After the court meeting, Zhao Jia did not leave. Instead, he was kept and brought to the Lama Temple.
Yonggong Temple is the place where the King of Qin handles government affairs and receives foreign guests on a daily basis.
When Zhao Jia arrived here, Ying Zheng had already changed out of the majestic royal robe and put on the casual clothes he used to wear. He was wearing a luxurious white robe with light silver dragon patterns embroidered on it and a belt. The golden color, just standing calmly, has an extraordinary nobility that cannot be ignored.
"Zhao Jia has met King Qin."
Zhao Jia walked up to the young emperor and bowed with his hands.
Ying Zheng looked at his childhood playmate in front of him, with a flash of reminiscence in his eyes, and sighed softly: "We have been apart for so many years, and you and I are no longer young."
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost ten years.
"Who would have thought that the naughty boy who made himself dirty all day long would now become the King of Qin, and I, the former Crown Prince of Zhao, would now be deposed as the Crown Prince by King Zhao. , and was even sent to Qin as a hostage, fate is really a twist of fate."
Zhao Jia stood up slowly and expressed emotion from the perspective of the original owner.
Destiny is really a bitch sometimes. What she likes to do most is to play with others, especially those poor people who are ill-fated.
If Zhao Jia hadn't traveled through time.
The original owner's life was more than a tragedy.
He lost his mother when he was young and watched his father marry a prostitute and take his mother's place as queen, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
When he was young, he was deposed as the crown prince and watched his father dote on his stepmother and younger brother.
When he was young, he was sent to Qin as a hostage. He lost his freedom and became a prisoner of the enemy.
When he became an adult, he lost his father and returned to Zhao from Qin. He saw the prostitute's son ascending to the throne and watched them exhaust the last bit of Zhao's national power.
In his middle age, he watched Guo Kai betray his country, the Qin army flattened the capital of King Zhao, and accepted the land seal from Qin.
In his later years, he led the last Zhao army and struggled to death under the Qin cavalry until he died on the battlefield...
Zhao Jia in history can no longer be described as miserable, his life was a tragedy.
"Destiny? You actually believe in this."
Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and said rather unexpectedly that as an emperor, he did not believe in the word fate. If everything was determined, why would people have to work hard? In his view, everything in the world can be changed, no matter what. Be it yourself, others, or even the whole world.
If he wants to do it, he can do it!
You son of fate, don’t you believe it?
Zhao Jia made a joke in his heart. If the development in the late Warring States Period were to be followed, Ying Zheng's appearance would seem to bring an end to this era, and his appearance also happened to be the period when Qin's national power was at its peak. As long as it was delayed for one or two more In this era, Qin may not be Qin.
Destiny is like an invisible hand that has arranged everything in advance.
However, the fate of this world obviously does not affect him as a time traveler.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Zhao Jia gave an ambiguous reply.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and looked at Mr. Zhao who seemed to be joking in front of him, "You have changed a bit."
"Everyone changes."
Zhao Jia said softly, his change was not only great, his whole soul had been replaced.
Ying Zheng was silent for a while, turned his head slightly, and did not continue the topic with Zhao Jia. He looked into the distance and said lightly: "Is the method you said in the court meeting today true?"
"Really, I never joke with my life."
Zhao Jia stood next to Ying Zheng, followed Ying Zheng's gaze and looked at Li Mountain in the distance, and said confidently.
"You're confident?"
Ying Zheng glanced sideways at Zhao Jia beside him.
"Because you need me."
Zhao Jia turned to look directly at Ying Zheng and said calmly.
"How can I see it?"
Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Those who have great power are like the masters of the abyss; ministers are the fish with great power. The fish is lost in the abyss and cannot be regained; the master of the people loses its power and is more powerful than the ministers and cannot be regained."
Zhao Jia is learning now and selling it now, and pulled out an ancient poem to express Ying Zheng's current situation.
simply say.
If the monarch has no power but his ministers have power, then it will be extremely difficult for the monarch to regain his power.
Ying Zheng needs him. If Zhao Jia does not perform well today, then he will only be a proton and can only live in that courtyard for the rest of his life. But if he has the ability to face the hard-steel Lu Buwei, then he can completely become Ying Zheng's hand. a chess piece.
It's not that Ying Zheng expects Zhao Jia to bring down Lu Buwei, but that Ying Zheng needs someone to speak out and express his attitude. It's best if this person has nothing to do with him. No one is more suitable than Zhao Jia.
This can also maintain the awkward relationship between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei.
After all, Ying Zheng is unwilling and unable to break up with Lu Buwei now, and he wants to do something and does not want to be a mascot. No one in the court dares to fight with Lu Buwei. Now only Zhao is left. This choice of Jia is the most important. He performed well, which was a bit surprising.
"Liu Wei? I never thought you had read the book written by Han Fei."
Ying Zheng turned around, stared at Zhao Jia with slightly focused eyes, and said slowly that he admired the books written by Han Fei, and many of the ways of governing the country were in line with his inner thoughts.
"The contents written in it are all based on reality, and it is inevitable that you will have a sense of resonance after reading it."
Zhao Jia nodded and gave his inner evaluation.
He has indeed been reading Han Fei's works these past few days. The more he reads, the more he inevitably gets some insights.
One thing to say.
Han Fei is indeed a talent, and his articles can still be used even in modern times. No wonder countless big guys like to read history books and ancient books. This is not unreasonable. The so-called human nature has long been analyzed by our ancestors, and it is played by future generations. It's all leftover from previous generations' play.
Human nature has never changed since ancient times.
"The feeling of resonance... Then how do you think I can change my current situation?"
Ying Zheng pondered for a while, then looked at Zhao Jia again and said in a deep voice.
"I don't know."
Zhao Jia shook his head. He did not answer the question.
Because Ying Zheng is not the future Ying Zheng, and he has not experienced betrayal yet, he still has illusions in his heart, so he does not have murderous intentions towards Lu Buwei. This behavior seems a bit childish in Zhao Jia's view. The most taboo in power struggles is to be soft-hearted. Not to mention an emperor.
How can we take power without killing Lu Buwei?
Do you really think Lu Buwei will obediently hand over the power in his hands?
But it was precisely because of this that Zhao Jia had the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
Qin is much easier to mess with than Zhao.
Ying Zheng did not continue to ask, but changed the subject: "Zhao Jia, you should stay in Xianyang Palace from now on."
"promise!"
Zhao Jia cupped his hands and responded, knowing that Ying Zheng recognized him.
"I hope what you said is more than just words."
"You will see the truth in half a month."
Zhao Jia cupped his hands in response, and then walked out of the hall under the leadership of the chamberlain.
