Everyone opened the cork of the glass bottle with curiosity, and it didn't take long for the hall to be filled with fragrance.

Everyone was shocked, they were no strangers to spices, but the aroma of this bottle was too strange.

Although the spice is fragrant, the effect is far less than the liquid in this bottle?

"Your Majesty, what kind of artifact is this?"

Everyone looked at Yingzheng on the throne and said in shock.

"The secret perfume of the palace is far more effective than incense and spices. These things are the big deals I have to do with you. ”

Ying Zheng said casually, as if telling a trivial matter.

A group of people all showed fiery eyes, which of them has not been immersed in business for many years, and the business opportunities are endless!

"Xiaomin is brave, may I ask Your Majesty, how to do this sale?"

Although the Wu clan specializes in animal husbandry, it also has a little side business, so naturally it is unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity.

Because of the long-term provision of war horses and livestock for the empire, the Wu clan is also more confident than other merchants.

"There are just a few priceless treasures here, and there are a lot of rouge gouache, silk and satin, porcelain and jade and a series of daily necessities, I don't know how many."

"I know that many of you have trade with Dongyi, Beidi, Nanban, and Xiqiang. All the goods given by the imperial court can be justified and sold to Zhuyi. ”

Ying Zheng's words stirred up a thousand waves.

Everyone was dumbfounded, the imperial court has always strictly forbidden trade with the Quartet, and violators are guilty of capital crimes.

They usually do some shady things secretly, for fear of setting themselves on fire.

After all, those barbarians are short of materials, and smuggling some goods casually is ten times or a hundred times the profit, and they have to take risks.

No one is rich or rich, and a horse is not fertile without night grass!

"Your Majesty, hasn't the imperial court always strictly forbidden to trade with Zhuyi?"

Someone asked a question.

"The imperial court strictly prohibits trade, so don't you sell it secretly for high profits? It's better to be sparse than to be blocked, and it's better to sell it openly. ”

"But there is a word in advance, I will wait for you, if there are still those who smuggle and sell grain and iron without authorization, they will be punished for treason, and the three tribes will be destroyed."

Ying Zheng was full of words, and in the end, the murderous machine was revealed.

"We will follow His Majesty's teachings."

Everyone hurriedly said.

Ying Zheng sneered in his heart, he didn't believe the nonsense of these people, businessmen pursue profits, as long as there are enough benefits, how can they dare not do anything?

It is impossible to ban it completely, as long as it is properly controlled, and a small amount of circulation has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how the imperial court's goods are sold, and what is the profit?"

Excellence asked.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at Ying Zheng, after all, this issue was also what they were most concerned about.

If you are tired and tired, and most of the profits are taken away by the imperial court, then what are you going to do?

"There will be a list of pricing lists for imperial goods, and the price will be uniform. As for how much you can sell to Zhuyi and how high the price you can sell, it depends on your ability. ”

Ying Zheng's tone said leisurely, the more these people sell, the more expensive they are, the more in line with the interests of the Great Qin Empire.

Some consumables, luxury goods, if the energy consumes the strength of the Quartet, it is a good thing for the Great Qin Empire.

If it can be exchanged for livestock and horses, it will be even more pleasing to the Great Qin Empire.

When everyone heard this, they all showed excitement, and this was easy to do.

Most of them have their own channels, do business all year round, and communicate with Biansai Hudi and Qiangyi.

"Your Majesty, can you sell everything except grain and iron?"

A big businessman from Korea couldn't help but ask.

"To be born as a human being, there must be a bottom line after all. If the empire is strong, you can make a fortune. The empire is in decline, and you are just a fat sheep to be slaughtered. What can be sold and what can't be sold, just weigh it yourself. ”

Ying Zheng glanced at the people below, vaguely speaking.

"Your Majesty for 10,000 years, Great Qin for 10,000 years."

Everyone hurriedly said.

"To make a contribution to the country, you don't have to go to the battlefield to fight for your life, and a war without gunpowder smoke can also serve the country."

Ying Zheng pointed out.

"Your Majesty, please."

The crowd was a little confused.

"Although the empire is vast and rich, there are tens of millions of people, the empire has too few livestock, and the empire does not have enough slaves."

"Whoever can get ten horses or fifty slaves or fifty cattle from outside the border can be promoted to a duke of the first class."

Ying Zheng once again threw out a huge temptation to everyone.

The businessmen below were in an instant uproar, although they were rich, but their identities were very embarrassing.

The status of these merchants is the most humble, even if they are rich and rival the country, it is difficult to gain the corresponding respect.

Even if he is polite on the surface, he will still be contemptuous of the businessman in his heart.

But if you can get a knighthood, it's very different.

The empire has always been respected by military merits, even if it is just a small duke, it is also a loyal minister of the empire, and he has meritorious service to the country.

From the government to the neighbors, they will all be impressed and respected.

"Your Majesty is it serious?"

"Can I wait for a merchant to get a knighthood?"

"Great, wherever we go in the future, we businessmen will be able to straighten our backs."

Everyone was excited, and many people's eyes were red and tears were shining.

Although the farmer is poor, he still has merit. Although the businessman is rich, he is as cheap as a mustard.

"You don't have any jokes, you can go to the business camp to discuss the specific matters."

Ying Zheng knows very well that if you want the horse to run fast, there is no reason not to give the horse grass.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Ages, the villain is grateful to all the businessmen in the world."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone bowed their heads and bowed.

"Okay, now that the business is over, we can talk about business."

Ying Zheng had a rare smile on his face, and tried his best to make himself seem gentle.

Still down to business?

Everyone was stunned again, but soon they said in unison: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

"You all know that the borders of the empire are not peaceful, and the granaries of the empire are about to bottom out......"

Ying Zheng wanted to speak and stopped, just right.

None of the merchants below were stupid, and they naturally understood His Majesty's intentions.

Donating money? Donate food?

How much is appropriate?

Your Majesty's meal is not delicious, if you donate less, will it anger Your Majesty?

If you donate too much, your own flesh hurts, hey!

Everyone couldn't help but think about it in their hearts, and they were entangled.

