The next day,
In the majestic and majestic Zhangtai Palace,
Civil servants and military generals stood on the left and right sides of the hall, uniformly wearing black black bird official robes.
As the Third Highness of the Qin Kingdom, Ying Ziqing was naturally among the hundreds of officials and ministers who came to court.
And it was in a relatively front position among civil servants. In front of them were Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and a group of important ministers.
Ying Ziqing took a look at Lu Buwei, who was in the first place, and thought to himself: He is neither arrogant nor impetuous, he looks as stable as a mountain, and he is indeed an old fox with no appearance.
As for Lu Buwei, Ying Ziqing has already started to plan against him in his heart. After all, if Lu Buwei is not eliminated, Da Qin will not be able to be controlled by Ying Zheng.
Then he turned his attention to the eldest son Fusu, who was dressed in a Confucian robe. He was gentle and elegant, as if he had a bookish air.
Ying Ziqing sighed. Although Fusu was the eldest son, he didn't have the air of an eldest son, and he always took good care of him. Zulong currently had Fusu and him as his only heirs except his second brother who died young.
Therefore, Fusu also wanted to get closer to him on weekdays, but his predecessor did not like Confucianism, so his attitude towards Fusu was neither salty nor indifferent.
While Ying Ziqing was observing everyone in the court,
A sharp and long voice sounded in Zhangtai Palace:
"The king has arrived——"
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials straightened their straight bodies again, with solemn and respectful expressions.
The ancestral dragon Ying Zheng has a tall and straight figure and a majestic face. He wears a black and gold royal robe that stretches more than three feet to the floor. The black bird and black dragon echo each other. The pattern is majestic and simple. At his waist hangs the Tianwen Sword, which symbolizes royal power.
At the same time, all the officials bowed and raised their hands, shouting in unison:
"The Qin Dynasty lasts for ten thousand years, and the Great King lasts for ten thousand years."
Ying Zheng slowly walked towards the black dragon throne located at the top of the hall.
After sitting down, Ying Zheng waved his hand,
"Get up."
On the throne on the high platform, Ying Zheng's eyes revealed his majesty as he scanned the officials.
All the officials bowed their heads, but Lu Buwei, Wang Jian and others dared to look directly at the king of Qin.
While Ying Zheng was scanning, he also unexpectedly discovered that Ying Ziqing, who was dressed in black robe, could actually look directly at him today and nodded slightly.
Then he withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the ministers, and said calmly:
"My dear friends, what do you have to report today?"
Lu Buwei took the lead to walk out of the queue, raised his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the latest batch of tribute materials from South Korea has been delivered to Xianyang today. In order to show our great Qin demeanor, I propose that the King send an envoy to South Korea to consolidate the relationship between the two countries."
"Well, just follow what Lu Xiang said. I think Lu Xiang has already identified candidates for the envoy to South Korea." Ying Zheng said calmly.
A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Buwei's narrow eyes.
"It is up to me to share the worries of the King with such trivial matters."
Ying Zheng's face didn't change at all, he just said lightly, "Thank you, Prime Minister Lu."
Ying Ziqing in the queue secretly shook his head. Lu Buwei had already started to interfere in court affairs. He didn't expect Ying Zheng to tolerate it. However, Ying Ziqing thought about it again. A small impatience will mess up the big plan. Lu Buwei is powerful and Ying Zheng has it in his hands. The cards are not enough to defeat Lu Buwei.
Maybe this is the opportunity for me and the bad guy...
At this time, Zhongcheng Liu Guang, who was responsible for supervising the officials in the DPRK, walked out of the queue, bowed his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, there is someone I want to report."
Ying Zheng glanced at Liu Guang and said:
"Who is it?"
"Your Majesty, the one I want to report is His Highness, Ying Ziqing!"
Liu Guang's words made the air in the court seem to be stagnant, and all the officials looked at each other, wondering whether Liu Guang had taken the wrong medicine to report a third son who had not left the palace all year round.
Lu Buwei was also stunned. This Liu Guang was his subordinate, but he went to report His Highness the Third Prince of Qin without even saying hello.
