Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 133 Discovery of Secret Letter

The snow in winter runs particularly fast. In a short while, the ground is covered with a thick layer of silver.

Zhang Yuanqing was wearing a thick fur coat, holding a heater in his hands, and standing on the corridor outside the door to enjoy the snow scene.

Hearing the coughs, Qingque wanted to drag Zhang Yuanqing back to the house.

At this time, Ada came hurriedly.

"My Lord, the King summons you to the palace."

After hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing frowned.

"What is the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Never."

"Prepare the car."

"promise."

A Da and A Er quickly arranged guards, and Qing Que took people to arrange the carriage.

Soon, Zhang Yuanqing arrived at the gate of Xianyang Palace under the protection of a group of people.

When the guards at the palace gate saw that it was the carriage of the Right Prime Minister, they naturally did not dare to stop it.

Just because the king has personally given the order, the right prime minister can drive directly into the palace.

I don’t know how many people are envious of this.

Zhangtai Palace

"Meet the king."

"Zhang Qing, please sit down."

"Fusu meets the teacher."

"This is a letter from Yan State that was intercepted a few days ago and sent to Xianyang. Mr. Zhang, take a look."

Fusu quickly stood up, took the letter from his father's hand, turned around and handed it to his teacher.

Zhang Yuanqing smiled and motioned for the young master to sit down quickly.

"Who do you think this letter is for, Zhang Qing?"

There were only two lines of words on the letter paper, saying that personnel had been arranged and they would be able to enter Xianyang soon.

There was no specific explanation of what the matter was. Ying Zheng started thinking about it since he received the letter yesterday.

"Then has the king found out who delivered the letter?"

What can we see from these two sentences?

Zhang Yuanqing was also helpless.

"The man committed suicide immediately after being discovered, so there is no way to investigate."

"It was also a coincidence that we found this letter this time."

"Teacher, it was Meng Lan who found this letter."

Fusu took over Ying Zheng's words and blinked at his teacher.

"Yesterday, Meng Lan went to the clinic to see Dr. Han Shui. On the way, she met a man in a hurry. She didn't pay much attention to him. Who would have thought that he would accidentally bump into someone else? If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be hit, but he actually dodged it quickly."

"Meng Lan was curious about this man's skills, so he wanted to recruit General Meng Wu to sit with him, so he followed him carefully. However, he was soon discovered by him, and he didn't expect that he would actually want to kill Meng Lan and his group."

"In order to capture this man, three of the Meng family's guards died. Who would have thought that after being caught, he would commit suicide directly."

"This letter was found on that man."

"When General Meng Wu learned about this, he felt that something was fishy, ​​so he took the letter to the palace and told my father."

"Zhang Qing, do you think this letter was sent to those protons?"

After much thought, Ying Zheng felt that only the hostages in Xianyang City were suspects.

I just don't know what they are plotting.

Who is going to Xianyang again?

"Your Majesty, those princes of the Old Han can be ruled out. Xinzheng is now peaceful. If the Old Han nobles have any suspicions, Ying Huo will surely notice."

Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and had a guess in his mind.

"The two princes of Chu are unlikely to do so."

"Prince Dan and Prince Ji still have a grudge against the King of Chu for murdering their father, so they will definitely not help the King of Chu."

"I believe it must be Prince Dan of Yan."

Is history going to circle back to the story of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin?

"But why is Prince Dan of Yan contacting the State of Yan at this time? I still cannot guess."

After hearing this, Fusu looked at Ying Zheng.

"I will order General Meng Wu to keep an eye on those coming and going from Xianyang City."

"If it is discovered that Yan State has any plans, I will not tolerate them."

"Your Majesty and Young Master should also pay attention to your own safety."

Zhang Yuanqing said worriedly, "We don't know their intentions now, but I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the king."

Although the Xianyang Palace was heavily guarded, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but worry.

What if.

In history, Jing Ke almost assassinated the King of Qin in the name of offering treasures.

There can't be any mistakes this time.

And there is Fusu.

If something happened to the eldest prince of Qin, it would be a heavy blow to the Qin State.

A few days later, the guards in Xianyang City were replaced.

Everything was going on quietly, and the people of Xianyang City continued to live as usual.

This wait lasted more than two months.

Winter has quietly gone away, and the spring sunshine makes people feel warm.

It's another year of spring plowing, and every household in Xianyang City has started to get busy.

The fields are sown with seeds, waiting for the harvest in autumn.

"My Lord, there is a man outside the door, claiming to be Tian Jing of the Mohist school."

"He said he had a crossbow blueprint to present to the Marquis."

Ah Da went into the study to report.

"Please come in."

"promise."

"Teacher, are you inviting your disciple in?"

Fusu walked in, bathed in the warmth of the sun.

"It's someone from the Mohist school."

Zhang Yuanqing put down the pen in his hand, put away what he had written, and then sat down.

"Why is there another person from the Mohist School?"

Fusu felt that there were too many Mohist disciples. Were there going to be thousands more?

"Whether he is useful or not, you will know once you meet him."

"Greetings to the Right Prime Minister."

Tian Jing came in holding the box, and Zhang Yuanqing was curious when he saw it.

"Sit down, you said you had the blueprints of a crossbow cart to give to someone, but what is in your arms?"

Tian Jing didn't sit down. Seeing Zhang Yuanqing asking this, he held the box in his palm and said, "That's right."

"If this crossbow chariot is built, it will be much more sophisticated than the current crossbow chariots of the Qin State."

"open to take a look."

Fusu also became interested. If this was true, the Qin State's combat effectiveness would be enhanced again.

Tian Jing glanced at Fusu, but did not answer because he did not know him.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing introduced Fusu: "This is the eldest prince."

"I've met the young master."

"Get up quickly."

"Right Prime Minister, please look, this is the blueprint."

As he spoke, Tian Jing opened the box, Zhang Yuanqing stood up and walked over, and Fusu followed curiously.

Zhang Yuanqing walked forward and took the drawing from Tian Jing's hand. At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

In an instant, a dagger flashed with cold light and stabbed towards Zhang Yuanqing's chest.

Fusu quickly pulled Zhang Yuanqing back a step and kicked Tian Jing on the wrist.

Tian Jing was kicked away by Fusu. After a moment of surprise, he rushed towards Zhang Yuanqing again.

At this time, Ada drew his sword and slashed at Tian Jing.

Tian Jing didn't dodge and stabbed Zhang Yuanqing.

Zhang Yuanqing was frightened by this sudden change and was dazed. Fusu pulled and pushed him and he almost fell to the ground.

"Quick, catch the thief."

Meng Wu rushed in with his men, and when he saw the situation in the room, his face turned pale with fright.

The soldiers filed in and quickly surrounded Tian Jing.

Tian Jinghan was not afraid of death. He was already prepared to die, so he swung the dagger in his hand faster and faster, and many of the guards beside him fell down in an instant.

It was about to reach Zhang Yuanqing.

Meng Wu slashed Tian Jing's back with a sword, and blood flowed out instantly.

However, at this moment, Tian Jing swung the dagger in his hand quickly and headed straight for Zhang Yuanqing.

Ah Da's strong and powerful body quickly blocked in front of Zhang Yuanqing and cut the dagger with a sword.

Without his weapon, Tian Jing was quickly captured by Meng Wu.

Soon, the news that You Cheng had been assassinated spread throughout Xianyang City.

Zhangtai Palace

Meng Wu came with the assassin.

When Ying Zheng saw Meng Wu, his eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze people.

Meng Wu was horrified.

My life is over.
