Ying Zheng covered the back of her cold hand with his backhand and said warmly: "I understand, don't worry."
Quan Shuyi felt the warmth on the back of her hand and was momentarily distracted. After a few moments, she suddenly hugged him.
Ying Zheng was slightly startled, then hesitantly put his backhand around her thin body.
Quan Shuyi buried her face on her son's shoulder. Although this thirteen-year-old boy had not yet reached the age of crowning, he was already taller than her mother.
"Tomorrow, don't worry about me. If you can really be valued by His Majesty, having a mother like me will only be an obstacle to you. If His Majesty wants to find another mother for you, just agree to it. …”
Ying Zheng did not expect that this woman who was born in the Western Region and did not understand the ethics of the Central Plains could think so far-term. After being surprised, his cold and hard heart relaxed, and even his eyes became a little hot.
He didn't even know whether this was the emotional residue of the original owner or the sadness and emotion he was touched by it.
Ying Zheng just patted her on the back and told her firmly and forcefully: "You are the one who raised me in this lonely Zhou palace. How could I have any other mother besides you?" The world is so big, from the dome to the underworld, there is no mother better than you!”
…
After waiting for a while, the emperor's attendants came.
The attendant lowered his eyes slightly and greeted Quan Shuyi and Ying Zheng step by step, and then said: "Your Majesty is busy with official duties, and you only have a quarter of an hour to talk to His Highness. How to use it, please make your own decision."
Polite enough, yet distant enough.
Ying Zheng responded indifferently.
What does it matter?
The emperor had no intention of pretending to be a loving father, nor did he want to pretend to be a dutiful son.
The emperor wanted a qualified heir, he wanted to be the successor of this huge country, and that was enough.
The entire journey was silent.
Liu Che, on the other hand, touched his chin and moved around in the space.
Li Yuanda was annoyed: "Why are you always going around? Go aside, I feel dizzy walking around here."
Liu Che chuckled twice and suddenly asked Ying Zheng: "First Emperor, brother, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Although he didn't see anyone, Ying Zheng started to get annoyed and felt dizzy.
But he felt that Liu Che didn't seem like someone who would take aim without aim, so he tolerated it and said, "Speak."
Liu Che clicked his tongue twice and said, "Consider her lucky."
Then he said: "Whether Emperor Zhou wants to find you a new mother or not, whether you want to accept it or not, is a matter between the two of you, but I feel that as a man who puts the country above everything else, , and the emperor is cold enough, if your words and deeds really meet the standards of the heir he wants, he will definitely kill Concubine Quan without hesitation."
Ying Zheng's expression changed.
The other people were also shocked.
If you think about it more carefully - it's really possible!
Others say it may not be possible, but Liu Yezhu, a hands-on practitioner, must have understood Emperor Zhou’s mental state at that time!
Ying Zheng was silent for a few moments, and then lowered his head for the first time: "Please teach me."
"Hey, who among us is following whom? Why are you being so polite!"
Liu Cherao was so happy that he almost flew into the sky, but he waved his hands modestly, but even so, his grin was wider than that of a wild boar.
He analyzed with everyone: "Quan Fei is more to Emperor Zhou than just hook Yi to me."
"She is young and beautiful. She must have resented the emperor because of her years of neglect. She was also from the Western Regions, and the people's customs are more open than those in the Central Plains. Once the emperor passed away, she became the mother of the new emperor and became the queen mother. Who would have known about her What can be done?"
"Besides, don't forget that she still has a dark history - why has she been left out for so many years? If she is still alive, her existence itself will not matter to the new emperor. Words are a stain. But if she dies, then everything will be over and it will be over!"
Everyone realized it.
After Ying Zheng figured this out, his expression not only did not loosen, but became more solemn.
Because he has no way to break this situation!
Emperor Zhou holds great power, and he has 10,000 ways to execute Concubine Quan!
Now it is not a death sentence. It is up to the new emperor to decide whether to listen or not. With Emperor Zhou's order, the concubine Quan will definitely die.
But Ying Zheng had no way to resist this behavior.
Resentment?
Emperor Zhou didn't care.
Threatening the people Emperor Zhou cared about?
Who do you think an absolutely ruthless emperor who puts his country above all else cares about?
Threatening to ruin his empire after his death?
