Great Qin Emperor Teacher: I teach Ying Zheng to become an emperor through the ages!

Chapter 23 Read between the lines
Zhangtai Palace.

Ever since King Zhaoxiang Yingji got old, his sleep became lighter and lighter, to the point where it was even difficult to fall asleep.

The weather was very sunny today, and in the afternoon, King Zhaoxiang sat by the pond in the back garden of the palace and caught fish.

He knows his time is numbered!

In recent days, he has called the historians of Daqin and the civil servants of the palace to his side every day, and told them something.

As for what King Qin Zhaoxiang said, these people naturally did not dare to neglect, and recorded them all!
It's just that they felt sore wrists after writing for a long time, and they were worried that what they said to the king could not be fully recorded.

The lake in the palace was already frozen, but King Zhaoxiang ordered someone to break a huge hole in the ice.

"Father, the weather is really too cold, let's go back to the palace and stay."

On the side, An Guojun Yingzhu coughed violently, and then he was a little out of breath, his eyes were bloodshot.

He has been weak since he was a child, and he is even weaker now that he is in his 50s.

"If you feel cold, go back first. This king wants to stay here for a while, and take a look at the mountains and rivers of Daqin."

Take a look and look less.

King Zhaoxiang misses the world, not because he doesn't want to give up the throne of Daqin, but because he doesn't want to part with this beautiful country and his subjects.

But people are mortal!
Fortunately, under the Jiuquan, he can straighten his back to meet his father, King Huiwen, and his elder brother, King Qinwu.

Back then, Qinwu King Yingdang died in Zhou Wangji's giant tripod, and Yingji was ordered in danger. Fortunately, he withstood the pressure.

Seeing that Yingji could not be persuaded, An Guojun stood there silently and did not dare to leave.

"Your Majesty!"

But at this moment, a little eunuch hurried over, with an extremely anxious expression on his face, as if he wanted to see something.

He trotted all the way, leaving many footprints of different shades on the ground, An Guojun gave him a wink, and the little eunuch understood.

"Report to Your Majesty, General Meng Ao asked to see him, saying that he had something important to see His Majesty."

Meng Ao! ?
How did this old thing come about?

After Bai Qi's death, Meng Ao became the commander-in-chief of the three armies. With his great military achievements, he overwhelmed all the heroes in the three armies, and everyone was convinced.

Old Meng Ao was once Bai Qi's confidant!
But he was honest and didn't have as many thoughts as Lord Wu'an Bai Qi, so when Bai Qi was bestowed dead by King Zhaoxiang, Meng Ao was safe and sound.

An Guojun followed suit:

"Father, if you want the general to come, there must be something important, why don't we go and see him?"

King Zhaoxiang gave him a look, and Mr. An fell silent.

After a long time, King Zhaoxiang got up slowly, and with the support of the little eunuch, he walked towards the main hall of Zhangtai Palace.

In the hall, an old general stood in the center wearing a court uniform and no armor. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked back indifferently.

"The last general, Meng Ao, pay homage to the king!"

"You don't have to be polite, General."

King Zhaoxiang sat on the throne with a tired face, but he seemed to hold all the major events in the world in his hands, and asked softly:
"But is there any movement in the nations?"

Now Qin is considered the source of all evil in the world.

The six kingdoms of Shandong are planning to attack Qin all the time, because with the power of one country alone, it is no match for Qin.

Meng Ao shook his head and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, it's not about the war. Please take a look at this, Your Majesty."

Meng Ao took out an inexplicable thing from his arms, which was paper developed by Qin Chuan's workshop.

"What is this?"

King Zhaoxiang had never seen such a thing before, so he was naturally full of curiosity and inevitably asked questions.

Mengao said:

"According to rumors, this thing is called paper. Your Majesty might as well take a look at the beautiful articles on it."

After Meng Ao's reminder, King Zhaoxiang focused his eyes on the beautiful words on it.

It's just that the more he reads, the more comfortable he feels, because this article describes the great achievements of his life.

And the rhetoric is gorgeous, and the description is particularly comprehensive!

Even King Zhaoxiang didn't remember some subtle things, so he could only look up them in historical materials.

But the writing of this article is in every detail!
"It's really a great talent to be able to write such a beautiful article, and this paper is also a good thing, right, do you know the author of this article?"

King Zhaoxiang was interested.

Mengao said:

"Knowing about the great king's affairs in such detail, he must belong to the royal family, and this person must be the grand prince's grandson!"

King Zhaoxiang fell into deep thought.

He is using the method of elimination to screen out, the Ying family is bloody, most of them are willing to practice martial arts, and there are very few people who are literary and have such literary talents.

"what"

King Zhaoxiang suddenly thought of someone.

Ying Zheng!

When Zheng'er first returned to Xianyang, he had memorized the "Book of Shang Jun" fluently, and he was familiar with the classic oriental subsets by heart.

"Could it be that this article was written by Zheng'er?"

King Zhaoxiang became more certain of his inner guess, immediately became happy, and shouted to the little eunuch:
"Hurry up, let Young Master Yingzheng come to see you!"

The little eunuch hurried to deliver the order.

Soon, Ying Zheng also appeared in the palace. He seemed to be running, and he was full of travel and dust, not daring to delay the king's order at all.

"Great-grandfather, Zheng'er is here!"

King Zhaoxiang didn't hide it, and said straight to the point:

"Zheng'er, here is an article "On the King of Qin", which vividly describes the great achievements of great-grandfather's life. Do you know who wrote it?"

"On the King of Qin?!"

This is not the task assigned by Qin Chuan yesterday, but the article he wrote after staying up all night, but it's wrong, he just showed this article to his master Qin Chuan in the morning.

But how could it be in the hands of great-grandfather?
"This article was written by Zheng Er, but how did the great-grandfather get it?"

Meng Ao then said:
"My lord, nowadays, this article is widely circulated in the market, and it is circulated everywhere."

Ying Zheng: "."

When he saw the piece of paper in King Zhaoxiang's hand, Ying Zheng had already guessed that it must have been arranged by Qin Chuan.

But seeing Meng Ao smiling, he said again:
"Nowadays, the people of Daqin all know the merits of the king, and they are grateful to the king. The reputation of the king will surely be passed down forever. This is all the credit of Mr. Zheng!"

King Zhaoxiang suddenly understood.

The achievements written in the bamboo slips are dead, and once these bamboo slips are destroyed, his achievements are likely to be buried.

But if it is passed on from heart to mouth, once passed on ten times to hundreds, and passed down by children and grandchildren, it will be truly remembered by history.

King Zhaoxiang looked at Yingzheng with gratitude in his eyes. This kid actually knows how to please the king.

"Zheng'er, since you wrote this article, do you think you know the source of the 'paper' that General Meng said?"

Of course Yingzheng knew that Qin Chuan had told him all about the method of making and the purpose of this paper.

"Great-grandfather, Zheng'er does know about this, but it's just a long story."

"Then speak slowly, great-grandfather listen slowly."
