Chapter 154

Ying Zheng said calmly.

Subsequently, a eunuch came in with a cushion, tea, and a table, and placed them one by one in front of Ying Ying Ziyu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Ying Ziyu did not stand on ceremony either, and sat cross-legged directly.

He could not stand kneeling on the ground.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng did not say much else, but instead felt that Ying Ying Ziyu’s action was not constrained by rules.

This was typical: if you look pleasing to the eye, everything you do is pleasing.

If you don't look pleasing to the eye, everything you do is not pleasing.

"Ying Ziyu, your marriage to Princess Princess Changle of Great Tang is approaching."

"Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?"

Ying Zheng asked.

He came mainly to ask about this matter today.

He just wanted to see what thoughts Ying Ying Ziyu had in his heart.

"Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth, or a lie?"

Ying Ying Ziyu said with a smile, and took a sip of tea.

It was sweet at the entrance, very good!

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng laughed.

This was a sincere laugh.

It had been a long time since he had felt anything interesting about a matter.

Fortunately, the eunuchs and maids in the Imperial Study had long been cleared out, otherwise, seeing Ying Zheng laughing like this, they would certainly have been stunned, frozen on the spot.

They had never seen His Majesty laugh so happily before.

"Do you want to answer me with the truth, or a lie?"

Interest also rose in Ying Zheng’s heart; he did not answer, but instead asked Ying Ying Ziyu back.

"Naturally, the truth!"

Ying Ying Ziyu said directly.

It was enough to say something interesting once.

It was still better to focus on business.

"Your subject has no thoughts, and even less suggestions!"

Ying Ying Ziyu answered straightforwardly.

This answer was somewhat beyond Ying Zheng’s expectations; he had thought of many answers from Ying Ying Ziyu in his mind, but he had not thought of this one.

In Ying Zheng’s view, marriage was a major event, so there should be some ideas of his own.

How could he have no thoughts at all.

Ying Ying Ziyu once again made Ying Zheng feel somewhat unexpected.

"Why?"

Ying Zheng asked.

After Ying Zheng finished asking, he stared tightly at Ying Ying Ziyu.

He understood this Ninth Prince of Great Qin, who had always hidden his strength, less and less.

Ever since Ying Ying Ziyu was exposed by the Golden List.

Every time Ying Zheng talked to Ying Ying Ziyu, he could feel that this son, who had always been ignored, was actually so unfathomable.

Every time he asked some questions, Ying Ying Ziyu’s answers were always beyond Ying Zheng’s expectations.

This time was even more so.

The more Ying Ying Ziyu made Ying Zheng unable to figure out his routine.

The more interested Ying Zheng became.

"Your subject has never even met this Princess Princess Changle of Great Tang."

"Where would thoughts and suggestions come from?"

Ying Ying Ziyu said calmly.

He said this just to answer Ying Zheng’s question.

As for Princess Princess Changle’s appearance, Ying Ying Ziyu had long sent Night Watchmen to draw her image.

Um...

Very beautiful, not a bit worse than any of Ying Ying Ziyu’s confidantes.

After listening, Ying Zheng also felt it made sense.

It was not just Ying Ying Ziyu; the entire Nine Provinces were like this.

Before men and women entered the bridal chamber, both sides had almost never met.

Only when the head covering was lifted could they know what the other looked like.

"Are you satisfied with my arrangement?"

Ying Zheng did not continue to press the previous question, but instead asked another one.

He had always been like this, not dwelling on a question that was not too important to the Great Qin Empire.

Although he had already regarded Ying Ying Ziyu as the heir to the Great Qin Empire in his heart.

However, before it was truly announced, everything could change.

Even a major marriage event was not too important in Ying Zheng’s view.

"No objections!"

Ying Ying Ziyu’s expression remained as usual.

Ying Zheng nodded and did not continue to ask other questions.

"Ying Ziyu, what do you think of the Net?"

Ying Zheng asked.

This time, his expression became exceptionally serious.

He looked at Ying Ying Ziyu with sharp eyes.

The Net was a sharp weapon for Great Qin to monitor the Nine Provinces.

However, with the appearance of the Golden List, Ying Zheng felt that the Net’s power was somewhat weak.

And recently, Zhao Gao had also made Ying Zheng very dissatisfied.

There was another reason: the Net was an important organization for Great Qin to collect intelligence.

The leader must be strong enough.

Zhao Gao’s strength was clearly not enough.

Ying Ying Ziyu did not answer immediately; he thought about why Ying Zheng would ask him this question.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng did not urge him, but waited for the answer.

He still had some expectations in his heart.

Whether from strength or origin, Ying Ying Ziyu was the most suitable candidate to become the leader of the Net.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ying Ying Ziyu said slowly: "The Net is very good."

"It is just that, compared to the Bad People of Great Tang and the Imperial City Division of Northern Song, its strength is somewhat weak."

What Ying Ying Ziyu said were all facts.

Master Yuan Master Yuan Tiangang of the Bad People was a Land Immortal, Huang Shang of the Northern Song Imperial City Division was a Land Immortal, and Zhuge Zhengwo and Zhu Zhu Wushi of Great Ming were both Land Immortals.

Zhao Gao was only a Grandmaster.

Even if he had reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, he was only half a step away from a Land Immortal.

But it was this half step that made the overall strength differ by who knows how much.

"Do you have any other thoughts?"

Ying Zheng continued to ask.

What Ying Ying Ziyu said coincided with his own thoughts.

This made Ying Zheng very satisfied.
