In the imperial study of Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng put down the white silk in his hand, hid his face and wept.

It's one thing for Ying Zheng to kill Cheng Huan in a fit of anger, and it's another thing for Cheng Huan to ask for death for the sake of the government.

When I was a child, the scene of wrestling, the scene of laughing, and the scene of reading together, a brain poured into my heart.

The hatred for Fan Yuzhi has deepened a little, and the determination to unify the world has become a few percent stronger.

Zhao Gao walked into the study and said softly, "Wang, are you okay?" ”

Ying Zheng wiped away the tears, and said with a long sigh of relief: "It's okay to be a widow, it's just a little sad." ”

"After all, he is a brother of flesh and blood, no matter what mistakes he made in his life, the king still forgave him." Zhao Gao said.

"The widow never held a grudge against him, and as for his anger, it also stemmed from Cheng Huan's stupidity in listening to slander." Ying Zheng said, "And yesterday after listening to Cheng Huan's heartfelt words, the widow was not angry at all, so how can he forgive." ”

"It turns out that the king has long been relieved." Zhao Gao said with a sigh of relief.

"The widow really didn't expect that at Chenghuan's age, he would restrain his mind in a panic, and consider the overall situation to make up for his mistakes as much as possible." Ying Zheng said, "If he hadn't strengthened his will to die, presumably the widow would have spared him after learning that he had grown so much." ”

Zhao Gao nodded and said: "This kind of temperament is indeed commendable, if he had such a temperament before he set out on the expedition, he must not necessarily be deceived by Fan Yuzhi." ”

"If Cheng Huan was vigilant everywhere and was not deceived by Fan Yuzhi, I am afraid that she would have been poisoned by Fan Yuzhi a long time ago." Ying Zheng said gloomily.

"Hiss......" Zhao Gao gasped, "This is indeed possible." ”

"People, it's all fate." Ying Zheng said, "It's like a widow, and it's a ...... in a daze."

Ying Zheng realized that he almost missed his mouth, and hurriedly suppressed his voice.

Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng suspiciously, knowing that Ying Zheng must have some secrets, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Ying Zheng changed the topic and said: "Cheng Huan's masterpiece is to persuade the courtiers to be loyal to the king, so copy it on the bamboo slips and let the princes pass it on." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao arched his hand and said.

"Let's go, see Grandmother." Ying Zheng put away the white silk, got up and took Zhao Gao out of the door.

Ying Zheng originally wanted to comfort Mrs. Xia, but Na Cheng thought of Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia comforted Ying Zheng instead.

Ying Zheng learned from Mrs. Xia yesterday that Cheng Huan's state was very bad, but from Mrs. Xia's tone, she also felt that Mrs. Xia had already been relieved, so she didn't worry about anything.

Compared with Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Huayang was not so calm, Yingzheng coaxed for a while, and there were Changping Jun and Princess Nansu next to her to help, so she finally had some results.

The soft voice of a girl always melts people's hearts.

Princess Nansu was comforting Mrs. Huayang, but Yingzheng also gradually became peaceful in her heart because of Princess Nansu's words.

"Alas!" Mrs. Huayang sighed, as if she had emptied all the anger in her heart, and asked Xiang Yingzheng: "What does the king want to do with Cheng Huan's body and name." ”

"Cheng Huan's body is a whole corpse, and it can be entered into the royal cemetery." Ying Zheng said, "Keep the name of Chang'an Jun and bury him with the ceremony of the king." ”

Mrs. Huayang finally put away her sadness.

Princes who have not become the king of a country can be canonized as "king" or "son", which is the origin of the word "gentleman".

And Ying Zheng buried Cheng Huan with the courtesy of the king, obviously still recognizing Cheng Huan's royal status, and burying him in the royal cemetery, which shows that Ying Zheng has forgiven all the sins of Cheng Huan.

After coming out of Huayang Palace, Ying Zheng decided to bury Cheng Cheng in person, so he summoned Lü Buwei into the palace to arrange the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Lü Buwei was a little puzzled why Ying Zheng wanted to go in person, Ying Zheng just said that he wanted to send Cheng Zheng on his last journey.

