My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 819: She is just stupid, not bad! It's useless, don't think about it, just give up!
All the court officials were stunned.

They had been trying to persuade him for more than an hour but still made no progress, but Ying Chengjiao made Ying Zheng compromise with just a few words? !

Although Ying Zheng still did not have a clear attitude to promote filial piety, the fact that Ying Zheng was willing to bring Ying Chengjiao to meet Zhao Ji was already a huge progress!

For a moment, the looks some court officials gave Ying Chengjiao kept changing.

Chang'an Jun is indeed good at lobbying!
Ying Chengjiao turned his head and looked at the court officials, frowning slightly: "What are you looking at?"

"I just want to have a taste of the delicacy. Based on my merits, I beg you to take me to a place to satisfy my craving. What's wrong with that?"

Lü Buwei stroked his beard and smiled, "That is exactly what I meant!"

Ying Chengjiao nodded happily: "I think so too!"

"What were you discussing with the King just now? Just continue."

Continue with what?
Should we continue to let those idiots destroy the good situation that Ying Chengjiao has worked so hard to achieve?

Lü Buwei stood up, bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "It has been a long time since the court meeting today. The officials of each government office must have been waiting anxiously in the government office."

"I think we should first adjourn the court and let the ministers govern the country."

Ying Zheng nodded grimly and said, "Yes!"

All the court officials stood up and bowed, "We will take our leave!"

After all the ministers left the imperial study, Ying Zheng waved his hand and ordered all the eunuchs and palace maids to leave.

Ying Chengjiao personally closed the door of the imperial study, turned around and cast a resentful look at Ying Zheng: "Brother, do you really think that I am a peacemaker or elder sister?"

"I am a great general who killed many people! The kind who killed so many people!"

"Look at what the brothers are doing after their triumphant return."

"First, we need to mediate the conflict between my elder brother and the prime minister, and then we need to mediate the conflict between my elder brother and the queen mother."

"If this matter were to get out, I'm afraid my former enemies would laugh to death!"

Ying Chengjiao knew very well that Ying Zheng did not invite Ying Chengjiao to the palace to debate with him.

But I am here to help Ying Zheng move the ladder!

Ying Zheng dug out a wine jar and two wine cups from the cabinet at the back, broke the seals and filled the cups with wine, then asked in a slightly awkward voice, "Did you see all this, brother?"

Ying Chengjiao walked straight up to the stage and sat down opposite Ying Zheng. He unceremoniously grabbed the wine cup that belonged to him and drank it all in one gulp.

Exhaling a breath of alcohol, Ying Chengjiao said speechlessly: "General Gao, the charioteer, came to my house in person to invite me into the palace. On the surface, he asked me to rebuke the ministers and not allow them to force the king like this, but in his words, he asked me to persuade my elder brother."

"Is this something he is qualified to say?"

"How could I not know that this was my elder brother's work?"

"Look at how much my elder brother has been working hard for the Kanto region recently, and he has even let the prime minister do what he wants, waiting for the Kanto scholars to start trouble."

"How can I not know what my elder brother wishes?"

Lu Buwei's wrist was indeed tough and his methods were indeed powerful.

But in today's Qin Dynasty, no matter how tough Lu Buwei is, he is not as tough as Ying Zheng!
Even if Ying Chengjiao did not guess Ying Zheng's thoughts through his past life memories, Madam Han had already guessed Ying Zheng's thoughts through the situation in the world, the trends in the court and Ying Zheng's goals.

Ying Zheng poured wine for Ying Chengjiao and sighed: "The one who understands me is my younger brother!"

"Brother, I really don't think you have done anything wrong, and I really don't want to pardon the Queen Mother's crime."

"Just for the sake of stability in Guandong, my brother had no choice but to pardon the Queen Mother's crime, so that he could gain a reputation of being filial and be praised by the people of Guandong!"

"Ah!" Ying Zheng drank the wine from the cup to the bottom, then slammed the cup heavily on the table and sighed, "What can I do?"

