Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 373: Three families are divided into three families, Guo Kai’s wisdom (please vote for me!!!)

After Li Huai and Guo Yuan discussed the specific response to Chen Ping and preparations to attack those families, Guo Yuan left Li Mansion, leaving only Li Huai standing at the door of Li Mansion to greet Chen Ping.

After Guo Yuan left Li Mansion, he turned around and walked into a small alley. Someone opened a door. Guo Yuan walked straight in. Inside, a man dressed in rich clothes saluted Guo Yuan.

"Brother Guo."

"Brother Ju." Guo Yuan returned the greeting.

The person who greeted Guo Yuan was Ju Wen, the head of the Ju family and Ju Wu's cousin.

"It's been prepared inside, and the opera brother is in the house." Ju Wen said.

"Please!"

The two walked into an attic hand in hand. After walking up to the second floor, a man was sitting cross-legged on the bed. There were some fruits, vegetables and fine wine on the table in front of the man.Men are the clansmen of dramatists, and the descendants of dramatists are in the sky.

After seeing Guo Yuan and Ju Wen arriving, the director Kong smiled lightly and said
"You two are finally here."

"I gave my incompetent nephew a few more instructions, which delayed me for a while." Guo Yuan sat across from Ju Changkong and said.

"No rush, Chen Ping hasn't arrived yet." Ju Changkong glanced out the window and said.

The window of this attic is facing the door of Li's Mansion. Outside the window, Li Huai and his servants are standing outside Li's Mansion, waiting for Chen Ping's arrival.

"Brother Guo, didn't you tell Li Huai our plan?" Ju Zhangkong said looking at Li Huai outside.

Guo Yuan shook his head and said
"Of course not. My nephew is too young to be Chen Ping's opponent. I'm afraid that after telling him, Chen Ping will guess something from his words."

"Brother Guo is very cautious. As a boy of the Qin family, it would be great if Qin Wuyang was [-]% as cautious as Brother Guo. A descendant of a general actually hangs out with those knights all day long, thinking that he is ruling the lord and eliminating evil. If If I hadn't sent someone to rescue him, he would have been captured by the Qin army at this moment, and our plan might have failed." Ju Wen said with an ugly face.

"What did that kid from the Qin family do again?" Ju Zhangkong asked nervously.

"A few days ago, he took some rangers to attack the county magistrate's office in Xia County. They were discovered by the Qin army on the way. Those rangers were killed without even blocking the Qin army's charge. And if Qin Wuyang hadn't been scared out of his wits by the Qin army, saw that the situation was not going well, abandoned the rangers and ran away, met my guards, and was rescued by my guards, I am afraid that he would have been the leader of the Qin army at this moment.

Not only will Qin Wuyang lose his head, I am afraid that in order to protect himself, he will betray us and tell the Qin army that we are going to unite to regain the Yan Kingdom! Ju Wen said with anger in his eyes.

If anything goes wrong in the rebellion, everything will be lost and the whole family will lose their heads.After the surrender of the Yan State, the three Guo and Ju families have been secretly planning to regain the Yan State. However, the three families alone cannot fight against the tens of thousands of Qin troops under Li Xin, so they have been secretly recruiting everyone they can.

Because of the implementation of the Qin Law, the powerful people of the old Yan Kingdom lost their previous privileges, so the three families were very successful in wooing the powerful people. Their rebellion had reached the final stage. At the critical moment, Qin Wuyang was almost arrested. Naturally, Making Ju Wen angry.

"I often hear people say that Qin Wuyang of the Qin family is very courageous. He dared to kill people in the street at the age of 13. How could he be scared out of his courage by the Qin army?" Li Huai asked curiously.

Everyone in Jicheng had heard about Qin Wuyang's murder on the street at the age of 13, and people praised Qin Wuyang's courage.

"When my guard saw him, he was in his pants, and his eyes were full of fear. I don't know how such a person can be called courageous? We shouldn't have informed the Qin family about our important events. They almost broke it. It's our big deal." Ju Wen said angrily.

"The general Qin Kai of the time attacked the Hu people in the north for our Yan country and conquered thousands of miles of territory. He had a very high reputation in the army, especially among the Hu people. The troops in our hands are no match for the Qin army. We can only rely on The influence of the Qin family among the Hu people and the Yan army can win over the Yan army. Only in this way can we have a greater chance of success." Ju Zhangkong patted Ju Wen's shoulder and said.

The Qin family has a huge influence in the Yan army. Many of the Yan army that surrendered were generals from the Qin family. If the three families want to rebel and restore the Yan state, they cannot avoid the Qin family.

"Brother Ju, you should be patient in order to regain the Yan Kingdom. The Qin army was born in the army and acted a little recklessly. I will remind them later." The drama director Kong said with a smile.

