Chapter 165 Named Wu'an! Ying Zheng was shocked: Is this elixir poisonous?
"Li Si, you are really good at scheming."
"He is a court official, and his son Li You was originally a civil official, serving as the governor of Beidi County. But now he has switched from civil official to military official, and he has sent his son to serve as a general under Zhao Feng."
"In this way, if he really encounters any trouble in the future, the eldest son will succeed to the throne. With Zhao Feng's prestige, he can protect Li You and keep his Li family's bloodline going."
"Li Si, good trick..."
When they heard Ying Zheng appoint Li You as the commander-in-chief, many ministers in the court were shocked.
But just think about it.
They must have thought that it was obtained by Li Si.
If Li Si had not begged, the king would never have given the position of commander-in-chief to Li You.
After Ying Zheng finished speaking.
Li Si immediately stood up and bowed: "I thank the king on behalf of Li You for his grace. Li You will definitely not let the king down."
"The three commanders of the new camp have all been decided."
"The deputy general is subordinate to you, Wei Qing."
"In the main camp where Zhao Feng was originally stationed, who can be promoted to deputy general and who can be promoted to general? Please make a list and I will decide it myself." Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao and said.
"I obey the imperial edict." Wei Liao responded immediately.
"Your Majesty."
"To set up a new camp, we need a campsite and a name from the king."
"Please let your Majesty decide."
Zhao Feng stood up and spoke loudly.
The establishment of a new camp is a huge task. We are still in Xianyang now. After Zhao Feng returns to Zhao, the affairs will be really busy.
"The main camp."
"Then it will be settled in Cloud City."
Ying Zheng spoke slowly.
As soon as the name of Yunzhong City came out.
Everyone's mind moved.
"Yunzhong City is a border town adjacent to the State of Yan. Your Majesty chose to set up a new camp here in order to intimidate the State of Yan."
"A new camp is stationed in Yunzhong, and the Yan State is going to panic."
"Your Majesty really has a great plan. With this strategy alone, the State of Yan will not dare to do anything reckless."
…
Many ministers in the court immediately understood Ying Zheng's intention.
"As for the name of this camp..."
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on Zhao Feng, and a smile appeared on his face.
Then he said, "The name of the camp is Wu'an!"
As soon as these words fell.
It even caused a speechless shock in the entire court.
Whether they were civil officials or military generals, they all understood the profound meaning behind the name of this camp.
Not to mention the ordinary court officials were moved.
Even the three generals Wang Jian, Meng Wu and Huan Yi were all shocked at this moment.
"Wu'an Camp."
"In the name of Wu'an."
"Your Majesty, you think so highly of Zhao Feng that you named him after him."
"This is clearly telling Zhao Feng, and even more so, telling all the court officials and the world, that Zhao Feng will have a chance to ascend to the position of Wu'an Jun in the future."
"A king is made a king by force."
"Your Majesty is too partial to Zhao Feng..."
All the court officials looked on in shock.
The two words "Wu'an" have great significance.
Especially for Daqin.
Even though Bai Qi has been dead for so many years, no one dares to forget his reputation.
Who dares to forget the existence of Bai Qi, the former God of War of the Qin Dynasty, who was praised by all nations as the God of Killing?
Even if he were to enter Zhao State again now and mention Bai Qi, it would make countless Zhao people afraid.
"To be crowned a lord through military prowess is the greatest honor for a military official."
"The king is telling me to keep working hard."
Zhao Feng could naturally see through Ying Zheng's intentions.
immediately.
Zhao Sheng bowed and said, "Thank you for the name, Your Majesty. Wu'an Camp will never let you down. We will wipe out all the kingdoms for you and help you unify the world."
Zhao Feng took the name of Wu'an.
From then on, the camp he commanded was called the Wu'an Camp.
However, in order to truly achieve the word Wu'an, Zhao Feng needs to continue to make meritorious contributions and military achievements. Only when he is truly awarded the title of Wu'an Jun, this camp can be called the real Wu'an Camp.
"Gu, I believe you."
Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Feng and said in a majestic voice.
Everyone can hear the trust in the words.
…
Inside Zhangtai Palace!
"The charter for the establishment of Wu'an Camp has already been drawn up."
"When are you planning to go to Zhao?" Ying Zheng asked Zhao Feng who was sitting on the side.
"Since everything has been arranged, I can set off back to Zhao tomorrow." Zhao Feng thought for a moment and replied.
Ying Zheng looked at him in surprise: "So soon? Why don't you stay a few more days?"
"I didn't tell you to leave today."
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "How dare I betray your Majesty's trust in me?"
