Chapter 2 Surrender

Before leaving the construction site in Two Rivers, Ji Kang has another important thing to deal with.

That is, when he entered Linzi City, he blocked the city gate and scolded Zhou Zi.

Zhou Zi also had two important friends in Yan State, namely the two deans, Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian.

After hearing about this, Old Dean Zou Yan was very angry and wrote a letter to scold Zhou Ziyitong without hesitation.

Lu Zhonglian personally went to Zhouzi's mansion and visited Zhouzi.

Zhou Zi has agreed to be responsible for managing the prisoners in Qi, and is also on the construction site here.

This time, Zhou Zi has already had a good face to Ji Kang.

At least I didn’t curse like “swallow dog, swallow dog” like before.

But when this old man saw Ji Kang, he turned his head aside and ignored Ji Kang and others.

Ji Kang didn't care about this. When Zhou Zi walked, he would go there.

He talked about the conversation he had just had with Zheng State and informed the old man Zhou Zi, who was the one who had just talked to him.

Tian Guang was very angry and angry. I wonder why the king was so polite to this old man?

In this era, it is important to "being a minister, the king is worried about his ministers and is tired of his ministers, and the king is humiliated and dies."

This old man repeatedly showed his face to the king, and Tian Guang wanted to kill the old man with one knife.

Just as he was about to step forward and scold the old man loudly, he found that his arms were firmly pulled by Han Fei and Ju Wu, one left and one right, and he would not let him go forward.

Tian Guang looked at the two of them and heard Han Fei say, "Tian Guang, the king has a deep meaning, you should not make mistakes."

Ju Wu also whispered to Tian Guang: "Tian Guang, Zhou Zi is invincible, and the people in the world will be convinced!"

Tian Guang was stunned and understood a little.

At this time, the old man Zhou Zi had already listened to Ji Kang's narration with a pointed ear, and his heart was shocked.

Qi State has been established for hundreds of years. Whether it is the king of Jiang or the king of Tian, ​​it is not that he does not want to govern the Ji River and the Dahe River.

But I have never been willing to spend such manpower, material resources and financial resources to completely manage the two rivers.

This Yan King Kang had such a strong spirit. He had just ruled Qidi and made up his mind.

Zhou Zi turned his face and looked at the young king beside him who was smiling at him.

Closed his eyes and sighed to the sky.

Then he stretched out his hands, closed them together, bowed to Ji Kang and said:

"Thank you for the King of Yan for governing the two rivers. I salute the king of Yan on behalf of the people of Qi."

Ji Kang hurried forward, held Zhou Zi in one hand, and said to him:

"Mr. Zhou Zi, this is what I should do. The people of Qi are now my people. As their king, if I don't want to benefit the people and let the two rivers rage Qi, what are the faces of me to meet the people?"

Zhou Zi already knew at this time that there were very few kings like Ji Kang today.

Especially when he insulted him so much, he still treated himself respectfully.

Whether it's pretending, it's really like this in his heart.

But it is already commendable that this young king can do this on the surface.

Just as his old friend Lu Zhonglian said to him, as a minister, as a minister, what else can he ask for if he meets such a wise ruler in his life? If he continues to be pretentious, the world will say that his own is not right!

At this moment, I suddenly remembered a poem that the man in front of me had just written on the top of Mount Tai: "...There are clouds that swept my chest, and the birds that flew into my eyes. They would climb to the top and look down at all the mountains."

So bold! So heroic!

I thought of a poem that this person had written before: "...The mountains are never too high and the sea is never too deep. Zhou Gong vomited food and the world is returned to his heart."

So broad! Such a mind!

Thinking of what Ji Kang said just now, in order to avoid the harm caused by the people in the aligned rivers, Zhou Zi made up his mind to prepare to govern the two rivers for no reason, and his heart trembled.

At this time, I heard the young king in front of me say to myself sincerely:

"Mr. Zhou Zi, when I was in Liao, I heard from a young age that Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian talk about you. They told me that in the Qi court, Mr. Zhou Zi is a rare wise minister."

"At that time, I thought, how great it would be if I could have the assistance of a wise minister like you! Mr. Zhou Zi, a real man will be in the next life and walk between heaven and earth. He will do his own business, and he will not be a human being for the rest of his life."

Seeing that Zhou Zi did not refute him, but was listening carefully to his speech, Ji Kang was secretly happy.

"Mr. Zhou Zi, today, the emperor is in trouble, and there are many countries, and the conquests are endless. The people of the world have suffered for hundreds of years. Ji Kang is not talented, and he is willing to inherit the aspirations of his ancestors, work hard to achieve success, and save all the people."

"Now our Yan State has occupied Yan and Qi, with a territory of tens of millions of miles, with a population of tens of millions, and it is already showing a rising atmosphere. It is just that great talents like Mr. Zhou Zi are needed to assist him."

"Mr. Zhou Zi, it's true that Ji Kang is determined to end these hundreds of years of troubled times. As long as our Yan Kingdom cultivates and rests in the past two years, we can raise troops to eliminate the princes of the world and unify the world. Ji Kang is eager to seek talent for this."

