When people were in Qin, the advantage was mine

Chapter 25 Do What You Want
……

"You know that Qin's unification is unstoppable, but you still want to raise the troops of the five countries to stop Qin's progress. Isn't this because you know that you can't do it?"

Ying Chen stood up.

“Mr.

“Although the road is far away, we will soon get there.”

"You think I am colluding with the enemy. I do not deny that what I am doing is indeed colluding with the enemy, but I do not feel that I am colluding with the enemy. I am just doing what I want to do."

"Whether you believe it or not, I started this thing just to let everyone have enough to eat. After all, I am, to put it harshly, weak by nature and can't bear to see suffering."

“I couldn’t bear to see so many people starving to death, so I wanted to do something to change everything.”

"Similarly, it's the same if I don't fight this battle with you. Seeing a lot of people die in front of my eyes, sometimes I really don't know how to face their families, old and young, so Qin Jun can always see There is not much reason for me to take the lead, just because being in front of them makes me feel less guilty."

"But when a war is destined to cause too many casualties, but it can be avoided, and I can make a decision, I will definitely avoid it."

"If it were a war for survival, I would definitely be at the forefront, but the nature of this war now is for the interests of politicians. For me, it is for Qin's so-called unification cause, and for you, it is to delay Qin's expansion.”

"However, you have to make so many people sacrifice their lives for dirty politics, and then make up beautiful ideal slogans to make them die in a daze. Mr. Xinling, aren't you flustered?"

"..."

"I can." Ying Chen stared into Lord Xinling's eyes closely.

"I can not do it."

……

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

On the way back to Daliang, Zhu Hai was a little worried when he saw Lord Xinling acting strangely since he came back from his conversation with Ying Chen.

"..."

Lord Xinling remained silent.

Ying Chen was really beyond his expectation.

"If the Six Kingdoms can rise and even surpass Qin as their people's power increases, that is the skill of the Six Kingdoms. If Qin cannot win this competition again, then Qin will not be qualified to win the world."

"Today's Qin State still has too many problems. In this case, what will happen even if the six countries are destroyed? In addition to breeding more hatred and stimulating more conflicts, what else can it bring? Just for that The so-called glory of unifying the world?"

"Is it really that important who will unify? Are you struggling with who will unify, is it for fame and fortune, or for benevolence and righteousness? You keep talking about the justice of the world, but all you think about is your own selfish desires. Don't you feel guilty? "

"..."

After a long silence, Lord Xinling sighed deeply, then looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Benevolence and righteousness, my benevolence and righteousness are really hypocritical benevolence and righteousness..."

The great road is not right, the great argument is not eloquent, the great benevolence is not benevolent, the great integrity is not modest, the great courage is not unyielding.

The way is clear but not true, the eloquence is not good enough, the benevolence is constant but not successful, the integrity is not trustworthy, the courage is not successful.

Zhuangzi, Taoist, really saw things thoroughly...

……

Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

After learning that the two armies did not fight, the coalition forces retreated, and Qin's city was recovered, all civil and military officials were surprised.

What the civil servant was puzzled about was that there really wasn't a fight?And the city of Qin was actually taken back?
The military commander was completely unable to understand Ying Chen's operations.

After Ying Chen set out for Hangu Pass, the rumor that the water from the river came from the sky gradually spread. After getting this news, everyone even thought that the coalition forces were in chaos due to the trouble of the river, and then the Qin army was in chaos. A winning situation.

But, no fight?
He really didn't fight?They didn't understand why Ying Chen would give up this opportunity in such a must-win situation.

Until an unknown person brought up the old story of Wu Anjun Bai Qi, all the generals instantly fell into silence.

They suddenly understood why Ying Chen was unwilling to fight this battle.

Now the new king has just succeeded to the throne and has no foundation. To be honest, it is not impossible for the young master Chengjiao to want to be the king of Qin.

And Ying Chen, the person who was once closest to the throne of Qin, was even more within reach.

If at this time, Ying Chen fights against the coalition forces and achieves a great victory, he will really have no control over whether to advance or retreat.

If Ying Chen's brilliance completely overshadows the current King of Qin, no matter what he thinks, his subjects inside and outside the court will actively move closer to him, and King Qin will be completely reduced to a decoration.

Don't think that whoever is the King of Qin will be the one everyone will turn to. If this were the case, there would be no such title as "powerful minister".

Ying Chen's situation is even more embarrassing than that of the powerful officials, because he can reasonably and legally inherit the throne of Qin as long as he wants.

But if Ying Chen wins this battle, it will be up to him whether he becomes the king or not.

It would be okay if Ying Chen complies with the wishes of the people below and ascends the throne. Although his reputation is not good, no one will actually say anything. After all, the current King of Qin is a dispensable person to the Qin State. , not many people took him seriously.

But if Ying Chen doesn't take this step, the problem will be huge.

The awkward position that Ying Chen is in will lead to two peaks of power in Qin as time goes by!And this trend cannot be controlled by him!
In the past, King Zhao Wuling had already demonstrated it to everyone!
When there are two apexes of power in a country, conflicts will inevitably break out. After all, who do you listen to?

Just as a person cannot have two heads, a country cannot have two kings.

Ying Chen's behavior over the years has shown that he has no interest in the throne of Qin, so he will never let himself fall into that embarrassing situation. The failure to fight this battle completely cut off the previous military relationship. Some little thoughts.

Ying Chen will only be Ying Chen, Chen is neither a minister nor a king.

"Xiangbang, is there really such a person in this world who can give up power so easily?"

Cai Yong couldn't understand Ying Chen's choice at all.

Once a person has experienced the pleasure brought by power, it is absolutely impossible to let it go!
Compared with power, the so-called wealth and reputation are nothing worth mentioning!
But why does that guy not take power seriously at all...

"You can't understand it, and I can't understand it either." Lu Buwei sighed.

How wonderful power is. He has been a businessman for half his life, and now he is a highly respected minister. He can best understand what it feels like!
Power is the most incurable poison in the world!
Once you taste it, you will never be able to put it down again!
However, Ying Chen, this alien, didn't seem to care about anything, as if... he had no desire.

"Xiangbang can't understand why Lord Luoyang is delaying to enter?"

In front of the door, a young child whose height was almost the same as Cheng Jiao suddenly spoke out.

"Gan Luo?" Lu Buwei looked confused.

Gan Luo is the grandson of Gan Mao. However, since Gan Mao left Qin to join Qi and died in Wei, this family that once dominated the Qin court has gradually declined.

Gan Luo was smart since he was a child. He came to his house three years ago under the arrangement of his father. Now he is only nine years old and a young concubine.

"Xiangbang, Mr. Luoyang seems to have a deep mind, but in fact, he is the most simple." Gan Luo said confidently.

"Simple?" Lu Buwei was stunned.

Is Ying Chen simple-minded?
"Of course it's not that simple." Gan Luo walked into the hall.

"As we all know, Master Bei Mingzi of the Taoist Tianzong is Luoyang Jun's teacher. Therefore, Luoyang Jun can be regarded as a half Taoist disciple. His thoughts are naturally close to Taoism, especially to the Tianzong."

"Then, it is easy to understand that he is indifferent to the throne of Qin that is right in front of him."

"Everyone thinks that Lord Luoyang has something to hide, but is there a possibility that he is just innocent and not interested?"
