Outside the king's tent.
The First Emperor began to appease the old officials in Guanzhong. The old officials were very emotional and kept shouting for the First Emperor to be restored.
And that the Great Qin Empire could not do without the First Emperor.
However, after last night, the number of people criticizing Ying Zilie had decreased significantly.
It could not be said that there were none, but only a few.
The reason was simple.
Baiqi was on his way to Pu Ban City to quell the rebellion, and whoever stayed behind and talked bad about the young emperor would be too rude.
In addition, Ying Zilie had entered the palace with the country's madam last night, and there was no movement in the Mount Li camp or the Xianyang Palace.
The old official in Guanzhong was not stupid. He definitely knew what this signal meant.
Therefore, what they said today was basically to persuade the First Emperor to stay. They were sincere and sincere, and the friendship between monarch and minister could be said to be tearful.
In the king's tent.
"Tsk tsk tsk…"
The Thousand-faced Fox felt a little mushy.
"Thousand-faced Fox, what kind of reaction is this?" Ying Zilie laughed.”
Before he finished speaking.
"Young Empress, if such a day comes, I'll definitely cry louder than those old ministers outside…Ah pui!" The Thousand-faced Fox subconsciously said seriously. Young Empress definitely won't have such a day. This servant has made a slip of the tongue, Young Empress, please punish me!”
The Thousand-faced Fox only reacted halfway.
"Indeed."
Ying Zilie deliberately dug out a spoonful of wasabi and said,"Come, I'll punish you with a bite!"
"This…I don't think so. Young Empress, this servant knows her mistake. Please spare this servant.”
The Thousand-faced Fox quickly acted coquettishly.
She was most afraid of eating wasabi. If she took a bite, she would probably lose her soul and her eyes would roll out.
Ying Zilie knew when to stop. He was just scaring the thousand-faced fox for fun. He didn't think that he would really punish her.
"What do you think of the friendship between those old ministers and Imperial Father?”
"This servant feels that it's half true and half false. They seem to have specially come here to go through the motions.”
The Thousand-faced Fox replied softly.
Ying Zilie nodded and said," It's indeed half-true and half-false. However, this result was obtained under my control several times. Otherwise, it wouldn't be half-true and half-false."”
"You will personally witness those old officials in Guanzhong performing neck slashes and slamming into pillars in front of me.”
"Any more exaggerations and it would be the ministers forcing the abdication.”
……
Ying Zilie was referring to hundreds of old ministers kneeling together to remonstrate and beg the First Emperor to return to his throne.
They might not have brought their armor to force the abdication, but the group's death remonstrance itself had the effect of forcing the abdication.
The Thousand-faced Fox blinked. Were they crazy? Why are you fighting so hard?"
"How can I explain this to you?”
" What if you were an ordinary young lady waiting to be married," Ying Zilie said after thinking for a while." What would you do if a lecher sneaked into your room in the middle of the night?"”
"Resist! Call for help!"
"Then if you call all your neighbors over, but your clothes are torn by a lecher, causing your body to be seen by the neighbors, what will you do?”
"This…it depends on the era. If it was after the Song Dynasty, then I could only jump into a well.”
The Thousand-faced Fox was in the Ming Dynasty.
In the Warring States Period, women's awareness of chastity was not that strong.
For example, the most famous Empress Chang in history had appeared once in the State of Zhao, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
It was hard to imagine that the empress of a country was once a prostitute.
"Chastity is a form of dignity for most women. If that dignity is gone, she will only die.”
After saying that, Ying Zilie pointed at the group of old ministers outside and said,"Those old officials outside have the dignity of being officials. If they don't even let out a fart when the Emperor abdicates, then the criticism from the court is enough to make them die of shame.”
A woman's dignity was called chastity!
The dignity of a subject was called loyalty!
If you lose it, you will die!
As for the dignity of a king…
As long as the ruler could play his political tricks well, it was fine to lose some dignity sometimes.
However, most smart kings would choose treacherous officials to take the blame for themselves.
It was to add a layer of protection to his dignity.
For example, Yan Song, the treacherous official of the Ming Dynasty, had lived his entire life to protect the dignity of the Jiajing Emperor.
Thinking of this…
Ying Zilie's fingertips tapped the table a few times. He also had to consider finding an official who could block the open and dark arrows for him.
"Let's choose Poison Warrior Jia Xu, or Zhong Hu Sima Yi!”
Ying Zilie started to select.
The Thousand-faced Fox blinked when she heard this. She could not keep up with the Young Empress 'thoughts, so she was kneeling at the side with a puzzled expression.
Ying Zilie was in a good mood, so he praised,"Thousand-faced Fox, you look much better when you're confused than when you're fawning.”
The Thousand-faced Fox was speechless.
The Thousand-faced Fox was dumbfounded. Was the Young Empress complimenting her or…
"I'm praising you. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank me."
"Thank you for your praise, Young Empress."
"Mm, it's pretty good…Come, open your mouth. I'll reward you with half a mouthful of mustard.”
“……”
In the end, the Thousand-faced Fox was unable to escape this calamity.
After a while.
After the First Emperor had appeased the old officials in Guanzhong, he finally walked in from outside the king's tent.
Naturally.
The Thousand-faced Fox, who had been crying after eating half a mouthful of wasabi, was immediately noticed by the First Emperor.
"What is she doing? Are you crying because of my abdication?"
"That's right. I'm crying so sadly. I really can't compare to father's prestige.”
Ying Zilie smiled and waved his hand, signaling for the Thousand-faced Fox to leave.
The Thousand-faced Fox felt as if he had been pardoned and hurriedly left.
The First Emperor's anger had completely dissipated.
He even felt that his waist no longer hurt, and his legs no longer ached. He reckoned that it wouldn't be a problem for him to walk all the way from Mount Li's camp to Xianyang Palace in one breath.
"Zilie, how was your talk with Mi Hua last night? Did you scare Mi Hua? She is your elder. If she doesn't enter the Snow Palace, you will have to call her mother when you see her.”
After the First Emperor abdicated, he seemed to value kinship more and more.
Humans were all like this. The greater the power, the less emotional they were.
Once they had no power in their hands, they would move closer to emotions.
" Madam Mi, you know the big picture," Ying Zilie said with a smile." So, I've basically stabilized the situation at the Great Wall."”
"Then there are Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo who are leading troops to attack the Bai Yue.”
"I hope that Father will write an edict after dinner and let them return to Xianyang to report on their work at the end of the year. They might even be able to make it in time for my coronation!”
……
Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo led a total of five to six hundred thousand soldiers. Even though they had lost half of their forces in the battle against the Bai Yue, they still had about three hundred thousand soldiers, which was about the same as the Great Wall Army.
According to history, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo chose to stand on their own after attacking the Yue.
However, Ying Zilie had too many things to take care of, so he didn't make any arrangements for Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo.
It would depend on whether Qin Shi Huang could summon Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo back with an imperial edict.
If Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo returned to Xianyang to report, Ying Zilie would immediately send his trusted general to take over the 300,000 troops of the Bai Yue.
If the imperial edict doesn't come back!
Ying Zilie still had a backup plan.
The end of the year was approaching, and he could sign in for the sixth year on New Year's Day.
If the system could give him a weapon drop reward.
The new Emperor of Great Qin would make sure that Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo…would regret betraying Qin and becoming independent!!
