Chapter 138 Above the court meeting, Ying Gao strikes!
Yinggao had no intention of letting this matter go from the very beginning. The reason why he handed over the assassin was to pursue the case.
Otherwise, he would have directly ordered the assassin to be killed instead of sending the assassin to the Xianyang Ling's residence, hoping to use Qin Fa to give him an explanation.
Mainly because Ying Gao felt that this matter was unusual and might involve the position of the crown prince, he did this. The purpose was to make Ying Zheng notice this and obtain more benefits.
In the mansion, Ying Gao looked at the dark night, and thoughts kept flashing through his mind. He knew in his heart that the assassination matter was already on the desk of Ying Zheng in Xianyang Palace, and at this moment, Tingwei Palace was probably involved.
In fact, in Xianyang Palace, the emperor and his ministers had already discussed this matter and were just waiting to inform him of the answer.
However, Ying Gao would not just give up.
This was an opportunity, an opportunity that he had been waiting for for a long time but suddenly appeared.
Ying Gao will naturally not miss it.
...........
"Wang Hu, Zhao Gao came here just now, why?"
After being silent for a long time, Yinggao said to Wang Hu who was standing aside.
"Young Master, I have ordered my subordinates to tell you from the Zhongche Mansion that you should not act rashly about this matter. Your Majesty will give you an explanation."
Hearing this, Ying Gao chuckled: "I can't miss such a good start. This time, if I don't make these people pay the price, how can I let it go?"
Ying Gao scoffed at Ying Zheng's warning.
Since he wants to kill him, he will never stop until a layer of his skin is torn off.
"But Young Master, the King has given you a clear warning. If this continues, it will be detrimental to Young Master..."
At this time, Wang Hu is no longer what he used to be. He is extremely keen on political matters and can discern things that are unfavorable to Ying Gao almost instantly.
"fine!"
A look of solemnity flashed across Ying Gao's eyes, and there was a hint of weirdness hidden deep in his eyes: "Father will also support me. After all, this assassination took place in Xianyang, in the Great Qin Royal City, which is known as the most powerful city in the entire Central Plains.
safe place."
"My son's safety is threatened, which also means that my father's safety is threatened..."
Ying Gao only said one thing, but did not tell the deeper reason. After all, when the prince was involved, things became completely different. Not telling Wang Hu was another way of protecting him.
At this moment, an idea took shape in Ying Gao's mind.
.........
Since the assassination, Ying Gao has stayed behind closed doors.
It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him, and even no one from Tingwei Mansion was seen.
Three days passed by in a flash, and it was time for Da Qin to hold a court meeting.
Early in the morning, at Mao hour.
By this time, Ying Gao had already driven to the outside of Xianyang Palace. Today's Umrah meeting was well prepared and started on time.
"The king has an edict, the court meeting has begun, and all the civil and military officials have entered the palace and taken their seats——!" Zhao Gao's voice rang out, and the civil and military officials led by him hurriedly walked into Xianyang Palace.
Since it is a small court meeting, rather than a major court meeting once a month, there are basically only three ministers and nine ministers, who really belong to the senior officials of Da Qin or to Ying Zheng's confidants.
"I have seen my king!"
.........
"sit!"
When the ministers sat down, Ying Zheng's sharp gaze passed over everyone's face. After a while, he slapped the table and said bluntly: "Everyone, we will only discuss two things at the meeting today."
"The first is the assassination of Prince Gao in Xianyang, and the second is how to re-enter the Jingshui River canal and eradicate the threat of severe drought in Guanzhong? All major government offices, just say whatever comes to mind, just speak freely!"
Ying Zheng's words confirmed the suspicions of the ministers. Today's court meeting was originally about one thing, but Ying Gao was assassinated, which abruptly changed the taste of today's court meeting.
At this moment, the entire hall was filled with solemn silence. The ministers looked at each other in confusion, and no one spoke for a while.
No matter what it is, it is of great importance.
The Jing diversion project is related to the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, and there is a severe drought in Guanzhong. The third son, Ying Gao, is the most outstanding young master of the Qin Dynasty at the moment. According to the long-standing tradition of the Qin Dynasty, there is a high probability that Ying Gao will become the prince of the Qin Dynasty and the next king of Qin.
At this time, both things are particularly difficult.
After a while, Meng Tian had to come out and face Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, according to the interrogation between the minister and the Tingwei Mansion, we only got the information from the rangers and dead soldiers at this moment, but we have never asked who sent it.
"
"I am the order of Xianyang and the general of Xianyang. If something like this happens, I should bear the first responsibility. Please punish me according to law!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Tian, then turned to Old Ting Wei and said, "Ting Wei, what do you have to say?"
Lao Tingwei naturally got Ying Zheng's signal and planned to suppress the matter. He couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, what I said is consistent with the Xianyang Order. I am incompetent!"
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Ying Zheng's sharp eyes fell on Ying Gao, and his tone was faint: "Master Gao, do you have any objection to the statement of Xianyang Order and Tingwei Mansion?"
Standing up from his position, Ying Gao looked cold and said in a loud voice: "Father, the Tingwei Mansion is responsible for the laws of Qin, and it should be fair and strict. Tingwei should share the worries of the father and the great Qin."
"Since Tingwei knows that he is incompetent and cannot find out the truth of the matter, it is better to take the blame and resign and choose another smart and capable person to take office in order to maintain the majesty of Qin Fa."
"Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Dynasty. Since I can assassinate my son at this moment, it means that the defense of Xianyang Order and Xianyang General Meng Tian has huge loopholes. It also means that only the assassin can plan properly and get my father's travel time and information.
Route, my father will be the next target."
"Father, I think this matter cannot be let go like this. It is related to the safety of the Qin Dynasty. I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one person go."
"Since King Shang's reform, the Qin Dynasty has been extremely strict with knights. I believe that they should be severely punished. If you are a righteous knight, you use force to break the ban, and Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law. This matter must not be tolerated."
"If Tingwei's Mansion cannot find out, I am willing to take charge of Tingwei's Mansion for three months to find out the clues in this matter and arrest all the people involved in the case."
.........
Ying Gao's words shocked everyone.
He never expected that Ying Gao would do this, and he was not willing to let it go even if he offended Meng Tian and the Tingwei Mansion.
In the eyes of everyone, this is unbelievable, but to Ying Gao, this is nothing at all. After all, these people will not join him until Ying Zheng dies.
Even if he offended Meng Tian and Ting Wei, Ying Gao was not afraid that they would give him little shoes to wear.
Otherwise, when the Qin Dynasty changes, everything will be settled.
What's more, Ying Zheng, as the first emperor of the ages, is not a fool, so he naturally doesn't know who is more suitable to inherit the Qin Empire.
