The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 810: Recognition from Uncle Wang [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

Special envoy Jin Lingjian and the dignitaries of Longxi also understood this well, and ordered people to send gold, silver and brocade clothes for Ying Xi's family to wear.

Just as Ying Xi came out of the mountains and arrived in Didao, a new imperial edict came from Xianyang.

"Appoint Uncle Wang as Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince Ying Xi, the Prince of Taiyuan!"

"Confer the title of Taiyuan Lord Ying Xi Zongzheng Ling on Uncle Wang!"

"..."

Ying Xi was completely relieved. It seemed that his nephew, the King of Qin, was going to re-employ him, otherwise he would not have given him so many official positions.

Titles and official positions were awarded one by one.

The entire Longxi and Qin State also knew that a former nobleman had returned.

Along the way, there was an endless stream of people coming to see them off and give them gifts.

"The Zongzheng Order!" Although Ying Xi had been away from the center of power for a long time, he knew what this meant.

The Chief of the Imperial Clan was in charge of all the descendants of the Qin royal family. The previous Chief of the Imperial Clan was Ying Pi, who controlled the Qin army.

"So, the king is going to accept the clan members again!" Ying Xi knew the intention behind appointing himself as the Chief Clan Member.

This is a good thing for the Ying clan.

Because his father and younger brother died young, and his nephew succeeded to the throne at a young age, Ying Zheng's relationship with his clan members was not as united as when his father was in power.

Among the three dukes and nine ministers, there was no one who was a relative of the Ying family.

Ying Zheng did not wait for Ying Xi in Xianyang, but waited in Yongcheng, the ancestral temple of the Qin State. He also summoned all the relatives of the Ying family to come.

This surprised the Ying clan members. Ying Zheng had never had a close relationship with them, and was even a little distant because of Chang'an Jun Chengjiao.

Everyone was a little surprised that they were called here now.

But after all the clan members gathered at the Taimiao, they found that Ying Zheng was already sitting in the main seat waiting for them.

But when everyone arrived, Ying Zheng didn't speak, as if he was still waiting for someone.

But no one dared to speak up and bring bad luck.

If Ying Zheng wants to wait, then they can just wait too.

Ever since Ying Zheng took power, these relatives have been expelled from the center of the court, and have been living a life of idleness and waiting for death. Now that Ying Zheng is willing to see them, perhaps he wants to re-employ them.

"Uncle Wang is here!" Suddenly, a shout came from outside the Taimiao.

"Uncle Wang, which uncle Wang?" The clan members were a little surprised, but when they saw Ying Zheng had already stood up and walked out of the Taimiao, they followed him out.

"It's him!" All the Ying clan members looked at Ying Xi in disbelief as he walked in from outside the Taimiao.

In terms of relationship, Ying Zheng and Ying Xi are the closest, while these relatives are much more distant.

But Ying Xi was the eldest prince of the Qin State!
"Greetings, His Majesty!" Ying Xi had never seen Ying Zheng before, but the king's royal robes could not be faked, so he recognized Ying Zheng among the crowd at a glance and saluted first.

"Hello, Uncle King!" Ying Zheng couldn't help being surprised when he saw Ying Xi, who was skinny and had gray hair.

The former eldest son of the Qin State has now fallen into such a situation.

"It's good that you're back. Everything is over!" Ying Zheng took Ying Xi's hand and walked into the Taimiao.

Ying Xi originally had many doubts and many things he wanted to say and ask, but after hearing Ying Zheng's words, all his previous resentment dissipated in an instant.

Yes, it's all over!
If he failed in the battle for the throne, it was his own fault. How old was Ying Zheng at that time? It had nothing to do with him. Moreover, his younger brother who was competing with him had passed away. When a person dies, all things are over. Why should he dwell on the past?
The Ying clan members looked at the uncle and nephew in shock. They never expected that the person Ying Zheng was waiting for would be Ying Xi.

"From now on, Uncle Wang will return to Xianyang and serve as the patriarch of our Ying clan, the Chief of the Zongzhengling!" Ying Zheng took Ying Xi's hand and stood on the main seat together, announcing this order to all the clan members.

"This..." The Ying clan members were even more shocked.

Some couldn't believe their ears.

Ying Xi and your father have an irreconcilable feud.

"Uncle Wang..." Ying Zheng took a step back and gave the next seat to Ying Xi. He called Ying Xi back, and Ying Xi also had to show his ability.

If he can't even intimidate these Ying clan members, then this Zongzhengling is just an empty title.

Ying Xi also knew that if he failed to intimidate these tribesmen, it would disappoint Ying Zheng, and he would no longer be valued after returning to Xianyang.

"As the eldest son of King Xiaowen, I am appointed as the chief of the Qin clan and the chief of the Ying family. Who agrees and who opposes?" Ying Xi suddenly looked at all the clan members present with a sharp gaze.

After all, he was once the eldest son of the Qin State, so he still had a firm grasp of his aura.

What's more, as the former eldest son, he has many students and former officials. As long as he comes back, a new political group can be formed in a short time.

Ying Zheng was also somewhat surprised at Ying Xi's appeal, but he was only slightly surprised before he understood the reason.

Ever since Duke Bie passed away, the Ying clan has been in a state of leaderlessness. No one has the absolute prestige to lead the Ying clan, which has also led to the clan being gradually kicked out of the center of power.

Now that he had recalled Ying Xi, his clan members saw hope of returning to the center of power, so naturally no one stood up to oppose.

"Today, I am here only to welcome Uncle Wang and not to discuss state affairs." Ying Zheng spoke again to determine the tone of this clan meeting.

Although Ying Xi was a little surprised, he looked at the Ying clan members present and thought that he had just returned and didn't know anything yet, so he chose to remain silent and did not ask.

Although the Ying clan members were confused, they thought that Ying Xi's recall was obviously Ying Zheng sending them a friendly signal, so they did not ask any questions and buried their curiosity in their hearts.

You will know what you need to know later, so there is no need to rush.

The clan banquet soon ended, and Ying Zheng did not stay in Yongcheng any longer. Ying Xi also followed Ying Zheng back to Xianyang.

In the carriage, Ying Zheng and Ying Xi sat opposite each other. Ying Xi had many questions but never spoke.

"Does your uncle still have any resentment towards me, my father, and my grandfather?" Ying Zheng asked casually as he reviewed the memorial without even raising his head.

"Alas..." Ying Xi sighed, "If I say I didn't say anything, the king probably won't believe me."

Ying Zheng remained calm and just nodded slightly.

Who wouldn’t feel resentful if he went from being a crown prince to being exiled, and even his grandson almost starved to death?

"But, I am a descendant of the Ying family after all. I have asked myself more than once, if I were the King of Qin, would I be able to do better than Zichu? Would my children be able to do better than the King?"

"Later, I found that I would not obey Zichu. I can do what Zichu can do, but I or my children cannot do what you can do."

"So, I don't accept Zichu, but I accept you!"

Ying Xi said with relief.

Ying Zheng raised his head in surprise and looked at Ying Xi.

"Don't be surprised. If your father came to ask me, I would definitely not accept it. Don't forget that I even dared to assassinate Lu Buwei." Ying Xi said with a smile.

"The one I recognized was never your father, but you, the King!"
