Shudan Guan Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Bao Shuya and Guan Zhong have been close friends since their youth. Bao Shuya understood Guan Zhong’s intelligence very well and supported him unconditionally. When they were doing business together, Guan Zhong always gained more interest despite Bao Shuya providing most of the funding, which Bao Shuya explained was because Guan Zhong needed to take care of his old mother. During their time serving the State Qi, Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya worked for two heirs of the state separately, and Guan Zhong had attempted to assassin Xiao Bai the heir that Bao Shuya was serving. However, Guan Zhong didn’t succeed, and Xiao Bai finally hired the state. When Xiao Bai wanted to execute Guan Zhong, Bao Shuya argued that Guan Zhong was a wise man and recommended him to be the prime minister. Guan Zhong conducted a series of revolutions in State Qi after he became the prime minister. Later in his life, Guan Zhong always felt graceful about having Bao Shuya as his friend.
