Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Korea

"Your Majesty, the envoy from Qin requests an audience."

Ever since the Korean envoy arrived in Xinzheng yesterday, Zhang Kaidi had a bad feeling in his heart.

"pass."

Yao Jia and Yang Rui took the lead, followed by four soldiers, each holding a box in their hands.

"Foreign ministers have met the King of Han"

"The Qin envoys are exempt from the formalities."

"King Han, my king has sent us to deliver a gift to the Kingdom of Han."

Yao Jia said this and asked the four people behind him to come forward.

Han Wangan looked at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch stepped forward and took a box.

"Open it and see what it is."

"what"

The eunuch opened the box and squatted on the ground in fear. The box in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang". The head in the box rolled a long way and landed right beside his open legs.

Zhang Kai suppressed his fear and took a few steps back. The other ministers also took a few steps back, looking at Yao Jia and others in shock, and then became furious.

"What is the reason for you, Qin, to openly bring a head into the court of Han? You are bullying Han, who has no one to support you!"

"The tiger-wolf Qin really doesn't know how to behave."

The court officials' impassioned curses made King Han sit up straight, as if he had found his place.

"How dare the King of Qin bully me!"

"That makes no sense."

Yao Jia, Yang Ruihe and others were not afraid of the reaction of the Korean monarch and his ministers. "Open all the other boxes."

"promise."

Yao Jia stepped forward and said, "Recently, our Qin's Grand Minister was assassinated in Xianyang, and these people are the assassins. After interrogating General Meng of Qin, we learned that these people were actually sent by Han to our Qin State with the purpose of abducting our Qin's Grand Minister. Gu, our king sent foreign officials to question the King of Han, but there is no one to bully our Qin State!"

Upon hearing this, King Han's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhang Kaidi, who shook his head slightly. King Han sat up straight and asked:

"Well, I never sent anyone to assassinate you, the Minister of Qin."

"You Qin State, please do not frame me."

"The Qin people are unreasonable. How dare you openly frame our king?"

"The Qin people are indeed despicable."

"Yes, the Qin people are cunning. How can we know if this is just a story you staged?"

Yao Jia turned around and glanced around, then said, "During the fight, our Qin State also seized the swords of these thieves. They were all made by your Han State. The evidence is outside the palace. Would you like to present it to us?"

Today, I, Yao Jia, will definitely prove this crime to you, South Korea.

"Master Yao Jia, is there some misunderstanding here? Is it possible that these people deliberately used my Korean sword to frame my country?"

Zhang Kai stroked his beard, looked at Yao Jia with a smile, and spoke slowly.

"Prime Minister, can the swords used by your Korean army be stolen so easily?"

General.

"This……"

If he admitted it, wouldn't it mean that Han Guo was incompetent and couldn't even keep his sword. If he didn't admit it, then the crime of assassinating the Qin Lord would also fall on Han Guo.

Zhang Kai didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The court officials were also discussing it.

Han Wangan looked at this and that, but no one was willing to take on the task.

"Lord Yao Jia, how can you carry weapons in the hall? There is no need to present them." Zhang Kaidi spoke again.

"You, Han, will select a reliable person and bring him to the palace. The people of Qin will not interfere."

General*2

As a military general, Yang Ruihe watched Yao Jia's performance from beginning to end and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

I must not offend Yao Jia in the future. He talks too much and makes my mouth look like a decoration.

"I wonder which Qin leader these assassins targeted? Is he safe now?"

He avoided the sharp edge for a moment and changed the subject to ask.

"Oh," Yao Jia sighed, shook his head, and looked very sad. The speed at which his expression changed made Yang Ruihe amazed.

"King Han, you all may not know that Lord Zhang is already frail and has a short lifespan. He needs to take good care of himself and take various rare medicinal herbs daily." At this point, Yao Jia secretly apologized to Zhang Yuanqing. He had offended Lord Zhang, and it was all for the sake of Qin. "Every time you go to court, your Majesty is worried about Lord Zhang's health. After court, the ministers always give way to Lord Zhang's carriage and let him go first, fearing that he would catch a cold if he delayed for a while. Your Majesty also sends a physician to check Lord Zhang's pulse every three to five days. Despite such carefulness, Lord Zhang still can't recover. He coughs all day long and takes medicine all the time."

Yang Ruihe and the others tried hard to suppress the corners of their mouths that were about to curl up, and thought about all the pain they had experienced in half a lifetime, and only then did they hold back their laughter.

King Han: You Qin State also wants to use such a sickly person?

Han Chen: Is it true that there are no more people left in the Qin State?

"Everyone, even though Lord Zhang is in such a state, there are still people who want to assassinate him. How can these villains be so cruel?"

"King Han, my lords, I believe everyone is familiar with the paper and pens made in Qin."

of course.

They still bought it, but the price was a bit high.

"This method of making paper and pen was invented by Master Zhang."

"We are all scholars, and we all understand the importance of paper and pens. Yet, Lord Zhang is willing to sell these expensive papers and pens at a low price to provide convenience for us scholars. Lord Zhang's action can be said to be a saintly act."

"That is."

Han Chen whispered to each other and nodded in agreement.

"But what did Lord Zhang, a man of such noble character, get? He was assassinated! Shouldn't everyone kill such a villain?"

The head opened and nodded halfway, but suddenly stopped.

However, before he could say anything, Yao Jia continued, "This year, our Qin State has grown chestnuts with a yield of four stone per mu. Everyone knows this, right?"

This is natural.

Nowadays, who in the world does not envy your Qin State for having such a method of improving land?

Didn’t you see that farmer Xu Xing and his disciples went to your Qin State?

"This is also the work of Lord Zhang! Lord Zhang, despite his illness, spent three years searching for a method to improve the soil, traveling throughout Qin State until he finally found the solution. Upon his success, Lord Zhang immediately reported it to our king and made it available to all the people of Qin. Such selfless dedication and dedication to the people."

"However, now someone wants to assassinate Lord Zhang. How despicable and cruel!"

Yao Jia expressed his dissatisfaction with the assassin with a face full of grief and indignation. The Korean court officials could not say a word, and they also didn't know how to speak.

If this was really done by South Korea, then they are indeed not in the right.

Everyone looked at each other, whispered to each other, and finally looked at the prime minister.

If there really was someone from the State of Korea who sent an assassin to the State of Qin, it could only be the Prime Minister.

"King Han, it's not that we are unreasonable to bring human heads to the Kingdom of Korea, but we have irrefutable evidence that these assassins are from Korea."

With a change of tone, Yao Jia finally got to the point after laying so much groundwork: "King of Han, these are the confessions of these assassins when they were interrogated by my Qin General Meng Wu. The evidence is the Korean swords outside the palace."

The eunuch took a few quick steps, took the confession from Yao Jia's hand, and turned to hand it to King Han.

I've been busy with work these days and haven't been able to update my book regularly, but I suddenly realized that some of my friends are reading my book. I'm so happy. Thank you all for your patience in reading this book. After I'm done with my work these past few days, I'll get back to writing and try to update more every day.