"Secondly, the establishment of a large camp will inevitably involve many matters, so I'd better handle them myself to avoid any loopholes in the future."
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Ying Zheng nodded at Zhao Feng's serious look.
perhaps.
This is also one of the reasons why Ying Zheng valued Zhao Feng and took everything seriously.
"Well, if you want to leave tomorrow, then do it tomorrow."
"The camp has just been built. You probably won't be able to come back within half a year."
"But after the camp is built, you can return to the capital."
"If there is no war, as the general you can stay in the capital to rest." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.
To this.
Zhao Feng naturally understood it a long time ago.
As a general.
If you control the military power of a large camp and stay in the camp all the time, you can mobilize the troops at any time. If you are persuaded by the enemy to rebel, it will be a big disaster.
Although at this point the family will be in the capital, there are still those cruel people who treat their family members like grass, and there are also those who don't care about their family members at all.
"How many troops are left in your original main camp?" Ying Zheng asked.
"We have more than 60,000 combat troops, and the loss in the battle to destroy Zhao was too great." Zhao Feng sighed.
Although Zhao Feng's old brothers under his command had experienced countless wars, he was still numb when he saw those people die in front of him, but he still felt touched.
"How many new soldiers do you need as reinforcements?"
"I can issue an edict to ask the Shaofu to do his best to meet the initial construction of your camp." Ying Zheng said.
"There are still more than 200,000 Zhao surrendered soldiers and reorganized prisoners. I don't want new soldiers, and I will use the prisoners as the main force."
"Now that Zhao is gone, these surrendered soldiers are like trees without roots, just like the surrendered soldiers of Han in the past. They can all be used by our Great Qin."
"As long as we subdue them, their combat effectiveness will be stronger than that of new recruits. They only need a little training." Zhao Feng said.
"More than 200,000 surrendered soldiers, can you subdue them with more than 60,000 elite soldiers?"
"Although the strategy of using convict soldiers is feasible, it would be bad if there really was a mutiny." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
This move.
Ying Zheng still showed concern.
"Don't worry, my king."
"The convict army has ties within it, but there is still hope within the army."
"With the military merit system as an incentive and the family as a threat, they dare not act recklessly."
"If you really dare, then kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
"I still have these means." Zhao Feng said confidently.
"In short, it's better to be careful."
"The garrison of the Lantian Camp in Zhao has not been transferred yet. I will leave a main camp in Zhao, and then transfer them back after the Wuan Camp is completely formed." Ying Zheng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Feng naturally would not refuse Ying Zheng's kindness.
"Zhao Gao."
"Bring the tiger talisman." Ying Zheng said majestically.
Response.
Zhao Gao held a brocade box, walked over with his body bent, and handed the box to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng slowly opened it, and what came into his sight was a Qin tiger talisman.
"This is the tiger talisman of the Wu'an Camp. Tomorrow you will set out to return to Zhao and build the camp for the first time."
"I will give you this tiger talisman. I will return it to you when you return to the capital someday." Ying Zheng handed the box containing the tiger talisman to Zhao Feng.
I saw it was a tiger talisman.
Zhao Feng also took it with a very serious expression.
"besides."
"When you arrive at the camp, you will be extremely busy with military affairs. When you leave, please go to the Dan Palace and I will give you some elixirs."
"Taking the elixir can strengthen your body, protect you from all diseases, and also refresh your mind." Ying Zheng said with emotion.
He was clearly intoxicated by this elixir.
Hearing the word "elixir", Zhao Feng frowned, then asked: "Your Majesty, do you take elixir every day?"
"I have so many memorials to deal with. If I don't take the elixir to boost my spirit, how can I endure it?"
"Come to think of it, it was all thanks to you that after we destroyed Han, I got a lot of elixirs from the Han secret library. Otherwise, my elixirs would have been used up long ago." Ying Zheng smiled.
Seeing how enthusiastic Ying Zheng was about the elixir, Zhao Feng could tell that he really regarded the elixir as an elixir of life.
"Although it is said in history that Qin Shi Huang died of illness, it has a lot to do with the so-called elixir. It is said that he died of heavy metal poisoning."
"Should I remind him?"
"Will it change history if I remind you?"
"Bah, changing history has nothing to do with me. I'm not Yi Xiaochuan. I'm afraid the world I live in is not the Earth of my previous life."
"The King of Qin has been so good to me, so he may as well live longer. The end of the Qin Dynasty is inevitable anyway, so it would be good for me if he lives longer."
Thought for a while.
Zhao Feng had made a decision in his heart.
