Qin Xiang

Chapter 23

Lord Xinling's move can be regarded as stepping on the head of Qin State, and his real fame has moved the world.Meng Ao, who was fighting abroad, had no choice but to back away, and was defeated and fled.All of a sudden, Lord Xinling was full of people, and guests from all over the world came to present their art of war. They asked Lord Xinling, who was able to defeat the Qin army, to give advice. Based on this, Lord Xinling compiled "The Art of War of Prince Wei".

This is the time when Lord Xinling Wei Wuji was at his happiest, when he woke up to take over the power of the world, and lay drunk on the lap of a beauty.Even his half-brother Wei Wang would bring Lord Longyang to congratulate him. Lord Xinling was full of ambition and wished to make another career right away to shine in the annals of history.

It's a pity that the Qin army retreated to Hangu Pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he had to let go of his ambition for the time being.

"Damn Wei Wuji!" Ying Zichu ruthlessly threw the slips in his hand on the ground, and the slender bamboo strips scattered all over the ground like a goddess scattering flowers.The monarch was furious, and the eunuchs didn't dare to clean it up. They could only huddle in a corner like a quail, minimizing their presence.

Meng Ao was so ashamed that he knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists together and said, "It's an old minister whose skills are not as good as others. He was defeated by Lord Xinling and lost the face of our country. Please punish him."

Meng Ao's hair is gray now, because of this defeat, he is even more depressed.Ying Zichu couldn't help worrying about his old appearance, whether this general who had made great contributions to the state of Qin would no longer be able to go to the battlefield.

"General Meng. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so you don't have to." Compared with civil servants, Ying Zheng prefers these bold and loyal generals.Coupled with this defeat, the fault is not entirely on Meng Ao alone.So seeing Meng Ao like this, he couldn't help but stepped forward to help him.

"As the commander-in-chief, the old minister is at a disadvantage in leading the army, so he deserves to be punished." Meng Ao's footing was steady, and Ying Zheng put in more effort, but he still couldn't help him.This made Ying Zheng a little annoyed, his chest heaving.

"My lord, you are still young, you should just stay on the sidelines and observe. You cannot be meddled in national affairs." Ying Zichu said coldly, causing Yingzheng to feel a chill down his spine, and returned to his original position after pleading guilty. , unless the father asks, never speak easily.

He was also puzzled, because according to his father's previous attitude, he would naturally comfort Meng Ao and would not blame him.But today is so different.Could it be that he felt that he had lost face with Lord Xinling and vented his anger on Meng Ao?Now Ying Zheng can't figure out what his father is thinking at all.

Ying Zichu was satisfied, and seemed to have forgotten Meng Ao who was kneeling, and asked Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei directly: "Lu Qing's family, if I still send you to lead the army this time, can I be sure to break through the interception of Lord Xinling outside the Hangu Pass?" ?”

Lu Buwei pondered for a while, and then said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I am not sure. This time the Allied Forces of the Five Nations are aggressive. After tasting the sweetness of victory, they will work together even more. Coupled with Lord Xinling's excellent command and combat ability, It is very difficult to retreat from the enemy. The advantages brought by an outstanding general are immeasurable."

"Yes, I think of Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an back then. Wherever he went, no one could beat him. He is really a figure like a god of war. It's a pity that I don't have the chance to appreciate his demeanor." Ying Zichu shook his head regretfully, Then his expression became firm, "However, Qin's face must not be damaged by the hands of the widow. Then Wei Wuji's victory this time, we, as the defeated party, should also go to celebrate in a graceful manner, and by the way, we should go and celebrate with Wei Wuji. countries to ease relations.”

Lu Buwei is indeed the most trusted person of the King of Qin. He immediately thought of the king's intentions and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the old minister will send someone to bring ten thousand gold and send it to the King of Wei and Lord Xinling respectively. It is still the majesty who is majestic." Only by doing this can we resolve the border crisis.”

Lu Buwei's flattery made Ying Zichu very comfortable. He and Lu Buwei looked at each other and smiled: "The one who knows me is the prime minister."

"Everyone says Lord Xinling is capable of governing the country with his writing and peace with his martial arts. But in the eyes of the few, he is a useless person. Anyone in our country of Qin is more capable than him." Ying Zichu's smile was still gentle, He hid all the black water in his belly, "It's a pity, it's a pity, the king he met was an incompetent, jealous half-brother. In addition to the fire we added, King Wei will never tolerate it." Xia Xinling Lord continues to hold the important power. What's the use of being able to do nothing but not have the opportunity to display it? It would be great if all the talented people in the world could come to Qin. Only Qin is the one that they can use. Great place to kick in."

"The old minister will do his best to recruit more talented people for our country of Qin." Lu Buwei stood up and said words like an oath, which made Ying Zichu even more happy.

A few days ago, Ying Zichu was so exhausted that he passed out and drank bitter medicine for a few days.But after that, his body was as if nothing had happened, he was very healthy, his complexion was rosy, and he was good at eating.As if the illness that night was a dream shared by everyone, Ying Zichu kept showing off his strength.Yesterday, I went hunting in the garden with Lu Buwei, and made a fox fur for Zhao Ji from the fox I caught.

"I heard that you personally invited a ten-year-old boy to be a guest. It's really a big deal." Lu Buwei knows his monarch well, and Ying Zichu also knows Lu Buwei very well. The two have known each other for more than ten years for the same goal. Understanding nature is incomparable to others.

"That's right. Although Gan Luo is still young, he is still a talent to be cultivated." Lu Buwei thought of more and more diners, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and even the beard on his lips became curved.

"Oh? Hearing you mention him again and again, I'm interested in meeting this child in person." Ying Zichu turned to Yingzheng and ordered, "Wang'er, you have a close relationship with Ganluo, why not?" Invite him to the palace every day, and don't tell him that the widow wants to see him."

Ying Zheng was a little hesitant. Although he had a lot of schoolwork, he would still go to Gan Luo occasionally to listen to Wei Liao's lectures on the art of war, or to discuss issues with Gan Luo, and he gained a lot.But at the same time, he also learned that Gan Luo is really a person who regards fame and wealth as dung, and he is more free and unrestrained than his uncle Wei Liao.If you want to let him enter the palace, you don't know whether it is good or bad.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through him, and finally he respectfully agreed.He didn't know why his father had treated him so nonchalantly since the illness, and his behavior was very different.But his intuition told him that at this time, he should tighten his tail and proceed with caution.

After discussing the matter, Ying Zichu left with Lu Buwei.In the whole hall, only Meng Ao who was still kneeling and Ying Zheng who was standing still were left.

Ying Zheng stepped forward and helped Meng Ao up with his own hands.Fortunately, Meng Ao was always strong, even though he knelt for so long, it didn't affect him at all, at most he staggered a bit when he stood up because of the numbness of his legs.

"General Meng, thank you for your hard work." Ying Zheng felt that he couldn't offend a group of veterans. His father only slapped him, and he had to give the sweet dates.Therefore, his posture was very good, which made Meng Ao feel more fond of this little prince.

Meng Ao jumped on the spot twice, and the numbness on his legs eased a lot.

"Thank you, Prince, for speaking on behalf of the old minister. I am really ashamed." Meng Ao couldn't help but mention the little prince who seemed to be confused, "Prince, the reason why the old minister didn't want to get up before was because no matter what our identities are, , must listen to the king. He is the only heaven. And the prince, as long as he is still the prince for a day, he must be like the old minister."

Ying Zheng thought of thousands of reasons, but he didn't think about this alone. There was a turmoil in his heart, but he maintained a calm posture on the surface: "Thank you, General, for your advice. Zheng will remember it."
