Chapter 10 We were just joking around, sir. Please tell me about what will happen after this!
Chapter 10 We were just joking around, sir. Please tell me about what will happen after this!
Just then, Right Chancellor Li Si slowly walked out from the ranks of civil officials.
He bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng, his expression humble and his tone calm, showing no trace of his previous reprimands and dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, although this boy speaks wildly and his words are outlandish, the objects he just displayed are not something that could be forged by human hands, nor could they be possessed by spies from the six kingdoms."
This is sufficient proof that he was not a spy, but rather someone with a special background.
At this point, Liston paused, still maintaining a cautious attitude:
"However, what he said about the future fate of the Qin Dynasty is too earth-shattering. It needs to be carefully considered and verified. It cannot be believed at all, nor can it be ignored directly."
Your Majesty, I believe the best course of action is to keep him by your side for now, question him carefully, and then make a final decision.
Li Si was always meticulous and prudent in his actions. He acknowledged Jiang Qing's identity but did not fully agree with his pronouncements about the fall of the country.
This gave Ying Zheng the safest way out and also preserved the proper decorum in the court.
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Tian, standing at the forefront of the military ranks, strode forward, long sword in hand, and bowed deeply to Ying Zheng, his voice loud and earnest:
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is absolutely right! The methods he has displayed have long surpassed the common sense of the world, and are by no means a fabrication."
The fate of the Qin Dynasty is of paramount importance, and since he comes from the future, he must know more inside information.
It might be wise to keep him by your side and ask him questions carefully, so you can take precautions early.
"I agree. Spare his life for now and inquire further about the consequences!"
Meng Tian was upright and straightforward, and although he had previously been dissatisfied with Jiang Qing's arrogant remarks.
Having witnessed the magic of the mobile phone firsthand, all murderous intent had long since vanished.
He was only concerned about the fate of the Qin Dynasty and hoped to learn more about the truth from Jiang Qing in order to prevent any unforeseen events.
Two high-ranking officials spoke in succession, and the entire court of civil and military officials echoed their sentiments.
No one else suggested killing Jiang Qing; they all agreed with Li Si and Meng Tian's proposal.
As Ying Zheng listened to the advice of the crowd and looked at Jiang Qing, who stood calmly and composedly below, the last trace of doubt in his heart gradually disappeared.
He slowly put down his phone, leaned forward slightly, and no longer cared about his imperial dignity.
He had always believed in gods and immortals, but at this moment he had no choice but to accept it.
Jiang Qing is either a person from two thousand years in the future, or a hermit immortal who descended to earth to guide people through their confusion.
Regardless of which one they are, they are not ordinary people whom he can arbitrarily reprimand or kill; they are more worthy of his imperial dignity and being treated with courtesy.
Having been a hostage in another country since childhood, Ying Zheng naturally developed the habit of being flexible and adaptable, which can be described as a transformation from dragon to snake!
Having made up his mind at this moment, Ying Zheng decided to treat the talented with courtesy and humility. He quickly walked down the steps and headed straight for Jiang Qing.
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Guards standing beside Jiang Qing immediately bowed and stepped aside, not daring to even breathe loudly.
The imperial guards who had been holding Jiang Qing down immediately released their grip.
She hurriedly untied the remaining ropes binding him, then respectfully stepped aside, showing none of her previous toughness.
Just when the ministers thought that Ying Zheng had no intention of letting Jiang Qing go, he prepared to execute her personally to vent his hatred.
Just as Fusu, Meng Tian, and others were about to offer their advice, something truly astonishing happened!
Ying Zheng walked up to Jiang Qing and looked at the strangely dressed young man who exuded composure.
The previous cold killing intent vanished completely, replaced by deep respect and apology.
He even reached out and gently helped Jiang Qing up, his tone exceptionally gentle:
"Sir, there's no need for such formalities. I was just joking around!"
Previously, I was confused, blinded by anger, and wrongly suspected you, sir, even nearly injuring you. I hope you will not blame me.
This scene shocked all the officials in the court, leaving them wide-eyed!
How domineering was the First Emperor?
The emperor's majesty has always been inviolable; when has he ever humbled himself before anyone, bowing and apologizing so readily?!
Although the First Emperor ruled with authority, he was also flexible. He was always interested in matters of immortals and gods, so how could he let go of such an extraordinary person?
People who possess such rare items are naturally treated with great courtesy and won over with their kindness.
Jiang Qing used Ying Zheng's strength to stand up and moved her slightly numb wrists.
Jiang Qing looked at Ying Zheng's current appearance and at the awe in the eyes of the court officials.
