My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 398: The grudge is too deep, it’s impossible not to kill

"Meng Yi thought that the king was deceived by the villain. I didn't expect it to be like this." Meng Yi looked like he suddenly realized it. When he looked back at Ying Zheng, he could only see Ying Zheng's figure.

Ying Zheng knew very well what Zhao Gao had done, and he just planned to settle the accounts in the future and wait until Zhao Gao was done with him before dealing with him.

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi with concern in his eyes.

Because the young man in front of him had unintentionally offended a lot of people and done a lot of things he shouldn't have done while proving his loyalty to himself.

This Zhao Gao, when he got involved in the prince's affairs, I have already taught him a lesson.

It's just that this time Meng Yi pointed out that all the crimes were punishable by death.

But among these high-ranking people in the palace, none of them are greedy for profit or have an affair with the palace maid.

If they are all saints and do not commit any crimes, do they deserve to have criminal laws set up for their crimes?

On the one hand, harsh punishments are constantly advocated, on the other hand, the practice of bending the law for personal gain has never ceased. This contradiction has never ended.

But this contradiction has never been questioned. Everyone believes that punishment is the most effective way to deal with bad guys.

The queen was naturally aggrieved, "Does the king doubt my concubine's intentions?"

Meng Yi didn't expect that what Ying Zheng gave him would be a harmonious outcome.

Ying Zheng once wanted to create an ideal world, but later he found that it was impossible to achieve it with human power and had to give up; but many years later, when he met another person who had the same ideals as he did when he was young, Ying Zheng wanted to fulfill Meng Yi's dream. once.

Ying Zheng saw the queen crying. He was angry and helpless. With the queen's ability, it was hard to kill chickens, but she still wanted to kill people. It was simply nonsense.

Ying Zheng Kuan widened his sleeves and said, "If we mobilize the troops to impeach Zhao Gao like this, if we don't punish him, everyone will definitely be unwilling to accept it. But for these crimes, if we don't punish him, it won't be enough to warn everyone."

As a king, Ying Zheng used to turn a blind eye to these things. Even as a king, Ying Zheng cannot completely change a person.

"His crime should be punished, and his family will sit together."

Ying Zheng knew exactly what the construction of the country meant.

This was very different from what the king he always respected and admired should do.

Meng Yi was very disappointed.

It is no exaggeration to say that Meng Yi now feels that the mountain in his mind has suddenly become unclear, and the sky has quietly changed.

But there's nothing to be afraid of. After all, in the king's mind, his status is no less than his.

What made the queen angry was that Ying Zheng actually came to teach her a lesson in person.

"I will abandon my position as a regular attendant and resume my position as a daily doctor."

Ying Zheng put his hands on his hips and said, "This matter is all your fault. But I won't care about you anymore. This matter is over now. You are not allowed to interfere in anything in the past. Please stay in the palace to recover."

The queen sitting behind the curtain couldn't help coughing twice. She was really frightened by Ying Zheng's behavior, "Your Majesty is so convinced of his decision. I have advised you several times, and this time I asked your courtiers to come forward, but Your Majesty always refused." Decided not to kill Zhao Gao."

Everyone knew that Meng Yi went to impeach Zhao Gao, but the king still did not have the heart to kill him.

Meng Yi looked up, his eyes full of doubts.

The loss of people here is not over yet, Meng Yi still has to go meet the queen.

In order to avoid the recurrence of rebellions like in the past in the palace and ensure that everyone in the palace is loyal to him, Ying Zheng spent a lot of time and effort to create such a sharp sword as Zhao Gao. The goal is not yet half achieved, so this is what he needs to do. Ying Zheng was unwilling and unable to kill him.

The queen said slowly, "I am in the palace, and my status prevents me from intervening in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Moreover, Zhao Gao is the king's internal minister, and his power comes entirely from the king's trust in him. The ministers in the dynasty are all from famous people in the world. people."

But in this case, if Zhao Gao was punished and other people who committed the same crime were not punished, the others must be dissatisfied.

After meeting the queen, Meng Yi said bluntly, "It's really hard for me to imagine that even though we jointly presented the memorial, it didn't shake Zhao Gao's position in the heart of the king."

"The queen was living a carefree life in the harem, so why did she have to run out and intervene in the affairs of the previous dynasty? The palace was originally peaceful, but you turned it upside down."

"But queen, what can I do to help the king?"

But what Meng Yi was waiting for this time was Ying Zheng's cold words, "Okay, step back."

