My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Ying Chengjiao's resolute attitude in repeatedly requesting made Ying Zheng narrow his eyes slightly, and he began to doubt Ying Chengjiao's true intentions.

After a few moments of silence, Ying Zheng slowly asked, "My brother, are you asking for Yingzhou as your fiefdom, or for all the fiefdoms to be returned to me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly turned cold. Many court officials looked surprised, but in the next instant they were chilled.

Ying Chengjiao took out the Great Nine Provinces Kunyu Map and requested to be granted the title of Yingzhou in exchange for all his fiefs except Chang'an Township and his military merits in this battle. On the surface, Ying Chengjiao's advice was undoubtedly in support of the feudal system, but if Ying Zheng really agreed to this advice, the final result would be that Ying Chengjiao would only retain a fief adjacent to the capital, and no other fiefs, which would have encouraged the county system to the greatest extent within the legal scope!

Facing the ministers' surprised or anxious gazes, and seeing the doubt and inquiry in Ying Zheng's eyes, Ying Chengjiao did not explain, but instead became annoyed: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean I want to return all the fiefs to you, elder brother?"

"What belongs to elder brother is younger brother's, and what belongs to younger brother is elder brother's. How can there be any such thing as returning it?"

"Brother, you have clearly announced to the world that if you pass away, I will succeed you as King of Qin!"

"Why? When we were fighting for the throne, we said that you wanted to pass the throne to me."

"Now that we have conquered the world, you, elder brother, have become stingy with me and are even sharing yours with me?"

"Hmph!" Ying Chengjiao said coldly, "Your Majesty, do you regard me as a good bowman, a running dog, or a Fan Li?"

"If that is the case, then I will simply return Chang'an Township to the king, and take my mother and servants across the ocean to Yingzhou. There is no need for the king to bother hiding or cooking them!"

Ministers:!!!

Is this something we are destined to hear?

When Ying Zheng heard Ying Chengjiao call Ying Zheng "King" and himself "minister", his face changed drastically. He stood up and walked towards Ying Chengjiao, saying repeatedly: "Brother, you have absolutely no such intention!"

"It was my brother who just said that he would return many fiefs to the court..."

Before Ying Zheng could finish, Ying Chengjiao angrily shouted, "What do you mean by not having such intention?"

"I said return it to the court, not to the king!"

"When the king dies, won't this court belong to me?"

"If Your Majesty wishes to go back on your word, I am powerless to stop you. Your Majesty can just issue a notice to the world again, denying my edict of succession to the throne!"

Lu Buwei looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, Yang Duanhe covered his ears and recited military strategies silently, Wei Zhuang was fascinated by staring at the ants on the ground, Wang Ben fell asleep in a second, all the ministers in the hall pretended not to hear anything, and Meng Wu even wanted to slap himself. Why did he come back after slipping away just now?

Chang'an Jun said on the left that the birds have all flown away and the good bows are put away, and on the right that the king is about to die, and then he added that the whole court belongs to him.

Every sentence was a high-risk statement. Anyone except Ying Chengjiao who said one would not survive the day.

Who wouldn't panic after hearing this?

Ying Zheng was also a little panicked after hearing this, and hurriedly reached out to grab Ying Chengjiao's arm: "Brother, you really didn't mean that!"

"Brother, I have no intention of regretting. If you pass away, the Great Qin will be managed by you, and the court will naturally belong to you. Brother, I just..."

Ying Chengjiao pretended to shake his arm, but still failed to 'break free' from Ying Zheng's hand. However, Ying Chengjiao still glared at Ying Zheng and asked, "If it's not that, what do you mean?"

"I want to hand over my fiefdom only to prevent the people of the world from thinking that the king is unfair in his rewards and punishments. All I think, worry about, and do is for the sake of the Qin Dynasty."

"What did the king mean by that just now?"

Ying Zheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell Ying Chengjiao the truth. He just wanted to test Ying Chengjiao's true intention.

Without giving Ying Zheng time to think, Ying Chengjiao's tone instantly changed from furious to ambiguous: "Haha~ I forgot that the king said he wanted to pass the throne to me, not the throne of the emperor."

"Now that Your Majesty is about to become the Emperor, this edict will naturally be invalid, right?!"

"That's right, I can't compare to you, my king. You are so majestic, as to say that you are as virtuous as the Three Sovereigns and as powerful as the Five Emperors. I am just a common man, and I can only wield a spear and a stick all day long."

"Now that the war is over, I have finally been abandoned by the king."

Ying Zheng was furious and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense and making trouble! Don't say such things again!"

"I should know that you have no..."

Ying Chengjiao's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself with his free hand: "Am I talking nonsense? Am I talking nonsense?"

"I have always been concerned about the Great Qin and the King. I would rather reduce my own expenses than let the world think that the King is unfair in rewarding and punishing. But is this my fault?"

“Good, good, good!”

"Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the king! If the king orders his subjects to die, they must die!"

"I am greedy, may I apologize to the king?!"

Ying Zheng closed his eyes in pain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It is obviously my younger brother who is making trouble, but the premise of his making trouble is that I said something wrong and hurt his feelings. But I was just testing him with good intentions. Why should my younger brother keep pursuing me?

Beat? It's my fault. I can't do it.

Scold? My brother is wronged, I can't open my mouth.

Punishment? That's even more impossible. This is my brother. How can I bear to punish him like other ministers? And if I really did that, wouldn't it make my brother think that I'm going to hide my good bows after all the birds have flown away? The brotherly relationship will be broken in an instant!

This feeling is so painful!

The dissatisfaction in Ying Chengjiao's voice became stronger: "Your Majesty, are you still closing your eyes?"

"Why, has the king disliked me so much that he doesn't even want to see me?"

"Then I will simply return Chang'an Township to the king, and we will part ways and live happily ever after!"

"Never again!"

Ying Zheng felt even more helpless and painful.

I only have this one brother, and he’s the best brother in the world. What can I do?

I can only coax him!

Ying Zheng opened his eyes, and said in a soft and gentle voice, unable to conceal his fatigue: "Brother, you agreed!"

"Yes!"

"After my brother offers sacrifice to the heaven, the throne will be announced to the world again. If my brother dies, I, the prince, will inherit his throne."

"My brother, please don't say such words again."

"Your Highness, you don't know how much pain you feel when you hear this!"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao sincerely and said, "Brother, I swear to the heavens and the earth!"

"If the younger brother does not betray the older brother, the older brother will never betray the younger brother!"
