On the side of the aristocratic and powerful families, the person who spoke earlier said.
"I dare not question your Majesty, or the edict you wrote."
"But merchants like you, who are full of the stench of money, even if you donate silver and carve words on the stone tablet."
"It's hard to hide the lowly aura you carry."
The merchant who spoke earlier: "You!"
He was so angry that he wanted to go up and argue, but other merchants stopped him.
"Hey, hey, calm down, calm down!"
"Don't bother with them."
"We can't afford to offend..."
"Just bear with it for now."
"Stop talking and go to the palace first to donate silver."
The aristocratic and powerful people looked at the merchants with red faces due to anger, but they could do nothing about them, so they raised their chins proudly and smiled.
Look at them with contempt.
It's like watching a group of clowns.
When the time came, the palace maids led the representatives of the noble families and three merchants into the palace.
The other noble families and merchants who were unable to enter stood at the palace gate, waiting anxiously.
The nobles and dignitaries looked quite relaxed.
The merchants' faces were filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
"laugh!"
One of the powerful nobles sneered.
"They are just a bunch of merchants who are not presentable. Even if they have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the emperor, they are still not presentable."
"Oh, a bunch of lowly things."
The merchants who dared to challenge the powerful families have been selected as one of the top three representatives in terms of the amount of silver donated and have gone to the palace to meet the emperor.
The remaining merchants did not dare to say anything.
He just gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
His eyes were red from holding back.
The representatives of the noble families and three merchants who entered the palace followed the palace servants all the way forward.
The noble families who were able to enter the palace as representatives were all fortunate enough to have entered the palace.
Some of them have also held official positions.
I have some knowledge of the scenery in the palace and its majestic grandeur.
The three merchants were fortunate enough to enter the palace for the first time.
They were curious about everything in the palace.
I couldn't help but secretly raise my eyes and look to both sides.
However, they did not dare to look at it for too long. They just glanced at it a few times and then looked away.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and followed the palace servant carefully.
Standing at the stairs of Xianyang Palace.
The representatives of the aristocratic and powerful families were not coming here for the first time.
This wasn't the first time I'd seen these stairs and palace.
But he still couldn't hide the shock and submission in his eyes.
The layers of stairs soared into the clouds.
The majestic palace seems to be on the horizon.
It's impossible to touch.
Just one look from a distance can make people feel scared, and they want to kneel down immediately and bang their heads on the ground to show their submission.
The three merchants could not hide their fear. They followed the palace maid, shaking their legs, and stepped up the stairs step by step.
In the main hall.
Xia Lin came in from outside the hall and reported.
"Your Majesty, the representatives of the noble families and the top three merchants have arrived and are waiting outside the palace."
Ying Zheng: "Announce."
"promise."
Xia Lin walked quickly out of the hall and spoke to the waiting representatives of the noble families and the three merchants.
"His Majesty has summoned you. Please come in."
The representatives of the aristocratic and powerful families took a deep breath and walked in.
The three businessmen secretly pinched their thighs.
He walked into the hall with stiff steps.
"I greet your majesty."
"I greet your majesty."
Representatives of the noble families and three merchants all saluted Ying Zheng.
Xia Lin reminded from the side: "This is the national teacher."
The representatives of the aristocratic families and the three merchants did not dare to raise their heads and bowed to Qi Pan again.
"Meet the Imperial Master."
"Meet the Imperial Master."
Qi Pan said nothing and looked at Ying Zheng.
This is his home turf.
She just stood by and watched.
Ying Zheng said gently, "Well, get up."
"promise."
The three merchants did not expect that Ying Zheng's attitude would be so gentle.
Even the powerful and wealthy families look down on them.
But Ying Zheng was so gentle to them?!
It's incredible!
Ever since Ying Zheng became the King of Qin, he has been extremely ruthless and decisive in both his decision-making and his style of doing things!
It can even be called violent!
They always thought that Ying Zheng would be a man with a sinister face, vicious means, and a chilling person.
But I didn't expect that when I saw it today, there was such a huge contrast!
Jiang Xiang couldn't help but look up slightly and look at Ying Zheng.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Ying Zheng's gaze.
He was so scared that he immediately lowered his head and dared not look again.
I was still wailing in my heart.
It’s over, it ....
He was caught peeping at His Majesty.
This is a crime of great disrespect.
He is going to die.
It’s over.
He will be sentenced to death by His Majesty.
He will definitely be dragged out and skinned alive.
Your Majesty loves to skin people alive.
He definitely can't escape.
Daddy, Mommy, I am such an unfilial child...
Ying Zheng didn't realize Jiang Xiang's thoughts.
He just glanced at the three merchants.
He didn't care about Jiang Xiang's peeping.
He is not such a stingy person.
He has always been very tolerant towards those who are useful to the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng: "Have you all read the edict I posted?"
Um?
Jiang Xiang was stunned.
