All the officials of the Qin State stood and raised their hands, speaking in unison, and the sound shook the whole country.
Including Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi, they all gave me face, although I don't know what they think in their hearts.
Lu Yan and Ying Zheng sat on their horses and walked slowly past.
The rear group of the iron cavalry became the front group, and they had reorganized in two breaths. The whole process was silent, the horses did not crow, and the sound of horse hooves was almost uniform.
Lu Yan was a little surprised: "This cavalry——"
Ying Zheng immediately stepped forward, turned his horse's head, and waved his hand, "What do you think of our dragon and tiger cavalry of Great Qin, sir?"
"Tai Gong said: There is no better way for a soldier than to be able to go alone and come back alone. The whole column of dragon and tiger cavalry looks like one person, they are indeed elite." Lu Yan caught up with his horse and praised him endlessly.
Jiang Ziya, the founder of military strategists in this world, legend has it that his military skills come from the Book of Heaven and are unpredictable by ghosts and gods.
Ying Zheng was naturally surprised after hearing this, "Tai Gong? Sir, you are also familiar with Tai Gong's art of war?"
Lu Yan let it slip for a moment. Of course what he read was not the Qin Dynasty version. He could only explain: "I have only heard rumors about Taigong's Art of War. What I read must have been forged by later generations. However, I have never been to the battlefield several times for things like marching and fighting."
, you are not qualified to say that you are good at fighting."
"What you said makes sense. It reminds me of Zhao Kuo back then."
"Zhao Kuo was indeed ridiculed by the world for talking about military affairs on paper. But this was also because of the general's helplessness. The country behind him was not called Qin."
"Yes, when the national strength of both countries cannot support it, our Qin country is still stronger than Zhao."
Unknowingly, the two of them were already some distance away from the officials. Ying Zheng slowed down his horse and said, "Today, Zhong's father, water conservator Zheng Guo, supplemented by the government's mechanical skills, is preparing to build a long canal to irrigate Guanzhong. This canal
If it succeeds, our country, Qin, will no longer have any worries."
The famous Zhengguo Canal in history was a water conservancy project that laid the foundation for Qin's unification. Coupled with the art of mechanical engineering, the picture is a bit unimaginable.
"Plumber Zheng Guo? How could South Korea have such a talent... Sigh~" Lu Yan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Sir, did you think of Han Fei?"
Ying Zheng seemed to have his own source of intelligence, and actually knew about the relationship between Zheng Guo and Han Fei. Unfortunately, Lu Yan was not thinking about it at the time and did not discover this detail.
He nodded, his tone a little low, "Yes, Zheng Guo is an old friend of Han Fei. It's really hard for me to believe that such a trick came from my senior brother."
However, Ying Zheng became high-spirited and said in a somewhat disdainful tone, "If he continues to play the game of building a house on quicksand in Korea, then the time he wants to fight for will be meaningless at all."
Not long ago, you two hit it off like old friends, why is this happening now?
Lu Yan asked: "The king doesn't think highly of Han Fei?"
"I do think highly of his talents, but my husband said something that made me see Han Fei's weaknesses clearly."
"What?"
"The law is guaranteed by the coercive force of the state. And Han Fei is just the ninth son. His country is not the soil for his survival. I feel sad for him."
"Yes, this is indeed sad."
In the front, Lu Yan and Ying Zheng were chatting happily, but in the back, there were many officials who were dissatisfied with Lu Yan.
"You are a rude boy with a yellow mouth. He has a false name but does not live up to his name. He is really abominable!"
"When the king comes to meet you ten miles away, do you really think that you are the master of the Qin Dynasty? You are not overestimating your own capabilities."
"Humph, if you are such a beautiful tree in the forest, I am afraid that you will become a rotten tree and a rotten branch, which will be destroyed by the wind."
"Shu Zi, do you really think that I, Qin Ting, is someone you, the scholars of the Six Kingdoms, can step on whenever you want?! I want you to look good tomorrow."
Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi, who were at the top of the crowd, were not angry at all and were calm and a bit depressed.
In this way, the team returned to Xianyang with a happy conversation at the front and haze at the back.
That night, when Ying Zheng was sitting in the palace reading official documents, he felt a little irritable.
He threw the bamboo slips in his hand together and said, "Another one! Which one is this?"
The eunuch rolled up the bamboo slips and replied: "Your Majesty, this is the eighteenth person."
"Eighteen, I just welcomed Mr. back, and I can't wait any longer." Ying Zheng sneered, and then asked Ge Nie behind him: "How is Mr.?"
Although Gai Nie is only Ying Zheng's personal bodyguard, in fact, there are not many things in the palace that can escape him. He replied: "I have been locked up in the palace all the time, so I probably never sleep."
"Okay, when the "Qin Dictionary" comes out, let me see who else dares to oppose Sir, the master of the Qin Dynasty."
