Chapter 369: One fish eats many (1 update! Please reward!)

When an expert assists or helps others to do things, especially those who are responsible for making suggestions, once others say that they will not do things 100% according to his words, those who understand the pros and cons will definitely retreat as soon as possible.

When Wang Jian saw Ying Zheng acting like this, he felt the urge to retreat.

Even though he still wanted to live and do something, Ying Zheng gave him the feeling that Ying Zheng had other choices besides himself.

Wang Jian thought about it and decided that there was only that one person.

Suddenly, Wang Jian had an epiphany. He almost stroked his beard and laughed in front of the court. He didn't expect that Ying Zheng's nemesis was him!

In order to verify his bold conjecture, Wang Jian asked Ying Zheng cautiously, arching his fat palms and bowing his hands, "Is your Majesty determined to pacify Chu and destroy Qi in just one year?"

Ying Zheng looked at the white-haired Wang Jian, and the two of them sat quietly under the snow-drenched eaves.

Through the passage of time, the two rarely see each other's feelings clearly.

Ying Zheng didn't want to hide Wang Jian anymore.

They are both smart people, especially two people who are good at using people and dealing with others.

"Life is only a few decades. I don't know how long it will be. When I go through twists and turns when I am young, I always feel that life is long and arduous; when I succeed to the throne and continue the career of the previous kings of Qin, this time seems to be in the blink of an eye."

"I just hope that the attack on Chu and Qi will be done as quickly as possible. Now everyone in the world is waiting to see Xianyang, waiting to see my joke. Of course I don't care about people's opinions, but our Qin State has been fighting for many years, and our food and grass savings are really exhausted. Barren.”

"Although there are newly occupied territories, annexation and management consume manpower and time, and the great cause of unifying the world is not simple. The longer the attack on the six countries is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for our Qin State, and we will be closer to completing the unification of the world. The wishes of the past kings will be comforted one day."

"For me, whoever can complete the task of conquering Chu and defeating Qi in the shortest time will be the greatest hero of Qin."

This is the Ying Zheng that Wang Jian is familiar with.

He wanted to accomplish something unprecedented and unprecedented in his limited life time.

Ying Zheng has a very famous motto, which is not to make the same mistakes as the previous kings.

It is precisely because he has set extremely high standards for himself and urges himself to fulfill them all the time that Ying Zheng has high demands on others around him.

Wang Jian said from the beginning that Qin would definitely win, it was just a matter of time.

But Ying Zheng just wants to be quick.

This resulted in the two of them not being able to urinate into the same pot this time.

Naturally, Ying Zheng did not reject Wang Jian on the spot, but he had a better choice in mind.

The ancient Chinese always relied on push and pull when doing things.

In order to do things successfully, we must not offend others.

Ying Zheng plans to call Fu Su back to ask clearly. If Fu Su says he can do it, then let Fu Su go.

If Fusu has no bottom this time, let Wang Jian take the lead.

Wang Jian was now sure that Ying Zheng was not at the point where he had to use him as a last resort, so he didn't dare to show off or anything like that.

In the evening, Wuchenghou's mansion served wine to kill chickens, cook mutton, prepare grilled fish, and host a banquet in honor of Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng and Wang Ben were eating meat with big mouthfuls.

Especially Wang Ben, he grabbed the roasted leg of lamb and started gnawing at it. When eating meat, he lowered his head and said nothing, just eating his own food.

This was not the first time that Ying Zheng had dinner with the Wangs and his son. He just said, "Young General is still the same."

Wang Jian narrowed his eyes and said, "This guy has been like this since he was a child. He has no good looks."

Ying Zheng suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I heard that your grandson is familiar with the art of war and has had the ambition to join the army since he was a child. Since I am here today, why didn't you see him?"

Mentioning this, both Wang and his son lowered their heads. Wang Ben lowered his head, tore the meat bit by bit, and began to chew slowly.

Wang Jian shook his head and said, "King Meng is worried about you, but this boy is flashy and doesn't know anything about the art of war. He is young, but he is always idle and not at home. He usually stays in Xianyang."

