Chapter Eighty-Four: Parting Ways
Just entered Guo's mansion, and now I saw Guo Kai walking out of the inner room slowly, seeing Lu Buwei's arrival, Guo Kai smiled from time to time and greeted him.
"No, why are you interested in visiting Lord Ben today?"
"Buwei wants to visit adults all the time, but adults are busy with state affairs every day, so I don't have much time to see adults."
In a simple dialogue, the acting skills of both sides are very good, and the relationship between them is very good in an instant, and at this time, the prince An Guojun Yingzhu on the side entered Guo Kai's field of vision, and Guo Kai pretended not to know who it was, and then Lu Buwei handed over the gift he was holding in his hand: "Lord Guo, a little gift is not a tribute"
Guo Kai slowly took the gift, and said with fake emotion: "No, you! Ay... Every time I come to Guo's mansion, I will be polite, you and I are so familiar, this is really not necessary! ”
Hypocritical words, full of meaningless words, false and hypocritical enough, but officialdom is like this, this is no way, because the general trend is like this, on the other hand, in order to play a more perfect performance, of course Lu Buwei has to cater to Guo Kai: "Lord Guo is heartbroken for the sake of Zhao Guo, in order to be able to let the people of Li get a better life, the adults work hard day and night, and this small gift is just Lu Buwei on behalf of the people, thank Lord Guo for his hard work, if the adults do not accept this gift, That is, the people's kindness is rejected, how can the people's hard work be rejected thousands of miles away, if it is like this, it will hurt the hearts of the people, so it can't be done! Mr. Guo"
"How can there be anything, be polite" Guo Kai handed the gift to the retainers, and then thought in his heart that this Lu Buwei can really speak, of course, such an opportunity, for Guo Kai, is indeed very good, of course, Lu Buwei's heart can not be clear, this Guo Kai is really a smart person, first, let Lu Buwei fulfill the matter of King Zhao and the crown prince An Guojun, Guo Kai profits, and secondly, he can indirectly befriend the future King of Qin, and at the same time, he can leave a way out for himself in the future, in Qin, At the same time, he can also accept the gifts given to him by Lu Buwei.
At present, talents like Lü Buwei are rare, and taking this opportunity to firmly control Lü Buwei is indeed a greater joy, standardly, Guo Kai at this time can be said to be profitable from all sides, not just killing two birds with one stone, driving Lü Buwei to get acquainted with the prince of Qin, completing the task of King Zhao, and getting a package of gifts for others, this Guo Kai is simply a traitor who is rare to see in the ages.
Then Lü Buwei smiled, and at the same time did not have the slightest reluctance, in fact, even if Lü Buwei's heart was unhappy, Lü Buwei's bearing capacity was enough to digest the anger in front of him, because Lü Buwei knew very well that anyone who does great things must first understand what hard work is, and at the same time must have the will to be able to bear the bearing, and finally it is possible to counterattack in life and achieve great things, Lü Buwei is a person who does big things, so he will not take into account such trivial things.
"This is An Guojun, the crown prince of Qin"
Guo Kai pretended to be frightened, and suddenly, an expression of disappointment appeared falsely, Lu Buwei watched his performance, his heart was ridiculous, and he admired and sighed at the same time: "Lord Guo's performance is really powerful, Buwei really can't compare with it."
Then Guo Kai said loudly: "The noble prince of Qin came from afar, Guo Kai actually missed the welcome, and at the same time there are no beads, and there are pearls and they don't know Mount Tai, it is simply a doctor of Zhao State, the prince of Qin State wants to blame the stupid Guo Kai, come to the prince, my Guo Kai's mansion has good tea, please enjoy, please hurry up!" Prince An Guojun"
Seeing Guo Kai's actions, An Guojun suddenly looked dazed, and then replied: "Lord Guo is too enthusiastic, obviously he came down to Zhao without notifying your country, it is really rude, I don't know how to meet King Zhao."
Lü Buwei added: "An Guojun is polite, he came all the way to Zhao and brought a lot of valuable gifts, how can this be said to be rude."
"Haha, it seems that the prince is not rude, but too polite, first go to the cold house to get together, and then think about it in the long run"
An Guojun glanced at Lu Buwei, in fact, he was very satisfied with Lu Buwei's approach, of course, Lu Buwei saw from An Guojun's eyes, at the moment, An Guojun, the prince of Qin, was very satisfied with his performance, and in his heart, he said from time to time: "Father, this time Lu Buwei's investment is no longer a simple commodity, of course, Lu Buwei also firmly believes that things will be successful."
When he was young, in Guo Kai's mansion, An Guojun drank tea with Guo Kai, Lu Buwei and others, and drank heavily, and began to talk about his heart, because Guo Kai wanted to know the prince's voice at this time, so he was not drunk at all and pretended to be drunk, and the prince wanted to do his best to get things done, so alcoholism was just to cover himself, and at the same time entrusted Guo Kai to do things, even if he didn't agree, he would not lose face, and he could become drunk and talk nonsense, but if he succeeded, what he said would be done, and it would be a natural happy event.
"Lord Guo! To tell you the truth, this time the prince came to Zhao State...... But I'm here for my love and son."
"Oh?" Guo Kai pretended to be stupid, and then Lü Buwei also pretended to be stupid, and then the prince didn't understand how to communicate if he went to see King Zhao now.
"At present, the relationship between Qin and Zhao is good, and I don't want to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries at the same time because of my little family matter."
