Chapter 286: Li Si Goes to Korea
In the next few days, Ying Zheng not only went to the Mausoleum of King Wu every day to take a look, then learned alchemy, but also took care of the maple leaves, which can be described as quite busy.
On this day, Ying Zheng was just about to go to the backyard to practice alchemy, when Zhao Gao walked into the study from the outside and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo is back, and he is waiting outside with Changping Jun to be summoned."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng was slightly startled, and then said, "Hurry up, please."
Zhao Gao answered, and then went out.
When Chang Pingjun and Zheng Guo entered the door, they both bowed respectfully.
Ying Zheng looked at the seat with a smile, personally made a cup of hot tea for the two of them, and handed it to the two of them respectively.
"Lord Zheng has worked hard all the way, what is the effect of this trip?" Ying Zheng asked straight to the point.
"Back to the king." Zheng Guo arched his hand and said, "Han Fei seems to have some scruples, so he doesn't want to come in person, so he just revised all the drawings of the canal for us."
"Well, it's to be expected that he's not coming." Ying Zheng said, "How about the pattern, can it be used?"
"Yes!" Zheng Guo replied very simply, "Han Fei is indeed a talent, although he did not come in person, but he modified the pattern accurately, which is more elaborate than what I, a person who cultivates water conservancy, and in the discussion with him, some problems have also been solved."
"So, the canal can be built in succession?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Hmm!" Zheng Guo nodded and said, "There won't be any more problems this time."
"Hehe, that's good." Ying Zhengxi said, "It seems that this Han Fei is indeed a rare talent, but it is indeed a pity that he cannot be invited."
"Han Fei is indeed talented, if the king can find him to contribute to Great Qin, it will be a blessing for the temple." Zheng Guo said.
Ying Zheng sighed lightly and said, "I'm afraid that everyone has their own ambitions, let's wait and see, Li Si said that he was going to South Korea before, after all, they have been classmates for many years."
"If Li Si can persuade him to come over, then it will be good." Chang Pingjun said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It's better for the widow to call Li Si here, and let's discuss this matter together."
"Okay." Chang Pingjun and Zheng Guo responded at the same time.
Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gao to summon Li Si.
"Master Zheng, let's talk about Han Fei's situation in South Korea." Li Si said after sitting down.
Zheng Guo cleared his throat and said, "Han Fei, as a Korean son, speaks quite a lot in the temples of South Korea, but the official position given to him by King Han is not high, and all the court affairs in Korea are controlled by Zhang Ping, the prime minister, but Han Fei has a very good relationship with Zhang Ping, but he doesn't care much about these things."
"They have a good relationship?" Ying Zheng asked, "How good is it?"
"You can count it as a confidant." Zheng Guo said, "Although Han Fei is talented, his personality is slightly eccentric and he stutters, so he has almost no friends, but he can talk to Zhang Ping."
"Indeed." Li Si said, "When he and I were under Xunzi, he was a little isolated, and his classmates didn't discuss much with him, but the more such people are, once they regard you as a confidant, they will treat you well without hesitation."
"It seems that this Zhang Ping has become a weakness of Han Fei." Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "Where is that Zhang Ping from, and who is in the family?"
"Back to the king." Zheng Guo arched his hand and said, "Zhang Ping's father, named Zhang Kaidi, was the last minister of South Korea, and assisted the king of Han for three terms, and now, their father and son have assisted the king of Han, and the status of the Zhang family in South Korea is very high, and it can be said that the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition."
"It's a pity that Zhang Ping's wife was never pregnant, and it wasn't until six years ago that Zhang Ping was born a young son by the concubine, named Zhang Liang."
"Although this Zhang Liang is young, he is extremely smart, and he is also deeply liked by Han Fei, I know Han Fei very well, if we do something unrighteous, he would rather die than succumb."
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's not think about starting with Zhang Ping first, but is there any good way for Mr."
"King Han." Lees direct
He said, "When I traveled around the world, I talked with King Han, and although I didn't have much contact, I am sure that King Han is a narrow-minded man who is greedy for vanity."
Zheng Guo sighed worriedly, the past flashed in his mind, and he said in a deep voice: "It is undeniable that King Han is indeed like this, even when I go back this time, he humiliates me."
"Humph!" Ying Zheng said coldly, "You risked your life to keep the peace of South Korea, but now he treats you like this, it seems that this South Korea will not make any better."
"yes." Zheng Guo sighed with emotion, "After this experience, I have lost my heart to South Korea, hehe, think about it, my Zheng family is Zheng Guo's family, why should I bow down to the people who destroy the country."
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Zheng Guo's eyes.
"That's a good point." Ying Zheng said, "The widow hereby assures you that as long as you are loyal to the widow in your heart and loyal to the widow, the widow will definitely let you show your talents, and this canal will be officially named Zheng Guoqu!"
Zheng Guo's eyes trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "Weichen thanks the king for his grace!"
Last time, Zheng Guo was forced to be helpless, but this time, he completely surrendered.
"Hehe, please get up." Ying Zheng helped Zheng Guo up with a smile and said, "After being in the Qin State for so long, you should also know that only Great Qin is the best stage for talented people in the world."
"Hahaha, the king's words are true." Changping Jun smiled, "I am also the prince of the Chu State, but I really feel that only in the Qin State can I display my talents."
