Chapter 156: Seeing Lin Daiyu from a distance, hearing Lu Zhishen up close, your external brain is online!
The battlefield has not yet been cleaned up, and Xiong Qi is still on the way back for reinforcements. The Queen Mother Huayang and Ying Zheng have already begun to make their own moves.
But Ying Chengyu couldn’t understand many of their operations at all.
Why does Xiong Xia strive to become a ye in Ping Tiao?
No one is willing to hold an official position like Yezhao!
Why is the position of guard lieutenant vacant but no one is taking it?
That was the power of Jiu Qing, and he also controlled the guards at the palace gates, which played a vital role in this battle!
In Xianyang at the moment, there is quite a sense of confusion, as if the wolves have lowered their bodies and are sneaking in all directions, ready to hunt, but Ying Chengyu, the husky, is still standing there in confusion, watching his companions flick their tails!
This feels very bad!
Fortunately, the external brain has initiated a reconnection invitation!
"Mother concubine!"
After four months, Ying Chengyu finally called out the long-lost title.
Looking at the approaching convoy, Ying Chengyu rode up to meet it. He jumped off the horse happily when he was still more than ten feet away from the convoy.
The curtain of the second carriage opened, and Mrs. Han shouted helplessly and dotingly: "Xiao'er, slow down!"
Ying Chengqiao sped up a bit more. He ran to Mrs. Han at high speed, cupped her hands and shouted: "Greetings, my concubine!"
Mrs. Han picked up the hem of her skirt and stepped out of the carriage, grabbing Ying Chengyu's arms: "I heard that you led the army to the battle again?"
Remembering the promise she made after returning from destroying Han, Ying Chengyu's face Lu Santan: "The situation forces us to do something!"
"Mother, concubine, at that time, it was the safest for me to lead the army out of Qinian Palace."
" Even if Brother Wang stays in Qinian Palace, he is actually the most dangerous one."
Mrs. Han glared at Ying Chengyu: "You are right, that's what you said before."< br>
But Mrs. Han did not criticize too much. She just looked up and down at Ying Chengyu worriedly: "Have you been injured?"
Ying Chengyu opened his arms and turned around in a circle: "Concubine, please be at ease. The child is fine."
Mrs. Han was relieved and warned seriously: "This time is excusable, don't do this next time!"
Ying Chengyun was very busy! He promised, and immediately changed the subject: "Did the mother-in-law have fun in Xinzheng?"
"Why don't you stay in Xinzheng for a while longer?"
Mrs. Han's homesickness was not as deep as that of the Queen Mother Huayang.
But she is homesick after all.
This may be Mrs. Han's last chance to return to Xinzheng. Ying Chengyu sincerely hopes that Mrs. Han can stay in Xinzheng for a longer period of time to alleviate her homesickness.
Mrs. Han did not answer but asked: "Can you clearly see the changes in Xianyang City?"
"Do you have a final decision in your mind about what to do next?"
Ying Chengyu was embarrassed, and then said confidently: "No!"
The accompanying maids couldn't help but want to laugh, but Ying Chengyu didn't feel embarrassed at all.
His shortcomings in political struggle are no longer the same.
It would be really embarrassing to pretend to understand when you don’t know, and you might even lose your life!
Mrs. Han helplessly tapped Ying Chengyu’s forehead with her finger: “You!”
"If you are like this, how can I have fun in Xinzheng with peace of mind?"
"My mother has found some great talents for you this time, so please go back home first."
>Neither of them mentioned the possibility that Zhang Rang and other disciples would come back first to assist Ying Chengxuan, while Mrs. Han continued to play in Xinzheng herself.
Because both of them knew very well that
Zhang Rang and others were not loyal to Ying Chengyu, and they were willing to remonstrate solely for the sake of Mrs. Han.
And Zhang Rang and others will really work wholeheartedly for Ying Chengyu, okay?
I can’t say it’s not necessarily possible, I can only say it’s impossible!
