Ying Jingyu looked at the pretty girl who was so interested in him, and he already regarded Yue Ximeng as a member of his family.
but...
Jingyu put his hands behind his back and said, "Silly Meng, the more you behave like this, the more I feel sorry for you."
"How can I bear to let you endure such suffering? Stay in the palace and take good care of your father, queen and mother."
Xi Meng was a little reluctant and said: "But..."
Ying Jingyu said in a serious tone: "Ximeng, the Great Qin is still extremely unstable at present, and the six kingdoms of Guandong will enter our Guanzhong in the near future. When the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, are you willing to see my father and I die tragically under the enemy's sword?
?"
"Sir, I..."
"On the day when the armies of the Six Nations are withdrawn, our Daqin can truly usher in peace. If I am distracted by other things, I am afraid that our good days will only be limited to these few days..."
After hearing this, Yue Ximeng's pretty face turned pale as a sheet of fright, and her heart was filled with shock.
At this moment, Yue Ximeng completely understood why Ying Jingyu refused the marriage arranged by King Qin to marry her...
If what he said is true, although the Qin State is now under the control of the Ying family again, the situation is still extremely dangerous.
Thinking of this, Yue Ximeng felt ashamed for her persistence in pestering her just now. For the sake of her own selfishness, she did not care about the safety of her family, country, or the safety of her son...
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was ignorant and stupid, so I started sobbing: "Young master, I know my mistake. I don't dare to pester you anymore, wuwu..."
Ying Jingyu sighed. He had been spinning at high intensity for the past two days with almost no rest. At this time, his head was actually a little swollen.
He rubbed his temples and said, "Ximeng, Master, I don't mean to blame you. I know you are doing it for my own good, so please go down first. I want to go to bed. There are many state affairs to be done tomorrow."
Ximeng looked at Jingyu's slightly tired look and felt distressed. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Master, let me rub it for you. I will leave after you fall asleep."
Jingyu said: "No, if I let you stay here, I'm afraid the young master will have no sleep tonight again, hehe."
"Then Young Master... why don't you let Xi Meng stay here tonight? The slave family will not disturb the Young Master. I have a way to make the Young Master sleep."
Ying Jingyu looked at the other party curiously: "Oh? But not tonight, wait until later. Go down and go to bed early."
"Young Master..." Xi Meng was a little reluctant to give up.
"Go back quickly, otherwise the young master will be angry."
Yue Xi dreamed that there was no hope of staying here, so she didn't dare to persist anymore. She turned around and looked back at Ying Jingyu as she walked to the bed and prepared to lie down.
When he walked out of the palace gate, he looked back with nostalgia. When he confirmed that the other party was getting ready to sleep, he gently closed the door and left the Changle Palace with a complicated mood.
.......
The 20th day of the reign of Ying Ziying, the third emperor of Qin Dynasty
At 6 o'clock in the morning (9-11 o'clock), the Xianyang Palace in Nuoda is decorated with great grandeur.
Today is the time when Ying Ziying, the third king of Qin, summons the world and formally ascends the throne to take charge of Xianyang Palace.
A big red carpet was laid from the east gate to the west gate of Xianyang Palace. A few meters apart on both sides of the palace road stood a palace guard in light armor holding a spear.
The "Civil and Military Officials" arrived at Xianyang Palace early and waited near the "Ziyun Palace" where the third emperor of Qin lived. There were more than a hundred palace guards standing in front of the palace gate, a dozen eunuchs in long robes and high hats, and several more

In addition, among the dozen or so eunuchs standing there, there was a large wooden luxurious movable dragon throne for ten people. It must have been the dragon throne used by King Qin when he ascended the throne.
At this time, hundreds of officials, big and small, were talking about it. Everyone was impressed by Qin III's methods and mentality in the past few days... After taking power, he arrested all the rebellious ministers on the first day, beheaded them in public on the second day, and held the enthronement ceremony on the third day...
.
According to past practice, it would never have been so fast. But everyone knew the current situation of Qin, and only by acting faster could they gain some first-mover advantage before the Kwantung army entered the pass.
It’s just unclear how useful this first-mover advantage is...
When everyone saw Ying Jingyu leading Zhang Chang and Zheng Chan to the officials, hundreds of officials leaned over and said respectfully:
"Meet Mr. Yu! Meet General Zhang!"
Ying Jingyu and Zhang Chang nodded politely in return. Without saying a word, they walked past the crowd and walked to the door of Ziyun Palace to wait.
