Chapter 24: Wei Zhe Shows His Loyalty

"I have lived up to your Majesty's great trust. Last night, I brought over several kinds of insects that are causing harm to the people today, and asked your Majesty to identify them!" After Wei Zhe finished speaking, before he could sit down, he had already respectfully pinned the insect on his waist.

He took out an emerald green bamboo tube and handed it to Ying Zheng respectfully. He was so anxious that he ignored the people in the palace. Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment. Ying Zheng was talking to Wei Che yesterday, and he also

The eye-catching person was very far away, but he didn't know that it was for such a thing. He just glanced at the bamboo tube, and Ying Zheng's eyes had already fallen on him coldly. Zhao Gao's heart was shuddered, and he quickly bowed and backed away.

After a few steps, he stayed far away and guarded the pillars of each palace gate, not daring to get closer.

Only then did Ying Zheng reach out and take the bamboo tube from Wei Che's hand. The entrance of the tube was blocked with a cloth to prevent the bug from flying out. However, after being stuffed for so long, the bug must have been weak. He stretched out his hand to plug the cloth.

As soon as he took it out, there was a "buzzing" sound inside, and the insects were not what he expected, but instead looked like they were full of life. When Wei Zhe saw Ying Zheng's face, he guessed what he was thinking, and quickly handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty."

I was afraid that the death of this insect would be in the way of the King's method, so I thought of a way to leave a glimmer of light to temporarily save the insect's life." Ying Zheng nodded, but he didn't expect that he could think of this level. He would

The bamboo tube stood upside down, and the insects flew out in a hurry. Ying Zheng practiced his true power, and although he couldn't defeat people like Huang Yuchun, he was still able to catch a few insects. He reached out his hand and caught the insects without any haste.

Pinch it with your fingertips and stuff the cloth at the entrance to prevent other bugs from flying out.

This insect is about the size of a mosquito, with about two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs. Judging from the current saying, it can be called an insect, but not an insect. This is an insect, a kind that can fly. Ying Zheng

After reading it, he said to Zhao Gao without looking back: "Go and get the small jade bottle lying on the side of the widow's bed, a copper basin, and a bowl of water!" Zhao Gao agreed, and after a while

, came back with something in his hand. Ying Zheng held the insect with one hand and opened the cap of the jade vial with the other hand, pouring out a drop of brown liquid with a strong medicinal smell. Wei Che held his breath and looked at Ying

Zheng poured a drop of the brown potion into the bowl filled with clear water. After a while, the water in the bowl became a little turbid. He took a stone chopstick and stirred it, and the bowl became increasingly dirty.

But he stretched out his hand and put a drop of the extremely turbid and unpleasant-smelling water onto the insect he was pinching from the stone chopstick that was still dripping with water.

Suddenly, the insect started struggling like crazy. Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and threw it on the table. The insect was still full of energy before being caught. But now it was as if it was headless after being hit by a drop of the potion.

They were crawling around like flies. In a short time, there were already six of them, and they fell straight down on the table, never moving again.

Wei Zhe's eyes suddenly widened when he saw it, and his lips opened and could no longer be closed. He was quite surprised when he saw the scene in front of him. He also saw that Ying Zheng followed suit and took out several other insects from the tube.

, one by one, as expected, those insects all struggled for a while and refused to move again. Wei Zhe was surprised. After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with some excitement: "Your Majesty,

What is this? It is really miraculous in dealing with these insects!" He was so happy that his voice changed the tone slightly, and there was a little vibrato when he spoke. He spent the whole night last night to take these pests with his family.

I have caught a lot of them and I have tried several times. Even if I cut off the heads of these insects, they can still move and some can even lay eggs again. Unexpectedly, Yingzheng's tactics today are so powerful that these insects only last a few breaths.

, is completely dead. If this medicine is so effective and mass production is carried out, insect pests will not be a problem this year! In this way, the food and grass of the Qin State will not be cut off, and even the people will naturally be able to live.

When he thought of this, Wei Che was so excited that he trembled all over. He pressed his forehead to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "On behalf of everyone in the world, I thank you for your kindness!" Ying Zheng shook his head coldly: "Although this medicine is good, but

It is not a free gift. The government of this matter is left to the Lord. Each person who receives this medicine must exchange ten dou of corn and other goods from the previous year's harvest."

"It should be!" Wei Zhe did not hesitate. He knew nothing about Ying Zheng's preparation of the medicine and did not know how many materials were used. However, he also knew that Ying Zheng's move was considered extremely merciful at the moment.

