The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 720 Dragon Blood
The important officials who have a clear vision know that not only they themselves cannot interfere, but also their descendants cannot be allowed to interfere.

If we are gone, how will our descendants have any face in front of Your Majesty?
If I don't get involved properly, all the wealth and honor that I worked so hard to gain for them will be lost in one day.

There were also many ministers who were not in a hurry to get their younger sons married, and they were all eyeing on marrying a princess home.

Your Majesty has many children, and you should not interfere in the fight for the throne.

But marrying a princess would make you more closely related to the royal family, which is fine! Being more closely related to the royal family is a good thing anyway.

Of course, you also have to be careful not to let the princess's brothers get involved in the fight for the throne, or you might end up dragging your family into it, which would be troublesome.

Ying Zheng now summoned his nine sons.

Fusu, Zidu and Tianming, they are the oldest and are sixteen this year.

Yude, Qianzhong, Zhiji, Wujiu, Dayou and Yunxu, they are one year younger and are fifteen this year.

They lined up in order. Although they were still young, they all stood tall and straight, like pine and bamboo, revealing the youthful vigor.

The sixth and seventh brothers, Zhiji and Wujiu, have Qiang blood. Needless to say, they have no hope of becoming emperor.

The fifth child is Qianzhong, and his mother is Chunhua. Ultimately, he suffers from his mother's low status. It cannot be said that there is no hope in the fight, but it can be said that there is basically no hope.

They are aware of these things in their hearts.

Yude's mother is Jiang Zhi, a noblewoman of the Feng family, a long-established aristocratic family of the Qin Dynasty. Wei Zhuang has always had a close relationship with the Feng family, both of which are traditional forces of the Qin Dynasty, and are long-established clans in Guanzhong, as well as the Wang family.

However, the Wang family is now only minding their own business and not interfering in other matters. After all, the old fox Wang Jian is not dead yet, and he, the head of the family, knows the importance of things. As for the future, that’s another matter.

Dayou is of the same blood as elder sister Nian Duan. Given elder sister’s current reputation, this child will receive a huge bonus.

Yun Xu is Zi Nu's child, and Zi Nu is Wei Liao's only goddaughter. This relationship is binding.

This also means that the two from Zongheng should either not get involved, or if they do they can only support Yun Xu, unless they also marry the princess. But even if they marry another princess, it will be difficult for them to be caught in the middle.

Wei Liao led Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang into the court and they rose to prominence. He was also their uncle-master, so there was no way the two of them could clear up this relationship, and it was impossible for them to do so.

If a person doesn't even care about such a favor, no one would dare to employ him, and no one would make friends with him.

It's not just the two of them, there's also Wei Liao's apprentice Wang Ao, who has no choice.

He has no choice but to stay out of it, or he has to get involved.

Wei Liao had been the top military official of the Qin Dynasty for more than ten years. It was no exaggeration to say that he had many students and former officials all over the world. Most of them were people in the military, and Wei Liao had connections all over the world.

This makes Yun Xu seem to have the qualifications and strength to compete.

As for Fusu, there is no need to say more, the Chu clan has him nailed down.

As for Zi Du, there is no need to say much about the Zhao family. Moreover, as the legitimate son, he has the natural legal right of inheritance. It's a pity that his performance makes many people dare not go all in on him.

Tianming seems to be not closely involved, but in fact, he has a close relationship with Lu Buwei.

Lü Buwei was from Wei, Zhong Cang was also from Wei, and Meng Ao was from Qi.

Lu Buwei always valued and respected Gongsun Li. She was born at dawn that year, and it happened to be dawn when night ended. Lu Buwei loved watching the celestial phenomena the most, and he felt on the spot that this child must be extraordinary.

If you don’t believe it, just look at the scene of His Majesty’s birth.

I, Lu Buwei, am very accurate in observing the celestial phenomena!
Your Majesty's meeting with Li Ji was purely a matter of chance. It was all fate.

When Tianming grew up, his personality and character became even more pleasing. Lu Buwei liked people like Tianming who were bold, confident, enthusiastic, cheerful and strong-willed.

But this time Lu Buwei didn't dare to go all in.

Things are different now.

Although he is close to Tianming, he has never expressed his support for him. This old fox will never allow himself to be tied to anyone, except His Majesty!

As for Zhong Cang, although he and Lu Buwei have always been at odds, they have the same views on Tianming.

Zhong Cang was also very pleased with Tianming's character. This child had so many advantages that were exactly the same as his father.

He has a tough temperament, is bold and careful, confident and decisive, values ​​benevolence but is not pedantic, is not afraid of hardship and can endure loneliness.

With this temperament, he was born to do great things.

He is also a loyal and righteous person, which is very likable.

As the saying goes: A son who is not like his father will find it difficult to inherit his father’s great undertaking.

But on the other hand, if the son resembles his father, then the family business will be
Of course, they had no choice. After all, the eldest prince didn't need to do that, and the second prince...
As for the Meng family, they have always been loyal to His Majesty and will absolutely obey whoever is His Majesty.

But that doesn’t mean it has nothing to do with the harem.

Although they were born in Qi, they had been away from Qi for too long. During their time in Qin, they did not take root too deeply, which put them in a very awkward situation.

