Zhangtai Palace.
After Ying Zheng finished marking the memorial, he looked at Li Si and asked,""How is it? Have you found the person with the wisdom?”
" Yes, Your Majesty." Li Si cupped his hands." Those people seem to be hiding from us. We haven't found a single one yet."”
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed.
"What's going on? Why haven't we found any of them?”
Faced with Ying Zheng's question, Li Si did not dare to look into his eyes. He lowered his head and cupped his hands,""Those people are all nameless people. If they deliberately hide from us, finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack.”
"Are you deliberately avoiding us?"
Ying Zheng was startled at first, then he said coldly,""It seems that they do not wish to submit to the Imperial Court. In that case, there is no need to keep them.”
His seemingly casual words contained Ying Zheng's anger and murderous intent.
Li Si had followed Ying Zheng for many years, and he knew what Ying Zheng meant even without him explaining.
"Even that Fan Zeng?"
Just as Ying Zheng was about to speak, a servant suddenly walked in.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Feng is outside the palace seeking an audience.”
"Prime Minister Feng, what is he doing here?"
Ying Zheng was startled, but he still said,""Let him in.
Soon, Feng Quji walked in from outside.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need to be so polite. Minister Feng, what do you want?”Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that Fan Zeng has been found." Feng Quji cupped his hands.”
"Oh, where is he?"
Ying Zheng revealed a delighted expression.
Fan Zeng had the Art of Longevity. If he could obtain it, he would be able to live forever.
"In Chu," Feng Quji replied.
"Then why didn't you bring him back?”
"He said that he would only give the Art of Longevity to Your Majesty if Your Majesty went to Chu to see him."”
"Impudent!"
Ying Zheng was furious.
"A mere Fan Zeng wants me to see him personally. I think he doesn't want to live anymore.”
"Your Majesty, there is a descendant of Xiang Yan in Chu, Xiang Liang. I heard that this person has always wanted to revive Chu. Once Your Majesty goes there, it is very likely that he will be assassinated.”
"That's why Your Majesty must not go." Li Si cupped his hands.”
Ying Zheng was startled, and then he fell into deep thought.
Although he wanted to live forever, he would not act rashly.
"Then, Prime Minister Li, what should I do?" Ying Zheng asked Li Si.”
Li Si cupped his hands." The best way is to not leave Xianyang City. As long as Your Majesty doesn't leave Xianyang City, no one can hurt Your Majesty."”
Ying Zheng frowned. This was not the result he wanted.
Looking at Feng Quji, Ying Zheng asked,""Prime Minister Feng, what do you think?"
"Prime Minister Li is right. Chu is too dangerous. Your Majesty can't go." Feng Quji pondered for a moment and said.”
Ying Zheng frowned." If I don't go, how can I obtain the Art of Longevity? Why don't you go and capture Fan Zeng for me?"”
Feng Quji said," But Fan Zeng sent a message saying that he would only give the longevity technique to His Majesty if His Majesty went to see him personally. Otherwise, he would not meet anyone who went to look for him."”
Li Si's eyes narrowed, then he turned to Ying Zheng and said,""Your Majesty, it is obvious that Fan Zeng wants to lure you out of Xianyang City and then use Xiang Liang to kill you.”
Ying Zheng's face instantly darkened.
He felt that Li Si was right.
Fan Zeng had deliberately lured him to Chu.
But if he didn't go, how could he obtain the Art of Longevity?
For a moment, Ying Zheng didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, isn't Young Master Yingyun ranked first on the Intelligence Ranking? Why don't we ask him if he has any other ideas?”
Seeing Ying Zheng's hesitation, Li Si said.
He also wanted to see if Ying Yun, who was ranked first on the wisdom ranking, was really resourceful or just had an undeserved reputation.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng looked outside the palace and said,""Men, summon Ying Yun to see me, and also summon Zhao Gao and Huhai.”
One more person meant one more way.
Ying Zheng had always regarded Zhao Gao as his confidant. Therefore, whenever he encountered a problem that could not be solved, he would always look for Zhao Gao to discuss it together.
Ganquan Palace.
Ying Yun and Zhuge Liang were playing chess in the room.
