In the next few days, Ying Zheng was almost by Hu Yu's side, in addition to continuing to soothe her emotions, Ying Zheng also wanted to stay by Ying Yu's side more and see his immature face.

After a few snowfalls, the weather has warmed up, and it looks like next year will be another good year.

On this day, after Changping Jun went down to the court, he followed Yingzheng to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Xiang Yan wrote a letter, saying that he had set off immediately, and at this time, he must have been on the way." Changping Jun arched his hand.

"Hmph, he's in a hurry." Ying Zheng said indignantly.

"Presumably, he was also ordered by the King of Chu, so he attaches so much importance to it." Changping Jun exonerated Xiang Yan.

Ying Zheng looked at Changpingjun and said solemnly, "Changpingjun, about the matter of protons, the widow wants to agree with you on a few things."

Changping Jun arched his hand again and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"First of all." Ying Zheng said, "The widow sent Gongzi Yu to the Chu State as a proton, and he was not coerced by the Chu State, so the widow hopes that the matter of the Western Chu Army before will be over, and in the future, the Chu faction forces dominated by you will also assist Daqin wholeheartedly."

Ying Zheng's words told Changping Jun very bluntly that in the future, don't make a fuss about the fight between the Western Chu army and Chang Yu, and the Chu forces of the Qin State should also be settled.

"It's nature." Changpingjun replied with some unnatural bows.

"Secondly, Gongzi Yu went to the Chu State, don't make a noise about this matter, the right has never happened." Ying Zheng continued, "Xiang Yan's side, the widow will also ask for this."

"This ......" Changping Jun was a little surprised, "If this matter is not made public, I am afraid that the king of Chu will treat the prince badly, and his safety will not be guaranteed."

"The widow understands." Ying Zheng said, "Regarding this point, it is the widow's request to Xiang Yan's private person, and you just need to keep your mouth shut."

Changping Jun couldn't understand King Qin's thoughts, but he still nodded.

"And the last and most important point." Ying Zheng continued, "In the future, when Gongzi Yu grows up, if Xiang Yan dies before you, can you take over Xiang Yan to take care of him?"

This question is actually difficult for Changping Jun to answer, because in that case, it is possible that he will leave the Qin State and return to the Chu State.

If it is, then Changping Jun is suspected of expecting to return to the Chu State to serve the King of Chu.

If not, then he just wants to shirk his responsibility and ignore the proton of the Qin State.

Changping Jun was silent, his face was very embarrassed.

"Don't bother." Ying Zheng said, "Even if you go back and become the king of Chu, as long as you can help him grow, it is necessary."

Ying Zheng's meaning is to let Changping Jun help Gongzi Yu at any cost, and whether this price is good or bad for Great Qin, King Qin can accept it.

Changping Jun thought for a few more breaths, and then said, "Okay, I promise the king, if Xiang Yan is not there in the future, I will replace Xiang Yan and help Gongziyu grow."

"Remember your oath." Ying Zheng said, "Let's go and prepare to meet Xiang Yan."

"Wechen retired." Changpingjun withdrew from the study.

Ying Zheng looked at the back of Changping Jun leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.

This game of chess seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

It was another snowy day, and Xiang Yan arrived in Xianyang.

What is different from the past is that this time Xiang Yan brought dozens of vehicles, which are said to be carrying silk and other goods.

"King Qin, last time the envoy of the State of Chu brought back the trade documents, and now the King of Chu has ordered the first batch to be escorted over, and the King of Qin is also invited to check it." Xiang Yan is full of energy and confidence.

"Hehe, it seems that the King of Chu is really anxious, I'm afraid he has other plans." Of course, Ying Zheng knew what King Chu was trying to do, so he deliberately teased.

Xiang Yan said disapprerovingly, "The country of Chu is vast and rich, and it is the main production area of silk, so my king took out the inventory in the treasury."

"Okay." Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to check what Xiang Yan brought

, and then brought Xiang Yan into his study.

"Sit down, let Changping-kun write to you

It's for the sake of our previous agreement." Ying Zheng said directly.

"Then why don't you discuss this matter in the main hall, but come to the study alone?" Xiang Yan asked with some confusion.

The exchange of protons between the two countries is a major event in the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and according to the etiquette system, most of them sign a special agreement in the court before proceeding to the next step.

Ying Zheng lowered his voice and said, "The widow's plan, I didn't let Changping Jun tell you, I just wanted to tell you in person, and no third person will know about it."

Even Changping Jun, who is the prime minister of Great Qin, can't know it, which shows that what Ying Zheng said is very secretive.

"King Qin, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Xiang Yan said bluntly.

Ying Zheng poured a cup of hot tea for Xiang Yan unhurriedly, and then said, "The widow plan does not disclose this matter, and as for this young son, the good news of his birth has not been announced in the court so far."

"Oh?" Xiang Yan asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

"Because the widow doesn't want him to go to the Chu country as a proton." Ying Zheng said, "And the state of Chu doesn't have to send protons to the state of Qin."

Xiang Yan's face sank, and he said, "What's the matter, King Qin has repented?"

"Definitely." Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "What the widow said is not to go as a proton, but it is not that he will not go."

"W-what does that mean?" Xiang Yan was confused.

"What does the widow mean......" Ying Zheng paused before saying, "After you bring Ying Yu back, don't disclose his identity, just inform the King of Chu, and then put him by your side to raise him."

"And don't let anyone know who he is, including himself."

"This is also one of the most basic conditions for you to take him."

Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, he never expected Ying Zheng to put forward such a condition, and he couldn't figure out why King Qin wanted to do this.

"W-why is that?" Xiang Yan asked suspiciously.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment before he said, "There are many reasons, and the most important thing is that the widow wants you to do a verification, if Great Qin does something unfavorable to the Chu State or even the world in the future, you will let this son personally attack and destroy Great Qin."

