Chapter 159 Zhao Kuo and the Assassin

Looking at the guest in front of him who was pressed to the ground, Zhao Kuo frowned.

Di breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then kicked the man in the back. The assassin cried out in pain, and Di wanted to hit him again. Zhao Kuo stopped him. Zhao Kuo looked at the assassin in front of him and asked, "Why do you want to kill me?" The assassin raised his head and looked at Zhao Kuo viciously. At this moment, he had already changed into Qin Opera and said, "I will kill you under the order of the king. This is my mission."

When he heard his words, the Qin students who held him were immediately anxious and shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense here. The king will never send someone to kill the teacher!" A Qin man directly pulled his hair and punched him in the face, questioning angrily: "Who are you?!" The assassin stared at them and cursed angrily: "Rebel!"

"Ha, Qin Yu can't say it well, but he dares to say that he is an assassin of Qin?" The students angrily pointed the dagger at his neck, and the assassin was not afraid, so he stared at them angrily.

Zhao Kuo looked at him, sighed, and said, "You took the bodies of these two people back and told the King of Yan that I heard that in the winter of this year, many people in Yan State were frozen to death. I know a way to use adobe as a couch and set up a stove in the house. The smoke produced by the stove can be discharged outside the house through connected hollow columns, and a hole under the couch is connected to the hollow columns... It is not connected, setting the stove with the house can also make the house much warmer... You will find a craftsman later, and he calls it Du, and you can see the semi-finished product in his place..."

"The reason why we don't set the stove in the house is because of thick smoke. As long as there is a way to expel the thick smoke outside the house, we can keep the cold. However, remember not to leak the smoke, otherwise it will cause the people to be poisoned and die of death..." Zhao Kuo said seriously, but the assassin was stunned. He looked at Zhao Kuo, who was telling him in detail about the method of keeping cold for him, and opened his mouth wide and could not speak for a long time.

"Di, please take him to see Du. He is doing what I said... If it succeeds, it will save many people..." Zhao Kuo ordered Di. Di looked at him helplessly, so he had to bend down, grab the assassin tightly, pull him up, and take him away. At this time, the assassin was confused and numbly was taken away by Dila. After he left, Zhao Kuo looked at his students.

The students were all staring at Zhao Kuo in amazement at this moment, unable to speak one by one.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Kuo asked in confusion.

"Teacher... He is here to kill you... You also concluded that this was the command of the King of Yan... Why did you tell him this method... and let him take it back to Yan State?" The one who spoke was Uncle Le. Uncle Le recognized this person's identity early in the morning because he was from Yan, and the assassin was not hiding well. When he spoke Qin, he always had a little Liaodong accent. Uncle Le lived in Yan State for twenty years, how could he not hear it?

However, he could not understand Zhao Kuo's behavior.

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "If he hurts Er Sanzi, I will definitely execute him, but he did not. The King of Yan wants to kill me and send an assassin to take my life. I regard him as an enemy, but I do not regard the people of Yan as an enemy. The winter in Yan is very cold, and the people are seriously injured. This is something I don't want to see. I just told Er Sanzi that all countries are one, and I treat everyone as relatives. Then is it wrong for me to help my relatives?"

The students were speechless and their expressions were a little dull.

Di escorted the assassin to Du's residence. Du, who couldn't see the things clearly, smiled and invited them to dinner. Di still refused. After telling him Zhao Kuo's words, Du happily pulled the assassin and took him into the room [Bayi Chinese website www.x81zw.xyz] and showed him the earthen kang he made. This was the name given by Ma Fujun. Sure enough, the inner room was much warmer, and sitting on the bed, even more so, Du explained the method of making it for the assassin...

The assassin looked at the stove in front of him in a daze, suddenly collapsed on the ground, whipped his face hard with both hands, and started to cry.