Lü Buwei didn't ask anything more.

--------------

At the same time, Zhao Guo, outside the city of Handan.

Fan Yuzhi and Jing Ke each rode a horse and looked at Handan City at the edge of their sight.

"Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end. Let's leave it at that. Jing Ke looked at Fan Yuqi and said.

"Brother Jing, the grace of saving your life, Fan will definitely repay him in the future." Fan Yuzhi arched his hand and said.

"Brother Fan has entered Handan, what are your plans?" Jing Ke asked.

Fan Yuqi said without thinking: "When I enter Handan, meet King Zhao, first hold an official position, and then make plans." ”

Jing Ke nodded and said, "It should be so." ”

"It's better that Brother Jing also stays in Zhao State, and with Brother Jing's skills, it shouldn't be difficult to find an official position in the court." Fan Yuqi said.

Jing Ke waved his hand and said, "I'm used to being at ease, and those etiquette systems are really unbearable." But thank you Brother Fan for your kindness. ”

Fan nodded in understanding.

Jing Ke looked at Fan Yuqi and asked, "There is something unclear below, and I hope that Brother Fan will advise." ”

"Please." Fan Yuqi said.

"For Brother Fan, is Cheng Chan really a person who can be abandoned at will?" Jing Ke asked.

Fan Yuqi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jing Ke to ask this question, and he was silent for a while before saying: "After all, I grew up watching it since I was a child, how can I say that I will give it up." However, if only one of the two can live, I believe that anyone's choice will be the same as Fan. ”

Jing Ke smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

"What's more, if Fan is captured back to Qin, he will inevitably be punished to death, but if Cheng is captured, he may not die." Fan added.

Jing Ke nodded and said, "When Brother Fan said this, the guilt for Cheng Chan in his heart was a little less. ”

Jing Ke said this just to reduce Fan Yuzhi's suspicion of him, but Fan Yuzhi understood it to mean something else.

"No matter what the outcome of Cheng Chan is, it is caused by Fan's hand, and it has nothing to do with others, Brother Jing should have saved my and Cheng Chan's lives."

"If you have something to ask for in the future, I hope Brother Fan will not shirk it." Jing Ke said.

"Brother Jing, don't worry, in the future, even if you want to go back with my old life, Fan will not frown." Fan Yuzhi said resolutely.

"Brother Fan is serious." Jing Ke clenched his fists and said, "There will be a period later." ”

"Brother Jing, take care." Fan Yuzhi also clenched his fists.

The two parted.

But when he didn't want to see each other again, it was more than ten years later, and Jing Ke really borrowed something from Fan Wuji......

King Zhao's Palace, the Hall of Parliament.

The elderly King Zhao looked at Fan Yuqi, who bowed and saluted, and said coldly: "You escaped back by yourself?" ”

"Back to the king, exactly." Fan replied.

"Where's the adult?" King Zhao asked.

"In the midst of the chaos, I accidentally got separated." Where did Fan Yuzhi dare to say that he threw down the Cheng Chan and fled back by himself.

"That means that Cheng Chan has either been captured or has died on the battlefield?" King Zhao asked.

"According to the news that I inquired on the next road, Cheng Chan has been brought back to Xianyang." Fan Yuqi said.

"Since Cheng Chan has been brought back to the Qin State, what do you mean by being alone, coming to find a widow?" King Zhao said disdainfully.

Fan Yuzhi's heart sank suddenly, and said: "King, we have agreed before, if we can't raise an army, we will let Fan and Cheng Yu defect to Zhao State." ”

"Humph!" King Zhao said coldly: "Since you know that the condition is for you to bring Cheng Chan to defect to Zhao State, then now that you abandon Cheng Chan and come alone, what use do you want." ”

Fan Yuzhi's heart was numb, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and looked at King Zhao with shrunken eyes.

