Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 73
Han Fei was talented and courageous, and was judged by the King of Qin as a man of great talent and broad vision.

As long as it is a talent, Qin Wangzheng can't bear to kill him.

Facing Lu Buwei, who was proficient in the art of Huang Lao, Qin Wangzheng did not agree with his political views, so he was dismissed.

But for Han Fei, Qin Wangzheng couldn't bear to kill him.

After all, Han Fei's works are deafening, like nectar that quenches thirst and enlightens the mind.

What's more, since Qin Xiaogong, the atmosphere of respecting scholars and virtuous people is in Qin State, and officials who are underappreciated enter Qin one after another, and they are able to display their revenge.

In the past, there was Shang Yang, who assisted Xiaogong, and made Qin rise from a corner of the border to a country of tigers and wolves. Later, there were Zhang Yi and Fan Ju, who assisted King Qin to go east and gradually engulfed the six kingdoms.

Han Fei's talent is probably comparable to Shang Yang's. If he is killed, wouldn't it destroy the reputation of Qin's six generations of kings for seeking talents and accepting talents?
Xiaozhinu held Qin Wangzheng's hand tightly, and dared not let it go, for fear that Qin Wangzheng would get angry and Han Fei's head would fall to the ground.

Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows when he saw that Xiao Zhinu was unwilling to let go.

Could it be that Xiao Zhinu wanted the lonely king to let Han Fei go?
Xiao Zhinu took out the bamboo slips one after another, spread out the Kanyu map, and stroked lightly on the border between Korea and Zhao with a knife and pen.

Qin Wangzheng was stunned for a moment and asked Xiao Zhinu repeatedly, finally knowing what Xiao Zhinu was thinking.

Immediately, Qin Wangzheng said indifferently: "Could it be that you want Young Master Fei to revise a letter to persuade Han Wang to break the Han-Zhao alliance?"

Qin Wangzheng breathed a sigh of relief, but shook his head slightly.

This point, Qin Wangzheng has indeed thought about it, but the two countries of Han and Zhao have already sent large armies to the border of Qin State, and it is too late to persuade them now.

But Xiaozhinu insisted on asking King Qin to do it, which made Qin Wangzheng look dignified, thinking that Xiaozhinu was working for the state of Qin, so he decided to give it a try.

Han Fei's residence.

In the study room, there was a faint light, and before entering the mansion, the sound of the knife and pen engraving could be heard.

Han Fei didn't dare to be negligent, holding the bamboo slips in his hand, supporting the desk, and writing vigorously.

After entering the Qin Dynasty, Han Fei couldn't resist the excitement in his heart, wishing to write a thousand words every day.

And Qin Wangzheng treated him well. He once sent silk and Qin Banjin to the mansion, but Han Fei was useless for a long time, and he still wore plain Han clothes.

It seemed to be loyalty to the mother country and contempt for Qin. Qin Wangzheng ordered someone to send a Qin dress, but Han Fei directly refused.

But the King of Qin did not blame him. Instead, he often summoned Han Fei into the palace to discuss Han Fei's works together.

Han Fei's works integrated magic and power into one. For the rule of law school with Shang Yang as the core, Han Feizi only made the "Book of Shang Jun" more organized and clear, more specific and detailed.

At the same time, Han Fei took its essence and discarded its dross, and gradually perfected the rule of power centered on the monarch and the rule of art centered on supervising officials.

More importantly, in Han Fei's works, in addition to boring arguments and reasoning, there are also some humorous idiom stories, such as waiting for the rabbit, self-contradiction, etc., which made Qin Wangzheng feel very happy while reading.

Of course, these articles are still a little bit unfinished, and Han Fei is still rushing to catch up with the progress.

When Qin Wangzheng issued the order, Han Fei frowned, and after reading the edict, he broke out in a cold sweat.

While arguing with King Qin, Han Fei ignored political affairs.

