That imposing and incomparably familiar figure once again stood in the imperial court.
The entire Qilin Palace could be heard even if a pin dropped.
Other than Dun Ruo and Wang Jian, the officials were all dumbstruck, standing on the spot, not knowing what to do.
Isn't His Majesty still on his way to the east?
Why would this appear in the Qilin Palace?
Even Fu Su was stunned.
Why did Imperial Father return without a word? Why didn't any news leak out? Then, he suddenly appeared in the Qilin Palace and directly carried his 19th brother away?
"So Old General Wang entered the court early to escort His Majesty."
Li Si looked at the calm Wang Jian among the officials.
He immediately understood.
No wonder Old General Wang had entered the Qilin Palace early today.
Sigh, he really didn't inform the officials.
Didn't this mean that the First Emperor had seen the whole thing?
Thinking of this, Li Si looked at Feng Quji with amusement.
The latter was also in disbelief.
The usually steady Left Minister actually revealed a panicked expression.
Just as all the civil and military officials had different expressions on their faces.
Ying Zimo's four limbs left the ground, and his small arms and legs kicked wildly.
He finally turned around.
" Father??!"
Ying Zimo's small face was also filled with shock.
Brother Zheng didn't play by the rules and sneaked an attack.
Were they hiding in the back hall and eavesdropping?
"Humph, why? You don't welcome me back to the Qilin Palace? Or did I influence you to act like a tyrant in the imperial court?”
Ying Zimo carried Ying Zimo with one hand.
His half-smiling tone finally woke the ministers up.
"Welcome back to the palace, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, why are you back? We haven't had the time to welcome you.”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your return from finding the Immortal Medicine!"
.......
The ministers bowed and paid their respects as if they had seen their savior.
Logically speaking, this was the most sincere time they had ever paid their respects to the First Emperor.
You're finally back!
Do you know how the ministers have been doing while you were away?
At every moment, she was terrified that the Little Lord would do something.
"Father, when did you return?"
Fu Su asked carefully.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's gaze swept across the civil and military officials, and finally stopped on the courtiers of the aristocratic families.
His gaze was scrutinizing, and all the officials who met his gaze lowered their heads nervously.
"Coming to the Qilin Hall today has allowed me to catch a good show.”
"Aren't you good at guessing? Why don't you guess when I returned to Xianyang?”
His meaningful words fell into the court.
Feng Quji's palms were already sweating.
This was equivalent to not saying anything.
Looking at the Emperor's appearance, it was impossible that he had returned to the court today.
How long had it been? Who could guess?
But no matter what, what had just happened in the imperial court must have fallen into the eyes of the First Emperor.
Immediately, a strong sense of fear rose in his heart.
However, Ying Zheng had the intention of settling scores with the ministers after the autumn festival. Even if he did, it was not their turn now.
Instead, he looked at Ying Zimo, who was being held in his hands.
"Little Nineteen, is supervising the country fun?"
"Of course it's good. How can this matter of governing the country be child's play? How can your son judge it by whether it's fun or not?”
Ying Zimo said seriously with a bitter face.
She looked like a well-behaved baby.
As soon as he said this.
Feng Quji's mouth twitched.
Li Si's eyes twitched.
Fu Su looked ashamed and covered his mouth as he coughed twice.
Nineteenth brother, I'm too embarrassed to expose you!
I didn't see you drinking milk and shouting at the salt merchant just now. I really believed you!
"If only that was the case."
In response, Ying Zheng snorted lightly, too lazy to argue with this little bastard in the imperial court.
He let go of Ying Zimo and placed him on the ground.
Then, he stepped onto the Emperor's Throne and sat down casually.
In an instant, his aura turned from a father to a mountain-like emperor.
"Stand up. There is no need to report to me about what happened in Xianyang recently.”
"Although Zimo was messing around with the official salt business, it was a lucky hit. Let's just continue with the plan.”
It sounded like a dragon's roar.
He said that he would make the best of it.
However, Wang Ben, Wang Jian, Li Si, Feng Quji, and all the other officials who followed Ying Zheng understood this.
If he felt that the official salt trade was a joke, Emperor Shi Huang would have stopped it long ago.
It was just an excuse to make the mistake.
The reason why I told them not to report was that I know better than you what happened in Xianyang. Don't take any chances.
Behave yourself, or you won't have a good ending.
"We have no objections."
"The official salt trade is indeed a good thing for the country and the people.”
.....
