Chapter 22 If you are my pawn, whose pawn is I?
The palace...
The father and daughter have been separated for many years, and the parents have had a short time of conversation.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Ying Yuanman stood up, knelt directly in front of Ying Zheng, and bowed.
"Yunman, what is this doing?"
Ying Zheng felt a bad feeling in his heart. After these two hours of chatting, he smelled a little more or less.
"Father, my son wants to go back to Xianyang..."
Ying Yuanman was very nervous and whispered.
Ying Zheng sighed inwardly, and it was indeed here!
"Okay, it's been eleven years in a blink of an eye. Go back to the palace to see your mother and your brother."
Ying Zheng pretended to be confused and turned on the topic.
Ying Yuanman felt a little bitter in her heart. It seemed that her father had misunderstood her meaning.
"Father, my son-in-law asks my father to give me kindness and terminate the engagement between my son-in-law and the Wang family."
With courage, Ying Yuanman raised his head and looked at his father with an expectant look on his face.
Ying Zheng stood up, walked to Ying Yuanman, stretched out his big hand, and helped his daughter up.
"Yunman, do you know how the Ying family came about?"
Ying Zheng did not give Ying Yuanman an accurate answer, but changed the subject.
"My son, don't know."
Ying Yuanman was stunned, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said.
"Then do you know why I want to marry you to Wang Jian who is about to die?"
Ying Zheng looked at his daughter with deep eyes and asked again.
"The father's power is unpredictable, but the sons don't know."
Ying Yuanman shook her head again. This question has bothered her for many years and she still can't figure it out.
At first she thought her father was using herself as a chess piece to appease the Wang family.
She also hated, had no choice but to wander, but later she thought about it carefully and felt that this should not be done.
Although the Wang family made outstanding contributions, the father and emperor had even reached the peak of authority and were powerful in the country.
"Since his ancestor Feizi established Qin, he went through 37 generations of former kings, and 564 years. Ying's family rose from a small official who raised horses to the West and looked at the Central Plains."
"Only countless Guanzhong children sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. Generations of ancestors died in battle on the battlefield, and only then can they compete for a pure land."
"The father succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen, upholding the will of his ancestors throughout the ages, working diligently for decades, and did not dare to slack off at all. The Qin Dynasty went east and was the general trend. The defeat of the six countries was not the only one who could do."
"The ancestors of all dynasties have left me the foundation of a strong Qin. I obeyed the heavens and responded to the orders of the Qin ancestors, and the great wish of the millions of soldiers of the Qin family. Finally, I destroyed the six kingdoms, comforted my ancestors, and seized the great rivers and mountains of thousands of miles."
"Whether you hate your father or blame your father! Wang served Qin for generations, and made indelible contributions to the empire."
"Wang Jian has five sons, four of whom sacrificed their lives for the country. His only son, Wang Ben, was a general of the empire, fought for the country and died several times. His only son, Wang Li, also guarded the borders of the northern border of the empire."
"You are the eldest princess of the Empire and my daughter. The debts that Ying owes Wang can only be paid back. This is your destiny."
"If you are my chess piece, whose chess piece I am? I am walking on thin ice in this life, with life and death crises several times, and I have been assassinated countless times. It will rise at the fifth and rest at the third."
"I have control over the power of the world, bear the important responsibilities of the country, enjoy the honor of all people, and suffer the sufferings of the world. For more than thirty years, I have never dared to slack off for a day!"
"Yuanman's marriage contract cannot be resolved. You must not mention this matter again in the future. Ying will never regret the marriage and be despised by the gods."
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Yuanman and spoke endlessly, saying meaningful words.
After listening to Ying Yuanman, his mood was extremely complicated.
He has been with the emperor since he was a child, and she has seen his father's diligence with his own eyes.
yes!
If I were a chess piece, what would my father be?
Is it a pawn of the previous kings of all dynasties?
No……
The father followed the will of his ancestors and devoted his life to the Ying clan!
Um?
The last sentence of the father seems to be something in his words!
Soon, the clever Ying Yuanman figured it out, and his eyes suddenly showed bright light and said, "Father, my son understand."
"Okay, I am worthy of being the descendants of the Ying family, with the blood of the old Qin people flowing. When you grow up, your father is very comforted."
Ying Zheng looked at his daughter and said with relief.
"My father is now over fifty years old, so he should take care of himself and rest early every day. It is easy for wind evil to enter his body late at night."
Ying Yuanman's bright eyes looked at the old father and couldn't help but feel sad.
"Ha! Ha! OK, OK, OK, how about Father's sleep in the second update?"
Ying Zheng laughed heartily and stretched out his two fingers and gestured.
Seeing the appearance of his father, Ying Yuanman's mind saw a series of childhood memories, and a warm smile appeared on his face and said, "The father is most concerned about Yuanman."
"Father will return to Xianyang tomorrow, and you will go back to Beijing with your father!"
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said to Ying Yuanman.
"Okay, my daughter hasn't paid any respects to her mother for a long time."
Ying Yuanman's face turned dark again when he thought of his mother, and his longing was full of longing.
"You will stay in Xianyang from now on, and you can often go to the palace to visit your mother."
Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Ah! Father, but..."
Ying Yuanman was shocked and was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Wang Ben has served as the commander of the Northern Army and should have set out for the northern border. General Wang will also return to Xianyang with him and serve as the first dean of the Imperial Military Academy."
Ying Zheng naturally knew his daughter’s concerns and reminded him.
"That's it! That's great."
Ying Yuanman was very happy. After all, Xianyang was the place where he grew up since childhood. Although Wang was very nice to him, it was hard to see relatives here.
"You go! Just pack up your accompanying items and arrive in Xianyang, your father will re-built for you."
Ying Zheng said with a doting look on his face.
"Then I will thank my father for his gifts first, and I will take my leave."
Ying Yuanman had a happy smile on his face and bowed to Ying Zheng.
Seeing his daughter leave happily, the smile on Ying Zheng's face gradually solidified.
Soon his momentum changed, and his face returned to his expressionless look again. He was extremely majestic and shouted loudly: "Bai Zhuo."
Soon, the CRRC Mansion Order Bai Zhuo ran in quickly and bowed to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty."
"Is there a secret message coming from Xianyang?"
Ying Zheng held a round of twists and asked intently, looking at the rounds and turns in his hand.
"Your Majesty, you're really expecting things like a god..."
Bai Zhuo smiled and was interrupted just as he was about to give a few compliments.
"Stop flattering."
Ying Zheng's voice sounded, interrupting Bai Zhuo.
"Report to Your Majesty, a secret report from the Black Ice Platform a hour ago. Your Majesty and His Highness the eldest princess have not seen each other for many years. They share human relations and do not dare to disturb you, so they have never reported to Your Majesty."
Bai Zhuo felt a little embarrassed, but soon he was serious.
"Yeah, let's hear it."
Ying Zheng nodded and thought casually.
"Prime Minister Li failed to handle food and grass and delayed military aircraft. He was severely rebuked by His Majesty. He ordered Prime Minister Li to return to his house to think about his three months. All government affairs in the court were handed over to Xiang Feng and Lord Mao."
"Prime Minister Li has been strictly disciplined for a while and has never taken a step away from the Li Mansion. Rumors have spread in the court that Prime Minister Li has fallen out of favor, and the Li Mansion has no place to see guests."
Bai Zhuo reported truthfully.
Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand and showed a look of meditation.
The temple is a place to change its course, and these do not surprise me.
Chapter completed!
