Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

A few days later, Ying Zheng received news from Dun Ruo in Zhao State and was overjoyed. He stood in front of the map and looked at it for a long time, then wrote a letter and asked Shi Yi to pass it on to Nanyang.

Since the call for talents was issued, Zhang Yuanqing has met with many people who recommended themselves. Many of them have a high opinion of themselves, but he has not met many who are truly talented and willing to do practical work.

"My Lord, there's a man outside who calls himself Chen Lin and wants to see you."

"Let him come."

Zhang Yuanqing kept writing, and soon he heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

"Chen Yan meets Master Zhang."

"Sit down."

Zhang Yuanqing did not put down his pen and continued with what he was doing.

Chen Yan stood up and calmly found a place to sit down.

The temperature in the room was a bit high, and soon, Chen Yan's forehead was sweating.

Chen Yan calmly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the sweat off his face, and made it again.

There was nothing special about the furnishings in the room. The only difference was that there were a few more pots of charcoal fire than in other houses.

Looking at Zhang Yuanqing, it looked exactly as the rumors said. Most men these days have a wheat-colored complexion, which made Zhang Yuanqing's complexion appear excessively pale, almost sickly. Despite the high temperature in the room, he wore plenty of clothes and coughed occasionally.

Chen Yan looked at Zhang Yuanqing silently for a few seconds, then looked away.

After a while, Zhang Yuanqing finally put down his pen, organized what he had written, and walked over to sit in the first seat.

"Sorry for the waitting."

"It was just an unfortunate coincidence that someone came."

"Don't be so formal. Maybe we'll be colleagues in the future."

After the test just now, Zhang Yuanqing was still satisfied with Chen Li's performance.

Be well prepared in advance, don't get angry when you are treated coldly, be well-mannered, gentle and polite. Now it depends on your knowledge.

Zhang Yuanqing and Chen Yan were chatting happily in the room, and A Da was standing at the door listening and felt drowsy.

"Well, I have a few questions for you to answer."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuanqing stood up and took out a few questions he had just written.

Chen Yan took it, read the question, and looked up at Zhang Yuanqing.

"Just here."

"promise."

Chen Yu sat down, began to look at the questions carefully, and then thought quietly.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't disturb him. At this time, Er came over and whispered a few words, and Zhang Yuanqing walked out of the room.

"Wu Ke meets Master Zhang."

"Yue Ru greets Master Zhang."

"But it's finished?"

The room was a little cold, and Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help shivering.

"Yes."

"Then come on, you can go back today and come back tomorrow at noon."

"promise."

After Wu Ke and Yue Ruo left, Zhang Yuanqing immediately returned to his room. The warm air made his hairs relax. Er quickly poured medicinal tea for Zhang Yuanqing and pretended not to see Zhang Yuanqing's glare.

On this side, Zhang Yuanqing looked at the answers of Wu Ke and the others seriously, while on the other side, Chen Yan was concentrating on writing down what was in his mind.

After several days of busy work, Zhang Yuanqing finally selected the candidate, wrote a memorial and sent it to Xianyang at full speed.

Before receiving a reply, Zhang Yuanqing received a letter from the king.

After I finished reading it, I realized that the king had sent Dun Ruo to Zhao State.

"Historically, the next year, Zhao and Yan went to war, and Qin took the opportunity to capture several cities of Zhao."

"Now that Qin has advanced its attack on Han, and the king has asked Dun Ruo to buy Qin half a year of next year, I think he wants to destroy Han during this time."

"This is going to advance history by six years."

At the same time, Meng Ao, Heng Qian and Ning Teng also received letters from Ying Zheng, and the three of them began to discuss the strategy of attacking Han.

The two carriages hurried into Xinzheng and then separated again.

Zhang Mansion

"Father, how is Grandpa?"

Zhang Liang's face was full of fatigue, and his originally handsome features had dimmed a little.

"Your grandfather is resting. Come with your father to see him."

It was the first time that Zhang Sheng saw his son like this, and he felt both distressed and relieved.

Soon, the two came to the open room.

Zhang Kaidi, who had originally closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes excitedly when he heard his grandson's voice.

"Aweng!"

The tall figure was now lying on the bed, his face pale and lifeless. Zhang Liang threw himself on the open bed, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Liang has only been away for a few months, how come Aung has become like this?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa is sick. He'll be fine after some rest."

"It must be tiring to travel so fast. Go and take a rest."

"You are young, so don't tire yourself out."

Zhang Kai looked at Zhang Liang with tenderness and patted his shoulders a few times.

"He's become stronger, which shows his martial arts skills haven't fallen behind."

Zhang Liang forced a grin and said, "Aunt, I have never given up my martial arts and I practice every day."

"That's good, that's good. Go and get some rest. It's not too late to talk to Aung tomorrow."

"Okay, go and rest. Father is here."

"promise."

Zhang Liang looked at his grandfather, then at his father, and finally left the room.

Han Fei also returned to the King of Han's Palace.

At this time, the King of Han was stopping the newly acquired beauty to drink. The dancer had a graceful figure, and the King of Han was dazzled by the sight.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Fei has returned."

The eunuch came in and announced the news. The King of Han had no memory of his having a son named Fei at this time, so he waved his hand impatiently and asked him to leave.

"Sir, the king has important matters to attend to. You should come back tomorrow."

Han Fei glanced at the eunuch and turned to leave.

The replica also received the news of Zhang Liang and Han Fei's return as soon as possible. They wrote a letter and gave it to a soldier to take it to Nanyang as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing was lying on the recliner that A'er had just made. Qingque brought a blanket to cover him and rocked him gently, feeling so comfortable.

"gentlemen."

Fusu walked in, followed by Li Xin.

"Sir, please take a seat. The doctor-in-chief should also take a seat."

As soon as Li Xin came in, he couldn't stand the heat. These days, unless it was necessary, he would never stay in the same room with Zhang Yuanqing, not for any other reason, but because it was too hot and he couldn't stand it.

"Ada, quickly take the handkerchief and wipe the sweat off the doctor's face."

Zhang Yuanqing also understood, looked at Li Xin with amusement, then turned to look at Fusu.

Fusu, who had just finished practicing martial arts, was also sweating profusely at this time, "Get another handkerchief and wipe it for the young master as well."

Seeing the gentleman laughing heartily, Fusu knew that the gentleman's bad taste had come back again, so he wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly changed the subject.

"Sir, what's the matter with calling Fusu here?"

"Of course it's something important."

Upon hearing this, Fusu sat up straight with a serious expression, regretting that he did not bring his notebook with him.

"Starting tomorrow, you and Li Xin will go to see General Meng Ao. You will sit in on the military discussions between the generals."

"Of course, you can also prepare your little notebook. If you don't understand something, write it down and read it several times. If you still don't understand, ask the generals."

"Pack some clothes and stay with General Meng Ao for the next few days. Li Xin will follow you."

Although he didn't understand why the master made such arrangements, he knew that the master must be doing it for his own good, so Fusu didn't ask any more questions.

"Fusu will study hard under General Meng Ao."

In contrast, Li Xin was much more excited.

The young master studied under General Meng Ao, and if I follow the young master, then wouldn’t I also be able to learn from General Meng Ao!
