But can Zhao Ying really ignore the feelings of the First Emperor?

No matter how incompetent Hu Hai is, no matter how unsuccessful he is, and no matter how much he makes mistakes, then he is also the youngest son of the first emperor.

Killing Hu Hai will certainly put an end to possible future troubles and prevent history from sliding to its original track.

But what about then—

At this critical juncture in history, if because of this incident, a thorn was planted in the heart of the First Emperor and the First Emperor gave up on himself, would there be another Hu Hai in the future?

You know, more than 20 sons of the First Emperor!

Even if you kill this eighteen sons-

There are also more than twenty sons to choose from.

Although most of these sons failed to leave their names, and after crossing by themselves, they didn't find any outstanding talents, but where can Hu Hai be outstanding?

The most important thing is the mind of the First Emperor.

These thoughts flashed by, Zhao Ying instantly made up his mind, he squatted down, helped Hu Hai who was hugging his ankle, and sighed softly.

"Eighteenth uncle, you have to remember, you are the son of the eldest father, the son of our Great Qin Empire, you should have your own dignity - crying like this, begging for mercy from a junior like me, what kind of ...... become?"

As he spoke, he also helped Hu Hai tidy up his collar quite considerately.

Lives hang in the balance.

Hu Hai hurriedly wiped the tears on his face, like a child who had made a mistake, standing in front of Zhao Ying, at a loss.

The First Emperor couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

Compared with his eldest grandson, this son of his own family is really-

Alas......

"Ying'er, you must believe me - you know, Uncle Eighteen loves you the most, and all Xianyang knows that our uncle and nephew have the best relationship......"

Although he didn't cry anymore and didn't hug his ankles, Hu Hai was still like a child who was afraid of getting lost, pulling Zhao Ying's sleeve, looking up, looking at Zhao Ying's face, hoping to see a little recognition.

Zhao Ying patted Hu Hai on the shoulder and looked back at the First Emperor with a gloomy face.

"Father, although, all the evidence, points to the eighteenth uncle, but-"

Zhao Ying's tone paused, and then he bowed deeply to the First Emperor again.

"But after all, he is my eighteenth uncle, the son of the eldest father, and my loving brother, I—I am willing to believe in the eighteenth uncle......"

Looking at the eldest grandson who bowed to the ground and refused to get up, the First Emperor's eyes couldn't help but soften a little.

Of course, he appreciates that his grandson is decisive and ruthless, but why doesn't he like this child to be affectionate and righteous?

What emperor, willing to see his heir, would raise a butcher's knife to his children and grandchildren?

Hu Hai's kind of blood cleaning, the first emperor didn't know, otherwise he would have to crawl out of the coffin, pinch him to death eighteen times, regret not throwing him to the wall back then, and then step on 10,000 feet.

Now, this child, obviously wronged and plotted, did not say a word about the crime of this very likely mastermind behind the scenes, only said that he was willing - this must be afraid of hurting his father's heart.

This child is so sensible, how can he, who is the eldest father, be indifferent and watch this child bear the grievances that he should not bear at his age?

"You don't have to plead for this obstacle anymore......"

The First Emperor shook his head lightly and looked at Hu Hai on the side.

"Since you eat it, all the people involved in the case are your people, and even if you don't know about today's events, you can't escape the crime of not being aware of it......"

When the First Emperor said this, his eyes gradually returned to coldness.

"But for Ying'er's sake, for the sake of Ying'er's intercession, from today onwards, you will immediately resign from all your duties, go back to the mansion and think about it behind closed doors, without my will, you will not be allowed to take half a step out of the mansion for the rest of your life......"

This is clearly house arrest, and it is the kind for life.

When Hu Hai heard this, his face turned pale suddenly.

He knew he was completely finished.

It's colder than my own big brother.

But he picked up a life - he knew what would happen to him if those charges fell on his head, and without His Majesty's net, his eighteen lives would not be enough to die.

Hu Hai lost his platform like a fog, and went down in despair.

But the butcher's knife of the First Emperor is not over yet.

From the royal family, to the Imperial City Army, from the court, to the Xianyang County Ya, almost all the people involved were washed in blood, and the rest of them, who were lucky not to be involved, couldn't help but be panicked in their hearts, and they couldn't live all day.

