The originally restless crowd quieted down after hearing the Sixth Prince's order.
Even some of the people who he had originally planned to run away were now standing obediently on the spot.
They did not know what the Sixth Prince had done.
However, outside Xianyang City, everyone knew about the scene of tens of thousands of people waiting to be executed.
This Sixth Prince was definitely a god of death.
These commoners did not even dare to disobey the soldiers, let alone the prince's orders.
"This Sixth Young Master is too much! He actually pulled salt on the streets and forced people to buy it. Is there any justice in this?"
"You'd better keep your voice down. If they hear you, you'll be in big trouble!”
"Sigh, this world is getting more and more strange!”
"No, what are those people doing?”
"Why are you following the carriage? Could it be that he didn't even give the salt after giving the money?”
"This... Sigh, forget it. Accept your fate!"
...
Ying Zheng listened to the conversations of the commoners, and the expression on his face darkened.
What exactly was this Ying Zi Xuan trying to do?
How could he corrupt the emperor like this? The reputation of the family.
But that shouldn't be the case.
Based on what he had done during this period of time, this kid shouldn't be so muddleheaded!
Just as Ying Zheng was still pondering what exactly Ying Zixuan was up to…
out. The carriage selling salt had finally arrived in front of them.
At this moment, the people around them finally heard what the people behind the carriage were arguing about.
"General, sell us some more! I'll just buy one tael, just one tael is good!”
"Fellow villagers, the Sixth Young Master is a good person!”
"Yes, yes! This salt could be bought for less than a penny. The Sixth Young Master forced us to buy it because he was afraid that we wouldn't believe it!”
"General, can I buy some for my neighbor?”
"I've never seen such good salt in my life! And he bought it so cheaply. If it wasn't for General forcing me to buy some, I wouldn't have believed it!”
"These generals are all good people!"
...
On the carriage, the soldier in black armor looked at the increasing number of people following behind the carriage. He helplessly picked up a copper gong and struck it heavily.
Then, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Stop following me! These salt will be available in the future. The sixth young master is preparing to make salt. The quality and price of the salt in the salt store. Ge Du was the same as today. We're just here to tell you the news. So, don't follow me. In three days at most, the salt store will open. Everyone who bought the salt can leave!”
After the black-armored soldier finished speaking, he realized that the number of people following behind the carriage still did not show any signs of decreasing.
However, those who had already bought salt slowed down their pace.
He couldn't help but open up some space for those who hadn't bought salt yet.
Seeing this, the soldiers heaved a sigh of relief.
On their way here, General Xia Hou had already told them about it solemnly.
This time, they represented the face of the Sixth Young Master.
They couldn't be violent with the people. At the same time, they had to maintain order. They couldn't let anyone trample on them.
Now, after these commoners bought the salt, they all followed behind the car to watch the show.
They couldn't shout or scold, nor could they fight. Human.
He was really worried that something would go wrong.
"Come, from you to that girl over there. Line up and come over.”
On the carriage, a soldier pointed at the people below with his hoarse voice.
Then, the soldiers on both sides began to prepare.
However, what they did not know was…
Among the group of people they had selected.
They all had great backgrounds.
"Your Majesty, there's a mix of good and bad people over there. Why don't you not go over?”
Meng Tian, who was disguised, looked at the eager Qin Shi Huang. At this moment, he could not care less about the difference between monarch and minister.
He hurriedly reached out his hand and pulled Ying Zheng, who was about to go over and line up.
His eyes were filled with worry.
"What are you afraid of? No one knows me, aren't you still here?”
At this moment, Ying Zheng's temper had also risen, so why would he care about these things?
After shaking off Meng Tian's hand, he followed the crowd towards the carriage.
"Hurry up and follow."
Meng Tian looked at Ying Zheng, who was walking towards the carriage, and could only brace herself and follow him.
For the sake of his majesty's safety, he couldn't care about anything else.
He directly gestured for a few of his subordinates to walk in front of Ying Zheng, and forcefully inserted them into his body.
Zhang Han and him followed behind Emperor Shi Huang.
Ying Zheng did not say anything about this.
After waiting for a while, it was finally his turn.
