Chapter 191 Ying Si Becomes King

Chu Yian couldn't help but burst into laughter and slapped Qin Sheng's hand away: "That's enough, that's enough, can you be more serious?"

Qin Sheng's eyes curved, he retracted his hand and walked to the other side to sit down: "I am very serious, please don't slander me."

Chu Yian: "Just forget it."

She slowly stopped laughing, took a sip of water, and leaned back in her chair: "It seems like you came back earlier today."

Qin Sheng nodded: "Dad asked me to come back early, and the emperor also agreed."

Chu Yian felt relieved. Although she never asked about Qin Sheng's official business, she was a little afraid that the emperor would blame her if he came back earlier and earlier every day and delayed important matters.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

I stood up and walked to the door to open it, but when I looked outside, there was no one there, not even a ghost.

Chu Yian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Qin Sheng. The sound of knocking on the wooden board came from somewhere again.

She was stunned. She slammed the door shut and ran to Qin Sheng, lowering her voice and asking, "Did you hear any noise?"

Qin Sheng's eyes flashed with cunning, and he looked at Chu Yian in confusion: "What's that sound?"

Chu Yian:?

Chu Yian's eyes widened, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Qin Sheng's neck and said viciously: "I advise you to speak properly."

The bastard wanted to scare her? No way.

Qin Sheng couldn't help laughing, and his chest was shaking with laughter.

Chu Yian didn't use any force, he easily pried Chu Yian's hands apart and stood up, then walked to the bookcase standing by the wall.

There are quite a few books on the bookcase, most of which are books on military strategy and geography, as well as some of Chu Yian's storybooks.

Of course, the things that can be put here are not particularly bloody. Those that are so bloody that she has to hide to watch them are naturally hidden somewhere else.

Qin Sheng glanced at Chu Yian and motioned her to look carefully.

He pulled out the eighth book from the third row of bookshelf, revealing a thin line behind the book.

Qin Sheng pulled the string, and the bookshelf instantly moved to the left, revealing a dark secret passage hidden behind it.

Chu Yian widened his eyes. So fast?

Qin Huaishu stood at the entrance of the secret passage, holding a lantern in his hand. He smiled at them and said, "The servants said the secret passage has been repaired. I came to take a look. Did I disturb you?"

Having said that, it is a wooden house after all, and the secret passage is only separated from the room by a bookshelf, so it is not soundproof at all.

The joking voices of Qin Sheng and Chu Yian just now still reached Qin Huaishu's ears.

Looking at the smile on Qin Sheng's face, Qin Huaishu raised the corners of his lips slightly and stepped out of the secret passage.

He hadn't seen Qin Sheng smile so happily for a long time.

Qin Sheng was not polite to him at all: "Yes."

Qin Huaishu was stunned for a moment, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head obediently: "Then I apologize to Xiaosheng and my sister-in-law."

Chu Yian glared at Qin Sheng and said, "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. It's not true."

Qin Sheng was a little unhappy: "Why are you speaking on behalf of Big Brother?"

Chu Yian: ...

Chu Yian stretched out his hand and twisted Qin Sheng's waist hard. Qin Sheng couldn't help but gasp in pain, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Qin Huaishu became even more resentful.

Qin Huaishu raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Xiaosheng has always been prone to throwing tantrums since he was a child..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Sheng interrupted him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's angry? Big brother, I advise you to speak properly."

Qin Huaishu put away his smile and looked more serious. He looked at Qin Sheng with a very gentle look: "Well, whatever Xiaosheng says is what it is."

Qin Sheng: ...

Whenever Qin Sheng meets Qin Huaishu, he becomes weird and cute.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Chu Yian started to eat melon seeds, expecting Qin Huaishu to say a few more words.

Qin Sheng didn't want him to say anything more. He walked to the table and sat down. He looked at Chu Yian, who obviously wanted to watch the show, and glared at her: "Let's get started."

Chu Yian put down the melon seeds in his hand with regret, took a plate of fruit and sat down, sighing: "Our Xiaosheng is also starting to get angry, alas."

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Huaishu sat down next to Qin Sheng: "Xiao Shengzi has a good temper. I'm afraid he has no temper at all."

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng was very confused. Why did this happen?

Whether it was Chu Yian or Qin Huaishu, he was obviously the one with a closer relationship.

Why is it that every time they get together, Chu Yian and Qin Huaishu always tease him?

Qin Sheng looked at Qin Huaishu with resentment. The root of the problem must be Qin Huaishu.

Meeting Qin Sheng's gaze, Qin Huaishu's eyes curved: "Xiao Shengzi, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng retracted his gaze and didn't want to say anything anymore: "Nothing, let's get started."

Chu Yian laughed twice and collected his thoughts and stopped teasing him. He looked at the previous content.

Although I wrote last time about Zhang Yi’s countermeasures after the formation of the coalition, I briefly told Qin Sheng and Qin Huaishu about them.

But those are too far away, the story in the book still needs to be told slowly, developing bit by bit.

When Ying Si heard the news of the success of the coalition, he was angry and anxious. Fortunately, Zhang Yi had already arrived in Xianyang at that time.

But he did not show up. Instead, he hid in the dark and secretly observed the Qin State, wanting to know from the people what the current King of Qin was like.

He was afraid of encountering the same thing as last time and being beaten again.

Ying Si obviously knew Zhang Yi's concerns, so he quietly ran to Zhang Yi to test whether this man had real ability. The result made him very happy.

Not long after returning, to show his sincerity, Ying Si sent Ying Qian and Prince Dang to personally bring Zhang Yi to the Xianyang Palace and have a long talk with Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi proposed four countermeasures to resolve the current crisis of the Qin State.

Make alliances, expand the army, govern the officials, and become king.

The strategy of "lianheng" required the Qin State to march eastward through Hangu Pass, establish diplomatic relations with the six Central Plains states, divide the forces of the coalition and then defeat them one by one.

As long as the alliance of the six countries was broken up, Qin could choose one or two countries to ally with, and then isolate or attack the country with the deepest grudge against Qin.

Zhang Yi also told Ying Si that he must use every possible means to implement the strategy of "lianheng" in order to achieve the greatest effect in dividing the enemy.

But no matter how it splits, since the trend of the coalition has been formed, Qin will inevitably face a war, so it has to send soldiers into exile.

Zhang Yi explained his ideas to everyone bit by bit. Everyone was convinced by Zhang Yi, but Ying Si was worried that it was too early to become king now.

Zhang Yi did not think it was too early. Qin had already been a kingdom in name and in reality. King Xiaogong of Qin did not declare himself king because he was afraid of being targeted by an alliance.

But now that they have been jointly targeted, these concerns naturally no longer exist and can be completely discarded.

There is nothing wrong with claiming the throne at this time not only demonstrating Qin's ambition, but also boosting the morale of the court and the people.

After careful consideration, Ying Si accepted Zhang Yi's suggestion. After more than a month of intensive preparations, the ceremony of his coronation was finally held.

After the coronation ceremony, the Qin State became a true kingdom.

Ying Si became the first monarch of the Qin State, known in history as King Huiwen of Qin.

Also known as King Huiwen of Qin.
