“What?”
“The sorcerers and magicians, all captured by him?”
In the gardens of the Xianyang Palace!
Upon hearing Zhao Gao's report, Ying Zheng was instantly shocked.
Then, he violently smashed a fruit onto the ground, shouting:
“What does he want with these people?”
“What is he trying to do?”
“Does he want to kill me?”
“Unable to bear the infamy of patricide, is he treating me like this?”
“He clearly knows I can't live without these elixirs, yet he still does this. What does he want?”
Ying Zheng was filled with boundless rage, and he smashed another bronze plate onto the ground.
Zhao Gao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling!
At this moment, he didn't even dare to breathe!
Ying Zheng, still furious, smashed everything on the low table to the ground and angrily ordered Zhao Gao:
“Immediately, immediately find sorcerers and magicians for me again. My quest for immortality cannot be neglected; this elixir of life must be refined for me!”
Zhao Gao nodded, “Yes!”
“Also, investigate Xu Fu's progress in seeking the elixir of life overseas!”
“See when he can return!”
He issued another command!
Zhao Gao also nodded, “Yes!”
Seeing Zhao Gao's obedient demeanor, at this moment, Ying Zheng's anger finally subsided a bit!
However, his obsession with the elixir of life grew even stronger!
Indeed!
Originally already obsessed with immortality, after Ying Su usurped the throne, this obsession deepened.
He yearned for the elixir of life, hoping to obtain it!
He believed that only by obtaining the elixir of life could he firmly hold the great Qin foundation he had established!
Moreover, only by obtaining the elixir of life could this great Qin legacy be passed down for generations!
Great Qin! Never perish!
I, Ying Zheng, shall also never perish!
Ying Zheng thought to himself.
But he also understood that no matter how many thoughts he had, they were just fantasies!
At this moment, he had to return to reality and asked Zhao Gao:
“That unfilial son, what has he been doing these days? The people of Dang County must be cursing him terribly!”
“And killing Chunyu Yue, this must have terrified the officials. Many people in the court must resent him now!”
“And that amnesty for the world, he should have already paid the price for his impulsiveness. He should understand that granting amnesty is not that simple!”
Ying Zheng smiled.
Indeed!
During this time, he had been having people observe Ying Su and report his daily activities to him.
And just thinking about the absurd things Ying Su did on his first day in court made him unable to stop laughing!
Sand mixed into the disaster relief grain!
Because Chunyu Yue mentioned the feudal system, he killed Chunyu Yue!
The most foolish thing was that so-called amnesty for the world.
Did he really think it was that simple to stop the suffering of the people?
Aside from the various human emotions involved, the most important point is that the treasury must be sufficient!
Did he really think the current treasury was as abundant as when the world was just unified?
In recent years, due to expenses from the Great Wall, the Straight Road, the Fast Road, and eastern tours, the treasury had long been depleted.
Amnesty for the world?
Can that really be done?
He might let the farmers go three years without paying taxes, but what about the Qin court?
How should the court operate?
Fool!
This is foolishness!
Acting on a whim, driven by passion, without any regard for the actual situation!
And such a monarch is a foolish ruler!
Busy as he may be, he accomplishes nothing!
In fact, the busier he is, the more chaotic the country becomes!
For example, Fu Chao, he is such a monarch!
Ying Su? He also has the potential to become such a monarch!
Don't believe it?
Just look at the two foolish things he did!
Mixing sand into the disaster relief grain and killing Chunyu Yue!
These are foolish acts!
First, let's talk about Chunyu Yue!
Indeed!
Chunyu Yue!
Look at Chunyu Yue, he is just one person.
But can you not see how many people supported the feudal system behind him?
When he first shouted for the feudal system, he wanted to kill him right away.
But considering the noble families behind him, he had to relent.
But what about Ying Su? He directly killed him and even brazenly said that discussing the feudal system was forbidden?
Hehe...
The story of Da Yu controlling the waters has long taught all emperors a lesson!
That is... when facing any direct conflict, blocking is always worse than guiding!
If you block their path to feudalism, how can they not be angry?
Will they not cause some trouble?
While preventing them from establishing feudalism, you must also guide them to understand that even without feudalism, they can still gain benefits!
Only then is it the true path!
Only then is it the way to govern a country!
Governing a country, can it be solved with just killing?
Thus, Ying Zheng looked down on such methods of resolving the feudal system through killing.
He could even assert that Ying Su's actions would surely bring disaster upon him!
The wealth of the world is held by the nobility, seven parts out of ten. Do you think this is a joke?
Ying Zheng shook his head repeatedly!
What made him laugh even more was mixing sand into the disaster relief grain!
How foolish!
Indeed!
How foolish!
The disaster victims are waiting eagerly for the relief grain every day!
And yet... the relief grain you distribute actually has sand mixed in?
Especially since you are a new emperor!
This is how you handle your first piece of state affairs, treating it so carelessly!
Hehehehe...
Ying Zheng laughed!
Laughing while shaking his head!
At the same time, he couldn't help but urge Zhao Gao again to tell him about the situation in Dang County!
He wanted to hear how the people of Dang County were cursing Ying Su!
However, in response to Ying Zheng's urging, Zhao Gao hesitated to answer!
“What? The report from Dang County hasn't come back yet?”
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao, his gaze icy!
He certainly knew that the report from Dang County had arrived.
Even if the court hadn't received the report yet, Zhao Gao must have had news.
After all, he was in charge of the world's largest intelligence organization, the Net!
In this world, any small event happening anywhere cannot escape Zhao Gao's eyes!
Faced with Ying Zheng's constant urging, Zhao Gao pondered for a long time, and finally, he knelt down with a thud!
Then, he raised a piece of cloth high above his head:
“Your Majesty, this is the evaluation of the new emperor by the people of Dang County. This is the true report obtained by Gan Shui leading twenty members of the Net in a covert investigation, absolutely no fabrication!”
“I beg Your Majesty... to quell your anger!”
