At dawn, Ying Zheng got up early this morning.
As for Lady Yan, she seemed to be clinging onto him wholeheartedly. Just as Ying Zheng got up, she opened her eyes and climbed out of bed with great difficulty.
"Husband, let this concubine serve you.”
After saying that, Concubine Yan did not care whether Ying Zheng agreed or not, and directly stood up, picked up her clothes and served him.
"So handsome!"
"As expected of my husband!"
After putting on the black dragon robe for Ying Zheng, Lady Yan walked up to him and tidied his collar. Then, she gave him an infatuated look, stood on her tiptoes and kissed Ying Zheng's face.
"Hehe, you can still rest for a while. This time, your Yin-Yang School will also participate, but you don't have to do it yourself.”
"Alright, it's about time. This king has to go and see what they want to do.”
After saying that, Ying Zheng walked out.
"Pow!"
But before he could walk out of the room, Lady Yan hugged Ying Zheng from behind and said,""I implore Your Majesty to take care of your body. If you are ill, I will not live alone.”
"Good!"
Hearing that, Ying Zheng patted on Concubine Yan's hand, then broke free from her grip and walked out with big strides. His imposing figure made Concubine Yan feel at ease.
As long as he was in the State of Qin, everything would not be chaotic.
"Zhao Gao, Zhang Han, Mao Xiang, Ximen Chuixue!”
"Yes!"
Walking out of the Orchid Pool Palace, the gentleness on Ying Zheng's face had disappeared. Now, he was filled with coldness, and no one dared to look directly into his intimidating eyes.
"Send out a team of elites to guard the Orchid Pool Palace. No one is allowed to enter.”
"Ximen Chuixue, you stay here!"
"Your Majesty, no!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, the four of them were all shocked. They wanted their king to give up on this idea. The ones in front were still alright, they could still send people.
Only Ximen Chuixue, they did not want him to leave Ying Zheng's side. After all, he was at the peak of the grandmaster realm, and he was definitely the best bodyguard.
"King, safety first!"
"That's right, Your Majesty. Ximen Chuixue is invincible in the imperial court. His swordsmanship is unparalleled. If he is by your side, he will be a great guarantee for your safety.”
"There's no need to say more, this king knows what to do.”
Without saying anything more, Ying Zheng walked towards Zhangtai Palace after he finished speaking. This made Mao Xiang and the others anxious. They wanted to say something, but they hesitated several times. In the end, Ximen Chuixue was left behind.
Clutch King was irreversible!
However, what Ximen Chuixue did not expect was that just as he returned to the entrance of Lanchi Palace, he saw a palace maid walk out and give him a letter.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
Ximen Chuixue looked at the palace maid in front of him and knew that she was Lady Yan's personal maid, Meng Qiu, so he asked.
"This is what the Empress told this servant to give to Lord Ximen. She also said that Lord Ximen, you know what to do.”
"Good!"
Ximen Chuixue took the envelope and opened it. The king is the foundation of the country. I am just a duckweed. Lord Ximen, you can leave!
It turned out that the meticulous Concubine Yan knew that Ying Zheng would leave Ximen Chuixue behind to protect her, so she wrote this letter.
"Empress, righteousness!"
After saying that, Ximen Chuixue bowed to the Palace of Orchid Pool and left with his sword.
Inside, Concubine Yan was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked ready for battle.
Her temperament was very good.
.....
On the other side, when Ying Zheng walked into Zhangtai Palace, the soldiers and officials on both sides bowed to him, all the way until he sat down on the main seat.
However, there were some people who did not participate in the Imperial Court, such as Wang Wan, Wang Jian, Meng Ao, and many other people from the clans that rose up after Shang Yang.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then, they saw the officials stand up. Everything was the same as before, but what should come would come. After a while, Yan Bei, one of the nine ministers, walked out and shouted,"Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"
"Speak!"
Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the seat of honor, had a bright gleam in his eyes, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.
Yan Bei, one of the nine ministers, was recommended by the Meng family to become an official ten years ago. Even now, both parties were still in contact.
"This subject thinks that the king's imperial examinations cannot be done!”
"Whoosh!"
Hearing Yan Bei's words, the officials were in an uproar. Some people were shocked, knowing that the first person to start the group had already gone up. The others looked at each other and walked out one after another.
"Your Majesty! The imperial examination is the foundation of shaking the country. I think it is not feasible!”
"Your Majesty, the two sirs are right. If we act willfully, it won't be good for the country and the court!”
"That's right, Your Majesty. Right now, the entire world is discussing this imperial examination. It has already caused a lot of discussion. The officials and the people are all very worried about this system.”
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
“....”
One person fired the cannon, and everyone went into battle. This time, they reminded him more fiercely than before, as if they had to get a result today.
As time passed, more and more people stood up. They had all received the signal from the Meng, Xi, and Bai families yesterday.
As they had received their support in the early years, these people also felt that this matter was not good, so they agreed. They did not think much about it, except for a few people who planned to go down the dark path.
When Ying Zheng saw them coming out one by one, he found that they matched the name list that Mao Xiang had told him before, which made him sigh at the efficiency of the Brocade Guard.
When he saw that these people were almost done jumping out, he said faintly,"Are you done?"
“!!!”
Ying Zheng's attitude instantly dampened their enthusiasm.
How should he put it? When a normal ruler heard so many ministers oppose him, he would normally be angry and scold them.
After that, they would state the pros and cons, and their king would state the gains and losses. In the end, this matter was settled.
Everyone was happy!
However, Ying Zheng's attitude was cold, extremely cold, as if everything was under his control.
This caused some people to recall the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'actions, and their backs turned even colder.
"Are you done? Ying Zheng, let me tell you. This isn't over!"
"You want to reform the official selection system, but we won't agree!”
Just as the crowd quieted down, a large group of people walked in from Zhangtai Palace. The leaders were Simon, Bai Liang, and Meng Nan. Beside them stood Ying Lang and Ying Qi.
At this moment, they were a large group of people, causing the officials to retreat to the sides to make room for them.
The person who had spoken just now was Bai Liang. The Bai family still had some complaints about the winning rule.
He understood everything.
"Bai Liang?"
Seeing this, Ying Zheng's gaze swept across his body, and then turned to the others, only to discover that there were quite a number of aristocrats standing in front of Ying Zheng in an aggressive manner.
"Ying Zheng, you are the king, and the State of Qin is in chaos. We have come here to ask you, are you still going to hold the Imperial Examination?”
At this moment, Simon stood up and narrowed his eyes.
The others were the same. Although some of them were a little nervous, they felt relieved when they thought of their previous plan.
"I'll hold it. How about it?"
"So what if we don't hold it?"
Hearing Simon's words, Ying Zheng slowly stood up and looked down at Simon from above. He did not release the might of the emperor, but just stood there with his hands behind his back.
"I feel that regardless of whether it's held or not, you're not worthy of the position of King of Qin. During your reign, you've been doing a lot of construction work.”
"My Qin country can't withstand your torment. If it were up to me, there's no need to discuss the imperial examinations. Let's talk about the new king of Qin.”
At this moment, Meng Nan, who had not spoken, stepped forward. His words immediately caused an uproar in the imperial court, shocking everyone.
"Where are the imperial guards?" Ying Zheng sneered.”
In the past, when Ying Zheng said those words, there would definitely be people who would show up. But today, after Ying Zheng said those words, not a single one of those Imperial Guards moved. Clearly, they were " controlled " by someone.
"Hahaha, Ying Zheng, did you see that? Even the Imperial Guards are dissatisfied with your ruling!”
"Today is the day you are kicked out of the throne and return to the Qin country a clear sky!”
