Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

107

After the court was dispersed that day, the Zhangtai Palace was sidelined.

Zhao Weizhen and Lu Buwei stepped across the threshold in response to the waiter's message.As soon as the two entered the side hall, the young Ying Zheng who was standing in it unfolded the silk script in his hand: "Madam and Father Zhong please have a look."

The state of Qin is promoting paper, from the monarch to the school, all use cheap and light paper.However, Han Fei still used the silk script to write the letter. This behavior alone is enough to see the young master Fei's attitude towards Qin.

The servant handed over the silk book to the couple.

In history, after Han Fei was forced to enter Qin Dynasty, he did write to Qin Wangzheng to propose to save Han and destroy Zhao.Even though Han Fei entered Qin many years earlier, with different reasons and backgrounds, his position has not changed.

The silk book in my hand still holds the same point of view as the chapter of "Han Feizi Cun Han".

Zhao Weizhen and Lu Buwei took the silk book, and at first they both paused because of Han Fei's handwriting.

"It's a good handwriting." Lu Buwei commented: "The handwriting is sharp, with hidden murderous intentions."

Young Master Fei was born with a youthful appearance, and he looked noble and easy to handle, but the way he wrote revealed his sharp personality.As for the writing, the regulations are clear and logical.

To sum up, the logic of Gong Zifei's article is progressive.

First of all, he mentioned that South Korea is weak, and has never troubled Qin for many years.

In the face of a powerful and aggressive country, South Korea, as a weak country, is like a fish on a sword. It can only offer land and people, bow its head and beg for peace. It poses no threat to Qin and is willing to become a vassal of Qin.

Secondly, Zhao Guo is ambitious.In recent years, Zhao Guo attacked Wei and Yan. Even Qin Lianqi and even the Xiongnu couldn't hold their heads up.

Although there is no direct conflict between Zhao State and Qin State, their purpose is still to expand their territories and strengthen themselves.If Qin sits idly by, sooner or later it will become the most threatening enemy among the six countries.

In the end, Qin and Zhao originally had a grudge, and when King Qin Zhao was alive, he kept staring at Zhao Guo to fight.If King Zhao lives for a few more years, it is estimated that Zhao Guo has already been defeated by Qin Guo.Qin Wangzheng, as the most beloved grandson of King Qin Zhao, should fulfill the long-cherished wish of the late king.

From the above point of view, Han Fei drew his own conclusion: South Korea is willing to support Qin State in attacking Zhao State, and even listed a series of conditions to send troops together with Qin State and be the strongest reinforcement to attack Zhao State.

With a conclusion, it is a suggestion.Han Fei also stated the method of stabilizing other princes when attacking Zhao: Qin and Chu had a marriage first, but Chunshenjun broke the alliance before the marriage was completed, and jointly attacked Qin, which could attack Chunshenjun.It not only provoked the relationship between the King of Chu and Lord Chunshen, but also reconciled with Chu through the unfulfilled marriage contract.

Second, South Korea is also willing to help Qin to persuade Wei to send troops to attack Zhao.Wei Guo fought very badly for Zhao Guo, and he would definitely not refuse.

The third is that Yan and Qiben have an alliance with Qin, and they are far away from each other, so they will not object.Maybe the two countries will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and get some benefits from Zhao Guo.

A long article, the writing is concise, to the point, and it also gives a suitable course of action.

After she and Lu Buwei finished reading the long article, and Zhao Weizhen closed the silk script, Ying Zheng turned around.

"What do Madam and Father Zhong think?" Ying Zheng asked.

Zhao Weizhen: "My son is not what he said, it's not impossible."

This is the most terrifying place.

Every part of Han Fei's long article makes sense and is correct.

"If you don't act according to the young master's words, let him be in charge." Lu Buwei added lightly: "It's not impossible to destroy Zhao."

But at the end, his words suddenly changed: "But it can't be done."

Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Li Si.

Li Si, who had been standing in the side hall, did not calmly say until he met King Qin's eyes, "I think it is impossible."

"Why?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty is not used by Qin, what do you think?" Li Si asked instead.

"He is the son of South Korea. If he does not work for Qin, it is a matter of course." Ying Zheng replied.

"This is one of the reasons." Li Si said: "The second is that the young master did not enter the Qin Dynasty. He could not persuade the king of Qin to let go of his heart of swallowing Korea. Qin Lian, after returning to Han, Gong Zifei is a great hero. Si is in awe of Gong Zifei's talent and admires him, but Si does not think that he has no self-interest."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to gesture to the silk book in Zhao Weizhen's hand: "This letter is not written for the two countries, but only for the young master."