Seeing Zhao Gao kneeling on the ground, not daring to move, the heart that had been hanging in suspense for so long finally settled down completely.
From being mistaken for a spy and sentenced to beheading after transmigrating, to making outrageous remarks that caused a huge uproar.
After taking out his phone to prove his identity, he finally escaped death after several brushes with it!
At the same moment, the system's notification sounds rang out frantically in Jiang Qing's mind once again.
A massive influx of shock points confirmed his identity as a transmigrator.
[Ding! Detected that Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, is completely convinced, confirming the host's identity as a transmigrator. Ultimate Shock Value +5000!]
[Ding! The entire court has acknowledged the host, triggering a surge in collective awe and shock value +4000!]
[Ding! +1000!]
……
[Current Shock Level: 31200!]
Feeling the reassuring notifications from the system within his body, and seeing Ying Zheng's expression, the weight that had been hanging over him finally lifted.
Upon seeing Jiang Qing rise, Ying Zheng immediately turned to the eunuchs outside the hall and sternly ordered:
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly bring the finest brocade stool and place it in the hall, then bestow upon the gentleman the seat of honor!"
The eunuchs dared not delay and hurriedly ran to fetch a thick brocade stool embroidered with cloud patterns.
It was placed respectfully in the center of the main hall, even a few places ahead of Prime Minister Li Si, which fully demonstrated Ying Zheng's high regard for Jiang Qing.
"Please sit down, sir." Ying Zheng turned to the side and raised his hand, addressing him respectfully as "sir," thus setting aside his imperial airs.
His tone was filled with barely concealed urgency and genuine reverence as he looked directly at Jiang Qing and asked:
"Sir...sir, are you truly from the future, two thousand years in the future?"
Gone were the previous rage and rebukes; only solemnity and urgency remained.
He desperately wanted to know the answer!
I desperately want to confirm whether what Jiang Qing said about the Qin Dynasty ending with only two emperors is true, and I desperately want to know how to avert this inevitable fate.
Jiang Qing did not refuse and sat down directly, with her back straight and her expression calm and composed.
Zhao Gao, kneeling in the corner, was already trembling with fear, his forehead pressed tightly against the cold ground, not even having the courage to raise his head.
He had repeatedly instigated the First Emperor to try and kill Jiang Qing.
Now that Jiang Qing is honored as a teacher by the First Emperor and holds a prestigious position, he is well aware of this.
He had become a thorn in Jiang Qing's side. If the First Emperor were to investigate, he would surely die. He could only cower and dare not make a sound.
Ying Zheng frowned. After all, Zhao Gao had served him for many years and there were still feelings between them. He gave a wink to the eunuchs on his left and right, and Zhao Gao was thus carried away like a dead dog.
They were placed in a corner of the palace to await orders!
Ignoring Zhao Gao, who was already like a dead dog, Jiang Qing raised her eyes to meet Ying Zheng's gaze.
His tone was clear and firm as he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, there is no need for any further doubt."
This phone is the best proof that I did indeed travel from the future, two thousand years in the future, and everything I have said is true; there has not been a single lie.
Although he is now out of danger, he is still in the Qin Dynasty.
Despite being subject to the First Emperor's authority, and considering that he was also an ancestor, he still deserved appropriate respect.
With the added benefit of his Shock System, Jiang Qing decided to continue revealing more information!
The more information is revealed, the angrier the First Emperor will become; the angrier the emperor is, the safer he will be; and the safer he is, the more information he will reveal!
As soon as Jiang Qing finished speaking, Ying Zheng trembled, and the last trace of hesitation in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of urgency and solemnity.
Ying Zheng was, after all, the First Emperor, unlike later rulers who humbled themselves and took others as their teachers in order to honor the gods.
It should be noted that in history, even Xu Fu, who was capable of seeking immortality and divination, was a matter of life and death, and was given whatever he wanted, so that Xu Fu would submit to his authority and dare not act recklessly.
After demonstrating his respect for scholars, Ying Zheng sat back on the dragon throne, his gaze fixed on Jiang Qing, and took a deep breath.
Unable to suppress his doubts any longer, he spoke to Jiang Qing, his tone both respectful and urgent:
"Sir, now that the evidence is irrefutable, I am convinced that you are an extraordinary person from the future."
As you said before, my Qin Dynasty only lasted for two generations, and I have always been uneasy about it.
"I humbly request your guidance, sir, and ask you to tell me about what will happen after my death, so that I may make preparations in advance!"
Seeing Ying Zheng's anxious expression, Jiang Qing smiled calmly.
