Chapter 96 Don’t come over! (First order requested!)

Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "I can go and explain this matter to Brother Wang."

Zhang Rang sneered: "In the face of power, language is the weakest weapon."

"Do you think I haven't explained to the king the reasons for every action I take?"

"Do you think Lu Buwei has never told King Qin why he is targeting you?"

"The king is still wary of me in every possible way, and King Qin is also wary of Lu Buwei."

Lu Buwei transformed himself into Schrödinger's Lu Buwei, taking on different identities depending on the observer.

From the perspective of Ying Chengyu, Lu Buwei supports Ying Zheng. As long as Ying Zheng is determined, he can issue a royal order to kill Ying Chengyu!
From the perspective of Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei supports Ying Chengyu. As long as Ying Chengyu raises his arms, he can mobilize powerful forces to invade Xianyang Palace and usurp the throne as king!
This puts Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng in a prisoner's dilemma.

If Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng trust each other, Lu Buwei's tricks will be useless.

But in the face of throne, power and life, how many people can trust each other without reservation?

The dilemma faced by Ying Chengyu was also the dilemma faced by Zhang Rang.

Kaifangdi, Zhang Ping, and Zhang Rang spent two generations of their father and son's lives but still failed to solve this problem.

Zhang Rang turned to look at the wall, not wanting Mrs. Han and Ying Chengyu to see his eyes, but there was still unsuppressible sadness in his voice:
"You may have enough strength to overthrow King Qin, and that's enough."

"No matter how much you say, it is a capital offense."

"The king is ruthless!"

Mrs. Han was silent and looked at Ying Chengyu worriedly.

After Ying Chengyu was silent for a long time, he suddenly ordered in a deep voice:
"Eight husband, get the knife and pen!"

With the bamboo slip on the left and the sword on the right, Ying Chengyu carved a long string of words on the bamboo slip.

Mrs. Han looked closer and recited in a low voice:

"Please invite Teng Fu to be the Dian Ke, Han Ling to be the arsenal commander, Zhang Chong to be the bus commander, Yang Hu to be Zuo Zhonglang General, Chen He to be the prince's family commander, please..."

Ying Chengyu wrote down more than 30 names in succession.

Mrs. Han did not recognize many of them, but Mrs. Han knew that the owners of these names now lived in the guest courtyard of Chang'an Jun's Mansion.

Thinking about the officials currently holding these official positions, Mrs. Han's pupils shrank sharply.

"All the official positions you recommend will be filled by the subordinates of Prime Minister Lu."

"Xiao'er, what are you doing?!"

Ying Chengqiao smiled and said, "Didn't Prime Minister Lu want to show his intention to form an alliance?"

"We have been fighting with Prime Minister Lu for more than ten years, and many of our subordinates have been dismissed by Prime Minister Lu and returned home!"

"Settling grudges cannot be done by giving him a book. He needs to pay a price."

"I want these official positions!"

"Is he willing to give it?"

Mrs. Han's thoughts changed quickly: "If Prime Minister Lu is unwilling to give up these official positions, he will definitely fight with you in the court."

"In this case, the theory of Prime Minister Lu's alliance with you will be self-defeating."

"But what if Lu Buwei is willing to cede these official positions to you?"

Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "If Prime Minister Lu is willing to cede these official positions, then after getting these official positions, he will continue to ask for more official positions later."

Mrs. Han asked: "What if Prime Minister Lu continues to cede and maintain the false alliance with you?"

Ying Chengyu said quietly: "If Prime Minister Lu continues to cede, then Brother Wang will no longer need to speculate and doubt."

"Because I have actually mastered the power to overthrow Brother Wang."

"The one who should be worried at that time is Prime Minister Lu!"

Want to put me and Brother Wang in a prisoner's dilemma?
What is your identity?

Do you deserve it?
If you want to play Suspicion Chain, just do it yourself, let's play together!

Use your official position and power as a bargaining chip to gamble with me and Brother Wang.

See if you can pull it off before you lose all your chips!

Zhang Rang finally couldn't help but turned around and criticized: "You are taking risks!"

"Aren't you afraid that after you take over a certain amount of power, King Qin will order you to kill yourself before Lu Buwei is put to death?"

Ying Chengxuan smiled and said: "Brother Wang has not yet taken charge of the government, so the political affairs will be handled by Prime Minister Lu."

"If Brother Wang can issue an order for me to kill myself, it means that Lu Buwei is not my ally at all."

"Eliminate your suspicions!"

Zhang Rang sneered: "It's quite thoughtful."

"But there are still some omissions in many details. For example, Lu Buwei refused to give up a single official position and competed with you from the beginning."

"Wouldn't King Qin suspect that you were cooperating with Lu Buwei to put on a show to appease him, and then he would explode into rebellion once the plan was complete?"

Zhang Rang didn't know whether he was reminding Ying Chengyu or expressing the pain in his heart.

