The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 155: Alliance with Yan State and Yan Dan
After a night of pleasure, Ying Zheng felt refreshed.

Xianxian is worthy of her name, with slender hands, slender fingers, a swan-like neck and a slender waist.

Although she cannot be compared with Mi Yun, Mi Yun is the only one with a slender waist. She will not be compared with him, after all, no one can compare with her.

And that butterfly, ahem, slender, with long slender legs.

okay!
As the saying goes, when someone is happy, someone else is sad.

Mi Yun, who was originally immersed in the joy of being pregnant, suddenly felt jealous when she heard that the new beauty from Wei State was favored.

Although I knew this a long time ago, I still feel very sad.

As soon as Wei Xianxian from Wei State arrived in Qin State, she sent people to investigate secretly.

The result is still very satisfactory.

Wei Xianxian's family background is not as good as mine, and her father has severed their father-daughter relationship with her. She is not as good-looking as mine, not to mention her figure.

Not threatening.

He is not even as threatening as the one named Jingwei who is beside the king.

During this period of time, Mi Yun has basically figured out the relationships among the women in the harem of Xianyang Palace.

His backer is strong enough, but not the strongest one. The person that the Xianyang Palace cannot afford to offend the most is Queen Dowager Zhao. Whoever offends her will die. This is absolutely certain.

Apart from Queen Dowager Zhao, his backers are strong enough.

There are only six personal attendants around the king, but the most favored one is Jingwei Liwu.

Especially that Jingwei! She is indeed the biggest threat.

Mi Yun is good at Yin-Yang magic. After observing the Yin-Yang aura, he found that among the six people, only Xia Yue and Dong Xue were virgins, while the others were still virgins.

Fortunately, Xia Yuedong Xue is not a threat.

It's strange. Although the king is good in every way, he is particularly keen on matters between men and women, and he is also very capable. Why hasn't he let Jingwei sleep with him?

Even though Mi Yun was quite proud, he had to admit that Jing Wei was truly a stunning beauty, whose looks and temperament were no worse than his own. It was strange that the king hadn't taken her yet.

Never mind, it’s a good thing anyway.

Now that I am pregnant with the king’s eldest son, there is no problem.

There was only a dark cloud hanging over Mi Yun's head. No one in the palace dared to speak out, as she felt it herself.

That Master Nian Duan who often came into the palace, it seemed, probably, perhaps, possibly, that he did have some unclear relations with the king.

Apart from her status, this woman is no match for him in other aspects.

Well. Except for that nasty granary.

However, the king seemed to have very special feelings for her.

Although I haven't seen her many times, every time I see her, she has the aura of a king.

The king's aura was overbearing and extremely aggressive, and it was very obvious.

This is very obvious in Master Nian Duan.

The woman's intuition told her that this woman was difficult to deal with.

But Mi Yun didn't dare to investigate it further, nor did he want to think about it too much.

Comfort yourself by thinking that since their identities are not made public now and most likely will not be made public in the future, they are not a threat.

Besides, the old woman is old, humph, how can she compare with me? After a few years, she will be old and ugly, and this threat will naturally disappear.

But I still feel very sad.

My king, my king.

How nice it would be if you were just my concubine.

Mi Yun certainly knew that this was impossible, but at least the position of queen must be hers.

The mother's status depends on her son, so the position of queen is already in her pocket.

Mi Yun is very confident about this.

After all, I am the only one who is pregnant with the king's son, and I am the king's first lady. I really can't understand how I could lose.

Mi Yun, you will win!
Ying Zheng was too lazy to care about the trivial matters in the harem.

The most important thing now is to find a way to break the ice with the State of Zhao.

This marriage is against the rules. The two countries are of the same clan and origin. Although it happened thousands of years ago, they still have the same surname. Marriage between people with the same surname goes against the rules.

But a son with royal blood of Zhao is too important.

The hatred between Qin and Zhao was as deep as the sea. For the stable rule and smooth transition after unification, this son was very important.

I also want to kill fewer people.

Ying Zheng was hesitating about this matter.

Finally, he consulted with the cabinet ministers, three of them were against and three were in favor.

A thousand years have passed, done.

He was willing to risk world disapproval in order to resolve the feud between Qin and Zhao by claiming to be righteous. Good publicity could reduce the adverse effects to a certain extent.

Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Besides, the marriage is a matter between two families. Since both families have done it, there is nothing more to say.

This matter needs to be done quickly. Ten years is enough to start a war to annihilate the country. We need to get such a son as soon as possible.

This is unlikely to fail. Zhao Yan has just succeeded to the throne and forced Lian Po to leave. He also has to deal with the massive attack of the Huns and guard against Wei and Yan. Now he dare not offend the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng's reputation is still somewhat deceptive, and with Qin's good friend, Zhao's pure war god Guo Kai, this plan will surely succeed.

