Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han with admiration, and asked his own question,"
"Shaorong, aren't you a first lieutenant? Why did he personally come to guard the east gate?”
Zhang Han said awkwardly,
"Your Majesty, I'm no longer a lieutenant. I'm just a commandant guarding the east gate of Xianyang City.”
Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he snorted,"
"Hmph, it seems that if I don't return to Xianyang soon, Xianyang City will be in a mess because of Li Si and Zhao Gao.”
"Shaorong, don't worry. If I say you're a first lieutenant, then you're a first lieutenant.”
After saying that, Ying Zheng patted Zhang Han's shoulder heavily.
Immediately after.
Ying Zheng glanced at the soldiers around him again.
Zhang Han immediately understood and said,
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The soldiers here are all my confidants. They won't leak the news of you entering Xianyang City.”
Ying Zheng nodded and said,"
"Shaorong, don't be nervous. I just want to give my Left Minister and the Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate a surprise.”
"Hehe, I wonder if they will be surprised or happy when they see me.”
......
Great Qin did not have morning court meetings.
However…
Ever since Zhao Gao and Li Si had taken over the government a month ago, the two of them had been in power.
He forced all the officials to attend the morning assembly.
After all...
Without morning court, how could they enjoy the pleasure of power?
Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.
The young Huhai sat on the dragon throne.
It looked a little out of place.
Zhao Gao stood in front of Huhai and said to the officials below arrogantly,"
"Recently, a group of Kunlun slaves from the Western Regions entered Xianyang City. They offered me a strange creature.”
"As for me, I just want everyone to help me appraise it.”
"Someone, bring that creature up.”
In the next moment.
A few attendants led a sika deer that was five feet tall into the Qilin Palace.
Because the Qin country had a tradition of raising deer.
Therefore, all the officials present knew this creature, and they were the kind that knew it.
After all, there were many sika deer in Deer Villa, which was not far from Xianyang Palace.
Moreover, with the spots on its body and the horns on its head, it was not a big deal.
It told everyone what it was.
However…
Zhao Gao didn't really mean to let these people evaluate it.
Otherwise, why would he make up a lie about the Kunlun slaves offering tribute to the deer?
He slowly walked to the sika deer, raised his head and said to Huhai,"
"Your Majesty, what kind of animal do you think this is?”
Huhai was still young and did not know how to beat around the bush."
"Father, you must be joking. Isn't this just a deer?”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao shook his head and retorted,
"Your Majesty, this is not a deer, but a horse. If you don't believe me, you can ask the ministers below whether this is a deer or a horse.”
This was because Li Si and Zhao Gao were the ones who planned this.
Thus, Li Si took the lead and stepped forward."
"Your Majesty, this is clearly the specialty of the Western Regions. Plum Blossom Horses, don't you think so?”
Li Si and Zhao Gao looked at the ministers around them fiercely.
The two of them had already planned it out.
Calling a deer a horse this time was a test of the court officials.
If anyone dared to defy them, they would say that it was a deer.
Then, after the court session ended.
They would kill these officials.
After all, if they wanted to control the power of the imperial court, they would not allow any voices to rebel against them.
For a moment, the entire court fell into a strange silence.
In the next moment.
"Zhen said, this is a deer!"
Who dares to contradict us!
Li Si and Zhao Gao looked in the direction of the voice.
Suddenly.
The door of the Qilin Palace opened with a bang.
The morning sun shone on the entire Qilin Palace, driving away all the darkness.
A dignified and domineering figure slowly stepped into the Qilin Palace.
Boom!
Li Si and Zhao Gao's pupils instantly constricted as they froze on the spot.
Their hearts were instantly filled with shock.
"Your Majesty?"
Ying Zheng looked at the two of them with a cold smile and said,"
"Yo, isn't this my Left Minister and Zhongche Prefecture Order? Why did he start discussing whether it was a deer or a horse today?”
Zhao Gao's face instantly turned pale as he stammered,"
"Your Majesty…Your Majesty, I... I..."
Ying Zheng interrupted Zhao Gao's words, walked up to him, and glared at Zhao Gao,"
"Then, I want to ask the Zhongche Prefecture Token. Do you think this is a horse or a deer?”
Zhao Gao was so frightened that he fell to the ground and said shakily,
"This... is... Deer."
Ying Zheng looked down at Zhao Gao from above, his imposing manner suffocating Zhao Gao.
"I'll give you another chance. Zhao Manor Order, is this a deer or a horse?”
"Ah…"
Zhao Gao's eyes widened and he fell to the ground.
Wang Ben walked over from behind Ying Zheng.
She felt Zhao Gao's pulse and breath.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao was scared to death."
Ying Zheng snorted coldly,"
"Hmph, don't worry, he won't die.”
After saying that.
Ying Zheng took out a thousand-year-old Lingzhi from his storage bag.
Then, he cut off a small portion and fed it to Zhao Gao.
The thousand-year-old lingzhi melted in his mouth.
Moreover, as long as one consumed the thousand-year-old Lingzhi within three minutes of death, they would be revived.
Ying Zheng looked coldly at the unconscious Zhao Gao and said,"
"You want to die just like that? That would be too easy on you."
"Men, take Zhao Gao away.”
"At 3:45 pm, execute the punishment of dismemberment, annihilate the three clans, and hang their corpses on the gates of Xianyang City for seven days as a warning to others.”
After saying that.
Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Li Si.
His eyes revealed a bone-chilling coldness.
"Left Minister, since Zhao Gao didn't tell me the answer, then you should tell me the answer.”
"Is it a deer or a horse?”