Why not take a look at his ability to recognize people, or how he can torture you when he is alive?
Ying Zheng thought left and right, but he was at his wits' end!
Several people in the space were also thinking hard, with troubled expressions on their faces.
Only Liu Che touched his chin there and hey.
When Ying Zheng heard this voice, he knew that this bitch had another idea, so he asked him again in a soft voice: "Brother Liu, do you have any suggestions?"
"I dare not take it seriously," Liu Che's eyes flashed: "I do have a vicious idea!"
"Hey," Zhu Yuanzhang said, "How can it be said that this is a good idea to survive and is evil?"
Li Yuanda also said: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!"
Liu Che didn't show off, he laughed twice, and said with a sly look, "Do you still remember how we started this journey?"
Everyone was startled.
Dead memory, it suddenly started attacking me.

Petrified Ying Zheng: "..."
The rest of the petrified people: "..."
After a few moments, everyone recovered from their petrified state.
If you can take them down, there is no reason why you can’t take down Emperor Zhou!
Everyone was strangely silent for a moment, and then they all shuddered in unison: "This is indeed very vicious..."
Chapter 195
Once you understand this section, the rest will fall into place.
The emperor doesn't care whether his successors hate him or not, and he doesn't care whether those around him will be liquidated after his death. However, most monarchs - especially those who work hard when they are in power and manage the country prosperously are destined to be prosperous in the future. The heroes who left quite positive comments in the history books were all very concerned about their posthumous reputation.
Use this to counter him, one at a time!
Ying Zheng followed the emperor's attendants, while the rest of the people in the space were gearing up, trying to make up a rumor that would make the emperor's eyes darken immediately.
When they arrived at the emperor's place, a close servant went to report it. Not long after, he came again to convey the message: "Your Majesty has ordered His Highness to come in and have an audience."
Ying Zheng looked calm as he climbed up the stairs. After entering, he saw the emperor dressed in regular clothes, half of his body hidden behind the candlelight, and his expression was difficult to distinguish.
On both sides of the jade steps, there were several close ministers and clan members listed below. Seeing him entering, they all turned their attention to him.
Ying Zheng ignored the probing glances and went forward to salute the emperor, before being offered a seat.
Speaking of which, this seemed to be the first face-to-face conversation between father and son.
But at this moment, neither party felt embarrassed about it.
The emperor got straight to the point: "You seem to have read many classics from different sects."
Ying Zheng said: "Isn't this exactly the purpose of your Majesty's construction of Hongwen Pavilion?"
The emperor paused for a moment, then said: "Are you a believer of the Mohist family?"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "No."
The emperor asked again: "Is that Legalism?"
Ying Zheng shook his head again: "No."
The emperor then chuckled: "It can't be Mr. Huang, right?"
Ying Zheng once again gave a negative answer: "No."
He did not let the emperor continue to ask questions, but took the initiative and spoke first: "Why do you think your majesty believes in or adopts a certain school of thought?"
The emperor gave the answer without hesitation: "Of course to strengthen the country and then dominate the world!"
Ying Zheng then said: "In that case, does it matter which theory you believe in?"
"You appointed Jiang Maoyan, who was born in the Legalist family, to carry out reforms, and you married the daughter of a powerful son of the Mohist family to the prince who was most likely to succeed the Zhou Dynasty at that time. Are these two actions contradictory to each other? They are all for the sake of Just achieve that goal.”
"In that case," he shrugged slightly, "why should I care about which disciple I am?"
The emperor said categorically: "Because if a country wants to become strong, it must have a dominant ideology! The ideological leader I have chosen for the Zhou Kingdom is Legalism as the main one, and Mohism as the supplement. If you are in power, what will you do? ?”
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "It's probably a Confucian scholar and a Dharma master, combined with hundreds of schools of thought."
The emperor lowered his voice dangerously: "It sounds somewhat similar to your eldest brother's ideas."
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "They are completely different."
The emperor's thoughts were actually somewhat close to those of his previous life, so Ying Zheng was able to see the shortcomings of ten or even twenty years after his current life.
Because he has already walked this road, he knows exactly what is at the end of the road.
"For the monarch, what's the difference between Confucianism and Legalism? And what's the difference between the other sects in hundreds of schools of thought and these two schools? They just want to take what I want for my own use. That’s all.”
