"Your Majesty, forgive me, that Shen Bing is so bold and disrespectful to His Majesty."

"I'll go now..."

Ying Zheng smiled and raised his hand to stop:

"Those who do not know are not guilty."

"Besides, that Shen Bing didn't disrespect me."

Ying Zheng paused and said:

"In addition, don't let the wind leak, especially don't let Shen Bing know the identity of the widow."

"Understand?"

Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe both bowed to each other and replied:

"My subordinate understands."

Although the two said so on their lips, they didn't quite understand it in their hearts.

It's understandable if Ying Zheng didn't want to reveal his identity.

As the King of Qin, Ying Zheng is a king who threatens the destruction of the six kingdoms, and there are many assassins who want to assassinate him.

That's why Ying Zheng is always mysterious no matter where he goes.

What kind of substitutes, suspicious formations, false information, etc. are used to the extreme.

An example is that Ying Zheng once saw Li Si's motorcade, and casually sighed that Li Si's motorcade was so luxurious.

As a result, a few days later, Li Si saw that the team lineup was reduced.

So Ying Zheng understood: his side was not strict and passed the news to Li Si.

This is actually nothing, because Li Si is Ying Zheng's most trusted prime minister, so this is not considered a whistleblower.

However, Ying Zheng, who is suspicious and brutal by nature, doesn't think so.

He didn't even interrogate, and immediately killed all the officials and servants who were present that day.

This time Yingzheng came here in disguise, and he was in the capital of Zhao State, so it was understandable that he didn't want to reveal his identity and cause trouble.

However, why do you have to specifically confess that you can't tell Shen Bing?

After thinking about it, Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe seemed to understand.

If you tell Shen Bing, I am afraid that Shen Bing will reveal the king's whereabouts if he finds out.

Well, it must be so!

What Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe didn't know was that Zhao Gao had already asked about this matter once.

When Ying Zheng and others came out from Shen Bing, Zhao Gao said dissatisfiedly:

"My lord, those soldiers are so disrespectful."

"Later, I will have them all tied up and punished!"

Ying Zheng snorted, and grimly squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "How dare you?"

These two words frightened Zhao Gao so much that his hairs stood on end, so he knew that the flattery had been patted on the horse's leg.

Then Ying Zheng ordered:

"Don't reveal my identity, understand?"

"Otherwise, how can the widow know what the soldiers really think?"

"The widow is very relieved today, knowing what the soldiers' hearts are..."

If Shen Bing heard this, he would have cried out on the spot:

"I'll go, it's still the polite words that made the difference."

"This Yingzheng wants to enjoy the pleasure of being praised again!"

Chapter 76 Jane in the Emperor's Heart

So the fun thing is not sure.

At its root, it is actually a self-reward and punishment mechanism formed by the brain.

I get something I can't get, so I secrete a little hormone to make myself feel satisfied, happy, and refreshed...

If you can't get it, you will be depressed, uncomfortable, and crazy.

This will stimulate people's desire, and at the same time make people pursue, strive and struggle continuously.

However, when the substance reaches a certain level, the fun will become less and less or even disappear.

At this time, Ying Zheng was almost at this level.

Qin State is the most powerful among the vassal states, and the unification of the Central Plains is just around the corner.

As the king of Qin, Ying Zheng can say that he can get whatever he wants.

It would make him feel dull instead.

It's like the game has a huge hook, and it's invincible as soon as it comes out... Then there's no point in playing the game.

Yingzheng had one goal before unifying the Central Plains, and that was to destroy the six kingdoms.

What about after destroying the Six Kingdoms?

He can only seek immortality, otherwise, what goals and pursuits can Ying Zheng have?

Modern historians commented on Yingzheng, saying that Qin Shihuang before and after the unification of the six kingdoms was like two people, that is, his temperament changed drastically.

In fact, it has not changed at all, except that the former has a goal and the latter loses it, or turns the goal to something illusory and impossible to achieve.

Shen Bing's polite words gave Ying Zheng almost the same feeling.

The words of praise from all civil and military officials in the court have become a form, and they can't cause any waves in Ying Zheng's heart.