When Han Fei learned that Han Wang was in collusion with Zhao Guo, Han Fei's heart was like a knife, and the results of several months of hard work were burned.

Han Fei smashed the bamboo slips in a fit of anger, almost fainted, and cursed: "King Han was deceived by treacherous ministers, and he ignored his orders!"

If it weren't for Han Fei being the son of the Korean royal family, he would definitely turn against King Qin and serve Qin.

Qin Wangzheng has a sincere attitude, respects the virtuous and corporal, and is definitely a wise king who is thirsty for talents!

Although the success rate of persuading King Han was not high, Han Fei could only do his best.

Han Fei spread out the bamboo slips on the case table, picked up the knife and pen, and engraved the words stroke by stroke.

While engraving, Qin Wangzheng stepped into the study lightly, saw Han Fei buried in writing, smiled lightly, and waited silently outside the hall.

Seeing Han Fei writing, Qin Wangzheng said slowly: "Mr. Xiong Wenzhu illuminates the darkness, sweeping away the haze in the lonely king's heart."

Han Fei was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, and he almost fell down. He didn't have time to straighten his clothes, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty came to the humble house, and I have never greeted you from afar. I hope you will be in the sea."

Qin Wangzheng smiled calmly: "It's okay! It's just a temporary idea."

After all, Qin Wangzheng swept through the narrow study room, there was a table, a silk cushion, and a dimly glowing lamp.

Qin Wangzheng's face darkened, and he scolded the servant angrily, why didn't he prepare high-quality living utensils for Han Fei.

Han Fei explained to the servant that he didn't like gorgeous study rooms.

Qin Wangzheng held Han Fei's arm and said, "The young master has both political integrity and talent. The lonely king is very pleased."

After all, the two walked out of the study room and chatted freely in the main hall, from personal experience to family and country feelings, from "Book of Shang Jun" to "Han Feizi", laughing heartily and enjoying themselves.

The two became more and more happy, claiming that they met a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, and Qin Wangzheng had an indelible smile on his face, and wanted to have a drink with Han Fei.

After drinking for three rounds, Han Fei was so drunk that he raised his glass excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

With a smile on his face, Qin Wangzheng blushed, waved his hands and said, "But it's okay to say!"

After Han Fei got the agreement, he said: "Your Majesty, you should only select talents and use them. Why do you want to use Yao Jia, a disciple of the world, a great thief of Liang, and a son of a poor family?"

The smile on Qin Wangzheng's face gradually faded away, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he said with a smile, "Why can't you use it, a commoner!"

"A genius like Shang Yang and a man of power like Zhang Yi don't all come from poor families?"

"There are talented people in poor families. As long as they are willing to serve Great Qin, why not?"

Han Fei nodded frequently: "The sons of poor families are all looking for things for themselves and working for Daqin. It's a joke!"

Qin Wangzheng looked at Han Fei coldly, but Han Fei didn't understand Qin Wang's killing intent.
Han Fei ignored King Qin's hawk-like eyes and said, "Brother Yao Jia, I heard that King Qin gave him platinum and asked him to go on an envoy to the six kingdoms of Shandong. What a pity."

Han Fei's words came to an abrupt end, Qin Wangzheng looked serious, and asked, "Why?"

Han Fei suddenly woke up and felt dizzy, and said coldly: "Yao Jia went on a mission with a lot of money and secretly bribed the ministers of the six countries."

"It's called diplomatic relations, but it's actually forming a party for personal gain, putting gold, silver and jewelry in your own pocket."

"All the ministers from the six countries have made good friends with him. Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Qin Wangzheng's face was gloomy, and he was about to remind Han Fei to pay attention to his words. Unexpectedly, Han Fei became more serious and ignored the reminder: "Your Majesty, don't let the villain deceive you!"

Qin Wangzheng sobered up instantly, looked at Han Fei with cold eyes, and said in a low voice, "Drunk and speak the truth!"

This sentence washed away King Qin's inherent perception of Han Fei.