"Great Qin governs the country according to law, and I will not ask for your money and food in vain. I have three sets of unique and priceless treasures in my hands, and you can get the corresponding treasures by donating to the top three. ”

"The top ten will all get a third-class hairpin, and all those who donate money and grain can get a first-class duke."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong immediately comprehended and clapped his hands again.

Immediately, six chamberlains, in groups of two, walked in carrying three jade plates.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were attracted to it, and they all showed shocked looks.

"The first set of Chiyan jade, carefully carved by the arsenal craftsmen, one jade pot and four jade cups."

"The second set is a five-color glazed cup, which is carefully carved by a master craftsman who is famous in Xianyang, and a total of 66 night pearls are inlaid with it."

"The third set is the Qilin Xianrui, which is made by the world-famous court giants, who will be the Shaofu Gong to lose ink, and carefully carved. Its eyes are taken from the East China Sea cloud beads, its lin is mined from the extraterritorial meteorite iron refining, and its tail is made of gilded blood jade. ”

"These three sets are all unique treasures in the world, and there is no second set in the vast world."

Zhao Zhong introduced as he looked at the three treasures with hot eyes.

I really don't know why His Majesty wants to give these three sets of treasures to these vulgar merchants, Zhao Zhong secretly sighed in his heart.

After fierce competition, the three peerless treasures were quickly spent.

After the banquet dispersed, everyone said goodbye to Yingzheng with satisfaction.

After watching everyone leave, Ying Zheng took a list and said with a contemplative look: "How much money did the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and those corrupt officials and corrupt officials confiscate?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, copper coins, gold, jewelry, and property are equivalent to about 14.7 million taels of gold."

Zhao Zhong didn't think about it, and said immediately.

"Plus the income from this time, there are fifteen million taels of gold?"

Ying Zheng frowned and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly."

Zhao Zhong looked at His Majesty's expression and was not happy at all, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that the imperial court is using the money properly, and now there are fifteen million taels of gold, why is Your Majesty unhappy?

"The Great Qin Empire's annual tax is only one million taels of gold, and now the tax has been greatly reduced, and the tax is only a few hundred thousand taels of gold a year."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

However, a group of businessmen can throw a lot of money at will, or even ten thousand dollars.

"If there is no major war, hundreds of thousands of taels of gold are enough for annual expenses, and there is even a surplus."

Zhao Zhong hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"I, the supreme of the world, are not as rich as these businessmen and nobles."

Ying Zheng glanced at the donation list in his hand and said softly.

"The whole world belongs to Your Majesty, who in the world can be richer than Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhong showed a warm smile and complimented.

"The world is mine, but money is not mine."

Ying Zheng put down the list in his hand and said with great meaning.

Zhao Zhong smiled bitterly in his heart, so what should I do?

Can you still grab it from someone's pocket?

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, but continued to smile and said: "The land under heaven is the territory of His Majesty, and the people of the world are His Majesty's subjects, and the money in the world is naturally also His Majesty's money. ”

"The world's money, businessmen and nobles account for most of the money, and the people of the world and I, the lord of the world, only sit on a small half."

Ying Zheng rubbed his temples with his hand, and then sneered.

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and their money is not up to Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhong picked up the jade pot on the table, poured a glass of wine for Ying Zheng, and then picked it up and handed it to Ying Zheng.

"Five million taels of gold will be transferred to the state treasury to cover military expenditures, and the rest will be collected from the inner treasury."

Ying Zheng took the wine in Zhao Zhong's hand, took a sip lightly, and then said.

"Minister, go and do it immediately."

Zhao Zhong immediately bowed his hand and said.

"Go ahead!"

Ying Zheng put down the jade cup, then picked up the piece and continued to read.

In a very short period of time, the rebel forces in various localities were extinguished one by one.

Under the strong suppression of the First Emperor, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms have been in a slump since then.

The vast majority of nobles were implicated, and all of them were exterminated in order to correct the national law.

Under the iron-blooded suppression of the imperial court, countless nobles and wealthy families were wiped out.

Many scholars in the world have scolded His Majesty the First Emperor for being tyrannical and unreasonable.

But after the government executed batch after batch of scholars and scholars, all the literati in the world have understood a truth, no matter how strong the mouth is, it is not stronger than the sword after all. No matter how hard the bones are, they can't be as hard as copper and iron after all.

In November, Xianyang City is snowing heavily, but it is very lively.

The first Enke meeting was held in Xianyang Palace, and His Majesty the First Emperor personally tried the world's scholars in the palace and selected the best to enter the office.

For a time, the eyes of the people of the world were all cast on Xianyang.

After all, since ancient times, official careers have been recommended by honors.

Whether this Enke can be implemented or not is related to the fate of everyone.

Since the Great Qin Empire unified the world, most of the officials to be elected in the court were nobles, or they were protégés of the powerful in the court.

Due to the iron serum of His Majesty the First Emperor sweeping the world, there is an extreme shortage of manpower in various government offices.

However, for Enke this time, it was boycotted by readers all over the world.

Under the merciless butcher's knife, they dare not speak out, and can only resist tyranny in this way.

Zhangtai Palace, Pingtian Palace......

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, and the civil and military officials below all sat honestly below.

"Let's get started!"

Ying Zheng said to Zhao Zhong beside him.

"Your Majesty has a will, and the Jinke Palace test begins."

Zhao Zhong shouted loudly.

Outside the Pingtian Palace, hundreds of scholars from all over the empire were all looking forward to it.

A eunuch with a list in his hand began to roll call.

Soon, a young man wearing a cloth robe walked into the Pingtian Temple.

"The grass people greet Your Majesty."

The cloth-clothed young man walked to the bottom of the hall and immediately bowed to Yingzheng.

"Name, place of origin, who is the teacher?"

Ying Zheng didn't speak, Bai Zhuo asked.

"Ah Lu, a native of Baima County, East County, has no teacher."

Buyi Alu said proudly.

Many people in the Manchu Dynasty forcibly held back their laughter, and their faces were extremely strange.

Ying Zheng's brows furrowed, and he quickly stretched out and said, "Then what books have you read?" What will happen? ”

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of grass people."

