Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

The next day, Lu Buwei reported the recent progress of the war to Ah Zheng. Meng Ao had captured the thirteen cities of South Korea, and South Korea was about to fall.

Qin's war in South Korea is about to end, Lu Buwei suggested to Ah Zheng that the next step is to attack Zhao.Lu Buwei suggested that Qin State attack Zhao State first, because of his own selfishness.Lu Buwei was granted the title of Marquis of Wenxin, and his fief was in the Luoyang area. If Qin State attacked Zhao State next, he would be able to wait for an opportunity to expand the scope of his fiefdom.

So he suggested to Ah Zheng: "Your Majesty, now South Korea has won more than half of it. South Korea and Zhao State are the closest to Qin State. We have to prepare a plan to attack Zhao State in advance. After the Changping War, Zhao State's national power has declined greatly. Now, taking advantage of this opportunity to attack him is the best time to take him down."

Ah Zheng nodded: "Since that's the case, what idea did Marquis Wen Xin come up with to make Qin's soldiers take down Zhao without bloodshed?"

Lu Buwei laughed and said: "I have no way to take down Zhao's city without bloodshed, but today I want to recommend someone to the king to send an envoy to Zhao to attack Zhao."

Ah Zheng became a little interested and asked, "Who is it?"

Lu Buwei said: "This person is already waiting outside the palace of King Qin, please ask the king to summon him."

Ah Zheng ordered the people from Zhangtai Palace to bring him in.

Ah Zheng was surprised by the figure and appearance of the visitor, he was actually just a child who looked underage.

Ah Zheng didn't think that Lu Buwei was fooling him, but he was surprised and asked the child, "Who are you? What's your name?"

The visitor knelt on the ground and saluted: "My servant, Gan Luo, pay homage to the king."

Ah Zheng looked at the slightly familiar face of the child in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "Have I met you before?"

Gan Luo bowed his head and replied: "When I was young, I was played by a dude in the market. I am grateful to the king and General Meng for saving me. I have nothing to repay, and I am deeply ashamed. Repay your kindness."

Ah Zheng remembered that he did save the child once and sent him to Meng Tian's home for treatment, but Gan Luo was only a 12-year-old child after all. Could it be that the Qin State wanted to send a child to Zhao State?

Ah Zheng looked at Lu Buwei: "This is the candidate Wen Xinhou recommended to me?"

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Although this son is young, he is born intelligent, ingenious, and good at eloquence. If your Majesty sends him as an envoy to the Zhao Kingdom, he will definitely win the battle."

Ah Zheng looked at Gan Luo: "I remember you are Gan Mao's grandson?"

Gan Luo replied: "Back to the king, the father of the subject is indeed named after this."

Ah Zheng sneered and said: "I still remember that Gan Mao was a traitor to Qin. He first took refuge in Qi State, then went to Chu State as an envoy, and finally died in Wei State. Let me ask you, are you from Qi State, Chu State or Wei State?" Countryman?"

Gan Luo replied: "The Gan family was originally a powerful Cai State. Later, the Cai State died in the Chu State. After King Cai moved his capital, he became Xia Cai, and the country was almost destroyed. In order to revitalize the Gan family's lintel, the eldest father came to Qin State to serve King Qin Huiwen Ping Hanzhong. Later, he was framed by traitors and had no choice but to defect to Qi State. My father was indeed at fault, but didn’t the King Qin and the treacherous ministers in the court have any problems at that time?”

Gan Luo looked directly at Ah Zheng: "The king asked me which country I am from? I was born in Qin State, grew up in Qin State, learned from Qin State, and loyal to Qin State. Naturally, I am from Qin State."

Ah Zheng looked at him: "In this case, if I really send you as an envoy to Zhao, what will you do?"

Gan Luo smiled confidently: "I would like to be with General Meng Ao."

"It's such a bold tone. General Meng Ao took down the Thirteenth City of Korea. Could it be that you can also take down the Thirteenth City of Zhao?" Ah Zheng has not heard anyone dare to stand in front of him for a long time since he became the King of Qin. Having uttered wild words like this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, if you can really take down Zhao's city like General Meng Ao took South Korea, I will make you a high minister."

Gan Luo: "Then please wait and see, Your Majesty."

After Gan Luo was taken away by the palace servants, Lu Buwei couldn't help asking Ah Zheng: "If Gan Luo's words can really come true, does the king really want to make him a minister?"

Azheng replied: "With such great achievements in conquering cities and territories, since General Meng can be named Shangqing, why can't Ganluo be named?"

Lu Buwei said: "It is really a blessing for the Qin State that the king employs people regardless of trivial matters."

After Lu Buwei left, Lin Ju, who was watching the whole conversation, couldn't help complaining to Ah Zheng: "Isn't Gan Luo recommended by Lu Buwei to you? Why do you say that you are good at employing people? It feels like he is secretly Praise yourself."

Ah Zheng couldn't help laughing, and responded to her: "Yes, Ah Ju, what you said is right."

Lin Ju: "However, that kid just now is really cute, he looks like you when you were young, Zai Zai."

Hearing Lin Ju praise others for their cuteness, the smile on Ah Zheng's face slowly subsided: "How is he cute? He doesn't look like me at all."

"That kid really looks like Zai Zai." Lin Ju said, "Just like Zai Zai, he always pretends to be indifferent, but in fact he is a very soft and cute child."

"Oh." Ah Zheng's ear tips slowly turned red.

After a while, he retorted slowly: "I'm 17 years old, and I'm an adult according to the laws of Qin. Ah Ju, I'm no longer a child."