Zhao Feng was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. Originally, Zhao Feng thought that the current King of Qin was young and strong and had not taken the so-called elixir. But after hearing it today, he realized that he was wrong.
Zhao Feng really couldn't do the thing of watching the King of Qin take it even though he knew it was poison.
"Your Majesty."
"I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Zhao Feng said hesitantly.
Ying Zheng glanced at me and smiled faintly, "You are no longer reserved in front of me. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart."
"It's better not to eat this elixir king." Zhao Feng said.
"Why?" Ying Zheng looked surprised.
"It's poisonous." Zhao Feng uttered two words lightly.
Upon hearing this.
Ying Zheng was stunned.
"What did you say?"
"Is the elixir poisonous?"
"Hahaha."
"Zhao Feng, you worry too much."
"I have been taking this elixir for many years. If it was poisonous, I would have been poisoned to death long ago." Ying Zheng laughed and looked at Zhao Feng as if he was an ignorant person.
"This is because the toxicity of this so-called elixir is not great, but if the king continues to take it like this, sooner or later the toxin will not be able to be suppressed." Zhao Feng looked at Ying Zheng speechlessly.
Is this kind intention being taken for granted?
No, or maybe it’s ignorance.
"You're talking a little serious, aren't you?"
Looking at Zhao Feng's serious expression, Ying Zheng also felt that it was not fake.
After all, he knew Zhao Feng very well.
"If Your Majesty really wants to die young, then continue to take it."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"If you want to live a hundred years, you'd better not take it." Zhao Feng said seriously.
I heard the words "died young".
Zhao Gao, who was standing by, was frightened and his face turned pale.
He also didn't expect that Zhao Feng would be so bold as to say such words in front of the king.
"What a courage."
"How dare he speak to the king like that."
Zhao Gao was secretly shocked and secretly glanced at Ying Zheng's expression, but what surprised Zhao Gao even more was that Ying Zheng did not show any anger, but his expression became serious.
"How do you prove it?" Ying Zheng asked seriously.
“It’s very simple.”
"Just find a rabbit and feed it a few elixirs. Soon the king will know whether it is poisonous or not."
"certainly."
"This cannot be seen in one day, it will take several days to see."
"After all, the toxin contained in a pill is not that strong, and a little bit of it adds up to a lot," said Zhao Feng.
Hearing this!
Ying Zheng nodded and immediately ordered Zhao Gao: "Go find two rabbits."
"promise."
Zhao Gao immediately walked down quickly to prepare.
"Is it really as serious as you say?"
Ying Zheng still looked at Zhao Feng with some suspicion.
"Then Your Majesty can continue eating." Zhao Feng glanced at him unhappily.
"Now that you put it that way, if I'm not sure, I wouldn't dare eat it." Ying Zheng immediately shook his head.
"Speaking of which."
"How many so-called alchemists does the king have in the palace?" Zhao Feng asked curiously.
When Han was destroyed in the past, many alchemists in the palace fled. The same thing happened after Zhao was destroyed. "Not many, only about a hundred people." Ying Zheng said calmly.
"How many pills has the king taken over the years?"
"One a day, nearly 400 a year, and this is just for refreshing." Zhao Feng looked at it strangely, and thought to himself: "No wonder Qin Shi Huang died in the sand dunes in history. He was over 50 years old, and he could live so long with such a diet. He is really lucky."
"However, if these pills are poisonous, then why are they so effective in refreshing the mind? Moreover, they have many magical powers and endless uses." Ying Zheng still didn't quite believe that the elixir was poisonous.
"Who is the chief alchemist of this palace?" Zhao Feng asked curiously again.
Because he thought of a person who had received mixed reviews in history, but who had a great influence on later generations and even affected the destiny of China.
"Chief Alchemist, Xu Fu."
"His alchemy skills are unparalleled in the world." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"It's him indeed."
"It was Xu Fu who frightened the Qin Shi Huangdi in history."
"He lied to Qin Shi Huang that he had the elixir of immortality, and then went looking for the fairy island of Penglai. In the end, it was because of him that the Japanese people had civilization, and ultimately brought disaster to China."
"This person really cannot be kept."
"only……"
When thinking of Xu Fu, Zhao Feng immediately thought of historical records.
Historically, there is a saying that Xu Fu was the first Emperor Jimmu of the Japanese people, but there is no doubt that it was because of Xu Fu that the Japanese people had civilization.
certainly.
At this moment, Zhao Feng’s focus was somewhat different.
"If this world is a historical world, then Xu Fu should be a deceiving alchemist. But if this world is not just a historical world, if it is a cultivation world, then does the Penglai Fairy Island exist?"
