The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Taihang left the palace.

The mountains are spreading, and the palace is hidden in the mountains. From a distance, the clouds and mountains are shrouded in mist, like a fairy palace in the clouds. From a close look, the atmosphere is majestic, with palaces stacked one on top of another and scattered in an orderly manner.

Since Emperor Qin was attacked, the ministers had not tried to persuade him to leave here and go to a safer place. For example, Shangdang County City has thick walls, garrisoned troops, open terrain and convenient transportation.

But Emperor Qin finally refused. It was here that Emperor Qin completed the largest purge since Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms.

Rivers of blood flowed from Zhao's land, and tens of thousands of people fell to the ground. The slight mountain wind blowing at this time was filled with the smell of blood.

The ministers are frightened, and these days, they are cautious, lest they be implicated.

However, there is something different today after all.

The prince of the empire will resist Taihang's departure from the palace this morning. The emperor of the empire and the future heir of the empire are going to have a meeting. What will be the result? No one knows.

At this moment, the palace was quiet, with only one or two birds chirping occasionally.

However, everyone understands that for the empire, a bigger storm may be about to arise.

The intensity of its influence was far more cruel than the purges of the Zhao region, and its impact was so wide that perhaps the entire world was shaken by it.

It is said on the stone of Yinghuo that the one who destroyed Qin will die.

What does the word Yi represent? It's clear to everyone.

This is already an open and undiscussable secret among the high-level officials of the empire. As time goes by, this sentence is also faintly spread among the laborers in Guizhou.

The scope is so wide and the impact is so great that even Emperor Qin cannot ignore it.

Moreover, Prince Qin also destroyed the Yin and Yang family. You know, the Yin and Yang family has an important mission to provide the elixir for Emperor Qin. After the incident, although Emperor Qin ordered all parts of the country to clear out the remnants of the Yin Yang family, in the eyes of Li Si, Zhao Gao and other current ministers, this was somewhat like wiping Ying Ziyi's butt.

After all, the prince of the empire went his own way and destroyed the Yin and Yang family without even communicating with Emperor Qin beforehand. What a contempt for the holy will! However, if Emperor Qin punished the prince for this, it would undoubtedly be a joke to outsiders. In Zhao Gao's view, Emperor Qin's handling of the Yin and Yang family was undoubtedly very clever.

However, how are you going to pass this level, Ying Ziyi?

As the carriage slowly approached, Zhao Gao, who was ordered to greet the prince, showed an official smile on his face.

But there was boundless coldness in those sinister eyes.

Although Zhao Gao cannot be said to be the person who hates Ying Ziyi the most in the world, there is absolutely no problem in adding one after this sentence.

In the battle of Nanyang in the past year, all the elite men in Zhao Gao's hands were wiped out. He himself suffered for this and spent three months in the sky prison in Tingwei's mansion.

The gloomy environment, the food that is hard to swallow, the mind-wrenching sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling...

Bit by bit, the seeds of hatred seeped into Zhao Gao's heart.

Three months later, although Zhao Gao was pardoned and regained his position as Zhongshu Fu Ling, Zhao Gao, who had lost his net, was no different from a tiger without his teeth.

"Hey! It's the order of the CRRC! Long time no see!" Ying Ziyi smiled brightly and said hello when he saw Zhao Gao. If others didn't know better, they would really think that the relationship between these two people is so good.

"My servant pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhao Gao stepped forward and saluted Ying Ziyi. That gloomy face was now full of smiles, and every move he made was respectful.

"His Majesty the Emperor dismissed all officials today and specially waited for His Highness the Crown Prince in the palace."

"Really? Then let's lead the way!"

The more Zhao Gao acted like this, the more wary Ying Ziyi became.

The vermilion door was opened, and silence remained in the empty palace.

Emperor Qin was sitting on the throne, and the imperial case was piled with rolls of bamboo slips. Emperor Qin held the bamboo slips in his hand and turned them over one scroll after another.

Ying Ziyi walked into the main hall and waited until the vermilion door was closed.

Ying Ziyi trotted forward for a short distance, used the momentum to kneel down, and slid across the long distance. His knees rubbed against the floor and made a harsh sound. Finally, he stopped ten steps away from Emperor Qin. He bowed to the ground and worshiped: "My son, my lord." I'm guilty, please forgive me."

In any case, Ying Ziyi's attitude of pleading guilty is still good.

But Brother Zheng didn't pay attention. He was still holding scrolls of bamboo slips, paying no attention to Ying Ziyi's intention.

Ying Ziyi raised his head and glanced at Brother Zheng. Ying Ziyi was not sure at all. What exactly was Brother Zheng thinking?

