"Meng Yi?"
"Summon him in!"
Ying Zheng was about to send someone to find this guy, but this guy took the initiative to come.
That would save him the trouble of sending people to look for him!
He wanted to ask, why would this guy lend troops to the Crown Prince?
"Here!"
The eunuch received the decree and hurriedly ran out. Not long after, a general who looked like a big tabby cat ran in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty…!"
Meng Yi was carrying a big bag of things in his arms. He was very far away, so he shouted excitedly.
"You…why are you in such a sorry state?”
Ying Zheng scanned him from head to toe and frowned.
This guy's face was like a big cat with a lot of black dust on it.
Not only that, but there was still something like shit at the corner of his mouth!
He was holding a bag of things in his arms, and he could vaguely see a few pieces of black charcoal!
No matter how he looked at it, it was as if he had been fed sh * t and had lost his mind due to anger!
"Your Majesty, precious treasures!"
"It's a treasure that concerns the prosperity of Great Qin!”
Meng Yi pointed at a bag of things in his arms and said incoherently with excitement.
After learning about the production of sweet potatoes and corn outside the city, he directly returned to the city and prepared to mobilize more soldiers to protect the farmland.
However, he couldn't hold it in any longer and directly ran to the Imperial Palace, preparing to report his happiness to the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
"What treasure?"
"Does it have to do with the prosperity of Great Qin?”
Ying Zheng looked at his incoherent appearance and seriously suspected that he had lost his mind.
"Your Majesty, do you want to try this?"
Meng Yi knew that he couldn't just rely on words, so he peeled a black lump and presented it to the livestream.
The Meng brothers were Ying Zheng's trusted subordinates, so no one stopped him when he approached.
"Yes! It tastes good!"
"What is this black lump?"
Ying Zheng took a bite. It was soft and sweet, and his eyes could not help but light up.
"This thing baked it…!”
As Meng Yi spoke, he took out a raw sweet potato." This is called a sweet potato. It's drought-resistant and easy to grow. It's a high-yield variety that the Crown Prince imported from overseas. It can produce up to four to five thousand catties per mu!”
"Four to five thousand catties per mu?"
Ying Zheng suddenly raised his head, his face full of shock.
"That's right!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince has planted more than a thousand acres outside the city. Your Majesty can go and verify it at any time!”
Meng Yi nodded with certainty.
"If the yield per mu is 4,000 to 5,000 catties, it will affect the prosperity of Great Qin!”
"If the commoners had their stomachs filled, why would they rebel?”
Looking at the sweet potato in his hand, Ying Zheng couldn't help but nod.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince killed an important official of the court without authorization. His crime is truly unforgivable. Please make a decision for us, Your Majesty!”
When Yan Shun, who was beside him, saw Meng Yi change the topic, he quickly cried out again.
If Ying Zheng went to look at some sweet potatoes and ignored Zhao Gao's death, wouldn't his kowtowing just now be in vain?
"Oh, as the dean of the court, why didn't you stop the crown prince from borrowing soldiers?”
With Yan Shun crying like this, only then did Ying Zheng recall what happened just now.
"Your Majesty, this official wants to stop him, but the Crown Prince has already killed until his eyes are red. This official simply can't stop him!”
Meng Yi smiled bitterly and pretended to be helpless.
"What exactly happened?"
"Tell me in detail?"
Seeing that he didn't have a beginning or an end to what he said, Ying Zheng was confused. His expression turned stiff as he urged impatiently.
"It's like this…!"
"I received the Crown Prince's personal order saying that there is an important treasure related to the prosperity of Great Qin and that I need to send troops to protect it!”
"I felt that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay, so I personally led the troops over!”
"Who would have thought that when I arrived, I happened to see the assassins from the Network assassinating the Crown Prince!”
"The Crown Prince may have been too young and aggressive, so he led this subject's troops back to Xianyang!”
Meng Yi told him everything that had happened.
However, he added a little oil and vinegar!
In fact, he didn't see the assassination with his own eyes. He only saw the corpses on the ground.
However, in order to confirm Zhao Gao's crime, he simply took the initiative to be a witness!
"What?"
"How dare Wang Net assassinate the Crown Prince?"
Hearing what he said, Ying Zheng flew into a rage. His face, which was originally dignified without anger, was now filled with killing intent!
Zhao Gao's death was nothing!
At most, he would find another Li Gao or Qian Gao!
In short, there were many officials. Let alone one, it was not a big deal even if ten of them died!
But there was only one Crown Prince!
Especially the Crown Prince, who had outstanding abilities!
If anything happened, who would inherit the Great Qin Empire?
"Your Majesty is wise. The Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate is not a fool. Why would he assassinate the Crown Prince with such great fanfare?”
"Someone must be pretending to be a net killer and trying to frame the Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate!”
Yan Shun, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly defended Zhao Gao.
Because he knew about the assassination plan!
He knew that those assassins were dressed like Mohists and farmers. They did not have any net on them!
That was why he dared to defend Zhao Gao.
"Your Majesty, half of the assassins are prisoners who escaped from the Tooth Prison, and one of them is the Black Swordsman Sheng Qi!”
"Obviously, someone deliberately let them out and used them to deal with His Highness the Crown Prince!”
"In addition, the three people we caught alive have confessed. One of them is a first-class assassin of the Network!”
"He confessed that he was ordered by Zhao Gao to murder the Crown Prince!”
Meng Yi told him everything Ba Qing had told him.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face turned ashen, and his tiger eyes were about to spit out fire!
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!”
At this moment, the internal history of the grain management didn't go through the eunuch's report and ran in in a panic.
Behind him were two soldiers carrying a large pile of bamboo slips.
According to the rules of the palace, if something urgent happened, the officials could directly enter the palace for an audience.
"Speak?"
"I was ordered by the Crown Prince to raid Zhao Gao's mansion and seized six hundred thousand taels of gold and countless gold, silver, and silk!”
"In addition, we also found some letters that Zhao Gao secretly colluded with the rebels!”
"Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Zisu said as he handed over a few bamboo slips.
"Pa…!"
Ying Zheng, who was already furious, picked up a scroll and flipped through it. Before he could finish reading it, he threw the bamboo scroll on the ground.