Ying Chengjiao carefully considered his tone and said, "I think..."

As soon as Ying Chengjiao opened his mouth, Ying Zheng's eyes swept over him: "For matters like governing the people, there is no need for me to lead the army!"

Ying Chengjiao:ヽ(`)ノ

Ying Chengjiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Brother, do you think I am such a reckless person?"

"I just thought that if you really don't want to, there is no need to welcome the Queen Mother back to govern the Kanto area."

"I actually think that the real benefit of this move is to welcome back the Queen Mother, and the governance of Kanto is just a small matter."

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao in surprise, his voice tinged with anger: "Not a bad thing?"

"The Queen Mother and the villains have raised an army to rebel, and they are even trying to kill me!"

"Is it not a bad thing for me to welcome back the Queen Mother?"

"This is indeed a great evil!"

evil!
It's so disgusting!

Ying Chengjiao shrugged: "The Queen Mother has no interest in government affairs, let alone fighting for power. She is just letting her subordinates use her name to seek personal gain."

"Although the Queen Mother is quite...liberal, her preferences are easily satisfied, and she will not ruin the Qin Empire for her own selfish interests."

"The Queen Mother colluded with Lao Ai to cause chaos, but you and I both know that the Queen Mother knew nothing about Lao Ai's actions until he started his rebellion." "The Queen Mother is just stupid, not bad!!!"

"If compared with the Queen Mother of Qi (the mother of King Jian of Qi), Queen Mother Wang is naturally far inferior."

“But if compared with the Queen Mother Xuan of Qin and other queen mothers, Queen Mother Wang seems quite rare.”

"We can welcome back the Queen Mother who is completely harmless to my eldest brother. Maybe we can even restore some family ties. Why not do it?"

In Ying Chengjiao's opinion, Zhao Ji's biggest problem is her stupidity!

Zhao Ji never thought of killing Ying Zheng. After all, no matter which of Zhao Ji's children became the King of Qin, Zhao Ji would be the Queen Mother.

Zhao Ji didn't even think about competing for power in Ying Zheng's hands. She really didn't want to wield power and only liked to wield handsome men.

But Zhao Ji's stupidity allowed those who attached themselves to Zhao Ji to possess Zhao Ji's name, and they were able to use Zhao Ji's name to compete with Ying Zheng for power, and even try to kill Ying Zheng!
Naturally, everything that Zhao Ji's ministers did would be blamed on Zhao Ji.

The most stupid thing Zhao Ji did was that she dared to give birth to Lao Ai's child!
The Queen Dowager Xuan, who was in power, did not dare to have children with her lover. Empress Zhao Daoxiang was not considered smart, but she also knew that she should not have children for others. Only Zhao Ji, who was so stupid and pursued freedom, actually gave birth to two children for Lao Ai!
But from the perspective of interests, when Zhao Ji lost the power to assist King Dai in governing the country, the more stupid Zhao Ji became, the more beneficial it was to Ying Zheng.

With just a wave of his hand, Ying Zheng could put an end to the possibility of Zhao Ji causing chaos. He could even use Zhao Ji to lure out some evil-minded villains. He could also use Zhao Ji as an excellent political tool to earn her many political halos, including the reputation of being filial.

From an emotional point of view, Zhao Ji was indeed stupid, but Zhao Ji not only gave birth to Ying Zheng, but also protected Ying Zheng alone in the capital of an enemy country surrounded by enemies for eight years!

Although Ying Zheng had a difficult life during those eight years, Zhao Ji managed to protect him and keep him alive. No one can say that Zhao Ji did not fulfill her motherly obligations.

Although Ying Zheng now wishes Zhao Ji would die, who knows whether Ying Zheng in his later years will recall his childhood memories and suffer lifelong regrets because of Zhao Ji's death?

Ying Chengjiao didn't know either, but he hoped that Ying Zheng would have fewer regrets.

The anger in Ying Zheng's voice grew stronger: "Restore some family ties?"