"Hello, this is your share. It's a total of two dollars!”
The soldier who was in charge of paying the bill on the carriage barely spared Ying Zheng a second glance.
He merely picked up a piece of paper with measured movements, then poured the salt from the measuring ruler onto the paper, wrapped it up, and handed it to Ying Zheng.
During this period, although his attitude was not very good, it was definitely not bad.
"Little brother, why is your salt so cheap?”
"Also, was your method of forcing people to buy and sell also proposed by the Sixth Young Master?”
"Isn't he afraid of being reported to His Majesty?”
...
After Ying Zheng received the paper package from the soldier, he did not leave.
Instead, he stood where he was and asked.
And after hearing Ying Zheng's question, the face of the soldier who was in charge of buying salt immediately turned a little ugly.
However, after seeing that Ying Zheng was dressed in an extraordinary manner, he suppressed the displeasure in his heart.
However, his tone was slightly different this time.
"Sir, judging from your attire, you must be a wealthy person. I can't afford to offend you."
"However, although Young Master Xuan is forcefully buying and selling, our original intention is to let the people know about the emperor as soon as possible. It was cheap and high-quality salt prepared by the family for the commoners.”
"You might not think much of it, but for the poor, this kind of cheap and good salt, the earlier they go out, the more money they might save. His days would only be a little better.”
"A wealthy person like you naturally won't understand the lives of the poor.”
"So, if you have any questions or dissatisfaction, please don't make things difficult for us.”
"Next."
...
After hearing the words of this black-armored soldier, Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.
He, the dignified Emperor of Great Qin, was actually being taught a lesson by a soldier under him!
Meanwhile, Meng Tian, Zhang Han, and the others who were following behind Ying Zheng were also frowning.
This kid was too blind.
How dare he be so disrespectful to His Majesty.
They wanted to say something, but were stopped by Ying Zheng's eyes.
Meng Tian took out some money from her pocket and threw it to him.
The group followed Ying Zheng's footsteps and left the crowd.
Ying Zheng looked at the small bag of salt in his hand.
However, he did not feel angry at all because he had been offended by a small soldier just now.
In his heart, he felt very happy.
"Your Majesty, that guy just now didn't know your identity. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't dare to say such treasonous words.”
At this moment, Meng Tian came to Ying Zheng's side in a panic. He was afraid that the soldier had accidentally angered His Majesty.
That would be a massacre.
"Alright, am I that petty? Moreover, I also feel that what he said makes sense. He had lived a wealthy life for too long. Sometimes, he would forget what the commoners needed.”
As Ying Zheng spoke, he did not throw away the salt in his hand, but carefully put it into his bosom.
"Let's go back and see how that kid's school is doing.”
After doing all of this, Ying Zheng looked at the towering place in the distance with a smile on his face.
Behind them were the black-armored soldiers and the citizens who were still selling their goods by force.
This was because such a scene was rarely seen in a hundred years.
Therefore, it spread throughout Xianyang City in just a few hours.
However, at this moment, people of different levels paid attention to different topics.
Inside the Imperial Palace, when Ying Zi Xuan saw Xia Houying pulling the carriages of money into the Imperial Palace, he basically didn't even look at it, directly sending it into the national treasury.
He didn't need money for the time being.
Moreover, this batch of money was obtained from the commoners. He could not misappropriate it.
"How's the response from the people?"
Ying Zi Xuan looked out the window at the sun that had already begun to set in the west, and his gaze couldn't help but fall onto the paper in front of him.
In front of him, Cao Can held an account book and looked at him with a smile.
"Your Highness, in the beginning, most people were very resistant to the act of forcing people to buy and sell. However, after buying our salt, they basically don't have any complaints. In addition to the soldiers 'explanation, 99% of the people were now deeply grateful to His Highness.”
After Cao Can finished speaking, Ying Zi Xuan's expression became somewhat ugly.
"Grateful to me? Why are they so grateful to me?”
Cao Can, who was originally still smiling, saw Ying Zi Xuan's expression suddenly change, and a trace of a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"What did the soldiers say? Who told them to say that?"