, after all, the two exchanges, the harvest after the common people receive this medicine is definitely more than ten dou each. In comparison, the common people always get the advantage, not to mention that Ying Zheng, as a king, is willing to do this, which is really rare.

I'm afraid that if this happens, the rumors will not only be self-defeating, but Ying Zheng's reputation will probably get even better. Wei Zhe stroked his long beard and smiled on his face. At this moment, he was very impressed by Ying Zheng's love for the people.

He was extremely satisfied, and he believed in his heart that he was a wise king, so he was naturally willing to be used by him, and he was willing to consider him wholeheartedly. Therefore, now that he knew that his reputation was expected to be wiped out, he was naturally very happy.

Ying Zheng saw Wei Che's thoughts and was inevitably satisfied. He handed the medicine to Wei Zhe for the time being: "Wei Qing can try the rest of the medicine on his own. It should be noted that one drop must be mixed with water to make it. It doesn't matter adults, children or livestock.

It is absolutely forbidden to get even a drop of it into your mouth, otherwise you will get sick in the mild case, or die in the worst case. I hope you will inform Wei Qing when he acts!" When Wei Qing heard this, he was immediately startled, and then he remembered that since this medicine is effective against insects

The disaster is effective. It can be seen that the poison is huge and people cannot eat it. He was only happy before, but he forgot about this. A cold sweat broke out on his back, and then he respectfully saluted Ying Zheng: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me.

I only wanted to be happy, but I almost made a big mistake!" He admitted his mistake sincerely, but he didn't have the slightest intention to shirk his excuses, which made Ying Zheng feel good about Wei Zhe again, nodded, and his expression became gentler.

Then he waved his hand and said: "Go, the remaining medicine will be delivered to your house later by Zheng Zihui. Zheng will draft an edict today and make the Duke an internal historian. I hope Wei Qing will not worry too much." This internal history is based on past lives.

From the looks of it, he can be regarded as one of the Nine Qings, but the Qin State did not strictly follow the etiquette system of the Three Gongs and the Nine Qings. Therefore, Wei Zhe's official position can be regarded as one of the Nine Qings, but it is not really one of the Nine Qings.

Wei Zhe originally devoted himself to serving the people and did not care about these false reputations. Therefore, he accepted what Ying Zheng said: "If it is just convenient to do things, I am already old. As long as you are doing things for the king, the internal history is

Serving the king, the prime minister also serves the king, there is no difference in the eyes of the ministers." He said this calmly, obviously from the heart, and combined with the subsequent description of him in history, it is obviously true. Ying Zheng felt deep in his heart

Wei Zhe couldn't help but respect him more, nodded, and rarely mentioned something: "It's true that the government has fallen into the vulgar trend. Wei Qing will be the mainstay of Qin from now on. There will be many more troubles for you in the future, so I hope you will take care of it."

"Body, please don't do this thing like this again!" Ying Zheng's words had a profound meaning, and he obviously meant to rely more heavily on Wei Zhe in the future.

"I'm ashamed to bother you, Your Majesty." Wei Che's face showed a touch of emotion. He had obviously understood Ying Zheng's words. He also greeted Ying Zheng with concern, held the medicine bottle in his hand, and couldn't wait for a moment.

Unable to stay, he rushed out of the palace again.

The person who fueled the rumors behind the scenes was traced to Jun Chengqiao of Chang'an, who was far away in South Korea. Just when Lu Buwei was preparing to eradicate this, the rumors about the king from top to bottom in Qin State were revealed due to the internal history of Wei Zhe.

The insect medicine was self-defeating! Wei Zhe was also very smart. After Ying Zheng handed over the medicine to him, he did not tell him how to do it, but let him decide on his own. Wei Zhe first got the medicine that Ying Zheng gave him for the first time.

His medicine was diluted and put into small bottles. He ordered people to catch a lot of insects in the most lively place of Xianyang City for testing. He performed it several times in front of everyone. The Qin State came up with a miracle medicine that can cure the insect disaster.

, the spread became more and more intense. In the first two days, some people came with the attitude of watching a joke. On the same day, after witnessing with their own eyes the miraculous effect of the medicine that Wei Che said could cure insect pests, many people came to watch on the second day.

There were even more people, and on the third day, people from as far away as the north came together.

The news that Wei Zhe had set up a case table in Xianyang City spread a lot for a while. By the tenth day, even the neighboring South Korea had heard a little bit about it. In the past ten days, Ying Zheng sent another case one after another.

More than ten bottles of medicine came into Wei Che's hands, and word of mouth spread the matter. Almost everyone in the Qin State knew about this matter. Wei Che saw that the time was right, so he decisively diluted all the insect medicine with water.