Zhao and Yan have been feuding for generations and have been fighting endlessly, which has not stopped in recent years. They can also take advantage of the power of Yan.

Zhao Yan is still young and not a man of great talent or strategy, but there is nothing this young man cannot do.

Moreover, my He Shi Bi has been away from me for too long. I want to say hello to Guo Kai and ask for this as my dowry.

There is no city to exchange this time, I hope Guo Kai’s eloquence is powerful.

The three-piece set of Suizhu, Bitai'a sword should be completed as soon as possible.

Now that you have made up your mind, do it.

Go to Yan State first!

Alliance!

My good friend Yan Dan, I miss you so much.

Cai Ze went to the State of Yan with valuable gifts to discuss the alliance of alliance and horizontal alliance again.

The State of Yan welcomed them with great ceremony, and Qin and Yan had always been united to conquer Wei and Zhao.

Given the strength of Qin, Yan generally would not offend Qin, and this was just a routine matter.

Cai Ze questioned why the five states attacked Qin. Qin had never attacked Yan, so why did Yan break the alliance? Cai Ze's moral offensive was meaningless because King Xi of Yan was not a moral person.

However, the Qin army of hundreds of thousands allowed King Xi of Yan to communicate calmly, even when being questioned.

What made him feel guilty about breaking the alliance was not the moral issue, but the fact that he could not win the battle. Now it is obvious that the Qin State has recovered.

Moreover, he seemed to have heard that the King of Qin wanted to form an alliance with the State of Zhao. How could this be possible? !
If Qin and Zhao form an alliance, then who is the vertical alliance and who is the horizontal alliance?

Yan State was already no match for Zhao State. If Qin State joined in to take advantage of the situation, even if it only provided some support and did not hinder Zhao State, it would be a big problem for Zhao State to be able to free up its hands completely.

Zhao had many horses and elite cavalry. Although Yan was not inferior to Zhao in manpower, fighting in the open area in the north would be a massacre of infantry by cavalry.

What's more, Zhao State has many famous generals. Although Lian Po has now gone to Wei State, there is still the even stronger Li Mu.

After all, Lian Po was good at defense but not at attack. Even so, he was still holding down the hammer of Yan State. If it were Li Mu, the master of cavalry field battles, who was in his place, King Yan would not even dare to imagine the scene.

Therefore, even when the king of a country was questioned by foreign envoys, he did not dare to get angry. Instead, he tried to explain that he was forced to do so and there was nothing he could do. He hoped that Qin would understand.

Cai Ze also decided to stop while he was ahead, as long as the State of Yan surrendered.

The two countries reconciled and formed an alliance again, but this time, Qin required Yan to send a hostage.

King Xi of Yan did not even hesitate for a moment and directly agreed to send Crown Prince Yan Dan, who had just returned a few years ago, as a hostage in Qin.

Let’s talk about Yan Dan. Six years ago, he escaped from Zhao State to Yan State with the help of Nong Jia and Chu Mo, and with the great help of Chu Mo, he also gained some fame in Yan State.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight's investment in Yan Dan has not paid off yet. It has to be said that the Six-Fingered Black Knight's investment vision is really not very good.

Similarly, rare goods were worth keeping, so Lu Buwei first researched the market, won over Lady Huayang and Lord Yangquan, and got to know King Xiaowen's character and his feelings for Lady Huayang before going all in.

Not so easy to imitate.

Because the Six-Fingered Black Knight did not investigate the market.

Prince Xi of Yan was a notorious man with great ambitions but little talent, and was cold-blooded and ruthless.

A typical monarch who is good at internal fighting but not good at external fighting.

Even towards his own legitimate son, he was extremely wary, believing that the entire power of the Yan State must be firmly in his hands, even if it meant losses for the Yan State.

His younger brother Yan Chunjun is his sharp blade, a blade for doing dirty things and balancing.

Yan Chunjun is a typical aristocrat, but he is not stupid, he is just bad, but even such a bad person is afraid of his brother.

He was so afraid that he only followed his brother's lead, even though he knew that all the things he did were bad reputation, but this was actually a life-saving talisman for him.

Yan Chunjun had already laid down. Anyway, as long as he could be rich and glorious, he would not dare to dream of that position. Cooperating with his elder brother would allow him to have more power and do happier things. Why not do it?

If you don't cooperate, you will be sent away by others who cooperate.

It's not like I'm the only brother.

Under the rule of King Xi of Yan, Yan Dan clearly contributed a lot to the State of Yan, but all he gained was the status of crown prince and some reputation, but no actual political power or influence in the court.

