Ying Zheng's eyes were serious and he gave a command.
"Yes!"
Sensing Ying Zheng's unusual mood today, Zhao Gao did not dare to neglect him in the slightest, and agreed with a solemn expression.
Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, and said directly: "Remember my orders, go down!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Gao didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly withdrew.
As soon as Zhao Gao left, the eunuch came up to meet him, "Your Majesty, Li Si begs to see you!"
Ying Zheng didn't react too much, he just said lightly, "Let him in!"
After the words fell, Li Si quickly walked into the palace, "My minister, I have seen Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Li Si, "Well done, the widow is looking for you!"
Li Si was taken aback for a moment, then directly cupped his hands, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"
Ying Zheng's face was indifferent, "The sea area on the northern border, I need the sea water there, you go and buy it, the more the better!"
Li Si was stunned, and looked at Ying Zheng with a puzzled expression, "Sea water?!"
Ying Zheng nodded, "That's right!"
Realizing that Ying Zheng wasn't joking, Li Si's face immediately became solemn, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the use of asking my minister to find this sea water at this juncture?"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, "It's nothing special, but when I went to Lan'er's place, I found a fish that was particularly beautiful, and that fish can only be fed by the sea water in that sea area!"
"The widow really likes it so much, that's why I asked you to get this sea water and come back to raise fish!"
Li Si reacted, and his face sank, "Your Majesty asked this minister to bring back the sea water just to raise fish?"
Ying Zheng nodded, "Not bad."
Li Si cupped his hands, his face extremely dignified, "Your Majesty! Do you know what's going on in Daqin now?! Because of the salt problem, Daqin has already started to have a small-scale chaos, and many places have started to snap up the remaining salt!"
"And many people have started to panic because they can't pickle food."
"At this juncture, you actually let the humble minister go to the border in order to get sea water back to raise fish?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were serious, "Of course no one knows about Daqin's situation, but it's useless to be anxious. It's better to live the present and get the sea water back first!"
Li Si scolded angrily, "Even if it's useless to be anxious, you can't be idle. You should be anxious, and you have to think about what you need to do! You can't just sit and wait like this!"
"Otherwise Daqin has such a foundation, I'm afraid it will also fall!"
Seeing Li Si's stubbornness, Ying Zheng's eyes gradually turned cold, "When will it be your turn to question the widow's decision!"
When Zulong got angry, the aura around him was extraordinary, the pressure of the emperor was like a vast ocean, which only made Li Si's heart tense.
But despite the cold sweat on his forehead, Li Si still bravely surrendered, "But...Your Majesty, think twice!"
Facing Li Si's admonition, Ying Zheng didn't want to explain too much, and said coldly: "Back off!"
The sound burst out like thunder accompanied by the imperial aura, not only resounding through the court, but also shook Li Si's heart.
"Yes!"
Although there were still thousands of words in his heart, but feeling Ying Zheng's anger, Li Si didn't dare to say any more, so he had to agree.
But in his heart, Li Si also secretly decided that Ying Zheng must not be allowed to do anything like this.
Chapter 119 Right and Wrong
After the order was issued, Li Si didn't dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to the border to buy seawater and come back.
It's just that as soon as this matter was made public, it immediately caused an uproar in the world.
No one could help but wonder why Ying Zheng, who has always been so shrewd, has begun to faint now, and is addicted to the enjoyment of fish.
Frontier, Maurya Dynasty.
"You said that the Great Qin Emperor wanted to spend money to buy seawater?"
On the dragon chair, the majestic middle-aged man spoke lightly, and the majestic aura spread out, like a vast ocean sweeping in all directions.
This person is the king of the Maurya Dynasty.
And below, the Peacock National Master knelt on the ground, "Return to the king, it is true!"
King Peacock's eyes narrowed slightly, "The Great Qin Emperor has always been shrewd, why would he suddenly spend money on such a useless thing?"
Peacock Guoshi still lowered his head, "Go back to the king, I heard it is for raising fish."
The Peacock King's gaze changed slightly, "Fish?"
There are doubts in the words.
After thinking for a while, the Peacock King said, "Do you think this is credible?"
Down below, Master Peacock frowned as if he was thinking, "Back to the king, the old minister thinks this matter is not credible, and there must be something unusual in it."
Regarding this guess, the Peacock Imperial Master nodded slightly in agreement, "The veteran also thinks there may be something strange in it."
The Peacock King's eyes became serious, "Go ahead and investigate this matter thoroughly, and we must carefully see if there is anything tricky in it!"
……
Xianyang.
Although he followed Ying Zheng's instructions to solve the problem of sea water, Li Si still felt uneasy, so he went directly to Wang Jian's mansion.
"Have you heard about His Majesty's purchase of sea water recently?"
Sitting across from Wang Jian, Li Si didn't write any ink, and spoke directly.
Wang Jian nodded slightly, but his gaze was dignified, "The old man is also puzzled. His Majesty should have never been interested in things like fish. Why is he so crazy all of a sudden."
