Yes, Ji Shang is right, and Ying Zheng deeply agrees.

The game with the worshippers is a long-term battle, and they know each other well, and they will not put it on the surface, but will only engage in various battles in private.

For the sake of the overall situation, the Central Plains needs a strong monarch to lead, and for the overall planning, Yingzheng also needs the combat power of the enshriners. It is in the interests of both parties to hurt each other, and they don't want to hurt each other, and love and kill each other.

But there is a premise, which is to gain the support of the royal family. If an old man of the royal family said that Ying Zheng had done something wrong, he should not have come up with such a etiquette as the Nine Gifts so early, and Ying Zheng really couldn't find anyone who would speak for him.

For the sake of Jing Ke's map of supervision, in order to test the bottom line of the worshippers, Yingzheng did not greet the three queen mothers and the concubines in the palace in advance. In other words, what he did today, Yingzheng did not get any support, only the support of the ministers remained, but there was no one who could help him solve the trouble, no matter how many good words were useless, this trouble could only be solved by himself.

If a person fights with the worshippers, Ying Zheng can't win at all, if some royal families are added to this, Ying Zheng will not only be in trouble, but will probably be forced to abdicate and make way for Xian. Don't look at the current stable position, but Ji Shang is right, the three queen mothers are still in charge of a lot of power. If someone can't stand the pressure of the royal family, and two people stand up against it at the same time, can Yingzheng still sit as king? The estimate is very suspenseful.

Don't say it's impossible, in the face of huge interests, there will definitely be a queen mother who will turn back. Maybe Zhao Ji will always support him, but Zhao Ji has the deepest relationship with the Ying royal family, and the Ying family will definitely not be able to stand the pressure of the entire royal group, so Zhao Ji can only remain silent.

For the sake of the North Palace, for the sake of the Mi clan, Xia Ji and Mrs. Huayang will definitely turn back. Without the royal family, it is impossible to survive at all, and the Central Plains is still in the era of imperial rule, and no one can jump out of this circle and become king. The people who dare to claim to be kings in the nations are all royalty, and they themselves are branded as royalty.

Looking at the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has never been a person who dared to raise a banner and wanted to establish a country and become king alone. During this period, there were no peasant uprisings, no matter how ruthless the oppression was, it was the royal family playing the game of hegemony. During this period, it was the process of changing from slavery to feudalism that the rights and interests of the common people were improved, coupled with the strict rule and management of the royal family, the hierarchy had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and those who dared to rebel must also be royal.

In this game of chess, only the royal family dared to rebel, and the civilians were not even qualified to rebel. Ji Shang expressed this meaning, and pointed out this mercilessly, that is, to clearly tell Yingzheng that although the king is high, he will be pushed down sooner or later if he provokes the disgust of the royal family.

Li Si, Feng Quji, Yao Jia and others can't see this aspect, mainly because they are not royalty, and they don't know what the royal family will do. But Ji Shang and Ying Zheng are royalty themselves, so they are naturally very clear about this set. Looking at the entire hall, after Ji Shang said this, Mi Chen, Shang Gong and others, who had the status of a royal family, bowed their heads and were silent, and they also thought of this question.

I think I thought of it, but they were not prepared at all, where would there be a solution? Could it be that Mi Chen dared to go to Huayang Palace and let Mrs. Huayang hand over power? Could it be that Shang Gong dared to go to Ganquan Palace and ask Zhao Ji to hand over the tiger talisman of Yongcheng? Even if they dare, it is estimated that after they go, they will be kicked out by those two, and they will not be human inside and out.

Ying Zheng asked, "Uncle Ji Shang, what do you think should be done?" ”

Ji Shangyan said: "It's very easy to do, according to the laws of Great Qin, Jing Ke tricked the King of Qin into doing something that violated the laws of the royal family, killed him on the spot, and imposed the punishment of sitting together, and destroyed the Yishui organization, and the royal family will definitely support the King of Qin." With great righteousness, killing the envoys of the Yan Kingdom, King Yan didn't dare to say anything at all. What's more, Jing Ke is just the leader of a civil force, and if he was promoted to the position of Shangqing so quickly, the royal family may have a lot of opinions about King Yan, at least the worshippers of the Yan Kingdom are very unkind to see King Yan. ”

"At the same time, I also got a message that the worshippers have a big conflict with the Yan King. King Yan is moving the capital, let's go, he still wants to take the private treasury to Liaodong, how can the worshippers agree? The private treasury of the Chu Palace was stolen by the Empress Dowager Yingran, and the worshippers were already very faceless, and the royal family put a lot of pressure on them, and they would never let King Yan transfer the private treasury again. Although King Yan will move the capital, the private treasury of Yan State is still stored in the Yan Palace in Jicheng. If Qin and Yan are at war, it is the best decision for King Qin to take Jicheng first and let King Yan lose his roots. ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "This law is not proper, this king Chrysostom Yuyan, it is me who holds the ceremony of the Nine Mansions, not others, as long as Jing Ke has not made a mistake, if you want to say him for this reason, how can the people of the world be convinced?" What's more, he also carries a treasure, which is very important to my Great Qin. ”

