The younger brother of the First Emperor

Chapter 131 I want you, Yan State, to have Qin crossbows flying like locusts and Qin swords falling like rain

In the afternoon, around 3:30 pm.

Palace of Prince Yan, Pleasure Hall.

Both sides of the hall.

There were musicians beating drums and playing the zither, and they were all beauties.

The center of the hall.

Beauty sings and beauty dances.

At the top, Prince Xi of Yan was leaning back in his chair.

With one hand on the armrest of the chair, he placed the other on his thigh, tapping lightly with his index finger.

He hummed a Yan folk song, closed his eyes and dozed off, his head swaying gently to the sound of drums and music, looking contented.

He seemed so absorbed that he did not see the child who had been brought in.

The heat wave was overwhelming. Ying Chengjiao, who was wearing a bearskin coat, had a stern face and sat on the ground by himself.

He took off his coat.

Prince Xi of Yan didn't look at him, and he didn't look at Prince Xi of Yan either.

He leaned against a pillar and closed his eyes, reflecting on his failed escape.

He admitted that he underestimated the power of the state.

Even though Yan State was located in a remote corner and ranked second to last among the seven major powers in the Warring States Period, it was more than enough to control him alone.

Before he reached the Yi River, Prince Dan of Yan caught up with him.

A mile away, the ground trembled and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.

The 600,000 Yan troops were no match for the 130,000 Zhao troops, and the 6,000 Yan troops chased Ying Chengjiao to the point where he had no way out.

Gai Nie and his followers wanted to fight their way out.

Tian Guang gathered hundreds of heroes from the Yan area and waited at Yishui. Upon hearing that he was caught, he sent people to pass the message, wanting to attack the Yan army and help him escape.

The Qin elite soldiers he brought from Xianyang and the Zhao soldiers he brought from Handan were mixed into a battle formation, hoping to have a real fight with the Yan army.

Many people wanted to fight, but Ying Chengjiao didn't want to.

Only when you actually face thousands of cavalrymen can you understand how powerful the pressure is.

There's no way we can win.

At that moment, Ying Chengjiao began to doubt the historical King of Chu.

It is said that Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout the ages.

Ten thousand enemies, right? Come and try charging at six thousand cavalrymen?

The saddles these cavalrymen rode on were just simple cushions. They did not have the later high-bridge saddles to secure the body, nor did they have stirrups to use as leverage. Most of them could not free their hands to draw the bow and arrow.

But with just the spears and lances in his hands, Ying Chengjiao couldn't imagine anyone who would not be pierced into heroic pieces after charging forward.

Six thousand people, sixty thousand people, six hundred thousand people.

It's just a number when people speak, and it's just a number when they write on bamboo slips.

But in reality, when these soldiers were actually lined up in front of him, it was a huge pressure.

Ying Chengjiao really doubted how Lian Po won the battle with only 130,000 troops against 600,000.

The value of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period was raised ten levels in Ying Chengjiao's heart. That's really awesome.

Not long ago, he helped Le Jian successfully escape from the State of Yan.

When he was a child, he heard people around him say that King Zhao wanted to kill his father Qin Zichu to vent his anger after the Battle of Changping, so Lu Buwei took his father and fled Zhao State overnight.

In his previous life, he read in a book that King Zhaoxiang of Qin was hunting down Mengchangjun Tian Wen, and Tian Wen fled from Qin overnight.

These three things made him think that the whole world was just a big makeshift team, and the will of the kings of the Warring States Period was just like that, and even a single person could not be killed.

It turns out that he thought less...

The boy changed his sitting position and felt that this was not a bad thing as he had grown a little.

"What you learn from books is always shallow. You must practice it yourself to truly understand it." He recited softly.

After an unknown amount of time, the drums and music stopped.

Ying Chengjiao opened his eyes, and the tall figure of King Xi of Yan filled his entire field of vision.

"Prime Minister." The King of Yan smiled slightly, bent down, and stretched out his hand: "I am willing to share the world with you, sir. How do you think?"

King Xi of Yan was very confident.

Even King Zhao, who was famous throughout the world and regarded as a wise ruler by his contemporaries, did not say that he would share the world with Guo Wei.

I am so courageous, why shouldn't a little boy like you bow down to me?
Little boy, close your eyes again...

King Xi of Yan bent down and stretched out his hand, his face quickly turned red, and his anger was evident in his words.

This is humiliation, naked humiliation.

He was a king, but was ignored and humiliated by a seven-year-old boy. It was a great shame!
He reached out and grabbed Ying Chengjiao's collar, lifted him up like a chicken, and held him in front of him.

He tilted his head slightly and said viciously in a tone that he thought was gentle:

"I know that you participated in Le Jian's escape. I let Le Jian escape on purpose.

"I executed the Prince of Changguo just for you.

"I just want you to know that if you dare to run away, you will suffer the same fate!

"Qin is guilty of conspiracy and other crimes, and of shielding and other crimes.

"In Qin, you will die.

