Chapter 154 Zhao Feng: Qin Shihuang went to Handan for Afang Girl!
"Admiral."
"The king is waiting for you in the palace."
Zhao Gao turned around and said respectfully.
"Thank you for your help."
Zhao Feng nodded, looked up at the Zhangtai Palace, and walked in with a little expectation.
Zhangtai Palace! This is the sleeping palace of the Qin kings of all dynasties, and it is also the main hall for handling government affairs.
Only a few ministers of the Qin State were fortunate enough to enter the Zhangtai Palace.
Step into the hall.
The King of Qin did not sit down, but waited with his hands behind his back.
"I pay my respects to the king."
Zhao Feng immediately bowed.
Seeing Zhao Feng, Ying Zheng raised his hand with a smile on his face, and then said, "Come."
immediately.
Ying Zheng turned around and walked towards the back hall.
Zhao Feng followed in with doubts.
Enter the back hall.
What comes into view is a huge sand table map, and the scenery of China seems to be presented on this sand table.
And on this sandbox.
Zhao Feng accurately saw every city of the Great Qin, as well as the cities of various countries. The cities belonging to Qin had Qin flags flying on their sides, while the cities of various countries had flags flying on their sides.
At a glance.
Nearly half of this huge sand table is already filled with Qin flags.
"How is it?" Ying Zheng carried it on his back and smiled at the sand table in front of him.
“The world’s best is in sight.”
"Everything is under the control of the king." Zhao Feng replied seriously.
"Hahaha."
Ying Zheng laughed loudly: "With the strength of millions of soldiers of our Great Qin, Han and Zhao have now been annexed by our Great Qin. Apart from our Great Qin, there are only Wei, Qi, Chu and Yan left in the world."
"The unification of the world is in sight."
From these words, one can feel the tremendous arrogance of Ying Zheng.
It seemed as if the whole world would submit to him.
"indeed."
"The world is within sight." Zhao Feng immediately echoed.
According to historical records, the world will be unified within the next four or five years.
With the strongest Zhao State destroyed by Qin, only Chu State was worthy of Qin's attention.
As for the three kingdoms of Wei, Yan and Qi.
Their national strength is simply not comparable to that of the Qin Dynasty. Once they mobilize their troops, they will never be able to compete with Qin.
"here."
"Except you."
"Only the Shaofu has been here." Ying Zheng turned around and said to Zhao Feng.
"It's my honor." Zhao Feng replied with a fist salute.
"alright."
"There are only you and I here, no need to be so reserved."
Seeing Zhao Feng being so reserved, Ying Zheng became a little reluctant.
"Yes." Zhao Feng nodded.
"Speaking of which."
"I'm very curious."
Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Feng with a smile on his face.
"What is the king curious about?" Zhao Feng was slightly stunned.
"I checked you."
"From a village in Sandhill County."
"My father died in the attack on Zhao at an early age, and I was raised by my mother."
"Before I enlisted, I had no famous teacher to teach me, nor did I learn the art of war."
"But you are brave and good at fighting, and you are also good at commanding troops."
"In the past, Wu'an Jun was good at commanding troops and he was a military strategist, but you have never had the chance." Ying Zheng smiled, with a curious look in his eyes.
For these.
Zhao Feng was not surprised either.
The King of Qin investigated himself.
This is naturally fundamental.
If he didn't even find out his own background clearly, let alone being promoted to the position of the Captain of the Guards now, even being promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief in the past would be impossible.
The king would never allow an unknown person to take charge of the military power of the Qin Dynasty.
"Perhaps, this is my extraordinary talent." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"Gifted? Then why were you in the logistics army?" Ying Zheng asked in a teasing tone.
"At the beginning, I only wanted to go back to take care of my mother. If it weren't for Bao Yuan and his son, I might have retired from the army and returned home." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"So that's it."
"I really have to thank Bao Yuan and his son. If it weren't for them, I would have missed you first." Ying Zheng laughed.
