Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism - #217 - Chapter 217

Han Fei took Honglian all the way to King Han’s palace.

Along the way, the entire Han Palace was desolate, winter was coming again, and the branches were falling. Looking at the withered branches, both Han Fei and Princess Honglian felt sad in their hearts.

No matter what, they were born in Korea and grew up in the palace. No matter what they experienced while growing up, no matter how indifferent the palace was, this was still their home.

But maybe starting from tomorrow, they, as owners, will be kicked out of their homes, and I don’t know if there will be a chance to come back here again.

“Not necessarily. With my relationship with my junior brother, maybe if I have a few nice words with him, I will be allowed to come back for a visit.”

Han Fei looked at Princess Honglian’s silent expression, and saw that this sister who had escaped from the past seemed to have suddenly grown up.

She lowered her head and said nothing. She no longer had the laughter and laughter she once had. Without the cheerful patting on his shoulder and calling Ninth Brother slyly,

Han Fei felt a pain in his heart. At such a young age, Honglian was about to experience the destruction of her country and her family, from a high-ranking princess to a subjugated country. Princess.

Even compared to the common people at the bottom, even if they, the royal family, are imprisoned, their lives are still much better. At most, they have no freedom.

But the more than a year that Han Fei has experienced has also made him understand the court’s rules better. Cruel.

Maybe the Qin State would treat them kindly at the beginning.

But when the land of Korea is completely annexed by the Qin State, and when the Korean people do not recognize their Korean identity, the lives of these royal families will also take a turn for the worse.

Because Their existence has become a trouble for the Qin State.

It may not take many years for such a result, at least in his own lifetime, Han Fei feels that he can see it.

The only one who suffers is the worry-free Honglian. A worried little girl, she has not yet experienced her own life, and she has to endure the huge gap in status and feel the teasing of fate. The brother and sister did not say anything, all the way to the palace of King Han.

In the past month At that time, King Han was not even interested in summoning his concubine.

When the Han Fei brothers came to the palace, there was already a crowd of people standing here. They were all members of the Korean clan.

This was Han Fei’s first It was the first time he saw so many people from the clan, even some of his brothers and sisters, many of whom Han Fei had never seen in his life. The palace was gloomy and people did not dare to speak out, but Han Fei could see See the deep fear in the eyes of these clans.

King Han, who is at the top, has lost a lot of weight from his once fat body, and his whole person looks very lack of energy.

King Han looks ten years older, and the sadness in his eyes makes him feel… People felt even more panicked and restless.

Han Fei and Honglian arrived later, and King Han didn’t say anything to them. At this time, King Han no longer had the strength or interest.

Now he looked like a waning old man, with nothing but confusion and emptiness in his heart.

After everyone arrived, King Han tried to cheer up and sit up straight. He looked at the royal family members present and looked at My sons and daughters said slowly:

“……I want to pass down the throne of King of Han. Which of you wants to be the King of Han?”

In the past, King Han probably wanted to keep his throne even to death, but now he is looking for his next home as if he is throwing away this hot potato.

Han Fei subconsciously looked at his fourth brother Han Yu.

If If my father said this in the past, I am afraid that the fourth brother would have jumped out and said some righteous words first, praising his father’s achievements and saying that no one else is qualified to become the King of Han.

But secretly, he must be thinking about how to make this happen. The throne was taken into his hands.

Now, the position of King Han was within easy reach, but Han Yu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, trying hard to lean back, hoping that King Han would not see him.

Whoever accepts the position of King Han at this time, then He will become the king of subjugation and leave a strong mark in the history books.

At this moment when Korea is bound to be destroyed, no one is willing to leave such a name in the history books that will make future generations laugh.

Han Fei I’m thinking that if it were me in the past, maybe he would have been moved because he wanted to reform and strengthen South Korea, and the position of King of Han was a position where he could better display his abilities.

But now, this King of Han Everyone was afraid to avoid him.

Wang An of Han was not disappointed when he saw this. It would be strange for anyone to accept the position of King Han at this time.

He paused and continued to speak slowly:”……Not long ago, Lord Chang’an of Qin State sent the head of the bloody Hou Bai Yifei, and also gave me an ultimatum.”

“If Xinzheng does not surrender, he will slaughter the entire royal family when the city is broken.”

After the words fell, many members of the royal family finally couldn’t bear it anymore. They were all restless and without a master, and there was even more noise.

Today’s Xinzheng has long been on the verge of collapse, and insufficient food and grass is the biggest problem.

The 50,000 defenders There is no turmoil yet, but no one knows when they will riot.

Ji Wuye even asked people to rob the people in the city to scrape together food and supply the army, but this kind of thing will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

The families of the 50,000 Xinzheng defenders , some of them are in other places in Korea, and will soon become prisoners of the Qin State. The remaining family members are in Xinzheng, which will be even worse.

