The son of the First Emperor was not a dandy, but he was not afraid of any dandy.
The reason why Ying Hao, a dandy, was able to run rampant in Yongcheng was because of Ying Rong's favor.
So, what is Ying Rong capable of?
Why can you cover the sky with just one hand in Yongcheng?
In fact, in addition to being the most senior clan elder in the Ying Qin clan, he also represented a part of the clan and supported Ying Zheng.
When Lao Ai rebelled, Empress Dowager Zhao Ji contacted some members of the clan to abolish Ying Zheng.
The result was known to Ying Rong in advance and he reported it secretly to Ying Zheng.
Later, when Lao Ai failed, Ying Zheng bloodbathed the clan that supported Zhao Ji and instead supported the clan behind Ying Rong.
During the Qin State's unification of the Six Kingdoms, Ying Rong's three sons and one grandson all died on the battlefields of the Six Kingdoms.
Most of the clan members behind Ying Rong were killed or injured.
It can be said that the whole family is loyal.
This is also the reason why Yingzheng agreed without hesitation when Yingrong asked him to offer sacrifices to heaven in his ancestral temple during his eastern tour.
To put it bluntly, it is to give the clan a face.
Although the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, Ying Zheng did not enfeoff his sons or enfeoff the clan, but he did not give any less preferential treatment to the clan.
For example, Yongcheng is nominally the old capital of the Qin Dynasty, but it is actually the retirement home of the clan.
For example, the Yongcheng order could only be held by members of the clan, and almost all the fertile land near Yongcheng belonged to the clan.
The entire Yongcheng is equivalent to the clan's fiefdom.
Logically speaking, the Yongcheng clan should be content.
There is no such thing as contentment and dissatisfaction in a person's ambition.
Thinking that everything they paid was not equal to what they got, the clan became full of resentment.
Especially in the Great Qin Dynasty, except for the 'puppet Zong Zheng' Ying Teng, no one in the clan was truly their own, which made them feel a little dissatisfied with Ying Zheng.
And Ying Zheng's latest policy, making overseas marquises and kings, directly stimulated their nerves.
Most of their descendants have already shed blood on the battlefield, so how can anyone fight overseas?
Doesn’t this mean they can see it but not eat it?
If they had known that Ying Zheng had this skill, if they had known that Ying Zheng would not divide the six countries, they would not have let their descendants work so hard on the battlefield to unify the six countries!
As a result, the blood of the clan was almost drained.
Now it's better, all the advantages have been taken by foreigners. The clan members like me, who should be high in temples and appointed generals, can only live in the small Yongcheng to retire.
Will this make them willing?
Definitely not willing to give in!
Therefore, they need a common 'leader' to lead them out of the predicament, become bigger and stronger, and create greater glory.
And Ying Rong naturally became the 'leader'.
This is the reason why Ying Rong can "cover the sky with one hand" in Yongcheng.
Of course, this "one-handed covering of the sky" does not mean that he has the final say in everything, but that all the clans rely on him, including Ying Chang, the Yongcheng order.
From the bottom of his heart, Ying Rong didn't feel that his grandson had done much wrong.
He is just having fun.
However, Ying Rong was inexplicably afraid of Zhao Hao's unreasonable behavior.
This prince, who has risen to prominence at such a young age, is simply a machinist wizard.
His invisible operations hit the key points of the Qin Dynasty every time. He clearly arranged the old family headed by Wang Wan and the foreign guests headed by Li Si, but he did not deliberately target anyone, and he could still benefit from it. .
He did not take advantage of Ying Zheng's favor to form gangs and fight for his position.
He didn't even care much about court affairs and only turned things around in times of crisis.
In Ying Rong's view, Zhao Hao was born to be a rare wise king. If he paired up with a rare and powerful minister, the Qin Empire would probably reach a higher level with their joint efforts.
Unfortunately, there is no such person around Zhao Hao yet, so the clan has a chance to cooperate with him, at least until such a person appears around him, making him unable to leave the clan.
"Father, Ying Chang, the commander of Yongcheng, came to visit me. I told him that my father was not feeling well, but he insisted on seeing me!"
Daughter Ying Fang reported softly.
"I think it's Hao'er's business, let him come in!"
Ying Rong lay on the soft cushion and waved his hands feebly.
Ying Fang frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "It's true, Hao'er, can't you bear it? You must cause trouble at this time!"
"Okay, let Ying Chang come in quickly, I want to know how Haoer is doing, cough cough"
Ying Rong said and coughed twice. Ying Fang didn't dare to neglect anymore and hurriedly walked out of the room with small steps.
Soon, Ying Chang walked in with a face of shame and bowed deeply to Ying Rong: "Uncle Emperor, I would like to resign from the post of Yongcheng Order and return to the mountains and forests. Please allow me to do so!"