After Ying Zi Xuan saw the thing in his hand put down, he raised his head to look at Cao Can.
His gaze was extremely cold.
And at this time, Cao Can actually felt a dense killing intent from Ying Zi Xuan's body.
He was so frightened that he was instantly stunned.
Facing Ying Zi Xuan who was almost half his age, fear actually rose in his heart.
"Your Highness, it's like this. When the soldiers are asked, they will say that it was Young Master Xuan who arranged for the forced purchase of salt. When the family was about to open a new salt store, the commoners were..."
Cao Can hadn't even finished speaking when he was already interrupted by Ying Zi Xuan.
"Who told them to say that?"
Ying Zi Xuan's expression was currently very ugly.
Every time someone asked a question, he said that it was arranged by him?
He had never made such an arrangement. Moreover, his original words were that if anyone asked, he would say that it was arranged by the Imperial Court.
Emperor. The family's decision.
Why did it change after it was passed down?
"Your Highness... It was... It was Prime Minister Li Si who asked him to say that. He said that this would do…"
"This can raise my reputation among the people and help me fight for the position of Crown Prince in the future, right? My Imperial Father is still young and prosperous, yet someone has already started to have evil thoughts? Since you knew about this, why didn't you tell me?”
"This humble servant deserves to die. I hope the palace will punish me!”
...
This was the first time Cao Can had seen Ying Zi Xuan so angry.
At this moment, he also knew that he had done something bad out of kindness.
He kept cursing himself for being stupid and getting carried away.
She actually believed Li Si's nonsense.
"Ask Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang to come see me.”
"Yes!"
"You come with us."
"Nuo..."
When he walked out of Ying Zi Xuan's bedchamber, Cao Can's back was already drenched.
He could clearly feel Ying Zi Xuan's almost tangible killing intent just now.
He had really gotten into big trouble this time!
...
In Xiao He's residence, Xiao He, who was busy, was hurriedly pulled into a carriage by Cao Can.
When he got on the carriage, he found that Han Xin and Zhang Liang had already sat down.
At this moment, their brows were furrowed very closely.
It was as if he had encountered a difficult problem.
As for Cao Can, his face was pale.
It was as if he had just been fished out of the water.
He was sweating profusely.
"What's wrong with you guys? Did His Highness give you a difficult problem again?”
After Xiao He sat down, he looked at the three people with worried faces and asked with some doubt.
"It's not that Your Highness is giving us a difficult problem. It was because we were careless and messed up.”
Han Xin was already lacking in dealing with human relationships. Fall.
At this moment, he was even more confused about Cao Can's question.
Zhang Liang glanced at Cao Can but didn't say anything.
Firstly, they weren't very familiar with each other.
Secondly, he hadn't thought of any good ideas yet.
Xiao He turned to look at him when he saw the two of them looking at Cao Can.
"What exactly happened? What did you mess up?"
Facing Xiao He's question, Cao Can, whose mind was in a mess, seemed to have grabbed onto his last life-saving straw.
She hurriedly grabbed Xiao He's hand.
"Big Brother Xiao, I... I was tricked by Li Si. It's about today's matter. Before I left to make arrangements for Xia Houying and the others, he told me…"
Cao Can told Xiao He what Li Si had told him.
And Xiao He heard Li Si instigating Cao Can to have Xia Houying lead the soldiers to twist Ying Zixuan's words a little.
It should have been the emperor. The part of the family was all taken over by Ying Zi Xuan.
Helping Ying Zi Xuan gain fame among the people, earning fame.
Xiao He frowned.
"Are you stupid? You're really muddle-headed. How can you do such a thing?”
After Xiao He heard Cao Can's story, he really wanted to slap him on the spot and wake him up.
"To tamper with His Highness's intentions, you... You can actually do it."
After Xiao He took a deep breath, his brows furrowed together like Han Xin and Zhang Liang.
"Brother Xiao, I was too rash and actually believed Li Si's nonsense! I really know my mistake. Please help me think of a way.”
Cao Can knew that he was wrong.
However, what was the use of knowing now?
This matter had already happened.
