Xiong Qi walked into the rain curtain and let the rain rain drench his clothes.

But his steps were still firm and steady, walking in the direction he was going.

Ying Chengcheng stood at the door of the imperial study, standing on the dry bank.

Xiong Qi, who looked far away, was speechless for a long time.

After a while, Wang Bo walked to Ying Cheng's side and said softly: "Chang'anjun, the king has summoned." ”

Ying Cheng bowed slightly: "Thank you." ”

When he looked up again, Xiong Qi had already disappeared from the sight of Ying Chengcheng.

The faint sigh was completely covered by the sound of the rain hitting the tiles, and Ying Chengcheng stepped back to the imperial study, and saw a black shadow rushing towards him.

Raising his right hand to turn his palm into a cushion, Ying Cheng took the wine jar in the palm of his hand, and looked at Ying Zheng: "So suddenly? ”

Ying Zheng himself also slapped open the mud of a wine jar, and said with a warm smile: "Brother Nai wants to test whether your soul has been taken away by Xiangbang." ”

Ying Chengcheng also slapped the sealing mud of the wine jar, raised the wine jar with both hands and poured the wine into his throat.

After taking a few sips, Ying Chengcheng pulled out a smile: "Xiangbang is not a peerless beauty, how can he hook up the soul of his younger brother?" ”

"Brother Nai just couldn't bear to see his grandmother cry, so he finally gave him a chance."

As early as after the Chang Yu Rebellion, Ying Zheng and the Empress Dowager Huayang reached an agreement through Ying Chengcheng's negotiations.

The struggle between Ying Zheng and the Chu relatives must not harm the interests of Great Qin, and it must not exceed a certain intensity, no matter what the final victory or defeat is, neither side will put the other to death!

Empress Dowager Huayang and Ying Chengcheng will join forces to create a pure land by virtue of their status in the two forces.

No matter which side declares defeat, they all stay in Chang'an Township and accompany the Empress Dowager Huayang to fish for the rest of their lives.

After all, Chu's relatives and Ying Zheng are all relatives, and the Empress Dowager Huayang is an emotional person, and both sides are unwilling to fight to the death like when they started a war with Chang Yu.

Ying Cheng's inquiry was to give Xiong Qi one last chance to abide by the rules.

Ying Chengcheng has also prepared excellent fishing spots on the banks of the Weishui River.

It's a pity that the promised fishing friends will never come again.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Cheng's gaze with some surprise: "See? ”

Ying Cheng sat beside Ying Zheng and said speechlessly: "Brother is not stupid!" ”

"This time, my brother led the army to the battle, inflicted heavy losses on the state of Chu, and captured the king of Chu."

"However, the throne of the king of Chu is still vacant to this day, and only the Shangzhu Kingdom of Chu is acting on behalf of the king."

"Xiangbang did not hesitate to call for his ministers to build momentum for him, and took the initiative to ask to go to the newly annexed land in the eastern part of the country, which is not in the interests of Chu's relatives or Xiangbang's own interests."

"In addition to having the intention to take this opportunity to leave Guanzhong and Benchu to ascend the throne, what else can Xiangbang ask for?"

"Thinking about it, Chu Shangzhu has already communicated with Xiangbang, and has promised to help Xiangbang ascend the throne as king!"

The most important thing is that in Xiong Qi's original history, he abandoned the position of the prime minister of the Qin State when the Chu State was almost destroyed, and ran to the Chu State at all costs to take over the throne of the King of Chu.

Therefore, Ying Chengcheng has long known that Xiong Qi has the intention to seize the throne of the king of Chu.

With preparation in mind, some details that can't be found on weekdays will naturally be deliberately paid attention to by Ying Chengcheng.

Ying Zheng smiled happily: "It's not stupid. ”

Filled the two wines with wine, Yingzheng was slightly apprehensive in his eyes: "Is there any wonder that brother has not stopped Xiangbang?" ”

Ying Chengcheng shook his head: "Looking for the dead, I can't hold it." ”

"The struggle for royal power is life and death, and when he makes such a decision, he is already ready to think about it."

