Ying Zheng didn't look back, but he could feel the aura on his body and he relaxed a little.
The Iron Eagle Guards stood firmly beside him, and Han Tan and others also carefully watched their surroundings.
When the people saw the guards revealing their identities, they knelt on the ground in horror.
The Kuaiji County Sheriff wiped the cold sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead.
It was at this moment that Ying Zheng seemed to understand what Chen Ke wanted him to watch.
He adjusted his attitude and smiled.
"Xiang Liu, how do you manage Kuaiji County?"
Xiang Liu didn't dare to say a word at this time. The cold sweat on his spine spread from the tail vertebrae to the cervical vertebrae.
"Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and looked forward.
At this time, the Iron Eagle Guards and soldiers from Kuaiji County were salvaging what seemed to be the Kyushu Cauldron in the lake.
"If that is really the Kyushu Cauldron, you can be considered a meritorious one."
Standing next to Ying Zheng, Chen Ke clearly saw that when these words came to light, the expression of the Kuaiji County Sheriff suddenly softened a little.
It's like knowing that it must be the Kyushu Cauldron.
And this relief could not escape Ying Zheng's eyes. Ying Zheng turned his head and glanced at Chen Ke.
The shortcomings of the county system that this guy mentioned before... have now surfaced in the local area.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps.
Meng Tian walked quickly to Ying Zheng with a calm look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the big cauldron in the lake has been fished out."
"Your Majesty, please go and watch."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, glanced at Xiang Liu and said, "Let's go."
Everyone followed Ying Zheng's footsteps and came to the lake together, looking closely at the big cauldron that had been salvaged.
The lines on the cauldron are clearly visible, with two words in the center.
"Yuzhou"
Ying Zheng looked at the big cauldron and sighed faintly: "Is it really one of the Nine Provinces cauldrons?"
Li Si frowned. After he saluted, he said, "Your Majesty, please come forward and observe carefully."
Ying Zheng nodded: "Chen Ke, you should go and have a look too."
Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders, with helplessness on his face.
What does this have to do with myself?
Why do you have to drag yourself along? Wouldn't it be good to just let yourself sit in a corner and be in a daze?
He sighed and followed Li Si forward.

Xianyang City
Right Prime Minister's Mansion
Feng Quji looked at the honest man standing in front of him with a cold look on his face.
"Honestly explain what Zhao Gao ordered you to do, and maybe there is a way out."
He said meaningfully: "Now, Meng Tian and others are going on patrol with His Majesty. This is your only chance!"
"And I am the only one left in Xianyang City who can save your life."
The two people in front of him suddenly fell to their knees on the ground, with tears streaming down their faces.
Taishi Ling!
Xianyang Order!
Zhao Gao's two sons-in-law.
Of course, he was the son-in-law before he was purified. 【Note 1】
"Prime Minister, save me, Prime Minister, save me!"
The two of them kept wiping away tears. Who would have known that this disaster would fall from the sky, just as it was said, without any reason?
Taishi Ling Wang Mode said: "Prime Minister, Zhao Gao asked me to implicate General Mengtian and Master Fusu about the disaster star from heaven."
"Zhao Gao has been planning this for many years."
Disaster?
Feng Quji raised his eyebrows: "How does Zhao Gao know that a disaster star will definitely come to the world?"
Wang Mode was lying on the ground, his robe already wet with cold sweat.
"Replying to the Prime Minister, I observed that one day the star was about to fall, about ten days from now."
"I don't even know the rest."
After hearing this, Feng Quji narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person with some thoughts in his heart.
Xianyang Order——
Wang Lin.
"Wang Lin, what do you have to say?"
Wang Lin was more ambitious than Wang Mode. He sat there with a calm expression on his face.
"Zhao Gao asked me to spread messages throughout Xianyang City."
He seemed to have expected that Feng Quji would ask about this matter, and took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his sleeve.
"This is the message from Zhao Gao telling me to take a walk."
"Right Prime Minister, please take a look."
Feng Quji looked at the indifferent Wang Lin with a bit of curiosity in his expression.
However, when he opened the paper and saw the words on the paper, even Feng Quji couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Zhao Gao actually..."
He never expected that what Zhao Gao was planning was actually this!
This is simply...
...........
palace
Ying Zheng was sitting in the main hall, and Li Si, Meng Tian, and Chen Ke were all sitting there.
Li Si and Meng Tian were both helping Ying Zheng handle the government affairs at hand, but Chen Ke was the only one lying there half-hidden.
"bump"
Ying Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and threw a memorial directly at Chen Ke.
"You bastard, you know how to be lazy."
Chen Ke took the memorial and smiled.
"Your Majesty, how can I handle these matters? I am really causing trouble for Your Majesty by letting me handle it."
Ying Zheng sneered.
"Looking for trouble?"
"I see you are causing trouble for me now!"
