Transmigrating to Great Qin, Zhao Qingrui found herself with land and money at home, and a cheat system. To avoid becoming cannon fodder in chaotic times, she brought her father to recruit soldiers...
"My expectations of you are not high. I just want you to be content and not think about those unrealistic things." Ying Zheng looked at them indifferently.
Put away the disappointment in your eyes. The children have grown up now. They have their own ideas and ambitions.
If they had such ambitions before, he might have thought about it carefully.
But now, the Qin Dynasty is governed by my daughter and the country is peaceful and prosperous. It is a nice thought for her to jump out and want to pick the peaches.
These days, he had learned about the situation of his sons and daughters from the Jinyiwei. The more he learned, the more disappointed he became.
They secretly helped some businessmen evade taxes, and even worse, they did a lot of tricks in secret.
At present, the currency of Daqin is basically paper and pen. The transaction of gold has become less, and paper money and new coins are used together, so no major problems have occurred.
The existence of paper money also made many people eager to get their hands on it, and among these people was his son.
The banknotes currently in use in the Qin Dynasty are all printed and issued by the imperial court. The patterns and anti-counterfeiting technology inside are quite good, and there are currently no counterfeit banknotes on the market.
But this does not mean that there is no research in this direction. As long as they can develop the same currency as the imperial court, they will make a lot of money.
Ying Zheng knew what these people were thinking, but if they developed counterfeit money, it would have many negative effects on the Qin Dynasty.
What he couldn't accept the most was that his sons were involved, and not just one or two.
Looking at them lowering their heads and being obedient, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with bitterness.
"If you violate the Qin laws, all your crimes will be increased. You have seen what happened to Hu Hai. You will only live a worse life than him." Ying Zheng said lightly.
"Remember your father's teachings." Ying Zheng's harsh words still frightened them, and they hurriedly said respectfully.
A few people who had something fishy in their minds had their hearts beating fast at this moment, feeling that their father was warning them.
However, they still had some hope in their hearts, thinking that what the emperor said might not be what they thought.
Don't panic, or you'll be exposed.
When they thought of Hu Hai's end, they couldn't help but shudder.
She quietly glanced at her father who was sitting at the top. He had given the supreme position directly to her younger sister. She didn't even grow up in Xianyang and was still a girl, but her father was so partial to her.
Especially after seeing that Daqin was getting better and better, this unwillingness was infinitely magnified, especially under the guidance of some people, and a lot of ambitions were born.
"Since no one has come forward, you can take a look at this thing for yourselves." Ying Zheng took a stack of documents from the side and asked Zhao Gao to distribute them to them, asking them to take a detailed look.
After receiving these things, some people were confused and some were trembling with fear.
"Father, my ninth and twelfth brothers have gone too far." Gongzi Gao was shocked, then indignantly said that they had overstepped their bounds.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent." The young masters named in the documents were so frightened that their legs went weak. They were investigated by the Imperial Guards, and the secrets they had been hiding were known by their father and younger sister.
These things must never be admitted, especially the counterfeiting of banknotes. This is a capital crime and will also bring harm to your descendants.
"Father, was this found by the Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Young Master Jianglu couldn't help swallowing and looked at his brothers with complicated eyes. He usually played and laughed with them, but he didn't expect that each of them had such ambitions. They must be crazy.
Can't they see how secure Zhao Qingrui's position is? Engaging in these petty maneuvers is simply courting death.
"Well, I believe what the Jinyiwei found out. They have never made a mistake in gathering information." Ying Zheng glanced indifferently at the people who cried out that they were wronged. The disappointment in his eyes grew heavier. They dared to do things but not to take responsibility. They are not worthy of being used.
There are so many vacancies in the imperial court, and Zhao Qingrui will be quite tolerant of them as long as they work hard to improve themselves.
But they should not covet things that do not belong to them. They have high aspirations but a fragile life, and they should not consider their own worth.
"Do I need to produce more evidence and throw it in your faces?" Ying Zheng originally wanted to save their face, but seeing that they refused to admit it, he became even angrier.
Ying Zheng's cold words made them tremble slightly.
There was a dead silence in Zhangtai Palace, and no one spoke up to admit it.
"Zhao Gao, bring the evidence." Ying Zheng couldn't wait for them to repent, and he was too impatient to continue wasting time. There were still a lot of things to do in the court, and two grandchildren were about to be born, and he had not yet prepared the things they needed.
Just get rid of these sons. They have been living too comfortable lives. Let them experience the work that Hu Hai used to do.
When the things were brought up, the people who were kneeling and crying out for justice turned pale and their bodies trembled in an instant. It turned out that the emperor knew everything.
"Anything else to say?" Ying Zheng waited quietly for them to quibble.
However, to Ying Zheng's disappointment, they all pleaded guilty.
His authority in the hearts of these sons is much greater than Zhao Qingrui's. Few dare to directly refute his words, and sometimes they even dare not look their father in the eye.
"Oh, since you have all pleaded guilty, go back and dismiss those messy people. I have already sent people to arrest those who have committed crimes. You guys haven't committed any serious crimes, but you must be punished. All of you should go to Yingzhou Island and be handed over to Fenghai City for custody. You will all go mining for me for three years." Ying Zheng said lightly.
Mining? Gongzi Gao and the others were stunned. Is mining a job that humans can do? Didn’t you see that Hu Hai was so tired that he died of illness?