"As I said last time, Your Highness, as the Young Master of the Country, shouldn't be too close to the Eldest Young Master. The reason for this was that the closer they got to each other, the more serious the consequences would be if they were provoked. And now, you're the one who sowed discord.”
Zhang Liang's voice rang out from the side as Cao Canhuang was about to make his move.
If this matter was not serious, it was really not a big deal.
However, if it was serious, then it was definitely not a small matter.
"I... I really didn't think so much at that time.”
At this moment, Cao Can already knew the seriousness of the problem.
However, he was originally just a small official at the border. After coming to Xianyang, it could be said that his journey was smooth sailing.
It was inevitable that he was a little arrogant.
And this arrogance caused a big problem.
"Alright, it's useless for you to be anxious now. Just wait for His Highness to decide.”
After Xiao He sighed, he closed his eyes and pondered.
This was supposed to be a great job, but because of such a small accident.
In the end, he screwed up.
The carriage swayed and finally stopped.
At this moment, the sky outside had already darkened.
Under the escort of the eunuch, the four silently walked towards Ying Zi Xuan's chambers.
"I, Xiao He, pay my respects to Young Master Xuan.”
"Sit down."
As soon as Xiao He and the others entered the hall, Ying Zi Xuan had people bring over cushions.
Xiao He and the others looked at each other and sat down.
Only Cao Can remained standing.
"Your Highness, I, Cao Can, pay my respects to Your Highness.”
Cao Can had also thought things through along the way.
He was really careless this time, but at the same time, it also indirectly showed that there was a problem with his mentality.
Self-righteous, this was a great taboo for a strategist.
And now, the only thing he could hope for was that Ying Zixuan would forgive him.
Otherwise, he could only die to atone for his sins.
Therefore, Cao Can immediately knelt on the ground after Xiao He and the others sat down.
"Do you know what you did wrong?”
Regarding Cao Can's actions, Ying Zi Xuan did not stop him.
Because he needed to take this as a taboo.
"As a minister, you dare to guess Your Highness's intentions. This is the first reason."
"It is disrespectful to change Your Highness's intentions. This is the second reason."
"Listening to others 'slanderous words and indirectly sowing discord between His Highness and the Eldest Young Master, this is the third.”
"Entrapping Young Master and the Land of Injustice, this is the fourth…"
"This subject's crime is unforgivable. But I have no second thoughts about Your Highness!”
...
Cao Can listed out the crimes he believed he had committed.
But in the end, he did not beg for mercy.
Because he didn't want to beg.
He had done something wrong, so he had to pay the price.
If His Highness had been merciful, he might have been able to spare his life.
That was kindness.
If not, then he, Cao Can, deserved it.
After Ying Zi Xuan heard Cao Can's self-narration, his expression still didn't improve in the slightest.
Instead, it became even uglier.
"You still haven't figured out what you did wrong!”
"What you said above is a small matter to me. Your real problem is that you are loyal to the wrong person.”
Ying Zi Xuan looked at Cao Can who still didn't understand where he had gone wrong.
He felt somewhat disappointed.
"I recruited you into Great Qin's Imperial Court not to make you swear loyalty to me, but to make you swear loyalty to Great Qin.”
"If you had placed Great Qin's safety and Great Qin's people as your top priority, would you still have done this?”
"Will you still be persuaded by Li Si?"
"Would you still do such a stupid thing?”
Ying Zi Xuan's voice grew louder and louder.
At the last moment, he even slapped the table.
The loud sound made everyone present jump in fright.
At the same time, he was also deeply aware of how exuberant Ying Zi Xuan's anger was right now.
"Your Highness, Cao Can is still young and has just arrived. It is inevitable that he will be frivolous. I hope Your Highness will give me a chance. I think he will remember this lesson.”
Xiao He saw that Ying Zi Xuan's anger had also been vented, and after he had said what he needed to say, he hurriedly stood up to plead on behalf of Cao Can.
At the same time, it also gave Ying Zi Xuan a way out.
If Ying Zi Xuan only wanted to give Cao Can a beating, then this matter would just pass like this.
"Your Highness, I hope Your Highness can give me another chance for Cao Can's crime. I will not make the same mistake again.”
