The younger brother of the First Emperor

Chapter 54: Are you the one who assassinated my brother?
The five horses finally got what they wanted and were able to run. They were very happy.

Surrounding the royal carriage were more than ten carriages pulled by four horses. Two of them contained the crown prince and the queen, while the others contained the children of the King of Qin who lived in Xianyang.

Chariots followed on both sides, and a large group of cavalry led the way.

The mighty army marched through the main street of Xianyang, attracting many eyes, and marched towards Yongcheng, three hundred miles away.

Inside the king's car.

King Zhu of Qin was scolding his two grandsons, starting with the younger one, Ying Chengjiao.

"Why do you want the private seal? It's to set up a new government.

"Why did you set up a new government? To collect night incense.

"Why do you collect nightshades? It's to increase the fertility of the nightshades, increase the grain harvest, and teach the people.

"Is what I said right?"

Ying Chengjiao raised his head and nodded twice.

He and his brother stood stubbornly in front of the King of Qin, holding their hands flat, trying their best not to glance at the fruits, barbecue, water, and juice on the wooden table...

The attitude is clearly expressed.

Because his grandfather refused to give him a private seal, he just stood there, neither eating nor drinking.

Qin Wangzhu was so angry that he lightly slapped Ying Chengjiao's left hand.

"Then go find Lu Buwei!
“The Lu’s Chamber of Commerce is spread all over the Central Plains and is one of the seven major private chambers of commerce.

“He is a brother, has strong financial resources, and knows a lot about the people. You ask him to collect night incense!

"If he doesn't want to, tell him.

"Qin is not Qi, and does not rely on commerce as its main business. If you dare not listen to me, you can find me. I will seal off all the Lü Chambers of Commerce in Qin and expel them from Qin.

"He has worked hard in Qin for so many years, and his family fortune has been all invested in your father. Will he give up everything for a night fragrance?

“He won’t, he has no choice.

"If I follow your advice and assign you two agricultural officials to obey your orders, can you achieve your goal by doing this?
"Private seal, private seal, you've been seduced by these two words! Where's your cleverness?

"Not everything has to go through the government!"

The seven-year-old boy, who was dazed by the sun, tired and hungry, licked his lips, put down his hands, and walked to the table.

Drink a glass of water first, and gulp it down happily.

Then he picked up the chopsticks, lifted up the rice bowl and started to eat.

"Eat slowly and don't choke. It's all yours."

Qin Wangzhu felt relieved and gave a distressed warning. His gaze shifted to Ying Zheng, who was still standing there, looking a little embarrassed.

"What about you? Don't you want to eat something? Can you still bear it?"

Ying Zheng bowed and said sorry, then with a flushed face, he went to the table and ate and drank with his brother.

The little brat is eating his father to death.

The two boys were barely grown up, but they were so hungry that they never stopped eating.

If Qin Wangzhu hadn't predicted in advance and prepared extra food, it wouldn't have been enough.

The old King Qin looked at his two grandsons and nodded secretly.

When Ying Chengjiao asked him for a private seal, he thought of a solution.

He doesn't say.

He wants to see whether Young Master Jiao is really a spoiled child or not!

Those who achieve great things have great perseverance.

The result surprised him.

In addition to his grandson Ying Chengjiao who was more determined than he had imagined, his other grandson Ying Zheng brought him an unexpected surprise.

"Zheng'er, today is the day for you to recognize your ancestors. Why don't you get on the king's carriage and fool around with Cheng Jiao? What are you thinking?"

Ying Zheng's mouth was full of meat. He chewed it vigorously for a few times and swallowed it. Then he said:
"I didn't even think about it. I just stood there when I saw my brother."

"As stupid as your brother! Two stubborn guys!" Qin Wangzhu cursed, but with a smile on his face, he said: "When encountering a problem, you should think about how to solve it instead of being deadlocked. You should use your brain. If one way doesn't work, think of another way."

Master Chengjiao snorted in dissatisfaction, stuck his chopsticks in his rice bowl, and said:

“How do I know this road is not feasible?
"My mistake was that I didn't know you were so cruel, Grandfather! I'll remember that!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the old King Qin's face, and he laughed. "It's hot, and Grandfather lost his mind, lost his mind.

"For your old age, please don't bear it in mind. I will give you two more officials who study agriculture."

The road keeps going backwards.

It was getting dark and the night was pitch black.

Black turns to white, and the sun rises.

The army marched day and night and finally arrived at Yongcheng.

The two young men, Ying Chengjiao and Ying Zheng, lifted the curtain of the carriage and gazed at the majestic city before them.

They are all here for the first time.

They saw a tall city wall blocking their way like a cliff.

Although the palace walls in Xianyang City are taller and taller, the walls of Yongcheng City are much thicker.

An extremely spacious moat flows around the city wall, and the sound of flowing water is like that of a river, which is something that the walls of the Xianyang palace do not have.

Qin Wangzhu also came out, looking at the Yongcheng city that was getting closer and closer, and was filled with emotion. He introduced it to his two grandsons:
"Yongcheng is the old capital of the Qin State and is of great significance to the Qin people.

"Since Duke De moved the capital here, Yongcheng has been the capital of the Qin State for 294 years, accounting for more than half of the Qin State's time.

"After 19 monarchs, Duke Mu of Xirong became the hegemon here.

"Yongcheng witnessed the unforgettable glorious years of the Qin people and is the foundation and guarantee for the rise of the Qin State.

“Although the capital of our Qin State is now in Xianyang, the ancestral temple has always been located in Yongcheng and has never been moved.

"When you two come of age, come here again..."

The city gates were wide open, and all the officials of Yongcheng came out, waiting for the king to arrive in person. There was a lot of hustle and bustle.

The two brothers were not too impressed by this and withdrew their heads.

Qin ancestral temple.

It covers a very large area of ​​100,000 square meters.

There are many palaces and rooms, and you will feel solemn as soon as you enter.

Sharp soldiers escorted the Qin royal family in and stood guard outside, each with an extremely serious expression.

When Ying Zheng saw this, he felt that it was even more heavily guarded than the one in the Xianyang Palace.

Qin Wangzhu went in first, and the two little ones waited outside.

In the ancestral temple, King Zhu of Qin did not dare to break the ancestral rules and led his favorite grandson in first.

No one dared to speak loudly, as if they were afraid of disturbing the ancestors.

"Is this the eldest son of the Qin State?"

A tall and handsome man came over, stood in front of Ying Zheng, and looked him up.

Ying Zheng didn't know who this person was, but he knew he must be a member of the royal family with a very high status.

The position where this person was standing just now was behind his father.

[My father’s elder brother is my ancestor father, and my father’s younger brother is my uncle. I don’t know who is older between him and my father.]
Ying Zheng was thinking about it and was about to salute and ask whether it was his father-in-law or his uncle who was in person.

Ying Chengjiao held his brother's arm and faced the man, with no respect in his eyes.

My brother is not in Qin, so I don’t know who the man in front of me is.

But he knew it and was very familiar with it.

"Qin Qi, what are you doing here?"

Qin Qi stood up straight and looked down at Ying Chengjiao from his high position.

"Our Qin's child prodigy is still so ignorant of etiquette that he can't even call me father."

Ying Chengjiao shrank his neck and pouted, as if he was about to spit on him.

Qin Qi quickly took two steps back.

Seeing Ying Chengjiao's mocking face, he knew he had been cheated and his face immediately darkened.

But he didn't go forward again because he had really been vomited on.

"You are worthy?" Ying Chengjiao narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, "Are you the one who assassinated my brother?"
