An hour later.
Ying Zheng was kneeling behind the table, reading memorials.
Meng Yi walked into the hall and bowed.
"Your Majesty, all the young masters are waiting outside the hall for an audience."”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng waved his hand without even raising his head and said,"
"Let them all in."
Meng Yi bowed and cupped his hands in acknowledgment before leaving the hall.
After a while.
A dozen or so Great Qin's young masters dressed in luxurious clothes carefully walked into the hall.
They knelt on the ground and bowed to their father.
"Your son greets Imperial Father."
...
However, their father did not respond.
He was still reading the memorials on the palace steps.
Huhai and the others looked at each other.
He could only kneel on the ground obediently and wait quietly.
Not long after.
Ying Zheng finished reading the memorial in his hand.
Only then did he slowly raise his head.
The dragon eyes looked down at the dozen sons kneeling on the ground.
It swept past them one by one.
That gaze was meaningful.
Huhai and the others couldn't help but tremble.
Looking at these sons, Ying Zheng wanted to find out something from their expressions and actions.
Unfortunately, he still ended up empty-handed.
Who was the one who made him give up on the heir, Fu Su?
After becoming Great Qin's second Emperor, Great Qin II died.
Ying Zheng really couldn't tell right now.
If Jiang Chen had seen this scene, he would have died.
Most of them would shake their heads and laugh bitterly.
It would be strange if he could tell.
In history, the second Qin Emperor was not chosen by Ying Zheng.
According to the records.
During the fifth tour, Ying Zheng fell seriously ill in the Sand Dune Palace.
Before his death, he wrote down a posthumous edict for the eldest son, Fusu, who was supervising the army in Shangjun, to succeed the throne.
However, Zhao Gao, the governor of Zhongche Mansion, colluded with Li Si, the left prime minister.
And the eighteenth son, Huhai, who had accompanied Ying Zheng at that time.
He tampered with the posthumous edict and made Huhai the second Emperor of Great Qin.
Therefore, no matter how Ying Zheng looked at it.
It was impossible to tell that Great Qin's next Emperor would be his 18th son, Huhai.
Because in Ying Zheng's heart.
He had never thought that Huhai would inherit the Great Qin Empire.
Ying Zheng, who had gained nothing, sighed in his heart.
"Get up," he waved his hand.
Hearing this, Huhai and the others first thanked their father.
Then, she stood up and stood there obediently.
He did not even dare to breathe loudly.
He did not dare to look up.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
Although Fu Su had been taught by those damned Confucian scholars to be too pedantic, he was still a little bit stubborn.
They only knew about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but they did not understand the reality at all.
However, there was one good thing about Fu Su.
That meant that he had the guts to argue with his father.
He was so hot-tempered that Ying Zheng had said that he would throw him into the imperial prison.
Fu Su's neck stiffened as he directly said," Father, you don't have to do anything."
I'll go to the imperial prison myself.
Then, Fu Su went to be Jiang Chen's roommate.
Although Ying Zheng was angry about it.
But from another perspective.
Ying Zheng and Fu Su had some communication.
It was one thing to often be bewitched by those pedantic scholars to remonstrate and contradict him.
However, once his father spoke…
Fu Su would definitely comply.
For example, the matter of going to the imperial prison.
Therefore, Fu Su respected his father, but he was not afraid to communicate with him.
Then, he looked at his sons.
Each and every one of them was as fearful as quails.
It was as if his father was some kind of evil dragon that ate people.
With their looks.
No matter how Ying Zheng thought about it, he could not understand.
Why did he give up on Fu Su and choose one of them?
No matter how pedantic and naive Fu Su was, he was still a child.
At the very least, others had the courage to stand up.
Moreover, he was his eldest son.
What did these people have?
In terms of status, he could not compare to Fu Su, but in terms of ability, he was just so-so.
When he saw himself, he was even more afraid.
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more confused he became.
Could it be that what Jiang Chen had said in the Heaven Prison was true?
Was it all fake?
However, Ying Zheng felt that the three most important reasons Jiang Chen had mentioned for the death of the second emperor of Great Qin were very logical.
This suited Great Qin's current situation.
First, Great Qin had made a system reform that had not been seen in a thousand years, creating a change that had not been seen in a thousand years.
This sudden change was bound to shake the hearts of the people in the world.
Moreover, Great Qin had conquered the six countries and unified the world.
He also replaced the enfeoffment system with the prefecture system.
To put it more accurately, Jiang Chen said,"
It was to replace the feudal system with a central system.
As a result, the nobles of the Six Nations suffered a huge loss.
Naturally, he would not be satisfied and would definitely secretly think of taking back the benefits that belonged to him.
Secondly, Great Qin had used the Duke of Shang's reform to swallow an elephant.
However, that was then and that was now.
Great Qin had already destroyed the six countries and unified the world.
The old system could no longer keep up with the times.
This was similar to how Great Qin had been able to sweep through the six countries and unify the world.
The system needed to change with the times.
This was the reason why the Six Nations were conservative and refused to make any changes, resulting in their eventual destruction.
The original system was no longer suitable for Great Qin.
Thirdly, the successor's influence on Great Qin.
History had proven it time and time again.
A qualified heir would have a huge influence on the family and the country.
A good heir could make the family prosper.
This caused the country's strength to rapidly grow.
And an unqualified heir
It would also cause a huge empire to die quickly.
Ying Zheng agreed with Jiang Chen's three points.
Add them together.
He said that Great Qin would die after his death.
Although it was a bit fantastical, Ying Zheng felt that it was not impossible.
Therefore, Jiang Chen's words were not worth mentioning.
In his heart, Ying Zheng was seventy percent sure, and thirty percent doubtful.
But the problem was, was it that bastard down there who caused the death of the second emperor of Great Qin?
Great Qin's First Emperor felt incredibly frustrated.
He let out a cold snort in displeasure.
Huhai and the others heard their father's cold snort.
He could feel the terrifying aura of an emperor permeating the entire hall.
Their bodies trembled.
They raised their heads in confusion and looked carefully at their father.
He thought to himself, What's going on?
Who made Imperial Father angry?
Suddenly, at this moment.
Meng Yi, who had left the hall earlier, walked into the hall again.
He bowed and cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng, who was standing above with a gloomy face.
But he did not speak.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
He knew that Meng Yi had something to report to him.
This matter was not suitable for others to know.
Meng Yi was a smart person.
Ying Zheng believed that he would not make a wrong judgment.
He waved at Huhai and his sons.
"Alright, go back."”
Huhai was speechless.
The young masters were speechless.
He asked them to enter the palace.
Just to say a few words.
He said,"Get up."
He said,"Alright, let's go back."
What was going on?
Is Father out of his mind?
However, even though they were cursing in their hearts, Huhai and the others still obediently followed their father's instructions.
He left the hall with a head full of doubts.
After they left.
Meng Yi finally spoke,
"Your Majesty, I've found out who Young Master Huhai has been meeting and talking to recently.”
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice,"Speak.”
"It's the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, Zhao Gao." Meng Yi cupped his hands and said.
