Secondly, it was Zhao Feng who originally pointed out the poison in the Spirit Pill, so Zhao Feng had no reason to use the Poison Pill to harm himself.
"Haha." Zhao Feng chuckled lightly, without offering any explanation.
"You gave it to the Great King, but not to your father-in-law?" Wang Jian said with a hint of reproach.
"Father-in-law."
"In a couple of days, I will prepare some for you."
"These are genuine Spirit Pills, not false Poison Pills, which are very rare." Zhao Feng quickly replied.
"If your father-in-law is requesting it, then I too shall boldly ask for one." Xia Wuqie said with a smile.
"There is, for everyone." Zhao Feng nodded repeatedly.
...
In the days that followed.
Zhao Feng also enjoyed a rare tranquility.
No need to attend court, nor to oversee the army.
Every day just accompanying Wang Yan and Wu Yang.
Of course.
During this time, many ministers learned that Ying Zheng personally visited Zhao Mansion and bestowed names upon Zhao Feng’s two children, prompting several ministers to send gifts.
For these.
Zhao Feng accepted them all.
Everything was calm and peaceful.
In the court!
"Minister Han Fei."
"Returning to the capital as summoned."
"Presenting household register records from the Zhao Territory, tax records, and population records."
"Please review, Great King."
Han Fei stood in the grand hall, holding a box containing foundational records collected from Wei Territory.
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Zhao Gao promptly descended the hall, respectfully receiving the box and presenting it to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng opened the box.
Casually picking up the top record, from his serious expression, it was evident he was reviewing it meticulously.
After examining the first document.
Ying Zheng continued to browse through them.
The entire court was silent.
At this moment.
Many ministers understood that if Han Fei succeeded in managing Zhao state’s governance, he would have the opportunity to enter the ranks of the Nine Ministers.
After a long while.
Ying Zheng closed the records.
"Minister Han’s governance abilities resonate across the realm. It was unclear during his time in Xianyang how capable Minister Han truly was."
"Now, despite Zhao Territory not lagging behind Qin in terms of population, it overcame the chaos of war and calamity, becoming orderly under Minister Han’s governance in just over a year."
"This achievement must be attributed to Minister Han."
Ying Zheng praised Han Fei.
Clearly.
These reports greatly pleased Ying Zheng.
It was evident they gained approval.
"Thank the Great King for the praise."
"Being an official of Qin, it is only right for me to serve Qin." Han Fei responded humbly.
"I heard."
"After managing Zhao Territory, you went to Daliang City and handled tens of thousands of refugees?"
"And even constructed a new city?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
Without wasting any time, Han Fei took out a scroll from his robe.
"Presenting to the Great King."
"This is the household register of the new city, including population details." Han Fei raised the scroll loudly.
