Looking at the shocked ministers present, Ying Zheng turned to Wang Ben, who was standing rooted to the ground, and said,
"Marquis Tong Wu, did you not hear my order?”
Wang Ben immediately reacted. Although he didn't know why Ying Zheng wanted him to raid Zhao Gao's mansion, as a minister, Wang Ben knew his duty very well. He immediately cupped his fists and accepted the order,
"Here! I will do it now!"
After that, Wang Ben left with his sword in his hand. When he walked to Wang Jian's side, Wang Ben looked at him with a questioning look. Seeing Wang Jian nod at him, Wang Ben guessed that Wang Jian must have known something, so he quickly left without thinking too much about it.
As the Prime Minister, Li Si naturally sensed that something was wrong, and asked Ying Zheng respectfully,
"Your Majesty, what crime did Zhao Gao commit? How could he make His Majesty so angry?"
All the officials and ministers looked over at him. Ying Zheng snorted with a stern expression and said,
"We'll mention this matter when we return to the palace!"
After saying that, the carriage started to move slowly. Li Si and the other officials followed behind Ying Zheng's carriage in confusion. Looking at the carriage beside him, he said in a low voice,
"Grand Preceptor Wang, you went to the Immortal Land with His Majesty, but what happened in the Immortal Land that no one knows about?”
Wang Jian raised his head and took a glance at Ying Zheng's back, knowing that there was no harm in telling this to Li Si.
He immediately told Li Si everything that had happened in the mysterious space in a low voice!
He heard that he could see what was going to happen in the future in the Immortal Land, that Ying Zheng almost died in the sand dunes, and that Zhao Gao even tampered with the posthumous edict after Ying Zheng's death, resulting in the death of the second generation of Great Qin...
Li Si's mouth was wide open in surprise. Looking at Ying Zheng's back, he said,
"This Zhao Gao is really bold! Fortunately, His Majesty has returned safely. Zhao Gao is not here. His Majesty must have tested Zhao Gao's wild ambition…His Majesty…has changed the future, right?”
Li Si turned to look at Wang Jian in disbelief. Wang Jian chuckled and stroked his beard.
"It should be! Zhao Gao's death was not worth regretting! His Majesty seized Zhao Gao's residence and imprisoned Zhao Gao's family. He deserved it the most!”
Li Si nodded upon hearing that. He then recalled what Wang Jian had said about Ying Zheng being afraid that he would only have three to five months to live after he obtained the Longevity Extending Pill. He immediately said in a low voice with great concern,
"What will Great Qin do in three to five months?”
Wang Jian shook his head and sighed.
"I hope that the next time Your Majesty goes to that immortal land, you can turn the world around and change the destiny…"
Li Si's eyes lit up. He was looking forward to entering the Immortal Land as well.
Not long after, Ying Zheng returned to the palace with all the officials, and asked Fu Su to tell him the whole story!
When the officials heard this, they said hatefully,
"Damn it! Zhao Gao, this traitor, deserved to die! It's a waste of Your Majesty's favor and trust for him!"
"Your Majesty, well done! Zhao Gao deserved to die! His Majesty was already very merciful by not killing his entire family!”
"Fortunately, Your Majesty went to the Immortal Land and saw the future from the Immortal Land! Otherwise, Great Qin will be in danger!"
"The heavens are blessing Great Qin! God bless His Majesty…"
Listening to the excited discussions of the officials, Ying Zheng sat on the throne with an imposing manner. He glared at the officials and said,
"The trip to the Immortal World not only allowed me to see Zhao Gao's true colors! At the same time, there are some officials who have disappointed me!”
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, all the civil and military officials present were stunned. They lowered their heads and listened to Ying Zheng's words in silence,
"For example, Zhao Gao's son-in-law, Yan Le, dared to listen to Zhao Gao's words in the future and force the second emperor of Qin to death! How could such a treacherous subject not be a disaster for Great Qin? There were also greedy officials who were on good terms with Zhao Gao who actually agreed with Zhao Gao in the imperial court and did such a ridiculous thing! After I die, how can I hand Great Qin over to you?”
Hearing Ying Zheng's angry question, all the ministers who were standing there felt their hearts tremble, and bowed to Ying Zheng in unison,
"Your Majesty's martial arts luck is prosperous! Live as long as the heavens!"
"With Your Majesty around, Great Qin will live forever!”
Ying Zheng laughed coldly, then looked at the few trembling and sweating ministers, who were the greedy ministers that Ying Zheng had met in the mysterious space, and agreed with Zhao Gao's accusation. He said,
"It's all a lie to say that one's lifespan is as long as the heavens! I only have three to five months left to live! In the few days left, I will clean up the court! Punish the sycophants! Everyone standing, take care!"
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, a few of the officials standing among them trembled!
At this moment, a servant quickly came to the palace and said to Ying Zheng,
"Your Majesty! Marquis Tong Wu had returned from the raid on Zhao Gao's residence!”
Ying Zheng did not expect Wang Ben to act so quickly, so he said in surprise,
"Oh? Summon Martial Lord Tong into the palace!"
Following the summons of the audience, Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, quickly walked up to the hall and greeted Ying Zheng,
"I, Wang Ben, have complied with Your Majesty's order to raid Zhao Gao's mansion! They found evidence of Zhao Gao openly selling his official position and seized more than ten million pieces! It was equivalent to five years of tax revenue from the Great Qin Treasury! This was the name list of the people who had bought an official position from Zhao Gao! Please take a look, Your Majesty!"
All the officials present were shocked by Wang Ben's announcement, and the few officials who had bought their positions from Zhao Gao were so scared that their knees went weak and they fell to the ground!
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
The ministers who were standing looked at the few ministers who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy in surprise. They pointed and discussed in low voices!
"Too arrogant! He was too arrogant! This Zhao Gao actually dared to sell his official position! Moreover, he had even embezzled five years of Great Qin's tax revenue! This is simply too arrogant!"
