Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 366
For Ziying's title, the most dissatisfied are not the princes and ministers, but the clans of Qin.

After the collective appeal to the first emperor was rejected, these clan ministers gathered in Zongzheng Yingming's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

"Old Ming, Shi Huang is not allowed to change the title of Ziying's son, what should I do?"

"One emperor and one king all take the title of country. This is even more unheard of in ancient times. Why is the first emperor so unwise?"

"We have been loyal to the country for many years, but we still haven't been conferred a title. How can a mere child in Huangkou have such a high position? In my opinion, the title of Lord Chang'an is high!"

"Why don't we write a joint letter again, asking the emperor to take his title?"

In a small hall, more than a dozen people were kneeling and sitting densely. These people are already all the people in the Qin clan who can talk in the court.

There was only one topic for everyone to discuss, how to make Emperor Shihuang withdraw his orders.

At this time, the person who lives in the upper seat and is called Ming Lao by everyone is a gray-bearded old man, and it is the convener of this discussion, Zong Zheng Yingming.

Although Yingming didn't have the slightest military exploits, he couldn't stop him from being a high-ranking person. In terms of speaking, even King Qin Yingzheng would call him uncle.

After killing all the clans who were older than him and becoming the most senior person in the clan with the surname Ying, he won the official position of being in charge of the affairs of the clan.

I have been through all my life before I was promoted to the post of Jiuqing. Naturally, I don't like Ziying, who is a junior who has been crowned king and general at a young age.

The rest of the people are in the same situation. In this generation of the Qin clan, there are no people with outstanding abilities. Basically, they all rely on their own backgrounds to reach high positions. However, they are not very capable, and they are not jealous at all.

The main reason is that Ziying and them are not of the same mind, and he is in a high position but he has not sought some benefits for these clan children.

Although Ziying said from his birth, as the grandson of King Zhuangxiang, he can be said to belong to the royal family of the Qin State, but Ziying, who grew up in Zhao State since he was a child, even called many of these brothers and uncles of the same clan by their first names. not come up.

"If advice is useful, why should we gather here to discuss!" Hearing the chaos in the hall like a market, Ying Ming reprimanded with some dissatisfaction:

"Could it be that with so many clan disciples, I can't think of a way to deal with a young man!"

Winming is obviously dissatisfied with these people who have been arguing for a long time here but have not come up with a feasible solution.

At this moment, a servant leaned against the door of the main hall, poked his head and took a look inside.

Seeing this, Ying Ming, who was already a little irritable, became even more angry.

After clapping the table heavily, Yingming yelled at the servant who showed his head: "Didn't I say that, if you have nothing to do, don't come and disturb us to discuss state affairs."

Seeing that Yingming had discovered him, the servant knew that if he didn't give a reason to satisfy Yingming, he might suffer some pain.

Immediately, he quickly walked into the hall, came to Ying Ming, and whispered a few words in his ear.

To the servant's surprise, Ying Ming slapped him backhand after hearing this, and it was impossible to tell that this was an old man over sixty years old.

"The honored guest came, but he didn't report it quickly."

Immediately got up, straightened his clothes, and said to the people in the hall: "The honored guest is coming, all of you follow me out to greet you."

The people in the room were also a little confused by Yingming's performance before and after, but seeing that Yingming was so serious and asked everyone to go out to greet him, the person must have a high status.

"The Commander of Zhao's Mansion is here, so it's no surprise that Yingming is far away to welcome you." When they arrived at the main entrance, the people accompanying them knew that it was Zhao Gao, the Commander of CRRC Mansion.

At this time, Zhao Gao was not wearing an official uniform, but was wearing a very ill-fitting commoner, with a wide neckline that even covered half of his face. At first glance, it is impossible to tell that this is Zhao Gaolai.

Apparently Zhao Gao didn't want others to know that he had privately met with the ministers of the DPRK and China.

It's just that what Zhao Gao didn't expect was that these people would gather in Ying Ming's mansion, and they brought them all over to welcome him.

This time, the number of people who knew they were coming increased exponentially.

One must know that Zhao Gao has always acted cautiously since he was almost killed by Ziying and Meng Yi last time, who ever wanted to win over this old guy...

