"Your Highness, these two people are Taizhu and Taibu respectively!”
"They spread rumors to confuse the public and used the so-called heaven's will to bewitch His Majesty to abolish the Crown Prince.”
"His Majesty has decreed that these two people are plotting a rebellion and that His Highness has full authority to deal with them!”
The leader of the palace guards cupped his hands and explained his intentions.
"Oh right, this is the urgent report from River East that the Black Ice Platform just sent!”
He seemed to have thought of something and quickly took out another secret letter.
"Oh…?"
Ying Ziye was confused. He took the secret letter, opened it, and read it. Only then did he understand what was going on.
"The crown prince is appointed, and the violent Qin Dynasty is destroyed!"
"Meteorite!"
He couldn't help but laugh in anger.
In history, there was indeed a record of meteorites falling from the sky and engraved with the words " The First Emperor died and the land was divided."
At that time, Ying Zheng had sent the censor to investigate the surroundings of the meteorite, but everyone said that they did not know anything.
In the end, the First Emperor killed everyone near the meteorite in a fit of anger!
Unexpectedly, after he transmigrated, the direction of history had changed.
'The First Emperor died and the land was divided' was changed to 'Crown Prince ascended, Violent Qin perished!”
This was clearly done by someone to spread rumors that Great Qin was about to be destroyed!
"Drag them out and kill them!"
"Kill the entire family!"
"Order the officials to investigate the truth within ten days and find the mastermind!”
"If we can't find anything, all the officials will be exterminated!”
After reading the secret letter, Ying Ziye opened his mouth faintly.
Although his tone was calm, it made everyone's hair stand on end.
Those who didn't understand would think that these crown princes were joking!
However, those who knew the inside story knew that if they didn't get to the bottom of this matter, the heads of all the civil and military officials would be lost!
"Yes, sir!"
The messenger did not dare to be negligent. After receiving the order, he rode a fast horse and headed to the government office.
……
"Where are the Prime Ministers?"
"Where is the Imperial Censor?"
"The Crown Prince has ordered it!"
"Quickly come out and receive the order!"
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he had already arrived at the office of the three officials. Left Prime Minister Li Si, Right Prime Minister Wang Wan, and Imperial Censor Feng Quji were here handling various government affairs.
"I'm here!"
"I'm here!"
Hearing that it was someone sent by the Crown Prince, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward and cupped their hands to receive the order.
" Recently, someone spread rumors in East County, claiming that meteorites fell from the sky and carved the words 'Crown Prince ascended, violent Qin perished' on the stones!”
"The Crown Prince has ordered all the officials in the court to investigate the truth within ten days!”
"Otherwise! Exterminate all their families!"
The herald of the Crown Prince's Residence announced the order that Ying Ziye had given out earlier almost word for word.
"I…accept your orders!"
Li Si, Wang Wan, and Feng Quji looked at each other before quickly cupping their hands and accepting the order!
The task of collecting taxes and distributing land had not been completed yet. He did not expect such a thing to happen again!
It seemed that this was going to be troublesome!
If they couldn't find any results, the lives of all the officials in the court would be lost!
He became puzzled,'Isn't it Meng Yi's duty to investigate the case?
Why did he get implicated?
If they couldn't find out, would all the civil and military officials in the court be exterminated?
This Crown Prince was too ruthless!
"Oh right, just now, the entire family of the Taizhu and Taibu commanders was executed by His Highness the Crown Prince!”
After the herald finished his errand, he chatted with the three of them.
He did this mainly to remind the three of them, as a favor.
"Oh?"
"Killed two more households?"
Hearing that another two officials had been killed, the three of them were shocked.
He had only killed ten officials, and it hadn't been long before he had killed two more?
Moreover, he was also going to execute his entire family?
This was too terrifying!
"Why were the two of them killed?"
Wang Wan suppressed the fear in her heart and asked in confusion.
"Heresy!"
"They said that the meteorites were a warning to Great Qin, asking His Majesty to cripple the Crown Prince. They also said that they had angered the heavens and that Great Qin's 100-year foundation would be destroyed.”
"Guess what happened in the end?"
The herald kept talking and suddenly kept them in suspense.
"What was the result?"
Imperial Censor Feng Quji blinked and asked.
"In the end, in a fit of anger, His Majesty escorted the two of them to the Crown Prince's residence and handed them over to the Crown Prince to deal with!”
"Do you think these two people have nothing better to do? Why did he run to His Majesty to say such greedy words?”
"He even dares to sow discord between His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Isn't this courting death?”
"Now, it's great. The Crown Prince has raided our house and exterminated our entire family!”
"Why bother? This is…!"
The herald shook his head and sighed as he spoke.
He was enjoying himself, but Li Si and the other two felt chills run down their spines!
At the same time, the three of them made up their minds that they would never speak ill of the Crown Prince in front of the Emperor!
Otherwise, they would also end up with a tragic fate of being raided and exterminated!
"Thank you for your reminder!"
"In the future, if you need the three of us, just let me know!”
Li Si and the other two quickly cupped their hands in thanks.
This information was very useful to them. It helped them figure out the First Emperor's thoughts.
As a subject, he had to constantly ponder over the Holy Decree.
Otherwise, if he dared to spout nonsense without even knowing what the Emperor was thinking, it was very likely that he would lose his head!
Therefore, the few words that this herald said were equivalent to saving the lives of their entire family.
"Alright, alright…!"
"Then I won't stay any longer. As for the other officials, I'll have to trouble the three of you to pass on the orders!”
Seeing that the three dukes were giving him face, the messenger was instantly overjoyed.
In the past, only the eunuchs who served the Emperor would be able to get the respect of the officials and receive such treatment!
He didn't expect that he, a messenger of the Crown Prince's Residence, could also make the three dukes bow to him.
It seemed that the Crown Prince's reputation was no weaker than the Emperor's!
"Little brother, don't worry. The three of us will pass down the orders to the other officials!”
"Alright, goodbye!"
"Little brother, take care!"
After Li Si and the other two respectfully sent a messenger out of the office, they immediately ordered for the other officials to discuss the matter.
Not long after, all the civil and military officials gathered at the Prime Minister's office.
"Not long ago, a huge rock appeared in East County. It was said to be a meteorite that fell from the sky!”
"There are six words engraved on the meteorite,'Crown Prince is established, violent Qin perishes!”
"Now, this rumor has reached His Majesty's ears, and His Highness the Crown Prince has also learned of this matter!”
Li Si said with a serious expression when he saw everyone present.
"What?"
"Meteorite fell from the sky, and there are words on it?”
"Could this be a sign of Qin's demise?"
"Shh! Be careful of what you say. Be careful not to let it reach the Crown Prince's ears!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers were shocked.
This was a warning from the heavens!
Could it be that Great Qin's country would be destroyed if it had a Crown Prince?