"South Korea is adjacent to Qin State. For Qin State, South Korea is a rotten sore on the confidant's heart. It doesn't usually get sick, but when something happens, it will happen, and the pain is unbearable." Li Si said again: "In my opinion, my lord If you don’t write a letter, what you are waiting for is King Qin’s decision, and the king can take advantage of it.”

"Oh?"

A look of surprise appeared on the calm face of the young monarch.

What he was waiting for was Li Si's objection, but even Ying Zheng didn't expect that Li Si not only objected, but even gave further advice.

"It's only been a few hours since the young master Fei wrote the letter." Ying Zheng said: "Li Qing has a countermeasure, and I think Li Qing has already thought about it."

Li Si smiled bitterly: "When we were classmates in the past, my son and I were like brothers, so naturally I know what he thinks."

Ying Zheng: "Li Qing might as well speak out."

"Qin State is going to attack South Korea, but does not mention attacking South Korea. South Korea will think that there is room for change, and will be willing to be Qin's vassal state." Li Si said, raising his hand and bowing deeply: "Please allow Si to go to South Korea as an envoy. Si is willing to persuade King Han to meet with Qin Dynasty, and the king can directly take the opportunity to detain King Han as a hostage."

The young monarch in front of him was lost in thought because of Li Si's words.

Today's Ying Zheng looks like an adult. The 16-year-old Qin Wang has long surpassed Zhao Weizhen in height, not immature, only majestic.

He remained silent, and no one would easily break the silence.

This tranquility was initiated by Ying Zheng and ended by Ying Zheng.After a long time, he raised his phoenix eyes again: "No matter what the Koreans say, the purpose is to delay the plan to attack Korea. It's a pity!"

The monarch did not directly respond to Li Si's request.

He turned his head to look at the eunuch in the palace: "I still want to hear what the young master thinks not my own."

The eunuch in the side hall took orders to leave.

After a while, he led the young master Fei who had been waiting outside into the side hall.

Ying Zheng waited patiently for Han Fei to salute, then raised his hand, and the servant returned the silk book in Zhao Weizhen's hand to him.

The young monarch rarely calmed down: "Your article is very good, but I don't intend to adopt it. I have a question and I want to ask you son."

King Qin directly rejected Han Fei's proposal, and the latter was not upset.

Han Fei just took a deep look at Ying Zheng, and then saluted again: "King Qin, please."

Ying Zheng: "If the widow insists on attacking South Korea, what will happen, my lord?"

Han Fei: "..."

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help raising his eyebrows aside.

This question is asked, and it is difficult to look at it horizontally and vertically.

It has to be said that Ying Zheng is now more and more like a rogue king of a big country - he said he was asking a question, but if the answer to this question is omissions, King Qin will behead Han Fei for this reason, and no one will say anything.

But Han Fei didn't back down.

He just raised his head and sorted out his words: "It's a good thing for the monarch to have the master, to advocate, to serve the minister, and to the country."

When Ying Zheng heard the words, the phoenix's eyes lit up without a trace.

Others may not be able to see it, but Zhao Weizhen can tell at a glance that Han Fei has touched Qin Wangzheng's heart with a single word, and he is interested.

"But Young Master Fei wrote a letter and said frankly that he was doing things for Qin." Ying Zheng deliberately retorted: "If the monarch has done something wrong, as a subject, shouldn't you speak out to warn him?"

Han Fei looked at the silk book in Yingzheng's hand: "This is not a family opinion, only one-sided truth."

After speaking, he raised his hand and compared his torso.

"A country is like a body, and the head is on top of the king." Han Fei paused: "Subjects are like hands and feet. Hands and feet should obey the head to do things, and should not give orders to the head."

This principle is completely the core idea of ​​​​centralization.

He is now replying to Qin Wangzheng's words, not only making mistakes, but also clarifying his own point of view.

Moreover, Han Fei is very good at using allusions and metaphors in his articles, and the chapters left in "Han Feizi" have left countless idioms.

The point is, it made Ying Zheng very happy.

It was rare for Yingzheng to show his true feelings in front of his foreign ministers. He sighed, almost regretting, and said, "I don't understand. My son is not such a monarch and minister, so literary, and has practical strategies for governing the country. Why did the king of Han Why not reuse it?"

Han Fei smiled wryly.

He obviously didn't need to answer this question, but the young man still spoke up: "There is more than enough heart but not enough strength."

It's not about himself, but King Han, and even the whole of Korea.

A weak country cannot achieve centralization.Given the political and economic conditions of South Korea, King Han did not accept it, and Han Fei never complained.