Now that he had been exposed, Zhao Gao simply tightened his collar, straightened his neck and raised his head. It turned out that Zhao Gao had been working hard to learn the turtle's head-shrinking skill just now.

"Decree of the Zhao Mansion, please." But at this time Ying Ming did not notice the displeasure on Zhao Gao's face, and still invited Zhao Gao into his mansion in a low voice.

Zhao Gao and Ziying have always been at odds, this is something that the whole of Xianyang knows, when Zhao Gao committed a crime, Ziying and Meng Yi even sentenced Zhao Gao to death, if it wasn't for the first emperor's pardon, Zhao Gao would be as tall as a grave .

This time Zhao Gao came to find him, it must be because of how to bring down Ziying, his group couldn't think of a good plan, but it didn't mean that Zhao Gao, who knew the temperament of Emperor Shi Huang very well, couldn't think of it.

It stands to reason that Zhao Gao's position as CRRC Fuling is just a subordinate official of one of the Jiuqing's eunuchs, while Yingming's Zongzheng position is indeed the real honor of Jiuqing.

Among them, there are not many people who are in the same rank as Zhao Gao in terms of official position, but they are all the same as Ying Ming, and welcome Zhao Gao in in a low voice.

Although Zhao Gao's position is low, no one can ignore his energy. Some officials in the court even called Zhao Gao "hidden face" in private. Steal high.

Except for the "big bosses" such as Ziying, Feng Quji, Wang Wan, and ministers who were also trusted by the first emperor, such as Meng Yi, I am afraid that no one would dare to have nothing to do with Zhao Gao's existence.

Returning to the main hall again, Ying Ming welcomed Zhao Gao to his previous seat, and he disregarded his official position and age and acted like Zhao Gao's entourage, and sat under Zhao Gao's subordinate.

As soon as Zhao Gao settled down, a servant in the mansion immediately offered him sweet syrup. Zhao Gao took a sip and said softly, "I don't know why you all gathered here?"

As soon as Zhao Gao asked this question, everyone looked at me and I saw that you didn't know how to answer for a while. Although we knew that Zhao Gao and Ziying would not deal with it, we couldn't just say that we were discussing how to bring down the new Prince Qin.

After being silent for a while, Yingming still said: "Decree of the Zhao family, the first emperor insisted on appointing Ziying as the King of Qin. This is actually contrary to our great Qin ancestor system. As Zongzheng, I can't just sit idly by. I want to unite the power of all the ministers. , admonished the First Emperor to death during the court meeting!"

Ying Ming said awe-inspiringly.

Asking him to remonstrate to the first emperor, he would naturally not do it. The first emperor was not so tolerant to those who dared to violate him again and again, and the result of a remonstrance might be death.

This is just to let Zhao Gao know what they are thinking.

"Our clan firmly opposes Ziying's title as King of Qin!"

Next, we will see what surprises Zhao Gao can bring to them. Ying Ming believes that since Zhao Gao made a special trip to his house, he must have already planned something.

After hearing Yingming's righteous words, Zhao Gao cast a contemptuous glance at Yingming, and sipped a few mouthfuls of sweet wine.He said lightly: "The craftsmen in the old Zong's official residence are really good."

"If Zhao Fu Ling likes it, I will immediately send the master of the house to Zhao Fu later."

"Don't worry about it, but when I came here just now, I heard some nursery rhymes that were not very kind to King Qin.

Young children sang: "One emperor and one king sit in the mountains and rivers, and the emperor goes to Xianyang to display the king's banner."It is vain to contend for the hegemony all my life, and the son of the holy emperor has nothing to hate. '

Thinking about King Qin, who fought for more than ten years in a weak crown and made great military exploits for our Great Qin, how could he do this? "

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he gently knocked down the wine bottle in his hand, got up and left Yingming's mansion.

……

Although all the clans present here are full of wine and food, they are not stupid, Zhao Gao has already talked about this, and they still don't understand Zhao Gao's strategy.

I'm afraid this nursery rhyme is present except for the dozen or so people who are present here who Zhao Gao knows.
