In the depths of his heart, Ying Si didn't want to be the king of one day, he heard Zhang Yi's persuasion words from the depths of his heart, almost after listening to Zhang Yi's words, Ying Si had already decided to change the name of the year and call the king of the world.

But in a hurry, it is not a trivial matter to call the king, so Ying Si asked Zhang Yi again: "The widow has made up his mind, follow the advice of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, and call the king to change his name." But I don't know when the time is right, please tell me your opinion. ”

Zhang Yi thought for a while, and he replied: "Weichen thinks that if I go to Chu to lobby smoothly this time, it should be possible for the Qin army led by General Sima Cuo to return smoothly, and then the king will welcome the soldiers who have returned from the front line, and by the way, a ceremony will be held to claim the throne."

The monarch is not worried but happy, which shows the strong will of the Qin State to dominate the world, and it also happens to inspire the army. Therefore, when the Qin army returned to Xianyang from Michi, it should be the most appropriate time for the king to become king. ”

Ying Si listened to Zhang Yi's suggestion and felt that it was very reasonable, he nodded again and again, and said: "What the prime minister said is right, the widow announced that he was the king at that time. ”

Ying Si was very excited, as if he saw the majestic scene when he wore a crown of twelve crowns and met his ministers. Because he had a good conversation with Zhang Yi, before he knew it, he had sat down next to Zhang Yi.

He took Zhang Yi's hand and said: "The widow must reward Prime Minister Zhang Cheng heavily, firstly, so that you can lobby the Chu State smoothly, and secondly, to thank Prime Minister Zhang Cheng for giving the widow two good plans related to the future of the Qin State within one day. The first is to set the national policy of the art of connecting horizons, and the second is to set the great plan to be the king of the world. The widow is taught, as if he heard the sound of heaven. ”

Zhang Yi didn't act as excited as Yingsi, and he was not fully sure of the upcoming trip to Chu in his heart.

Especially when dealing with his enemies, the prince of Chu State, Mi Huai and Ling Yin Zhaoyang and others, although he knew that he should suppress the hatred deep in his heart at the moment and pretend to treat them with twelve points of enthusiasm, he was not sure if he could control it at that time, after all, the hatred of whipping and humiliation was too profound, how could he easily forget it.

Ying Si listened to Zhang Yi's discussion of the world with great interest, and unconsciously realized that it was late at night. Ying Si suddenly remembered that early tomorrow morning, Zhang Yi would leave for Chu to lobby. He said to Zhang Yi: "It's not early, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has important things to do tomorrow, you can stay in the court room in the front hall of Xianyang Palace tonight." The widow still has to arrange your things for tomorrow's road, and tonight seems to be another sleepless night. ”

Zhang Yi heard that the monarch was going to stay up all night to see him off, he was very moved, and said: "It's better for Weichen to take care of it with the monarch, and I will also stay awake all night." ”

Ying Si waved his hand, and said: "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is working state affairs and is facing a very heavy task, how can the widow bear to let you stay awake tonight." Don't worry, I'll arrange it. ”

Zhang Yi saw that the monarch's will was very firm, so he didn't insist anymore. But from the depths of his heart, he is still deeply impressed by Yingsi's diligence in state affairs. Moreover, regardless of his identity, he personally worked for his courtiers, which is also difficult for ordinary kings to do.

However, Zhang Yi also immediately thought: "But anyone who has a promise can endure a moment of condescension, and sometimes it is even unbearable for ordinary people." It's like listening to the story of Wu Qi, a great reformer and military strategist, told by Master Guigu. ”

Legend has it that Wu Qi is a good general who can take the lead in the soldiers, and he shares weal and woe with the soldiers, so the soldiers are willing to die for him. After a junior sergeant went home, he told his mother that Wu Qi treated him very well, and that he had abscess on his legs, and Wu Qi personally sucked the pus for him, and he was grateful to Wu Qi. ”

The sergeant's mother was crying on the spot, and the sergeant was puzzled and asked his mother why. Mother said, 'Your father was treated in the same way many years ago, and as a result, he fought for Wu without stopping, and soon died on the battlefield. I fear that you will follow in your father's footsteps. ’”

Zhang Yi thought of this, and felt that Ying Si was really a little similar to Wu Qi in this regard, they were both extremely diligent people, who could condescend to the big goal, and even could do things that people of the same status couldn't do.

Zhang Yi smiled secretly in his heart, but everyone's goals are different, and he has his own measure. Zhang Yi then got up and followed the eunuchs in the palace to rest steadily, and let go of the necessary things needed by the envoy to the Chu State, and let it go to the monarch Yingsi himself.

After Zhang Yi woke up the next morning, as soon as he got out of bed, a eunuch outside the door heard the movement and asked him for peace. Zhang Yi answered, and then left the bedroom.

