Seeing Wang Ben's pitiful expression, the evil First Emperor was finally satisfied.
Then, he looked at Yingzhan in a good mood and said,"Duke of Xianyang, tell me about the remaining two requests. As long as you can do it, you must satisfy them!”
When Ying Zhan heard this, he smiled mysteriously."I haven't thought of the remaining two requests yet, but this promise is enough.
The emperor's words were like gold and jade. His Majesty should not regret it, right?”
When Ying Zhan said this, the First Emperor was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Ying Zhan to suddenly call him Your Majesty!
Looking at Ying Zhan's harmless smile, the First Emperor instantly realized that Ying Zhan had seen through his disguise and guessed his identity!
Although he didn't know how Ying Zhan had seen through it, it was an indisputable fact that the identity of the First Emperor had been seen through!
The First Emperor felt awkward and didn't know whether he should continue to interact with Yingzhan as Wang Ben or as the First Emperor.
"Cough cough, how did the Marquis of Xianyang see through my identity?”
The First Emperor suppressed his awkwardness and asked in confusion.
Since he had already been recognized, there was no need to hide his title.
"After I answered Your Majesty's question about how I viewed the First Emperor, I was able to tell that I was not the first emperor.”
Ying Zhan calmly said," At that time, I praised the First Emperor as the most talented emperor in history. His Majesty was so happy that it was beyond the scope of being a minister and being honored."
Therefore, I had some guesses.
At the same time, the two generals beside His Majesty, Wang Yu and Wang Shi, were the Marquis of Wucheng, Wang Jian, and the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Ben.
Besides the Emperor, there was no one else who could make Marquis Wucheng and Marquis Tongwu serve him.
Thinking back to the previous court meeting, Qin Shi Huang had used a curtain to hide his face.
General Wang Jian and General Wang Ben were hiding in a corner, as if they were afraid of being recognized.
It all makes sense now. His Majesty had been pretending to be General Wang Ben since the beginning, and he didn't want me to recognize him.”
After hearing Ying Zhan's answer, the First Emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that he would be exposed because of this question…
To think that the First Emperor thought that the explanation he gave at that time was reasonable and convincing…
The First Emperor felt helpless.
A child's intelligence was indeed something to be proud of, but being too smart was also a problem. It was not easy to deceive.
It had been less than a month since he met Yingzhan.
They had only met a total of three or four times, and they had thought that they could disguise themselves for a few more days. They hadn't expected Yingzhan to see through them so quickly.
"Since the Marquis of Xianyang knew that I wanted to hide my identity and get along with you, why did you expose me?
Aren't you afraid that I'll be unhappy?"
The First Emperor deliberately put on a stern face.
"If His Majesty was the kind of ruler who would get angry easily, he wouldn't have hidden his identity and interacted with me for so many days.”
Ying Zhan smiled neither obsequiously nor arrogantly.
Of course, he knew that the First Emperor was pretending to be Wang Ben because he didn't want to reveal his identity, but he was smart enough to point it out.
Because Yingzhan himself looked serious, but he was actually a black-bellied person.
He also knew that the first emperor in history was also a black-bellied person.
Although he didn't know why the First Emperor wanted to hide his identity and get along with him, when the Emperor and he became friends regardless of age, sometimes, it was very likely that he would disregard the dignity of the Emperor and do shameless things like bullying the weak!
To put it nicely, there was no need to pay attention to those formalities between close friends.
However, revealing the identity of the First Emperor eliminated this hidden danger of being scammed!
Even if the emperor wanted to trick him, he had to take into account his status. It was not good to be too obvious!
That was why Ying Zhan would rather act too smart and expose the identity of the First Emperor.
Of course, after these few days of interaction, Yingzhan also understood some of the First Emperor's personality.
Judging from the fact that he could impersonate Wang Ben, the First Emperor was not the kind of person who would keep his distance from strangers.
Even if he did, the First Emperor would at most be a little unhappy and not blame him.
Therefore, revealing the identity of the First Emperor was beneficial to winning the battle.
On the contrary, he pretended not to know and pretended to be ignorant. Once he was tricked, it would be too late for regret.