Li Si frowned, "Now the whole country is worrying about salt, but His Majesty is focusing on fish and sea water. This really makes people worry about the future of Great Qin!"
Hearing this, Wang Jian also frowned, "How is the salt matter handled?"
Li Si's face was extremely ugly, "The Maurya Dynasty doesn't put salt, and we don't have any good solutions here."
"Although I have also considered buying salt from neighboring countries, the price is ridiculously expensive, and there are very few countries that dare to sell salt to us."
"This is simply a drop in the bucket. There is no way to ease Daqin's current situation!"
Wang Jian was also momentarily at a loss for words, "This..."
As a general, it's okay if you let him lead the army to fight.
But to ask him to find a way to solve the salt problem, Wang Jian really didn't have a good idea for a while.
After a moment of silence, Wang Jian said, "Since this is the case, what can the prime minister do now?"
Li Si's face turned serious, "From my point of view, the most important thing at this moment is to make His Majesty wake up, and stop being addicted to the sea water and fish!"
"In this way, His Majesty will be free to think about the solution of this salt. Otherwise, the problem will only become more and more serious, and eventually even reach the point of irreversibility."
Hearing this, Wang Jian frowned even more.
Although he is a general, he also knows how important this salt is and how great its influence on Daqin is.
And if, as Li Si said, Ying Zheng ignored the matter and allowed it to develop, the severity of the consequences would be unimaginable.
After contemplating for a while, Wang Jian raised his head, but his eyes became firm, "It is true that His Majesty can't let it go like this. The old man will play with you tomorrow, and I must let His Majesty wake up!"
Li Si nodded again and again, with an unstoppable joy on his face, "It's so good!"
"It's so good!"
With Wang Jian standing on the same front as him, Liston suddenly felt more confident.
……
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng stood in the middle of the room, and several court ladies around him were carefully arranging the dragon robe for him.
Zhao Gaohou was at the side, but his expression was a little strange, because he was also aware of Ying Zheng's current situation.
Because of the sea water incident, Ying Zheng can now be said to be criticized by thousands of people.
I don't know how many people in Daqin blamed Yingzheng for this matter.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Gao couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, is today's morning court held as usual?"
Ying Zheng looked indifferent, "Is there any reason why it can't be as usual?"
Zhao Gao's face changed slightly, but he didn't say clearly, "This... I see that His Majesty is very tired these days, so I think it's right to take a rest."
Ying Zheng was also clear about Zhao Gao's thoughts, so he said lightly, "Are you worried that the early court widows will be blamed?"
Zhao Gao smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty is the Great Qin Emperor, extremely honorable, who dares to criticize?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile too.
Zhao Gao is so comfortable no matter when he speaks.
After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng spoke again, "Zhao Gao, do you think the widow is doing the right thing?"
Zhao Gao's eyes were flat, "What's so important about right and wrong?"
Ying Zheng's gaze changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Gao curiously, "Then what do you think is important."
Zhao Gao's eyes remained flat, "The important thing is that His Majesty wants to do this."
Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't say much.
Then Zhao Gao continued to speak, but his eyes were extremely firm, "As long as it is what His Majesty wants to do, the humble minister will support it behind the scenes, it has nothing to do with right or wrong."
Even Ying Zheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Then he smiled faintly, "Hehe, you are always so pleasant when you speak."
Zhao Gao nodded slightly, "This is a rare honest word from a humble official."
Hearing this, Yingzheng's gaze also became firmer, "As a subject, you have such awareness, can I embarrass you as an emperor?"
"What is there to be afraid of? Pass the order! Start the morning court!"
Yingzheng's voice was loud, and his regal aura was even more extraordinary.
"Yes!" Seeing this, Zhao Gao didn't say any more, just agreed with his hands.
After the words fell, Ying Zheng strode towards Zhangtai Palace.
Looking at Ying Zheng's stalwart back, Zhao Gao only felt that he saw an indomitable mountain.
Even if the wind and waves were raging ahead and the sandstorms were raging, there was nothing that could stop the mountain from moving forward.
Chapter 120 Do You Want To Fight?
In the palace, all the officials stood quietly, all of them looked extremely dignified.
Not for anything else, just because the influence of this salt is really huge, and there is no official today who is not worried about this matter.
And as Ying Zheng in a dragon robe walked into the hall, all the hustle and bustle seemed to be cut off, and even his breathing became tense.
Taking a look at all the officials, he saw that Ying Lan had rarely come to court today, so Ying Zheng couldn't help being taken aback.
This brat, it's really rare to see him appearing in the morning court so punctually!
As Ying Zheng above took his seat, an eunuch shouted loudly: "The morning court begins!"
After the words fell, all the officials cupped their hands together, "I have seen Your Majesty!"
"My son has seen his father!"
"Wei Chen has seen His Majesty!"
······
On the dragon chair, Ying Zheng's eyes fell down flatly, "Ping body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Father!"