Ying Rong was not surprised at all, he just sighed: "What a pity, our Ying Qin clan is missing another outstanding man!"
"It is better to resign and go into seclusion than to live in Yongcheng!"
"Idiot, idiot, a leaf can cover your eyes!"
Ying Chang was stunned: "How can the emperor say this?"
"Ahem."
Ying Chang coughed twice, his tone was hoarse but he said every word: "Since Shang Yang's reform, there has been no distinction between nobles and nobles in the Qin State. You resigned and went into seclusion. Although you are a member of the royal family, you are also a common citizen of Qin, and you are not outside the law." Earth, can you guarantee that you will never break the law?
If you break the law, who will save you? "
"But."
Ying Zhang hesitated for a moment and said angrily: "We can't let Ying Zheng suffocate us, right?"
"Come here"
Ying Rong sighed and waved.
Ying Chang approached the cushion honestly, but heard Ying Rong say leisurely: "The situation in Da Qin has become clear, Ying Zheng will not give the clan another chance. Maybe, Zhao Hao will be another opportunity for us;
However, Zhao Hao does not trust us. He wants more and it depends on our sincerity. "
Having said this, he paused and then said, "As for Hao'er, let's see how he handles it first!"
"Uncle Huang means that Hao'er is our pawn to test Zhao Hao?"
Ying Chang looked at Ying Rong in surprise.
He never expected that Ying Rong, who had always loved his grandson, would be so ruthless.
However, if you think carefully about Ying Rong's experience, it is not difficult to understand his approach.
In order to please Ying Zheng, he sent all his sons and his newly grown grandson to the battlefield.
Although he was successful and famous, his people were gone.
"Is this possible?"
Seeing that Ying Rong remained silent, Ying Chang couldn't help but ask.
Ying Rong smiled coldly, closed his eyes immediately, waved his hands and said, "Go back and think about how Gou Jian, the king of Yue, succeeded. But if there are trade-offs, what can't be done?"
After Zhao Hao came out of Yongcheng Yamen, he did not leave Yongcheng Yamen. Instead, he ran to the back hall of the Yamen to wait for Han Xin and the others.
At this time, Han Xin had finished interrogating Ying Zhan and others and was reporting the case to Zhao Hao.
As Zhao Hao expected, some people actually changed their minds because of his words and admitted that Ying Hao had instructed them to assassinate Liu Bang and others.
But Ying Hao's guilt cannot be finalized in this way, because Ying Hao has not spoken yet.
"Sir, in my opinion, this Ying Hao will not admit his crime. Why don't we report it to His Majesty and let His Majesty make the decision?"
Han Xin asked somewhat depressedly after reporting the case.
Zhao Hao glanced at him and said thoughtfully: "It is naturally impossible for us to make the decision to deal with the clan members, but it is not impossible to let Ying Hao speak."
"Oh? Master, is there any way to make him confess?"
"What do you think Ying Hao relies on the most?"
"This," Han Xin said hesitantly, "could it be his grandfather Ying Rong?"
"No, his biggest reliance is that he is not afraid of death! Because he feels that it is impossible for him to die!"
Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled.
Han Xin frowned slightly: "Didn't the young master say that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people?"
"This is just for the common people. How many princes have you seen die for their sins?"
Zhao Hao asked back somewhat amusedly.
When Han Xin heard this, he was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Hao did not explain this issue to him. After all, with Han Xin's Machiavellian consciousness, it was normal for Han Xin to not understand everything.
"Okay, let's go to the prison first and don't worry about anything else!"
Seeing that Han Xin was silent, Zhao Hao smiled and waved his hand.
Soon, they arrived at Ying Hao's cell.
At this moment, Ying Hao has long lost the energy and energy he had before. He is lying motionless on the ground. If someone hadn't been watching him and checking his breathing every few moments, it would be easy for people to think that he was dead.
"The official has met the young master!"
The first time he saw Zhao Hao, the warden in Yongcheng Prison greeted him with a smile.
Zhao Hao looked at the warden and wondered why he was here. However, when he thought of Ying Hao's identity, he was immediately relieved.
As the saying goes, if you raise your hand, don’t hit someone with a smiling face. Zhao Hao naturally would not criticize the warden’s behavior harshly, and said with a smile on his face: “Thank you for your hard work, warden!”
"Wherever, the young master can come to this 'filthy' place, and it has made this place full of glory. How can I be honored by my subordinates?"
"Haha, you can talk."
Zhao Haopi responded with a smile, then glanced sideways at Ying Hao and said:
"How is he?"
"ah?"
The warden reacted for a moment and suddenly said: "Master, no, prisoner Ying Hao's condition is not very good. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to survive."
