Chapter 78: Promise to Hu Hai
Not long after Zhang Han left, Meng Tian took Meng Yi to see him.
Ying Zheng still declared his views.
"See Your Majesty," the Montessori brothers said in unison.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "My dear friends, you don't need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng said: "Meng Yi, did Meng Tian tell you about my assassination?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, my brother mentioned it," Meng Yi said, "We plan to arrest and interrogate all those who have traveled hundreds of miles away. We will definitely find out where the traitors are hiding. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. I don't want you to mobilize the troops, but I want you to investigate secretly."
"A secret investigation?" Meng Tian hesitated, "Your Majesty, a secret investigation may allow the assassin to escape even if he is found."
"It doesn't matter. I believe you." Ying Zheng smiled.
"Thank you for your majesty's trust. I will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations and capture a group of assassins." Meng Yi said solemnly.
At this moment, Zhao Gao and the others arrived outside Xianyang Palace.
"Master and Prime Minister Feng, please wait a moment. I will report to Your Majesty." Zhao Gao said.
Hu Hai immediately said: "Go quickly, go quickly."
The anger in Zhao Gao's heart, damn it, if it weren't for the fact that you are easy to control and you dare to be arrogant, I would destroy you.
But he still kept a smile on his face, said his promise and entered the hall.
Entering the palace, Zhao Gao saw the two brothers Meng Tian. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately walked to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Hu Hai and Prime Minister Feng are waiting outside the palace."
"Let them come in." Ying Zheng said calmly, "Meng Tian, Meng Yi, you go down first.
If you have any plans, let me know. "
"No." Meng Tian and Meng Yi said in unison.
Zhao Gao also bowed slightly and walked out of the hall with Brother Mengtian.
"Eighteen. Young Master, Prime Minister Feng."
"General Meng, Master Meng."
The two parties greeted each other when they met, but Hu Hai said arrogantly: "Why are you here?"
Just as Meng Yi was about to speak, Meng Tian responded first: "Your Majesty told us two brothers something."
"What did my father tell you? Did he ask you to investigate my eldest brother?" Hu Hai asked.
Brother Mengtian was immediately puzzled. Just when he was about to ask why he wanted to investigate the eldest son, Zhao Gao spoke.
"Sir, please don't keep your Majesty waiting any longer."
Hearing this, Hu Hai waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and do your work. I'm going to see my father."
Meng Tian saw Hu Hai and Feng Quji walking into the hall, and immediately pulled Meng Yi out of the palace.
"Brother, why didn't you tell Mr. Hu Hai about the assassination?" Meng Yi asked.
"Your Majesty is not asking you to investigate secretly, which means that His Majesty does not want others to know about the assassination. If you tell it, it will not disrupt His Majesty's plan." Meng Tian replied.
"Thank you for reminding me, brother, I almost made a mistake." Meng Yi said gratefully.
"Okay, you should think about how to catch those assassins." Meng Tian said, "I checked the bows and arrows. They are not Da Qin bows and arrows, but Korean bows and arrows."
"Could Korean bows and arrows be Koreans?" Meng Yi said, "Now I know that there is really a Korean, and his name is Zhang Liang.
The whereabouts of this person are unknown. I only know that his father is a Korean official and wants to rebel against Qin. I have been investigating him for many years. But still to no avail. "
"As long as you have an idea, find a way to lure the snake out of the hole." Meng Tian said.
"Okay, I'll think of a way." Meng Yi said.
In the main hall.
When Feng Quji and Hu Hai saw Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng became furious before they even saluted.
"Hu Hai, Zhao Gao told me that you were idle every day during my absence, eating, drinking and having fun. You didn't even read a book properly for a whole day, right?"
Hu Hai was startled by Ying Zheng's sudden anger and fell to his knees on the ground, then looked at Zhao Gao angrily.
You bastard Zhao Gao actually told my father the truth.
"Father, please don't listen to Zhao Gao's nonsense. It's not that I don't want to study hard at all, but I think that the eldest brother and the second brother have become teachers of a strange man, so I have already learned what Zhao Gao and Feng Xiang taught me. No one has any interest.
I hope that my father will allow my son to join the family of Qi Ren, and ask my father for his permission. "
Then Hu Hai kowtowed to Ying Zheng several times to prove his determination.
Feng Quji said at this time: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty.
The minister has betrayed your majesty's trust and entrustment and failed to teach Mr. Hu Hai well. I hope your majesty will punish him. "
Ying Zheng looked at Feng Quji and Hu Hai, then looked at Zhao Gao, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Gao, Hu Hai has been acting so recklessly, did it just start in the past few days or has it always happened?"
Zhao Gao suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "This slave deserves to die. Please punish me."
Ying Zheng's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean that Hu Hai often behaves randomly, but you have always turned a blind eye, and even instigated him, making him continue to behave recklessly, and even get worse."
Damn it, Your Majesty must have discovered something. It shouldn't be, I have been hiding it and developing it secretly, and I shouldn't be discovered by His Majesty.
If it was to be discovered, it would have been discovered long ago.
After confirming that he had not been discovered, Zhao Gao immediately said aggrievedly: "It's unjust. Your Majesty, this slave is unjust.
Although Mr. Shishi is usually quite playful, he is still very serious when it is time to study.
Moreover, the young master often hangs himself out, and now he wants to join the family of a strange person. This shows that the young master is very studious. Your Majesty, please agree to the young master's request and let him join the family of a strange person. "
Feng Quji also followed up and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how powerful Qi Ren is. Since the eldest and second young masters have already joined Qi Ren's sect, then the 18th Young Master can also join Qi Ren's sect.
Nowadays, neither Wei Chen nor Mr. Zhao can teach Young Master Shiba. Instead of letting Young Master waste his time, it is better to let Young Master give it a try. "
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and thought for a moment.
"Okay, I agree. Next time when I go to meet a strange person, Hu Hai should go with me."
Hu Hai was overjoyed and immediately said: "Thank you, Father, thank you, Father, and I will definitely study hard. My son will definitely learn his true skills from this strange man."
Ying Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "I hope so. If you can't stand it, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely be able to bear it." Hu Hai said excitedly.
He was too excited at this time and did not hear the hidden meaning of Ying Zheng's words.
Zhao Gao didn't hear it. He was also happy for Hu Hai at this time, and even happier for himself. As long as Hu Hai could become a disciple of Qi Ren, Hu Hai would be one step closer to the throne.
Feng Quji frowned slightly. He felt that there was something in Ying Zheng's words, but he didn't know what he meant outside of it.
The emperor's heart was unpredictable, and Feng Quji didn't think much about it.
"Your Majesty is wise. Now that the eldest son, the second son, and the eighteenth son have become the disciples of Qi Ren, the Great Qin will become stronger and stronger, and the eternity will be just around the corner." Feng Quji patted his horse and said.