"Isn't it the best punishment for Great Qin to let Great Qin's son attack Great Qin?"

"And no matter which side loses, it's a loss for Great Qin."

"Isn't it?"

In order to make Xiang Yan believe, Ying Zheng must of course think of a reasonable reason, otherwise if Xiang Yan's suspicion is aroused, then all the plans will be in vain.

"King Qin, are you really determined to do this?" Xiang Yan still couldn't believe that King Qin would do such a thing that harmed his own interests.

"Hehe, what the widow said, just if." Ying Zheng smiled lightly, "Great Qin will not do unrighteous things, and of course he will not fall into a situation of cannibalism, and if we are still safe and sound when he is an adult, you will send him back to Great Qin."

There is a previous covenant with Ji Fa, and Ying Zheng must unify Huaxia before the age of forty, so it is impossible to wait until Ying Yu is an adult.

And Ying Zheng's words did dispel many of Xiang Yan's doubts.

"What King Qin said is easy, if this son's identity is revealed during this period, then how can he come to attack Qin." Xiang Yan continued.

"If that's the case, don't you have more reasons to unite all the countries to fight against Qin together, and as for whether you use this son to conquer in person, what does it matter?" Ying Zheng coped with it easily.

Xiang Yan's eyes rolled a few times, quickly thinking about the gains and losses of his own interests and those of the Chu State.

"I still don't understand what benefits King Qin has for Great Qin by doing this." Xiang Yan still questioned, "Presumably, with King Qin's shrewdness, he won't make a loss-making deal."

Ying Zheng exhaled lightly and said rather melancholy: "General Xiang should also know that the widow's brother Cheng Huan died because of some defeat

of."

"If it weren't for the conspiracy of the Three Jins, presumably he would not have been plotted for treason, the widow wanted to spare his life, but he insisted on dying."

"The widow is saddened

, how can this account not be calculated."

"Helplessly, Chang Yu rebelled, Lü Buwei stepped down, and the dynasty was unstable, otherwise, the widow would have already moved eastward."

"Hate that South Korea, Daqin doesn't want to provoke it, but it relies on its position advantage, using the trade throat as a threat, and a while ago, it also detained the widow's husband Li Si."

"General Xiang, you say, if it's you, how long can you endure this breath?"

Ying Zheng's few words aroused Xiang Yan's anger.

"Hmph, I heard that the people of Wei pretended to be Chu people to assassinate the king of Qin, and at that time, Chu had already sent troops to help Qin, but unexpectedly, there was a mess in the middle." Xiang Yan said, "As for South Korea, not only did it offer Great Qin a plan to repair canals and exhaust Qin, but also vainly blocked the trade between the countries and Great Qin, such a thing, if it were Chu State, it would not be able to bear it."

Ying Zheng saw that the method worked, so he continued: "If it weren't for the urgent need for repairs to the temple, the widow might have used troops to Korea a long time ago, but once the pattern of trade is formed, it will be inconvenient to do anything to it in the future, but if Korea is unreasonable again, if the widow can't bear it one day, I hope that Chu will not interfere."

Ying Zheng finally came up with a complete explanation, and Xiang Yan also fully understood King Qin's intentions.

This is equivalent to reaching certain terms of the alliance with the Chu State through the matter of protons, but it is not made public.

"Since this is the case, then this matter still needs to wait for the reply of the king of Chu, and I will immediately repair a letter to my king." Xiang Yan said.

"No need." Ying Zheng raised his hand and signaled, "The widow has already asked Nansu to write a letter to the King of Chu, and there should be a reply in the next few days, General Xiang has been repairing and repairing in Xianyang in the past few days, waiting for the reply from the King of Chu."

It turned out that the King of Qin had already informed the King of Chu.

"That's for the best." Xiang Yan said, "It's just that since you want to hide the identity of the little boy, then ......

"This is something that the widow has already thought about." Ying Zheng said, "This son, I will no longer be called Ying Yu in the future, since I am in your Xiang family, I will be called Xiang Yu."

"Xiang Yu?" Xiang Yan said hurriedly, "This, how can this be made."

"There's nothing you can't do." Ying Zheng interrupted Xiang Yan's words and said, "According to his age and seniority, he will be your grandson in the future."

"Grandson?" Xiang Yan's expression was a little embarrassed, "Isn't this nonsense, the eldest son Xiang Liang is only seventeen years old, and he hasn't married a wife yet, where did he get his child?"

"If you declare to the outside world that Xiang Liang is his uncle, it's over, Xiang Yu was born to your eldest son." Ying Zheng said.

Ying Zheng's meaning is to let Xiang Yan reveal that he has an illegitimate child, and Xiang Yu was born from this illegitimate child.

"This, won't this ruin your reputation?" Xiang Yan said indignantly.

"Then you say, what else can I do?" Ying Zheng threw the question to Xiang Yan.

"Uh......" Xiang Yan also lost his mind for a while.

"Let's just decide, in the future, this child will be called Xiang Yu, and you will take care of it, if we are safe and sound when he becomes a crown, you will send him back, and if Great Qin is in trouble in the world, you will let him lead the army to attack Qin until he defeats Great Qin."

Xiang Yan saw that Yingzheng was extremely sincere, so he no longer hesitated: "Okay, since King Qin said so, then Xiang Yan will be ordered, but let's discuss another code for this agreement."

Ying Zheng looked at Xiang Yan and said casually, "You can decide."

"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu." After thinking about it briefly, Xiang Yan said, "How is it?"

"Hehe, it's quite morale." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "However, which three households are these three?"

"Isn't that meant that?" Xiang Yan said.

"Good!" Ying Zheng said, "According to what you said, although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu will die."
