Not understanding why Ying Zheng would suddenly ask such a question, Zhao Gao subconsciously did not take Zhao Chen seriously.
Furthermore, there were people from the Zhongche Manor and the Network keeping a close watch on Yong City.
According to the information he received, Zhao Chen, the Ninth Young Master of the Great Qin Empire, was no different from a commoner…
Standing with his hands clasped, Zhao Gao said softly.
"It will take five days to go to Yong City from Xianyang. Today is the sixth day since the decree was sent to Yong City. I think Young Master is already on his way back to Xianyang.”
Ten days later, they would be making their fifth eastern tour. Great Qin looked peaceful on the surface, but there was an undercurrent that ordinary people could not see.
Ying Zheng immediately lost the mood to read the memorial, so he patiently finished the lotus seed soup, then got up and went to Huhai's residence.
Zhao Gao, who was following behind Ying Zheng, was delighted to see this.
Huhai was sitting behind a table with a book spread out in front of him. He was looking left and right, as if his seat was burning, making him uneasy. Ying Zheng happened to witness this scene, and his eyes turned cold.
Zhao Gao saw Huhai's expression. Although he was following behind Ying Zheng and could not see his expression, he knew that something was wrong.
He quickly took a step forward and gave Huhai a meaningful glance. At the same time, he was speechless.
He explained to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty! This servant taught Young Master late last night, so I couldn't help but be distracted by my studies today…"
It meant that Huhai was still obsessed with his studies!
As the teacher of his eagle hound and Huhai, Ying Zheng believed most of what Zhao Gao said.
The coldness in his eyes relaxed, and his face that was facing Huhai softened.
The moment Ying Zheng appeared in his line of sight, Huhai was so frightened that his heart trembled, and his body, which was sitting behind the table, stiffened.
Huhai immediately reacted when he saw Zhao Gao's signal.
He quickly stood up, walked around the table, and bowed deeply to Ying Zheng.
"Your son greets Imperial Father!"
Initially, he thought that his teacher, Zhao Gao, had said that his father might come back later.
However, it was the same in the past. In the end, when he was ready, Ying Zheng did not come. Therefore, this time, Huhai still felt that Ying Zheng would not come at all.
Therefore, he was just putting on an act to deal with Zhao Gao.
After all, Zhao Gao was quite strict with him, but he did not expect Ying Zheng to really come...
Zhao Gao heaved a sigh of relief and helped.
"Your Majesty! Although the young master didn't put much effort into his homework today, he still remembered that His Majesty had worked hard, so he specially made lotus seed soup for His Majesty!”
While Huhai was still in a daze, Ying Zheng looked at him with a gentler gaze, then nodded and said,"
"Hai 'er is so thoughtful!"
After all, he was her favorite son!
Unlike the strictness and expectations he had for his boss, Fu Su, Ying Zheng was quite satisfied with Huhai, who often made him happy.
Unfortunately, Huhai was too mediocre!
Observing Ying Zheng's expression, Zhao Gao quickly fanned the flames.
"Your Majesty! This servant's subordinates have found out that the remnants of the Six Nations who had contact with Young Master Fusu in the past have gathered in the West District today. They seem to be plotting something…"
As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Ying Zheng's face turned cold.
Fu Su had once founded a village called Juxian Village, which involved a large number of nobles from the six dynasties, and Ying Zheng had actually acquiesced to them. The reason why Fu Su was allowed to do as he pleased was to train Fu Su's methods of governing the country.
It was just to let him understand that his Confucian teachings of appeasement would not work!
However, because of this Juxian Village, which talked about the violent Qin Dynasty all day long, Ying Zheng had issued an edict to send Fu Su to the north to gain experience.
He didn't expect that the moment Fu Su left, these remnants of the Six Nations would immediately become restless.
However, he was going to patrol the east soon, so it was not appropriate for Ying Zheng to make a big move...
……
The Xianyang Palace at night made people feel a little breathless.
Ying Zheng invited Wang Jian into the palace.
The monarch and his subjects were sitting in a pavilion beside a lake in the garden of the palace. The servant who was holding a candle was standing far away from them, and Ying Zheng was personally pouring wine for Wang Jian.
"Thank you for the wine, Your Majesty!"
Stopping Wang Jian who was about to stand up and thank him, Ying Zheng fiddled with the wine cup in his hand while looking into the distance.
Looking at Xianyang City in the darkness, one could vaguely see the cornice of the palace hidden in the night.
After a moment of silence in the pavilion, Ying Zheng suddenly said.
"Old General is the pillar of the Great Qin Empire. In your opinion, is Fusu worthy of this great responsibility? If not, who among my many descendants would be able to continue Great Qin?”While he was saying these words, Ying Zheng was thinking about what Wang Jian had said in the Qilin Palace during the day.
'As long as I, Great Qin, am here, even if the Six Nations rise again, there's nothing to worry about!'
What if he was no longer around?
As time went by, Ying Zheng gradually felt that he was unable to do what he wanted, and he no longer had any hope of immortality.
However, what would happen to the seemingly powerful Great Qin that was filled with danger in the future?
Although Wang Jian had not expected that Ying Zheng would summon him into the palace late at night to ask him this question.
However, he did not have the slightest misgivings. As the most senior minister of the Qin State, he could indeed give Ying Zheng some good advice on such a question, apart from expressing his stance.
Therefore, Wang Jian put away his usual nonchalance. At this moment, it was as if he had returned to the general of the Qin country who had devoured the various countries.
"Only Young Master Fusu can protect the city!”
He did not say anything else, but Ying Zheng understood everything.
He nodded and completely forgot about Huhai's appearance.
Thinking of the return of the eastern tour, he decided to make Fu Su the crown prince!
So be it if he was the ruler of the city!
He hoped that Fusu could really eliminate the hidden dangers of the six states…As the two of them were drinking in the dark, and the cool breeze blowing from the lake was blowing in their faces, Ying Zheng began to talk about the difficulties he had faced in the past.
From Zhao becoming a hostage, to eliminating Prime Minister Lu Buwei, and then unifying the six countries.
"Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, Zhang Han's voice came from the darkness outside the pavilion.
Perhaps he was worried that Wang Jian was here, so Zhang Han did not continue speaking.
Frowning, Ying Zheng signaled Wang Jian not to leave.
"Speak!"
Zhang Han's voice sounded in the darkness.
" Today, there are some new people in Xianyang. The Black Ice Platform has detected that these people have never been to Xianyang before. Moreover, these people have a close relationship with each other, just like the Black Ice Platform. Also…"
At this point, the darkness outside the pavilion paused for a moment before continuing.
"Today, the Black Ice Platform from Yong City reported that an army has appeared outside Yong City. It seems to be under the command of Young Master Zhao Chen.”
"This subject guessed that perhaps those strangers who entered Xianyang were Ninth Young Master's secret agents!”
After Zhang Han finished speaking, other than the gentle breeze blowing from the lake, the lakeside pavilion instantly fell into silence. Ying Zheng's face darkened. He did not expect that this ninth son whom he had never met before had actually developed some of his own forces!
Wang Jian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly felt that perhaps this Great Qin's Ninth Young Master, who many people did not know about, might be able to give them a surprise.
