General Qin

Wang Li is very young, in his early twenties, and is eight feet two inches tall. Because he eats meat all the year round, he has a strong figure, and the bulging under his clothes is full of muscles.

But compared with his burly figure, Wang Li's face was very delicate and fair, which gave a great contrast at first glance.

When Zhao Tuo was in the palace, he had a relationship with Wang Li. After the assassination of Qin, the king of Qin asked him to lead Zhao Tuo out of the palace.

So Zhao Tuo chatted with this young Lang Wei naturally.

"My lord, I don't know why your majesty called me?"

Wang Li smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I don't know. But it must not be a bad thing, otherwise I would not be the one who came to summon you."

Zhao Tuo also laughed, and at the same time looked at this famous figure in history.

Wang Li.

Grandson of General Wang Jian and son of Qin General Wang Ben.

His father and ancestors were all the pillars of Qin, so once Wang Li was crowned, he was called into Lang Weizhong to serve the King of Qin. He could be released as a general or a landlord official when he had enough experience or when the King of Qin had a thought.

In the future, he will be able to inherit the titles of Wang Jian and Wang Ben, and he will be able to stand at the top of the empire without hard work.

But Zhao Tuo, who has learned about the history of the late Qin Dynasty, knew that the fate of this famous general would not be good.

After Hu Hai, the Second Emperor of Qin, gave his son Fusu to his death and Meng Tian was imprisoned, the entire Great Wall Army of the Qin Empire was handed over to Wang Li to control.

Not long after, the world was in chaos, and Wang Li went south to suppress the rebels and besieged Julu City.

That battle shocked the whole world and made him the prestige of the Overlord of Western Chu.

Xiang Yu broke the boat and defeated the Qin army in the first battle under Julu City, and captured the Qin general Wang Li.

Since then, the descendants of this famous general disappeared on the stage of history, leaving only a comment from later generations.

Ben and Li succeeded each other, and the three generations were unknown.

The family of famous generals can only be passed on for three generations.

But at this moment, although Wang Li has the arrogance of being born in a famous family, his attitude towards Zhao Tuo is not bad, presumably it is based on the attitude of King Qin.

Zhao Tuo took advantage of the situation to get closer to him, and the two chatted happily along the way.

The carriage was speeding, and it didn't take long before it went straight into Xianyang.

Zhao Tuo found that the atmosphere in Xianyang City had changed.

The last time he came here with Jing Ke, the common people in Xianyang, Qianshou, were very excited, and the faces of people walking on the street had proud expressions on their faces.

After the general destroyed Zhao State, King Yan was afraid of Qin State, sent envoys to pay tribute, and was willing to cede land to beg for peace. What a proud thing for the Qin people. Xianyang is filled with a festive atmosphere.

As a result, things changed suddenly, and the envoy turned into an assassin and blatantly assassinated the King of Qin in the court.

That's okay, sending assassins to assassinate, this is a naked provocation and an insult!

The country of Yan is shameless and should be destroyed!

When Jing Ke was torn apart by the public, every household in Xianyang went to watch, spitting mouthfuls at the damn assassin's corpse.

Today, not only Xianyang, but also the entire state of Qin is filled with a belligerent mood.

Squeeze the kingdom of Yan!

The crowd was furious, and countless Qin people howled, they were willing to go to the battlefield and destroy the country of Yan.

"As expected of the future Qin Shihuang, this method is really powerful."

Zhao Tuo saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help admiring in his heart.

After he sued for adultery, King Qin could have directly sent someone to capture Jing Ke without putting himself in danger.

But the king of Qin didn't. Instead, he used his tricks and boldly used Jing Ke's assassination to divert the internal conflicts of Qin.

You must know that the Qin State fought for years and defeated South Korea and Zhao in a row for several years. The results of the battle were great, but the casualties it paid were not small.

Especially Zhao Naiqiang, before Wu'an Lord Li Mu was killed by Guo Kai, he was the Qin army's nightmare, and even Wang Jian was not Li Mu's opponent. The Qin army suffered a lot of casualties outside Handan.

