Xianyang Palace
"Where did Che 'er's convoy go?”
Ying Zheng raised his head from the endless pile of memorials and asked casually.
"Your Majesty, according to the report, Young Master Che has passed Sanchuan Prefecture and is crossing the Wei River. It will take him less than three days to reach Xianyang City!”
"However…"
Zhao Gao hesitated for a moment before saying,"When we were in Sanchuan Prefecture, Young Master Che was attacked by the rebels led by Zhang Liang."
"Is Che 'er injured?"
Ying Zheng's expression changed as he interrupted Zhao Gao's words.
"Third Prince is not in danger, and the culprit Zhang Liang has been captured alive!”
Zhao Gao hurriedly cupped his hands.
He was also secretly jealous in his heart. The king was too caring for this Third Prince, right?
When would Huhai receive the same treatment as Ying Che? Zhao Gao wouldn't have to worry about the fight for the throne anymore.
There was also that Zhang Liang, who was known as the Sage of Confucianism and had a great reputation, but he didn't even know how to set up an assassination. Instead, he made himself Ying Che's captive and gave Ying Che another wave of reputation. This made Zhao Gao despise him.
"Zhang Liang seems to be from the scholarly faction?”
Ying Zheng frowned.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Sinful Zhang Liang is the Third Chief of the scholarly faction. He once taught the Eldest Young Master together with Fu Nian!”
Zhao Gao quickly replied and gave Fu Su another eye drop.
Although Ying Che was currently in the limelight, Fu Su's reputation was not to be underestimated. He was also Huhai's enemy.
"How dare you try to assassinate my beloved son!”
"Zhao Gao, send a message to Qi Wang Jian on my behalf. If he doesn't hand over the remaining sinners of the scholarly faction, don't blame me for not caring about our alliance and razing the Qi Kingdom!”
Ying Zheng said angrily.
"Yes, sir!"
" Yes!" Zhao Gao replied loudly, his heart growing more and more awe-inspiring.
His Majesty's regard for Ying Che, the Third Young Master, was beyond his expectations.
The Qi Kingdom was Great Qin's only ally and had always had a good relationship with it.
The Confucian school was the only prominent school of learning in the world, and its students and old friends were all over the world. Even in the Great Qin Imperial Court, its influence could not be underestimated.
But now, Ying Zheng had actually acted in such a way. It was evident that Ying Che had completely become an untouchable absolute in Ying Zheng's heart!
Dragons had reverse scales, and anyone who touched them would die!
No, if this continued, no one would be able to compete for Ying Che's position as Crown Prince.
He had to give Ying Che a hard blow.
Zhao Gao felt hatred in his heart, but his expression became more respectful as he knelt down and left.
......
At the Prime Minister's residence,
"Milord, the Confucian Sect's Fu Nian requests an audience!”
The butler quickly came to the outside of the study and reported respectfully.
"He actually asked for help from this old traitor. It can be seen that Fu Nian is indeed anxious this time!”
"However, the heavens can forgive you for your sins, but you can't live for your own sins!”
"Just say that the Prime Minister is not here!"
Li Si sneered.
Did it feel good to mock me in the past?
Today, he actually had the face to come and beg. He really thought that this Prime Minister had no temper.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were in Xianyang City, Li Si would have gone out to kick the King of Qin while he was down.
He had always been a vengeful person, and he was not too calculative.
Besides, the reason why the King of Qin was punishing the Confucian Sect was because of the assassination of Ying Che by the Third Chief of the Confucian Sect, Zhang Liang. Li Si, who knew the importance of Ying Che in Ying Zheng's heart, had no time to curry favor with Ying Che, so how could he go back and do such an extremely stupid thing?
Only Zhao Gao, who had been completely tied to Huhai, would have no choice but to continue fighting against Ying Che with his eyes closed.
"Yes, sir!"
The butler couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately cupped his hands and left.
Outside the Prime Minister's residence.
