The palace was empty, with only Ying Zheng sitting cross-legged there.
Chen Xuan was lying on Ying Zheng's shoulder, watching him practicing. He finally patted Ying Zheng's shoulder and said, "Zheng boy, something happened in Yongcheng."
Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
The breath was of dark yellow color and took the shape of a dragon, circling around Ying Zheng before disappearing.
"How could something happen in Yongcheng?" Ying Zheng glanced over, took Chen Xuan off his shoulder, and placed him on the table. "I remember that when Meng Ao left, he led over 10,000 soldiers, right?"
Chen Xuan twisted his body in dissatisfaction, not even looking at Ying Zheng, and lazily lay down, replying: "It's just that he brought too many soldiers, killed too many people, and forgot to put away his sword."
"Did you forget to sheath your sword?" Ying Zheng frowned, but he didn't show any anger. "As long as he doesn't massacre everyone in Yongcheng, then let him do what he wants."
Ying Zheng didn't know what "killing too many people" meant here, and subconsciously thought that he was going crazy and killed all the officials in Yongcheng.
Ying Zheng did not have any so-called good feelings towards that group of officials, otherwise he would not have seen a single official from Yongcheng during the sacrifice a while ago.
Chen Xuan raised his head in surprise, looked at Ying Zheng, who had already closed his eyes, and asked, "You really don't care? I remember there are quite a few people in Yongcheng!"
"The people of Guizhou?!" Ying Zheng looked at Chen Xuan, his calmness gone. "Meng Ao dares to touch the people of Guizhou?! I can't even remember when the Mohist School designated Yongcheng as their territory!"
This is a normal reaction!
Chen Xuan also knew that Ying Zheng might have misunderstood just now, and he also knew that he had not made him useless.
After all, even if Ying Zheng becomes a god or a saint in the future, he will still want the Great Qin, and if he wants the Great Qin, he will not be able to give up the people under him.
For people of this era, having enough food to eat is the most important issue, and everything else is secondary.
If it weren't for the fact that when Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Chen Xuan, through Ying Zichu's mouth, promised that the Qin State would have good weather and be safe from disasters from now on.
Otherwise, based on the way Ying Zheng cleansed the entire court, I'm afraid half of the entire Qin State would have rebelled.
Never underestimate the power of the people.
In every dynasty that followed, the reason why the aristocratic families became powerful was simply because they were able to incite the people of a region.
Public opinion is sometimes more important and greater than God's will.
"It's not Meng Ao's fault." Although Chen Xuan wanted to use this incident to suppress the Meng family, he would not show it so easily.
After all, he is just a political novice, and the experience he gained on the Internet in his previous life is not enough to support him to act pretentiously.
Ying Zheng understood politics better than he did. But how could Chen Xuan admit this fact?
It's just that when he saw the power of the Meng family, he wanted to suppress them.
After all, when it reaches a certain level, even if you don’t have that intention in your heart, your subordinates may have it.
This is also Chen Xuan's mistake. The current Qin State is different from any dynasty in later generations, and the current Ying Zheng is not comparable to any emperor in later generations.
In the Great Qin Empire built by Chen Xuan for Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng's words and decrees will be transmitted to all parts of the Great Qin Empire in full, and everyone can hear them clearly.
The idea that imperial power does not extend to the countryside does not exist in the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng's power did not grow in a day. It was accumulated bit by bit over several years and with Chen Xuan's help.
As mentioned earlier, the entire Qin State, both the military and civilians, particularly admired and worshipped Ying Zheng.
Under this premise, anyone who wants to rebel by relying on the army or public opinion is a joke.
It was also too superficial. It was also possible that the appearance of the previous person completely disrupted Chen Xuan's mind, making him no longer calm.
But even if he can see it now, Chen Xuan will probably continue down this path. After all, it is impossible for him to admit that he has done something stupid.
"It's just that those soldiers misunderstood the situation and dragged over 600 members of the Meng family to the riverbank, beheaded them, and then pushed them all in. Now, the entire Wei River is probably red."
It is impossible for six hundred people to dye the Wei River red. Even if they dye the area around Yongcheng red, it will slowly dissipate and dilute with the flow of water and finally disappear.
Yongcheng is not close to Xianyang. Even if the water flowing from Yongcheng has a little red color, it is extremely inconspicuous and cannot cause any sensation at all.
All of this was done by Chen Xuan, otherwise even the bloody scene in Yongcheng would not have lasted for such a long time.
This is also the reason why Meng Wu did not report it.
Who would have thought that just over 600 people could actually dye the Wei River blood red.
Even if thousands of people wiped their throats and poured their blood into the Wei River, it would be impossible to dye the Wei River bloody.
It may be particularly obvious at the beginning, but will slowly dissipate as time goes by.
The blood of thousands of people cannot last for two or three days.
"Six hundred people can change the color of the Wei River?!" Ying Zheng was a little angry. He was not angry that Meng Ao had killed those people, but he was angry about something else. "Mohism, how much foundation did Mohism have in Yongcheng?! They even dyed the Wei River a color!"
Ying Zheng did not condemn Meng Ao. He might have been a little angry when he first heard it, but now that he has calmed down, he knows that the truth behind it may be more than that.
Ying Zheng, a soldier under Bai Qi, knew that he was able to accurately and silently arrest all the Mohist disciples in Xianyang City, which had a population of hundreds of thousands, and not a single one of them was wrong.
Although Ying Zheng was younger, he had been to the battlefield, killed people with his own hands, and knew the cruelty of the battlefield.