All the officials agreed. Even the officials from the aristocratic families lowered their heads obediently.
They were all starting to guess.
Was it possible that His Majesty was behind this official salt store?
Ying Zimo pouted his little mouth and became unhappy.
The ministers really turned against each other faster than flipping a book. He was messing around by promoting the official salt industry, but Brother Zheng was talking about benefiting the country and the people. He was wise and divine.
hetui！
Ying Zheng shifted his gaze and saw Ying Zimo pinching the corner of his clothes.
He immediately snorted,
"You've caused me a lot of trouble recently. Even if Zhao Gao is guilty, you can't kill him in court. You even want Huhai. He's your brother.”
Poor Huhai, he was still locked up in the Black Tooth Prison.
After all, he was still a prince. Even if Ying Zheng had a grudge against him after reading the report letter, it was not a good thing to keep him locked up in prison.
"Oh, Brother Huhai, Zimo almost forgot about this.”
Ying Zimo looked enlightened.
He seemed to have really forgotten that he still had an elder brother locked up in prison.
Ying Zheng was speechless.
Believe you? It was clearly intentional!
"Since you have remembered, let's order someone to release Huhai later. However,"
"Although he barged into Black Tooth Prison to avenge me, he still offended Qin Fa.”
"Punish him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. After the Imperial Academy is built, let him go in and read the hundreds of classics alone to cultivate his character.”
After all, the report letter was still groundless.
He couldn't use this as a reason to deal with Huhai.
He could only throw them into the Hanlin Academy and deal with them coldly.
"Alright, alright, we'll do as Father says.”
At least, Brother Zheng's words acknowledged the existence of the Hanlin Academy.
Ying Zimo locked Huhai up to vent his anger. He knew that it was unrealistic to do anything to Huhai.
"Don't be happy too early. I just remembered that Huhai broke into Black Tooth Prison without permission.”
"Although I pardoned Zhang Liang, I didn't ask you to make him an official in the court, right?”
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked down at the stage.
Who would have thought that the assassin who had tried to assassinate him in Bolangsha was now standing in the Imperial Court?
The gazes of all the officials also looked at Zhang Liang.
The atmosphere in the Qilin Palace became inexplicably strange.
"Guilty subject Zhang Liang greets Your Majesty.”
Zhang Liang did not panic.
Instead, he was very courteous. He bent down and bowed.
If he was afraid of death, he would not have done something like assassinating the Saint.
Whether he lived or died today, he would just take it calmly.
"Back then, when you tried to assassinate me in Bolangsha, it could be said to be a heaven-shaking attack that made your name known to the world. If it wasn't for the fact that you changed carriages that day, I'm afraid you would have succeeded.”
Ying Zheng's tone was flat.
It was as if he was not the one being assassinated.
However, Zhang Han, who had experienced it for himself, had a dangerous look in his eyes.
Of course, they did not know that Ying Zheng had read the letter.
He thought that it was because of luck that he changed to a carriage. He could only understand that His Majesty was lucky.
If not for that, the consequences of being ambushed by a group of Assassins, who had appeared out of nowhere, under the protection of Great Qin's elites, would be unimaginable!
At that time, they could only die to atone for their sins.
"I only found out about it after the incident. This matter was first of all the will of the heavens, and second of all, Your Majesty was far-sighted. No matter what, it was impossible for me to succeed.”
Zhang Liang did not raise his body.
"Hehehe, someone reminded me that day. It wasn't that I was far-sighted, but that an expert gave me pointers.”
What Ying Zheng was referring to was naturally the report letter.
Until today, they still didn't know who had written the report.
Looking at Zhang Liang's expression, it was obvious that he knew nothing about this letter. There was no possibility of collusion.
That would be interesting.
Expert guidance?
Zhang Liang was also stunned, not understanding what he meant.
He could only bow his head and say,"No matter what, I am only a prisoner now."”
"The crime of treason is hard to avoid. It's all up to Your Majesty.”
However, neither Zhang Liang, the Sage of Conspiracy, nor the father of the One Emperor of the Ancient Era noticed it.
A certain devilish brat curled the corners of his mouth and coughed lightly.
" Hmph, it seems like Brother Zheng still remembers the contents of the report letter.'
While Ying Zheng was still thinking, he suddenly felt the sleeve of his dragon robe being pulled.
Turning his head, Ying Zimo pulled the corner of his clothes, blinked his eyes and said,"
"Imperial Father, you said that you would pardon Zhang Liang.”
