Ten days later, Gan Mao came to Yingdu as a Qin envoy.

Next.

In the Chu Palace.

Gan Mao bowed to Xiong Huai and said: "King, Qin and Chu have been married for generations, and when the former kings were there, they sighed about it, hoping that Qin and Chu could borrow their in-laws again." It's just that, unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding between Qin and Chu, and the first king was worried that the king would misunderstand Qin too deeply, so he didn't dare to open his mouth to the king. ”

Now, the misunderstanding between Qin and Chu has been resolved, and the widow often sighs when he thinks of the friendship between Qin and Chu in the past. Not long ago, the widow heard that the princess of Chu was virtuous and virtuous, and she had already passed the marriage, but she had not yet married. It just so happened that the first king's side room of the Mi clan asked the widow, hoping to ask for a Chu girl as the wife of Gongziji. ”

"Shiyun: My fair lady and gentleman are good. The widow hopes that the king can not regard the remoteness of our country and the inferiority of the king's younger brother, and can marry a woman as a wife, and the two countries of Qin and Chu can remarry. ”

The matter of the marriage between Qin and Chu, the two countries have already communicated, and now it is just a formal formality.

As soon as Gan Mao finished speaking, Xiong Huai immediately responded: "Qin and Chu have been marrying continuously since my ancestor King Zhao, and now Qin and Chu have abandoned their contradictions and reconciled, which is also the wish of the widow." ”

"King Qin's request, the widow agreed."

Gan Mao was overjoyed when he heard this, and arched his hand and said: "The minister bows to the king, so that the minister can go back with confidence and report the good news to the widow." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard that Gan Mao was about to return to Qin.

I'm about to win over Gan Mao! As a result, he was leaving.

This...

Forcibly leaving Gan Mao in the Chu State, this will definitely not work!

But if Gan Mao is allowed to leave, how can he win it over?

I'm afraid it's too late for general means of wooing.

Now, then, extraordinary means can only be used in extraordinary times!

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai opened his mouth and asked, "Could it be that Gan Qing plans to return to Qin State now?" ”

Gan Mao nodded and said: "The king, the widow regarded the marriage between Qin and Chu as the most important thing in the Qin State, so the minister rushed all the way to Yingdu to ask the king. ”

"Now that the widow's wish has been fulfilled, the minister, as a courtier, naturally has to be anxious about the widow's urgency, and pass the news to the widow as soon as possible, thinking that the widow will solve his worries!"

Xiong Huai nodded, then sighed.

Gan Mao heard the sigh of the king of Daochu from a distance, thinking that something was wrong with him, in order to avoid the twists and turns in the marriage, he immediately asked: "Why is the king sighing, but what is wrong with the minister?" ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and smiled: "No, the widow saw Gan Qing coming in a hurry, and left in a hurry, dedicated to relieving the worries of King Qin, which can be described as loyal and loyal to state affairs!" ”

Gan Mao breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "The king has praised it, the food of the king bears the worries of the king, and the minister is just doing his duty as a courtier!" ”

"Good, good! What a courtier. Xiong Huai sighed: "If it is a country of widows, everyone is like Ganqing, the courtiers can do their duty to be loyal to the state, and the soldiers can also do their duty to be fearless even if they die. ”

Listening to the words of the King of Chu, Gan Mao couldn't help but nodded, if all the ministers and people of that country can perform their duties, then the country will definitely be governed.

It's just that as long as it's a human being, who doesn't have selfishness, such a country will always exist only in the pen and ink of the sons, and in reality, this does not exist.

Even the state of Qin, a country that claims to have the only way out of war, the ministers in the country also have their own thoughts, and various factions of pro-Chu, pro-Wei and pro-Han emerge in an endless stream, generally for the sake of their own country, and in general, that is personal selfishness. Even if it is the King of Qin, is it just for the Qin State wholeheartedly?

Gan Mao remembered the relationship between King Qin and Zhang Yi after the end of the war against Qin, and shook his head silently in his heart.

Although his heart turned back and forth, Gan Mao still bowed respectfully and said, "The king said that he laughed. Today, the country of Chu is the strongest, in the past, the countries would be allied, and the three Jin Dynasty jointly promoted the king as the leader of the alliance, and now the Qin state has surrendered to the king, while the Qi country has been frustrated many times in the hands of the king. It can be said that now the king is the real overlord. ”

"Doesn't this just show that the great king is the king of Chu, and the ministers and people of Chu are all performing their duties? If not, how can the king become the overlord, and why should the nations look to the king! ”

"Hahaha..." Xiong Huai laughed when he heard this: "The widow still has self-knowledge, Gan Qing should not comfort the widow." ”

Gan Mao hurriedly said: "King, the minister's words are from the bottom of his heart, and there is no lie. ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and smiled, and then asked, "I heard that Gan Qing is a Cai from the Chu State?" I studied in history! ”

Gan Mao was stunned for a moment, and responded: "Back to the king, that's exactly the case." ”

Xiong Huai sighed: "If the widow is really as Gan Qing said, benevolence and virtue are all over the world, why should Gan Qing give up the near and seek the farthest away, and go thousands of miles to Qin to be an official!" ”

"Therefore, this is the lack of virtue of the widow, not only can he not summon the great sages from afar, but even the talents of his own country are missing!"

"This..."

These words were praised by the King of Chu at any time, but he did not dare to take them easily.

It's impossible to tell the King of Chu here that he lacks talent and can only go away, right?

If so, where is the Qin State?

As for admitting that the King of Chu is not virtuous, this is even more impossible!

Just when Gan Mao was thinking about how to answer the King of Chu, Xiong Huai smiled slightly: "Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters, which is also human nature, which can only show the shortcomings of widows." It's just that the widow has lost the great sage in the country, which is the regret of the widow. ”

"The widow plans to make up for his regrets today, and wants to drink with Gan Qing, I wonder if the widow is honored by this?"

Gan Mao was stunned, the king gave food, this is a gift to the courtiers, and he can't refuse, so he is grateful: "This is the honor of the ministers." ”

Drunk, Xiong Huai looked at Gan Mao, who was not half drunk, and said with a smile: "Gan Qing, Qing is a Chu person, Qing's teachers, friends, relatives and friends gather in Chu State, and Qing is just a guest in Qin State, and the widow wants to worship you as the Secretary of Chu State, and trust each other with state affairs, I don't know if Gan Qing can be interested?" ”

Gan Mao was stunned.

King Chu is trying to win me over!

Not to mention his current status in the Qin State, it is the current situation in the Chu State, which is also impossible.

Thinking about it, Gan Mao bowed and said, "Thanks to the king's love, the minister should not have shirked." However, the place where the king values the ministers is nothing more than the loyalty of the ministers, if the Qin State is now symmetrical and has the grace of knowledge, if the ministers turn their backs on the Qin State and return to the Chu State, isn't this a loss of loyalty? ”

"In this way, what face does the minister have to be the minister of the king? Therefore, the minister can only thank the king for his love, and dare not discard the place where the king values the minister the most! ”

Xiong Huai sighed when he heard this: "This is a blessing for the widow." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai said to Gan Mao again: "The widow is willing to give Gan Qing a hundred gold, and he is willing to have fellowship with Gan Qing." ”

Gan Mao frowned, this King of Chu's means of winning people over is too low-level, isn't it an official position or money?

Thinking about it, he continued to excuse himself: "The king, if you don't have merit, you won't be rewarded, and the ministers don't dare to be rewarded." ”
