Chapter 341

However, in order to wait for the subordinates behind, he could only move forward slowly.

But during the process of moving forward, he also kept observing the situation on the mountain.

………

In the Imperial Palace of Xianyang City.

Ying Zheng naturally had also heard the rumors that had been spreading in Xianyang City during this period.

However, he had no intention at all of wanting to suppress these rumors.

"Your Majesty, these rumors seem to have someone specifically hidden in the shadows, just to be able to expand the influence."

Eunuch Zhuo lowered his head and said in a low voice beside Ying Zheng.

As a eunuch following beside Ying Zheng, he naturally also had some keen political sense.

He could perceive that this matter did not seem simple.

Behind the Confucianism, clearly, they had already offended a faction.

"Since that group of people wants to do this, why not add fuel to the fire for them?"

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth.

Afterward, he was writing something on his hand.

After finishing, he handed the memorial to the little eunuch.

"Spread this matter for me."

Eunuch Zhuo carefully flipped through the memorial in his palm.

His heart immediately trembled a few times.

What was written on it was very simple, just a poem.

But this poem happened to be written by a scholar among the Confucian disciples who was quite talented.

Your Majesty had never moved against this person before.

Because the poems this person wrote were sometimes more easily sought after by some people outside.

For the sake of his own reputation, and to be able to not give rise to any trouble in such an eventful autumn,

Your Majesty could only suppress his anger.

Eunuch Zhuo knew all of this.

He did not expect that this poem would actually let Your Majesty find an opportunity to aim his big blade at this person.

These Confucian scholars were simply not afraid of death; they were only afraid that after they died, they could not leave their names in the historical records.

Or even leave behind a bad reputation.

Although Your Majesty did not want this scholar's life this time, it was clearly killing the person and punishing their heart.

"This servant understands."

Afterward, the next day.

Another wave of rumors spread in Xianyang City.

"Have you heard about Zhu Yao, Master Zhu?"

"I've heard, although this person is quite talented, clearly he is not favored by Your Majesty."

"More than just not favored by Your Majesty, the poem this person wrote was directly criticized by Your Majesty."

After this person finished speaking, he immediately revealed a look of mockery.

These people simply could not understand what was written in Zhu Yao's poem.

But they could understand that the poem Zhu Yao wrote simply did not please Your Majesty.

And Zhu Yao clearly also received the news.

"I want to see Your Majesty."

"I will use my death to prove my innocence."

Zhu Yao walked toward the outside with a determined look.

Not caring at all about the friends who were blocking him on the side.

"Yes."

"We will accompany you together."

"Is it possible that one cannot speak freely in this world?"

"We want to be witnesses of this history, not sycophants."

Zhu Yao's two or three friends on the side were also moved by Zhu Yao's heart to die.

As scholars, they naturally hoped their reputations could be passed down through the ages.

If they really went to see the First Emperor today.

And then to prove their innocence, died in front of the Emperor.

Perhaps the official historian could really record their names in the historical records.

Zhu Yao looked at these friends of his and immediately understood what was in their hearts.

"... hen I shall go with you all."

After speaking, the few people rushed toward the Imperial Palace.

The status of scholars was quite high.

But these few scholars were clearly disliked by Your Majesty.

They were directly blocked at the Imperial Palace entrance.

"I want to go in, I want to see Your Majesty."

"What is wrong with the poem I wrote, is it possible that the world is not like this?"

Zhu Yao stared at the guards with an angry look and said loudly.

And the guards on the side did not change their expressions at all.

"Without Your Majesty's decree, you are not allowed to enter the palace."

"Since that is the case, then I will die in front of the palace."

A flash of determination crossed Zhu Yao's eyes.

At the same time, he smashed toward the city wall.

The guards on the side, with quick eyes and fast hands, grabbed Zhu Yao and stopped him.

The incident that happened at the city gate immediately reached Ying Zheng's ears.

"Your Majesty, these Confucian scholars are making a scene, insisting on seeing Your Majesty."

Eunuch Zhuo's brows furrowed.

He did not expect these Confucian scholars to be so unappreciative.

Clearly knowing that Your Majesty did not want to see them, they were still making a scene at the entrance.

Why hadn't he felt that these Confucian scholars were so troublesome before?

"If they want to make a scene, then let them."

"You go over there personally."

"Just say, what is wrong with my comments?"

Ying Zheng's expression was indifferent, and he did not even pause his hand movements.

Toward these Confucian scholars, he had long been accustomed to it.

These Confucian scholars just thought they could refute him, so that the official historian would record them in the historical records.

But this also depended on whether he was willing or not.

They wanted to leave their upright reputation in this history.

They wanted to leave their eternal good name in this history.

That also depended on whether he was willing to give these people this opportunity.

"Hurry, hurry, I heard that Zhu Yao is making a huge scene at the Imperial Palace entrance."

"I didn't expect these people to still dare to go to the Imperial Palace entrance to make trouble."

"Hurry over, lest we be slow and miss the excitement."

The news at the Imperial Palace entrance not only reached Ying Zheng's ears, but also reached the ears of some commoners in Xianyang City.