"Sect Master, this traitor is too arrogant. He's clearly in the residence, but he's lying through his teeth.”
The Confucian Sect's Grand Scholar, Shu Suntong, angrily said.
Fu Nian shook his head.
Ever since they had successfully suppressed the Mohists and become the number one school of thought in the world, many people in the Confucian Sect had become extremely arrogant.
Even at this time, and even outside Prime Minister Li Si's residence, he was still saying that he was rebellious. It could be seen how he usually treated Li Si.
Putting himself in Li Si's shoes, Fu Nian felt that even if he were in Li Si's position, he would definitely not help the scholarly faction. He did not step on them a few more times because of Senior Uncle Xun Zi.
What worried Fu Nian even more was that the Qin State's power to dominate the world was already very obvious, yet the Confucian Sect still turned a blind eye to it, and kept on talking about how they were going to bully the Qin tyrant. Once Ying Zheng truly ruled the world and freed himself, the Confucian Sect would be in danger of being destroyed.
No matter how many disciples one had, no matter how influential one was, could one theory contend against hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers?
If it was before, no matter how talented and resourceful Ying Zheng was, with no successor, the Confucians would still have a chance of survival.
But now, Ying Che, the third son of Ying Zheng, was such a monster. If the Confucians didn't change, they would be in danger!
Zhang Liang's plot to assassinate Ying Che had successfully ignited the anger of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng.
What worried Fu Nian even more was Yan Lu, who stayed behind in the Small Sage Manor and temporarily took charge of the affairs. This second junior brother was also unwilling to be mediocre.
Troubled times, the wind and rain swayed!
"Pass down my sect leader's order. Zhang Liang has committed a crime and is expelled from the sect. No disciple of the scholarly faction is allowed to defend him!”
"Pack your luggage and set off immediately to return to the Small Saint Manor!”
Fu Nian pondered for a long time before he suddenly spoke.
"Sect Master?"
Shu Suntong was stunned." Li Si is not willing to help, but we can still visit Eldest Young Master Fu Su. With his magnanimity, he definitely won't leave us in the lurch!"”
"Foolish!"
Fu Nian, who had always been calm and gentle, lost his temper."Fu Su's period of being grounded by the King of Qin has yet to end, and you still want to pay a visit at this moment. Are you trying to destroy the last hope of our scholarly faction?”
Shu Suntong was silent.
Although he was afraid of Fu Nian's power and did not dare to refute, he had made up his mind that he would send a message to the Fusu Residence when he had the chance.
If the Qin country really publicly interrogated Zhang Liang and beheaded him, the Confucian Sect's prestige would be greatly damaged.
Even though Fu Nian had already ordered Zhang Liang to be expelled from the Confucian Sect, in the hearts of the people, Zhang Liang was still the Third Chief of the Small Sage Manor, the symbol of the Confucian Sect.
......
At the Imperial Advisor's residence,
"Lord Donghuang, the King of Qin is blaming the scholarly faction!”
The Moon Goddess respectfully bowed to the black-robed figure on the platform.
"Ignore it!"
"A monster descended from the heavens. There must be a change!"
"Order the Eastern Ruler to speed up and find out if Ying Quan has anything to do with the Azure Dragon's Seven Constellations.”
"In addition, think of a way to lead the Qin country to attack the Mo family and get the Illusory Sound Treasure Box!”
Donghuang Taiyi's ethereal voice rang out.
"Yes, sir!"
The Moon Goddess understood and bowed.
The Yin Yang School and Great Qin's main goal in working together was to obtain the supreme power that was said to be controlled by the seven countries and could reach the Celestial God Stage.
Now, after the Qin country had destroyed two countries, Ying Che's army had suddenly risen. It was hard not to think of the ancient legend.
"Ying Che, what is the difference?"
After Yueshen left, Donghuang Taiyi's sigh suddenly rang out from the silent platform.
It was obvious that this peak expert, the great grandmaster of the Yin-Yang School, was also shocked and puzzled.
