The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 356: Considerations for Establishing a Queen
King Kaolie of Chu smiled and nodded: "Well said."

Then he sighed softly: "Qin is the ultimate enemy of Great Chu. I know this. I also know that the six countries will never unite, and they can only strengthen themselves before they can fight against Qin."

"Last year, my father wanted to unite the powers of all the countries to defeat the Qin State. Unfortunately, all the countries were scheming and were like insects. Such a grand event turned out to be a farce."

"What you said today is exactly what your father was thinking."

"I, your father, also want to ease the relationship with Qin. Rather than letting bygones be bygones, you have been in Qin for a long time. What do you think?"

Changping Jun was secretly delighted and replied, "Father, you are wise!"

"The idea of ​​uniting the two factions is indeed a good thing, and my father is also working hard for it."

"However, the six countries are all mediocre and are not worthy of working with them to achieve great things."

"Qin and Chu have been relatives for generations. Last year it was just a temporary misunderstanding. As long as we explain it well and show sincerity, we can naturally resolve the past grudge."

"After all, my sister and cousin are both extremely favored in the Qin King's harem, and the Qin King's eldest son has the blood of our Great Chu royal family."

"There is also Aunt Huayang. Although Aunt Huayang is no longer in charge of affairs, she has a great influence on the King of Qin, and the King of Qin has always treated her with respect."

"As long as our Great Chu shows sincerity in reconciliation, the two countries will put aside their past grievances and there will be no problem in renewing the alliance."

King Kaolie of Chu asked, "Given the character of the King of Qin, how could he break the alliance so easily?"

Changping Jun replied: "The King of Qin is just too concerned about loyalty, rules, and dignity."

"However, the King of Qin also values ​​courtesy and affection, gratitude and righteousness, and is also wise and benevolent."

"With the friendship between the two countries and the suffering of the people caused by the war, as long as we show our sincerity and save the face of the King of Qin, the two countries can return to their old friendship."

King Kaolie of Chu nodded and said, "Since you think it's okay, then tell me, what does it take to show sincerity?"

King Kaolie of Chu was stumped by this question. He couldn't just ask Lord Changping to cede land or pay compensation, right?
But the two countries are at war, and the losing side wants to stop the fighting. What else can they show as a token of sincerity, other than land and cities?
Changping Jun hesitated and found it difficult to speak.

King Kaolie of Chu also knew very well that he would definitely not be willing to cede land.

"Okay, don't worry, just think about it slowly and look at the current situation."

Changping Jun hesitated and said, "Father, how about I go to Qin as an envoy and use the excuse of forming an alliance to attack Wei to test the king's mind?"

King Kaolie of Chu's eyes lit up. This was indeed an idea. He could test the King of Qin's thoughts first. Even if the price was exorbitant, he could always pay him back on the spot.

King Kaolie of Chu nodded: "That's good."

He sighed and said, "I'm sorry that you have to travel thousands of miles again after only being home for a few days."

Changping Jun smiled and said, "I am your father's son, a prince of the Great Chu. For the sake of my country, I should do whatever I can. I am also familiar with the Qin State, so it is not hard at all."

King Kaolie of Chu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, you are worthy of being my son. Rest well at home for a few days before setting off again. Also, spend some time with your mother, and let our family get together."

Changping Jun replied respectfully: "Yes, I also want to spend more time with my father and mother. I only regret that I cannot be filial to my father and mother in Qin."

King Kaolie of Chu said emotionally: "Good, good boy, there will be many opportunities in the future."

At the family dinner that followed, the family was in a great mood with laughter and joy all the time.

King Kaolie of Chu and his family are really a good group of people with loving fathers, filial sons, friendly brothers and respectful younger brothers.

As for Wei, King Jingmin of Wei couldn't sleep after Qin and Yan jointly beat Zhao severely.

Although he is not very smart, his abilities are not that strong either.

But he was not so stupid as to be extremely stupid. He was well aware of the fate and situation that Wei State might face next.

There is no need to consider Qin's next target at all, it can only be Wei.

No matter whether it is new or old hatred, Qin will not let Wei go from any aspect.

The most terrifying thing is not just the Qin State, but also the Chu State and the Qi State.

As long as someone comes to attack the State of Wei, there will definitely be someone who takes advantage of the situation to rob.

With its current national strength severely damaged, the State of Wei would definitely not be able to withstand the siege.

First of all, the State of Zhao is unreliable. There is no need to think about it. The State of Zhao has no ability to attack now. However, it is absolutely impossible to count on the State of Zhao for rescue.

The State of Zhao does not have this ability, and even if it does, it is impossible for it to come to support.

King Jingmin of Wei acted decisively and sent envoys to Chu and Qi to form an alliance and negotiate peace to resist Qin.

It’s a pity that his plan didn’t work out very well.

Qi is fine. King Jian of Qi can only take advantage of the situation. It is impossible for him to take the initiative to attack. He does not have the courage or ability to do so.

And his actions backfired a bit.

As a person who has always been bullied by the State of Wei, now you, the State of Wei, are coming to me to negotiate peace. What does this mean?
This means the opportunity to take advantage of the situation has arrived!

As for the State of Chu, it was anxious to expand and replenish itself, and would definitely ignore the State of Wei.

King Kaolie of Chu also agreed with what Changping Jun said. Since they could not defeat the powerful Qin, it would be the best strategy to try to annex Wei and Qi first and divide the world with Qin.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, the State of Wei will definitely not be able to escape this year's beating.

