Chapter 22 Calling the World Weapon Masters
Ou Yeqing was so depressed that he wished he could hit him to death, but he was unwilling to do so. He cursed: "It's not that I want to die intentionally, I am not allowed to do it because of the ancestral teachings, and the mistake is not all because of..." Before he finished,
As if he was explaining to himself and comforting himself, he turned around and saw that the culprit had already sat down and did not listen to him at all. At this time, Ou Yeqing wanted to strangle Yu Liao to death, and with tears streaming down his face, he directed at Yu
He yelled: "Come here, and argue with me again! Come here!" It's like when children are fighting, the losing party is unwilling to be shameless and yells: "Come here, come here, come again."
The person who responded to the furious Ou Yeqing was not Yu Liao, but Ying Zheng, who had been silent for a long time. "If you don't follow this, this person will live, and everyone will live! If you don't follow this, this person will die, and you will all die!" His voice was cold.
Listening to the angry Ou Yeqing's ears, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head. He immediately shivered and regained some sense. Ying Zheng was sitting in the main seat. Although he didn't say a word, he was full of momentum.
It was so strong that no one could ignore it. Although he had quarreled with Yu Liao before, his attention was still on Ying Zheng. Now he turned around and could see the coldness on the young king's face and the look in his eyes.
Murderous intent, what he said is true!
It was about the lives of dozens of members of his family. When Ou Yeqing was told by damned Yu Liao, he really hesitated because he didn't want his whole family to die. His grandson was still so young, no older than his old bones. After years of
Wheel, no rebirth and death, how could he bear the heart to let his children and grandchildren die, and Ou Ye's family has no heirs from now on? Ou Yeqing secretly cursed the old man Yu Liao for saying that he was so uneasy that he was not determined to die, but in fact he lost most of his life.
! A person like the King of Qin could make Wang Jian, a cunning and shameless person, loyal to him. I thought that this person was extraordinary. Seeing how decisive he was in killing when he spoke, I was even more afraid that my whole family would be harmed because of my momentary quarrel.
He died unexpectedly, and there was a middle-aged man standing nearby. Even if he dared to decide the life and death of the Ouye family, why would he bother others?
Ou Yeqing couldn't make up his mind. Ying Zheng didn't push him, but his eyes were cold. After a while, the old man probably wasn't willing to give in. He laughed twice and said, "What does this person have to do with you? Does the King of Qin want to kill innocent people indiscriminately?"
"Killing a family is killing, killing one person is killing, so why not?" Ying Zheng smiled. Although he has a reputation now, this reputation is not a method that restricts him. He is not really an impulsive person in his twenties.
If he lived another life, Ou Yeqing's motivating methods might be effective if applied to a young king in his twenties who was eager for talents, but it would have no effect on him. Sometimes fame is more important than real benefits.
He knows which side is most important to him!
Ou Yeqing felt a chill in his heart, but the middle-aged man on the other end was a little embarrassed, with a face full of shame: "Mr. Qing, you are useless." Ou Yeqing's head was filled with questions. Wang Jian felt happy when he saw that this arrogant and rude old man suffered a loss.
, kindly explained: "This person assassinated the king and wanted to save the husband and his family. He thought he had a big connection with the king, and he didn't even care about his life. The king is benevolent and righteous, and he didn't care about this person. He kindly brought people to reunite with the husband and his family!" As for this!
It is Ou Yeqing's own choice to reunite alive or to go to hell together to meet and enjoy each other.
In fact, at this time, Ou Yeqing also knew that the Ou Ye family had no choice, but he refused to say the words of agreement. At this time, hearing that this middle-aged man risked his life to save himself and others, he was moved. Although he
He has a bad temper, but he values friendship and uprightness. A middle-aged man is willing to risk his life, and he is not ignorant of good people. He agrees with most of them, but he can't care about his face: "If a certain person is willing to be sent by the king,
Can you let this person live?"
Seeing that he still had a resentful tone, Ying Zheng knew that he was unwilling to take advantage of the stairs and wanted to go down, so he couldn't help but smile: "That's natural." The old man had a child-like temperament, and he was willing, but he insisted on it.
Acting like he is being forced is just being a bad person. If he can get a whole family of people to use to him, Ying Zheng will naturally be willing to fulfill his wish and make him stay willingly!
"Alas! The situation is over. In this case, Ou Yeqing is willing to serve the king. He only hopes that the king will be kind. If the Ou Ye family is useless, let the veteran live a life!" The situation is stronger than the people. There is Ying Zheng's oppression outside and Yu Liao's words inside.
