Chapter 46: Endurance
"Dang~" There was a sound of swords clashing, the long sword fell to the ground, and Zhao Cheng flew backwards. At the same time, a young man in black and white embroidery clothes appeared on the scene. Who else could it be but Jin Yao.
"Who is it!" When a group of playboys saw Zhao Cheng being kicked out, several of them went to help Zhao Cheng up, and the rest of them ignored Ying Zheng and surrounded Jin Yao.
"Is this how you guys use the blood of the Zhao people to bully a child who has no power to fight back?" Jin Yao looked coldly at the dandies around him.
"He is a Qin man!" Zhao Qi said angrily, "As Zhao people, we should be united against the enemy. Why would you save a Qin man?"
"Fourth brother, don't waste your words on him. He is in the same group with the Qin people as they are helping them!" After being helped up, Zhao Cheng immediately thought that Jin Yao was in the same group as Ying Zheng.
"Qin people? Zhao people?" Jin Yao smiled and shook his head, looking at the playboys around him, "I can beat ten of you!"
"But there are twelve of them!" Ying Zheng didn't know when he came behind Jin Yao and helped him block the people behind him with his back to back.
"..." Jin Yao was speechless. Brother Zheng, are you a devil ? When will you destroy my stage again?
"Are you sure you want to do it?" Jin Yao took a step back, letting Ying Zheng behind him, and said calmly, "Zhao Zheng is a hostage of Qin. His father is now the crown prince of Qin. If you are not afraid that killing him will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries and attract a large-scale attack by the Qin army, then you can do it, Gongzi Cheng!"
"You!" Zhao Cheng and Zhao Qi looked at Ying Zheng, and the other playboys were also panicked. They knew very well the difference between a hostage with no status and the son of a crown prince. They drew their daggers but dared not take another step forward.
"Even though I give you opportunities, you are useless. What else can you do except bullying the weak? Go home and stop bringing shame to the people of Zhao!" Jin Yao continued to mock.
"You said that the guy who even abandoned his wife and ran away is the Crown Prince of Qin. He is the Crown Prince of Qin!" Zhao Cheng finally found the loophole.
If Qin Yiren really became the crown prince of Qin, how could he not know as a prince of Zhao? It must be fake, a lie to him!
"If you don't believe me, just try it. If Zhao Zheng dies, I will offer wine at your grave on this time next year!" Jin Yao put Lingxu back into the sheath, gave up his position, made a gesture of invitation, and waited for Zhao Cheng, Zhao Qi and others to take action.
However, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Qi were still scared and did not dare to take another step forward.
"I will let you two go today. If I find out that you lied to me, I have a hundred ways to prevent you from leaving Handan alive!" Zhao Cheng and Zhao Qi didn't dare to take any more action. They turned around and left, waiting to go back and confirm the truth of the news.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Qi had just left Wenming Palace when they ran into the little princess Zhao Qian.
"Why is Sister Qian'er here?" Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"I came here with Brother Shangqing. Brother Shangqing just went in. Didn't you see him?" Zhao Qian asked with her head tilted in the same confusion.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Qi had an ominous premonition in their hearts. The thirteen-year-old boy in black and white embroidery, holding a gorgeous sword, was that the Shangqing newly appointed by their father!
"Are you panicking now?" At this time, Jin Yao also came out with Ying Zheng, looking at Zhao Cheng, Zhao Qi, and a bunch of playboys with amusement.
"You tell me, if General Lian Po and I ask the king for orders together, we don't need to recruit all the noble children into the army, but just name a few of you, will the king agree?" Jin Yao smiled and revealed his white teeth.
Zhao Cheng, Zhao Qi and the other playboys shuddered all over. They were certain that if this seemingly harmless young man and General Lian Po wrote a letter together, their father would definitely agree.
They don't want to die. 130,000 against 600,000, that's a large cemetery!
"I gave you a second chance, but you still didn't seize it!" Jin Yao sneered and shook his head. He took Ying Zheng and pushed away the playboys blocking the door and walked through the street.
"Brother Shangqing, wait for me!" Zhao Qian caught up with Jin Yao again with her short legs.
"Second chance? What chance?" The relatively calm Zhao Qi looked at the departing figure with some confusion.
"Qi brother, you are stupid. The battle between Yan and Zhao is a deadly pit. There is no chance at all!" Zhao Cheng shook his head in disbelief.
"I hope he won't tell the king!" The playboys were also afraid. Killing a country's hostage was a serious crime, especially since the other party might have become really prominent now.
"If you don't change your character, you won't survive the second episode of the story even if you return to Qin!" Jin Yao looked at Ying Zheng and reminded him.
The situation in Qin State is more complicated. The Chu faction is rising again, and Ying Zheng's other brother Cheng Jiao has Chu blood.
He didn't know how the historical Ying Zheng lived to succeed to the throne, but if the current Ying Zheng didn't change and didn't know how to endure, it would be really difficult for him to live to the second episode after returning to Xianyang.
"But they insulted my mother!" Ying Zheng said angrily.
"This is tolerable, Confucianism, The Analects, The Eight Pieces of Music.
I can only endure filth with all my strength, and I know nothing else. ——Zhuangzi·Ren Wang
My son, bear with it. ——Zuo Zhuan, the second year of Chenggong.
If you cannot bear small things, you will ruin your great plans. -- The Analects of Confucius, Duke Ling of Wei
"Only when one is willing to endure selfishness can one be public-spirited. --Xunzi, Confucianism."
Jin Yao did not refute, but spoke lightly.
Ying Zheng and Zhao Qian both looked bewildered, and then looked at Jin Yao stupidly. They had never heard of it before, but they felt that he was so knowledgeable.
Seeing the bewilderment of Ying Zheng and Zhao Qian, Jin Yao was happy. Do you really think that I have read your books for nothing for so long and that you cannot be calmed down?
"So, you haven't even read the books of sages, so what qualifications do you have to be angry or upset?" Jin Yao looked at Ying Zheng and asked back.
If I had a cheat code, I should be able to unlock a new achievement at this time, "Teach the Greatest Emperor of All Time!"
It’s a pity, alas, I have failed to summon the golden finger for many days, I miss it!
"I will follow my brother's teachings!" Ying Zheng also put away his anger and accepted the teachings with an open mind.
"When I tell them your identity, I'm not just telling them, I'm also telling you!" Jin Yao continued.
"If you were just an ordinary hostage with no status, it wouldn't matter if you were uneducated or unskilled, but your father, Zichu is already the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, and you will be the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty and the future King of Qin. Therefore, this identity destined you to be extraordinary throughout your life!" Jin Yao took Ying Zheng through the streets of Handan, pointing at the pedestrians and merchants on the roadside and said.
"If you are willing to be a peddler like them and live a mediocre life, then you can continue to be angry and fight with those who bully you and your mother. But if you want to be a qualified king, then you must learn to be patient, endure what ordinary people cannot endure, do extraordinary things, and become as wise as King Tang!"
"What kind of person do you want to be?" Jin Yao squatted down and asked Ying Zheng seriously.
"Please teach me, sir!" Ying Zheng suddenly realized that the person in front of him would be someone who could change his life, so he showed respect, bowed and called him sir.
