Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 118 The Honest Man
Ziying knew in his heart that such words might anger the King of Qin, and the best choice was to quietly ask for a generous reward and not care about Jing Ke's life or death.

However, everyone has their own persistence in their hearts. Although Ziying's soul comes from later generations, it doesn't matter if he is pedantic, Ziying also has his own principles that he will never go beyond.

So even if he was convicted because of this, even if he could not save Jing Ke in the end, he would try it and would never remain indifferent.

Qin Wang Zhao Zheng's face has turned livid at this moment.

Anyone could see that King Qin was extremely angry, and even the officials in the hall were a little trembling at the moment, for fear that King Qin's anger would involve him.

"Why?" Zhao Zheng said to Ziying word by word with a tense face and frowning.

"When I was in Yan Kingdom, I and Jing Ke had become brothers with different surnames. Therefore, even if the king punishes me, I will say the same!" Ziying knelt and said.

After Ziying finished speaking, Zhao Zheng's face became a little more puzzled. Ziying knew that King Qin was thinking about why he didn't tell Jing Ke the truth in advance since he and Jing Ke had sworn brothers, so he continued:
"The minister heard that Huanju fled to the country of Yan in the past, and Prince Dan stayed behind. Yan's Taifu Ju Wu remonstrated: 'If you link up with one person and pay them back later, you don't care about the great harm to the country.

The minister did not dare to harm the great affairs of the family and the country with his personal feelings, so he never made it clear to Jing Ke.However, the state affairs have been accomplished, since Jing Ke is my brother, I can't bear to see him killed. "

"Aren't you afraid of going to jail with you?" Zhao Zheng threatened.

"Ziying is at the disposal of the king, and begs the king to spare Jing Ke's life!"

Ziying's stubbornness obviously made King Qin extremely dissatisfied, he snorted coldly and tossed his sleeves, ignoring Ziying's request, and strode away from Xianyang Palace.

At this time, the civil and military ministers in the palace also pointed and talked about Ziying, and they didn't understand Ziying's behavior.

After a while, an internal official and two guards came to Ziying together.

"Your Majesty Chang'an has offended you. Your Majesty ordered me to escort you back to the mansion. You must not leave the mansion without the order of the Majesty the Majesty." The internal official said to Ziying.

King Qin's move can be said to put himself under house arrest.

Everything that can be done has been done, even if it is because of this, King Qin will not regret sending Ziying himself to prison.

Because as a responsible person, there are some things you have to do, even if your head is broken and your body is broken.

It's easy to go with the flow, but you can also lose your faith.

"Report to the King, General Wang Jian is asking to see you." Zhao Gao carefully reported to the King of Qin.

Not long after Zhao Zheng returned to his bedroom, Wang Jian followed him to ask for an audience.

Not to mention that Ziying had saved Wang Jian's life during the first battle of Zhao's destruction. If Ziying hadn't rushed to help in time, Wang Jian would have been a piece of loess at this time.

Moreover, Wang Jian also admired Ziying's talent very much, for fear that King Qin would be angry and punish Ziying too severely.

"Xuan!"

Wang Jian cautiously entered King Qin's bedroom, and after saluting, he raised his head and looked it up. King Qin's face was expressionless, showing neither happiness nor anger.

"Why did General Wang come here?" Zhao Zheng asked first.

"Mr. Chang'an is still young, the old minister asks the king to temporarily calm the anger of the thunder, and forgive Mr. Chang'an for his slip of the tongue." Wang Jian said.

After listening to Wang Jian's words, Zhao Zheng stood up and walked lightly before the case, and asked, "What does Old General Wang think of Ziying?"

When Wang Jian heard King Qin's inquiry, although he didn't understand Zhao Zheng's intentions, he replied truthfully: "Mr. Chang'an is a loyal and upright man!"

"What is a loyal person?"

"The so-called loyalty, Mr. Chang'an puts state affairs first in everything. No matter this trip to Yan Kingdom, or the previous battle to destroy Zhao, it can be seen that Mr. Chang'an is not afraid of life and death for the country, and it can be called loyalty.

The so-called straightness, today Lord Chang'an in the palace may not speak any more, and safely receive the reward from the king, but Lord Chang'an did not avoid the matter of sworn worship with Jing Ke, he would rather be punished than intercede for him, it can be called straight.

Lord Chang'an is like this to Jing Ke, and even more so to the King! "

Wang Jian slowly explained his understanding of Ziying.

Especially the last sentence points out that now Ziying can plead for mercy even if he is willing to be punished for a sworn brother. If it is for the king, you may be even worse. You are definitely someone you can trust.

After Wang Jian finished speaking, he looked up at King Qin, but he still didn't see any change in King Qin's expression.

When I was worried, I heard Zhao Zheng say: "Ziying is young, so I should beat it so that I don't have any scruples."

After hearing this, Wang Jian was very surprised. After listening to King Qin's words, he didn't mean much to blame Ziying, but just wanted to beat him. Could it be that the actions of Wang Shangdian were all intentional?

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, was originally a person who valued love and righteousness, and it can be said that he had a clear distinction between love and hatred.

He will never forgive anyone who offends him, just like being bullied in Handan when he was young, he will take revenge even in the past 20 years.

And those who are kind to themselves will try their best to repay them.Xia Wuqi only used a medicine bag to stop Jing Ke's actions when Jing Ke was assassinating, and was also bestowed with two hundred gold coins by the King of Qin, not to mention Ziying, who has been loyal to him for two generations.

In this regard, Ziying is actually very similar to Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng also seems to see his own shadow in Ziying, with a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, as well as state and private affairs, public affairs before private affairs.

However, Ziying disobeyed his decision in public in the hall. In order to maintain his image, Zhao Zheng naturally would not let Ziying go.

Ziying's actions in the palace today seemed reckless and wrong, which made King Qin trust him even more.

Jing Ke's past will inevitably be investigated in detail after today.At that time, Ziying and Jingke sang generously in Jicheng City every day, and they were like brothers.With Qin's news network, it will inevitably be found out.

If Ziying could calmly send his brother to the guillotine without moving, the King of Qin would not dare to use such a person.

Since the perineum kills his sworn brother, he will definitely betray his uncle if he has greater interests.

However, Ziying's performance today can be said to make Zhao Zheng extremely satisfied.

State affairs are the most important thing, but also personal feelings.

For the sake of national affairs, he can conceal his identity and come to assassinate Qin with Jing Ke. After the state affairs are completed, for the sake of his sworn brother, he can plead for him regardless of personal safety and death.

This can be done for Jing Ke, let alone for himself.For the country, I am the king of Qin, and for selfishness, I am Ziying's uncle. The state and the private are completely unified.

Therefore, although it seems that Ziying provoked King Qin's anger, and for the sake of the king's face, Ziying will definitely be punished, but in fact, King Qin's trust in Ziying is even greater.

King Qin's disciplinary order was quickly delivered to the Chang'an Palace.

"Mr. Chang'an disobeyed the king, and he was banned for half a year to meditate on his past!" Only half a year was not allowed to leave the palace, and this punishment can be said to be negligible.

"I don't know if the king has a royal order to deal with Jing Ke?" Ziying asked quietly, stuffing a piece of gold beads into the hand of the servant who came to deliver the order.

The waiter said he didn't dare, but quickly stuffed the gold beads into his arms and replied: "The king only ordered You Si to watch Jing Ke strictly, and he didn't say how to deal with it!"

"It's the best news that nothing is dealt with, at least Jing Ke's life is saved for the time being!" Ziying thought.
