Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 368 Request
  If the king is fine, what are you asking for? Do you want to curse the king?
  If there is something really wrong with the king, why are you asking around and waiting for an opportunity to do something evil?

"Uh...His Majesty the King of Qin is in normal health, Mr. Fusu, don't think too much about it." Gu Xun saw the child's face and knew that it was probably because of some misunderstanding about his identity as a doctor, so he explained directly.

After hearing this explanation, Fusu's face looked better, but there was still a faint worry in his eyes. He was young and smart and knew very well that even if there was something, Doctor Gu in front of him would not be able to tell him.

"Sorry, it's Fusu who's bothering me. Mr. Gu, please help yourself. Fusu will take his leave first." Condensing his superficial thoughts, Fusu bowed again, said goodbye and left. Behind him was still a mighty group of imperial guards. .

Gu Xun looked at the other person's leaving figure, shook his head, and continued towards his destination.

Not even a moment later, they arrived at the place. I don’t know if Ying Zheng had already ordered it, but this time the guard didn’t come in to report and just let him go.

Gu Xun walked through the maple trees that were turning red day by day and walked into the house.

Ying Zheng was leaning over the table, flipping through a scroll of letters, while Gai Nie stood quietly behind him holding his sword.

Will these two people always look like this?

Gu Xun couldn't help but have a doubt in his mind. The two times he came here, their postures couldn't be said to be very similar, they could only be said to be exactly the same.

Gu Xun did not hide the sound of his footsteps. The dull sound of stepping on the wooden floor made Ying Zheng raise his head and saw Gu Xun approaching.

"Doctor Gu?" He was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that the doctor just came yesterday and would come again today.

There must be something going on.

"Your Majesty the King of Qin." Gu Xun bowed his hands and made a greeting.

Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to ask him why he came to see him. He put away the slip and extended his hand to invite him, "Mr. Gu, please sit down."

Of course Gu Xun was welcome and sat down immediately.

"Sir, you are here again today. You must have something to discuss, right?"

Gu Xun nodded, "I have something I want to ask of you."

"Asking?" A trace of surprise flashed across Ying Zheng's serious and calm face. Based on his understanding of Gu Xun, it was not like the other party would be willing to ask for help from others.

With so much strength, what problem can’t be solved?
  Even if you can't solve the problem, you can still solve the person who created the problem.

"This is strange... Mr. Gu, please speak."

"I have a wife named Mingzhu. Your Majesty should know her."

Ying Zheng said nothing, looking at Gu Xun calmly, waiting for him to continue.

Mingzhu, of course, knows that we all came to Xianyang together, although we have never met each other.

"Her past status was quite special, and His Majesty should also know that."

Ying Zheng remained silent, but his eyes flashed with a few complicated meanings.

Of course, the identity is better known. Han Wangan's favorite...the former favorite concubine, now the missing person, Mrs. Mingzhu...

Ying Zheng really doesn't like married women (Liji:?), so he can only say one thing about Gu Xun's behavior... a man of temperament.

Regardless of what Ying Zheng was thinking, Gu Xun continued to talk about his own affairs:

"Although Mingzhu came to Xianyang with me, she is actually unwilling to give up the power she once had. Well... She is a little power-minded and can't sit still. She still wants to make a difference in Xianyang."

"I tried to persuade her, but she obviously wasn't going to give up."

At this time, Ying Zheng finally spoke, "What do you want me to do, sir?"

Then, without waiting for Gu Xun to speak, Ying Zheng took the initiative to give a solution, "Since Mr.... this lady wants power, then after I give you the gift, I can share the credit of Mr. She gets a knighthood."

It is not a problem for women to be knighted, but generally they only have empty titles. It is not realistic to think of becoming a general or a minister, but they are still in the aristocratic class and they still have power. Gu Xun shook his head and refused, "Thank you for your Majesty's kindness, but it's a pity that what Mingzhu wants is not the status of a noble, but real power."

Ying Zheng stopped talking. It is unrealistic to have real power.

"I don't want Your Majesty to satisfy her desire for power." Gu Xun began to express his request.

"After His Majesty's congratulations, I will leave Xianyang temporarily and travel to other countries. I'm afraid she will stay and make some small moves."

"If she crosses the line, Your Majesty can punish her, but please do not harm her personally."

"As a price, Your Majesty no longer has to give me the previous one hundred thousand gold."

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with astonishment, and then some relief. Gu Xun's request surprised him, but when he thought about his previous contacts and exchanges with the other party, he felt that it was in line with the other party's character.

One hundred thousand gold, just to indulge a woman's meaningless ambition, willing to give it all up in exchange for being more liberal.

Ying Zheng neither recognized nor understood Gu Xun's actions. For Ying Zheng, women were at best a tonic, and he would not spend any extra emotion or energy on them, let alone a hundred thousand gold.

However, Gu Xun's behavior also made Ying Zheng feel more at ease.

Ying Zheng did not rush to respond to Gu Xun's request, but first asked him about his departure:

"Sir, are you leaving?"

"Well, let's go out for a walk and look around before coming back."

"Have you not been to the other five countries, sir?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised.

Many people can do this kind of thing, and many sages from various schools of thought have basically done it. After all, it can expand their knowledge and knowledge, which is something that cannot be learned from books.

Also, look for a country that is suitable for you to become an official.

However, Ying Zheng felt that Gu Xun's knowledge was extensive enough. Even Gai Nie, the descendant of Guigu, could not speak in many places as he did. Shouldn't he have traveled around the world?

"Well... I can't say that I haven't been there, but I haven't experienced the customs and customs of each country in detail. I come in a hurry and leave in a hurry, so I want to visit again." Gu Xun explained with some mumbling.

He had been to Chu and Wei, and spent his time in the former taking care of the newly born Jing Salamander and the newly born baby Ayan, while the latter... was flying.

"..."

I didn’t understand it in detail... Then how did you chat with me on the road so many anecdotes and life insights? There is nothing like this in the book...

Ying Zheng shook his head and didn't bother to delve deeper. Quan Dang Guxun was just gifted.

"In that case, why don't you go out for a walk, sir?"

"As for your wife's matter, of course there is no problem. As long as she does not commit any unforgivable crime such as treason, we can all be spared."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Xun cupped his fists and bowed in thanks.

"It doesn't matter." Ying Zheng waved his hand, "There is no need to pay anything for the one hundred thousand gold sir, I will still pay you."

Gu Xun refused. It would be better not to do such things as having sex with Ying Zheng. What if you have to pay back double the amount in the future?
  "One code is another code. If there is gain, there must be loss. Since you want something, you should get something out."

Ying Zheng saw that Gu Xun was resolute and did not force anything, so he turned a corner and said:
  "In this case, I will use this hundred thousand gold to hire Mr. again."

"That's no problem." Gu Xun's eyes lit up, golden light flashed, and he no longer refused.

Since it was another normal business and the price was in place, he obviously had no reason not to accept the job.