Chen Ke curled his lips, but before he could quibble, Dunruo came in a hurry from a distance.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Ying Zheng glared at Chen Ke, and then snorted coldly: "Tell me what's going on."
Dunruo lowered his head, with a hint of coldness in his voice.
"Your Majesty, some Confucian scholars in Kuaiji County gathered together to discuss political affairs and criticize Your Majesty for being immoral and unworthy of being the emperor of the world."
"He even made arrogant comments about government affairs, talking about sacred objects, prefectures and counties, literary competitions, etc."
"When I first started, I followed His Majesty's instructions and ignored these people."
"It was only later that more and more of these people gathered, and in the end they even sat down and talked openly."
Dunruo raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng: "At this time, things seem to have developed to the point where we can no longer ignore it."
"Please give your Majesty's order."
Ying Zheng sighed after hearing Dunruo's words.
He looked at Chen Ke and said, "I didn't expect that you really guessed it right."
"How do you know that these people will make arrogant comments about government affairs and even go further and further?"
Chen Ke smiled slightly, and the look on his face looked very calm.
"Your Majesty, they attracted your Majesty to Kuaiji County and even used a real Nine Provinces Cauldron."
"With such a high price, I am thinking about what they are doing."
"I have a guess in my mind, but I don't know if it is correct or not, so I dare not tell His Majesty so clearly."
"But now, these Confucian scholars openly discuss government affairs and even criticize His Majesty and the county system. I will know it."
"I guessed it right."
Chen Ke had a tooth-ache smile on his face. He stood up and looked at Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, what Confucianism does is only destruction."
He sneered: "I used the Jiuding to attract His Majesty to Huiji County, and then let the Confucian scholars discuss the government affairs."
"I even suspect that the alchemists' offering of golden elixirs was also a part of it."
destroy? Alchemist? Kyushu tripod?
Chen Ke's words were like an invisible thread, connecting these clues together.
Ying Zheng's face was gloomy.
He connected everything together almost instantly.
He glanced at Li Si and Meng Tian and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Si took a step forward, nodded slightly and looked respectful.
"Your Majesty, I agree with Chen Shaofu's statement."
"What Confucians do is definitely not just discussing government affairs."
"Please also ask His Majesty to order Black Ice Platform to investigate this matter strictly!"
Meng Tian's expression was equally tense.
His back was already wet with cold sweat.
If Chen Ke hadn't revealed the matter, he wouldn't have even seen the connection clearly.
A gloomy look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes: "Chen Ke, what do you think this matter should be done?"
"Since you are willing to invite me to watch a good show, you must be ready, right?"
Chen Ke chuckled: "Your Majesty, I speculate that their purpose is to let Your Majesty catch them."
"It is not a serious crime for Confucian scholars to discuss the government's affairs unreasonably, but what if it is found out that they have colluded with the rebels of the six countries?"
Colluding with the traitors from the six countries?
Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly.
He seemed to understand the meaning of Chen Ke's words...
"You mean, they want me to kill people?"
"If I kill someone, can I publicize my reputation as a tyrant?"
Having said this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
"But so what?"
"As long as I am here, will they still dare to rebel?"
Ying Zheng's words were full of confidence, and his aura was overwhelming.
Chen Ke glanced at Ying Zheng and said quietly: "What if they don't want to extend His Majesty's life?"
"His Majesty."
Chen Ke stood up straight with respect in his eyes.
"I told Your Majesty before that the "golden elixir" does not exist, it is just a pattern formed by certain "rules". "
"But has your Majesty ever considered another issue?"
"Where does the golden elixir come from?"
"Does anyone know that you can practice the "Nine Transformations Golden Elixir" by doing this? "
Chen Ke's face was stern.
"Under the collision of rules, is there anything in the golden elixir that your Majesty's mortal body cannot bear?"
The implication of Chen Ke's words was instantly understood by everyone present...
Li Si's expression changed: "What do you mean..."
Chen Ke nodded slightly. Even if he didn't say what he said next, everyone understood it instantly...
Ying Zheng looked cold and hard.
"Chen Ke, I just have one question."
"Will the golden elixir harm my lifespan?"
Chen Ke remained silent.
And this has already been understood by Ying Zheng.
He smiled slightly, his smile was calm, but it made people feel the murderous intent in it...
Ying Zheng looked around at everyone.
"Chen Ke stays, you can go down."
Li Si and others immediately stood up, saluted and left quickly.
This is a place of right and wrong, don’t stay for a long time!
"bump!"
When the figures of several people disappeared into the hall, Ying Zheng's expression suddenly changed and he smashed the things in his hands on the ground!
He glared angrily and asked through gritted teeth: "Chen Ke, what do you know?"
"Confucianism? Or the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?"
"Or maybe it's other forces secretly in Da Qin?"
"Explain everything to me clearly from beginning to end!"