"The little girl next to you will be thrown into the military camp as a prostitute, being slept with by thousands of men, and finally her body will be rotten and thrown into the wild to feed the bears and wolves!
“But in Yan State, I will not pursue your crime, nor will I harm your women.

"I allow you to continue to serve as prime minister and to share the world with you. What a great favor this is to you.
"In the ancient and modern world, among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, including Yu the Great and Tang the Great, is there anyone as virtuous as me?

"Don't be ungrateful, it's very easy for me to kill you.

"Open your eyes and talk to me."

King Yan used his other hand to pat the boy's cheek.

Not too light or too heavy, but with a "piapia" sound.

Ying Chengjiao opened his eyes.

King Yan smiled happily.

He stood up straight, threw his head back and laughed.

"That's right! Hahaha..."

Ying Chengjiao stretched his cheeks, pursed his lips, squinted his eyes, aimed, and spit into Yan Wangxi's wide-open mouth.

"hetui!"

Entered.

King Yan's laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes opened as big as copper bells, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He swung his hand violently, throwing the boy to the ground.

He was disgusting, very disgusting.

This nausea even reminded him of painful memories from his childhood - his father forced him to eat raw meat in the name of training his will.

He vomited again and again on the ground, just like when he was a child.

In his ears was the sound of "hahahahahaha", the same as his father's laughing sound.

He glared at the boy with murderous intent.

Ying Chengjiao, who clearly felt the murderous intent, fell down and his body was in great pain, as if it was about to fall apart.

But he laughed very happily.

"Why doesn't the king laugh?" The young man laughed: "Don't you like laughing?"

"How dare you, you brat!" King Yan happily touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, intending to chop off the noisy guy.

The young man saw it and smiled it off, still smiling freely.

He got up from the ground, approached King Yan, and said with a smile:

"If I die here, the King of Qin will make your Qin crossbows fly like locusts and your Qin swords fall like rain. Do you believe it?"

The inn was the courtyard where Ying Chengjiao had been imprisoned for a long time.

Bai Wuxia's face was icy cold, but her hands were gentle and delicate as she gently rubbed the medicine on the boy's body.

The last time she saw the boy injured was in Xianyang Prison, where he suffered internal injuries.

This time the injury was a traumatic injury and was much lighter than the previous one.

But the girl was far angrier than before.

"You are so arrogant! You have to meet the King of Yan alone!"

Ying Chengjiao buried his head in the pillow.

"I was wrong. Next time I will definitely bring my good mentor with me."

The girl bit her lips with her pearly teeth, blood seeping out. She knew that even if she was there, the result would not be better.

She could only ensure that her apprentice would not be harmed before she died, but she could not protect her apprentice.

The boy didn't hear the girl's response. He turned his head to look at the girl's expression, then turned over and sat up.

He chuckled evilly and used his dragon claw hand.

"If Wuxia feels guilty, just let me grab it twice."

The girl didn't stop him, and he caught it.

The boy blinked and went to undress the girl.

It doesn't feel good through clothes. If you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you'd be a bastard.

The girl looked into the boy's eyes and still did not stop him.

"Do you have any other plans?"

The outer garment was unbuttoned, and the boy lifted up his underwear.

"Yes, yes, what a big...plan! I have a big plan!"

"What is it?"

"Wrapping this bandage so tightly will affect growth... huh? What?"

"What is your grand plan?"

The young man dove his head into the water and nearly suffocated himself.

At this time, the young man had no ideas in his mind, only dissatisfaction with his age.

[How come I am still seven years old!]
The boy does not have the worries of the girl, and he never fights alone.

Yanwang Palace.

The doctor led him into a palace led by the eunuch.

Inside the palace, Prince Xi of Yan was sitting on a chair.

Apart from the serving palace maids and eunuchs, there were no other officials in the banquet.

Jiang Qu was a little puzzled. Why was he summoned privately?
Years ago, when the whole court was calling for an attack on Zhao, there were two people who stopped the King of Yan from attacking Zhao.

One is Lejian and the other is Jiangqu.

When Zhao won and Yan lost, he put Qu in prison and then released him, which did not please King Yan.

Le Jian fled to Zhao State, and the Prince of Changguo was executed.

Jiang Qu had already written a suicide note and was waiting for the soldiers of Yan State to kill him.

What arrived was not soldiers but eunuchs.

He walked three steps away from King Yan and bowed respectfully.

"Meet the king."

King Yan had a gloomy expression as he looked at General Qu, the only one who had predicted the direction of the war correctly.

"Is there any hope for me?"

Jiang Qu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the king said such a thing, and did not respond immediately.

King Yan took a deep breath.

"General, I want to use that boy from Qin to recruit talented people. I cannot make you my prime minister, but I can make you my fake prime minister.

"That bastard has been locked up by me and taken back to the post station. From now on, you will exercise the power of the prime minister.

"Before the attack on Zhao, you were the only one in the court who opposed it. You are right, I know you have talent.

"Now tell me how I can conquer Yan."

Jiang Qu had three wrinkles on his forehead. He looked at the gloomy Yan Wangxi and said in a deep voice:

"Are you asking this of me sincerely, Your Majesty?"

