Chapter 863 Borrowing a Knife

In Guo Kai's opinion, there is no danger when he returns to Huandu now, because King Huan is not aware of the matter in Huayang Pass, and people will only think that he is still sick at home.

But what he didn't know was that Jia You's vicious plan had been used on him.

A few days later, Huanzhou, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The housekeeper was in a hurry, holding several secret letters in his hand, all of which said the Prime Minister's birthday. After seeing Qiu Rong, he also said respectfully: "Prince, look..."

Qiu Rong took the secret letter, first lowered his head and counted a few, then frowned slightly and said, "Who is here?"

"I don't know who came here. I found out this morning that the letter was in the mansion." The housekeeper returned truthfully.

"You go down first." Qiu Rong didn't say anything more and took the letter back to the study.

Someone wrote to themselves, and out of curiosity, everyone would take apart and take a look, and Qiu Rong was no exception.

But after opening the secret letter, the more he read it, the more frightened he became. By the time of the third letter, he had already widened his eyes. After reading the last letter, he stood up suddenly.

The content of the secret letter is the exchanges between Guo Kai and the Qin army, and every matter is a major event. More importantly, Qiu Rong and Guo Kai have been in the same dynasty for many years, so they know his handwriting, which is his own handwriting!

There is no doubt that these secret letters are enough to prove that Guo Kai surrendered to the enemy and treason.

Who is Qiu Rong? A pedantic and loyal faction, and a person like Guo Kai has long been in power. How could he not be angry when he discovered such a thing?

The next day, Huan Kingdom was in the morning.

King Huan's mood is getting heavier day by day.

In the court hall, Guo Kai winked at a minister. He was about to take the lead and then surrender, but Qiu Rong stood up first and bowed to the top and said, "King, I have a memorial."

"Tell me." King Huan looked weak.

Qiu Rong subconsciously glanced at Guo Kai, then said straight to the point: "What I want to report is the Censor Guo Kai, who surrendered to the enemy and treason!"

What!? Hearing this, King Huan immediately fell down seriously.

Guo Kai was even more shocked and immediately pointed at him and shouted: "Nonsense!"

As he said that, he also faced King Huan and said seriously: "The loyalty of the great king is to show the sun and the moon. But I have always had disagreements with the prime minister. This is obviously a slander. I took the opportunity to suppress the weak ministers. I hope the king will understand."

After hearing what he said, King Huan was also nervous and looked at Qiu Rong with anger: "In this national crisis, the prime minister should not make trouble."

"No! I have sufficient evidence!" Qiu Rong said, and took out several secret letters from the cuffs of the official uniform, bent down slightly, and raised his hands respectfully: "Please take a look at it."

King Huan frowned slightly, but seeing this, he naturally signaled to the attendant: "Come on."

"No." The attendant responded, took the secret letters, and then respectfully placed them on the Wang Case.

Guo Kai was obviously a little nervous because he didn't know what was presented.

There were several secret letters on the Wang case. King Huan picked up one casually, shook his hand and opened it, and looked down carefully.

As he looked, his eyes suddenly widened, then he put down the first one, and hurriedly opened the second one, followed by the third one...

The more I looked, the expression on his face kept changing, with anger, shock, and incredible.

The court officials couldn't help but whisper and started to whisper. Guo Kai even swallowed hard, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Finally finished reading, King Huan's hand holding the letter also trembled slightly, then slapped Wang Qin hard, stood up suddenly, pointed at Guo Kai, and shouted loudly: "Guo Kai!!"

Ah!?The latter was startled, knelt down in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know, I don't know why the king is angry..."

"You traitor!" King Huan was furious: "I still trust you so much! You secretly colluded with the enemy country! You are willing to be the inner support of the King of Qin! You betray the country!"

"This is this, this is the king, please calm down. I am wronged!" Guo Kai hurriedly defended.

"Stop talking!" King Huan was even more angry because he was betrayed by the person he trusted the most. Even if he knew that he had been defeated, he would certainly not tolerate the treason.

"You despicable villain! In order to seek glory and wealth, you not only leaked our country's secrets, but also conspired with the King of Qin many times, but also colluded with Xiang Ge and turned against him at the last minute!"

"This, this, this, the king, don't listen to slander. Those, those things must be the prime minister deliberately framed the minister..." Guo Kai continued to kneel on the ground to defend himself. In his heart, he had a conspiracy with the King of Qin, so how could Qiu Rong have to be given the opportunity? Therefore, of course, he still had a lucky mentality in his heart.

But after hearing these words, the other ministers suddenly started to riot.

"What, Xiang Ge surrendered, how could this be possible..."

"That's the last line of defense that blocks the Qin army..."

Just when people were shocked, a military emergency report came in at the right time.

"Report~~~~~"

"Report to the king, Xiang...General Xiang Ge surrendered to Qin, Qin... Qin's army has passed Huayang Pass and is less than two hundred miles away from our Huandu..."

This military situation caused Huan Kingdom's court to explode again.

In King Huan's eyes, he became even more angry and glared at Guo Kai who was kneeling below, as if he was about to eat him raw: "Have you heard! Did you hear! Xiang Ge surrendered! It was your conspiracy! What else can you say to the dog thief!"

"Big... King, Xiang Ge's surrender to the enemy has nothing to do with me, I have always been in the capital." Guo Kai was already panicked.

When King Huan heard this, he grabbed the secret letter from the king's case and threw it into the hall in anger: "Don't I know your handwriting? You traitor! No wonder you keep saying that you are urging me to surrender to the imperial court! It turns out that I have long become a traitor in the enemy country!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help it anymore and immediately shouted: "Come here!"

As he said, the palace gate guard stepped inside and bowed his fists.

"Drag this traitor to the country! The whole family is killed!" King Huan pointed at Guo Kai.

"No!" The imperial guards of the palace didn't care about so many things. After receiving the order, they didn't say anything, one left and one right, and started dragging Guo Kai outwards.

The latter was almost scared and screamed like a pig slaughter: "Good king! Give me your life! I am wronged! I am wronged-"

But the evidence was conclusive, and King Huan's anger could not calm down. His screams soon disappeared outside the hall.

Seeing this scene, many ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to surrender. Several other officials who had had secret letters with Xiao Yuan swallowed hard, couldn't help but lift the sleeves of the official clothes and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads.
