“Yes, what should I do?”
“Should I continue on the path of the First Emperor and follow his direction?”
“Or should I start a new policy and take a different path?”
At this moment, Ying Su was deep in thought.
He was pondering his path to governing the country.
But…after only a moment’s reflection, he burst into laughter!
No matter what path he took, the ultimate goal was one and the same!
To make the country strong!
Yes, only by taking the path of a strong country could he earn points!
And with points, he could draw more characters!
One day, he would accumulate ten thousand points and draw characters like Zhang Juzheng and Xinling Jun!
With figures like them governing the country, how could the Qin Dynasty not become prosperous?
Moreover, besides their abilities, their loyalty was also absolutely trustworthy!
Yes!
Even without relying on the system’s 100% loyalty, their character was worthy of trust!
Emperor Wanli didn't go to court for fifteen years, yet Zhang Juzheng managed all affairs of the court for all those years, and never had any disloyal thoughts!
Xinling Jun Wei Wujie, single-handedly protected the Six Kingdoms for over ten years, relying solely on himself, making Wei a strong nation under the rule of the two incompetent rulers, Wei Zhaowang and Wei Anliwang.
In the end, even when stripped of his official title and dismissed from his post, even when he was suspected and ultimately killed, he never even thought of rebelling!
Ying Su admired the character of these two men from the bottom of his heart.
He had to earn enough points!
He thought to himself with unwavering determination.
At the same time, he couldn't help but check the points he had accumulated so far!
【Understanding the national situation, gain fifty points!】
【Attending court once, gain fifty points!】
【Relieving a disaster once, gain one hundred points!】
【Cai Lun successfully manufactures paper, gain one hundred points!】
【Yu Huatian recruits an army, gain one hundred points!】
..............
At that moment, a dense stream of information appeared on the system panel.
Ying Su smiled!
Now… in just a few days, he already had over six hundred points!
And when Zheng He sailed, that would be another huge batch of points!
Besides Zheng He’s voyage, there were many, many more opportunities to earn points!
Like right now, selling paper!
Sell paper?
Paper has been made?
Yes!
The task he gave Cai Lun was to manufacture one hundred thousand sheets of paper in three days!
While Cai Lun found it difficult, he still agreed.
And he did not disappoint!
He had completed the task two days ago.
Now, he had produced an additional twenty thousand sheets of paper!
Currently, he possessed one hundred and twenty thousand sheets of paper!
All he had to do now was to sell them.
At the same time, he was already walking outside Xianyang Palace!
These past few days, it wasn’t just the paper that had been produced.
Yu Huatian had also given him a pleasant surprise!
“Your Majesty!”
The moment he left the palace, instantly, the soldiers on both sides simultaneously shouted in unison, performing the halberd salute!
This was the surprise that Yu Huatian had prepared for him!
The Palace Guard!
His very own Palace Guard!
Although it wasn’t large yet, only two hundred men strong!
But these two hundred men were absolutely loyal to him, absolutely loyal to his every command!
And these were his personal guards!
Throughout Xianyang Palace, wherever he appeared, these two hundred guards would protect him, whether openly or secretly!
Likewise, Yu Huatian had also placed people in the Imperial Kitchen, the Palace Offices, and other places.
To put it bluntly, even when he was doing his business, he had someone to protect him!
In terms of food and drink, strict scrutiny was required in four stages: ingredients, cooking, serving, and presentation.
Each of these four major stages was under strict control. If even a single minor problem occurred, Yu Huatian’s method was simple: kill!
He wouldn’t just kill one person. He would kill everyone from the cooks to the soldiers who served the food, all of them!
Their families would also be killed.
Ying Su was very satisfied with this.
He also brought them along this time when he left the palace.
However, he was going out incognito, so it would be inconvenient for them to follow openly. They could only follow him in secret!
The only one following him openly was Li Yuanba!
And why did he leave the palace this time?
Of course, it was to sell paper!
However, he wouldn’t be selling the paper himself!
He would find someone else to sell it.
And the person he was looking for was neither Yu Huatian, Cai Lun, Zheng He, nor Li Yuanba!
In fact, it wasn’t any of the characters he had drawn from the system, but a person from this era!
..............................
The Left Chancellor’s Residence of the Qin Dynasty!
Li Si had been very anxious these past few days.
Even though he had been seeing Ying Su every day at court, and Ying Su hadn’t done anything to him, he was still anxious!
Chunyu Yue’s death made him uneasy!
Ying Su publicly said it was a warning to everyone, to prevent anyone from ever mentioning the feudal system again.
But…in his heart, he never thought so.
Chunyu Yue, was Fusu’s teacher, and a representative figure of the Confucian school of thought.
Although he and Li Si’s Legalist school had always been at odds, they had argued with each other countless times in front of the First Emperor.
But when facing Ying Su, he and Chunyu Yue stood together, ignoring Ying Su completely.
To put it bluntly, they didn’t acknowledge Ying Su as the emperor!
And now Chunyu Yue was dead, which meant that Ying Su was very unhappy about this.
He was killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
He was using Chunyu Yue to warn Li Si.
What should he do?
Should he be like the other fence-sitters in the court?
Go wherever the wind blows?
They were fine with doing that.
After all, they weren't important figures in the First Emperor’s eyes.
But Li Si was different. He was the First Emperor’s close advisor!
The First Emperor was still alive, and Ying Su had just ascended the throne. If Li Si immediately sided with Ying Su, wouldn’t the First Emperor have something to say about it?
What would he do if the First Emperor returned with his power and regained his throne?
But it wasn’t a good idea to keep things tense with Ying Su like this!
Yes!
Ying Su!
After days of investigation, he had already found out what happened that night!
It was indeed a rebellion!
And it wasn’t a large army!
Ying Su had gone to rebel with just one person!
Rebell with just one person?
Attack Xianyang Palace?
When Li Si first heard this, his eyes widened!
Throughout history, rebellions were countless, but never had anyone dared to attack the palace with just one other person!
It was unprecedented, unheard of!
Even the Classic of Mountains and Seas wouldn’t dare to write such a story!
Even ancient myths wouldn't dare to exaggerate like that!
But…it actually happened.
Two people, not only broke into the palace, but also killed all fifty thousand soldiers in the palace!
This scene made Li Si’s scalp tingle!
He had spasmed and twitched many times.
If that was all, it would have been fine!
But the key was that he felt Ying Su wasn’t patient and was a ruthless man of action!
What would he do if he offended Ying Su one day and Ying Su decided to do something to him?
He was a man who could not be stopped by fifty thousand soldiers!
How could he withstand Ying Su’s wrath?
Li Si was very conflicted.
But at that moment, suddenly, the butler rushed in:
“Master! Master! The… the Sixth… the Sixth Prince has arrived!”
