"Yes, I am!"
"I have already ordered people to rush to East County and prepare to transport the meteorite back to Xianyang for Your Majesty to observe!”
The deputy in charge of offering sacrifices thought that Ying Zheng did not believe it, so he quickly said.
"Yes!"
Ying Zheng nodded, then turned to look at the deputy commander with a playful look." You said it's an ominous sign. Why is it ominous?”
"The meteorite came from the nine heavens, and there are words on it. This represents the will of the heavens!”
"This subject believes that this is a warning from the heavens to Great Qin. It's an ominous sign!”
Taibu Lingcheng cupped his hands, looking like he was worried about the country and the people.
He had wanted to say that the heavens were warning Great Qin that as long as they had a Crown Prince, Great Qin would be destroyed. As such, it was best to cripple the Crown Prince in order to protect Great Qin.
However, Ying Ziye was a great devil who killed without blinking. If he knew about it, the lives of his entire family would be in danger.
Therefore, he didn't explain it directly in the end. He just beat the drum and let the First Emperor understand it himself.
"A warning from the heavens?"
"In your opinion, what should I do?”
Ying Zheng continued to pretend to be confused and asked for Taibu's opinion.
"This…?"
Taibu Lingcheng was in a difficult position. If he said it directly, he would offend the Crown Prince. If he didn't say it, the Emperor would ask about him again.
In a dilemma, he could only look at Taizhu Lingcheng beside him.
The two of them were good friends and belonged to the two great salt merchant families.
Ever since the implementation of the tax reform decree and the extermination of the noble gentry and salt merchants, they hated the Crown Prince to the bone.
As long as there was a chance, they would not hesitate to pull the Crown Prince down.
For this reason, he even contacted the anti-Qin forces in River East and obtained Zhang Liang's plan in advance.
Therefore, as soon as the news of the meteorite falling from the sky spread, the two of them could not wait to enter the palace to meet Ying Zheng, and started to sow discord between Ying Zheng and the Ninth Prince.
He hoped to use the meteorite incident to get rid of the Crown Prince!
Once the Crown Prince was deposed, he would be stripped of his power!
At that time, he would become a rat crossing the street!
It would be much easier for those aristocrats to take revenge.
"I believe that Your Majesty should prioritize the country and comply with the will of the heavens by canceling the imperial edict to establish the Crown Prince!”
"That's right! "We can't go against the heavens 'will. Otherwise, if we anger the heavens' will, Great Qin's 100-year foundation will be destroyed!”
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
The two of them looked at each other and finally gritted their teeth. They directly proposed to abolish the Crown Prince.
The First Emperor had asked this question, and he didn't seem angry at all.
It meant that he had some faith in the so-called heaven's will.
At this moment, with their identities as the ones in charge of sacrifice and Yin and Yang divination, it was the perfect time to propose to comply with the will of heaven and abolish the Crown Prince!
"Humph!"
"I have to think twice!"
"I have to reflect on my past actions!”
"Men, take the two of them to the Crown Prince's residence and hand them over to the Crown Prince!”
"Also, give this secret letter to the Crown Prince!”
Ying Zheng stood up abruptly and shouted angrily.
If it was in the past, he might have believed the words of these two people, or he might have believed that there was heaven's will.
However, ever since he found out that the so-called immortal pill he ate was a poisonous pill, he no longer believed in immortality.
He did not believe in this so-called heaven's will anymore!
The reason why he didn't say anything after reading the secret letter was to see the reaction of the people around him.
He wanted to see who would sow discord between the father and son.
In the end, these two fellows took the initiative to come to their doorstep.
He did not doubt the Black Ice Platform's ability to gather information.
He believed that as soon as the meteorite rumor appeared in East County, they would immediately report it.
In other words, he was the first person in Xianyang to receive news from East County.
However, just as he received the news, these two people came.
She had received news from East County at the same time as him!
Obviously, these two had received the news in advance and were even colluding with the anti-Qin forces!
"Your Majesty, what crime have I committed?"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
When they heard that they were going to be escorted to the Crown Prince, the two of them immediately panicked.
The Emperor's attitude changed too quickly. There was no sign at all!
He turned hostile just like that!
With Ying Ziye's style of doing things, if they were taken to the Crown Prince's residence, they would be skinned alive!
"Deliberate rebellion!"
"To sow discord between Zhen and the Crown Prince!”
"Just based on these two points, zhen is enough to tear the two of you apart!”
"Pull him down!"
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeve and ordered the guards angrily.
"Here!"
The palace guards dragged the two of them away like dead dogs.
"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"I know I was wrong…!"
The two of them begged, but their voices became softer and softer. Soon, the imperial garden returned to its usual calm.
……
"You're a businessman. You've traveled extensively!”
"What do you think is the advantage of Great Qin's army over the Xiongnu army?”
"What are the disadvantages?"
In the Crown Prince's residence, Meng Yi and Purple Dress went to get busy, while Ying Ziye left Ba Qing behind.
He made a simple sand table based on the map of the future.
On the sand table was the deployment map of the Meng army and the approximate locations of the Xiongnu and Donghu forces.
This kind of thing seemed useless, but it was an essential treasure for commanding battles.
Therefore, he planned to promote it in the military in the future.
"I believe that Great Qin's advantage lies in morale and strategy!”
"The Meng army hasn't been paid for half a year, and they're even having difficulties with food supplies, yet they can still kill the Xiongnu until they're terrified.”
"From this, we can see that the morale is very high!”
"This disadvantage is the cavalry!"
"The reason why the Xiongnu keep invading our Great Qin border is because their army is made up of cavalry!”
"These Cavalrymen come and go like the wind. By the time Great Qin's army arrives, they would have already killed and looted and fled!”
"This is one of the reasons why His Majesty wants to build the Great Wall!”
"If our Great Qin wants to suppress the Xiongnu, we can only expand our cavalry and purchase a large number of warhorses!”
Ba Qing, who had always been cautious, expressed his opinion without reservation.
She felt that this Crown Prince was different from the First Emperor and the other ministers. When he killed people, he did not even blink.
He would exterminate people's families at the drop of a hat!
But sometimes, being with him made her feel very relaxed!
He would even say some teasing words that made people blush.
Therefore, she spoke her mind and expressed her thoughts.
"Good!"
"I didn't expect a mere businessman like you to know these things!”
"That's right!"
"Great Qin has too few Cavalrymen!”
Hearing her words, Ying Ziye nodded in agreement.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, His Majesty has ordered two people to be sent over!”
At this moment, a guard came in to report.
Outside the door, a group of palace guards escorted two officials over.
