Daqin: Your Majesty, quickly abdicate, or your son will turn back

Chapter 100 If this matter is known to the world, His Majesty will bear the infamy!

Coming out of Yingyun's palace, Yingzheng changed from his previous sad expression to joy.

"Back to the palace!"

Ying Zheng ordered.

"promise!"

Zhao Gao nodded in agreement.

But seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, he began to doubt again.

"Your Majesty is happier coming out of Gong Ziyun than coming out of those empresses." '

······
Before entering the palace, from a distance, Ying Zheng saw a familiar figure walking up and down the gate of the palace, looking very anxious.

It was Prime Minister Li Si.

"Your Majesty, you have finished chatting with Gong Ziyun!"

Seeing Ying Zheng, Li Si was overjoyed, and quickly walked up to him.

"It just so happens that I have something to look for you."

Ying Zheng was also delighted to see Li Si.

"Is there something wrong? This minister is also waiting here for a lot of trouble, just to discuss the matter of salt with His Majesty. Even if you can't think of a perfect solution, at least you have to think of an emergency method first!"

When Li Si came up to meet him, he also felt that Ying Zheng was also looking for him to discuss the matter of salt.

After all, the impact of this matter is too far-reaching. If Li Si should let Li Si ignore it, Li Si, as the prime minister, would definitely not be able to do it.

That's why he has been waiting for Ying Zheng, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng and Ying Yun to stay for a long time. After waiting for a long time, Ying Zheng finally appeared.

"Don't worry about the matter of salt. I have a more important matter for you to deal with. You should leave immediately!"

Ying Zheng waved his hands, but he was not going to talk about salt with Li Si.

"What's your majesty's order?"

Hearing this, Li Si's expression couldn't help changing, and he looked at Ying Zheng with a puzzled expression.

After all, under the current circumstances, the matter of salt was imminent, but with Ying Zheng's appearance, it was clear that there were more urgent matters.

"Hurry up and get some salty seawater back, and put it in a big tank, the more the better!"

Ying Zheng opened his mouth to order, but his expression was very serious.

"seawater?"

Hearing this request, Li Si couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at Ying Zheng in puzzlement.

At this critical juncture, what are you doing with this sea water all of a sudden?
"Yes! Go to the beach and call back. If you don't have enough money, you can buy it! The more the better!"

Ying Zheng ordered, with a slightly anxious expression on his face.

"But Your Majesty, at this juncture, are you sure you want to focus on the sea water?"

Seeing Ying Zheng's expression, Li Si also guessed that the sea water was really urgent for Ying Zheng.

But he still didn't understand why the most urgent salt didn't try to find a solution, but deal with these irrelevant things.

"Just do as I tell you!"

Ying Zheng's voice was a little colder, and his eyes were also slightly colder.

"Yes!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, although Li Si was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, nodded in agreement, and then withdrew.

"Call Wang Jian and Meng Tian!"

After Li Si left, Ying Zheng spoke to Zhao Gao again.

"promise!"

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit unusual, Zhao Gao didn't ask any more questions, nodded in agreement and then withdrew.

"What's your majesty's order?"

"What's your majesty's order?"

Soon, Wang Jian and Meng Tian came to the palace, they both bowed their hands and replied.

"I have found a group of craftsmen, about 3000 of them. You have to find a way to bring them into the palace. You have to do it in secret, so that no one can notice the strangeness. Is it possible?"

Ying Zheng asked, and his eyes fell on the two of them.

"If those people are pretending to be soldiers, the veterans and General Meng Tian will lead them together. Although there are a lot of people, it will not arouse suspicion."

After thinking for a while, Wang Jian already had an idea in his mind, and he clapped his hands and replied.

"Meng Tian, ​​what do you think?"

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Meng Tian again.

"Return to Your Majesty, I think General Wang Jian's idea is feasible!"

Meng Tian arched his hands.

"That's it, this matter must be completed quickly, and those craftsmen will be brought and arranged secretly in one place, so that no one else will find out!"

Ying Zheng ordered.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the two retreated quickly.

······
In the next few days, a steady stream of sea water was transported into the palace, and some of them could not help but travel through mountains and rivers to return, and even spent money to buy them at the border.

But no one knows the purpose of this sea water.

After a long time, various rumors spread, and the whole palace was full of discussions.

In the palace, Ying Zheng was thinking about something while flipping through the memorial about sea water.

"Zhao Gao, regarding the matter of sea water entering the palace, what's the rumor going on outside?"

After a while, Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and his eyes fell on Zhao Gao.

"Return to Your Majesty, there are many rumors about this matter..."

To Ying Zheng's question, Zhao Gao didn't dare to lie, so he had to answer truthfully.

It's just that when he was talking, his head was buried deeply, and his expression was not good. At a glance, Ying Zheng could see that the rumors were not very good.

"What are the rumors? Tell the truth."

Ying Zheng asked.

"The first one is that His Majesty is refining some kind of powerful elixir, which requires a lot of seawater, so he didn't hesitate to spend money to buy seawater, and regarded this matter as an absolute big deal, so he didn't hesitate to spend such manpower and material resources .”

After a short pause, Zhao Gao still opened his mouth and replied.

After all, regarding Yingzheng's sudden need for so much seawater, he couldn't tell what Yingzheng was thinking, so he couldn't add fuel to it, so he had to state it truthfully.

"anything else?"

Hearing that reply, Ying Zheng's face was normal, but he didn't have any major reaction at all.

While picking up another bundle of bamboo slips, he asked again.

"The second is that His Majesty is refining a certain kind of weapon, which can be used to kill all directions on the battlefield. It is very useful, and the main raw material of that weapon is extracted from seawater, so His Majesty needs so much seawater."

Zhao Gao continued to reply.

"How many such sayings are there?"

Listening to those answers, Ying Zheng's expression didn't change at all, his eyes fell on the bamboo slips, and he asked again.

"There are about ten kinds in total."

Zhao Gao replied truthfully.

"Haha, I just discovered a kind of fish. The meat is very fat and the soup is so fresh that I can't forget to go back! But that fish can only live in sea water. In order to be able to eat that fish all the time, That’s how much sea water is needed.”

"It was originally a simple matter, but I didn't expect it to cause so many speculations. It's really interesting!"

Hearing that, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing. Zhao Gao, who was very good at observing words and expressions, could not see anything unusual about his appearance and tone.

"I see!"

Zhao Gao nodded, but didn't ask any other questions.

"So many rumors are always bad for Daqin. You think of a way to spread the truth so that everyone in Daqin knows it. Is it possible?"

After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng's expression turned serious, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty can do it, but is Your Majesty sure? If the world knows about this, Your Majesty will bear the infamy!"

Zhao Gao replied, but his expression was very serious.

He also knew about the salt matter, and now all the officials are struggling with this matter, but at this juncture, Ying Zheng only has fish in his heart.

That must be scolded.

"Go!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, staring at the bamboo slips with unusual determination.