Ah Lu said with a serious face.

Oh?

Could it be that you have lost your eyes?

Is this person still a hidden talent?

"Tell me about it."

Ying Zheng asked patiently.

"The grass people are famous in the ten miles and eight townships, and the family letters of the neighbors are all written by the grass people."

"I read more, in addition to the village chronicles, Tian Bo, Ding Bo, and the family letters of the neighbors should also be read by the grass people."

Ah Lu's words were full of pride, and he looked like I was very powerful.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military could no longer hold back, and burst into laughter.

They were really amused by this scholar who came to test.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Your Majesty, the grass people are not boasting, it's all true, I don't believe that Your Majesty can send someone to the grass people's hometown to inquire."

Ah Lu felt that his self-esteem seemed to be hurt, and said sincerely to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng's expression was very cold, looking at the hundred officials who were laughing, and scolded: "Is it funny? ”

"Your Majesty is angry."

Only then did everyone react, and their laughter was not just laughing at this hillbilly.

It has damaged His Majesty's face, you must know that this imperial examination will be held, but His Majesty will promote it single-handedly.

"You're a bit learned, yes."

Ying Zheng set his eyes on Ah Lu and said gently.

"Your Majesty appreciates it."

Ah Lu seemed to be greatly encouraged and said gratefully.

"Is there anyone else in your township who is literate besides you?"

Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

Ah Lu looked at His Majesty's gentle smile, which made him feel as comfortable as bathing in the spring breeze.

It seems that His Majesty is not as terrifying as the rumors, his eyes swept over, and a hundred people would be scared to death at least ninety-nine!

"Your Majesty, are you interested in the grass people's hometown?"

Ah Lu scratched his head and muttered.

"That's right! I am interested not only in your hometown, but also in any part of the Great Qin Empire. Can you tell me about your hometown? ”

Ying Zheng does not have the slightest arrogance, like a benevolent elder, chatting with the younger generations.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and almost dropped his jaw when he watched it one by one.

Many people have worked with His Majesty for decades, who has ever seen His Majesty have such a kind and kind side?

"Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, of course the grass people are happy to say it."

"Our township is a treasure of feng shui! On the day of the spring flowers, the flowers and plants are in full bloom, and the leaves are full of green, which is beautiful. ”

"In particular, the fruit we have there is not only a good harvest, but also a good taste."

"Now that Your Majesty has implemented a new policy, the neighbors and villagers can be grateful to Your Majesty. Every family has their own Yongye field, and life is getting better day by day. ”

"It's just reading! It seems that in addition to the villagers, I am the only one who can read. Everyone was busy cultivating the wasteland, and they were not very interested in books. ”

Ah Lu seemed to have opened the conversation box, and talked a lot.

Ying Zheng seemed to listen with relish, with a faint smile on his face.

But my heart is a little heavy, it seems that the implementation of the new deal has a long way to go!

In addition to the township officials, there is such a literate person.

A glimpse of the whole leopard shows that the hearts of the common people of the entire Great Qin Empire only pay attention to farming and land reclamation. Reading and literacy is not important to them.

The New Deal must be implemented, and it must be carried out consistently.

Universities should also be promoted, so that the officials of the world can popularize the truth of reading to these people to change their destiny.

Yingzheng is very clear about Enke's drawbacks, but everything has advantages and disadvantages.

As long as the pros outweigh the cons, it's worth it.

Ignorance is not conducive to the long-term development of the empire, and only when everyone is like a dragon can the Great Qin Empire prosper.

Only by opening the wisdom of the people can the Great Qin Empire go further.

I am not an omnipotent god, and I can't do everything.

The emperor has the responsibility of the emperor, the courtiers have the duties of the courtiers, the craftsmen have the role of craftsmen, and the merchants have their own way of survival.

All living beings in this world have their own missions, and their own responsibility is to let them perform their duties and do their best to contribute to the Great Qin Empire.

Make the best use of things and make the best use of people......

"Why did you come all the way to Xianyang to try?"

Ying Zheng put aside his distracting thoughts and asked Ah Lu.

"Your Majesty, of course I want to be an official."

Ah Lu blurted out without thinking.

"Then why do you want to be an official?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"Be an official and majestic! lived in a big courtyard, married a lot of beautiful mothers-in-law, and gave birth to a lot of little dolls. ”

Ah Lu said with a look of longing on his face.

Hearing Ah Lu's words, the hundred officials in the hall changed color one after another, and lowered their heads one by one, no longer looking like they were watching a play.

"Did you hear it all?"

Ying Zheng glanced at the civil and military ministers who lowered their heads, and then looked at Ah Lu again and said, "Then what kind of official do you want to be?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Do you really want to make the grass people officials? ”

Ah Lu showed a look of shock and said suspiciously.

"Tell me first, how big an official do you want to be?"

Ying Zheng didn't give him an accurate answer, but asked with a smile.

"This ......"

"Prime Minister Caomin definitely can't do it!"

Ah Lu smiled, very self-aware.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”

Ying Zheng laughed, and was also amused by this product, not happy......

"And you think you can do anything?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ah Lu and asked.

"Your Majesty, the grass people's grandfather is very old, and he was already unable to do it in the early years, and the grass people want to take over the burden of their grandfather and take care of the neighbors."

Ah Lu said expectantly at Yingzheng.

Oh?

Yingzheng was a little surprised, originally thought that even if he didn't want a Beijing official, he would want a county official.

It seems that I guessed wrong, and not everyone in this world is dissatisfied with what they want.

"How old is the old man this year?"

Ying Zheng asked, seeing that Ah Lu is only in his early twenties, his grandfather should be fifty or sixty years old!

How can it be overwhelming?

"Your Majesty, my grandfather is eighty-three years old this year."

Ah Lu was a little strange, why did His Majesty ask this, but since His Majesty asked, he replied truthfully.

"Sure enough, longevity, people are rare after seventy years!"

