King Qin looked at the surprisingly quiet ministers and smiled. No matter who you choose as Proton in the end, you will be the one who will profit in the end. If the eldest son is a hostage, he must be given the title of prince. If Childe City is hostage, he can cut off his henchmen while he is a proton.

Of course, King Qin wanted to send his eldest son Zhu as a proton in his heart, so that his eldest son would make a great contribution to the Qin state. This battle for the crown prince can be regarded as coming to an end. As for the qualitative danger, presumably the Chu State was afraid of the strength of the Qin State, and would not embarrass the eldest son.

Seeing that all the ministers lowered their heads and said nothing, King Qin had to start a little bit of fame.

"Prime Minister, you are the head of a hundred officials. This time to send protons to Chu State, who does the prime minister think is appropriate? King Qin was the first to point the finger at his "uncle".

"The minister is stupid, and he only knows how to obey the orders of the king and the queen mother. There is a precedent for me to send protons. The minister thought that he should inquire about Lang Zhongling. Wei Ran was not fooled, played the most familiar Tai Chi, and kicked the ball to the official in charge of the matter.

"Oh?" King Qin couldn't help but smile, turned his eyes to look at Lang Zhongling, and asked, "Wang Qing, this matter is in your charge, you come to tell the widow, who should be sent hostage?" ”

Lang Zhong ordered Wang Shuo to be shot while lying down, but he could only curse Wei Ran in his heart, while "innocently" holding the Chao Wat, and went out to play: "Back to the king, according to the precedent, when the two countries send protons to each other, the two countries should agree on the identity of the protons, but the clan, the prince, and the prince." ”

Lang Zhongling kicked the ball back again, saying that the requirements for the identity of the proton were agreed upon by Qin and Chu, and he couldn't make the decision. You can discuss such a big matter with the King of Chu!

King Qin was not angry, but asked with a smile: "Marquis Wan, has the King of Chu ever said that he will send someone hostage to our country?" ”

"It was not stated, but the minister thought that it was most likely Xiong Wan, the prince of Chu." Gongzi City hesitated, and then said: "Or one of Yang Wenjun's sons, Xiong Huan and Xiong Guan." ”

Today, the king of Chu has only one son, and that is the crown prince Xiong Wan. Yang Wenjun is just the half-brother of the King of Chu, King Qin thought for a while, and continued to ask with a smile: "Wang Qing, if the State of Chu uses Xiong Huan or Xiong Guan as a proton, who should I send to Chu as a hostage?" If the State of Chu takes the crown prince Xiongwan as a proton, what should I do with Daqin? ”

Lang Zhongling, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard this, and his heart suddenly tightened again. If he could complain at this time, he would definitely say, "Big brother, don't play people like this!" That's too much of a bully! So many people caught me and bullied me! ”

But this is the Warring States Period, this is Xianyang Palace, Lang Zhongling can only get up again and reply: "If Chu takes Xiong Huan and Xiong Guan as hostages, the king can send a dignitary of the clan to be hostage." If Chu takes the crown prince Xiong Wan as a hostage, Yili Daqin should also be held hostage by the crown prince. But who to send as hostages, the king can decide with one word. ”

"I see!" King Qin pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said with a straight face: "The widow regards Chu as a brotherly state, as long as Chu is willing to send the crown prince Xiong Wan as a hostage, my Great Qin will be a hostage to the Chu State with the crown prince." The widow believes that the state of Chu will attach importance to the friendship between Qin and Chu, and most of them will take Xiong Wan as a hostage as Wanhou said. Zhong Aiqing might as well take this situation as an assumption and say who should be sent hostage to the Chu State? ”

King Qin went around in a big circle, and still threw out the most important topic - I just want to send the crown prince hostage to the Chu State, who do you say to send! Whoever you say is to support him as the crown prince!

King Qin's words didn't even have half a point of room for maneuver, it was a showdown. The ministers had only two choices, either to choose Gongzi City or to choose the eldest son. Ministers, look at me, I'll look at you, bite your mouth and don't open your mouth first.