"When I go to Yingchuan someday, I will burn a stick of incense for Bao Yuan and his son on behalf of the king."
Zhao Feng also teased with some interest.
Hearing this.
Ying Zheng couldn't stop smiling: "You kid."
"Your Majesty."
"The Hot Spring Pavilion is ready." Zhao Gao's voice came from outside the Zhangtai Palace.
"Let's go, Zhao Feng."
"Let's go to the hot springs together."
"It's winter now, and it's time to enjoy the celebration of the destruction of Zhao. It's time for me to enjoy myself." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"It would be disrespectful for me to refuse."
Zhao Feng replied immediately.
Take a hot spring bath.
This is indeed a great treat in winter.
It has been nearly twenty years since Zhao Fengke was reborn into this world, but he has yet to enjoy it.
Walk out of Zhangtai Palace.
Zhao Gao was already waiting outside the palace.
Leading the way on his side, Ying Zheng walked in front, while Zhao Feng followed behind Ying Zheng, looking at the palace with great curiosity.
Zhao Gao did not dare to overstep the mark and served Queen Zhao Feng.
As the Minister of the Imperial Chariots in the palace.
Naturally, he had a complete grasp of the etiquette in the palace.
"hehe."
Looking at Zhao Feng looking around, Ying Zheng also smiled faintly.
soon.
Under the guidance of Zhao Gao.
We arrived at a palace in the royal palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
All the eunuchs and palace maids serving here knelt down.
Ying Zheng walked into the palace without stopping, and Zhao Feng followed closely behind him.
Inside the palace.
The charcoal was lit and the temperature was very high.
Compared to being very cold outside, there is a big difference once you enter, it is very hot.
"undress."
Zhao Gao shouted.
A dozen palace maids walked into the palace.
Then Ying Zheng spread his hands, and the palace maid carefully took off the royal robe and crown for him.
A group of palace maids also surrounded Zhao Feng.
"No, I'll do it myself."
Zhao Feng immediately waved his hand and took off his military uniform himself.
Only a pair of pants was left.
"how?"
"You, a great general, still need to undress yourself?"
"Don't tell me that you are only with the daughter of the Wang family?" Ying Zheng teased.
Hearing this.
Even Zhao Feng felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
What Ying Zheng said was indeed correct.
Although he led troops to fight wars constantly, he also captured many princesses and concubines from other countries.
But Zhao Feng really didn't touch them, he was only focused on becoming stronger.
"It seems."
"I still have to give you more."
"After you get married, I will give you two princesses from Han and Zhao."
"A general of my Great Qin cannot have only one wife." Ying Zheng laughed and walked slowly into the hot spring.
And Zhao Feng also walked slowly.
Ying Zheng took a glance and saw that Zhao Feng's shirtless body was covered with sword wounds and arrow marks. Although they had healed, the scars were still there. Even Ying Zheng was slightly startled.
"Among the generals of my Great Qin, I'm afraid you are the only one who has been injured the most."
"As your father-in-law said that day, you like to lead the troops by example."
"This behavior really needs to be changed." Ying Zheng said with some concern.
Feeling the steaming hot spring, Zhao Feng sat down without being too reserved.
"It depends on the situation." Zhao Feng smiled.
Except myself.
Who could possibly know the joy of killing enemies and picking up attributes?
Watching his attributes rising continuously and breaking the limits of his body, the feeling of becoming stronger really made Zhao Feng intoxicated.
"You kid." Ying Zheng also shook his head helplessly.
A glance from the corner of my eye.
I watched the palace maids serving around me bring in a few jugs of wine and meat.
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Zhao Gao immediately understood.
"I'll take my leave."
Zhao Gao led a group of palace maids and retreated respectfully, closing the door of the Hot Spring Pavilion.
"You and your sister are twins?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.
"kindness."
Zhao Feng nodded, with a hint of concern in his eyes: "Twins."
"You're almost twenty now."
"The same goes for your sister. I heard that she is still unmarried, right?"
