Chapter 27;
Bold proposal
My heart is gloomy and full of melancholy, and chanting alone only adds to my sorrow.
The sad Qiu Feng is so moved, why return to the extreme ups and downs.
——Thoughts from "Chu Ci"
Yingsi came to Miyue's palace and stayed for a long time. She greeted him with smiles and no trace of sadness or concern. She didn't say a word about the affairs of Chu State.
Ying Si took the initiative to mention to Mi Yue that the Qin army swept across the Three Kingdoms and won every victory.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty." Mi Yue suddenly leaned closer to Ying Si, her flattering expression a bit unnatural.
Ying Si was unhappy and said coldly, "I changed your name to Mi Yue. Has your temperament changed as well?"
"No, your Majesty is overthinking." As soon as Mi Yue finished speaking, Ying Si got up and left angrily.
The servant next to her asked Mi Yue, "Madam, why don't you tell me about your sufferings and tell me about the affairs of Chu State."
Ying Si slapped the table and stood up, saying angrily: "Xiangbang, are you crazy? The city that you worked so hard to build is returned to you. I hope you have a problem with your ears and heard it wrong."
Ying Ji winked at Zhang Yi from the side and signaled Zhang Yi to speak calmly and not to make the emperor unhappy.
"No, madam, you are overthinking it. Your Majesty loves you so much." said the maid next to her.
Ying Si was sulky and summoned Zhang Yi and Ying Ji. Zhang Yi saw that the mood on Qin Jun's face was not right. He also thought that the envoys of Chu and Wei came to Beijing and heard that they had contact with the harem, and he probably guessed why Qin Jun was angry.
"The Prime Minister's words are reasonable. I should have been crowned king long ago. Tomorrow morning, the ministers will discuss this matter." Ying Si said happily.
Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please listen carefully to what I have to say. Occupying land is not the purpose of Qin State. The most important thing for Qin State now is to show its cards to the world, and it is time for Qin State to become king. In terms of strength, it has already been achieved, but
The other countries cannot see Qin claiming the title of king. If Qin wants to go east, it must first claim the title of king, which is more justified. In exchange for occupying the land of the three countries, let them support Qin and claim the title of king as a bargaining chip. The land we return can be used for war at any time.
Take it back."
So Zhang Yi boldly proposed to return the land occupied this time to Wei, Chu, and South Korea.
"I heard that the princess of Wei was ignored by the emperor because she interfered in state affairs and helped her mother country. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the harem, you must not violate taboos. There are many pairs of eyes staring at me. Therefore, at the critical moment, you cannot take risks, let alone be arrogant.
"Mi Yue's words left the maid speechless. Her insights were truly unmatched by anyone in the harem.
"If you say that, it means that I am meddling in state affairs. Your Majesty must have made your own decision in your mind and deliberately tested me." Mi Yue analyzed.
Ying Ji next to him was startled and hurriedly interceded with Zhang Yi: "Xiangbang must have said the wrong thing. Please calm down."
Zhang Yi's words shocked everyone, stirring Yingsi's heart and making his blood boil. Yingsi had long wanted to become the king, but he couldn't find the right time. He even forgot about important things during the war.
"Xiangbang is really a great talent. The matter of becoming king is the key to Qin. I was so scared that I broke into a sweat just now, for fear that you would anger your Majesty." Yingji sighed with emotion.
"The general is afraid that I, Zhang Yi, will offend you. How could I say stupid things? Please rest assured, sir and general. Zhang Yi's purpose in coming to Qin is to realize what he has learned in his life and help Qin become rich and powerful." Zhang Yi said.
Ying Si and Ying Ji both laughed, especially Ying Si, as if he had never been angry just now.
At the end, Zhang Yi deliberately asked Ying Si: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, who made you unhappy and summoned me angrily?"