Ying Zheng said with heartfelt emotion, and then changed the conversation and asked, "What about your father?" As the so-called father wishes to succeed the son, it shouldn't be borne by you, the grandson, right? ”

"Your Majesty, my father died in a foreign country in the battle of the empire against Chu, in response to the call of the empire, and when he accompanied General Li Xin to conquer the Chu country."

Ah Lu showed a look of grief, and said in a heavy voice.

"It's still after the imperial feats, Zenya."

Ying Zheng praised.

"Your Majesty said that he laughed, my father died in battle before he made an inch, how can he have any meritorious service!"

Ah Lu hurriedly said with a wry smile.

"Huh?"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face stiffened, and then said to Zhao Zhong; "Go and get the war death file of Baima County, East County."

"Minister, obey the order."

Zhao Zhong immediately bowed, and then hurriedly left the Pingtian Palace.

"To be the head of a township, you must not only be literate, but also be familiar with the laws of Daqin."

Ying Zheng looked at Ah Lu and asked.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have been exposed to it since childhood, and they know the laws of Great Qin well."

Ah Lu said immediately.

"Then I'll test you."

Ying Zheng saw that Zhao Zhong had gone to get the file, and he had nothing to do, so he said with great interest.

"Your Majesty, please."

When Ah Lu talked about the law, he was also eager to try.

"If you encounter a thief on the road and someone calls for help, within a hundred steps, if you don't give rescue......"

Before Ying Zheng finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Be a second-class person."

Ah Lu blurted out his debut.

Although he was hit, Ying Zheng was not displeased at all, but was even more curious, and continued: "Shiwu Family, if someone harbors criminals, according to the law of Daqin, how should they be dealt with?" ”

"Those who do not report it will be punished, and those who do not know will not be guilty."

Ah Lu didn't think about it, and said to Qin Lu easily.

"When you meet a living person, what is the crime of being suspected of adultery and not raising an official?"

"Punish the city in March."

"What should the officials do if they collect the letter and accuse the adulterer?" [Officials receive anonymous reports.] 〕

"If there is a submission, don't send it, see it burned. It is the one who submitted the book to interrogate it, and the one who can be caught buys two concubines. [Whoever burns the hidden book and captures the person who threw it in will be rewarded with a male and female slave.] 〕”

"If the murderer dies before he knows it, and then he reports it, how can the family deal with it?"

"Murderers, dead and buried, will not be accepted."

"The thief enters the first room, A is injured and calls for help, and the pawn is not at home, what's the matter? None of the neighbors are at home, where is it? ”

"In the Great Qin Law, officials have the responsibility to shoulder the local responsibility, whether they are guilty or not. When the neighbors heard about it and did not save it, it was a sin to sit together. If your neighbor does not hear it, you are not guilty. ”

"Lest the old man be unfilial and murderous?" [The old man sues his son for unfilial piety and asks for a conviction or death penalty]

"The son is not filial, the heavens do not allow it, there is no need to verify and review, and he should immediately resist arrest and abandon the city [death penalty]."

"What is the crime of a man and a woman committing adultery and knowing it?"

"You should be guilty of the same crime, and abandon the market."

"When the wife is fierce, and her husband beats her and tears her ears, or breaks her limbs or fingers, or causes a dislocation, what should he do with her?"

"Patience should be imposed." [Shaved beard, snickering.] 〕

"What does it mean that the son accuses his parents, and the slave sues his master?"

"Non-public complaints will not be accepted."

"How to deal with adultery committed by a person of the same mother and not of the same father?"

"The city should be abandoned."

"What is the crime of a woman who runs away from her husband?"

"Grace." [Tattoo on the face, cure rice.] 〕

"What is the sin of a man who divorces his wife without cause?"

"It's a city." [Tattooing on the face, building or repairing a city.] 〕

Ying Zheng asked, and Ah Lu replied fluently.

Soon Zhao Zhong came back with a plate of dossiers, and came directly to Ying Zheng's side and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"Put it down."

Ying Zheng said casually, then looked at Ah Lu and asked, "What is your father's name?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, my father's name is Ah Gou."

Ah Lu's heart was full of doubts, and he didn't know what His Majesty was going to do.

Ying Zheng nodded, picked up the file casually, and read it.

As time passed, the file in front of Ying Zheng was quickly overturned.

His face became more and more ugly, and Zhao Zhong stood aside and watched with a heartbeat.

In the Pingtian Palace, the silence was terrifying, and his eyes were on His Majesty who was flipping through the files.

"All the meritorious battle death files of Baima County are here?"

Ying Zheng put his big hand on the file in front of him, looked at Zhao Zhong, and said with a cold look in his eyes.

Zhao Zhong was frightened and hurriedly said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's all here." With his life as a guarantee, there is absolutely no omission. ”

"Whoa......

The copper plate on the table was directly pushed to the ground by Ying Zheng, making a loud sound.

"Your Majesty is angry."

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all frightened, and hurriedly bowed their hands.

Ah Lu was also frightened by His Majesty's sudden look, and quickly knelt down, feeling terrified in his heart.

If His Majesty just now was a kind and kind elder, then at this moment, it felt like His Majesty was like a man-eating beast, making his heart pound and pound.

Ying Zheng stood up and looked at the civil and military officials who bowed their heads, his eyes became colder and colder.

"Help him up."

Ying Zheng looked at Ah Lu Dao, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

"Whoa."

Zhao Zhong immediately felt pardoned, hurriedly walked down, and helped Ah Lu up.

Although Ah Lu was helped up in a daze, he still had a palpitating look on his face.

At this moment, he finally understood that the rumors were true, and His Majesty was really terrifying.

"Li Si ......"

Ying Zheng opened his mouth and called.

"The minister is here."

Li Si hurriedly bowed his hand, then stood up, walked to the bottom of the main hall, lowered his head, and did not dare to meet His Majesty's sharp gaze.

"If I'm not mistaken, when I attack the Six Kingdoms, you're responsible for all of this, right?"

Ying Zheng has a deep meaning.

"Your Majesty, that's exactly the case."

Li Si was bitter in his heart, he was really afraid of anything.

can be careful and cautious, but after all, you still can't avoid it.

"Then you come and tell me, why is the name of his father Ah Dog not in the battle death file of Baima County?"

