[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House

Ying Zheng and his party were welcomed in by the officials. Zheng Guo was old and could not stand the rain and caught some cold.

Li Si asked Ying Zheng for instructions, and Ying Zheng asked the officials to call in servants and maids who could be used, and asked the doctor to treat Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo ate some soft and rotten hot food and drank medicine. Li Si came to visit him and said, "Old brother, take a rest. It seems that the king really values ​​you. The king said that you are the national treasure of Daqin. Wait a minute." You will raise it well, and then discuss the matter of repairing the canal."

Zheng Guo has always been quiet, so at this time, his face was moved, his nose was sore, and he would inevitably compare Ying Zheng with Han Wang. This comparison made Zheng Guo feel guilty towards Ying Zheng.

It's just that Zheng Guo was always a Korean. He went to Qin with the determination to die, and he was also loyal to his own country. It was impossible to turn against him so simply.

Especially Zheng Guo's family, more than 100 people, are all in the hands of King Han. Whether Zheng Guo is dead or flees to Qin, isn't it all for the sake of his own family.

Zheng Guo had no choice but to admire the young King Qin, and felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Li Si supported him to sit on the couch, and said, "What's on your mind, you've already seen King Qin, why can't you say anything?"

Zheng Guoxin thought, because he saw King Qin, he felt in a dilemma.

Zheng Guo hesitated for a long time, and said: "Brother, I want to ask you about someone."

Li Sidao: "Who is it?"

Zheng Guo hesitated again, and said: "It's a distant niece of mine. We are both from Shandong. After I entered Qin, I got lost with this niece. His parents entrusted me to take care of her, but I didn't fulfill my responsibilities for a day. I feel guilty. I found out not long ago that she seems to have entered the palace. I wanted to delay you and ask the king, but... I was afraid that these trivial matters would make the king unhappy."

Li Si laughed and said: "Brother, you are wrong. The king will not think of you because of such a trivial matter. It was because of this. What is the name of your niece?"

Zheng Guo hesitated again, and after a long time, he said, "Yu Lan."

Li Sidao: "Okay, I'll make a note. When I'm happy with the king, I'll go and ask. You can rest assured and take care of your body quickly to be serious."

Li Si comforted Zheng Guo a few words, then stood up and left.

Li Si originally thought that Zheng Guo was alone, he would not care about his family or his mouth, but he did not expect to have a lost niece, which made Zheng Guo unhappy every day. If he could relieve Zheng Guo of this worry, Xiuqu would be at his fingertips.

Li Si soon went to see Ying Zheng, who was resting in the room where he was staying and asked Li Si to come in.

Li Si knelt down to salute Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. must have something important to come to my place."

Li Si smiled and said: "I am ashamed of myself, the king has seen through everything."

Ying Zheng said, "Sir, please sit down."

Only then did Li Si get up and sit down, and Ying Zheng asked Liu Che to sit down as well.

Li Sidao: "To tell you the truth, my lord, I have just met Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo has something, I am too embarrassed to speak up, I want to ask my lord to ask the king."

Ying Zheng smiled, and suddenly an answer popped up in his heart, asking Li Si to continue.

Liu Che also twitched the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Ying Zheng unobtrusively.

Sure enough, he heard Li Si say: "Zheng Guo said that he has a niece named Yulan who works as a maid in the palace. I want to find out if there is such a person."

A little maid, Li Si thought that Ying Zheng must not know about it, and needed to order someone to check it out, but Ying Zheng smiled calmly and said: "There is indeed this person, who lived in Chengjiao's mansion a few years ago. , and was sent to the palace, and the widows saw that Yu Lan was gentle and caring, so they asked her to serve the Queen Mother."

Li Si listened, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good, that's good. If Zheng Guo knows that his niece is safe, he can let go of the burden in his heart, and the canal repair will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Ying Zheng didn't say anything, Li Si heard about it and withdrew.

Liu Che said with a smile: "This Zheng Guo, it seems that it is not easy to shake his stupid loyalty."

Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "Benevolence alone is not enough to make Zheng Guo turn back. A real king needs both kindness and power."

"Exercise kindness and strength?"

Liu Che said: "Could it be that you are going to start scaring Zheng Guo?"

