"Your Majesty, your humble servant thanks you for your grace." Ying Qi knew that if he didn't want to express his gratitude here, he would really be insulting Ying Zheng. He still didn't get up immediately. Instead, he kowtowed to Ying Zheng again, then stood up unsteadily and followed the maid beside him to the table that had been set up long ago.
"What? Zong Zheng doesn't believe me?" Ying Zheng frowned, looking at Ying Xi who had just sat down, and said with some dissatisfaction, "I have already said that Zong Zheng is not only innocent, but also has merits. Is it possible that he doesn't trust me?!"
The last sentence carried the power of Ying Zheng himself, as well as the blessing of "The Greatest Emperor of All Time", and Chen Xuan who was fanning the flames.
These feelings of oppression mixed together and pushed Ying Qi to the ground, almost causing him to go into shock.
Fortunately, they all knew their limits and didn't use any harsh measures. They just taught him a lesson.
However, it was just a lesson, which was more than Ying Qi could bear.
"I absolutely do not have such thoughts. It's just that I feel guilty towards the emperor, so, so..." It was this oppression that made Ying Qi sober up a little.
He quickly stood up and knelt, fearing that Ying Zheng would do it to him again.
"I feel that Zong Zheng seems to be in a bad mood today, but is he scared?" Ying Zheng did not bother about what was behind the "talent". What he needed now was an obedient tool with his own thoughts.
Even if he was an emperor, even if he was the Son of Heaven, the Qin royal family could not be completely eliminated in an instant.
Besides, it is impossible to kill all the royal family of Qin, but Ying Zheng will not let them dirty his eyes.
So we need a tool, an exceptionally obedient tool.
And Ying Xi, no matter what, meets this condition exceptionally well.
"I was simply summoned by the Emperor suddenly, and seeing His Majesty face to face, I was a little excited."
Ying Xi certainly would not admit that he was scared. He didn't know what Ying Zheng's character was like, but as long as he said nice things, he could always touch Ying Zheng's heart.
"Oh? If I summon you every day in the future, you might faint." Ying Zheng laughed, then looked at Ying Xi, who was kneeling firmly below, and said, "I won't beat around the bush. I think you are useful."
Originally, Ying Zheng's first sentence made Ying Xi really excited, and the next sentence directly shattered Ying Xi's inner fear.
"I thank the Emperor for his grace." Ying Xi looked up at Ying Zheng for the first time, his face filled with excitement. "I, Ying Xi, will never let the Emperor down."
"That's excellent." Ying Zheng's face was filled with amusement. "I don't want to hear any other opinions from the royal family. If you do well, what's wrong with me getting a little immortality?"
This time he was not just excited, it was the first time that Ying Zheng revealed to someone other than his confidants that he could grant people immortality.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, here, Ying Xi can only believe it and will believe it.
If there really are gods and saints in this world, then Ying Zheng must be the one who resembles them the most. To be precise, Ying Zheng is a god, an immortal, and a saint.
He is the darling of heaven and earth, the emperor of all things, and the Son of Heaven on earth.
The immortality promised by Ying Zheng is immortality, no matter what it is.
"I will certainly not let the emperor down!" Ying Xi didn't know how many times he had expressed this. His previously ups and downs in mood had completely stopped and reached a peak.
"I heard something I shouldn't have heard yesterday. Do you understand what to do?"
Ying Xi lowered his head again, his excitement unconcealed in his words: "I know what to do, Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
"Okay, let's leave now." Ying Zheng seemed to be really relieved. The door to the palace happened to open. Before Ying Xi apologized and left, he came to the outside of the palace gate and stared blankly at the closed palace gate in front of him.
If it weren't for the fact that the collar of Ying Xi's clothes was still in use, he would have thought that the scene just now was an illusion created by kneeling.
Since it is not an illusion, there is naturally no reason to be lazy.
Are you restless?
A cruel look flashed across Ying Xi's face.
If you are not content, then don't be content!
…
The tragedy of Yongcheng has passed, but the impact it caused is far from being eliminated in one night.
This ancient capital of the Qin Dynasty was suddenly stained with blood, completely destroying its original simplicity.
The more than 10,000 soldiers brought by Meng Ao have taken over the city.
No one dared to resist. The tragedy of the Mo family yesterday was still stained with blood on the streets of Yongcheng, and no one would show up at this time.
Everything seemed normal, yet there was something indescribably strange about it.
Although it was almost summer, the people in this city felt a coldness that was different from winter.
"Meng Cheng, you are so brave."
At this time, in the Yongcheng County Government, Meng Ao sat in the lobby, staring coldly at Meng Cheng who was kneeling on the ground. On both sides stood Wei Liao and Meng Wu, as well as some soldiers.
Meng Cheng knelt on the ground, trembling.
He already had something to hide, and now after being frightened like this, he dared not speak.
He had heard everything yesterday, and it seemed that anyone who sent gifts to the palace was labeled a rebel.
Even if he just listened to it insincerely, or even lied to himself, saying that it was just a threat and a trick to trick him.
But now that Meng Ao has personally intervened, it proves that what he heard yesterday was true, and he, Meng Cheng, was really labeled a traitor.
In addition, Meng Ao led his troops to massacre the entire Mohist school yesterday. No one would believe that this rebellion case had nothing to do with the Mohist school.
Since the largest faction of the rebels is in Yongcheng, which is under the jurisdiction of Meng Cheng, and there is also the gift-giving incident, this basically proves that Meng Cheng is a member of the rebels.
