499. the 499th chapter against the dragon scale
It was not that Zhang Yi could not break the Qin army's siege in Mianchi. He had to wait until the most appropriate time. He could tell Ying Si the way to solve the problem when Qin Jun Ying Si was desperate.
Qin Jun Ying Si felt that he had put his posture low enough. He rarely took the initiative to beg others in a low voice. Today, he did it at Zhang Yi's mansion, but of course he still felt a little unhappy when he did it.
But Zhang Yi did not buy it. He lowered his head, thought about his thoughts, and his expression was very calm, as if he ignored Ying Si's condescending plea, and was still doing his own thing.
Ying Si waited for Zhang Yi to say his suggestion, and waited for more than two minutes, but Zhang Yi occasionally raised her head and talked to Le Liji for a few words, but did not answer Ying Si's question directly.
Ying Si's anger ignited unconsciously, and he thought to himself: "You are a small man from the six countries, how can you be proud of me, Qin? I looked up to you, but you didn't know how to raise your favor."
Ying Si's face became less and less beautiful, and his breathing became heavier. While talking to Zhang Yi, Chu Liji paid attention to the atmosphere at the scene. Later, he found that his brother Ying Si was already on the verge of being furious. He was worried that Ying Si would not be able to bear it and would make the situation stiff, so he said to Ying Si: "It's already late at night, so we'd better make a decision tomorrow."
As he said, he stood up, got off the seat, and went to wear his shoes. Ying Si's heart was furious, and he also stood up angrily. However, Zhang Yi was still not too slow, and he even refused to keep Ying Si and Chu Liji's departure at all.
Out of courtesy, Zhang Yi stood up and personally sent Ying Si and Chu Liji to the gate of the mansion, saying, "I'm sorry to send you two not far away, please walk slowly all the way."
Chuliji bowed to Zhang Yi and replied, "Mr. Zhang, please come back. I will come to visit you later when I have time." Qin Jun Ying Si ignored Zhang Yi at all. He walked straight to his carriage, and with the support of the eunuch, he got on the carriage and left.
Zhang Yi watched the two walk away. When he turned around and wanted to go back to the mansion, he saw the butler Zhang Tong standing outside the door without moving. Zhang Yi asked, "What else does Butler Zhang have to do? Why don't you enter the mansion quickly?"
Zhang Tong mustered up the courage and replied to Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang is rude. The young man can see that the identity of the guest was extremely noble just now. He seemed very angry when he left. He dared to persuade Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Zhang has no one to rely on in Qin State, and we are not easy to offend those people with special identities."
Zhang Yi felt that the butler was kind, so he smiled at Zhang Tong and said, "But do not take it to your heart, I have my own sense. Do you know who the guests are today?"
Zhang Tong shook his head and said he was unaware. Zhang Yi said, "Today's guest is the emperor of Qin today."
When Zhang Tong heard this, his body was so scared that he trembled slightly and replied, "No wonder he had such a great momentum. Hundreds of soldiers stood apart from the mansion. It turned out that he was such a noble person. Mr. Zhang couldn't afford to offend him!"
Zhang Yi was quite dissatisfied. He stared at Zhang Tong and instructed: "Don't worry, but Mr. Zhang, I will only make the king completely convinced me this time, and I will not make him hate me. You should do your best in my mansion. In the future, you will be the object of admiration for those tens of thousands of people in Qin."
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he crossed the threshold and entered the mansion, ignoring the reaction of the butler Zhang Tong. He hummed a song from Wei Guoxiang and went back to his bedroom to rest.
When Zhang Tong heard the beautiful prospects depicted by Zhang Yi, he couldn't believe his ears. He shook his head gently, thinking that Zhang Yi's words were too fake and exaggerated. However, even if he was not full of faith, he could be favored by the king and came to visit him in person, which was a huge face in Qin State. Zhang Tong still looked at Zhang Yigao in his heart.
Ying Si waited for Chuliji to say goodbye to Zhang Yi, and got on the carriage. He said angrily: "I don't know what these little people from the East are worthy of being proud of, arrogant and arrogant. The former Su Qin was like this, and today I can't see his junior brother Zhang Yi."
Chu Liji ordered the eunuch who drove the car and said, "Send you back to Xianyang Palace immediately." Then, he sat down next to Ying Si. Chu Liji was very dissatisfied with Brother Jun's performance in Zhang Yi's mansion today. At this moment, he felt that if he kept following Ying Si's spirit and did not refute his brother's words, he might not be able to wake up from his self-inflated dream.
