When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 81 The Birth of a Genius

The alliance between Qin and Yan was carried out at an extremely fast speed under the impetus of Lu Buwei and Lord Yanchun. On the contrary, Yan Dan was just a spectator from the beginning to the end. Until the two countries needed to formally sign the alliance, the Yan State The prince officially appeared in people's sight.

In the main hall of Xianyang Palace, there are many soldiers. Against the background of power, the majestic and solemn hall has a feeling that is difficult to touch, but it can't help but tremble.

Under the guidance of the servant Yandan and Lord Yanchun, they climbed up the high platform step by step and came to the Xianyang Hall.

The ministers of civil and military affairs of the Qin State on both sides, and the king of Qin on the throne, each in this Xianyang hall, brought an inexplicable pressure to Yan Dan.

This is the sense of oppression brought by power.

When Yan Dan came out of Xianyang Hall, he only remembered one sentence, no, to be precise, it was one word: yes.

In order to get the word "ke" from Yingzheng, he traveled thousands of miles, prostrated himself in the Xianyang Palace, and bowed his knees to the utmost in the sight of the important ministers of the Qin State.

This made him feel a deep humiliation.

······
Ying Zheng naturally didn't know that his old friend Yan Dan would have such a mental journey. At this time, he was summoning someone, Zhang Tang.

"General Zhang, I heard that you rejected Xiangguo before. I don't know why General Zhang changed his mind?" Ying Zheng asked Zhang Tang, who was kneeling at the head.

"Report to the king, because I saw a person." Zhang Tang wondered why Ying Zheng would summon him, but faced with Ying Zheng's question, he chose to tell the truth.

"Gan Luo?" Ying Zheng asked.

"How could Your Majesty know?" Zhang Tang was vaguely uneasy.

"Gu not only knows that man, Gan Luo, but also knows that General Zhang was favored by Gan Luo's grandfather, Gan Mao, the Prime Minister of King Wu's ancestors when he was a child." Ying Zheng said.

"How could the king?" Zhang Tang stood on the battlefield without changing his expression, and his mind was shaken instantly.

Because he had heard another meaning from Ying Zheng's words.

"General Zhang wants to know why Gu knows about this?" Ying Zheng said.

Yingzheng has been paying attention to Zhang Tang for a long time. This general, who was active in the period of King Qin Zhaoxiang, but fell silent later, is exactly the talent Yingzheng needs, not only because Zhang Tang has already proved himself with his military achievements. Talent, also because of the death of Lord Wu'an Baiqi, he has faded out of the court of Qin State due to some special reasons.

It can be said that the changes in Qin State's court in the past ten years have nothing to do with Zhang Tang. To Ying Zheng, this person is considered a man of innocence.

Of course, there was something else about Zhang Tang that surprised Ying Zheng.

"This is an extremely secret matter, not to mention that it happened decades ago. I didn't expect the king to know it. Yes, when I was young, I was greatly favored by Duke Gan." Zhang Tang admitted.

"So, this time, you don't care about your own reputation, thinking that Gan Luo is a young man paving the way?" Ying Zheng said.

Regarding Gan Luo's lobbying for Zhang Tang's acceptance, everyone thought that Gan Luo's intelligence and eloquence convinced Zhang Tang, but Ying Zheng saw something else, and he saw a trace of abnormality in it. .

"Since the death of Duke Gan, the Gan family has no one who can support the facade. Fortunately, Gan Luo is very talented, and the minister has lived for more than half of his life. If this reputation can pave the way for Gan Luo's future, it will be good for him." It can be regarded as repaying Duke Gan's great kindness."

Zhang Tang then smiled wryly. "It's just that I never thought that I could hide it from Lu Xiangguo, but I couldn't hide it from the King."

"If Gu didn't happen to know the relationship between the general and Gan Mao, he would have been deceived by you, general, just like Xiangguo," Ying Zheng said.

"But in the end, the king still saw it." Zhang Tang said helplessly.

He used his reputation to build momentum for Gan Luo, but he never thought that there was a problem in the link that he thought should not have a problem.

"It doesn't matter if I see it alone, even if the general cooperates deliberately, but Gan Luo's talent in this incident is indeed more than most of his peers. After a few years, he may not be able to become a pillar of our country. " Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, is that what you mean?" Zhang Tang looked delighted. He didn't hear the anger that made him uneasy from Ying Zheng's words, but another hint that seemed to be good.

"Gu didn't promise anything." Ying Zheng said noncommittally.

"Yes." Zhang Tang replied, he already understood another meaning of Ying Zheng's words.

"What does General Zhang think of the alliance between Qin and Yan?" Ying Zheng changed the subject.

"It's a good thing for my Qin country." Zhang Tang said.

"The old general really thinks so?" Ying Zheng leaned forward slightly, looking directly at Zhang Tang and asked.

"Actually..." Zhang Tang hesitated for a moment, and instantly firmed his mind, and said, "The alliance between Qin and Yan is completely dispensable to our Qin State. If our Qin State wants to attack Zhao State, There is no need to form an alliance with Yan, besides, since our Qin army failed to conquer HD in one fell swoop, we have already focused our attack on both sides of the river."

Zhang Tang paused for a moment and continued: "Moreover, the direction of our attack in the past few years has always been the same. Now we have captured the northern border of South Korea in the west, and there are dozens of cities around Taoyi in the east. If Wei is captured, Shangdang, Hanoi, Wei, and Taoyi will be connected in one line, and Zhao will be completely separated from Han and Wei. At that time, whether it is attacking Zhao or Han and Wei, our Qin The country will never again encounter Lord Xinling who led his troops straight into the city of HD, so that our strategy of conquering HD and destroying Zhao in one fell swoop fell short."

"The old general has no secrets about Gu." Ying Zheng said.

"I dare not have the slightest lie to the king." Zhang Tang said.

"Gan Luo can be regarded as a young talent. However, although he has made contributions to Xiangguo with the cooperation of the old general, it is only for Xiangguo. Xiangguo can't represent Qin yet. Therefore, Gan Luo still needs to help Qin. Only those who have made great contributions to the country can be rewarded." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty is saying?" Zhang Tang raised his mind.

"Gu intends to facilitate the matter of going to Zhao Guo. If Gan Luo can take over this important task from Xiangguo, and after he returns home, Gu can give Gan Luo the status of Qingshi." Ying Zheng said.

"As an envoy to Zhao State?" Zhang Tang was slightly taken aback, unable to understand why Ying Zheng sent envoys to Zhao State at this time.

Fortunately, his curiosity is not that heavy, he just needs to know that Gan Luo has got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"The minister will tell Mrs. Gan about this matter, and she will promote this matter. Don't hide it from your majesty. Gan Luo doesn't know about the relationship between the minister and the Gan family. Everything is hidden from the minister and Mrs. Gan. Luo secretly facilitated it." Zhang Tang said.

He said this for another purpose, which is to tell Ying Zheng that Gan Luo did not deceive Lu Buwei, and he is also telling Ying Zheng that Gan Luo has not deceived Lu Buwei now, and that he will not deceive Ying Zheng in the future.

"I know it alone." Ying Zheng nodded.