Ying Zheng's tone was cold, his words were stern, and he asked.

Li Si felt that his head was as big as a fight, how could he answer?

Attacking the six countries and fighting for the country, I don't know how many people died.

Maybe miss one or two?

Or a deserter?

Or maybe it's the people down there?

He is indeed the prime minister, but with so many feats of war death, even if he wants to verify them one by one, he has no skills!

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that maybe his father was a fugitive, so he did not register it."

Li Si said tremblingly.

"I don't want you to think that what I want is a positive answer."

Ying Zheng was furious, glared at Li Si, and scolded.

"The minister is guilty, please condemn your majesty."

Li Si felt a little sad in his heart, he couldn't hide from what he should have come after all!

No matter how many reasons you give yourself, what is the use if Your Majesty doesn't listen?

"Those who sacrifice their lives for the country are all meritorious deeds of the Great Qin Empire."

"Daqin Law, whoever dies in battle will be promoted to the first level, with 100 acres of land, a house, and five money."

"You say deserters, right?"

"Great Qin Law, one person fled in fear of battle, and the whole family was connected, how could their family be safe and sound?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and shouted angrily.

"Back to Your Majesty, it may be registered, but there is something missing, and I don't know!"

Li Si was in a hurry, and without thinking about it, he blurted out his debut.

As soon as he said that, he regretted it.

"Daqin Law is a person who presides over the compilation and revision of the law, and he is a meritorious person according to the law, so why is it guilty of omitting to compile the policy?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, be a beheader."

Li Si swallowed and foamed, and couldn't help but beat faster.

"Go and check the people of Baima County, Ding Bo and Gong Jue Bo."

Ying Zheng said to Zhao Zhong.

"Minister, obey the order."

Zhao Zhong bowed his hand and immediately left again in a hurry.

In the main hall, it fell into a dull atmosphere again.

Everyone's mood is heavy, for fear of setting themselves on fire.

About three quarters of an hour later, Zhao Zhong came back again, bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it has been verified." ”

"Say it!"

Ying Zheng felt a little upset, although he knew very well in his heart that the imperial decree itself was good, but when it came to the bottom, it was not uncommon for local officials to collude and deceive their superiors and subordinates.

But by accident, he was still very angry and had a feeling of being fooled.

"Back to Your Majesty, A dog in Yushui Township, Baima County, because of his repeated military exploits, he was promoted to the head of the tun and was awarded the title of third-class hairpin."

"And according to the household registration of Baima County, his person is not dead and is still serving in the army."

Zhao Zhong bowed his hand and said.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”

Ying Zheng laughed, but the laughter was cold.

"This is impossible, my father has been dead in battle for more than ten years, if he is still alive, how can he have no letters for more than ten years?"

Ah Lu's face changed drastically, and he said with a look of disbelief.

"Then please tell me about Prime Minister Li, what is going on? How can a person who has been dead for more than ten years still serve in the Imperial Army? ”

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si, and said in a generous voice.

Li Si's face was extremely pale, and he had been in the officialdom for decades, and he had already guessed seven seven or eight in his heart.

How can he not know about these dirty things in officialdom?

"Back to Your Majesty, these people are mad, pretending to be true with falsehood, and deceiving their superiors and subordinates, which is really a heinous crime."

Li Si looked grief-stricken and said to Ying Zheng.

"What a madman, what a fake is true, what a good deception, what a heinous one!"

"This is the minister of the Great Qin Empire!"

Ying Zheng made a pun and said sarcastically.

"Your Majesty is angry."

The civil and military officials all bowed their heads and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, these people despise Your Majesty, trample on the laws of the country, and chill the hearts of the people of the world."

"If it is not severely punished, where will the law of the country exist, and where will the power of heaven be?"

"I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly, to correct the outline, and to Kuang Sheji."

Wang Jian bowed to Yingzheng and said in a loud voice.

"I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly, to correct the outline, and to Kuang Sheji."

The civil and military officials shouted in unison.

"It's been more than ten years, if it weren't for today's mistake, would there never be a day when the truth will never be revealed?"

"Who can tell me how many such ridiculous and ridiculous things are there in the Great Qin world?"

"I have been working day and night, painstakingly, and strictly disciplining myself, and since I succeeded to the throne, I have been like a day for more than 20 years. There has never been a day of slacking off, hundreds of prisons have been broken by the day, and books have been counted by stone at night. "[One stone and one hundred pounds]

Yingzheng's voice was like a big bell in Hong Lu, beating on everyone's hearts.

"Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, the blessing of the world, and the blessing of the community."

The civil and military ministers shouted in unison again.

"Great Qin's thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, if I have to take care of everything, what is the use of me waiting?"

Ying Zheng slapped the wooden case hard, and let out a loud bang.

"The ministers are guilty, and Your Majesty is angry."

The civil and military ministers spoke again.

"Where is Tingwei Wang Xuan?"

Ying Zheng shouted.

"The minister is here."

Wang Xuan immediately stood up and answered.

"Give me a thorough investigation, one counts as one, all of them will be executed, and the whole door will be exiled to Zhongnan."

Ying Zheng shouted.

"Your Majesty respectfully obeys the precepts."

Wang Xuan immediately received the order.

"Everyone has greed, but there must be a bottom line. I made it clear today, if you don't know how to advance or retreat, then I don't think about the friendship between kings and ministers. ”

"Fish and meat people, greedy for ink and food, coveting meritorious deeds, knowing the law and breaking the law, check one person, I will kill one person. Check a pair, I will punish a pair. ”

"I still don't believe it, this Great Qin world, there can't kill a Lang Lang Qiankun."

"Is desire more tempting, or my butcher's knife more intimidating?"

Ying Zheng did not hide his murderous intentions, and said extremely tough against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty."

The Manchu civil and military officers turned pale one by one, and bowed to Yingzheng.

"The imperial decree, Prime Minister Li Si, does not seek his own government, his majesty has no skills, dereliction of duty and lazy work, and wastes state affairs. Grounded for three months and fined for one year, in order to set an example and reassure the world. ”

Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Minister, Commander, thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Li Si hurriedly bowed his head and bowed.