To be honest, Ou Yeqing was forced to do this because he had no choice but to die, and he couldn't retreat, and he couldn't retreat. Apart from following Ying Zheng's will, what other options are there?
"Mr. Qing's move is a wise choice. If he is loyal, the government will not burn bridges by crossing rivers. You can rest assured!" Ying Zheng saw that Ou Yeqing had surrendered, and signaled the soldiers to loosen the bonds of Ou Yeqing's family. Ou Yeqing rubbed them
Looking at his arms that were tied almost without feeling, he saw Wang Jian smiling beside him, and suddenly felt that it was too hasty for him to agree so easily. He was so ashamed that he had just been spared by Yu Liao, an old man, that he forgot to give his opinion.
.When he thought of this, Ou Yeqing regretted greatly and suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Ying Zheng frowned, and there was impatience in his eyes. When Ou Yeqing saw something bad, he quickly rubbed his wrist with the purple rope mark twice, pointed at Wang Jian and said angrily: "This man is so rude to my old minister.
I ask your Majesty to make the decision for me!" What actually made him heartbroken was that some of the weapons passed down by the Ouye family for more than a hundred years were all exquisite. If they were a little inferior, they would not have been collected by the ancestors for so many years.
The existence of family heirlooms, but when they met Wang Jian, a man who wore sheep's clothing but was actually as cunning as a fox, the Ouye family's collection for many years was completely wiped out!
Needless to say, these things have now been put into the Yingzheng treasury. If they don't come back, Ou Yeqing can't help but gasp in pain when he thinks about it. If they don't come back, they can't keep these things even if they die.
Although Ou Yeqing can understand this truth, the old man has been stubborn all his life, but he may not be able to figure it out. Especially Wang Jian's gangster-like behavior makes him feel angry when he thinks about it. It is not Ou Ye's family to suffer a loss and admit defeat.
This is why I wanted to teach Wang Jian a lesson.
"What's so difficult about this?" Ying Zhengfei's slanted eyebrows moved slightly and he stood up: "How are you doing, sir?"
Ou Yeqing thought about the treatment he had received along the way. This boy Wang Jian was not a good person, and his methods were bad, but he did not harm his own life. Although his attitude was disrespectful, he could only give a small punishment, and he could not hurt others.
Otherwise, if I and others are new here, if I really want to get rid of this person, even if the King of Qin agrees, there will inevitably be a gap in my heart. What's more, he is not someone who cares about human life. He is unwilling to let Wang Jian go easily, and he can't kill him. He just wants him to eat.
Just suffer a little! Ou Yeqing made up his mind and pointed at Wang Jian: "Ten army sticks, I wonder if your Majesty is willing to part with them?" As he said this, he looked at Ying Zheng with some provocation. Although he was forced to agree to stay, Ou Yeqing was forced to agree to stay.
The Ye family must have a lot of resentment in their hearts. Since Wang Jian was sent by Ying Zheng to arrest him and others, it must be Ying Zheng's intention. The Ten Army's stick is no longer light. I'm afraid he will have to lie in bed for ten and a half days. I originally thought that Ying Zheng
If he didn't agree, he followed the trend and said that five sticks would be enough. Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng agreed immediately: "In that case, it's as you wish!"
Wang Jian cupped his hands and walked towards the outside. As he walked, he untied the jade belt around his waist. When he walked outside, his upper body was already naked. Ou Yeqing was stunned for a moment. Seeing Ying Zheng agreeing so happily, he felt quite a bit like himself.
Did he feel like he had fallen into a trap? He originally thought it was just for show, but when Ying Zheng led the people out, he saw two soldiers holding thick wooden sticks about the height of a man. Someone had already slapped Wang Jian hard on the back.
superior!
"Bang"! There was a loud noise, and Wang Jian's body bounced quickly, and a huge purple blood mark appeared on his back. The force of this move was not small. No one expected that Ying Zheng would actually do it as he said, and they were shocked. Even the self-proclaimed
Seeing this scene, the Ouye family, who were not afraid of death, couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. The middle-aged man knew Wang Jian's skills. Such a powerful person, but now Ying Zheng would hit him whenever he asked, and Wang Jian was very loyal to Ying Zheng.
, he was scolded in public. Wasn't it a joke that he just said he wanted to cut himself alive? When he thought of this, even though the middle-aged man was extremely timid, he couldn't help shaking his body and his face turned red.
Qingbai subconsciously stood further away from Ying Zheng, with a look of respect on his face.