"My lord, do you think His Majesty will be able to find those people on the Wisdom Ranking?”
Zhuge Liang asked Ying Yun after placing the chess pieces on the chessboard.
Ying Yun replied without hesitation,"I can't."
"Why?" Zhuge Liang was puzzled.
Ying Yun said," Because some of them are the remnants of the six countries, and some of them don't want to work for Great Qin. In their hearts, Great Qin is now a tyrannical Qin and isn't worthy of their loyalty.”
Zhuge Liang frowned." With the temper of the First Emperor, he would definitely kill them if he couldn't recruit them."”
Ying Yun was about to say something when a servant walked in and bowed to him."Young Master Ying Yun, His Majesty has summoned you to the palace for a meeting.”
Ying Yun frowned. What was the matter?
Zhuge Liang saw Ying Yun frown and smiled,"My liege, if Liang is not wrong, His Majesty should not be able to recruit those people, so he came to you to think of a way.”
Ying Yun was startled. He then smiled and said," It should be. However, he also wanted to use this opportunity to test me. He wanted to see if I really had a plan."”
With that, he left with the attendant.
He was ranked first on the Wisdom Ranking List, so Ying Zheng would not pretend that he did not see it, and would definitely find a way to test him.
All of this was within Ying Yun's expectations.
When Ying Yun followed his servant to Zhangtai Palace, he saw Zhao Gao and Huhai.
"Yo, isn't this the first place on the Wisdom Ranking? I don't know how the Wisdom Ranking is ranked. Someone like you who has never contributed to the cause can actually rank first.”
Huhai looked at Ying Yun with disdain.
Ying Yun said," That's right. I'm also very curious. Even someone like me can rank first, but you can't even enter the top ten. How sad!"”
"You!"
"Young Master Ying Yun, don't go too far with your words. Even though you're number one, you've never offered a plan for Great Qin. As such, this old servant feels that you're only number one on the Wisdom Ranking Board for nothing.”
Zhao Gao looked at Ying Yun and said.
He and Huhai were both very dissatisfied with Ying Yun, who was ranked first on the Wisdom Ranking.
Ying Yun stared at Zhao Gao with a disdainful expression and said,"The Zhao Manor's commander has been assisting Imperial Father for many years, right? He must have contributed a lot of strategies. Why hasn't he even entered the top ten?”
"Or could it be that the schemes that Zhao Manor ordered were all small tricks that were not worth mentioning, so much so that they were even ignored on the Wisdom Rankings?”
"You!"
When Zhao Gao heard this, he was so angry that his lungs exploded.
If he did not think that the other party was a prince, he would have gone crazy.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gao tried his best to calm himself down. Then, he looked at Ying Yun and squeezed out a smile.
"I didn't expect young master Ying Yun to be so eloquent. This old servant is really surprised. It seems that the low-profile young master Ying Yun was just pretending.”
"However, paper can't hide fire. No matter how deep you hide it, it will be exposed sooner or later.”
Then he looked at Huhai and said,"Young Master, let's go."”
Huhai glanced at Ying Yun and followed Zhao Gao into the hall.
Ying Yun looked at the backs of the two people and sneered before following them in.
"Do you know why I've called you here?" Ying Zheng asked.”
"I don't know," Zhao Gao cupped his hands.
Huhai also cupped his hands.”
Ying Zheng was startled. Seeing that Ying Yun did not say anything, he looked at Ying Yun and asked,""Yun, do you know why Imperial Father called you here?”
Ying Yun knew that Ying Zheng had called him here to test if he really had a plan.
Since he was already ranked first on the Wisdom Ranking Board, he had to be careful.
If he continued to pretend, he would definitely anger Ying Zheng.
"If I'm not wrong, Father has called us here for two things."”
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise and said,""Oh, which two?"
"The first matter should be that Imperial Father couldn't find anyone else on the Wisdom Ranking, so he came to discuss with us."”
"As for the other thing, it should be that Father wants to obtain the Art of Longevity, but he can't find Fan Zeng.”
Ying Zheng and Li Si were both dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.
They had never thought that Ying Yun would actually be able to guess what they were talking about. Wasn't this too godly?
