Chapter 76 Section 5 Yao Jia Returns

Yao Jiazhi's return to Xianyang was a recent grand event in the political arena of the Qin State. Hundreds of court officials, whether they were familiar with him or not, came to congratulate him one after another.Among them, only Han Fei didn't join in the fun. On the contrary, he was preparing to impeach Yao Jia. After all, Han Fei and Yao Jia were old friends.When Yao Jia first debuted, he went to South Korea to find a job. Han Fei admired Yao Jia's talent, so he made great efforts to make friends.Later, Yao Jia became an official in Zhao State and organized the four countries to unite and fight against Qin State.This period of common hatred and hatred can be described as the honeymoon period of friendship between the two.However, as Yao Jia defected to Qin State and confronted the Six Kingdoms, the two broke up.Han Fei couldn't forgive Yao Jia for his betrayal, let alone for Yao Jia's sabotage of the alliance and his country, South Korea, which was brought to a dead end.

Hezong is the only option to prevent Qin from annexing South Korea and the other five countries. As long as Yao Jia is overthrown, Qin's diplomacy will be set back ten years, and the alliance of the six countries will become possible again. So, Han Fei went to see Ying Zheng, and said, "I heard that the king appointed Yao Jia as the Minister of State, and I thought it was an exaggeration." Ying Zheng said, "Yao Jia was rewarded for his merits, what's wrong with that?" Han Feidao, "Yao Jia used pearls as treasures. He sent Jing and Wei to the south, and Yan and Qi to the north. After three years of questioning, the four countries may not be able to meet each other, but the pearls are all inside. It is Jia who uses the power of the king and the treasure of the country. Hand it over to the princes, may the king check it out."

Han Fei's current status is only a South Korean envoy. In today's terms, his impeachment of Yao Jia is actually interfering in Qin's internal affairs.Fortunately, Ying Zheng didn't shy away from these things, he just said, "Go on." Han Fei said again, "Shangqing is the noble of the country, and he should be the hope of the government and the public, and a model for all officials. However, Yao Jia is the son of Liang Jian, who tried to steal from Liang, and his minister was exiled by Zhao. Taking the son of Shi Jian, the great thief of Liang , Zhao Zhi chased his ministers, and he knew the strategy of the country, not because he encouraged the ministers."

As the saying goes, don't be stupid or deaf, don't be a family member.Obviously, Ying Zheng is not a family man.Since Han Fei came to impeach Yao Jia by name, he couldn't just pretend he didn't hear it. He had to figure out what was right and wrong and come to a conclusion.Yingzheng then summoned Yao Jia and asked, "I heard that the son handed over the widow's wealth to the princes. Are there any princes?" Yao Jiashang was immersed in the joy of being promoted, and when he was suddenly asked by Ying Zheng, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, knowing that someone must be playing tricks behind his back.However, as expected of Yao Jia, Yao Jia quickly calmed down after a period of panic imperceptible to the naked eye. He straightened his back and replied loudly, "Yes."

Seeing that Yao Jia readily agreed, Ying Zheng was also quite surprised, and said coldly, "How can you see me again?" Yao Jiadao said, "I used to be filial to my relatives, and the world would like to think of them as sons; if my sons and servants were loyal to the emperor, the world would like to think of them as ministers; virgins were skillful, and the world would like to think of them as concubines. Now Jia is loyal to the king, but the king doesn't know it. If Jia does not return to the four kingdoms, it will be admirable." ? If Jia is not loyal to the king, how can the kings of the four kingdoms still use Jia’s body? Jie listened to slander and punished his good generals, and Zhou heard of slander and killed his loyal ministers, until he died and the country perished. Now the king listens to slander, so there are no loyal ministers.”

After listening to Yao Jia's justification, Ying Zheng's expression softened greatly.Han Fei's impeachment of Yao Jia boiled down to two points: First, Yao Jia used the public service to benefit himself at the expense of Qin.Second, Yao Jia came from a humble background and had a criminal record.What Ying Zheng was wary of was only the first point.Even so, Yingzheng still didn't let go of the second point, saying, "Zijianmenzi, the thief of Liang, and Zhao Zhichai." The tone was not harsh, and there was even some teasing elements in it. Ying Zheng asked casually, but Yao Jia didn't dare to answer casually.His background and previous convictions are problems left over from his history. If he cannot be completely resolved, he will always carry this heavy burden and be beaten and ridiculed from time to time.

Yao Jia pondered for a moment, and said: "The Taigong hopes that Qi will chase away his husband, Chaoge will abolish the butcher, Ziliang will chase his ministers, and King Wen will use it to become king. Guan Zhong, his humble Jiaren, Nanyang's evils are secluded, Lu's exempting prisoners, Duke Huan used it, and Baili Xi, a beggar from Yu, passed on the skins of five sheep for sale, and Duke Mu sent them to Xirong. Duke Wen used Zhongshan to steal, which was better than Chengpu. These four scholars are all criticized and ugly. , Great slander in the world, the Ming Lord uses it, knowing that it can make meritorious service. If Bian Sui, Wu Guang, and Shen Tudi are used, the Master will not use it? Therefore, the Ming Lord will not take its taint, do not listen to its fault, and observe It is for your own use. Therefore, those who can save the country will not listen to those who have external slanders; although they have a high reputation, they will not be rewarded if they have no merits close by. Therefore, no group of officials dare to make empty wishes for the top."

Yao Jia finished speaking in a hurry, his chest rose and fell, and he looked quietly at Yingzheng.His Royal Highness Ying Zheng helped Yao Jia up, and said with a big laugh, "Your words are very true. I'm just a special tester." Yao Jia breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped.