The dramatist also came from a military background and had the highest influence among the Yan army. He also attracted the Qin family, so it was naturally up to him to remind them.The reason why the three families are called the top dignitaries of the Yan State is precisely because the three families occupy the three aspects of Yan State's military power, political power, and civilian scholars. The military power of the dramatists, the political power of the Guo family, and the influence of the Ju family among the powerful. The three of them complement each other and basically monopolize the upper class of the Yan Kingdom. This is also the confidence and reason why the three families want to regain the Yan Kingdom.

In the Qin State, the three of them were just local powerful families. Let alone power, it would be good if they were not targeted by the county guards.Rather than being a piece of fish on the chopping board, it is better to work hard to become the one who holds the knife. Now the Yan royal family has lost its prestige because of King Yan's escape and capture, and the three of them are at the peak of their prestige. If the Qin army is expelled and Yan is restored, country, then the royal family of the Yan Kingdom is them.

"Well, it's not just the Qin family. Let our people restrain themselves these days. It's the critical moment. When Zhao Guo and Guo Kai give us the news, we should work together to defeat the Qin army. Then they can do whatever they want. ." Ju Wen said.

The complete Yan State at the time could not stop the Qin army, let alone the current Yan State, so the three families unanimously decided to ask for help from the outside world, but now there are only Zhao, Qi and Hu people around the Yan State.Qi State doesn't need to think about it. If he contacts Qi State privately, he may be sold by Qi State to Qin State as soon as he tells the news.As for the Hu people, although the three families were the subjects of the subjugation of their country, they were not humiliated enough to ask for help from the Hu people to help them restore their country.So only the State of Zhao was left, and the State of Zhao was also their best choice. After all, after the State of Yan was completely destroyed, the State of Zhao would no longer have the possibility to fight against the State of Qin.

"Can Guo Kai agree to our conditions?" Guo Yuan said with some doubt.

Ju Wen was responsible for contacting Guo Kai, Ju Wen was responsible for external contacts and gathering civilian forces, Guo Yuan was responsible for wooing the powerful, and Ju Changkong was responsible for wooing the surrendered Yan army. The division of labor between the three families was very clear. It is clear that they are all doing their own things wholeheartedly and have no idea about other people's things.Therefore, Guo Yuan did not understand the affairs of Zhao State, but based on his understanding of Guo Kai, he did not think that Guo Kai could help them restore the country. After all, Guo Kai was a famous faction that surrendered to Qin.

"Brother Guo, don't worry. Guo Kai is not a faction that surrenders to Qin, but is simply corrupt. Do you think Guo Kai doesn't want to interfere with Zhao's military power? Li Mu and Guo Kai are mortal enemies, and the military power in Li Mu's hands is Guo Kai has always longed for it, and helping Yan is the best way for him to get military power. Naturally, he will not refuse. Moreover, the person I sent brought ten carts of money and jewelry, so he will definitely be tempted." Ju Wen said proudly.

"Brother Ju still knows a lot about the situation." Guo Yuan said with a smile.

"How is Brother Guo trying to win over those powerful people?" Ju Changkong asked.

"Most of them are already on our side. The remaining [-]% are in a wait-and-see state, while the [-]% of the people have given up on the Yan State and are ready to join the Qin State. They can't affect the overall situation, they are just wallflowers. That’s all.” Guo Yuan said with a smile.

"The wall grass also has its uses. After all, we have to rely on them to attract the attention of Chen Ping and Li Xin." Ju Wen raised his wine glass and said. "Yes, I also hope that my nephew can successfully disrupt Chen Ping's sight and create opportunities for us." Guo Yuan said, holding up his wine glass.

"Hahaha, I hope everything goes well for us." The director said, holding up his wine glass.

The three of them clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. Noisy sounds were heard outside the window. The three of them looked up and saw that Chen Ping had arrived at the gate of Li's Mansion. Li Huai took Chen Ping and walked into the Li's Mansion. middle.

Zhao Guo and Guo Kai looked at the palm-sized tiger-shaped toy made of jade in their hands with affection in their eyes, and they kept playing with the jade tiger with one hand.

"Xiang Guo, the head of my family said that as long as Xiang Guo can persuade King Zhao to help us revive the Yan Kingdom, we can help Xiang Guo divide Li Mu's military power, and Zhao and Yan will sign an alliance and there will be no more wars, and we will work together to fight against Qin. What do you think?" Ju Wen's lobbyist asked with a smile.

Guo Kai did not go to see the lobbyist, but opened another box and looked at the arm-thick ginseng inside. Guo Kai was suddenly surprised and didn't know how to speak.

The lobbyist looked at Guo Kai and stepped forward to explain.

