Ding! Quest completed.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Hundred Year Internal Strength Pill.
Ding…Hundred Year Internal Strength Pill has been distributed to your bosom.
Lu Xuan stopped when he heard the system's voice.
He reached into his bosom and touched it. As expected, he found a crystal clear medicinal pill.
"With this pill, my strength can go up another level.”
Lu Xuan was overjoyed.
He glanced at Huhai, who had been beaten into a pig's head.
"Hurry up and get lost!"
Huhai crawled up from the ground and ran out with the servants carrying the boxes.
"Damn it, I am the young master of the Great Qin Empire. How dare he hit me? I must go to my father and report him.”
Walking out of Lanchi Palace, Huhai's hatred was hard to quell, and he headed straight for Xianyang Palace.
Xianyang Palace.
In the royal study.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Ying Zheng listened to the report sent back by the secret line. His dragon eyes were as dark as the abyss.
The officials below were all indignant.
"He's too arrogant. He actually dares to hit His Majesty's biological son. Is he trying to rebel?”
"Your Majesty, Divine Immortal Marquis ignored the court rules and beat Young Master. I request Your Majesty to immediately issue a decree to punish him.”
"Marquis Deity's actions were not done by an official, so he must be severely punished.”
……
In the royal study, the ministers all voiced out their demands for Lu Xuan to be severely punished.
But Ying Zheng remained silent.
Indifferent.
After a long time, these people finally realized that the atmosphere was a little off and gradually stopped talking.
"Are you done?"
Ying Zheng's dragon-like voice echoed slowly in the royal study.
The officials below felt the temperature in the study suddenly drop a lot, and they felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
"I have repeatedly ordered that the young masters are not to make friends with the officials of the court. Have you all done it?”
Ying Zheng asked slowly.
"Your Majesty!"
The officials in the study were all shocked and quickly knelt down.
"We have failed the emperor and deserve to die.”
"Humph!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly.
The young masters befriending ministers had almost become a chronic illness in the court.
In the past dynasties, this kind of thing had been banned many times.
There was no other reason.
Everyone knew that the emperor would die eventually.
The next generation would inherit the throne.
Making friends in advance would bring huge benefits to himself and his family.
The merit of supporting someone was always the greatest merit.
These young masters who had yet to take over also wanted to borrow the power of the officials in the court.
The two of them colluded with each other.
Such a thing was a taboo for the emperors of the past dynasties, but it could not be eliminated.
However…
He was the First Emperor.
He swept across the six directions and unified the sea.
In his heart, he had the lofty ambition to reform the old system and create a new style.
He had long wanted to do something about such a chronic illness.
However, in order to unify the Six Nations and maintain the stability of the country, this matter had been delayed.
If Lu Xuan had not used this as an excuse to beat Huhai up, Ying Zheng would have let him go for a while.
However, since he had such a catalyst, he would take the opportunity to strike.
This was the path of an emperor.
"Divine Immortal Marquis, well done!"
" As a subject," Ying Zheng said loudly," you should serve your king like a father.”
"There are no two suns in the sky, and no two masters in the country."
"I'm not dead yet. I'm still alive. Are you in a hurry to befriend the young masters to curse me to die early?”
His voice was like thunder as it suddenly exploded.
In the study, all the officials 'faces were pale as paper, crying in pain.
"We have no second thoughts. Please understand, Your Majesty.”
……
"Alright!" Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"I will not pursue the matters of the past.”
"From now on, if any of the officials in the court secretly befriend the young masters and plot to engage in private affairs, I will severely punish them!”
Ying Zheng's voice was deafening.
All the officials were trembling with fear.
At this moment, a young eunuch came to report.
"The Eighteenth Young Master requests an audience."
"Summon him in!" Ying Zheng said expressionlessly.
"Yes!"
Soon, Huhai walked in with a swollen face and snot.
"Father! Father! You must help your son!"
As soon as Huhai walked in, he cried and knelt on the ground.
"Your son was kind enough to give Marquis Deity a gift, but unexpectedly, he was beaten up!”
He tilted his head and pointed at his own face.
"Imperial Father, look at what he has done to your son.”
"Why did you give him a gift?”Ying Zheng's cold voice rang out.
Huhai's body suddenly stiffened.
That was not right.
Why did his tone sound so strange?
Only then did he realize that there were many officials present in the royal study.
All of them were silent out of fear.
Did Imperial Father just get angry?
Did I come at a bad time?
Huhai cursed in his heart, not knowing what to do.
"Do you think that the Divine Immortal Marquis has no roots in the imperial court, so you can rope him in and use him to cultivate your own power in the imperial court?”
Ying Zheng asked coldly.
Hu Hai felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Imperial Father, your son…"
He knelt down with a thud.
He knocked his head on the ground, his entire body trembling, and he was so scared that he couldn't speak.
"What Zhen gave you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't snatch it."
Ying Zheng's voice was flat, but in the royal study, it sounded like thunder rumbling in the nine heavens.
"Pass down the decree. The Immortal Marquis is loyal to the monarch and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a thousand households of food.”
"Yes!"
Immediately, a young eunuch went out to deliver the decree.
Huhai kneeled on the ground, his face even uglier than his pig head.
"All of you may leave."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"I will not pursue the matters of the past.”
"All of you, wake up."
"I am still alive, not dead."
Ying Zheng's voice suddenly rose.
The ministers and Huhai were all frightened and broke out in cold sweat.
"Don't always think about forming cliques and forming cliques for personal gain.”
"Think about how to serve the country and the imperial court.”
"I'm sleepy."
After saying that, Ying Zheng walked towards the sleeping chamber behind him.
Seeing him disappear, Huhai's body went limp and he fell to the ground weakly.