Cao Can was not stupid.
He finally knew where he had gone wrong.
In his heart, he had always been loyal to Ying Zixuan and not Great Qin.
That was why he was so confused by Li Si's words about how it would benefit Young Master Xuan's future.
He had subconsciously forgotten that the conflict between the princes was the most serious problem that could shake a country.
Especially since Fu Su was the Eldest Young Master and Ying Zi Xuan was the Second Young Master.
"Your Highness, Cao Can knows his mistake now. From the looks of it, he would not make such a mistake again in the future. Your Highness, just look at the usual. He had worked hard, so he should give him another chance.”
Although Han Xin was lacking in the ways of the world.
However, at this time, he would not just stand by and watch.
It was also after Xiao He that he stood up to plead for Cao Can.
Zhang Liang, who was sitting at the back, hesitated for a moment before standing up.
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be said to be completely fruitless. At least we discovered the problem early. Your Highness, please give him another chance.”
Ying Zi Xuan looked at Cao Can who was kneeling on the ground. He also knew that it was enough.
The main responsibility for this matter was not his.
Moreover, Cao Can was indeed capable and meticulous.
"Alright, get up and take a seat. However, the death penalty could be avoided, but the crime could not escape. You can take over the salt business in Han Xin's place. Remember, if anything goes wrong again, you can hand in your resignation yourself.”
When Cao Can heard that Ying Zi Xuan had forgiven him and still didn't have any intention of distancing himself from him.
He hurriedly kowtowed heavily.
"Thank you for your tolerance, Your Highness. I will definitely take Qin as my foundation and my home. I will definitely not do such foolish things again.”
"Alright, sit down."
After Cao Can sat down, Ying Zi Xuan waved his hand at Zhu Long, who was guarding him at the side.
After that, Zhulong asked someone to carry a pile of bamboo slips over.
Even though Pulp Paper had already begun to take action in both the imperial palace and the Mo family.
However, the current stock was only enough for Xianyang City.
And these memorials had just been sent over from all over the world today.
"Now, help me deal with these memorials. Let's talk as we deal with it."
As Ying Zi Xuan spoke, he picked up a bamboo scroll.
However, as soon as he opened it, it crumpled.
"Nine Plains and Yunzhong counties have discovered traces of Hu cavalry squads many times in recent days! It seems to be an enemy scout team."
When Ying Zi Xuan read out the contents of the memorial, Han Xin's eyes immediately narrowed.
Traces of Hu troops had been discovered in the border counties, and this was not a good sign.
Although he wasn't very good at the ways of the world, his sense of war was extremely sharp.
"Your Highness, we must not take this matter lightly.”
Even though the Nine Plains and Yunzhong were the borders of Great Qin's north, they were still far away.
Discovering Hu scouts in this place was nothing to be surprised about.
However, given the current situation, it would not be so simple.
"Your Highness, I agree with General Han Xin's opinion. It was already the end of spring. In the north, the snow in the Hu territory had already melted, and after a long winter, the cattle and sheep of the barbarian tribes were almost depleted.”
After hearing Han Xin speak, Zhang Liang also expressed his opinion.
"Now that their scouts have appeared at Great Qin's borders, we can't rule out the possibility that their tribes are lacking food.”
Zhang Liang's meaning was already very obvious.
The Hu might attack the border.
This was what the Hu people meant by cutting grass.
To put it bluntly, they would suddenly launch an attack and then loot the border area.
These Hu were all light cavalry, and they came and went very quickly.
If the other side suddenly attacked, Great Qin would not be able to defend effectively.
By the time reinforcements arrived, the villages or regions that were attacked by them would already be littered with corpses.
"This matter is indeed worth paying attention to. Tomorrow in the court, he would bring this up to deal with.”
After listening to Zhang Liang and Han Xin's reminder, Ying Zi Xuan, who originally didn't plan to ignore it, now turned this into the main point.
At the same time, he began to think about how to deal with these barbarians.
After putting the bamboo slip aside, Xiao He suddenly handed over a memorial.
"Your Highness, take a look at this."
