Early the next morning.

Zhao Hai stood in his Chengming Palace, waiting for Han Ying to bring someone over.

People are naturally Zhang Conghu of Jiangzuo.

Unexpectedly, after Han Ying pushed the door in, he was alone, and Han Ying said with regret and apology on his face: "Your Majesty, that Zhang Conghu said that he was seriously ill and could no longer go to Xianyang City, so he asked His Majesty for his guilt." ”

Zhao Hai put down the note in his hand, and he could be regarded as predicting this result in advance.

"Han Ying, if I expected it to be true, this person should have found a reason casually and prevaricated me."

When Han Ying heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, the person who has a brocade guard said that he saw this Zhang Conghu with his own eyes, lying on the hospital bed, skinny, and really couldn't get out of bed and walk around." ”

"From this point of view, I'm afraid he really has some serious illness."

"Of course, it can't be ruled out that this person may have used some kind of stand-in specifically to coax His Majesty."

Zhao Hai waved his hand, "Don't think about it." ”

"Why did he suddenly get seriously ill when I summoned him?"

"Even if he is seriously ill, at least he will have to send another person, such as his cronies or his son, to deal with my errand."

"It must be that he still has a grudge in his heart, so he is unwilling to come to my door, cooperate with me, and accept my reward."

"If that's the case, then forget it, I'll go to the door myself."

Hearing this, Han Ying, Gongsun Jian, Cao Jingchun and other ministers spoke one after another: "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate." ”

"He, the leader of a small Jianghu sect, how can he make His Majesty go to see him in person? It's not in line with the etiquette law! ”

"That's right, Your Majesty, what kind of Zhang Conghu is this, I really don't know what to do, I don't give the court face at all, why does Your Majesty have to go to see him?"

"Directly send two teams of elite cavalry, and you can forcibly invite him to Xianyang City."

"Besides, this Jiangzuo place was not originally a prosperous city, but also a mountain wilderness, and it is probably very unsafe for Your Majesty to go."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly, looked at everyone, and said, "Everyone, have you ever heard of the so-called Corporal Lixian?" ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

However, everyone is well-educated, and they soon understood what Zhao Hai meant.

There was such a thing in the Spring and Autumn Period before, but now, the Qin State dominates the world, and the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

Zhao Hai has such a prestige, does he need any more Corporal Lixian?

There have long been talents like carp crossing the river, and they have all come to Zhao Hai.

So Cao Jingchun said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you have already sent someone to explain the situation, and you have also promised a generous gift. ”

"Obviously he didn't buy it, why did His Majesty still go to see him?"

Many ministers also agreed with Cao Jingchun's words when they heard this.

Zhao Hai stood up, smiled slightly and said, "Don't get excited, everyone. ”

"I have already vowed to govern Great Qin well."

"We must solve all the problems and moths of Daqin from top to bottom."

"And this Jiangzuo Zhang family is a good hand when I deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes."

"Don't say that I will go there personally, if this Zhang family is really willing to help the imperial court manage the affairs of the rivers and lakes regardless of past suspicions."

"Then I just bow and apologize, what's the problem?"

Zhao Hai's words were so shocking, but his demeanor was so calm.

As the most noble and powerful person in the world, he actually had such a measure, and for a while, Zhao Hai's demeanor and morality convinced everyone.

Cao Jingchun was even more excited, his eyes flashed with golden light, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Your Majesty's belly is simply admired by Weichen!" ”

"Great Qin has a monarch like His Majesty, why don't you worry about it?"

Everyone was guarding around Zhao Hai, like a cloud guarding a sun.

Everyone admires and admires from the bottom of their hearts.

Even with all the difficulties ahead, they feel that the future is within reach, and the dawn is just around the corner.

They no longer have the same sense of humiliation and resentment that they once felt under tyrants.

Seeing this, Zhao Hai saw that all the people around him were patting their horses.

But he was not complacent, Zhao Hai said: "Han Ying, you go and prepare for my trip now." ”

"Try to let me get to their Zhang's house as soon as possible, and it's best to rush over while they're having dinner at Zhang's house, and then stay for the night."

"In addition, travel personnel, try to be simple, don't make too much grand."

"lest I be treated as a live target on the road."

"No." Han Ying and Shen Gonggong both received orders at the same time.

"Alright, ministers, is there anything else to report?" Zhao Hai continued to ask.

At this time, Wang Xiuhu saw that many other courtiers had nothing to do, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." ”

"Tell me."

"Your Majesty, the minister's subordinates have recently gone to several post stations in Jiujiang County and found traces of this kid Ah Zhen."

"This kid is quite capable, and before he got to Jiujiang County, he recruited more than 30 young people on the road and followed him desperately."

When Zhao Hai heard this, he also smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? ”

"These people, they can't be said to be a rabble, once they encounter any sacrifices or risks, I'm afraid they will run away in the next second."

"Thirty people are two different things from three thousand."

"An army of 3,000 people is not the same thing as 30 friends."

"You should stop keeping an eye on Ah Zhen now, and withdraw all the sentry posts along the way."

"No matter what Ah Zhen has become in Jiujiang County, you and I don't want to interfere, just let him toss."

"Touching something powerful, difficult, he knew what he was like right away."

At this time, Wang Xiuhu's eyes were full of waves, he didn't expect Zhao Hai to be so ruthless to Ah Zhen.

didn't give any help, it was completely forcing Ah Zhen onto a path that couldn't be completed at all.

They don't understand, Zhao Hai just wants Ah Zhen to understand that there are some things in this world that are very helpless and desperate.

When Ah Zhen can calmly face such a thing, then it is also the time when Ah Zhen can be a general.

Those who fight a war should not only know when they can win a war, but also understand when they cannot win a war and should not fight.

"What else? Report it with me. ”

"Otherwise, I will go to Jiangzuo, and I will be delayed for a day at that time, and in that place, I will not be able to help you make decisions in time."

……

Soon, Zhao Hai had lunch and set off for Jiangzuo Zhang's house.

Starting from the palace, take the official road, then go on the waterway, all the way along the river to Zhangjia, this route has been planned.

Along the way, all martial law is allowed, and no unrelated people are allowed to get closer.
