The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 116: Summon Nian Duan and Enter the Orchid Pond

My king, why do you treat me like this? I work hard and seriously, and one more person doesn't make a difference. Yang Duanhe also has the same idea. Once power is obtained, losing it is more painful than death.

The two men, who had just taken control of the country's political power for a few months, were extremely painful to suddenly lose power, but they did not dare to blame Ying Zheng. They only dared to place their hatred on Wei Liao who had taken their positions.

Wei Liao was also secretly isolated in the Regent Office. He was an outsider who was suddenly promoted to a high position, held great power and was trusted by the king. He was also a disciple of Guiguzi who often called the shots in Qin. It would be strange if people were not wary of him.

Moreover, as a top minister, why would he deliberately befriend the national commander? This would make the king extremely alert.

Just do everything in a fair and impartial manner.

Wei Liao was also an expert at court struggles. After all, he was already at this age, and he knew very well that everything he had came from the king. As an outsider who was in charge of the country's military affairs and in a sensitive position, making friends with high-ranking officials would be a way to his own death.

Therefore, he deliberately maintains a solitary political status. The king's trust and respect are the foundation of his life.

This is all what Ying Zheng wanted to see.

In this way, the first year of King Zheng of Qin passed peacefully, because Qin did not attack anyone else this year.

The second year of King Zheng of Qin has arrived. Last year he consolidated his power, recruited talented people, and rested and recuperated. This year, it is time to take action.

This year is a good day. The good thing about this day is that Ying Zheng himself can become a political weapon, the King of Qin, a good tool for marriage.

At the beginning of the year, the entire top power group of the entire Qin Dynasty had already formulated a basic strategy, gradually eroding the Three Jins, focusing on Han, and opening up the hub of the world. After that, they would have enough room to advance and retreat.

The year before last, the power of Wei State shook the world, causing fear among other countries. Zhao State had been ready to make a move. Wei Liao had been busy since he entered Qin State. With the efforts of Qin's spies, he was very confident that he could instigate Zhao State to attack Wei. Once Zhao and Wei fought, it would be a good opportunity to attack Han State.

Qi had already surrendered, and Qi and Qin had been friendly for many years. Envoys had been sent this year to discuss the alliance.

And there is also the State of Yan. My dear friend Yan Dan has returned to his country and was named crown prince.

With the help of this relationship, a temporary alliance with the State of Yan can be formed. The territories of Qin and Yan are not adjacent, so there is no need to rush to attack the State of Yan. Moreover, as for a guy like King Xi of Yan who would forget his principles when he sees profit, the Qin envoys with a large sum of money do not need to look for powerful officials, but can go directly to the King of Yan.

The best thing would be to provoke a fight between Yan and Zhao. If that doesn't work, let Yan attack Qi. Find a way to force Lian Po away, and Yan will dare to take action.

And there is my beloved Chu State, this fragmented Chu State.

The State of Chu has always had a bad relationship with the other six states, and is treated the same as the State of Qin, making it the best target for an alliance. Anyway, the State of Chu has a vast territory, a sparse population, poor mountains and bad waters, and its nobles are powerful but scattered, making it difficult to grow stronger, so it is suitable to be attacked at a later stage.

With so many Chu-affiliated forces in the Qin Dynasty, how can we not form alliances?

Qi, Yan and Chu should not meddle blindly, but should stabilize Zhao first and stir up civil strife in the Three Jins. The advantage is mine!
And the most important point is to quickly have sons and raise them. No matter what policies you want to adopt after unification, you will need sons, the more the better. Many things in this world can be expedited, but the raising of people cannot be rushed.

For an emperor, especially the First Emperor, sons were often political events that had to be dealt with quickly.

It was another busy day. Ying Zheng had just finished his work, completing today's tasks today. After reviewing all the memorials, it was already the hour of Xu.

Ying Zheng stood up and stretched, and Jingwei came forward considerately and naturally to serve him tea.

Today Jingwei was wearing a tight light yellow ring-neck off-shoulder long dress with extremely high slits on the legs, which was very artistic.

Revealing a pair of light grey long gauze footwear, and underneath it are Ying Zheng's favorite thin heels, hollowed out silk pure black high heels. This outfit highlights her figure very much. Jingwei already has an excellent figure, and this outfit makes her look more graceful and sexy. Coupled with her cool temperament and few words, she has a very contrasting beauty.

Although Jingwei is usually cold and aloof, her clothes are very tasteful and sexy, and her daily outfit is always a hit with Ying Zheng.

Li Wu, who was standing by, saw Jingwei attracting Ying Zheng's attention and felt jealous. She stepped forward and helped Ying Zheng adjust his belt again, even though there was nothing to adjust.

Li Wu's clothes were extremely charming, beautiful and bold.

She was still wearing a dark purple dress, but the top was hung around her neck by a thin strap.

A flawless back like jade is revealed, with a large area of ​​snow-white exposed from the neck and collarbone down.

The middle of the two hills is even more bold. The entire area is hollowed out, revealing a tip of the snow-capped mountain and iceberg, making people want to take a closer look at what the scenery is like above the snow-capped mountain.

Do you also know whether there is a red plum tree on the top of the snow-capped mountain, blooming in the wind?

Not to mention the pure black one-piece chiffon leggings, the pair of slender feet wearing the leggings are stepping on a pair of high-heeled, strapless, transparent, hollow, open-toed crystal shoes.

Coupled with her natural charm, she is truly a peerless beauty. After Ying Zheng knew that Li Wu was born in Wu and Yue, he secretly praised her and said, "No wonder she is so passionate and charming."

Maybe it's because I'm getting older recently. I often feel a little impatient and a little bloody. But it shouldn't be like this. I have been cultivating my nature for many years and I shouldn't be impatient. What's more, I have already harmonized the dragon and the tiger, evolved yin and yang, and created the five elements.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and ordered, "Come here, ask Master Nian Duan to come over."

"I will go back to the orchid pond to bathe first. Master Nian Duan can go directly to the orchid pond later."

The eunuch outside the door received the order and left in a hurry.

Li Wu was stunned, thinking that it was not appropriate to ask Nian to bring it over so late, and how could we get to Lanchi Palace? !

Speaking of which, Li Wu has always been very wary of Master Nian Duan.

Although Nian Duan had a lot of daily affairs to deal with, at the request of Ying Zheng, he generally did not leave Xianyang City. He was also responsible for all the medical care of the royal family and often went to the palace. Ying Zheng also often asked Nian Duan to discuss some important agricultural and medical matters.

Li Wu used her woman's intuition and felt that Nian Duan's eyes were not right when he looked at the king. The king's attitude towards Nian Duan was also quite subtle. At least it did not seem like a simple relationship between a monarch and his subject.

Li Wu wailed in her heart, My King, if you have any ideas, come to me.

If all else fails, you can just go after Sister Jingwei first. How can you be interested in an old woman who is boring, dull and cold? Don't be fooled by an old woman.

Of course, Li Wu would not and dared not say anything, nor would she show any expression.

When they returned to Lanchi Palace, Xia Yuedongxue came up to them happily and took off Ying Zheng's clothes.

Since the arrival of Jingwei and Liwu, the four of them had spent much less time serving Ying Zheng. After all, there were two more people serving him closely, and they were more favored.

They mainly served Ying Zheng in Lanchi Palace, but Ying Zheng spent most of his time in Zhangtai Palace, so the four of them could only wait in Lanchi every day, which made them hate Jingniu Liwu even more.
