Chapter 23: Life is worse than death



No one expected that such an assassin would faint due to a failed assassination attempt.

Seeing this, Ying Yuan shook his head, sighed, and said, "Take him away."

"promise!"

Two guards pulled Jing Ke out of the Xuanzheng Hall.

Then, Ying Yuan looked at Nie Yinniang, who was standing there in amazement, and said with a smile, "Do you want to try it?"

Nie Yinniang: ...

She was horrified.

She was well aware of Jing Ke's martial arts prowess.

He can be regarded as one of the best young people in the Qin martial arts world.

However, it was unable to harm the tyrant emperor in the slightest.

Even if I try my best, I'm afraid the result will be the same.

It’s better not to go and make yourself bored.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of assassinating him, Ying Yuan was disappointed, but still unwilling to give up, and said:

"During these days, you and Jing Ke can discuss how to kill me. I will wait and see."

Nie Yinniang: ???

She found that she couldn't understand Ying Yuan at all.

"It seems that I still know too little about the tyrant."

Nie Yinniang murmured.

Why does this tyrant in front of me look like he wants to die?

But I can't kill him!

It’s really infuriating!

After Nie Yinniang was taken away, Zhao Yun clasped his fists and asked, "Your Majesty, the origins of these two assassins are unclear. Do you think we should investigate?"

He believed that there must be someone behind the assassination of the emperor by Jing Ke and Nie Yinniang.

Ying Yuan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. There are too many people in this world who want me dead. I hope they can really kill me."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun suddenly felt deeply impressed.

As expected, he is the Emperor.

He has the temperament of an emperor of all ages.

Even when faced with an assassination attempt on him, he remained calm.

Perhaps, only an emperor like Your Majesty governing the Qin Dynasty can truly achieve the revival of the Qin Dynasty.

......

evening.

Ying Yuan had his meal in Xuan Zheng Hall.

When Queen Daji learned the news of his assassination, she was shocked and rushed over.

When he learned that the two assassins were in the palace, he immediately wanted to order them to be executed by slow slicing.

But Ying Yuan refused.

If I kill them, where can I find assassins like them who want me to die at all costs?

"Your Majesty, you are so tolerant of these two assassins... What if those so-called jianghu people follow suit in the future? What will happen then?"

Daji has already developed murderous intentions.

In her heart, no one's safety is more important than Ying Yuan, including her own.

So, when he heard that someone was trying to assassinate him, he naturally felt extremely angry.

"I am fine, Queen, don't worry. I will keep them both, they will certainly be useful."

Ying Yuan held Daji's delicate hand affectionately and pulled her onto his legs.

Gradually.

Daji felt a heat inside her body.

She snuggled up to Ying Yuan's chest and guessed secretly.

What's the point of your Majesty keeping those two assassins?

Is it to make some people with ulterior motives afraid to act rashly?

If that's the case, then those two people are still of some use.

Your Majesty is truly wise and a capable monarch.

Being able to follow such a wise ruler is worth it, even if it means death.

After the two of them were affectionate.

Daji suddenly remembered something and leaned on Ying Yuan's chest, coquettishly saying, "Your Majesty, I heard that you went to Zuixianju today. Was it there that you were assassinated?"

Hearing this, the latter smiled and said, "I went out of town for a stroll and happened to go to that place."

Daji's legs kept rubbing together as she slowly spoke, "If Your Majesty is tired of playing with me, you can just hold a beauty pageant. There are so many beautiful women in the world. Why go to a place like that?"

Just as Ying Yuan was about to say something, he heard a voice coming from outside the door saying that Wei Zhongxian wanted to see him for an urgent matter.

Afterwards, Daji helped Ying Yuan undress.

And she planned to meet the two assassins.

After a while.

Ying Yuan sat at the desk with Wei Zhongxian kneeling in front of him.

The latter said: "Your Majesty, I have severely tortured those who were captured.

However, there are so many people involved in this, and I never imagined that more than half of the ministers in the court had engaged in corruption and bribery."

As he was speaking, Wei Zhongxian presented him with a memorial.

The memorial was densely packed with names of people.

When he saw the name above, Ying Yuan was not angry, but rather overjoyed.

He is indeed a famous traitor in history.

They are so greedy, one by one.

Very good, I need such a treacherous minister.

His thoughts were quickly interrupted by Wei Zhongxian, "Your Majesty, the amount of money these people have embezzled is truly incalculable. Do you want to bring them to justice?"

There is now enough evidence.

As long as the emperor gave the order, he would go and arrest people without hesitation.

In his eyes, what was written on the memorial was not only a personal name, but also a huge achievement!

As long as this matter is handled well, I will surely be further reused by Your Majesty.

However, Ying Yuan shook his head and said, "Keep this matter to yourself and don't mention it again."

If all of these were killed.

Who will dare to commit corruption in the future?

Who is still helping me to be incompetent and ruin my country?

So you must not kill!

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, then he understood the emperor's intention.