Li Si returned to his seat a little dejected, secretly saying that he was lucky.

"Imperial Doctor Feng Quai, who is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, is unaware. The top is not considerate of the king's worries, and the bottom is not sympathetic to the people's anger. Grounded for one month and fined for half a year, in order to set an example and calm the world. ”

"Yushi Cheng Bailihua, since the ancestor Bailixi Xiangqin, several generations have served Qin. Promoted Baili Hua Dai to take charge of the duties of the imperial historian, lead the imperial historical platform, and picket hundreds of officials. ”

"Tingwei Wang Xuan, temporarily acting as the prime minister, commanding hundreds of officials, and helping me to govern."

Ying Zheng made a decision again and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty obeys the order, thank you for your grace."

"Your Majesty obeys the order, thank you for your grace."

"Your Majesty, thank you."

Wang Xuan, Bai Lihua, and Feng Qujian stood up together, walked to the front of the hall, and bowed to Yingzheng.

"The palace test continues."

Ying Zheng said coldly.

The civil and military officials below are all trembling.

Under His Majesty's holy wrath, the prime minister and the imperial doctor were all unlucky.

"Your filial piety is really rare, and I have granted your request. Go ahead! I will seek justice for your father, and I will never chill the heart of the Great Qin Ruishi. ”

Ying Zheng looked at Ah Lu and said solemnly.

"The grass people thank Your Majesty for the grace of heaven, and the grass people retire."

Ah Lu bowed again, and then slowly left.

"Next."

Zhao Zhong shouted again.

Xianyang Palace Outside ......

A man dressed in tatters, with a dirty face, dirt, and chapped lips, walked towards the guards at the gate of Xianyang Palace.

"Stop, Xianyang Palace is forbidden to trespass, otherwise you will be killed."

A guard on duty immediately stopped this person and scolded.

"General, the villain is a candidate who came to take the Jinke examination."

Although the man's face was dirty and his clothes were ragged, his voice was unusually young, which showed that he was not very old.

"Jinke? Try? With your virtue, you still want to enter the palace? Aren't you afraid of disturbing Your Majesty's holy drive and killing you on the spot? ”

The general on duty looked at the man with disdain and mocked.

"Why fear death? Your Majesty's edict doesn't say that the down-and-out can't try, right? ”

The man smiled wryly and sighed.

"Your Majesty didn't say it, but how can you enter the palace with such virtue? You are not afraid of disturbing Your Majesty's holy drive and being executed, and you are still afraid! ”

Bai Jiang admired the man's courage in his heart, but he didn't want to take risks.

"General, please be tolerant, the villain begged all the way, and came to Xianyang thousands of miles away, and the water and rice did not enter for three days."

The man bowed to the hundred generals and pleaded.

"...... Otherwise, Ben will punish you for trespassing in the palace. ”

Bai Jiang said coldly, looked at the man with sharp eyes, and said mercilessly.

The man's heart is extremely desolate, if he can't enter the palace to participate in the examination today, he is afraid that he will die here.

Left and right are dead, what else do you have to be afraid of?

"What if the villain has to enter?"

The man's eyes were firm, he straightened up, and said stubbornly.

"Shout, are you still energetic? Brethren ......"

Baijiang's face was full of contempt, what are you kidding, what kind of place is this? Breaking in? There is a way to take death.

"Whoa."

A group of armor soldiers armed with Changge immediately surrounded the men, and the cold light of the soldiers was aimed at the men.

"Either kill the villain, or let the villain go in for the exam."

"Your Majesty is thirsty for talent, if the villain dies outside the palace gate, the world will laugh at it."

The man used almost all his strength, roared, and then walked forward step by step.

The armor soldier who was blocking the front couldn't help but be a little undecided for a while, and kept retreating.

"Today is a day of great joy, Jinke will test, and it is not appropriate to see blood. Beat him, throw him as far as he goes. ”

Bai Jiang is not a vegetarian, so he naturally understood the threat and warning in the man's words, and immediately ordered.

The man who was already hungry and had his heart close to his back, where was the opponent of a group of wolf-like armor soldiers, was soon beaten to the ground by a group of armor soldiers.

A group of people kept kicking and hitting the man lying on the ground like a dead dog.

The man's eyes looked desperately at the gate of Xianyang Palace, which was close at hand, and endless sorrow swelled in his heart.

That's it, it's almost that......

He couldn't feel the pain in his body for a long time, and the corners of his mouth were covered with blood, but he didn't feel it.

His eyes looked straight at the gate of Xianyang Palace, and his face was full of unwillingness.

"Stop......"

At this moment, a delicate voice sounded, and a girl in colorful clothes shouted to everyone.

"Who are you who dares to meddle?"

Bai Jiang looked at the maiden maid dressing up, but did not take it to heart.

"Blind your dog's eyes, I am the Protector of the Princess, the close maid of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

The female officer Die'er looked at the guard and said with a proud expression.

Bai Jiang's face changed, and then he looked not far away, and sure enough, a luxurious carriage stopped not far away, and a group of armor servants waited aside.

"Smack......

The hundred generals slapped themselves in the mouth, and said with a smile on their faces: "It turned out to be Sister Die'er!" I don't know what the villain has, where he can serve? ”

"Why hurt people if they stop it?"

Die'er looked miserable, lying on the ground, looking at the man in front of her, and shouted coquettishly.

"Sister doesn't know, this person is bold and forcibly broke into the forbidden place of the palace, and the villain is only slightly punished."

The hundred generals were about to laugh on their faces, but their faces were full of beards, but they made him look particularly hideous.

Die'er nodded and said, "Then so be it!" Disturb Your Highness, do you eat sin? ”

"Brothers, withdraw."

The hundred generals immediately shouted.

A group of armor soldiers immediately stopped beating the man, and returned to their posts.

Seeing this, Butterfly turned and walked away and walked towards the carriage.

"Good luck for you, get out of here."

The hundred generals sneered, then ignored the man and looked at the carriage not far away.

The carriage drove slowly towards this direction, and soon came to the palace gate.

