In the study, only Ying Zheng's roar could be heard. Everyone could only hang their heads quietly, not daring to say a word. They could only hope that the Emperor would calm down after his fury.
As for Mu Wu and Huhai, they were the most miserable ones. They knelt on the ground and listened to the lecture, one after the other. Although they were extremely unhappy, Mu Wu knew that there was no room for negotiation in front of the current Ying Zheng.
In his boredom, he began to think about whether he should use the system of master and servant when he ascended the throne in the future. His saliva flew everywhere on the top, and the people below knelt on the ground to listen to the lecture.
Thinking about it, he was quite satisfied. He even felt a perverted pleasure. Power was really the most beautiful thing in the world. At least he didn't have to kneel to anyone, even his cheap father.
"The Xianyang Palace is so big, and there are so many guards, but they can't even stop Ge Nia! What use do I have for you? Do you have to wait until I die before you are satisfied?”
Ying Zheng slammed his palm heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.
Everyone immediately knelt down and shouted,"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Mu Wu felt much better now. At least he didn't have to kneel down alone. He couldn't help but feel a little resentful. If it wasn't for last night's indulgence, he wouldn't have wasted time in the morning.
This group of people was very fast. They were probably already prepared before the eunuch arrived at their residence.
"Forgive me! Please forgive me! What else can you say other than this? What's the use of me raising you!" Ying Zheng's cold gaze swept across the crowd, like a sharp blade, making these people feel as if a knife was pointed at their backs.
After roaring for a long time, Ying Zheng finally vented out the anger in his heart. Kneeling behind the table, he said,""Alright, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Mu Wu also stood up together with Li Si and the others. Poor Huhai looked at Mu Wu in a daze, feeling surprised. Although Ying Zheng did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he wanted Li Si and the others to stand up, not the two of them.
Thinking of this, Huhai got excited and decided to watch Mu Wu's show.
Seeing Mu Wu stand up with the others, Ying Zheng was not angry. Instead, he laughed and asked,""Muwu, when did I let you get up?”
"Didn't Imperial Father say 'get up'?" Mu Wu feigned ignorance. Could it be that Imperial Father was planning to go back on his word?”Ying Zheng could not help but laugh. But now that he had vented his anger, Mu Wu's act of pretending to be dumb made him feel a little happy. So, he deliberately threw a look at Mu Wu, but did not let him kneel down again.
Huhai looked at all of this with his mouth agape, and could not help but curse in his heart. He wanted to stand up as well, but when he saw Ying Zheng's serious face, he lost the courage to do so.
Ying Zheng seemed to have forgotten about him as well. When Zhao Gao, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, saw Huhai's appearance, he felt even more helpless. Could such a Huhai really win against Fusu and Mu Wu in the fight for the throne?
For some reason, Zhao Gao felt more and more uncertain.
"All of you should already know what happened last night, so I won't say much. Who will be in charge of taking Ge Nia down?”Ying Zheng stared at the people below.
Li Si and the others did not say anything. Even though Great Qin had unified the six countries, its rule over them was not as firm as Great Qin's, and there were still people resisting from time to time. Moreover, after many years of war, all of the regions had become barren and uninhabited. It was undoubtedly too difficult to find Ge Nia in this situation.
Especially since Ge Nia wasn't as strong as a city and was traveling in the wilderness, it would be even more impossible to find him. After all, it wasn't like two thousand years later, when a population of only 20 million occupied most of the land except for Tibet, Xinjiang, Mongolia, and the Pearl River Delta. Moreover, most of the population was gathered in the city, in small groups.
As long as one had the heart, it was easy for one to avoid being hunted down.
Therefore, no one was willing to take on this mission. It was too difficult. This was not a matter of personal ability, but a matter of the environment.
"Li Si." Ying Zheng called out.
Li Si stood up and thought about it before saying,""Your Majesty, right now, we can only issue a warrant for arrest and get the attention of the local governments. Then, we can send a net to track them down. It's much easier for the net to carry out such a mission than the government.”
Zhao Gao cursed in his heart, but Li Si was right. The Network was an assassination and intelligence gathering organization, so it was naturally much easier for them to do such things than the Empire's power on the surface.
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded. What Li Si said made sense.
Zhao Gao stood up and said," Your Majesty, this servant is willing to share your worries. However, this servant has been in the palace all year round. In this servant's opinion, someone must take the lead in this matter. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the people below will not do their best."”
"Zhao Gao, do you have anyone in mind?" Ying Zheng asked after thinking for a moment.”
Zhao Gao's lips curled into an evil smile as he said,""Lord Wu Xiang's martial arts are strong, and his status is sufficient. Furthermore, he's temporarily idle at home. Why don't we hand him over? The Network is willing to assist Lord Wu Xiang in capturing Ge Nia.”
Zhao Gao's original intention was that it would not be easy to capture Ge Nia. If this dragged on for too long, the Emperor would naturally be dissatisfied with Mu Wu. This would weaken Mu Wu's position in the Emperor's heart.
Mu Wu didn't care at all. On the contrary, his smiling eyes made Zhao Gao feel a little uneasy, as if he had stepped into Mu Wu's trap.
Zhao Gao didn't know that this was an opportunity for Mu Wu.
However, Ge Nia's martial arts skills were extremely high, and he was alone in the vast Six Nations. Even the net that had power all over the world would not be able to find him, so how could Mu Wu catch him?
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to Mu Wu. Muwu, do you have anything to say?”
"Your son is willing to share Imperial Father's worries, but your son hopes Imperial Father can agree to one condition of your son.”Mu Wu stood up and said.
"Speak." Ying Zheng nodded.
"Imperial Father, please pardon the crimes of Zhao Meng and the three hundred guards.”
