Walking in Xianyang Palace, looking at this probably the most magnificent palace complex in this era, Ying Weiyi looked a little emotional and reminiscing.

This was his home in this life. During the fourteen years of his life before he went to school, he had always lived in Xianyang Palace. Except for some necessary times, he almost never left this deep palace compound.

While thinking, Ying Wei, followed by Gai Nie, arrived in front of Zhangtai Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is already waiting."

Gai Nie stood still in front of the steps of Zhangtai Palace and said with cupped hands. Before Ying came back to his senses, he nodded, took two quick steps up the steps and entered Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng, who was reading the memorial at his desk, raised his head , after seeing Ying Wei, he looked happy, put down the pen in his hand and stood up quickly, and came to the desk.

Seeing Ying Zheng, Ying Wei also stepped forward quickly, with a smile on his face, and saluted:"……My brother pays homage to Brother Wang!"

Ying Zheng quickly stopped Ying Wei, supported him and said:"……Third brother, why do you need to be polite? Get up quickly and show me!"

Immediately, he took a step back, looked Ying Wei up and down, and said:"……After not seeing each other for four years, the third brother has changed a lot, especially his height, which has grown a lot."

When Ying Wei was nine years old, King Zhuang Xiang died, and 13-year-old Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne.

King Zhuang Xiang was a rare Qin king with very few children. He only had three brothers. In the year of his death, the eldest Ying Zheng was only thirteen years old and still a child.

As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Ying Zheng, who inherited the throne at the age of thirteen, cared very much about his two younger brothers. This was mainly because he had a miserable childhood and did not want to see him again. The same is true for brothers.

Before he was nine years old, Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji lived in the Kingdom of Zhao as orphans and widowers. Qin and Zhao had a big feud. You can imagine how painful Ying Zheng's life was as a child, and he had no brothers or sisters.

After returning to China, , he truly lived the life of a prince of Qin and had his own brothers.

At that time, Lu Buwei was already in power, and it was almost certain that Ying Zheng would become the king of Qin.

The disadvantage was that neither Ying Wei nor Cheng Xi had a chance at that time. But the good thing is that there is no fight for the prince within the royal family, so the three brothers have always been in harmony.

Ying Zheng can be said to have been extremely lacking in love since he was a child. The only thing he had was Zhao Ji's maternal love.

After he succeeded to the throne, he was suppressed by Lu Buwei. , life is depressing, but as the King of Qin, he cannot complain to outsiders. The only objects of complaint are his two younger brothers.

When Ying Zheng looked at Ying Wei, Ying Wei was also looking at this future generations who will be the most important person through the ages. Emperor.

At this time, Ying Zheng was just in his early twenties, with a restrained and calm expression, and the bearing of a king.

Later historical records said that the First Emperor was cruel. Let’s not say whether the records in those books were intended to smear the image. Anyway, In Ying Wei's memory, Brother Zheng was very kind to him and Cheng Yu.

People's personalities are shaped by life experiences. In Ying Wei's view, Ying Zheng may indeed become a ruthless emperor.

But the main turning point should be Zhao Ji's betrayal.

When his mother, especially the mother he has depended on since childhood, betrays him, it is unimaginable how hard Ying Zheng, as a son, will be hit.

I'm afraid it was also from that time, Ying Zheng completely closed his heart and became a loner. He only knew how to use power and tactics. He only had the heart of an emperor and was no longer human.

However, Ying Wei felt that now that he had himself, he could not let Ying Zheng Then he becomes that cruel and inhumane emperor.

The so-called accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, that kind of ruthless emperor. Even if Ying Wei considers his own safety, if he faces that kind of emperor, he will probably have to think about how to deal with it. Replaced.

So it is best to maintain this harmonious and harmonious situation of brothers, friends and brothers.

Let Brother Zheng be his sealing tool in Xianyang Palace and worry about those national policies. As a younger brother, I , wouldn’t it be wonderful to just go through the trouble and have fun everywhere?

