Since father and son had reunited, it was already a matter of course.
Zhao Yan naturally began to consider what he should do as Brother Zheng's son.
First, he had to bring his scumbag father to pay tribute to his mother!
Zhao Yan clearly remembered the scene of his mother sitting at the entrance of the village and watching in the direction of Xianyang in the north every time the sun set.
He was not a real child, so he could naturally tell that there was someone living in his mother's heart. She loved him deeply.
No matter how good his scumbag father was to him, he could not make up for what he owed his mother.
He would pay his respects to his mother and comfort her spirit in heaven. He would let her see his current situation. She would definitely be very gratified.
Secondly, Zhao Yan had another important mission.
That was, it was time to make good use of the devilish brat system to cause trouble!
Previously, when he was among the people, he had also used the system to cause trouble everywhere and brought out the attributes of a devilish child to the extreme.
However, there was really nothing to squeeze out of ordinary civilians.
Even if he struggled to the death, he would not be able to get any decent rewards.
To take advantage of others, he still had to look at Brother Zheng and Wang Jian.
Just the four great inventions alone, three of them came from Brother Zheng!
Any one of them could be compared to all the previous ones.
Moreover, Zhao Yan had another motive.
The human heart couldn't stand being tormented!
When Zhao Yingluo passed away, Zhao Yan lived alone in the village. He practically grew up eating a hundred meals.
He caused trouble everywhere in the village. Over time, he became hated by everyone. Almost everyone thought that he was a scourge!
Even though Zhao Yan had used the system's rewards to secretly help the villagers a lot, no one appreciated it. This made Zhao Yan very disappointed.
He wanted to see if Brother Zheng could still love him as much as he did when he showed his devilish side.
If Brother Zheng was still the same as before, it meant that he had truly accepted and acknowledged her from the bottom of his heart and not out of guilt.
……
While Zhao Yan was lying on the roof of his house and thinking about life.
In the Imperial Palace, Brother Zheng and Wang Jian sat opposite each other.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Yan's identity has basically been confirmed. For now, should we bring him into the palace, acknowledge his ancestors, and change his surname and name?”
Wang Jian asked carefully.
The identity of a clan disciple was no small matter.
Even though the Ying family had a large population, Brother Zheng's royal family did not have a large population.
Back then, Brother Zheng's father, Qin Yiren, was a middle-aged man who wandered alone in Handan.
When it came to Brother Zheng, he was all alone and had almost no close relatives.
His only half-brother, Cheng Jiao, was killed because of his rebellion.
It could be said that other than Brother Zheng, the current Imperial Family only had the Eighteen Sons of the Ancestral Dragon. They were not considered a large clan.
Under such circumstances, each and every one of Brother Zheng's bloodlines had to be treasured.
Thus, Zhao Yan's return to the clan was imminent.
"Of course!" Brother Zheng nodded.”
Wang Jian had just revealed a smile on his face when Brother Zheng's next sentence directly made his smile freeze on his face.
"I want to make Zhao Yingluo the Empress, what does Old General think?”
Brother Zheng's tone was calm. If one did not hear the content of his words clearly, one would think that he was really just chatting casually.
But the moment Big Brother Zheng's words came out, it was no different from setting off monstrous waves in Wang Jian's heart!
After Brother Zheng's power was revealed, this had always been a huge uncertainty for the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty.
In other words, this was a huge threat to Great Qin!
Making an empress wasn't simply establishing the position of the head of the harem.
The most important thing was to express the Emperor's position regarding the candidate for the Crown Prince!
The customs of the Xia countries had always been that there was an order of seniority, and there was a difference between the Di and Shu.
After Brother Zheng's death, the candidate for the Crown Prince had never been determined.
Previously, Fu Su was the Eldest Young Master, and his character and knowledge were all top-notch.
Almost everyone thought that Fu Su was the most suitable candidate in Brother Zheng's mind.
However, who would have thought that Fu Su would follow the path of the scholarly faction to the end and be exiled to the border by Brother Zheng, causing the situation in the court to become even more uncertain.
It was because of this that Zhao Gao and the others around Huhai dared to stir up trouble.
He even had the guts to defy the heavens!
If it was in the pre-Qin period, the countries would be in a chaotic war.
The so-called crown prince of almost every country was just like that.
In such a chaotic situation, the eldest son being made the Crown Prince was completely useless.
There were countless young masters of the royal family who were sent to other countries as hostages. In the end, they completed their counterattack and became the ruler of a country.
However, now that the Great Qin Empire had settled down, they naturally had to pay more attention to etiquette.
Brother Zheng wanted to make an empress, and it was a woman who had passed away.
If Zhao Yingluo didn't have any children, others would naturally think that Brother Zheng was deeply in love with her, using the position of Empress to make up for his regret towards Zhao Yingluo.
But since Zhao Yingluo had a son, Brother Zheng's meaning was very obvious.
Once Zhao Yingluo was made the Empress, Zhao Yan would be the legitimate Di son.
Then, he would be the rightful ruler of Great Qin, and no one would be able to compete with him!
However, was this really good?
Brother Zheng was obviously grooming Zhao Yan as the Crown Prince.
Wang Jian could hear that Brother Zheng's current tone was calm, but the will that he displayed was extremely firm!
All these years, the supporters of Fusu and Huhai had never stopped fighting in the imperial court.
Behind Fu Su was his teacher, Chunyu Yue, and behind Huhai was Zhao Gao, Li Si, and the others. They had always been at odds with each other in the Imperial Court.
When it came to the issue between the two of them, it could be said that they would fight for every inch and would not give in.
When they were at the sand dune, Brother Zheng had dealt with Huhai.
It could be said that Fusu's faction was the most powerful faction in the royal court.
The courtiers who were not close to Fu Su in the past were also gradually getting closer to him.
Almost everyone thought that Fu Su's succession was already set in stone.
At this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly appeared!
To be honest, this was simply a great thing for the Wang Clan of Pinyang that Wang Jian was in!
After all, Zhao Yan had no foundation in Xianyang. The only person he could rely on was his brother Zheng Yue Wang Jian.
There was no need to mention Brother Zheng, just Wang Jian.
Wang Jian had also taught Zhao Yan a skill, so it was a proper master-disciple relationship.
The Wang family and Zhao Yan were practically bound together.
With Brother Zheng's support, if Zhao Yan could successfully become the Crown Prince, it would be a great boon for the Wang family.
But at this moment, Wang Jian frowned slightly, and there was not the slightest hint of excitement on his face.
"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be considered. I think that it is not appropriate to establish an empress now. After all, Little Lord is still young…"
Brother Zheng looked deeply at Wang Jian.
He understood Wang Jian's meaning.
Once Zhao Yingluo was made queen, Zhao Yan would immediately become the target of public criticism.
At that time, all the nobles in the court, especially those who leaned towards Fu Su, would see Zhao Yan as a thorn in their side.
Brother Zheng shook his head with a firm expression.
"Wang Qing, you don't understand me on this matter!”
Hearing that, Wang Jian's entire body shook.
He and Brother Zheng had been monarch and minister for decades. During these decades, the relationship between the two of them was close day by day.
Up until now, the two of them gave off the feeling that they were more like good friends than monarch and minister.
When Brother Zheng saw Wang Jian, he addressed him as "Old General", showing respect and intimacy.
Wang Jian himself had almost forgotten when was the last time Brother Zheng called him "Wang Qing".
Even this form of address came out. Wang Jian naturally knew that Brother Zheng was incomparably serious at this time.
Brother Zheng sighed faintly and did not say anything else.
Wang Jian did not know, but how could he not know himself?
What she owed Zhao Yingluo, how could a mere empress be able to repay it!
Zhao Yingluo had saved his life!
It could be said that without Zhao Yingluo, Ying Zheng would have died in the assassination five years ago.
Not to mention, this infatuated woman had even given birth to a child for him and had waited for him bitterly for three years.
Even if Brother Zheng's state of mind was as firm as a rock, he didn't dare to imagine how Zhao Yingluo spent those three years.
To her, becoming an empress was not a reward or anything. It was just a way to slightly relieve some of her guilt.
As for other things, it was not that Brother Zheng had not thought about them before.
Indeed, it was as Wang Jian had said. After the empress was established, Zhao Yan would most likely become the target of public criticism.
But what effect did this have?
With Zhao Yan's intelligence, was he not qualified to be the Crown Prince?
Not to mention, he was only three years old this year. In ten years, even Brother Zheng could not imagine what kind of monstrous level he could develop to.
Moreover, the position of the Crown Prince of Great Qin was not so easy to take.
Brother Zheng's father, as a hostage, had managed to get in touch with Madam Hua Yang through Lu Buwei's manipulation.