As he spoke, Zhang Rang became emotional, and his voice became determined and irritable:
"As long as the king has doubts about you, then all your actions will be wrong in the eyes of the king!"

“The more you do, the more you make mistakes!”

Ying Chengyu looked at Zhang Rang firmly: "I deeply believe in Brother Wang!"

There are indeed many problems with Ying Chengyu's plan.And in the end, it will lead to an unavoidable problem, that is, the power of Ying Chengyu's side may greatly increase as a result, posing a de facto threat to Ying Zheng.

But Ying Chengyu chose to believe in Ying Zheng. He believed that Ying Zheng would not be suspicious of him because of these things!

Zhang Rang turned to look at the wall again and said in a calm voice: "It's up to you."

Trust is something that cannot be explained, let alone quantified.

Since Ying Chengyu has chosen to believe that Ying Zheng will trust him, what's the use of Zhang Rang talking more?
Mrs. Han hurriedly persuaded: "Tian'an, Xiu'er is young and vigorous, full of energy, and his actions are quite reckless."

"If Tian'an has any good ideas, please don't hesitate to tell us."

"I will thank you very much!"

Zhang Rang's voice was a little rough:
"Let there be no good plan, let there be nothing."

Looking at the wall, Zhang Rang was stunned.

Seeing Ying Chengyu now, Zhang Rang remembered himself when he was young.

At that time, why didn't I trust King Han wholeheartedly?
Unfortunately, in the end, Zhang Rang only tasted the bitter fruit of trust and had to arm himself and use power to fight for power.

Zhang Rang believed that the brothers Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng would eventually make the same mistake as he and King Han.

But maybe, they can write a different ending?

Seeing this, Mrs. Han could only bow and said: "Have a good rest."

After leaving Zhang Rang's guest house, Mrs. Han sighed softly: "I met Zhang Tianan before I married Da Qin."

"At that time, although he was not a prime minister, he was very high-spirited."

"Now he has become a disabled person. The gap is so big that it is difficult to be calm anymore."

"His attitude today is probably because he is dissatisfied with you, so don't be upset."

"He may not treat you politely, but he will do what you ask him to do."

"Not for you, just for brother."

As she spoke, Mrs. Han sighed with emotion: "Eldest brother has always been wary of him, but in my opinion, this person really has a loyalty that is incompatible with this generation."

Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "I understand."

Even though I understand, Ying Chengyu is still a little unhappy.

Loyal officials are certainly worthy of respect, but the person Zhang Rang is loyal to is not him, so why should he be showing off to him?

A defeated general should look a bit like a defeated general!

Ying Chengxuan's thoughts suddenly moved and he spoke in a warm voice: "It's not a problem for Zhang Tianan to be like this all the time. I'm going to find another way to cure Zhang Tianan."

Mrs. Han curiously asked: "Even the imperial doctors in the palace are unable to do anything. Is there any other way for Xiu'er?"

Ying Chengyu said casually: "Give it a try, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Mrs. Han gave Ying Chengyu a dumbfounded look: "Why treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor?"

"Zhang Tianan is not dead yet!"

Ying Chengyu shook his head: "If the heart is dead, what is the difference between a dead person?"

Mrs. Han felt that what Ying Chengyu said made sense, so she nodded gently: "Be careful yourself and don't trust the magic of those alchemists."

"These loyal people are not loyal to you, and you should give them the respect they deserve."

Ying Chengyu bowed his hands and said, "I understand."

After turning around and going into the hospital, Ying Chengyu opened the door and heard a slight sigh.

But in the next second, it was replaced by an angry shout: "Who!"

Ying Chengyu responded in a deep voice: "I."

Zhang Rang turned his back to Ying Chengyu and said quietly: "I am tired, please leave early."

Ying Chengyu walked to Zhang Rang and spoke in a warm voice: "I just had an exchange with the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor was helpless about Zhang Tianan's illness."

"But I happen to have another technique that may be useful to Zhang Tianan."

For a moment, the knife, needle, thread and oil appeared in front of Zhang Rang again.

Zhang Rang's pupils were shaking, and he suddenly turned around to look at Ying Chengyu:

"Rang does not seek recovery, Rang only seeks a quick death!"

Ying Chengyu stepped forward and said with a smile: "My mother ordered me to cure Zhang Tianan. How can Zhang Tianan ask for death?"

However, Ying Chengyu's smile was so terrifying in Zhang Rang's eyes!
Zhang Rang squirmed towards the wall and roared:

"Don't come here!"

Under Zhang Rang's horrified gaze, Ying Chengyu stopped.

However, before Zhang Rang could feel relieved, Ying Chengxuan greeted the door again:

"Guardian! Fool!"

"Invite Zhang Tianan into the carriage!"

Zhang Rang:! ! !
Zhang Rang pulled his neck and shouted at the door:

"Princess! Help, princess!"
