When people were in Qin, the advantage was mine

Chapter 31 When you can’t control yourself

……

Rejected, Yan Chunjun left Luoyang Jun's Mansion.

The little idea failed after all.

If Ying Chen directly agreed to the alliance with the Yan State, it would be much easier for him to go to Lu Buwei next. After all, the military power of the Qin State is currently controlled by Ying Chen. Even if he is not in office, he has a man with a heavy army. Speaking of which, the weight is still very heavy.

But Ying Chen refused, or in other words, he made it clear that he couldn't do it.

Then the negotiations with Lu Buwei will definitely become much more difficult.

The State of Zhao is about to launch troops against the State of Yan, this is absolute!
This attack on Qin, the benefits that Zhao failed to get from Qin, will definitely be made up for by Yan and Qi. Although Qi is in ruins, its foundation as a great country is still there, but Yan is in tragedy. Facing the powerful The Yan State almost never defeated the Zhao State army.

In addition, after Changping ten years ago, Yan State took advantage of Zhao State's weakness and launched a backstab, but it got away with it. That incident made Zhao State hold a grudge against Yan State. Now that it cannot defeat Qin State, Zhao State must He will take action against Yan State.

If they cannot form an alliance with Qin to share the pressure from Zhao, the Yan State will be in dire straits.

……

"Letter from Yan State?"

In Xianyang Palace, Ying Chen came to fulfill his responsibilities as an uncle.

What should be taught must be taught. After all, Ying Zheng’s thoughts grew up in an enemy country environment like Handan. His character is already relatively deep. After experiencing the pleasure brought by power, Ying Zheng’s control of power Desire gradually emerged.

Ying Chen saw it clearly, but he didn't stop it because he knew very well that it couldn't be stopped.

A person's yearning for fame and wealth will always be there until he obtains these things, and anyone who prevents him from pursuing these things will definitely be regarded as an enemy!

King Zhao Wuling had already demonstrated it to everyone back then, not to test people's hearts.

Naturally, Ying Chen would not cause trouble for himself. After all, the core of the conflict is interest. As long as he and Ying Zheng have no conflict of interest, this kind of fatherly and filial atmosphere can continue.

What Ying Zheng wants is power, success and the satisfaction of his desire for control.

And what Ying Chen wants is just fun.

"Your friend from Yan State in Handan?"

Ying Chen asked knowingly.

During this period of time, Lu Buwei had not given Yan Chunjun a clear answer, and the uncle Wang of Yan simply stayed in Xianyang and refused to leave. After all, if he could not get the alliance from Qin, he would suffer even if he went back.

"Ji Dan, everyone also calls him Yan Dan. When he was in Handan, he was also a rare chivalrous person among our protons."

Speaking of Yan Dan, Ying Zheng's mood changed significantly.

After all, they are one of the few friends in a dangerous place like Handan.

People always have some special feelings for friends who have been with them through thick and thin.

"So?" Ying Chen asked.

"Are you going to accept the alliance with Yan State for the sake of this friendship?"

Ying Zheng was stunned, "Shouldn't Qin form an alliance with Yan now?"

Ying Chen shook his head, "I'm not against alliance, but I want to know whether you think you should form an alliance with Yan from the perspective of Qin State, or whether you plan to accept it mainly because of your friend and your friendship. An alliance with Yan State."

"Don't lie, that's important."

"..."

Ying Zheng was silent for a while, then raised his head, "Because of Yan Dan."

Now Ying Zheng has just succeeded to the throne, and with Ying Chen's help over the years, Lu Buwei has not been able to dominate the court. Zhao Ji still maintains a loving mother and filial piety with him. Cheng Jiao has also been influenced by Ying Chen and has no interest in the throne. Therefore, Ying Zheng is under a lot less pressure, or in other words, he has almost no pressure at all, and his thoughts are naturally more in line with the mentality of a teenager, rather than as some wise people think, a teenage child has such deep thoughts. The mind is like a person born perfect.

"Then you should form an alliance with Yan because of the current situation of Qin State, and now it is just a favor, or just because this friend needs your help." Ying Chen asked again.

