Hearing this, Han Fei was startled for a moment, then recalled a promise bound by an oath.
"If one day, South Korea takes the initiative to abandon you, and your father takes the initiative to send you to another country as a minister and does not allow you to return to the country, then I want you to be loyal to that country sincerely. Can you do it?"
not good!
Although Han Fei is not pragmatic enough in politics, his wisdom is genuine.
In just a moment, he understood.
Looking at Zhang Ji, for the first time, there was fear and fear for a person in his eyes.
Anyone who seeks people must be good at planning.
He was actually planning this a year ago?
Han Fei didn't think that Zhang Ji's initial request for him to make such a promise was just an unintentional move. At least after Ying Zheng publicized Zhang Ji's many plans for the Hezong War, people in the world had a more "forsighted" impression of Zhang Ji. word.
Han Fei had reason to suspect that Zhang Ji had already thought of today's situation.
If in the past, he could not open up a situation in South Korea, he would naturally not mind joining Qin.
But today is different from the past. Under his arrangement, Wei Zhuang became Sili, in charge of 1,200 Sili Mansion Guards with law enforcement powers. The army also had the help of Li Kai, the re-activated right Sima. In the political world, he himself was a Sikou, in charge of the judicial power of South Korea, and he also had Zhang Liang, an emissary, beside Han Wangan to help him.
He does not feel that he and Ye Mu have no competitive capital. If Ye Mu is solved earlier, South Korea may still have a chance to lick its wounds and restore its national strength.
But there are some things that he cannot control, even if it is his own fate.
"The Qin envoy came to Korea just because of Han Fei?"
Zhang Ji narrowed his eyes and suddenly raised his head to look at Han Wangan.
Listening to this, it seems that I am going to be short?
Han Fei looked at Han Wangan with complicated eyes.
He could understand Han Wangan's surprise. This was human nature and anyone would be surprised. After all, it was somewhat unbelievable to go on a mission just for one person.
But no matter how surprised you are, you shouldn't blurt it out in front of the audience. Doesn't this expose your bottom line in negotiations?
"Nature is more than that."
Zhang Ji walked up the pole and looked at Han Wangan with feigned anger: "Does the King of Han think that Qin can be bullied?"
"South Korea invited Zheng Guo, a great sage from the Han Dynasty, to come to Qin to build canals, implement a plan to weaken Qin, and also participated in a joint attack on Qin. Could it be that they felt that the Qin people had lost their blood and forgotten this hatred?"
"My king asked for Han Fei. Firstly, he respected his talent. The book "Five Beetles" is enough to show his talent; secondly, he was grateful for his kindness. In the past, my king secretly went to Xinzheng to recruit. Although Han Fei did not accept it, he protected me. The king fled Xinzheng and returned to Qin..."
Before Zhang Ji finished speaking, Han Fei's face became more and more ugly. Han Wangan also looked ashen as a pot, his face turned black with anger, and his hands full of fat were clenched. Even many courtiers in the court looked at Han Fei. Fei's eyes were also quite unkind.
Help King Qin escape Xinzheng?
You, Han Fei, are so generous!
Countries all over the world have unspoken rules against assassinating their kings, but that means not sending assassins to kill them.
If the opponent's king takes the initiative to send it to you, or if you meet on the battlefield, and you still show mercy, you are a fool!
And Han Fei is that idiot!
If Ying Zheng had been caught at that time, not to mention whether so many things would have happened later, at least the Qin State would not have been stable and would have fallen into civil strife, and South Korea would have had a chance to breathe.
And if we can carry out Cao GUI's deeds and coerce Ying Zheng to occupy the Korean lands in the past, such as the dangerous Shangdang, the wealthy Yewang, Korea's former arsenal and western barrier Yiyang, and even return to the land of Han Zhaohou at his peak!
If he could return to Korea of that period, Han Wang An would dare to have the idea of reviving Korea.
But Han Fei actually...!
Almost everyone looked at Han Fei with extremely unkind eyes. Even Li Kai, the Right Sima who belonged to Han Fei's faction, and the Prime Minister Kaifang Kaidi, who was close to Han Fei, had some reproach on their faces.
Han Fei shook his head. The bloody spirit of the Qin people was indelible. Even if the Qin State was destroyed because of this, he would fight back before his death and kill the enemy South Korea.
What will happen to South Korea then?
But he is not allowed to defend himself at this moment, and... I'm afraid no one will listen to his defense.
Han Fei looked at Zhang Ji with a wry smile, obviously this was the effect he wanted.
Regardless of whether his father will sell his son, he will lose the hearts of the people in Korea.
Zhang Ji paused and winked slightly at Han Fei: "Thirdly, my king wants to make peace with South Korea."
"How to fix it?"
Han Wangan asked quickly, thinking about which piece of land should be cut to feed Qin and revise the alliance with it.
If Qin really cannot be fed, then... Honglian should finally fulfill her obligations as a Korean princess.
"If you accept the imperial seal, please become a vassal minister."
Zhang Ji calmly said this big word that was enough to make the Korean court explode.
