Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 11: Ying Zheng’s surname is Lu?

Li Ji today is similar to Xu Lin who went to college in later generations. She cannot understand many things. She can neither understand that "those who fall behind will be beaten" nor understand the humiliation suffered by Han Xin under his crotch.

“Sugarcane is not sweet at both ends.”

"If you want to unify the world and end this chaotic era, someone has to shed blood and sacrifice."

"You'll understand in a few years."

Xu Lindao.

Then he went to the study with Li Wu.

Looking at Xu Lin walking further and further away, Li Ji seemed to be hesitant to speak.

She wanted to refute Xu Lin, but she felt that it was useless to say more. Xu Lin was eloquent and she could not beat him, so it was better not to say anything!

Although she did not agree with what Xu Lin said about the Battle of Puyang, she liked the tofu, bean sprouts, soy milk, straw paper and other things invented by Xu Lin very much.

"Not only did he not force me, he also provided me with good food and drink. What exactly is his intention?"

"You want me to be his retainer and die for him?"

After a few breaths, Li Ji frowned slightly and said in her heart.

After saying that, she went straight to the kitchen.

After drinking two bowls of soy milk in a row, Li Ji still didn't understand what Xu Lin was trying to do.

……

the other side.

Chang'an Jun Chengjiao led his army to Zhao State and captured Tunliu in one go.

The Zhao army thought Cheng Jiao would rest first, but Cheng Jiao did the opposite and launched a night attack, catching the Zhao army off guard.

"Young Master, you are a master at using troops. I admire you!"

Seeing Cheng Jiao's high spirits, Fan Yuqi complimented him.

Cheng Jiao smiled and waved his hand, then asked someone to bring the map over.

This was his first time leading an army into battle. He wanted to destroy the State of Zhao in one fell swoop, or force it to move its capital and cede cities in exchange for peace!
Soon, several soldiers brought over a huge map.

Seeing this, Cheng Jiao asked the soldiers to put the map on the ground.

Then he drew out the long sword from his waist with a clang and placed the tip of the sword on Tunliu on the map.

"General Fan, after the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao gradually declined."

"Do you think we can destroy Zhao in one fell swoop this time?"

Cheng Jiao asked.

"Destroy Zhao in one fell swoop?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

“As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.”

"I believe that food should be eaten bite by bite, and cities should be taken one at a time."

Fan Yuqi shook his head.

Then, while Cheng Jiao was concentrating on looking at the map, he winked at the guards standing outside the tent.

After receiving the eye signal, the guard Fan Yu outside the tent immediately lowered his head and quickly left.

He is Fan Yuqi's cousin and is loyal to him.

"General Fan is right."

"It is true that I am a little anxious."

Cheng Jiao saw that Zhao's territory was not small and could not be compared with Wei and Han, so he nodded in agreement.

"If we can't destroy Zhao in one fell swoop, it shouldn't be difficult to force Zhao to move its capital and cede cities in exchange for peace, right?"

After more than ten breaths, Cheng Jiao asked loudly.

The easy capture of Tunliu made him feel that the Zhao army was nothing to be afraid of!
"It won't be difficult for you to lead the army in person."

"Sir, please have some tea!"

Fan Yuqi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he handed the freshly brewed tea to Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao doesn't like drinking alcohol, he likes drinking tea.

"it is good."

Cheng Jiao nodded, took the teacup and took a sip of the light tea.

"General Fan is well-versed in military treatises. Does he have any plans for attacking Zhao?"

After a brief pause, Cheng Jiao put away his sword, looked at Fan Yuqi and asked.

The Qin Dynasty granted titles based on military merit. Although he had already been granted the title of lord, he could still increase his fiefdom after making further military achievements.

"Forehead……"

"Of course there are. I think..."

Fan Yuqi answered while thinking.

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

It was not Cheng Jiao who interrupted him, but Fan Yu.

"Sir, I have something important to report!"

Fan Yu asked respectfully. "What's the matter?"

"Come in and talk!"

