Chapter 31 The stars are falling like rain

Although this year is the first year of Qin Zheng's crowning and pro-government, it was quite unsmooth when he encountered the Chang Yu rebellion at the beginning. Qin Zheng was eager to make some merits, so as to comfort his ancestors at the suburban festival in the coming year.

At this time, he had two silk books in his hand, one from the King of Wei and signed by Long Yangjun, and the other from Nanyang, South Korea. Nanyang Fake Shouteng was also a famous person for him, and the Qin State did not make good progress in his strategy, so he had to attack Jiandong County in the territory of Wei in the weak place in the north of Korea.

Thinking of Han Fei recommended by Lu Pheasant before, since he is the same Xunzi as Li Si, it is not bad to send Li Si to South Korea to intimidate the new Han King. It's just that who should Wei send to go? Once when Xinling Jun was alive, the Qin State did not dare to attack the Wei State, and when he died, the Wei State lost its land one after another, and there was no hindrance.

It's not that he didn't think about sending Lu Pheasant to go again, but now Lu Pheasant, who is more than three years old, seems to have no one in the country as a chief envoy. Although Gan Luo was twelve years old when he sent Zhao Guo to the world, Lu Pheasant was indeed different to him. Although the two countries are now at war, they are not without exception. After all, it was not without precedent for the Qin State to repeatedly detain envoys from other countries, and it was not without precedent for King Chu Huai to die in the Qin realm. If that little man is cut down, isn't it because of a small loss?

Lu Gong was stargazing in the courtyard this night, it was night, and the stars fell like rain between the two nights of the southeast ghost corner. He was shocked, could it be that there was a great sage who died, and there is only one person in the world who can be called a great sage.

Li Si heard the news from his subordinates at home that there were stars falling in the southwest sky, and thought that his master said that he wanted to enter Chu before he left, so he hurriedly ran to the courtyard barefoot, looking at the southwest starry sky and couldn't help but kneel and cry bitterly, he no longer had a chance to follow Xun Shi. Also sad as Li Si was Han Fei of Xinzheng, and he was also sad when he thought of Master Xun's teachings.

Xunzi has been living in Lanling for the last period of his life, originally Chun Shenjun appointed him as the Lanling Order, and Li Yuan deposed him after killing Chun Shenjun. He loved the scenery of Lanling and has lived there until today.

The death of Xunzi in the distance did not have any impact on the people in Xianyang City, but only added some talking points to those dignitaries, and did not seem to cause any splash. Although later generations of Confucianism regarded Xunzi as a heretic, his theory of sexual evil has always been the favorite of emperors and generals.

On this day, Lu Pheasant was summoned to the palace again, and she happened to be curious about whether Qin Zheng could agree to Han Wei's conditions. Entering the hall, Qin Zhengzheng frowned and looked at the silk book in her hand, and she was just about to bow when she was dismissed. Qin Zheng had already noticed her when he saw her coming straight in from outside the hall, he glanced at Lu Pheasant and said with a smile: "Why don't you be exempted from saluting until you are in time?" ”

Lu Pheasant saw that Qin Zheng was going to do this, but he still shook his head and refused: "Presumably, it won't be long before the king will appoint me as an official, won't he still have to salute at that time?" ”

Qin Zheng looked at the confident Lu Pheasant and poured cold water on her: "King Wei actually wants to save thousands of miles of land for his feudal country, I'm afraid it's not a dream." Where is your credit? ”

When Lu Pheasant heard King Wei's request, she thought about it for a while and probably understood whose idea it was, and she explained with a smile: "The king doesn't know how to do business? ”

"I don't know." Qin Zheng was already very accustomed to Lu Pheasant's lectures from time to time, and her voice was steady as if she was asking if you had eaten again. The most excessive thing is that she knew that she didn't know and had to ask herself again, so he had to cooperate in order to hear the reason.

"Merchants buy and sell not only to set prices, often merchants pay high prices, buyers suppress their prices for various reasons, and finally trade at a suitable price. As far as the King of Wei is concerned, his reserve price is already known to me, I wonder if the king is willing to hear it? Lu Pheasant said to Qin Zheng with a somewhat treacherous smile.

"Let's hear it."

"The king of Wei is mediocre, and it is his pursuit to have a place where he can protect the temple and make his ancestors obtain blood sacrifices. Since the king of Wei proposed to help Qin destroy Han, it is better to make an agreement with him. Every time the Wei army takes a city, it will increase the number of Wei kings, and it will not hurt if there are not many Korean cities.

When Korea is destroyed, the king of Wei can be sealed in the land of Han, or he can be sealed in the land of Qin, depending on how the king chooses. It's just that the Han people thought that half of their destruction of the country was caused by the Wei State, and they didn't know if they would retaliate against the King of Wei. ”

Qin Zheng heard the contempt for King Wei from her bland words, and couldn't help but smile and ask: "Didn't I hear that you and Long Yangjun had a very good relationship, and the widow thought that you would definitely intercede for King Wei." ”

"Since the unification of the world is the general trend, I naturally follow the trend. Whether the King of Wei exists or not is for Wei whether he can appease the hearts of the Wei people. The king shouldn't know about King Chu Huai's old affairs, right? As for Long Yangjun, he is really handsome and extraordinary, and besides, he also taught me swordsmanship, so the natural relationship is extraordinary. Lu Pheasant thought about Long Yangjun's demeanor, and the last few words were almost whispering.

"Nanyang's conditions should be settled, and when the time comes, send Li Si as an envoy, and you should be able to bring Han Fei back. The widows of the Wei State have not thought of a suitable person to send an envoy, in your opinion, who is the most suitable? Qin Zheng looked at the person who was about to indulge in the memories in front of him, and he really wanted to knock a violent shudder on her head, and there was a little impatience in his voice.

