Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 572
Chapter 594
Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.

After handling a series of government affairs, Yingzheng only felt a little tired. As an emperor who had ruled the empire for 36 years, he could basically handle any affairs with ease in his eyes.

But time is not forgiving, and this great emperor finally lost to time.

Although Ying Gang used the elixir to make him young and restore his body functions to the level of a young man, his soul is still the Ying Zheng who is already in his early fifties.

A feeling of tiredness welled up in his heart, and Ying Zheng, who had always been extremely demanding of himself, dozed off for an unprecedented time.

Zheng Lun, who was serving at the side, was also surprised when he saw this.

But as a confidant serving Yingzheng, he knew very well what his duty was at this time.

He tiptoed down the high platform and came outside the hall.Let the eunuchs under him close all the doors of the palace, lest the cold wind at night hurt Yingzheng.

After arranging everything, he was still a little worried, so he simply stood here and guarded carefully, so as not to disturb His Majesty by those who don't have long eyes.

Ying Zheng was indeed too tired.

This was Zheng Lun's first impression.

Although I have served the emperor for not too long, but I have been in the palace for more than 20 years.

In 20 years, I have also changed from a young man to the current half-old man.

He is a smart man, unlike many eunuchs who were castrated when they were young, he castrated himself and entered the Qin Palace only after he had children, in order to survive.

Therefore, psychologically, he does not have much burden.

In addition, his personality is relatively easy-going, and he quickly gained a foothold after succeeding Zhao Gao, becoming the actual leader of the inner court.

"Master, we are guarding here, you should go and rest for a while!" An eunuch approached and persuaded in a low voice.

Zheng Lun looked at the main hall behind him and shook his head: "Your Majesty, take a nap. Once you wake up and can't find me, you will be furious. Wait a little longer!"

Seeing this, the little eunuch didn't want to persuade him much, so he could only stand aside with his hands down to accompany Zheng Lun.

"By the way, ask the imperial chef to prepare a bowl of sweet potato soup for His Majesty. Your Majesty has become obsessed with this during this time. I don't eat much today. When I wake up, I can refresh myself with sweet potato soup."

The little eunuch didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly trotted to make arrangements.

Looking at the back of the little eunuch leaving, Zheng Lun shook his head with a smile.

It's good to be young, and it may not be easy for me to run so vigorously now.

For a while, Zheng Lun was immersed in recalling the past.At this moment, a red figure appeared under the steps.

Glancing around, Zheng Lun was startled, and quickly stepped forward to stop him without thinking too much.

Even though he knew that the person he blocked had a bad temper.

But he had no choice.

It was Ying Gang who came.

After leaving the Imperial Academy, Ying just hurried into the palace without taking a break.

The black ice platform has always been in charge of Ying Zheng himself, and even Ying Gang has no right to transfer it.

With Dunwei and Yao Jia all promoted, there is now a vacuum in the controller of the Black Ice Platform.Many people coveted this position, and even some important officials in the court asked for their orders, but Ying Zheng remained unmoved.

Ying just wanted to investigate the files of the Black Ice Terrace. According to the past, Ying Zheng didn't need to speak up, but now that the Black Ice Terrace is out of control, he can only come here at night in order to buy time.

"Your Highness, please stay."

Ying Gang's gaze shifted slightly and landed on Zheng Lun.

"Order of the Zheng government?"

Zheng Lun looked back at the main hall, bent over and folded his chest, looked at Ying Gang in front of him and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is taking a nap, you'd better not go in and disturb him."

"Nap? What time is it? Why did you fall asleep? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zheng Lun shook his head: "Your Majesty is in excellent health, but he is really tired from the busy state affairs these days."

He deliberately emphasized the word "busy with national affairs".

Different from other fathers and sons.

In the past, the emperor and the prince were all assigned tasks by the emperor, and the prince completed the task.

But Ying Zheng pampered Ying Gang too much, and ended up turning it upside down.

Ying Gang kept proposing various reform measures, but the real implementer was the poor Ying Zheng.

The construction of the city in the northern border, the peace of the people in various places, the conquest of the western regions, the control of foreign races, the deployment of the army, all these miscellaneous things piled up together, which made the emperor a little overwhelmed.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Ying Gang's face, but soon he calmed down again, looked at Zheng Lun in front of him and said, "Where is the imperial chef, take me there."

Zheng Lun looked at the main hall, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, I don't know when your Majesty will wake up. If he sees that I am not there, he will probably lose his temper again."

Ying Gang said calmly: "Everything is up to me, let's lead the way."

Zheng Lun had no choice but to take Ying Gang towards the direction of Yu Chu.

There are many imperial kitchens in Xianyang Palace.

In addition to the imperial dining room that can provide food and drink for the whole palace, each palace also has its own boy's room. Zheng Lun took Yinggang to the boy's room where Ying Zheng lived in Zhangtai Palace.

In the kitchen, several imperial chefs were busy there.

On the stove, blue flames are flickering.

Since coal mining began to be used, almost all the firewood in the imperial kitchen has been abandoned and replaced by coal.

"Yeah, Your Highness."

Seeing that Ying had just arrived, the imperial chef who was still busy was ready to bow down and kowtow.

Ying Gang lifted up the imperial cooks in front of him and said calmly: "You are all busy."

Several royal chefs hid aside in fright. The leader of the chef had served Ying Zheng all year round. Seeing Ying Gang gave him more confidence.

"Your Highness, this place is narrow and dirty, you should not come in."

Ying Gang said calmly: "Didn't you hear the Zheng Fuling say it? In the past, I was able to attract His Majesty the Emperor with my excellent cooking skills."

What Ying Gang said seemed to be very ordinary, but Zheng Lun next to him felt like he was facing an enemy.

How could he not know about Ying Gang and Ying Zheng's past.

After all, there is really no impenetrable wall in this world, once news appears, it will spread quickly.

But because Zhao Gao was involved in this matter, it completely became a matter that no one dared to say more in the inner court.

Now that Ying just mentioned this matter again in front of these royal chefs, they didn't know how to answer the question for a while.

Ying Gang looked at the stove in front of him and rolled up his cuffs.

"Your Highness?"

Zheng Lun was a little surprised looking at Ying Gang in front of him.

"Order Zheng Fu, prepare eggs and rice for me."

"Your Highness, leave these rough jobs to us!" The middle-aged man who was the head of the royal chef looked at Ying Gang's face and persuaded him sincerely.

Ying Gang said lightly: "I think back when I went to conquer the Huns with Duke Jiuyuan, many soldiers ate the food I cooked. Now that I haven't done it for a long time, I'm afraid my hands are born. I just have time today." , lend me this treasure land of yours."

As soon as he was talking, Ying had already started to get started, and these other people couldn't persuade him, so they could only help him.