Ying Zheng originally wanted to be merciful, but seeing Wang Jian's words, he seemed to think that Wang Li was a bastard. However, Marquis Wucheng has always been mature, prudent, low-key and calm. Maybe his grandson has great talent, but Marquis Wucheng declined.

After finishing the meal, Ying Zheng suddenly realized that he had seen something unusual.

"Why does Marquis Wu Cheng only eat rice?" There was also a lot of meat on Wang Jian's table, but Wang Jian only ate some rotten fish, and the rest of the time he ate with rice in his arms.

It is really strange that only rice is eaten at such a banquet.

When Wang Jian saw that Ying Zheng had taken the bait, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am very old. I have lost all my teeth in the past two years and can no longer eat meat."

When Ying Zheng heard this, his heart trembled.

When Ying Zheng returned to his house to rest, Zhang Han clumsily came forward to serve him. Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Is General Wang so old? To the point where he can't eat meat."

Zhang Han replied, "Once a person reaches fifty, he begins to age. General Wang is almost seventy, so it is normal that he cannot eat meat."

Ying Zheng then asked again, "But I was talking to the old general before. The old general was energetic and organized. He really doesn't look like a man who has lost all his teeth."

Zhang Han said casually, "Would you like me to do some research for your Majesty?"

Ying Zheng smiled, "Act in secret."

At dawn the next day, Zhang Han came to Wang's backyard.

Zhang Han came to the stables. The arrival of the senior generals around King Qin and the Huben guards scared the people around him so much that they did not dare to move or glance around.

Zhang Han pointed to the horses with shiny coats and said, "The old general is in good health. He lives alone in Pinyang and still uses horses from time to time?"

The servant at home immediately lowered his head and replied, "These horses belong to Da Zili. The old general is old and has not been on a horse for a year."

[Zi is an honorific title. The eldest son in the family is called Dazi, and the younger one is called Shaozi. It means eldest young master, young master. The title of Prince also evolved from Da Zi. 】

Zhang Han didn't believe it, "But your eldest son can't ride so many horses by himself."

"The eldest son likes to make friends. Every time he comes home, he will take his friends to ride horses. These horses are prepared for eldest son's friends."

Zhang Han saw that there was no flaw in the man's answer, so he walked back to the backyard where the children were playing.

Zhang Han asked the three or four-year-old children, "Do you usually eat with your ancestors?"

The three or four-year-old child pointed to his missing baby teeth and smiled, "I drank goat's milk with my ancestors."

The guards around laughed when they heard this.

After Zhang Han returned, he told Ying Zheng the truth about his investigation.

"I didn't expect that Marquis Wu Cheng would have aged to this extent. In less than two years, the changes have been too rapid."

Ying Zheng fiddled with the bird cage hanging in the house. There was a pair of pigeons in this cage. Ying Zheng seemed to be in a good mood after hearing the news, and took the initiative to feed the two pigeons.

"Sometimes, people are like swords. If they are not used for a long time, they will not rust."

In the afternoon, Ying Zheng left for Xianyang Palace.

Wang Ben asked to stay with his father at home for a few days, and then rushed back to Xianyang.

Ying Zheng agreed.

After Ying Zheng left, Wang Jian slowly sipped the fish soup. There were streaks of golden oil in the fish soup, and the white, tender and plump fish meat was cooked until it was soft and tender.

"I didn't expect that the king would go back right now."

"He is very impatient by nature, and someone once made him a bigger promise. To this day, that promise still has a great temptation."

Wang Ben said, "I probably know who my father is talking about. But with the situation developing to this point, can that person still fulfill his promise?"

"Before failure, everyone thinks that success belongs to them." Wang Jian said with a smile in his eyes, "That man is really a master! You can eat a fish back and forth several times!"

Wang Ben looked at the table, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually calmed down.

"That's fine. After all, it is a family matter of the emperor's family. If the king uses our Wang family again one day, we Wang family will definitely serve. But if he doesn't use it, we have no complaints."

The Wang family is just a common people's family. It is because of the promotion of King Qin that it has developed like this. The whole family is very grateful to King Qin.
