Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

"Now that the King of Han is dead and the Kingdom of Han is destroyed, if you return to Qin, my king will naturally spare your lives."

Meng Ao sat on his horse, looking down at Han Chen who was trying to stop the chariot with his bare hands.

The one standing in the first place should be Zhang Sheng.

He had heard before that the father and son had fainted from anger at Yao Jia Shangqing.

"Don't humiliate us, you thief."

Zhang Sheng pointed his sword at Meng Ao, wishing he could kill him with one blow.

"We are all Han officials. How could we surrender to Qin?"

"That's right. The Qin thieves humiliate our Han State. We would rather die than surrender."

Meng Ao was furious: "Kill him."

The sound of fighting reached the palace of King Han, and Han Chen's blood dyed the gate of the palace red.

When everything was over, Meng Ao ordered Ma Xing to lead people to surround the entire Han Palace.

Meng Ao placed the bodies of those ministers at the gate of King Han's palace, waiting for their families to claim them.

Han Wangan's funeral was arranged by his son.

Meng Ao began to write a victory report and send it back to Xianyang.

Zhang Yuanqing had just received a copied letter saying that King Han An had passed away, and then the news of the great victory in Xinzheng also arrived.

"I didn't expect South Korea to be defeated so quickly."

Zhang Yuanqing sighed.

"Sir, isn't it good for South Korea to lose?"

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Fusu and said, "Of course it's good. It's a great joy for our Qin State."

Putting away the inexplicable emotion in his heart, Zhang Yuanqing asked Fusu again: "Sir, please tell me why the Kingdom of Han was defeated so quickly."

Sir, this time Fusu will not be stumped. "Sir, Fusu feels that there are three reasons. First, General Ning Teng of Han surrendered to Qin. General Ning Teng is familiar with Han generals. Knowing both oneself and the enemy, he will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Moreover, the Han army is not as brave as our Qin army. Our Qin army will naturally defeat the Han army. Second, the King of Han forcibly recruited soldiers and collected grain. The people of Han are complaining, and the morale of the army and the people is unstable. Third, that is because Han has no great talents like you to help. Sir, am I right?" After speaking, Fusu blinked and looked at Zhang Yuanqing.

Zhang Yuanqing chuckled: "You, you've also learned to flatter me."

"Go discuss this with Li Xin, then ask Minister Yao Jia about this issue. Then think carefully about it yourself. When you have a conclusion, write it down and send it back to Xianyang for the king."

"promise."

After Fusu left, he took his little notebook and went to find Li Xin.

"Master, our people are back."

Ever since Xinzheng was conquered, Fu Ke has been waiting for two pieces of news: "Let them in quickly."

"Master, please have a few of us keep an eye on the Zhang Mansion. Zhang Liang from the Zhang Mansion was just taken away. They are so numerous that I have no choice but to return and report."

"Zhang Liang escaped?"

"Yes, I saw Zhang Liang being carried out of the Zhang Mansion."

"Do you know where he went?"

"Yes, I followed them to a house, and Zhang Liang was taken inside."

"Come on, take me there."

Without wasting a moment, he hurried away with his men.

"Quick, call someone, we can't let Zhang Liang get away."

The replica was fast, but the servants of the Zhang Mansion were also fast. When the replica arrived with his men, the house was already deserted.

"What can we do!"

Fu Ke hurried back, wrote a letter, and asked someone to deliver it to Zhang Yuanqing immediately.

The soldiers guarding the city had now been replaced by Qin troops. After the man revealed his identity, he was naturally not stopped and quickly left the city.

Here, the dubbed soldiers had people keep an eye on King Han’s palace. Zhang Liang had already escaped, and Han Fei couldn’t run away again.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't say anything after receiving the news, but only sighed that Zhang Liang was still lucky.

In history, several assassination attempts on Qin Shi Huang were successful and he escaped, and now he has escaped in Xinzheng again.

"Could it be that Heaven is especially kind to Zhang Liang?"

Zhang Yuanqing decided not to think about things he couldn't figure out, as he still had a lot of things to do in Nanyang.

Zhangtai Palace

The three dukes and nine ministers were urgently summoned by Ying Zheng.

Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng was full of majesty and all the ministers came to pay homage to him.

"Meet the king."

"Please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"This is the victory report just sent back by General Meng Ao. Please take a look, everyone."

Wei Zhuang and Changping Jun received the victory report, but after a moment, Wei Zhuang snatched it away, pushed Changping Jun aside, and read it word by word over and over again. The ministers behind him were curious to see the two prime ministers like this.

But after waiting for a long time, Wei Zhuang showed no intention of passing the document down for review. One of the generals could not wait any longer and stepped forward, saying, "Prime Minister, let me have a look too."

As he said this, he carefully took the victory report from Wei Zhuang's hand.

The other generals rushed forward and surrounded them.

Soon, someone burst into laughter.

The civil officials were even more curious. Li Si stepped forward and said, "Could you please finish reading and let me see it?"

The man did not refuse and handed it to Li Si.

In an instant, Li Si was also surrounded by the crowd.

"Your Majesty? Is this true?" Wei Zhuang felt it was a little unreal.

"General Meng Ao destroyed Han so quickly?"

"Prime Minister, what are you doing? How could my father lie about his achievements just to gain military merit?"

When Meng Wu heard this, he looked at Wei Zhuang angrily, as if this matter would not be over unless he explained it clearly.

Wei Zhuang also realized that his words were wrong and quickly explained: "General Meng Wu, don't worry. I used the wrong words. It's really that the Han Kingdom was destroyed too quickly. It's hard to believe."

"But I absolutely do not mean to distrust General Meng Ao. Please forgive me, please forgive me."

Meng Wu saw that Wei was sincere and had no other intentions, so he sat down.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, looking down at the ministers and taking in everyone's reactions.

"Okay, have you seen it all?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"God bless the king, God bless the Qin Kingdom."

"God bless the king, God bless the Qin Kingdom."

Qin first destroyed one country, and the ministers were naturally happy and came forward to congratulate it.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"This time, we will annihilate Han and reward those who have made contributions according to their merits. Even Minister Yao Jia will be rewarded."

"The king is wise."

"Now that Han has been destroyed, who should be sent to govern Han? Do you have any suitable candidates?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is in Nanyang, and Nanyang belonged to the former Kingdom of Han. Why not let Lord Zhang continue to govern Xinzheng and other places?"

Li Si suggested with a bow.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with satisfaction.

Li Qing is really understanding my intentions more and more.

Zhang Qing governed Nanyang very well, and it was also close to Xinzheng, so there was no need to travel back and forth, which was indeed suitable.

"Your Majesty, why don't you send a few more officials to assist Lord Zhang?"

Wei Zhuang proposed.

"allow"

Once the Han area is well governed, Zhang Qing will naturally be recalled, so it would be a good idea to send a few people in advance.

After the court session, the King of Qin summoned his men to leave Xianyang and quickly travel all the way to Nanyang.

After receiving the king's summons, Zhang Yuanqing made arrangements for Nanyang. Chen Yan, Wu Ke, Yue Ruo, and others were capable, and Zhang Yuanqing felt relieved to leave Nanyang to them. Two days later, he took Fusu and several other talented people he had previously considered valuable and headed for Xinzheng.

"Sir, where are we going to stay after we get to Xinzheng?"

"General Meng Ao should have already arranged accommodation."

"Then can Fusu go to the Han Palace to take a look?"

"Why, are you still curious about the Han Palace?"

"Not really, I just want to see how it compares to the Xianyang Palace."

"Haha, then let Li Xin follow you and go see for yourself."
