The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 723: Crying Ying Hua

The eldest brother is resolute and tenacious, trusts people and is brave, is kind and generous, and has clear methods in doing things. He is a strong enemy.

The third brother is strong and brave, kind and loving, bold and careful, generous and magnanimous. He is also a first-class hero.

The fourth brother is intelligent and courageous. He is enterprising, confident and decisive, and respectful to others. Although he is quite talented, that is because he has the ability and should not be underestimated.

Eighth brother, fortunately he has no ambition, otherwise even if we brothers joined together we would hardly be able to defeat him.

The eighth brother is kind and benevolent, gifted, and strong. The main reason is that his mother is too special. Even the position of the queen is not enough in front of Aunt Nian Duan. However, the emperor will most likely not give the throne to the eighth brother.

Lao Jiu
Thinking of this, Zi Du's heart tightened. Lao Jiu really should not be underestimated. He smiled with squinting eyes all day long and seemed to enjoy all kinds of fun. He had no idea about power, but in fact no one could see through what he was thinking.

Anyway, Zi Du doesn't believe that he has no ambition. Even if Yun needs her mother, she is not a person without ambition.

What does it mean that you still can't see through a person even though you spend time with him day and night? It means he is hiding something.

Who wouldn't want the vast territory that belongs to our father?
Who wouldn't want to be given that title?
The Supreme and Most High Son of Heaven.

The most noble and supreme emperor.

As for the other younger brothers, many of them are outstanding, and few of them are easy to deal with.

Now it seems that we can lead by a few years, but if we extend the time to another 30 or 40 years, what will this lead mean? Who knows what will happen in the next few decades?

In front of an emperor like my father, the smartest thing to do is to do what you should do.

Winning first does not count as winning, stability is the most important!

I just made my mother feel wronged. She has always been tolerant and caring towards me, but I still made her worry about me.

I hope my mother can understand in the future.

However, my father's imperial style is too impressive! I must study hard!
As for Gongsun Li, she was also having dinner with Tianming. Gongsun Li looked at Tianming with loving eyes while he was eating heartily. Gongsun Li also cooked a table full of dishes for Tianming.

Tianming's eating manners were not rude, but they were quite bold. He chewed the food with big mouthfuls, and his cheeks bulged. But Gongsun Li didn't care. In her eyes, her son was always good.

She also knew everything that happened today, but she didn't say much. She just asked Tianming to be fair, do what he should do, make more friends, be a man with a moral heart, and be reasonable in everything.

Also, remember Ying Zheng’s eight words: seek truth from facts and discuss issues based on facts.

Although Tianming still felt a little reluctant to leave his mother, after all, once he left the palace, it would not be so convenient to see his mother again.

But I was even more eager to try it out. Although Taiji Palace was good, it was still too small.

The boundless sky outside the palace gate is where a real man should soar.

Fly all over the sky, and finally, return to his father and inherit his legacy.

emperor!

emperor!

emperor!

Son of Heaven!

As for Yu De and Yun Xu, Jiang Zhi and Zi Nu were somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts, but they did not dare to say anything about Ying Zheng's decision.

On the contrary, Yu De and Yun Xu remained calm and comforted the two of them.

Yu De knew very well that where to go for training now was important, but not that important.

It must not be a training in just one department. In the future, each department must take turns to train. It doesn't matter now.

Yun Xu still smiled and comforted Zi Nu, his eyebrows curved, and he skillfully brewed a pot of tea for Zi Nu, gently offered the teacup, and just smiled and said: "There is still a long way to go."

Seeing her son's smiling face, relaxed and nonchalant expression, Zi Nu gave her son a reproachful look. Knowing that her son was cunning and thoughtful, she didn't say much.

But I was also thinking about sending a letter to my father.

After taking care of his son, Ying Zheng finally had time to worry about his daughter's affairs.

If this daughter doesn't get married, the royal family will have to pay a fine according to the law!

This is so disgraceful!
Now that my three daughters are all 18 years old, it is not appropriate to delay it any longer.

Moreover, Yan'er and Yue'er have also grown up. It is really necessary to think carefully about how to arrange the future life affairs of these five beloved daughters.

Now that the court system and titles have been determined, it can be said that the power structure of the entire world, big and small, will not change much, except for those who are seeking death.

After these old ministers retired, a few new people took over. The overall impact was not small, but not big. It was a smooth transition.

Looking around, there are only a dozen or so top dignitaries in the empire. If we exclude those who have no marriageable age or are unmarried, there are not many options. We can expand the scope.

Wang Li is one of them, and Meng Yi is also one of them. One of them is twenty years old, and the other is twenty-five, and neither of them has a wife yet. It is too obvious what they are thinking.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s good for the two families to get married.

Li Si's eldest son, Li You, was also a talented man with good conversation and elegant temperament, and was also suitable.

Li Bing's youngest son, Li Yuan, was just 20 years old, full of vigor and vitality, and was also suitable. Lü Buwei's eldest grandson, Lü Bai, was also handsome, and there was also Ran Hong's second son.

