In front of Xianyang City.
Zhao Gao and Huhai kept sizing up the people who came and went.
"Teacher, what should we do? It's already been two days and there's still no news of Ying Yun.”
" It seems like Ying Yun is dead," Zhao Gao said with a serious expression." Otherwise, it's impossible for there to be no news at all after such a long time."”
At this point, he continued," But it's good that he's dead. We have one less competitor. As for His Majesty, you can rest assured. This old servant has served him for many years. He won't go so far as to kill this old servant."”
"And Young Master is his son, so he can't kill Young Master.”
Huhai let out a long sigh.
Even if Ying Zheng didn't kill them, they would definitely be punished.
It would be troublesome if Fu Su took the opportunity to rise to power during this period of punishment.
While the two of them were talking, they did not see a familiar figure pass by them.
Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng sat in his study. As Li Si continued to report the situation in Pei County, his face grew more and more solemn.
"The drought in Pei County is getting worse, and the remnants of the Six Nations have begun to show up. According to our investigation, the people who instigated the rumors are the remnants of the Six Nations.”
" I can understand that the remnants of the six dynasties are spreading rumors to overthrow Great Qin," Ying Zheng said angrily." But why would the people believe it?"”
"Natural disasters are not man-made. How can they be blamed on me?”
Even though Ying Zheng was superstitious.
However, he would definitely not agree to this.
Li Si said," The commoners are mediocre and not wise. If their lives are not good, they will have grievances. In the long run, as long as someone with a heart instigates them, they will be used.”
"Prime Minister Li, is there really no solution?”
Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at Li Si, asking with a serious face.
Li Si pondered for a while and said," If the national treasury has food, we can allocate it to the disaster relief. However, the three expeditions to Baiyue and the construction of the Great Wall and the spiritual canal have already depleted the national treasury."”
"It's difficult to solve this problem now.”
" You're my favorite advisor." Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed." If even you can't find a solution, who else can?"”
"If Young Master Yingyun were here, he would definitely have a way. But…" Li Si was stunned.
He was ranked second on the Wisdom Ranking.
Ying Yun was ranked first.
Now, even he had no way. If he had to ask who else had a way, it could only be Ying Yun.
Ying Zheng saw that Li Si wanted to say something but hesitated, so he naturally knew what he wanted to say.
" Zhao Gao and Huhai are trash. If it weren't for them, Yun wouldn't have been trapped. I don't even know if he's dead or alive."”
" Your Majesty, didn't the people you sent see if Young Master Yingyun was alive or dead?" Li Si asked.”
Ever since Ying Yun, Zhao Gao, and Huhai left Xianyang, Ying Zheng had sent people to follow them.
Firstly, it was to protect him, and secondly, he wanted to see if they really wanted to find Fan Zeng for him.
" The people we sent only said that after Yun was trapped, they started fighting with the enemy," Ying Zheng said." But because they were outnumbered, they had no choice but to retreat.”
" Young Master Yingyun," Li Si said thoughtfully." Young Master Yingyun has only fought in front of us once, so I don't know much about his combat strength."”
"Facing thousands of people, I'm afraid it's not going to end well.”
" That's what I'm worried about," Ying Zheng said with a grave expression." But they didn't find any corpse. That means he might be fine. Perhaps he's recuperating somewhere."”
"Your Majesty, why don't I send someone to look for him?”
Since he could not think of a solution, Li Si also did not know what ideas he should give Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then said," Alright, even if you have to turn the Great Qin upside down, you have to find the cloud for me."”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to find him.”
Li Si then turned to leave.
After Li Si left, Ying Zheng sat on a chair, a contemplative look on his face.
Ever since he unified the six countries, he had been thinking of ways to make Great Qin stronger.
However, in the end, he was called a tyrant.
This made him feel extremely aggrieved.
Now that there was a drought in Pei County, the people heard rumors that he was the one who caused the drought.
If he didn't solve this problem, no matter how many good deeds he did, he wouldn't be able to change his Tyrant title.
While Ying Zheng was deep in thought, he did not see a figure walking into the room.
Seeing Ying Zheng's thoughtful expression, he pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said,""Your son greets Imperial Father."
Ying Zheng had been thinking about the drought.
Hearing the voice, he instantly woke up.
When his gaze landed on the figure, he stood up abruptly.
"Yun, is that you?"
Ying Yun was a little surprised to see Ying Zheng so surprised, but he still cupped his hands and said,""Father, it's your son."
Ying Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to size up Ying Yun. Seeing that he was fine, he asked,""Why are you only back now? Where have you been all this time? Do you know that Imperial Father has sent people everywhere to look for you?”
"Your son didn't know at first, but when he found out later, he rushed back.”
Ying Yun knew that Ying Zheng was in a terrible state because of the drought, so much so that he lost his composure when he saw him coming back.
Ying Zheng seemed to feel that he was too excited.
After calming down a little, he said,"It's good that you're back. Father has something to ask you."”
As he spoke, Ying Zheng sat back down on his chair.
"Is Imperial Father asking about the drought?" Ying Yun asked.”
Ying Zheng was startled. Then, he said," It seems that you have heard about it. That's right. It's about the drought. Up until now, all the officials in the court, including Prime Minister Li, have not found a solution. Do you have any solution?"”
Staring at Ying Yun, Ying Zheng revealed a look of anticipation.
Ying Yun said," What's so difficult about that? The reason why the drought appeared was because there was no rain. Since there was no rain, it would be fine to just pray for rain."”
"What did you say? Praying for rain?"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened.
In his opinion, praying for rain was the method of an immortal. Could Ying Yun know an immortal?
"That's right, it's praying for rain." Ying Yun said with a firm expression.
Seeing his serious face, Ying Zheng asked,""Then are you confident that you can beg for rain?"
Ying Yun replied," Of course I am confident. Father, you only need to give me three days and I will be able to rain heavily on Pei County."”
Seeing Ying Yun's confident face, Ying Zheng said excitedly,""Alright, then Imperial Father will wait for your good news.”
"If there's nothing else, your son will take his leave.”
" Wait!" Ying Zheng's expression froze." My father has another question for you."”
Ying Yun stopped, looked at Ying Zheng and said,""What does Imperial Father want to ask?"
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Ying Yun and asked,""The people of Great Qin say that Imperial Father is a tyrant. Do you think Imperial Father is a tyrant?”
Ying Yun was ranked first on the Strategy Board.
In other words, the other party was extremely intelligent.
Therefore, in Ying Zheng's eyes, Ying Yun could see through everything.
The commoners said that he was a tyrant, but he refused to accept it.
Therefore, he wanted to ask Ying Yun if he also thought he was a tyrant.
