"Your Highness, His Majesty invites you!"
After the court session ended and Ying Chen was about to leave the palace, Zhao Gao came over and whispered to Ying Chen.
Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Chen didn't think much of it and followed Zhao Gao to Zhangtai Palace.
When Ying Chen arrived at Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was reading memorials.
In front of Ying Zheng was a small mountain of bamboo slips, as if they were going to bury him whole.
This was the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng. It was said that the memorials that Ying Zheng read every day weighed as much as thirty kilograms. He could be considered a model of diligence among the emperors of the past.
"Ying Chen greets Imperial Father!"
The moment he saw Ying Zheng, Ying Chen immediately cupped his hands and bowed.
However, Ying Zheng, who was standing three meters away, seemed to have not heard what Ying Chen said, and simply ignored him.
An hour had passed, and since Ying Zheng did not ask Ying Chen to stand up, Ying Chen could only stand there in a bowing posture.
"Get up!"
It was not until this moment that Ying Zheng stopped, then raised his head and gave Ying Chen a glance!
"Do you know why I called you over?”
Ying Zheng said calmly.
"For the matter of the 1.5 million dans of grain?”
Ying Chen asked with a smile.
Seeing Ying Chen in this state, Ying Zheng couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Kid, have you been too lucky recently that you're floating!”
"As the Crown Prince of Great Qin, your every word and action affects the entire Great Qin!”
"Zhen knows that the reason why you dared to agree to Feng Quji is because you have your own confidence, but as the ruler, you made a bet with the officials in front of all the civil and military officials.”
"You have to remember that you are the ruler, you are the king. When a subject doubts you, you can listen, you can disobey, you can even kill him, but you must not forget or even lower your status!”
Hearing this, Ying Chen was stunned!
To be honest, Ying Chen had always thought about the modern society 2,000 years in the future. Naturally, his actions carried some colors of the modern society 2,000 years in the future.
These colors might not be wrong, but in this era, in this era between the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were destined to be somewhat inappropriate.
Now, Ying Zheng was teaching Ying Chen the art of emperors!
In Ying Zheng's eyes, an emperor should be a lonely and supreme being.
Even if an official won a bet, it was not glorious!
In private, for the sake of the relationship between monarch and minister, one could not have so many scruples. However, in the court, the emperor had to be supreme.
If there was a day when an emperor made a bet with his subjects in the imperial court, it would definitely be when the emperor's authority was no longer so supreme.
At this moment, hearing Ying Zheng's words, Ying Chen quickly came to his senses.
"Your son understands!"
Ying Chen bowed once again.
On the other side, Ying Zheng saw that Ying Chen had understood what he wanted to say, and the anger in his heart also disappeared.
This son of his was only eighteen years old. He was a little immature about the matters of the imperial court, but it was normal.
When he was eighteen years old, he did not understand these principles either.
In the end, it was Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, and the others who taught them what a true king was!
Ying Zheng wasn't afraid that Ying Chen was too inexperienced, but he was afraid that he was too stubborn!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng could not help but think of Fu Su.
If this eldest son of his was half as intelligent as Ying Chen, the position of Crown Prince would not have fallen into Ying Chen's hands!
" Of course!" Ying Zheng was enraged again." Feng Quji dared to make a bet with you in front of all the officials and ministers in the court because your foundation is still shallow, and you don't have enough foundation. You're still not strong enough to sit on the throne of Crown Prince!"”
"Therefore, you must succeed in this matter of 1.5 million dans of grain. You must not fail!”
"Otherwise, for the next ten years, your position as Crown Prince will be useless!”
Hearing Ying Zheng's warning, Ying Chen raised his head and said firmly,""Your son has absolute confidence!"
In an instant, Ying Zheng raised his head, then looked at Ying Chen with a sharp gaze like an eagle,""Where did you get so much food?"
When Ying Chen heard this, he lightly smiled,"Your son has a million mu of land west of Longxi!”
As he said this, Ying Chen felt somewhat emotional. There were still too few people in the Western Regions.
Even though he had already ordered Yue Fei and his 50,000 soldiers to occupy the entire Hexi Corridor, due to the small population and the lack of time, it had only been a short two years since he signed Yue Fei and his 50,000 soldiers. Therefore, the Hexi Corridor could only reclaim a million mu of land.
Otherwise, if Ying Chen was given more time, the land in his hands would exceed three million mu!
On the other side, upon hearing this, the brush and knife in Ying Zheng's hand dropped to the ground.
"What? You said you have a million mu of land?”
Hearing this, Ying Chen had an expression that said,"Imperial Father, stop pretending."
"Imperial Father, you shouldn't have known about this long ago. Otherwise, why would you make me the Crown Prince?”
That's right, Ying Chen had been thinking about it for the past few days, but he still couldn't understand why the Crown Prince position had fallen to him.
In the end, Ying Chen figured out that it was because some of his secret forces had been discovered by Ying Zheng.
Therefore, Ying Zheng looked at it again and again!
Good heavens, so you hid so deeply. You're very strong!
" It just so happens that Fu Su has been brainwashed by the Confucians. Since Huhai is useless, it's decided that you will win against Chen.
It was precisely because of this that Ying Chen felt that Ying Zheng was becoming more and more unfathomable!
Indeed, in Great Qin, nothing could be hidden from this legendary Emperor!
As for Ying Chen's lamentation, Ying Zheng actually wanted to refute it at first.
"No, Imperial Father doesn't know about these things. You're just thinking too much.”
But thinking about it carefully, it couldn't be done!
I can't tell Chen 'er that I only dreamed of the future.
After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng nodded mysteriously and said,""It's good that you know. In the future, don't fool me in front of me.”
"I don't dare, I don't dare!"
Ying Chen said with a smile.
"That's not right either!"
" Little Chen," Ying Zheng thought carefully," even if you have a million mu of land now, it's still impossible for you to accumulate 1.5 million dan of grain!”
"It can't be that the people on your one million mu of land don't eat or drink, right?”
