Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 114 Winter Fun

"What is Zhang Qing doing?"

Ying Zheng walked forward, followed by Fusu and several other princes.

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Yuanqing handed the hand warmer to Qingque and bowed to greet him, but Ying Zheng quickly waved him off, "There's no need for us, king and subject, to do this. You're weak, so take it quickly and don't catch a cold."

As he spoke, Ying Zheng took the hand warmer from Qingque and placed it in Zhang Yuanqing's hand.

"Fusu greets the teacher."

"Meet sir."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I was enjoying the snow and asked A-Da and the others to make this snowman."

"Hmm," Ying Zheng frowned as he looked at the snowman. "A-Da and the others' craftsmanship isn't very good. It's unsightly."

"If Mr. Zhang likes to see snow sculptures, I will ask craftsmen to carve them specially for you."

Zhang Yuanqing: ...

Qingque, Ada and others almost laughed out loud after hearing this.

My lord, it was the Marquis who told me to do this.

It’s not that my skills are poor.

"very ugly?"

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Ying Zheng, then at the snowman, feeling a little confused.

How come it hinders the view?

How cute.

Is this the generation gap that spans thousands of years?

Seeing Zhang Yuanqing's expression, Fusu knew that this must be his teacher's idea.

"Father, I think this snowman is very cute."

Fusu held back his smile, not letting the corners of his mouth curl up too high, so as not to offend his teacher.

At the same time, he also winked at Ying Zheng.

The father and son have an inexplicable connection with each other.

"If you look closely, it's actually quite cute."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing was happy.

"That's right. At first, Your Majesty wasn't used to it. He'll be fine after watching it more."

"This snowman is so round and cute."

"It's very cute, father. I want to build one for Jianglu too."

"And I."

"I also want."

"Father, Fusu also wants to build one for himself, so he stands next to the teacher."

Fusu said, pointing to the snowman in the yard. It was obvious that that was Zhang Yuanqing.

"Ah, elder brother, don't fight with Ronglu. Ronglu should be next to the master."

"And I."

The three little ones ran away noisily. Fusu looked at Ying Zheng and then at Zhang Yuanqing. Seeing them nod, he hurried away.

"It's rare that Prince Fusu is so childish today."

The four children were making a lot of noise, and the originally quiet yard was filled with bustle.

"Zhang Qing taught Fusu very well."

Ying Zheng nodded, and when he mentioned Fusu, there was more recognition and pride in his eyes.

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head. "Your Highness is naturally intelligent. I have only given you some guidance. You have the King's guidance through words and deeds."

"Moreover, I know nothing about the military strategies that you have learned. I learned them all by asking the generals for advice."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng laughed heartily a few times, but did not respond to Zhang Yuanqing's words.

He knew in his heart that if it weren't for Zhang Qing, Fusu would not be as outstanding as he is today.

I believe that in a few years, Fusu will be a qualified crown prince.

"Let's talk inside, you and I. It's cold outside, Mr. Zhang, don't catch a cold."

"promise."

The king and his minister looked at the people in the yard and turned to leave.

Fusu and others didn't notice the two people leaving at all.

At this time, Fusu successfully grabbed the first position next to the teacher as the eldest brother, and Jianglu grabbed the second position with his martial arts. Zigao and Ronglu could only choose to stand in the back.

With the help of Ada, Aer and Mosheng, the four people quickly completed their own snowmen.

In the room

"What is the important matter that has brought you here, Your Majesty?"

Qingque added hot tea for the two of them and respectfully retreated to the door.

"There is something."

"Lord Zhang previously said that the attack on Chu should be postponed. I came here today to discuss the affairs of Wei with Lord Zhang."

Zhang Yuanqing paused for a moment while holding the teacup, then placed it on the table.

"The king wants to destroy Wei."

Since the war between Qin and Chu last year, Wei took the opportunity to attack Chu, but instead lost a large amount of land to Chu.

The State of Wei declined from then on.

If we attack the State of Wei at this time, it would indeed be a good opportunity.

"Your Majesty, if you destroy Wei, Chu will surely seize the opportunity to ally with Qi and Yan to attack Qin. Your Majesty should prepare early."

Seeing that Zhang Qing and he shared the same thoughts, Ying Zheng was delighted. "I intend to send Dun Ruo as an envoy to Qi. The King of Qi has no ambition and lives in seclusion. With Dun Ruo's ability, he will definitely prevent Qi from joining forces with Chu and Yan to attack Qin. Then, our Qin will first destroy Wei, and then Chu and Yan."

My ambition to dominate is about to be completed.

When it comes to destroying other countries, Ying Zheng's kingly aura is even more powerful than Zhang Yuanqing's.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuanqing has become accustomed to the king's majesty in recent years and is not frightened at the moment.

Fortunately, fortunately, my image as a calm counselor has remained stable.

"Your Majesty, the State of Wei is nothing to be feared. If Your Majesty wishes to destroy Wei, you will need a clue."

"A fuse for destroying Wei in an upright and fair manner."

"What's Mr. Zhang's plan?"

Every time I hear Zhang Qing plotting against someone, he always does it in a unique way.

"Your Majesty, Liao Wu is now considered a member of the Qin State's Merchant Department. Liao Wu's caravan was tragically hijacked in the Wei State. The Qin Army naturally cannot sit idly by."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng said yes.

"Then Zhang Qing will make the arrangements at this time."

"promise."

After the king and his ministers finished discussing state affairs, Fusu and his four companions also walked in.

"Are your clothes all wet? Let Qingque warm them up for you."

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the four young men and saw that everyone's clothes were a little disheveled, which showed how crazy they had played outside just now.

Fortunately, there was plenty of charcoal in the room, and Qingque helped Fusu and the other three to dry their wet clothes.

The four people pestered Zhang Yuanqing for a few more words before following Ying Zheng away.

Zhang Yuanqing saw the others out and saw six snowmen piled in the yard. He laughed out loud.

I don’t know whose idea it was, but they put clothes on each snowman, especially the tallest snowman, who was dressed in black and was obviously the king.

Just connecting the snowman and the king is funny no matter how you think about it.

When Fusu and the other three saw Zhang Yuanqing staring at the snowman and smiling happily, they thought that the teacher liked the snowman they made, so they grinned with joy.

Sure enough, the teacher would be happy to see Fusu standing next to him.

I am the teacher's only disciple.

Jianglu and the other two were also happy. They chattered and explained to Ying Zheng who the snowmen were, which made Ying Zheng frown.

Who built this widower?

It is so ugly, without any dignity of mine.

However, seeing that everyone was very satisfied, Ying Zheng endured it again and again and finally swallowed the words in his heart.

As Ying Zheng and the other princes left, the news that the king had taken the princes to play at the Right Prime Minister's residence today had spread throughout Xianyang.

The court officials were already numb with jealousy.

The king can go wherever he wants, he will never come to someone's house to play anyway.

Woo woo

The next day, a letter was quietly sent out from Zhang's house.

"I understand. Please tell the Right Prime Minister. I will definitely take care of this matter."

Liao Wu put away the letter and threw it into the brazier to burn it.

Seeing Liao Wu act like this, A Da got up and left.

In the 14th year of King Zheng of Qin, a Qin merchant caravan was robbed and killed by Wei people while passing through the border between Wei and Qin. All the goods and jewelry of the caravan were lost, causing heavy losses.

Upon hearing this, the King of Qin was furious and ordered Generals Meng Wu and Heng Qian to send troops to attack Wei.
