Guo Kai was a traitorous courtier and a homosexual to King Xiang of Zhao. Before talking about Guo Kai, let's talk about Zhao Mourning Xiang Wang and the reason why he likes Guo Kai as a man.
King Xiangxiang of Zhao was the monarch of the State of Zhao during the Warring States period, and the several Zhao kings before him were King Wuling of Zhao, King Huiwen of Zhao, and King Xiaocheng of Zhao, all of whom were relatively wise and made certain contributions to the State of Zhao during their reign. However, there were also meritorious deeds, especially during the reign of Zhao Xiaocheng, the father of King Xiangxiang of Zhao, the State of Zhao was almost destroyed because of his greed. In 262 BC, King Zhao of Qin attacked Korea and wanted to take Han Shangdang, and Korea dedicated Shangdang to King Xiaocheng of Zhao, who gladly accepted, and then there was a fierce battle between the State of Qin and the State of Zhao. Although the State of Zhao underwent the military reform of "Hufu Riding and Shooting" during the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, the strength of the country was not as deep as that of the State of Qin, and the nest fighting of the State of Zhao was very fierce, and the State of Zhao eventually suffered a major defeat at Qin, but instead laid the hegemonic position of the State of Qin.

After Zhao Xiao became king, the strength of the Zhao state was stagnant and could not compete with the qin state. King Xiang of Zhao succeeded to the throne and cleaned up the mess left by his father. Fortunately, the Zhao Kingdom was full of talents, although the famous generals Zhao Hao and Zhao Kuo were dead, and Lian Po was already old, but the Zhao State also had a new generation of generals and marshals, such as Li Mu and Sima Shang. Compared with King Xiaocheng of Zhao, King Xiang of Zhao was obviously much weaker. In fact, judging from the several Zhao kings after King Wuling of Zhao, the "quality" of each generation of Zhao kings has become more and more inferior.
King Xiang of Zhao was very problematic in his personal private life, first of all, there was the exposure of his love affair with Guo Kai, and then there was the incident of pampering his daughter and deposing the queen, and sealing the recalcitrant Zhao Qian as the crown prince
Guo Kai was a person who served Him during the period when Zhao Mourning Xiang was still the Prince, but his status was not high, just a companion to the side of Prince Zhao Yan. Guo Kai is a clever person with a sweet mouth, likes to pat himself on the back, and is selfish. How dangerous it is for such a person to be placed around, everyone should have a certain understanding. Guo Kai, relying on his good relationship with Zhao Yan, wantonly collected the people's fat and people's ointment in the Zhao Kingdom and sought money. However, Zhao Guo was not unknown to Guo Kai's evil deeds, and Lian Po was one of them. Lian Po was a major general of the State of Zhao, who once led the Zhao army to capture Yangjin alone in the Battle of the Five Kingdoms, and was known for his courage. From the time when Zhao Xiaocheng was king, Lian Po was an important minister of the Zhao state, and even more so in the period of Zhao Mourning Xiang Wang, that is, a minister of the elder level, who had the power and status to influence the decision-making of the king.
How did that high-powered Lian Po offend Guo Kai? The reason is because Lian Po is too upright, and his temperament is urgent, which can be seen from the incident when he was jealous of Lin Xiang and amplified his words. Lian Po is a particularly straightforward person, what to say, not used to which person is not used to it, absolutely not like Guo Kai, in front of one set, behind is another set. Lian Po saw that Guo Kai was not a good person, and at a large banquet, Guo Kai did something that angered Lian Po, and Lian Po did not care about three seven twenty-one, and directly scolded Guo Kaikai. Lian Po's man, with a big voice, and such a crowded occasion, a little movement will attract a group of people to watch, not to mention the sound of Lian Po's loud rebuke, and the ministers who smelled the gossip gathered together to comment on Lian Po's rebuke of Guo Kai.
Guo Kai, a villain, was particularly careful with his eyes, and he felt that he had been insulted by Lianpo, and he hated Lianpo from then on. King Xiang of Zhao favored Guo Kai and trusted him very much. When Lian Po led his troops to attack the State of Wei, Guo Kai framed Lian Po for rebellion, and King Xiang of Zhao believed Guo Kai, took away Lian Po's military power, and replaced Lian Po with Le Cheng. Lian Po was furious and did not accept the edict of King Xiang of Zhao, and also sent troops to attack Lecheng.
Later, Lian Po did not dare to return to the Zhao Kingdom, so he had to defect to the Wei State alone. Since then, Lian Po has been staying in the State of Wei.
King Xiang of Zhao mourned that he was incorruptible and did not use it, and li mu was not used, so that the State of Zhao was beaten by the State of Qin and did not even have the strength to fight back, and became weaker and weaker. After the death of King Xiang of Zhao, King Youmiao of Zhao succeeded to the throne. King Youmiao of Zhao was even worse than King Xiang of Zhao, just a fool. Can you imagine what kind of fate Zhao Guo will face? The State of Qin had completely controlled the situation in the Warring States, and only needed to eliminate all these princely states to complete the great cause of reunification. During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, war against the State of Zhao was launched continuously, and the State of Zhao could not defeat it at all. The ministers and King Youmiao of Zhao thought of Lianpo, and Guo Kai immediately stood up against it, saying that Lianpo was old and could not lead troops. As a result, Lian Po lost the opportunity to return to the Zhao Kingdom and died depressed. Guo Kai made many unforgivable mistakes because of his selfishness, and finally he killed King Youmiao of Zhao and defected to Qin. In order to move the treasure of the Zhao state to the qin state, when he returned home to collect the money, he was killed by a group of robbers.