"Zai Zai, your 17th birthday has not yet passed. And with us, you are considered an adult. Besides—" Lin Ju laughed, "Zai Zai, you will always be a child in Grandma's heart."

But Lin Ju looked at it seriously for a while, Zai Zai's excellent and handsome face, children grow up so fast, unexpectedly they grow up so big all at once.

She glanced at the task progress bar below. The progress of the task to ascend to the position of King Qin is currently 87%. It seems that this task is really related to Zai Zai's complete power. As Zai Zai gradually gains power, the progress bar is also slowly rising .

She couldn't help asking: "Zai Zai, when will you become the real King Qin?"

Azheng said: "Zhou etiquette stipulates that men marry when they are thirty, and women who marry when they are twenty."

"Cough, cough, cough," Lin Ju coughed, "No way, could it be that Lu Buwei and your mother will not let you be the real King of Qin until you are 30 years old?"

Ah Zheng sneered and said, "Who knows? But the Zhou Dynasty has long since perished. Is there any country in this world that follows the Zhou rituals? These words are nothing but fooling people."

Lin Ju said: "Lu Buwei's power in the court is getting bigger and bigger, and the officials in the court will definitely oppose him. Zaizai, you are the king of Qin, and your position is more in line with the interests of the officials in the court. They will definitely help you For example, the people of the Qin clan, they definitely hope that the children of the Qin family will inherit the throne. Zai Zai, you must make good use of the resources in your hand and work hard to officially become the real King of Qin as soon as possible."

Ah Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, Ah Ju will work hard with me."

But in the next day's court meeting, not only did Ah Zheng not get the support of Qin's clan, but he got a lot of doubts.

Ah Zheng looked at the eloquent young master Xi who was standing below, and suspected that his ears had heard it wrong. He couldn't help asking again: "What did you say?"

Young Master Xi sneered and said, "I said you, the King of Qin, are nothing more than the bastard of the Queen Mother and Lu Buwei. How can a son of a lowly merchant ascend to the throne of King Qin? You are not worthy to be the King of Qin."

Ah Zheng was enraged, he looked at the courtier in front of him coldly: "Who else thinks so, stand up."

The team of the Qin clan's clan shook a few times, and a few people stood out unsteadily.

The more angry Ah Zheng became, the more the smile on his face grew: "You also think that I am not worthy to be the King of Qin?"

One of them walked out of the team and said, "No, we feel that your identity is doubtful. Orphans and widows have been living in Zhao State for many years. Who knows if you, the King of Qin, are the descendants of the previous kings?"

Ah Zheng stepped down from his seat and slowly walked in front of him step by step.

With every step forward, the man's heart trembled.

Ah Zheng smiled and said, "I didn't hear clearly just now, please say it again."

The man had no choice but to stammer and repeat the words just now.

Ah Zheng pulled out his saber and pierced it into the man's heart.

Blood spurted out and splashed on Ah Zheng's face.

He looked at the clan standing next to him again, and asked, "Please state your point of view again."

The man was taken aback by the scene just now, and didn't react for a while, so he could only follow Ah Zheng's intention and say: "My lord... Your Majesty, I just feel that your background is still in doubt..."

Ah Zheng wiped his neck with his sword.

He looked at the other person again: "What about you?"

The man spoke harshly, with panic on his face: "You can't kill me, you can't kill me, I am the clan of the Qin State..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Ah Zheng, with the bronze sword pierced into his chest.

He casually wiped off the hot blood on his face with his sleeve, looked around at the courtiers, and finally looked at Young Master Xi: "This sword is the saber given to me by my father back then, and it was originally used by King Qin Zhaoxiang. Eighth When I returned to the state of Qin when I was young, my eldest father was still alive at that time. He did not deny my identity, and even gave me a sword to my ancestor. After my father came to the throne, he made me the crown prince, and he also recognized my identity. Your son, Xi, The son of a lowly slave dares to doubt my identity, what are you?"

The young master said: "As the king of Qin, you wantonly kill Zhongliang and don't obey the laws of Qin, so you are not worthy to be king."

"Qin Fa? What is Qin Fa? I am Qin Fa!" He commanded, "Come here, young master Xi disrespected the way of kings today, committed treasonous acts, his car was torn apart, and his body was thrown in the market!"

Although young master Xi struggled desperately, he still couldn't get rid of the control of the imperial army, and was finally dragged down to the palace.

Ah Zheng looked at the people in the court, and slowly wiped the long sword in his hand with a towel: "My dear friends, do you have any other opinions?"

Hearing Lu Buwei knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times: "Your Majesty is heroic—" The other silent courtiers hurriedly followed and kowtowed.

Ah Zheng asked: "Is there any other important matter to report? If there is nothing else, then retreat to the court."

When everyone left Zhangtai Palace one after another, Ah Zheng slowly looked at the sword in his hand. The blood on the sword hadn't been wiped clean yet, and it was still warm.

This is the third time he has killed someone, the first time was when he first entered the border town of Qin State, he counter-killed the assassin who assassinated him.The second time was to kill the assassin in Shanglinyuan.The first two killings were all in self-defense, which was an act of justice.

But this time he killed someone with his own hands, for his own benefit.

If Ah Ju knew about this, he would probably hate him.After all, Ah Ju liked the soft-hearted child back then, even though he had never felt that his heart was soft.

He wiped off the blood on the saber, put it on again, and strengthened his heart.

muah.

The word "chen" was originally the same as "slave", meaning a slave. In a sense, it can be said to be a modest term.
