The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 165 Harem Politics
The second question is why the king wants to form an alliance with the State of Zhao. Can the deep hatred between Qin and Zhao really be resolved? Moreover, marrying someone with the same surname, how can this be considered decent!

The one that Zhao State is marrying into the alliance with must be a royal princess. This one is different from that Wei Bazi. No, she is a beloved one now. That little bitch is actually pregnant with a dragon seed.

But it doesn't matter. That little bitch from Wei State was born in an ordinary family, had no help from her maternal family, and her appearance was ordinary. If she wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't be able to see the king several times a year.

It has to be said that as new people gradually joined the harem, Mi Yun's sense of crisis became increasingly greater.

And her brother Changping Jun is also putting some pressure on her. Changping Jun represents the Chu faction, and what he wants most now is to enter the cabinet, enter the cabinet!
Once you go in, you never want to come out again!

But Mi Yun was not stupid. How could she bring up such a thing? She didn't even dare to hint at it indirectly.

Although Changping Jun knew that he couldn't be impatient, he was still very anxious.

Each faction leader represents the interests of the group of people behind him. If he cannot help his faction grow and gain benefits, he will soon be abandoned.

He was almost abandoned after being kicked out of the cabinet, but was soon appointed as vice-prime minister and his situation was stabilized.

But if you want to really secure your position, you must join the cabinet. Now this is the tacit agreement of the Qin Dynasty. If you don't join the cabinet, you are not considered the real power core of the Qin Dynasty.

He couldn't help but be anxious, and both the brother and sister were angry about this.

As for Wei Xianxian, she originally felt a greater sense of crisis. In the Xianyang Palace, she had no one to rely on, or in other words, she could only rely on the King of Qin in the world.

Moreover, she knew very well that her appearance was not the most beautiful in the world, and it was basically impossible for her to gain the king's favor for a long time. Recently, the king asked her to sleep with him almost every day. Although she seemed to be favored, in fact, it was just because there were not many people in the harem.

After all, there are only Mi Yun and himself, and Mi Yun is pregnant, so the king has no choice.

The most important thing is to have a child.

During this period, she took advantage of this best opportunity and slept with him many times, hoping to have a child.

She was lucky because her period didn't come last month. After repeated irrigation, she successfully conceived.

Wei Xianxian was extremely excited. Now she really had someone to rely on and she was no longer afraid.

After Wei Xianxian told Ying Zheng about this, Ying Zheng was extremely happy. He directly promoted her from the eighth son to a beloved wife and rewarded her with many treasures.

And after she became pregnant with the emperor's seed and became a good wife, many Wei officials from the previous dynasty also presented her with many treasures, and their intention to serve the emperor was very obvious.

After testing the waters to make offerings and finding that the king did not stop them and acquiesced, almost all officials of Wei origin presented their gifts.

Wei Xianxian is no longer alone now. She has political allies in the previous dynasty, and her current power is not small. There are many Wei people in Qin State.

It is not for nothing that Wei State is known as the "Institute for Training and Exporting Warring States Talents".

What surprised Wei Xianxian the most was that the state commander Wei Liao also sent her a gift, which had a very meaningful meaning.

Of course, all of this was seen by Ying Zheng and he acquiesced to it. Since ancient times, there has been no private affairs in the royal family.

The harem and the front palace have always been unclear.

If the political faction of the previous dynasty has no one in the king's harem, but other factions do, then you will not be able to sleep well.

Even if there is no chance to send him in, we must find one to form a political alliance with.

No smart person would underestimate the rumors. Having someone in the harem means obtaining and passing on information.

Some words are very important for the king to hear, but who says them is even more important, and the effect is completely different.

Ying Zheng was also very clear about this. Instead of letting them mess around, it would be better to give them a direction and guide them. In this way, everything would be under his nose and under control, which would be better.

After all, it is normal for different factions to fight with each other, and it is impossible not to fight.

It is even more impossible to have no parties. The Qin State has always valued the scholars of the six countries, and it is inevitable that the scholars of the six countries will form groups with each other.

Regional discrimination and regional grouping will never change. People will definitely trust and be more willing to play with people who have the same accent as them.

What's more, the countries hate each other. Even though they are now in the same dynasty, the conflicts and hatred will only increase. After all, it was only national hatred before, but now there is also a struggle for court interests, so the hatred is real.

There are also disputes over theories, and even among classmates, there are disputes between schools of thought.

The Qin Dynasty, as well as the other countries, are now all family-run. The parties in the court have no political program or common goals. Now everyone is fighting for their own reputation and wealth, so naturally they fight to the point of fighting their brains out.

There is nothing more difficult in this world than unity.

After all, it is pure delusion to say that there are no parties in the court; there are no factions within the party, as there are all kinds of weird things.

How difficult is it? To be frank, a family of three may not be united, and a family of four may quarrel.

Moreover, how can these many people, who come from different countries, different places, with different accents, from different families, with different viewpoints, different political ideas, different doctrines, and different factions, be united?

The only thing about people being united is that they are not united.

Because everyone is different.

Ying Zheng was happy to see this happen.

Only in this way can Ying Zheng always firmly grasp the supreme power.

Anyway, as long as you unite under my command and obey my will, other fights are up to you as long as they are within the rules. If the fight is not fierce enough, I will add fuel to the fire.

