Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 54: You're Going to Cause Trouble to Me

Shi Yi hurried to Zhang's house and met Zhang Yuanqing in the study.

"You said the king summoned me to court?"

"Yes, sir, please follow me quickly, the king is waiting."

Shi Yi didn't dare to say anything extra and could only carefully urge Zhang Yuanqing.

"Okay, let me put on my court robes."

Zhangtai Palace

"Meet the king."

"Zhang Qing, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Today, General Meng Ao has received victory news. Han General Ning Teng has defected to Qin, resulting in a great victory in Nanyang. Now that General Meng Ao has taken control of Nanyang, the court needs to send an official to govern Nanyang. Does Zhang Qing have a suitable candidate?"

That's it?

Zhang Yuanqing was confused.

Not to the point.

Would the king come to him specifically to ask about such a small matter?

Changping Jun waited until Ying Zheng finished speaking, then looked up at the king sitting on the throne.

"Your Majesty, I believe the court is full of talented people. You can send anyone."

The court officials have recommended different candidates, making it difficult for the king to make a decision?

Not that much.

Since when has the king been able to be controlled by his subjects?

"However, I do have a suitable candidate here."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Changping Jun Xiong Qi.

"I think Lord Changping is the most suitable person."

Li Si: Did Shi Yi reveal the information to you?

Ying Zheng subconsciously glanced in the direction of Shi Yi, who fell to his knees with his body pressed against the ground, cold sweat pouring out of his back.

After just one glance, Ying Zheng retracted his gaze and looked at Xiong Qi: "What do you think, Left Prime Minister?"

The court officials all looked at Xiong Qi, waiting for his answer.

Xiong Qi seemed not to notice the subtlety of the atmosphere.

"If Your Majesty wishes me to go to Nanyang, I am naturally willing. However, I believe that my abilities are inferior to those of Lord Zhang. I believe it is safer for Lord Zhang to go than for me."

When did I offend Xiong Qi?

Zhang Yuanqing's first reaction was self-reflection.

After thinking about it, he couldn't remember having any conflict with the Left Prime Minister.

You're just trying to cause trouble for me!

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Xiong Qi carefully, but couldn't see anything.

Could it be that Xiong Qi had some little thoughts at this time that no one else knew about?

Ying Zheng's eyes swept over Xiong Qi and Zhang Yuanqing one by one.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Nanyang."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Yuanqing standing in the hall in surprise.

Zhang Qing

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." Zhang Yuanqing raised his head, his eyes firm, "Please allow me, Your Majesty."

Xiong Qi: ???

Ministers: Are you trying to kill yourself?

Wei Zhuang said anxiously: "Master Zhang, you..."

"Prime Minister, I'm afraid everyone has already discussed this before I came. If a decision hasn't been made yet, it must be because there's no suitable candidate. I, a humble person, am willing to share your worries."

"Your Majesty, I would like to take one more person with me when I go to Nanyang. Please grant me your permission."

"Mr. Zhang, the journey to Nanyang is bumpy. Mr. Zhang, please recommend someone else to go."

After much deliberation, Ying Zheng decided not to let Zhang Yuanqing go.

As expected, the king is so partial.

Although the ministers did not agree with Zhang Yuanqing going, they couldn't help but feel jealous when they heard the king's favoritism.

Your Majesty wants me to go to Nanyang.

Xiong Qi looked again at the man who looked pale and coughed from time to time.

He was thinking a lot, but his face showed no sign of it.

"Big"

"Your Majesty, I recommend myself. I feel there is no one more suitable than me. Your Majesty, rest assured. When I arrive in Nanyang, I will definitely govern Nanyang for you and prepare for your future attack on Han."

Xiong Qi's words were stuck in his throat, and he glared at Zhang Yuanqing fiercely.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is truly loyal to you, and I admire him."

Zhang Yuanqing ignored Xiong Qi's glare and looked at him cheerfully, "Prime Minister Zuo, you are too kind. Your loyalty to the State of Qin and to the King is as bright as the sun and the moon."

Ying Zheng was amused when he saw the two people who were about to flatter each other.

"Can Zhang Qing's body withstand the hardship of traveling?"

Ministers: Your Majesty’s question is very tactful.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am in good health and can easily help you with your worries for a few more decades."

Zhang Yuanqing puffed out his chest confidently. If he hadn't had any muscles in his arms and the occasion wasn't right, he would have probably flexed his muscles to show how strong he was.

I don’t ask for much. If you can live to forty and share my worries for another twenty years, I will be satisfied.

After the court session, Zhang Yuanqing hurried back to pack up and set off the next day.

A Da and A Er were so worried that they went to find the obstetrician immediately.

Qingque began to pack the clothes that Zhang Yuanqing would need for going out.

You need to bring a few more quilts and put a few more quilts on the carriage.

I also need to bring the medicine furnace, clothes, and the books that the Marquis likes to read...

Qingque had several large boxes brought in, and even after they were filled to the brim, they still felt like they were not enough.

"Your Majesty, Prince Fusu is instructing his men to pack their belongings, saying that he is going to Nanyang with Lord Zhang."

As soon as Shi Yiyi got the news, he hurried to report it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng put down the map in his hand and said, "Nonsense, what is he going to do?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that it was Master Zhang who asked Master Fusu to follow."

"Zhang Qing? What help can a child like Fusu bring?"

"Go, call Fusu."

"promise"

"Father, why did you come to see me?"

I still have a lot of things to pack, and my father has a lot to do.

"Why did you follow Zhang Qing to Nanyang?"

Recently, the relationship with Fusu has become much more harmonious, and Ying Zheng speaks with less dignity. If it were in the past, he would definitely scold him first.

"Father, I will follow you to learn how to govern the people."

Speaking of this, Fusu's face showed longing.

"Father, the teacher said that Fusu should not only study, but also understand the lives of the people. This time, the teacher brought Fusu with him, probably because he wanted Fusu to see the lives of the people with his own eyes and understand their difficulties."

"Father, you don't want me to go, do you?"

As he spoke, Fusu looked at Ying Zheng with disapproval on his face. His big dark eyes made Ying Zheng feel a little guilty.

"When did I stop you from going? It's just that you're still young. Zhang Qing can't even take care of himself, let alone you. Aren't you just causing trouble for Zhang Qing?"

Fusu was unhappy. How could his father look down on him like this? "Father, I don't need your care. I can take care of myself and I can take care of you, too."

The gentleman is even afraid of taking medicine. He is even more childish than Fusu.

"Father, I do not want to be a prince who is ignorant of the suffering of the people. I want to be the eldest son of the Qin State, with the world at heart. Please let me go with you."

Suddenly, Ying Zheng felt that his son had grown up a lot.

I used to be afraid of myself and did everything according to my own arrangements; now I have my own ideas and know how to take the initiative to fight for what I want.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu for a long time and said, "Okay, since this is what you want to do, then go ahead."

"You are my eldest son, the eldest prince of Qin. This is how it should be."