"The Queen Mother has done many shameless things. She is ashamed of me, my father, and my brother!"

"How can such rude and immoral people have any relationship with me?"

"I only wish this shameless man to die quickly, so as not to tarnish the good name of our Great Qin!"

Ying Chengjiao was speechless. As for a good reputation, let alone the Qin Dynasty, even the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu, and Zhao combined could not even muster a good reputation!
Ying Chengjiao really could not accept Zhao Ji's behavior at all.

In Ying Chengjiao's opinion, Zhao Ji's behavior would also make people all over the world dumbfounded even in the future generations that claim to be open-minded.

But in this era, Zhao Ji's behavior is actually... just like that.

If not far, then near.

Queen Dowager Xuan, who was born in the State of Chu, could chat with foreign envoys about the previous king in the Qilin Hall. When she got excited, she could invite the foreign envoys to join in the fun. If she didn't have enough fun, she would return to the harem to continue having fun. She even wanted to be buried together with her pretty boy.

The Queen Mother Daoxiang of Zhao, who was born in the State of Zhao, colluded with her sympathizer to murder the former king, and then colluded with her sympathizer to murder the general who guards the country. She openly held a party in the harem and invited the former king's brothers and uncles to join in the fun.

who cares?
This era is so free!

But Ying Chengjiao did not refute Ying Zheng, but just smacked his lips and said: "I really didn't expect that my elder brother's hatred for the Queen Mother is so deep."

"Since you are so unwilling to welcome the Queen Mother back, I think we should not welcome her back!"

Ying Zheng was slightly startled: "Not welcoming you anymore?"

Then Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly: "In order to govern the Guandong area, we must welcome him!"

"Brother, please do not try to intimidate the people of Kanto with killing."

"Otherwise, the Kanto region will become even more chaotic!"

"Although my brother is disgusted with the Prime Minister's plan, as the Prime Minister said, only by welcoming back the Queen Mother can my brother gain the approval of the people of Guandong."

"With the current territory and population of the Great Qin, the Great Qin is already difficult to govern. If we want to rule the world, we must implement the policy of governing the country with filial piety!"

Ying Chengjiao asked in return: "If we want to make the hearts of the people in the world lean towards filial piety, it will take at least several generations of cultivation."

"But the unification of the world by our Great Qin must be accomplished within the time of our generation."

"Brother, do you think it's too late?"

Ying Zheng did not expect that Ying Chengjiao's tone would suddenly change from welcoming back Zhao Ji to governing the country with filial piety.

But when it comes to business, Ying Zheng subconsciously sits up straight and says in a deep voice: "It's still in time!"

"My brother wants to accept the advice of Doctor Fei, Doctor Yue and the chancellor, so as to practice filial piety according to the law and emphasize filial piety with reputation."

"With vigorous promotion, it will surely be successful within a generation!"

Many people believe that filial piety is a Confucian privilege, and that the Qin Dynasty, which was severely criticized by Confucianism, must have been a country with harsh laws and punishments and was disloyal and unfilial.

The Qin State did not attach importance to filial piety.

But in history, the Qin Dynasty was the first country or dynasty to formally establish the crime of "unfilial piety", setting a precedent for criminalizing unfilial piety!
In the year when the Qin Dynasty unified the world, Ying Zheng began to vigorously promote the culture of filial piety.

New regulations were added to the Qin Law, which stated that anyone who beat their parents, grandparents or other elders would be sentenced to life imprisonment!
It is not considered theft if parents steal their children’s property, and any elderly person who accuses their children of being unfilial and requests punishment can have their children arrested immediately without going through the three-ring application process.

A father sued his son for not being filial to the emperor. After approval, the court chopped off his son's feet, exiled him to Shu, and forbad him to return to his hometown for the rest of his life!
The Qin State, which once cared nothing about filial piety, suddenly became a country that valued filial piety, a unique country in ancient and modern times, when it unified the world and became the Qin Dynasty.

is that useful?
Ying Chengjiao shook his head: "It's useless, don't think about it, just give up."
