"Oh, Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I was just standing outside this door, hoping to see your majesty's majesty, but I didn't expect your majesty to be so powerful that the group of imperial doctors would scatter like birds and beasts."
this…
"Okay, stop bragging. I just want to know what you're doing here. You wouldn't come if there was nothing else to do."
"You really understand me."
How could I not understand this? The famous Mr. Zhuge, who used to assist the Prime Minister, was also good at observing celestial phenomena and astrology. He was quite a versatile figure.
"Your Majesty, I have heard of the Evil House before, and now I see something unknown approaching Daqin from the west."
The west is the direction of Eastern Wu.
What other unidentified objects could be approaching from the Eastern Wu side?
He had lived in peace for a long time before. Since he had not heard of any rebellion or reports in the palace, he thought nothing had happened. However, what happened now was quite serious.
"Can you tell me specifically what it is?"
"The cold snap and the crowd."
Cold wave... How could there be a cold wave in the middle of summer? Besides, he knew this group of people, the ones who were doing evil things at this border.
They are more or less reckless.
Those who are rumored to have reached the Great Heaven Realm are still being raised in this library like grandchildren.
"Go on, I'm also eager to know the situation at the border."
Before leaving, Zhao Xin had handed all the issues over to Mr. Zhuge to handle, and he was now free from all illness. But how could he be allowed to do evil in this matter?
So, I came directly to Mr. Zhuge.
"Your Majesty, this memorial contains so many sad words, each one of which touches my heart."
"I haven't seen you covered in wounds, so there's no need to describe you in such an anthropomorphic way."
Zhao Xin also flipped through a few memorials and nodded, finally understanding a little. It seemed like there were winners and losers on this frontier, but most of them won against the landlords.
It’s normal for a small part to lose, and it’s also normal to cede territory and pay compensation.
"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. Take a look at this book first."
Mr. Zhuge tossed out another one, which Zhao Xin caught and flipped through. With a swish, the entire memorial was torn to shreds and then dropped to the ground, where it lay quietly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
He has been reflecting on this matter since he read the memorial.
Let Mr. Zhuge shout several times.
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
"ah?"
Good guy just came to his senses.
"I'm thinking about how to behave and be a person. Now I can't help but reflect on it. But why do these small countries around me dare to provoke me? Could it be that they see that I can't spare any troops?"
Zhuge thought for a moment and shook his head.
Not really, not really.
They are not stupid. Nowadays, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. They will not ignite the anger of the Qin Dynasty and suffer a beating.
It is normal that as long as we fight to the death, we will drag this small country into the water.
"Your Majesty, every time we seem to be winning, something inexplicably goes wrong, and we always lose!"
Could this be a coincidence? If things continue like this, the Qin Dynasty will definitely be divided up! Zhao Xin was also anxious. After all, who wouldn't want to expand their territory after ruling a country for less than two years?
Instead, it shrank.
"What can I do?"
He was at his wit's end.
He has just gained a firm foothold, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang. Now he is really advancing step by step, just like the military advisor before. When he just saw the dawn of victory, he slapped himself to the ground.
Zhao Xin couldn't withstand these successive blows anymore, and died at the peak of his strength every time.
Every time he falls at the peak.
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about this matter for now. Would you like to play chess with me?"
After much deliberation, he finally came up with a good idea, which was to see if Zhao Xin would follow his lead. After all, he wasn't someone who could accomplish anything right now, so he still had to rely on Zhao Xin.
After all, I obviously don’t have the fame I had before.
"You don't even realize how late it is, and you're still playing chess. Have I gotten used to you and made you feel lost?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, please do not be so hasty to refuse. I will just ask you if you want to play chess or not."
"Down."
Why not? This person can't harm him now anyway. He himself knows the chaos in the country and understands it without him having to say it.
"Okay, then I will play a game with you now."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to play a game with you. You invited me, so don't think of refusing to pay me. Besides, it's just an invitation, why are you so fussy about it?"
Who is confused...
So, the two of them started playing chess. The person sitting at the top watched the direction and fortune of the players and laughed at them.
Zhuge Liang plays chess step by step, which is very similar to his strategy.
Zhao Xin's mind was now empty and he was just thinking about what this person was doing and what he wanted to say.
"Your Majesty, you win again."
Zhao Xin seriously suspected that this guy did it on purpose.
It's nonsense to think that you can win by just playing chess casually.
"Alright, alright, now that I've defeated you, just tell me what you want to learn from this or what truth you want to tell me. Besides, I'll tell you."
I don't have the energy to listen to your nonsense.
"Your Majesty, this letter was received two days ago, and you were not back then, so I will handle this urgent matter on your behalf."
He nodded and did not refuse. Besides, he still trusted Zhuge's ability. After all, he was a powerful man. The name he mentioned was so loud that it would make people's scalps numb.
"Then, I did the thing I regret most in my life, and every time I think about it, I regret it."
Are there any things that Zhuge Liang regretted?
I learned something new.
"explain."
No matter how curious he was inside, he had to control his temper and spoke, and he even sighed.
"According to the news from the border, there is a group of people who want to annex our Great Qin. I was wondering who is on the other side with such a big tone, but I didn't fight back."
"It's better to fight now. This makes the Great Qin look so pathetic."
Zhao Xin nodded, also not saying yes or no. It had already happened two days ago, so what difference did it make whether he agreed or not?
"I don't blame you, and I don't care now. Besides, it's just a request for battle, and there's no requirement to go. Not going will save me manpower."
"what else."
"Your Majesty, before you left, someone personally came to me and issued a military order, stating that if I fail to complete this task, I will be subject to military court."
Wow, this guy was sentenced to beheading by military law. Who on earth is so stupid as to think of issuing a military order?
"Those few people who had been idle in his library, now that they've set out with an army, it's quite impressive."
