"Brother, Lu Xiangguo, it's rare for the three of us to get together, come and have a drink."

Cheng Qiao raised the bronze wine bottle with a smile on his face. Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei also showed respect by raising their wine bottles in a distant salute, each covering his sleeves with his sleeves and drinking down the wine in one gulp.

"Little brother, are you inviting me as your brother and teacher just for the banquet?"

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. Brother Wei didn't say hello to my mother when I came here this time. I will inevitably be lectured if I go back late."

Ying Zheng put down his wine bottle, looked at Cheng Qiao, and said bluntly.

"Okay, brother and Lu Xiangguo are both very busy people, so I won't give in to you."

"What I want to talk about today has actually been said frankly to my brother before. Today, in front of Lu Xiangguo, I will say it again and for the last time."

When Ying Zheng heard this, his heart moved and he had some vague guesses.

"My father only has two sons, our brother, so the position of crown prince must arise between us brothers. For various reasons, my younger brother couldn't help but get involved."

"Of course, I used to have hopes for the crown prince's position. However, now, I finally understand my true intention. The crown prince's position and the throne are not the things I desire most. There are three things I desire most."

"The first is to pursue the highest realm of cultivation, and the second is to enjoy life in the process of pursuing the highest realm, such as fine wine, delicious food, beauties, and beautiful scenery."

"Third, as a member of the Ying Qin clan, we naturally cannot leave Qin's younger brother alone. We should help Qin unify the world and help Qin lay a foundation that will last for eternity!"

In fact, the third thing Cheng Qiao wanted to say was to change the fate of Qin II's death and do everything he could to prolong Qin's national destiny. However, things have not happened yet, so naturally he cannot say it clearly.

"Over the years, I have carefully observed my grandfather and father, the king, and found that although the king has supreme power, he also has to bear overwhelming responsibilities. He has too little personal time, too much pressure, too many constraints, and his life is too tiring."

"Brother understands my little brother's temperament and is definitely not someone who can calm down between documents."

After the initial shock, Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng listened quietly to Cheng Qiao's self-analysis. Lu Buwei was dubious about Cheng Qiao's words, but did not fully believe them.

Ying Zheng recalled the first meeting between the two of them when he came back from Zhao, and every detail of their relationship. Until today, observing his words and actions, he had full confidence in Cheng Qiao's words, and felt warm in his heart.

Although the two brothers competed fairly, Ying Zheng did not think he would lose, but he was definitely in great trouble. The forces supporting Cheng Qiao were not much weaker than the forces supporting him, and the most troublesome one was the support of the clan.

Because of the competition between the two brothers, Qin will definitely fall into fierce internal strife...

"If I take the throne, I will definitely not be a qualified king. In my opinion, a qualified king means that he can suppress his true temperament at all times, does not neglect public affairs for personal reasons, and puts Qin and its people first in everything." First."

"Brother, my temperament is more emotional. Brother, you are more rational. Brother, you are also much better at government affairs. Moreover, brother, you are the eldest son. This position of prince must belong to you, brother. I support you, little brother."

"I hope that, brother, you can inherit the legacy of your ancestors and carry forward the Qin Kingdom!"

"Tomorrow, I will go to my father to recommend my elder brother to become the prince."

After hearing the end, Lu Buwei was completely convinced. If Cheng Qiao was using a delaying tactic to make their group relax their vigilance, then he didn't add the last sentence at all, which was a sentence that cut off the retreat!

When Ying Zheng heard the last words, he was so moved that his eyes turned red. He tilted his head slightly to prevent his tears from falling. His heart was filled with warmth, and he was deeply moved by the fact that he had such a brother who was not a real brother, but was better than a real brother.

"Your Majesty is so honorable and upright, I admire you so much. Please pay homage to me!"

Lu Buwei stood up, used the honorific title, put his hands together in a bow, bent his back, and bowed deeply.

At this moment, Lu Buwei was extremely happy. Compared to what he gained, what he lost was completely negligible. Compared to Ying Zheng's position as the crown prince, the snare was nothing. He was completely willing to do so, and even had the urge to add some more. .

Ying Zheng adjusted his mood, stood up with red eyes, bowed his hands, and said solemnly: "There is no need to say more between you and me, brothers. I will keep it in my heart as a brother and I will not forget it!"

Cheng Qiao accepted the two men's greetings and said with a carefree smile: "I have already felt the sincerity of brother and Lu Xiangguo. Please take a seat."

Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei are not mother-in-law people. Saying this kind of thing too much would seem hypocritical. The important thing is how to do it in the future, and sit down calmly after hearing the words.

"Did your Majesty consult with them on the decision he made?"

The hall was quiet for a while, and when everyone's emotions basically calmed down, Lu Buwei spoke again.

"Of course you can't discuss this kind of thing with anyone. You have to deal with it first and then explain it. I'm sure to convince my grandmother and mother, so don't worry."

"As long as you convince grandma, Yingxi and the others won't be able to make any trouble."

Mrs. Han followed the steps of Queen Mother Xia, and she would do whatever Queen Mother Xia said.

"What's Ying Xi's idea? Do you think I can't guess it because I'm young?"

"It is impossible for me to do things that will cause pain to my relatives and pleasure to my enemies. I want our brothers to kill each other, and I want to covet the throne. It's just a dream!"

"Even if grandma can't accept it for a while, it doesn't matter. She will accept it sooner or later. After all, my brother is also grandson of grandma."

Cheng Qiaolai's move was equivalent to the effect of "Your Majesty, I am ready to fight to the death, why do you surrender first?" Since he, the protagonist in the fight for the crown prince, has abstained, where is there any room for maneuver?

"There is no point in internal strife. Qin's power should be poured out on the six countries."

Ying Chengqiao really has no idea of ​​becoming the King of Qin. If nothing else, he can't accept the fact that he has no freedom at all. He has a group of people watching and following him no matter what he does. He has too many specific things to worry about and it's annoying to death.

If you give up your position as King of Qin, as long as you don't commit rebellion or betrayal of the Qin State, even if you don't have a specific official position, how can the power in your hands be reduced with the respect of the king's younger brother?

From ancient times to the present, power is not determined by the specific position, but by the relationship with the superior and the influence on the superior. Otherwise, there is no saying that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister...

With his status as the king's younger brother and his deep brotherhood with Ying Zheng, even the Prime Minister who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people would not dare to offend him. Although his gust of wind is not the pillow wind, it is no less powerful than the pillow wind. , even stronger than the wind on your pillow!

Is Ying Zheng a person whose judgment is influenced by women?

Even if it was Li Fei, Ying Zheng was not without principles. Rather than loving Li Fei, Ying Zheng loved the white moonlight in his heart when he was young, just like his unforgettable first love.

When that person appears in front of you again many years later, you will find that you loved the person you first met when you were young and have no feelings for him or her now.

Maybe what I love is youth...

Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei were both relieved. They had considered it so carefully, so what else could they be worried about?

"Brother, come here, let me toast you, for my brother..."

"Don't say much, it's all in the wine, do it!"

Ying Zheng: "..."

"Okay, it's all in the wine, let's do it!"

That night, Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei both fell down drunk, and Cheng Qiao arranged for the palace officials to send them back.
Chapter completed!