Ying Zheng sneered, and said, "How can you call it scaring."

Li Si couldn't wait to tell the news to Zheng Guo. He only said that Yulan was serving in the palace, not that the queen mother was in the palace. Politics.

Li Si told him to recover from his illness. Zheng Guo slept for a day, drank medicine the next day, and broke out in a cold sweat. Apart from being weak and weak, he was mostly healed.

The maid served Zheng Guo and got up when she heard a knock on the door.

The maid opened the door, and seeing that it was the Wei Wei of Xianyang Palace, Zheng Guo hurriedly invited Liu Che into the room.

But Liu Che stood where he was, and said with a smile, "Sir, Your Majesty invites you to come over."

Zheng Guo didn't doubt that he was there, so he dressed neatly and followed Liu Che away.

A group of people entered the main hall, Ying Zheng had already sat in the front seat, and Li Si also came and sat down.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Ying Zheng said with a smile, "You don't need to be formal, just take your seats."

Liu Che and Zheng Guo sat down, and Ying Zheng said with a smile: "I'm looking for everyone today, and I actually want to talk about the canal repair."

Everyone remained silent, listening to Ying Zheng continue.

Ying Zheng paused, tapped lightly on the table with his hands, with a relaxed expression, and said, "When we talk about canal repair, we have to mention King Han. Han An is the new King Han. His teacher Wang Wan once taught Overwhelmed, Han An's reputation spread far and wide before he came to the throne, and he is cunning and changeable, which is difficult to deal with."

As he said this, he fixed his eyes on Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo's eyes panicked, and he suddenly looked up at Ying Zheng. Seeing Ying Zheng's smiling expression, he immediately lowered his head with a pale face.

Ying Zheng almost trembled when he saw Zheng Guo, but Li Si didn't know the situation, nor did he know what the relationship between Han Wang and Xiu Canal was.

Yingzheng continued unhurriedly, and continued: "Why does the construction of the canal have anything to do with King Han? I think you want to ask... King Han is cunning. He knows the strength of Qin. In order to prevent Great Qin from putting pressure on the six kingdoms of Shandong, I just thought of a stupid solution—Tired Qin!"

After he finished speaking, Zheng Guo couldn't sit still any longer, and fell to the ground with a "dong".

Li Si looked at Zheng Guo's face and felt that something was wrong. Even if Zheng Guo was sick and weak, he shouldn't have such a scary face.

Li Si went to help Zheng Guo up.

I heard Ying Zheng say in a quiet tone: "The King of Han sent a middleman into Qin, and Han An wanted to repair a broken canal through laborious methods, so that the Great Qin would lose its soldiers and generals, right? Zheng Guo."

Ying Zheng's last two words were light and light, Zheng Guo's whole body trembled, and he suddenly got up and knelt on the ground without raising his head or speaking.

Li Si's eyes widened. He didn't expect his close friend to be a middleman sent by South Korea. He was speechless immediately, and Zheng Guo's attitude undoubtedly admitted it.

Ying Zheng stood up, sneered, walked slowly in front of Zheng Guo, and said: "Zheng Guo, I not only know this, but also know the three treaty agreements between you and King Han...it can't be done—deadly seal the marquis—live Fleeing from Qin, Zheng Guo, right?"

Zheng Guo trembled every time he heard a word he said, and finally opened his frightened eyes wide, and looked up at Ying Zheng. When King Han sent him to Qin, he had already said that this matter is absolutely confidential. There were no more than three people, but Ying Zheng didn't say a word at this time, and said it clearly and clearly.

It was impossible for Zheng Guo not to be surprised. His face was pale and frighteningly white, as if he would fall down again if he was touched by someone.

Seeing Zheng Guo's pale face, Ying Zheng kept silent, and sneered again, saying, "Zheng Guo, don't you want to ask how the widow knows? Zheng Guo, don't you want to know who betrayed you?" Are you loyal?"

Zheng Guo's hands were trembling, almost falling to the floor, his lips trembled twice, but he still didn't speak in the end.

Liu Che looked at him like that, if Ying Zheng put pressure on him again, he might die on the spot, but the gain would not be worth the loss. Seeing Ying Zheng's joy in playing, Liu Che couldn't help coughing lightly.