"A twenty-year-old girl is already considered old." Ying Zheng said with interest.
"My mother is quite open-minded and doesn't like arranged marriages, so she never forced my sister to do anything."
"I feel the same way. If my sister really finds the one she loves, then she will follow her. But if she doesn't want to, I won't force her." Zhao Feng said.
perhaps.
This is also a collision between ancient and modern thought.
Zhao Feng naturally loved his only sister very much and would never let her suffer any grievances.
Listen to what Zhao Feng said.
Ying Zheng was also slightly surprised: "Your mother is quite open-minded."
"Ha ha."
"My family is originally just commoners, so naturally we don't have the rules and regulations of a big family." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"Yes, the rules and regulations of a big family."
"I am disgusted to the extreme."
"But once you reach this position, how can you be free from constraints?"
“Everything is due to profit.”
"Everything starts with profit." Ying Zheng said with emotion.
"Your Majesty is right."
"But if they were my children, I would let them make their own choices." Zhao Feng said disapprovingly.
"Even if I arrange marriages for your children in the future, will you disobey?" Ying Zheng smiled.
As soon as these words fell.
Zhao Feng's expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he said helplessly, "My children are only one year old. It shouldn't be your concern then."
"Why do you make it seem like I won't live that long?" Ying Zheng glared and said unhappily.
"No, there is absolutely no such thing." Zhao Feng waved his hands repeatedly.
But Ying Zheng was not angry, he just smiled and said: "Now I am curious about how you convinced Wang Jian to marry his daughter to you."
"It's nothing, the rice has been cooked."
"My father-in-law can't let Yan'er marry into the royal family while pregnant."
"What if something goes wrong..." Zhao Feng chuckled.
"You kid..."
Ying Zheng's expression became even weirder.
Now that there was really no one else around, Zhao Feng actually completely relaxed and was no longer as restrained as before.
To this.
Ying Zheng was not angry, but very happy instead.
He hasn't had a chat like this for a long time.
Because any minister would feel restrained in front of him, not daring to open their hearts, let alone say much, but Zhao Feng didn't care at all.
This also made Ying Zheng feel a long-lost sense of comfort.
"Actually."
"Even if you hadn't appeared, Wang Jian would not have married his daughter to Fusu." Ying Zheng said slowly.
"Of course." Zhao Feng nodded.
"Aren't you surprised?" Ying Zheng was surprised.
"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Zhao Feng smiled.
"Do you think I like to hear lies?" Ying Zheng said unhappily.
Zhao Feng smiled and winked, "Then let me make it clear first. Your Majesty, please don't get angry when you hear this. I am not a good talker."
"Fart if you want to."
Seeing Zhao Feng's suspenseful look, Ying Zheng glanced at him and said.
"My father-in-law's personality is that he keeps everything out of the way and is good at saving his life."
"Don't think that marrying the king's son is a good thing, but it also means that my father-in-law is on my side. If something unexpected happens in the future, wouldn't the Wang family be involved?"
"After all, the king also understands the struggle for royal power."
"So, the king understands."
That’s all.
Zhao Feng shut up.
His words were neither euphemistic nor tactful.
Anyway, the King of Qin definitely understood what I meant.
As Ying Zheng listened to Zhao Feng's words, the smile on his face did not disappear, and he was not angry at all.
Because Zhao Feng was absolutely right.
"Who do you think proposed the arrangement of marriage for the daughter of the Wang family?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
"Isn't it the king?" Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.
"Do you know what the king hates most?"
Seeing Zhao Feng's honesty, Ying Zheng simply did not have the status of a king at the moment and temporarily put down his lofty majesty.
Zhao Feng thought for a moment and replied, "Forming a clique for personal gain?"
"It seems that you are not only proficient in commanding troops, but also have some understanding of court affairs." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.
"My father-in-law holds military power, and the position of crown prince is uncertain. Whoever gets his support will have a powerful arm."
"It seems that it was the ministers in the court who facilitated this." Zhao Feng thought for a while and said.
