Chapter 301 Open
Sakura garden in the mountains.
On the open mountain road, I saw a person riding a horse, coming slowly.
There was a towering tower in front of the door. The guard saw this strange young man and asked.
"Who is sir?"
"I'm Han Fei, I'm a guest, and I'd like to see Mr. Hanyang!"
The guards looked at each other and were even more surprised: Why is this inexplicable guy so confident that he can meet their master?
Han Fei seemed to see the doubts of the guards and smiled softly.
"You don't need to worry too much. Please tell me. I believe Lord Hanyang will meet me."
Han Fei waited in front of the door for a while, and soon he received the news that he was allowed to enter.
The door opened slowly, and Han Fei walked in. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart when he saw the warriors standing on the road.
The place where Zhao Shuang met him was in the backyard, across a pond, and Han Fei saw Zhao Shuang who was having lunch.
"Here we go, let's have something to eat together?"
Han Fei got up early in the morning and rushed here from Xianyang. His stomach was already empty. Hearing Zhao Shuang's words, he was not polite. He walked over and sat on the verandah, picked up the chopsticks...
"This courtyard is similar to the palace of the princes. It cost a lot of money, right?"
Han Fei asked while eating. The two of them behaved more like ordinary farmers than nobles.
"No, no..." Zhao Shuang waved his hand, "It was given to me for nothing."
A smile appeared on Han Fei's face. There were not many people in Xianyang City who could do this!
"As I walked along, I saw that the soldiers in Your Majesty's Mansion were all elite. Even the Imperial Guards in King Han's Palace were not as good as them. They were so brave, yet not chaotic at all. I couldn't tell that Your Majesty had never led any troops before. He has such accomplishments in commanding the army."
Zhao Shuang raised his head and glanced at Han Fei.
"what do you want to say?"
Han Fei was eating his food, but he stopped when he heard Zhao Shuang's words.
"I have a guess. Although it is ridiculous, it has been lingering in my mind. Can you tell me about it today?"
"guess?"
"Yes! I have been wondering whether Zhao Shuang, the general of the Zhao State who jointly attacked Qin in the past, and the Han Yangjun of today are the same person?"
Han Fei looked at Zhao Shuang, looking forward to his next move.
According to Han Fei's guess, many things could happen next, and the worst one is that Zhao Shuang wants to silence him.
However, Han Fei never expected that Zhao Shuang nodded, agreed, and took another bite of rice for himself.
"yes!"
This courtyard is located in the mountains, but among Zhao Shuang's meals, the vegetables, fruits and meats are of the best quality and are quite fresh. It seems that someone supplies fresh ingredients to this mansion every day.
Moreover, the chef who made this dish is obviously not an ordinary person. His cooking skills are quite superb, so that such an ordinary dish can be made so delicious.
However, Zhao Shuang's answer made Han Fei, who was mentally prepared, feel that the food in his mouth tasted tasteless. In Han Fei's view, this is somewhat unacceptable.
It's like a detective who works hard to collect clues and find evidence. When he is fully prepared, he finds the suspect and is confidently prepared to use the excuses he has prepared to interrogate him and make him submit. However, the suspect confessed immediately, which made the detective not only feel that all his efforts were in vain, but also his behavior was very low-level!
"You admit it so quickly?"
Zhao Shuang had finished eating at this time, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and put his hands on Han Fei's shoulders.
"I'm such an honest person. No matter what you say, others won't believe it."
"..."
Han Fei was a little discouraged and felt powerless. He suddenly realized that every time he faced this kid, he couldn't get the upper hand.
"Why did you trick me into coming to Qin?"
The current situation in Qin is quite complicated. As the ninth son of Korea, Han Fei was worshiped as a guest minister as soon as he entered the Qin Dynasty, which naturally attracted attention.
However, Han Fei, as a guest, and Zhao Shuang, as the head of the family, naturally have opposing conditions.
And if Han Fei is really put in the important position of the King of Qin, he will make suggestions to weaken the power of the family - this is the consistent position of Legalism. Han Fei only talked to Zhao Shuang a few times, but they knew each other very well. He didn't believe that the other party didn't know what he would do?
Zhao Shuang smiled and said lightly.
"Now that the King of Qin will be in charge, most of the clans have already sided with the King. And once the King successfully takes control of power, they will jump out. The clans of Qin have been suppressed for too long, and I am afraid that there will be a large-scale Exclude the incident involving the guest. Once things go over the line, the backlash will be terrifying, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape my involvement.”
Han Fei's eyes sparkled, and he seemed to understand what Zhao Shuang meant.
"So, you want me to be the next 'Lu Buwei', as the leader of the guests, to fight against the family and maintain the balance of the court?"
"'Lu Buwei' is not enough. You have the talent, but you don't have the heart. Your fellow disciple Li Si is more suitable. However, after all, Li Si is not as noble as you. In a short period of time, your influence will be needed to deal with chaos. Bureau."
Han Fei looked at Zhao Shuang, who smiled like a fox.
"Are you so sure that you can defeat Lu Buwei? You know, his current strength is still strong. Most of the generals in the lieutenant army and captain army inside and outside Xianyang City were promoted by him."
"It's not that I want to defeat Lu Buwei, but that Da Qin no longer needs a prime minister with all the power in the world. Even if his strategy is like a god, it is no longer important."
Zhao Shuang's long words were filled with deep meaning, which made Han Fei thoughtful.
Qin Palace.
"See your Majesty!"
On the throne, King Qin sat high, looking across a pool of clear water at the two people in the palace: Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi.
"I wonder if the king has summoned us to come here. What can you tell me?"
Lu Buwei cupped his hands and asked. After all, there must be something special that summoned the two of them urgently at this time.
"I am about to take charge of the throne, so I should follow the ancestral system and go to Yongcheng to hold the crowning ceremony. All major and minor matters will also be under the control of the Prime Minister and the Lord of Changping."
King Qin's gentle words made the two most powerful people in the palace freeze on the spot.
"Why so-"
Before Lu Buwei finished speaking, he heard Lord Chang Ping speaking from the side.
"I obey the king's will!"
Lu Buwei glanced at Changping Jun, but saw a happy look on his face. A person like Mr. Chang Ping is actually happy, which shows how happy he is at this moment.
But Lu Buwei was not happy at all. There were several places between the old capital of Qin and the former king's palace, so why did he go to Yongcheng?
For a moment, he felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
However, even though he was unwilling in his heart, Lu Buwei could not object. He could only imitate Lord Chang Ping and bow his hand.
"I obey your will."
