Chapter 281 Sir, You Disappoint Me
In front of King Zheng of Qin, Han Fei spoke eloquently and what he said made a lot of sense. The Kingdom of Han had obviously been very weak over the years, but it was still able to survive well between the big countries. The most important reason was that no country could bear the consequences of destroying the Kingdom of Han.
When Qi conquered Song, it broke the balance among all the countries in the world in one fell swoop, prompting all countries to put aside their past grudges and unite to attack Qi, directly destroying it.
After the Battle of Changping, the Qin army invaded Zhao and approached the city of Handan, almost destroying Zhao. But at this time, Wei and Chu sent troops. The two countries were also afraid that once Qin conquered Zhao, even if the other five countries joined forces, they would find it difficult to compete with Qin.
Of course, if Qin wanted to conquer Han now, it would not cause a balance among the countries in the world, because there is no balance among the countries now. Qin is the only superpower and Han is too weak. Even if Qin conquered Han, it would only have limited effect on the improvement of Qin's national strength.
But conquering Korea has another meaning, that is, the seven countries will be destroyed, which will force the monarchs of other countries to abandon their fantasies and face the reality directly. Once the monarchs of various countries have to face this cruel reality, once the countries unite, Qin's great cause will encounter many obstacles.
Of course King Zheng of Qin understood what Han Fei said. After all, his ancestors had tested the bottom line of various countries several times. Just more than ten years ago, his father had tried to conquer the State of Wei, but it triggered the alliance of various countries. Not only did the State of Qin fail to conquer the State of Wei, but it also lost most of the power it had built up outside Hangu Pass for many years.
How could King Zheng of Qin not have considered such a possibility? But now King Zheng of Qin still has to do it. It is not because he is unwise, nor because he is an arrogant person. On the contrary, although King Zheng of Qin owns the most powerful Qin State, he is not arrogant. When necessary, King Zheng of Qin can do anything.
In another time and space, when the Qin army was defeated by the Chu State, he took the initiative to go to Wang Jian to admit his mistake, which was enough to prove his broad-mindedness. King Zheng of Qin was a proud man, but he was not so arrogant that he could not recognize himself.
King Zheng of Qin's decision to attack and destroy the Kingdom of Han was not a sudden decision, but something he had been planning for a long time.
In order to achieve this goal, he devised a plan to encourage the Qin-Wei coalition to attack the State of Chu, causing Wei to completely become enemies with Chu. For this day, he continued to attack the State of Zhao to weaken its power.
Also in order to conquer Han, King Zheng of Qin tried his best to split Qi and used Tian Jian to involve Yang Chong.
It can be said that in order to conquer the State of Han, King Zheng of Qin had made sufficient preparations from the outside, and the situation described by Han Fei would never occur.
But Han Fei still said this. Is it because Han Fei’s wisdom makes him unable to see these things?
King Zheng of Qin did not believe it. In his opinion, Han Fei's ability was better than Li Si's. In the Qin court, both Wang Wan and Li Si were inferior to Han Fei. Moreover, he had not concealed from Han Fei what Qin had done in the past two years.
It is impossible for Han Fei not to know that Qin had already made sufficient preparations to conquer Han and was determined to win.
But Han Fei still said this. It is not difficult to imagine the reason. It was all because of selfishness.
"The Qin army has been transferred to Sanchuan County and it is impossible to withdraw it." After listening to Han Fei's reasons, King Zheng of Qin suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and decided to give Han Fei another chance.
After all, Han Fei was one of the few people who could understand his ambitions.
"Your Majesty, destroying Han will do more harm than good to Qin." Han Fei still wanted to struggle for Han.
"If it is just for the so-called interests, then Qin might as well do nothing. Sir, you know my lifelong ambition. Destroying the country is a step that Qin must take. Han just happens to be unlucky and is closest to Qin. It's not that I can target Han, it's just God's will." King Zheng of Qin said.
Han Fei wanted to defend himself, but he was at a loss for words for the moment, because he also knew that Qin's destruction of Han was not a mistake, and it could even be said to be a very correct decision.
