Chapter 336: The First Emperor: You can kill him first and tell him later!
He immediately rushed to the eldest son's house with a bunch of nourishing supplies to visit his daughter.

When she learned that her mother-in-law had arrived, Mi Ji, who was talking to Empress Zheng, immediately complained to Empress Zheng and went out to greet her in person with Wang Nan, Li Shu and others.Zhao Ying, who was about to leave for the palace, had to stop temporarily.

Zhao Ying's mother-in-law, Gongsun, was from the country of Zhao, which was rich in beauties.She is also quite charming herself, Jiaye is slim and slim, and standing together with Li Shu, they are like a pair of sisters. Compared with Li Shu, she is not only indistinguishable, but also has a bit more maturity and elegance.

Zhao Ying actually had nothing to say to his old mother-in-law, whom he had not met a few times. Apart from a few polite words, he had nothing to say.

Fortunately, Mi Ji and Empress Zheng were there, so there was no need for his son-in-law to go into battle in person and chat with them.

Just sit there and be a mascot.

Fortunately, the old mother-in-law was also discerning. After being polite to Empress Zheng and Mi Ji for a while, she saw Zhao Ying sitting there quietly and took the initiative to say with a smile.

"His Royal Highness is busy with official duties. If you have something to do, just go and do your work. It is not convenient for us women to talk to you, a grown man, here..."

Empress Zheng also smiled and waved her hand.

"Ying'er, state affairs are of paramount importance. Your eldest father is still waiting for you in the palace. Since your mother-in-law said so, just go and do your work..."

Once Empress Zheng opened her mouth like this, no one dared to stay.

Zhao Ying also smiled and stood up to say goodbye.

You must enter the palace as soon as possible. If you don't enter the palace, you won't know who will come later. Then, as the male master, you should not think about going out.

In fact, it was exactly as he expected.

As soon as he left the house, some well-informed customers began to come to the door in an endless stream.

Including, his fourth aunt Zheng who is very eloquent and enthusiastic, and several aunts and aunts who are relatively close to him.After hearing the news that Empress Zheng had personally visited Li Shu at the eldest son's residence early in the morning, everyone came to care for their niece-in-law with various gifts.

They were always friendly and caring, and some even wanted to make a baby kiss.

It was a mess, and there was a lot of disturbance.

Fortunately, Zhao Ying saw the opportunity early and was not blocked at home. Otherwise, it would have been a real headache.

I entered the palace late today.

When he arrived, the First Emperor was already sitting in the side hall and began to deal with government affairs.

However, something is not right in the hall today. Right Chancellor Feng Quji, Left Chancellor Li Si, Shang Qing Meng Yi, Tingwei Sima Hong, the new imperial censor Xi, and the chief manager of Heibingtai Hei all looked serious, and the atmosphere dignified.

Seeing Zhao Ying coming in, everyone stood up and saluted.

The First Emperor's expression could not help but soften a bit, and he motioned for Zhao Ying to sit next to him.After Zhao Ying returned the greetings one by one, he walked to sit down next to the First Emperor, and then the First Emperor waved his hand and motioned for Sima Hong to continue.

Sima Hong then continued.

"...We have conducted repeated analyzes based on the information provided by the Black Manager. The changes in Jiangnan are indeed man-made, but the other party is very cunning. We can't find much useful information. The top priority is to find out who is hiding as soon as possible. The person behind it..."

Speaking of this, Tingwei Sima Hong bowed.

"Wei Chen is requested to go south, to the south of the Yangtze River, to personally investigate - this matter must be concluded as soon as possible, otherwise once the news spreads, it will inevitably lead to unrest among the local people..."

The First Emperor nodded slightly and looked at Li Si aside.

Before Sima Hong took the post of Tingwei, the chief of Tingwei was none other than Li Si, the current left prime minister. Sima Hong was able to successfully take over the position of Tingwei, naturally with the help of Li Si.

Seeing the First Emperor looking at him, Li Si pondered.

"Judging from the current situation, we really need a person who can convince everyone regardless of prestige and ability to go and investigate in person and come up with a result as soon as possible, but..."

Having said this, Li Si couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Sima Hong beside him, and his tone paused slightly.

"There is no doubt about Sima Tingwei's ability, but the changes in the places south of the Yangtze River are related to His Majesty. I am worried that Sima Tingwei's status is not noble enough to convince the local people..."

Li Si's words made Feng Quji, Meng Yi and others nod slightly.

In fact, in their opinion, the best and most convenient way to face this situation is for the First Emperor to go on patrol in person. There is no need to produce any results from the investigation. They only need to go around the place to show the First Emperor's majesty and presence. Some of the false rumors turned out to be self-evident.

