When Gan Luo returned to Xianyang, he had become a well-known figure in Xianyang. Perhaps because there was a nagging Shi Ling in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the news in China always spread quickly, including Gan Luo's mission to Zhao State and the return of sixteen cities for Qin State, it became a topic of curiosity for officials in Xianyang, especially Gan Luo's age, which was only twelve years old this year, and he was able to make such contributions, which was even more surprising.

Zhao Kuo, who was looking for locust eggs by the water seed and wanted to verify more information about locusts, couldn't help but sigh after learning about Gan Luo's actions: "People with lofty ambitions don't care how old they are. People who don't have ambitions and ideals in their hearts will live in vain even if they live to a hundred years old." The King of Qin was very happy. He summoned his ministers and met Gan Luo in the palace.

Gan Luo stood among the ministers, but he was no longer as free and easy as Zhao State. He looked a little restrained and nervous. He lowered his head uneasy. When the messenger shouted his name, he didn't even react. Then he saluted the King of Qin and almost fell down. His behavior disappointed the ministers. The ministers thought they could see what Wu Chengjun said about being ambitious, but they did not expect that he was so panic-losing.

Lu Buwei sat aside, squinted his eyes, pondered for a long time, but said nothing.

The King of Qin always smiled and comforted him: "You don't have to be nervous. You have the courage to go to Zhao State and are not afraid of being alone. Why are you so uneasy now? Is it because I am more cruel than King of Zhao? Or because the ministers sitting here are cruel?" The ministers couldn't help but chuckled, but Gan Luo stuttered: "The reason why I was not afraid when I went to Zhao State was because Zhao State was afraid of Qin State."

"How can I not be afraid of sitting here now is the most powerful king in the world and the ministers of the most powerful country?"

The King of Qin laughed and said, "Okay, you guys think, how should you reward him?" The ministers started discussing. Some people thought they could add titles to him, while others thought they could give him official positions... Everyone spoke, but Lu Buwei never spoke, but just squinted his eyes and was absent-minded. The King of Qin then looked at Lu Buwei with a smile, and he asked, "Prime Minister, how do you think, how should you reward him?"

Lu Buwei was stunned and said with a smile: "Ganluo made great contributions to regaining the city for Qin State... I think he should be rewarded with a title, so that he can temporarily hold an official position under the minister's office and temper himself..."

"How can this work?" The King of Qin interrupted him directly. Ying Zheng then smiled and said, "Ganluo has such great contributions. Without using troops, Qin State has obtained land. I want to worship him as the Minister. Give him a large area of ​​land in Liyang! Let's decide like this!" Lu Buwei's lips trembled, but he didn't say anything. He nodded, and the ministers were about to celebrate, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

Shangqing was a title under the title of the king, but the king did not clearly say which title of Shangqing was given to him, but he was only granted the title of Shangqing. At the same time, he was rewarded with the land and houses in Liyang, but did not give any official positions... This seemed to be to drive Ganluo out of Xianyang... The ministers still congratulated Ganluo one after another. Ganluo thanked the King of Qin for his heavy reward. This summoning was just over. After the ministers left, the King of Qin's face gradually became solemn.

He originally wanted to build momentum for himself through Ganluo and then achieve his goal of taking power. Unfortunately, Ganluo was still not smart enough. He chose the wrong direction. When he met such a calm person, he now acted so immature in front of all officials, which made him unable to promote him anymore. Everything he had arranged before was in vain, which made Ying Zheng really angry.

He thought that Gan Luo, who was also young and lofty ambitions, would choose himself and become his assistant to rule. He did not expect that even Gan Luo would not believe in his ability, which was the most difficult thing for Ying Zheng to accept. Therefore, in today's court discussion, he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the prime minister. First, he asked the prime minister's idea, then completely refuted the prime minister's proposal, and directly expelled Gan Luo from Xianyang in disguise.