Although Mrs. Han's political wisdom cannot compete with Zhang Rang and others.
However, Mrs. Han's high political intelligence and palace intuition allowed her to detect something amiss, and she used this to protect Ying Chengyu.
If Mrs. Han was not watching, neither of them could be sure whether these hangers-on would use words to form a set of logical closed loops that seemed to be beneficial to Ying Chengyu, allowing Ying Chengyu to fall into the trap. achieve their own goals!
Ying Chengqiao happily thanked: "Thank you, concubine!"
Soon, he loudly shouted: "Go back home!"
The mile-long convoy drove into Chang'an Township, and according to each The car will drive to Chang'an Junfu or Chang'an Palace respectively.
Not in the mood to make arrangements, Mrs. Han took Ying Chengyu directly to Zhang Rang's guest house.
“Put these here, be careful not to bump them!”
"Cough cough cough~"
"The room is very dusty, you should go outside to play first."
Entering the living room area, Ying Chengyu heard a series of shouts in his ears. and crashing sounds.
It is the diners who have returned from a long journey and the diners who have just been taken under Mrs. Han's command and are settling in.
At Zhang Rang's door, there was a figure who was about ten years old, with a delicate appearance, a sickly body, fair skin, and a soft figure, standing alone.
"Whose girl is this?" Ying Chengyu asked in a deep voice: "Why is there no adult around? What should I do if I slip or fall into the water!"
There will naturally be nothing in Chang'an Jun's Mansion. Danger.
However, Chang'an Junfu was built close to the Weishui River. There are many man-made rivers in the mansion that are drawn from the Weishui River. It is not safe enough for children to run around alone.
"Ahem~" The child coughed twice more due to the ash floating in the yard, then raised his little face, bowed his hands, and said in a slightly hoarse and rough voice: "This Your Majesty, this junior is a man.”
Ying Chengyu:! ! !
See Lin Daiyu from a distance, and hear Lu Zhishen up close?
But Ying Chengyu also knew how presumptuous it was to misunderstand a person's gender in this era, so he quickly returned the favor: "I was the one who was rude, please forgive me for this young man!"
The child looked surprised: "It's Mr. Chang'an who is in front of you!"
Hearing the sound outside the hospital, another young man ran out.
As soon as he saw Ying Chengyu, the young man subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword!
Mrs. Han shouted in a deep voice: "Zhang Zikang!"
Hearing Mrs. Han's scolding, the young man quickly let go of the hilt of his sword and bowed his hands in a salute: "So Han Xiangkai's eldest grandson, so Han Xiangyi's eldest son, Zhang Sheng wins Zhang Zikang , pay homage to Lord Chang'an."
Ying Chengqiao smiled and asked: "Looking at Zhang Zikang's attitude, do you think you and I have met on the battlefield?"
Zhang Sheng's voice was bitter. : "When the Lord of Chang'an attacked Han, he humbled himself to listen to orders under my father's tent, and saw Lord Chang'an from a distance on the city wall."
"After the war was unfavorable, I humbled myself and led the family to escape."
"After the princess returned to Xinzheng, the father-in-law wrote to me. We will return quickly and are willing to follow the princess!"
The last time we met, we were still life-and-death enemies. In the months after the war, Zhang Sheng had been They all suspected that Zhang Rang was being treated harshly by Ying Chengxuan. He hung Ying Chengxuan's portrait on the wall every day to express his ambition. His only goal in this life was to kill Ying Chengxuan.
When we met again, hey, we became teammates?
Zhang Sheng could not adapt to this rapid change of identity for a while.
So Zhang Sheng’s words were also very blunt, indicating that although we live in Chang’an Jun’s Mansion, we are not prepared to be loyal to you, we are only loyal to the Sixth Princess!
Ying Chengyu bowed his hands and said: "On the battlefield, everyone is his own master. Life and death are determined by fate. There is no resentment after the war."