Accepting the imperial seal and requesting him to be a vassal vassal means that Korea will cede land to Qin. Even Han Wangan's Hanwang seal will be given to Ying Zheng, and then he will surrender to Qin and become a vassal of Qin.
"The envoy of Qin is not afraid of death?"
Ji Wuye pressed the eight-foot sword on his waist. The last defeat had worn away his pride, but it did not make him lose his blood.
"Fear." Zhang Ji calmly spit out this unexpected answer.
"Who is not afraid of death? I am about to get married to my lovely wife and concubine, and I don't even have any children, so I am naturally afraid of death."
"Everyone is afraid of death, it's human nature."
Zhang Ji waved his hand, then turned around to look at all the Han ministers. His gentle smile made them tremble and fear: "The richer the person, the more afraid of death they are. They can't let go of enjoying the rich life and worry about their own wealth." If you can’t pass it on to your descendants, you can’t bear to part with the wonderful taste of the world.”
"My lords, is it true what I said?"
All the Han ministers whispered in agreement, Zhang Ji's words simply spoke to their hearts.
The destruction of Korea was a matter of Han Wangan's family. Although they could not be as corrupt as before, the reason why the nobles were nobles was that they were unshakable. The land was the first, and the family education was the second. It was better than the ruin of the family.
Even if the Qin State wants to reshuffle South Korea's powerful people, it will only change a group of people to support them. Although there is the possibility of family decline, there is no shortage of opportunities to become the target of support.
Zhang Ji was very satisfied with the reaction of the Han ministers and turned around to look at Wang An of Han: "Does King Han think so?"
Han Wangan nodded silently, who doesn't want to live?
"The two countries are at war, so we won't kill the envoy. If someone wants to kill me, I am a great master, and I won't mind dragging the Han ministers from the court to bury me with me!"
Zhang Ji fiercely shook his sleeves and took a few steps towards Han Wangan's throne. Killing intent overflowed from his slightly narrowed eyes. Just one look made the more than ten elite armored guards guarding Han Wangan go weak. Kneeling on the ground.
Zhang Ji's move shocked everyone. No one dared to break the unspoken rule of not allowing assassins to kill the king, so they were all a little careless and let Zhang Ji rush to the throne.
If they wanted to kill Zhang Ji, the envoy of Qin, then it seemed that Zhang Ji would kill Han Wangan, which was justifiable. Even Confucianists could not criticize Zhang Ji or Qin with words and writings. Instead, South Korea would have to bear the responsibility of attacking first.
Han Wangan's face was pale, and big beads of sweat fell from his temples. The shadow of death seemed to have enveloped him.
"Is King Han afraid of death?"
Zhang Ji's words were aimed at Han Chen, but Han Wangan knew that if Zhang Ji took action, he would never be left behind.
Although Zhang Ji in front of him did not pull out the Zhanlu Sword from his waist, he also knew that a master master could cut off fallen leaves and flying flowers and kill people with ease. He immediately glared at Ji Wuye with dissatisfaction.
"Yes! Yes! Ambassador Qin is indeed worthy of being a descendant of Zhang Zi."
Zhang Ji was noncommittal, retracted the murderous intention he deliberately released, and returned to his previous position.
"I, Wang Rende, have considered the difficulty of the King of Han's request to serve as a vassal by accepting the land's official seal, so I only want the land of the other four cities in Nanyang to bear the barren wasteland for the King of Han. By the way, in the name of loving talents. Invite Han Fei to join the Qin Dynasty, promise him an official position, and take him as a hostage."
Han Wang'an immediately realized what he said. The meaning of Zhang Ji's words was that Ying Zheng was just taking Han Fei as a hostage, but he gave South Korea some final dignity and gained a good reputation of respecting the virtuous and loving the talented.
Han Wangan glanced at Han Fei. A careless Lao Jiu who made trouble in the court all day long, and the peace of South Korea for several years, could also escape the four famine-stricken cities in Nanyang that were like gold-stained caves. Which one is more important? Naturally it goes without saying.
After weighing the pros and cons, he looked at Ji Wuye, the leader of the generals, and then at Kaidi, the leader of the civil servants.
Ji Wuye was angry just because Zhang Ji wanted South Korea to become a vassal, but he didn't bring an army with him, which somewhat looked down upon him.
But if South Korea really became a vassal of Qin, it would be a good idea to give up its empty name in exchange for real benefits, get rid of the gold-selling cave of Nanyang, and at the same time give Han Ting some peace.
The former nodded in agreement, while the latter silently acquiesced. It was rare for these two civil and military people to reach an agreement. It can be seen how much trouble Lao Jiu, a bastard boy, caused to the Korean court. The last thing Han Wangan felt was to do something about sending his son to the enemy country. The intolerance of hostages.
"That's very good. King Han will see you tomorrow."
Zhang Ji nodded and verbally praised Han Wangan's sageness, but his gesture and tone were as if he wanted to say that Han Wangan knew the current affairs, and did not show any respect for a prince.