At this time, Wang Jian and Meng Wu left and returned. In the original arrangement, they were the most critical figures. Wang Jian proposed that the King of Qin take power, and then Meng Wu brought the other young and strong sentries to support this view, using Gan Luo's deeds to build momentum for the King of Qin himself. During these days, the King of Qin even went to see Di, hoping that Di could promote Gan Luo's reality and let the Qin people see that young people may not be able to do big things, and then let them accept the fact that they can take power.

Unfortunately, because of Gan Luo's lack of cooperation, all this could not be implemented.

Meng Wu sat next to the King of Qin and then said seriously: "King, it seems that the Prime Minister is unwilling to let you take power. The first person to meet Gan Luo is the Prime Minister... He should have explained these in advance." Wang Jian shook his head and said: "It is not possible to conclude that this is the idea of ​​Gan Luo himself. Although he is young, he is meticulous. He probably does not want to participate in this matter, so he is like this."

Ying Zheng didn't care. He just shook his head and said, "No obstacle... I am old enough to participate in the training... The Prime Minister must not dare to continue to delay..." Ying Zheng quickly skipped Gan Luo's matter and then asked about the situation in Hejian. This year, Ying Zheng officially named Lu Buwei as Marquis of Wenxin and granted Hejian land to him as a fief. Ying Zheng had fulfilled the promise made by Yiren at the time.

Lu Buwei expanded his fiefdom in Hejian through Ganluo. Of course, this is not Lu Buwei for his own personal gain. This is an important strategy of Qin. At present, Qin has cut off the ties between Hebei and Henan. Then he kept nailing each other, surrounding these princes, disintegrating, and eating them in one bite... Sure enough, Lu Buwei has begun a migration plan and is constantly enriching the people of Hejian and increasing the defense power here. Even the king was sent here.

Speaking of this, the King of Qin shook his head helplessly. He really didn't understand what King Zhao was thinking, and why was he willing to give up his strategic location in Hejian for the sake of those unimportant cities of Yan State? However, it is a good thing to have such an opponent. Ying Zheng remembered that his father's evaluation of various countries at the beginning, and he must not be like them. Ying Zheng always reflected on himself, and there were these ready-made negative textbooks.

After saying goodbye to his important officials, Ying Zheng left the palace and went to see Changpingjun. Changpingjun was studying in the mansion. When he saw the King of Qin who came to visit him, he hurriedly got up to pay homage. After the two of them paid a visit, Qi frowned and asked, "Prime Minister Ling Dan returned to Yan State and sent warriors to expel him. He was packing up his things. Do you know about this?" Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know about this."

"Then why don't you dissuade me?"

"Because this is my order."

Qi was stunned, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly. He asked, "Even if he was asked to go back, he should be sent away. Why do you need to expel him? After all, he is our friend. Is it really appropriate to expel him so rudely?" Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "The King of Yan actually dared to send someone to question Qin and accused Qin of betraying his allies... This is a warning to Yan, and Qin's tough attitude towards Yan can also make King Zhao feel more at ease..."

"well..."

"Do you think I'm too ruthless?" The King of Qin looked at Qi who sighed in front of him and said seriously: "This is all for the sake of a king of the world, to save the people of the world. The longer the wars of various countries last, the more disasters they will cause..."

"Aren't you worried that the teacher will blame you?"

"My father is not in Xianyang, and more importantly, I do this to implement my father's ideals... I want to calm the war in the world, let all the people in the world become Qin people, no longer kill each other, so that they will not have to worry about food and drink, and that they will not be threatened by the cold winter! Nowadays, the countries are weak, and this is the best time for a king in the world. For such hegemony, several generations of Qin kings have been diligent in governing the country, and countless talents have rushed for it... How could I hesitate?"

Qi couldn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, Prince Yan was sorting out his own things in the mansion. At the same time, he was also waiting for his friends. Unfortunately, his friends had not arrived for a long time. Instead, the warriors around him were a little impatient. They kicked away Dan's packages irritably and kept pushing Dan. This was probably the biggest insult to the prince of a country. Dan was pushed out of the house by these warriors.

