Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 87 I’m afraid you have some huge misunderstanding about what is good.

After returning home, Zhang Yuanqing carefully recalled the Qin attack on Chu in the 12th year of King Zheng of Qin.

At that time, King Zheng of Qin ordered General Xin Wu to lead troops from four counties to join forces with Wei to attack Chu.

Li Yuan, the prime minister of Chu, wrote a letter to Xin Wu.

After that, Xin Wu did not send troops to attack Chu. Seeing that Qin did not send troops, Wei naturally delayed it.

This attack on Chu ended in failure.

Today in the hall, General Xin Wu didn't look like a stupid person, so how come he was fooled by Li Yuan?

Zhang Yuanqing didn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Fortunately, the historical situation has changed. General Meng Ao is now guarding the border between Qin and Chu. I think the king will let General Meng Ao be the main general in this attack on Chu.

General Meng Ao should not be fooled by Li Yuan.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for achieving the "Show Your Talent" achievement. The system reward has been delivered. Please check it."

The sudden sound of the system startled Zhang Yuanqing.

"System, so sudden?"

"...The host is too timid."

Zhang Yuanqing was rejected by the system, but he was not angry. He opened the system backpack and found that there were also several books in it.

"History of Shipbuilding in China", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Golden Chamber", "Girl's Mirror", and "Thousand Golden Prescriptions".

"My goodness, the system's reward this time is too generous."

"These are all treasures."

"Host, don't act so ignorant. This system has many good things waiting for you to take them."

"System, do you think these medical books and doctors can help me recover?"

"...Host, don't think too much. You are fine now."

"..."

I'm afraid you have some huge misunderstanding about what's good!

"System, the material of these books is too advanced. Can they be replaced with modern Qin Dynasty materials? If that doesn't work, bamboo slips will also be fine."

"...Host, why are you so lazy? This system has taught you all the knowledge, but you even find it troublesome to copy it down."

"Given the host's daily idleness, the host's request is rejected."

"...Okay, I'll copy it. But what about these drawings? I can't even draw them like them."

Also, the pictures of those ships are too complicated. What if I make a mistake?

"Host, please solve it yourself."

……

Painting is not easy, Qingyuan sighed.

In the next few days, Zhang Yuanqing stayed in the study all day and began his own book copying project.

Since Fusu returned to Xianyang, he has been following Ying Zheng all day long, observing Ying Zheng's daily life.

"Fusu, why have you been following father around these days?"

Didn’t you always say “Mr., Mr.” before?

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu who was sitting on the side watching him handle government affairs and asked curiously.

Fusu put down the notes in his hand and said, "Father, this is the task that Master has given to Fusu."

"Master said that Fusu should observe his father carefully and think about the difference between him and others."

At this point, Fusu frowned, and Ying Zheng looked at him with amusement, "So what have you learned in the past few days?"

"Fusu has recorded everything that the king does every day, but the king handles government affairs every day, and Fusu really can't see any difference."

I'm afraid I can't complete the task assigned by the gentleman this time.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment before speaking, "In that case, you will accompany your father to court tomorrow and observe the difference between him and others."

"it is good."

Fusu was happy.

Next, Ying Zheng continued to handle government affairs, and Fusu continued to sit there and stare at Ying Zheng, occasionally writing something on the notebook.

Wei Guo

Dun Ruo rushed to Daliang on a fast horse to meet King Zeng of Wei.

"King of Wei, my great king has sent me here to jointly attack Chu."

"The King of Chu has evil ambitions and has stationed tens of thousands of troops on the border, preparing to attack Qin. How can our king tolerate this?"

"My king is well aware of the great talent and strategy of the King of Wei, so he has specially sent me to Wei to discuss with him the matter of a joint resistance against Chu."

"If Qin and Wei join forces to attack Chu, Chu will be unable to split its forces. The Chu army will be defeated, and the King of Wei will be able to achieve his goal of expanding his territory."

The King of Wei felt flattered, as if he had already seen the Wei army capture several cities.

"Is the King of Qin really willing to join forces with Wei to attack Chu?"

King Wei was tempted, but he was a little worried about King Qin's attitude.

Dun Ruo immediately promised: "We Qin people never lie, and my king also recognizes that the King of Wei is the same. That is why we dare to join forces with Wei to attack Chu."

"It would be best if Qin and Yan came quickly. Zhao attacked Yan and was defeated. To save Yan, our king sent troops to attack Zhao. Our Qin army suffered tens of thousands of casualties. Your Majesty also wants to save Yan. Now, our Qin wishes to establish friendly relations with Wei. The King of Wei can trust our Qin."

King Wei nodded, somewhat agreeing with Dun Ruo's words.

The Qin people were of unyielding character and never broke their word.

It is also a fact that Qin sent troops to attack Zhao last year to rescue Yan.

"That's very good. I also admire the King of Qin for keeping his word. In this case, Wei will join Qin in attacking Chu."

"Wei Zhan, order him to lead an army of 50,000 to cooperate with Qin in attacking Chu."

"promise."

When Dun Ruo saw that the matter was accomplished, he would wait until the court session ended and return to the post station, then write a letter and send it back to Xianyang immediately.

Inside Xianyang City, the person Zhao Gao sent to keep an eye on Changping Jun came hurriedly to report.

"Eunuch Zhao, I just discovered that a retainer from Lord Changping's residence has left Xianyang."

"Did you send someone to follow?"

Zhao Gao put down his chopsticks excitedly, stood up and almost overturned the table.

"He caught up. I sent three people to catch up with him. Then I hurried back to tell Eunuch Zhao."

"Well done, you did a great job. If you can find evidence of communication between Lord Changping and the State of Chu, you will all be rewarded."

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhao."

In the next few days, Zhao Gao waited for news day and night.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, someone knocked on Zhao Gao's door.

Soon, the door opened from the inside and the man walked in with something in his arms.

"Quickly go inform Eunuch Zhao."

"promise."

Not long after, Zhao Gao came hurriedly.

"I have met Eunuch Zhao."

"But is there any news?"

Zhao Gao interrupted him before he finished speaking.

The man quickly handed the box in his arms to Zhao Gao.

"This is the head of a guest from Lord Changping's residence."

"After the three of us chased this man out of Xianyang for four days, we were discovered by him and almost let him escape."

"It was only my companions who were with me that were killed by this man."

"This is the letter this person is carrying."

As he spoke, the man took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao quickly put down the box, opened the letter and read it carefully.

It turned out that this was a reply letter from Changping Jun to Xiong You.

The letter described in detail some recent events in Xianyang.

From the Mohists' invention of the waterwheel to Qin's preparation to ally with Wei to attack Chu.

"What is Changping Jun going to do?"

"These are not confidential matters."

After a long time, Zhao Gao couldn't figure it out and had to give up.

"Come here, bring the prepared things over."

Soon, a servant brought over a box. Zhao Gao took it and opened it.

Inside are golden cakes.

The man's eyes were wide open.

"You did a great job this time. This is your reward. Take it and divide it among yourselves."

"promise."