King Zheng of Qin also needed to understand how other countries reacted to the destruction of Han.
If the Qin State's first target was Zhao State, it might cause other countries to feel grief over the loss of the other country. However, the destruction of Han State might not cause any waves, because Han State was too small and too weak.
If Qin destroyed Han, the other countries would probably think that Han was destroyed only because they were too small and weak, and they would feel that they were an exception.
As a smart man, he knew the principle of folding, and he also knew what South Korea and himself were about to face, but there were some things he had to do. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he would try, even if he might have to pay the price of his life in the process.
In life, there are things you do and things you don't do, and not everyone can do whatever they want.
"Your Majesty..."
Han Fei wanted to persuade him again, but he only heard the cold voice of King Zheng of Qin: "Sir, you disappoint me."
Qin Wang Zheng's words made Han Fei stop talking abruptly. Now, there was no need to say anything. Han Fei still knew that the fate of Han State was already doomed. To this day, no one could stop the destruction of Han State. Even if he had great abilities, it would be in vain in the face of absolute power.
"Just back off."
The voice of King Zheng of Qin cut off Han Fei's last glimmer of hope.
Han Fei could only leave the Xianyang Palace with a heavy heart. He did not notice that when he walked out of the palace gate, Li Si walked into the palace from another direction.
King Zheng of Qin valued Han Fei's talents and was reluctant to kill him, but the appearance of Li Si brought more variables to the matter.
King Zheng of Qin was reluctant to see Han Fei die, but Li Si wished Han Fei would die. Although there was only one word difference between the two, the meanings were worlds apart.
"Han Fei is still too bookish after all. If he cannot get rid of his bookish mentality, everything about him will only exist in those books." King Zheng of Qin said so when he saw Li Si.
Li Si was a talented person and also Han Fei's junior fellow student. Because of his love for Han Fei, King Zheng of Qin inevitably felt closer to him.
But at this time Han Fei made King Zheng of Qin quite disappointed, which made him quite disgusted after seeing Li Si. Li Si certainly knew this, but he still appeared at this time when he shouldn't have.
He was going to take that step and fight for his own future. In the Qin State, only one Li Si was enough, and there was no need for another Han Fei.
What he said at this time was to remind Qin Wangzheng that Han Fei was not irreplaceable. There was no difference between a living Han Fei and a dead Han Fei. As long as there were the books left by Han Fei, it would be enough. As for more, Han Fei was first and foremost the ninth prince of Han. "People with ideals are worthy of admiration. Since people with different ideals cannot work together, people like Han Fei cannot be denied," Qin Wangzheng said. His words did not seem to be a response to Li Si, but more like he was talking to himself. He was looking for a reason not to kill Han Fei.
"Your Majesty can make Han Fei face reality." Li Si bared his fangs.
"What do you mean?" Qin Wang Zheng's heart moved when he heard this, and he thought of a possibility.
"As the ninth prince of the Kingdom of Han, Han Fei has been accustomed to a life of luxury since childhood. He feels that the whole world revolves around him, so he always overestimates himself." Li Si was selling out his senior brother without reservation at this time.
"We need to make him face the reality." King Zheng of Qin pondered and had already made up his mind. Now he urgently wanted to change Han Fei's will. He wanted to transform Han Fei into the Han Fei he wanted. He, King Zheng of Qin, could conquer the world, but there was no way he could not conquer Han Fei.
Not long after, a team of guards from the Xianyang Palace, led by Zhao Gao, came to Han Fei's mansion, and then Han Fei was taken to the prison of the Supreme Court.
Han Fei was not surprised by what happened to him, but he had already anticipated this situation when he gave all kinds of reasons to save the State of Han in front of King Zheng of Qin.
Han Fei settled down peacefully in prison. He had tried his best for South Korea. In the future, both South Korea and he could only leave it to fate.
However, when Zhang Liang suddenly appeared in front of Han Fei, Han Fei's calmness was broken. How could Zhang Liang appear in the Qin prison at this time?
"Zifang, how could this happen to you?" Han Fei looked at Zhang Liang in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment. Even though he was considered one of the few smart people in the world, when he saw Zhang Liang at this time, he still found it difficult to understand what had happened.