"But widows are strong."

Ying Zheng continued: "Young master can serve the widow."

Han Fei replied concisely: "I am in Qin."

It means that everyone else is in the Qin State, and they have written admonitions, so they are working for the Qin State.

But it's not necessarily true how much of it is sincere.

Ying Zheng and Han Fei knew each other well.

"That's it."

So the young man didn't insist on this, he just sneered a few times lukewarmly: "Today, please trouble the young master to go, please go back to the embassy to rest."

After hearing this, Han Fei saluted.

The young man was relieved, but there was also a bit of real regret on his face.He took a deep look at the young King Qin: "The foreign minister resigns."

Pity!

Zhao Weizhen watched Han Fei's back disappear into the side hall, muttering in his heart.

She looked at Ying Zheng again.

Although the young man's expression didn't change, his brows furrowed slightly again.A little displeasure flashed quickly in those black and white phoenix eyes.

This is what it means to be unhappy.

It seems that the first time I meet the capable minister I have been thinking about, I don't feel very good.

Zhao Weizhen laughed out loud as he thought about it.

Ying Zheng turned his head: "Madam, what are you laughing at?"

"It is said that a king seeks a virtuous minister, just like a man seeks a good wife. But in Meng Wei's view, it is not necessarily so." Zhao Weizhen said playfully: "If you don't talk about the world, you can talk about Xianyang. How many young girls want to marry the king? Harem No.1, it can be seen that this comparison is not accurate."

Ying Zheng: "..."

The eyebrows he had just frowned immediately parted, and Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Ma'am, don't make fun of me. It's Li Qing who just said that he was envoy to South Korea, but is there anything else to say?"

After hearing Han Fei's attitude, he completely gave up.

Li Si went on to say: "Detaining King Han can also support a weaker son to ascend the throne, which completely cuts off Han Han's desire to stand up. During this period, the king can help Yan attack Zhao and Zhao attack Wei, making the two countries overwhelmed. Mutual consumption. After Qin destroys South Korea, it will not be too late to turn to destroy Zhao."

A few words paved the way for the future of Qin: let the surrounding countries fight first, and then continue to fight while they are unprepared after destroying Korea.

This is in line with Li Si's consistent policy.

Until this time, Lu Buwei, who had not expressed his opinion positively, said quietly: "Li Qing is very anxious."

Ying Zheng stopped and looked at Lu Buwei.

"Father Zhong wants to take his time?" He disagreed, "But the Six Kingdoms will not wait for Qin."

"But the canal that the king sent Zheng Guo to major in is fine." Lu Buwei said softly: "The canal in Guanzhong has been under construction for two years. Planning between the construction of the canal and waiting until the completion of the canal will not bother the people and increase the war. Li, isn't it good?"

Ying Zheng didn't speak immediately.

He withdrew his gaze from Lu Buwei's.

After a while, the monarch nodded, without any emotion, he said: "What Li Qing said is for the future, and the completion of the canal repair is also for the future. They are both planning. I think that we can follow Li Qing's way."

Ying Zheng pushed back Lu Buwei's judgment without being soft or hard, and he was also favoring Li Si.

Lu Buwei was not surprised at all.

Qin Xiangguo did not insist, but said kindly: "What the king said is true."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

She looked at Lu Buwei calmly.

Sensing Zhao Weizhen's gaze, the latter turned his head slightly, facing her with a pair of bright eyes, and gave her a candid smile.

It is rare to see such a smile on Lu Buwei's face.

"But Buwei still wants to give it a try" - on this point, Lu Buwei insisted.

Although this is in Zhao Weizhen's arms: she cannot advance and retreat with Lu Buwei in terms of political views.But this also means that Lu Buwei must disagree with Qin Wangzheng.

However, the current situation is still a little better than in history.

At least two of them are right.

Zhao Weizhen believes that Qin Wangzheng is also very clear in his heart: if he wants to destroy the six kingdoms, he must be decisive;

This is also the reason why he didn't completely turn against Lu Buwei.

Yingzheng doesn't care if his ministers disagree with him, as long as they don't have the audacity to try to hinder his progress.

"It's not entirely unreasonable for the young master to write a letter."

Zhao Weizhen interjected at the right time, breaking the topic between Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng: "Qin can indeed use this to repair things with Chu."

"what."

Lu Buwei was stunned, and then smiled in surprise.

He was originally gentle and humble, and when he laughed like this, he swept away the solemn and tense atmosphere in the side hall.Lu Buwei said proudly and slyly: "Your Majesty is sixteen this year, it's time to bring Princess Chu to Qin."
