Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 336 I've been waiting for you! (13)

outside the house.

Zhang Liang's pupils shrank.

He stared straight at the figure in the room, and soon understood what was going on.

Went straight in.

"sit down."

Ji Heng spoke calmly.

It's like greeting a friend from afar.

Zhang Liang did not take a seat as Ji Heng said, but stood in the courtyard and looked around cautiously. This small courtyard was very quiet and simple. The overall layout was the same as that of ordinary people's homes. The only difference was the fields on the side. There are some unknown wild vegetables growing in the border, and there is a tattered rag hanging under the mulberry tree in the courtyard.

A few horizontal and vertical lines can still be vaguely seen on the rag.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Zhang Liang relaxed, bowed his hands to Ji Heng, and sat down on a nearby mat.

Regarding Zhang Liang's behavior, Ji Heng did not stop him. Instead, he introduced with interest: "Although I live in a busy city, the surrounding environment is barely quiet. I rarely go out. Most of the time I just sit and watch the clouds roll and relax. Listen to the flowers bloom and fall.”

"It's quite comfortable."

Zhang Liang looked at Ji Heng sharply and asked directly without making any attempt to hide it: "Who are you?"

Ji Heng chuckled lightly, with a calm smile on his lips, and said with a relaxed expression: "You have been asking so carefully these past few days, so you should know something about me, so why do you ask questions knowingly?"

Hearing Ji Heng's answer, Zhang Liang showed a dull expression.

The moment the door opened, he saw someone waiting deliberately. At that time, Zhang Liang understood that what he had done in the past few days had long fallen into the eyes of interested people, and had already been reported to this person. Mr. Zhong heard that the other party was waiting for him on purpose.

Thinking of this.

Zhang Liang also reacted quickly.

His seemingly careless actions were just deceiving others.

The residence of this 'Mr. Zhong' has been closely monitored for a long time. His every move seems to be unintentional, as if he just broke in accidentally, but how can he hide it from the attendants who are always on guard around him?It can even be called conspicuous.

And the reason why I was able to come in so smoothly was probably because of this 'Mr. Zhong''s intentional instructions.

Zhang Liang recovered his mind.

He stared at Ji Heng deeply, completely relaxed.

He said solemnly: "I have indeed inquired about you in the past few days, but I didn't get much information. I only know that you are a royal slave, born in a hidden palace, with the same surname of 'Zhong', and who once participated in the 'Guan Shan Hai' Some time ago, you even planned for some courtiers, but if I am not wrong, the information exposed to the outside world is not your true identity."

Ji Heng nodded and said in agreement: "Your analysis is correct."

"What is revealed to the outside world is just what I want to tell the outside world. As for my true identity, it does not involve half of it."

"and"

"My surname is not Zhong either."

"But there is no point in worrying about the surname. The name is just a code name, so how can it be worth caring about? As far as the world is concerned, I have always been just an unknown person. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. .”

"If you insist on knowing my truth."

"There is one thing I can tell you."

"To a certain extent, you and I are actually the same kind of people."

"only"

"I have no intention of restoring the country."

Hearing Ji Heng's words, Zhang Liang's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

When he came, he had thought about Ji Heng's true identity over and over in his mind, but he had never thought that Ji Heng would be a noble from the Six Kingdoms.

He looked at Ji Heng intently and could indeed feel a sense of calmness.

Zhang Liangdao: "Since you are from the same noble family of the Six Kingdoms, why do you want to help Qin to harm it? If I am not mistaken, the changes in Fusu in recent years and the policies he introduced may have been all done by you."

Although Zhang Liang asked, his tone was very sure.

If he had not met Ji Heng before, he might not be so sure, but after meeting Ji Heng, he was completely sure. Only a person as confident as Ji Heng could come up with such an ingenious strategy.

Ji Heng did not deny it.

He nodded and said: "I am indeed behind those policies."

"Originally it was just a casual talk, but who would have thought that Fusu actually ordered it to be implemented. Since these policies came from me, I should handle the follow-up matters well."

"But in reality, these policies have not met with much resistance, nor have they encountered many ups and downs."

heard.

Zhang Liang's expression darkened.

Ji Heng's words were clearly saying that they reacted too slowly.

But this is actually true.

