Ying Zichu waited until Ying Xi finished bowing before smiling and offering him a false support, saying, "Brother, why are you so polite? Why don't you quickly let Zongzheng take his seat?"
The first sentence was said to Ying Qi, and the second sentence was said to the guards and maids around him.
Ying Xi's heart was completely in turmoil. Ying Zichu calling him "big brother" was not a sign of intimacy, but a warning.
After all, the two of them were not friendly, especially when Ying Zheng had not returned to Qin and King Xiaowen of Qin was still alive. He almost killed the man in front of him for the throne.
Now that the eldest brother is calling out, it naturally means to give orders.
"Your Majesty is polite, but etiquette must not be abandoned. In the court, Your Majesty is the ruler and the ministers are the ministers. There is no such thing as an elder brother or an inferior brother."
Ying Qi bowed his head, fearing that Ying Zichu would find a reason to kill him.
When Ying Zichu saw this look, he knew that Ying Qi would not have any other thoughts, but he still had to give him a warning.
After all, Ying Zheng was still too young and had not yet been crowned. If this group of shameless people used the ancestral laws to restrain Ying Zheng, although it would have no effect, it would still be a trouble.
"I heard that many people in Xianyang have sent a lot of gifts to my mansion these days. How much did you accept?"
Ying Qi felt like he was struck by a bolt of lightning, which crushed him so much that his eyes went dark. All his thoughts instantly disappeared, for he was afraid that Ying Zichu would see him and take the opportunity to kill him.
"I have not collected any of them. They are all piled up in front of the palace gate. If Your Majesty is interested, I will have someone bring them to you right away."
Fortunately, I was careful and kept all the sincerity behind the door. I could say I accepted it or not, but I didn't accept it either. I was just afraid that such a situation would happen and I would be unable to deal with it.
Ying Zichu naturally inquired about it, and was not surprised to hear such words. He just stood up slightly, took two steps down, stared at Ying Qi and said:
"I don't care about those things. If you accept them, it's fine. I won't blame you. I'm just afraid that you might have other ideas, which would be bad.
"Brother, you have no other ideas, have you?!"
The last sentence is a question.
Ying Qi was deafened and his consciousness became chaotic. He agreed to everything in a daze and walked out in a daze.
It was not until he got into the carriage and returned to the mansion that he realized that he had somehow saved his life.