"Didn't the king calculate against me here, and the king wanted me to send an envoy to Wei?" Lu Pheasant turned his senses, looked at Qin Zheng, who had a gloomy face in front of him, and asked.

"The widow doesn't want you to be a mission, but you're the right person. How about sending your father and brother otherwise? Qin Zheng thought that it was impossible for Lu Gong not to have seen Long Yang, and it would be good if he was allowed to send an envoy, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"My father and brother love Huang Lao very much, and this trip is none other than me, so I ask the king to wait for my good news." She thought about it for a while, stared into Qin Zheng's eyes and took this errand.

When Lu Pheasant went home and told the news that he was going east to Yu Wei, Lezi objected, and Lu Gong did not agree very much. Lu Pheasant looked at Le Zi holding a needle and thread but didn't move for a long time, and sighed and explained to her: "Mother, I am willing to achieve the good deeds of women, and besides, the King of Qin will send elite soldiers to accompany him, so Mother really doesn't have to worry." ”

Lezi looked at his daughter, who had grown up with tears in his eyes, and cried: "Pheasant has not heard me finish talking about the ending of the woman's happiness. She suffered serious injuries due to the long-term battlefield and died in childbirth. Don't you want me to see you collapse in the prime of life? ”

Lu Pheasant thought about Lezi's fear and had to be appeased: "Auntie doesn't need to worry, I am also going to see Long Yangjun this time." Long Yangjun has always been very good to me, and he also taught me swordsmanship. What danger would there be in seeing him? Hasn't Mother also seen Long Yangjun and his person? ”

"Really go to see Long Yangjun?" Lezi looked at Lu Pheasant suspiciously.

Lu Pheasant had no choice but to stare at Le Zi with his big eyes and said, "Besides, I have been practicing the Yue Nu Sword a bit of a bottleneck recently, and I am trying to ask Long Yangjun for advice, how can it be dangerous to visit with the envoy this time?" ”

Le Zi was finally persuaded by Lu Pheasant, nodded and agreed, and began to prepare some clothes for her to change clothes on the way. Lu Pheasant came out of the door of his mother's room and saw Lu Gong standing outside the door waiting for her, and the two tacitly walked to the side of the courtyard before talking in a low voice.

"You've already made your decision?"

"Yes, Father. Mother and father took good care of it. ”

"Actually, it's better to let Ze'er go with you, I can rest assured."

"Big brother needs to study at home now, and he is going to study in China, how can he go to Wei with me." After all, Lu Pheasant did not agree to let her eldest brother accompany her on a visit, even if she could be in a high position one day, it would be indispensable for her clan. This time in the establishment of national studies, the Lu family must not be left behind.

When the King of Qin informed Li Si of his plan, Li Si was very resistant, but he agreed to the order to send an envoy to Korea with an honorable face. Han Fei, when he was studying under Xunzi, he was deeply loved by Xunzi. He tried his best but was considered too utilitarian by Xunzi, but what could he do if he didn't sell the emperor's martial arts? He has never been a person who is willing to be left behind, nor is he a person who loves landscapes.

It is his ambition to step on one opponent after another in the court and stand above ten thousand people under one person. Han Fei hadn't seen him for a long time, and he didn't know what it had become, so it was good to take a look, he thought to himself.

As soon as Li Si and his servants left the palace, they were stopped by the attendant Lang Wei, who asked with some dissatisfaction, but got news that there was another envoy who was going to follow him out.

He waited for a moment, and then he found that there were more than a dozen carriages in the distance, more than the three or five he had here. When the carriage approached and stopped, I saw a well-dressed maid come out of the carriage first, and she carried a girl down. Could this be the person who moved the King of Qin to welcome his mother?

Lu Pheasant saw that the figure in front of him was slender and wearing a black robe, with some red patterns outlined on it. The horse has long eyebrows on his face, his eyes appear long and cold, and his thin lips and chin have a beard.

Before he could come forward to ask, the pretty girl praised: "This is Li Changshi, who wrote the "Book of Exhortations", right? It's been a long time. ”

It's still a compliment to say that others say this, but looking at the girl's clear eyes, I realized that she really thinks her article is good. Li Si was very satisfied in his heart, and he also praised the other party: "It turned out to be the Lu family's phoenix who gave advice to King Qin, and this is the first time I have seen it." The king has praised you many times for your wisdom, and it is exactly as the king said. ”

The two talked for a while, and Li Si saw that the time was not early, so he proposed to go. Lu Pheasant naturally had nothing to do with him. She had already said goodbye to her family before going out, so she only had to follow Li Si to the east.

Li Si originally thought that he was the only envoy to the east, but he didn't expect the king to send another girl, although he admitted that she could persuade the king of Qin to do something that many people did not do. But how can it be a little clever to talk to the king and fight for the king's interests?

He always thought that the core of the Lu family was Father Lu, after all, he had never dealt with Lu Pheasant. Lu Pheasant only showed his mature and sharp views in front of a few people. Li Si's contempt did not hinder her. After all, he was just intimidating King Han to summon Han Fei into Qin, and contacted Ye Teng about the specific matters of descending to Qin. As long as Ye Teng can bring Nanyang back to Qin, South Korea's contribution will not be less than Lu Pheasant's.

Thinking of the hard work of Li Si at that time, but found that she was working hard for her own plan, she couldn't help laughing in the car. That scene must be very good-looking, how will the rumored traitor Li Si behave at that time? I'm afraid that I don't want to hate myself to death, but I also have to praise myself with a smile on my face.

But this is also inevitable, those who can achieve great things in ancient times are all stoic. It doesn't matter if that person wants to do good or evil.
