I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 84: Admit it, Zhang Liang, I am destined to be yours

If Zhang Liang had cursed before entering the tutoring class, Ying Zheng might have frowned and ordered people to torture him.

But now...

Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally and turned his head to look at his son beside him.

Fusu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Zhang Liang in the cell and said angrily:

"You are the one who is being unreasonable!"

"Now you are a prisoner of my Great Qin. His Majesty saw that you are a talent, so he didn't kill you. You actually dared to insult His Majesty. Are you tired of living?"

At this time, he no longer called Ying Zheng "Father", but "Your Majesty" instead.

This means that, in Fusu's eyes, Ying Zheng is the emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the heaven of the Qin Dynasty. However, this man dared to scold him in front of him, and even cursed His Majesty as well. This is really outrageous!

Although in the eyes of many people, Fusu is a well-educated, gentle and modest gentleman, this does not mean that Fusu will not get angry.

Just as an honest man will kill someone when he is pushed into a corner, if Fusu is really angered, as the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, he still has the power to deal with a mere prisoner.

If Zhang Liang dares to scold His Majesty again, he will really kill him!
Ying Zheng was pointed at and called a tyrant, but he did not react at all to Zhang Liang's insults.

He smiled and patted Fusu on the back, saying:
"Why are you angry with him? He is now imprisoned in the imperial prison, unable to live or die. If you kill him with a sword, it will satisfy his wishes. He is eager to die. Fusu, you are the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, and you are twenty years old. How can you be easily angered?"

Fusu was stunned.

When he looked at Zhang Liang in the cell again, the man had stopped struggling and lay quietly on the ground. He did not shake the chains violently like before, but just glanced at the father and son outside the door.

Zhang Liang's tone was calm, and he even sneered:

"Qin Wangzheng, I thought you were a hot-tempered person who would kill people without blinking an eye. I didn't expect that I underestimated you."

"Yes, I just want to die."

"Whether what the eldest prince Fusu said just now is true or not, I can tell you that if you want me to be used by the Qin Dynasty, it will be impossible unless you use the news of my death to shock the old people of the six kingdoms."

"Besides, even if you kill me, the people who know me will only feel sad for a short while, and then they will try to kill you more frequently."

"So whether I'm dead or alive, you can't use me!"

Ying Zheng looked neither happy nor angry, staring at the man in the cell.

In fact, what Ying Zheng said just now was not wrong. Zhang Liang was indeed more beautiful than the beautiful woman. He knew this as early as the first class.

Zhang Liang was already in his forties in class, but he still looked elegant and graceful, like a banished immortal. Even teacher Song Shen couldn't help but be shocked by his appearance when he saw him for the first time. And now Zhang Liang is only in his twenties, which is even more extraordinary.

Because Ying Zheng had long ago instructed not to torture Zhang Liang and to treat him well, the people at Heibingtai didn't even give Zhang Liang a change of clothes. They only allowed him to wash his face with water every day. Apart from being tied up, the place was no different from a guesthouse.

Zhang Liang had a half-long beard, red lips and white teeth, a thin figure, and beautiful eyebrows and eyes like a woman.

But his eyes were sharp and full of murderous intent, and he wished he had a dagger in his hand so that he could stab it into the heart of this enemy who was so close to him.

Facing his hostility, Ying Zheng just smiled——

There were too many people who wanted to assassinate King Zheng of Qin or the First Emperor in this life, and Zhang Liang, with his hands and feet tied, was not really a threat.

"Zhang Liang, you have been the prime minister of Han for five generations. After Han was destroyed by Qin, you didn't even bury your family. In order to kill me, you spent all your family wealth, recruited wanderers from all over the world, and chose to hide in the vicinity of Xianyang, hiding in the dark. If I hadn't asked for you by name and described your appearance, I'm afraid you could have waited until the day I died."

Ying Zheng's tone was as calm as Zhang Liang's, but his words sent a chill down Zhang Liang's spine.

Why……

Why did this tyrant specifically look for me by name and even describe my appearance?
Zhang Liang thought he had been hiding very well. He had done everything over the years. In order not to live off his wealth, he even opened some shops to make money to support the wanderers he had recruited. He also never showed his face in public and only handed over these businesses to special people to manage.

Even though he was so careful, how did Ying Zheng realize that something was wrong with him?
Could it be that someone leaked the news and became a mole?

who is it?

He stared at the door:

"what do you want to say in the end."

Ying Zheng smiled, but did not answer him, and continued to talk:
"The Zhang family taught you very well."

"In order to kill my enemy, you lay dormant for many years. You even found out the route of my eastern tour this year and ambushed and assassinated me halfway. You almost succeeded."

"After the assassination attempt failed, you were able to evade the overwhelming manhunt and hide in the streets under a false name. You were also extremely lucky to have a chance encounter and receive a letter from Huang Shigong."

"After that, you knew that the unification of the Qin Dynasty was irreversible when I was alive, but after my death, the Qin Dynasty's rule would change. So you waited for my death, and then chose a wise leader to rebel against the Qin Dynasty, and you actually succeeded."

"Zhang Liang, to be fair, you are really amazing."

The more Zhang Liang listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

At the beginning, he was a little shocked when he heard Ying Zheng say that he had found out the route of the Eastern Tour, because this matter had just started. He just heard the news that Ying Zheng might go east to start a tour this year, and thought this was a good opportunity to assassinate him. But because everything was uncertain, he couldn't even start the arrangements, but Ying Zheng knew that he was going to assassinate him.