The car door opened, and Ying Yuanman stepped out of the car, his brocade clothes fluttering and his demeanor shining.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

The hundred generals and the gatekeepers immediately shouted in unison and bowed.

"No."

Ying Yuanman's voice is like a mysterious sound, very soft and smart.

Her Royal Highness the Princess?

The man who was lying on the ground with dull eyes suddenly seemed to have grabbed the life-saving grass, as if he had come back to life, and he got up directly, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Her Royal Highness the princess stays ......"

Ying Yuanman stopped when he heard the sound, and turned to look at the dirty man who was ten meters away from the armor.

"What's the matter with you?"

Ying Yuanman was puzzled, she could have ignored it, but because of nature, she didn't do this, but asked patiently.

"Ask Her Royal Highness the princess to have mercy and take the villain into the palace to participate in the Jinke examination."

The man kept prostrating, pleading.

This......

Ying Yuanman was a little hesitant, because she didn't know the details of this man, how could she bring it into the palace at will?

What if it's an Assassin?

"Are you a scholar who has come to take the examination? How could it end so miserably? ”

Although Ying Yuanman is kind by nature, he is not stupid.

When the man heard this, he immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess, the villain Chen Ping is a person from Humu Township, Yangwu County, Sanchuan County. ”

"In order to enter Xianyang to participate in the examination, because of the robbers on the road, he was plundered and begged all the way, and he fell into such a situation."

Chen Ping lowered his head, didn't dare to raise his head, and replied truthfully.

"Take a pen and paper and let him write it out."

Ying Yuanman naturally won't believe it easily, and he will know if it's true or false as soon as he tries it.

Die'er immediately took the order, took out the paper and pen from the carriage, came to Chen Ping, and handed it to him.

Chen Ping immediately took it, knelt directly on the ground, spread the paper on the stone slab on the ground, and wrote with a pen.

After writing, Chen Ping's dirty and dusty hands picked up the paper and put it on top of his head.

After Die'er took the paper, she immediately returned and handed it to Ying Yuanman.

Ying Yuanman took the paper, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, what a handsome word!

If people are like their words, they are also beautiful.

My father is thirsty for talent, so I might as well give it a try.

"Let him come!"

Ying Yuanman said to the guards on the side.

Ying Zheng watched the examinees leave with a black face.

The civil and military officials below looked at their noses and noses one by one, and they did not dare to have the slightest abnormality, for fear of angering His Majesty.

Zhao Zhong was also speechless, what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates are these?

Some of them can't read all the words, some have read a few books, some have been to the academy for a few days, and they all come to make a fuss?

How big of a heart do you have to have to have the courage to stand on this Pingtian Temple?

Aren't you afraid of angering Your Majesty?

After a while, seeing that no one came up, Ying Zheng said impatiently: "It's gone? ”

Hundreds of people have been tried, and there is not one in the hundreds of people who can be reused.

Most of them are only suitable for any small official, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

"Minister, go and see."

Zhao Zhong bowed his hand and said.

Then he walked towards the outside of the main hall, and after walking out of the Pingtian Palace, looking at the vast square, Zhao Zhong frowned.

"Are they all gone?"

Zhao Zhong asked the attendant on the side.

"The eunuch order is gone."

The chamberlain arched his hand at Zhao Zhongyao.

Zhao Zhong's heart sank, and then he turned around and returned to the Pingtian Palace, came to Ying Zheng, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's gone."

Gone?

Ying Zheng's face was cloudy, and the silence in the Pingtian Hall was terrifying.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess asks to see you."

Outside the main hall, a Lang general walked in to report.

Yuan Man is here?

Didn't she always refuse to go back to the palace to see me?

"What?"

Ying Zheng frowned, this Pingtian Palace is a place for political discussion, and the harem ladies are not allowed to set foot at will.

"Back to Your Majesty, the eldest princess sent someone over."

Lang Jiang hurriedly said.

"People? Who? ”

Ying Zheng was stunned and wondered.

"The eldest princess said that she was a scholar who came to participate in the examination, but she was blocked out by the palace gate guards."

Lang Jiang repeated the princess's original words, word for word.

"Xuan."

A word popped out of Ying Zheng's mouth.

"Whoa."

After General Lang received the order, he immediately left the Pingtian Palace.

After walking out of the Pingtian Palace, Lang Jiang came to Ying Yuanman and bowed: "Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess, Your Majesty has summoned." ”

Ying Yuanman smiled, but he didn't have the slightest intention of taking a step, but said to Chen Ping beside him: "You can go in." ”

"Grass people Chen Ping thank Her Royal Highness the princess, today's grace, Chen Ping will be remembered forever."

Chen Ping immediately knelt down, bowed to Ying Yuanman, and then said from the bottom of his heart.

"Go ahead! Serving the Great Qin Empire is the best reward for this palace. ”

After Ying Yuanman finished speaking, he turned around and left with the servant maid.

"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Lang will bow down with Chen Ping.

Chen Ping lowered his head, his eyes were aimed at Ying Yuanman's back, flashing with a strange light.

It wasn't until Ying Yuanman's figure completely disappeared into the distance that Chen Square stood up.

I, Chen Ping, will definitely be able to get ahead, and everyone who looks down on me Chen Ping will pay the price they deserve.

You will regret it, and I will pay back a hundredfold of the humiliation I have endured.

Chen Ping buried a steady pace, step by step ascended the long stone steps.

After walking up the stone steps, you will be greeted by a magnificent hall.

"Pingtian Temple."

Looking at the three vigorous and powerful characters on the plaque at the gate of the high pavilion, his gaze showed a determined color.

Although Chen Ping was in rags, he still patted the dust on his body with dirty doubles, and then under the shocked gaze of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he straightened his waist and walked slowly on the avenue of the Pingtian Palace.

This......

This......

Is this a scholar?

Is this a student?

Are you sure you're not here to beg for food?

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military jaws were about to drop in shock, and they looked at Chen Ping.

Every time Chen Ping walked through a place, all the officials frowned and covered their noses.