"Don't say that the eldest brother just obeyed his wishes, that is, the eldest brother will make the younger brother fight each other in the future, and the younger brother will not hesitate!"

"It's a big deal, my brother will enter the palace to accompany my grandmother."

Regret to regret, regret to regret.

But Xiong Qi must die!

Ying Chengcheng said, the Empress Dowager Huayang can't stop it!

Ying Zheng handed a wine jue to Ying Chengcheng, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile: "Drink to win!" ”

Ying Chengcheng took the wine jue, drank all the wine in the jue, and sighed lightly: "Power! ”

"What's so good about being a king?"

"We must think about internal affairs, internal enemies, foreign affairs, and external enemies, and all major and small things have to be thought over, and if we are not careful, we may lose everything."

"Get up earlier than chickens every day, sleep later than dogs, and you have to seize all the time to work without being whipped and urged by others, not to mention doing what you like, that is, night entertainment is not free, compared to cows, horses, birds and beasts are far inferior!"

"Putting everything on the line just to live like this?"

"How ridiculous!"

The kings of the Warring States Period were not like those emperors in later generations, even if they made alchemy and sawed wood every day, they did not have to worry about losing the country.

In the Warring States Period, in this world of great contention, any country, no matter how powerful it is now, as long as there are two generations of faint kings in a row, and maybe even one king who works hard but is not smart enough, the country will be gone!

In the Warring States Period, there is no need for future generations to bear the price, and the faint monarch himself will bear the humiliation of losing the country or the ultimate punishment of being set aside by powerful ministers!

Don't want to lose your country? Then you have to work hard!

So Ying Chengcheng really can't understand what those who rush to be kings in this era think.

Ying Zheng: ......

Can you think about it before you say this, there is a king sitting in front of you?

The widow seriously suspects that you are piercing the widow's heart.

And there is evidence for the widow!

After drinking all the bitter wine in Juezhong, Ying Zheng tried to make his image in Ying Chengcheng's heart no longer so stupid: "Being a king is not for enjoyment." ”

"Either to rejuvenate the temple and sacrifice, or because he boasts that he can save his family and country, or because he has great ambitions, he can only be a king, or he is greedy for the authority to live and die."

"What Xiangbang wants, that's all."

Ying Cheng smashed his mouth: "My brother can't match any of them." ”

"Sure enough, my brother is still suitable for fishing."

Ying Zheng: ......

With such an ambitious younger brother, the widow's heart is so tired!

Fortunately, Ying Chengcheng did not choose to continue to pierce his heart, but asked: "Although the eldest brother is wary of Xiangbang. ”

"However, Xiangbang is Xiangbang after all, and he holds authority."

"Now that Xiangbang is away from Qin and Chu, it will inevitably cause a heavy blow to my Great Qin."

"Big brother just sit back and watch him leave?"

"When did the eldest brother become so kind!"

Ying Zheng shook his head: "It's not that it's a brother's kindness, it's just a transaction." ”

"Brother Nai has ordered the general Yang Duanhe to take over the command of the Linchu territory, and ordered the counties and counties of Linchu to be strictly guarded."

"This time Xiangbang can't take away my Great Qin's sharp soldiers, armor and baggage, and it can't inflict heavy damage on my Great Qin."

"He can only bring the information he knows and the courtiers and generals who belong to him to the state of Chu."

"And this is exactly what Brother Nai wants."

Chu's relatives have always been a stumbling block for Yingzheng to take charge of the court.

But the relatives of the Chu family have been working in Great Qin for more than 100 years.

Its forces are intertwined, they have long been integrated with Daqin, and with the care of the Empress Dowager Huayang, Ying Zheng has no way to settle the situation in a war like against Chang Yu!

Now Xiong Qi is running to Chu, but it has given Yingzheng a chance to rectify the court.

Ying Cheng asked in surprise: "You have already discussed?" ”

"When?"

