Chapter 28 Meng Yi
"Your Majesty, the matter of the crown prince is too important, and this is not something we can say." The matter of establishing a crown prince is a taboo topic. Even the heavyweights of Ying Liang and other royal family members do not want to be involved. Ying Liang thought about it and then said.
"Yes, as long as you decide the leader, you will be able to do it." The other three clan elders pondered for a moment.
"No." King Zhao of Qin waved his right hand to stop them from talking, saying, "The affairs of the crown prince are certainly state affairs, but also among our royal family. As the elders of the clan, you can also talk about it."
The Qin Dynasty is the Ying family. The heavyweights of the Yingliang tribe, such as Yingliang, also have the right to speak. Listening to their words, this will be of great benefit to the matter of the crown prince.
"Since that's the case, I'll say it." Ying Liang looked at each other with the other three clan elders and reached an agreement. Then he said: "The prince has no fault, but his body is too weak to support state affairs. If the state affairs are handed over to him, it will be a disaster and not a blessing for the Qin Dynasty. I have long wanted to make suggestions to the emperor and should be cautious in the matter of crown prince."
Speaking of this, Ying Liang paused for a moment, glanced at King Zhao of Qin, and saw him nodding slightly, and then said, "It's just that the emperor also has concerns about this matter. He sent the third son to Bashu. This is the emperor giving him a chance. The land of Bashu is dangerous mountains and rivers. Since Sima mistakenly accepted Bashu, the land of Bashu has not only failed to help the Qin Dynasty, but has caused many troubles, which has made the Qin Dynasty feel bad. The emperor sent the third son to Bashu to test his talent. If he can cure Bashu, the dangerous mountains and rivers, what else can't be done? By then, we will be relieved to hand over the Qin Dynasty to him."
"Well." King Zhao of Qin emphasized his head and said, "I think so. The land of Bashu is too dangerous. If the third brother can manage Bashu well, he can manage the Qin Dynasty well. I will feel at ease with him. But the third brother's personality has not changed at all over the years, which has caused me a headache."
Ying Hui’s advantage over Ying Zhu is that he is healthy and has good energy. The problem is that he has a bad temper and irritable temper. If he is not good, he will have to hit someone. If such a person becomes a king, it is not a blessing for Qin, and King Zhao of Qin will have to worry about it.
King Zhao of Qin sent Ying Hui to Bashu, a dangerous place with bad mountains and rivers. In addition to giving Ying Hui a chance, he also had the intention to hone his temper.
"The third son has a too irritable temper and is too angry. This is not the talent of the king." Ying Liang frowned and said, "If it were a comparison, I would still prefer the prince to be the king. The third son took the previous king as an example, and he was strong and powerful. If he was the king, he might be another martial king. This is definitely not a blessing for the Qin Dynasty. Please think twice."
The "Last King" he mentioned refers to King Wu of Qin.
King Wu of Qin is the eldest son of King Huiwen of Qin and the elder brother of King Zhao of Qin. King Wu of Qin is a famous warrior with great strength and is as famous as Meng Ben and Wu of the world. Although this man is a king, he relies on his strength and is extremely powerful and can do everything. For this reason, he once said that he would go to Luoyang to see the Nine Cauldrons. As long as he could see the Nine Cauldrons, it would be worth it even if he died.
Later, he really led the Qin army to Luoyang and saw Jiuding. On a whim, he raised the tripod with someone. He missed the tripod and smashed it down, breaking one of his legs, and it hurt to death.
This incident has always been a pain for the Qin royal family, and it has always been abolished to remind the Qin royal family that those who are kings cannot rely on their strength.
Ying Hui took King Wu of Qin as an example. Those who follow the example should learn from King Wu of Qin. How can this not be worrying?
"That's why I have been hesitating for years." King Zhao of Qin sighed: "The third brother is strong and has extraordinary energy. The prince is peaceful. Although he is not very smart, at least he is not very moral. Sometimes he can see clearly and is better than the third brother. The problem is that these two sons each have their own fatal flaws. If they can be made one of them, the third brother's physique plus the second brother's peace, how great it would be!"
Speaking of this, King Zhao of Qin spread his hands in distress, looking impatient.
As he said, if these two sons "neutralize" and Ying Hui's strong body is given to Ying Zhu, or Ying Zhu's temper is given to Ying Hui, it would be great, and he would no longer have to worry about the matter of the crown prince.
"Now, Yi Ren has returned, I have investigated it for many years and found that my grandson is smart, powerful, ruthless, and profound, and knows how to be sensible. These are indispensable for the king." King Zhao of Qin finally smiled and said, "But he has been away for several years and I don't know much about him. Is he really like this? I have to take a good look at this."
Qin Yiren's performance was very eye-catching. He admired Qin Yiren from the bottom of his heart when he was about King Zhao of Qin. However, the matter of the crown prince was too serious, and he had to be cautious and make a decision after repeated inspections.
"What the emperor said is very reasonable. I mean, there is no need to rush to make a decision in this matter. Let's take a look first. It's best to send Yi Ren out, let him stand alone, and try his best to talk about it." Ying Liang thought for a while and said.
"What the old brother said is very reasonable. But, I want to send Yiren to stand alone, there is no chance at the moment." King Zhao of Qin raised his eyebrows and said, "It would be a good opportunity to fight in Shandong next year. However, this matter is too important and I cannot be appointed as a general, so I must be Bai Qi."
