My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?
#1212 - How to break the dilemma? Congratulations to the Qin Dynasty with the Great Nine Continents
Wang Ben drew the attention of the Qin emperor and his ministers to Ying Chengjiao, but they did not see Ying Chengjiao.
Ying Zheng's heart tightened and he immediately looked around, and finally saw Ying Chengjiao's back in the main hall.
Ying Zheng hurried back to the main hall and saw Ying Chengjiao sitting across from him with a brush in his hand. He asked in a gentle voice, "My brother, do you have any other magic tricks?"
Ying Zheng didn't care that he didn't get a reply from Ying Chengjiao. Instead, he stood beside Ying Chengjiao and watched him patiently as he picked up the pen and started writing.
Wang Ben also hurried back to the main hall and stood slightly behind Ying Zheng, taking this opportunity to quickly sort out his thoughts in order to survive.
The ministers gradually gathered together, all their eyes fell on Ying Chengjiao, but Ying Chengjiao did not pay attention to the gazes of the Qin monarch and his ministers, but just thought carefully in his heart.
Today, Ying Zheng conferred titles on all his ministers as soon as he got the heaven-given jade, which really caught Ying Chengjiao off guard.
Fortunately, Ying Chengjiao had discussed this matter in depth with Madam Han, Zhang Rang and others several years ago, and had already been on guard against it.
Ying Chengjiao holds two conclusions.
Firstly, the fact that Ying Zheng never gave additional fiefs to any prince except Ying Chengjiao, and even took back Lu Buwei's fief, shows that Ying Zheng's vision has never changed. Ying Zheng did not want the world to return to the era of the Zhou emperor, but wanted to rule the world with counties and not let any village in the Qin Dynasty escape his control.
Secondly, Ying Zheng did not want Ying Chengjiao to suffer any grievances. Ying Zheng felt that Ying Chengjiao had made great contributions and should be rewarded with fiefdoms. No matter whether Ying Chengjiao returned with a great victory or Ying Chengjiao had developed craftsmanship, as long as Ying Zheng could be given a reasonable reason, Ying Zheng would give Ying Chengjiao more fiefdoms.
But these two conclusions are in direct conflict!!!
It is true that Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao had a very close relationship. Ying Zheng felt that Ying Chengjiao was his only exception, and even if the county system was not fully implemented, Ying Chengjiao could not be wronged.
However, Ying Chengjiao was always very clear that the close friendship between Ying Chengjiao and Ying Zheng was not just because they were brothers, but also because Ying Chengjiao had been managing the business as always for more than a decade, because the two brothers always had the same interests, and because the two brothers always pointed their swords outwards!
Ying Chengjiao didn't know how long the relationship between Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao could last when the two brothers' interests conflicted and they turned their swords against each other one day. When Ying Chengjiao became Ying Zheng's biggest enemy, would Ying Zheng still think that Ying Chengjiao was his only exception?
Ying Chengjiao only knows that if he wants to protect a relationship, he must maintain it carefully and not do things that consume the feelings, nor be arrogant because of the favor, and even more so, do not try to test how strong it is, otherwise the relationship will surely break!
For the sake of brotherhood and his own life, Ying Chengjiao could not accept the additional fiefdom granted by Ying Zheng! Otherwise, one day in the future, Ying Zheng would be unhappy when he saw those towns and cities in the Qin territory that could not obey his orders, and the two brothers would become enemies.
For the sake of brotherhood and his own life, Ying Chengjiao needs to accept the fiefdom granted by Ying Zheng! Otherwise, Ying Zheng is likely to question the relationship between the brothers or feel resentful out of guilt, and the two brothers will become enemies.
Dilemma!
After all, this is my eldest brother. I can only try my best to comfort him!
Putting the pen back on the shelf, Ying Chengjiao slowly exhaled and rubbed his slightly sore wrist.
Ying Zheng stretched his neck to look at the silk in front of Ying Chengjiao. Although he could not understand anything, he was still delighted and asked expectantly, "What is this, my brother?"
Ying Zheng knew that Ying Chengjiao would not do anything meaningless at such a critical time of rewarding the generals.
The thing that could make Ying Chengjiao put aside such an important matter as discussing the rewards for the generals and return to the main hall on his own must be a treasure related to the Qin state!
Ying Chengjiao shook his head: "Brother, this is not the thing."
"It's the Kunyu map."
Upon hearing this, Wei Liao and other ministers also became interested. They stretched their necks over Ying Zheng's shoulders and looked at the silk in front of Ying Chengjiao with Ying Zheng.
"This place doesn't look like the land of China. Could it be the land of the Donghu?"
"That shouldn't be the case. There is little water in the Donghu land. How could there be such a sight of an island in the lake?"
"Could it be that this map depicts the land of Baiyue? Lord Chang'an! Our Great Qin has just been established, and we must not march south again!"
Wei Liao and other ministers had seen the most detailed Kunyu maps of various places, and their memory was enough to deeply imprint the Kunyu maps they had seen in their brains.
But no matter how they compared, they could not find any landforms in their memory that were similar to the Kunyu map drawn by Ying Chengjiao.
They only knew that the place that allowed Ying Chengjiao to take the time to draw at such a critical moment must be an important place that concerns the country's affairs!
Ying Zheng's attendants couldn't figure out where this was, so they asked, "I wonder which place your brother drew?"
Ying Chengjiao stood up, turned to look at Ying Zheng, and said seriously: "What I drew is not a map of a certain place."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It's the Kyushu Kunyu Map!"
Ying Zheng's eyes fell on the silk in front of Ying Chengjiao again. After a moment's silence, he asked, "Is this the Great Qin in my brother's eyes?"
Of course Ying Zheng knew what Jiuzhou meant, it was China!
However, the Kunyu map drawn by Ying Chengjiao seemed to show several islands located on a lake, which was completely different from the topography of China in Ying Zheng's mind, if not completely unrelated.
Ying Zheng thought about it and wondered if Ying Chengjiao didn't know Kunyutu? This was a huge joke!
As a general who swept across seven kingdoms, how could Ying Chengjiao not know Kunyu map? The Kunyu map of Donghu and Xiongnu in Qin Dynasty was drawn by his scouts under the order of Ying Chengjiao.
Therefore, Ying Zheng couldn't help but suspect that this might be the Kunyu map drawn by Ying Chengjiao from the perspective of a god!
Ying Chengjiao laughed, picked up the brush again, dipped some cinnabar and drew a red outline on the Kunyu map, and then wrote a seal character inside the red outline -
Qin!
Ying Zheng, Wei Liao, and Lu Buwei all had their pupils shrink, apparently having come up with a crazy guess, and they all stared at Ying Chengjiao with wide eyes.
Ying Chengjiao's eyes were still fixed on the Kunyu map. He put down his pen and changed the stick. He used the stick to draw a circle along the edge of the Kunyu map and said in a deep voice: "This Kunyu map of the Nine Provinces is not the small Kunyu map of the Nine Provinces, but the large Kunyu map of the Nine Provinces!"
"The area I just circled with cinnabar is the Great Qin in my eyes, and it is also the real position of the Great Qin in the Great Nine Provinces!"
Before Ying Chengjiao started drawing, none of the ministers could find any sense of familiarity in this picture.
But when Ying Chengjiao outlined the lines with cinnabar, the ministers were shocked to find that these lines were exactly the same as the border lines of the current Qin Dynasty!
At this moment, the ministers finally understood why they could not understand the Kunyu map in front of them no matter how hard they looked at it.
Because the places they guessed were only a small part of Daqin, and Daqin was only a small part of this Kunyu map!
