Thinking of this, the First Emperor said loudly,""Let them in!"
Not long after, Ying Zhan and the others arrived at the hall. They bowed and shouted in unison,"Your son Ying Zhan greets Imperial Father!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!”
"Rise!"
The First Emperor glanced at them and continued,""You entered the palace like this to plead for mercy for the Sage Selection Hall, right?”
Ying Zhan took a step forward and replied,"No, your son is here to report a major matter to Imperial Father."”
"Something big? What was it? Tell me!"
"Reporting to Imperial Father, Zhao Gao, the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, was a member of the Zhao Imperial Clan. He was a spy in Great Qin and was killed on the spot by your son!”Ying Zhan said calmly.
However, these words made the First Emperor's expression change. He said in surprise,""What is it? Zhao Gao was a spy? And you killed him on the spot?"
"Yes, Zhao Gao personally admitted that he was a spy and a member of the imperial clan. Your son found a letter from him in the Zhao residence that he had secretly contacted the old nobles of Zhao!”
As Ying Zhan spoke, he gestured for a eunuch to place the bamboo scroll on the imperial press and said,"This is the letter that your son found, please take a look, Imperial Father.”
"How could Zhao Gao be a spy?"
As the First Emperor spoke, he picked up the bamboo book and began to read.
When he held the bamboo book close to the light and saw the words on it, his eyes widened.
He was too familiar with Zhao Gao's handwriting, so he recognized it at a glance.
However, when he read the content, a wave of vigorous anger rose in an instant.
Because in this bamboo book, Zhao Gao had described the First Emperor in an extremely insulting way, saying that the First Emperor was his plaything.
The First Emperor suppressed his anger and threw the bamboo book away. He then grabbed another bamboo book.
After reading through several bamboo scrolls, the First Emperor no longer doubted Ying Zhan's words. Zhao Gao was indeed a spy from the Death Zhao.
"This damned Zhao Gao actually dared to betray me!”
The First Emperor shouted and slapped the bamboo book into pieces.
The humiliation of being betrayed instantly lingered in his heart. At the same time, endless anger burned in his heart.
"This is too despicable. Zhao Gao actually wants to destroy my Great Qin and rebel against me!”
The First Emperor gritted his teeth and said,"Investigate thoroughly. Dig out all of Zhao Gao's henchmen and exterminate them!"”
"Imperial Father, please calm down. Zhao Gao has been at the center of Great Qin for many years, and his followers are spread all over Great Qin.”
"Your son suggests that we first announce Zhao Gao's crimes to the world. Zhao Gao's henchmen will definitely be like birds startled by the twang of a bow. At that time, those hidden henchmen will naturally jump out.”
"Your son firmly believes that as long as they learn of Zhao Gao's death, these people will definitely take the risk. Because Zhao Gao's death will definitely disrupt their plans!”
After Ying Zhan finished speaking, the First Emperor was completely dumbfounded!
He knew that Third Brother was intelligent, but he didn't expect Third Brother Ying Zhan to think so far and analyze everything so thoroughly.
Meng Yi and Feng Jie were even more dumbfounded. It turned out that the Third Young Master had already thought of this step when he was in the Sage Selection Hall.
The Third Young Master was so intelligent at such a young age. It was really a blessing for Great Qin!
"Haha…"
The First Emperor looked at Ying Zhan and suddenly laughed loudly."With a son like this, I am very pleased. It seems that Great Qin has a successor.”
Meng Yi and Feng Jie's eyes lit up!
Could it be that His Majesty…wanted to make Third Young Master the Crown Prince?
However, among the many young masters, only the Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Master were suitable to inherit the throne.
Although the Eldest Young Master was intelligent, he was too gentle and could not become a hero!
The Third Young Master was not only intelligent, but he also had the same heroic bearing as the First Emperor. He was decisive and decisive!
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. They said in unison,"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"This is all thanks to the good teachings of the two beloved ministers. If it wasn't for the fact that Gongzi Zhan followed you back then, zhen believes that he wouldn't have improved so quickly!”
The First Emperor gently twisted his body and said,""Minister Meng will take the position of the chief justice temporarily. Tonight, you must sort out Zhao Gao's case and announce Zhao Gao's crimes to the world at the court meeting tomorrow.”
"I, Meng Yi, receive the decree!"
"Zhan 'er, go back and prepare tonight. You have to go to court tomorrow.”
The First Emperor stared at Ying Zhan. His tone was not like that of a monarch and his subjects, but like that of a father and son.
Actually, he had always loved Ying Zhan since he was young. However, this was only limited to the joy of family and the love between father and son. It has nothing to do with national affairs.
However, when Third Brother Ying Zhan spoke about the political situation, he knew that Third Brother had already grown up and had the ability to take charge of national affairs.
In the future, when father and son meet in the imperial court, there will only be monarch and minister. Therefore, the First Emperor finally showed a trace of fatherly warmth.
"Your son understands. Tonight, I will definitely understand the etiquette of the court.”Ying Zhan replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
The First Emperor nodded in satisfaction." Yes, alright. I'm a little tired. All of you may leave!"”