"What are you guilty of?"

After a long wait, Brother Zheng finally spoke. It was just that careless look that made Ying Ziyi feel a little uneasy.

"My son destroyed the Yin Yang family without my father's imperial decree."

"Judging from the evidence you submitted afterwards, the Yin Yang family indeed harbored evil intentions. Not only did you have no fault, you actually made merit."

Ying Ziyi was not sure whether what Brother Zheng said was true or ironic!

"The celestial phenomena warns, and the light deceives and guards the heart. This is God's punishment." Ying Ziyi tried again.

Then Brother Zhizheng let out a long laugh, and the laughter spread throughout the hall, making Ying Ziyi feel a little hairy.

Brother Zheng finished laughing and said, "Don't tell me, you will believe this kind of thing."

Huh! Ying Ziyi sighed in his heart.

Even a stupid person should have noticed at this moment that Brother Zheng, instead of being angry, actually looked very happy.

This Ying Ziyi is a little confused. What is Brother Zheng thinking?

"Get up! Don't you think it's a bit redundant to act in front of me?" Brother Zheng's voice came, and Ying Ziyi stood up.

Ying Ziyi never thought that Brother Zheng would look like this. In Ying Ziyi's guess, Brother Zheng might be dissatisfied, angry, or sarcastic... In this situation, the only thing Ying Ziyi did not expect was that Brother Zheng was actually very happy.

This routine is wrong!

"Let me ask you something. This time Chen Rong rebelled. You could obviously take this opportunity to eradicate Fusu's forces, but you didn't take action in the end. Why?" Brother Zheng asked.

I go! Brother Zheng, everyone is cheating on his father, is it really okay for you to cheat on your son like this?

"For the other princes and rivers and lakes forces of the other six countries, my eldest brother is a flag. With the call of this flag, they will not commit rebellion, which is not a bad thing for the empire!" Ying Ziyi honestly said said.

Brother Zheng said: "I am very pleased that you can think so. So, is this also the reason why you let go of Mr. Chu's Xiong Xin?"

Ying Ziyi was shocked. The fact that he pretended to be Xiong Xin was a top secret! How did Brother Zheng know?

No matter what, it's better for Ying Ziyi to explain the problem honestly. There is no benefit in deceiving the emperor at this time!

"The forces of Chu State need a leader, so that the forces of Great Qin that are always watching from the dark can come to the surface."

"Although I have unified the world, undercurrents are surging all over the world, and the forces of various countries are even more intertwined locally. If there are another twenty years, I am confident that the foundation of our Great Qin will be as stable as Mount Tai."

The heroic spirit bursts out and the ambition is intense. This is Ying Ziyi's most intuitive feeling.

But he remained silent.

"Although I hate others saying the word "die", my body knows that God will definitely not give me another twenty years. If God doesn't give me the time, there is nothing I can do!"

The emperor sighed sadly. Even a generation of emperors who are in the ninth level and rule the world must abide by the rules set by God.

Birth, old age, sickness and death!

"The change of the throne will inevitably cause turmoil in the imperial power, and the forces of other countries will not just stand by. For them, this may be the last chance. Therefore, I need a qualified successor. Can you do it? "

A gentle voice of inquiry came, without ardent expectations or moral kidnapping, just like a master in a private school asking his disciples about their homework.

"My son, I will protect Qin Wa forever." Ying Ziyi cupped his hands and said, extremely determined.

"That's enough. Go down!" Emperor Qin said with a smile.

"My son, please retire!"

Looking at the scorching sun outside, Yingzi stood on the stone platform in front of the door, his face gloomy, but he didn't say anything more and walked away silently.

Zhao Gao looked at Ying Ziyi's appearance, but he was secretly happy in his heart. As long as there is a rift between Emperor Qin and Prince Qin, he will not worry about finding opportunities to realize his ambitions.

Two days later, an edict from Emperor Qin was issued in Taihang Palace.

The Crown Prince has lost his virtue and deeply disappoints me. Now he is demoted to guard Yunzhong and defend Beihu to see the effect.

A simple line of words caused the prince of a country to be demoted to a cold borderland.

In the eyes of the ministers, although this decree was not a formal document but an imperial edict, it was almost the same as the deposed prince. The land in the clouds is vast and sparsely populated, and Beihu is often plundered. If a prince of a country goes to such a place, isn't the emperor's intention clear?

Suddenly, some people in the world were cheering and some were dejected.

Half a month later, Ying Ziyi drove to the border in a carriage, escorted by three thousand Ghost Prison Youqi.

via Taiyuan.

