Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 146: Suicide on the City Tower

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan chuckled.

But because he was seriously injured at the time, even the sound of his laughter could not be heard by others.

Watching the shouting and killing outside the city, Zhao Yuan was in a trance and returned to the day when he first followed his father to the battlefield.

It was just as heroic and murderous as today.

However, the father who would severely punish him for his mistakes is long gone, and the powerful State of Chu no longer exists.

As time goes by, the Chu State today is no longer the same as it was in the past.

When the Qin army rushed into the city.

Wang Jian led his men up the city wall step by step.

At this time, there were only a few personal soldiers left by Zhao Yuan.

At this time, all these people were holding swords in their hands and glaring at Wang Jian and others.

Wang Jian ignored their vigilance and stepped forward, bowing, "General Zhao Yuan."

Zhao Yuan turned around and looked at Wang Jian and also bowed: "General Wang Jian."

"You and I have been fighting for over a month, but I didn't expect that we would have a peaceful conversation under such circumstances."

Zhao Yuan raised his hand and asked his personal guards to put away their swords.

Looking at Wang Jian, Zhao Yuan felt admiration, regret, and helplessness.

"General Zhao Yuan's military tactics are unique, and I admire him greatly."

Wang Jian looked at Zhao Yuan, who was calm at this moment, and felt admiration in his heart.

"It is a blessing in life to be able to chat with General Zhaoyuan here."

"It is a blessing in life that General Wang Jian admires my abilities."

"I have no regrets about being defeated by General Wang Jian today."

"General Wang Jian, please treat the people of Chu with kindness."

"nature."

Wang Jian affirmed, "My great king has already issued an order that the Qin army must not indiscriminately kill those who surrender, and must not kill civilians without cause."

"King Qin."

Zhao Yuan smiled heartily, then drew his sword and committed suicide on the city wall.

Seeing the general like this, the personal guards glanced at the Qin army, drew their swords and committed suicide, following Zhao Yuan.

"Give General Zhaoyuan and his guards a proper burial."

"promise."

After Wang Jian gave his orders to the soldiers, he turned around and went down the city wall.

The Qin army captured another city and the victory news was sent back to Xianyang.

At this time, Zhangtai Palace

"Your Majesty, Young Master Jianglu has arrived."

After hearing Shi Yi's report, Fusu was puzzled.

Doesn’t Brother Jianglu dislike coming to Zhangtai Palace?

Why did you come here alone today?

Zigao was also confused, but he didn't say anything.

Ying Zheng finished dealing with a memorial and then looked up, "Let him in."

Then he picked up another book, read it, and handed it to Fusu.

"Fusu, come and take a look at this."

"promise."

"Jiang Lu pays homage to his father."

The eleven-year-old Jiang Lu has shed his childish appearance and has become an imposing and heroic man.

"Get up."

Ying Zheng was dealing with memorials without even raising his head.

Jiang Lu didn't mind and continued to talk about his own affairs, "Father, Jiang Lu also wants to go to the front of the war and attack the State of Chu for you."

?

Fusu raised his head without even putting down the memorial.

Why did A-di suddenly have this idea?

Zi Gao also put down his pen and looked at Jiang Lu in confusion.

Hearing his son say this, Ying Zheng finally reacted, raised his head and looked at the child.

"Why go to the pre-war period?"

Meeting his father's gaze, Jiang Lu unconsciously clenched his hands, trying not to show fear.

"Father, I will be a great general."

"Mr. said that everyone should have their own pursuits and dreams."

"My goal is to expand the territory of Qin, conquer vast territories, and relieve my father of his worries."

"Father, please let me go."

Once you can speak smoothly, you will naturally not be afraid.

This is the situation in Jianglu now.

"Father, I am a good martial artist. The teachers at the academy all praised me. I will definitely have no problem protecting myself on the battlefield."

Jiang Lu finished speaking and waited for Ying Zheng's agreement.

However, there was no answer from my father for a long time.

Jiang Lu became anxious and turned to look at his elder brother. He saw that his elder brother lowered his head and began to review the memorials. He then looked at his elder brother Zigao, who was also reviewing the memorials.

Helpless, he could only turn around and look at his father again.

"Have you thought about it?"

Jiang Lu, who had already given up hope, suddenly raised his head when he heard this and said, "I've made up my mind."

Finally, Ying Zheng looked at his son seriously and said, "Since you have considered it, I will allow you to go."

"Just follow General Meng Wu and don't cause any more trouble."

Jianglu looked at Ying Zheng happily and nodded repeatedly.

"Some father."

After Jianglu left, Fusu was about to say something when he was stopped by Ying Zheng.

"Go and tell Li Xin to come see me."

"promise."

Not long after, Li Xin walked in.

"Meet the king."

"Get up."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin and said, "Prince Jianglu was sent by me to follow General Mengwu. I am sending you along with him."

"Protect the young master well. If he dares to act recklessly, bring him back."

Li Xin was stunned.

He immediately agreed.

After Li Xin left, Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and asked, "What did you want to say just now?"

Fusu bowed and replied, "Father, my younger brother is still young. Since you are worried, why don't you wait two more years before letting him go?"

Fusu was really worried because his younger brother was only eleven years old.

On the battlefield, swords and knives are ruthless and things change rapidly. What if my brother gets injured?

Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu.

"Eleven is not young."

At the age of thirteen, I became the king of Qin.

"My child has such ambitions, so I will not stop him."

After saying this, he stopped talking and lowered his head to continue processing the memorials.

On Jianglu's side, he was touched when he heard that his father actually asked Li Xin to follow him to protect him.

Their father was always very busy, and they had few opportunities to see him since they were young.

Moreover, every time they saw their father, he was very strict, which made them all very afraid of him.

My eldest brother was like that before.

But ever since the teacher came, my eldest brother has stopped being afraid of our father.

And the father also cared more about them.

But it's just a little more.

Only the eldest brother can see the father at any time and receive personal instruction from the father.

He didn't understand why this happened before, but as he gradually understood more, he naturally understood it.

After all, they and their eldest brother are somewhat different in their father's heart.

Fortunately, the eldest brother later took his younger brothers to see the teacher.

The gentleman was very accommodating and treated each of them very well.

Sometimes I also dislike their noise.

But if they have any questions, the teacher will always patiently answer them.

And we will not despise them for being clumsy just because they don’t understand.

Instead, tell them that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

We should be good at discovering our strengths, and then work hard to turn our strengths into hobbies, and then turn our hobbies into interests, and then keep working hard to learn and strengthen ourselves. Eventually, we will shine in the areas we are good at.

He liked this sentence the first time he heard it from the teacher.

really like.

Then, he practiced martial arts hard every day to strengthen himself.

Now, he finally found his ideal.

Yes, that is the ideal that the gentleman talked about.

The teacher said that his ideal was for the Qin State to unify the world, for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, for all the mountains and rivers to become Qin territory, and for all the people to be illuminated by the sun and the moon to be Qin people.

His ideal was to conquer a vast territory for the Qin State.

Let every inch of mountains and rivers belong to the Qin State.