Thinking about the Empress Dowager Huayang's hurried search and Mrs. Han's calm, it is obvious that the Empress Dowager Huayang and Mrs. Han also expected this.

Co-authored this court battle, and there is only one person who is drummed?!

Ying Zheng also looked at Ying Cheng in surprise: "Do you need to discuss this matter?" ”

Ying Cheng stammered, "No, don't you need it?" ”

Ying Zheng said as a matter of course: "Naturally, there is no need." ”

"Brother Nai knows that Xiangbang wants to go to Chu, and Xiangbang also knows that Brother Nai knows that Xiangbang intends to go to Chu, so that's enough!"

"All that remains is the best decision that both sides can make after weighing the forces of both sides."

"If Xiangbang doesn't want to have a tacit understanding, my brother will help him tacitly understand!"

Ying Chengcheng was silent.

If you say that, it will look like I'm stupid!

It's heart-piercing, big brother!

Ying Zheng smiled secretly and continued to speak: "In this matter, Brother Nai needs Brother Wang's help. ”

Ying Chengcheng quickly reined in his mood and asked in a solemn voice: "What do you need my brother to do?" ”

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Brother Nai doesn't care whether Ben Chu is the choice of Xiangbang or the decision of Chu's relatives. ”

"It doesn't matter."

"After Xiangbang goes to Chu, Brother Nai will not allow the relatives of the Chu family to be able to make their own voices in my Great Qin Dynasty again!"

"Brother Nai needs Brother Wang's arm to help Brother Nai eradicate the Chu relatives who have not gone to Chu with Xiangbang, and seize the position that belongs to them!"

Ying Chengcheng frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Ying Zheng hesitantly: "Why does my brother think that the eldest brother is giving benefits to my brother?" ”

"If the younger brother really does this, the younger brother's power in the court will inevitably be too great!"

"Brother said first, although those subordinate disciples gathered under the command of the younger brother, the younger brother has never even seen many people."

"Don't think about giving them benefits because they are subordinates of your brother, it's useless."

"We don't have that close relationship!"

I still remember that when Ying Chengcheng was young, the Korean foreign relatives group headed by the Empress Dowager Xia and Ying Chengcheng as the card, the Zhao foreign relatives group headed by Zhao Ji, the foreign guest force group headed by Lu Buwei, and the Chu foreign relatives group headed by the Empress Dowager Huayang, fought to the death and fought to the death.

Now, Zhao Ji is imprisoned in Ganquan Palace, and Lü Buwei is in Bashu, and the last big ship belonging to Chu's relatives is about to sink.

In the past, the Quartet forces that dominated the situation and influenced the Great Qin Dynasty are now only the Yingcheng Clan!

As a result, eldest brother, you still want to hand over the corpse of your Chu relatives to your brother to devour?

My brother will be strangled to death!

Ying Zheng replied calmly: "Brother Wang feels wrong. ”

"Chu's relatives have a deep foundation in my Great Qin, and it will be difficult for my brother to eradicate them."

"Brother Wang is not much in the court today, but he has returned with victory, and he can charge into battle and shout for Brother Nai."

"And there are still many virtuous talents available in Brother Wang's mansion, although these people are difficult to bear high positions, they are relatively credible after all, and they can be replaced by officials from the grassroots level of my Great Qin."

"If you can get the help of Brother Wang, Brother Nai will be much easier."

Ying Chengcheng said without hesitation: "In this case, my brother has no shirk responsibility!" ”

Forcibly suppressing the guilt of deceiving the fool in his heart, Yingzheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang." ”

Ying Chengcheng raised the wine lord with a smile: "The eldest brother and younger brother are still polite?" ”

"Drink to win!"

After chatting for a long time, after drinking a few knights, seeing that Ying Zheng was still chatting, Ying Cheng couldn't sit still.

Twisting his body on the soft couch, Ying Cheng looked at Ying Zheng with a little apprehension: "Big brother." ”

"As for what the courtiers say today, it is that the younger brother knows the words of ghosts and gods, and can understand ghosts and gods."

"Big brother, there's nothing you want to ask?"
