The younger brother of the First Emperor

Chapter 59: Zichu Wants His Brother to Become a General

Qin Qi was not in a hurry this time.

He waited for Qin's Ying Zheng to stand up and walk to the end of the team.

He just stood there and looked at Qin Zichu, his cold eyes filled with burning anger.

He is not in a hurry, and the old abbot is even less anxious.

He closed his eyes, leaned on a crutch, and looked calm and composed.

The longer it drags on, the lower the morale will be, and the more ways the prince will be able to come up with to deal with it.

It was the royal family members below who broke the silence.

"Qin Yiren, you handed the Tiger Treasure of Hangu Pass, which is related to the safety of our Qin State, to a child. How can a person who disregards the country be the crown prince of our Qin State?"

"Your two sons killed the prince of Zhao and lost the great cause, which led to Zhao transferring General Li Mu back to Handan to attack our country. What do you have to say about it?"

"Need I say more? A seven-year-old kid and a nine-year-old kid dared to kill the prince of Zhao? It's obvious that Qin Yiren secretly communicated with Zhao and wanted to destroy our Qin! This gave Zhao an excuse to attack!"

"The State of Zhao has sent an envoy to the State of Dong Zhou, asking the Duke of Dong Zhou to intervene and seek justice. They want to ally with the six states of Shandong to attack our State of Qin. Do you know Qin Yiren?"

"..."

The prince's brothers called him "stranger" again and again, and were disgusted with the prince for changing his name to "Zichu" in order to gain the throne.

The throne of Qin was won through fighting, scrambling, and killing, but it was not won through conspiracy, intrigue, or flattery.

He wore Chu clothes and sang Li Sao to please a Chu woman, recognized Lady Huayang as his mother, and even changed his name to "Zichu".

Zichu Zichu, which means Chuzi in reverse, means the son of Chu!

She considered herself the queen mother and was extremely respectful to Madam Huayang.

He ignored his biological mother Xia Ji and did not pay his respects to her for several years.

Is this the Son of Man?

Become the crown prince?

They are not convinced!

Weiyang Lord Qin Qi, the eldest brother of all the royal family members, walked up to the prince.

"Qin Yiren, what else do you have to say?"

The prince sighed and looked at his brothers with pity.

"Alas!
"When the previous king was alive, the Battle of Changping nearly destroyed the State of Zhao. He later called himself the Western Emperor. Which of the princes dared not to come?
"It's been less than three months since the death of the late king, and our Qin State is actually beginning to be afraid of even the Zhao State? Is it beginning to be afraid of the six countries uniting?
"That's right, I was the one who gave the Tiger Tally of Hangu Pass. But I didn't give it to my son Chengjiao, but to Lü Buwei!
"It was also me who ordered the killing of the Prince of Zhao."

Qin Zichu rushed down with a few big strides, pulled his eldest son Ying Zheng to the front, and tore off his clothes.

The scar that almost completely covered the skin was now in front of the eyes of the clan members, causing most of them to frown.

Qin Zichu had tears in his eyes.

"I, Qin Zichu, am the crown prince of Qin! Zhao treats my son like this! Do they take Qin seriously? I killed him, the prince of Zhao, for revenge and to establish the prestige of Qin. Don't let Zhao think that they are afraid of him!"

There was silence.

The Qin State was proud, and Qin Zichu's response was very Qin-like.

Qin Qi sneered, his face flushed blue, and he looked a bit ferocious in the candlelight.

"What a sharp tongue! Is the Crown Prince of Qin only capable of sophistry?

"Since the battle of Handan, our Qin State has lost 400,000 men and has not yet recovered.

"You said we are afraid of Zhao and the coalition of six nations. Haha, you are not afraid! Of course you are not afraid!
"You have lived in Zhao for many years and have already become a Zhao citizen! You want the Qin to perish!"

Weiyang Jun started, and someone immediately responded, his words full of sarcasm. "You gave the Hangu Tiger Tally to a lowly merchant? Qin Yiren, if you gave it to your son, you would still have some excuses.

"How dare you give the Hangu Pass Tiger Tally to Lü Buwei! Lü Buwei is a businessman! Businessmen value profit! Aren't you afraid that he will sell Hangu Pass to the State of Zhao?
"Or, that's what you originally thought!"

A royal family member with a scar on his forehead was filled with indignation.

“I almost got tricked by this bastard!
"There was a flood in Guanzhong, and the crops were gone.

"Shu wants to build Dujiangyan, but it is short of soldiers, food and people. How many times has Li Bing come to petition for it?

"All of this is caused by the death of the previous king and the chaos caused by you, a young man, acting as regent!
"With internal troubles everywhere, if you execute the prince of Zhao at this time, you will lose your reputation and give Zhao an excuse to attack, thus bringing in external troubles.

"You still have the nerve to speak so arrogantly here, claiming that you are promoting the power of the Qin State. I am promoting your ancestors!"

The old patriarch suddenly opened his eyes.

"What do you mean!"

The scarred man slapped himself twice.

"I was so impatient and spoke so hastily. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Everyone criticized Qin Zichu for a long time and was determined to take him away from the position of crown prince.

Ying Chengjiao seemed to be waiting quietly on the surface, but in fact he was accumulating strength and observing his father all the time.

As soon as his father saw that he had stopped struggling and loosened his strength, he rushed out and messed up the ancestral tablets!
When the time comes, the clan leader will expel him from the family tree and can end the family affair by reorganizing the ancestral tablets.

As long as the door of the ancestral temple is opened, these uncles will be unable to do anything to my father.

It’s difficult to see my father, let alone get together with him.

Qin Qi turned around and faced the crowd with his swollen face, and the noise gradually died down.

He passed by the prince, who was lowering his head and keeping silent, and bumped into him hard with his shoulder, almost knocking him down.

He turned a blind eye, as if he hadn't bumped into him, walked up to Qin Wangzhu, bowed, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, please reappoint the crown prince!"

When Qin Wangzhu was about to answer Qin Qi's words, his mind withdrew a little from his grandson, and his hands involuntarily loosened their strength.

Ying Chengjiao was waiting for this moment. He rushed out like a rabbit and headed straight for the altar.

The mission failed and he was arrested again.

The prince reached out and hugged the second son in his arms, knocked him hard on the head, and signaled with his eyes that the second son should not mess around.

Qin Wangzhu's sorrow and joy came too quickly, and he could not bear it. He covered his heart and took two breaths, saying:

"Zi Chu, what do you have to say?"

The prince was strong and able to answer the questions while restraining the restless second son.

"Your Majesty, I don't think I did anything wrong.

"After the death of the previous king, all the countries were eyeing our Qin State covetously. The Internal History Office has captured at least 800 spies from the six countries, if not a thousand.

"Beheading the prince of Zhao and shocking other countries, what's wrong with that?"

Qin Qi said, "Pooh!"
"Still quibbling! Let me ask you! What will we do if the army approaches?"

Qin Zichu was not in a hurry.

“Meet him and kill him.

"My elder brother has always been both wise and brave. Zichu wants to make you a general. What do you think?"
