Chapter 162: Yan Dan as a hostage in Qin

Hearing Lord Changwen Jun's words, Lord Changping Jun was stunned.

A few years ago, his sister, as a princess for marriage, married Ying Zheng under the auspices of Empress Dowager Huayang. It was the happiest moment of his life, not only because the friendship between Qin and Chu could continue, but also because from now on, he was no longer alone in Qin.

He had an extra sister.

Although he had not seen this sister before, they were of the same blood, and he loved this sister who married to Qin very much.

A year later, another thing happened that made him even more excited.

That was the birth of Fusu!

Fusu was the eldest son of Ying Zheng. If there were no accidents, he could even inherit the position of King of Qin in the future. Although that might be many years later, for Lord Changping Jun, who was committed to the eternal friendship between Qin and Chu, this was something that made him happy when he thought about it.

Before this, the only King of Qin with Chu blood was King King Zhaowang of Qin, whose mother, Empress Dowager Xuan, was from the Chu nobility.

It was also during the period of King King Zhaowang of Qin that the relationship between Qin and Chu reached its peak.

08 Although there are mixed reviews about this King of Qin now, Lord Changping Jun, as the grandson of King King Zhaowang of Qin, still admired this grandfather very much.

After him, King Zhuangxiang recognized Empress Dowager Huayang as his mother, but he was not born to Empress Dowager Huayang, and Ying Zheng's mother was from Zhao. Therefore, Lord Changping Jun urgently needed a King of Qin with Chu blood to continue to stabilize the friendship between Qin and Chu.

This time, if he prepared to stop Ying Zheng from unifying the world, it would be fine if he succeeded. If he failed, it would likely involve his sister and Fusu.

Lord Changwen Jun had worked with him for many years and knew very well what he was thinking.

But immediately after, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in Lord Changping Jun's eyes. "If Chu is destroyed, we will all be people of a destroyed country. For the sake of Chu, I can spare no cost!"

After saying this, he added, "Perhaps Ying Zheng will change his mind by then and not destroy Chu. But before that, we must be prepared."

"We cannot pin all our hopes on Ying Zheng's personal thoughts!"

Lord Changwen Jun nodded.

"What are you going to do? Continue to support the Nongjia?"

The Nongjia was an extremely powerful force among the Hundred Schools of Thought. It was once extremely prosperous, but later, for some reason, it declined.

The specific reason was actually related to King King Zhaowang of Qin.

In many people's impression, Bai Qi was given death by King King Zhaowang of Qin, but in fact, Bai Qi's true cause of death was the ambush by the six halls of the Nongjia.

After Bai Qi died, King King Zhaowang of Qin did not make this matter public. In the end, it was because he was also dissatisfied and wary of Bai Qi at that time. In addition, if the news that a great general of Qin died in the hands of Jianghu people spread, it would not sound very good.

Therefore, after learning of Bai Qi's death, he issued an edict, making many people think that Bai Qi was given death by him.

This was him taking the blame.

But after this incident, he also saw the power of the Nongjia and secretly ordered people to suppress the Nongjia.

Although the Nongjia was strong, it was ultimately not Qin's opponent. Under the deliberate suppression of King King Zhaowang of Qin, they continued to decline. Until Lord Changping Jun took the initiative to contact the Nongjia and secretly supported the Nongjia, the Nongjia stopped its decline. Over the years, they have been constantly accumulating strength in the dark and have a trend of returning to their peak.

Lord Changping Jun supporting the Nongjia also had reasons. Besides the Nongjia's powerful strength, the main reason was that they killed Bai Qi.

Although he admired his grandfather King King Zhaowang of Qin, he did not like Bai Qi.

Before Bai Qi died, he attacked Chu several times. His title of Lord Wu'an was obtained after the battle of attacking Chu. It can be said that he brought great suffering to Chu. The current Nanjun area of Qin originally belonged to Chu.

The Nongjia getting rid of Bai Qi can be said to have avenged Chu.

Lord Changping Jun said in a deep voice, "I will continue to support the Nongjia. For Ying Zheng, these Hundred Schools of Thought that he looks down upon can sometimes play a great role."

"Besides the Nongjia, I plan to go to Luoyang recently!"

Luoyang was originally the capital of Eastern Zhou. After Eastern Zhou was destroyed by Qin, Luoyang was also occupied by Qin and later became the fief of Marquis Wenxin, Lu Lu Buwei. After Lu Lu Buwei was dismissed from his position as prime minister, he left Xianyang and went to Luoyang.

"Do you want to visit Lu Lu Buwei?" Lord Changwen Jun asked.

Lord Changping Jun nodded. "He was dismissed from his position as prime minister because of the Lao Ai incident. When he left, he seemed to have no worries, but I can see that he is very unwilling."

"He has operated in Qin for many years. Although he dismissed many guests, as long as he wants, these guests are still willing to return to his door."

……

Qin destroying Han made the people of Zhao, Wei, and Chu feel wary and guard against Qin.

As for the remote Yan and Qi, because their territories did not border Qin, they did not have so many worries.

However, Qin was so powerful that it still made them have some thoughts.

Qi has always been friends with Qin. Before, the six states said they were united, but in fact, only five states were united. Qi never participated in it. Now, Qin destroyed Han and showed its power to the world again. In reason and emotion, Qi had to congratulate Qin.

But this congratulation was unusual.

Because King Xuan Jian of Qi came to Qin in person.

This was also the first time in his life that he came to Qin. Naturally, he was treated generously by Ying Zheng. After all, King Xuan Jian of Qi gave him so much face, and if he didn't give King Xuan Jian face, it would be unreasonable.

At the same time, he also really needed allies.

After the fall of Han, Qin has become the target of the remaining few countries.

Now, Qi has expressed its attitude.

There are only four countries that have not expressed their attitude.

Zhao, Wei, and Chu, these three countries don't need to be considered. Their borders border Qin. No matter what, they will be wary of Qin. On the contrary, the equally remote Yan, Ying Zheng could not help but have some thoughts.

After King Xuan Jian of Qi's trip to Qin ended and he returned to Qi, Ying Zheng wrote a letter to Yan.

This letter was both a threat and a warning.

But it really made the King of Yan feel sincere fear, so he made a decision.

"Dan, go to Qin as a hostage!"

He looked at his son, Yan Dan, and said so.
