The dazzling golden light fell entirely on the tall and majestic figure.
The light is brilliant and dazzling.
The divine dragon behind the black and gold dragon robe danced in the wind, as if circling around the emperor, making him look even more majestic and inviolable.
The majestic and deep voice was like the roar of a dragon and a tiger, which made people tremble with fear and bow down to him.
Inside the solemn and magnificent hall, all the palace servants had expressions of shock on their faces, looking up at the unrivaled emperor with eyes full of reverence.
Chu Yuening was also fascinated by the unparalleled elegance of the emperor of all ages. Her pair of clear and bright eyes were astonishingly bright, filled with admiration and worship that could not be expressed in words.
Even though they had been together for many years, she still couldn't help but be amazed and impressed by his great talent, his advanced ideas, and his personal charm.
Perhaps, A Zheng is such a person who is difficult to describe in words.
A person who has never existed since ancient times and will never appear in the future.
He has amazed history, the long river of time and space, and millions of people.
Zhang Liang stared up at the domineering emperor in a daze, his heart-wrenching words echoing in his ears, and his soul was deeply touched.
It was like a sudden enlightenment, and I suddenly realized the truth.
How could he, who is so smart, not understand the meaning of these words?
Even people fight for power and profit and the strong prey on the weak, let alone between countries and between ethnic groups?
The latter will only be bloodier and more cruel.
If we remain complacent and our enemies become stronger and we become weaker in the future, what awaits them is brutal slaughter, destruction of their country and their clan.
By then, human life will be worthless, even less than that of livestock.
Now thinking about it, the current situation is the best outcome.
Although my homeland has been destroyed, the people of my homeland are still here, and they have no worries about food and clothing and live and work in peace and contentment.
So...at this point, he is the only one who cannot let go of the national hatred and family feuds.
Dividing the world into fiefdoms and ruling the country is ultimately a ridiculous fantasy...
At this moment, even though Zhang Liang was extremely proud, he had to admit that—
He lost this battle.
A complete defeat.
His face grew paler, and a bitter, self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"...Your Majesty is absolutely right. I am too narrow-minded, too short-sighted, and too naive."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my impoliteness. I am willing to go on a diplomatic mission to the Western Regions to persuade the nations to surrender, and to redeem myself for my crimes."
After saying this, he fell to his knees with a plop and bowed deeply.
The pride that was willingly lowered showed that he was convinced of the victory.
Ying Zheng looked at him in surprise, then personally helped his minister up, with a friendly expression, making no secret of his respect for him.
"Zhang Qing, please get up quickly!"
"It's just a momentary verbal dispute, a trivial matter. How could I blame you so harshly?"
The monarch was respectful to the wise and humble, so Zhang Liang could not be hypocritical and quickly stood up to express his gratitude.
However, he really didn't expect that His Majesty would forgive his sins so easily, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
He was well-versed in history books and knew that kings could be capricious and arbitrary.
There are many kings who listened to slander and killed loyal and good people.
It is not surprising that a lackey cooks a cunning rabbit until it is dead, or a good bow hides away the flying birds.
Those who commit crimes by disobeying their superiors or offending the emperor's majesty will be punished by imprisonment at the very least, and by the worst, their entire clan will be implicated.
He was alone and not afraid of death. He was ready to die, but he never thought...
"Your Majesty is broad-minded and magnanimous, and I admire you deeply."
Zhang Liang couldn't help but bow again and praised sincerely.
His eyes were clear, his smile was open, and his every move revealed respect and submission.
It was obvious that he truly recognized the king he was destined to follow for the rest of his life.
This subtle change naturally did not escape Ying Zheng's eyes.
He was satisfied, then patted his minister's shoulder appreciatively and laughed out loud.
"Zhang Qing's wisdom and strategy are unparalleled, which makes me admire him!"
"Your Majesty, I am too kind. I only know some trivial skills..."
The king and his minister complimented each other, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. There was no longer any trace of the tension that had been there before.
The palace people felt the joyful atmosphere and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Chu Yuening held her face in her hands and looked at the dignified and noble man, with twinkling little stars in her eyes.
Hehehe, A Zheng is so awesome!
Even the tough bone of Zhang Liang was chewed.
An hour later.
The emperor and his ministers initially agreed on a strategy to recruit the countries in the Western Regions to surrender.
The specific implementation details are too complicated, so Chu Yuening summarized it as using courtesy first and then force.
First, negotiate in a friendly manner to demonstrate the demeanor of a great power.
If they don't know what's good for them, then demonstrate to them the power of artillery and give them some hard truths.
After the discussion, Zhang Liang tactfully took his leave.
This matter is of vital importance and cannot be decided in a short time. It requires consultation with all the ministers and officials.
In addition, there are many matters such as forming delegations and escort teams, preparing weapons and food, and trading goods.
Once everything is ready, we can set off at the earliest in summer.
As soon as Zhang Liang left, Chu Yuening dismissed the palace maids and pretended to discuss something with Ying Zheng.
In fact, when they were the only two left in the hall, she dropped her dignified disguise as a queen, threw herself heavily into the man's arms, and hung on to him.
She rubbed and stuck to him, and excitedly flattered him, just like a little fan girl meeting her idol.
"Ahhh~ Zheng, you were so handsome just now!"
“Absolutely stunningly handsome!”
"Are you an arsonist? Otherwise, why is my heart beating so fast?"
Ying Zheng didn't understand his young wife's fanatical behavior, but he was greatly shocked.
However, he still greatly enjoyed his wife's flattery and admiration.
After all, no man can resist the praise of his loved one.
He put one arm around the woman's waist and the other hand on her hips, steadying her swaying body before speaking reluctantly.
“It’s just from the heart.”
"However, I am very happy to have Yue Ning's admiration."
A low and gentle male voice spoke lightly, and the smile on Chu Yuening's face suddenly froze.
She bit her lip, then hugged the man's neck tightly. Her voice was sobbing, with the tenderness unique to women, but her tone was firm and resolute.
"Woo woo woo, A Zheng, you are obviously very good!"
"You deserve everyone's love! You deserve everyone's praise!"
Thinking back to the slander against A Zheng in later generations, she became more and more angry.
You may not like Qin Shi Huang.
But at least you can't pick up the bowl to eat and then put it down to curse.
The idea of great unification alone is the most precious wealth that Qin Shihuang left to China, and his descendants have all benefited from it.
If Qin Shi Huang had not pioneered the great unification, China would have become cannon fodder for powerful nations to fight for their interests, just like the small countries in the Middle East.
The war continues, the country is destroyed, the family is ruined, wives and children are separated, and we are barely surviving, not knowing whether we can see the sun tomorrow.
Ying Zheng gently stroked the black hair of the person in his arms, a hint of tenderness appeared in his slightly drooping phoenix eyes, and he opened his thin lips and let out a faint sigh.
"I don't care about the world's judgment. It's enough for me to have Yue Ning sincerely admiring me."