They had never expected that Qin Ting would suddenly turn around, let alone that Qin Ting would attack merchants. In addition, there were also dissatisfaction among the nobles of the six countries, so in the end the obstruction was dropped.

Zhang Liang said: "If you calculate mentally but not intentionally, it is inevitable that you will gain something."

"Qin Liguo has been adopting a high-pressure posture in the past few years, and he is also very aggressive. He is eager for quick success and quick gains. The nobles like us have subconsciously relaxed their vigilance, so that your plan can succeed."

"But even if I wait and be vigilant, the final result will not be different."

Ji Heng sighed softly: "Because nobles are nobles and merchants are merchants. How can a group of lowly merchants and nomads get into the eyes of nobles?"

Zhang Liang remained silent, acquiescing to this.

He didn't argue further. The matter was a foregone conclusion. There was no point in continuing to talk about it.

He said solemnly: "Since you are also a noble, why do you want to serve Qin Ting?"

"Have you just abandoned your country?"

Ji Heng shook his head.

He chuckled: "You are wrong again."

"I have not served Qin Ting. All I ask for is a basket of food and a cup of drink."

"As long as anyone can provide me with food and wine, I will make suggestions for them. I am just exchanging my knowledge for some wine money."

"Another restoration of the country."

Ji Heng laughed, with a bit of wantonness.

He looked at Zhang Liang and said leisurely: "Zhang Liang, do you think this country can really be restored? Can the restored country really be the same as before?"

heard.

Zhang Liang's expression suddenly changed.

The hair on his body stood up, and the eyes he looked at Ji Heng were full of shock and disbelief.

How did he know that he was Zhang Liang's?

On the way from Kuaiji County to Xianyang, he never revealed his true identity. Even the inheritance test that accompanied him was done in advance by someone else. He came here to seek talents. .

How did Ji Heng know his true identity?
Zhang Liang felt horrified.

There is an uneasiness about being seen through.

However, although he was terrified in his heart, Zhang Liang quickly controlled his emotions, a look of confusion appeared on his face, and he asked in surprise: "Did you call the wrong person? When did I say my name is Zhang Liang?"

Ji Heng didn't speak, just watched quietly.

It's like watching a joke.

see.

Zhang Liang's expression changed again and again.

How could he not know that the other party really knew his situation.

With a livid face, he said coldly: "How do you know that I am Zhang Liang? And you are so sure."

Ji Heng said calmly: "A humble gentleman, as gentle as jade."

"Your face, Zhang Liang, is too gentle. Although you have been through many years of weathering and your skin color has become much darker, your appearance is rare in the world. Even if you cover it up intentionally, as long as you observe it carefully, you can still see it." We can find some clues." "Moreover."

"You know that there are attendants around me, but you still dare to put yourself in danger."

"There are not many people in this world."

"And you, Zhang Liang, have a good reputation. No matter how ignorant I am, I have still heard about it. Of course, these are just guesses. The real reason is actually very simple."

"because."

"I have been waiting for you!!!"

"Are you so sure that I will definitely come to you?" Zhang Liang asked curiously.

Ji Heng hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said slowly: "I can't say for sure, but with your personality, you are probably willing to come and check. After all, you hate Qin deeply, and you are unable to do anything about the changes in the Qin court. At that time, I was willing to go and find out for myself. Besides, as I said before, you and I are actually the same type of people."

"How can I not guess my own thoughts?"

Zhang Liang was silent.

His whole body was already tense.

The original relaxed posture was gone.

see.

Ji Heng said calmly: "You don't need to be so nervous. Currently, only I know your identity. No one else knows, and Qin Ting doesn't know either. This is a meeting between you and me."

"You don't have to worry about the walls having ears."

"The environment of my residence is quiet, and not many people dare to wait. Besides, last time there was an attack by the court officials, many people died as a result. How can the attendants around me or other caring people dare to live and die again?"

Zhang Liang looked at Ji Heng deeply, and finally relaxed completely.

Whether he was nervous or not was meaningless.

Since the other party already knows his true identity, he has also expected that he will come. Now he is in the urn. No matter how hard he struggles, as long as the other party wants to take action, he will never have a chance to break free.

So why bother anymore?