King Yan laughed at himself.

He didn't dare draw the sword at his waist and chop off the guy's head.

What is hidden in the sheath is not only the sword, but also his arrogance.

"Yes."

"What if I want to vindicate Lord Changguo?"

"I will do whatever the generals and ministers say."

Take a deep breath.

Only then did he believe that the Prince of Yan, who was willing to listen to advice and discuss matters with court officials, had returned.

Although I came back a little late.

The entire family of Changguo Lord Lejian was killed yesterday. Prime Minister Ying Chengjiao escaped yesterday and was captured today.

At this moment, the loyal people in the court dared not speak, while the treacherous people were smiling.

After some time, when people in the world heard that the newly promoted great sage Chang'an Jun Ying Chengjiao was forcibly captured and detained in Yan State, who would dare to come?
He closed his eyes painfully.

For the sake of Yan State, he will throw away his conscience.

Only by putting all the blame on Le Jian who fled from Yan State can the reputation of King Yan be restored and Yan be strengthened!
Lejian's escape was a betrayal, and the great sage Chang'an Jun left because he was bewitched by Lejian.

"Please write it in cursive script! Send it to Lejian! Announce it to the world!"

Tell him about it and let the King of Yan write it down.

Soon, the bamboo slips were filled with words and the ink was dry.

[During the reign of King Zhou of Shang, Ji Zi was not appointed to a position of office, but he dared to offend the king and gave frank and unremitting advice, hoping that King Zhou would listen to him.]

[Shang Rong was banished for advising King Zhou. Although he was insulted, he still hoped that King Zhou would change his ways.]

[When the people's hearts were broken, the prisoners in prisons escaped one after another, and the country was beyond salvation, these two gentlemen resigned from their posts and lived in seclusion.]

【Therefore, King Zhou was given a bad name for his cruelty, but the two gentlemen did not lose their reputation for loyalty and nobility. Why? Because they fulfilled their duty to serve the king and the country.】

[Although I am stupid, I am not as cruel as King Zhou of Shang. Although the people of Yan are unstable, they are not as serious as the people of Shang.]

[But you presented the map of my Yan State to Zhao State, intending to lead Zhao State's soldiers to fight back to Ji, and even tricked Chang'an Jun into going with you.]

[When there is a dispute within the family, instead of expressing one's own opinion, one drags his brothers and sisters to tell the neighbors, and brings the neighbors to the house to drive the owner away. Is this the right thing to do? ]

[You have committed the crime of treason, treason clan. ]

[Although I feel sorry for this, I can only issue the order of clan execution with tears in my eyes in order to ensure that those loyal people can get the due rewards and to ensure that there are fewer treacherous people in the future so that the country can be stable.]

[Although Chang'an Jun is virtuous, he is young and was fooled by you for a while.]

[After I return, I have learned of your sinister intentions and am willing to continue to stay in Yan State as prime minister.]

[If you don't enter Yan territory, I won't hunt you down. I hope you can be a virtuous person like Chang'an Jun in the future, stay in Zhao and be loyal, and don't betray or rebel again. ]

This letter was sent from Ji.

With the help of the Yan government, the content of the letter became known to everyone before Le Jian, who had followed Le Yi to Qin, even received the letter.

Le Jian knew about this letter from the King of Qin in the court of Qin...

Qin Palace, Central Palace, and Front Hall of Xin Palace.

Prince Chu of Qin read the letter from the King of Yan to Le Jian expressionlessly and looked away.

"It turns out that Le Jian's coming to Qin was a second betrayal."

Just as Lejian was about to stand up to defend himself, several people sitting in the front row stood up almost one after another.

The old general, Bie Gong, bowed and asked for the order:
"Damn it! They're bullying the Second Young Master!
"Your Majesty! I, your humble servant, ask to attack Yan!
"He was beaten into a state of being a bird by Lian Po, so why would he do anything?"

Tingwei Huayang Bufei narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Chang'an Jun is definitely not what King Yan said in the letter! He must be imprisoned in Yan State!
"I ask the king to issue an order, ordering the King of Yan to hand over Lord Chang'an!

"I am the prince of Qin, and I am imprisoned in the small country of Yan. Where is my dignity?"

For a time, there were many different opinions.

Le Jian was sitting at the back, looking a little dazed.

It was clearly a letter written to him, a letter slandering him. Why were all the top civil and military officials in Qin talking about Prince Chengjiao...

[This kid...Prince Chengjiao, is he so powerful in the Qin State?]
[Then why isn’t this crown prince Gongzi Chengjiao…]
Lejian looked at Crown Prince Ying Zheng.

Crown Prince Ying Zheng was young but majestic. He lifted his buttocks from the small chair and knelt directly on the steps.

"Your Majesty, please save Lord Chang'an!"

Lejian was a little confused. Are these brothers so close?

Prince Chu of Qin did not look at his son but at Lu Buwei.

"What does the Prime Minister say?"

Lu Buwei slowly stood up from his chair, his eyes and eyebrows sharp.

"beat!"
