"We are the conquered, so we can accept whatever Qin wants to do, but to kill them all at once will only push out the forces that could have been united."

"Just like our Yan family, because of your majesty, the Qin State did not touch us, nor did it move us to Xianyang, but what about other families?"

The school supervisor also spoke up.

Yan Yan nodded, then thought about it.

"Brother, can you, as the head of the Yan family, invite those nobles in Chu who are willing to submit to Qin to send people to Yushan to discuss together?" Yan Yan said after thinking for a while.

"Okay!" The head of the Yan family was obviously relieved.

The victor makes the king and the loser is the bandit. Generally speaking, as the losers and the conquered, they had no right to bargain with the Qin State, especially since the Qin army was still stationed in the Chu State.

"Send a message to Xianyang and let Li Si come as well!" Yan Yan hesitated for a moment and asked Mo Ya to send a message to Xianyang as well.

"It would be best if the Qin royal family could also send someone!" Yan Yan added.

Soon, letters from the Yan family were circulated one after another, inviting all the local nobles of the Chu State who had considerable status to send their family heads or other persons in charge who had the power to make decisions.

In Xianyang and Qinian Palace, Ying Zheng also received Yan Yan's letter.

It's just that Ying Zheng was a little hesitant. The county system was the national policy and system after the unification of the country that he and Li Si had discussed for a long time. However, he didn't expect that it would be interrupted by Yan Yan before it was fully implemented.

If anyone else had said so, he would have certainly ignored it and would have vigorously promoted it and suppressed it with the army.

However, Yan Yan's proposal forced him to consider whether there was really a problem with the county system.

"What do you think, Tonggu, is there really a problem with the county system?" Ying Zheng summoned Li Si and asked.

This was what he and Li Si had agreed upon, so he also wanted to hear Li Si's opinion.

Li Si was also thinking about the issue of the county system.

But Yan Yan said that it would be difficult for the common people and nobles to accept it in a short period of time.

According to their estimation, even if people do not accept it, it will only be for a short time. As long as the army suppresses the previous generation, the people will accept it.

The key point is that this is what Yan Yan said, and they have to consider it carefully.

"I'll go there!" Li Si thought about it and decided to go to Yushan Academy in person to listen to the thoughts of these conquered people.

"But they are from the royal family, who should we send?" Li Si turned and looked at Ying Zheng.

There were quite a few royal family members in the previous generation of the Qin State, but there were not many royal family members and ministers who were close to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng pondered. In fact, he didn't recognize many of his clan members, and his relationship with them was not very good.

But a person suddenly appeared in his mind.

"How is my uncle Zi Xi?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.

The relationship between Ying Xi and Ying Zheng was really bad, very bad.

How bad is it?

Ying Xi was also the son of An Guojun and had once been the crown prince. If it were not for Lu Buwei and Queen Dowager Huayang supporting Zichu behind the scenes, Ying Xi instead of Ying Zichu would have succeeded to the throne of Qin, and Ying Zheng would not have been the king.

Also because of his failure in the fight for the throne, Ying Xi sent people to assassinate Lu Buwei but failed and was exiled to the Longxi Mountains.

However, it must be admitted that Ying Xi had a very high status among the Ying clan.

Li Si also hesitated. No one knew what Ying Xi would think.

He was supposed to become the King of Qin, but Ying Zheng's father snatched the throne that should have belonged to him. Would Ying Xi really be willing to help Ying Zheng?

"Your Majesty, you have to meet Uncle Yingxi to know." Li Si didn't dare to make a decision. It would be better for Ying Zheng to handle the relationship between the royal family himself. If an outsider gets involved, he will die without knowing how he died.

Ying Zheng nodded, and without hesitation, he decisively ordered Zhang Han to send the secret guards to Longxi to bring Ying Xi back to Xianyang.

An ordinary farmyard in the mountains of Longxi.

The old man, dressed in tattered clothes and looking extremely weathered, looked at the whole family and couldn't help but sigh.

If I hadn't failed back then, I wouldn't be unable to support my family and grandchildren, right?
Or if I had been willing to bow my head and give in back then, would I not have ended up in my current situation?
Just looking at his grandson who was starving with him, Ying Xi sighed deeply.

My failure might be a good thing for the Qin State.

At least the Qin Dynasty is now stronger than before. No matter whether it is his younger brother or nephew who competes with him for the throne, they are at least qualified Qin kings. Under their leadership, the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, and Zhao, Wei, Han and Chu were also destroyed. The only ones left were Yan and Qi.

"Old man, may I ask if this is the residence of Uncle Ying Xi?" Just as Ying Xi was sighing, there was a knock on the wooden door.

Ying Xi frowned and looked towards the door. The person coming was Qin's special envoy Jin Lingjian, so he was naturally familiar with him.

"What is coming has finally come!" Ying Xi sighed.

Even though he had hidden in the mountains of Longxi, Xianyang was still unwilling to let him go.

"It's me!" Ying Xi stood up. Even though he was old and fallen, he had once held a high position after all, and his aura was not diminished at all.

"Hello, Uncle Wang!" Unexpectedly, the messenger bowed very low.

This made Ying Xi stunned. Wasn't he here to kill him?
"The king has issued an edict, asking your uncle to return to Xianyang!" Special envoy Jin Lingjian presented a set of royal robes to Ying Xi.

"Another coup d'état in Xianyang?" Ying Xi asked subconsciously.

Apart from a coup d'état, he could not think of any other way that the Ying family could summon him back to Xianyang.

After all, his father and brother were both short-lived. What if his nephew was also short-lived? And his grandchildren and nephews were still young. Who knows, someone might really have falsely sent a royal order to recall him.

"..." Special Envoy Jin Lingjian's mouth twitched. This was not something that could be discussed.

"The king has issued an edict!" Envoy Jin Lingjian handed the royal robe to Ying Xi respectfully, and then read out, "In compliance with the king's order, from today on, I will be reinstated as the king's uncle, and be granted the title of Lord Taiyuan, with a fief of 3,000 households."

"Lord Taiyuan?" Ying Xi's mouth twitched, looking at the special envoy Jin Lingjian, "This is not a good title. The previous Lord Taiyuan died miserably."

“……” Special Envoy Jin Lingjian was numb. What could he do since he was appointed by the king?

As for the previous Taiyuan Jun, well, he was one of the four nobles, and he did die miserably.

"Uncle Wang, please don't make things difficult for me!" Jin Lingjian was almost crying.

They just came to pass on a message, is it necessary to make things so difficult for him?

Ying Xi thought about it and decided to let him be Lord Taiyuan. It was better than letting his grandson starve to death now.

"Wait outside the door!" Ying Xi took the king's robes and walked into the dilapidated hut.

Special envoy Jin Lingjian did not urge them and stood at the door waiting. They also knew that Ying Xi's return to Xianyang this time was obviously to be re-employed by the king. Including Ying Xi's sons and grandsons, they would all be transformed into royal relatives and nobles that were out of their reach.

"Husband (father)!" Ying Xi's wives all looked at him in horror.

"It doesn't matter. If the king wants to kill us, there is no need to do so. Perhaps from today on, our family will return to the court in Xianyang!"

Ying Xi also thought of a lot.

If Ying Zheng wanted to kill him, an imperial edict would be enough, and there was no need to recall him to Xianyang and kill him.