After the Battle of Zhongmu, Shandong lost all the elite troops and were no longer able to compete with Qin. It was a good opportunity for Qin to advance eastward and wipe out the six countries. It would be possible to send Qin Yiren to command troops. The problem is that this is the first time such a good opportunity has occurred in the Warring States Period in a century. If you miss it, what is the regret?
Although King Zhao of Qin wanted to order Qin Yiren to be the general and lead troops to fight, this was too risky and he had to worry about it. Bai Qi was a good general who fought. With such a good general, why take the risk?
"Your Majesty, it's useless to be anxious." Ying Liang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is strong and the spring and autumn are in full swing. There is no need to be anxious for a moment. Perhaps there is a good opportunity."
"That's right." King Zhao of Qin emphasized the key point and said: "The affairs of the crown prince are already very important. I have to think about it again and again. The next generation of the kings of the Qin Dynasty are even more important. It is related to whether the world can be unified and whether the world can be restored to peace. I must be sure to make a decision."
King Zhao of Qin's words are not exaggerated, but facts.
After the Changping War, Qin opened up the road of unification, and the world's general trend was in hand. After the Battle of Zhongmu, the world's general trend was even more beneficial to Qin, and Qin was likely to wipe out the six countries and unify China. Therefore, Qin must have a monarch with great talent and enterprising spirit.
The next generation of monarchs is related to whether Qin can unify China and whether it can end hundreds of years of war. He has to be cautious and cautious!
"I'll invite you here today, there's something else." King Zhao of Qin raised his eyebrows and shook his head, as if he was about to throw such troubles out of his mind, and said, "I'll be young and young, and I'll be over twenty this year, but I haven't won the title. I'll ask my brother to take charge of this matter."
In ancient times, women and men were crowned with crowns, which was a major event in life, and marked adulthood. The ancients attached great importance to it. If they did not crown, even if they lived to the age of thirty or fifty, they would not be considered "adult". Therefore, crowning was essential.
An emperor like Qin Shihuang, who is a magnificent man, cannot rule without a crown. This is a clear proof.
According to Qin law, a man was twenty years old. Qin Yiren was over twenty years old, but because he was in Handan, he had not yet won the championship. If Qin Yiren wanted to do things, he had to win the championship, and it was the top priority. Only by adding the championship can he work in Qin and become an official.
"We have discussed this matter, and it will be auspicious in three days, which is suitable for a crown. We mean that Yiren will win the crown in three days. Do you think it is okay?" Ying Liang smiled and said.
He and the other three clan elders are all old and mature figures, so they don’t understand the truth about King Zhao of Qin. The matter of winning the crown has long been ready.
"In this way, I will feel relieved." King Zhao of Qin praised this move and said with a smile.

In Xia Ji's courtyard, Qin Yiren was holding Xiao Yingzheng and teasing him.
Xiao Yingzheng turned his black eyes and kept smiling at Qin Yiren. Qin Yiren was so happy that he couldn't say anything.
"Young Master, the post sent by the Zongren Mansion said that it would be a crown for you in three days." Meng Zhao quickly stepped in and handed a post to Qin Yiren.
"Get the crown?" Qin Yiren suddenly remembered that he had not won the crown. Strictly speaking, he was not "adult" and could not be considered an adult.
"Haha." Xia Ji was very happy, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed together, and said, "Yiren, you can only be considered a Ding after you have a crown. At that time, you can work in Qin and get a job."
"There are quite a lot of benefits of adding a crown." Qin Yiren smiled slightly and said to Meng Zhao: "Meng Zhao, I know you are so eager to return home and want to reunite with your family. Logically speaking, when I return to Xianyang, I have nothing to do and can let you go home. But I changed my mind again."
"Young Master, don't worry, it's our honor to be able to live and die for the young master. I won't go home." Meng Zhao was loyal to Qin Yiren. As long as Qin Yiren needs it, his life belongs to Qin Yiren, let alone going home.
"It's not that I won't let you go home, but I'm postponing it for a few days." Qin Yiren waved his right hand to stop him and said, "Three days will be the day I will win the championship. What I mean is to invite you, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, and Lu Jujian to participate together."
"Young Master, are you going to let us participate in the grand ceremony of your grand prize?" Meng Zhao's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"You have followed me in Zhao for several years. After suffering all the hardships and difficulties, I have no choice but to repay you. Please participate in the championship ceremony." Qin Yiren admired Meng Zhao very much.
"Thank you Mr. Xie! Thank you Mr. Xie!" Meng Zhao was so happy that tears almost flowed out of her eyes.
The crown was the most important coming-of-age ceremony of the ancients. When the crown was added, you could invite your relatives and friends to participate. Qin Yiren invited Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong and Lu Jujian to participate. This was a great reward for them. This was to treat them as friends, not for the running subordinates. How could Meng Zhao not be excited?
"After you get the crown, you can go home and reunite with your family." Qin Yiren waved his hand and said, "You go and tell Lu Jujian that he will bring his mother to the mansion."
Lu Jujian's mother had been sent to Qin State long ago, and was placed outside the city by Qin State, and was assigned a piece of land. She became a Chinese citizen and lived a good life. However, Lu Jujian was a filial son and could not live without his mother. Taking her to the mansion was the best of both worlds.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie." Meng Zhaohuan left happily.
