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

Chapter 194 The Great Philanthropist Jing has sacrificed too much!

Zhangtai Palace remains solemn and ancient, standing tall with a profound sense of history.

Gai Nie was still guarding outside the door. Ying Jing greeted him familiarly, ignoring the hidden auras in the shadows, and headed straight for the palace where Ying Zheng was.

Calling Ying Zheng the young king is no longer quite accurate. He has come of age, shed his former immaturity, and exudes the majesty unique to a king.

"My third brother refused the marriage I bestowed upon him, so why is he so eager to seek out the Imperial Advisor today?"

Upon discovering Ying Jing's arrival, Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand, and a playful smile appeared on his usually serious and handsome face.

Even deep within the palace, he had heard of Lord Changxin's reputation for being a womanizer.

In an instant, all the majesty seemed to vanish, leaving only the warmth between brothers.

In this world today, the only person who could elicit such emotions from Ying Zheng is probably Ying Jing.

Ying Jing didn't take Ying Zheng's teasing to heart. Instead, he chuckled and said, "The Imperial Advisor almost became my brother's wife. I'm still a little curious."

Ying Zheng smiled gently and said, "In your opinion, Third Brother, what about the Imperial Advisor? If you change your mind now, I can still make the decision."

Ying Jing immediately shook his head: "Although the Grand Preceptor is dignified and beautiful, his mind is on the Yin-Yang School. However, Lady Xiang and Lord Dongjun, who are by the Grand Preceptor's side, are old friends of mine. I happened to meet them this time and we had a very pleasant conversation."

Ying Zheng's smile vanished instantly.

You've actually chosen one? You didn't fancy the Moon Goddess, but you've taken a fancy to Dongjun and Lady Xiang, who's by the Moon Goddess's side, right?

The thought of Ying Jing's reputation for being a womanizer, which spread so quickly and widely, made Ying Zheng's teeth ache.

You're so cool!

In comparison, this King of Qin was like an ox or a horse, with no free time at all, and was confined to the Zhangtai Palace all day long.

Of course, this was also what Ying Zheng himself pursued.

Rather than saying that Zhangtai Palace bound him, it would be more accurate to say that he trapped himself.

Life in Zhangtai Palace was a bittersweet experience.

If he truly did not wish to continue in such a miserable state, Ying Zheng could have indulged in sensual pleasures and revelry like the other kings of various states.

In any case, the situation in Qin has basically stabilized. Zhao Ji has relinquished power, and Lü Buwei can no longer cause much trouble. Even if he were a foolish ruler, he could still maintain the situation.

But that's not what Ying Zheng wanted; if he had done that, he wouldn't be Ying Zheng anymore.

From a young age, he set his sights on unifying the world, and he has always been moving toward this single goal without wavering.

Women? Hmph, they're nothing but stumbling blocks to our great cause.

Aside from the necessary duty of continuing the family line, he never devoted a single moment to this!

"If my third brother truly harbors such intentions, I will order the Yin-Yang School to find a different candidate!"

Ying Zheng may have been joking, but a ruler's words are not to be taken lightly, and there was some truth to his words.

Ying Jing is not much younger than him, and he still doesn't have a formal wife.

In Ying Zheng's view, the late king had passed away, and his elder brother was like a father to him. As the elder brother, he should help arrange this matter properly.

What about Lady Xiang? What about Lord Dong?

As the King of Qin, Ying Zheng did not believe that the Yin-Yang School had the right to refuse.

"Ahem, I have my own plans for this matter, so there's no need for you to worry about it, Your Majesty. Speaking of which, Your Majesty invited me to dine with you, but why is there not even a bowl of porridge here?"

Ying Jing quickly interrupted Ying Zheng's thoughts and changed the subject.

He wasn't ready yet and wanted to enjoy himself for a few more years while he was still young.

Moreover, Madam Mingzhu gave too much.

The situation in South Korea is still unresolved. If we set a formal title now, it might anger Madam Mingzhu, and things could go wrong.

If Lady Mingzhu betrays us, Bai Yifei will inevitably betray us too. At that time, Ji Wuye might also have other ideas, and we will have no choice but to launch a full-scale attack to take over Han.

When war breaks out, rivers of blood will flow, countless people will die in the war, and people will be displaced.

Compared to the lives of countless civilians and soldiers, what is his sacrifice?

Thinking of this, Ying Jing felt his heart warm!

In order to smoothly take over Korea and avoid major wars and turmoil, Jing Dashanren really paid too much!