"The prince's words are not right, the Qin State is the King of Qin, and then it is the prince's, so the matter related to the prince is a family affair and a state affair, my Zhao State has neglected the prince's family, this is my Zhao King is not right, but in other words, in fact, it is not all to blame for my King Zhao, because the two countries of Qin and Zhao are neighbors, so it is inevitable that there will always be some battles, so it is understandable that King Zhao snubbed the prince's favorite concubine and children when the two sides were at odds, but my Zhao State experienced the first war of Yan not long ago, and there are many state affairs, and King Zhao has every opportunity. But he neglected this matter, which is really wrong but excusable, at least my king did not kill the two, and he can be regarded as able to give Qin Guo an explanation" After listening to Guo Kai's words.
Yingzhu wanted to know what way to solve this matter at the moment: "The method is very simple, that is, to tell King Zhao directly, King Zhao is benevolent, friendly and can change mistakes, so the prince does not need to be embarrassed to explain to King Zhao, it is okay to say, it is not an accusation but a reminder, and at the same time, it is not an indispensable gift for Zhao Wangbei, it is also a basic respect" Guo Kai looked at Yingzhu, and then An Guojun, the prince of Qin, looked at Lu Buwei, and a look said everything.
The prince replied, "That's easy to say."
Guo Kai smiled slightly, and then continued to drink happily with An Guojun, everyone knows their answer, why bother with trivial things, Guo Kai asked the maids of the mansion to come out to dance, from which An Guojun saw a woman, fair skin, and face like a peach blossom, looking very cute, An Guojun didn't know why, suddenly uncomfortable, and the woman who was favored by An Guojun also appeared in Guo Kai's field of vision, look at the dancing girl and then look at An Guojun, Guo Kai touched his beard from time to time, and then asked the dancing girl to come forward to pour wine for An Guojun.
The ambiguous emotions were bitterly suppressed, and then Guo Kai left under the pretext of drunkenness, and Lu Buwei also left with him, and came over to tell the housekeeper when he left, he must let the prince An Guojun have fun.
After the housekeeper knew, he specially whispered to a few dancing girls, and in this way, the guards retreated in turn, which was originally a place to eat, but it instantly turned into An Guojun's hedonistic garden in Handan, Zhao Kingdom, an unsightly scene, and then the camera turned to the palace of King Zhao.
King Zhao Xiaocheng had just bathed and changed clothes to prepare for a lunch break, but a servant of Guo Kai brought a letter, after wiping his hands clean, King Zhao Xiaocheng couldn't wait to see how things were doing, just at this time the messenger came to tell King Zhao, saying that the prince of Qin, An Guojun, came to see him, and looked for King Xiaocheng's face with a smile, and then the messenger said: "Lord Guo Kai also accompanied him, and the two of them held hands, which seemed very good."
In an instant, King Zhao Xiaocheng praised from time to time: "This Guo Kai, usually seems inconspicuous, I can't imagine that he still has such ability, this time the thing is done perfectly, this king is impressed by it"
The king has arranged the guards, ready to meet the prince An Guojun with a state gift, then on the other side, that is, Zhao Guoxiang Guolin Xiangru here, can be said to be very unhappy: "I can't imagine that such a thing was actually done by that villain Guo Kai, you know, in one dynasty, the villain's ambition can be said to be very dangerous, in the past, Guo Kai was not reused in front of the outside, but now Guo Kai is appreciated by King Zhao, so in the future, if the prime minister is not in the government and the opposition, then Guo Kai's heart can bring disaster to the country and the people, so go on, what should Zhao do." ”
The butler replied, "Master, are you too worried?"
"How can it be, what kind of person is this Guo Kai, you don't know Guo Kai, when this person looks at people, his eyes wander, he can't do anything except a little cleverness, and for a long time his mansion is simply used to disguise, to demonstrate his greed, in fact, this person is particularly greedy, bribes are no longer a few, ordinary corrupt officials will only love small interests, and this Guo Kai is different, he is not only corrupt and bribery, but as long as there is an opportunity, he will try to meet some envoys from other countries, in fact, look carefully, This Guo Kai should want to be more corrupt, then his spirit will sooner or later bring disaster to the country and the people, his greed is just for profit, maybe in the king's view, as long as he is fed, the essence is not, if Guo Kai controls the king, and can understand the overall situation, then in the future, Zhao Guo can be said to have an infinite amount of trouble, so that since then, hey, I also harmed Zhao Guo, and actually gave Guo Kai such an opportunity, so that he had a good chance to play on the topic" Lin Xiangru said.
But at this time, the retainer replied: "The lord thinks a lot, and he is more troubled than the tired, and it is harmful to his health if he goes on like this, and he is a villain who will always find opportunities, so why should the lord blame himself."
Lin Xiangru slowly walked towards the palace with a load-bearing pace, but at this time, who would have thought that Guo Kai had come to the palace early, of course, it has been the case since ancient times, the loyal ministers are worried about the country, and sentimentality, and in the end they may not necessarily be valued by the monarch, and the descendants of the traitors will be blessed for generations, unless they meet a Ming monarch, the mansion of the traitorous ministers will always be brilliant, but if it is a Ming monarch, the mansion of the loyal ministers will be full of brilliance, just like Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty, in the Zhao Dynasty, Qin Hui can be rampant, but in the back, That is, the most effective emperor Zhao Yan in the Southern Song Dynasty, he not only worked hard, but also rehabilitated Yue Fei, when Zhao Yan was in power, the Song Dynasty was very rich, and the people had enough food and clothing, and Zhao Yan was the seventh generation of Zhao Kuangyin's descendants, that is to say, Zhao Gou's adopted son Zhao Yan, the descendants of Zhao Guangyi returned the position to the descendants of his brother Zhao Kuangyin.
