Chapter 288 I am not only afraid of my brother’s suffering, but also afraid of my brother driving a Land Rover!
Ying Zheng has been with Ying Chengyu for more than ten years, but he has never seen Ying Chengyu look so angry.
Even when Lu Buwei tried to kill Ying Chengyu three years ago, Ying Chengyu had never been so angry.
But now, Ying Chengyu’s hair was so angry that it was all puffy!
I’m so angry!
Ying Zheng hurriedly comforted him: "Brother Wang, please calm down! Brother Nai has never been angry, why are you so angry?"
Who would have thought that Ying Chengyu would become even more angry and look at Ying Zheng with wide eyes: " Why aren’t you angry, brother?”
“Isn’t Yan Dan’s behavior worthy of anger?”
The relationship between Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng is already close enough.
But even so, Ying Chengyu would not call Ying Zheng by his first name.
In Ying Chengyu's view, this is the most basic respect for his elder brother and the king!
After Ying Zheng was silent for a few breaths, he spoke softly: "Brother, do you remember the state when brother just returned to Xianyang?"
Ying Chengxuan suppressed his anger and nodded: "I will never forget. ”
The Ying Zheng then and the Ying Zheng now are completely different!
Obviously he is three years older than Ying Chengyu, but he is thinner than Ying Chengyu, with a sallow face and sunken cheeks. Only the brilliance of his eyes can reveal the shadow of a hero.
When the two of them stood together, it seemed as if Ying Chengyu was the eldest brother.
There was a hint of reminiscence in Ying Zheng's voice: "In the fiftieth year of King Zhaoxiang, we, the Qin Dynasty, betrayed our alliance and attacked Zhao. King Zhao Xiaocheng wanted to kill the late king to vent his anger."
"The late king got help from Lu Buwei and bribed the city guard with a lot of money to escape. However, my brother and his mother and concubine were left behind in Handan." Later, he was reported by his uncle and handed over to his mother, concubine, and brother, King Xiaocheng. "Fortunately, the late king was already the prince at that time, and my brother was the son of Prince Qin, so King Zhao Xiaocheng did not kill his brother and his mother, concubine." The brother, mother and concubine were trapped in a small courtyard of Handan Palace like prisoners. ”
"The meal is only corn, and there are no pickles."
"There are only two pieces of clothing, nothing to change."
"Only when the eldest father occasionally asks the eunuch for help, can he get some vegetables and meat. It’s edible.”
Ying Cheng’s heart ached when he heard this.
Ying Chengyu II is a human being, but he has never been wronged in terms of food.
No matter how poorly you eat, you won’t be able to chew only corn in the shell!
But Ying Chengyu knew that what Ying Zheng said was the truth.
Whether it is historical data from later generations or what Ying Chengyu saw with his own eyes, it shows that Ying Zheng was severely malnourished in his childhood!
Ying Zheng showed a smile: "At that time, Yan Dan was also in Handan as a hostage, and he was already the prince of the Yan Kingdom and was valued by King Zhao."
"I heard that. After what happened to his brother, Yan Dan asked King Zhao Xiaocheng to allow his brother to get out of the prison and take a walk in Handan Palace. "
"From time to time, I came to visit my brother with food and meat, and even went to reprimand the eunuchs and maids who insulted my brother."
"Although I am trapped in a small place, I have no contempt for my brother."
“Brother asked Yan Dan, how should I repay you?”
“Yan Dan said, in the future we will be kings, we must not forget today’s friendship, and do not want each other. Let’s start the war.”
“Brother agreed, and I will always remember it!”
Ying Chengyu more or less understood the feelings between Ying Zheng and Yan Dan.
At that time, Ying Zheng was just the least valued among the more than 100 great-grandsons of King Zhaoxiang.
He was ignored by his grandfather and abandoned by his father. Together with his mother, he was locked up in a small courtyard like a prisoner by the enemy king.
Everyone around him was full of hatred towards Ying Zheng because of the war between the two countries, which made Ying Zheng suffer a lot of injustice.
