Chapter 189: The Destruction of Zhao State (asking for monthly votes)
Ying Zheng looked at the three people in front of him, raised his eyebrows and said, "The Queen Mother said she would reward you, and I will give you some rewards as well. Do you have any titles?"
Among the three, except for Li who is a third-class hairpin owl, the other two are commoners.
Ying Zheng made an exception and granted titles to Han Chong and Shi Sheng as fifth-rank officials, and Li as a sixth-rank official.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When one reaches the rank of Daifu, he is no longer considered a commoner, and Daifu can directly take up a lower-level official position.
Is Zhao Yuanxi happy? Of course she is happy, her people have won titles, that's because they are capable, but she is not too happy, because it means that she must at least give out rewards commensurate with these titles.
Zhao Yuanxi rewarded each of them with a thousand gold coins and gave them several houses in Xianyang City.
Ying Zheng said sternly, "Queen Dowager, I came here today for another matter."
His expression was so serious that Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but become serious as well. "What happened?"
"Handan City has been captured."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
The fall of Handan City meant that Qin had won and conquered Zhao.
Zhao Yuanxi suddenly raised his eyes and frowned, "Are you going to Handan?"
"Yes, I still have unresolved grievances with that place."
Ying Zheng knew clearly that the person before him was no longer his mother, but he still wanted to come over and say something to her.
His past experiences in Zhao State were an unspeakable pain for him, and the only person he could share it with was his mother.
The two looked at each other. Zhao Yuanxi looked into his eyes and couldn't help but stand there in a daze. The pain hidden in his eyes seemed to drown her.
Zhao Yuanxi felt depressed. "Go ahead! I will protect Xianyang for you."
"Well, is there anything else your Majesty would like to say?"
"Well... protect yourself, don't get sick from anger. Also, you are going there to seek revenge, not to commit murder. Don't kill innocent people..." Zhao Yuanxi said a lot in a long-winded manner.
Ying Zheng suddenly laughed. The Queen Mother really had never changed.
"I understand."
After Ying Zheng finished explaining his affairs, he prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Zhao Yuanxi gritted his teeth. "The journey to Zhao State is long and steep, and the mountains are high. If I take you by car, the journey will be less bumpy."
I thought Ying Zheng would ask me for it, but it turned out that I delivered it to him personally!
Although Zhao Yuanxi felt distressed, he did not regret it. He only comforted himself in his heart that it was just a car!
"The Queen Mother is willing to do so?"
"What are you saying? When have I ever been reluctant to give up?" Zhao Yuanxi was unhappy when she heard this. Although she was stingy, she was still very generous to others.
Ying Zheng stared at her for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Does the Queen Mother want to go with us?"
"Is this okay?"
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that." No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do.
"But this Xianyang?"
"Xianyang is under guard, so the Queen Mother doesn't need to worry."
The State of Qin would not be destroyed in just half a month without its king, not to mention that he was just going to the State of Zhao, not dead.
"Okay, I'll go get someone to pack up!"
It was thus decided that the King of Qin and the Queen Mother would go to Handan in person.
When Fusu and Ziying heard the news, they grabbed the door sill and started crying.
Especially Ziying.
"I want to go too! Mother can't leave me!" Ziying's tears flowed heavily and his throat was almost hoarse.
Although Fusu didn't cry, his eyes were red and he looked at her eagerly.
"I'm just going to be away for a while, just like when my mother went out, I'll be back soon."
"It's different. This time, my mother is going to the State of Zhao." Ziying cried so hard that his body was shaking and his little face turned red.
He heard from Mr. Chunyu that the people of Zhao were the most ferocious and had been enemies with the Qin State for generations. It would definitely be very dangerous for his mother to go there.
Zhao Yuanxi: "Now Zhao State has become part of Qin State. Grandmother is just going to the more distant Qin State with your uncle, the King of Qin."
"Won't they want to chop you with a knife?" Ziying sniffed.
Look at what you said! Actually, there is nothing wrong with it!
There will definitely be some people who want to fight to the death with the Qin State, but whether they can get close to Ying Zheng is another matter.
"The Great Mother will have guards around her, and she can protect herself, but you two are too young, and she may have to devote some energy to protecting you when the time comes." Zhao Yuanxi said helplessly.
Ziying's eyes were red. He wiped away his tears and sobbed, "I'm sorry!"
Zhao Yuanxi felt a pang of sadness in his heart and hugged him in his arms. "Wait for me in Xianyang, okay? I'll bring you gifts when I come back."
"Yeah." Ziying hugged her neck tightly and buried his head in her neck, tears still falling.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yuanxi pulled Ziying away and took Fusu's hand, clasping their hands together. "While I'm gone, you two have to take care of each other, okay?"
They both nodded.
Zhao Yuanxi touched their heads and kissed them on the forehead, "So good!"
It's not that Zhao Yuanxi doesn't want to take them with her, but as Ziying said, Zhao State is indeed a little dangerous. She has long arms and legs and is very strong. Most people can't do anything to her, but it's different for the two little guys. A little danger may cause immeasurable consequences.
The news of Zhao's surrender quickly spread throughout Qin, and the Qin people were all excited.
Some Qin people who received letters from their family members in the army even called their friends to tell them.
The people in Canglang Pavilion also heard the news.
Han Fei's hands trembled violently, and the veins on his bony fingertips were visible. He closed his eyes and sighed, "Zhao State is so unbearable. Ahem—"
Although Zhao's national strength has declined in recent years, it is still a powerful country among the six countries, and its military strength is only slightly inferior to that of Qin. But that was only a short time ago!
Zhang Liang hurried back from the academy and saw his teacher standing in front of the window, wearing only a single layer of clothes.
"Teacher, you haven't recovered from the cold you caught a few days ago. You still need to take care of yourself." Zhang Liang put a coat on Han Fei.
"Ahem! You, heard about it?" Han Fei clenched his fist and coughed, his face turning even paler.
Zhang Liang nodded. "Now that Qin has conquered Zhao, its next target will undoubtedly be Han."
Even Zhao couldn't stop the Qin army, so Han now had no way to escape.
Zhang Liang thought he would be very angry, but at this moment he was unusually calm and even quickly accepted this fact.
"I'm going to meet the King of Qin." Han Fei looked into the distance, his eyes gradually becoming sad and painful.
No one can stop Qin's momentum to destroy Han, but he must protect the bloodline of the Han royal family.
It no longer mattered to him whether he was a minister of the Zhou emperor or a minister of the Qin state.
Zhang Liang guessed what his teacher was going to do and sighed, "But you can't leave Yongcheng right now. I'll go find the maidservant and have her pass on this to Queen Mother Zhao."
Now if we want to contact King Qin, we can only rely on her.