However, Shen Bing's inadvertent cliché made Ying Zheng feel elated and refreshed.

Energize for governance and personally train the ministers!

Although this evaluation is not high, it is appropriate enough.

Think about the ten years since Yingzheng took office, which day have I not dealt with major national affairs and tried my best to govern the country well?

What is this if it’s not mobilizing energy for governance?

I, Yingzheng, listen to the performances of the ministers every day to check whether the ministers are in line with their official positions.

What is this if it's not a proficient group of officials?

Therefore, the words "invigorate governance and personally train the officials" really hit Yingzheng's heart.

Every time Ying Zheng thought of this comment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

So, how could it be possible for Yingzheng to let Zhao Gao, Yang Duanhe and others be punished for serious military crimes because of "disrespect"?

Just as Ying Zheng was savoring the evaluation again, Yang Duanhe hesitated and reported:

"My lord, about Shen Bing..."

"I still have something to report."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and replied, "Say."

Yang Duanhe glanced at Wang Jian next to him, and said cautiously:

"This battle..."

"Li Mu's death is actually related to Shen Bing."

It wasn't just Ying Zheng who was surprised, even Wang Jian stared at Yang Duanhe with wide-eyed eyes.

Yang Duanhe is suffering in his heart.

Before, I didn't dare to tell Wang Jian because I was worried that Wang Jian would snatch Shen Bing.

but now……

If there is still something to hide in front of the king, it will be the "crime of deceiving the emperor" who will be executed all over the house.

He, Yang Duanhe, didn't dare to do this even with a few heads.

Perhaps Li Mu's matter is not trivial, Ying Zheng immediately restrained his mind and asked solemnly:

"Oh, how can Shen Bing be related to Li Mu's death?"

Yang Duanhe added:

"actually……"

"It's not just about."

"Then Li Mu died at the hands of Shen Bing."

These words are even more shocking.

Ying Zheng even walked up to Yang Duanhe, with an expression of disbelief, and asked:

"You mean, Li Mu died at the hands of Shen Bing?"

Yang Duanhe replied:

"Exactly."

"I dare not speak half a lie."

So he described in detail how Shen Bing set up a divorce plan, how he tricked Wang Bai into writing the letter of surrender, and how he borrowed the hand of the northern goblin cavalry to deliver the token and the letter of surrender to King Zhao from beginning to end.

After finishing, Yang Duanhe explained again:

"Just because it matters."

"If others find out that Shen Bing set up this plan to alienate King Zhao."

"I'm afraid that the northern soldiers will not spare Shen Bing, and Zhao Guo will wake up because of this."

"That's why I didn't dare to speak up, and Shen Bing didn't get promoted because of this."

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Yang Duanhe's move can be said to be very clever.

In fact, his explanation was not only for Ying Zheng, but also for Wang Jian.

Moreover, Yang Duanhe also "ask the king to forgive his sins"... This means using Yingzheng to block Wang Jian's mouth.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng laughed "haha" after hearing this:

"That's the way it should be. There is nothing wrong with what General Yang did, so why is there any crime?"

Yang Duanhe was relieved when he heard this.

The king said he was innocent, so who would dare to punish him for this?

How could Wang Jian not know Yang Duanhe's intentions, and couldn't help but "hum" a little bit of displeasure.

But on second thought.

Now is the time for me to keep a low profile on my skills, and it's a good thing I don't know.

Otherwise, if he, Wang Jian, came up with this plan...

I'm afraid that the king's heart will tremble:

This guy with a heavy army in his hands can actually come up with such a brilliant plan to kill Li Mu, one day it won't be...

Thinking of this made me feel relieved.

Not only was he relieved, but he also breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt a little more admiration and gratitude for Shen Bing.

Not only do I admire him for coming up with such a rigorous divorce plan, but I also admire him for being able to see clearly and argue clearly to remind myself to pay attention to the "master of high merit".

Otherwise, one day he, Wang Jian, will die without knowing what happened.

Ying Zheng couldn't stop nodding his head in praise and said:
