The sun and moon rotated, and time passed.
Ever since Zhao Gao's ear had been cut off by Ying Ziqiu, he had been well-behaved and didn't make any small moves.
but...
This did not mean that Zhao Gao had given up on his ambition.
Ying Ziqiu's actions had instead made his ambition even more inflated!
He wanted to control his own fate even more strongly!
However, these ambitions were temporarily hidden by him. He was waiting for an opportunity!
Without Zhao Gao and the rest's schemes, Ying Ziqiu felt that his life was lacking some seasoning, and it seemed a little boring.
There was very little entertainment in ancient times.
There was no developed internet, no colorful games, no exciting dramas, and so on.
His current life was the royal court and the palace, two points and one line.
Occasionally, he would go out with the beauty to enjoy the scenery.
Although it was very comfortable.
However, after a long time, he still felt a little tired.
Spring passed and summer arrived.
This year's summer was as hot as last year's, and it might even be hotter than last year's in the future!
It was estimated that there would be a drought in some places, causing the production of food to decrease.
Ying Zheng was also aware of this problem.
Zhangtai Palace.
"Dear ministers, summer has arrived and the weather is hot.”
"Based on this weather, some places in Great Qin will probably suffer from the same drought as last year.”
"We must make the various prefectures and counties prepare and store up food in case of emergency.”
In the imperial court, Ying Zheng reminded the ministers, not wanting to repeat the mistakes of the previous year.
"Your Majesty!"
"Today's weather is hotter than usual. Based on this situation, the Guanlong region might not be the only place suffering from the drought. Nanyang County, Yingchuan County, and other places might also suffer from the drought.”
"Especially the Chu land, Ba County, Kuaiji County, Jiangdong County, and other places that have recently submitted to the Qin country.”
"The hearts of the people here are stable. If we don't handle it well, it might cause the hearts of the people to fall into chaos!”
Ning Teng, who was in charge of the Great Qin Empire's finances and people's livelihood, stepped forward and reported to Ying Zheng, his voice full of worry.
He felt that the situation this year might be even more serious than last year!
Although the divine potatoes and sweet potatoes discovered by the Second Prince had already been promoted, no matter how high the production was, they would not be able to bear fruit in the face of drought!
"Great King!"
"This must be a punishment from the heavens for Great Qin!”
"My Qin Country destroyed Yan, Zhao, Chu, and Xiongnu. There were frequent wars and millions of casualties!”
"The High Heavens must not want to go anymore, which is why they sent a drought to make Great Qin unable to attack!”
Chunyu Yue immediately said to Ying Zheng, his eyes looking at Ying Ziqiu.
The meaning was self-evident!
He was clearly saying that this punishment was caused by Ying Ziqiu killing too many people.
In front.
Ying Ziqiu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Chunyu Yue's words. He felt bored.
Couldn't Chunyu Yue come up with a new excuse?
It was always a punishment from the heavens!
It was like this last year, and it was still the same this year!
At least be a little creative, okay?
"Your Majesty, you should stop fighting and return peace to the world. Then, you should hold a sacrificial ceremony and beg for forgiveness from the heavens!”
Chunyu Yue continued.
Now.
Ying Ziqiu had already destroyed three kingdoms in a row, and his meritorious service was unparalleled. If the world was unified, he would definitely be conferred the title of Crown Prince by Ying Zheng.
As such, he had to delay Great Qin's unification of the world and give Young Master Fusu a chance.
After the war had been settled and a period of time had passed, Ying Ziqiu's reputation was no longer as glorious as it was today.
At that time.
He was asking Ying Zheng to lead an army to attack Wei and destroy Qi on behalf of his son, Fusu!
So it was.
Only then would Young Master Fusu be able to compete with Ying Ziqiu for the position of Crown Prince!
"This…"
Chunyu Yue's words put Ying Zheng in a difficult position.
As a talented and bold ruler, sweeping across the world and unifying the world was his greatest dream!
Now, this dream was about to come true.
He had originally planned to use his troops against Wei after the autumn harvest and wipe them out as quickly as possible. Then, he would attack Qi to complete his great cause of unifying the world!
but...
Today's weather would once again cause Great Qin to suffer a drought, greatly affecting its food production.
They might not even be able to feed the people of Qin, let alone have the strength to use troops against Wei!
Suffering from two consecutive years of drought, even Ying Zheng had a chance to agree with Chunyu Yue's words.
It was possible that the Heavens had seen that the world had killed too many people, so they had punished Great Qin so that it would not attack again.
In this feudal era.
The ancient people were still very superstitious and maintained a certain degree of reverence for the gods.
Silence…
No one in the imperial court spoke, as if they all silently agreed with Chunyu Yue's words.
When Chunyu Yue saw this, he raised his head with a smug expression, like a victorious rooster!
In terms of strength.
He admitted that even if there were a hundred or even a thousand of him, he would still not be a match for Ying Ziqiu.
That was why Chunyu Yue had never pursued fighting Ying Ziqiu.
However, in terms of brains and resourcefulness, Chunyu Yue believed that he could still match Ying Ziqiu.
This was…
He had won!
Even the King and the ministers had tacitly agreed, so what could Second Prince Ying Ziqiu do?
Now that his fief, Luoyang City, was also within the range of the dry land, it was impossible for him to provide countless grains to the world like last year.
There was no solution at all!
He had to take the blame for this!
This way, Ying Ziqiu's reputation in the imperial court and among the people would plummet. He might even incur the disgust of the people!
Once they lost the hearts of the people.
Second Prince Ying Ziqiu's threat to the Crown Prince's position was much smaller.
At that time.
If he were to mobilize the scholarly disciples to publicize Young Master Fu Su's benevolence and righteousness, the Crown Prince would definitely be in his hands!
"Father, don't worry."
"This matter is simple!"
Just as everyone was silent, Ying Ziqiu spoke.
Instantly.
Ying Zheng and all the other ministers turned to look at Ying Ziqiu in unison, their faces filled with shock and astonishment.
No way!
This matter was simple!
This was a large-scale drought!
Unlike last year when it was only the Guanlong area, this time it covered more than half of the Qin country!
Some places had not had the time to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes. The grain produced by the fields was not enough for all the people of the Qin country to eat!
Humph!
Bragging!
I don't believe that you can solve the drought in the Qin country this time!
If you can f * cking solve it, I, Chunyu Yue, will directly eat three pounds of sh * t and dance in a manure pit!
Chunyu Yue's face was filled with disdain as he silently set the flag in his heart. He didn't believe it at all!
"Ziqiu, do you have any good ideas?"
"Quickly tell me!"
Ying Zheng urged Ying Ziqiu anxiously, eager to know the solution that he was talking about.
If he didn't have to.
He really did not want to give up the opportunity to send troops to attack Wei after the autumn harvest!
Along with Ying Zheng's voice, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court were filled with anticipation as they looked at Ying Ziqiu.
Would the Second Prince really be able to deal with such a large-scale natural disaster?？
