Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Chapter 26 The Emperor's Disciple

"Your Majesty, stop this! I want to go back to sleep!"

Tang Yu, on the verge of tears, tried to elicit a pitiful response from Ying Zheng.

You have to understand that in the month since he transmigrated, he has either been trekking through mountains and rivers every day without enough to eat or wear, or he has been busy scheming against people in the court. He has hardly had a good night's sleep. For someone who originally loved to slack off, this was simply torture!

Upon seeing this scene, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile. It seems that even immortals have their own hobbies. This Mr. Tang is quite interesting!

However, even the talents of the six states, I have to do everything I can to get them to work for Qin. How much more so for someone like you, Mr. Tang, who is born with great talent? In that case, I have no choice but to ask you to do this!

"Mr. Tang, you came up with this solution for me, and you even said you would resolve this matter for me. You can't be lying, can you?"

Tang Yu recalled his conversation with Ying Zheng yesterday and nodded with a bitter expression.

He wanted to slap himself twice for speaking without thinking, and now he was being conscripted into the army.

"Brother Zheng, I really misspoke, please don't hold it against me!"

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Ying Zheng rubbed his head with his hand, and there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.

Even with Tang Yu's help and having given up many bad habits, he still felt somewhat powerless.

"In fact, what I said about only trusting you was not an empty promise!"

Tang Yu raised his head, looked Ying Zheng up and down, and then chuckled.

"Your Majesty is joking. Isn't it because Prime Minister Li has returned? Besides, with so many talented people in our Great Qin, why must we choose me?"

"Mr. Tang, please ask yourself, if you were me, how would you react to someone who later alters your will, kills your son, and ruins your life's work?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Tang Yu understood Ying Zheng. If it were him, Li Si would probably be dead by now, and he would never allow him to live.

Noticing the change in Tang Yu's expression, Ying Zheng nodded and then let out a long sigh.

"It's not that I don't trust Prime Minister Li, but the thought of what he will do in the future sends chills down my spine. Even if I were to reinstate him as Prime Minister now, I would not trust him!"

"What about Generals Meng Tian and Meng Yi? And the Wang family, father and sons, three generations of generals—aren't they trustworthy as well?"

"The Wang family is indeed trustworthy, but with that old fox Wang Jian around, they won't take on this matter. After all, he's a master at judging situations!"

Speaking of Wang Jian, Tang Yu felt a deep sense of admiration for him. It seemed that this man had taken the concept of self-preservation to its extreme, but at the same time, he was absolutely loyal to the emperor and loved his country!

Before the final battle, in order to dispel Ying Zheng's suspicions about him, he specifically demanded a large amount of gold, silver, jewels, and beautiful women. He was truly a shrewd and calculating person!

"If he were to take on this task, there would likely be some voices against him in the court, and he would absolutely never agree to it!"

Ying Zheng then spoke again.

"But I also trust the Meng brothers; otherwise, Meng Tian would not have committed suicide with Fusu in the future."

"But loyalty alone is not enough for some things; ability is also required. The two brothers are brave and capable generals, but they are lacking in other aspects."

Ying Zheng is currently in a very difficult situation, caught between a rock and a hard place, while Tang Yu is still trying to make a final stand.

"That Right Chancellor Feng Quji, with his talent..."

"Mr. Tang!"

Ying Zheng was somewhat troubled at this moment. The future that Tang Yu described was like a thorn stuck in his heart, a thorn that caused him excruciating pain whenever he touched it.

"Mr. Tang, you should know that after a night of contemplation, I have realized that if these secretaries are selected by a certain person, then they will surely remember that person's kindness in the future!"

"At that time, if collusion and factional alliances occur, it will be difficult to prevent. As for Mr. Tang, to be frank, judging from your appearance, even if you have the slightest idea about these things, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to put it into practice!"

Tang Yu: ? ? ? ?

What words? What is this nonsense?

Tang Yu felt a vein throb on his forehead as he listened to Ying Zheng's words.

"Your Majesty, isn't this blatantly calling me lazy? That's going too far!!"

Seeing Tang Yu's behavior, Ying Zheng finally couldn't maintain his serious expression.

"Hahaha, sir, please forgive me, I really couldn't hold back any longer!"

"Your Majesty has gone too far."

Seeing Tang Yu's resentful gaze, Ying Zheng forcibly suppressed his laughter and finally became serious. He stood up and gave Tang Yu a deep bow.

"In that case, I entrust the future of my Great Qin to you, sir!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's demeanor, Tang Yu knew he couldn't refuse the task, so he nodded, indicating that he had accepted it.

Speaking of his relationship with Ying Zheng, it's like that of a ruler and his subject, friends, and sometimes even a teacher and student. They are currently in a state of being both teacher and friend.

The wheels of history, too, began to deviate from their original course due to Tang Yu's arrival.

Aside from some major events that are destined to happen and may still happen, there are many other things that may not even happen, which is why Tang Yu feels somewhat lost at this moment.

However, turning our attention back to Ying Zheng, even if Xiang Yu is incredibly brave and Liu Bang is good at using people, would the two of you dare to rebel if Ying Zheng were here?

Remembering Ying Zheng's concerns, Tang Yu decided to help this humble and eager-to-learn First Emperor resolve a major worry, so that Brother Zheng could have fewer things to worry about every day and live a few more years.

"Your Majesty, I have some thoughts I'd like to discuss with you regarding the transfer system for these selected secretaries and related officials."

"Mr. Tang, please speak freely!"

Ying Zheng's eyes gleamed as he sat upright, looking at Tang Yu. He knew that his national advisor was an immortal, and his abilities were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

“Your Majesty, these secretaries can be selected by me, but they can also be decided by Your Majesty.”

"I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of the term 'disciple of the Son of Heaven'?"
