Quick Transmigration: Legendary Figures of the Ages

Chapter 444 After becoming the Lord of Changping, Prince Fusu became the most favored of the group (Twenty-nine)
(Twenty-nine)

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant looked at each other, straightened their dirty and tattered clothes, and walked into Xianyang city with high spirits.

Changping Jun said that the king knows what is right and wrong.

Changping Jun also said that he was not afraid of having his bones broken into pieces, as he wanted to keep his innocence in this world.

However, with Changping Jun's current notoriety, can he still be clean in this life?

The county magistrate said he was unsure.

Unexpectedly and yet expectedly, I was able to meet the king without any hindrance.

Well, Your Majesty really has the appearance of a wise ruler.

As the county governor and the county lieutenant entered the hall, they were so nervous that their legs went weak and they slid to their knees and performed an awkward prostration.

There was a hint of urgency in the eyes of King Ying Zheng of Qin, but it did not show on his face. He remained dignified, domineering, calm and resolute.

"My Lord, Chang..."

Should I respectfully call him Lord Changping, or should I follow the local customs and call him a traitor?

Zhao Gao, the roundworm who was standing by, hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, "Lord Changping."

The king's thoughts are like the undercurrent of the abyss.

If you can't guess it, don't guess easily.

The king's words were the final word that Changping Jun rebelled against Qin on the battlefield.

But he saw clearly that the king had no hatred towards Changping Jun, but instead spared no effort to protect Changping Jun's relatives, which made him unable to help but think about it.

Logically speaking, the king hated betrayal so much that he should have been furious and ordered the beheading of Changping Jun's relatives.

"Changping Jun ordered me to bring two bamboo slips to Xianyang to present to the king."

Covered by his sleeves, King Ying Zheng of Qin curled his index finger slightly and rubbed it with his thumb.

What would be written on Changping Jun’s bamboo slips?
Explode one's own heart?

Ask for his protection?

No.

will not.

Changping Jun would not record any words of heaven's punishment on bamboo slips.

"Present it." King Ying Zheng of Qin said quietly.

Zhao Gao bowed his head, took the bamboo slips with quick, light steps and presented them with both hands.

King Ying Zheng of Qin flipped through the bamboo slips and saw "No regrets" written on one and "Don't be afraid" written on the other.

Obviously, the other bamboo slip was intended for him to pass on to Mi Hua and He Fusu.

As his fingertips brushed across the words, the Qin King Ying Zheng's gloomy mood that had lasted for many days dissipated and became brighter.

He did not reveal his true feelings.

I didn't ask for his protection.

He believed in Changping Jun, and Changping Jun also believed in him.

No need to say much, everything is said without words.

Zhao Gao knew King Ying Zheng of Qin very well. With just a glance, he knew that the King was in a good mood.

Changping Jun is worthy of being Changping Jun. No one can replace Changping Jun's position in Your Majesty's heart.

Therefore, Prince Fusu will not fall.

Zhao Gao was keenly aware of this.

Forget it, forget it, he still has to hide his little thoughts a little deeper.

Best of all, never see the light of day.

Unless, unless Prince Fusu's position is no longer as stable as a rock.

King Ying Zheng of Qin looked at these few numbers for a long time.

It seems as if he wants to imprint every stroke in his mind.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant knelt on the ground trembling with fear, waiting for the verdict of their fate.

After a long while, Ying Zheng spoke again, "Does Changping Jun trust you?"

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant gave up and nodded obediently.

In front of the king, there is no thought of bluffing or deceiving anyone.

Changping Jun taught by words and deeds, and was loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Loyal to the king who has great talent and foresight.

Ying Zheng's eyebrows relaxed. "That's honest."

The county magistrate blurted out, "It's loyalty."

Ying Zheng:  …

Is this county magistrate with his eyes rolling around brave or timid?

However, Changping Jun arranged for the two to deliver the bamboo slips because he wanted to build a ladder for them to succeed.

Well, he stayed. "How is Changping Jun?"

The governor hesitated, and the lieutenant had no choice but to reply, "Changping Jun went to Shouchun."