The eighteenth prince is cold, who knows if these people will be purged.

Thereupon......

In front of the eldest son's mansion, the door is like a market again, and the people queuing up to see each other belong to each other, and there is an endless stream.

To everyone's great surprise, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun did not take the opportunity to wantonly annex the forces that originally belonged to the eighteenth prince Hu Hai and expand his influence, but instead plunged into the palace and avoided it.

Looking at the eldest grandson who was hiding in his hall and refused to go back, the First Emperor couldn't help crying and laughing.

"What's the matter with you hiding here here every day - people can't wait to expand the power in their hands every day, how can there be a ...... like you who avoid it"

Zhao Ying lay on the rocking chair of the First Emperor and waved his hand with a tired face.

"Why should I take over, I have an eldest father, why do I want to make such trouble for myself......"

First Emperor: ......

Angry, he leaned over and pulled him out of his rocking chair by twisting his ears.

"Dog things, not the son of man, if you are afraid of trouble, you will throw it to the eldest father, right......?"

Zhao Ying gritted his teeth exaggeratedly.

"Pain Pain Pain - Slow down, slow down ......"

Seeing that the First Emperor didn't mean to spare himself, he sighed resignedly.

"Father, it's not that I don't want to, but I have enough errands under my hands, no matter how much, I can't be busy———— and these people under Uncle Eighteen are already mixed, how can I have those idle minds - cough cough, how can I have the energy to help him sort out these, and hand them over to the eldest father just ......"

Dog, let's finally tell the truth, right?

For this eldest grandson who does not want to make progress, the first emperor has no choice, so he can only say with a black face.

"In short, you have to go back, you are so old, you have been here for a few days, and if you don't go back, I'm afraid the court officials will have to impeach you......"

Speaking of which, the First Emperor hated it indisputably.

"What's more, you hide here from me every day, when will I be able to hold my great-grandson!"

Looking at the first emperor who had already made up his heart, Zhao Ying sighed helplessly, he knew that if he didn't leave, his eldest father would dare to let people tie him back.

Forget it, it's not a way to stay in the palace every day, go back.

I squatted for a few days, but I didn't wait for the shadow of the emperor's eldest grandson.

The people outside are even more unstable in their hearts, so the number of people does not decrease but increases, and there are more ......

This came as a surprise.

Zhao Ying had a headache.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ying simply asked people to open the door and let them all come in. These people were overjoyed at once, and they had a sense of happiness that they could see the moon.

Especially when I saw the gift I had carefully prepared and was pulled down, I was even more moved, and tears were still hanging out.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun ......"

Everyone respectfully stepped forward and saluted.

Zhao Ying looked around at everyone, raised his hand slightly, and motioned for everyone to be exempt, and then he looked serious.

"You have come here, I already know that it is not that I am arrogant and reject people thousands of miles away, but that there is really no need to ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying arched his hand in the direction of Zhangtai Palace.

"In the past, whether everyone was working under my eighteenth uncle or working under me, in fact, they were all the same as our Daqin's courtiers, as long as you worked hard, were honest and diligent, and could do your best for my Daqin, you would be a good official - no need to worry about it......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's face was slightly gloomy.

"On the contrary, if you are a corpse, corrupt and incompetent, and a common man, then you are the silverfish and scum of our Great Qin, and you are the enemy of my Zhao Ying, even if you please me, it is useless - go back and work hard......"

After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled that everyone could disperse.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how much truth was true or false in the emperor's eldest grandson's words, but now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done? I could only go back with a heavy heart.

In his heart, he always thought about Zhao Ying's "teaching" today, lest he be caught by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.

For a time, in Xianyang City, the efficiency of the various yamen has been greatly improved, and even the officialdom has improved a lot. The matter of the emperor's eldest grandson convincing people with virtue and influencing the officials, under the promotion of people with intentions intentionally or unintentionally, became a beautiful talk for a while.

And in a very exaggerated way, it spreads in all directions.

……

Zhangtai Palace.

The First Emperor leisurely held the teacup in his hand and looked at the black who was standing with his hands down.

"How's it going......

Black rules and regulations.

"Public opinion has risen, and His Highness's reputation is better than ever......"