Du looked at the assassin crying in surprise, hurried forward, pressed the crying sound, and finally found his place, grabbed his shoulder with his hand, and said, "Don't be sad, have you also had relatives frozen to death? I have adopted many children, two of them, but I couldn't survive the winter. I covered all my clothes on them... But you don't have to be sad anymore. I think this method can save many people, and no one will suffer such a disaster anymore. We should be happy..."

The assassin raised his head, looked at Di, and said, "I want to see Ma Fujun."

When he learned that the assassin was coming to see him, Zhao Kuo asked Di to bring him to his presence. Di and several disciples surrounded the assassin and came here again. As soon as the assassin saw Zhao Kuo, he knelt down in front of him. He said, "I was sent by the King of Yan to assassinate you... Please forgive my crimes, I..." He couldn't speak and didn't dare to raise his head again.

So he summoned the King of Yan to tell Zhao Kuo all the news about how to make arrangements and how many people he arranged.

Zhao Kuo said nothing and was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't blame you. You must not refuse to obey the orders of the King of Yan. But I hope that if the King of Yan asks you to kill innocent people again, please do not go and execute them... Take your comrade's body and go back to report your life." The assassin left, and Di was very angry. He felt that for such a person, he should hang him up and put it at the door of the horse suit, so that other assassins would dare not have the idea of ​​murdering the horse suit again.

Zhao Kuo was about to leave. This time he was going to Korea, the students were unwilling to stay. They had to follow Ma Fujun. Even if Ma Fujun told them that he had no time to teach them, they were unwilling to stay because they found that it was not important to say whether Zhao Kuo said or not. What was important was that how he did it, his behavior would allow them to understand the truth that they had not understood for decades.

Zhao Kuo once told them that treating others with kindness and righteousness will also repay your kindness with kindness. Everyone disagreed, until they saw Zhao Kuo’s actions of forgiveing ​​the assassin with their own eyes. Zhao Kuo had no choice but to bring them with them, and his disciples were even more unwilling to stay, especially Li Yu. Zhao Kuo thought for a long time and finally decided to keep Wang Fan and Ming and let them take charge of the matter here.

Wang Fan did not complain. He knew that someone had to keep the horse uniform, but Ming asked him to stay here. He knew that he could not help Zhao Kuo on the battlefield. If he stayed in the horse uniform, he could do more. He wanted to help Zhao Kuo and sell the method of making the earthen kang to the nobles and teach the people.

Zhao Kuo arranged these and went to accompany his mother. He felt a little guilty about Zhao's mother. During these days, he really couldn't take time to accompany his mother, but Zhao's mother didn't care. On the contrary, he was very happy about Zhao Kuo's behavior. After hearing the story of Zhao Kuo and the assassin, Zhao's mother told him seriously that just because of this matter, you will definitely be praised by future generations.

Zhao Kuo held the little guy in his arms and tied him around, but the little guy now has grown hair and no longer felt like he used to tie it. Beside Zhao's mother, the little guy slept after eating and was full, and he had already started to gain weight, which made Zhao Kuo a little worried. However, he should have grown up like this and did not gain weight when he grew up. So this emperor of the ages... shouldn't be it?

When an elderly person takes care of his children, he will probably always feel that his children are not full and will always feed them to the chubby and fat.

Zhao Kuo still left the horse uniform. When he left, the guests followed around, and the students followed. It was so powerful that Zhao Kuo was sitting in the carriage and was still thinking about Han Fei's words. Han Fei had three ways to save the world, but Zhao Kuo could only use the method of a villain. Whether it was to join Qin or be the King of Zhao himself, it seemed that it was not a good choice. King Zhao was also good to him, and he was unwilling to do things that hurt King of Zhao.

What if he assisted Zhao State? Will it cause a confrontation between the two strong and severely delay the unification time? More soldiers will be killed and injured, and will cause greater harm? Zhao Kuo always feels confused. He saved hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were about to be killed in Zhao State. However, will his actions cause millions of people to be killed in the future? The country's strongest national strength, can it be completely unified and stop the war? It seems that only Qin State can be killed... But can he really let Qin State slaughter the people of other countries because of the idea of ​​stopping the war?

