The snow-white sheet was covered by dazzling blood-red plums. Up until now, Ying Zheng was still in a daze, as if he was in a dream.
He…he was actually raped by Goddess Yan Fei in Qin Shi Ming Yue…
Not long ago, he had forced the Moon Goddess to submit to him like a demon, but the cycle of karma was not good enough, and Lady Yan had just done the same thing to him, which made Ying Zheng feel that fate was playing a trick on him!
Just as Ying Zheng was lost in his thoughts, the beautiful Moon Goddess walked in with a fragrant breeze. She glanced at the plum blossoms on the blanket and said in surprise,"
"Isn't Your Majesty's plan to slowly compete with Consort Yan in patience? Why did you suddenly…?"
Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly. He didn't know how to answer the Moon Goddess 'question about a woman who had been blinded by the desire for revenge and had now run away.
"I didn't expect that there would be a time when the king would be defeated!!”
Seeing that Ying Zheng's expression was not right, the Moon Goddess did not ask further. Instead, she covered her mouth with her jade-like hand and laughed charmingly, then said softly,"
"Meng Tian and Zhang Han are requesting an audience outside the palace. Consort Yan's matter is just a small matter, Your Majesty should prioritize the country's matters!!”
As they were talking, the gentle and beautiful Moon Goddess had already put on a coat for Ying Zheng, showing off her virtue as a wife.
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng stood on the high platform, his chest puffed out and his head held high.
Below, the commander of the Shadow Secret Guards, Zhang Han, and the general, Meng Tian, were kneeling in the spacious hall. They said in unison,"
"Your subject Meng Tian (Zhang Han) greets Your Majesty!!”
"Why have you two come to see me?”
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Han and Meng Tian looked at each other. In the end, Zhang Han spoke first,"
" According to His Majesty's instructions, the Shadow Secret Guards are fully supporting Miss Liwu in developing the Tianwu Assassin Regiment. Xiao Xiang Garden has also been opened in various countries. There is a steady stream of information from various countries. Everything is on the right track, but..."
"It's just that Zhao Gao seems to have made some small moves recently. After Lu Buwei's death, Zhao Gao took over everything in the Network. Now that he's the commander of the Network, he seems to be unable to sit still, and his relationship with Wang Li is a little too close!!”
"You must remember that Zhao Gao is not your enemy, but your friend.”
Ying Zheng held his head high and puffed out his chest, his pair of starry eyes were deep as he said slowly,"
"Although Zhao Gao is ambitious and unwilling to be under others, and is an existence that can cause death at any time, he is also an extremely talented and intelligent genius. Compared to you, Zhang Han, he is definitely not inferior!”
"Don't be unconvinced!"
Sensing the change in Zhang Han's mood, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up slightly, but his voice was still calm,"
"As a citizen of the State of Zhao, Zhao Gao has walked step by step to where he is today. He is an extremely important official in the network.”
"Think about it, if you go to Zhao State alone, will your achievements be better than Zhao Qiang?”
"This subject is ignorant!"
After all, Zhang Han was not a person who liked to be competitive, and the example that Ying Zheng gave was not without reason.
"You're not stupid; you're just too loyal and worried. You're afraid that Zhao Gao and Wang Li will rebel in Great Qin, so you forgot to think!!”
Zhang Han and Meng Tian subconsciously exchanged a glance, as if they did not understand Ying Zheng's inconsistent attitude. But as officials, they knew that they could not casually guess the Emperor's heart.
Just as the two of them were at a loss, Ying Zheng's deep voice continued,"
"Otherwise, just because you tried to sow discord between me and the officials in the court, wanting to use me to eliminate Zhao Gao and take the opportunity to monopolize the government, it's enough for you to kill nine families!!”
"This subject deserves to die ten thousand times!"
Before Ying Zheng could finish his sentence, Zhang Han, whose face was already pale and covered in cold sweat, hurriedly pleaded for forgiveness. Even Meng Tian, who was beside him, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and at the same time, she braced herself and pleaded for Zhang Han,"
"Your Majesty, even though Zhang Han has done something wrong, he is loyal to Your Majesty and Great Qin. If it wasn't for Great Qin, Zhang Han would never dare to offend Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please show mercy on account of his loyalty!!”
"Zhao Gao, Wang Li, Meng Tian, and Zhang Han, I know very well who is loyal and who is treacherous among the four of you.”
Ying Zheng, who was sitting on a high seat, tapped his index finger lightly on the table that was piled with bamboo slips. He looked down at Zhang Han and the other man with a calm expression and said,"
"Moreover, if I wanted to punish you, do you think you would still have the chance to kneel in front of me?”
Zhang Han and Meng Tian heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Zhang Han hurriedly thanked them,""This subject thanks the king for his kindness!"
"Zhang Han, Meng Tian, I know that you two are loyal to Great Qin, but that doesn't mean that I will allow you two to control the intelligence and military.”
"If it really comes to that, even if I don't do anything to you, the officials in the court will not tolerate the two of you taking control of power. At that time, just the impeachment of the officials in the court will make the two of you suffer, not to mention that the two of you are so close.”
Zhang Han and Meng Tian's backs were already drenched in cold sweat, but Ying Zheng's calm and deep voice continued,"
"This is also why I said that Zhao Gao is not your enemy, but your friend. Only with Zhao Gao around can I trust you, Zhang Han, and only with Wang Li around can I let you lead the army. Even if I know that you are loyal, Great Qin will not allow anyone else to control everything.”
"You shouldn't worry about Zhao Gao and Wang Li, nor should you be afraid of them. No matter what they do, they will be doing things for Great Qin. If they dare to cross this line, it will mean their death.”
"You shouldn't keep a respectful distance from them; you should get close to them and understand them like friends. You should do better than them and do things faster than them. If this continues, no matter how much they work together, they won't be able to cause any trouble, and Great Qin will become even stronger because of your competition!!”
Retracting the bright light in his eyes, Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and Meng Tian and said,"
"Do you understand my words?”
To put it bluntly, Zhang Han, Meng Tian, Zhao Gao, and Wang Li were just like the mobile and communications companies in the future. As long as they were within the bottom line, they could compete however they wanted, but they would never allow any one company to monopolize the network information industry.
Because only through competition could one improve.
Just like how Zhang Han's Shadow Secret Guard and Zhao Gao's Network were constantly competing, as long as they could create benefits for Great Qin and not touch Ying Zheng's bottom line, Ying Zheng would let them compete and develop.
This was the Emperor's way of balancing.
"Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty!"
Meng Tian and Zhang Han, who were still kneeling, said in unison.
"It's good that you understand. Then Meng Tian, what do you need to report to me personally?”
"Your Majesty!"
Meng Tian hurriedly cupped her fists and said,"
"The northern Werewolves have repeatedly invaded Great Qin's borders, killing Great Qin's residents and stealing Great Qin's wealth and women. The Great Wall is also incredibly difficult to build, and the Wolf King has gathered 200,000 or so Werewolves to attack the Great Wall. The northern borders are in a state of emergency, and Great Qin's residents are in panic.!”
"Northern wolf clan?"
Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high seat, thought for a while before abruptly standing up and saying,"
"Those who dare to invade our Great Qin will be exterminated!!”
