All the civil and military officials in the entire Jin imperial palace rarely came into contact with the Qin people.
Because before the Jin-Chu alliance attacked the Qin State, there had never been any intersection between the two countries.
Even if they are neighboring countries, they just do not interfere with each other.
Because the powerful State of Jin never bothered to discuss anything with the State of Qin, their attention has always been on countries such as Qi and Yan.
To them, that is their competition and the Federation.
In the outdated thinking of the civil and military officials of Jin State, it has always been generally believed that the Qin people are the lowest and lowest nation, without a doubt.
After all, Jin State always claimed to be the most superior country in front of Qin State.
Now, seeing Guo Kai's panic-stricken look, they felt even more disdainful and thought that most Qin people were like this.
"Your Majesty, I have done nothing wrong. Why do you want to cook me?"
After a pause, Guo Kai asked with a pale face.
Princess Chong'er of Jin said in a deep voice, "Your Qin general, Bai Qi, has murdered 20,000 of my Great Jin soldiers. I only want to spare the lives of your delegation, which is already a gesture of kindness."
The Jin civil and military officials underestimated Guo Kai and the Qin people. The fundamental reason was that whenever they sent envoys to other countries, they would look for people with the strongest backbone, who could not be bent by power and could not be corrupted by wealth and honor.
For example, Lin Xiangru from the State of Jin.
It is also for this reason that they believe that Guo Kai is the person with the strongest backbone in the Qin State.
Even the toughest people are so afraid of death, how many tough guys can there be among the Qin people?
If this kind of nation is not inferior, then what are they?
It seems that the Qin people are in urgent need of reform from the Jin State!
Guo Kai was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats.
At this moment, he was like a clown, allowing the civil and military officials of Jin State to ridicule him.
"Your Majesty, that was Bai Qi's doing. It has nothing to do with me! In fact... in fact, I also hate Bai Qi's behavior."
As he spoke, he kept kowtowed and kneeled before the Emperor of Jin.
Suddenly, a Jin general kicked him to the ground and shouted angrily:
"Although we, the people of Jin, hate Bai Qi and wish we could eat his flesh and drink his blood, we must admit that his military prowess is admirable. How can you humiliate such a hero?"
Bai Qi was an opponent recognized by the State of Jin. Although they hated him extremely, they also respected him.
Guo Kai felt a little unwell and his body began to tremble.
Saying good things about Bai Qi will only make you die faster, and you won't be happy when I say bad things about him.
What on earth is going on?
In fact, at this time, Zhuge Liang's good intentions in letting him go to Jin can be reflected.
If it were Heshen, he wouldn't want to die either, but would want to live a good life.
However, he is definitely not the kind of person who would willingly be humiliated.
On the contrary, he would stand up and loudly tell the people of Jin that they could kill or chop him up as they pleased.
Heshen was a man full of contradictions, and his loyalty to Ying Yuan surpassed that of many others.
Therefore, for Ying Yuan, he would be willing to die.
Instead of being like Guo Kai, who was willing to bring shame to the Qin Dynasty in order to survive.
This was a situation that Zhuge Liang had anticipated long ago.
He felt that it was a good deal to lose some face in exchange for long-term stability in the Qin Dynasty.
In fact, there are many people in the country who are afraid of death and love life.
But why was Guo Kai sent alone to Jin?
The reason is very simple. He is the Censor-in-Chief and holds a vital position in the power center of the Qin State.
His presence could, to a certain extent, fully represent the official will of the Qin State.
Guo Kai's weakness means the Qin court is weak.
Showing weakness to the enemy was exactly one of Zhuge Liang's strategies.
In fact, it is easy to find someone who is afraid of death, and it is also easy to find someone who is capable and resourceful.
But it is very difficult to find someone who is afraid of death and has the ability and means.
Guo Kai is the perfect choice.
As long as he could survive and negotiate peace with the Jin Emperor in a real sense.
If the State of Jin is forced to increase the stakes to squeeze the interests of the State of Chu, then this plan will be completed by one third.
"Sir, I did not insult Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an. I simply felt that killing prisoners was detrimental to the harmony of heaven and was ominous. I am dissatisfied with his killing of prisoners!"
Guo Kai tried to defend himself.
The Jin general said coldly, "If it were an envoy from another country, after such a great humiliation, he would have hanged himself long ago. You are such a coward!"
Guo Kai swallowed his saliva and said quickly, "My Lord, I am not afraid of death, but my mission is not yet completed. It would be a shame to die now!"
This may be the biggest joke in the seventh year of Chengping - Guo Kai is not afraid of death.
Hearing this, Ji Chong'er chuckled and said, "Mission unfinished? Do you think that my Great Jin will really negotiate peace with your Qin?"
Guo Kai said bluntly: "Your Majesty, no matter how much the Chu State offers, our Qin State will double it."
Double?
These words really surprised the civil and military officials of Jin State.
Do you know how much real money and land that would be if the money doubled?
Can your Qin State afford it?
However, seeing Guo Kai's serious expression, the ministers all felt that he didn't seem to be joking.
If Guo Kai were to joke on such an important occasion, then he really must be living too long.
"Is this your intention, or your Qin's?"
At this time, Mao Sui slowly asked.
Guo Kai bowed and said, "Of course it is the will of my Qin State."
Actually, it was Zhuge Liang's intention.
Before Guo Kai left, he reminded him of this matter.
No matter how many chips Chu gave, Qin would double them.
