Chapter 71: Ying Zheng's Talent



The sky began to brighten slightly.

Yesterday's meeting finally ended, and nothing unexpected happened.

Ying Zheng got up early today. He had slept a lot in the past two days and had no interest in reading today, so he got up and read some books.

"Your Majesty, General Wang Jian has arrived."

Ying Zheng looked up at the guard who had announced the news, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and said, "Let General Wang come in."

After saying that, he continued to look at the bamboo slips in his hand, waiting for Wang Jian's arrival.

After a while, Wang Jian was brought up, and Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at Wang Jian.

Wang Jian bowed and said, "I greet the Emperor."

Ying Zheng waved his hand. With his current status, he naturally didn't need to stand up to return the greeting and gain a reputation for being courteous to others.

Now he only needs to show his power and might, and he won't have to worry about anything else.

"General, is there something you need from me?" Ying Zheng asked. "If so, feel free to tell me."

Wang Jian did not hesitate. When he met Li, he said, "When I first came to Anyi, I met two Legalists. I thought they were very eloquent and had aspirations to serve the Qin State. Therefore, I wanted to introduce them to the emperor."

Chen Xuan's eyes snapped open, knowing that Li Si and Han Fei were coming. Without further delay, he said, "Zheng, accept this. These two are the team you and I are looking for."

Ying Zheng had some thoughts in mind, but he couldn't show it. He just looked surprised and said, "If it's the general who recommended me, there's no reason not to see him. Where are you two? Just bring them in."

Wang Jian responded and gave a few instructions to the guard beside him. Then he saw the guard go out and lead two people in.

These two figures are naturally Han Fei and Li Si.

The two entered the room and realized that the person sitting in the upper seat and holding the bamboo slips was Prince Zheng, the current Emperor of Qin.

Without hesitation, the two men saluted together: "Fei (Si) greets the Emperor of Qin, may the Emperor live long."

Ying Zheng looked at the two people in front of him and felt a sense of closeness in his heart, especially towards Han Fei.

When Wang Jian saw the two men come in, he did not stay any longer. He apologized and left, and pulled the guard beside him out as well.

Some shocking words will surely be said in this room soon. Although Qin is not afraid, he will never let it leak out.

At least it won't be revealed now.

"Which of you two will speak first?" Ying Zheng stopped looking at the bamboo slips and said to the two of them, "Or together?"

Li Si and Han Fei looked at each other and made a plan.

Li Si stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "My senior brother was born with a speech impediment. I will do all the talking for you."

"I don't mind other people's illnesses, so let them speak for themselves." Ying Zheng looked up at Han Fei. He didn't know why, but he always had some good feelings towards the man in front of him, or to be more precise, some admiration for him.

Han Fei stepped forward, bowed, then took out the bamboo slips from his arms and presented them.

Ying Zheng took it subconsciously.

The bamboo slips were quite thick, so they naturally contained more information. The first two words "Gu Fen" were carved with particular effort.

Ying Zheng was a little confused and looked at Han Fei, not knowing what he meant.

Han Fei bowed his head and said, "Fei… Fei… my mouth… is… seriously… ill. Your Majesty… please… take good care of yourself. I will… not… delay any further and write this letter to express my wishes."

Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei for a long time, but Han Fei didn't feel anything. However, it made Li Si nervous for a while.

So, Ying Zheng smiled.

"That's quite interesting." Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, then at the two people in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Let me ask you two gentlemen, if Qin wants to rule the world, what will you do?"

Li Si lowered his head and said, "We should capitalize on Qin's military might, nurture its people, and allow them to thrive for ten years. We should use this to lure the other states, break up their alliances, and once they are all fighting on their own, we can defeat them one by one."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and nodded. This answer was also the path that Qin was taking now and had always taken.

Han Fei remained silent. What Li Si said was the result of their debate, and also the path they thought was most suitable for Qin at the moment.

Although Qin has been following this path, it does not prevent them from saying it again.

After all, there are many things that can be seen and said on this land, but not many either. At least not in front of the royal families of various countries.

When Ying Zheng saw that Han Fei didn't say anything, he knew that what Li Si said was what the two of them said together, so he didn't pay any more attention to it and just opened the bamboo slips and started reading.

His words were a test. He didn't ask the two of them to come up with any other ideas, but just wanted to test their abilities and see if they could see through Qin's plan at a glance.

Now that I have seen it, I need to open the "Lonely Anger" in my hand.

Chen Xuan looked at Ying Zheng opening the bamboo slips below and knew that there were no other problems.

After all, in history, Ying Zheng became Han Fei's number one fan because of "Guo Feng", although he was also the one who killed this "idol".

As time passed, the expression on Ying Zheng's face changed little by little, and Li Si's heart changed accordingly.

Li Si had also read the article "Grievance of Loneliness" and knew that the whole article was the result of Han Fei's hard work in the first half of his life, but it might not please Ying Zheng.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng still had a smile on his face.

"You two gentlemen are both very talented, but I have a question. I hope you can answer it."

Ying Zheng finally finished reading the article "Grief and Anger", looked up at Li Si and Han Fei, and asked with some respect.

"With your talents, you two gentlemen could easily have gone to Xianyang and placed this article on my father's desk. Why are you waiting here for me?"