Ying Zheng frowned and said coldly:
"Oh? What did Ziqing do that prompted Liu Aiqing to come forward to report it?"
Liu Guang heard the displeasure in Ying Zheng's words and insisted:
"Your Majesty, the guards of the Third Highness raped a civilian girl in a tavern in Xianyang City yesterday.
This matter was corroborated by the patrolling black armored troops and the tavern owner.
Your Highness's move will affect the status of our Da Qin royal family in the hearts of the people.
It will even be used by other countries to attack you, the king. I ask the king to severely punish the Third Highness as a warning to others. "
Ying Zheng did not get angry, but looked sideways at Ying Ziqing among the officials.
He said in a serious tone:
"Ziqing, is this something?"
Ying Ziqing stepped out and cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, I heard that this woman is a strange person from Baiyue, so I specially invited her to come to my house to talk about it. I just don't want my subordinates to act rudely."
There was no trace of happiness or anger on Ying Zheng's majestic face, and his sword eyebrows were slightly raised.
"Ziqing, what Liu Aiqing said makes sense, so,
Big mistakes can be avoided, but small mistakes are hard to blame. How do you think I should punish you? "
There was no trace of fear on Ying Ziqing's face, and his tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant:
"Since I need to be punished, I am willing to punish myself and serve as our envoy of the Qin Dynasty to South Korea to show the majesty of our Qin Dynasty and in order to pay for my fault."
Hearing Ying Ziqing's words, all the officials looked sideways. No one thought that His Highness, who was usually silent, would have such courage.
You must know that it is not an easy task to serve as an envoy to other countries. You may face various unexpected situations and difficulties from other countries.
A trace of surprise flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes. Originally, he was prepared to make this trivial matter a trivial matter, but he didn't expect that his son, who usually lived in seclusion, would actually take the initiative to ask for a mission to Korea.
"Ziqing, can you be sure that this matter is not a child's play."
Ying Ziqing's face showed a hint of youthful spirit at the right time, and he said firmly:
"My son, I have made up my mind. This trip will not insult the prestige of our country, Great Qin!"
A smile flashed across Ying Zheng's face,
"That being the case, I'm sure."
Although other ministers were very surprised by this, since the monarch Ying Zheng had issued the decree, the ministers could not express their opinions.
A trace of displeasure flashed across the leader Lu Buwei's face with his head lowered.
Originally, this mission to South Korea was to provide training for one of his favored disciples.
The second is to weaken Ying Zheng’s power as a king in the hearts of all officials.
In the end, he was messed up by the idiot Liu Guang and Ying Ziqing.
Not only did it fail to achieve its goal, but it also gave Ying Zheng a reputation for being fair to his heirs.
Ying Ziqing, who returned to the queue, had no emotion on his face and looked straight ahead, as if this incident had no impact on him at all.
…………
The night before,
Liu Mansion,
Liu Guang, who was sitting on a recliner and enjoying his concubine's massage, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head.
He turned around and saw that the concubine who was massaging him had passed out on the ground at some point. He was surrounded by mysterious people wearing black hats and masks. One of them even put a knife blade on his neck.
Liu Guang suddenly felt his thighs go weak and fell to his knees.
He said in a trembling tone: "I, I am the official Zhongcheng of Great Qin. Hey, what do you want to do?"
One of the bad guys in the lead kicked Liu Guang down and put an extremely sharp horizontal knife against Liu Guang's forehead.
He said in a gloomy tone:
"Master Liu, I just want to ask you to do a small favor."
The man waved his hand, and several bad guys came over dragging several old, weak, women and children.
The leader was stroking the child's head. The child was holding back tears and did not dare to move.
The man was playing with the taste:
"What a cute kid."
Seeing the man in black holding his only son's head in front of him, Liu Guang's eyes were split and he said hurriedly:
"You, you can do whatever you want me to do, as long as you don't touch my wife and children!"
"Yes, Mr. Liu is indeed a cheerful person. Don't worry, I'm just asking you to do a small thing..."
PS: Guys, you don’t want to be like Mr. Liu...
Then hand over all the five-star reviews and free gifts. (ಡωಡ)
