"stop!"
He shouted two stops, one after the other, and finally stopped him before the sharp blade penetrated the eunuch's neck.
However, the corners of Ying Xuan's eyes couldn't help but twitch twice. He clearly saw that the guard did not react at all when he heard the First Emperor's scolding. The long sword only paused when Ying Xuan's voice followed.
Ying Xuan was extremely sure at this moment that this was one of the guards loyal to him.
But I wonder if Ying Zheng noticed the scene just now.
It would be a bad thing if he was discovered and made him defensive.
"You bastard, who allowed you to draw a sword and kill people in front of all the princes?"
Ying Zheng was so angry that he suddenly stepped forward and snatched the sword from the guard's hand.
The guard fell to his knees after his weapon was taken away, but remained silent.
There was no mention at all that Ying Xuan wanted to kill the eunuch.
Seeing the First Emperor's frown and murderous intent gathering, Ying Xuan hurriedly stepped forward.
He didn't want to lose one of the loyal subordinates he had finally acquired just because of a little eunuch.
The next moment everyone heard a shrill cry.
"Father! You are here! Woohoo! My son is so miserable! You have to make the decision for me!"
All the princes looked on dumbfoundedly. The eldest brother who just had a disagreement and wanted to kill someone with a sword now looked like a wronged little wife.
"This eunuch has a vicious mind. He uses his poisonous tongue as a sharp sword to say that his sons and ministers are not what they appear, and his benevolence, virtue, and gentleness are all pretentious hypocrisy."
"You still accuse me of bullying the youngest Hu Hai, and you want Mr. Zhao to come to you to read a copy of me. How pitiful! I even took Hu Hai out of the palace to play last month."
"What's even more hateful is that he said that Hu Hai recognized Duke Zhao as his master, and he can walk around in this palace in the future!"
"My son, who was reprimanded by him, was greatly hurt in his heart. He deeply felt that he had no face to stay in Xianyang. My father should send me to the army!"
With the output of Ying Xuanku's meal, Ying Zheng's full of anger successfully turned into beating eyelids.
He looked at Ying Xuan, who was spotless, and the eunuch, who looked miserable with blood all over his body, suppressing his anger and asked.
"You're hurt inside? What about him?"
Ying Xuan replied hurriedly.
"Everything my son said is true."
When Ying Xuan saw that Ying Zheng didn't believe it, he immediately turned around and pointed at the princes and said.
"Father, if you don't believe me, just ask everyone!"
"They all saw it with their own eyes! Ask General Lu! He is the most honest and never dares to tell lies!"
"No, ask Ying Gao, he is the smartest person and he will definitely not dare to lie to you!"
As soon as these words came out, the princes quickly closed their mouths in shock.
The innocent Jiang Lu and Ying Gao stood up.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at them, causing their legs to tremble as they were already very afraid of this father.
"I ask you, does this eunuch say that Ying Xuan is different from what he looks like?"
They didn't intend to protect Ying Xuan, they just wanted to tell the truth.
But when it came to his mouth, he realized that everything Ying Xuan said was true.
He just changed some words with similar meanings in the description.
Young Master Gao did not dare to hesitate.
"Back to my father, this eunuch did say just now that my eldest brother has a reputation for benevolence."
After receiving the confirmation, Ying Zheng immediately narrowed his eyes. He really didn't believe that a young eunuch had such courage.
"Could he use Zhao Gao to threaten Ying Xuan?"
The general also replied respectfully.
"I did say that I would report to Duke Zhao to report to my father and punish my eldest brother."
There is no need to ask about the rest. These two items alone are enough to convict this eunuch.
But Ying Zheng still couldn't understand where a little eunuch got the courage.
"go on!"
Jiang Lu continued to tell.
"He also said that Hu Hai made the right choice to become Zhao Gong as his disciple. Even the eldest brother would not dare to offend Zhao Gong. From today on, no one can bully Hu Hai!"
Ying Zheng's face was expressionless when he heard this, and he looked at Hu Hai, who was already frightened.
The young Hu Hai didn't know what his father cared about, so he could only speak according to the facts.
"Second brother and third brother are right. It's true."
After saying this, Ying Zheng looked at the eunuch who was wailing miserably on the ground. There was no mercy in his eyes, and he only said something coldly.
"Drag it down!"
The farce ended, and Ying Zheng sat on the stage with no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
Breakfast has been delivered to the imperial dining room.
In this day and age, most families can only afford two meals.
People attach great importance to breakfast as the beginning of the day, and it can be said to be the most substantial meal of the day.
