Chapter 142: Emperor's Technique Cutting Power and Demotion
Ying Zheng stood in the viewing pavilion of Xianyang Palace, looking at the huge school grounds of Xianyang Palace and the busy figures of the palace maids and eunuchs, his eyes showing a strange light.
Over the past year, he has completely stabilized the ninth level of the immortal golden body of the divine body, but he still has little understanding of the realm of the divine soul, and has been unable to touch the threshold of the soul. He has tried several times to sense the existence of the soul, but has never been able to figure it out.
Helpless, he has actually been out of seclusion for a long time, but he has been traveling all over the Qin Dynasty, trying to break through the shackles of his state of mind. When encountering major events, he will rush back to Xianyang as soon as possible to deal with military and state affairs secretly.
With his current speed, he can circle the earth in one second, and there will naturally be no obstacles. During this time, Fusu has been praying honestly at the Ying family's ancestral temple and has not seen anyone. This makes
Ying Zheng clicked his tongue in surprise.
However, he did not spend too much energy. In the face of absolute strength, no matter whether Fusu is truly benevolent and filial, or falsely compassionate, as long as he maintains peak combat power, no one in Great Qin can shake him.
power position.
Thinking of Li Si, the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth curved slightly, looking enigmatic. Then he said lightly, "Who is closest to Xianyang?"
"Reporting to your majesty, General Han Xin of the Western Expedition has entered Longxi. I believe that the Western Expedition Army will be the first to arrive in Xianyang and win the title of the First Army." Li Changqing stood respectfully behind Ying Zheng with a smile on his face.
Meaning.
"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded, smiled and said nothing, turned around and looked at Li Changqing, and then suddenly said: "Changqing! Did you do everything you want on behalf of the Prime Minister?"
Seeing His Majesty's half-smiling expression and meaningful words, Li Changqing instantly understood the meaning, and immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I am really not a talented person. I walk on thin ice all day long, and I would like to ask your Majesty to find another wise man as soon as possible.
With your heart lifted every day, you can come with peace of mind."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng looked surprised, and then said with a smile, "Don't you want to be the prime minister? One person is inferior to ten thousand people, and he has the position of being a great minister, shining for all ages. I originally wanted to help you, but you
It puts me in such a difficult position." He shook his head and sighed with regret.
When Li Changqing heard this, he broke into a cold sweat behind his back, and his heart skipped a beat. He understood that he had too much power, and His Majesty was suspicious of him. This is understandable, as the emperor's art is selfless.
"I am scared. I have been wrongly loved by Your Majesty. However, I am self-aware and reluctantly become the prime minister. It will only bring shame to the Qin Dynasty. I will not be able to share your Majesty's worries. I am ashamed." Li Changqing said cautiously. At this moment, he was walking on thin ice.
"Okay! Since you said so yourself, Chang Qing, I won't embarrass you. However, I have been working hard for you recently. I will continue to serve as the temporary prime minister. After a while, I will let you relieve this heavy burden." Ying Zheng said on his face.
I was filled with regret, but my tone revealed that there was no doubt about it.
"I accept your majesty's respect, and I shall do my best to temporarily relieve your majesty's worries." Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"By the way, Chang Qing, what position does Deng Dequan, the most talented scholar in the world's literary society, hold this time?" Ying Zheng asked with a look of doubt on his face.
Li Changqing looked at Ying Zheng's confused look, and felt confused in his heart. Has Your Majesty forgotten? Your Majesty took the exams for the finals of the No. 1 Civil and Military Competition in the world, and Deng Dequan was also appointed by His Majesty to be the Censor Zhongcheng, and he was closely behind him.
under.
There was a faint bad feeling in his heart, but he did not dare to hesitate and think too much about the details. When Your Majesty asked, he could only answer truthfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Deng Dequan is in the Censorship Supervision Department and serves as the Censorship Zhongcheng. "
"Oh, I remembered it." Ying Zheng looked like he suddenly understood, then smiled and continued, "Changqing, what do you think of Deng Dequan's performance?"
"Your Majesty, the censor Zhongcheng has performed extremely well, especially when he eliminated the remnants of the Restoration of the Six Kingdoms. His performance is remarkable. He is a dragon among men. Your Majesty is wise and has a keen eye for pearls. I admire you greatly." Li Changqing did not say anything. Although his words are a bit exaggerated, Deng Dequan's performance is indeed remarkable. However, this Yushi Zhongcheng was appointed by His Majesty. Even if he wanted to find trouble, he would not dare to say it, otherwise it would not be a fight. His Majesty’s face?
"I'm so relieved, Changqing! You have been busy for me all these years, holding two important positions, you must be very tired." Ying Zheng said with some emotion, looking heartbroken.
"Your Majesty... no... I am indeed tired." Li Changqing subconsciously wanted to say that he was full of energy and had no problems at all, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly woke up and immediately changed his words.
"It's all because I don't understand my ministers. Chang Qing, don't blame me. As the king of the Qin Dynasty, everything I do is for the Qin Dynasty and for the sake of this world." Ying Zheng's eyes revealed a strange light and he suddenly said.
When Li Changqing heard this, he felt bitter in his heart. He knew that His Majesty had a double meaning behind his words. He understood that everything His Majesty did was to put the country first. He knew very well that the secret memorial to impeach him might be in His Majesty's study. They can all be piled into a hill.
Over the years, he has held the position of supervisor, patrolling the sky and supervising the world. He has almost offended all the civil and military officials in the dynasty. Of course, this is only a small part of the reason. With His Majesty's efforts to protect him, no one can shake his position. .
But it is precisely because of his selflessness and strict enforcement of the law that his majesty has been known to everyone, and he has been in the limelight for a while. As the saying goes, anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He is a high ranking official in the imperial court and holds the title of Supervision Bureau of the world. He also serves as the head of the Black Nightmare Army's intelligence department, which is a very dangerous signal for the king.
"I...respect...listen to your majesty...sage..." Li Changqing wanted to understand the key, and said with a sad expression for a moment. He no longer had the grace, high-spirited, and proud life of the past. He seemed to be very useless. It took a lot of effort to say these words.
"I cherish your body. From now on, Li Aiqing will retire behind the scenes, relinquish his post as imperial censor, and take charge of the Intelligence Department of the Black Nightmare Army with peace of mind, secretly collecting intelligence from all over the world for me." Ying Zheng said solemnly, sighing slightly in his heart. Li Changqing He is indeed a talented person, but he doesn't know how to serve others. He really doesn't understand...
"Your Majesty's grace is immense, and I can't thank you enough." Li Changqing immediately accepted the order to express his gratitude. Even though he was deprived of power and demoted, and even though he felt bitter in his heart, he still accepted the order to express his gratitude.
Seeing Li Changqing's devastated look, Ying Zheng shook his head, walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Changqing, you have to look further, don't be constrained by this small place." After he finished, he pointed to the sky, the meaning of which was intriguing.
Li Changqing was stunned at first, and then followed Ying Zheng's finger and looked at the sky. After a while, his face showed a look of shame and said, "I am ashamed. Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, but I can't catch up with you."
"Well, they are here. Come with me to the outside of the city to meet the powerful generals of Great Qin, Jingyong!" Ying Zheng smiled slightly. He had been paying attention to the movements within a hundred miles of Xianyang City. Calculating the marching speed, Han Xin had already arrived in Xianyang.