For the Wei people in the Qin court, there is no more suitable candidate than Wei Xianxian.

As a person from the State of Wei, he has a clean background and no worries, which means that there will be no favoritism after he joins the army and everyone will rely on their own abilities.

Moreover, she was one of the first people to enter the palace, is currently favored, and is pregnant with the dragon seed. She is simply the best candidate.

Didn't you see that Wei Liao, the leader of the Wei people, had already presented gifts? Ever since Mi Yun entered the palace, Changping Jun was named the second prime minister, and Madam Mi Yun was extremely favored in the harem, the entire Chu faction began to be proud of itself in the court again.

The previous feeling of oppression and subtly being controlled disappeared in an instant, and my colleagues were smiling more often.

How can people from other countries not be anxious about this?

The cake is only this big. If the Chu family eats more, others will have to eat less.

Now all the officials in the Qin court think that the king's harem is too small and he should quickly take in more concubines.

Even the Qin people were secretly worried.

It is not okay for the king to be surrounded by beauties from other countries, our own people are also needed, and they are the most important!

At present, those who are born in Zhao State are not in a hurry.

Because the Princess of Zhao is coming, they have already prepared for a big fight.

There were relatively few Zhao scholars in Qin, and their influence in Qin was too small. Being small meant being easily bullied, so they had long wanted to be proud.

Just wait for the new lady to come to Qin. Everyone should unite temporarily to grab the cake. After grabbing it, it will be easier to grab, no, easier to divide since there are fewer people.

As the number of people in the King of Qin's harem gradually increased, many people became really anxious.

Originally, many regents had nothing to do with it, as they were not familiar with the State of Chu anyway. But as Wei Liao presented a gift to Wei Xianxian, others began to have some ideas.

In most cases, the first move is important.

Wei Liao was also helpless. At his age, he just wanted to do something and leave his name in history.

But even with the strong support of the King of Qin, we still need our own people to do the work.

Since you need your own people, you have to train a team, and then you will inevitably be involved in disputes.

Once you are involved, don't think about getting out. A Wei person will definitely lean towards Wei people. Once you are involved, you will have to fight even if you don't want to.

Of course, his subordinates include not only people from Wei, but there are definitely more people from Wei.

Representing the group of people below, what can we do?
I can only take the lead in the charge.

Being a leader enjoys the highest honor and power, as well as everyone's support, but these all come at a price, and are mutual. The leader must also safeguard and develop the interests of his own faction.

The world of fame and fortune has always been one where you have no control over yourself. Either you don’t enter, or once you enter, don’t think about getting out.

Just like now, Wei Zhuang, Zhang Tang, and Yang Duanhe jointly requested Ying Zheng to enrich his harem.

It is very clear that now the royal family is sparse and the harem is thin. The king should enrich the harem for the sake of his ancestors and the country. Especially now that the harem has Chu, Wei, and Zhao, how can there be no Qin women?

Suitable ladies should be selected from among the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Qin Dynasty to fill the harem.

Yang Duanhe was the most enthusiastic about this matter. Ever since he had a stint in the Regency Cabinet, he had dreamed of getting in again.

In the short term, there is no chance of getting in by fighting.

Then we can only think of other ways.

If I could present a beauty that suits the king's taste and make her his favorite concubine, and then persuade him to do something about it, it would be a good idea.

Harem politics has always been something that should not be underestimated. It doesn’t matter if the tactics are old, as long as they are useful.

Moreover, Wei Zhuang and Zhang Tang have always been dissatisfied and hope that there will be Qin women in the harem. How can it be a disgrace for the King of Qin to have no Qin women in his harem?
The three of them hit it off immediately.

Ying Zheng saw through their little thoughts clearly, but this was indeed the truth.

Let Wei Zhuang be responsible for this matter, but also explain that it is not allowed to be too extravagant, and just select a few suitable people.

A lonely man, a lonely man. No matter whether the women in the harem have other intentions at the beginning, they will be drawn into this world of fame and fortune sooner or later.

It is inevitable that feelings will eventually be involved in interests. It is a bit hypocritical to say this. Is there any absolutely pure feeling in the world?

It's good enough if it's not a purely interest-based relationship. If there's more emotion than interest involved, then you'd be extremely lucky.

Human beings themselves are material beings and can never be separated from matter.

How can we distinguish so clearly between material value and emotional value?
Just like when one person likes another person, there are always some points about this person that are worthy of his liking, whether it be appearance, personality, talent, ability, wealth, power, or other factors. There is no liking or love without reason.

As for the women around him, Ying Zheng did not expect every one of them to be only for him. After all, their statuses were unequal, so how could he talk about equality and sincerity of feelings?

What is the person who makes up oneself? After all, the person who makes up oneself is also composed of all the above factors.

Falling in love with yourself may be due to one or some of the above factors, but it is also yourself.

Many people are unaware of the situation they are in, but not Ying Zheng. He is always very clear about it.

It is difficult to understand the authenticity and depth of feelings.

Even if he is an emperor, he can control people's lives, but he cannot control people's hearts.

I just hope that in the future my woman will be less calculating and a little more affectionate to me.

Now it can be said that there is three parts of emotion and seven parts of interests and calculations.

A woman who has a child, especially a son, probably only has three points of affection for him and ninety-seven points of interests and calculations.
