Chapter 189 Deadly seal the marquis, escape Qin alive.
Time is like running water.
Half a month passed. Due to the long-term depletion of energy and spirit, Zheng Guo fell ill when he returned to Xianyang. The King of Qin placed him in Xianyang Palace to rest.
With the presence of the Imperial Medical Office of the Qin Dynasty, it can naturally ensure that Zheng Guo's condition improves to the greatest extent.
Regarding the Zheng clan members in Korea, neither Ying Zheng nor Li Si mentioned it. They were banned. They all knew that this incident was a huge blow to Zheng Guo.
Everything will go well until Zheng Guo gets better!
This incident was like a huge stone weighing on everyone's heart, making it impossible to breathe. The ten-year diversion project to Jing was completed, and the 800-mile Qinchuan River became a fertile land.
Naturally, the old Qin people no longer had any doubts about Zheng Guo, and all they had was awe and gratitude.
It is for this reason that it is unimaginable that both the monarchs and ministers of the Qin Dynasty and the people of the Qin Dynasty attached great importance to Zheng Guo.
The events that happened in Korea had already been blocked by Ying Zheng's order and were not allowed to spread among the people, because the monarchs and ministers of Qin all knew that once this news got out, it would not only be a huge blow to Zheng Guo.
It will also make the old Qin people angry, especially the old Qin people in Guanzhong. If Zheng Guo gives them a chance to survive, they will definitely be furious and the three armies will fight.
Once the situation becomes tense and the three armies ask for war, and the people of the country are united, they will have to fight even if they do not want to disappoint the people of the country.
This would inevitably break the strategic plan of the Qin monarchs and ministers.
At this moment, dark clouds were gathering over the entire Qin court. From the King of Qin down to every official who knew about this, they were extremely angry.
The methods of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong are too despicable!
It's just that if this matter is not resolved, it will always be a heartache. It not only hurts the state of Zheng all the time, but also hurts the king of Qin and other people in the Qin Dynasty.
It is obvious that the Six Kingdoms of Shandong did this to oppress the Qin Dynasty.
…
"Li Si, please go to Zheng Guo to inquire about the situation. Meng Tian will also immediately enter Korea as an envoy to negotiate with the king of Korea."
In the study, Ying Zheng's eyes were as bright as a torch. For him, Zheng Guo had made great achievements. If the meritorious officials could not be fully integrated, it would be a shame for him.
"promise."
Li Si and Meng Tian nodded one after another. These two matters are of great importance and must be implemented as soon as possible to solve all the troubles before Zheng Guo gets better.
…
Li Si left the study and went to Zheng Guo's residence. In order to make Zheng Guo recover as soon as possible, Ying Zheng arranged for Zheng Guo to live in Xianyang Palace.
After all, the Imperial Medical Office is in the palace, so everything will be more convenient and smoother.
At this moment, Li Si quickly walked into the palace.
Li Si had previously been somewhat disapproving of Zheng Guo, but when the Jingshui Project was completed, he belatedly discovered that Zheng Guo, who was usually taciturn, was actually one of the best hydraulic engineers of this era.
…
"It has been almost a month since I returned to Xianyang. Summer planting has ended, and all the cumbersome things in Xianyang have been settled!"
Li Si looked at Zheng Guo, explained with a chuckle, and said: "The king only said at the court meeting that when Datian Ling recovers, he will hold a court meeting with important ministers to discuss future political strategies."
"Why!"
Hearing this, Zheng Guo's face not only showed no joy at all, but was filled with solemnity and guilt: "Your Majesty, this is hard for me to do!"
"Brother, what do you say? What's wrong with you?" Li Si frowned and couldn't help but said to Zheng Guo.
"You and I are both from Shandong, and I have nothing to do with you!" Zheng Guo's face was calm, even a little numb at this moment, and he said: "When the king of Han sent me to Qin, he made a three-part agreement with me: Weary Qin will not be able to make a canal.
If you die and become a marquis, you will escape from Qin alive."
"I promised King Han!"
"Tired of Qin?" Li Si's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but look towards Zheng Guo and said.
"Yes. Let Qin's national power be maimed on the river canal, and the national power will be exhausted and unable to go eastward!" Zheng Guo's tone was faint, and there was no desire to live in his expression.
"Then, if we don't make it, how about reconciliation?"
Hearing this, Zheng Guo took a deep breath and explained to Li Si: "The entire Jing Diversion Project can only be caused by bad canals, leaks and collapses, flooding farmland, and making the Jing Canal a flood hazard."
"Death title?"
"If this plan is discovered by the Qin State and I am killed, the Han State will grant me the title of Marquis and feed 30,000 households."
Li Si's face became more and more ugly. He felt that escaping Qin alive was not a good thing. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but said.
"What does it mean to escape Qin alive?"
…
When the conversation ended, Li Si was shocked by King Han's shamelessness. Facing a peerless plumber, he actually acted like this, which made Li Si angry.
And at this time, Li Si just understood why Zheng Guo kept a straight face and kept a serious expression. All this was because he was depressed and too depressed.
…
"Brother, please be patient. Your Majesty has sent General Meng Tian to Korea. Now that the Qin Dynasty is powerful, there may be something he can do!" Li Si pondered for a moment and then admonished Zheng Guo.
He would never let Zheng Guo leave Qin. Once Zheng Guo entered South Korea, he would definitely die.
…
"Your Majesty, Ling Datian wants to return to his country to apologize and ask the King of Han to forgive his people!" Li Si walked into the study room of Xianyang Palace, his eyes still filled with waiting anger.
"Why do you need to apologize?"
Ying Zheng was full of confusion and couldn't help but said to Li Si.
"Your Majesty, the State of Zheng..."
Li Si explained something to Ying Zheng. Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with coldness. He did not expect that things were actually like this.
"If this thing hadn't happened, no matter whether Zheng Guo returned to his homeland or traveled around the world, even if he was reluctant to leave him, he would still give him a big gift in order to fulfill the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers."
Ying Zheng's face was full of cold and serious expressions, and he said word by word: "But now that the King of Han and the six Shandong countries are aggressive, how can I let Zheng Guo enter Han?"
"Don't mention this again!"
Ying Zheng stared at Li Si with burning eyes and said, "We won't talk about anything else until Meng Tian returns!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Li Si turned and left. At this moment, he felt Ying Zheng moving forward. He knew in his heart that if the King of Han objected, a war would be inevitable.
At this thought, Li Si felt more in awe of the King of Qin, and his sense of belonging to the Qin Dynasty suddenly strengthened.
…
Half a month later, Meng Tian returned.
When he returned to Xianyang, Meng Tian didn't even return home, so he went directly to Xianyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, the King of Han did not want to let me go. He bluntly said that he wanted to discuss it with the family, and he even made me hang out in Xinzheng for three days!"
"King Han is looking for death!"
With an angry roar, Ying Zheng stood up from the throne and said in a cold tone: "Zhao Gao, it is said that the young master is high!"
"promise."
In Ying Zheng's view, Gongzi Gao was more suitable for a mission than Meng Tian, and Gongzi Gao had once been on a mission to Korea. Now that Meng Tian's mission failed, he should also prepare for war.
