Xianyang, Conference Hall.
The court session had just ended. Ying Ziyu looked at the officials who were slowly retreating and immediately began to take attendance.
"That Minister Feng, High Official Meng, Xiao He, don't go yet. I have something to discuss with you.”
Their faces turned green when they heard that. What was the matter?
They knew very well what Ying Ziyu meant when he said that he had something to do. Didn't he just want them to stay and approve the memorial?
Meng Yi hurriedly said," Young Master, I have already made an appointment with the Legalism. I'll invite them to be teachers at the Royal Academy. I'm really busy, so I'll take my leave first."”
After saying that, he turned around and left, not giving Ying Ziyu a chance to speak at all.
"Young Master, this official is not free. The Royal Academy is about to start…Look!"
Xiao He hurriedly spoke up, afraid that Ying Ziyu would ask him to stay and review the memorial. Looking at the unwilling faces of the few people, Ying Ziyu helplessly waved his hand. Wasn't it just to look at the memorial? This Young Master would do it himself.
As soon as they left the Town Hall, they saw Azure Dragon running in hurriedly.
"Young Master, we have just received news that His Majesty was assassinated in Bolangsha. Fortunately, General Yang Zaixing intervened in time to save His Majesty. His Majesty was furious and ordered you to investigate the origins of these villains.”
As soon as Azure Dragon finished speaking, the officials who had not walked far were instantly shocked.
"What do you mean by His Majesty was attacked?"
"Who is it that dares to assassinate His Majesty?”
On the stairs, Ying Ziyu was slightly stunned. Brother Zheng, Bo Langsha, was assassinated. Could it be Zhang Liang's doing?
After pondering for a while, Ying Ziyu said coldly,"Milords, don't leave. The court session will continue.”
With Ying Ziyu's order, the officials who hadn't gone far retreated.
"Everyone, please share your thoughts on the assassination attempt on His Majesty.”
Wang Ben stood up and said angrily,"Young Master, I think we should send more troops to protect His Majesty to prevent such incidents from happening again!”
Wang Ben rarely spoke in the royal court, but now that the First Emperor had been assassinated, he was so furious that he wanted to lead his troops to wipe out all these rebels.
"Young Master, I agree with General Wang Ben.”
Feng Quji's expression was similarly ugly as he spoke coldly.
Although Feng Quji was quite selfish, he was absolutely loyal to the First Emperor. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the Prime Minister.
"Young Master, I agree with General Wang Ben.”
"That's right. His Majesty was assassinated, which means that the defensive power is not enough. We should send more troops to protect him.”
In the Conference Hall, the officials were incredibly furious. In their hearts, Big Brother Zheng was Great Qin's sky; if anything happened to him, the sky would collapse.
On the stairs, Ying Ziyu nodded slightly.""My lords, you're right. How about this, General Wang Ben, you will lead ten thousand light cavalry to protect His Majesty.”
"Yes!"
Wang Ben's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he turned around and left the conference hall after receiving the order. Everyone knew that the general was really angry when they saw Wang Ben's murderous look.
"Father was assassinated. This Young Master is sure that it was done by the remnants of the Six Nations. Since they are not benevolent, then don't blame this Young Master for being unjust. The Brocade Guard, listen up. Capture all the nobles of the Six Nations in Xianyang City and announce to the world that if the assassins do not come to Xianyang to be executed within ten days, kill a hundred people every day until they are all killed. Oh right, start with Korea.”
Everyone was shocked.
"Young Master, you must not…You mustn't."
"That's right, Young Master. There are more than ten thousand people from the six dynasties in Xianyang City.”
"Young Master, you can't do that. Please think twice.”
After recovering from their shock, the officials immediately tried to dissuade him.
"Shut up, all of you. The Embroidered Uniform Guards are carrying out the order.”
Ying Ziyu snorted coldly and led his men out of the Town Hall.
"This…this is simply nonsense.”
"How preposterous! This old man is going to report Childe Yu to His Majesty.”
" Ninth Young Master isn't serious, is he?"
All the officials looked at Ying Ziyu's departing figure and didn't know what to do.
The next day!
When the First Emperor was assassinated, the Ninth Prince ordered the capture of the nobles of the six dynasties. It was like a hot iron was suddenly placed in a basin of ice water. The world was boiling and the whole country was in turmoil. Everyone in Xianyang City was in danger.
