"Chunyu Yue, Zhao Gao, I will give you a deadline of one million gold coins before nightfall!”
"If you lack one tael, this young master will hold you responsible!”
Unexpectedly, after the First Emperor left, Ying Ziye didn't make any grandiose opening remarks.
Instead, he directly demanded a gambling debt!
"Your Highness, this million taels of gold is not a small amount. It will be difficult for this lowly official to gather enough in a day!”
"I wonder if you can give me a few more days?"
Zhao Gao cupped his hands and smiled.
He had been disheartened just now, thinking that the position of Crown Prince was for this kid and that Huhai would never have a chance again.
But now that he thought about it, his mood immediately improved.
Since the First Emperor had sent this kid to collect taxes from the aristocrats, he would find a way to prevent this kid from collecting taxes.
As long as the mission failed, the First Emperor would doubt his ability.
At that time, it would be hard to say who would be able to sit on the position of Crown Prince!
If he was in front of the First Emperor, he wouldn't dare to act rashly. He wouldn't even dare to breathe loudly.
However, dealing with a young kid was much easier!
With his methods, he could easily play this kid to death!
"Ever since this old man became an official, I've always been clean. Forget about a million taels, even a thousand taels of gold wouldn't be enough!”
"I can only borrow from my fellow disciples. It will take seven or eight days before I can borrow anything!”
"Your Highness, please sympathize with me and give me a few more days!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chunyu Yue also spoke.
Although he cupped his hands in greeting, his expression was indifferent and there was not much respect in his eyes.
Obviously, he didn't put Ying Ziye in his eyes.
"Alright!"
"You can send it over anytime!”
Ying Ziye didn't seem to care about their difficulties and quickly agreed to their request.
Not only that, but the deadline was also canceled. He could send it over at any time.
"So easy to talk to?"
Chunyu Yue and Zhao Gao looked at each other in surprise.
Actually, they were all prepared to confront this kid in the imperial court.
Who would have thought that this kid would directly compromise!
"Meng Yi!"
Just as they were feeling suspicious, Ying Ziye suddenly stopped laughing and shouted with a cold and serious expression.
"I'm here!"
Meng Yi stood out from the ranks of the military officials and bowed to obey.
Although it was morning court, the emperor was absent and the prince was presiding.
Therefore, he changed the way he addressed himself from "minister" to "lowly official".
"Go forward and receive the sword!"
Ying Ziye stretched out his hand and handed over the Lulu sword." If they don't give us one tael before dark, their entire family will be executed…! Also, stay by my side in the future and listen to my orders!”
Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Zhang Han weren't among the officials who opposed the tax.
In addition, even though the Meng family supported Fu Su as the Crown Prince, they were loyal to Great Qin!
Therefore, Ying Ziye trusted him very much and directly handed the Lulu Sword to him!
"Yes, sir!"
Meng Yi was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed.
Zhao Gao was the sworn enemy of Meng tribe, and both of them wanted to kill each other.
Unfortunately, they were all favored ministers of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, and neither of them could kill the other!
Now, the opportunity had come. As long as Zhao Gao did not deliver the gold before nightfall, he would directly kill his way to the Zhao Manor!
Just now, when the First Emperor left, he gave the Ninth Young Master the right to act first before reporting.
If he obeyed the Ninth Young Master, it was equivalent to doing things according to the First Emperor's will!
That's right!
That's right, that's right!
"You…"
Seeing Ying Ziye use Meng Yi to deal with him, Zhao Gao's old face suddenly turned cold.
In the past, he had committed a crime in Xianyang City and was caught by Meng Yi. If not for the First Emperor's orders, he would have died long ago!
Later on, he targeted the Meng brothers in every way and wanted to kill them whenever he had the chance.
The Meng and Zhao families had long formed a great enmity!
If he couldn't pay off the debt before dark, he believed that Meng Yi would definitely kill his entire family.
However, despite his anger, he did not dare to flare up in court.
If Ying Ziye, this brat, seized the opportunity, then he would be finished!
"This Young Master's words hold nine tripods, and I keep my word!”
"You can send me a million gold taels anytime!”
"But the prerequisite is that you have to live past tonight!”
After handing the sword to Meng Yi, Ying Ziye looked at Zhao Gao and Chunyu Yue and sneered.
"This lowly official…will go and gather the gold!”
"I promise to deliver them to the treasury before nightfall!”
Zhao Gaowei cupped his hands and suppressed his anger.
"Yes!"
"Go!"
Ying Ziye waved at him.
"Yes, sir! I'll take my leave!"
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he pulled Chunyu Yue and left Xianyang Palace.
……
"Are you really going to do as that kid says?”
After walking out of the palace, Chunyu Yue flicked his sleeves and said with a livid face.
"That's right!"
"Now, let's talk about how we should split this one million gold taels.”
Zhao Gao once again returned to his usual sinister appearance. He placed his hands behind his back and spoke indifferently.
"You're afraid of him, but I'm not!”
"I want to give it to him eight days later!”
"Let's see what he can do to me. Humph!"
Chunyu Yue didn't answer. He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Although the First Emperor had given Ying Ziye the power to act first and report later, he was still an important official of the court, the representative of the Confucians in the court!
He didn't believe that the kid would dare to kill him!
"3rd day of the 6th month, the scholarly faction is harboring an anti-Qin criminal in the academy in Xianyang!”
"20th of July, your son will meet with the Xiang Clan in secret!”
"On the first day of this month, the anti-Qin leader wrote a letter to your son.”
"The letter said…"
Zhao Gao didn't chase after him shamelessly. Instead, he started talking to himself as if he was reciting scriptures.
Hearing what he said, Chunyu Yue suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and grabbed Zhao Gao's collar." You're spying on me?”
"You must know that His Majesty has the Black Ice Platform, and I have a net!”
"If you don't want your son to die, gather a million gold coins before nightfall!”
"Otherwise, if something happens to me, your son and the scholarly faction will also go to hell!”
"Humph!"
Zhao Gao sneered and left the palace.
"You bastard, you don't even want to take a single tael?”
Behind him, Chunyu Yue flew into a rage.
