Ying Zheng quickly took two steps forward and grabbed the memorial.
This place was very far from Xianyang City. Even if it was 800 miles away, it was difficult to get the latest news immediately. The news was somewhat delayed.
In the beginning, Qin Shihuang's gaze was still very calm, but as he read through the memorial, a touch of astonishment, shock, and disbelief appeared on his face.
Bang!
The wine cup in Qin Shi Huang's hand fell to the ground and broke into two halves.
The teapot on the table was flipped over, and the water spilled all over the ground, soaking the robe.
Qin Shihuang ignored it and stared at the memorial.
After reading it for a long time, he numbly threw the memorial to Meng Yi.
"Impossible, this is definitely not the idea that Old Jiu came up with. Who is behind this? Could it be that there is another expert?”
Like a nightmare, Ying Zheng kept muttering in a low voice.
Who was he?
The first emperor of the ages, Qin Shi Huang!
When have you ever been so pale?
Even during those dark and turbulent years, he was still as calm as water.
Ying Zheng's expression changed again and again, and his hands were trembling faintly.
The memorials recorded everything that had happened during this period of time.
More than 90% of the words were about the Proclamation of Grace issued by Ying Tian.
"Qin II, Ying Tian, has bestowed grace upon the world. He has issued a decree of grace. From top to bottom of the dynasty, regardless of the three dukes, nine ministers, county magistrates, legitimate sons, and concubines, all of them can split their assets equally and enjoy the right to inherit official positions and land!”
Meng Yi quickly took a step forward, grabbed the bamboo slip, and muttered with a trembling voice.
In the end, the bamboo slip fell to the ground with a bang. He did not even realize it.
Both Meng Yi and Ying Zheng were not ordinary people. They had been officials in the court for many years, and their eyelashes were empty. Who was not an old fox?
He was used to seeing all kinds of schemes.
However, this token of gratitude was clearly an open scheme.
Ying Tian had given the order in front of all the officials, but no one could do anything to him.
From now on, the sons of all the officials in the aristocratic families would be Ying Tian's guards.
Because only with Ying Tian's existence could the Decree of Grace be carried out. Once something happened to him, all the benefits that they had obtained would be destroyed.
How could anything happen on such a cloudy day?
"Who exactly is it? Who exactly has Ninth Brother interacted with all these years? Go and investigate for Zhen.”Ying Zheng murmured in a low voice.
Even so, he knew very well that Ying Tian had been living in seclusion in the Imperial Palace all these years, and the number of people he had seen could be counted on one hand.
It was precisely because of this that Ying Zheng was so shocked.
It was hard to imagine how Ying Tian, who was as intelligent as a demon, had endured for so many years.
"Your Majesty, young master is a genius. This old man has been an official in the court for many years, but I have never seen such a person.”
Meng Yi trembled as he picked up his teacup and downed it in one gulp, suppressing the shock in his heart.
It would be difficult for him to recover in a short period of time.
This plan was truly too vicious. He could even imagine the expressions of all the officials in the court.
"Ninth Brother is really too vicious. I'm afraid that all the senses hate him to death.”
"But now that it's a chaotic world, this method can just pacify the world.”
"In a short period of time, those officials and families who have any ill intentions will not dare to jump up and down again.”
"What Old Nine needs now is time. With his intelligence, as long as he has enough time, he will definitely be able to control the Imperial Court.”
Ying Zheng took two deep breaths, and gradually calmed down.
His expression became extremely strange.
Although they weren't in court, one could guess how exasperated those officials were.
Brother Zheng, who was about to leave the mountain, stopped his plans and had a trace of anticipation in his heart.
It seemed that Old Nine was much smarter than he had imagined. He was definitely not that simple.
As for why he had been enduring all these years, he really did not know.
"Your Majesty, if the Ninth Young Master had entered the Imperial Court earlier, his position would not have been lower than this old minister's, and might even have been higher.”Meng Yi smiled bitterly.
Compared to ordinary people, he knew better how terrifying the Token of Grace was.
Great Qin had existed for nearly 600 years, and it had far too many large families.
Although he had used the military merit system, some family heads had used loopholes in the law to wantonly increase their military achievements on the battlefield. How could he not know about these things?
It was just that some things affected a wide range, and a slight change in one part affected the whole body.
But from today onwards, everything was different.
The Badge of Grace was like a knife, cutting off the flesh of these large families one by one until they finally fell apart.
The wealth and power that they had accumulated over the years would all be divided equally among their children.
Thinking of this.
Meng Yi couldn't help but shiver and gulp.
Luckily, Meng tribe had only one heir since ancient times, so there was no need to worry.
"This kid's ambition is far greater than we imagined. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even put Zhao Gao in his eyes. He's laying a foundation for Great Qin.”
Ying Zheng stood up, with his hands behind his back, his eyes turning dark.
With the Decree of Grace, not to mention ten years, even if a hundred years passed, Great Qin would not be able to shake it.
Unless there were more than ten generations of bad emperors, the world would forever be surnamed Ying!
Because as long as there was a token of gratitude, it was impossible for a big family to rise.
"I'm looking forward to it even more. I wonder what Old Nine can do to the Imperial Court.”
