The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 698 Prepare to attack Chu!

Ying Hua nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation appeared on his face, and he lightly nodded his head and praised: "At this age, if you start from scratch and become the Agricultural Supervisor, you are really a hero."

When Ying Jing heard this, her smile instantly became even brighter. She first responded cheerfully, "That's right."

Then she seemed a little embarrassed, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she said shyly: "Well, it's not that good, just average. He was just promoted last year." As she spoke, she unconsciously twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers, showing her girlish cuteness.

Ying Yi looked at his third sister's appearance, sighed and rolled his eyes, then leaned lazily to the side, leaning back slightly, looking very casual.

Ying Hua nodded and said nothing more.

At this moment, Ying Yi was thinking in his heart that if Aunt Xianxian knew about this, she would probably be so angry that she would faint.

I really don’t know what my aunt, who is always gentle and as delicate as the spring breeze, would look like if she got angry?
Ying Yi thought of her own mother who was equally gentle and kind, and shuddered with fear.

My mother usually doesn't get angry, but when she does, it can be a little scary.

Ying Jing finally explained her situation clearly, and immediately started to fight back, asking: "Big sister, second sister, you all know my situation, what about you? You haven't answered me yet, what do you expect your husband to be like in the future?"

"We have been communicating in secret, so we are not afraid of outsiders knowing. I have said it all, and you are not allowed to give me a perfunctory answer. You must tell me."

Ying Yi lazily lay on the soft couch in the car, his body as soft as if he had no bones, his eyes half-closed, and he said indifferently: "I don't know yet, and I'm not in a hurry. Maybe, perhaps, I should be like father. But it doesn't matter whether I'm a hero or not, as long as I treat myself like father treats mother."

"Um, and don't be as philandering as your father. It doesn't matter if you have a few concubines, but you can't have too many."

Ying Jing curled her lips and said, "Everyone is talking nonsense again. How can I look down on those weak and incompetent people? And since ancient times, how can heroes and men only have one woman? How can a man who only has one woman be capable?"

"Didn't my father say that? Anyone with great power must have great desires. Anyway, I don't care. As long as I am the legal wife, it's fine. Having a few more playthings is not worth mentioning."

"Anyway, my future husband must be a dragon among men. I would rather die than marry those petty, weak and incompetent people."

Ying Yi gave Ying Jing a lazily look. His eyes were light but also contained a bit of indulgence. He did not object to what Ying Jing said.

They grew up with Ying Zheng, and were princesses of a great country in the deep palace. They had seen too many things. Any man with a little ability would only have one woman unless he couldn't do it. Especially their father, who was surrounded by many women and had almost no taboos.

They don't care how many concubines their future husbands have. With their status, they will definitely be the principal wife when they marry, and no one will dare to bully them. As long as their husbands are capable, it doesn't matter if they raise a few canaries.

However, Ying Yi still lazily complained: "Why can women only marry one man at a time, but men can have so many women at the same time?"

Ying Jing replied: "Because women's hearts are small, so small that they can only accommodate one person. Men's hearts are big, so big that they can accommodate the whole world, and naturally they can accommodate more women."

After that, she giggled again, her eyes full of mischief: "If you want, it doesn't matter if you keep some concubines after marriage."

Ying Yi rolled her eyes at Ying Jing and said angrily, "You are just talking nonsense! If you want to raise the child yourself, then you can do it. What else can that little official say?"

Ying Jing waved her hands vigorously, made a soft sound, and said with a bit of embarrassment on her face: "I can't do this."

Ying Jing looked at the sky outside the window, her pupils bright and deep, and said softly: "You have to be focused when you love someone."

Then he looked at Ying Hua who had been quiet the whole time and asked, "Second sister, you haven't said anything yet."

Ying Hua's originally calm expression was slightly startled, and then he indifferently turned his gaze away and said softly: "I, I also think that it would be good to be like father." After saying this, Ying Hua stopped talking and slowly turned his gaze to the outside of the car window.

The sun was about to set completely, and the infinite beauty of the red sunset was like a giant piece of silk on fire, half of which was covered by the red glow. Ying Hua watched with melancholy eyes, and the sunset was reflected in her big eyes as clear as autumn water, and shattered into peony petals all over the sky, which was so beautiful that it broke people's hearts.

Ying Jing looked at her second sister, her pupils trembled unconsciously, and she said nothing more. The three of them snuggled together.

I don’t know how many times the three of them will be able to snuggle together like this, inseparable.

On Ying Zheng's side, Ying Zheng didn't know about Ying Jing's problem. As the country grew bigger and bigger, he was busy with government affairs all day long. As the children grew up, he did neglect to care for them.

In the next few days, Ying Zheng talked to Nian Duan, Mi Yun, Wei Xianxian and others about the children, asking them to pay attention to the children's life-long affairs. He also sternly warned Mi Yun not to force Ying Hua and let Ying Hua decide everything.