"You are quite good at reasoning." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I am good at reasoning, but when I was in the army before, I happened to be threatened and asked to cancel the marriage with the Wang family and help Prince Fusu." Zhao Feng said with a sneer.
Although this matter has passed.
Fusu also seemed to come to apologize that day.
But today in the court, Bai Wu suddenly attacked him. Zhao Feng didn't believe that Wang Wan and others were not behind him. Since they were looking for trouble again, Zhao Feng would not tolerate them.
Since the King of Qin is so amiable at this moment, Zhao Feng doesn't mind increasing the strength of Wang Wan and the others.
Don't you want Fusu to be the crown prince? I'll strengthen you and make the King of Qin even more afraid of you and Fusu.
King Zheng of Qin was high and mighty, and although everything was under his control, he naturally had to use his subordinates to his advantage and guard against them.
It's your choice whether you choose to side or not.
But if you go too far, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the King of Qin.
And Zhao Feng wants to magnify these dissatisfactions today.
really.
After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Ying Zheng frowned: "Who threatened you to break off the engagement with the Wang family?"
"Isn't this considered gossip?" Zhao Feng said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Speak." Ying Zheng glanced and said unhappily.
Things have come to this point, how could Ying Zheng not let Zhao Feng finish speaking?
This was indeed the first time he had heard of this.
Never heard the wind before.
Even Black Ice Terrace doesn’t know.
certainly.
This is also because only Zhao Feng and his personal guards knew about this matter, and Chunyu Yue and others would naturally not be stupid enough to spread it everywhere.
Since the King of Qin had spoken, how could Zhao Feng not speak? So he suppressed the smile in his heart and said seriously: "Chun Yuyue's disciple, Meng Jia."
"Chun Yu Yue?" Ying Zheng muttered, and his face turned cold.
"certainly."
"He may threaten, but I haven't suffered any loss at all."
"The disciple he sent was beaten into a pig's head by me."
"Moreover, Master Fusu was not aware of this matter. When he went to Yingchuan that day, Master Fusu personally apologized to me."
Although he was playing dirty tricks, Zhao Feng still knew his limits.
How clever the King of Qin is.
If he showed that he was particularly targeting his son, even though they were having a good chat now, if he really came to his senses, he would probably think that he was deliberately targeting Fusu, so it was better to say something. After all, Zhao Feng's main purpose was to target Wang Wan and others.
Give them some strength.
"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded as a response to this matter.
"Looking at the way the King of Qin is behaving, Chunyu Yue will suffer in the future. And Wang Wan and his gang wanted to facilitate the marriage between my father-in-law and Fusu, but they didn't realize that they had violated the King of Qin's taboo. They will suffer in the future too."
"I didn't recruit those old guys, they came to recruit me, so don't blame us for increasing the intensity on you." Zhao Feng sneered in his heart.
"Do you know why I went to Handan in person?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked, changing the subject.
"Well, it should be that the king wants to revisit the old place." Zhao Feng thought for a moment and replied.
"Handan."
"That's not a place to call home."
Ying Zheng sneered: "If I really had the hatred I once had for Handan, I would have wanted to massacre the city of Handan."
Hearing this.
Zhao Feng didn't say anything.
Because Ying Zheng was telling the truth.
No one knew the suffering and humiliation that Ying Zheng endured in Handan when he was a hostage in Zhao State.
Today, people only see the tyranny of King Zheng of Qin in holding royal power and his ambition to rule the world.
But he didn't know the suffering he had endured as a proton.
Any ruler who does not care about the world will order a massacre the moment he conquers a place that was once humiliating.
But Ying Zheng held back and didn't do it.
All of this is done with the world in mind.
Seeing that Zhao Feng did not reply, Ying Zheng poured himself a glass of wine and then poured another glass for Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng took it immediately.
"This is the finest wine from Jiuxianlou."
"I've drunk a lot of wine, but this is one of my favorites."