Speaking of this, Hei secretly glanced at the face of the First Emperor and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is really thinking about Your Highness - if Your Highness knew that Your Majesty had done this for him, I don't know how it would feel......"

The First Emperor smiled and shook his head.

"I do things for him, why should he know......"

Speaking of this, the First Emperor put down the teacup and said with some emotion.

"What I want is a long-awaited grandson of the emperor, a helmsman who is more popular and more hopeful than me—what does it matter if he knows it or not?"

Speaking of this, the First Emperor couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"Isn't this eldest grandson of mine filial piety still enough?"

Hei's always serious face couldn't help but show a smile of relief.

"Your Royal Highness is pure filial piety, and it is rare to see ...... in the world"

The First Emperor smiled.

"Isn't that enough......"

At that time, when the sun was setting, shining on the two old men, there was an indescribable tranquility and easy-goingness.

……

Zhao Ying didn't know any of this.

At this time, he was happily listening to Zhang Liang's report.

“…… A total of 200,000 yuan, 10,000 pieces of cloth, 20 pearls, 12 pairs of jade Ruyi, other rare antiques, 10 boxes of ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang's tone suddenly became a little strange.

"Three ...... of Fine Glass"

Zhao Ying: ......

In this era, is the routine of gift-giving already so heavy? Now, who doesn't know that the shopkeeper of the glazed workshop is the father of His Royal Highness the Emperor's favorite concubine Yu Ji?

Because Zhao Ying controls the number of glazed workshops flowing to the market, the price of glazed works is still high in Xianyang City, such as the three glazed works in Zhang Liang's mouth, which are still expensive.

He couldn't help pinching his brows and looked at Zhang Liang, who was standing with his hands down.

"Who sent this......"

"Dazai wins, the servant Yuchang, the court lieutenant and the eunuch Youhei-"

Zhao Ying nodded thoughtfully.

Dazai is a high-ranking official under Fengchang, the servant is one of the most important officials under the pawn, and the court captain is one of the two most important officials under the court captain.

This is a very important force.

Dazai, in particular, was in charge of the diet of the First Emperor and was in an extremely important position. If the eighteenth uncle of his own family really wants to do something, it is really too convenient and too easy.

As far as he knew, there were more than a dozen ways to make people collapse without realizing it.

Unexpectedly, the eighteenth uncle of his own family had a lot of means, and he even got in touch with these people.

Thinking that in his previous life, when the First Emperor was less than fifty years old, his body collapsed, and he died of illness on the way to travel the world, Zhao Ying had no shortage of malicious speculation, whether there was a shadow of this Dazai and his own eighteenth uncle.

Fortunately, the eighteenth uncle is now cold, and this Dazai has finally surfaced.

"Help me write a post, just say that tomorrow, I will invite the three of them to drink in Tianxiang Pavilion......"

The reason why Tianxiang Pavilion was chosen was because there were many people on Tianxiang Pavilion, who were themselves elites seconded from the Black Ice Terrace. It was his eyes, but he also knew that they were also the eyes of his great father.

What he could see, it would also appear before his father's eyes.

Although he knew that his eldest father might not have any suspicions about him, he still didn't want to let him have any possibility of misunderstanding between him and his eldest father.

When Zhang Liang heard this, he hesitated, but still gave up.

"Your Highness, these three people are high and powerful, and they have a great relationship, so it is not appropriate to act rashly......"

He knew the character of his own highness, and he was really afraid that his own highness would turn around and dig a pit and bury these three.

With his understanding of His Royal Highness, he can really do this kind of thing.

Zhao Ying glanced at him with some surprise and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, I'll only do it—"

Seeing Zhao Ying say this, Zhang Liang was very interested in not saying more.

Instead, another topic was brought up with interest.

"Your Highness, Zhou Yin's brother is here today......"

"Zhou Yin?"

When Zhao Ying heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Where is he now?"

Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Ying, who looked excited, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and suddenly he felt some sympathy for that Zhou Yin.

Ahh

This old man, it's over, he is being targeted by His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back.

It's like......

Zhang Liang thinks that this is also very good.

Apostasy and betrayal of the organization, and not alone, isn't everyone changing - can they all be called changed?

It's called a good bird choosing a tree to perch on!

This is called conforming to the general trend and knowing the times for Junjie——

I, Zhang Liang, have been a traitor when I have been!