Ying Zi Xuan looked at the bamboo scroll that Xiao He handed over, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Was there something that Xiao He couldn't make up his mind?
Ying Zi Xuan knew about handling internal affairs.
Even the two of them combined were not as powerful as Xiao He.
However, since Xiao He had handed it over, he naturally had to check it out.
After opening the bamboo scroll, the first word Ying Zi Xuan saw was actually famine.
Looking down, he saw refugees.
"Isn't Pengzhong County the upper reaches of the Yangtze River? The land was fertile and wide, and it was a land with extremely high grain production! Last year, Pengzhong didn't suffer any major disasters, so why would there be a famine?”
"Your Highness, sometimes, famine is not necessarily caused by natural disasters. It may also be caused by the poverty of the people.”
Xiao He's words caused Ying Zi Xuan's movements to freeze.
But then, he realized what he was trying to say.
A smile gradually appeared on his face.
However, that smile looked exceptionally terrifying.
While they were still marking the memorial, outside Ying Zi Xuan's palace, an Embroidered Uniform Guard silently walked in.
Then, he handed an envelope to Zhulong and left silently.
Seeing this, Xiao He and the others silently stopped what they were doing.
After Zhulong checked that there were no problems, he then handed the envelope over to Ying Zi Xuan.
"Imperial Father has changed his route again. This time, he is actually rushing towards Xianyang! Inform the officials to meet him outside Xianyang City tomorrow.”
After Ying Zi Xuan saw the news sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he was somewhat puzzled in his heart.
What was his father doing?
A patrol, changing its route again and again.
This time, they even rushed back to Xianyang.
Could it be…
Was he coming back to deal with her?
The moment Ying Zi Xuan thought of this possibility, he immediately felt his back go numb.
However, on second thought, he did not seem to have done anything too out of line.
"Let's call it a day. Go back and prepare. Tomorrow is a big day!”
"Yes."
When Xiao He and the others left the Imperial Palace, the moon was already hanging high in the sky.
After they left the palace, they looked at each other.
They saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.
The First Emperor was about to return.
It was time to decide whether they would stay or leave.
Meanwhile, a team was rushing to Xianyang City overnight.
The black Black Bird Royal Flag was announcing the identity of the person.
However, in the Emperor Carriage, only Dunruo was trembling.
"Your Majesty, why haven't you come back yet? I'm about to reach Xianyang City. If those officials know that I'm the only one in the car, they'll eat me up!”
At this moment, Dun Ruo could be said to be panicking.
He could even imagine the scene after the convoy arrived at Xianyang.
All the officials knelt and bowed.
In the end, he was the only one who got out of the car.
His Majesty was lost!
Good heavens, then he would probably be eaten by the officials before he could even explain!
While Dun Ruo was still in his own fantasy, he was trembling in fear.
There was a commotion outside the carriage.
Dun Ruo hurriedly opened the carriage window and looked outside.
In the distance, a pair of Black Knights were rushing over.
The guards at the front had already begun to arrange themselves into battle formations. All their bows and crossbows were ready to go.
Because the sky was dark, the other party did not rush over directly. Instead, after stopping in the distance, a lone rider slowly approached them.
"General Wang Ben! His Majesty has returned!"
After Dun Ruo got off the carriage, he went straight to the front. When he saw the person who came, he was instantly overjoyed.
"Dismiss the alert."
...
When Dun Ruo saw the Emperor slowly approaching on his tall horse, he couldn't be happier.
"Nudunruo welcomes Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your hard work."
Ying Zheng took a look at Dun Ruo, then got into his carriage.
Dun Ruo was very observant as he called a few accompanying maids into the carriage to serve Emperor Shi Huang. Clothes.
Meanwhile, Wang Ben and the others were waiting outside with no expression on their faces.
During this period of time, they had enough of being on tenterhooks.
However, now that His Majesty was about to return to Xianyang, they became even more worried.
After all, a lot of things seemed to have happened during this period of time.
When His Majesty returns to Xianyang, I'm afraid another storm will come!
"Pass down the order. We will arrive at Xianyang tomorrow morning.”
After waiting for a while, Ying Zheng's majestic voice came out from the carriage.