"I specially asked someone to buy it from Yingchuan County." Ying Zheng said.
"I have drunk it too, it is indeed a fine wine." Zhao Feng agreed with a smile.
But in his heart, Zhao Feng naturally smiled: "The cross-era winemaking technology is naturally far beyond this era. Even the King of Qin was captured by this fine wine. No wonder Jiuxianlou is making so much money now. In this era, fine wine is indeed the most profitable business."
"Now I should be considered rich enough to rival a country."
Ying Zheng picked up the wine jar and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Feng naturally accompanied him.
After drinking a glass of wine, Ying Zheng's eyes showed a touch of reminiscence: "Actually, I went to Handan to find someone."
"Looking for someone?"
"Who is worthy of the king going to Handan in person to look for?"
"Is he a great talent?" Zhao Feng asked curiously.
This time his curiosity was really aroused.
"What great talent is worth traveling thousands of miles to find?"
"Even if it's Guiguzi!" Ying Zheng smiled domineeringly.
"Could it be that the king left something in Handan?" Zhao Feng really couldn't think of it.
Ying Zheng did not answer immediately, but picked up the wine jug, poured the wine and took a sip.
After a moment of calm, he slowly said with a look of reminiscence on his face and concern in his eyes, "I'm looking for my wife."
Hearing this.
Zhao Feng was surprised: "The king's wife?"
"No way."
"If she was the king's wife, why did she stay in Handan? Didn't she follow the king to return to Qin?"
"Why didn't you become the queen of Daqin?"
Hearing this secret, Zhao Feng's interest was completely aroused.
"Historically, Qin Shi Huang never had a queen in his lifetime."
“There are two historical accounts of this.”
"One reason is that Qin Shi Huang had experienced his mother, Zhao Ji, controlling the government and subverting the royal power with Lao Ai, so he did not want to appoint another queen to deal with his son, so he did not appoint a queen. Without a queen, there would be no queen mother."
"The second is that there was no one Qin Shihuang loved in the harem. The person he really loved was Afang. Historically, after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the most magnificent Afang Palace was built by Qin Shihuang to commemorate the woman named Afang."
"Now, listening to what the King of Qin said, the Afang girl really existed in history, and he truly regarded her as his wife!"
At this moment, Zhao Feng's memory was also working rapidly, and he was researching based on the history he knew.
Zhao Feng had discovered the biggest secret of Qin Shihuang.
All over the world.
He should be the only one who knows this, right?
"She came back with me."
"But I failed to protect her." Ying Zheng sighed, with infinite guilt in his tone.
Zhao Feng nodded but didn't respond.
"When the King of Qin first returned to Qin, the court was not under his control like it is now."
"Even for many years after the King of Qin ascended the throne, the government was always controlled by Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei. Before the King of Qin took power, they had almost no power." Zhao Feng understood instantly.
"It's not the king's fault."
"Although I have never experienced what the king went through, I have heard about what happened after the king returned to Qin."
"Although the king ascended the throne soon after returning to Qin, he never ruled the country personally, and many things were not handled by the king at all."
"At that time, there was the powerful prime minister Lu Buwei, the queen mother at that time, the royal family, and the officials."
"The court is changeable and everything is out of control." Zhao Feng said slowly.
This can be considered as a comfort to the King of Qin.
"If a man cannot even protect his own daughter, he is a failure."
"I failed at the beginning."
Ying Zheng took another sip, but the guilt in his eyes never disappeared.
Obviously.
This should be the knot in his heart. If he doesn’t find his sweetheart, this knot will never be untied until his death!
"The King of Qin is also a sentimental person."
"He looks majestic and cold, and seems unattainable, but he still has a side that belongs to ordinary people."
"But he has no defenses against me? He actually told me such a secret?"
"Do you think I'm your junior? Do you think I'm tight-lipped?"
Listening to such secrets about the future Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Feng's mood was unsurprisingly very complicated.
If you talk too much about such secrets, you will be asking for trouble!