Chu Liji's face was calm. He did not respond to Ying Si, but paused for a moment, and seemed to be thinking carefully. Chu Liji solemnly said to Brother Jun Ying Si: "I have a few words that I don't know whether to say it or not, for fear that Brother Jun will not be able to stand it after it is said."
Ying Si looked at his younger brother, feeling strange, and thought to himself, "What are you trying to control again? Do you think I'm not upset enough?" He replied, "My brother has anything to hide from you, just tell me, how can I blame my brother easily?"
Chuliji said: "We think Zhang Yi is arrogant and rude, and think he is as arrogant as Su Qin, but is it possible that the facts are just the opposite? In their opinion, we are just arrogant and autistic, not understanding people and cannot recognize the situation?"
After Leji finished speaking, he looked at his brother carefully. His words were really energetic. In order to ease a little, he deliberately said "we" and was willing to take responsibility for his brother. In fact, Leji really felt that his brother Ying Si was stubborn and refused to let go of the arrogant attitude of the monarch.
However, when the ups and downs are coming today, all the princes are rushing to recruit talents. In order to attract talented people for their own use, no monarch can really take himself too seriously and be arrogant everywhere. His father, Duke Xiao of Qin, finally recruited Shang Yang and thoroughly implemented reforms, and the Qin State was completely renewed.
After his father passed away, his brother Ying Si ascended the throne. He first avenged his personal revenge, and the car broke up with Shang Yang, a hero with outstanding achievements. This led to the fear of the Qin State and the situation in the country. This was also the reason why he was determined to live a pastoral life and could not ignore national affairs. Chu Liji felt pain in his heart, but he knew best.
Now the foundation of the Qin army laid by Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang is facing the crisis of collapse. Out of national concern and out of pain for his father's hard work, he made up his mind to go against the dragon scale and say harsh words, hoping to make Ying Si clear his mind.
Ying Si heard his younger brother say what he said. At first, he felt that his younger brother was nothing, but when he thought about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. He thought to himself: "Didn't my brother compare me to that stubborn and stupid monarch? Although you said it tactfully, do you think I can't hear it?"
Ying Si replied angrily: "What I saw from my brother is different from that of Ji. I still think that the people from the six Eastern countries who come to Qin are not very reliable. We can use it for now, but if we entrust state affairs to them, I am afraid that these people will be robbed and sold Qin, and we will be kept in the dark."
Ying Si shook his head again and said, "The look of Su Qin's eyes above the top is really annoying. If he hadn't caused trouble in the past, how could I have lost a good general like Wei Se? If Wei Se was still alive and presided over the battle in Mianchi, it would probably not be the situation today. I really regret it!"
Ying Si said, and remembered the remarkable achievements of Wei Seo when he was alive, leading the Qin army to expand territory and fight south and north. He couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.
When Chuliji saw his brother sad, he felt uncomfortable. He knew that Ying Si was very unhappy, but Chuliji had already made up his mind to carry out the unpleasant advice.
He continued, "Brother Jun misses the good general General Wei Zhu, but have you ever thought about it? Wei Zhu is not born and raised in our Qin State. He was originally a prince of Wei, but later he was deceived by Shang Yang to Qin State."
"When it comes to Su Qin, I think this person should not be underestimated. The lesson he taught Qin is enough. If we are not alert in the Battle of Anyi, then what should we do about the current Battle of Mianchi? It cannot be said that we still haven't suffered from Su Qin. I believe that the Qin State in our country has always underestimated Su Qin and the coalition alliance advocated by Su Qin, which is the fundamental reason for the defeat of Mianchi. I dare to say bluntly that Brother Jun can understand it."
Chu Liji finally couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with his brother. He remembered the ending of Wei Zu. In fact, the Qin people's complaints about Jun brother Ying Si because of Wei Zu's death. I still remember the scene when Wei Zu pacified the Qin Dynasty's century-old troubled Yiqu Kingdom and returned to Xianyang City to meet him in a deserted alley. It is still vivid in my mind. Chu Liji himself met him dozens of miles outside Xianyang City.
Chuliji also deeply felt that Ying Si was too subjective and conjecture in dealing with Su Qin's entry into Qin and lacked tolerance. If Brother Jun had not been too forced, Su Qin might not have the determination to fight against Qin to the end.
Leliji's words were very direct, which made Ying Si's face turn blue and white. He was difficult to accept at first, and he really wanted to scold his younger brother for being offended, but after calming down, he had to endure it. Because the war in Mianchi was in urgent need, he could not even drive away his younger brother who was close to him.
Ying Si sighed. After calming down, he thought about the dealings he had with Su Qin, but he had to admit his fault: at least he underestimated Su Qin's strength and lacked enough attention to this person who was a bit arrogant and acted rather unruly.