"Ji Kang wants Mr. Zhou Zi, a wise minister like you, to assist Ji Kang. Ji Kang sincerely invites Mr. Zhou Zi to think twice and give me this opportunity."

Ji Kang knew deeply that since ancient times, everyone had desires and each had their own desires. Some people sought fame and some people sought profit. Even monks in their previous lives also hoped to practice and become Buddhas; those who were pure in their hearts and few desires and were indifferent to fame and fortune also hoped to be able to become immortals.

Wherever sincerity comes, metal and stone will open up.

I don’t believe it, and I can’t get the allegiance of the old man Zhou Zi!

After hearing what Ji Kang said, Zhou Zi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

I have to say that King Kang of Yan treated him like this, and he was full of sincerity. The original kings and King Jian of Qi had never treated him like this! Since ancient times, there have been no kings like Ji Kang, but there are really few!

If you really follow King Kang of Yan, you will achieve something.

Then in the future, you will definitely be able to keep your name in history.

King Kang of Yan and himself will also become models of kings and ministers, and will be passed down as a good story throughout the ages.

Moreover, Zhou Zi knew about Ji Kang's actions after he came to Qidi.

First, he exempted the taxes from the people in Qi, and then worshiped the Jiang surname of Qi, King Xiang of Qi and the Queen of the King. It can be said that just because of these two points, Ji Kang had already taken the hearts of the people in Qi as his own.

Forget it, forgot! Just follow such a wise king!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zi looked around and found that Tian Guang, Han Fei, Ju Wu and others were all looking at him with great enthusiasm.

He sighed and said to Ji Kang: "The king treats me so kindly. If Zhou Zi disagrees with me, he will be ungrateful! But Zhou Zi has three conditions here, so please agree."

Ji Kang was extremely happy when he heard Zhou Zi's words.

He hurriedly said to Zhou Zi: "Please talk to Mr. Zhou Zi, I will listen carefully."

"The king, Zhou Zi once served as a minister in Qi State and had a relationship with King Jian of Qi. Now King Jian of Qi has been moved to Liao by King Jian. Zhou Zi wants to invite the king here. As long as King Jian of Qi is not seeking restoration of the country, the king should not find an opportunity to kill King Jian of Qi, with the heart of the ministers of Zhou."

Ji Kang's brow frowned slightly, but then unfolded.

He said to Zhou Zi: "Mr. Zhou Zi, I agree to this condition. As long as Tian Jian is in Liao and follows the laws of our Yan State, I will treat each other with courtesy without harming you."

"Secondly, Zhou Zi was born and raised in Qi, and also lived in Qi for many years. He knew a lot about the powerful clans in Qi. If the king wanted to eradicate the powerful in the future, he would not consult the weak ministers, and he would be in the hometown of the old ministers."

Ji Kang felt a little nervous. It seemed that the decision to move the powerful clans in Qi to Liao and disperse the counties and counties before was correct.

These powerful clans of Qi are indeed not very honest!

He looked at next Zhouzi with gratitude and said:

"Mr. Zhou Zi, I agree with this condition. Let me tell you the third point."

Zhou Zi looked at the surrounding Qi prisoners of war and said to Ji Kang:

"King, these tens of thousands of prisoners of war are now your people. The King asked them to build dams and build canals and warehouses here, but I had no objection. But I still beg the King to give them the identity of their true people and treat them well."

Ji Kang pondered for a while and looked at the surrounding Qi prisoners of war looking at him looking at him.

He couldn't help but move his heart, nodded, and whispered to the surrounding prisoners of war: "Mr. Zhou Zi said so well, from now on, you will be my people. Building embankments and opening canals and warehouses is a matter of benefiting the people in Qi."

"I decided to give you and others the treatment. From now on, you will be given compensation, leave, and wait for family visits. This is the same treatment as the National Construction Corps."

When Tian Guang heard Ji Kang say this, he immediately passed on the oral order that Ji Kang had just issued and sent to the soldiers.

After hearing Ji Kang's words, the prisoners of war in Qi fell to the ground together and shouted:

"Thank you, your lord."

Ji Kang turned around and smiled and said to Zhou Zi: "Mr. Zhou Zi, I have agreed to all three conditions."

Zhou Zi tidied up his clothes, took a step back, slowly bowed to the ground, and said in his mouth:

"My king is so generous, he is truly a wise king and a wise king. Zhou Zi is not talented, so he is willing to follow my king for his sake."

After saying that, he kowtowed deeply to Ji Kang.

Ji Kang accepted Zhou Zi's great gift from the emperor and his subjects, helped Zhou Zi up, and smiled at Zhou Zi:

"Mr. Zhou Zi can assist me, and God is really helping me, and I am happy to be happy in Yan State."

Zhou Zi said to Ji Kang with emotion:

"Your Majesty, I have acted violently against my king many times before. Please forgive me."

Ji Kang laughed and said to Zhou Zi:

"Before, Mr. Zhou Zi was not my minister, and I am sorry for you."

"Thank you for forgiveness from my king."

At this time, the prisoners of war in the distance had already known Ji Kang's edict and cheered.