Therefore, after the destruction of Zhao State, there was a sense of war weariness in Qin State, whether it was the court or the people, especially the foreign relatives headed by Lord Changping. They hoped that King Qin could temporarily delay the speed of conquest.

This is why Wang Jian stationed his army in Zhongshan, but never crossed Yishui to attack Yan. There was already a disunity of opinion within Qin.

But now, with the outbreak of Jing Ke's incident, the war weariness was wiped out in an instant, and Qin had only one thought.

Kill Yan!

Whoever dares to say "no" is the enemy of Qin!

Zhao Tuo followed Wang Li into the palace gate, but he didn't go to the Xianyang Palace, where the envoy of Yan was held for the last court meeting, but to a side hall at the back.

After receiving the order from King Qin, Zhao Tuo took off his shoes at the door and stepped into the hall cautiously.

The floor of the palace is paved with square bricks painted with patterns of phoenix birds, and it is cool to walk on.

Especially in this cold winter season, a trace of air-conditioning keeps walking along the soles of the feet to the body, which makes people have to cheer up.

Zhao Tuo saw that King Qin was sitting on the couch, with his head lowered, carefully reading the brief text in his hand.

Workaholic!

It is said that Qin Shihuang had to review at least 100 catties of bamboo slips a day, based on the weight of a bamboo slip weighing 1 tael and 30 characters.

He read at least 50,000 words a day.

Some people in later generations even suspected that the reason why Qin Shihuang died early was related to his overwork and illness.

"If paper is invented, I don't know if I will be awarded a title."

Zhao Tuo was muttering in his heart, but he was just thinking about it now.

Is it easy to make paper?

Although he knows the general method, it is only on paper after all, and it still needs a lot of experiments, and it needs a lot of manpower and time to figure it out.

Just when Zhao Tuo was thinking about all kinds of things, King Qin had put down the bamboo slips in his hands, and looked at Zhao Tuo quietly with his eyes behind his eyes.

"Meet the king."

Zhao Tuo saluted respectfully and knelt aside.

King Qin went straight to the point: "Li Si said that you want to join the army."

Zhao Tuo nodded quickly: "Wei. Although I am young, I still have some strength. I am willing to serve in the battlefield and fight for the great cause of the king's unification of the world."

The king of Qin was noncommittal about this, and he said lightly: "Don't you want to go to the room to study the Fa?"

Zhao Tuo was shocked.

classroom.

It is another way for Qin to become an official besides military merit.

Qin ruled the world by law, and naturally needed a large number of legal professionals, so the school was born.

Those who enter the room are called "disciples" and can enjoy certain privileges, such as exemption from corvee and military service.

School disciples learn from officials. In addition to learning to write names and recognize famous objects, the most important learning task is to learn laws and regulations.

They must memorize legal documents thoroughly and use them flexibly. After some inspection and practice, if they pass the test, they can be appointed as officials and directly enter the official career.

It can be said that the road of learning has similarities with the imperial examinations of later generations. As long as you study hard, you can become an official without worrying about your life. You don't need to fight people on the battlefield like obtaining military merit.

Moreover, the school room is not something that ordinary people can get into if they want to.

"Qin Law · Internal History Miscellaneous" has a saying: "If you are not a Shizi (also), don't dare to learn from the school, and those who break the order are guilty."

Those who are not the son of "Shi" are not allowed to study in the classroom, and those who violate it are crimes!

King Qin allowed Zhao Tuo, who was not qualified to enter the school, to enter the school, which was a kind of favor.

But Zhao Tuo just thought about it for a while, and then denied this idea.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty's kindness has already been understood. But I don't want to bury my head in the school room, and I am willing to join the army to fight and fight for military merit."

The corner of Qin Wang's mouth curled up, and he said jokingly: "So, you want to go to the battlefield. It's not for the great cause of unification, but because you want to make meritorious service."

King Qin saw through him, and Zhao Tuo was not timid at all.

He raised his head and said: "A man lives in the world, he will be a marquis in life, and he will be a temple food in death!"

Thank you Qin Baobao for your reward, thank you!