The Brocade Guard was ordered to capture the nobles of the six dynasties. In just one night, they had captured more than a thousand people.
"What are you guys doing?"
"How dare you! Do you know who I am? This old man is a noble of the State of Zhao. Even if the First Emperor saw him, he would treat him with courtesy.”
Black Tortoise sneered," A noble from the State of Zhao, right? This commander is here to capture nobles like you. Men, arrest them and kill anyone who dares to resist.”
Seeing the Embroidered Uniform Guards pull out the Embroidered Spring Knife with murderous intent, how could this noble of the State of Zhao dare to resist?
In a huge manor in Xianyang City, all the nobles were captured and brought here.
"Official, I really have nothing to do with those assassins. I have been in Xianyang for a while and have never left.”
"Right, why didn't you capture the assassin?”
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Would Ying Ziyu dare to kill us?”
"Aiyo, this elder brother, the Embroidered Uniform Guards are not to be trifled with. You should speak less so that everyone will not be implicated.”
Most of the nobles in Xianyang City were hostages or captives that had been brought back when the six kingdoms were conquered. There were even masters of great clans, princes, and princesses among them.
The reason why Brother Zheng didn't kill them all was to use them to stabilize the people's hearts. That was why they could live well until now.
Just as the nobles of the Nine Nations were making a ruckus, Ying Ziyu arrived at the manor.
"Young Master, if that evil person doesn't come to Xianyang to be executed, do we really have to kill him?”
Meng Yi asked worriedly.
"Young Master, please think twice. We can't kill these nobles of the Nine Nations. If we kill the survivors of the Six Nations, there will be a backlash. When the world falls into chaos, none of us can bear the responsibility.”
Feng Quji was also worried.
Just last night, the Embroidered Uniform Guards had killed hundreds of people who resisted. He didn't expect that the Ninth Young Master would be serious.
Ying Ziyu looked at the worried faces of Meng Yi and Feng Quji and said indifferently,
"You make it sound like if we don't kill them, the people of the six dynasties will behave themselves.”
"Don't forget, it was father who was assassinated first.”
After he finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and walked towards the crowd. Ying Ziyu knew without a doubt that Zhang Liang was the one who had tried to assassinate Brother Zheng, so he planned to use the Korean dignitaries as an example to force Zhang Liang to show himself.
Zhang Liang, aren't you patriotic? You keep saying that you want to restore the country. There are a few Korean princes and princesses in Xianyang City. Let's see if you, a loyal and patriotic man, will come and save them.
After arriving at the manor, Ying Ziyu looked at the noisy nobles of the six dynasties and frowned. He snorted coldly and said,""All of you shut up."
Shua ~! Everyone looked over.
"Who are you? How dare you speak to us like this?”
"Yes, who are you? You think you're worthy of telling us to shut up?"
Ying Ziyu instantly laughed. These people really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. They still dared to be so arrogant even when death was near.
"How dare you disrespect the young master?”Black Tortoise said angrily.
Two Centurions of the Embroidered Uniform Guards led their men forward and dragged out the few people who had spoken just now. Under everyone's incredulous gazes, they began to fight.
Although they were arrogant, they were not fools. To be called a young master by these Embroidered Uniform Guards, was there any need to talk about his identity?
The scene instantly quieted down. These people all stared at Ying Ziyu. Some were panicking, some were disdainful, some were resentful, and some were whispering.
It was obvious that they still did not understand their situation and did not know what they were about to face.
"You must be Childe Yu? I want to ask, why did Young Master capture us?”
"We are the guests of His Majesty the First Emperor. Aren't you afraid that the First Emperor will blame you for imprisoning us?”
"So you're Young Master Yu. Hurry up and let me go. I don't have time to argue with you here.”
The slightly quiet scene suddenly became noisy again. Ying Ziyu frowned. It was useless to just watch and fight. He had to let these people remember. So he came to the Black Tortoise and patted his shoulder with a smile.
"Kill all those who spoke just now.”
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Tortoise drew the Embroidered Spring Saber from his waist and slashed out. Blood splattered everywhere. The first person who spoke held his neck with both hands and fell into a pool of blood unwillingly. After killing one person, the Black Tortoise did not stop at all. The Embroidered Spring Saber in his hand slashed down again, and another person fell to the ground.
The third, fourth…
Black Tortoise killed dozens of people in one breath before stopping.
