Xianyang City, Imperial Palace.
Ying Zheng was reading memorials in the royal study when he saw the commander of the Imperial Guards, Zhang Han, rushing in hurriedly again.
"What is it?"
Ying Zheng glared at Zhang Han and said. A sense of familiarity emerged in his mind.
The officials looked at each other.
The last time Zhang Han looked like this was because Ying Changqing slaughtered Zhao Gao's mansion. It had only been half a month since then, but everyone still had a deep impression of him.
This time, it was like this again. Could it be that Young Master Changqing, the little tyrant of Xianyang City, had caused some trouble again?
And reality soon proved the importance of everyone's guesses.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Changqing has robbed Immortal Master Xu Fu's carriage. He is now dragging Immortal Master Xu Fu, Lu Sheng, and the others along the streets of Xianyang City.”
Zhang Han calmed down his breathing and said.
Ying Zheng's face twitched.
Even though Xu Fu was not as important as Zhao Gao in Great Qin, he was far more famous than Zhao Gao.
After all, the common people were superstitious these days. They were much more enthusiastic about the rumors of alchemists and immortals than the officials of the imperial court.
Now, Ying Changqing had robbed Xu Fu's convoy in public, and even dragged Xu Fu through the streets of Xianyang City. The commotion he had caused was definitely more than the massacre of Zhao Gao's mansion.
Moreover, Xu Fu was an Immortal Master personally conferred by Ying Zheng, so Ying Changqing's action was undoubtedly a slap to the face of the First Emperor.
If not for the fact that he owed his son so much, Ying Zheng would have ordered someone else to be beheaded.
The officials also had different expressions.
As expected, there was nothing in this world that a brutal young master like Ying Changqing wouldn't dare to see.
Although Zhao Gao was in the wrong, he was still one of the nine ministers. Ying Changqing had killed him and even exterminated his entire family.
Xu Fu was publicly acknowledged as a Celestial Master by the entire Great Qin Empire, and he was the representative of Celestials in the mortal world. Ying Changqing had taken him down without a word and even publicly humiliated him!
How could such a person be born in Great Qin?
"Your Majesty, it's better to send someone to quickly summon Young Master Changqing for questioning!”
"Whether Xu Fu is in the wrong or not, he should be interrogated by the Supreme Court!”
"If Young Master Changqing continues to act recklessly, the world will probably blame his actions on the Imperial Court and His Majesty.”
The royal study was silent for a long time. After a while, the Right Prime Minister Li Si braced himself and spoke.
"Let's follow Li Qing's suggestion!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
She was also secretly sighing in her heart. Why couldn't this son save her some effort?
And this method, wasn't it a little too rough?
With this, who knew how many people in Great Qin would say that they had failed to raise their children and that both father and son were tyrants?
......
"Ding! Nesten cursed you for being cruel, System Points 999!”
"Ding…Feng Jie cursed you for being cruel, System Points 999!”
"Ding…Yao Jia cursed you for being cruel, System Points 999!”
"Ding…Li Si scolded you for being cruel, System Points 1999!”
"Ding! The First Emperor scolded you for being cruel and deceitful, System Points 3999!”
Ying Changqing, who was dragging Xu Fu and the others along with him, snapped out of his daze as the system notifications flooded the screen. A smile appeared on his face.
"As expected of the First Emperor. His actions are extraordinary. The points given have always been several times higher than others!”
"Also, the points given by the officials are much more than the points given by ordinary people.”
"Looks like I should go to the imperial court more often and earn some points.”
Ying Changqing was in a good mood after he found out about the method to quickly accumulate points. He immediately ordered the guards to disperse the curious Xianyang City people, and then brought Xu Fu and Lu, who were on the verge of death, straight to the palace.
......
"Your Majesty, Young Master Changqing and Xu Fu have been brought here.”
Zhang Han hurriedly entered the royal study and cupped his hands.
"Let Changqing in!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand in annoyance.
"Your Majesty, this Xu Fu is not Zhao Gao. He has a good reputation among the people. If he can't give an explanation, I'm afraid the world will criticize him.”
"Especially with Young Master Changqing's identity."
Imperial Censor Feng Quji hesitated for a moment, but still reminded him in a low voice.
"So be it!"
"This child was right about something. No matter what he does, it is impossible to satisfy everyone. This criticism is inevitable.”
"Moreover, although this child's methods are a little simple and direct, he has always done things with reason and evidence. It's impossible for him to take Xu Fu down for no reason.”
Ying Zheng went through Ying Changqing's recent actions in his mind, and found that regardless of whether it was killing Zhao Gao or reinstating the silkpants of Xianyang City, even though they would bring about some infamy, Great Qin would ultimately benefit from them. Immediately, he felt a little more approachable towards Ying Changqing.
Seeing that Ying Zheng had expressed his stance, the few ministers who were planning to impeach Ying Changqing to save some face after their sons were beaten up by Ying Changqing hurriedly retreated.
The dignity of the First Emperor was not to be provoked.
Soon, Ying Changqing entered the court again under the gazes of all the ministers.
"Tell me, what's the situation now?"
"Why can't you learn something good so that your Imperial Father won't have to worry!”
Looking at Ying Changqing's proud eyes, Ying Zheng felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he glared at him with a look of disappointment.
"Imperial Father, this son is doing this for you.”
"Xu Fu is not an immortal master at all, but a swindler.”
"Those things he concocts aren't Immortal Pills at all. They're poison through and through. Don't even talk about extending one's lifespan. Many of them can live for ten years.”
"If you don't believe me, Imperial Father can get someone to bring over the immortal pills that Xu Fu had previously offered as tribute. Then, find a few chickens, sheep, and other animals and feed them a box.”
" Father, it's fine if you don't praise me for my kindness," Ying Changqing replied angrily." But, you actually criticized me like this. I'm disappointed. I'm going home to sleep!"”
After saying that, Ying Changqing left, leaving behind a group of stunned courtiers and Ying Zheng, who had a complicated expression on his face.
After a long time, the First Emperor's roar came from the royal study.
"Zhang Han, go and get all the pills in the palace for me!”
"According to what Changqing said just now, find a few lambs to verify!”
"I want to see who is deceiving me!”
"Who gave them the guts?”