"You finally got here." Zhang Liang looked at Han Fei, who looked good even in prison. While he felt a little relieved, he also felt more distressed and helpless.
Han Fei knew that it was dangerous but he still did it. If it weren't for Yang Chong's reminder and help, they might never see Han Fei again. This made Zhang Liang even more grateful to Yang Chong.
It can be said that the more miserable Han Fei is now, the more grateful Zhang Lian is to Yang Chong.
"What? Did you know it a long time ago?" Han Fei instinctively wanted to tease him, but when he saw Zhang Liang's solemn expression and thought that this was Qin's prison, he wondered what kind of hardships Zhang Liang had gone through to be here, and the friendship between them made him unable to tease him any further.
"You shouldn't have come. Qin is not Han. It's a den of dragons and tigers. Besides, although I'm miserable now, I shouldn't die." Han Fei continued.
Although Xia Tian's situation seemed miserable, it was actually not bad. King Zheng of Qin did not kill him immediately, but threw him into prison, which shows a certain mentality of King Zheng of Qin.
"Isn't it a very foolish thing to rely on the thoughts of others for your life and death?" Zhang Liang was not optimistic about Han Fei's optimism.
"I think I said that." Han Fei's face turned bitter. He couldn't refute this plan.
"The King of Qin may not have the intention to kill you, but that may not be the case for other people. The fact that the King of Qin has put you in jail shows that his mentality is wavering. If he listens to someone's slander at this moment, your life will be in danger." Zhang Liang said.
"I have connections in Qin," Han Fei said.
"This person must be your junior brother Li Lisi. The King of Qi once said that the person who will really take your life is not King Zheng of Qin, but Li Si." Han Fei said.
"King of Qi? Yang Chong, are you in touch with him? Is Honglian married to him now?" Hearing the distant title of "King of Qi", the figure of Yang Chong emerged in Han Fei's mind. Now Yang Chong has another identity, that is, his brother-in-law.
"The King of Qi said something to me." Zhang Liang did not answer Han Fei's series of questions, but continued with his own words.
"What?" Seeing that Zhang Liang did not answer him, Han Fei could only follow Zhang Liang's words.
"Qin only needs one of Han Fei and Li Si." Zhang Liang said. It was Yang Chong's words that made Zhang Liang determined to come to Qin. Through Yang Chong's words, he was able to grasp Li Si's mentality, and also understood that Li Si was determined to kill Han Fei.
"Junior brother, ah!" Han Fei sighed when he heard this. After Zhang Liang's reminder, he immediately understood. Based on his understanding of Li Si, Li Si was capable of doing such a thing.
"You must cooperate with me in what comes next. Only in this way can we escape from Qin." Zhang Liang said.
"You can't escape, Han Fei, you can't escape from here, Zifang, I don't know how you got here, but you'd better leave now." After knowing Zhang Liang's intention, Han Fei began to persuade Zhang Liang.
"I am absolutely confident this time. I have obtained three swords and three men from the King of Qi. With these three swords and three men, I will be able to take you away from Qin safely." Zhang Liang said.
"Zifang, you?" Han Fei wanted to say something, but suddenly his eyes widened. What did he see?
I saw a figure walking out from behind Zhang Liang. If that was all, Han Fei would not be so shocked. But things were not that simple, because the man had the same face as Han Fei.
"Who is he?" Han Fei subconsciously touched his face. Shouldn't his face be unique?
"Your Highness, the King of Qi, the black jade Qilin." Zhang Liang took the initiative to introduce the other Han Fei.
"The King of Qi really has so many talented people under his command!" Han Fei sighed. The man who boasted with him in Xinzheng back then is no longer the same after all. What seemed almost impossible in his eyes is just commonplace for Yang Chong. He doesn't even have to do anything himself. With one order, countless people will work for him.
Before Han Fei could say anything, Mo Yu Qilin stepped forward, threw his clothes to Han Fei, and sat back in Han Fei's original seat.
And Han Fei had actually become Zhang Liang's follower.