Oh, yes, there is also Zhang Liang.

Five years ago, Zhang Kaidi passed away. He came back to attend the funeral, and after observing the mourning period, he returned to Qi and served under Xunzi.

After Lu Buwei stabilized Qi, Xunzi and Duanmu Jingde were appointed as county governors respectively. Zhang Liang trained under Duanmu Jingde for two years and then came to Shendu to join his uncle.

He is currently the fifth-rank official in the Treasury Department of the Ministry of Revenue.

It’s good to have a strong relationship.

He is 25 years old now, and is also a good candidate, with first-class looks and talent.

Oh, by the way, there is also Yan Lu.

Yan Lu and Zhang Liang are of similar age, both good young men. Now he is a junior Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, compiling history with Ran Hong.

but
Ying Zheng frowned and thought about it. Yier was easy to deal with, Jinger was also okay, and Yaner was also okay.

But if it's Hua'er or Yue'er, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to marry each other. It's too deeply involved and the political impact must be considered.

Ying Zheng thought for a long time and decided to ask his daughters for their opinions and make a comprehensive decision.

However, for things like this, it’s best to ask one person at a time. It’s hard for the children to explain if there are too many people around.

Ying Zheng summoned his five daughters and asked them one by one. First he summoned Ying Yi, who rushed into the hall in a hurry, smiled and looked carefree, as if she had no worries in the world.

She stood in front of Ying Zheng carelessly, saying that it didn't matter and that Ying Zheng would make the decision on everything.

Ying Zheng was very angry. It had been almost two years, and he asked her to pay attention to her lifelong affairs, but she still didn't pay attention to it every day.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked her to go out first. His eldest daughter was too much of a headache.

Ying Yi stuck out her tongue playfully, smiled, and walked out of the palace leisurely.

This gave Ying Zheng even more headaches. She was such a grown-up girl, but she was still acting like a child.

Then he summoned Ying Hua.

When Ying Hua entered the hall, he looked melancholy, with his brows slightly frowned, and he even lacked the energy to salute.

Ying Zheng sighed inwardly. This child had a very indifferent personality. She usually studied and practiced martial arts by herself. She seldom went out and did not like crowds. Only with Ying Yi and Ying Jing could the three sisters play together.

Even a princess needs to heal her childhood.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked Ying Hua to come to his side.

Before I knew it, my daughter is already over 7 feet 5 inches tall. When she stands next to me or sits with me or talks to me face to face, she has to slightly tilt her head back.

Ying Zheng asked gently, "Hua'er, father has given you more than a year. How is it going? Do you have any good boys in mind?"

When Ying Hua heard this, his eyes instantly turned red, his nose felt sore, and crystal tears burst out.

She knelt directly at Ying Zheng's knees, pulled Ying Zheng's wide sleeves with her little hands, looked up at Ying Zheng with her little head, and said with tears in her eyes: "Father, I don't want to get married. I just want to be with you forever."

Seeing his daughter crying, Ying Zheng felt so distressed. He knew that his daughter was very strong and rarely cried, but at this moment, she couldn't stop crying, which made Ying Zheng feel so distressed that he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Ying Hua's tears.

While wiping, Ying Zheng coaxed her softly, "Alright, alright, Father is just asking. If Hua'er is not in a hurry, then wait a little longer."

While coaxing her, he teased her with a smile: "Father will not urge you anymore, dear, don't cry, it's just a small fine, father can still afford it, even if you raise her as an old maid, father can still afford it."

Ying Hua burst into laughter, but the remaining tears were still rolling in her eyes, as if they were about to fall at any time.

She gently shook Ying Zheng's arm while scolding him, and said coquettishly, "Father~"

"Father, do you think you dislike me?"

Ying Zheng sighed and laughed, rubbing his precious daughter's head, and said helplessly: "Nonsense, Hua'er is your father's beloved baby, and I will never dislike her."

"It's just that when a boy grows up, he should get married, and when a girl grows up, she should get married. How can your father not give more consideration to such a good princess like my Hua'er?"

Ying Hua was rubbed on the head by Ying Zheng, looking very pleased. Hearing what Ying Zheng said, he lost his usual calmness and said hurriedly, "Father, I am satisfied just by being with you and your mother."

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly and smiled, "Nonsense, when your mother was your age, you could almost walk."

"Girls should have true love, someone to accompany them till old age, to be their wife, and to have children for their lover. Only then can their life be complete."

Ying Zheng teased again, "Why? Do you still want to stay single for the rest of your life? Stay with your father and mother forever? When your sisters have children and grandchildren, then you will know the pain of loneliness."

Ying Hua knelt on the ground, threw herself into Ying Zheng's arms, buried her head deeply, shook her head vigorously, and cried, "No, father, I don't want to get married. I don't want to."

Ying Zheng sighed softly and rubbed Ying Hua's little head gently: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, and Father won't say anything more either."

"Be good, it's all up to you, Hua'er. Everything is up to you. Don't cry, be good."