In such a desperate situation, the future first heir to the throne of King Yan extended a helping hand to Ying Zheng.
He helped Ying Zheng put in good words and fought for Ying Zheng's space to move freely.
He provided nutrition to Ying Zheng’s meat and vegetables, and became the only person Ying Zheng could talk to and communicate with on an equal footing.
But he did not ask Ying Zheng to give substantial rewards, nor did he ask Ying Zheng to remain humble and petty. He just wanted to make friends with Ying Zheng, and he became Ying Zheng's only friend!
Even when I asked how I should repay him, I just agreed that if we were kings in the future, we would still maintain today's friendship.
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengyu sincerely: "In the past, Brother Nai was just a grandson abandoned by the king, but Yan Dan was the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom."
"Yan Dan does not despise brother Nai because of his low status, but is still willing to be friends with brother Nai."
"Today, brother Nai is the king of Qin, and Yan Dan is still the prince of Yan."
"Brother, are you going to dislike Yan Dan and stop being friends with Yan Dan because of the difference in status?"
For Ying Zheng, Yan Dan may be the white shadow of his childhood. Moonlight, the light that illuminated his dim life!
Ying Chengyu will be angry because of Yan Dan's rudeness.
But Ying Zheng was relieved when he saw that Yan Dan was still as free and easy as before.
There are already enough ministers from various countries who respect him, fear him, please him, and criticize him.
But my friend, there is only one Ying Zheng!
Ying Chengyu sighed softly: "Brother will never draw his sword because of Yan Dan's misbehavior."
"Since the eldest brother regards Yan Dan as his friend, then as long as Yan Dan If you don't do anything beyond the realm of friends, you won't get angry."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "It's very kind!"
Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "But Brother Yan Dan is only a helping hand, not a life-saving grace."
" I think the friendship between Yan Dan and the eldest brother is a personal friendship."
"It would be ridiculous if Yan Dan wants to change the general trend of the country based on this friendship!"
Ying Zheng. After a few breaths of silence, he did not answer directly, but said softly: "Brother Nai and Yan Dan once made an agreement: If each of us becomes king one day, Qin Yan will not attack!"
Ying Chengyu smiled: "But now my brother is the king of Qin, but Yan Dan is not the king of Yan!"
"If you want to fulfill the old agreement between eldest brother and Yan Dan, you have to wait for Yan Dan to become the king of Yan. That’s right!”
Ying Zheng took a sip of the warm drink and said nothing.
There are many words that are meaningless to say.
Ying Chengxuan continued: "But Yan Dan may not necessarily think so."
"My brother has seen such a kind of people. When they face friends who are not as good as themselves, they will give generously and help each other without any contempt. They can be described as generous and generous."
" However, if their friends' lives are better than theirs, or even much better, they will feel dissatisfied or even hateful!"
"In my opinion, Yan Dan may They are this kind of people."
"The elder brother intends to take on the role of Yan Dan in the past and take care of Yan Dan."
"Yan Dan does not necessarily want to be taken care of by the elder brother, even slightly. I don’t think the eldest brother is humiliating him!”
I'm not only afraid of my brother's hardship, but also afraid of my brother driving a Land Rover. This is not an evil person's behavior, it is actually human nature.
The little brother who once had to rely on his own support to eat meat has now become the top leader of the country.
I used to be the big brother, but I need to ask my little brother for help, because the existence of myself, my family, and my country all depends on my little brother.
Such a huge identity change is unacceptable to many people!
Not everyone can handle their emotions properly to maintain or maximize past friendships.
Ying Zheng laughed: "Brother Wang, are you trying to teach me how to understand people's hearts?"
Ying Chengyu spread his hands: "I am not as good at understanding people's hearts as my brother. I am not as familiar with the court as my brother.”
“But I have an intuition.”
“Brother and Yan Dan will eventually break up, and even have a deeper hatred than ordinary people.”
"If one day Yan Dan sends an assassin to kill my eldest brother, I won't be surprised at all."
The childhood friendship between Yan Dan and Ying Zheng is rarely seen in historical materials.
