In the court hall of the Xiangwang Palace of Qinzhuang in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, hundreds of ministers are discussing various matters related to Qin's foreign use of troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, a gray-clothed eunuch rushed to the throne and sat on the throne, majestic and cold, like a god, King Xiang of Qinzhuang Yingchu whispered a few words in his ear, King Xiang's eyes flashed slightly, and finally there was a little human breath, and he preached: "Prince Xuan's government is in the palace." ”

The ministers who were sitting on both sides of the main hall to discuss politics, including Lü Buwei, who was already sitting at the front of the main hall on the right, also quieted down and looked at the palace gate, waiting for the concubines and sons left by King Xiang of Qin Zhuang in Zhao to go to the palace.

In this dead silence that is enough to oppress ordinary adults to the ground, Yingzheng's figure slowly grew from a small black dot outside the main hall, and when he walked to the main hall, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang and the ministers saw Yingzheng thoroughly.

Ying Zheng's face was plain and slightly respectful, his steps were gentle and equidistant, his arms were straight and powerful, in the eyes of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang and his ministers, although Ying Zheng was only ten years old at this time, he had already revealed his future majestic appearance.

Ying Zheng stood in the center of the main hall and saluted King Xiang of Qin Zhuang and the ministers on the throne according to etiquette and then stopped speaking, even if the eyes of everyone at the top of the Qin State were focused on Ying Zheng's slightly thin body at this time, Ying Zheng still stood like a pine and cypress.

In the hall at this moment, no matter how proficient in etiquette and how demanding and capable people are, they can't find a thorn in the perfect performance of Yingzheng, and a ten-year-old child can be called a genius to do this.

And after listening to Ying Zheng's congratulations and looking at Ying Zheng, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang couldn't help but have thoughts in his heart, 'This child is really like himself', "This child is really good, it should be the talent of the emperor" and so on, although he and Ying Zheng met for the first time after Ying Zheng was born, but he was very inexplicably raised a sense of intimacy and licking calves.

The reason why King Xiang of Qin Zhuang appeared in such emotions was because Ying Zheng performed the secret technique of the Zongheng family to arouse the emotions of others with words containing his own emotions or the spirit of literature and Taoism when he saluted him. Otherwise, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, as a Legalist scholar and a martial arts cultivator in the Taiyi Realm, would naturally not be able to casually change his mind and appear this kind of emotion that could easily affect his judgment.

Ying Zhengfu used the secret technique of the Zongheng family as soon as they met, although he has been verified to be the bloodline of the Ying family, but because his mother Zhao Ji was a concubine of Lu Buwei, his background is one level lower than the other sons of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, if you don't give King Xiang of Qin Zhuang a strong first impression, it will be difficult to compete with other sons for the position of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang.

King Xiang of Qin Zhuang did not have any actions or words even if his mind was changed at the moment, although he already had a good impression of Ying Zheng, but he had to wait for the clan to discuss before he could give Ying Zheng the treatment he deserved.

Lü Buwei, as a sage who will establish a miscellaneous family lineage in the future, has already understood the mind of King Xiang of Qinzhuang, and he immediately stood up to the center of the hall and saluted King Xiang of Qinzhuang and said: "Gongzi has been away for a long time, and he misses Your Majesty every day, and now he has returned to Xianyang and is not familiar with the Qin clan, so he should take Gongzi to get close to other patriarchs of the clan." ”

However, Lü Buwei's behavior of wanting to use his power to evade Yingzheng with a few words to avoid the consideration of the clan instead aroused the dissatisfaction of the eldest son of the Qin Zhuangxiang royal family.

"That's as it should be. The eldest son of the first king, Yingfu, also stood up, saluted King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, and said: "Gongzi Zheng has lived in Zhao for a long time, and the old minister is pitiful, and the wild saying says: 'Sharpen talents'." Our clan should know where the son's current academic ability is, so that he can choose the prince as the most important. I wonder if the old minister can ask the son a few questions?"

Although he was speaking to King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, his eyes were on Lü Buwei and Yingzheng, obviously dissatisfied with Lü Buwei's overstepping of his authority and Yingzheng's background.

Before King Xiang of Qin Zhuang could answer, Lu Buwei, who had been offended by Xiangquan, said first: "The son is young and the trip is difficult, so it is not too late to arrange it after settling down." ”

However, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang still had hopes for Yingzheng, and he made up his mind that if Yingzheng could pass the test of the clan, he would treat him and other sons equally.

So King Xiang of Qin Zhuang said to Lü Buwei. "Gongzi is the widow's elder brother, the uncle of Zhenggongzi, and the minister of the clan, Aiqing also said that Gongzi should get close to the minister of the clan as soon as possible, it doesn't matter. ”

King Xiang of Qin Zhuang has already revealed the relationship between Yingzheng and himself and Yingwei one by one, and has already slightly expressed his hope for Yingzheng, and Lü Buwei and Yingfu no longer argue.

"Thank you for your enlightenment," Ying Fu said, then turned to Ying Zheng and asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi every day that he misses his father and the motherland, do you know the predicament that the Qin State is facing now?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and King Xiang of Qin Zhuang also frowned. The Qin State is so powerful, and the Six Kingdoms are even worshiped by ministers because of the Six Covenants, and in the eyes of the world, they are already backhanded and can dominate the world, even some scholars of literature and Taoism can't see what the Qin State is in trouble. Now, asking such a question to a ten-year-old child is almost as if it were deliberately difficult.

However, Ying Zheng replied after thinking about it: "The boy is young and has not returned to China for a long time, and he lives in Handan Proton Mansion and does not know domestic and foreign affairs, so he should not talk nonsense, but now that his uncle has a question, the boy should answer." If you make a mistake, you can laugh at it.

The boy lived in Handan for ten years, and often heard that Handan was often surrounded by the Qin army. However, in the past ten years, the Qin army has come to the city dozens of times, but it has not been down for a long time, so it is already tired, and it makes Zhao have the patience and perseverance to fight against the Qin army. The kid thinks that the key to the difficulty of my Great Qin to advance eastward and sweep the Six Kingdoms now is that I can't capture Handan, which is the dilemma that my Great Qin is currently facing. ”

Ying Zheng's voice was still a little immature, but with the blessing of the secret art of the Zongheng family, the firmness and discipline contained in it made all the ministers in the hall who were as hard as iron have a feeling of convincing approval.

Zong Zheng Yingfu looked at Yingzheng for a long time in great surprise, and finally said to King Xiang of Qin Zhuang: "Gongzi Zheng has the talent of heaven and depth, and he has the style of His Majesty. ”

Lü Buwei also recovered from the convincing recognition and surprise in his heart at this moment, and immediately got up and congratulated: "Congratulations to the king on getting a unicorn." ”

So the hall was immediately filled with the congratulatory voices of the ministers, "Congratulations to the king on getting a unicorn".

King Xiang of Qin Zhuang smiled because of Yingfu's 'quite His Majesty's demeanor' and the congratulations of the ministers, and finally raised the status of Yingzheng to the top three ranks of his thirteen sons, and preached: "Give Gongzi Zheng Yeyang Palace, according to Zongzheng Yingjie's words, the whole country chooses a famous teacher as his wife." ”

Ying Zheng made perfect use of this opportunity to meet for the first time, directly got rid of the disadvantage of his background, won the favor of the ministers, and became a strong contender for the throne of King Qin.
