Xianyang City, Imperial Palace.
In the royal study.
"Your Majesty, you should eat!"
"Young Master Changqing specifically instructed us to ensure that your three meals a day are normal. Otherwise, we will be held accountable!”
Gao Yi, who was in charge of Ying Zheng's clothes and daily life, came in with a plate of lamb soup and reminded him in a low voice.
"This child is really something!"
"It's been hard on you guys!"
"Prepare lunch for all the beloved ministers!”
"Oh right, where's Changqing? I haven't seen him for a few days.”
A gratified smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face as he asked casually.
As a father, he was always particularly concerned and easily satisfied with his child's filial piety.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Changqing left Xianyang a few days ago. He said that he was going to Kuaiji and other places to capture the remnants of the six countries found in the Confucian scholar case!”
Meng Yi cupped his hands and replied.
"Why didn't you stop him?"
"How many people did he bring with him?”
Ying Zheng frowned and said.
"There are only guards from the Young Master's Residence, less than a hundred people in total!”
"Moreover, I and the others have only just learned of this matter. It's already too late to chase after them.”
Zhang Han braced himself.
"Nonsense!"
"Qu Qu has dozens of people and he dares to kill his way to Kuaiji. Does he really think that there is no one else in the world?”
Ying Zheng's frown deepened.
As the First Emperor of Great Qin, Ying Zheng was very familiar with the situation of the counties under his command.
The original Old Qin region was still fine, but the new regions weren't particularly stable.
This was especially true for the Old Chu region, which was the largest of the six countries and had the fiercest resistance. The hatred they had for Great Qin had not been completely wiped out, and most of the gentry and nobles were not willing to submit to Xianyang City.
The reason why Great Qin's plan to conquer the Yue State had been repeatedly proposed and failed to pass was because of the lack of treasury and the instability of the Xiongnu in the northern borders. The biggest reason was the instability of the land of Wu and Chu.
When a large army went out, the rear was unstable. It was definitely a taboo for military strategists.
For this reason, the First Emperor had already made up his mind to set off from Xianyang City to the east after spring.
He had never thought that this son he valued the most would be so reckless as to oppose the Chu clan.
The courtiers were also dumbfounded.
This Young Master Changqing was really something.
Did he really think that the entire world was Xianyang City, right under the eyes of the First Emperor?
These rebels of Chu had not achieved much in the many conquests of the imperial court. What effect could he have with just a few dozen people?
If they failed to exterminate the rebels and were captured instead, it would really be a big joke and embarrass the entire imperial court.
"Pass down my order. Have the local counties keep an eye on him. We must find Young Master Changqing and bring him back to Xianyang City!”
Ying Zheng slapped the table heavily and said.
This son of a b * stard really did not let people worry.
She had just been at ease for a few days and wanted to praise him, but she had caused such a huge mess for herself.
Don't you know how to think before you act?
How can I entrust the Great Qin Empire to him with such an anxious look?
The officials were even more speechless.
As expected, His Majesty still favored this Young Master Changqing.
If it was any other young master who had committed so many 'atrocies', and still did not repent, he would have been arrested and punished by Ying Zheng long ago.
However, when it came to Young Master Changqing, no matter how angry the First Emperor was, he didn't say a word about punishment.
If not for Ying Changqing's terrible reputation, many courtiers would have started to doubt whether Ying Zheng would choose Ying Changqing as the Crown Prince of Great Qin.
As for now, it was probably just doting on his youngest son.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Young Master Changqing is extremely brave and intelligent. He is also a genius of the current era.”
Only Meng Yi could see through Ying Zheng's true thoughts, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.
"When Changqing returns this time, zhen must teach him a lesson. Otherwise, if he continues to cause trouble, it will really be out of control!”
Ying Zheng said angrily.
At this moment, a lieutenant of the Imperial Guards suddenly rushed into the royal study.
"What is it? Is there any news about Changqing?”
Ying Zheng said anxiously.
"Your Majesty!"
"Young Master Changqing, Young Master Changqing, he…"
Perhaps it was the first time he was making a report in front of the First Emperor and so many courtiers, but he was so excited that he stuttered.
"What happened to him? Is he alright?"
Ying Zheng, who loved his son dearly, hurriedly asked.
Not only was Ying Changqing the only son he had felt a sense of kinship with, but he was also the successor that he had finally decided upon. If anything happened, Great Qin would fall into an awkward situation where no one could take over.
That was definitely the last thing Ying Zheng wanted to see.
If it was possible, Ying Zheng would rather live a few years less than to let Ying Changqing grow up as soon as possible.
"No, it's not."
"It's not Young Master who is in trouble, but the powerful people of Kuaiji Prefecture.”
"Young Master Changqing only used three days to arrive in Kuaiji and took down the former Young Masters Wei Bao and Wei Jiu. In one fell swoop, he destroyed their plot to rebel and seized more than ten million yuan and more than a million stones of grain from their residences and the homes of their henchmen!”
The imperial guards captain hurriedly reported.
"This?"
Ying Zheng could not help but be stunned for a moment, while the rest of the courtiers looked at each other in disbelief.
Xianyang City was more than a thousand miles away from Kuaiji Prefecture. Even the fastest 800-mile journey would take nearly a week to arrive. However, Young Master Changqing only took three days. Did he fly there?
And the shocking assets and food that were confiscated shocked them even more.
Ten million gold coins and more than a million dan of food. If the time was right, it was enough to raise an army of more than a hundred thousand.
Even if the rebels did not raise their own flags to rebel, if so much money and food flowed into the Yue Country, Great Qin's future conquering army would suffer an unimaginable loss!
However, this massive amount of money and grain now belonged to the Imperial Court, and it would become Great Qin's aid in conquering the Yue in the future.
Young Master Changqing had done a great service for Great Qin!
Wait a minute, the report just now seemed to be that Young Master Changqing had captured many people.
With His Highness 'methods in Xianyang City, Kuaiji Prefecture would probably be filled with a bloody storm again.
It was hard to say whether this matter was good or bad.
"Is there anything else in the report?”
"Has there been any news from the local governor and garrison?”
Right Prime Minister Li Si was the first to react and frowned.
The other officials also turned their gazes over.
Even Ying Zheng was no exception.
However, the Imperial Guards Lieutenant's reply was once again beyond everyone's expectations.