Ying Zheng glanced sideways at Liu Che, then turned to Zheng Guo and said, "Actually, you already know the answer in your heart...too few people know about this matter, except you, and Han Wang, there is only one other person." I know, but she...entered the palace, met the widow, and began to indulge in the gentle village of Wufu and Minfeng in Daqin. You are still concerned about her comfort for the sake of the country's righteousness, but she betrayed you. "

Zheng Guo finally spoke and said, "Yes...it's Yu..."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "She's not your distant niece at all, she's Han An's daughter, the princess of Korea, right?"

Li Si was so surprised that he couldn't help himself. He looked at Zheng Guo and couldn't believe it.

Ying Zheng turned his back, and said in a regretful and sighing tone: "Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo, the widows are not worth it for you. If you die as a marquis and flee to Qin alive, you will be betrayed by someone if you do this. , I have pity on you."

Zheng Guo's eyes were sore, and tears burst into tears.

Liu Che coughed lightly again, took a step forward, and said decently: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo is a rare hydraulic talent. The country has committed crimes and meritorious deeds, and the cultivation of channels can also let the children of Shandong feel the king's love for talents."

Hearing what Liu Che said, Li Si immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Wei Wei's words are very reasonable. Now is an extraordinary period, and we should use extraordinary people!"

Zheng Guo didn't expect that someone would excuse him at this time. He looked at Liu Che and Li Si in surprise, and then couldn't help crying, saying, "I've died with more guilt..."

Ying Zheng said at this time: "Zheng Guo, you have more than 100 people to die, so what about your family members, do you have more than [-] people to die?"

Zheng Guo was shocked all over, and his eyes became a little dull.

Ying Zheng said again: "Han An is cunning, it is impossible to spare your family, don't you know how to turn back?"

Zheng Guo tremblingly said: "Your Majesty...what does Your Majesty mean?"

Yingzheng sat down and stared at Zheng Guodao: "What I mean, since you have entered my Daqin, you are a subject of my Daqin. If I want you to be the Hequling, you are my Daqin's Hequling. As long as you can repair it for the widow When a Zhengguo canal comes out, your crimes can be forgiven... As for your family, the widow is not as sinister as King Han. As long as you are willing to stay here and build the canal steadily, the widow will negotiate with the king of Han. Your family entered Qin safely."

Zheng Guo was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head twice, and said, "The King's Grace! The King's Grace...Sinful Minister...Sinful Minister..."

Ying Zheng said: "Don't thank the widow in a hurry, you are a body of guilt. If you can't repair the canal, or build a bad canal, the widow will punish you for your crime... Similarly, if you can build a channel , can benefit the people, the widow will give you an official title, and what the king of Han can give you, the widow can also give you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Guo and Li Si breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Zheng Guo kowtowed again.

Seeing his weakness, which was about to pass out, Ying Zheng said, "Go down, so that you can take care of your health, and take care of your body before you can talk about repairing the canal."

Zheng Guo thanked him, and was supported by his attendants to retreat.

Seeing Zheng Guo walking out, Li Si knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo's family..."

Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop Li Si's words, and said: "Wang Wan once talked about King Han with the widow. This Han An is extremely insidious. If he wants to win over Zheng Guo's family, he can't follow the usual way. The widow has already made up his mind." , Mister's current job is to take good care of Zheng Guo, Mr. is knowledgeable and profound, and you have to trouble Mr. to take care of water power."

Hearing what Ying Zheng said, Li Si responded immediately, saying: "My humble minister will definitely do his best."

Ying Zheng nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Li Si could step back.

After Li Si left, Liu Che said, "What's your best solution?"

Ying Zheng said: "Back then, the widow sent Wang Jian to bring back Zheng Guo's family members, and brought a letter written by Li Si to the effect that King Han cheated first. If Zheng Guo's family members were returned, Qin Guo could ignore previous accusations."

Liu Che said with a smile: "Han An must have refused. If I were Han An, I would also refuse. Zheng Guo is a hydraulic talent. He sent him to the powerful Qin State. What if Qin State turned his face and refused to recognize him?"