Those slight commotions will also be swept away.

But the words of His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun made it very clear that this was a conspiracy by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and they were deliberately leading His Majesty to go on patrol.Naturally, they did not dare to bring up this topic again, but the problem was that one courtier alone, even Tingwei Sima Hong, one of the three ministers and nine ministers, was not enough to calm down the situation.

Hearing this, the First Emperor couldn't help but frown.

He turned his attention to Feng Quji, who was silent.

Feng Quji stood up, without squinting his eyes, and said respectfully.

"The old minister believes that the words of the left prime minister are mature and prudent words. The commotion in various places in the south of the Yangtze River this time has sinister intentions, and the impact must be eliminated as soon as possible. It is also necessary for a noble person with a respected status to come forward to take charge of the overall situation - the old minister privately thinks , it is best to be of His Majesty’s heirs, so that it can adequately represent His Majesty’s divine power...” After saying that, he gave a deep bow and returned to his seat without squinting.

Hearing this, Meng Yi glanced at Feng Quji calmly and saw that Feng Quji's face was as usual. He was sitting there, looking at his nose and heart with his eyes, and there was nothing unusual about him.

But the atmosphere in the hall instantly became a little subtle.

Even Zhao Ying couldn't help but raise his head slightly and glance at him.

The First Emperor nodded slightly noncommittally and looked at Meng Yi aside.

"What do you think, Mr. Meng?"

Meng Yi pondered for a moment, lowered his head and said.

"My minister seconded the proposal."

The First Emperor nodded again and turned his gaze back to Li Si.

"Who does Mr. Li think among my descendants can take on this responsibility?"

As soon as the First Emperor said this, the atmosphere in the side hall instantly condensed. Many people held their breath slightly and subconsciously glanced at the emperor's grandson who looked calm and smiling.

Li Si bowed slowly.

"I believe that after looking at the bloodline of His Majesty's descendants, in terms of prestige, ability, and influence, there is no one who can surpass the emperor's eldest grandson. If His Highness the emperor's eldest grandson can go to preside over the overall situation, he will be able to intimidate Xiao Xiao, eliminate the influence, and win over people's hearts..."

His Majesty the First Emperor had many heirs, but only four of them stood out.

The eldest son, Fusu, was the most prestige, ability, and influence among all the other sons. Logically speaking, it was most appropriate for him to go. However, he had already been expelled from Xianyang by the First Emperor, and he was still serving as his supervisor in Shangjun.

Even if the emperor's eldest grandson rose to prominence later, His Majesty still had no intention of letting him come back.

Nature is not within the scope of choice.

What's more, even if he had been recalled to Xianyang, Li Si would never recommend this young master who was bent on moving closer to Confucianism.

The third son, General Lu, is more than brave but lacking in resourcefulness; the fourth son is tall, gentle and easy-going, but lacks means.But his reputation and ability are not enough to take on big responsibilities, not to mention that now one is sitting in Kuaiji and the other is sailing out to sea, so he cannot move lightly.

The [-]th Young Master Hu Hai originally had enough reputation, but now he has become a prisoner among his subordinates and is confined to his own residence by His Majesty.

In the entire Xianyang, only the emperor's eldest grandson was left at the height of his power.

Although he was quite dissatisfied with the emperor's eldest grandson's advocating new learning and appointing Confucians and Mohists, the emperor's eldest grandson never showed any resistance to the self-study of Legalism.

Although the government of Hexi adopted some Confucian and Mohist methods and employed some Confucian and Mohist people, at its core, it was still Legalist in content.

If the eldest son comes to power, Legalism will decline. If the emperor's eldest grandson comes to power, Legalism's status may be weakened, but the overall pattern will not change much.

The most important thing is His Majesty's thoughts.

How can you treat the emperor's eldest grandson like a normal father would treat his grandson?

It was clear that he was preparing to elevate the emperor's eldest grandson to the throne.

Li Si is not a fool!

If you take action at this time, you can still get some capital for yourself.

Sure enough, before Li Si finished speaking, the First Emperor showed a smile of approval on his face.

"In this case, I will follow the advice of your ministers!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Ying aside and said with a smile.

"Ying'er, I'll leave this matter to you..."

Zhao Ying stood up and bowed.

"Promise! I will fulfill my mission——"

The First Emperor nodded.

He reached out to take off the long sword from his waist and handed it to Zhao Ying casually.

"In this case, I will temporarily appoint you as the governor-general of the Jiangnan counties. You will be responsible for mobilizing troops, demoting officials, and rectifying the administration of officials in response to the affairs of the Jiangnan counties. If there is an emergency, you can hold this sword. You can kill it first and show it later!"