Changping Jun's intention was to use himself as an example to persuade Zheng Guo to concentrate on serving Qin, but he didn't want to inadvertently touch a trace of Ying Zheng's heart.
However, this touch was only a fleeting moment, Ying Zheng didn't think too much about it, he looked at Zheng Guo again and said, "Do you have anything else to add to Han Fei?"
Zheng Guo thought for a while, and then said, "For Han Fei, there is nothing to say, but on the way to Xinzheng, Weichen once stayed in Luoyi, and had a very happy conversation with his county guard Zhuge Teng, and during the banquet, he asked about the recent situation of our Daqin many times."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked with interest, "What did he inquire about?"
"He asked about the king's character, and about the people." Zheng Guo said, "Moreover, he also said that the current Great Zhou Yu is more grateful to Great Qin than hate."
"Did he really say that?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.
"Hmm." Zheng Guo nodded with certainty.
"Hehe, it seems that this Zhuge Teng is already planning for Luoyi's way out." Li Si said with a smile.
"What do you mean...... Sir" Ying Zheng paused and said, "He already has the heart to change his title?"
Li Si nodded slightly.
Zheng Guo followed and said: "This point, Wei Chen is actually aware of it, so he mentioned this matter, if the king can bring Zhuge Teng under his command, then Luo Yi will naturally be at his fingertips."
Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, it's time to make some amends to Luoyi."
For Luoyi, Ying Zheng always had a trace of regret in his heart, although the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not die in his hands, but after all, it was inseparable from him.
"Your Majesty." Li Si opened his mouth and said, "Leave this matter to Weichen, before I go to Xinzheng, I can go to Luoyi to find out the truth first, if Zhuge Teng really intends to surrender, maybe he can also help in Han Fei's problem."
"Okay, then Mr. Law, go to South Korea." Ying Zheng said, "How many people do you think you need for this trip?"
plum
Si shook his head with a smile and said, "Hehe, Weichen is enough for one person, without a single soldier, prepare for one day today, and set off tomorrow."
"Well, that's it, the widow is looking forward to the good news from Sir!" Ying Zheng said to Li Si.
Li Si also returned the salute.
South Korea, the country closest to Qin, is also the weakest of the Seven Heroes.
The route and sequence of the destruction of the country analyzed by Li Si before were also started by South Korea.
But according to Ji Fa's plan, it was opened
There are still eight years to recuperate in the war to destroy the country, and during this time, Yingzheng really doesn't want to fight with other countries.
However, if we do not make any moves, we will not be able to disintegrate the forces of the enemy country.
The reason why Ying Zheng is so interested in Han Fei is that he wants South Korea to lose a think tank first, no matter whether Han Fei can serve Daqin in the end or not, King Han will have one less arm by his side.
Now it seems that if Zhuge Teng surrenders again, then South Korea will be completely chaotic.
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Si stepped on the war horse, bid farewell to Yingzheng, and set foot on the official road to South Korea alone.
Heading east, across the Hangu Pass, Lee Si entered the borders of Korea.
When entering the west gate of Luoyi, Li Si handed over his paperwork to the soldiers defending the city.
The sergeant defending the city glanced at it, frowned, and then handed the document to a commander not far behind him.
The commander glanced at Wen Mu, then walked up to Li Si and said respectfully, "May I ask if Your Excellency is an envoy from Great Qin?"
"Exactly." Li Si also responded very respectfully.
The commander arched his hand and said: "The county guards have orders, but all those who come from the Qin State and pass through here are distinguished guests, and your Excellency is an envoy, and you are even more of a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests.
The attitude and words of this commander have proved some problems to a certain extent.
Li Si bowed his hand and saluted back, "Then bother the commander to send someone to lead the way."
"No, I'll escort you myself." The Commander leaned sideways to get out of the way, "Please!"
The sergeant next to him took the reins of Li Si, and the commander led the way in front and led Li Si into the pavilion.
Li Si rested in the pavilion for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, followed by some noisy footsteps from far and near.
Dangdang......
There was a knock on the door, and Li Si stepped forward to open the door.
Appearing at the door was a young man dressed as a lieutenant.
"May I ask if your Excellency is Qin Envoy Li Si?" The visitor asked.
"Right down there." Li Si bowed his head slightly.
The person who came bowed his hand and said, "I have seen the Qin envoy in Xia, and the county guard of my family heard that the envoy to Korea passed through Luoyi, so I hereby send my lord to the county government to talk about it."
"yes, okay." Li Si raised his hand and gestured, "Let's go."
"Your Excellency, please."
Li Si followed the deputy general to the Luoyi County Mansion.
Before I walked to the gate of the house, I saw a group of people guarding the gate of the house from afar, led by a man who was tall, with a square face and slightly dark skin.
"Hahaha......
I saw that the leader laughed loudly and said loudly: "Luoyi County Shou Zhuge Teng, I have heard of Lord Li's prestige for a long time, so I am here to wait."
This person is none other than the internal history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now the county guard of Luoyi, Zhuge Teng.
When the words landed, Li Si had already walked in front of Zhuge Teng, he looked at Zhuge Teng, and bowed his hand and said, "Under the Great Qin Tingwei Li Si, please meet Lord Zhuge ".
"Hehe, Lord Li is honored to be able to appreciate the light." Zhuge Teng replied, "Please also talk about it in the house, please!"
"Hehe, in that case, then Liss will bother."
With that, Li Si calmly walked into the gate of the Luoyi County Mansion.
