Just a moment ago, Zhao Gao had thought that Ying Ziyun would definitely be the future heir to the throne, and that Huhai would have no fate with the throne.
However, when he saw Ying Zheng entrust such a thorny and important matter as tax reform to Ying Ziyun, he was shocked.
Zhao Gao's thoughts raced, and he instantly became excited.
Because this represented a new opportunity!
As long as he could mess up Ying Ziyun's tax reform and make Ying Ziyun fall and make a fool of himself.
As long as Ying Ziyun did not do a good job, Ying Zheng would definitely question his strength.
At that time, Ying Ziyun's status as the Crown Prince would no longer be that stable!
Moreover, when facing Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao was truly afraid, a fear that came from the bottom of his heart. He did not dare to go beyond all the rules and etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.
But now, Ying Ziyun was the only one left. Zhao Gao was a real old ghost, so he had no fear of Ying Ziyun at all.
They even started to plan how to play Ying Ziyun to death!
To be honest, Zhao Gao wasn't the only one who was unhappy with Ying Ziyun.
At this moment, Chunyu Yue continued Zhao Gao's words.
"This old man is an honest and upright official. He has been poor all his life and has never been corrupt. Even the salary of the imperial court has been distributed to the poor!”
"Now, Your Highness wants a million taels of wealth. To be honest, I don't even have a hundred taels!”
"But after all, I admit defeat. In order to bet for Your Highness, this old man can only drop this old face and borrow money from friends.”
"The number is huge, and it will take five to six days to gather it all. Therefore, Your Highness should be lenient for some time!”
When he said this, Chun Yue bowed slightly, but from his tone and eyes, it was obvious that he did not have much respect.
He was clearly looking down on Ying Ziyun, but after all, Ying Zheng was still the current Emperor, and he, Chunyu Yue, did not dare to be too rash.
However, Ying Ziyun's reply shocked everyone.
"No problem, you can take as long as you want!”
Ying Ziyun agreed too readily!
This abnormal behavior shocked Zhao Gao and Chen Yuyue. Something must be wrong!
They were prepared to use this opportunity to exchange blows with Ying Ziyun. However, Ying Ziyun had dodged them and they missed!
"Where is Meng Yi?"
Just as Chunyu Yue and Zhao Gao were still in shock, Ying Ziyun suddenly shouted," Broken Crane!" His expression was solemn.
"I'm here!"
Meng Yi suddenly took a step forward, cupped his fists, and solemnly replied!
"Come and receive the sword!"
Ying Ziyun pushed the Ancestral Dragon Sword forward.""Before sunset, Zhao Gao and Chunyu Yue, one million gold taels. If one and a half taels are missing, your family will be confiscated and beheaded!”
"Moreover, from now on, you will follow behind this young master and listen to my orders at all times!”
Ying Ziyun trusted Meng Yi so much and even dared to give him the Ancestral Dragon Sword.
It was because when the ministers objected to the heavy taxes, Meng Yi, Zhang Han, and Wang Ben did not object.
Furthermore, Ying Ziyun knew that in the fight for the throne, the entire Meng tribe was supporting Su.
However, this was not a big deal; the Meng family's loyalty to Great Qin could be seen by the heavens and the earth.
"Yes!"
After Meng Yi was stunned for a moment, he became excited and ecstatic.
One had to know that Meng tribe and Zhao Gao had long been at odds with each other. It could be said that they were absolutely mortal enemies and both wanted to kill each other.
However, both of them were deeply favored and valued by Ying Zheng, so they could do nothing to each other.
But now, the situation had changed!
Before sunset, if Zhao Gao could not gather enough gold, Meng Yi could hold the Ancestral Dragon Sword and charge straight into the Zhao Residence!
Moreover, the wielder of the Ancestral Dragon Sword had the right to kill first and report later, and that was what Ying Zheng had said himself!
Now, he had taken over the Ancestral Dragon Sword from Ying Ziyun, which meant that he had taken over the power of life and death!
"This!"
"You…"
Ying Ziyun actually used the Ancestral Dragon Sword and handed it to his arch-enemy, Meng Yi.
Zhao Gao's face instantly darkened!
He, Zhao Gaojiao, had a huge grudge against the Meng family. He had long fought openly and secretly, but he could not be too ruthless.
Now, if he didn't gather a million before sunset, Zhao Gao felt that Meng Yi would really charge into his residence and kill everyone!
Therefore, Zhao Gao was extremely furious!
Even so, he still didn't dare to get angry. At this point, if Ying Ziyun got hold of him, everything would be over.
Ying Ziyun looked at Zhao Gao. He had already guessed what Zhao Gao was thinking, so he snorted coldly!
"This Young Master has always been a man of his word. This is the first time I'm presiding over an early court session. I hope that the two of you can at least give me some face and not embarrass me!”
"Furthermore, this Young Master has already been very patient and tolerant. You can hand over a million gold coins whenever you want.”
"Oh, right, I hope you can survive tonight!”
Ah, uncomfortable. Is there really no one watching?
It had been a day, but there was no change in the data. The collection seemed to be finished.
