I’m The King

In the prison, without seeing the sun, Lu Chao could only use the approximate time of a day to dine to infer what time it was. In the prison, there was one meal each morning and the other night. When eating dinner, it should be dark outside.

After returning from Shannan County, he was directly arrested and imprisoned by officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He didn’t know what his mother was doing now, but Lu Chao didn’t worry about it. For one thing, Lu Bin would take care of his mother. Secondly, the teacher is still in Xianyang. , With the teacher, the mother would not be bullied by others.

The cell door was pushed open again with a bang. Lu Chao raised his head. With the light from the torch in the cell, he saw the cell head leading the two people in. He stood up quickly, and rushed to the fence a few steps, Portom. Kneeled down with a cry.

"mother!"

Mrs. Lu has long lost the dignity of her time in Fufeng and Liaoxi. Her face is full of frostbite from running around in the harsh winter. The original mottled hair, in just over a month, has all become Up white. Seeing the long iron chain attached to Lu Chao's body, she couldn't help but wailed.

Across the fence, the mother and son hugged tightly, and Lu Bin, who followed Mrs. Lu, couldn't help tears.

"Mother, are you okay? Did you find a place to settle down?" Lu Chao asked, holding back the sadness in his heart.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, butler Lu rented a small yard, and we have settled down. Chao'er, you, you have suffered." Touching Lu Chao's thin face, Mrs. Lu held it back. Tears.

"I'm fine. This is more than a month, but I have been the most leisure time in the past few years, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, if this continues, I will almost become a pig!" Lu Chao smiled.

"My son, you have lost a lot of weight. Where can people live here?" Lu Bin wiped his tears. One side said.

"Why can't I live? I'm a sinner, where are there so many demands!" Lu Chao shook his head, "Housekeeper Lu, what I told you. How are you doing?"

"Since this period of time, my wife and I have been running around for these things, and we have made some progress, but all the money that my wife brought from Liaoxi has also been sent out." Lu Bin squatted down and said in a low voice: " In order for the son to make atonement with silver, the lady gave out one hundred thousand taels of silver just by giving gifts."

Lu Chao nodded, "For the crime of losing Shannan County, it should be a decisive decision. It has not been judged until now. It should be that the silver has worked, and the silver is gone if it is gone. As long as people can get out alive, they can go out again. Earn it, butler Lu. Have you seen the teacher?"

Lu Bin shook his head, "Everyone Li has always lived in the palace, where can I meet my wife?"

Lu Chao was silent for a while, "I don't expect the teacher to ignore me, butler Lu, all the money in the family has been taken out, how can mother and you live now?"

"Although the large sums of money have been sent out. But the old slaves still have some accumulations. There is no problem to survive this winter, but in a few months, there will be a deficit. I have already followed some of the family members from home. It’s all gone, so I can save a few mouths. Cut some rations."

"Now you and your mother are the only ones left at home?"

"Yes!" Lu Bin lowered his head, "My son, it's useless to be an old slave, and even the girls around the old lady have passed away."

"Thanks for your hard work!" Lu Chao closed his eyes slightly, "After I come out. I will never treat you badly."

"What are you talking about? The master saved my life. All this is done by the old slave. As long as the old lady is safe, the boy will get rid of this disaster soon."

"Wait, everything will be okay." Lu Chao nodded, dragging the chain to the corner, and fetching a large stack of paper from wherever he went, "Drag the teacher's blessing, in prison, I didn't eat What kind of suffering, I still need pens, inks, papers and inkstones. These are the political gains and losses of Shannan County that I have summarized over the years, and what Daqin should pay attention to if we run these places again. You can take them out and give your ideas to my teacher."

"It's the son!"

"Go back with your mother. The big prison is very cold. The mother is weak. Staying here for a long time will hurt her body. Mother, you can go too. Don't worry, the son will be out soon." Lu Super looked at Mrs. Lu and whispered.

In the palace of Xianyang, in the highest hall, King Qin Wulie is sitting cross-legged on the black marble floor as before. The clear lines on it outline the geographical map of the entire Central Plains. What is different from the past is that the former South Korea’s territory has now been included in the territory of the State of Qin. Although Xinzheng has not won it yet, in the eyes of King Qin Wulie, this is just a matter of time.

Opposite him, a thin old man was sitting on a cotton pad, smiling and looking at a stack of paper in his hand, while on his side, the other person looked at his nose and his heart, sitting still, but The head of the Black Ice Platform, waiting for Zhongli within the pass.

Although he lost Shannan County, King Qin Wulie still seemed to be in a good mood. He was very interested in pulling the lines under him with his fingers. Indeed, the loss of Shannan County was a loss, but for Qin's current strategy, it was not bad. It's not a big deal. This was a game of gossip to contain Zhao Kingdom, attack Zhao Kingdom, and destroy Zhao Kingdom. The current Qin Kingdom is still incapable of catching it. Only after taking Han Wei and defeating Chu Kingdom, Qin Wulie King Only then will his gaze really turn to Zhao Guo.

"The younger brother is arrogant. I'm afraid that I've received a heavy blow this time. I'm afraid it will be sad." King Qin Wulie knocked on the marble floor and said with a big smile, "Especially this person who defeated him. It's actually the lofty place he has never looked down upon, and I am afraid it makes his heart stunned even more."

The old man on the opposite side put down the paper in his hand, smiled and said, "Lu Chao is very talented, hardworking and studious, and he can endure hardship. His energy to endure hardship is something you couldn’t match back then. Of course, your status and status. It's also very different."

King Qin Wulie laughed, "Knowing that the teacher, you value this little junior, but I didn't expect to value it so much."

