Closing the notebook in his hand, Ying Zheng took a deep breath and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
"Of course, these are all things that will happen next. At the end of the year, Xu Fu will see that the First Emperor's health is getting worse and worse. He will no longer be able to deceive the First Emperor by staying in Xianyang. He will prepare a final deception and ask for 3,000 boys and girls, as well as three years of food, clothing, medicine, and farming tools that he has prepared, to go out to sea in search of immortals."
"In fact, he found a small island and declared himself king, living out his leisurely life there with his group of children."
Ying Zheng had finally calmed down, but Zhao Qingrui's words made his blood pressure soar again.
A few days ago, he had arrested all the alchemists who made elixirs for him, including Xu Fu.
When he gets back, he will bring Xu Fu out for interrogation alone. If what his daughter said is true, he will be tortured to death, Ying Zheng thought murderously.
"With just over 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers under your command, you want to rebel? I'm afraid it's not that easy." Ying Zheng suddenly laughed.
Compared to Fusu's honesty, this girl is brave and daring, she is really bold.
With just her makeshift team, there are many remnants of the six kingdoms in the Qin Dynasty, some of whom have such strength, and there are also some who are stronger than her.
Moreover, if she hadn't protected the things she took out, this girl would definitely have been eaten alive by those people.
These things can indeed bring good fortune to the people, but this is the Qin Dynasty, and the entire Qin Dynasty is controlled by the nobles, and the common people are just the lowest level.
According to her plan, the nobles would never allow it, as this would simply be undermining the nobles' foundation.
If these things were taken out, at most they would be used by the nobles, but it would be impossible to use them on the common people.
It's not easy to win people's hearts. This girl thinks too simply.
Zhao Qingrui held his head high with pride, very confident in the plan in his hand.
"Of course I can. I have enough money and food, and I have specialized training methods. If these people were to be sent out, they would definitely be able to defeat several people at once, not to mention being one against a hundred. Once the Mo family has forged the weapons I want, their combat effectiveness will surely be increased countless times."
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "So powerful?"
"Of course. I remember you sent some people there, Dad. You can ask them yourself and find out when the time comes."
Ying Zheng paused and realized that he had indeed sent quite a few people to Zhao Qingrui, most of whom were sent there to serve as guards for his daughter.
He would have to call the person over to ask about it. To be honest, he was really curious.
"Dad, you have also seen my plan. What do you think? When our great cause is accomplished, you can become the emperor." Zhao Qingrui looked at his father expectantly.
Ying Zheng, who knew he had a good chance of becoming an emperor in the future: ...
Ying Zheng looked at his daughter in confusion, "You're rebelling, don't you want to be the emperor yourself?"
Although there are no women who have become emperors now, the Queen Dowager Xuan has ruled the country before, which is no different from being an emperor.
"I don't want to be one. Being a tyrant is fine, but being a wise ruler is so tiring. There are endless political affairs to deal with every day. I have to get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs. This is definitely not suitable for me."
"Hehe, being a princess is pretty good. I have you, my dad, to back me up. I can do whatever I want without having to worry about anything else."
Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. You don't want to be the emperor, why are you causing so much trouble? If you had just told me what you wanted to do, I would have taken you back to Xianyang directly. There would have been no need for so much trouble.
But he felt that his daughter was very insightful. Being an emperor was indeed very tiring.
He basically never had a good rest. He had to correct more than 100 kilograms of bamboo slips every day, and all the affairs of the Qin Dynasty had to be arranged by him.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui deeply and said, "Just do whatever you want to do."
Ying Zheng's words made Meng Yi's eyes widen. The little princess was about to rebel, and His Majesty not only condoned the little princess's mischief, but even joined in her mischief?
Meng Yi felt that as he was getting older, there might be something wrong with his ears.
"Thank you, Dad." Zhao Qingrui smiled happily. Fortunately, his father did not object. After all, this was ancient times. Who could resist the temptation of being an emperor?
The father and daughter discussed in the yard for a long time, with Zhao Qingrui basically talking while Ying Zheng and Meng Yi listened.
Ying Zheng didn’t think too much about it. Anyway, the Qin Dynasty belonged to him, so he just treated it as playing with his daughter.
After Zhao Qingrui returned, Ying Zheng's face became gloomy.
"Your Majesty, what the little princess said will definitely not happen." Seeing that the First Emperor's face was so dark that it seemed like water was about to drip, Meng Yi hurriedly said.
Meng Yi was also feeling bitter. He didn't expect that Prince Hu Hai was so cruel. All the members of the Meng family were killed. And that Zhao Gao was full of evil intentions. He had to be on guard against him in the future.
Otherwise, find a way to kill him in advance.
"Yeah." Ying Zheng closed his eyes, his voice unable to conceal his fatigue.
What Zhao Qingrui said frightened him. In addition, his health was gradually improving because of the master that Zhao Qingrui had fabricated. He already believed Zhao Qingrui's words about 70%.
After Meng Yi left, Ying Zheng stood alone in the room. The lights were dim and the occasional croaking of frogs could be heard outside, making the surroundings even quieter.
When Zhao Qingrui got up in the morning, he found that his father was missing again.
The corners of his mouth twitched. Dad ran away again and could not be found.
After the court meeting, Ying Zheng looked at the pile of bamboo slips in front of him and really had no intention of reviewing them.
I couldn't sleep the whole night last night, and Zhao Qingrui's words kept popping up in my mind.
His eyes fell on Zhao Gao, who was serving beside him. He used to think he was very easy to use, but now he inexplicably felt that his face was full of treachery.
He really didn't expect that Zhao Gao was so bold that he dared to join forces with Li Si to forge the imperial edict.
According to him, if he died, the successor in his mind would naturally be Fusu, although Fusu often made him unhappy.
However, if Fusu really came to power, he would certainly not use Li Si because he was close to Confucianism.
Li Si is a power-hungry person, and what my daughter said is very likely to happen.
As for Hu Hai, it can be said that he never considered him from beginning to end.
Hu Hai was not good at studying and only knew how to play, so he was not capable of doing anything important.
It’s just that Hu Hai was a sweet-talker, and since he became emperor, the children have become much more distant from him.
Now, the children have grown up and started their own families, so they are naturally more distant from each other.
Only Hu Hai was brave, and although he was a little naughty, he was close to him, so he indulged Hu Hai a little more.
His Majesty's cold eyes made Zhao Gao's heart tremble. It was too frightening. He had been quite honest recently. Could it be that Meng Yi was speaking ill of him in front of His Majesty?
"What has Hu Hai been doing these days?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao calmly.
