That night, in Xianyang City.
The Prime Minister's residence was still brightly lit. From time to time, reports from officials and even urgent reports from the border would arrive at night.
However, in the exquisite pavilion, Lu Buwei was looking at the mountain of memorials in front of him, but he was not in the mood to deal with government affairs. The scene that had happened during the sacrificial ceremony during the day kept replaying in his mind.
"Zheng 'er, he, how could he be like this?”
"This old minister has experienced three kings and worked so hard to assist Great Qin. I've given up almost everything for Great Qin, so how can Your Majesty not see this old minister's painstaking efforts?”
Lu Buwei sat in front of the table, frowning. The sense of danger and worry in his heart grew stronger.
"No!"
"Zheng 'er is only eight years old now. There are many government affairs in the court that only this old man can handle! It seemed that he had to think of a way to divert Zheng 'er's attention and stop being so rebellious!”
"Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, won't we, father and son, be at odds with each other…"
In the pavilion, Lu Buwei thought for a long time and murmured.
At the same time, in Xianyang Palace, which was only a few miles away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ying Zheng was not feeling calm either.
Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng's bedchamber.
Looking at the flickering candlelight in front of him, the scene of meeting the Father at the peak of the snowy mountain kept replaying in his mind.
It was a legend since ancient times, but in the past hundreds of years, he was probably the only one who was so close to becoming an immortal!
Now that the heavens were with Great Qin, it was destined that Great Qin would unify the world!
With Great Qin's current strength, it was only a matter of time before it could conquer the six dynasties. But, since his Father had ordered him to unify the world and build a Great Qin Empire that would last for thousands of years, Ying Zheng would naturally do his best to complete the task assigned by his Father as soon as possible!
However, if he wanted to unify the world, the problem before him was…to govern the country personally!
When the former king passed away, he left behind his last words that the Prime Minister, Lu Buwei, and Ying Xi, the elder of Si Che, would assist him in governing the country until he came of age. Now, the former king's last words and righteousness were all in Lu Buwei's hands. If Ying Zheng wanted to seize power in advance, it would be extremely difficult!
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he could not think of any clues. So, he simply got up from the king's couch and left the bedchamber, preparing to take a walk outside the palace.
However, just as Ying Zheng stepped out of the door of his palace…
"Your Majesty, you…"
Immediately, the Yellow Gate Order, who was waiting at the door of the bedroom, hurried forward.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm just out for a walk!”
Ying Zheng waved his hand casually, intending to leave.
However, the Yellow Gate Order stood in front of Ying Zheng and did not take even half a step back.
"Hmm?"
Ying Zheng furrowed his brows, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
He was the king, and this little eunuch actually dared to block his way. Could it be that he did not know the sin of blocking the king?
"Your Majesty, it's already the third watch of the night.”
"The prime minister has instructed me to take good care of the king's diet and daily life. The king must take care of his body. The two previous kings of Great Qin died because their bodies were weak. If anything happens to the king's body, I will die for it!”
The Yellow Gate Order knelt on the ground and spoke with a respectful expression. However, despite his respectful expression, his body, which was blocking Ying Zheng's way, did not move back at all!
"Prime Minister?"
"Humph! Do I not even have the right to go out for a walk now?”
Anger could not help but emerge in Ying Zheng's heart. This Lu Buwei had stretched his hand too far. All the officials in the court were his men, and the army was filled with his students and old officials. Now, even the Yellow Gate Order was using his orders to restrict his freedom!
Ying Zheng was very unhappy that he was being held back in every aspect!
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"If Your Majesty really wants to come out for a walk, please allow me to report to the Prime Minister. Only with the Prime Minister's permission can Your Majesty…"
The Yellow Gate Order quickly bowed and apologized, his tone filled with respect. However, it was obvious that he did not take Ying Zheng seriously.
"Bastard!"
"I'm not going out!"
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeve, turned around, and returned to his chamber.
However, the moment he turned around, Ying Zheng's cold gaze swept across the Yellow Gate Order, as if he was looking at a dead man!
Ying Zheng was a born king, and he was very sensitive to power. But, this little Yellow Gate Order dared to stop the king. In Ying Zheng's heart, even if an immortal came, he would not be able to save him!
This person must die!
After Ying Zheng returned to his palace, the anger in his chest did not dissipate for a long time.
However, the situation was stronger than the person. Now that all the power in the court was in Lu Buwei's hands, Ying Zheng had no other choice.
However, a thought quickly flashed through his mind.
"Now that I'm in a difficult situation, I can't display my ambition to unify the world!”
"In that case, why don't I ask god father to help me!”
Immediately, Ying Zheng burned incense in his bedroom to pray to the heavens.
"Ying Zheng, the Lord of Great Qin, wishes to see God Father, I hope God Father will have mercy on me!”
" Ying Zheng, the Lord of Great Qin, wishes to see God Father. I hope God Father will have mercy on me…"