Because the tone was a bit harsh, Mi Yun felt very aggrieved.

After all, that child is her own flesh and blood. Although there is the desire for an arranged marriage, she also truly wants to find a good home for her daughter.

The children of powerful families are always better than those from humble backgrounds.

It's just that I have more choices. I will never force my daughter to marry someone I don't like, even if he is not outstanding!

The more power and wealth a person has in this world, the more they understand that the most important things in this world are power and wealth.

Only those who have never had it can be dismissive and give up easily.

Because they have never felt that wonderful weight.

Ying Zheng made Mi Yun lose her temper, which was rare. Ying Zheng's harsh tone and distrustful attitude made Mi Yun's eyes red and she almost cried. She felt so wronged that Ying Zheng coaxed her for a long time before she burst into laughter. In addition, Ying Zheng also told Queen Ying Xin that as the children's mother, it was her responsibility to worry about the children's lifelong affairs.

He had no idea that the cabbages he had worked so hard to grow for sixteen years were about to be eaten by others.

He devoured the red dragon's dragon energy, lost a daughter in exchange for its luck, and completely absorbed its destiny into the Qin Dynasty. Whether this deal was a loss or not depended on Ying Zheng himself.

I just don’t know how Ying Zheng will react when he finds out about this.

The news that the three princesses were preparing to choose their husbands spread like wildfire throughout Xianyang and quickly spread to the whole world.

Young talents from all over the world also rushed to Xianyang. If they were lucky enough to be favored by the princess, they could work less for at least 30 years!
If you are lucky enough to marry the eldest princess, you may have to work less for three lifetimes!

Besides, I heard that the three princesses are all talented and virtuous, so this is not a loss at all!

However, Ying Zheng had no time to take care of these things for the time being, as he was preparing to take action against the State of Chu.

It's time.

In this way, the nineteen years of King Zheng of Qin passed quietly in the busyness and the passage of time.

The twenty years of King Zheng of Qin slowly arrived like a rising sun.

Great Qin, prepare to destroy Chu!
The title of King of Qin has been used for too long, it’s time to upgrade!

The world, which has been peaceful for four years, is finally becoming restless.

In the twentieth year of the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi, in the month of Zou, a grand court meeting was held in the Xianyang Palace.

There was a heavy snow two days ago, and the sky and earth are still bleak.

The floor heating in Jianzhang Hall of Zhangtai Palace is now warm, and it is very cozy inside the hall. Civil and military officials, as well as many nobles and important ministers, are sitting in ranks and in order.

The candlelight in the hall flickered, shining on their faces. Everyone's face was light and dark, but the common feature was that their faces were as gloomy as water and they stood upright like an abyss.

As bells and drums rang, Ying Zheng stepped slowly and leisurely onto the throne in the center of the hall and sat down calmly.

Following three whip sounds, all the ministers stood up and paid homage.

Their voices were in unison and resounding: "Greetings, Great King. May the King be blessed with good health and good fortune."

"Stand up." Ying Zheng said these two words calmly.

His expression was calm, like the surface of a tranquil lake. Over the past twenty years, he had become the embodiment of power and was accustomed to having everything.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the ministers stood up and sat down in unison.

Ying Zheng asked leisurely, "My Lords, what do you want to discuss today?"

Just as Lu Buwei was about to stand up and reply, he heard Zhong Cang's loud voice.

"Replying to the king, I, Zhongcang, have a report."

"Please speak, Left Prime Minister." Ying Zheng said calmly.

Zhong Cang bowed and said loudly: "My king, since you have followed the will of heaven and pacified the various countries, the world is peaceful today and the people enjoy peace and tranquility, all thanks to your virtue."

"However, outside of the Great Qin, there is still a corner where millions of people are suffering from dire straits, and they all look forward to the king's glory and rain day and night. The king is responsible for unifying the world and stabilizing the people. I ask the king to send troops to save the people from the dire straits and rescue the people from the danger, so that there will be no more disputes in the world and we can enjoy eternal peace." Zhong Cang's words were quite righteous and his tone was even more passionate.

When Lu Buwei heard this, he was furious. This old man wanted to steal the credit from him again.

Is it your turn to say this?

It's no wonder that Lu Buwei was angry. As the saying goes, hold small meetings for big matters, big meetings for small matters, and hold court meetings only after big matters are decided.

The matter of attacking Chu was discussed by Ying Zheng and several cabinet ministers yesterday and was brought up today just for the formalities. Lu Buwei was already prepared, but he never expected that Zhong Cang would take the lead.

Lu Buwei cursed in his heart: Old man, do you know who is the most powerful among your ministers?

Zhong Cang felt Lu Buwei's cold gaze very clearly, and then pretended not to know anything.

The more unhappy Lu Buwei was, the more Zhong Cang felt like drinking a glass of iced fruit juice in the dog days of summer, which was so wonderful.