It was placed in front of the exhibition stand. A dense crowd had already gathered under the stage. Everyone had already received the news and knew that today was when Wei Zhe was going to distribute insecticides. People affected by the disaster almost thousands of miles away rushed over.

I just hope to get such a bottle of medicine to save the grain that I have worked hard for a year and is about to be harvested!

The crowd was bustling, but Xianyang City was at the feet of the king, so even if there were many people, no one dared to cause trouble. Wei Che commanded the soldiers borrowed from the Yingzheng Department to carry dozens of black barrels up, and secretly carried them up.

After setting up a dense booth, he raised his arms high, and the murmurs among the crowd suddenly became quiet.

"Everyone, please listen to me first!" As soon as Wei Che spoke, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him. Wei Che calmly took out a bronze cup filled with insecticide from the table beside him, and rushed it.

The crowd raised their hands and said, "I believe you all know that my purpose today is to distribute this elixir." As soon as he said these words, the crowd suddenly became excited, and their eyes were fixed on the bronze cup in his hand.

It was as if the place was full of his family's harvest for the coming year. His eyes were blazing, but no one rashly stepped forward to speak. Wei Che stroked his long beard with satisfaction and continued: "Recently, there are people in the Qin State who have been asking for help in private.

You have good intentions and blame my king for the insect plague. You are all citizens of the Qin Dynasty, but do you believe this nonsense?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone thought of Ying Zheng's previous order to build the Zheng Guo Canal. Seeing that it had been two years since the incident, many people near the Jing River to the west had already enjoyed such benefits. Naturally, they knew that Ying Zheng's move had brought

The benefits brought by everyone will be enjoyed endlessly by future generations. Naturally, there was some hesitation. However, there were some unscrupulous people in the crowd. They were silent for a while, but then loudly said: "If the King of Qin is not virtuous, why would God bother to come down?

How will we be punished for this insect disaster?" As soon as these words were spoken, many hesitant people suddenly felt that it made perfect sense.

People at this time believed most in the theory of ghosts and gods. This kind of pest disaster was a rare occurrence in decades. It would happen sooner or later, but they didn't expect that the new king would encounter it just a few years after he ascended the throne. It was really too coincidental.

Did God really think that the King of Qin was unkind and use this as a warning? Thinking like this, the crowd started to stir up again. Wei Che's eyes fell on a few people with shrunken faces in the crowd, their expressions were evasive, and they obviously had bad intentions.

Although Wei Zhe was devoted to the people, he could not tolerate such sneaky thieves. He snorted coldly and gave some instructions to the sergeant beside him. The sergeant then walked into the crowd with a spear, and everyone was suddenly shocked.

, the crowd started to stir.

Taking advantage of the people's panic, the soldiers lifted those people who were obviously provocative to the stage like chickens. Wei Zhe glanced at them and said coldly: "You have bad intentions.

You fool, your Majesty will never tolerate such a troublemaker, alienating the people of Qin and harming the Qin State! Such people are despicable, and they are actually more serious than the disaster caused by insects!" Wei Zhe finished speaking sonorously and powerfully, and then

He raised the bronze cup in his hand higher and said sternly: "You are all citizens of the Qin Dynasty, but you don't believe that the king is a blessed person blessed by heaven. It is really chilling! This medicine was given by the immortal in the king's dream.

, specializes in dealing with this insect scourge. If the king is not wise, you will definitely suffer from hunger in the coming year. Do you dare to say that the king is unkind? These people have the intention to provoke, but they did not expect that you are so ignorant and deceived.

, but to help Zhou do his harm, wouldn’t it have chilled the king’s heart of serving the people?”

Wei Che's words were very serious, and the dense crowd in the audience suddenly fell silent. Ying Zheng stood on the high platform of the Qin Palace from a distance and looked out. He saw Wei Che dancing and dancing, but everyone was as docile as quails. He didn't expect the old man to

Er actually has such a method, he is good at singing and singing, and he is kind and powerful at the same time, so he can coax people into submission. He had originally said that he would not worry about these rumors, but at this time, he found the right opportunity to clear his reputation.

, but he is also loyal. Although Wei Che is indifferent to fame and wealth, he also has weaknesses. He cares about the people of the world. If this is used as a thread, he will be tightly bound.

Ying Zheng didn't need to look at what happened next. He turned around and walked to Zhangtai Palace. The insect issue was successfully resolved. He didn't have to worry about the soldiers' food and supplies in the coming year. It was considered that he had settled a troublesome matter. Now he could also deal with it.