When Meng Wu occasionally taught the princes military strategies, he and Tian Ming caught each other's eyes.

There is no way. Tianming's martial arts skills, military strategies, and generous and righteous character in dealing with people make it easy for him to gain friendship.

Especially to gain the favor of generals like Meng Wu.

The eldest prince was too upright, the second prince was too dull, and the fourth prince was too smart. But, sometimes you can't be too smart in a war, especially you can't lose your temper.

Compared to this, the third prince is too dazzling in Meng Wu's eyes.

People have feelings when they get along with each other, and these feelings are the basis of any relationship.

Especially politics, politics is all about human relationships.

Or in other words, the whole society is based on human relationships.

Of course, Meng Wu couldn't openly support it, but he had a tendency in his heart, which was often very subtle.

Because it has already begun.

Ying Zheng looked at his sons, all of whom were excellent young men, and felt very proud: They are indeed my offspring! Look, even though their mothers were Hu women, they are all my offspring, and they are all strong and handsome.

Well, to be honest, the women presented by the Qiang people were all the best.

There is no need to say much about Fusu. He has an upright figure, handsome face, a pair of phoenix eyes and extraordinary appearance. He wears a dark purple python robe and looks quite dignified at a young age.

As for Zidu, this kid is a little taller than Fusu, but he looks a little dull and doesn't have a strong aura.

But this young man is so handsome!

He is simply a man of outstanding appearance, handsome and graceful, extremely beautiful, even better than his teacher. In terms of appearance alone, Ying Zheng would rank him number one.

He ranks first among all the men I have ever met!

This is the way this child looks, I like him just by looking at him.

Ying Zheng himself admitted that he was not as handsome as his second son.

None of the children were ugly, but whenever Zi Du stood there, he would be the most conspicuous. Many palace maids were fascinated by Zi Du, and some even went out of their way to create chance encounters to spy on him.

What's with throwing fruit into the car? It's no problem for this kid to go out on the street. He can attract both boys and girls!

Although this child looks dull, he is really very handsome.

As for the child Tianming, he was also very handsome, sunny and cheerful, full of confidence. He had a small golden eagle crown on his head, sword-like eyebrows slanted, eyes firm, and he was wearing a black python robe and a golden ribbon around his waist.

What a noble and heroic young man.

It is completely different from the appearance of the original world. After all, the seeds are different, and the living environment is also different.

Having been living in luxury since childhood, growing up with confidence under the love of his parents, and receiving the best education, naturally everything is different.

This is the third prince of the Great Qin Shi Huangdi! His mother is the Imperial Concubine.

Ying Zheng looked at Yu De again. The child had a tall and straight figure, like a poplar, a handsome face, bright eyes, and a confident smile on his lips. His posture was upright and confident. Ying Zheng was very satisfied looking at him.

As for Dayou, this child has a majestic figure, a regular face, a square face and big ears, a very official look, and a tough, yet somewhat gentle look in his eyes. This child has been strictly disciplined by his elder sister since he was young, and his character is the most gentle and loving, and his ambition is the smallest.

Yun Xu is tall and handsome, with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes. He is always gentle and approachable to others. He loves to laugh the most and always has a smile on his face no matter big or small.

Zi Nu was very dissatisfied with this. This child did not have the dignity and bearing of his father at all.

However, Yun Xu's grades have always been among the best, and he is truly multi-talented.

In this respect, he inherited the talents of Ying Zheng and his mother. He was proficient in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, swordsmanship, archery, horsemanship, carriage handling, perfume making and tea brewing, disguise and pharmacology, poison making and use, internal strategies, arithmetic, the five elements, etc.

This child has been extremely gifted since childhood. No matter what he learns, he can master it at a glance and become an expert at it.

It's a pity that his hobbies are too diverse and take up too much of his attention, and there are too many things that require serious study, so once he has mastered them, he puts them aside and doesn't delve into them any further.

Ying Zheng looked at these children who were so well-behaved and had no aggressive power in front of him, and he felt both satisfied and sad.

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain.

There are so many fierce tigers on the mountain where the fight for the throne is taking place, how can there not be a river of blood?

Besides, there are so many young children.

The outcome of this situation is still uncertain, and no one knows who will have the last laugh?
Ying Zheng glanced at the children and said, "You are all old now. Sooner or later, you will have to shoulder the responsibility of the Qin Empire."

At this point, Ying Zheng smiled softly: "However, there is only one seat for your Majesty, so who will sit on it remains to be seen."

"This is a heavy burden that not everyone can bear."

As Ying Zheng said this, he was also staring at the expressions and actions of the children.

It turned out that they all looked at the nose with their eyes and the heart with their mouths, and they had no expression and no movement.

Ying Zheng was satisfied, but not that satisfied.

Ying Zheng paused, then continued, "Fusu, Zidu, Tianming, the three of you have reached the age to leave the palace and have your own residence."

Ying Zheng looked at his other sons and said, "But it's better to have the first day than to choose a day. You are all not that different from each other. You can all leave the palace and have your own residences. This year won't be a big deal."

The many princes had different thoughts, but they all responded in unison.