The pungent sour smell made them almost nauseous, but because of His Majesty's majesty, they didn't dare to make a mistake.

I could only endure the discomfort in my heart and cover my nose one after another.

Chen Ping turned a deaf ear, as if entering a no-man's land, his demeanor was calm, he walked to the front of the hall politely, bowed to Yingzheng who was sitting high and above the throne and said: "Caomin Yangwu Chen Ping, meet Your Majesty." ”

"Participating in the exam, dressed up like this, what kind of system will it become?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for a great sin of disrespect?"

Ying Zheng grimaced with a straight face, and said in a lukewarm voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are not afraid."

Chen Ping said calmly.

"Oh? Everyone in the world is afraid of me like a tiger, why are you the only one who is not afraid? ”

Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty is thirsty for talent, and recruits talents from all over the world. Sweep the six and control the eight wilderness, hit Hu Di and level the hundred Yue. Although the grass people have lived in Yangwu for a long time, they still have heard of it. ”

Chen Ping lowered his head, and his words were full of respect.

"Then you're not afraid of rumors?"

Everyone loves to listen to good words, and Yingzheng is naturally no exception, but he just listens to it, and he doesn't really take it to heart.

"The Great Qin Empire governs the country according to the law, and there is a law to follow in everything. If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, it will be punished. The grass people are untidy and have no manners, and there is a reason for everything. ”

"With Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, you will not be embarrassed by the grass people."

There is no lack of compliments between Chen Pingyan's conversations, but they are not easy to notice, and they are reasonable.

"If what you say is reasonable, then I will forgive you for the sin of being disheveled."

Ying Zheng was very generous.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Ping bowed again.

"Let's talk about it! What are your talents? ”

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ping and asked.

"The grass people came all the way to beg, and I heard that His Majesty raised troops to recruit the Yue clan, I don't know if it's true?"

Chen Ping did not answer, but asked in the opposite direction.

"Not bad."

Ying Zheng did not hide it, and this matter is not top secret.

"Yueshi is located in the northwest, the land is vast and sparsely populated, bordering the Xiongnu in the east and Qiangyi in the west."

"The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the men who draw the bow are 200,000 people."

"With the strength of the empire, it is not difficult to destroy it, but it costs a lot of money, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"The grass people think that His Majesty should cut off the Qilian to defend Longxi, and build Xiongguan to contain Hu Di."

"In this way, within a hundred years, the Yueshi will lose the fertile land west of Qilian, and they will definitely collapse without a fight."

Chen Ping said eloquently.

"Although this anti-drug plan is good, it is not easy to implement. Whether it is human or financial resources, it is also very costly, and it is insignificant. ”

"And a hundred years is too long, I can't wait that long."

Ying Zheng refuted Chen Ping's policy on the spot and said mercilessly.

"......" Chen Ping.

Chen Ping, who was originally full of self-confidence, suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I have been fighting with Siyi for thousands of years, and the vast mountains and rivers are not a day's work!"

Chen Ping was a little unwilling, did he fail like this?

"Xia Zhisiyi, how strong? The four Yi of Shang are defeated and retreated, the four Yi of Zhou, the four Yi of Qin, and the four Yi of Qin should all be destroyed. ”

Ying Zheng is very tough and seems to disagree with Chen Ping's words at all.

Chen Ping's face changed slightly, and his mind pondered.

What to do?

Did you just throw in the towel?

I'm really unwilling!

"Your Majesty, the grass people are willing to send an envoy to Yunnan to persuade the king of Dian to return to Qin."

Chen Ping knew that he had no way out, either he would soar into the sky or fall into the abyss, and there would be no place to turn over.

"Courage is commendable."

"The Dian State was built by Zhuang Qiao, the general of the Chu State, and Chu was destroyed by Qin, and you sent an envoy to the Dian Land for fear that the Chu people would kill you to vent their anger, and they would only die in vain!"

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ping and said with a serious expression.

"The great husband was born in the world, what is there to fear when he dies? If you can sacrifice your life for the empire, if you can be loyal to Your Majesty, the grass people will die without regrets. ”

Chen Ping was unswerving and bowed his hand.

"Okay, if you can persuade Yunnan to enter Qin with your three-inch tongue, and avoid swords to destroy the charcoal, I will give you the chief lord of Zuoshu, worship Shangqing, honor the world, and be prominent."

Ying Zheng said with a smile, throwing out a huge temptation.

Chen Ping's eyes flashed, wasn't all this exactly what he dreamed of?

"If the grass people can't persuade Yunnan to enter Qin, they are willing to die in Yunnan to repay His Majesty's kindness."

Chen Ping said righteously.

The civil and military officials were all moved, and a sense of urgency arose in their hearts.

In order to please His Majesty, this person really doesn't even want his life.

Lose your marbles......

It's all crazy......

Ying Zheng's eyes were blazing, looking at Chen Ping, quite appreciative, he was indeed a ruthless person.

Naturally, I heard Chen Ping's voice, if the Great Qin envoy died in Yunnan, then the Great Qin Empire would be able to become famous and attack Yunnan, so that the people of the world would have nothing to say.

"The edict sealed Chen Ping as the envoy of the Great Qin Empire's Dianke Temple, holding the scepter, holding the letter of state, sending an envoy to the Dian State, and specializing in appeasing the southwest Yi."

Ying Zheng directly ordered and ordered.

"Minister, Commander."

Chen Ping immediately cried with joy and thanked him.

Although the official position is small, for himself, it is undoubtedly the first step on the ladder of Qingyun.

"Go down first! Let's get some trim and leave tomorrow! ”

Ying Zheng looked at the dirty Chen Ping, and said in a voice that could not be refused.

"Minister, obey the order."

"Minister, retire."

Chen Ping bowed again, and then slowly left the Pingtian Palace.

"Retreat!"

Ying Zheng watched Chen Ping leave, and then stood up as well and said softly.

After speaking, he turned around and left the Pingtian Hall and walked towards the Inner Temple of Prayer.

"Your Majesty has a will, retreat from the dynasty."

Zhao Zhong shouted loudly.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

The civil and military officials immediately bowed their hands.
