Ying Zheng never expected that the conditions proposed by Han Fei were not high-ranking officials and generous salaries, nor big benefits to South Korea, but... the destruction of "my weapon"? !
Although Ying Zheng had long ago decided to destroy "my weapon" immediately after unifying the world, but that was also after unification. Now among the six countries, not one country has been destroyed. How can this hard-won magic weapon be destroyed at the drop of a hat?
Seeing Ying Zheng's ugly face, Han Fei raised his hands and said, "Is this matter very... difficult for King Qin?"
Ying Zheng calmed down and said, "I took you to see the magic weapon because I wanted you to help me increase the power of the magic weapon. Instead, you suggested that I destroy those weapons. What's the reason?"
Han Fei sighed and said slowly: "These magical weapons are indeed powerful and must be difficult for any army to resist, but King Qin, have you ever thought about it, maybe a hundred years later, once some evil people rob these magical weapons, then what will happen to them?" Is there still a good life in the world?"
Ying Zheng smiled instead of being angry and said: "I have already thought of this. To be honest, destroying this magic weapon is inevitable, but not at this time, but after I unify China."
Han Fei raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with some contempt: "I didn't expect that the majestic King of Qin would need to use ancient magic weapons to conquer the world. It would be hard to win without force."
"Victory without force?" Ying Zheng retorted, "Isn't it good to win with an overwhelming advantage and thereby reduce the casualties of some soldiers?"
"Fewer casualties?" Han Fei shouted angrily, "What King Qin said was that the soldiers of Qin would suffer fewer casualties. On the other hand, the casualties of soldiers from other countries would only be more severe!"
Ying Zheng opened his mouth, but was unable to refute for a moment.
We are all citizens of China, and our lives are given by our parents.
Han Fei observed Ying Zheng's expression and continued: "Imagine, if this magic weapon can be made at will, then the war between the two countries will inevitably become more stalemate. As time goes by, the losses will be greater, and those who will suffer will still be the ones who suffer. common people.”
Ying Zheng fell silent. He knew that everything Han Fei said made sense.
"The national power of the Qin Dynasty has now surpassed the six countries." Han Fei struck while the iron was hot and continued, "It is only a matter of time before we can unify the four seas. But does the King of Qin have to be like Bai Qi, using that peerless magic weapon to defeat the enemy? Can’t we kill all the soldiers and civilians?”
When Bai Qi was mentioned, Ying Zheng was agitated and his heart was beating wildly.
He was born in the State of Zhao since he was a child, and he knew very well the resentment of the people of the State of Zhao towards Bai Qi, and that kind of hatred was by no means the hatred of losing the war and losing the land.
The ancestor King Zhaoxiang was by no means a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately, but he could not control Bai Qi from killing people indiscriminately. In the end, he could only kill Bai Qi to avoid future troubles.
Who can guarantee that there will not be a second Baiqi in Qin, and there will not be a second Baiqi in history.
Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei and asked, "If a few people destroy the magic weapon, how can we talk about unification?"
Han Fei shook his head and said, "King Qin is wrong to think so."
Ying Zheng said: "I would like to hear the details."
Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If the magical weapons were not used to fight, Da Qin would be able to destroy the six kingdoms one by one. But if the magical weapons 'my weapons' were used, then the six kingdoms would see that Da Qin had such powerful gods. Armed with powerful weapons, they will surely unite to fight against Qin. What is the chance of victory for Qin when one is against six at the same time?"
"Besides, the soldiers who use the magic weapons are also flesh and blood after all. If something goes wrong, the magic weapons will fall into the hands of the enemy. At that time, one will wax and wane, and King Qin's unification ambition will ultimately be no more than It’s just a sweet dream.”
Ying Zheng took a breath and had to admire Han Fei's thoughtfulness and foresight.
However, Ying Zheng also understood that Han Fei had some selfish motives for saying these words. He did not want to put South Korea in a very dangerous situation and might be destroyed at any time.
"I need to think about this matter," Ying Zheng said.
We are a little tired from the journey. Brother Han, please go back and rest. "
Han Fei said goodbye and left the palace gate.
It is undeniable that Ying Zheng was moved by Han Fei's words. Since "my weapon" will be melted down sooner or later, why not give Han Fei a favor?
However, this matter should be discussed with Ji Fa first.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng stopped thinking about it and took Zhao Gao out of the room and came to Hu Yu's door.
Hu Yu came out and said with a smile: "The king came to see my concubine just after he came back. Could it be that he brought some rare treasures with him?"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "You guessed it right. Let's go to the stables with me."
"Stable?" Hu Yu muttered without asking any more questions and followed Ying Zheng to the stable.
Zhao Gao called out several grooms and asked them to hold lanterns to illuminate, and then followed him into the stables.
A shiny black tall horse followed Zhao Gao out of the stable.
Hu Yu suddenly exclaimed and ran over quickly.
"This, this..." Hu Yu circled around the black fox, and he no longer knew what to say.
"It's called the Black Fox." Ying Zheng said proudly, "I spent a lot of money to buy it from the Kingdom of Dawan. How about it? It's not bad."
Black Fox is a stallion, so it is naturally taller than Hu Yu's Maple Leaf. The mane on its back is also longer, its limbs are thicker, and its body is dark, making it look even more strong and handsome.
"Hahaha." Hu Yu laughed, hugged the black fox's neck and said, "Maple Leaf has company, he won't be lonely anymore."
