Ying Zheng had never thought about exchanging protons with other countries, and he had thought about it before marrying five wives into the palace.
But Ying Zheng never expected that two of the five wives had just given birth, and the two sons were only three or four months old, and Chu would come to visit them, and the excuses they used were so clever.
Can Ying Zheng refuse?
sure.
However, after refusing, Chu State, especially Xiang Yan, will definitely seize this opportunity and use the Western Chu Army as an example to incite Chu people in Qin territory, including Mrs. Huayang, to rebel.
Regarding the current situation, Lu Buwei has just stepped down and the political situation is extremely delicate. This result will undoubtedly put Da Qin into an extremely passive situation.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Ying Zheng chose to give in and wait for one of the five ladies to give birth to her second son before exchanging protons with Chu.
This delay may not be delayed until how long.
As for Xiang Yan, she really came with determination.
The remnants of the Chu State that he recruited with his own hands finally formed an army, but they were defeated before he could do anything. This would not be easy on anyone.
When the King of Chu heard about this, he was also quite annoyed. If it wasn't for the fact that Nan Su had just given birth to the little prince, he might have directly fought against him, because the identity of the Western Chu sergeant was indeed too subtle.
Some ministers who did not advocate breaking up with Qin tried hard to persuade the King of Chu for a while, but the King of Chu gave up and immediately ordered Xiang Yan to come to Qin to ask for an explanation.
Xiang Yan has the support of King Chu behind him and Lord Changping in front of him to pave the way. Of course, he speaks forcefully.
Seeing that the King of Qin had made a promise, Xiang Yan also accepted it. After all, what he wanted was entirely the interests of the Chu State.
"Since the King of Qin is so forthright, I will not delay." Xiang Yan said, "However, I am afraid that Xiang will not be able to make his own decisions regarding this specific matter. I would also like to ask the King of Qin to write a letter to discuss this matter with my king."
"Hahaha, okay, I will write my credentials now." Although Ying Zheng's face was smiling, there was a twitch in his heart.
Thinking that in the future, one of his sons would go to Chu State to be a hostage, Ying Zheng felt bitter, sad, regretful and helpless intertwined, forming a knot.
After writing the letter of credence vigorously, Ying Zheng handed it to Xiang Yan.
"General Xiang, are you still discussing private matters?" Ying Zheng spoke calmly and seemed to have regained his composure.
Xiang Yan put away the credentials and said, "As for private matters, I would like to ask the King of Qin to allow foreign ministers to pay a visit to the Western Chu Army."
"Of course there is no problem with this." Ying Zheng turned to look at Changping Jundao, "Then Lao Xiangbang will accompany General Xiang for a walk."
After Lord Changping responded, the two of them excused themselves and exited the gate.
After the two left, Ying Zheng sat there alone for a long time.
After the dinner, Ying Zheng came to Hu Yu's palace.
During this period, because the other three ladies were all pregnant, the task of serving King Qin naturally fell on Nan Su and Hu Yu.
Needless to say, Nan Su naturally had a second son. He would also have half of the Mi family's blood. Even if he really went to Chu to be a hostage, the King of Chu would not do anything to him. On the contrary, if it was Nan Su's son, Chu The king may not necessarily let him go back, because the king of Qin knew that the king of Chu would not do anything to the proton, so how could he be afraid.
Today, Xiang Yan asked Ying Zheng for Nan Su and Fu Su. Ying Zheng was mainly reluctant to leave Nan Su, fearing that Nan Su would never come back, so he thought of a way to use his second son as a hostage candidate.
Compared with Nansu, Hu Yu's situation is very embarrassing.
The other three ladies are all first-born children, so naturally they are not among the candidates for the time being. And during this period, only Nan Su and Hu Yu were sleeping with them.
Therefore, the most likely possibility at present is that the second son reborn by Hu Yu was sent to Chu State as a proton.
"Your Majesty." Hu Yu looked at Ying Zheng and called softly, "What are you thinking about."
"Oh." Ying Zheng came back to his senses, smiled and said, "It's nothing. I talked about state affairs with Xiang Yan of Chu State today. From what he said, Chu State also wants to form an alliance with us."
"The Chu State also wants to form an alliance?" Hu Yu widened his eyes and said, "Could it be that they are jealous when they see the king forming an alliance with the Zhao State?"
"This is different." Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "Zhao State, I have sincerely formed an alliance with it. Although it is a request from your father, it can be regarded as a fair deal. As for the Chu State, , but because of what happened to the Western Chu Army, I was caught by the King of Chu."
"Is the king forced?" Hu Yu asked.
Ying Zheng nodded.
"If the king is not willing, then he will not agree to them." Hu Yu said with a little anger, "I don't think there is anyone in the world who can force the king."
Hu Yu's tone was quite confident, because now that Qin and Zhao had joined forces, even if the other five countries attacked, Qin and Zhao were not afraid at all.
"Actually, it doesn't count as being forced." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "If I tell you something, you must never tell anyone else, including Nansu, do you understand?"
Hu Yu nodded obediently.
Ying Zheng cleared his throat and lowered his voice and said: "Before, when you moved out of the palace, I used the temptation of a heavy reward to make Lord Changping lead the Western Chu army to guard the palace. In fact, I knew at that time that Western Chu What the army faces will definitely be a fierce battle."
"Because the besieged Changxin rebels must be trapped beasts still fighting, struggling to fight to the death. And the street fighting in this city must also be a close-quarters fight."
