Although Cheng Qiao, Ying Zheng, and Lu Buwei have reached an agreement on the matter of the Academy, it will definitely not be possible to implement it in a short time, and the matters involved are countless.

Fortunately, no matter how difficult it is, as long as the boss is serious, there is nothing that can't be done. As the saying goes, be afraid of seriousness in everything.

In order to facilitate the completion of the academy as soon as possible, the three people discussed and decided to assign officials to be responsible for this matter. The assigned officials temporarily ignored the court affairs, and soon the officials, mainly Sikong Prefecture and Shaofu Prefecture, were finally established.

In order to show their attention, Lu Buwei, the prime minister, and Cheng Qiao, the monarch of the Qin State, personally paid attention to the progress of the academy and urged the officials.

Mainly because Cheng Qiao kept an eye on him. Lu Buwei was busy with government affairs and usually only checked in every few days.

The superiors paid attention to it, and the people below naturally did not dare to neglect it. Moreover, the officials of the Qin State were already very efficient at this time. In just a few days, they selected the construction site of the academy, and then while designing the academy, they mobilized craftsmen and civilians.

On this day, Cheng Qiao had nothing to do. He took Jing Salamander on a carriage and entered the palace, preparing to visit Concubine Yan and Moon God. When he was about to approach the palace gate, something unexpected happened.

"Your Majesty, the people below have something urgent to report."

The motorcade stopped on the street at the entrance of the palace. The captain of the guard on horseback came to the carriage, turned over and dismounted, bowed and clasped his fists, and said respectfully.

"Send it up."

Soon, a dark copper box was presented. Cheng Qiao frowned slightly. He needed to use a cipher box to transmit information. The matter involved must be a big deal.

"Where did it come from?"

"Wei State."

Cheng Qiao's brows widened when he heard this. If it was from Wei State, it would be no surprise that it was that matter.

He was thinking about the appropriate time to remind him. After all, the matter involved was too big and there was not enough evidence. Qin could not make a big move. Now that the evidence was coming, it would be better to talk about it sooner rather than later, so he might as well talk about it today.

As soon as he thought about this, Cheng Qiao stretched out his hand and quickly flipped the code plate a few times. Click, the box opened gently, and a letter lay quietly in the box. When he picked it up and took a look, it was exactly what he expected. .

"Send someone to invite Prime Minister Lu to Yong Palace and say that we have something important to discuss."

"Here."

"I remember General Meng Ao. General Wang Jian is also in Xianyang now. I sent someone to invite him as well."

"Here."

Since a big event happened to happen today, it was naturally impossible for Cheng Qiao to go to Concubine Yan and Moon God first. Men should not neglect private matters for business purposes. It would not be too late to go after the business was settled, and the two women would not run away anyway.

After getting off the carriage, Cheng Qiao looked at Jing Salamander and asked with a smile: "Go and accompany my mother for me?"

The startled salamander's pretty face turned red, its long and shiny black eyelashes drooped, and she nodded gently.

Mrs. Han and Jing Salad knew each other well. Mrs. Han went to stay in her son's new mansion for a few days, and Jing Salad stayed with Cheng Qiao these days.

Of course, it is impossible for Jing Salamander to wear an assassin costume or carry a sword in front of Mrs. Han. Jing Salamander, who has put on a long skirt, has a quiet and elegant temperament, and has a sense of tranquility over time. Coupled with his outstanding appearance, he is quite popular. Mrs. Han loves it.

"Go ahead and I'll pick you up after we've finished the discussion."

Cheng Qiao smiled gently, and as he spoke, he moved his dog's paws and grabbed the two white, slender, silky and warm hands of the scary salamander.

As a top-notch swordsman, it stands to reason that Jing Salamander's hands should have traces of years of practicing swordsmanship, but Jing Salamander's hands are just like those of a lady from a noble family.

Cheng Qiao asked during a chat before and found out that Jing Salamander, as a rare female assassin, was treated somewhat differently from men. His hands were specially treated with secret medicine in order to perform special tasks one day in the future.

The blush on Jing Salamander's face became more and more obvious, and he felt helpless and sweet in his heart. He whispered: "How can I leave if you are like this?'

Of course Cheng Qiao knew that Jing Salamander couldn't leave, but he was just trying to tease him. He gently squeezed Jing Salamander's hands and let go. He smiled and said, "Let's go."

Jing Salamander hesitated for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Cheng Qiao, then quickly lowered his head and said softly: "Come early."

Seeing this little daughter's attitude, Cheng Qiao felt very happy and said with a smile: "I know."

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Jing Salaman turned around and left. Cheng Qiao glanced at the servants around him who pretended not to see anything, then turned around and walked towards the Yong Palace.

…

In the side hall of Yong Palace, Ying Zheng was sitting upright, holding a bamboo scroll. He was so absorbed in looking at it that he didn't notice Cheng Qiao entering the hall.

Seeing this, Cheng Qiao quickly asked his chamberlain not to disturb Ying Zheng, and he found a random place to sit down, closed his eyes, and practiced his kung fu silently.

A quarter of an hour later, Ying Zheng woke up, looked up and saw Cheng Qiao, and said in surprise: "Brother, when did you come?"

"I just came here not long ago. I saw Brother Wang engrossed in reading, so I didn't disturb Brother Wang."

"What book made Brother Wang so fascinated?" Cheng Qiao asked curiously.

"The author of the book that was just introduced to the Qin State is called Han Fei. This man is really a great talent. Although I have only read a small part of it, I can't wait to make friends with him now."

As Ying Zheng spoke, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of joy and anticipation, as if he had found a soulmate in his life.