"According to the law, what kind of crime should Zhao Gao be punished?"

In fact, at a deeper level, it is because the law can protect the interests of those in power.

Everyone was waiting outside the palace in a daze. When they saw Meng Yi coming out, he shook his head at them. Both groups of loyal and upright people and those who pretended to be upright felt cold.

Meng Yi indeed praised Ying Zheng, "The king is wise."

Meng Yi's idea is very simple, he will get rid of villains whenever he sees them. But Ying Zheng always has to consider a lot. Even if the starting point of his considerations is always selfish desires, he can stand tall and have an overview of the overall situation.

Either pretend not to see it, or catch them all.

Meng Yi bowed and said, "Queen, don't worry. If Zhao Gao does something bad in the future, I will be the first one not to let him go."

"I think even if Zhao Gao wants to do something, the minister of the DPRK will not agree. Please do more work for me, doctor, to guard against Zhao Gao."

After this incident, Meng Yi admired the queen who had always been low-key and almost invisible. But what the queen saw with her sharp eyes also made Meng Yi feel troubled.

"Zhao Gao is a very treacherous villain. He failed to kill him again and again, which will definitely make him wary. From this point of view, it is a certainty that the king will be troubled by Zhao Gao in the future. .”

Early the next morning, the news spread throughout the palace.

But looking at Meng Yi, who has a loyal and upright character, clear eyes, and sharp words, Ying Zheng made a decision that went against his own knowledge and objective status quo.

Everything Ying Zheng has now is a chess game that has been laid out step by step, piece by piece over the past few decades. Eliminating the chess piece closest to him will do more harm than good.

Now that Meng Yi has measured Zhao Gao's status in Ying Zheng's mind, he understands that he will have another enemy in the palace in the future.

A true leader is always good at exerting his influence to suppress evil and promote good.

The queen held her breath in her heart, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She lay on the couch, turned over and stopped talking to King Qin.

When Ying Zheng saw this, he still didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

However, although his queen is a bit stupid, the queen loves him, and that is enough.

Ying Zheng felt confident and even after coaxing the queen twice, he still didn't see the queen's good looks, so he felt even more depressed. He only felt that the queen was no different from the women outside the palace.

Ying Zheng didn't stay much, he had many things to do.

As soon as Ying Zheng walked away with his front legs, a eunuch quickly walked through the path to Heng Yang Palace.

This eunuch was a confidant trained by Feng, who came to the palace to help Feng Wanwan.

The eunuch's name is Yu Jiao. In the Gantang Palace, the eunuch in black robe lowered his head and whispered to the pregnant woman in yellow. The relationship between the King of Qin and the Queen was the most curious and interesting thing for lower-ranking people like them.

No one expected that the always serious King Qin would act like this in front of the Queen.

Feng Wanwan listened with a slight smile on her lips.

She can now conclude that the relationship between the king and the queen has not broken down, and the relationship between the two people is still strong. With this, the prince is safe.

"Ma'am, that's the situation."

After Feng Wanwan heard everything, she had to sigh, "The water here is so deep!"

"Zhao Gao is a popular figure in front of the king. If the queen wants to get rid of Zhao Gao, she will inevitably attract a large number of people who want to replace Zhao Gao. The queen has a good personal relationship with Mengshi, and she has joined forces with Mengshi to make this matter bigger, forcing the king to A decision had to be made.”

"In order to control Zhao Gao, the king still re-employs him, so he would rather lose his reputation and still choose to cover up publicly. In this way, the king can avoid offending both parties. However, this will inevitably lead to hostility between the two parties."

Yu Jiao smiled and said, "Madam's analysis is still thorough. But Madam, the king has suppressed the matter for the time being. Does Madam want to intervene in this matter again?"

"I am not only the crown prince's wife, but also the daughter-in-law of the king and the queen. Originally, I didn't care much about this Zhao Gao, but after hearing the whole story, I feel that the queen is right. This Zhao Gao is by no means an ordinary person. "

Yu Jiao smiled, "Madam, no one in the palace is simple. And those who can become popular around the king are not simple."

Feng Wanwan just smiled, "Well said. It shows that you also know the other famous people around the king. Since Zhao Gao is not simple, then we will look for someone who is even more simple than Zhao Gao."

Yu Jiao's face looked troubled.

"Madam, this..."

"What, are you feeling embarrassed?"