Ji Shang shook his head and persuaded, "No matter what treasure Jing Ke carries, you should kill him." He proposed to receive him with the gift of nine servants, just to make you lose the support of the royal family, this son harbors evil intentions, and it is estimated that the worshippers are watching from the sidelines to see what you will do. ”

Ying Zheng said: "I won't kill Jing Ke, is there any other way?" ”

Ji Shang frowned, lowered his head and pondered: "Things are in a hurry, let me think about it." ”

After saying this, Ji Shang unconsciously walked around the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, carefully thinking about the solution to the problem. Before the question is thought out, Ying Zheng can't meet Jing Ke at all, once he does, then Ying Zheng's ambition will be confirmed, and God knows what the worshippers will do.

Ying Zheng thought of it, and the ministers below also thought of this problem. Everyone didn't think of a good way, because they were not familiar with the royal family, and they didn't know the relationship between the royal family and the worshippers. Even Yingzheng himself did not distinguish what the subordinate relationship was between the worshippers and the royal family.

Among the details, Ying Zheng couldn't think of it, after all, he had fewer opportunities to contact with the worshippers, except for the Yiling Hall and Zhao Guo, Ying Zheng didn't know other offerings. And Ji Shang is different, he has traveled around the world and dealt with many royal families and worshippers, and the relationship between them is more familiar than most people.

Ah Fangnu asked Ji Shang to be an official in the Qin State, just for Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng thought about it carefully, this hand is very good, Ji Shang can really help him. Everyone sees their determination to become emperor, but they can't see the hidden dangers, this matter is not only troublesome, but also very tricky. If it is not handled properly, it is easy to cause the anger of the royal family, because who does not know whether the worshippers will interfere.

Seeing Ji Shang walking around there, muttering something from time to time, Li Si, Feng Qujian and the others didn't dare to disturb. They are good at handling government affairs, but they dare not interfere in the affairs of the royal family, so as not to affect their own family.

After a stick of incense, Ji Shang stood still, stomped his feet, and said to Ying Zhengyan: "Thinking about it, there is only one way, please ask the king to announce on the spot and make my princess a lady and concubine." There are some things that the princess is more familiar with than me, and the worshippers may not give you face, but they will definitely not dare to snub my princess. ”

Feng Quji frowned and said: "Lord Ji Shang, this is Zhangtai Palace, we are discussing the affairs of the court, how can we let the king canonize his concubine?" ”

Ji Shang glared at him and said, "What do you know?" My princess, Afangnu, is the princess of the Zhou Dynasty and the representative of the Ji royal family. The entire Central Plains, with the royal family as the core, has two major surnames as the dominant and the largest voice among the royal family. ”

"First, the Mi clan, sitting on the land of Jingchu, has a stronger national fortune than my Zhou Dynasty, which has lasted for 800 years, and has established such an influence in the Shang Dynasty. Half of them are from the Mi clan, if it weren't for the princess from my Ji clan, my Zhou Dynasty would have been replaced by someone else. ”

"Second, it's my Ji clan. Looking at the countries of the Central Plains, in addition to the two countries of Qi and Chu, the Three Jins, the Yan State, and the Qin State, all belong to the Ji family, whether it is the surname Zhao of the Ying family or the surname of the Zhao family, they are all descendants of the Ji family, and the Yan country still continues the tradition of the Ji family, and claims to be the authentic blood of the Ji family. ”

"And the princess of my family is the representative of the Ji family, who is attached to the worship of the Zhou royal family, and occupies a lot of weight, and it can also be said that in the entire worship group, it belongs to the most powerful one. Himeho and Himehara can be represented by their own names, and you know the weight of it. ”

"In the offerings, only those who are the strongest can speak by their own names. Other than that, they are all replaced by offerings from a certain country. And the Mi clan, there are also two worshippers, they are Mi Chu and Mi Jing, and their strength is equally strong. The people who can defeat them may only be saint-level powerhouses, but they can't kill them. ”

"If King Qin can raise the concubine position of my princess, at least the two of my Ji family will not embarrass you, because they have watched my princess grow up, and their feelings are deeper than ours. As long as they don't object, the other worshippers don't dare to make a mistake, and they won't get along with King Qin because they have exceeded a ritual. ”

Li Si frowned and said, "The Mi clan supports the Great King, but they also have two powerful offerings, and such an offering group will also have some internal battles with each other. Could it be that with the support of the Ji clan, the two of them will not get in the way? ”

Ji Shang said confidently: "Not at all, the reason is that they are wrong." The private treasury of the Chu Palace was lost, and the worshippers of the Chu State were very faceless, and the King of Qin dared to hold the ceremony of the Nine Mansions, which was equivalent to a kind of revenge for that matter, and they naturally would not come out to obstruct it. And what is the attitude of the two worshippers of my Ji clan has become particularly crucial. ”