As soon as he went out, he found that outside the bedroom where he was staying, there were two rows of eunuchs standing neatly waiting to serve him, and Zhang Yi asked strangely: "Officials, what are you standing here doing so early?" ”

One of the eunuchs at the head replied: "We are all on the orders of the king, and we are waiting here to see if the prime minister needs anything." ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, she thought: "I am a big living person, with hands and feet, why do I want so many people to serve?" He waved his hand and shook his head at the crowd and said, "You can leave one or two of you, and the others will go about their own business." ”

He is not used to being pampered by a group of people, like a pampered concubine. So Zhang Yi did it herself, washed up, and then went to the front gate of Xianyang Palace to see the convoy and personnel prepared for her mission.

When Zhang Yi arrived there, he found that more than 20 carriages had been prepared in the small square at the front gate, and there were enough 200 sergeants carrying various items to the carriages. There are also three graceful girls, who are standing stupidly on the side.

Qin Jun Yingsi was also at the front door of Xianyang Palace at this time, personally supervising the clothing and preparation for Zhang Yi's envoy. He saw that Zhang Yi had already gotten up and came forward, so he hurriedly asked the eunuch to greet Zhang Yi to the chariot where he was.

Zhang Yi saw that Ying Si's eyes were dark, so he said: "Weichen see the king!" The gentleman worked hard, could it be that the gentleman didn't close his eyes all night? ”

Ying Si smiled and replied: "The widow also took a nap for a while, but he was a little worried about how he prepared for the prime minister's envoy, so I came here again to inspect it, and by the way, I will see you off." ”

Zhang Yi bowed to the ground and read: "The king treats Weichen so favorably, for the sake of Weichen, I will be the liver and brain to repay the kindness of the king." ”

Ying Si stretched out his hand to help Zhang Yi up, and replied: "The prime minister is going to Chu State, and the task is very tricky. The widow is also afraid that the state of Chu will be lobbied and lost, and the crisis of the Qin army in Michi will be difficult to solve, so for the sake of sharing the worries of the prime minister, he personally urged the people to prepare and prepare the money, treasures, and beauties that should be brought, so that the prime minister's trip will be more sure of success! ”

Zhang Yi said: "With the personal work of the king, Wechen is more confident to bring back the news of success. ”

Ying Si pointed to the woman in the southwest corner of the small square, and introduced to Zhang Yi: "Prime Minister, please see, the girl in the middle of the three women standing there is the woman who was instructed by the widow to manage the genealogy of the clan overnight, and the woman selected for this envoy can marry the prince of Chu, Mi Huai, if necessary, to marry the in-laws of Qin and Chu." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, thinking: "It seems that this monarch Yingsi is really very attentive, and wants to ensure that he succeeds in lobbying the Chu State this time, and even the **** of Mihuai that he accidentally mentioned, he took it to heart, and arranged to marry a distant relative girl surnamed Ying to Mihuai." ”

However, with the abundant treasures such as gold silk and jade, coupled with the arrangement of the crown prince Mi Huai, who was about to ascend the throne of the Chu State, it should be regarded as a sufficient article.

Zhang Yi knew that Lu Dao Yingsi was really worried about the safety of the Qin army in Michi, so he did not hesitate to let go of the monarch's posture and personally manage his own mission. Without further ado, he saw that he was almost ready, so he took his bid to the king. Then he led the Qin State Mission, which numbered more than 200 people, to the Chu State.

Ying Si sent Zhang Yi to the outer gate of Xianyang Palace, and under Zhang Yi's persuasion, he stopped saying goodbye.

Zhang Yi took the Qin delegation out of the east gate of Xianyang City, and he ordered the convoy of the mission to rest outside the east gate for a while. Someone whispered: "This has just left Xianyang City, and I want to rest, doesn't it mean that I am in a hurry?" ”

Zhang Yi also got out of the carriage, and he stood on the side of the road outside the east gate, first looked around, and then looked anxiously at the city gate. He was waiting for his newlywed wife Yingxi to see him off, and when he left the house yesterday, he asked the housekeeper Zhang Tong to tell Yingxi that if Yingxi wanted to see him, he could go to the east gate of Xianyang City to see him at the time of Chen.

However, at this moment, the hour has passed, and he still hasn't seen any trace of Yingxi, and he can't help but feel very disappointed, thinking: "It seems that I still have too high expectations for Yingxi, after all, they are only combined temporarily." And the husband and wife have their own plans. ”

Zhang Yi sighed and instructed Zheng Cheng, the captain in charge of the security of the mission, to order him to immediately command the convoy of the mission on the road. He himself also boarded the tall carriage pulled by four horses he was riding again, before entering the carriage, he glanced at the east gate of Xianyang City, still did not see Yingxi's figure, Zhang Yi turned his heart sideways, got into the car, put down the curtain, the carriage immediately started, the horse's hooves ticked, galloping towards the east, running all the way.

Not long after Zhang Yi's carriage started, three people came out of the east gate of Xianyang City, it was Zhang Yi's newlywed wife Yingxi, her father Yinghuan and Zhang's housekeeper Zhang Tong. Zhang Tong looked at the convoy of missions in the distance, stomped his feet, and said, "Hurry up, I'm still a step late!" ”