"explain……"

"The nobles of Chu have promised him so many great things, now he has to go pick the fruits and fight for the title of King of Chu."

Ying Zheng was stunned.

Fight for the position of King of Chu?

It's not impossible.

Changping Jun's prompt and brilliant move saved the reputation of the Qin Dynasty.

The army that mourns will win.

If the Qin Dynasty attacks Chu again, it will be invincible in conquering cities and territories.

The State of Chu won, but it lost the support of the people and was branded as cruel, ruthless and unscrupulous.

People's hearts were in turmoil, and with Changping Jun's wisdom and courage, it was not difficult for him to get a piece of the pie.

As the eldest son of King Kaolie of Chu, he also had great achievements in defending the territory. What's wrong with him trying to snatch the throne from Fu Chu?
Is there a problem?

no problem!
However, he was unwilling to engage in battle with Changping Jun.

Changping Jun truly used his reputation and life to pave the way for his cause of unification.

Thinking of this, King Ying Zheng of Qin sighed.

“Whatever he wants to do, he will succeed.”

"You two will stay in Xianyang. I will instruct Li Si, the court judge, to make proper arrangements."

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

County Magistrate: Lord Changping is indeed the benefactor of his life.

County Lieutenant: Lord Changping is a real man who keeps his word.

At this moment, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant silently swore in their hearts that they would do their best to protect Prince Fusu.

In the words of Changping Jun, Prince Fusu was a kind and virtuous man who understood the vastness of the universe and felt pity for the green grass and trees.

Although I didn't quite understand what he said, it was still a compliment.

Afterwards, King Ying Zheng of Qin overcame all opposition in the court and saved Changping Jun's relatives.

Mi Hua, who was confined to the palace, guarded the bamboo slips, which infused a sense of security into her heart, which was like a helpless boat in the vast ocean.

Don't be afraid.

She didn't know what consensus her father and the king had reached.

But she knew that her father was still alive, and the king had not abandoned her and Fusu, and the lives of the law-abiding Mi clan members in Xianyang were safe.

enough.

After the court affairs were settled, Ying Zheng personally went to Pingyang to invite Wang Jian to come out and lead the army to destroy Jingchu.

Wang Jian declined, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am an old minister who is weak, tired, incompetent, and has lost my fighting spirit. I cannot take on this important task. I beg Your Majesty to choose another good general."

King Ying Zheng of Qin was not angry at being rejected.

After all, he had rejected Wang Jian in the same way before.

He spoke sincerely from the bottom of his heart, "General, in the battle against Chu, 200,000 Qin soldiers died. The whole country is in grief, and I am also heartbroken."

"But, there is absolutely no reason to lay down your arms and retreat to the mountains just because you lose a battle."

"I beg you, General, to come out again and lead the army to attack Chu for the sake of Great Qin, for my sake, and for the sake of the whole world."

"General, two hundred thousand soldiers cannot die in vain."

Although Wang Jian looked very old, his eyes made him look vigorous and strong.

"If the king orders me to attack Chu, I will require an army of 600,000 men, otherwise it will be unbeatable."

Even though King Ying Zheng of Qin was a man of great courage and insight, his heart still trembled subconsciously.

Two hundred thousand soldiers had been killed, and Wang Jian asked for six hundred thousand, which was the military force of the entire Qin State.

It is all he relies on and the trump card of Qin's attack.

Handing it over to Wang Jian is equivalent to entrusting one's life and property, as well as the fate of the Qin Dynasty, to Wang Jian alone.

With this victory, the Qin Dynasty was able to unify the country.

If we lose this battle, the Qin Dynasty will probably become a small vassal state that has to rely on others and cede land to beg for mercy.

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian looked at each other.

Ying Zheng saw the determination in Wang Jian's eyes.

Wang Jian also saw the weighing in Ying Zheng's eyes.

After a long while, Ying Zheng said in a loud voice, "Then let's do as the general says."

"The fate of me and the Qin Dynasty is in the hands of the general."

He took this huge gamble!
