In the Qin royal palace.
Ying Ziyi and Brother Zheng were only separated by a pool of clear water. On the throne, Brother Zheng looked at Ying Ziyi with his usual dignity and didn't say anything. Under the throne, in front of the clear water, Ying Zige stood there in a daze. As the saying goes, if the enemy doesn't move, I don't move. Let's see who can hold on? After Ying Ziyi greeted them, the two of them remained in a stalemate for a long time.
"You did a lot better than I thought. You defeated the Yan Country with just a hundred thousand troops. I should have rewarded you.”Brother Zheng opened his mouth, but he stopped halfway.
Ying Zige was still waiting for the 'but'.
"However, your series of actions in the Yan Country have puzzled me. Can you tell me why?”
"What is Father talking about?" Ying Ziyi cupped his hands and asked.”
"They spent a lot of money to build a school in Yan Land and invited more than ten famous Confucians to teach.”
"I just thought it was fun." Ying Ziyi laughed. When he did this, he had already asked Brother Zheng in advance, and Brother Zheng had agreed at that time. Why did he bring it up now?
"Is it fun?" Brother Zheng's expression changed several times, but he suppressed it in the end. "You should know that the Great Qin Empire uses Legalism to govern the country.”
"Your son knows."
"You should know that a large number of important officials, including Li Si, are disciples of the Legalism school, right?”
"Your son knows."
"How do you think those so-called great scholars you invited compare to Li Si and the others?”
"Vulgar scholars do not understand the times, like the ancient and not the present, making people dizzy in name and reality, not knowing what to do, not worthy of appointment. Lord Li Si attached great importance to the law, knew the key, understood the times, assisted the king above, and stabilized the officials below, so he became a good prime minister. All the ministers from the Legalism School in the court were outstanding talents.”
"If so, why?"
After a few questions, the meaning behind Brother Zheng's words was already very obvious. Since you know, why did you spend so much money to hire those scholars? Furthermore, even though Li Si had studied Confucianism in his early years, he was not on good terms with Confucianism. By doing this, you are offending a large number of important officials in power.
"The Great Qin Dynasty flourished with laws and ruled the world in the 800-mile Guanzhong. However, with the vastness of the world, laws alone are not enough to defend it.”
"What big words!" Brother Zheng shouted.
"Your son does not dare." Ying Ziyi lowered his head and waited respectfully.
Brother Zheng berated him and did not say anything else. Facing Ying Ziyi, who was spinning like a top, Brother Zheng felt tired.
All the officials of Great Qin, including Li Si, would be terrified when they saw Brother Zheng. Why would they have to go through so much trouble?
"You may leave! I will give you five of the ten carriages of goods you brought back to Xianyang. In addition, I will give you the Yuan Hong. As your reward for destroying the Yan Country.”
"F * ck!" Ying Ziyi was hurt. He had brought back more than ten carriages of goods, and he had originally planned to keep them all for himself. Now, he only got five carriages. It was a huge loss. Which bastard leaked it? He had disguised himself very well along the way. Even the soldiers escorting the goods thought that it was a local specialty of the Yan Country. How did Brother Zheng know?
As for Yuan Hong, Ying Ziyi didn't really care. Although he failed the side quest, he didn't get the remnant rainbow. However, he didn't know how to use a sword.
Just as Ying Zige left, an old man with white hair and a long beard walked out from the side of the spacious Qin Palace. He wore a long white robe and a black robe. He walked in front of Qin Wang and simply cupped his hands in greeting. Brother Zheng did not seem to care.
"Mister Wei Liao, how is this kid?"
"It's slippery." Wei Liaozi simply commented.
Ying Zheng smiled, agreeing with Wei Liaozi's evaluation." That's true. I want to entrust you with an important task. What do you think?”
"Your Majesty, this child is indeed extraordinary. Perhaps it would be a crucial stroke for the king's great cause. However, if you put him in an important position too early, I'm afraid it's not good for the 14th son.”
"I understand!"
......
"That bastard Ying Ziyi is back?”Huhai asked angrily.
"Yes, I have already met the king.”No matter when, Zhao Gao's voice was always so cold, with a trace of coldness, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Humph! This bastard had made a great contribution this time. It would be more and more difficult to deal with him in the future.”Huhai clapped his hands, his eyes burning with anger. Although he was young, he was already very scheming and narrow-minded, and Zhao Gao was naturally responsible for this.
"Actually, it's not difficult to deal with him?" Zhao Gao smiled. If it was just an ordinary six-year-old child, even if he was the son of the State of Qin, Zhao Gao would not care much. However, Ying Ziyi's actions in the Yan Country made him deeply afraid. He had a vague feeling that his ambition might be ruined because of this six-year-old child. Therefore, he wanted to get rid of Ying Ziyi before he grew strong enough to threaten him.
"What do you mean?" Huhai was interested.
"Although Ying Ziyi's actions in Yan Country were wonderful, he also offended a large number of people.”
"Oh? Who is it?"
"A large group of Legalists led by Li Si. In the court, they were already an important force that could influence the king's decisions. Moreover, among the many young masters of the imperial clan, there were many who were worried about the 14th young master who was in the limelight. For example, Young Master Fusu."
"Fu Su? That kid?" Even though he helped Huhai up, there wasn't much respect in Huhai's tone. Instead, she wondered why her brother, who looked like a good-for-nothing, would attack her younger brother.
"Young Master Fusu is indecisive, but the power behind him cannot be underestimated. The Shennong Token this time was the best proof. The net had found out that the reason why the farmers had taken action this time was probably because of Lord Changping. Lord Chang Ping was the prime minister, and the power behind him was something that even the king feared. Lord Chang Ping would not sit idly by and watch this greatest threat to Young Master Fu Su's succession to the throne slowly grow. Ying Ziyi had offended so many people, so he only needed one reason to deal with him. Once Ying Ziyi made a mistake, with so many people stepping forward, even the King would not be able to protect him.”
"Then, how should we deal with Ying Ziyi?”Huhai smiled happily.
"We can."
What Ying Ziyi didn't know was that a desire had already started to brew.
......
Lord Changping's Mansion.
"Lord Changping!" Fu Su was still as gentle and refined as ever. When he saw this elder, he cupped his hands and bowed.
The Qin and Chu countries had intermarried for generations. The sons of the Qin country might have the blood of the royal family of the Chu country flowing in their veins. There were also many people in the royal family of the Chu country whose mothers were from the Qin country.
Lord Changping was the best example. He was originally a young master of the Chu Country, but he was an official in the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, he was the prime minister of two dynasties, and his foundation in the court was very deep. Because his mother was the princess of Qin State, and his maternal grandfather was King Zhaoxiang of Qin State.
"Young Master, you can't give me such a big bow.”Lord Chang Ping hurriedly stopped him.
"I should." Fu Su was very respectful.
Lord Chang Ping asked Su Yan to sit down and asked,"What is the meaning of Young Master's visit?"
"Recently, I heard some rumors about my 14th brother Ying Ziyi.”
Just as Fu Su was about to speak, he was stopped by Lord Chang Ping. "I don't have much time left."
"Lord Changping!"
"I shouldn't say this, but ever since Lu Buwei left, I've become a thorn in His Majesty's heart. At the very least, I have to pave the way for Young Master's future before I leave.”
Lord Chang Ping said leisurely. On his face, the wrinkled skin trembled, but his dark eyes were incomparably firm.