But the article "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is a must-have text for high school, how could Ying Chengyu not know about it!
After Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, he said softly: "The future is unpredictable."
"But at least now, Yan Dan is a brother's friend!"
Ying Zheng did not refute Ying Chengxuan's words.
Ying Zheng has experienced troughs and reached peaks.
Ying Zheng has a more thorough understanding of the changes in people's hearts than Ying Chengyu.
Taking a breath to cheer up, Ying Zheng said warmly: "Brother, please go home and rest first."
"In a few days, Yan Nu will be here."
"It will be time for me to get busy again."
Ying Chengyu flattened his lips: "Brother, are you going to drive me away?"
Ying Zheng laughed and scolded: "Otherwise, I will still have to watch you. Are you and Yan Dan continuing to quarrel?"
"I was afraid that I couldn't take care of him alone, so I stepped forward with my sword and killed Yan Dan myself!"
"Hurry up! Go back and rest!”
Ying Chengyun reluctantly got off the carriage, got on his horse and ran towards Chang'an Township.
Looking at Ying Chengyu who was leaving with a livid face, Li Xin snorted softly.
Now you know how I felt in the past!
Without Ying Chengyu in the welcoming team, the welcoming atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
This is not only because of the hostility between Ying Chengxuan and Yan Dan, but also because of Ying Chengxuan's record.
Which Yan people can laugh when facing a general who defeated the 100,000 main force of the Yan army in one battle and forced the former prime minister to commit suicide!
When it was getting late, Yao Jia arranged for the envoys of Yan State to rest.
Only Ying Zheng and Yan Dan were left in the hall.
Lifting the wine baron and walking down the high platform, Ying Zheng sat opposite Yan Dan.
When Yan Dan saw this, he raised his head and invited him to drink: "Drink wins!"
Ying Zheng also smiled and raised the title: "Drink victory!"
After drinking the wine from the title, Yan Dan said with emotion: "I really want to go back to my childhood."
"Go back to that innocent place. In the carefree time.”
Ying Zheng smiled and said nothing.
For Ying Zheng, his childhood memories worth recalling are really too few.
Yan Dan suddenly asked: "Do you still remember the tall and thin Yong Xiangcheng in Handan Palace?"
Ying Zheng immediately said: "How could I forget!"
That Yong Xiangcheng often received benefits from Ying Zheng's grandfather, but he often took the money and did nothing. Whenever he saw the meat, silk and satin given to Ying Zheng, he would keep it for himself, otherwise Ying Zheng's childhood would not have been so miserable.
Yan Dan said with a smile: "This time, my brother came to Qin as an envoy to Qin." , and also brought this person to Qin State and handed him over to the younger brother Zheng!”
Ying Zheng was moved and raised the wine cup: "Brother Dan, please remember this."
Yan Dan laughed heartily: "That man did a lot of bullying to you and me in the past."
< br>"Brother, how could I forget!"
One childhood incident after another was told, one drink after another was poured into his stomach, and Yan Dan's face became increasingly red.
Finally, Yan Dan put down his wine cup and sighed softly: "Now, times have changed, and the younger brother Zheng is already the King of Qin, and he is powerful in the world."
"But I wonder if brother Zheng still remembers the agreement you and I made back then?"
Ying Zheng's smile slowly faded, but he still nodded: "Of course I remember."
"If we are separated someday, As the king, Qin Yan will not attack!"
Yan Dan laughed heartily: "Yes, this is the agreement!"
"Brother Zheng, are you willing to fulfill the agreement?"
Ying Zheng said seriously: "Now Qin and Yan have reached a truce and have formed an alliance."
"There is no worry about a military front."
Yan Dan shook his head: "You and I are both. Anyone who is not a child should know what a covenant is.”
“There are more than tens of thousands of covenants made by all countries in the world!”
“But how many covenants can always exist?”
"There's not a single one!"
Yan Dan looked straight at Ying Zheng: "Brother Zheng, I'm not asking about Qin Yan, I'm asking about you!"
"Would you like to Keep your promise, will you not defeat Yan in this life?”
