Chapter 300 Who is he?
Meng Yi quickly arranged for someone to follow. Since Eunuch Zhao was not there at the moment, he was the only one who could arrange things.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for Zhang Liang?"
"Go to Yuanxi College."
Meng Yi thought to himself, isn't this just to find Zhang Liang? Although Yuanxi College is the Queen Mother's territory, the king doesn't know anyone else except Zhang Liang!
When Ying Zheng arrived, Zhang Liang had not returned yet.
This was the first time Ying Zheng had set foot here. As soon as he entered, a group of half-grown children came up and surrounded him.
Everyone tilted their heads up, their faces full of curiosity, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"I—let me take a look."
"Oh! I see. Do you also want to send your child to study here? Dean Zhang is out and hasn't come back yet, but I can show you around first."
Tao Yao was not surprised. Their college was now very famous in Xianyang, and many people wanted to send their children here. As one of the earliest students of Yuanxi College, she naturally took on the task of introduction.
She spoke eloquently, introducing the entire thing from the faculty, to the school philosophy, to the facilities in the school, to the teaching advantages.
Finally, he asked, "What do you think?"
"Very interesting." Although he came here to cause trouble, he had to admit that Zhang Liang did manage the place very well, and the abilities of these children were beyond his imagination.
Hearing that he was satisfied with this place, the children were extremely happy. However, there was one person in the crowd who stared blankly at Ying Zheng with wide eyes.
Ying Zheng noticed the child. He didn't know her, but it seemed that she knew him?
The girl didn't expect to see Dean Zhao's son here. Her mind went blank. Dean Zhao is the Queen Mother, so isn't Dean Zhao's son the king?
She trembled and cried, "Great, great king!"
Her voice was low, but loud enough for those around her to hear.
The little ones suddenly became quiet and looked at her in confusion, not understanding who she was calling.
Tao Yao was also stunned there, "What did you say?"
"She is Dean Zhao's son, our king!"
Ying Zheng rarely heard someone call him like this. They didn't call him Ying Zheng, nor did they call him the King, but her son.
He finally remembered who the person in front of him was. Wasn't he the skinny kid that the Queen Mother had given him food to support? He actually looked a little more pleasing to the eye!
"Are you not afraid of me?"
"I'm afraid, but you're a good person." The girl said timidly.
Ying Zheng laughed out loud. He had killed countless people, but there were still people who thought he was a good person!
It’s really interesting!
The other children didn’t understand, but Sister Daya said that he was a good person, so maybe this person really was a good person, and this person was Dean Zhao’s son. Dean Zhao was a good person. He not only gave them enough food to eat, but also let them go to school and taught them various skills. So her son must also be a good person!
Children's thinking is that simple.
When Zhang Liang returned with his belongings, he heard a commotion in the courtyard. He thought someone was fighting, but when he reached the door, he froze in thought. Why was the king here, surrounded by children?
He looked up at the sky to make sure that his mind was clear and he was not dreaming this time!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I, Zhang Liang, your Majesty, pay my respects to you."
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth, which were slightly raised, sank again when he saw Zhang Liang.
…
The surroundings became quiet.
"Why did the king come here in person today?" Zhang Liang was a little confused. It couldn't be that the king regretted letting him go and came out of the palace to kill him?
There's no need for him to come in person! Could it be that something happened to the Queen Mother?
Remembering Zhao Gao's hostility towards the Queen Mother, Zhang Liang bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I know I am guilty and will leave you alone. However, there is something I must say. Zhao Gao is a deceitful and ruthless man. Now he harbors dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother and intends to alienate you from her. Your Majesty should eliminate him as soon as possible."
Ying Zheng sneered, "Zhao Gao was once the Queen Mother's confidant. Why would he want to alienate me from her? Could it be that he was the one who framed you when you assassinated me?"
"Because the Queen Mother asked me to find evidence of Zhao Gao's crimes, he was worried that he would be blamed by the King, so he took the initiative to use me to sow discord between you and the Queen Mother, making you disbelieve the Queen Mother's words and even resent the Queen Mother. Naturally, he can get away with it easily." Zhang Liang raised his eyes and met the gloomy face of the King of Qin without retreating at all.
Meng Yi agreed, "The evidence of Zhao Gao's crimes that I submitted to Your Majesty was indeed sent by the Queen Mother."
Zhang Liang went on to say, "Not only that, I've also discovered that Zhao Gao was in collusion with someone in the harem. On the day you hosted the King of Han, it was he who led you to the Xizhi Road where you met Hu Bazi. I even suspect he drugged you, which is why he killed the imperial physician."
However, before Zhang Liang had time to find any substantial evidence, he was suddenly thrown into prison. Now that he has met the King of Qin today, he must make this matter clear. Just because he cannot find it doesn't mean that the King of Qin cannot find it.
"Do you know that falsely accusing others is also a serious crime in Qin?"
Zhang Liang knelt down and bowed, "Then I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Ying Zheng wanted to see the guilt on Zhang Liang's face, but he just knelt there straight.
Thinking about the recent events, his face became darker and darker. If what Zhang Liang said was true, then Zhao Gao could not be kept.
He laughed in anger. Who the hell was Zhao Gao? How could he have the guts to plot against him?
"Go back to the palace!" Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and left.
After the others left, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back to look at the little heads piled up in the crack of the door and said helplessly, "How long do you plan to listen there?"
"oops--"
A group of children fell in from behind the door, and there were even one or two teachers among them.
"Sir, we didn't mean to eavesdrop!"
It's because the door is not soundproof. They heard the gentleman and the king arguing. How could they not be curious about what happened!
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Weren't the Queen Mother and the King treating him badly? Then why did Zhao Gao do such a thing?"
Zhang Liang rubbed their heads and said, "Desires are insatiable. Some people will never know satisfaction. When you grow up, you must not be like him!"
"We won't! We should be grateful and repay kindness, even children know this!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang's mood suddenly calmed down and a smile appeared between his brows.
In Ganquan Palace, the main hall was filled with a strong smell of medicine. It was said that the queen mother had been ill for a long time and had been bedridden all these days, and the king did not send anyone to see her.
Many people suspected that the Queen Mother was dying.
Zhao Gao, upon hearing the news, looked relaxed and at ease. "The Queen Mother is ill, so what? The King has already said he won't see her. Do you think I should bother the King with this?"
The young eunuch lowered his head and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't want to see the King this time, but she wants to see you."