Hearing this, Cheng Qiao thought to himself: Could it be that Han Fei's "Gu Anger", "Five Worms", "Inner Reserve Theory", "Outer Reserve Theory", "Shuo Lin", "Shuo Nan" and other works have already been published?

Historically, Han Fei's works came out very early. At that time, Ying Zheng was only six or seven years old. However, in this world, Han Fei's identity was different. He was not Han Wang'an's uncle, but became Han Wang'an's son. Much late.

"Brother, do you want to take a look?"

Good things should be shared together. Ying Zheng thought Han Fei's book was a good thing, so he couldn't wait to recommend it to Cheng Qiao, just like the old bookworms in later generations couldn't help recommending a good book to others.

"Okay, I would like to see what kind of book makes Brother Wang so fascinated..."

"Ask someone to prepare a copy for me, and I'll take it home to see."

The first generation of Cheng Qiao had heard of the name of Han Fei's work, more than once, but he had never read it. Now that he had the opportunity to see the original version, he didn't want to miss it.

"Don't take it back home. Don't I know your virtue, little brother?"

"There may not be much more to come after you bring it home, so I'll just read the beginning here."

After saying that, Ying Zheng stood up and walked to Cheng Qiao, stuffed the bamboo slips in his hands into Cheng Qiao's hands, then called for the servant to bring a cushion, and sat down next to Cheng Qiao, staring at Cheng Qiao with bright eyes.

Cheng Qiao was a little confused when he saw Ying Zheng's actions. Is his desire to share so strong?

"Unlike those books that you were not interested in before, this book has something to say and profound implications. As long as you take a quick look, you will definitely become interested."

"I have to cultivate your interest first. Then you can finish reading the book when you take it back."

"When I finish reading it, we two brothers will have a good discussion."

Ying Zheng smiled and patted Cheng Qiao on the shoulder, revealing his fox tail.

Cheng Qiao smiled helplessly. After working for a long time, it turned out that you wanted to have someone who could discuss the plot. The intensity of this sales pitch would definitely make you a hardcore old bookworm in modern times.

Having already talked about it to this extent, what else could Cheng Qiao say?

Look!

Watching Cheng Qiao open the bamboo slips and start watching, Ying Zheng watched Cheng Qiao's expression intently, with a look of anticipation on his face...

"Indignation", when opening the slip, the first thing that caught Cheng Qiao's eyes were these two large characters, in Korean characters.

Of course Cheng Qiao can understand it, this is a basic skill for a normal powerful person.

…

Historically, Han Fei witnessed the poverty and weakness of South Korea in the late Warring States Period, and wrote to the King of Han many times, hoping to change the situation in which the country was governed without regard to the rule of law, and the country was not used for its purposes, and its people were not supported by its people. However, his ideas were never adopted.

Han Fei believed that this was an honest minister who would not tolerate evil and wrongdoing, so he retired and wrote books. At that time, Han Fei was twenty-four years old. "Gu Anger" was the first article Han Fei wrote after resigning.

Historically, Han Fei lived to be forty-eight years old. Judging from Han Fei's age, experience and knowledge at that time, it is reasonable and reasonable to write an article such as "Indignation". Later, he traveled around and studied under Xunzi, and wrote many magnificent articles.

But today Han Fei is roughly the same age as Cheng Qiao. He not only wrote "Gu Anger", but also "Five Beetles", "Nei Chu Shuo", "Wai Chu Shuo", "Shuo Lin" and "Shuo Nan" Wait until the books are published.

Although he was born in the royal family and had a huge collection of books for Han Fei to read, Han Fei was also diligent, but even so, he could still be called a genius.

Because no matter which article, light knowledge is definitely not enough, it also requires meticulous experience and in-depth thinking!

Han Fei's thoughts profoundly influenced Qin Shihuang Yingzheng and the Qin Dynasty. Even after the Confucianism was followed, its influence still existed, and some of its concepts are still very practical in modern times.

Is it true that the last person to be called "Zi" among the masters of Legalism was a false name?

…

After a few breaths, Ying Zheng suddenly asked: "How is it?"

"Brother Wang, I have only read the first paragraph, and I haven't even had time to think..."

Cheng Qiao looked at Ying Zheng speechlessly. Brother Wang today is not normal. He just finished reading an article "Indignation". No wonder in history, after reading all the works of Han Fei, he can say "If I can see If you hang out with this person, you will have no regrets even if you die."

This is a die-hard fan!

Ying Zheng rarely looked embarrassed when he heard this. If outsiders saw it, they would be shocked.

"I'm worried because of my brother. Little brother, please take your time and watch."

Cheng Qiao continued to read, but just after finishing a paragraph, a chamberlain stepped into the palace to report.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, General Meng, and General Wang are outside asking for an audience."

Ying Zheng was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't announce these people. What are they doing together?

Upon seeing this, Cheng Qiao put down the bamboo slips and explained: "Brother Wang, I invited them here."

"Is there a military or national event?"

Cheng Qiao nodded.

Although Ying Zheng is not yet in charge, he still has the right to know, and since Lu Buwei is no longer a powerful minister with monopoly power, he has no objection to Ying Zheng's involvement.

After all, sooner or later, Ying Zheng will be pro-government, and participating in it can also show one's intentions and gain favor.

Cheng Qiao also created an opportunity for Ying Zheng to get in touch with government affairs as early as possible, which would be beneficial to Ying Zheng's future governance.

Ying Zheng was also well aware of Cheng Qiao's kindness, but there was no need to express gratitude between brothers, as it would be too superficial.
