"Zhao Gao."
Ying Zheng said coldly.
"Ah…I'm here."
Zhao Gao opened his eyes in confusion and knelt on the ground.
However, before he could kneel for a while, his eyelids began to twitch again.
For some reason, after he returned from passing the imperial edict to all the princes three days ago.
Zhao Gao had trouble sleeping at night.
She finally fell asleep, but the whole night was filled with nightmares.
At its worst, Zhao Gao woke up from the nightmare four times within two hours!
Every time he woke up, he would be drenched in sweat.
Without the guarantee of rest, Zhao Gao's mental state had become worse and worse over the past few days.
He could not help but doze off in the hall.
……
"Your Majesty."
Looking at Zhao Gao, who was about to fall asleep again, Ge Nie hesitated.
Ying Zheng's eyes turned slightly cold.
After a long time, he slowly said.
"It seems that the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture is working hard for the country every day, even more than me.”
"That's why I'm so tired today."
As Ying Zheng slowly spat out each word,
Everyone in the hall felt a sudden chill.
"Men, drag Zhao Gao away and give him a hundred strokes to wake him up.”
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, all the ministers and princes in the hall shuddered!
However, they did not dare to advise Ying Zheng.
One reason was that Zhao Gao had been relying on his position as the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture and an important official of the Imperial Court.
He was arrogant and domineering.
Many people in the imperial court had been ridiculed by him.
Naturally, no one was willing to speak up for him.
Secondly, Ying Zheng seemed to have been angered by Zhao Gao's actions.
Speaking up for Zhao Gao at this time was no different from provoking Ying Zheng!
Moreover, disrespectful behavior in front of the palace was a serious crime, only a hundred sticks.
This was already His Majesty showing mercy to Zhao Gao!
"Yes!"
The guards beside him immediately dragged Zhao Gao, who had yet to figure out what had happened, away.
Huhai was burning with anxiety, but he didn't even have the courage to speak up for Zhao Gao!
……
After severely punishing Zhao Gao, the anger in Ying Zheng's heart had not subsided.
His gaze fell on the empty seat between the princes.
He was about to speak.
"Your son greets father."
A figure walked in from outside the hall.
It was Ying Wuying, who was wearing a black prince's robe.
It was quite strange that Ying Wuying was wearing the same clothes as most of the princes.
However, when compared to Ying Wuying, the other princes felt like they were on the opposite side of the world!
Even the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su, who was publicly acknowledged as the most gentle and handsome in the imperial court.
Compared to Ying Wuying, he also felt a sense of inferiority.
Even Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Wuying's handsome face.
They all felt that the anger in their hearts had dissipated a lot.
"…Forget it, take a seat."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, motioning Ying Wuying to take a seat as soon as possible.
"Yes."
Ying Wuying calmly sat down.
At this moment, a few screams suddenly came from outside the hall. It sounded like it was Zhao Gao.
Huhai's body trembled. Fu Su shook his head and sighed.
Ying Wuying didn't seem to hear it.
……
"Hmph, this Ninth Young Master is born with a good appearance, but he doesn't know the way of monarch and minister.”
"You don't even have basic etiquette."
Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and shook his head.
The way he looked at Ying Wuying was full of contempt, just like Zhao Gao.
"The Ninth Young Master is unrestrained and unruly. He doesn't have the desire to fight for power like the other princes.”
"Unfortunately, although this person doesn't have the heart to fight for power, he's not a suitable person to befriend.”
"Otherwise, Young Master Fusu would be able to befriend this person.”
Meng Tian looked at Ying Wuying and sighed in her heart.
The path of kings was always too lonely.
Fu Su had a forbearing and benevolent personality, but he valued kinship the most.
If he could have a brother and playmate who wouldn't threaten him in the future, he wouldn't be able to sit on the throne.
It was probably a good thing.
It was a pity that this Ninth Young Master had a reputation. Meng Tian, who was a soldier, was naturally unwilling to let Fu Su befriend him.
……
"Although Ninth Brother is famous in Xianyang City, I rarely see him in a year.”
"Previously, I heard rumors in Xianyang City that Ninth Brother's appearance was second to none among Imperial Father's sons.”
"Now it seems that the rumors were right.”
Fu Su was also sizing up Ying Wuying.
Although his appearance had always been regarded as the most outstanding among Ying Zheng's sons, he was still a young man.
However, when he saw Ying Wuying, Fu Su felt ashamed as if he was looking up at a celestial being.
"Sigh, if Ninth Brother can spend some effort on studying, I'm sure your future will be boundless.”
Fu Su shook his head.
……
"Hmph, you're just born with a skin. What's there to be proud of?”
Huhai looked at Ying Wuying indignantly.
Ever since Ying Wuying entered the hall, everyone in the hall, including Ying Zheng, had their eyes fixed on him.
This feeling of being the center of attention made Huhai a little unhappy.
Especially when he saw Ying Wuying's calm expression, as if he didn't feel that other people's attention was on him at all.
How special was that?
This made Huhai feel that this person was too arrogant.
……
"I'm sure you've heard of the reason why I invited you here today.”
Seeing that it was almost noon, Ying Zheng finally spoke.
"Yes."
The hall was filled with orderly responses.
"Three days ago, a golden monument fell from the sky in the eastern market of Xianyang.”
"But according to the Imperial Advisor and Moon Goddess, Xianyang isn't the only place where a golden tablet has descended.”
"The golden tablet has also given a revelation that the Golden Roll will be opened three days later.”
"Introduction to the most powerful mysterious organization in Nine Regions.”
Ying Zheng's gaze slowly swept across everyone's faces.
"I'm a little curious. Our Great Qin is a great country with many talents.”
"I wonder how many people will be on the rankings this time.”
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, the ministers seemed to vaguely understand the purpose of Ying Zheng summoning them here.
"Pass down my orders to anyone who can enter the Golden Roll.”
"If you are willing to work for Great Qin, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and one mu of fertile land.”
"If you enter the official career, you can be a miser. If he joined the army, he could start as a marquis.”
"If the leader is willing to bring his faction to join Great Qin, I can give him a high position!”
Ying Zheng said slowly.
This was the result of his discussion with Ge Nia, Li Si, and the other trusted officials.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Seeing that Ying Zheng had given such a generous reward, how could the ministers not know how much importance Ying Zheng would attach to this Golden Roll?
Moreover, the reward that Ying Zheng mentioned was something that even they were tempted by.
"Just wait for the Golden Roll to open."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Ying Zheng waved his hand.
At this moment, the roof of Xianyang Palace had been under construction for three days.
It allowed Ying Zheng and the other princes to see the situation in the Sky Screen clearly.
Noon arrived.
The ground trembled slightly.
Fortunately, everyone was already used to this kind of strange movement, so they did not panic like the previous two times.
Soon, twenty to thirty pillars of light shot into the sky in the distance!
The dazzling golden light dyed the originally blue sky golden like the rising sun.
It was as if a picture scroll was slowly unfolding in the sky!
