Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 233 Lord Longyang, Yan Dan

Time flies by.

Before they knew it, it was almost time for Han Fei to ascend the throne.

Ying Jing had a very leisurely time during this period.

He would occasionally stroll to Zilan Pavilion to cultivate a relationship with Zi Nu, and late at night he would find an opportunity to enter the palace to appease Lady Mingzhu...

He also spent a lot of time teasing Honglian. The girl had been sullen ever since she went to the ancestral temple, and Ying Jing had to use all his skills to coax her back.

There was no progress on Hei Bai Shao Siming's side. Although they were Dong Jun's people, they were kept under close watch by Yue Shen and dared not have any contact with Ying Jing at all. They seemed to have really become two obedient maids.

Of course, the Moon Goddess didn't come without a price; she was also watched and killed.

Having finally seized the opportunity when Feiyan was not around, the Moon Goddess originally intended to achieve her goal at all costs.

However, every time she was about to have a private conversation with Ying Jing, it would be ruined by Hei Bai Shao Siming.

Lady Xiang, on the other hand, gave Ying Jing a big surprise. Perhaps due to the influence of luck from following Ying Jing for a long time, they had actually achieved perfection in their respective cultivation methods.

The improvement in their strength was secondary; the main thing was that their consciousness had completely stabilized, and their emotions had improved considerably.

At least, thanks to Yingjing's mediation, there won't be any more physical contact when they're on the bed.

Well, the price is that Ying Jing must put in twice the effort.

Compared to Ying Jing's leisurely and carefree life, Han Fei has been extremely busy these days.

He not only had to prepare for his succession, but also receive envoys from various countries who came to witness the ceremony. In addition, he had to work with Wei Zhuang to purge the nobles who colluded with Ji Wuye.

Of course, Ying Jing wasn't completely idle.

For example... he sent out his net to purge the nobles that Han Fei could not deal with through normal means.

"Your Majesty, all thirty-seven people on the list have been eliminated."

In the study of the post station, Yingge, who came to report, still carried a slight smell of blood.

Yan Lingji, standing to the side, was quite different. Dressed in a spotless blue dress, she looked as if she had just gone for a walk.

The parrot has completed the merger of the Hundred Birds and the Net, and its first task now is to deal with the nobles whom Han Fei could not convict.

However, Yan Lingji felt that things were a bit too leisurely, so she went along for a walk.

"Well done. What's the other thing?"

Ying Jing looked at the list that was completely circled, casually tossed it aside, and asked softly.

Yan Lingji raised her jade-like hand and gently played with a strand of her hair that fell to her chest. She said softly, "Except for Wei and Yan, the envoys sent by other countries are all insignificant figures."

Yingge added from the side, "The envoy from Wei was Lord Longyang, while the envoy from Yan was Yan Dan."

Ying Jing immediately became interested, and he raised an eyebrow: "Longyang Jun and Yan Dan... coming to Korea at this time is quite interesting."

This is no longer the era of the Zhou emperors. The rites and music have collapsed, and between nations, strength determines everything.

South Korea is becoming increasingly weak. Even when other countries send envoys to attend the ceremony out of politeness, they usually just send someone casually to make a token gesture.

In the past, the state of Jin was divided into three states, which later became the states of Zhao, Wei, and Han. These three states were so closely connected that they frequently intermarried.

Even the State of Zhao only sent someone as a token gesture.

Lord Longyang and Yan Dan were by no means minor figures in the states of Wei and Yan, and their arrival in Han at this time must have been for some deeper purpose.

Based on Wei Yong's previous information, Ying Jing could easily guess Longyang Jun's target.

The relationship between Wei and Han was still very close. Empress Dowager Leling of Wei was the older sister of Honglian's maternal grandmother.

In the present state of Wei, the King of Wei and Wei Yong hold the greatest power, but Empress Dowager Le Ling should not be underestimated.

If Lord Longyang could establish connections with the state of Han and gain the support of Empress Dowager Leling, the chances of dealing with Wei Yong would be much greater.

"As for Yan Dan, Lord Yan Chun is truly hopeless..."

Ying Jing still remembers how Lord Yanchun had vowed not to let Yan Dan have an easy time and arranged for him to be sent to Qin as a hostage.

As a result, Yan Dan can still come to Korea as an envoy, which is a waste of all the support he has given to Yan Chun Jun over the years.

"Your Majesty, there is urgent intelligence from the Yan Kingdom's Luo Wang branch."

Just as Ying Jing was muttering to himself, Zhen Gang's voice came from outside.

"Go and fetch it."

Ying Jing gave a casual instruction.

The parrot immediately understood and returned shortly afterward with a letter sealed with wax.

"Yan Dan, ah..."

Ying Jing glanced at the contents of the letter briefly, then sneered and tossed it to Yan Lingji.

A burst of flame erupted, instantly turning it to ashes.

The support given to Lord Yanchun did have some effect; it wasn't entirely wasted.

In the State of Yan, Yan Dan was indeed in a difficult situation due to the suppression by Lord Yan Chun.

But Yan Dan did not sit idly by and wait for her fate.

Qin's ambitions have never been hidden. In recent years, the development of Hanoi has brought it enormous wealth. It is preparing its troops and horses, and may start a war at any time.

By constantly advocating the Qin threat theory and the idea that the Yan state should be made great again, he actually gained some supporters and was able to voice his opinions.

The lands of Yan and Zhao are home to many righteous men who sing heroic songs, and they really fall for Yan Dan's ideas.

Under these circumstances, it wouldn't be so easy for Lord Yanchun to deal with Yan Dan.

Moreover, Yan Dan somehow persuaded King Xi of Yan to grant him this opportunity to be sent as an envoy to the State of Han.

He wasn't only going to South Korea; he also planned to visit the states of Zhao and Wei, and even Chu and Qi.

The lessons of failure are there, and it is unlikely that he can form an alliance against Qin again. However, as long as he can promote the Qin threat theory strongly enough, it should not be difficult to gain some support.

When the Qin state expanded eastward, the Han state was the first to be affected.

If we can persuade the new king of Han to devote all the country's strength to resisting Qin when Qin attacks Han, and other states continuously provide support such as weapons and provisions, even if we cannot win, we can still buy time and greatly deplete Qin's national strength.

If Yan Dan's plan succeeds, his position will become more and more secure, and it will be difficult for Lord Yan Chun to suppress him.

only……

"A mere Yan Dan dares to obstruct the great cause of my Qin state, and even wants to use Qin as a stepping stone to elevate himself. His ambitions are truly sky-high!"

Ying Jing chuckled.

Playing the proxy war game isn't impossible, but you have to be strong enough first.

Yan Dan's idea was quite appealing, but the Yan state clearly did not possess such capabilities.

Moreover, Han Fei wasn't stupid; he wouldn't agree to such a thing.