"As long as you get their nods, not to mention the gift of the Nine Princesses, even if you achieve the dignity of the emperor today, they will not interfere. So at this time, raising the concubine position of my princess and increasing her power in the Qin Palace, the royal family will not say that they have an opinion, and they can turn a blind eye and fool the past. ”

Li Si asked again, "Wouldn't the other worshippers and royals have small moves?" ”

Ji Shang said with affirmation again: "Prime Minister Li Si, you are not a royal family, nor are you an enshriner, and you don't understand the relationship at all. The reason why the Ji clan is strong is not only those two worshippers, my princess can represent the Ji clan, but she is only the second person of the Ji clan. The first person in my Ji family, there is only one person in hundreds of years, no matter how many Zhou kings and offerings have been changed, it has never changed, she is Sword Valley Scarlet Moon, Princess Ji Yue. ”

Hearing this name, Li Si didn't dare to ask anymore, and the scalp of the people around him tingled when he heard it, and the intricate relationship in this was even more complicated than that of the Qin Palace. No wonder the dispute in the Central Plains, the fight between the royal families is so lively, and the foreign races dare not take advantage of the chaos to invade, and there is such a person in the worship.

Scarlet Moon is recognized as the first in the world, and the worshippers all respect her, and the worship group has this foundation, where will the king be in his eyes. The reason why Yingzheng is different is that some worshippers have changed their direction to curry favor with Yingzheng, and even Korean worshippers have taken the initiative to peacefully annex Korean land, all because Yingzheng is the identity of the son of a bloody fan.

Without this identity, how could those worshippers give him a good look? Even if he tore his face in front of him, he didn't dare to punish him personally, but only dared to suppress it with the royal family.

Speaking of which, if Ying Zheng doesn't know how to do it, then he doesn't deserve to be called the King of Qin. It was announced on the spot that Afangnu was appointed as a lady, and the ministers all supported it in unison.

Ji Shang even said: "King Qin should have done so much a long time ago, if you want to play with the worshippers, you only need to divide them from the inside, others can't do it, but you have this foundation." No matter how fierce the internal battle between you and the worship group is, it will not lose each other's strength, it is just who occupies the dominant position. ”

In Princess Ji Yue's view, this is not a game, and such a relationship must be maintained for a long time. Lest after the unification of the Central Plains, Princess Ji Yue will have no drama to watch, and it will be troublesome. That's right, outsiders are very afraid of Princess Jiyue, but in the eyes of the worshippers, they all know that the princess is very simple-minded, she is just watching a game. ”

"Another example is the Qin Palace, Mrs. Jun doesn't love the council, she only knows Princess Ji Yue, and she is not familiar with the relationship with the other worshippers, so it is difficult for her to give you advice. Mrs. Chenxi and Mrs. Lin Ye are not from the royal family, and Princess Ji Yue will not give them any good looks; Only my princess Afang is the one who can help you the most, at least in the future blood sacrifice battle, Princess Ji Yue will not kill her. ”

"That's right, no matter how many people Princess Ji Yue kills, it is impossible to kill the princess of the Ji family, and all the worshippers understand this truth. Please make good use of this advantage, this game with the worshippers, as long as you don't offend the royal family too hard, there is no reason to fail. I can see this clearly, but neither you nor my princess can see this, so when my princess asks me to be an official in the Qin State, I will agree. ”

"It is estimated that in the future life, King Qin will often listen to my opinions, I am used to being a carefree person, I don't like to meddle in other affairs, and I will not fight for power with others. As long as King Qin doesn't kill me, no one else dares to kill me, because I can ask for worship and protection at any time, so I am not afraid of offending people, let alone saying something ugly. ”

Ji Shang's self-styled expression is really flattering, but what he said is the truth, and people have that confidence. Without that background, how dare he travel around the world and scold those kings. After scolding so many times, there is no one who can live so comfortably.

At this moment, Ying Zheng understood that Ji Shang was the representative of the worshippers. This person is very sleek, left and right, and no one knows which family he is talking for in his heart.

On the one hand, it represents the voice of the worshippers, and on the other hand, it gives advice to Yingzheng and divides the power of the worshippers from within. It is estimated that in front of a certain worshipper, there will be another statement, and others will not dare to offend him.

The worshippers are all strong people, playing with the things of the heart, where have you played with Ji Shang. Ying Zheng also felt that he needed such a person, and the advice he gave, whether it would be adopted by him or not, could at least get more information from it.

After Afangnu was canonized as a lady, Ji Shang changed his previous title and took the initiative to call Yingzheng the king. Finally, he asked, "May I ask the king, do you still want to see Jing Ke?" No matter what the purpose of his entry into Qin is, or what the treasure he carries, in short, he gave you this bad idea, you can't use him anymore, so as not to be harmed by him. ”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "The ceremony of the Nine Mansions has been held, if you don't meet Jing Ke, won't this king laugh at the world?" ”

"Xuanyan State envoy Jing Ke Shangqing came to see you."
