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

Chapter 992 You are almost a grandfather, but you are still young? Raising children is to strengthen the foundation!

After letting the three girls cuddle for a while, Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Well, Jiao'er has been fighting for a long time, so he should rest more."

"The three little stars please go back to the courtyard and prepare first."

"Qian'er, follow me to the study to have a chat."

Knowing that Madam Han and Ying Chengjiao had important matters to discuss, Mi Tian and the other two girls quickly let go of Ying Chengjiao.

Gui Ling took out a piece of dried meat from somewhere and quietly stuffed it into Ying Chengjiao's sleeve. Then, like Mi Tian and Ji Wei, she bowed and hurried back to her own courtyard.

Ying Chengjiao walked towards Madam Han and said with gratitude and trust, "With my mother taking care of the house for me, I really don't have to worry!"

Although Mrs. Han has not discussed the development of Chang'an Township with Ying Chengjiao in detail recently, so as not to distract Ying Chengjiao's attention.

But Ying Chengjiao could see the rapid increase in population, area and size of Chang'an Township in the past six months, and he also understood how much effort it took to keep everything in order.

The reason why Ying Fusu was able to see the prosperous era of Datong in his eyes was not only because Ying Chengjiao had set the general direction early on, but also because of Madam Han's control throughout the process.

Madam Han raised her hand and tapped Ying Chengjiao's forehead, saying with a rather doting and yet hateful tone: "You!"

"Let me have a few days of peace as soon as possible!"

Chatting casually about family matters, Ying Chengjiao and Mrs. Han slowly returned to the backyard.

Bafu, Zhang Ming and Han Rou consciously dispatched their subordinates to guard the study room, providing the safest environment for Ying Chengjiao and Madam Han to have a conversation.

When Ying Chengjiao and Madam Han sat opposite each other in the study, Madam Han finally spoke in a solemn voice: "According to the legend of the previous dynasty, my son said that the king will live a long life?"

"Is this true?"

Ying Chengjiao said sternly, "I dare not speak nonsense on such an important matter."

"A person's life span is determined by both heaven and human effort. If the elder brother has done his best, his life span should be more than twenty years. If the elder brother has not done his best, his life span may be short."

"In order to avoid the ministers' worries, my son and I did not tell them clearly, but only said that it would be much longer than seven years."

Even though she had already seen the information sent back by Han Cang, Mrs. Han was still shocked when she heard it: "My son has the power to cut off other people's lifespans?!"

Ying Chengjiao shook his head slightly and whispered, "To be honest with you, mother, unless one has great luck, it is hard to predict how long one will live."

"The more amazing the luck, the clearer my perception will be."

"Looking at the whole world, there are only a few people whose life span can be explored by their children."

"And what I can find out is only the life span that is determined by heaven, which can be changed by human factors. Therefore, I don't mind it."

Madam Han shook her head and laughed: "Qiao'er, please don't say that this is insignificant!"

"This ability is of great significance to my son."

"If the king lives more than twenty years, my son will have nothing to worry about!"

"The style of our Chang'an Junfu should also change accordingly!"

Knowing the king's physical condition in advance has always been a powerful weapon in political struggles, let alone knowing the king's lifespan in advance.

Knowing along with the important ministers early on that Ying Zheng would live far longer than seven years was enough to further distance the Chang'an Junfu from the middle and lower-level dignitaries, not to mention knowing that Ying Zheng would live for more than twenty years.

In a situation where the emperors of the Qin Dynasty had only been in power for a very short time and many court officials were already investing in the next generation of Qin King, God knows what a terrifying political resource this was!

All the arrangements, planning and betting of the Chang'an Jun Mansion can be carried out around this correct answer. As long as Madam Han and Zhang Rang do not encounter a crushing opponent, their planning will definitely allow Ying Chengjiao to sit back and avoid the catastrophe of the succession of royal power.

Madam Han's brain was working rapidly, and she said as she thought: "Since the king knows that you can live for more than 20 years, the unification of Qin is imperative!"

"Chang'an Township is the fiefdom granted to you by the previous king. You must not move it lightly. The rest of the fiefdom must be returned to the court."

"Yes! Whether to return it or not, how to return it should be carefully considered. If it is not done properly, this move will not only fail to benefit and stabilize Jiao'er, but may even cause the king to be hated by the world and Jiao'er to be criticized by the world, so that the king and Jiao'er will have a rift."

"In addition, if the king lives for more than 20 years, the court will probably be generally stable with constant minor changes in the future."

"Marquis Wenxin is now old and could die at any time. The Left Prime Minister and the State Commandant are both weapons that the King has sought for his governance. Once they have been used, the King may leave them unused."

"When the three ministers are gone, Jiao'er may become one of them. Many of Jiao'er's followers may enter the court. In this case, the power of Chang'an Junfu will be too great, and friction or even conflict with the king will inevitably arise, which will be very disadvantageous to Jiao'er."

"Therefore, my Chang'an Junfu should seek stability, make concessions, and take the initiative to create a balance of power in the future!"

Ying Chengjiao listened to Mrs. Han's analysis patiently and seriously, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

To this day, people all over the world are constantly deifying Ying Chengjiao, and even regard him as a superstitious object, believing that Ying Chengjiao can also be immortal and ascend to heaven like the immortals.

Only Ying Zheng and Lady Han were still concerned about his personal safety, and made careful plans for his security, treating him first as a brother and son, rather than a god.