It was the first time for many officials among the hundreds of officials to see Ying Jingyu and Zhang Chang.
Seeing that the two men did not stay to chat with the officials, the atmosphere of the discussion suddenly became more lively. They asked each other about the background and life stories of the two people...
But after half a stick of incense was passed, hundreds of officials suddenly realized it, and they all secretly looked in the direction of Ying Jingyu with fear on their faces.
It's okay not to look at it, but once you look at it, you will be amazed... Such a young, promising, tall and powerful prince of Qin not only helped the King of Qin regain the royal power, but was also the leader of all the major changes that have taken place in Xianyang City in the past few days...
After everyone understood some of the truth, they vaguely understood that perhaps the person with the most say in Xianyang Palace was not King Qin, but the young master Ying Jingyu...
The more I think about it, the more unbelievable it becomes, and the more I think about it, the more frightened I feel. Because many of these officials have dirty hands, and some of them have paid money or used connections to get involved.
With the ferocity with which he beheaded more than a thousand people in public yesterday, if one of them is not good...
All the officials were sweating coldly. They unconsciously put Ying Jingyu and "Rentu" Bai Qi together, and were frightened... It seems that they will have to restrain themselves from doing things in the future.
If he falls into the hands of Gong Ziyu, I'm afraid even the King of Qin won't be able to save him...
While all the officials were making their own calculations, they saw an eunuch walking out of the Ziyun Palace, standing at the door and saying loudly:
"The auspicious time has arrived! Please come out of the palace and the enthronement ceremony begins!"
"play music!"
As bronze instruments and drums were beaten on both sides of the palace gate, bursts of high-pitched and majestic music spread throughout Xianyang Palace.
I saw all the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground and shouting loudly: "Welcome to the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!"
Ying Jingyu and others who were standing in front of the palace also knelt down on one knee: "Welcome the king!"
As soon as the shouts ended, everyone looked up. They saw from the 'Purple Cloud Palace', surrounded by several eunuchs, a man wearing a black dragon robe and a crown on his head, with a resolute face and a tall figure.
The ring of tattered beard makes the middle-aged noble man look majestic and domineering.
The ministers just took one more look and quickly lowered their heads, as if they were seeing the former First Emperor. They secretly sighed in their hearts that the imperial aura in Ying Ziying was so strong...
Ying Ziying stopped for a moment in front of the palace gate and glanced at Ying Jingyu and others who were kneeling on the ground.
Then he walked down the stone steps with an expressionless face, walked to the huge ten-person dragon boat placed in front of the palace gate, and sat on the dragon boat elegantly.
After sitting on the dragon boat, Ziying sat upright and said seriously: "Set up the Ying family's ancestral temple!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
I saw eight important ministers, including Feng Tuo, walking out from among the ministers. Ying Jingyu and Zhang Chang also stood up and came to the front of Long Chu.
Jingyu and his two men were at the front, eight important ministers were behind, and five people stood on both sides of the dragon, leaning over to prepare to lift Qin Sanshi on the dragon.
This is the practice of the Qin State. Every time the King of Qin ascends the throne, the most senior ministers in the court must personally carry the King of Qin around the Xianyang Palace, and then go to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices.
However, due to the long journey and considering that some important ministers are old, the palace guards or eunuchs around them can temporarily take over for a while during the lifting process. However, at key points, the important ministers must personally go into battle to carry the scaffolding.
After the sacrifice, ten important ministers carried the King of Qin into the Chaoyang Palace, the administrative hall of the Hundred Officials Meeting. After the King of Qin walked through the Chaoyang Palace, he walked up the steps with his royal robe and crown and sat on the throne. The enthronement ceremony of the King of Qin ended.
Then he called all the people that the new King of Qin was born!
After ten important officials of the empire lifted Ying Ziying, music sounded, and thousands of people protected him and followed him.
After all, Ying Jingyu and Zhang Chang were young generals, and there was no replacement for more than an hour from beginning to end. However, after arriving at Chaoyang Palace to complete the ceremony, they only felt sore shoulders and were exhausted.
The rest of the ministers had gone through several rounds of lifting, but their faces were still rosy and they were very tired. It was obvious from a glance that they rarely exercised on weekdays.
At this time, nearly 300 civil servants and generals gathered in the usually empty hall of Chaoyang Palace. In addition to the officials responsible for order in and around Xianyang City,
Among them are the main generals in charge of military affairs inside and outside the city and some commanders.
All the officials uniformed themselves in court uniform, knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the King! Long live the King! Long live the King..."
