Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 9 Why didn't Your Majesty kill Zhao Gao?

"So, the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture is not very suitable, and his status is at most equivalent to that of Nine Ministers!"

After hearing this, Meng Yi's expression froze. He knew that Lin Anlan was very capable and His Majesty valued him very much. However, the position of Jiuqing was not low, but His Majesty still felt it was not enough. Was it necessary to set up a position higher than the Three Dukes?

"Your Majesty really trusts her!" Meng Yi sighed.

"Of course, she is worthy of my trust." Ying Zheng said seriously.

Of course, there was one thing he didn't say, which was that he didn't have much time left, so he planned to take a gamble. He put all his pressure on Lin Anlan, otherwise, according to the latter, once he died, Daqin would be in danger.

Moreover, he had actually already thought of an official position that was very suitable for Lin Anlan, but he just needed to consider it further.

"Let's go back and talk about it!" Ying Zheng said.

"promise."

The three of them quickly returned to the Xianyang Palace.

At the small manor, Lin Anlan was still busy in the fields. She first drew the design of the curved plow, and then found a few people to modify the curved plow.

The modified curved plow has increased its efficiency by at least several times compared to before.

"With these curved plows, the production efficiency of crops will be greatly improved in the future." Lin Anlan smiled.

She is now waiting for the potatoes and carrots to be planted and then harvested slowly.

"What should I do next?" Lin Anlan was confused. She didn't know what to do next. After thinking about it, she decided to let it go and wait until the system was turned on.

……

In the Qilin Hall, Ying Zheng sat high on the dragon throne, with all the civil and military officials gathered below.

"If you have something to report, please come forward. If not, please dismiss the court." A eunuch's sharp voice rang out.

Zhao Gao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and asked, "What's the matter, Lord Zhao?"

"I heard that Your Majesty is ill and only has a hundred days left to live. I am willing to donate my millions of fortune to build a mausoleum for Your Majesty." Zhao Gao said loudly with a sad face.

"what?"

"impossible!"

"Your Majesty is in such good health, how could he only have a hundred days left to live?"

The faces of the ministers in the court suddenly changed, and they began to discuss. However, Ying Zheng asked calmly, "Lord Zhao, where did you hear this news?"

"Your Majesty, I dreamed of a black unicorn last night. It told me that Your Majesty only has a hundred days to live." Zhao Gao said loudly, then knelt down. "Your Majesty, please make preparations early."

"Your Majesty, please make preparations early." Many ministers knelt on the ground.

Li Si and Meng Yi stood there without moving, watching all this coldly.

"Li Si, what do you think?" The First Emperor asked the former.

Li Si replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, I believe that life and death are determined by heaven, and there is no need to force it."

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Meng Yi, "Meng Yi, what do you think?"

"Your Highness and I share the same idea," Meng Yi said quickly.

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction again.

Under the court, many ministers began to have different thoughts. They had to consider one thing, that is, if the first emperor really only had a hundred days left to live, what should they do? Should they continue to be officials of the Qin Dynasty? Or should they find another way out?

This is something they have to consider.

"My dear ministers, there is no need to panic. Life and death are determined by fate. There is no need to worry too much. Let's adjourn the court!" After saying this, Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Many ministers said: "Your Majesty, you must pay attention to the dragon's body!"

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded, turned and left.

Seeing the reactions of the ministers, Meng Yi was extremely anxious. He was worried that the First Emperor would make an irrational decision in a fit of anger. So he hurriedly chased after him and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng looked at him puzzledly.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao's evil ambitions are obvious. Please don't fall for his evil schemes."

"Yes, I know." Ying Zheng nodded. He was extremely calm and was not shaken at all by what Zhao Gao had just said.

"Then why did Your Majesty just now..." Meng Yi was a little confused.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "Too gentle?"

"Yes."

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi meaningfully: "Only in this way will those ministers have other ideas."

"Your Majesty is wise." Meng Yi suddenly realized.

……

"The imperial examination system has been perfected. What should I do next?" Lin Anlan fell into deep thought. She had planned to continue improving farm tools, but she didn't expect her brother and Meng Er to come.

"Mr. Lin, we are here to bother you again." Meng Yi said with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, I'll go get some wine and food." Lin Anlan smiled, then went to prepare the wine and food. She did not notice the expressions of Ying Zheng and Meng Yi.

She quickly prepared a table of food and wine.

Meng Yi got straight to the point: "Mr. Lin, we are here to discuss something with you."

"what's up?"

"Today, Zhao Gao actually said in front of the entire court that Your Majesty only has a hundred days to live."

"What?" Lin Anlan was shocked and found it unbelievable. "He dared to say such outrageous words?"

Meng Yi said in a deep voice: "So there must be something fishy about this matter."

Lin Anlan quickly shook his head: "You'd better not mention this matter, otherwise the three of us will be beheaded."

"Mr. Lin is still afraid of this?" Meng Yi was a little surprised.

Lin Anlan said unhappily: "Of course I'm afraid. I don't know martial arts. If someone chops off my head, won't I be dead?"

Meng Yi nodded awkwardly: "Mr. Lin is right."

"But this matter is definitely not that simple." Lin Anlan changed the subject and looked at Meng Yi, "Tell me your thoughts first."

The latter thought for a moment and said, "I think Zhao Gao just wants to force Your Majesty to abdicate."

"No, it's not that simple." Lin Anlan shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "I think Zhao Gao is desperate."

"A dog jumping over the wall in a hurry?"

Lin Anlan asked back: "That's right, in fact, we can think about it, why didn't Your Majesty kill Zhao Gao?"

"I do not know."

Meng Yi shook his head. Not only he couldn't understand it, but even his elder brother Meng Tian and some other people couldn't understand why His Majesty had always protected Zhao Gao.

The next moment, Lin Anlan said something shocking: "Because the First Emperor needs Zhao Gao."

"Need Zhao Gao?" Meng Yi was completely confused.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, because Lin Anlan really hit the nail on the head. He really needed Zhao Gao. With such a villain around, he could see many things clearly.
