At this time, Kong Wen, who was sent to South Korea, got up and said: "Your Majesty, Han Fei is too arrogant and rude, and he has a lot of difficulties with his ministers along the way. But the minister was ordered by the king to send an envoy to South Korea to invite Han Fei to enter Qin, and he did not dare to slack off, and followed his wishes, but he looked at the minister coldly, and did the opposite, delaying for a month to Xianyang, which was extremely rude. ”

Ying Zheng's face turned cold and said, "Does the Ministry of Rites have anything to say?"

Jing Jian came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister went to Hangu Pass to greet Han Fei, Han Fei was extremely indifferent to the minister, and did not say a word. ”

Shang Ying got up and said: "Your Majesty, the king used a state banquet to entertain Han Fei, and all my colleagues wore official uniforms to the banquet to show their respect. ”

Ying Zheng's face was cold, and he drank all the bottles of wine on the dining table in front of him, and said, "Which minister still has something to say?"

Li Si got up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and Han Fei are classmates, and their talents are rare in the world, and the ministers can't compare to themselves." The minister has been friends with him for many years, thinking that Han Fei is not such a person who does not know etiquette, and asks the king to calm his anger. ”

Zheng Guo built a canal for the Qin State, named Zheng Guo Canal, and made great contributions to Qin, Yingzheng sent people to connect his family to the Qin State, and was awarded the construction division according to his merits, and Chen Qi was also demoted in the original construction division.

This is the embodiment of the implementation of the merit system, those who have merit and ability go up, and those who have ability and no merit go down.

So Zheng Guo is qualified to participate in tonight's state banquet, he is still Korean, and he still knows something about Han Fei, so he got up and said: "King Qiqi: The minister was born in South Korea, and the king does not treat the minister with the distinction between states and countries, so that the minister is in a high position." Great Qin has always used talents to distinguish between countries and states, and talents from all countries have also unified the world and stopped fighting with war. 'For one's own duty. Therefore, as an official in Qin, not for personal gain, and do his best for Qin. But Han Fei is not this person, he attaches too much importance to the difference between countries and countries, and he only has South Korea in his heart, so he may not be able to seek for Qin, so he asked the king to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Ying Zheng replied: "What Zheng Gong said, Lone has already written it down. ”

At this time, he went to the post station to invite Han Fei's Libu Lang Zhongzi Che into the hall, and came to the center of the main hall and saluted: "Your Majesty the Emperor: The minister went to the post station to invite Han Fei to the palace for a banquet, and learned that he went to Xunfu to meet the palace master of the Tiandao Palace. The minister waited for half an hour, but he didn't see his return, so he only went to Xunfu to invite him into the palace, but he learned that he had already left Xunfu, and the minister rushed to the post station, Han Fei was still not at the post station, and the minister could only go back to the palace to restore his life and ask the king to atone for his sins. ”

Ying Zheng's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, sit down." ”

Ziche saluted and said: "Xie Wang Shangmingcha." ”

"Good Han Fei, my Qin State treats me so politely, and insults my Qin State so much, if you don't punish him, where will the prestige of my Qin State be?" Wei Ran said dissatisfied.

"It's extreme, I don't take my Qin State in my eyes too much, and I'm extremely arrogant. ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, he felt even more uncomfortable, and said: "Okay, it is rude to invite Han Fei into Qin this time." Han Fei is loyal to Han, this is human nature. However, Qin Chong and talented people are treated with courtesy, so the world's famous people are willing to go to Qin. If the lonely man is not a sin of contempt, the world's celebrities will say that the lone is a person with a small amount of energy, and how can the world's celebrities dare to enter Qin. This feast is over for the time being, and I will invite you again tomorrow. ”

"My king's heart cherishes talents, the most in the world, and the ministers can't wait. The ministers stood up and said.

On the evening of the second day, in the side hall of the previous night, all the ministers of the DPRK and China attended and gathered together. Han Fei and Ying Zheng sat opposite each other, and they were the distinguished seats of state guests.

After a salute, Ying Zheng said: "Mr.'s "Han Feizi", the government has benefited a lot, and now I invite Mr. to enter Qin, and I also ask Mr. to teach a lot, and the government is grateful!"