"I...I didn't think about it that much." Ying Zheng looked a little guilty.

"Is it because of friends?" Ying Chen's expression remained unchanged.

This is actually normal. Ying Zheng hasn't really understood what power is yet.

The core of power is interests. Only those who can give benefits to others have power. The more benefits a person can give, the greater his power. Why powerful ministers in history can wield power and cover the sky with one hand is because they can give The interests exceed those of the emperor.

In other words, the extent of power is determined by the interests it can arouse, not by its identity.

But many people mistakenly believe that as long as he has that identity, he has power.If this is really the case, then, how about Donghan Kindergarten?
"You have to know your identity." Ying Chen patted Ying Zheng on the shoulder.

"You are the King of Qin. When you exercise the power of King Qin, you have to think about issues as King Qin, not as Ying Zheng."

"One is public and the other is private. Even if you are the King of Qin, you cannot use public power for private purposes. As the leader of a country, you should give priority to the interests of the country in everything you do, rather than following your personal will."

"King, it is power but also responsibility. Don't just focus on exercising power and forget your responsibility."

"When you can't control yourself, just think about how King Zhou You played tricks on the princes and played with himself."

"Think about his fate, he will die without a burial place~"

"..."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and a chill ran down his back.

"I haven't done anything yet, have I?"

To the Qin State, he, the King of Qin, is just like the mascot Ying Chen mentioned before. He only wears a pendant and has no real power.

"I'm just reminding you." Ying Chen shrugged.

"Squandering power is very addictive. Once addicted, it will be out of control, just like an avalanche. Once it starts, it will never stop."

"Don't think that you have strong self-control. Those kings who squandered their power and destroyed their country also thought so."

Ying Zheng's eyes twitched wildly, "Are you trying to persuade me or are you cursing me?"

"Didn't you know that there is a kind of remonstrance called sarcastic remonstrance?" Ying Chen said confidently.

"If a dog bites Lu Dongbin, it doesn't know a good heart, so~"

"..." Ying Zheng.

Can't you really restrain your mouth a little?

Can you save some face for me?

"Then the alliance with Yan State..." Ying Zheng was a little unsure now.

After all, Prime Minister Lu Buwei has never agreed, and Ying Chen, who holds military power, has not agreed either. So, could there be some problem that he didn't see?Is it not suitable for Qin to form an alliance with Yan now?
"Tie it up." Ying Chen looked like a fool.

"Don't you know how to make friends from far away and attack from close range?"

"..." Ying Zheng.

"Then why haven't you agreed?"

It's almost winter, and the envoys from the other countries have gone back long ago. Only Yan Chunjun has been staying here, and now even Yan Dan has come to play the friendship card with him.

"Are you stupid?" Ying Chen looked strange.

"The State of Yan has just summoned the coalition forces to come and fight against the State of Qin. Although they have not started fighting, this time the State of Yan sends troops to unilaterally tear up its alliance with the State of Qin."

"What does it mean if I agree easily now?"

"He can form an alliance if he wants to, and fight if he wants to? Does he really think he is a nobody? Does Qin have no face?"

"Then when will we get married?" Ying Zheng is not stupid. Ying Chen said it so straightforwardly, so he would naturally understand.

Ying Chen stretched out and said, "Don't worry, wait until Zhao Guo beats Yan Guo."

"Without getting hurt or suffering, they won't cherish this covenant."

"It just so happens that you can also take this opportunity to test what kind of identity you have in the heart of that friend from Yan State."

"Test?" Ying Zheng had a bad feeling.

Ying Chen straightened up, "Just tell him, Lu Buwei and I control the government, and you, the King of Qin, are just a decoration. Although you really want to agree to this, neither of us takes you seriously."

"Just cry to him and tell him how aggrieved you are as the King of Qin, and then look at his reaction. Will he comfort you, or will he openly help you with suggestions? In fact, he will sow discord in a weird way, hoping that you will find a way to cause trouble. Get up and muddy the waters of Qin."

"If he is just comforting you, it means that he does treat you as a friend. However, if he is upright and thinks of ways to help you seize power... Tsk, then you really have a good friend."

"..."