Ying Wei thought about these things and said with a smile:"……Brother Wang is no different from four years ago, except that his expression is more melancholy."

Ying Wei's words are also a tactful way to point out Ying Zheng's current predicament.

As for the kind of harmonious situation that Ying Wei envisions for everyone, it is actually very easy to achieve.

One is not to make Ying Zheng feel that Everyone has betrayed him, making him feel that everyone in the world is the enemy.

The second is that both sides should position themselves correctly so that they will not be suspicious.

For Ying Wei, who is proficient in Legalist techniques, this is not difficult.

Ying How could Zheng You not understand the meaning of Ying Wei's words? He touched his brows, as if to see if they were really frowning.

He laughed, shook his head, and asked:"……Third brother has been working hard all the way and hasn’t had lunch yet, right?"

Ying Wei replied:"……Indeed not"

"The third brother had been working hard all the way and should have taken some rest first. However, Gu and the third brother had not seen each other for several years and even missed him, so the third brother ate with Gu."

In front of others, Ying Zheng always calls himself a mediocre person, but in front of his only younger brother, he doesn't want to be too unfamiliar.

After saying that, he didn't give Ying Wei a chance to refuse. Ying Zheng just waved his hand and asked him to serve with him. The eunuch temporarily took away the bamboo slips on the table, and then he took Ying Wei's hand and came to another table for dining. In the pre-Qin period, everyone did not sit at the same table when dining, but each person had a small table with the following instructions. Various exquisite dishes are placed in the system.

Ying Zheng is a person who hates red tape very much. He pursues efficiency, so there is no rule about eating without speaking. The two brothers chatted while eating.

Mainly because Ying Wei said, Ying Zheng listened and talked about some things that Ying Wei had studied in the past four years and what he had seen and heard at Xiaoshengxian Village.

Ying Zheng did not talk about his own life. He was the King of Qin and there were some things that he could not say. The second was Ying Zheng. Zheng has been in Xianyang Palace for the past four years and has nothing to say. It can be seen that being a diligent king is not so comfortable. At least he does not have the freedom of Ying Wei.

As they chatted, the two of them talked about this time Ying Wei About being assassinated in Wei State.

Before Ying could speak, Ying Zheng clapped his hands and signaled everyone else in the hall to get down, even Gai Nie, who was trusted by him. No matter how much he trusted Gai Nie,

Ying Zheng would In Zheng's eyes, they are all outsiders. There are some words that he cannot listen to, only his own people can. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Third brother, this time you encountered an assassination in Wei State, do you have any clue about the identity of the assassin? Ying

Zheng asked with a deep expression.

Naturally, Ying Wei would not hide anything and complained directly:"……The one who assassinated me was the one who snagged me!"

"If my brother had not discovered the clues and made preparations in advance, I am afraid that what comes to see Brother Wang now is a corpse."

Ying Zheng's face became gloomy and became more and more ugly. He suppressed his voice and cursed in a low voice:"……That traitor Lu Buwei must have killed all my brothers before he stopped!"

In front of outsiders, it is naturally impossible for Ying Zheng to scold him like this. Even when he opens his mouth, he has to call him Zhongfu, which is a shameful title.

Only in front of Ying Wei, he dares to say this.

If it were in the past, Ying Zheng would still have it He was suspicious and afraid that Ying Wei would get together with Lu Buwei to threaten his throne.

But now he has completely lost that idea. The moment Lu Buwei assassinated Ying Wei, Ying Zheng knew that Ying Wei was already his most important person. A trustworthy person is his most important younger brother.

In fact, after knowing that Lu Buwei actually wanted to kill Ying Wei, Ying Zheng felt relieved.

Except for the kind of person who is truly cut off from love and sex, no one wants to be with him The family members were fighting each other with swords, but Ying Zheng's position forced him to think about this.

Lu Buwei's behavior made the two brothers no longer separated and able to trust each other. From this point of view, they still have to Thank you Lu Buwei.