Han Fei replied: "Why does the King of Qin have to come to give teaching, the works of Fei: the fusion of art, law, and potential, the law of Qin, there is a Shang king, who can compare with it; potential, the King of Qin, powerful, who is not afraid of the six countries in the world, as soon as the book of the Qin Kingdom is sent, Korea does not also act according to the king's will; as for the arts, people all over the world say that I Korea is an expert in art and governance, and I can compare with the King of Qin, which is not enough. ”

Ying Zheng's face turned black when he heard this, and the courtiers were even more angry.

Han Fei was too presumptuous, he was so sarcastic about the wine and food, Fan Ju asked with anger on his face, "What do you mean by this, sir?"

Han Fei sneered: "What do you mean? King Qin pretended to travel the world, but in fact he was fishing with a line to eradicate dissidents. He did not hesitate to take his half-brother Cheng Jiao as bait, how thin and cold this kind of heart is, and the viciousness of power and scheming is rare in the world. He is the king, the Qin State is unfortunate, and the world is in trouble. ”

"Presumptuous?"

"Han Fei, are you too blind?"

"You have slandered my king so much in the presence of my king, and your sin is unforgivable!"

The courtiers were furious, Han Fei was talking too viciously, he was simply stabbing Ying Zheng in the wound with a knife?

Zhuge Liang, Shang Ying and the others were also frosty and pale, they had never seen such an arrogant person.

Ying Zheng's face was as usual, as if Han Fei was not talking about him, but the bronze wine glass in his hand had been pinched and deformed by him, indicating that his heart was not at peace.

Drained the wine in the bottle in one gulp, put down the wine bottle, and said lightly: "It seems that Mr. is very concerned about the means of inviting Mr. Gu into Qin, since this is the case, today's banquet will be stopped." ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and left, and the minister of the DPRK and Central China also got up, looked at Han Fei coldly, and threw his sleeves away.

Li Si glanced at Han Fei, sighed lightly, turned around and left, he went to visit Han Fei today, Han Fei ignored him, and had no choice but to return to his mansion, he hadn't seen him for a few years, he didn't expect that Han Fei would become so strange.

Three days later, Han Fei wrote "Strong Qin Ce", and Ying Zheng read it without commenting. Zhuge Liang, Shang Ying, Wei Ran, Tian Dan, Bai Qi, Zhu Liji and others were summoned to Xianyang Palace, and several people looked complicated after reading it.

Shang Ying just said:

"This person harbors evil intentions!"

Ying Zheng asked lightly, "What does the Lord of Zhuge Mansion think?"

It turned out that Han Fei's "Policy for Strengthening the Country" said: If Qin goes east, he should first attack the three kingdoms of Zhao, Chu and Wei, Chu has a wide territory and rich resources, if he first captures Chu State, he will definitely consolidate Qin State, and lay the foundation for the destruction of the other five countries.

Zhuge Liang heard Yingzheng's questioning and said: "Han Fei's move is to save Han, but the minister knows very little about the Chu State and does not dare to draw conclusions. General Bai Qi attacked the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Chu, all of which were great victories, and he should have some understanding of the Three Kingdoms. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes turned to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi said: "Zhao Zhao and my Qin State are old enemies: if you attack Zhao, the people of Zhao will resist desperately, and various factors must be added. As for the state of Chu: it is vast and far away, the mountains and rivers are deep and ravines, and if the army is deep, it is easy to encounter ambushes. In the opinion of the minister, if you want to destroy Chu, you must first destroy Wei Han, and then go south to destroy Chu. Attack Wei: Wei can be said to be located in the center of the six countries, our army will attack Wei, and the other five countries can be united soon, and when our army is far away from Guanzhong, grain and grass will be a big problem. ”

At this time, Wei Ran said: "Han Fei just wants my Qin State to fall into a quagmire, and there is no force to attack South Korea, this plan is for Han Fei to plan for Qin, and his heart can be punished." ”

At this time, Guan Zhong sighed and said: "This person is still too prejudiced against the state, my seven countries in the Central Plains are all Chinese clans, not foreign countries, and we should take 'unifying the world and ending the troubled times' as our own responsibility." But he only has South Korea in his heart, there is no world, he can't integrate into the Qin State, and he can't work for Qin. ”

Shang Ying attaches the most importance to the law, Han Fei had a lot of presumptuous things before, and it was just rudeness, whether he was punished or not, it all depends on the attitude of Yingzheng, but now in the book "Strong Country Policy", it is obviously a harbor of evil intentions, if you don't punish crimes, how to correct the world.