Wang Jian was willing to accept the blame, but in the eyes of the Ouye family and other people who didn't know what was going on, they only thought that Ying Zheng would do what he said, and that the king's orders were like a mountain and that no one could disobey him! Yu Liao stroked his chest-long beard, his eyes
He glanced at Ying Zheng with a deep smile, then lowered his eyelids.
When Wang Jian was tortured with five sticks, his back was already bloody and bloody. Ou Yeqing's face showed a look of intolerance. He just wanted to tease Wang Jian, not his life. If Wang Jian really did this because of him, wouldn't he be carrying a scar on his body?
Guilt? Although the old man has a bad temper, he still thinks that he has never done anything wrong in his life. Now when he saw Wang Jian being beaten and thought that he saved his life, his conscience was disturbed. However, he was so honorable that he punished him with ten sticks.
What he said was what he said. Ying Zheng was just venting his anger for him. If he spoke, wouldn't he be slapping himself? Ou Yeqing suppressed his uneasiness and rubbed his hands. When he hit the seventh stick, he saw that Wang Jian's face turned pale.
His forehead was covered with sweat, he bit his lips, and his face was ferocious, but he endured it without shouting out pain or begging for mercy. I couldn't help but admire this person in my heart. People with a tough character are the easiest to deal with.
The meaning of cherishing each other in life.
Ou Yeqing endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold it back and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am old and very confused. I only wanted to give this man five strokes with the stick as a punishment, and did not intend to kill him. The remaining three
Why don't we just let it go!" He didn't realize that when he spoke, his voice became much lower and his attitude became much more respectful. It was obvious that Wang Jian's incident had greatly frightened him, and he was already timid towards Ying Zheng.
Knowing that, Yu Liao saw it and gained a new understanding of Yingzheng's methods. Wang Jian's being blamed seemed to calm the resentment of all parties and the ending was happy for everyone. In fact, everyone was beaten one by one. This can be seen from Ou Yeqing's attitude.
Come out, this old man is not afraid of anything, and now he is willing to lower his body to ask for peace. He is really afraid of Yingzheng's methods. In the end, everyone is calculated and everyone is in the game, but the final beneficiary is
Only Ying Zheng has won the hearts of the Ouye family and used thunderous means to frighten everyone. The effect has already been achieved.
Ying Zheng sneered and condescended: "Since Zheng has spoken out, how can he give up halfway?" Wang Jian was still being punished with ten army sticks. No matter how good his health was, when he came down with ten sticks, it was like being fished out of the water.
Someone helped him up.
Seeing Wang Jian like this, Ou Yeqing felt quite guilty and rarely said a word.
This matter has come to an end. Due to the status of the Ouye family, in order to avoid causing disputes, the Ouye family has not been given official positions for the time being. Ou Yeqing has no objection to this. For them, making swords and weapons is what they want. As for the
In their eyes, reputation is just a cloud. As soon as the Ouye family came, Ying Zheng had a vague idea of building a weapons workshop. Ouye Shiai was very skilled in craftsmanship, and everyone was very knowledgeable about the art of making swords.
I have some experience, but in the past few decades, it is still quite insufficient to forge weapons that can be used in almost the entire Qin State. Recruiting apprentices for the Ouye family in order to retain talents is an urgent matter.
Regarding this matter, Ou Yeqing had no objections and just said: "Even though the craftsmanship of the descendants of the veteran minister and others are not as good as those of the ancestors, it is not the boast of the veteran minister. Compared with others, they are still superior. If the king does not dislike it and recruits many disciples,
Why don't we leave it to the descendants of the old ministers? I wonder what your Majesty would like?" He cherishes his broom very much and is unwilling to pass on his skills to anyone other than his descendants. It is also a good idea. After all, the situation is like this at this time. The skills passed down from ancestors have never been passed down.
Outsiders, Ying Zheng also understood him and did not force him. Anyway, the Ou Ye family's brand name was enough to attract craftsmen from all over the world. What's more, if a bad-tempered old man like Ou Yeqing had his way, it would not be that difficult for him.
Getting along with each other, and being able to agree to teach others, the old man felt that he was already at a disadvantage. With his strong character, it was impossible for him to take another step back, so Ying Zheng agreed.
Wei Zhe and others were summoned to discuss it. On the second day, the Qin State issued a list, to the effect that it wanted to recruit people who had special talents in making swords or bronzes. Some experienced coppersmiths were
This person is also summoned to Xianyang to serve the King of Qin!