When Zhao Hao heard this, he felt a little funny in his heart, but he was very surprised: "Can't you get through it? Is it so serious?"
"Yes, it is indeed serious."
"Then according to the warden, how should we deal with it?"
"This, this."
The warden looked at a loss.
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and tried with a half-smile: "How about we find a mass grave and bury him?"
"ah?"
The warden was startled and thought to himself, how come these young men are more aggressive than the other?
However, before he could refuse Zhao Hao, Ying Hao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved.
"Haha, isn't this a good life?"
Zhao Hao smiled.
The warden grinned awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
Seemingly seeing his embarrassment, Han Xin waved to him expressionlessly: "You go down first, as long as you and I are here."
"But."
The warden hesitated.
Because he was afraid that Zhao Hao would abuse Ying Hao by lynching him.
If Ying Hao died in his prison, not to mention his position as warden, even his wealth and life might not be saved.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't do anything to him!"
Seeing that the warden was hesitant to speak, Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head, and then walked towards Ying Hao.
At this moment, Ying Hao was panicking. He really didn't want the warden to leave, but he couldn't stop him.
He could only allow the warden to exit the cell under the dual pressure of Zhao Hao and Han Xin.
When only he, Zhao Hao, and Han Xin were left in the cell, Ying Hao's heart was in his throat.
"Hey, you're still pretending to be dead!"
Zhao Hao walked up to Ying Hao and kicked him lightly.
Ying Hao subconsciously stirred and made a toad jump, jumping and crawling to the corner of the cell. He said with a look of horror: "What do you want to do? I'll tell you, my grandpa."
"Okay, okay, don't mention your grandpa!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand to interrupt what Ying Hao wanted to say, curled his lips and said: "I'm not afraid of him at all."
"You, you want to kill me?"
Although Ying Hao also knew that Zhao Hao was not afraid of his grandfather, the fear in his heart still surged into his heart and he asked what he wanted to ask the most.
"There are only eight hundred people like you in Da Qin, if not one thousand. Should I kill them all?"
Zhao Hao asked back with some contempt.
"You mean, you won't kill me?"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Ying Hao's eyes.
Zhao Hao smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, looked at him and said, "Although I won't kill you, I won't let you go easily."
"Why?"
Ying Hao asked in confusion: "Is it because of those foreigners?"
"Don't you know that you are your grandfather's pawn to test me? He can use you to test me, and I can use you to test him! Don't you understand such a simple thing?"
Zhao Hao's words were incomprehensible, making Ying Hao look confused, as if he vaguely understood something.
Looking at Ying Hao who lowered his head and said nothing, Zhao Hao smiled coldly in his heart, but looked at him quietly on his face.
Until Ying Hao spoke again: "What is your purpose?"
"Benefit!"
Zhao Hao blurted out two words.
Ying Hao tilted his head: "What benefit?"
"You won't understand even if I tell you, just stay here peacefully."
Zhao Hao shook his head with a half-smile, and then left the cell with Han Xin.
"Master, didn't you tell him to confess his crime? Why."
"Why are you saying these unintelligible things, right?"
Before Han Xin could finish speaking, Zhao Hao asked him a question with a smile.
Han Xin was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and immediately handed over his hand: "I am stupid, please tell me!"
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao snorted, and then asked: "Do you know how many hidden dangers our Great Qin has?"
"this"
Han Xin was speechless and looked confused.
Zhao Hao took a deep look at him and said with emotion:
"Killing Ying Hao is easy for me, but losing control of the clan is not what I want.
I am different from my father. I need a stable clan, not a clan with undercurrents! "
"Sometimes, when we want to accomplish something, what we fear most is not the blockers, but the disruptors. Do you understand?"
"?"
A black question mark slowly appeared on Han Xin's forehead.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead, shook his head and sighed: "Okay, forget it if you don't understand."
"No, sir, I would like to ask, is this a divorce plan on your part?"
"Oh? Did you see it?"
Zhao Hao raised an eyebrow to express his various emotions such as doubt, curiosity, surprise and consideration.
Han Xin said seriously: "Sir, although Han is unreasonable, he is not a fool either."
"Hahaha--"
Zhao Hao laughed suddenly and patted Han Xin's butt happily: "Okay! You're not a fool. Let's go and see Xiao He again!"
"Wait, wait a moment, sir!"
Seeing Zhao Hao leaving immediately, Han Xin quickly stopped him.
Zhao Hao paused and looked at Han Xin with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Well, I asked someone to let him go last night."
"Who was let go?"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment and seemed unable to react.
"Xiao He."
Han Xin scratched his head in embarrassment.
"you"
Zhao Hao was trembling with anger, raised his finger and pointed at Han Xin, and cursed: "You are a big idiot!"
