"How can Father be a tyrant? Father's achievements are unparalleled and he is worthy of being called the Emperor of the ages.”
"What did you say? You said that Father is the greatest emperor in history?”
For some reason, Ying Zheng felt his blood boiling when he heard those four words.
After he unified the Six Nations, many people called him a tyrant, and this had become a thorn in his heart.
But now, Ying Yun actually said that he was the one emperor in history.
How could he not be excited!
"However, they all said that Great Qin's criminal law is harsh and taxes are heavy. Because of this, many people often come to assassinate Imperial Father.”
Ying Yun said," Great Qin has just unified the six countries. On the surface, it looks peaceful, but in reality, many of the descendants of the six countries have their own ulterior motives and are trying to rebel.”
"If the criminal law is not strict at this time, how can we deter these people?”
"As for the heavy taxes and corvee, other than the construction of the imperial mausoleum and other palaces, which is a waste of manpower and money, such as the construction of the Great Wall, it is all for the sake of the country's safety.”
"So your son believes that even if Imperial Father has made a mistake, it is only a small one. Moreover, people are not saints and sages.”
Ying Yun knew that if he kept praising Ying Zheng, the other party would not believe him.
Only when he said his merits and demerits together would the other party believe him.
Ying Zheng nodded after listening to Ying Yun's narration,""You're right. It's true that father's construction of the imperial mausoleum and palace is a waste of manpower and money, but father has created a great undertaking for thousands of years.”
"Moreover, you also said that people are not saints and sages. I am also a human, not a saint.”
Ying Yun said," That's why Imperial Father doesn't need to be conflicted. It doesn't matter what the commoners say. As long as Imperial Father doesn't feel guilty, it's fine."”
"A clear conscience, hahaha, well said, as expected of my son!”
Ying Zheng laughed loudly.
Ever since he had unified the six states, he had been frequently assassinated.
After years of accumulation, not only did he become suspicious, he was also used to being cold.
But Ying Yun's words earlier had untied the knot in his heart.
"I have you as my son, and I'm satisfied in this life!”
Ying Yun cupped his hands and said,"Imperial Father, if there's nothing else, then this subject will take his leave."”
"Alright." Ying Zheng nodded excitedly.
After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Ying Yun returned to Ganquan Palace.
Ying Yun saw Zhuge Liang sitting in the hall as soon as he entered.
"Advisor Jun, are you sure that Pei County will rain in three days?”
Xianyang was thousands of kilometers away from Pei County. Even if Zhuge Liang knew the weather and geography, Ying Yun did not believe that he could tell where it would rain in three days.
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and smiled confidently."Liang has already gone to investigate, so my lord need not worry.”
Ying Yun stared at him. Seeing Zhuge Liang's confident face, she said,"Alright, then we'll start casting spells to pray for rain in three days.”
Ying Yun had already come to see Zhuge Liang before he went to see Ying Zheng.
Because of this, he dared to say that he could pray for rain in front of Ying Zheng.
Not long after Ying Yun returned to Ganquan Palace, Zhao Gao and Huhai came to Zhangtai Palace dejectedly because they couldn't find Ying Yun, ready to beg for forgiveness from Ying Zheng.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Brother might already be dead. We still have no news of him.”
Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
Ying Yun had already come to look for him, but the two of them actually still didn't know.
Who was he looking for?
He even suspected that the two of them had never looked for Ying Yun.
Seeing Ying Zheng looking at them without saying anything, Huhai and Zhao Gao panicked.
In the end, Zhao Gao could no longer withstand the pressure and directly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, on account of the many years this old servant has served you, spare this old servant's life.”
Seeing Zhao Gao kneel down, Huhai couldn't take it anymore and knelt down as well.
"Imperial Father, I didn't want things to turn out like this. I beg Imperial Father to forgive me.”
"Get up!"
Ying Zheng said lightly.
Huhai and Zhao Gao looked at each other, not knowing what Ying Zheng meant.
Seeing that the two of them didn't dare to get up, Ying Zheng said,""Yun has already returned. On account of the fact that you've been searching for him these past few days, I won't pursue your responsibility.”
"However, if such a thing happens again, Zhen will definitely punish it severely.”
"Imperial Father, are you saying that Ying…Imperial Brother is back?”
Huhai looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.
They had been guarding the city gate, but they didn't even see Ying Yun's shadow, let alone Ying Yun's people.
" That's right," Ying Zheng said." He came to see me just now."”
"What?"
Huhai was stunned.
"Alright, you can leave now. In three days, Yun will be casting a spell to pray for rain.”
"Casting a spell to pray for rain?"
Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows. Although Ying Zheng was superstitious, he was not.
He had never believed that there were immortals in this world.
Therefore, they naturally did not believe that casting spells could make rain fall.
"Your Majesty, a drought is a natural disaster and cannot be changed by humans. Young Master Ying Yun used a spell to pray for rain.”
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed as he looked at Zhao Gao and said,""So, according to you, it's impossible for him to beg for rain?”
" I'm not sure." Zhao Gao was stunned." But many martial arts practitioners have used this method to pray for rain before, but none of them succeeded."”
Ying Zheng was startled. He had heard of praying for rain before, but he had never heard of anyone who could do it.
Therefore, when Ying Yun said that he wanted to cast a spell to pray for rain, he didn't believe it.
Seeing Ying Zheng remain silent, Huhai said," Father, casting a spell to pray for rain is the method of immortals. Although my brother is ranked first on the Intelligence Ranking, he is not an immortal.”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said,"Then how do you think the drought will be solved?”
"This…"
Facing Ying Zheng's question, Zhao Gao and Huhai did not know how to answer him.
"Hmph, since you have no way, then don't doubt other people's methods. Alright, you can leave!”
Ying Zheng waved his arm and ignored the two of them.
Seeing this, the two of them could only stand up and leave.
After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Huhai said angrily,""That damned Ying Yun, he didn't even tell us he was coming back, causing us to almost be punished.”
"He must have done it on purpose," Zhao Gao said with a gloomy face.”
"Teacher, do you think Yingyun can pray for rain?" Huhai asked Zhao Gao.”
"Praying for rain?" Zhao Gao sneered."Do you believe in such a ridiculous thing?"”
"Then you mean Ying Yun deliberately lied to Imperial Father?”
Zhao Gao said coldly," This old servant doesn't know what his intentions are either. But it doesn't matter. Since he wants to pray for rain, we'll let all the civil and military officials go and watch."”
"At that time, if he can't beg for rain, this old servant will join forces with all the officials to submit a memorial, asking His Majesty to punish him for deceiving the sovereign.”
"Alright, since he likes to play tricks, we'll punish him properly.”
In order to make Ying Zheng believe that he could pray for rain, Ying Yun followed Zhuge Liang's instructions and built a Seven Stars Altar in the center of Xianyang City.
It was the third day after the Seven Star Sanctum was repaired.
Many commoners came here to watch when they learned that Ying Yun was going to cast a spell to get rain.
Ying Zheng had even brought all the officials here, wanting to see with his own eyes whether Ying Yun could really pray for rain.