He had gone through countless hardships before he became the King of Qin.
As for Brother Zheng himself, his life was also full of misfortune when he was young.
Because of this, Brother Zheng knew better than anyone else.
Only after experiencing these hardships could one grow into a truly powerful person.
Only such a person had the right to become Great Qin's heir apparent and become the second emperor of Great Qin in the future.
According to this standard, even Fu Su was miles away from the qualified heir in Brother Zheng's heart.
Since he treated Zhao Yan like his own son, Brother Zheng would naturally spoil him.
However, if it was related to national affairs, Brother Zheng would not be biased even towards Zhao Yan!
At most, it was to create an environment for him to temper himself.
……
In the next two days, the Black Ice Platform went out on a large scale to capture people everywhere.
All the noble families in Guanzhong were facing intense turmoil.
Countless people had been captured by the Black Ice Platform.
Among the big shots, it had almost reached the point of overcrowding.
The hall of the Bai family mansion in Xianyang City was filled with people.
The three people who were kneeling in a row at the head of the table were the three elders of the Bai family.
Bai Chen knelt beside them, his expression extremely solemn.
"Who would have thought that Zhao Yan was the son of the First Emperor!”
A member of the Bai Family who was in charge of gathering information frowned and sighed.
Two days ago, the Bai family was still in high spirits, wanting to unite with the other dignitaries to suppress the World Bookstore.
In order to bring down the World Bookstore, they had gone to great lengths and suffered heavy losses.
Lu Ping, the lackey of the Bai family, was even beaten into a eunuch because of this matter. He had no descendants and was completely abandoned.
Now that things had come to this, they suddenly realized that the World Bookstore was not an existence that they could afford to provoke.
" I've already investigated. All the original books in the World Bookstore came from the imperial palace's collection…"
When Bai Chen heard this, he was somewhat unable to control his temper. He directly opened his mouth and retorted,""Now, the entire Guanzhong knows that Zhao Yan is the Emperor's son. Is it strange that the books of the World Bookstore come from the Imperial Palace?”
These two days, Bai Chen's mood was not good.
It wasn't because Brother Zheng had fined him a year's salary.
In fact, something like salary was completely a fart to Bai Chen.
What he was most angry about was the extreme dissatisfaction of the Bai family's ability to investigate information.
Zhao Yan was the Imperial Prince!
They had actually missed out on such important information.
If he had known this earlier, Bai Chen would definitely not have stupidly sent people to the bookstore to cause trouble.
Then, it wouldn't have been too late when the truth was revealed.
Bai Chen's status in the Bai Clan was not ordinary. The moment he spoke, that person directly changed the topic.
"In the past two days, the Black Ice Platform has been searching for the descendants of the nobility. As far as I know, the number of people who have been imprisoned by the Black Ice Platform has already exceeded a thousand!”
Bai Chen nodded and then shook his head.
In this matter, the thing he couldn't understand the most was why Brother Zheng would support a three-year-old kid so strongly.
He admitted that the child was indeed extraordinary, but this could not be the reason for the Emperor to do so.
Even two days after the incident, the Black Ice Platform was still arresting people.
These two people, all the nobles in Guanzhong were panicking.
No one believed that the Black Ice Platform's criteria for capturing people was that they had offended Zhao Yan.
However, there was no other explanation.
His Majesty was so furious just because they had provoked his son?
Bai Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
He already had some ideas in mind.
Looking at the lifeless hall, he did not have the slightest interest in talking.
Meng, Xi, and Bai had been lying on their ancestors 'merit books for too long, so much so that they had lost the instinct to be vigilant in times of peace.
The entire clan, including the few elders, had the mentality of muddling along.
They would participate in the trouble.
However, if they couldn't do it, they would immediately retract their claws to avoid being broken by the roots.
The actions of the Black Ice Platform in the past two days had frightened them.
Therefore, the elders suggested that the Bai family should stay out of harm's way and not provoke Zhao Yan.
Regarding this decision, Bai Chen could only scoff at it.
Even if they did not provoke Zhao Yan, would the Emperor and his son really let the Bai family off?
Moreover, as long as the World Bookstore did not collapse, a noble like the Bai family would be eaten up sooner or later!
In such a life-and-death situation, there was not much difference between dying early or late.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings, not worth scheming with!”
Walking out of the hall, Bai Chen muttered fiercely.