"After all, there is spiritual energy in this world, but there is no cultivation."
Zhao Feng couldn't help but think in his heart.
For Zhao Feng, his current strength is naturally not enough to explore such secrets.
As the Qin army went to war, Zhao Feng also traveled with the army across the country and visited many places, but he was the only martial artist and had never seen other practitioners. However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was real.
In a world with such spiritual energy, it is impossible that there are no cultivators. It’s just that they may not be in the land of China, or they may not be in the world of this level.
certainly.
This is Zhao Feng’s guess.
At this time, Zhao Gao had already come into the hall with two eunuchs, and each of them was holding a rabbit.
"Your Majesty."
"Two rabbits were caught from the palace."
Zhao Gao said respectfully.
Ying Zheng took a look and directly picked up a bottle of so-called refreshing elixir from the table and handed it to Zhao Gao.
"Two for one rabbit."
"No, three."
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"I obey your orders."
Zhao Gao immediately took the pill and gave it to two temple servants to feed.
soon.
The two rabbits were forcefully fed the pills, and they immediately became excited.
"It looks like nothing happened." Ying Zheng said, looking at the two rabbits.
"Your Majesty, please observe carefully for a few days before making any decision." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
It would be strange if this elixir was not poisonous.
"Find a cage for these two rabbits and put them in this palace and feed them well. I want to see if this elixir is poisonous or not." Ying Zheng said immediately.
"I obey your command." Zhao Gao responded immediately.
"I heard that your wife is pregnant again?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng with a smile.
"yes."
"Another month has passed."
"Your Majesty is not as good as me in this respect." Zhao Feng said with a very proud smile.
Upon hearing this household.
Zhao Gao's originally pale face turned even paler.
"How dare he say anything?"
Zhao Gao was shocked again.
"How am I inferior to you?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng in confusion.
"I only have one wife, and now she is pregnant for the second time. Your Majesty has countless concubines in the harem, but how many children do you have?"
"If I had as many children as the king, I would have hundreds of them already." Zhao Feng said with a proud smile.
Upon hearing this.
Ying Zheng understood instantly and scolded angrily: "You brat."
"I will leave for Zhao tomorrow. I'll have to trouble Your Majesty to take care of the mansion when I get there."
"As for my sister, I have already talked to Master Chen and asked her to study in the Great Medical Palace first and then join the army as a military doctor." Zhao Feng said with some pleading.
"Your sister is going to join the army?" Ying Zheng was slightly surprised.
"This is what she asked for. She said she wanted to save people."
"Of course I will help her." Zhao Feng said helplessly.
Ying Zheng also nodded in understanding.
On the last day of separation.
Zhao Feng was not in a hurry to leave Zhangtai Palace and continued to talk with Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng also rarely put down the memorial and continued the conversation.
Zhao Gao was completely shocked by Zhao Feng, because many of the ministers' words that were inappropriate were said by Zhao Feng, and the king clearly didn't care.
The two of them chatted about everything like friends.
This day also made Zhao Gao realize how high Zhao Feng's status was in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he made up his mind not to offend Zhao Feng, otherwise it would not only harm himself, but also Hu Hai.
…
evening!
A carriage stopped outside the Zhao Mansion.
The guards on duty at the gate stepped forward immediately.
"Who is coming?"
The guard asked in a very calm voice.
When he asked, the guards around him looked at him with caution.
For the personal guards, the defenses of the General's Mansion were naturally extremely strict.
The voice fell.
I saw two people getting off the carriage.
"Please pass on the message."
"Li Si and his son request to see the general." Li Si smiled and clasped his fists.
I heard the name Li Si.
The guard immediately understood and bowed, "It turns out to be the Lord of the Court. Please wait a moment."
Then he hurried to the mansion to report.
"Father."
"Is it a bit abrupt to come here to visit?"
Li You stood beside Li Si and asked with a little trepidation.
"Yuer."
"Dad has always taught you how to behave in society, but you haven't been involved much in officialdom or the court."
"This visit is, firstly, a visit on behalf of my father, and secondly, a visit as a subordinate."
"This ritual cannot be abolished."
"The future of the Li family lies in you." Li Si said in a teaching tone.
Li You nodded, not quite understanding.
At this time! "Tingwei."
"My general invites you."
The guard came out and spoke loudly.
Then.
The guards on duty made way.
"Thank you for your help."
Li Si thanked him and then took Li You towards Zhao's mansion.
In the main hall! Zhao Feng was already waiting inside.