Yu Jiao bowed and said, "I'm sorry to speak so bluntly. Madam is pregnant, so she shouldn't worry about such shadowy things in the palace. Moreover, the king's behavior means that even the queen is not allowed to interfere with the political affairs of the previous dynasty. If madam is involved..."

Feng Wanwan looked sternly, "Because I am the crown prince's wife, so I can't participate openly. Wouldn't it be better to find someone to do things for us? Now so many people are waiting for Zhao Gao to take over, so this is our best option. Opportunity."

"More importantly, the prince is about to go on an expedition. Do you know what it means to the prince if this matter is not handled well?"

"The prince is about to go on an expedition. This time he is attacking Chu. The prince is under pressure. There are mountains of swords and seas of fire on the opposite side. If something happens in the palace at this time, it will be a sword stabbing the prince's back."

"If something happens to the prince, the clan will definitely be affected. When the time comes, neither you, me, nor him will be able to escape."

Feng Wanwan's expression was grim, and she wished she could eat the person in front of her alive.

"Ma'am, calm down."

Yu Jiao agreed.

"I'll do it now, little man."

"By the way, please do not let the prince know about these things."

Yu Jiao was afraid of these women in the palace. They all seemed gentle and submissive on weekdays, but if they really provoked them, they would do anything. "Why? Wouldn't telling the prince help the prince to be on guard?"

Feng Wanwan said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will take care of the prince's family affairs, so that the prince can concentrate on the battlefield."
-

In the Cardinal's Pavilion, Fu Su was sitting with Zhang Cang.

"I have asked your father for permission to take you with me on this expedition. Different from the past, this time I plan to entrust you with an important task. You will be responsible for supervising the army's food and grass."

"I thank the prince for your recommendation."

"You have never done any of these things. If you are directly asked to supervise me, are you qualified? The people I recommend must do their best in what they do."

"Prince, don't worry, I will never let the food and grass go missing in the slightest."

After Fusu finished his instructions, he still felt uneasy.

The maid on one side brought ginseng tea, and Zhang Cang couldn't help but ask, "Is the prince worried about anything? In the past, the prince never drank these turbid things."

"The troops are about to be dispatched. I wonder what it will be like when I come back next time?"

Fusu is uneasy about the huge changes that are about to happen in the future.

He didn't know if he was doing the right thing, but the next battle might be his only chance to cultivate his power in the army in the future.

Zhang Cang listened with both ears pricked up. He understood the prince's difficulty, "Heaven's actions are always constant. It will not survive for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie. The fate is determined by heaven, so why should the prince be afraid?"

Fusu's eyes were dark and deep. This great opportunity was coming to his head. Whether he could catch it or not was a big problem!

"I'm not afraid of fate. I'm afraid that I alone can't bear the life and death of our Qin army's 400,000 soldiers. If we hadn't fought the Chu army before and killed 100,000 Chu soldiers, this time we fight against Chu, our Qin army would probably be outnumbered. There is no absolute advantage.”

Feng Jing looked at Fusu, he didn't expect the prince to say this.

Feng Jing looked at the halberd in his hand and couldn't help but think to himself, putting the life and death of the soldiers first, this is the magnanimity that a commander should have.

I'm still far from it.

"Prince, you have such a big heart, God will definitely help the prince."

Guan Fu said happily, "That's right. This battle between Qin and Chu is an opportunity for a showdown. God will definitely give the prince a chance to win."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Fusu looked at the people in the palace, Xin, Zhang Cang, Guan Fu and Feng Jing.

Although there are few people, they are all trustworthy people.

But compared with Ying Zheng's team, this is really far behind.

At night, Fusu was still thinking about these things. Until another wave of secrets about Xianyang Palace broke out and reached his ears.

Only then did Fusu learn that Meng Yi's advice to Ying Zheng to punish Zhao Gao was rejected.

"Are these news true?"

Xin said seriously, "It's absolutely true. It was all reported by the eunuchs around the queen. His information has always been reliable. He has repeatedly told the outside world that these things must not be spread to the outside world, which shows that it is eight percent true."

After Xin told the news, he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Prince, I'm afraid I won't be able to go with the prince this time when you go on an expedition."

Fusu raised his eyebrows, "Because of Zhao Gao?"

"I have always known that Zhao Gao is treacherous, and now this is a unique opportunity. I hope to eradicate this treacherous minister and restore integrity to the palace."

Those dreams that have been accumulated in the heart for many years and have not been completed have long since become a sharp sword, just waiting for the opportunity to swing it out.