Everyone in the Yan court knew what kind of person Prince Xi of Yan was. Moreover, Prince Xi of Yan was in his prime. If anyone dared to get close to the prince, wouldn't that be courting death?
As for the Nong family and Chu Mo?
What a joke, where did this mud-legged person come from?

Fork out.

They are a legitimate branch of the old Zhou Dynasty and the top aristocracy of the Zhou Dynasty that has existed for 800 years. Now that the Zhou Dynasty is in decline, they are the most noble.

It is Dayan’s duty to repeat the glory of our ancestors!
Going back further, it is a noble bloodline of two thousand years.

His clan name has been passed down for eight hundred years, and his last name is even more extraordinary.

Do you know Huangdi?
Yes, that is our ancestor.

What? You are also a descendant of Yan and Huang?
That's right, but are you worthy compared to me?
Do you know what direct lineage is?
When my ancestors occupied the Central Plains, they had already established a dignity that would last forever.

Not to mention that our ancestors had already suffered a lot when they entered Chaoge eight hundred years ago.

No wonder Zou Yan has not given up yet and is so concerned about the State of Yan.

There are reasons for everything. I don't know whether the so-called Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon require the bloodline of the Ji family to open.

But Ying Zheng was not in a hurry, because the purest Ji surname was now in the hands of the Qin Dynasty.

The farmers are fine and have kept a calm mind. After all, the entire farming family is now thriving in the State of Qin. Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your recognition and trust!

Chu Mo was a little overwhelmed. Mohist doctrines were not popular anywhere, let alone in this old vassal state that was so old that it was almost forming an aristocratic bloodline.

The person being invested in is a young prince, and this prince has a father above him. So far, it is pure investment with no returns.

And the prospects are not optimistic. It seems that there is no telling when this situation will be resolved.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was even doubting whether he would lose money on the investment, and was also wondering whether his investment was a mistake.

However, it took several years of energy and hard work, and the entire Chu Mo had invested a lot. Now the sunk cost is a bit high, and the Six-Fingered Black Knight can only try again.

After all, after several years of teaching, the Six-Fingered Black Knight has developed some feelings for his apprentice. Chu Mo values ​​friendship and loyalty. With the current situation in Yan State, he would be in trouble if he abandons Yan Dan.

However, in the past few years, the Six-Fingered Black Knight has also discovered some more serious problems. Yan Dan is undoubtedly a martial arts genius, and his progress in practicing Mohist philosophy is rapid. The Six-Fingered Black Knight admits that he cannot compare to him.

But Yan Dan only learned Mohist martial arts, and he didn't care much about Mohist doctrines.

Being friendly and modest is all well, but the Mohist ideas of universal love, non-aggression, respecting the virtuous, respecting the same, heaven's will, understanding ghosts, opposing fatalism, opposing music, frugal burials, and frugality in spending don't seem to work.

From long-term contact, I figured out that Yan Dan, probably because he was born into a royal family, loved fine clothes and food, luxury cars and horses. He never compromised in his life and insisted on a luxurious and comfortable one.

He seems normal among the royal aristocracy, and compared with the royal aristocracy, he is already a rare good person, but his style is very different from that of the Mohists.

Whatever, it’s impossible for the royal family to be the boss anyway.

It is enough to be able to join the Mohist School and provide some help to the Mohist School in the future.

You still have to consider the selection of giants carefully.

Yan Dan was not opposed to renewing the alliance with Qin and even going to Qin as a hostage.

After all, from his perspective, Ying Zheng is his good brother who has taken care of him since he was a child.

We have often exchanged letters over the years and have never lost contact.

This time I go to Qin just to stay for a few more years to gain experience and then return to Yan.

Anyway, there is nothing to do in Yan State and it is difficult to have opportunities to do anything.

I haven't seen my elder brother for many years and I miss him so much. It would be nice to go and see him.

Although Yan Dan was not opposed to this trip to Qin as a hostage, he was extremely dissatisfied with his father's attitude.

To be honest, Yan Dan has never felt what fatherly love is since childhood.

As soon as he was old enough to understand, he was sent to Zhao State as a hostage. At that time, King Xi of Yan had just ascended the throne. Yan and Zhao had been at war for years. In order to maintain external stability in the early days of his reign, Yan Dan was sent to Zhao State directly and neatly. You know, Yan State had the deepest hatred with Qi and Zhao.

It wasn’t over yet. Within two years, King Xi of Yan had firmly established himself on the throne and took advantage of the fact that Zhao had been badly weakened by the battles of Changping and Handan to launch an attack, not caring at all about Yan Dan’s life or death.

And just be a proton. It's a risk of death. It's okay to give you more daily goods. At least you can live a more comfortable life.

The result was basically nothing. If it weren't for the frequent help from our good brother Ying Zheng, it would have been really miserable.

Yan Dan didn't even doubt whether he was a legitimate son, but whether he was his biological son.