As soon as this article came out, the state of Qin was in an uproar! At this time, many people in Qin secretly murmured, and many people were panicked. After all, since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there has always been a saying of burying living people, and this is almost necessary.
The craftsmen and artists who worked for the kings and princes rarely returned them intact. Usually, when they were working for the princes, their bones were buried unknowingly in the place where they had worked hard all their lives! Many people even though
You don’t say it on the surface, but you know in your heart that working for the king is almost life-or-death! The king will not let anyone who knows his secrets and understands the craftsmanship and ability alive except the king! This is
Unwritten rule!
At this time, the King of Qin wanted to summon people to the Xianyang Forge Weapons Factory. Wouldn’t it be true that the people who went there were like meat buns beating dogs, and they would never come back? Thinking about this, many people had the intention of retreating. Not every craftsman was willing to do so.
He was as determined as the master swordsmith Ou Yejia who was not afraid of death. For a time, many bronze workshops in the Qin State were closed. The people of the Qin State also complained about this. Many people were waiting to see Ying Zheng's joke in private.
When Wei Zhe, Meng Ao and others entered the palace to discuss the matter with Ying Zheng, they were all very worried. Although they had different schools of thought, almost all of them had almost the same views on treating common people, that is:
He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world! If he loses the hearts of the people, I am afraid that Ying Zheng’s reputation will inevitably be criticized. At this time, those who are qualified to sit in the hall are all Ying Zheng’s confidants. It can almost be said that the friendship between the monarch and his ministers is extremely deep.
This incident has little impact on everyone, but Wei Zhe and others are afraid that if this continues, Yingzheng will have a bad reputation, which will hinder the world in the future! The majority in the world are still common people. If they are determined to resist, even if they resist
Qin's troops could destroy the six kingdoms, but Ying Zheng could not rule the world!
"Your Majesty, there used to be thirty sword-making workshops in Xianyang, but now that the list has been published, almost all of them have disappeared. Now it has affected the common people's farming and caused widespread resentment. I hope your Majesty will think twice about this matter!" Wei Zhe said!
At this time, he had thought about it again and again, but the words he said still did not sound pleasant. He had also been in charge of domestic trivial matters. Although he now left these matters to Han Fei, it did not mean that he was indifferent to this matter.
He had no idea that the consequences of this would be extremely serious. Wei Zhe knew Ying Zheng's temperament. Although he was a bit cold and stern, he was not headstrong and unwilling to listen to others' advice. Moreover, he was wholeheartedly planning for Ying Zheng, so naturally he was not optimistic about this situation.
, and was afraid that Ying Zheng would go his own way, so he opened his mouth to dissuade him.
Originally, building a weapons workshop was a great thing for the Qin State, but the craftsmen and civilians all over the world were wary of and even dissatisfied with the actions of kings throughout the ages. Naturally, the difficulty of this matter was
As you can imagine, Ou Yeqing grinned. Although he was working for Ying Zheng, he still had some knots in his heart. Now that he saw Ying Zheng eating turtles, he couldn't help but gloat about his misfortune. However, since Ying Zheng had great prestige, he didn't dare to laugh out loud.
Come on, it's just that the pride is evident, and everyone can see it.
"My lord, I think there is no way to solve this matter!" The one who spoke was Han Fei, who was usually silent. He has now taken over Wei Zhe's affairs, so he has opinions on this matter, and everyone is listening attentively.
When Han Fei saw everyone's eyes falling on him, including Li Si's, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and his voice stuttered a little: "I think that in order to solve the bell, the bell must be tied, man, this matter,
It's the world's master forging who refuses to trust the king. It's just that they don't know the king's character and have some misunderstandings." When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, but Han Fei became even more nervous. Ying Zhengwen nodded at him:
"What the court minister said is absolutely true. In your opinion, I don't know how to handle this matter?"
Ying Zheng often discusses current affairs with Han Fei, and usually doesn't care about his stuttering. On the contrary, he is very patient. Han Fei's stuttering is mostly just a knot in his mind. Now he can speak much more smoothly, but today
Under the attention of everyone, he just fell into his old habit again. At this time, he was encouraged by Ying Zheng, his heart was stirred, and his voice gradually became smoother: "I think this matter is just a knot among the people of the world. If it is a knot in the heart,
Once eliminated, the matter will naturally be solved! And the key to the matter lies in the fear and uneasiness among the bronze masters. If the king can get rid of this inner demon, once the master master is willing to be used by the king, the commoner rumors will naturally be broken.