"Xiang Guo, this is the thousand-year-old Liaodong ginseng king. Thirty ginseng pickers went deep into the wild mountains and forests of Liaodong, but only one came back alive, and what that person brought back was this thousand-year-old Liaodong ginseng king. It is said that this root King Ginseng has flesh and white bones, and has magical effects on the living dead. You only need to use a little of its essence to increase your life span."

Guo Kai looked at the ginseng king inside and his heart was beating uncontrollably. Seeing Guo Kai's excitement, the lobbyist said again
"To tell you the truth, my family master has a prescription left by the people of Qin and Yue, which records how to take Ginseng King correctly to prolong life. When he came, the master said that as long as Guo Xiang agrees to persuade King Zhao to help us regain the Yan Kingdom, , not only handed over the prescription with both hands, but also promised to give Prime Minister Guo ten roots of the best century-old Liaodong ginseng and ten boxes of money and jewelry every year."

Guo Kai looked back and coughed twice and said
"Is it true that I am such a person who values ​​wealth over friends? I once had a friendship with the head of the Ju family. Naturally, I cannot remain indifferent to his desire to restore the country. Moreover, the Qin State is eyeing our Zhao State. If the Yan State is gone, our Zhao State will Naturally, we are not immune to this, and we still understand the truth behind the death of lips and teeth."

Listening to Guo Kai's boastful words, the lobbyist felt very contemptuous in his heart. If Guo Kai really understood the truth about the death of lips and teeth, he would not have allowed King Zhao to agree to Qin's attack on Yan. Although the lobbyist despised Guo Kai in his heart, on the surface He didn't show it at all, but said in great surprise.

"It's Meng Lang. What Mr. Guo means is that he promised to help us restore our country?"

"Well, after all, it is related to the safety of our Zhao country. It cannot be decided by the truth alone. The truth needs to be reported to the king and then discussed with the courtiers." Guo Kai said, stroking his beard.

The lobbyist immediately understood what Guo Kai meant. In one sentence, this was not enough, so more money would have to be added.

"Of course, this is going to trouble Prime Minister Guo. Of course, we can't let Prime Minister Guo worry about it in vain. There are three carts of jewelry outside. If you ask Prime Minister Guo to accept them, it will be considered as a banquet for Prime Minister Guo to entertain famous ministers of Zhao State." The lobbyist said. Said with a smile.

"You, aren't you blaming the truth on people who are greedy for money and despise righteousness? How can the friendship between the truth and Chief Ju be compared to money? The truth will definitely convince the king in this matter." Guo Kaiyizheng Said rhetorically.

"It's Meng Lang, so thank you, Prime Minister Guo." The lobbyist said with a smile.

"This is all for the sake of my friendship with Patriarch Ju, but I still need you to tell me what exactly you are going to do? If the chance of success is high, the truth will be more likely to convince the king." Guo Kai played with the paper in his hand. Emerald Tiger said.

The lobbyists were hesitant. After all, their lives and fortunes were at stake.

"What, are you afraid that the truth will be leaked? If you don't believe the truth, please take these things and leave." Guo Kaikai put down the jade tiger in his hand and said with a cold expression.

Seeing that Guo Kai was angry, the lobbyist no longer hesitated, but hurriedly said
"Please calm down, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I'm sorting out my words in my mind. Our plan."

The lobbyist told the story of Ju Guoju's family's plan to regain the Yan Kingdom. He only gave a general outline of the situation, while the lobbyist kept silent about some specific matters.

"Such a plan is perfect. The truth is sure to convince the king to send troops. Please go back and wait for my news. I will go to the palace to meet the king immediately." Guo Kai said.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo."

Seeing Guo Kai agree, the lobbyist breathed a sigh of relief and left the Prime Minister's Mansion accompanied by Guo Kai.

Guo Kai, who returned to the room again, looked at the jewelry and ginseng in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking. The housekeeper stood at the door and looked at Guo Kai and asked softly.

"Master Prime Minister, aren't you going to the palace to see the king?"

"What kind of king do you want to see? Go and ask Mr. Hun to come over and have a chat with you." Guo Kaikai put down the jade tiger in his hand and said.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, but then he left the door of the room and went to find Soul Candle.

Guo Kai looked at the direction where the housekeeper was leaving and said to himself

"Money is a good thing, but it must be spent with life. Although I am greedy, I value my own life more. The complete Yan State cannot stop the Qin State, let alone you now? Are you really whimsical?"

Guo Kai looked at the jewels and closed the box, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Soul Candle. Faced with the situation, Guo Kai was still somewhat sober. The whole world was already in the possession of the Qin State. He had struggled to go there before. The reason for getting close to Qin was to find a way out for oneself, so how could one cut off one's own way because of this money?

What's more, the money is already in his hands, and he has the final say as to whether to do anything or not.

"Qin may not give less." Guo Kai showed a little disdain on his face.