Hearing what Ying Zheng said, Ying Wei's eyes flickered. He held the wine glass and whispered:"……There may be something fishy about the second brother's rebellion."

Since there is no barrier between brothers, Ying Wei can naturally speak freely.

Ying Zheng nodded slowly and said:"……Gu knew it, but he chose to rebel after all."

"If he just rebelled, for the sake of being brothers for so many years, I can spare him the death penalty."

"｀.But unfortunately, he chose to defect to the State of Zhao. In order to answer the question to the entire State of Qin, he had to be sentenced to death."

Ying Zheng's words seemed indifferent, but Ying Wei could still see the pain in Ying Zheng's eyes. After all, he was his younger brother who had grown up with him.

"The third brother has been at Xiaoshengxian Manor in Qi State, but he must have heard that rumor."

Ying Zheng was very calm when talking about the rumor.

Ying Wei nodded slowly:"……My brother knows, but this rumor must be nonsense."

With that said, Ying Wei looked at the appearance of Ying Zheng in front of him. After all, they were both born to the same father.Their appearance is at least 60% similar.

Unless he, Ying Wei, is also the son of Lu Buwei, then this rumor is false no matter how you look at it.

Ying Zheng could also see that Ying Wei meant to compare the looks of the two sides, which made him laugh.

Ying Zheng has been holding back for too long. In this Xianyang Palace, as the King of Qin, he must maintain his dignity at all times, and there is nowhere to vent the many depressed things in his heart.

Whether it was the eunuchs around him, Zhang Han who had been following him, or Gai Nie who was loyal to him, he could not tell any of his innermost thoughts to them.

If you hold it in for a long time, even though you are used to it, it still feels uncomfortable and can easily lead to psychological problems.

The best person I can confide in is my mother Zhao Ji.

But the relationship between Ying Zheng and his mother is now very tense, because Ying Zheng doesn't understand why his mother would help Lu Buwei instead of helping him!

Although Zhao Ji was indeed Lu Buwei's concubine from the beginning, she would rather help her old sweetheart than her own son, which is simply puzzling. It can only be said that women have a disease in their brains!

As for his wives and concubines, they are just tools for political marriage. Ying Zheng already has lofty ambitions, and it is impossible for him to have feelings for them.

Even because of his mother (the good king's), he instinctively feels repelled by women, and just being a reproductive tool is enough.

So now that he sees his brother, a brother he can trust, Ying Zheng can finally say what he has been holding in his heart.

"Although we all understand that this is nonsense, it is easy to have people's minds wander if we can't stop what the people below think."

"Neither Gu nor Cheng Xi knew about this rumor at first, but Lu Buwei's eyes were all over Xianyang. He was the first to know about it, and it was only then that Lu Buwei asked Cheng Xi to attack Zhao."

Ying Zheng slowly talked about the situation in the court at that time.

Ying Wei thought about it and replied:"……If my prediction is correct, Brother Wang, you should have wanted to refuse at first."

"I understand the second brother's temperament. Unless his temperament has changed drastically in the past four years, I don't think the second brother has the ability to lead troops in combat."

"With Brother Wang's intelligence, he should be able to tell that Lu Buwei wanted his second brother to die. Ying

Zheng sighed softly and said:"……The third brother has been smart since he was a child. Outsiders don't know it, but Guhe Chengqiu knows."

"Just like you have been studying at Xiaoshengxian Village in Qi for the past four years, and the books you have written have been read by me every night."

Ying Zheng said this and glanced at Ying Wei with scorching eyes.

The scorching eyes frightened Ying Wei, and he quickly took a sip of wine to calm down.

Although I wrote that book just to catch you, but Brother Zheng, you This look is too dangerous. Brother, I am not interested in men, and I am not as good as Long Yang, let alone Lord Long Yang!

Ying Wei, muttering like this, tugged on his sleeves, I hope Brother Zheng, you won’t cut off my sleeves!.