Cheng Jiao looked outside the tent following the voice and gave the order.

"promise!"

Fan Yu immediately accepted the order and bowed into the tent.

Although Tunliu had been captured, Cheng Jiao still chose to camp outside the city.

"Sir, this is a serious matter. Could you please let them go first?"

Fan Yu looked at the guard in the tent and asked respectfully.

Cheng Jiao frowned slightly when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he waved his sleeves and drove away the guards in the tent, leaving only Fan Yuqi and Fan Yu.

Although he was not known for his cultivation, he had met Fan Yu several times and knew that Fan Yu was Fan Yuqi's cousin.

"Go ahead."

After the guards walked away, Cheng Jiao sat cross-legged and gave orders.

"Yes!"

"Sir, I have just learned that Ying Zheng is not the son of the previous king. His surname is not Ying, but Lü!"

Fan Yu glanced at Fan Yuqi, then took a few steps forward and said seriously.

"what?"

Cheng Jiao's pupils trembled when he heard this.

Then he took the silk handed to him by Fan Yu and looked carefully at the contents on it.

It only says above that Zhao Ji was Lu Buwei's concubine. When Lu Buwei gave Zhao Ji to Ying Yiren, Zhao Ji was already pregnant. Less than ten months after Zhao Ji married Ying Yiren, she gave birth to Ying Zheng. Therefore, Ying Zheng was not the son of Ying Yiren, but the son of Lu Buwei!
"this?"

"Where did this news come from?"

"Do you know what the punishment is for making irresponsible remarks about the king?"

After reading it, Cheng Jiao frowned and questioned.

Although his grandmother, Queen Dowager Huayang, had a bad relationship with Ying Zheng, he always had a good relationship with Ying Zheng!
When they were young, he and Ying Zheng often practiced sword together. He loved the tea "Xue Ding Yin Shuo" since he was a child and often bought it from the Hu people with a large sum of money. Ying Zheng only scolded him for wasting money and did not reduce his fief.

"Son."

"Without solid evidence, how could I dare to speak so recklessly?"

"This is the information my trusted aide gathered from Handan, Zhao State!"

Fan Yu knelt on one knee and explained.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jiao stroked the jade ring that King Zhuangxiang of Qin had given him several years ago and fell into deep thought.

"Son."

"Lü Zheng has usurped the throne and his heart deserves death."

"The throne of the Great Qin should be yours, young master!"

After seeing this scene, Fan Yuqi said in a deep voice.

"General Fan is absolutely right."

"I am willing to return to Xianyang with you and execute Lü Zheng and Lü Buwei, the father and son!"

Fan Yu followed closely behind.

"This is a serious matter, stop talking nonsense!"

Cheng Jiao scolded after hearing the three words "kill Lu Zheng".

He felt that even if Ying Zheng was really the son of Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng probably didn't know that his surname was Lu, because Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei had always had a bad relationship!
"This is a serious matter. Please allow me to consider it."

"You go down first."

"Don't spread this matter first!"

Cheng Jiao said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Fan Yu wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Fan Yuqi.

"Yes!"

Fan Yu had no choice but to accept the order.

"Does Grandmother know about this?"

After Fan Yu walked away, Cheng Jiao looked at Fan Yuqi and asked.

"I still don't know."

Fan Yuqi shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Jiao immediately bent down and wanted to write a letter to Queen Dowager Huayang to tell her about this matter.

He was raised by the Queen Mother Huayang. This matter is of great importance, how can I not tell the Queen Mother Huayang?
"Sir, wait a minute!"

When Fan Yuqi saw this scene, he stopped it immediately.

"Sir, Xianyang is nearly a thousand miles away, and a round trip would take at least seven days."

"Luowang assassins are all over Xianyang. If we send someone to Xianyang to deliver the message, the news will definitely leak out."

"Therefore, I suggest that we first return to Xianyang under the pretext of clearing the court of corrupt officials, and then inform the Queen Mother of this matter once we arrive in Xianyang!"

Fan Yuqi made a suggestion.