"That's right." Ying Zheng smiled, "Han An refused, and he was very rude, saying that South Korea is not up to him, and the decision needs to be made by the old nobles. So just sending someone to go on an envoy will not solve the problem at all."

Liu Che suppressed his smile and said, "Just like dealing with Zheng Guo, you must use both kindness and power, and you must use both civil and military tactics when dealing with South Korea."

"Exactly." Ying Zheng said, "I need someone who can negotiate and command thousands of troops to go to Korea."

As he spoke, he stared at Liu Che with his eyes.

Liu Che's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Speak clearly and logically, even Li Si, Wang Wan, Ganluo can do it, and if you want to use soldiers, Wang Jian, Mengtian and Mengyi can do it too."

Ying Zheng also laughed, and said, "However, they can only choose one, and they can't specialize in all. There is still a good candidate, and you just said it."

Liu Che nodded, smiled and said two words, "It's me."

Ying Zheng said, "It's you."

After the two finished speaking, the main hall was silent. After a long pause, Ying Zheng said, "How is it?"

Liu Che said: "What about it? If you let me go, I will go naturally. It's just a small South Korea."

"But the Tiger Talisman is in the hands of Lu Buwei, so there are definitely not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized. To deal with King Han, we must send troops to really put pressure on him."

Liu Che waited for him to finish, and immediately said: "Lend me Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and Wang Jian will stay in the Lantian Camp."

Ying Zheng frowned and said: "Meng Tian and Meng Yi have never been on the battlefield with real swords and guns. Although they will be powerful in the future, they are still too young. Besides, it was South Korea that Wang Jian led the army to attack. He..."

Liu Che raised his hand to stop Ying Zheng's words, and said, "Although that's the case, it's not what it used to be. You are old enough to be in charge of the government, and Lu Buwei's grudge against you is getting deeper and deeper. If I leave Xianyang, I won't be at ease. If Wang Jian is taken away, I'm even more worried, Wang Jian has already been brave and resourceful in the army, let him stay and garrison the Lantian camp, if something happens, he can also relieve the nearby fire."

Ying Zheng didn't speak any more, just stared at Liu Che for a while, Liu Che smiled and said, "Isn't Han An more terrifying than the Huns? Besides, with the strong strength of Qin State as the supply chain, Wang Jian took down more than 20 South Koreans before. The city, the current South Korea is simply vulnerable."

Ying Zheng's tone was light, with a complex expression between the immaturity of a teenager and the toughness of a young man, and finally said, "It's up to you."

Ying Zheng stayed in Jingshui for two days, and soon returned to Xianyang. Li Si drafted a memorial. Lu Buwei couldn't say anything after reading it, but he didn't want Ying Zheng to really send troops to attack Zheng Guo's family South Korea.

It's not that Lu Buwei doesn't know the importance of water power, but that if he sends troops this time, it means that Ying Zheng has already grasped most of the real power, and his words are already very important.

Lu Buwei had a decent discussion with the court, and the final result was still to send troops. Water power is too precious to Qin, and it is impossible for the Eastern Six Kingdoms to send water talents to Qin. If you want to strengthen the country, you must develop water power.

Liu Che was the main general, Meng Tian and Meng Yi went out for the first time, and the supply troops were soon ready. Li Si stayed in Xianyang with Ying Zheng, and Wang Wan went to South Korea with Liu Che.

When Liu Che was leaving, Ying Zheng took a carriage to the gate of Xianyang City.

Liu Che was dressed in military uniform, with a bronze sword pinned to his waist, and he was riding on a tall horse, looking very energetic.

Yingzheng got out of the car, toasted the soldiers before leaving, and the sky began to drizzle.

Liu Che said with a low laugh: "Go back quickly, you haven't recovered yet, you should be sick from the rain."

Ying Zheng raised his hand, and finally patted him on the shoulder lightly, saying: "The flag has won."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and boarded the carriage without looking back. Liu Che also got on the horse and waved his hand to signal the team to set off.

The sound of the hooves of the horse's hoof was getting farther and farther away. Ying Zheng stood on the carriage, and then turned around. Liu Che's shadow had been submerged by the team and could not be seen.

Ying Zheng stood tall, holding the umbrella pillar of the carriage with his hand, looking in the direction of the team, standing there for a long time.