This is the warmest yet most solid beacon for Ying Chengjiao as he wanders in this strange world!
Madam Han looked up at Ying Chengjiao and said, "The most important thing is."

"Qiao'er, you should give birth to a son!"

Ying Chengyu:...

The touching and warm emotions disappeared instantly.

Why is the birth starting again?
Ying Chengjiao said with a bitter face: "Mother, I am still young!"

Mrs. Han's face turned dark, and she said incredulously, "Qiao'er, you are already over 24 years old!"

Ying Chengjiao blinked and nodded, saying: "Yes, I'm only twenty-four!" I'm only twenty-four. When I was this age in my previous life, I had just graduated from college and was still a naive and silly newbie!

Getting married? Having children? These topics are too far away for a 288-month-old baby!
And after having a child, you have to shoulder the responsibility of being a father and act like a father should.

But Ying Chengjiao hasn’t had enough fun yet!

Mrs. Han was so angry that she laughed: "Just twenty-four?"

"In Chang'an, people who are four or five years older than you are already grandfathers!"

"And most women my age are already great-grandmothers!"

"Indeed, Jiao'er is a prince, and according to etiquette, he should come of age, get married, and have children later than ordinary people."

"But looking at the royal family of Great Qin, is there anyone as old as Jiao'er who has not yet married and had children?"

"What nonsense!"

A twenty-four-year-old man is still a child in Ying Chengjiao's eyes.

But in the fields of Daqin, men of this age are no longer just fathers, but are already thinking about finding a wife for their sons and becoming grandfathers themselves!

Mrs. Han’s age would be enough for people in later generations to call her sister on the street, and it would not be an exaggeration to call herself a middle-aged princess on the Internet. However, in the fields of the Qin Dynasty, women of the same age as Mrs. Han have already become great-grandmothers!

So Mrs. Han really could not understand Ying Chengjiao's view on age at all.

In Mrs. Han's eyes, Ying Chengjiao, who has not yet married and has children, is no different from an old unmarried bachelor!
Madam Han asked directly, "In the past, Jiao'er didn't want his offspring to become a weakness and be controlled by other forces, so he didn't want to have children. I think Jiao'er's thinking is reasonable, so I support Jiao'er."

"Then the situation in the court became corrupt, with various forces fighting each other endlessly, and Jiao'er had to go on expeditions frequently, which was not a good time to raise a child."

"But today, the situation in the court has basically stabilized. The king and Jiao'er have a close relationship and have lived for twenty years. According to the words of the previous dynasty, the possibility of another war this year is very small."

"Why does my son still not want to have children?"

"Could it be that my son doesn't like children?"

Ying Chengjiao said sheepishly: "It's not that I don't like children. I actually like children quite a lot."

“I just thought it was a little too early.”

"It's not too late even if it's a few years later!"

Is there any connection between liking children and having children? There is absolutely no connection!

Ying Zheng already had more than a dozen sons and several daughters. When Ying Chengjiao wanted to tease the children, he could just tease Ying Zheng's children.

In this way, Ying Zheng would bear the pain of being annoyed by the children on weekdays, while Ying Chengjiao would have the joy of amusing the children. He could also guide them from time to time and establish a tall image in their hearts.

Other people’s children are really the most fun!
Madam Han sighed softly, "Qiao'er said it was early? Everyone in the mansion said it was late!"

Mrs. Han leaned forward slightly, and said sincerely and patiently: "My son is already over 20 years old. Even if I raise a child now, he will be over 40 years old when he can take on important responsibilities."

"Moreover, my son has no intention of raising children, which has caused panic among the guests and officials in the mansion."

"If my son were not a great witch, and had not been favored by previous kings and blessed by heaven and earth, the guests in the palace would have gone their separate ways!"

"My son, do you think that raising children is just for reproduction?"

"My son is a feudal lord, raising children is to consolidate the foundation, my son cannot do whatever he wants!"

For a leader, offspring is more than just a child.

He is the future of a force!

If this leader has no children, no matter how wise and powerful he is, when he passes away, the distribution of interests and power structure he has created will vanish into thin air, and this power will have no future at all!

This may not matter to the leader himself, after all, the leader is dead.

But what about the people below?
Who will protect their vested interests? And what should they do next?
Without a future leader, who would be willing to follow you?

Therefore, any leader must have a son. Even if he cannot give birth to a son, he must adopt a son!

This has nothing to do with the leader's likes and dislikes, but rather an explanation to the powerful groups under his command!

In the past, Ying Chengjiao was often in dangerous situations where he had to burn his boats, and Ying Chengjiao was also young, so the advantages of not having children outweighed the disadvantages.

But the situation is no longer that critical, and Ying Chengjiao is getting old. How can he reassure his followers if he doesn't have children?

Madam Han lowered her voice and said quietly, "If my son really doesn't like young children, mother can go to the royal family to find a good boy and adopt him as his own."

Ying Chengjiao was immediately shocked: "No need to do this! Don't do this!"

"I know it!"

"I already have an idea in mind, so don't worry, mother!"

Ying Chengjiao quickly changed the subject and said, "I have another important matter to ask mother."

"When we returned victorious last time, Yun Guiling and Ji Wei led their people to the Chang'an Jun Mansion as guests."

"Has mother ever seen any capable and virtuous person?"
