Chapter 14 Attack on Korea (1)
"My minister Zhou Chong welcomes the king." Zhou Chong saluted the King of Qin.
The King of Qin waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't need to be polite." After looking at Zhou Chong for a while, he said, "Mr. Zhou's complexion is much better, and my friends are safe, so I feel relieved." He said to the three imperial doctors: "You try your best to treat Mr. Zhou's friends, this is a great contribution, I will remember it for you."
The three imperial physicians hurriedly thanked him: "The king's words are heavy, and this is the duty of the minister. I dare not be the king's grace."
"My merit is merit, and fault is merit. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. If you have merit, you will be punished. If you have me, you will be punished. If you have saved Mr. Zhou's friend, your head will be saved. Please retreat." The King of Qin turned to Zhou Chong and said, "Mr. Zhou is wondering, why did I come to your mansion, right?"
Zhou Chong told the truth, "I think so when I go back to the king. The king is busy with all his affairs every day, but he actually put down his state affairs and came to my house. I am both honored and frightened."
The King of Qin smiled and said, "I am so old that I have never heard of my destiny friends. Even if I have heard of them, I have only read them in books and have never seen them with my own eyes. There are two destiny friends in Mr. Zhou's mansion who can block the knife for his friends. How can I not come to see them? Mr. Zhou, you don't have to say too much, take me to see your friends."
Zhou Chong responded and led the King of Qin into the back. Wei Liao, Wang Ao, Li Si, and Gan Luo, who followed the King of Qin, were all close friends of Zhou Chong, either with the kindness of recommendation, life-saving, or with the virtue of giving merit. Such a big thing happened here in Zhou Chong, so they naturally wanted to come and take a look.
When he arrived at Mao Jiao's sickbed, Mao Jiao was about to hold up and salute. The King of Qin pressed his right hand on his chest and said, "Mr. Mao, don't be too polite. You are still very weak, just lie down."
Zhou Chong did not expect that King Qin was so reasonable and was so kind to Mao Jiao, and he felt a little dizzy. Mao Jiao thanked him and said, "Thank you, King."
The King of Qin looked Mao Jiao and praised: "A man, a strange man in the world, Mr. Zhou, if you make friends with a life-long friend like Mr. Mao, I will be jealous."
Zhou Chong and Mao Jiao dared not be so proud of this, and Xun said, "The king has been awarded too much."
The King of Qin continued: "The friendship between Guan and Bao is praised by later generations, and that is only in terms of recommendation. If you block the sword and sword, the gentleman of Bao can block the sword for Guan Zhong, but Guan Ze may not be the case. He has not yet shown his great fortune and cannot die. You are different. I believe that in times of crisis, Mr. Mao can block the sword for Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Zhou can block the sword for Mr. Mao. I really envy you this love." Unexpectedly, the friendship between Guan and Bao, who praised later generations, also had loopholes in the eyes of the King of Qin, and Zhou Chong and others were stunned.
"From my opinion, Mr. Mao is definitely an extraordinary person, a talent in the world. Mr. Mao, I have a request, I wonder if Mr. Mao can agree?" The King of Qin admired Mao Jiao very much and started discussing with Mao Jiao in a deliberate tone.
With his strong character and undiscussed principles, he did this, which shows how much he appreciated Mao Jiao. Mao Jiao said: "Please tell me that as long as Mao Jiao can do it, he will never refuse even if he dies."
The King of Qin nodded and said, "Sir, I am so serious. I want to give you an official job. I wonder if you can surrender?"
In history, Mao Jiao was appointed as an official because of his advice to the King of Qin. History has come back again. His official was taken away by Zhou Chong. Now the King of Qin personally invited him. It was the time. Zhou Chong thought to himself and said, "The king didn't know anything. On that day, Mr. Mao also had to advise the king in person. It was just that Zhou Chong took the lead. Mr. Mao had not met the king. Mr. Mao was not allowed to advise the king. After a few days of imprisonment, his luggage was also divided by his fellow servants. I helped Mr. Mao catch those evil people, but Mr. Mao generously distributed all the luggage to them without pursuing it at all. I am so proud of such a high moral integrity."
"I admire my pride!" The King of Qin was a little surprised, and said, "Okay, Mr. Mao is so talented. When he sees me, he will definitely make me lose one less mistake when he sees me. It is best that Mr. Zhou is the Grand Tutor, the Grand Tutor, and Mr. Mao is also the Grand Tutor, the Grand Tutor."
Mao Jiao politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness. Mao Jiao loves mountains and rivers and does not want to be an official, so he asks the king to take it back and make his life."
The King of Qin was a little disappointed and said, "Does Mr. Mao only love mountains and rivers, and get the joy of one person, and is unwilling to contribute to my efforts to join the prosperity and bring about the unity of China? Mr. Mao, you are so talented, but you are free in the forest and spring, and you are too selfish to watch the people of the world suffer without exerting your efforts."
Wei Liao said in a rhyme: "Mr. Mao doesn't know anything. Liaozi also loves mountains and rivers, but the world is not the same, and the battles are endless. Liaozi has to go through the world. Why don't Mr. Mao go through the world? The wise ruler of the king, the current situation, the one who determines the world is the king. The opportunity for a real man to make achievements is right in front of him. Mr. Mao is unwilling to go through the world. Isn't it a pity that God has given you a talent?"
The King of Qin looked at Mao Jiao with great anticipation. Mao Jiao was silent for a while and said, "If Mao Jiao cannot be called the king, please forgive me."
After saying this, he agreed. The King of Qin was very happy and said, "Then I feel wronged Mr. Mao."
This official position should have been snatched by Zhou Chong. Now, after a lot of twists and turns, he has returned to Mao Jiao. Zhou Chong is happy for this friend who has survived his life.
"Let's go and see another friend of Mr. Zhou." Under the leadership of Zhou Chong, the King of Qin came to Chunyu Jue's room. Chunyu Jue was about to hold up the tribute. The King of Qin waved his hand and said, "It turns out that he is a confidante. Please give up the gift. I am here to visit you, not to accept your etiquette."
Chunyu Jue thanked him and, with the help of the palace maid, he lay half lying half lying.
"A girl is a strange woman in the world. What's even more rare is that she can block the sword for Mr. Zhou. She is a hero among women. She is ashamed of men. She is so brave that she is ashamed of many men!" The King of Qin admired her very much and said, "Mr. Mao is willing to contribute to me, but is the girl willing to contribute to me?"
Chunyu Jue shook his head gently and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Chunyu Jue's daughter is a person with no talent or virtue, no wisdom or knowledge, and dare not make fun of the world."
At that time, the female official was only in the palace, but the King of Qin had a different opinion and said, "What kind of daughter cannot be an official is all nonsense. As long as she is talented, I will use it. Ganluo was only twelve years old. Didn't I still let him go to Zhao State to make achievements? I think this matter is settled."
Chunyu Jue said hurriedly: "Master, Chunyu Jue does not want to be famous among the princes, he only wants to live a peaceful life."
This was said very firmly, not a false statement. The King of Qin was very disappointed and said, "The girl does not want to be an official, and I am not inconvenient to force me. I am willing to fulfill a wish for the girl. You said, what do you have?"
Chunyu Jue didn't say anything, his head drooped and his face flushed. He was very embarrassed. The King of Qin looked at her gaze and saw someone, smiling and said, "Please rest assured, girl, I have fulfilled your wish." Chunyu Jue's face turned redder and his head drooped lower.