Wang Ben immediately left upon hearing the order.
Only then did the mighty convoy slowly start moving again.
I. The night passed quickly.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the ground the next morning.
Outside Xianyang City, it was already filled with people.
Great Qin's elite soldiers lined up for nearly a kilometer.
And at the end of the line, Ying Zi Xuan, dressed in formal attire, stood at the very front.
Young Master Fusu stood beside him.
On both sides, officials stood horizontally.
These people were already waiting again before dawn.
They waited for more than an hour.
But at this moment, no one showed any impatience on their faces.
There was only silence and solemnity.
"Young Master Fusu, Young Master Xuan. His Majesty's carriage has arrived!"
Following the report of the scouts, a black force gradually appeared in the distance.
As time passed, the emperor's carriage finally arrived.
"Your son, Ying Zixuan, will lead all the officials to welcome Imperial Father!”
Ying Zi Xuan looked at his Imperial Father's carriage that was already within reach, and his face still had a smile that was like the sun.
He bowed in the direction of the carriage.
Behind him, the officials and Great Qin's soldiers all knelt on one knee, and a kilometer long line of black soldiers welcomed him.
"We welcome Your Majesty!"
They shouted in unison, shaking the world.
The elite soldiers who were arranged to welcome the First Emperor were all excited and excited.
"Dear ministers, you have worked hard.”
Hearing the earth-shaking welcoming voices from outside, Ying Zheng, who was wearing a black robe with the pattern of a black bird, slowly walked out of the carriage.
The Noble Sword Tianming at his waist swayed as he walked.
After looking around, a voice filled with supreme majesty sounded.
Although his voice wasn't loud, it sounded like a dragon's roar.
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, then at Ying Zixuan and the Fusu brothers who were standing at the forefront.
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the carriage.
However, his accompanying eunuch, Dunruo, soon arrived in front of the two young masters.
"Young Masters, His Majesty invites you!"
After Fu Su and Ying Zi Xuan exchanged a glance, they nodded and then followed Dun Ruo towards the Emperor Shi Huang's carriage.
Meanwhile, Dun Ruo got off the carriage.
Then, he shouted with his sharp voice.
"His Majesty has decreed! The officials will return to Xianyang. Summon the officials to Zhangtai Palace for a meeting!"
"Yes!"
...
Fu Su and Ying Zi Xuan, who got on the carriage, were like children who had done something wrong.
The two of them sat face to face.
However, it was as if they had made an agreement. They lowered their heads and did not speak.
He stared at his hand, not daring to look around.
His body was swaying along with the carriage.
Seated on the main seat, Ying Zheng looked at the two brothers who pretended to be mute the moment they got on the carriage. Although his face was expressionless, he was already smiling bitterly in his heart.
"What's wrong? You haven't seen me for a long time. Don't you have anything to say to me?”
After hearing his Imperial Father take the initiative to speak, Fu Su raised his head slightly to look at Ying Zixuan.
During this period of time, he seemed to have gotten used to having his sixth brother as his backbone.
If she couldn't make a decision, she would see what he would do first.
And it was this subconscious action of his that caused Ying Zheng's expression to change slightly.
"Xuan 'er, tell me, if someone speaks ill of you behind your back, what will you do?”
Ying Zi Xuan, who had originally intended to feign ignorance, after being suddenly asked, his expression changed slightly.
What would he do if someone spoke ill of him behind his back?
The meaning of these words was not simple.
What Ying Zi Xuan had done during this period of time, he was the clearest in his heart.
He had basically done everything he could to offend people.
However, the problem now was that his father had said something bad about him.
Which one was he referring to?
Or was his father trying to trick him?
'At this time, I absolutely can't ask who said it. Otherwise, it's no different from confessing without a fight.'
After Ying Zi Xuan slightly calculated for a moment.
He raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng with a serious face.
"Imperial Father, if someone were to speak ill of your son behind my back, then your son must not have done well enough. Your son will definitely reflect on himself."
Humility, he had to be humble at this time.
And after Fu Su heard Ying Zi Xuan's return, he just silently lowered his head.
