Can I say no?

"Young Master, please come in."

Fusu, who didn't know that he was being disliked, walked in, followed by Li Xin.

When he saw Fusu come in, he took out the small notebook, and Meng Ao felt his hand shaking again.

Helplessly, Meng Ao quickly put away his sword, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked the guards to prepare another pot for him.

General Meng Ao's teaching began.

It's time for Prince Fusu to ask questions.

"General, yesterday you said that knowing both yourself and the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. So, can you please…"

"Sir, this requires..."

The two of them were very engaged in the conversation, asking and answering each other, and Li Xin was also fascinated by what he was saying.

If the situation did not allow it, he would also like to take a small notebook and write it down like the young master, and figure it out himself later.

But after all, I am not a young master, so I cannot be so presumptuous.

"General, a letter from Xianyang."

When the guard's voice came, Meng Ao did not pause his explanation until he finished speaking.

"Young Master is very smart and can understand things quickly." Although Meng Ao was helpless because the Young Master asked too many questions, he had been teaching him wholeheartedly these days. It would be better if the Young Master could ask fewer tricky questions.

"Sir, I have something important to attend to. General Hengqian is free at the moment. If you still have questions, why not ask General Hengqian first?"

"General Hengqian's methods of deploying troops are slightly different from mine. Young Master, you can follow his lead and learn from him for a few days. I'm sure you'll gain a lot."

While Meng Ao's words were selfish, they were also pertinent. Heng Qian was indeed a rare military talent.

He looked at Li Xin behind Fusu.

This kid is lucky. He has learned a lot from following the young master these days.

"Since the general is busy, Fusu will not disturb me any longer. Thank you for clearing up my doubts today. I have benefited a lot from it. Fusu will take his leave."

After the two left, Meng Ao breathed a sigh of relief.

Then let someone in.

I took the letter. It was nothing important, just a letter from home.

Thinking of his son Meng Wu, Meng Ao opened the letter and read it carefully.

Xinzheng

Since the day when King Han came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Kaidi submitted a petition to resign from the post of Prime Minister. Three days later, King Han agreed and appointed Zhang Sheng as Prime Minister of Han.

For a time, Zhang's house was crowded with people.

"Your Majesty, the Qin army is currently stationed in Nanyang. Your Majesty should dispatch your generals to meet the enemy."

This was the first time King Han attended court since the former prime minister fell ill.

Now that Han was facing life and death, Zhao was unwilling to send troops to help, claiming that Han had acted unjustly first and that Qin was attacking Han to seek justice, so they would not help Han.

Apart from being willing to sell grain to South Korea, the State of Wei has been slow to take any other action. Now, South Korea can only rely on itself.

But the king is still seeking pleasure all day long, and many court officials have been so anxious that their mouths are bubbling with anxiety these days.

Today, the king finally came to court, and the court officials submitted memorials one after another.

King Han finally realized the seriousness of the matter and looked at Zhang Sheng.

As this was his first morning court session since taking office as prime minister, Zhang Sheng was fully prepared.

He immediately spoke, "Your Majesty, I believe that Han should now take the initiative to apologize to the King of Qin. You were unaware of the assassination; a thief misrepresented your order. As for the assassination of the Qin envoy, it was an act of revenge after the thief escaped back to Han. Your Majesty was deceived. Now that the truth has been revealed, Your Majesty is willing to compensate the King of Qin with treasures and money, and to send a prince to Qin as a hostage."

"How could the King of Qin believe that? Furthermore, you said a thief misrepresented the king's orders. Where is that thief now?"

"The thief has been captured and is now outside the palace."

When King Han saw that there was a solution, he immediately ordered someone to bring the thief to the palace.

This person was the one who escaped from Meng Wu that day.

After escaping from Xianyang City with great difficulty, they returned to Han State. Just as they were about to report the matter to Zhang Kaidi, the Qin envoy entered Han State. Then there was news that the envoy was assassinated. After that, Qin attacked Han State, and the reason was that the Qin Shangqing was assassinated by Han State. Now the two of them dared not show up.

He originally planned to flee to another country after a while, but he was found by Zhang Sheng's men.

"Your Majesty, these two were the ones who assassinated Zhang Yuanqing of Qin. They fled back to Han. My father, after becoming seriously ill, remembered this and ordered me to send people to search for them. This is how they were found."

The King of Han was delighted and said, "Okay, send them to the King of Qin."

"But who will Proton send?"

Thinking of his beloved children, King Han felt reluctant to leave.

Zhang Sheng naturally understood the King of Han's intentions. "Your Majesty, Prince Fei is not only exceptionally intelligent and knowledgeable, but he is also your beloved youngest son. You can send him to Qin as a hostage."

When the King of Han heard this, he thought, "That's right, Han Fei is capable," and agreed immediately.

"Then I'll leave this matter to the Prime Minister."

"promise."

After leaving court, Zhang Sheng immediately imprisoned the two assassins and ordered his men to keep a strict watch on them, ensuring that no mistakes were made.

At the same time, someone informed Han Fei, who had just returned, and the king ordered him to go to Qin as a hostage.

Han Fei was studying a book when he received the news. Suddenly, he heard the eunuch's words and staggered a few steps, almost falling.

"Han Fei obeys."

The eunuch shook his head and left quickly. Alas, Young Master Fei also had a miserable life.

Zhangtai Palace

"The King of Han sent a hostage to Qin to seek peace. What do you think, my Lords?"

When Ying Zheng received the news today, he summoned the ministers to the court to discuss state affairs.

Han's move was neither right nor wrong for Qin.

The court officials looked at each other, and no one had any good ideas for the time being.

"Your Majesty, the King of Han said they found the assassin, but he was unaware of this. I believe otherwise." Seeing no one speak, Li Si thought for a moment and said, "Who is that assassin? He is just an unknown person. How could he be so bold as to assassinate in Xianyang? He must have been instructed by someone. Now, the King of Han does not mention the person who instructed him, but only says that the assassin acted on his own. His attitude is perfunctory. How can Your Majesty agree to this?"

"In my opinion, we should send envoys to Han to rebuke the King of Han."

Li Si did not mention the matter of South Korea sending a hostage to Qin, but only talked about the assassin. After hearing this, the King of Qin could not help but nodded.

You understand me.

"Your Majesty, why not send Lord Zhang as an envoy to Han?" Changping Jun, noting that many officials agreed with Li Si's suggestion, stepped forward and recommended him. "Lord Zhang is exceptionally talented and lives in Nanyang. He can reach Xinzheng in just a few days. If Your Majesty sends someone else from the court, the journey will be long and likely delay the mission."

"Master Zhang still has to govern Nanyang, so how can he go to Xinzheng? It's inappropriate."

"You can also send Yao Jia. Yao Jia is also in Nanyang now, and it was Yao Jia who was the Shangqing when he was sent as an envoy to Han State before." Changping Jun saw that some people opposed it, but he was not in a hurry and quickly recommended Yao Jia again.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be wise to send Yao Jia as an envoy to Han."

"I second the proposal."

Ying Zheng naturally would not object, and immediately summoned Yao Jia to go as an envoy to the Kingdom of Han to rebuke the King of Han.

After the court session, the ministers left Zhangtai Palace one by one. Li Si lagged behind by a few steps and walked together with Wei Zhuang.

Looking at the back of Changping Jun Xiong Qi as he left, Li Si murmured a few words: "Could it be that Brother Zhang has offended Changping Jun in some way?" Then he shook his head and left quickly.

Wei Zhuang naturally heard Li Si's mumbling, and paused as he watched Xiong Qi leaving, then left.