"Of course I value it!" The old man said indifferently: "You have strengthened Daqin with my academics, and will dominate the world in the future, but I am more optimistic about letting Lu Chao carry forward my doctrine and inherit my orthodoxy. But he is too arrogant. This time, he suffered a lot of setbacks, which is a good thing for him. The sword's edge is self-hardened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Don't suffer a few times, and know the difficulties of doing one thing."

"Well!" King Qin Wulie nodded: "This time it seems that Junior Brother has indeed received some lessons. What does the teacher think of what he summed up from the prison?"

"It's still very pertinent. I didn't lose my head because of this failure, and the summary of this failure is also in place. I didn't blame everything on Gao Yuan's cunning, but reflected on our Daqin's governance in Shannan County. Gains and losses, this is the most important thing. In the future, when we retake Shannan County, his experience can be put to great use." The old man smiled.

"Yes, after we defeated the Huns, we only wanted to prevent the Huns from gathering together again. But we did not expect to use these Huns as our own. This mistake caused Gao Yuan to catch a righteous man. We can bring in several Huns tribes for support. How can they easily succeed this time?" King Qin Wulie sighed.

"This matter is extremely easy for Gao Yuan. But for us, it is very difficult." Zhongli on one side shook his head and said: "The Xiongnu were defeated by my Daqin, and even their royal court was destroyed by the Yingying prince. , And Wang Xiao killed tens of thousands of Huns captives at the Holland Pass. This made the Huns extremely hostile to us. On the other hand, they were lofty and had always been friendly with the Huns. He did this with half the effort. We, I am afraid, It's half the effort."

"That being said, there is no shortage of people in the world who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The lofty strength is compared with that of Da Qin. It is really not worth mentioning. It is not too late to fix it, Zhong Li, this matter. You want Go ahead and do it. Gao Yuan took Shannan County, but transferred it to Zilan. It was nothing more than trying to contain us. If we can plant one or two Xiongnu tribes, invade Daijun and cut off the logistics channel from Daijun to Shannan County. , Shannan County will definitely return to my hands in the near future."

"The King's remarks are justified. The Zhao country is not satisfied. Zilan can't get the support of Zhao King. It is very difficult to deal with us with the power of a county. In addition to this, we should send people to Zhao country to continue. The conflict between King Zhao and him has fueled the flames. Many people sparked gold and destroyed the bones. Over time, there will be conflicts that are difficult to reconcile between the two people. With Zao Wou-ki's mind, most of them must be right. Zilan starts, if this is the case, which generation of county will be chaotic, and it will be easy for our army to replace the county." The old man said.

"Yes, after I get down, I will arrange this immediately!" Zhong Li leaned forward.

"Teacher, the younger brother is almost fed up with sin, and some people in the DPRK have also asked him to discuss the crime and pay the silver to redeem his sin. It happened to borrow the donkey from the slope, but the teacher thinks where the younger brother should be arranged. , Is it the most suitable?" Qin Wulie Wang said with a grin.

"Let him go to Li Xinjun to commit crimes and meritorious service!" The old man said: "General Li is just around the corner, and Lu Chao is also very talented in governing the party. Let him go to Korea to raise military supplies for General Li on the spot, and let Li The general will be able to plot Wei state in the coming days without any distractions."

King Qin Wulie closed his palms together, "The teacher's words are just what I want. The younger brother is talented, let him grind for a few years, and in the future, he will be able to help me."

Zhong Li on one side also smiled and said, "Lord Lu is a rich man in his house. This time, in order to invite that person to propose a guilt and pay the silver, he actually gave that person one hundred thousand taels of silver. As far as I know, Mrs. Lu is willing to give it all. , Master Jiulu is released from prison."

"Just asking someone to talk about the item gave out one hundred thousand taels of silver." King Qin Wulie's eyes widened. "No wonder that person worked so hard this time and saved me from finding another way. I don't know how much Ms. Lu has prepared?"

Zhong Li stretched out a slap, "Five hundred thousand taels!"

As soon as this sentence came out, even King Wulie Qin took a breath. "Unexpectedly, the younger brother's family is so rich?"

"The father of Chao'er used to do business in partnership with Gao Yuan, and he almost monopolized the entire wine industry in the country of Yan. It is no surprise that he saved such a fortune." It was set at five hundred thousand taels, and General Li used his troops. Although Lien Chan continued to win, the treasury was empty and tight, and it was just used to supplement it.

"Well~www.wuxiaspot.com~ doesn't it seem embarrassing?" King Qin Wulie touched his chin and smiled dryly.

"It is to let Chao'er have nothing at all to inspire his greatest motivation!" The old man smiled, "If he is not driven to a dead end, how can he be truly talented?"

King Qin Wulie swallowed. This teacher was really cruel, but when he thought of how he dealt with him back then, he didn't think differently. He smiled at the moment, turned his head and said to Zhong Li: "Zhong Li, the person who collected the money, don’t make him feel better than Luo. When the little brother is over, you have to find a mistake. You have to let him pay the hundred thousand dollars. Don't spit it out."

"Subordinates understand that they will definitely include these hundred thousand taels of silver in the treasury!" Zhong Li nodded.

The three of them settled everything here in a few words, and then they left the matter behind. For them, this fact was not worthy of exposure.

"Zhong Li, you went out this time and stayed in Liaoxi for a long time, and you also saw my junior and senior brother. Tell me, what do you think of that Gao Yuan?" The old man said to Zhong Li: "To be honest, this one I didn't care about Gao Yuan before, but since my junior brother couldn't be lonely, and ran to vote for him, I was a little interested."
