Chapter 104 What Ying Zheng Sees
Changping Jun only felt that he was inexplicably blocked in his heart. This time, Queen Mother Zhao Ji's accidental move seemed to be the result of the Qin King Ying Zheng being forced to issue this royal decree due to filial piety and pressure from all sides. However, Changping Jun could see clearly that Qin King Ying Zheng must have some considerations behind this.
Now that the royal decree has been issued and has become an iron rule, Lord Changping feels a chill in his heart.
He thought he understood Qin King Ying Zheng very well, but now it seems that he only saw the surface of that man.
What did the integrated Imperial Household Department pave the way for?
Changping Jun couldn't understand all of this, but he knew that his worries must be related in some way.
While Changping Jun and Tian Guang were discussing what to do next in the mansion, in the palace, Queen Dowager Huayang was strolling in the garden with King Qin Ying Zheng. After talking for a while, Queen Dowager Huayang asked the others to leave.
"Zheng'er, tell me the truth. What are you doing this time?"
Queen Mother Huayang no longer dared to look down on this grandson, this child, and used coldness to cover up most of her emotions.
This time the king's decree was iron-clad and seemed wise, but in fact it gave people a very hasty feeling.
Ying Zheng did not intend to hide it from his grandmother, and said calmly: "Grandma, this matter is just Zheng'er going with the flow."
"Oh?" Empress Dowager Huayang was a little surprised and asked puzzledly: "You have already thought about this?"
"Yes," Ying Zheng nodded and chuckled, "Grandmother, since my brother took over the Black Ice Platform, he has sent me many plans."
"Grandma, guess what I understand from this?"
"What?" Queen Mother Huayang was very curious. Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I understand one thing, that is, the way to show off the king's achievements is not to focus on the king's personal preferences."
Queen Mother Huayang narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she understood something. Ying Zheng then said, "Grandmother, you know, although my cousin didn't say it explicitly, I have already seen clearly that his various plans are for the future of Qin and for me to do many, many things in the future."
"I am afraid that in the future I will disappoint many people because of my personal thoughts."
At this time, Queen Mother Huayang finally understood and continued, "So, when your mother mentioned this, you took advantage of the situation and blocked some of your own future options."
"Yes," Ying Zheng nodded, his eyes deep, and said in a leisurely tone: "Grandma, the future in my eyes is becoming clearer and clearer."
"Can I really achieve that kind of future?"
As he spoke, Ying Zheng smiled and continued, "I think that sometimes blocking certain retreat routes can allow me to concentrate on doing certain things."
Queen Mother Huayang looked at her grandson with admiration in her eyes. As a king, too many people were watching his every word and action. Even if there was a little preference, people would be eager to figure out how to get close to the king in this way.
Because being able to please the king means greater benefits.
But Ying Zheng cut off the path for some people to fawn on him. What will the future be like for such a king?
"Zheng'er, are you ready for this?" The Queen Mother Huayang said word by word, looking at her leisurely: "If you become lazy in the future, the blame will be several times more severe."
Ying Zheng's eyes showed determination, he nodded and smiled: "Grandmother, I have made up my mind."
Patting her grandson's hand, the Queen Mother Huayang smiled with appreciation. With such a heroic ruler, the Qin State was destined to prosper.
The grandfather and grandson strolled for a while before Ying Zheng left. After he left, the Queen Dowager Huayang's eyes were filled with emotions.
The reason why she asked about this was because she was worried that Ying Zheng was planning something with this matter. Now there were some rumors in Xianyang City, and she was worried.
"Xiong Qi, Xiong Qi, please don't do anything wrong." With a murmur, the Queen Mother Huayang's eyes were full of worry and helplessness. Although she was in the palace, her years of experience made her very perceptive. Some things, from her perspective, could actually be seen more clearly.
If possible, she really hoped that Changping Jun would abandon everything in Qin and return to Chu.
Otherwise, if something really happens in the future, the Chu family will be uprooted.
Queen Dowager Huayang suppressed her thoughts and didn't want to think about it anymore. She thought that when she found a good opportunity, she must remind or even warn Changping Jun.
In the palace, Ying Zheng had just returned and the secret report from Chang'an Jun Chengjiao was delivered. After reading it, Ying Zheng's expression did not change, as if nothing had happened.
"Lord Changping?" Ying Zheng's eyes were deep, but he did not make any other moves. There were some things that he suspected before Ying Zifei.
As a king, his trust was never absolute.
Similarly, as a king, everything he saw was cold-blooded calculations of interests.
He knew very well that once he was provoked by emotions, the possibility of making misjudgments would increase.
No one is not provoked by emotions, including him, Ying Zheng.
However, he often reminded himself that he must be vigilant at all times.
After asking the eunuch to archive the secret report, Ying Zheng began to look through other memorials. If the timing was not right, he would not doubt Changping Jun, because suspicion has never been a solution to a problem.
……
If Xianyang City is stable, all parts of Qin will be stable. Compared with the chivalrous spirit in the six states in Shandong, all parts of Qin give people a sense of order because of the Legalists in power.
Ying Zifei liked the Legalists very much because he felt that there were too few people in the world who could be bound by morality or had moral cultivation, and human desires could easily break through the dam of morality.
Rule by man is a beautiful fantasy, but rule by law is the most appropriate reality.
The law is not static. The Qin Dynasty became strong because of its laws. However, the Qin Dynasty's strength also required it to amend and change its laws step by step.
At this point, Ying Zifei has already found a very good candidate, but now is not the time to meet him.
The murderous atmosphere on the border seemed to exist forever, and the arrival of Ying Zifei made Meng Tian and others ready to make a move.
They are all a bunch of young men. They know that now is not the time for them to show their talents, but they still yearn to show their talents.
"Aren't you in the Xianyang City Guards?" Ying Zifei was a little surprised. These guys were all elites from various families. It could be said that they were all the future military team of King Qin Ying Zheng.
"Young master, it is the king's intention that we take turns to train at the border." Meng Tian explained, and Ying Zifei sighed. No wonder.
"Did you gain anything?" Ying Zifei understood everything and asked with a smile. Meng Tian and others told him what they had gained one by one.
After saying this, Meng Tian asked: "Sir, we want to go deep into the desert, please help us."
Seeing the group of people getting ready to make a move, Ying Zifei's eyebrows jumped and he waved his hand and said, "Don't do that. I can't arrange such an experience for you."
Damn, you really think it’s simple. Go deep into the desert for experience?
"Don't look for me. I don't have the courage."