He said: "Your Majesty, Han Fei's move is already an intention to bring disaster to my Great Qin Sheji, and the crime is unforgivable, and the minister asks the king to order Han Fei to be killed to correct the law." ”

The ministers seconded. ”

The ministers seconded.

Ying Zheng saw that Guan Zhong, Wei Ran, Zhang Yi and others all agreed, and sighed in his heart, the will of heaven is the will of heaven.

ordered: "South Korea's Han Fei intends to mess with Qin, his heart can be punished, but his words can be redeemed, and he will be imprisoned in Yunyang National Prison and decided in the future." ”

"No"

The old lieutenant came out of the ranks.

The ministers left, only Zhuge Liang and Ying Zheng were two, Ying Zheng said: "Mr. sees?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "Since it took him a month to enter Qin, it was still so abnormal, Liang had some suspicions, and he watched what he did in the past few days." Liang was sure that he was begging for death. ”

Ying Zheng sighed and said: "Lone ordered him to enter Qin, first, Qin will attack South Korea, and he doesn't want him to stay in South Korea and become a variable; If he doesn't go to the "National Country Policy", he can let him have no worries about food and clothing, but unexpectedly, he is bent on death. ”

Zhuge Liang also sighed: "It seems that he saw that Qin's heart to destroy the Six Kingdoms was extremely firm, and he had already predicted the fate of South Korea." germinated the heart of death, since life can't be for Han, then die for Han. ”

The old Tingwei left the palace, and when he returned to the Tingwei Mansion, he ordered Han Fei to be arrested in Yunyang Prison for the crime of disturbing the country. He never thought that the "National Power Policy" he presented would not be seen through, he just found another excuse for Qin to kill him.

On the third day of Han Fei's imprisonment in Yunyang Prison, Li Si came to visit, and in a clean cell, the two sat on the ground.

Li Si's face was complicated and said: "Why do you bother? You have also seen that the king's love for talents, the ability to use people, the rudeness of you, and the tolerance of several times. With your ability, if you are sincere, you will definitely be able to occupy a high position and display your ambitions, why did you end up like this. ”

Han Fei was extremely calm, and said with some admiration: "King Qin's mind is beyond the expectations of his junior brother. Guan Zhong, Tian Dan, Li Kui and others are already in important positions, and their employment is unsuspicious, and there is no one in the world who can compare, if they were born in the Qin State, how lucky they are to have such a monarch's loyalty. ”

Speaking of the back, there is a little yearning, it is not unreasonable for Qin to be strong, and its eclectic appointment of talents is not comparable to the six countries in the world.

He said helplessly: "It's not a Korean, it's still a Korean son, and he has the blood of the Korean royal family in his body, how can you turn your back on your own country and serve other countries." In this case, then Feisheng can't seek for Han, so let's bury Han. ”

"Alas"

Li Si let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "You, why are you so stubborn in the views of the state, the king doesn't care, can't you let go?"

Han Fei asked rhetorically: "If you are wrong, can you watch the Qin State destroy your own country and be indifferent?"

Li Si didn't answer, he hadn't thought about this question, or he really hadn't thought about it from Han Fei's situation.

Li Si left, with a heavy heart, leaving behind half a jar of fine wine, which was not poisonous, mortal promised.

Ten days later, the news of Han Fei's death circulated in Xianyang, and the court said that he died of hunger strike, and there were rumors on the rivers and lakes that Han Fei died at the hands of the Yin and Yang family.

When the news of Han Fei's death reached South Korea, King Han scolded Han Fei. Only Princess Red Lotus, heartbroken, Han Fei's brother who loved her died, and she washed her face with tears every day, and suddenly became extremely haggard.

And there was a woman who didn't leave a single tear and vowed to kill Ying Zheng to avenge Han Fei.

Han Fei's death touched his friend Wei Zhuang a lot, and he became even more indifferent and ruthless. Only by controlling power can he survive in this troubled world, which has become the criterion he believes in.