The officials of the first family of Childe City are the most difficult, and choose Childe City as a proton, on the surface, they helped him, but in fact they hurt him. No one doubts that according to King Qin's skills and character, if Gongzi City goes to Chu on the front foot, King Qin will hit the power of Gongzi City on the back foot. Choose King Qin's eldest son Zhu as the proton, King Qin will definitely be happy, but Gongzi City may be unhappy. Crisis, crisis, danger is buried in the opportunity! Although it is somewhat dangerous to be a proton, once the eldest son pillar is questioned in Chu, the king of Qin will definitely give him the identity of the crown prince.

The officials of King Qin's family also couldn't grasp King Qin's thoughts. Choosing Gongzi City or the eldest son pillar as a hostage is beneficial to King Qin, and the will of heaven is unpredictable, and the ministers are not sure which King Qin prefers in his heart.

Just when the King of Qin was about to start the roll call and force the ministers to express their position, Gongzishi stood up with a Chao Wat in his hand and said: "The ministers have a book, please play." ”

"Say!" King Qin waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, the establishment of the prince is a major matter of the country, and the reason why the position of the prince of Daqin has not been decided for a long time is precisely because I am worried that the prince will be overwhelmed and shake the country. The minister thought that the queen mother should be consulted on this matter, as long as the king and the queen mother decided, there was no one in Daqin who was not convinced. ”

"What Marquis Wan said is very true, and the minister seconded it." Prime Minister Wei Ran immediately responded.

Now the issue of establishing the crown prince can be delayed, whether it is the first line of King Qin or the first line of Gongzi City, they are actually not ready for a complete showdown. Even if King Qin seemed to be forcing his ministers to express his position just now, not a single minister would say that he must send anyone. Gongzi City stood up smartly and pushed back King Qin's words. Who doesn't know that the right to speak in the Qin State is now in the hands of the old man of the Queen Mother. Whoever she supports, she wins.

Maybe King Qin and Gongzi City have both had enough of the Queen Mother's unclear attitude. This time, it is up to the Queen Mother to decide who to send as a hostage. For Childe City, the one thing he wants to know most now is whether his mother has given up on him.

If she is willing to speak for herself and officially make herself the crown prince, then this throne will be at ease and so on. Compare with your royal brother who will live longer, and let your son succeed to the throne.

If her attitude is still unclear, and even supports King Qin, then she simply gives this opportunity to her nephew as a hostage, which is just the status of a prince. I had a good competition with my brother in Xianyang, which was nothing more than a king and a loser.

"The ministers seconded the proposal." The rest of the ministers took a position at the same time.

King Qin, who thought he was sure of victory, didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Since all Aiqing said so, the widow will ask the queen mother so that he can establish the position of the crown prince in Chu as soon as possible." ”

Xianyang, Changle Palace.

The Queen Mother looked lovingly at Gongzishi who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You are not too young, so don't kneel." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Gongzishi got up, walked to the Queen Mother's side, and pinched the Queen Mother's shoulder.

"Let's all go down!" The Queen Mother waved her hand and dismissed the slaves and maids she served, closed her eyes and asked with a smile: "Say, what is the matter with coming to my wife this time?" ”

"Mother, look at what you said. Can't the child come to see you if he's fine? The child is very worried about the queen mother, this is not the front foot just came back from the Chu State, and the back foot came to you! Childe complained while pinching the Queen Mother's shoulder.

"You've had a lot of ideas since you were a kid! How about it, this time make Chu Shun lì? The Queen Mother asked with concern.

"It's fine! It's just that the long journey is a bit hard. The state of Chu has already agreed to form an alliance, but the people are worried that our Qin state will not keep its promises, and the king of Chu hopes that we will do our best to send protons to each other. "Childe City finally showed his intentions.

"You're not too small, and it's hard for you to travel thousands of miles back and forth." The Queen Mother sighed, but still talked about the topic she herself didn't want to talk about, "Send protons!" You just talk about it. ”

"The Queen Mother! The king wanted to send the crown prince as a hostage. Childe's tone was a little aggrieved.

"What? Why did you send the prince? "The Queen Mother is dissatisfied, Daqin doesn't have an official crown prince at the moment, isn't this trying to force himself to establish a prince?

"The king said that in order to show respect for the Chu State, he plans to send the crown prince to each other as hostages with the Chu State." Childe carefully observed the Queen Mother's expression.

"Oh! It's a nuisance. The Queen Mother subconsciously scratched her head, alas! What should come will come!

"Then I wonder who the Queen Mother thinks should be sent hostage?" Childe gritted his teeth and said the most crucial sentence nervously.