He had a look as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Ying Zheng seemed to be dissatisfied with Ying Zixuan's attitude.
The gaze he used to look at Ying Zi Xuan became slightly cold and stern.
"What's wrong? Even if I have returned, you don't plan to explain to me?”
"Uh..."
Ying Zixuan looked at Ying Zheng, who seemed to be about to fly into a rage, and his heart thumped.
"Father, during the period of governing the country, I killed the rebellious minister Zhao Gao and eliminated his henchmen. Then, I recruited a group of capable people. He also proposed a few decrees, but they were still pending and had not been directly implemented.”
"I support and rope in the Mohist school of thought, and I'm currently trying to establish a school. Your son has two top-notch technologies, printing and paper making, which can allow knowledge to spread even more easily and quickly, allowing Great Qin to discover even more talents.”
"And recently, your son discovered a method that can turn poisonous mineral salt into edible, and its price…They were currently planning to make the sale of salt directly private to the imperial court to control the price of salt and make it easier for the people to live.”
"Imperial Father, these are almost all the things I did during my reign. Imperial Father, which one do you want your son to explain?”
...
Ying Zixuan looked at Ying Zheng's cold eyes, gritted his teeth, and stopped pretending to be stupid.
Anyway, he had already done what he had to do.
If his father really wanted to teach him a lesson, then it was useless for him to act dumb.
"Is that all?"
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Zixuan, who had finished talking about a whole bunch of things in one breath, and was secretly surprised.
This kid had actually done so much in less than a month!
However, apart from being surprised, he was more gratified.
He was not a fatuous lord.
A king who could end hundreds of years of slavery and create an unprecedented feudal system.
His vision and foresight were definitely incomparable to ordinary people.
"Uh... There have been too many things recently. This is all I can remember.”
To be honest, Ying Zi Xuan really couldn't remember what else he had done.
"You don't remember? Then let me remind you. I once ordered you not to meddle in the matters of the officials, but you turned a deaf ear and arranged for Xiao He, Han Xin, and the others to enter the court.”
"In the imperial court, fight. He was defeated by Feng Quji, the left prime minister. In secret, in order to raise money to build the academy, you schemed against nearly 90% of the salt sellers in Xianyang."
"He killed the nobles of the Six Nations who were detained in Xianyang and then sent people to capture another batch.”
"The traitor Zhang Liang who attempted to assassinate me has now become your strategist.”
"In private, you even gave the jade pendant that Zhen gave you to your sweetheart.”
...
Ying Zheng said unhurriedly.
And Ying Zi Xuan had also been listening attentively the entire time.
However, when he heard the last message, he was stunned.
"Imperial Father, I admit everything I said before, but the last one is not true! When did I give a jade pendant to my sweetheart…Imperial Father, have you met Wang Anruo?"
"You…Did you return to Xianyang early in the morning?”
There were only a few people in Xianyang City whom he had given gifts to.
The tea leaves were given to Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Xiao He and the others.
Other than tea leaves, he had only given Wang Anruo a jade pendant as a greeting gift.
Not many people knew about this.
Why did Ying Zheng even know about this?
Thinking about it again, his father's convoy had changed its route again and again.
A bold idea suddenly appeared in Ying Zi Xuan's mind.
Patrol in civilian clothes!
Good heavens, you really know how to play! "What's wrong? Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?”
Ying Zheng did not feel embarrassed at all. He was the emperor after all, so why should he explain what he had done to others?
"Uh... That was not the case. However, Imperial Father, regarding that jade pendant, actually…"
"You don't have to explain anything to Zhen. You have indeed reached the point where you should get married and have children. However, I will not make a decision for you and the Wang family's girl. After all, General Wang Jian has a special status in Great Qin, and We will not force him to do anything. Don't expect Zhen to help you."
When Ying Zheng heard Ying Zixuan mention this, he thought that this kid was trying to take the opportunity to ask him to bestow him a marriage.
Hence, he directly opened his mouth to interrupt Ying Zi Xuan's words.
With Wang Jian's status, he was not suitable to forcefully bestow a marriage.
But what Ying Zixuan wanted to say was that this was a misunderstanding.
What are you imagining?