Ying Ziyi did not enter the city, nor did he plan to stay here. He saw a white-haired old man beside the ancient pavilion on the long road.

It is none other than the Great Qin Army God, Wang Jian.

When Wang Jian came here, he did not bring any extra troops, and he only followed a boy behind him.

The wind blows in the long pavilion, and there is only a jar of wine in it, with nothing left.

Ying Ziyi came down from the carriage, saw Wang Jian, and said with a smile: "Old General Wang, I heard that you are retiring in Taiyuan, and you have long forgotten the affairs of the court, and only know how to play with your grandson for fun. When I saw you today, I found that you were all doing this. It’s a lie, the old general is still as majestic as before!”

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so complimentary."

Wang Jian introduced Ying Ziyi into the pavilion, and the two of them knelt down. The boy poured a glass of wine for each of them, and after finishing serving, he left the pavilion.

"I left my three thousand guards behind and walked here alone. I thought my whereabouts were secret, but I didn't expect that Old General Wang would find my whereabouts." Ying Ziyi said with a smile.

Wang Jian chuckled, his smile was weird, but he stopped talking.

Why is Wang Jian here? That's because a secret report was received and Prince Qin's whereabouts was deduced from clues.

But how did this information leak out?

Prince Qin acted meticulously, so how could such a major secret be easily known to outsiders. There is only one explanation, and that is that Prince Qin did it on purpose.

In other words, Prince Qin deliberately led him here.

"Oh, let's not talk about it anymore." Ying Ziyi let out a long sigh and said, "As soon as I lost power, all the ministers looked at the road. When I was leaving, no one among the ministers came to say goodbye. The so-called lonely man. , nothing more than that. Old General Wang is still here to say goodbye to me because of our past friendship."

Ying Ziyi was pretending, but Wang Jian was drinking on the sidelines without talking to him. That roll of the eyes, as if I'm just watching you quietly pretending to be cool.

Ying Ziyi said secretly: Old fox.

Wang Jian naturally knew about the edict issued by Emperor Qin, but don't forget that at the back of that edict, there were four words about defending Beihu.

Although this is not a formal document, it still has administrative effect.

In other words, at the critical moment, even without the Tiger Talisman, with this edict, Ying Ziyi has the full right to control all soldiers and horses inside and outside the Great Wall. Of course, not everyone can make the rebellious generals guarding the border counties obey orders with just a specious edict.

And Ying Ziyi is one of the few people in the empire who has this ability.

In Wang Jian's opinion, Ying Ziyi was just pretending.

"His Royal Highness, you will not tell lies in front of the real person. I am here this time just to get His Highness's promise. In His Highness' opinion, does the Wang family still have the ability to continue to serve His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Military strategists discuss the situation." Ying Ziyi's attitude also became more upright, and he said: "The fertile fields in Guanzhong are thousands of miles away, and you can control Liuhe. Xiaohan on the left, Longshu on the right, the people of Bashu in the south, and the benefits of Huyuan in the north. The dangers of the four fortresses and the control of the princes from the east are the assets of an emperor. If something happens to the world, who should take precedence?"

Wang Jian smiled and said calmly: "The dangerous fortress in Sichuan can be settled with a trusted general. However, Taiyuan Shangdang Yanmen and other places are the flanks of Guanzhong. The key to success or failure must not be missed. We should support Taihang. To avoid danger, deploy heavy troops to guard key points at various points to prevent the princes from invading. In this way, only when the army marches eastward can we be safe."

Although their words were vague, the meaning was clear to both of them.

"Would the Wang family be willing to guard this gate for our Great Qin?"

"Lian Po is old, but his ambition is still there. How can the old Qin Dynasty be said to have no clothes?" Wang Jian said with emotion.

"What a magnificent statement!" Ying Ziyi laughed.

The two raised their glasses and drank.

….

Farmhouse, Lieshan Hall.

It had been a few days since the news came that the Prince of Qin had been demoted to Yunzhong. Tian Yan still couldn't believe that that person had just left Xianyang and the center of power of the empire. ? Emperor Qin continued his eastward tour, while Prince Fusu was preparing to pick him up. Once Prince Qin left, Prince Fusu's position became more stable. All those who supported Prince Fusu felt at ease and were waiting for the moment when he would succeed to the throne.

"Ayan, the Xiang family has sent good news. The prince of Chu, Xiong Xin, and the princess of Zhao are getting married. I invite my father to come. Do you want to come with me and relax." Tian Meng looked at his daughter these days. He said with a gloomy look.

Tian Yan wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he said, "Okay!"
