Chapter 154

Ying Zheng was furious; what a remnant of the Chu State, daring to assassinate a prince of the nation.

Could it be that he had been too benevolent recently?

Because of his benevolence, the remnants have jumped out to make trouble again?

But he also knew that it should be the tax reform that touched their interests.

Therefore, they sent people to assassinate Ying Zi Ye; fortunately, it didn't succeed, otherwise, he would be angered to death.

"Ye'er, you want to dispatch soldiers to suppress the Chu State remnants; Father Emperor approves!"

"But this matter doesn't need you to go personally; let's change to someone else!"

"Besides, you don't know where those villains are."

Ying Zheng pondered for a while and gave his answer.

If you do something wrong, you must pay the price; daring to assassinate a prince of the nation, you must pay the corresponding price!

"Father Emperor, your son still wants to go personally; Father Emperor should also know about the assassination; your son is not that weak."

"And your son also knows the location of those villains' lair."

Ying Ying Zi Ye sipped his tea, striving to go personally to suppress them.

Ying Zheng, of course, knew this boy's strength; it was excessively powerful.

The thought of not letting him go personally was also shaken.

If he could make a name for himself in martial arts, being both civil and martial, that would also be a very good thing.

"Approved!"

"Then let General Zhang accompany you for a trip!"

Ying Zheng didn't expect that he even knew the location of the villains, and was willing to let Ying Ying Zi Ye lead troops to suppress them.

If this matter succeeded, it would be beneficial for the path he needed to take later.

"Father Emperor, there is really no need to trouble General Zhang; they are just petty villains; it is enough for Wang Li to accompany your son."

"As for General Zhang, it is better for him to stay by your side to protect you."

Ying Ying Zi Ye refused Zhang Han's accompaniment; why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?

For the small remnants of the Chu State, Wang Li going was already giving those remnants enough face.

"It seems there is some truth to that; using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken is a waste."

"Then follow your view; this matter is fully entrusted to you to be responsible for."

Ying Zheng finally agreed to this plan.

After all, as his designated successor, many things needed to be decided by Ying Ying Zi Ye himself.

"Thank you, Father Emperor, for your grace; then your son will prepare to set off for Kuaiji Commandery tomorrow."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was planning how many people to take with him.

"Kuaiji Commandery?"

Ying Zheng's eyes flickered; the Chu State remnants are in Kuaiji Commandery?

But he didn't ask much; perhaps it was found out by Ying Zi Ye's people.

"By the way, there is one thing I want to tell you; you decide for yourself what to do."

Ying Zheng suddenly spoke.

"Father Emperor, please speak."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was somewhat curious; what could it be?

"The Black Ice Terrace sent news that Chu State spies have recently had obscure dealings with people from the Doctor's residence, which might be related to your assassination."

"There is no solid evidence that it was done by people from the Doctor's residence."

"But recently, I heard that regarding tax collection, other families have completed it, but the Doctor and Censor-in-Chief Lin Zhichong have not."

"As for what you want to do, it is all up to you; you will be fully responsible for this matter."

"I will not interfere in this matter; I still have other things to be busy with."

Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded; Brother Zheng now had no mind to manage these things.

Chunyu Yue also has a part in this?

Thinking of Chunyu Yue's recent actions, it was indeed somewhat puzzling.

Originally, he thought it was for the sake of the Confucian school that he couldn't bear to kill, and therefore he was so soft-hearted toward those nobles.

But now it seems that things are not that simple.

Now, only Chunyu Yue and that Censor-in-Chief have not completed the task.

He had also heard of this matter, but he didn't pay attention to it for the time being.

Now hearing that the Chu State remnants and Chunyu Yue have had dealings recently.

This made Ying Ying Zi Ye's thoughts multiply.

Not contacting earlier or later, but precisely during the time he was assassinated.

No matter how you think about it, there is something fishy in it.

If it really has something to do with Chunyu Yue, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Even if it is Prince Fu Su's teacher, it is useless; those who should be killed must be killed!

At this moment, a eunuch brought up some stewed food.

Ying Ying Zi Ye saw it and knew what it was.

This was the prescription that went with the Taiji Life-Nourishing Technique.

He directly took the stewed food from the eunuch's hand and let the eunuch go down.

"Father Emperor, it's time to take your medicine..."

"Hmm, good, good, good."

Ying Zheng took the large bowl and drank it down.

"Ye'er, the things you offered are good; Father Emperor feels that my body is much better!"

"However, there are some things that I haven't figured out yet."

Ying Zheng finished the medicine and put the bowl aside.

"Oh, I wonder what it is?"

"What else could stump Father Emperor?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye took the bowl and put it on the table and chair to the side.

Ying Zheng frowned and shook his head.

This matter is not suitable for others to know for the time being.

After all, the strange images in his mind, even if he said them, others might not believe them.

And this matter is of great importance; the fewer people who know, the better.

If it spreads that he, Ying Zheng, only has thirty days of life left, the entire Great Qin will definitely be in chaos!

Now the most important thing is to find out who the person who resurrected him is.

But it cannot be investigated for the time being, leaving him with no way to start.

Previously, he had also let the Black Ice Terrace investigate in Shaqiu whether there were any suspicious people at that time.

But the news sent back by the Black Ice Terrace was that everything was normal, and no suspicious people were found.

He is now most curious about the person who resurrected him.

He doesn't know who it is, to be so mysterious. ===== CHAPTER 156 =====