"Zhang Zikang is willing to put aside his prejudice against me and help his mother. I am deeply grateful to you." "
Faced with Ying Chengyu's sincere gratitude, Zhang Sheng blushed a little and didn't know how to respond, so he quickly changed the topic: "This is Zhang Liang, a clan brother of a certain person."
Ying Cheng was slightly startled.
Zhang Liang?
Is the child in front of me who looks like Lin Daiyu Zhang Liang?
But then I thought about it, this is only reasonable!
Isn’t Zhang Rang Zhang Liang’s uncle?
And Zhang Liang’s father died not long after Zhang Liang was born, so Zhang Liang has always lived with Zhang Rang.
Now that Zhang Rang has been subordinated to Mrs. Han, where can Zhang Liang go? Seeing that Ying Chengyu was speechless, Zhang Liang took the lead in handing over his hand and introduced himself seriously: "The grandson of Kaidi, the prime minister of the late Han Dynasty, the second son of the prime minister of the late Han Dynasty, and the nephew of the prime minister of the late Han Dynasty, Liang, surnamed Zhang, pays homage to Lord Chang'an!"< br>
Listen to this self-introduction.
One door and three phases!
No wonder Zhang Liang would hate Da Qin so much in the future if Ying Chengyu hadn’t intervened.
As long as Korea does not subjugate, Zhang Liang will definitely be ranked among the Nine Ministers in the future.
If Zhang Sheng dies early, Zhang Liang will become the fifth generation prime minister of the Zhang family!
That is the position of prime minister!
Just because the Qin Dynasty destroyed South Korea, the position of Prime Minister that Zhang Liang was likely to obtain was lost.
Who could not hate me?
Looking at the child in front of him who had left a strong mark on the great cause of the fall of Qin, Ying Chengyu returned the gift with complicated eyes: "Jun Chang'an of the Great Qin, I have met the husband."
Zhang Liang finally showed a smile: "Are you here to find your uncle?"
Ying Chengqiao smiled and nodded: "Exactly."
Zhang Liang pointed with his right hand: "Uncle is here. In the main room, please come with me.”
Although Zhang Liang is only thirteen years old, his etiquette and speech are already impeccable, and he is even more flexible than Zhang Sheng.
Standing outside the door of the main house, Zhang Liang shouted sweetly: "Uncle, Lord Chang'an is here to visit!"
Ying Chengzhen stepped into the door and said loudly: "I ask Zhang Tianan for your forgiveness for coming here!"
"I also know that Zhang Tianan returned home after a long journey, and there are a lot of relatives who need to be accommodated, so he is very busy."< br>
“However, I am away from Zhang Tianan, just like a fish out of water, now...”
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Rang, who was lying on the soft couch, was already subconsciously shrinking inward. , exclaimed: "Don't come over!"
Ying Chengyu:? ? ?
You're not done yet, are you?
It’s been so long and your symptoms haven’t improved at all?
I was still complaining in my heart, but before Zhang Rang spoke, Ying Chengyu had already subconsciously put away his feet and walked towards the door.
Mrs. Han gave Ying Chengyu a helpless look: "How many times have I told you not to come in!"
"This time I have offended Zhang Tianan again!"
After saying this, Mrs. Han hurried into the house.
Facing Zhang Liang's shocked gaze, Ying Chengyu felt helpless: "I'm used to it."
In the room, Zhang Rang was breathing heavily.
The horrible memories of the dead attacked him again.
Zhang Rang originally thought that he was no longer afraid of Ying Chengxiang, and even summoned his family due to Mrs. Han's kindness, planning to die in Chang'an Lord's house.
But when he faced Ying Chengyu again, Zhang Rang realized that Ying Chengyu's threads were not only sewn on his body, but also sewn on his heart.
It can’t be dismantled!
After gasping for a while, Zhang Rang finally spoke in a trembling voice: "If you have any questions about Mr. Changan, you can ask him."
"I just ask Mr. Changan not to enter."
Ying Chengxuan said immediately: "Zhang Tianan's previous prediction was good. Brother Wang hopes to weaken the forces of all parties this time."
