The turmoil in Xianyang naturally did not affect Ying Zheng.
He had just left Anyi and had not yet reached Xihe, so naturally he could not feel anything.
Han Fei and Li Si have been accompanying Ying Zheng these days, and Ying Zheng increasingly feels that these two will be his great talents in the court in the future.
Even when facing Cai Ze and Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng did not have this idea.
Cai Ze is content with what he has, while Lu Buwei is like a double-edged sword. The former is not the path that Ying Zheng wants to take, and the latter is too sharp and may backfire at any time.
Now, Ying Zheng is using Li Si and Han Fei very well, and they will naturally be of great use in the future.
As for the current Prime Minister Lu Buwei, if he knows how to deal with current affairs, he may be able to be granted the title of a lord. If he does not, he will have to be beheaded as a warning to the public.
It's almost noon now, so it's time to stop and have lunch.
Following Ying Zheng's order, the entire convoy stopped.
The huge convoy suddenly stopped, attracting great attention in this area.
However, it is just eye-catching.
"Lord Wu'an, how long will it take to get to Xihe City?" Ying Zheng asked Wang He, sitting on the ground with a cup of water in hand. "I want to return to Xianyang in fifteen days."
Wang He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, why is it so urgent? You've finally made this trip, why not take it slow and take it easy so you can get a clearer view of the Great Qin."
Ying Zheng swallowed his saliva, then looked at Wang He with a smile and said, "I have seen clearly a long time ago. I have walked this road twice, and there is really nothing interesting to see. It is better to return to Xianyang as soon as possible and handle some government affairs for my father."
Ying Zheng was not wrong, he had indeed taken this route twice.
One was when he first entered Qin territory and returned to Xianyang from Handan, and the other was when he left Xianyang and entered Anyi.
If I walk it again now, it can probably be considered the third time.
When Wang He heard this, he knew that Ying Zheng was worried about changes in Xianyang. After all, Ying Zichu's health had deteriorated, and he had been away from Xianyang for almost two months. He didn't know the situation inside Xianyang, so it was time for him to go back.
"If the emperor leaves the tribute behind, he can probably return to Xianyang in fifteen days. However, if he does that, I, this old minister, will not be able to accompany the emperor."
Ying Zheng knew what Wang He meant. After all, the wealth carried in the caravan behind him was equivalent to that of an entire country. He, Wang He, had to go with the team and take charge of this tribute. Otherwise, if something went wrong, he would not be able to bear the responsibility easily.
"That's fine. I have Wei Zhuang guarding me, so naturally, nothing will happen." Ying Zheng smiled and pointed at Wei Zhuang standing beside him. "But, is Wu'an Jun safe for me to go alone? If so, then I will leave."
Wang He knew that Ying Zheng was asking him if he could rest assured. After all, the royal order he received when he left Xianyang was to protect Ying Zheng, not these tributes.
However, with the power that Ying Zheng is showing now, Wang He naturally won't worry too much. After all, even a top assassin like Wei Zhuang couldn't hurt Ying Zheng at all.
The rangers and thieves along the way have been cleared out again, and there are no major forces, so Wang He naturally doesn't worry too much.
"When the Emperor travels, everything under heaven must retreat. With such power, what should an old minister fear?"
Ying Zheng smiled, said nothing more, picked up the lunch that had just been served and started eating.
Wang He naturally didn't say anything more. He took the lunch handed to him and started eating slowly.
The convoy soon set off again, but the leading carriage was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, martial law had been imposed in Xianyang City.
Qin soldiers once again filled the entire Xianyang. In front of the doors of any courtier's mansion, there were dozens of Qin soldiers guarding them.
It is called care, but in fact it is just supervision.
Among so many palaces, the royal palace is the most strictly guarded.
Although Ying Zichu had eliminated a group of people under the pretext of sending troops, those who had not made any mistakes were still left.
For example, the heir of King Xiaowen of Qin, Ying Qi.
At this time, the man's family had other ideas, and most of the court officials presented some gifts to show their sincerity.
But he didn't reply at all. After all, there were many Qin soldiers outside, most of whom were guarding him. He had no doubt that if he dared to show any sign, he would die miserably.
At least before Lu Buwei gave him the letter, he would not act rashly, and if necessary, he would throw out all those people who showed sincerity to take the blame.
When King Xiaowen of Qin was in power, he was no match for Ying Zichu. At that time, his power was the greatest among all the princes. He did not dare to raise an army then, and he would be even less brave now.
Now Ying Zichu alone has overwhelming power in Xianyang, and his son Ying Zheng has even shouted out the title of Emperor of Qin. All forces in the army have turned to the father and son, and Ying Xi has no chance to raise an army.
"Zongzheng, the king has sent someone to invite Zongzheng to the palace for a chat."
Zong Zheng was Ying Xi's position. After Ying Zichu ascended the throne, in order to show his magnanimity, he gave him full authority over the affairs of the royal family.
Ying Qi looked at the servant in front of him and felt a little frightened.
Inviting him to the palace now is nothing more than inviting him to prison, and more like inviting him to death.
But with Wang Ling in front of him, he had no power to resist at all, so he could only behave calmly and enter the palace obediently.
I only hope that Ying Zichu will consider the brotherhood and not kill him.
The carriage had already been prepared outside. Ying Xi didn't even have the chance to hesitate. He just sat in the carriage and headed towards the Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zichu had been waiting in the palace for a long time.
He called Ying Xi over not to kill him. After all, they were brothers, and beheading them would not be good for both him and Ying Zheng.
Ying Xi got off the carriage and entered the palace. He immediately saw Ying Zichu sitting at the top. He did not dare to be arrogant, but greeted him honestly and said: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the king."