"But even so, if reinforcements are sent out as soon as possible, the Western Chu Army will definitely reduce its losses."
"But in that case, there is a high probability that Lao Ai will die in the rebel army. In order to capture Lao Ai alive, I have to order the Western Chu army to let Lao Ai go and then fight to the death against the remaining rebels."
Love reading books
"So, I do feel deeply guilty about the Western Chu Army."
Hu Yu listened to Ying Zheng's words, with a hint of surprise in his bright eyes: "It turns out that the king had predicted the outcome a long time ago. The king is really capable!"
Ying Zheng immediately covered the black line on his forehead.
Madam, your focus seems to be wrong!
"Of course these are the battle plans discussed with Mr. Ying Zheng," Ying Zheng explained.
Hu Yu then said thoughtfully: "I understand, in order to convince the Queen Mother and all the dignitaries of the fact of Lao Ai's rebellion, Lao Ai must be captured alive, and in order to capture Lao Ai alive, someone must hold him back." army."
A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face: "Yes, it seems that my beloved concubine has gained a lot of knowledge."
Hu Yu snorted coldly and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I have been practicing martial arts with many generals since I was a child. No matter how stupid I am, I have learned a lot through my ears and eyes."
"Haha." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I regret that I didn't let you come and take charge."
"Then... why don't you try it next time?" Hu Yu winked mischievously and said.
"Okay! I'll let you try it when you get the chance next time." Ying Zheng said playfully, "It's just that the west has abandoned its past feud with Rong Di, and the north has formed an alliance with your father. If the Chu Kingdom It’s better to make friends again, I’m afraid even if you want to give it a try, you won’t have a chance.”
Hu Yu curled his lips and said angrily: "It turns out that the king is entertaining his concubines again."
"Okay, okay." Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to hold Hu Yu's cattails, looked tenderly at Hu Yu's eyes as clear as blue waves, and said kindly, "Warriors are all men's business, and besides, I haven't done anything yet If you directly go into battle to kill the enemy, it will not be your harem's turn, otherwise, other countries will make fun of us, Da Qin, who has no one."
"Hmm..." Hu Yu fell into Ying Zheng's arms with a cry.
middle.
"As a woman, as long as you serve a good man and have a bunch of children, you will be fine." Ying Zheng glanced at Hu Yu and said.
"Just give birth." Hu Yu said with a smile, "I originally said that I would give birth to many princes and princesses for the king until all my teeth fall out and I can no longer bear children."
This sentence made Ying Zheng feel uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, do you like our Hu Hai?" Hu Yu asked
"Yes, I like it."
"Then, Your Majesty, tell me, will our Hu Hai be as smart, wise, brave and strong as his father when he grows up?" Hu Yu seemed to be looking forward to the way his child would look like a jade tree facing the wind when he grew up.
"Well...you can definitely be brave and strong, but it's hard to say how smart and wise you are." Ying Zheng murmured.
"Why?"
"Because I am worried that he will follow his mother."
"My lord, you are evil!"
…
The couple stayed together for a while, talking about their love.
"Your Majesty." Hu Yu suddenly left Ying Zheng's arms, sat up straight, and said solemnly, "Can you agree to my concubine's request?"
"Request?" Ying Zheng asked, "But when we competed for hunting, I agreed to your request."
"certainly not."
"Oh, I don't have to agree." Ying Zheng pretended not to care.
"Hmph!" Hu Yu curled his lips and said, "I have promised once before, why didn't I agree again this time?"
"What did I promise once?" Ying Zheng quickly searched for relevant memories.
Is it possible that Hu Yu wants some magic weapon?
Unexpectedly, Hu Yu chuckled and said: "What I said is the easiest thing to do, it is to give me a name, Your Majesty."
"Give me a name?"
"Well, before, Hu Hai's name was one of my concubine's names." Hu Yu said happily, "Then if my concubine is the next prince, she will also want to use my other name."
"You are so nervous, what do you think it is?" Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Then the other word, isn't it the word 'Y'?"
"Yes." Hu Yu said with his eyes wide open, "Since childhood, I have been particularly fond of all kinds of birds, especially the soaring eagle. The feeling of looking at the world and flying freely is really too great. It was wonderful. Later, when my father saw that my concubine liked to dress up like a bird, he changed my name to Hu Yu."
"It turns out that you got your name later." Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Then what was your original name?"
"I won't tell you!" Hu Yu turned his head.
"If you don't tell me, I won't give you a name." Ying Zheng was still teasing Hu Yu.
"Hmph! The worst case scenario is that I won't be born again." Hu Yu curled his lips and pretended to be angry.
Ying Zheng knew he couldn't defeat Hu Yu, so he quickly backed down and said, "Okay, isn't it just a name? What's the big deal? I have decided. If you have another young master, he will be named 'Yu'er'."
Hu Yu immediately showed a beautiful smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Yu'er, Yu'er..." Ying Zheng muttered, "This name can be used by both men and women. If he is a prince, he will be called Gongzi Yu, and if he is a princess, he will be called Princess Yu'er. How about that?"
"Yes!" Hu Yu nodded vigorously with joy and fell into Ying Zheng's arms again.
Hu Yu's rare charm was better than the neon lights after the rain, and Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel excited.
"Since the name has been given, it can't be done without a prince to take over." After saying that, Ying Zheng picked up Hu Yu and walked to the inner room.
With the beauty in my arms, all the concerns I had when I arrived were washed away by the passion and disappeared without a trace.