But the more Zhang Liang listened, the more he felt that this was not right, because what Ying Zheng was talking about had not happened at all.

——He was talking about the future?!
"You, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Zhang Liang suppressed his fear and said calmly, "Qin Wangzheng, don't talk nonsense. If I were to assassinate you, I would have made thorough preparations to ensure that I would hit the target. How could I fail at the last moment?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.

I didn't expect that Zhang Liang, who was in his twenties, would be so stubborn. He was completely different from the good student with a Taoist appearance in class.

"You were indeed well prepared, but you were a little unlucky at that time."

"You have been in Xianyang for so long, and you know that I am heavily guarded and many assassination attempts have failed. If I go on a tour and lose so many people in Xianyang, you will naturally have other ways to deal with it."

Ying Zheng said calmly:
"I am not afraid to tell you that I have nine identical carriages when I toured the East. If you want to assassinate me, you will probably only have one chance."

"One out of nine, how lucky do you have to be to hit the target with one shot?"

Zhang Liang's face finally turned pale.

He knew that Ying Zheng had been constantly attacked by assassinations. It could be said that the assassinations had never stopped since he came to power, so it was normal for Ying Zheng to be on high alert against assassins.

But even if he knew Ying Zheng's methods now, even if he had been released and there was a real chance of assassination, it would be almost impossible for him to take a chance and draw the carriage where Ying Zheng was among the nine carriages.

This is not the scariest thing.

His lips trembled a little, and he hesitated for a long time before he asked what was in his mind.

"How do you know these things?"

Ying Zheng now really wanted to pull Zhang Liang from the tutoring class to the side, let the two Zhang Liangs chat on their own, and he would just watch the fun from the side. Unfortunately, this was something he couldn't do.

He considered it for a moment and said:
"This is what you told me yourself - yourself in twenty years."

"If it were before, I would not even bother to look at you, because there are too many people like you who want me dead. Which descendant of the nobles of the six countries does not hate me?"

"Now I am willing to come to the Imperial Prison and listen to your curse just now, only because I have seen you twenty years later and know that you are a talent."

"Zhang Zifang, in twenty years, you will destroy the Qin Dynasty with your own hands, and the person you choose will establish a new dynasty. In fact, that dynasty is the same as the Qin Dynasty, unifying the world, and it did not bring your Korea back to life. You worked hard for decades, and in the end you only fulfilled your obsession."

"Now that I have told you this, do you still want to destroy the Qin Dynasty?"

Zhang Liang didn't say anything.

He was thinking, could it be that this tyrant is really crazy?

Even if I have achieved my wish to destroy Qin twenty years later, wouldn't I still curse Ying Zheng after meeting him?

It's impossible!

After a long silence, Zhang Liang said only one sentence:

"Destroying Qin is my lifelong wish."

Ying Zheng did not seem surprised and said:

"Then why do you want to destroy Qin? Just because Qin destroyed Han?"

"Before the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, the countries fought each other and suffered countless casualties. A gentleman once said something that I remember very clearly. He said - the general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division."

"Since the Zhou Dynasty, and then the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for four or five hundred years, the vassal states have been in constant conflict. Even if it is not Qin, there will always be someone who will come out to end this chaotic world. Otherwise, will we have to keep fighting like this for thousands of years? Is this what you want to see?"

"Or do you think that you, as the original king of Han, can replace Qin and unify the six kingdoms?"

"Han is surrounded by Wei in the northeast, Qin in the west, and Chu in the south. To put it bluntly, even if I were the king of Han, it would be extremely difficult. Think about it yourself, were the kings of Han who ceded Shangdang and Nanyang wise rulers?"

Zhang Liang bit his mouth so hard that his teeth almost broke his lips.

He knew that Ying Zheng was telling the truth.

The truth is hard to hear, but it is the fact. His family has been prime ministers of Han for five generations, and Zhang Liang knows very well what happened before.

The king of South Korea is not a wise ruler, and no matter how hard his ministers try, they cannot reverse the decline.

Zhang Liang whispered:
"You are just lucky. If you hadn't had those Qin kings who reformed the country and strengthened the army, you wouldn't have been able to unify the world with the remaining power of the six generations."

Ying Zheng spread his hands and smiled:
"Then why didn't Korea rise up to reform six generations ago? Why didn't the king make Korea a better place? Didn't they want to?"

"Admit it, Zhang Liang. It is destiny that the Qin Dynasty will unify the world."

"I dare to call myself the First Emperor, and it is the destiny!"

"Think carefully about what you are living for in this life. If you just want to destroy Qin, then you can wait for that day in the imperial prison and compete with me for a longer life. If you still want the people of your Han land to live a good life and want all the people in the world to have enough food and warm clothes, I can give you a chance."

"After all, I already know what will happen in the next two thousand years."

After saying this shocking sentence, Ying Zheng took Fusu and left the imperial prison.

Ying Zheng didn't care whether Zhang Liang hated him or not, he only cared that he was a talented person.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that this guy was one of the Ten Sages of the Temple of Martial Arts, one of the Three Great Men of the Early Han Dynasty, and a great strategist throughout the ages. So after catching the young Zhang Liang, he must not be wasted.

Fortunately, this is not the forty-year-old Zhang Liang in the tutoring class, otherwise even Ying Zheng would not be able to control him at all!