Sending protons back is completely different from expelling protons. Sending protons back usually requires gifts, and a carriage will be arranged to send protons respectfully back to his country. When expelling protons, the warriors will take sticks to drive protons out of their territory. Fortunately, these warriors did not hold sticks, but just kept pushing Dan, getting him onto the carriage, and throwing his things aside at will, and letting the driver send him away.

The warriors rode behind horses and supervised him.

Dan fiddled with his tilted crown because of his swallow suit. The pedestrians on the road looked at him strangely and smiled from time to time. In Dan's eyes, those smiles were so dazzling. His face turned red and he raised his head stubbornly, glaring at the passers-by. When the carriage was about to leave Xianyang, Dan was still turning back. Could it be that his friends really don't want to come and send him off?

When the carriage left Xianyang, Dan finally lowered his head, his heart was already full of coldness, just like the Yan State.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, Dan almost fell down while shaking. He raised his head and looked ahead. He saw two young men standing aside with a smile. It was not Qin Wang and Qi, but Kang and Cheng Chuang. Perhaps because of Wu Chengjun, the warriors did not make things difficult for them, and even stopped to allow them to say goodbye to Dan. Cheng Chuang looked a little hesitant and did not dare to step forward, but Zhao Kang didn't care about these things. He walked to Dan's side and asked, "You are leaving, why don't you say goodbye to us?"

"Although my father is not here, I, my mother, are all in the mansion!"

Dan hesitated for a moment before smiling and said, "Time is in a hurry, and it's really too late to say goodbye to you... Please say to your master's wife and the others, please forgive me for your mistakes. And the teacher, please tell him to take care of him... Don't always run around..." Zhao Kang nodded, and then said, "Okay! I understand!" He looked at the warriors around him and said, "He is my father's disciple. Whoever dares to humiliate him is humiliating my father! This is a crime to be executed!"

The warriors' faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, daring not to speak.

Zhao Kang then smiled and said to Dan, "Then I'll leave, please take care of yourself. I have always wanted to go to Yan State to see it. I have always heard that the snow in Yan State is very fun. When I go to Yan State to visit him in the future, you will be entertained by me!" Dan nodded and said, "It must be."

The carriage gradually left. Dan watched Zhao Kang walk towards Xianyang with his brother. His face gradually became firmer. Looking ahead, he smiled. The coldness in his heart seemed to be dispelled.

Zhao Kang was going to give away a lot of people today, and he wanted to give Yan Dan and Ganluo. Ganluo also wanted to leave Xianyang. However, his treatment was much better. Not only were there warriors who accompanied him, but also the retainers who took care of him. Just the gifts given by the King of Qin, he loaded seven or eight carriages, which were in a vast way. Zhao Kang looked at the gifts curiously, and then said, "Let me share these gifts!"

Gan Luo was naturally willing to give it to him, and Zhao Kang was not polite, so he took away one of the strong bows and an exquisite sword.

"I really don't understand why my brother asked you to leave? If you play football in the future, no one will assist me anymore!" Zhao Kang shook his head and Gan Luo smiled and said, "Actually, this is also very good. The Prime Minister gave me a lot of books. I can go and read them with peace of mind. These are all good books. Do you want to take a few books to read?"

Zhao Kang shook his head quickly and said, "You love studying so much, how can I take away what you love? That's not what a gentleman should do. You should take it to study by yourself!" The two chatted for a while, and Gan Luo also left Xianyang. Zhao Kang sighed, then looked at Cheng Qi beside him, and said, "In the end, there are only two of us left. Brother has not been home these days... It's okay if he doesn't go home, I'll be beaten if I don't go home. How unfair is this!"

Cheng Qi glared at him and said, "Can this be the same? My brother is busy dealing with government affairs if he doesn't go home. If you don't go home, you are causing trouble outside and dare not come back. It would be unfair if you don't beat you up! My father will be back soon. Have you finished memorizing the book he asked you to memorize before he left? If you don't recite it well, you will be beaten!"

"Don't worry, I'm ready..."