Just like the real Wang Ben, who had been pretending to be stupid and blamed the First Emperor for his mistake.
In fact, the First Emperor had found an excuse to drag Wang Ben into the trap…
At this moment, Wang Ben finally realized what was going on,"So, the Marquis of Xianyang knew that His Majesty was His Majesty and I was Wang Ben?
Was the Marquis of Xianyang trying to trick me by asking for repayment for the aftermath of the flood?
I have no enmity with the Marquis of Xianyang, so why did you set me up like this…"
Wang Ben felt so wronged that he was about to cry.
He thought that if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't offend Ying Zhan. However, he didn't expect that the other party had already seen through his identity. He even pretended not to know and tricked him at his own game…
"Marquis Tongwu, that's not right. I'm helping you. How can I scam you?
Marquis Tongwu had flooded Daliang in order to unify Great Qin. On the battlefield, it was inevitable to use military tactics.
However, the land of Wei was now a county of the Great Qin Empire. Because of the flood in Daliang, many of the citizens of the land of Wei were trying to backstab Marquis Tong Wu.
Marquis Tong Wu was cursed for the Great Qin, and I also felt wronged for Marquis Tong Wu.
If Marquis Tong Wu can personally oversee the Wei Land and help the people of the Wei Land to relieve the people, firstly, it will be a good deed for himself. Secondly, he will be able to gain the gratitude of the people of the Wei Land and dispel his infamy…"
Ying Zhan replied to Wang Ben with a straight face.
He did use the First Emperor's Hand to push Wang Ben into the arena because he didn't want to attract the attention of the other superpowers.
However, Yingzhan was right, Wang Ben's trip to the Land of Wei was beneficial for him.
Of course, it would only offend the world's powerful people.
However, for Wang Jian and Wang Ben, there was no harm in offending the world's strongest.
After all, they were important officials of the empire and the leaders of the military. Even if the world's powerful people were dissatisfied, they could not do anything to them.
After all, Wang Jian and Wang Ben didn't even dare to make a sound when they destroyed their country.
The more people he offended, the more stable his position would be.
This was also why when Wang Jian destroyed Chu, he kept asking for money from the First Emperor to defile himself.
Think about it, if a powerful official had no shortcomings and was on good terms with everyone, then even the good-tempered king would not not think too much about it…
"This old man thanks the Marquis of Xianyang!"
Wang Ben might not have thought of it, but Wang Jian did.
Although Wang Jian knew that Ying Zhan had set Wang Ben up so that he wouldn't be hated by the powerful people, he knew that Wang Ben was the one who had set him up.
However, Ying Zhan's actions had also helped the Wang Consortium without a trace!
Therefore, Old General Wang Jian was grateful from the bottom of his heart.
As for the First Emperor, he also reacted at this moment.
Not only did Wang Ben get cheated by Ying Zhan, but he also had to thank Ying Zhan.
Even the First Emperor himself had been tricked by Ying Zhan!
Because just now, the First Emperor had inadvertently made a promise to Yingzhan to fulfill two of his requests!
Not as Wang Ben, but as the First Emperor!
The First Emperor couldn't help but laugh in anger. This kid was really a scammer…
However, the First Emperor was still in a good mood because he knew that Ying Zhan still dared to trick him after knowing his identity.
It was a form of trust in itself, a manifestation of no estrangement!
Therefore, even if he were to interact with this kid as the emperor, he did not have to worry about becoming unfamiliar with him…
Therefore, the First Emperor, who was in a good mood after being cheated, and Wang Ben and Wang Jian, who had to count the money for the victory, stayed in Xianyang Pavilion for a meal.
However, Yingzhan treated them to hotpot this time…
"Hiss…It's really spicy…But it's quite satisfying…"
The First Emperor drank several cups of honey water to suppress the burning sensation of eating hotpot for the first time.
Then, he looked at Ying Zhan with interest and said,"Marquis of Xianyang, you invented the method to castrate pigs and create Red Braised Meat.
It was also to cultivate high-yield varieties such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.
He also created the spicy hotpot.
Since you're so interested in food, don't be idle. You'll take on the role of internal history.
At the court meeting tomorrow, Zhen will issue an edict to appoint you. You have to do your job well…"
