Chapter 579 Outsourcing

As everyone knew that Prince Fusu of Qin's saying, "The way of Qin is the way of the king," along with the golden light, spread throughout the world, Xunzi's saying, "Qin should rule the world," was also widely circulated among the people.

Inside the palaces of the six kingdoms, the reigning monarchs could not help but feel disappointed, for it had finally come to this.

Han Wang'an: "It has finally come to this..."

South Korea was in a weak position. It had been constantly ceding territory and making concessions. Didn't it know that this was wrong? But it had no choice. It just wanted South Korea to live a little longer, and a little longer.

But it still came to this point.

The land and society built by our ancestors could not be preserved in the end.

The King of Zhao, believing slanderous words and being incompetent and foolish, was already terrified and was determined to submit to preserve his wealth and status.

The King of Wei was mediocre and knew that his country's strength was insufficient to withstand the Qin's attack, so he stopped struggling.

The King of Chu was willing but powerless; the country was politically corrupt and rife with factions. Surrender was his only option to ensure his safety.

The King of Yan was ambitious, but the state of Yan was too weak. After much deliberation, for the sake of the people of Yan, he chose to submit.

The King of Qi didn't need to think much; ever since Xunzi's words spread, the State of Qi had been swept up by the scholars and had no choice but to submit.

In short, given the prevailing trend, Qin was able to subdue the enemy without fighting, and its pace of unification accelerated rapidly. The surrender letters from the six states were already being delivered to Qin at breakneck speed.

"The letters from the six kingdoms have been placed in the golden cabinets as instructed by the king."

Li Si respectfully replied that although he was the Minister of Justice, Lü Buwei clearly intended to retire. Therefore, although Li Si no longer held the title of Chancellor, he had taken on most of the duties of a Chancellor.

Ying Zheng tapped his long fingers on the table, seemingly saying casually, "Let's hold a ceremony to mark the submission of the six states. Fusu wants to see an interesting scene."

An interesting scene?

Li Si was taken aback and was about to ask a question when the King of Qin stopped him in his tracks: "Lü Buwei intends to resign, and I have granted his request."

Ying Zheng left it at that, and Li Si clearly understood his meaning.

Having said all that, how could he possibly refuse?

"Your subject will certainly devote all his energy and efforts to fulfilling Your Majesty's command."

But what exactly makes a scene interesting?

"Knock knock"

Han Fei looked up at Li Si in front of him and asked, "Are you very free?"

"The surrender documents from the six kingdoms have been sent, and today the king summoned me and explained the subsequent arrangements."

Seeing Li Si's serious expression, Han Fei sat up slightly and pretended to listen attentively.

"The submission of six states is no small matter... I intend to involve you in the submission ceremony."

Just as Han Fei showed a hint of doubt, Li Si added, "Prime Minister Lü wants to resign, and His Majesty has granted his request."

Han Fei's expression changed immediately. He looked at Li Si and widened his eyes slightly. Li Si nodded, looking extremely serious.

"So, what you want to do?"

“We are, after all, fellow disciples. I intend to let you take over the position of Minister of Justice, but you are, after all, from the state of Han…”

Li Si left it at that, but Han Fei understood. This was an opportunity for Han Fei to accumulate merit and prove his loyalty by taking advantage of the six states' submission.

Knowing Li Si's good intentions, Han Fei didn't refuse and said, "Alright, I'll take care of it."

"Then it's up to you." Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing a smile. "Tell me if you need anything."

"Don't worry, I won't hold back."

Li Si smiled with satisfaction, discussed some specific details with Han Fei, and then got up to leave. He stopped abruptly as he walked out the door, as if just remembering something, and turned back to say, "Oh, right, I forgot to mention, the eldest young master wants to see some interesting scenes, so please pay attention."

"Young Master? Interesting..."

Han Fei stared blankly at Li Si's departing figure for three seconds, then, realizing what was happening, couldn't help but roar, "Li Si!"

At night, Zhang Liang, who had just returned from Xianyang Palace, paused as he entered his room, then went out to take another look.

"What are you looking at? Come in quickly, we're waiting for you to have your meal."

Han Fei waved to him with a smile.

Zhang Liang walked in hesitantly, looked at the large amount of fish and meat on the table, as well as the exquisite pastries, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, you finally couldn't resist embezzling?"

Han Fei tapped his head with his chopsticks in an annoyed tone: "Who embezzled? Your master is a nobleman, after all! A nobleman!"

Zhang Liang awkwardly sat down at the table, seemingly lost in thought: "So, sir, you couldn't resist beating up your senior brother, and you were just too happy?"

"What kind of image do I have in your eyes?" Han Fei asked speechlessly. "Eat or not? If you're not going to eat, then leave!"

Han Fei was angry, but Zhang Liang was relieved. "That's much more normal now."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and began to enjoy the food without any hesitation: "Since you have prepared so carefully, Zifang cannot let you down."

Han Fei rolled her eyes, angrily picked up a piece of beef and put it in his bowl: "Eat yours!"

Zhang Liang ate happily, and Han Fei didn't say much. The two quietly enjoyed the meal.

Then, as Zhang Liang savored dessert, Han Fei sighed and suddenly spoke, "Zifang..."

Zhang Liang paused, his hand holding the pastries still, and couldn't help but murmur, "Is it too late for me to vomit up now?"

"It's too late," Han Fei said, pressing down on his body as he tried to escape. "Zifang, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, please listen to me."

Zhang Liang tried to move, but found he couldn't shake off Han Fei's hand on his shoulder. He looked at him speechlessly and said, "I can't leave even if I don't listen."

Han Fei pretended not to notice his reluctance and changed Li Si's words to tell Zhang Liang: "In short, this matter concerns my promotion, so I would like to ask you, Zifang, to take a look."

Zhang Liang looked at him suspiciously, while Han Fei tried his best to remain serious.

"You got tricked by your senior apprentice again?"

Zhang Liang suddenly spoke up, and Han Fei lost control of his expression for a moment, giving himself away. He covered his face in frustration and sighed, "Zifang, let's save some face for the master."

Zhang Liang showed no mercy and continued his analysis: "It sounds fine, but you must have omitted a very crucial part, and this is the part where my senior brother tricked you, and you're now trying to trick me."

"So, it's related to the eldest son, isn't it?"

Han Fei lowered his hand, looking at Zhang Liang with a mixture of guilt and pride: "You guessed too accurately."

When Fusu was mentioned, Zhang Liang got up to leave, but Han Fei stopped him, saying, "Don't rush, the master isn't asking you to do anything bad!"

Seeing that Zhang Liang remained unmoved, Han Fei quickly called out, "It's the eldest son! It's the eldest son who wants to see!"

"Um?"

Zhang Liang hesitated and turned back. Han Fei gave him a disapproving look and said, "You get all excited when you say 'Young Master,' huh? You traitor!"

“Young Master wants to see an interesting scene, and I’m not sure what he’s thinking. That’s why I’m asking you to think about it. You’re with Young Master every day, so you two are closer.”

Zhang Liang struggled to suppress the smirk from his lips: "Indeed, I have a good relationship with the eldest son... cough cough... but, this matter..."

"Are you willing to disappoint the eldest son?"

Han Fei's words completely controlled Zhang Liang, who pondered for a moment before saying, "Let me think about it."