"Qin Dictionary" was part of Lu Yan's early plan. With his current accumulation, it is no longer difficult to compile such a reputation-harvesting book.
What's more, there are more than ten subordinates in the palace. These people have received many years of training, and the extent to which Qin's writing has developed can be reflected in their writings.
Lu Yan is in the palace at the moment, and he is still a little confused. What should I do with this person who has such good calligraphy and is also called Zhao Gao?
"Your name is Zhao Gao?"
"Yes, sir, if you have anything to ask, I will tell you."
Zhao Gao was tall, with a fair complexion, and his hands were slim and slender. Lu Yan could tell from his writing that he had a strong inner strength.
"Your internal strength is pretty good. Does the Qin Palace's selection of Lingshi still require martial arts assessment?"
"Sir, the history student really needs to practice martial arts. The slave's qualifications are acceptable, and he is lucky enough to succeed in his studies."
Lu Yan didn't ask any more questions. How was Zhao Gao? It had nothing to do with his current mission.
"You are first-class, and you will be my deputy."
Zhao Gao lowered his head and responded: "Yes."
…
"According to the king's order, we will rush 800 miles and send it to all counties and counties."
"According to the king's order, we will rush 800 miles and send it to all counties and counties."
At nine o'clock on that day, countless fast horses rushed out from Xianyang, attracting the garrisoned black-armored soldiers to look over frequently.
"What's going on today? There are so many urgent needs."
"I have counted more than a hundred. Moreover, they are all the dragon and tiger cavalry of the king's royal guards."
"It's really incredible. Hey~ I heard that there is still a commotion in the court about that Lu Yan these days."
"I heard people say that this man is relying on his reputation to not take Qin seriously. Now, many doctors and Yilang are scolding him."
"Then why didn't Mr. Lu Xiang deal with this matter?"
"After all, it was the king who invited him back -"
"Baichang is here, hush~"
The conversation between two soldiers is just a microcosm. The current King of Qin, Ying Zheng, has not had a strong presence in the eyes of the Qin people since he succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen.
There have been too many troubles this year.
The attack on Zhao was defeated, Cheng Xi rebelled, and Fan Yuqi defected.
The envoy was killed, the King of Qin invaded Korea, and Wang Jie rebelled.
The King of Qin first traveled thousands of miles to enter South Korea alone, and was greeted by hundreds of officials traveling thousands of miles away. However, Lu Yan did not show up for more than ten days.
The officials were furious, and the people of Qin also thought this was outrageous.
Early morning at the palace
Ying Zheng was tired of hearing people criticizing Lu Yan in the imperial court these days. These doctors and counselors were still not very good at writing, and they repeated their curses, which was too boring.
But today is different.
The officials stood in rows and found that Ying Zheng was in a very high mood today.
Sharp people already know that the matter regarding Lu Yan will have a result today.
A group of waiters filed in, holding bamboo slips in their hands, and stood in a line in front of the hall.
"Sir, he has been sleeping and sleeping for more than ten days in a row. He has never even seen me. This is where he is in retreat. Please wait and see."
Ying Zheng sat in his seat, gestured to the officials with his hands, and spoke in a pleasant manner, but it made the listeners feel a little trembling.
Gangchengjun Cai Ze was the first to stand up and picked up a roll of bamboo slips neatly. After scanning it, he was so distracted that he almost lost his grip.
"This, this is...all of them?"
Trembling, he grabbed a roll from a waiter, glanced at it, and grabbed another...
When the officials saw Cai Ze's reaction, they were as crazy as if they were mad. People who had been scolding Lu Yan before felt that something was wrong.
Xiong Qi picked up the scroll that Cai Ze had left behind, looked at several columns carefully, and sighed, "Your Majesty, where is Lu Zi?"
Cai Ze also reacted and echoed: "Yes, yes, where is Lu Zi?"
Ying Zheng looked at Cai Ze and Xiong Qi without saying anything, "Sir, you have put in a lot of effort and have gone back home to rest."
At this time, a doctor shouted: "As soon as this volume comes out, Lu Zi will be worthy of the name of the national teacher!"
A man standing next to him held a bamboo slip and came forward and said, "Yes, I thought Lu Zi was just trying to gain fame and reputation, but I really treated him with a villain's heart. I apologize."
Someone opened the door, and a group of people stood out from Ulala in front of the palace, "I apologize."
First, the "Three Character Classic" was passed down orally, and then there was the "Qin Dictionary". Lu Yan gained fame among the Qin people, and coupled with the momentum among hundreds of schools, the name of the national master was a foregone conclusion.
Xiong Qi looked at Lu Buwei, the leader of the ministers, and narrowed his eyes.
The pressure from Lao Ai, the pressure from the king, what are you going to do...
