I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over

Yesterday evening, His Majesty suddenly summoned him and asked him to find a way to persuade this man to surrender.

He was very surprised at that time.

He and Zhang Liangsu were not acquainted with each other, and he was in charge of the Ministry of Grain and Internal Affairs, which had nothing to do with interrogation and persuasion. He really couldn't understand why His Majesty chose him to go.

However, since His Majesty has given an order, he will naturally obey it.

What's more, if this matter is accomplished, it will only make a deeper impression on His Majesty.

why not?

That was why he specially retrieved the information of these assassins, studied it carefully, and then chose to come now.

"Haha, you don't recognize me. I'm Xiao He from Pei County, and I'm currently serving as the Chief Clerk of Grain Administration."

"Grain Control Officer?" Zhang Liang pondered. "Why would someone in charge of grain come looking for a traitor like me?"

Xiao He did not answer, but instead followed Zhang Liang's words and praised him, "Oh? You seem to understand my position very well."

"Tsk..." Zhang Liang sneered, "Why? Didn't you read my confession before coming here?"

"Of course I have seen it. Zhang Liang, the descendant of the Prime Minister of the old Han Dynasty, is well-deserved of his reputation."

After Xiao He finished speaking, he politely bowed to Zhang Liang.

Just at this moment, the jailer brought a chair over and asked Xiao He to sit down and question him.

Xiao He lowered his eyes to look at the embarrassed Zhang Liang in the cell, and smiled, "Bring a table and chairs, the young master and I will sit down and talk."

The jailer looked at Zhang Liang, then at Xiao He, then bowed and left.

Soon, the table and chairs were put in place, and Xiao He and Zhang Liang sat opposite each other. There was also some hot tea and snacks on the table.

Xiao He held the teapot and slowly poured tea for Zhang Liang, his expression always gentle.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Zhang Liang sneered, breaking the silence in the cell.

"Tell me, what are you doing here? You can't be here to laugh at me, a dying man."

Xiao He shook his head, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. "That's no joke at all. I'm also baffled as to why His Majesty would send me here."

His eyes were full of confusion, and his bewildered expression didn't seem fake.

Zhang Liang slowly raised his head, his eyebrows slightly raised, "What does Ying Zheng ask you to do?"

"Hu..." Xiao He took a long breath, speaking slowly and clearly, "Your Majesty originally wanted to hang your body for public display."

Zhang Liang sneered and didn't care.

Xiao He ignored him, but instead bowed respectfully towards the front yard and continued, "However, the Emperor values ​​talent and has stated that you have the potential to govern the world. I beg His Majesty to spare your life, and for this, I have even caused His Majesty to lose his temper."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's eyes widened suddenly. His once bright pupils were now bloodshot. He stared coldly at Xiao He, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Ha, ha ha? That's ridiculous. Who are you talking about? Yue Hua?"

The image of the other party's shocked eyes when the sword stabbed out flashed through his mind.

There was no fear or desire in those eyes, as if she were an innocent child. Seeing the long sword stabbing at her, she just looked at it in disbelief, as if wondering why someone would kill her.

Why didn't anyone kill her?

Why would she wonder?

Among so many anti-Qin heroes, who wouldn't want to kill her?

"Hahaha, what good will it do her to keep me? Is she so fearless of death? Isn't she afraid that the first thing I will do when I get out is to kill her again?" Zhang Liang laughed loudly towards the sky, and his laughter echoed in the cell, revealing endless sarcasm and a bit of sadness.

"Foolish, foolish! Such a woman's kindness!"

Xiao He frowned slightly, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes: "Don't be rude, how dare you slander the emperor like this?!"

This was the first time he had frowned and shouted at the other person since he entered the cell.

"The Emperor is wholeheartedly devoted to the people and has devoted all his energy to the great Qin. His heart is as clear as the moon. How can you villains interfere with his words?"

"Why can't I scold her? Not only will I scold her, I will also scold Ying Zheng and the Qin people!" Zhang Liang glared at her and refuted loudly.

"Ying Zheng was brutal and cruel, his tyranny was fiercer than a tiger. He engaged in massive construction projects, wasting the people's wealth and resources, and with his overbearing ambition, he invaded the six kingdoms. Countless people lost their homes and became homeless. I assassinated such a tyrant for the sake of the people of the world! Ahem!"

He was furious, ignoring the choking cough, and continued to curse, "That Yuehua doesn't distinguish right from wrong, colluding with the tyrant and helping him to commit atrocities. One day he will be spurned by the people."

Zhang Liang cursed so hard that his face turned red and saliva flew everywhere.

Xiao He didn't tolerate him either. He slapped him hard, stood up from his chair, and angrily scolded him, "You selfish, stubborn traitor!"

He pointed at Zhang Liang and cursed bitterly, "You're talking about doing this for the benefit of the people of the world, but you're just feeling resentful and unwilling because you've fallen from the clouds!"

Zhang Liang immediately retorted, "Yes, I am indignant and unwilling to accept this. I just hate Ying Zheng. What's wrong with that? My Zhang family has been prime ministers for five generations. We are such a noble family. But because of Ying Zheng's ambition, our country was destroyed and our family was ruined. What's wrong with me hating him?!"

"Hahaha~hahaha!" Xiao He laughed.

Zhang Liang was enraged by his laughter. He stood up even more agitated and confronted Xiao He, "What are you laughing at? What did I say wrong?"

"Hahaha, I laugh at your ignorance, your selfishness, and your fear of facing reality."

Without giving Zhang Liang a chance to speak, Xiao He looked at him sarcastically, "Your Zhang family served as prime ministers for five generations of the old Han Dynasty. What? Are you so proud? The King of Han trusted your Zhang family so much. How did your Zhang family do it?"

He sat back in his chair, a mocking smile on his face.

"The nobles are vying for power, the officials are corrupt and incompetent, and they've even proposed giving Shangdang to the State of Zhao to buy some respite. Is this the country your Zhang family governs as prime minister? And what about the five generations of prime ministers? Were the latter appointed by the King of Han? Or was it your Zhang family's power that forced the King of Han to accept his fate?"

He chuckled and turned his eyes away in disgust, no longer looking at Zhang Liang. "The Emperor also said that you have the ability to rule the world. Haha... I hope the Emperor is wrong this time. Otherwise, I'm really worried that you can't live up to such praise."

"You! How can this be!" Zhang Liang was furious, and his fingers were shaking as he pointed at Xiao He.

Xiao He continued.

"If it's truly for the benefit of the people, then why don't you look at how the world is now united and the people are living and working in peace and contentment? Your Majesty has been reducing taxes year after year, building roads and bridges, and giving the people a break. Now, you're even looking over your shoulder at the nation, selecting talents through the imperial examinations. Which of these actions isn't typical of a wise ruler in a prosperous era? Why don't you say anything? I guess you're afraid to look, afraid to admit it, right?"

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, with a hint of struggle in his eyes, but he quickly became firm again.

He looked Xiao He straight in the eye and spoke slowly, "Don't say that. When Han was destroyed, I swore to eliminate the tyrant Ying Zheng and avenge my grievances. Life and death are determined by fate, and I, Zhang Liang, have a clear conscience. Go now. I won't change my mind."
