Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 165 First Meeting

"Grassman Fan Zeng, pay homage to Great Qin Tianxia!"

Fan Zeng stepped into the Xingyuan with heavy steps, bent down and knelt down to worship.

Qin Wangzheng sat in the center of the shaft, reviewing the bamboo slips from Xianyang, his eyes swept over Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng didn't move at all, and Zhao Gao was also kneeling aside, waiting for Qin Wangzheng to deal with him.

After Qin Wangzheng slowly put down the bamboo slips, Fan Zeng's face did not change, he just lowered his head and looked down at the apricot board.

Qin Wangzheng stroked his beard, got up slowly, walked up to Fan Zeng, and took a lot of care.

When Fan Zeng saw me from the front of the door, it was like meeting a stranger. He was calm and calm, and he was no ordinary person.

With gray hair and a white beard, he must be a person who has experienced a lot of wind and mulberry.

Sure enough, the little childish slave did not misread the wrong person!
Zuo Prime Minister Li Si's eyes were fierce. Although he was silent on the surface, a thousand ways to kill had already flashed through his heart.

His Majesty will definitely not summon grassroots for no reason, let alone delay the army's itinerary for ordinary people. Although this person is old, he has extraordinary temperament.

If it is reused by His Majesty, I will definitely not show mercy.

Han Fei is already dead by my hands, I don't mind a second Han Fei appearing!
Meng Yi, the new doctor, also looked up and down Fan Zeng from the corner of his eye. Although he didn't see anything special, it would definitely not be too bad for His Majesty to recruit him.

Finally, Qin Wangzheng said slowly, "Mister is Fan Zeng?"

Fan Zeng shook his head again and again, and said modestly: "Your Majesty, the grassroots Fan Zeng can't afford the word sir!"

Qin Wangzheng was imposing, staring at Fan Zeng with cold eyes.

Since sitting on the throne, no one has dared to directly deny me, Fan Zeng, you are number one.

Li Si smiled contemptuously. He didn't expect Fan Zeng to say the wrong thing as soon as he opened his mouth, and he basically missed the high official salary.

Zhao Gao knelt down on the ground and smoothed things over for Fan Zeng: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand. What Fan Zeng means is that Your Majesty is magnificent and hard-working. He is an emperor through the ages. In front of Your Majesty, he is not qualified to be called a gentleman!"

Only then did Qin Wangzheng heave a sigh of relief, and glanced at Fan Zeng again with scrutiny, and asked, "You don't have to be polite, I call you sir, and you are sir!"

Seeing Qin Wangzheng ordering with absolute royal power, Fan Zeng could only nod in agreement.

Qin Wangzheng continued in a tentative tone: "Mr. Jiuwen's name, and today he is recruited by the king's order. Don't blame Mr. Wang!"

How dare Fan Zeng blame him? He was not killed, thanks to his ancestors.

After receiving Qin Wangzheng's acquiescence, Fan Zeng sat down with his dilapidated body, his words were full of sorrow, as if telling Qin Wangzheng that I was old and would no longer be useful.

Qin Wangzheng can also understand Fan Zeng's reminder, but right now Qin Wangzheng still has a serious problem in his heart, and the only person who can help Qin Wangzheng get rid of the cancer is Fan Zeng.

Qin Wangzheng ordered his servants to place the food on the large bronze case, and flicked his sleeves to signal Fan Zeng to eat.

Fan Zeng was neither surprised nor worried. He gently picked up his chopsticks and treated the people around him like air.

Li Si was suddenly furious, and said several times at once: "Fan Zeng, you are so courageous. Your Majesty bestowed upon you grace, but you accepted it with pleasure, and you can't even say thank you?"

After being reminded by Li Si, Fan Zeng bowed his hands to thank him, and then continued to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the meat, ignoring everyone's ears.

Zhao Gao also sweated for Fan Zeng, but Fan Zeng remained unmoved.

Li Si was even more embarrassed, as if he had been severely slapped in the face by Fan Zeng.

He has always been vindictive, not to mention that now he is in a high position, even Feng Quji is polite to him, he did not expect to be ridiculed by a class of grassroots.

Li Si stood up suddenly, murderous intent bursting out of his eyes, and said coldly: "Bold Fan Zeng, do you know the consequences of neglecting the emperor like this?"

Qin Wangzheng also glanced at Fan Zeng, waiting for his reply.

After Fan Zeng swallowed the meat in his mouth, he put down his chopsticks and said in a straight voice, "Since it is grace, how can the grassroots accept the grace? What's more, the grassroots have already thanked His Majesty, so why is Prime Minister Li making things difficult?"

"Prime Minister Zuo scolded the grassroots people in the hall, and even slandered the grassroots people for ignoring the emperor. Who lost his temper?"

"Your Majesty embraces the universe, embraces the whole world, and has a mind that accommodates all rivers like the sea. How can you care about the gaffes of a class of grassroots?"

Li Si gritted his teeth, and the veins on his arms were bulging. He was about to argue, but was stopped by Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng said slowly: "Sir, you are new here and don't know much about the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty. Naturally, I won't blame you!"

"But ignorance is not an excuse for me to tolerate you, and I hope you will respect yourself!"

Li Si finally breathed a sigh of relief, Fan Zeng could only nod helplessly.

Immediately, the hall quickly fell silent. Li Si and Fan Zeng stared at each other. Although they were smiling on the outside, they wanted to rush forward and chop each other off.

A seed of hatred was planted in the hearts of the two. Even if Fan Zeng became an official in the court in the future, the two would go their separate ways, and even use conspiracy and conspiracy to compete.

The first meeting between Qin Wangzheng and Fan Zeng ended at an awkward banquet.

Qin Wangzheng also knew well that Fan Zeng, as a minister of Chu State, was naturally unwilling to submit to Qin State.

But Qin Wangzheng hopes to impress Fan Zeng through his sincerity, let Fan Zeng accept Qin Wangzheng, and work for Qin Wangzheng silently.

At the same time, the assassins of Heibingtai also rushed back to the camp and informed Zhang Liang that his whereabouts were unknown and that he had completely disappeared from this world.

There was anger rising between Qin Wangzheng's eyebrows, and his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Could it be that the people of Daqin arrested a Korean nobleman?"

"Could it be that he can escape to the ends of the earth? Could it be that he can become invisible or hide deep in the mountains?"

Finally, Qin Wangzheng still issued a death order: "All those who have intersected with Zhang Liang will be arrested, all of them will be escorted to Zhangtai Palace, and Zhang Liang will be captured or executed at all costs!"

At all costs, Qin Wangzheng increased his tone.

The assassins on the Black Ice Terrace had never seen Qin Wangzheng so angry, his legs went limp from fright, and he promised in a trembling voice.

The next day, Heibingtai and CRRC soldiers set off together to the old place in South Korea, arrested everyone related to Zhang Liang, and escorted them all to Yunzhong Prison to interrogate their relationship with Zhang Liang.

If they don't give Zhang Liang's message, the only thing waiting for them is death!
At the same time, Qin Wangzheng's parade army continued to move forward, returning to Zhangtai Palace along the way.

Fan Zeng also received the edict from King Qin and returned with the army. Even if he had complaints in his heart, he could only endure it silently.

And Fan Zeng was also appointed as a guest minister, and participated in the government affairs with the scholar-officials, but the officials in the court learned that he despised Li Si and alienated him one after another.

Fan Zeng deeply believed in Huang Lao's art, ignored everyone, and followed Qin Wangzheng into the palace with the attitude of "others ignore me, but I am also pure".