If there is enough food and grass, these defenders may fight to the death in order to protect their families..

But when there is not enough food in the city, the families of these defenders begin to have enough to eat and may starve to death at any time. How can they stick to their posts without fear of their lives?

When no one has enough to eat, perhaps the defenders will find out. , compared with the nearly 100,000 Qin army outside the city, the King of Han in the palace is easier to kill.

Now, the only people in Xinzheng who still have enough food are the Korean nobles.

But the power of these people is intertwined. It is not easy for the King of Han to take action against them.

Because the King of Han knows that as long as he dares to attack these nobles, they will rebel immediately and kill himself, the King of Han, and then surrender to Qin.

With this thought, King An of Han Looking at his clan members again, he could notice that some people were eager to move, with madness in their hesitation.

Han Wangan understood what the madness in those eyes was. If he still insisted on resisting at this time, I am afraid these clan members would also kill them first. Get rid of him, and then elect a new King of Korea to surrender.

After all, Korea now has no capital to resist. If they really wait for the Qin army to break the city, they will lose their lives.

But by surrendering now, at least they can save a life. Seeing the expressions of these clan members, Han Wangan felt even more tired. He took a deep breath, with tears streaming down his face, and said with choked sobs to the many clan members below:

“……The widow then wrote a letter to Lord Chang’an, willing to take off the crown at noon tomorrow, send the jade seal, open the city gate and surrender.”

After his words fell, many members of the clan heaved a sigh of relief and showed joy, which was in sharp contrast to the mournful cry of King Han.

“Your Majesty…Sage……”

The clan members opened their mouths and said these words with shame on their faces, which even made them feel embarrassed.

Han Wangan sobbed twice. He became increasingly impatient with his clan members and waved his hand irritably to signal them to go down.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave. Some people were quick-thinking and wondered whether the Qin army would confiscate their wealth, so they thought about trying to hide some treasures now. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Just when everyone was about to leave, Han Wangan suddenly said:”……Lao Jiu, you stay here first.”

Han Fei was puzzled. He winked at Hong Lian who was looking at him worriedly, indicating that he was fine and letting her rest assured.

When only Han Wang An Yu Han Fei was left in the palace, Han Wang An sat there without an image. He said in a voice hoarse from crying:

“……Lao Jiu, I have always known that you have a very good relationship with Lord Chang’an. I would like to ask you one last thing.”

Han Fei’s heart moved, thinking that his father wanted him to intercede and treat him kindly. Although

Han Fei knew that he could not change any of Ying Wei’s thoughts, as the son of King Han, he still handed over his hand and said:”……Please give me your father’s instructions.”

King Han breathed out, tried hard to calm down, and said:”……You have always had a good relationship with Hong Lian, a compatriot from your mother’s side.”

“Among the many heirs of the widow, she is the one who feels most relieved.”

“Since you are on good terms with Lord Chang’an, you want to say something nice for your sister’s sake. I hope he can treat Honglian well.”

“If he is willing, 710 even takes Honglian as his concubine.”

“I have always heard that Lord Chang’an is kind to others, even his own concubines. If Honglian can be someone by his side, I can rest assured.”

“In the future, I won’t be able to take care of her anymore, and I don’t know how many troubles she will cause based on her character. I won’t be able to pamper her at that time.”

Listening to King Han’s sincere words, Han Fei discovered that the so-called kings were just disguises, and they were still human beings after all.

The king was just a mask on their identity. When they took off that mask, they were just like ordinary people. People are no different.

It’s like the King of Han is at the end, and he cares about his favorite children like a father.

Such a King of Han makes Han Fei feel more close to him.

He saluted and said:”……The son will do his best to protect Honglian’s safety, but as for whether Honglian is willing to listen to his father, the son is not sure.”

“With Honglian’s temperament, if she doesn’t want to, there is nothing I can do.”

King Han hummed, and he waved his hand half-heartedly, indicating that Han Fei could leave:”……Just do your best and obey fate.”

In the past, as Honglian, she would have been able to become Lord Chang’an’s wife.

But now she is a princess who has lost her country, and at most she can only be a concubine.

As a woman, a A princess whose country is ruined and her family is ruined, Han Wangan knows that Honglian’s future is unlikely to be good, and even with her beauty and past identity, she will become the plaything of some Qin dignitaries. A princess whose country is ruined has no human rights.

So he hopes that Honglian Being able to grasp the life-saving straw of Chang’an Lord will at least prevent Honglian’s future from being toyed with by those powerful men.

……

In the Qin army camp, Ying Wei received a letter of surrender written by the King of Han himself.

He laughed and said to his many subordinates:”……At noon tomorrow, prepare to accept the surrender of South Korea!”

The generals of the Qin State were all shocked and looked overjoyed. They finally took the first step, changing the pattern of the Warring States Period for hundreds of years and shaping a new history!

And South Korea was just the first!.