As various dishes filed in and were placed on the table in front of him by the maid, Ying Xuan licked his lips and bowed respectfully to the First Emperor, and then started eating eagerly.
Ying Zheng looked helpless at the eldest son, who had no mental disorder at all.
The smell of blood left by the eunuch in the hall still lingered.
All the princes were no longer in the mood to eat, and they just wanted to quickly answer Ying Zheng's school exam so that they could leave Chaoyang Palace.
Only Ying Xuan had no taboos. He couldn't pass the school exam anyway and he just kept eating.
While eating, I complained in my mind that novels are all lies. I also traveled back in time to ancient times to cook hot pot, eat crabs, steam and barbecue, and eat delicious and spicy food.
It's just nonsense, there is no chili, pepper, sesame paste, only fine salt, green onion and ginger for seasoning.
You are really crazy if you can make hot pot delicious.
In this day and age, you still have to let the chefs show their talents, and this thick soup with chicken is good.
The aroma is rich and the meat melts in your mouth. It’s a hundred times better than the hotpot I made the day before yesterday!
Ying Xuan, who stuffed it into his mouth with a slurp, didn't notice at all that the Chaoyang Palace was already silent.
Including Ying Zheng, everyone looked at Ying Xuan with a twitching mouth, with a huge appetite.
Ying Zheng was wondering why he was the only one who tasted the same dish when everyone was eating the same dish.
"Ahem!"
Two harsh coughs finally made Ying Xuan calm down a little.
He knew that the school exam was about to begin, so he had better keep quiet to avoid being kicked out.
He quickly stuffed a mouthful into his mouth, sat upright and chewed with his mouth closed.
Ying Zheng glared at him.
"Today's school exam is based on the recent southern expedition to Baiyue. You all can express your opinions."
"List the advantages and disadvantages of conquering Vietnam for the country and the people."
The second brother, Jiang Lu, spoke first.
"Returning to my father, I will advance the great power of the Qin Dynasty and frighten the surrounding heroes."
The third child Ying Gao also said.
"Going back to my father, conquering Yue can bring our territory of Great Qin directly to the South China Sea. From now on, there will be no threat from the south of Great Qin. We only need to defend the north and west. The borders that need to be guarded will be reduced, and the burden on the country and the people will also be reduced a lot."
Ying Zheng nodded. The third child had some brains, but the second child was completely stupid.
Then one by one the princes spoke out.
Ying Xuan ate every mouthful.
Ying Zheng ignored him until finally Hu Hai spoke.
"My son believes that conquering Yue will be of great benefit to our country, Qin, but it will also cause considerable harm."
These words made Ying Zheng's eyes light up after listening to him for a long time boasting about the benefits of conquering Vietnam.
"Brothers have already talked about the various benefits, so I can only talk about the dangers."
Hu Hai saw Ying Zheng nodding lightly. He became more confident after receiving the affirmation and wiped the tears from his face.
"It is not difficult to capture Baiyue. With the fierce warriors of Great Qin, we can only destroy Baiyue in a snap. What is really difficult is how to manage it after capture."
"Based on the current size of counties, Baiyue should be divided into four counties. However, these four counties are far away from Xianyang and the government orders cannot be delivered in time. Most of the local people are ignorant barbarians. It is very likely that they did not obey the orders of Qin after they were captured. Even if If there is another war in Da Qin, we will rebel behind our backs and cause trouble."
Hu Hai became more and more excited when he saw Ying Zheng nodding his head. What Mr. Zhao taught him two days ago was indeed useful.
"Then do you have any ideas on how to govern Baiyue?"
Hu Hai continued to follow Zhao Gaojiao's strategy.
"My son believes that after capturing Baiyue, we should leave the army to disperse and manage in the same place."
"Continue to educate the southern barbarians for decades under military governance, and you will have a stable south!"
"Now that the six countries are at peace, leaving another million troops will not only be a burden on the people of the country, but will also leave a lot of hidden dangers. Staying in Baiyue with half a million troops can kill two birds with one stone."
Ying Zheng sounded more and more satisfied. This was exactly what he thought. He didn't expect that Hu Hai had made such great progress under Zhao Gao's guidance.
But before Ying Zheng could praise him, a cold snort came out.
Ying Zheng suddenly looked at Ying Xuan standing aside with anger.
"What? Do you have any ideas?"
Ying Xuan sat up proudly, swallowed the last bite of food and said to Hu Hai.
"I don't know how Zhao Gao taught you, but don't you have some brains yourself? You only know how to copy other people's ideas. When will you have your own ideas?"