"Are you happier now?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Yeah!" Hu Yu nodded childishly.
At this time, the black fox seemed to smell the scent of maple leaves, growling and becoming restless.
Ying Zheng asked Hu Yu to take Maple Leaf out and ask them to meet.
Hu Yu quickly entered Maple Leaf's stable and brought Maple Leaf out.
When the two horses met, they both neighed in low voices, as if greeting each other.
Seeing the two horses so close, Ying Zheng and Hu Yu glanced at each other, and tenderness arose in their hearts.
Zhao Gao wisely left here with several grooms.
"Say, Your Majesty," Hu Yu said, "When they give birth to a foal together, send it to our Yu'er, okay?"
Ying Zheng didn't expect that Hu Yu would suddenly have this idea, so he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay, okay, but not blatantly."
Hu Yu thought of the children who were sent to Chu State, and felt sad for a while, and murmured: "Okay, you can just send someone secretly."
Ying Zheng couldn't bear to see her sad, so he asked: "Tell me, this little pony, whose father is a black horse and whose mother is a red horse, what color will it be?"
Hu Yu curled his lips and said, "Of course it's red, follow my mother."
Ying Zheng said disdainfully: "That's not necessarily the case. It depends on whether the foal is a male or a female."
"Is it possible..." Hu Yu blinked and said, "If it's a male, it's black, and if it's a female, it's red?"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "I think this must be the case."
Hu Yu snorted and said: "It doesn't matter whether he is a male or a female, black or red, as long as he has a foal, he will be sent to Chu State."
Ying Zheng knew that she was expressing her love for him with sweat and blood, so he readily agreed: "Okay, it's up to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." A sweet smile appeared on Hu Yu's fair cheeks, "It's just..."
"Just what?" Ying Zheng asked.
"It's just that the name of this black fox is indeed not very pleasant. It must have been given by the king." After saying that, Hu Yu half-covered his lips and laughed.
Voice.
Ying Zheng: "..."
"If they have a foal, the name can be chosen by the concubine." Hu Yu said.
"Okay." Ying Zheng said cheerfully, "What do you think it should be called?"
Hu Yu looked at the dark black fox, then at the fiery red maple leaves, thought for a moment, and said, "How about calling it Wu Zui?"
"Wu...Zui..." Ying Zheng murmured in a low voice, "Well, yes, it sounds better than black fox, but what if the pony is white or a flower color?"
Hu Yu laughed and said: "If the two of them can give birth to a white horse, it will definitely be a unique horse."
They both laughed at the same time.
After settling the black fox, Ying Zheng got up and went to Huayang Palace to pay his respects to Mrs. Huayang, and then met Mrs. Xia again.
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng mounted his fast horse and led his guards to Lishan Mountain.
Seeing Ji Fa, Ying Zheng told the story of his trip to the Western Regions in great detail, except for the matter of marrying Wu Chan.
Who would have thought that what Ji Fa was most interested in was really the matter between him and Wu Chan. He didn't care whether Ying Zheng was embarrassed or not, he kept asking questions.
"Haha, marrying Jingjue, this has never happened to us in China, and you are the first of its kind." Ji Fa said, stroking his white beard.
Ying Zheng said with some embarrassment: "I'm thinking of big things. If we want them to move as a family, this is the most effective way."
Ji Fa didn't speak any more, but still looked at Ying Zheng with a smile on his face. His eyes were quite meaningful, as if he was saying: Even if there is no plan to relocate the entire clan, Queen Wuchan will not be able to escape your grasp.
This strange atmosphere made Ying Zheng quickly change the subject: "Master, after I came back, I straightened out the government affairs and chatted with Han Fei for a while. He said that if he wants him to serve in Great Qin, he must agree to one condition."
Ji Fa knew that Han Fei was a rare talent, so he smiled and said, "Let me tell you what you want."
Ying Zheng immediately stated Han Fei's request to destroy all "my weapons".
Ji Fa thought for a while, sighed softly, and said: "This Han Fei really has some insights. Although he is mixed with a little selfishness, he does think about the people of the world. Do you still remember when I saw the tortoise shell map? What did I say to you?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Remember, Master asked me to smelt all the magic weapons immediately after taking over the world, and imitate the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor, so as not to leave any harm to future generations."
Ji Fa narrowed his eyes and asked, "I gave you a dagger at that time, do you remember?"
"Of course I remember." Ying Zheng said as he took off an exquisite dagger from his waist. "I always carry it with me."
Ji Fa nodded and continued: "Actually, what the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor were most worried about back then was not the whereabouts of these magical weapons, but the craftsmanship and technology for forging the magical weapons. After all, it is relatively easy to collect the raw materials for making the magical weapons, and that Smelting technology will be fatal if it falls into the wrong hands."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"So later, the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor not only smelted all the 'I-wares', but also sealed up the smelting technology, leaving only some entry-level craftsmanship, which are kept by specialized families. But even so, these ancient skills must be beyond There was so much knowledge at that time, and it was even much higher than today.”
"That family has also set very strict rules. They will never grant this skill to outsiders, and every time they change the heir, they will create a unique sword. This is why those famous swords are so rare. reason."
Ying Zheng's mind turned around quickly and he asked: "The famous Gan Jiang and Mo Xie were the heirs of this family, right?"
Ji Fa's eyes flashed with light, he nodded and said, "Exactly."
