"Mother, I'm only telling you this! The second son will follow me and work for Father, no, for the people."
Queen:!!!
Is it really okay for you to bring the person who is competing with you for the throne with you?
The eldest prince didn't care at all about his mother's shock and continued to speak, "Oh, by the way, my father also said that from now on, I should have an egg and a glass of milk in the morning. That way I can become smarter and study better."
Queen: !!
Well, it seems that the big liar is the emperor.
"Mother, please trust me this time. If I still fail, it won't be too late for you to go find Father again."
This was the second time the Queen saw determination in her son's eyes.
Last time, it was about practicing martial arts. He said he could stick to it, and he had indeed persisted for many years.
Forget it, all she wants is peace.
"My son, you must remember that you are the only relative left to your mother. No matter what, you must protect your life."
The eldest prince nodded solemnly. He knew that his mother had paid a lot to ensure his safe growth.
And he will also become the queen mother's support.

Early morning.
All the officials waited for half an hour before Emperor Qin Yuanhao finally arrived.
In the past, the censors would have started criticizing him long ago.
But His Majesty is now moody, and coupled with what happened yesterday, who would dare to go up and be the first one?
To put it bluntly, he was a coward.
But there are always some people who don't care about their lives.
Although the prime minister was imprisoned at home, his disciples were spread throughout the court, and it just so happened that this person did not attend the little princess's full moon banquet.
"Your Majesty, this morning court session concerns the country and its people. It is truly inappropriate for a king to be so late!"
"Secondly, your majesty should treat all your concubines equally. You haven't added any new concubines in the past two years."
"Your Majesty, you cannot favor Consort Chen alone!"
Qin Yuanhao looked at the person kneeling on the ground with a dark face.
Does he know this person, the Prime Minister's good disciple?
He only knows how to study and has no idea of adapting. He is a pedantic person.
The censor knelt on the ground, waiting for neither the crowd's approval nor the emperor's reply. With confusion in his eyes, he looked up quietly.
Then he saw Qin Yuanhao was furious.
He seemed to have said something he shouldn't have.
"My censor is supposed to supervise all officials and seek benefits for the people." Qin Yuanhao smiled instead of getting angry. "But you, on the other hand, are only targeting me."
"Do you think that since the treasury is full, we should have more concubines in the harem? Or do you think that I have been too negligent in the affairs of state and have not addressed the people's concerns?"
All the officials in the court, except for a few, hung their heads and dared not breathe, for fear that His Majesty would appoint someone.
The censor was about to speak when he was kicked by the official next to him.
"You stubborn guy, just stop talking. Can't you see that His Majesty is angry?"
"Look around carefully. There are so many fewer people attending court today."
"Think before you speak."
"Keep on your knees."
Censor:? ?
Seeing that the man was being persuaded, Qin Yuanhao said coldly: "Where is the leader of the imperial guards? Come forward and answer."
"I am here."
"Tell me! What did you find out?"
"Your Majesty, I interrogated the assassins overnight yesterday. They were all from Sang Country. They followed the merchants into the capital and eventually sneaked into the homes of various officials. They sneaked into the Yang Mansion as servants yesterday."
"I have also discovered that for many years, many people from Sang have pretended to be our Spring Examination students, replacing other people's exam papers, and even killing people to silence them."
Ministers:!
What?
The assassin turned out to be his own servant.
There are people from Sang among the officials in the court, so they must know everything about the Great Qin.
Several of the officials turned pale instantly. Among the servants arrested yesterday, there was one who had stayed in his house for three or four years.
These people are all from Sang country.
How many people did the Sang people bury in their Great Qin?
For a moment, everyone felt insecure.
"I am late, so I asked the imperial guards to arrest him. Otherwise, I don't know what words would have spread to Sang Country today."
Ministers: !!
Oh my god, this is too scary!
Sang State is just a small island country with only tens of thousands of people, yet it actually covets our Great Qin.
More importantly, they were completely unaware of it.
"You must be thinking it's ridiculous. How could officials we interact with every day be completely flawless?"
"That's all thanks to the Prime Minister!"
All the ministers turned pale with fear after hearing Qin Yuanhao's words. What did this matter have to do with the prime minister?
They didn't dare to think further. After all, half of the people in the court were the prime minister's disciples or students of the academy founded by the prime minister.
"Commander Zhou, continue." Qin Yuanhao snorted coldly and sat back on the dragon throne.
"I was so shocked to hear this news that I immediately dispatched a skilled member of the Imperial Guard to the Jinyu Academy with Lord Chu Zhou. We discovered a group of Sang people in the back mountains."
"Those Sang people were studying hard at night, learning all sorts of Daqin customs and local dialects, and we caught them red-handed."
"Jinyu Academy has been closed, and those students have been asked to return home and study on their own."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers knelt in the hall.
Qin Yuanhao snorted coldly, "You asked me why I was late. I personally went to interrogate those Sang people."
"Those Sang people stayed up all night, just to learn our customs and dialect, so that they could replace a certain scholar in the Spring Examination and become a member of the court."
"And you are completely unaware that all of our Great Qin's plans are fully known to the people of Sang."
