill me."

King Han looked at him in horror and said, "The widow has no way to contact Bai Qi..."

Zhao Kuo raised his fist.

"The widow will do it!" , King Han screamed in fright, and Zhao Kuo put down his fist. He looked at the corpses in the palace, sighed, and said to Han Fei, "Take them out for burial... I didn't expect that my words could force them to death...", he looked at King Han beside him again, and said, "You want to learn from me how to govern the country?" ”

King Han looked at him in horror and shook his head.

"Don't shirk, I still think I should talk to you about how to govern the country, your previous method was wrong."

In the fifty-seventh year of the reign of King Zhen, in the first month, Bai attacked Han and Li. Zifa pawned Zuo Han, and then wanted to be captured. beat the king with a punch, saying "no virtue". ——— "Horse Suit"