While Ying Zheng was preparing his troops and sharpening his sword to attack the State of Wei, he also wanted to provoke Chu and Qi to take action together.

Even hatred will fade away with time.

Especially between countries, they are united because of their interests.

Therefore, we must let them fight frequently and let them be immersed in hatred every day, so that they cannot truly unite.

Even if they are together temporarily for the sake of interests, they are bound to be incompatible and full of intrigue, and it is difficult for them to become a big problem.

There is a truth that Ying Zheng knows very well: although the arsonist is hateful, the one who takes advantage of the fire is even more hateful. Moreover, it can also consume the power of the three countries, so it is not a loss no matter how you calculate it.

Qi is a good friend of Qin, both the king and his subjects.

The relationship between good friends needs to be maintained at all times.

Wang Ao had already gone to Qi with two thousand gold.

He also brought the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, which appeared out of nowhere last year, ended up at the Iron Blood Alliance's auction house, and was bought by Wei Liao.

The one thousand gold was given to Hou Sheng, and the other thousand gold was given to King Jian of Qi as wine money.

The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword was also presented to King Jian of Qi.

The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss is a sword of honesty and integrity. It would be very impolite if King Jian of Qi did not express his gratitude after receiving the sword.

What's more, there is Hou Sheng. They are not the kind of people who take money and do nothing.

I am not afraid of letting Qi take advantage of the situation, as long as I can let Chu take less advantage.

Sure enough, under Ying Zheng's generosity, Hou Sheng patted his chest and said that Qin's affairs were his affairs.

King Jian of Qi also readily agreed that as long as Qin attacked Wei, Qi would definitely help.

The only thing that Ying Zheng is still a little hesitant about is how to deal with the State of Chu.

Attacking Chu is not in line with the current strategic plan, but if Qin does not attack, it will lose face.

After all, it was the Chu State that led the coalition.

Moreover, as long as Qin and Qi jointly attack Wei, Chu will inevitably take advantage of the situation to attack Wei, which will be considered as taking advantage of Qin.

It makes me even angrier when I think about it.

Ying Zheng guessed that the State of Chu must be afraid of the attack from the Qin State, and was even more certain that the State of Chu wanted to ease relations with the Qin State.

Ying Zheng was also planning whether he could take advantage of this opportunity to regain his face while not letting the State of Chu take any advantage. It would be best if the State of Chu could work for the State of Qin.

After all, attacking Chu now is really not in line with Qin's grand strategy of annexation.

The relocation of the capital of Chu State is almost completed. Let's wait and see what happens in Chu State.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, you can’t be impatient.

If you are not sure that you are doing the right thing, then preventing yourself from making mistakes may be the best option.

Since it is obvious that Wei and Chu are the ones who should be more anxious now, then Daqin can wait a little longer.

Just as Ying Zheng was waiting for the opportunity, a memorial requesting the establishment of a queen made Ying Zheng frown slightly.

It was a memorial submitted by Zhao Xianshang, the deputy chief of the Zongzheng clan.

The royal family of the Qin Dynasty.

There is no problem with this identity, and the status is neither high nor low.

And it makes sense too.

Now Ying Zheng is already twenty years old, and he has several concubines, several of whom are of noble birth, and quite a few children. Logically speaking, for the sake of stability in the court, he should have appointed a queen and a crown prince long ago.

But that doesn't mean this memorial is selfless.

The selfishness is too obvious.

It was obvious that the coalition had just ended not long ago. In their view, there was no hope for either Chu or Zhao at the moment, so the most suitable identity was naturally the Qin woman.

Especially since Jiang Zhi had just given birth to a son, this was perfect.

The queen was enthroned and the crown prince was appointed.

This is what Ying Zheng hesitated about.

Logically speaking, it is indeed appropriate to make Qin's daughter the heir, and so is Feng's daughter.

The Feng family has been loyal to Qin for generations. Although they have considerable influence in the court, they are not all-powerful. Even if Jiang Zhi is made queen, there is no need to worry about the threat of foreign relatives.

But if we look at it from a long-term perspective, Ying Xin is more suitable.

Zhong was originally the largest of the Three Jins, and among the Three Jins, Zhao is now the strongest. Wei does not have suitable personnel, Wei Xianxian's status is not good, and Han is too small, so there is only Zhao.

There are two main benefits of Li Yingxin.

First, it can greatly ease the hatred with Zhao State, weaken Zhao State's resistance, and be more conducive to future rule.

Secondly, when the world is unified in the future and the new empire is in its infancy, the ruler of the country will be the daughters of the six kingdoms, not the daughters of Qin, but the daughters of the Central Plains. This will be more conducive to the integration of the seven kingdoms.

If the crown prince is a Qin woman and has pure Qin blood, what will the other citizens think in the future?
Establishing the Qin girl would naturally further stabilize their base, and it was also something that the public office and the Qin people would like to see.

However, it would lose the hearts of the scholars of the six countries, and his own base was already stable enough, as he didn't need a Qin woman.

After unification, there will no longer be any distinction between Qin people, Chu people, Wei people, etc., but regional differences and factional differences will always exist.

When Qin swallowed up the six kingdoms, the people of the six kingdoms were already uneasy, and the people of Qin were inevitably a little arrogant.

If a Qin woman is enthroned, the next generation of monarch will be an emperor with pure Qin blood.

It will inevitably be more biased towards the Qin people, which is definitely not conducive to the mutual integration of the seven countries.