If you want to change the Qin system, what kind of system can replace the military merit system? Why do you change the Qin State? Can you make the world better?

Zhao Kuo finally realized the pain of Xunzi. The pain arising from an unattainable dream. When the carriage stopped and everyone rested, Zhao Kuo silently took out the bamboo slips. It was a letter from the King of Qin to him. He picked up the pen and ink. Zhao Kuo wrote, "I heard that Bai Qi and Han killed people. Qin Fa used the head to calculate military merits, encouraged soldiers to kill the enemy, and used the people of other countries as rewards, and rewarded soldiers who had made merits as retainers..."

"Can you use prisoners as military merits and no longer massacres of prisoners? Can you regard the people of the seven countries as your own people? How can the king use Qin to enslave the six countries if he wants to rule the world? If the people live better under your rule, there will be no more people to resist your army. Otherwise, even if the world is pacified, rebellions will inevitably arise everywhere, and a king will not be long..."

"The laws of Qin are very cruel. The role of the law should not only facilitate your rule, but also protect the lives of the people and restrict power. Whether it is your minister or yourself, you should also be restricted by the law. I say this, not to be detrimental to you. If the king does not restrict his misconduct, if there are mediocre and cruel people in your descendants, wouldn't they destroy the accumulation of Qin for many years?"

"Xunzi said: A king is a boat, and a common man is water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also cover a boat... Please do not just collect taxes and keep busy with labor service. The people are the foundation of the country. Only when the people's lives are stable can your rule be stable... You are a king, and all the people are your people, and you should treat them equally..."

Zhao Kuo wrote this answer casually. It can be said that he had almost no thoughts. He wrote whatever he thought of. The faster he wrote it, he was writing it. He probably wrote his thoughts and insights over the past few days on this answer. It was like talking to a friend, not respecting a king, not hostile to the enemy, and only persuading each other hard. Zhao Kuo quickly finished the answer.

After putting down his pen, Zhao Kuo didn't know what the things he wrote could do, but it was better than doing nothing.

He called Han Fei and handed him the bamboo slips in his hand. Han Fei was stunned and asked, "Old... Teacher, do you need me to modify it for you?" This is not that Han Fei looked down on Zhao Kuo, but the answer written by Zhao Kuo was not formatted, no respect, the sentences were not smooth, and there were even typos. Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "Let's just do it. I'll go to the school site later. Please hand this answer to Lou Yan in Handan..."

Han Fei agreed to him.

In the schoolyard outside Handan, the elite guarding Handan had already gathered here, and Zhao Kuo did not need to be reorganized. Among them, there were many acquaintances, the young nobles who fought with Zhao Kuo when they were fighting against Yan State. At this time, they were all officers in this elite unit. When Zhao Kuo arrived, these soldiers were very excited. The fanaticism in their eyes scared the disciples who followed Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo asked them to rest for a day and set off tomorrow, and summoned the generals to discuss the way to send troops.

After Zhao Kuo finished all this, the disciple came forward to pay homage to him. The disciple was from Qin State, called Yang Duanhe, and he just killed two assassins and showed his courage. Even Di also loved his skills. After competing with him, he rushed Yang Duanhe without any difficulties. However, Di still praised him. Di said that at his age, he was only slightly stronger than him.

He is the tallest, but the youngest, and he doesn't like to speak on weekdays. The other Qin students vaguely lead him. It is said that he has a good background. The Yang State was destroyed by Jin State, and the Yang State nobles fled to the northwest. The ancestors of Yang Duanhe seem to be the great nobles of Yang State. The ancestors of the ancestors had held positions in the Qin Palace for several generations, but these people were relatively mediocre and did not have very famous wise men.

He asked: "The soldiers of Qin were very happy to hear the news of the war. This is because they knew that they could get military merits to improve their titles, but why were the soldiers of Zhao so excited after learning about the war?"

ps: It's so tiring to write!! Is there any votes?!