Seeing Zhang Liang calm down so quickly, Ji Heng was not surprised at all.

As it should be.

After all, this is the person who will be called a saint seeker by later generations.

Seeing his identity being called out, Zhang Liang became less restrained and said, "Since you know my identity, you should also understand my Zhang Liang's family background, and you should also understand my Zhang Liang's obsession with restoring the country."

"My life's ambition, Zhang Liang, is to restore Korea!"

Ji Heng nodded, then shook his head, noncommittal to Zhang Liang's words.

He said calmly: "You, Zhang Liang, come from a Korean family and have been with Korea for generations, but you said that your lifelong ambition is to restore Korea. This may not be true, and you actually already have the answer in your mind as to whether you can restore the country. And You also know very well that even if Korea is restored, will it really still be the Korea that your ancestors of the Zhang family loyal to in the past?"

"You just want to practice the loyalty of your ancestors."

"For Korea."

"How can you be so persistent?"

Zhang Liang was silent.

Ji Heng poured himself a cup of hot tea.

He also handed a glass to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang reached out to take it and thanked him slightly, showing a very elegant temperament.

Ji Heng sighed softly: "You already knew it in your heart."

"South Korea can never recover."

"Even if the country is really restored, it will not be the same Han as it used to be."

"The Korean royal family has long been depleted after Qin destroyed Han. The few remaining ones are mostly branches. But how many of these people are worthy of big posts? Han Cheng? Han Xin? The talents of these people are better than yours. I know better."

"And Han was the first to be destroyed by Qin."

"It's been 20 years since now."

"20."

“It’s been more than a generation.”

"In this era of short life expectancy, how many people still have the desire to restore the country?"

"They are just using the name of restoring the country to make huge profits for themselves."

"You actually know everything."

"And the reason why you are so persistent in reviving the country is because you are unwilling to accept it and still have some illusions about the old Korea. There is nothing to blame for your thoughts, because people always cherish the things that have passed away. I will have an inexplicable longing, and I will always be a little unwilling to see my hope shattered with my own eyes."

"When you really see it, you will give up completely from now on."

"It will be the same as me."

"I will no longer seek to restore the old country, but will offer suggestions and suggestions for the new dynasty."

"I won't tell you to give up."

"Because if you really give up, you won't be Zhang Liang."

"but."

"I can also tell you very clearly that your idea of ​​restoring Korea is destined to be impossible to realize. I will not give you a chance. I didn't have it before, and I will never have it in the future."

Ji Heng's voice was calm.

There was something unquestionable and domineering in his words.

Zhang Liang frowned.

He put down the tea bowl and said coldly: "Do you really think you can control the world? Can you also control other people in the world and let the world be at your mercy?!"

Ji Heng smiled and shook his head.

He said calmly: "I have never thought that way."

"I just firmly follow my own ideas and realize it step by step. It is true that the nobles and scholars of the six countries will bring a lot of resistance and turmoil to the world's reform, but your power is too weak after all, and it is also too weak. It is too easy to escape and retreat, and the nobles of the six countries who cannot be united have nothing to do against a united Qin State."

"There is no way to resist!"

"in addition."

"The reason why I have such confidence."

"It's because the person standing behind me is Da Qin, the first unified dynasty in the world."

"And behind you is Han."

"A country that is the weakest and the first to be destroyed."

"The difference between the two is too great."

"It's so big that it can't be filled without human resources."

"I have a lot of room for trial and error, but you don't. As long as you make one mistake, you will be cannibalized step by step by the Qin court. In the end, it will sweep through Liuhe again just like Qin did in the past. But by then, there will be no more of you in the world. gain a foothold."

"The world will also be a new world then!"

"My lifelong wish is to create a new world."

"A new world that is different from the past and has a bright future."

Ji Heng spoke calmly.

The eyes reveal determination and persistence.

Zhang Liang remained silent.

He stared at Ji Heng with murderous intent in his eyes.

At the same time, the dagger hidden in his sleeve slowly fell into his hand.

Ji Heng glanced at Zhang Liang indifferently, with endless ridicule in his eyes, shook his head and said: "Zhang Liang, there are some things that you don't need to be too persistent about. The world will not remain unchanged, and the world is always moving forward."

"It's time for you to move on!"