"In the battle of Yongcheng, all Lao Ai's troops surrendered, and more than half of Lu Xiang's troops were lost in the battle. However, something went wrong in the battle of Xianyang City. The battle losses of the Queen Mother Huayang's troops were less than 30%, and they were quite powerful."
Ying Chengyu carefully recounted what happened in recent days.
After listening to Ying Chengxuan’s story, Zhang Rang immediately said: “This is an opportunity!”
Ying Chengxuan asked back: “An opportunity?”
Zhang Rang gently said Nodding: "The Queen Mother Huayang is so powerful that King Qin needs a force to check and balance the Queen Mother Huayang."
"This force can be led by anyone, and naturally it can also be led by Lord Chang'an."
Ying Chengyu frowned slightly: "Zhang Tianan wants me to create checks and balances and long-lasting conflicts in Da Qin?"< br>
“This is not what I and Brother Wang want!”
Zhang Rang laughed: “You don’t want to check and balance?”
“This is definitely not what I want or want to do. , this is a necessary matter, and it should not be diverted by people’s hearts!”
Do you like checks and balances when you are the king of other countries?
Who doesn’t know that checks and balances are a huge devastation to national power?
But is it possible not to do this kind of thing if you don’t want to?
Look at how much headache the Queen Mother of Huayang and her family are giving you right now!
Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "Da Qin only needs one voice, and that is Brother Wang's voice!"
Zhang Rang was silent for a few moments and then asked with some disbelief: "Mr. Chang'an has no pursuit of power?"
Ying Chengyu said firmly: "No!"
Ying Cheng Xi really has no pursuit of power.
Ying Chengyu asked himself that he could not seize the throne from Ying Zheng.
Ying Chengyu understands how much hair and lifespan it takes to complete the great cause of unifying the world. Ying Chengyu has no interest in breaking his head to find fault.
That being the case, why would he ruin his family relationship with Ying Zheng for the sake of power?
Just tell me what you want!
You can get the benefits of just talking, so why should I waste my energy?
However, Zhang Rang couldn't understand Ying Chengyu's thoughts at all, and even thought that Ying Chengyu was simply unreasonable!
Mrs. Han smiled warmly: "A certain person has taken this child to indulge in the mountains and rivers since he was a child."
"Power is certainly intoxicating, but how can it be as intoxicating as the joy of mountains and rivers?"
"So this child really has no desire for power."
Zhang Rang immediately said: "What the Sixth Princess said Absolutely."
"As a Lord of Chang'an, you will be happier if you stay away from the whirlpool of power!"
Outside the door, Ying Chengyu and Zhang Liang pouted at the same time.
Zhang Rang frowned and said: "If you don't want to check and balance, then you can only..."
"Supreme!"
"But King Qin made an agreement with the Queen Mother Huayang to limit the struggle to Within a certain limit, this matter is not easy to explain. "
The relationship between Ying Zheng and the Huayang Queen Mother can be completely substituted into the relationship between monarch power and prime minister power.
Taking power is what every king is thinking about, but how can it be so easy to do?
Zhang Liang suddenly said: "It is rare to be alone, but if it only weakens the Huayang Queen Mother's line, how about praising and killing her?"
Ying Chengyu asked with interest: "Tell me in detail?"
Zhang Liang raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you don't need to do anything more. You just need to let the Queen Mother Huayang and her family go. They will be driven by the desire for profit and act more and more arrogantly."
"At this moment, I can do it myself. Catch them all in one fell swoop!”
Ying Chengyu shook his head: “But this will damage our great Qin’s national strength.”
Zhang Rang smiled: "What Liang'er said is not impossible, and it may not necessarily damage the national power of Qin."
"But if you do this, it will end with one person taking responsibility, or even taking the blame. !”
Ying Chengyu asked curiously: “Who is responsible?”
Zhang Rang and Zhang Liang both said: “It’s your Majesty!”
