"Baiqi disobeyed the king's orders and openly mocked me in court. He even missed the perfect opportunity to destroy Zhao.”
"Rui 'er, you still want to speak up for him? This one is too disappointed.”
It had to be said that Ying Ji was an experienced ruler. He used the position of Crown Prince as bait to test his grandson's will and determination.
"After the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao was shaken. At that time, it was the time when they hated Old General Bai the most. It would instead arouse a strong resistance. It is indeed not suitable to appoint him to send troops.”
Seeing this, how could Ying Rui think that it was real? He naturally wouldn't be fooled easily.
"Facing the great temptation of the position of Crown Prince, you are indifferent and your thoughts are so clear.”
The Crown Prince was the King of Qin, and no one would not be tempted. Ying Ji secretly nodded and planned to continue the conversation.
Especially when he pointed out the reason for the failure to attack the Zhao Country. At that time, only he and Baiqi knew about it, and his perspective was indeed unique.
Great Qin would definitely unify the world and end the hundreds of years of chaos. How could it not have a long-term strategic vision?
"Rui 'er, you don't have any political awareness at all. Hurry up and leave the palace!”
It sounded like he was chasing Ying Rui away, and his tone became extremely stern. In reality, Ying Ji still hoped that his grandson Ying Rui could hold on.
"Even though grandfather has chased Rui 'er away, I still have to say that Old General Bai cannot be killed.”
"That's Great Qin's sharp blade. If we kill him, we'll lose the morale of the army and even shake the system of military merits and titles. If we kill him, the six countries will celebrate.”
Hearing this, Ying Rui did not flinch at all and spoke without hesitation.
"Alright, then tell me, do you know why grandfather wanted to kill Bai Qi?”
Ying Ji was very familiar with the way he used his power, he pretended to smile instead of getting angry.
The reason why they wanted to kill Great Qin's sharp blades was quite complicated, and it was impossible to tell without some skill.
"Old General Bai is an honest and straightforward person. It's true that he went against my grandfather, but he did all of this so that Great Qin wouldn't lose any soldiers.”
Ying Rui ignored his grandfather's so-called anger and answered word by word.
"Continue…"
Ying Ji was getting more and more expectant of the royal grandson's performance today. He had a preliminary plan to confer the title, but he maintained a cold reaction on the surface.
"The reason why grandfather wanted to kill Old General Bai was because he wanted to use the current representative of the Chu faction to further weaken their power.”
"In terms of politics, there is no more nobility to be conferred, and it is a serious threat to Great Qin's authority. If we are not careful, it will cause chaos.”
Ying Rui remained calm as he stared at the cold gaze. He understood that he would only become fiercer in the following test.
His great-grandmother was the first empress dowager in history, Mi Yue. Which one of her roles was simple?
" He explained everything in a few words and saw the stakes involved. After so many years, he finally had an heir.”
Hearing this, Ying Ji almost couldn't help but exclaim. His old hands tightly pinched his knees, showing his excitement.
Because if they really couldn't find a suitable candidate, they could only helplessly choose a general from the short ones.
"Since you know everything about me, you still deliberately violated the law, don't you think so?”
With a sense of satisfaction, Ying Ji intentionally increased the pitch of his voice. With the imposing manner of a king, he pointed at the prince in front of him.
"Yes, but everything depends on whether the king can control it. It's not Old General Bai's fault.”
Ying Rui raised his head and replied firmly,"
" Defiant grandson, defiant grandson, defiant grandson…"
After decades of court politics, Ying Ji's reaction was just right. He called out the words 'rebel grandson'.
It looked as if he was unable to control his anger. His beard even trembled a little, and it was no different from the real scene.
"Let me ask you, are you admitting your mistake or not?”
Ying Ji, who seemed to be burning with anger but was actually a little happy, narrowed his eyes and asked.
He was worried that the royal grandson might back down. He had to hold on…
After all, after a series of conversations, whether it was courage or political insight, he was basically one of the top choices. At the very least, he had the qualifications of a hero.
"What's wrong with having a clear conscience and speaking from the bottom of my heart?”
Ying Rui's acting skills were off the charts. He didn't back down even a step.
“呯!”
Immediately after, the furious Ying Ji pulled out his ancestral Mu Gong Sword and directly split the wooden table in front of him into two, sending splinters everywhere.
"I will give you another chance to correct your mistake. Apologize or not?”
"If you don't admit your mistake, just like the wooden case just now, you will be executed for treason!”
Perhaps it was because Ying Ji had reached the last segment, but with every word he said, his aura became sharper and his gaze became sharper as he stared at Ying Rui.
The murderous aura was so strong that it was almost tangible. When others saw it, they did not doubt that it would really kill their own grandson.
"Grandfather, it's still the same. For the sake of Great Qin's unification, I have no regrets even if I die!”
Feeling the substantial aura enveloping his entire body, especially that pair of eyes that were filled with killing intent, Ying Rui still did not move. Instead, he looked as if he was willing to sacrifice his life for the country.
"Good, good, good!"
It was unknown whether Ying Ji was cheering for the heir or pretending to be furious, but he laughed instead of being angry.
"Men, kill this rebellious grandson for me. This is truly treasonous.”
As he spoke, Ying Ji's tone was devoid of any warmth, only coldness.
However, he didn't shout out loud to the outside of the hall. Instead, he spoke in a normal tone to the surroundings. It was obvious that he was signaling the members of the Black Ice Platform to take action.
"The older the wiser…"
If he didn't know everything beforehand and had not transmigrated from the future, Ying Rui felt that he might have been set up. The wisdom of the ancients was indeed not to be underestimated.
However, there were no ifs; Great Qin was determined to obtain the throne!
"Today, I've died in exchange for a sharp blade. The seven kingdoms of the world will stand side by side and will eventually belong to Great Qin!”
After he finished speaking, Ying Rui didn't say another word. Instead, he picked up a sword beside him, and his gesture was the prelude to suicide.
"Stop him, stop him immediately, stop him!”
Seeing this scene, Ying Ji couldn't help but be shocked. He even omitted his own name.
What kind of joke was this? It was not easy to find a satisfactory heir. Naturally, he would be appointed as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. How could he bear to kill him?
"Swoosh!"
With a soft echo, a shadow suddenly flashed across the line of sight of the southern members of the Black Ice Platform under Ying Ji's control.