"If Cheng Chan comes to defect to Zhao State, the widow will inevitably worship the general and be knighted for the purpose of attacking Qin in the future." King Zhao said, "But what about you, what is the use of you when you talk about it yourself?" ”

"Great, the king..."Fan Yuzhi looked embarrassed, and he couldn't say anything.

"The widow will speak for you." King Zhao still had that disdainful expression and said, "You secretly reported the news, but because you were afraid of being exposed, you didn't make good use of the key person Mrs. Huayang." You went out with Cheng Chan, only to persuade him to mutiny, but did not help him with careful planning. You only know how to buy middle-level generals, but you don't know what is on the minds of the soldiers. In the end, you only know how to live alone, and you feel that it is a burden, so you abandon it. ”

Fan Yuzhi was said to be useless by King Zhao, and the cold sweat had already wet the collar.

"Until the end, you still have a chance to contribute to Zhao Guoguo." King Zhao continued, "Even if you bring back Cheng Chan...... It's a pity you didn't. ”

The last straw drifted away with the wind like this, and Fan Yuzhi seemed to have suddenly lost his soul, looking at the ground with empty eyes.

For Zhao Guo, he has no value.

At this time, a military general stood in front of the main hall, majestic and extraordinary.

It's none other than the famous general of Zhao State, Li Mu.

Li Mu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, according to the general, there is indeed a place available in this Fan Yu period. ”

Fan Yuzhi looked at Li Mu, as if he had seen a savior, and longed for Li Mu to say a few good words for himself.

"Oh?" King Zhao was puzzled, "General Li is here to tell me where he can be used." ”

Li Mu Lingran said: "Presumably, now, the entire Qin State will sound this curse from Fan Yuzhi, and King Yingzheng of Qin will definitely hate him. If he is kept in the court, it will definitely attract the revenge of the Qin State. In that case, he asked the king to allocate troops and fight to the death with the Qin army to avenge Changping's revenge. ”

As soon as these words came out, the corners of King Zhao's mouth twitched twice.

The position of the military commander and the king is not necessarily the same.

The generals want to kill the enemy and capture the city, make meritorious achievements, and even if they die in battle, it is glorious.

The king thinks more about the gains and losses of interests, just like the Heshi Bi in the past, he may not be willing to exchange a few cities for them. What's more, after the Battle of Changping, the overall strength of Zhao State has not yet recovered to a certain level, and if it really fights Qin State, there will be no chance of victory at all.

However, Li Mu's words reminded King Zhao.

This Fan Yu period is not only useless, but also a hot potato.

"Come on, push this Fan out and behead it, and then send the head to the King of Qin." King Zhao said sharply.

Fan Yuzhi sat there on his knees, no longer expressionless.

"The king shall not." A powerful minister stepped forward and arched his hand and said, it was Guo Kai.

"Why?" King Zhao asked.

"First, even if the king kills Fan Yuzhi, the King of Qin may not appreciate it, because the rumors of his life experience are spread by Zhao State, and Ying Zheng must have guessed or learned about the conspiracy between Zhao Wei, Han Sanjin and Fan Yuzhi." Guo Kai said, "If Fan Yuzhi's head is sent back to the Qin State, the King of Qin will think that we are afraid of him. ”

"Second, although Fan Yuzhi has not succeeded, after all, he has contributed to the Zhao State for a long time, and if he is killed, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of those who are in other countries but serve the Zhao State."

"Third, once the problem intensifies, Princess Hu Yu may be implicated."

King Zhao narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and asked, "Then in your opinion, what should be done with this person?" ”

According to the minister, he was given a house and a certain amount of silver, which was enough for the rest of his life. If he doesn't want to stay in Zhao State, then feel free. Guo Kai said.

King Zhao nodded and looked at Fan Yuqi: "This kind of arrangement is very reasonable for the widow, so I guess you won't have any opinions." ”

Fan Yuzhi saved his life, how could he still hesitate, and hurriedly responded: "Thank you for the king's gift." ”

King Zhao waved his hand, and the two guards took Fan Yuzhi down.

In Fan Yuzhi's lost eyes, the glorious Zhao Palace gradually faded away, and with his hope, it turned into an afterimage.
