Chapter 45: Take the world as a chessboard, the various schools of thought as chess pieces, I as a knife, and Confucianism as the meat!

The Zhangtai Palace is magnificent and golden, with jade steps and dragon scales.

Zhang Han knelt on the ground and reported to the First Emperor in a steady and powerful voice, "Your Majesty, I have learned something. Ye Chi once went to the prison to visit Chunyu Yue and others privately!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, the bamboo slips in his hand trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared between his brows.

He looked at Zhang Han with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice: "Are you serious? Ye Chi was driven out of Fengchang Temple by Chunyu Yue and others, and the conflict was extremely deep. How could he go to visit him again?!"

Zhang Han bowed his head, resting his forehead on the floor tiles, and said, "Every word I said is true."

"Ye Chi has indeed been to prison, but I have not yet found out the reason!"

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, his mind full of doubts.

Ye Chi had always had grudges against Chunyu Yue and others, so he naturally knew about this.

However, Ye Chi's action puzzled him.

Could it be that Ye Chi has already forgotten the past grudges and wants to make peace with Chunyu Yue and others?
Or is there another plan?

The next second, Ying Zheng was suddenly startled, as if a thunderbolt had struck his head from the clear sky. An indescribable feeling of surprise and shock surged from the bottom of his heart, instantly spreading throughout his body!!!
He sat on the dragon throne, but his body trembled slightly involuntarily.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a thick fog, surrounded by unknowns and dangers!

Ye Chi's figure was looming in the thick fog, like a hidden chess master.

"Burning books and burying scholars..."

Ying Zheng murmured to himself that this was originally a grand plan planned by him, aimed at unifying thoughts and consolidating imperial power!
However, at this moment, he was shocked to find that in every move of the chess game, Ye Chi's unfathomable figure seemed to be hidden! !
This young man uses the world as a chessboard and the various schools of thought as chess pieces. He cleverly arranges the arrangements and controls everything!
And I, unknowingly, have become a sharp sword in his hand, and the Confucian disciples have become fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered at his will!

Ying Zheng only felt an inexplicable chill coming over him!

It was as if someone had secretly pulled out an icy dagger from behind him.

As the first emperor who unified the six kingdoms, he boasted that he was both wise and brave and invincible.

However, at this moment, he was in Ye Chi's chess game!

Although there was anger, there was more shock!
Ye Chi’s plan is terrifying! ! ! !

suddenly!
A cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's tiger eyes!
He knew very well that if a person like Ye Chi could be used by Daqin, it would be even more powerful! !
If you can’t… then it will become a big problem!!!

"If you are not useful to me, I will kill you!"

The tone of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng was filled with the power of thunder. Even though Ye Chi was extremely intelligent, he must not threaten the foundation of the Qin Dynasty!

If Fusu can control this man and check and balance all officials in the court, he will surely be an indestructible sword!

By then, it will become easy to consolidate the regime internally or expand territory externally!
If Fusu is unable to control Ye Chi, or if Ye Chi has rebellious intentions... he must be eliminated as soon as possible!!!

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

He decided to closely monitor Ye Chi's every move, and at the same time strengthen communication and contact with other ministers in order to keep abreast of the developments in the court.

In addition, he also needs to strengthen the training and teaching of Fusu so that he has the ability and wisdom to control Ye Chi!

Only in this way can we ensure that the eternal foundation of the Qin Dynasty will not be damaged.

At this moment, Ying Zheng has regained his former calmness and confidence, like a soaring crane, independent of the world.

On the throne, he sat upright, his eyes deep, as if he could see through everything in the world. Although his mind was filled with endless thoughts, his face was as calm as still water, showing the majesty of an emperor.

Ying Zheng knew very well that Ye Chi was extremely talented and intelligent, and was not comparable to ordinary people.

Therefore, he made up his mind that no matter whether Ye Chi was a dormant dragon or a fierce tiger, he must subdue him and make him work for the Qin Dynasty!

However, Ye Chi is no ordinary man, and conquering him is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Although Ying Zheng was full of confidence, he also knew that it would be difficult to succeed without someone who was both intelligent and brave as well as having great means.

However, he firmly believed that with his own military and literary skills and the great national strength of the Qin Dynasty, he would be able to tame this unruly horse! !
But! If things go against your wishes, you can only swing your sword and kill it to prevent future troubles! !
He would never allow anyone or anything to threaten the safety and glory of the Qin Dynasty, no matter how great the cost!

He took a deep breath, suppressed his doubts, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Han, you need to continue investigating this matter and make sure to find out the real purpose of Ye Chi's actions. If there is any progress, report it immediately!"

Zhang Han took the order and left. Ying Zheng sat alone on the imperial couch, brows furrowed, lost in thought.

At this moment, Fusu walked quickly into the palace, his expression was solemn and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was carrying a heavy weight.

He walked hurriedly, his clothes fluttering, and he exuded an indescribable anxiety.

Fusu is the eldest son of the emperor. He is usually gentle and refined, but at this moment he looks worried, obviously he has an urgent matter to report to his father.

He took a few steps forward, bowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, I have urgent military information to report!!"

After saying that, he looked up, his eyes full of anxiety and expectation!
When Ying Zheng saw this, he was startled and knew that something big was about to happen!

He put down the red brush in his hand and asked in a deep voice: "My son, why are you so flustered?"

Fusu took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner fluctuations, and said in a deep voice: "Father, Mr. Ye Chi sent a message saying that General Tu Ju might not use his poisonous strategy in the battle of Baiyue. Instead, he will act on his own and divide his troops to go deep into dangerous places!!"

"I am worried that this move will lead to a pincer attack from the Baiyue tribes, and our army will be doomed!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's face suddenly changed, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes!
He stood up suddenly and asked in a stern voice: "Are you serious?!"

His voice revealed anxiety and worry that were difficult to conceal.

Fusu nodded and said, "It is absolutely true. I just came back from Mr. Ye Chi's visit. I heard what he said personally. I dare not lie to him at all!"

Ying Zheng's expression became increasingly solemn.

Ying Zheng stood up suddenly, his imperial robe fluttering, bringing up a gust of wind! !
"How dare Tu Ju... act so recklessly!"

"The Battle of Baiyue is an important battle for our Great Qin to expand its territory. It concerns the safety of our territory. How could he act so rashly?!"

In anger, Ying Zheng immediately picked up his brush and wrote the imperial edict quickly!
In the imperial edict, Ying Zheng sternly warned Tu Sui: "As a general, you should know that the way of war is to use deception! You must use Ye Chi's strategy and be careful of the Baiyue tribe's sneak attacks, ambushes and other tricks. Don't repeat the same mistakes and damage the reputation of our Great Qin!"

At the same time, he prayed secretly, hoping that what Ye Chi was worried about would never happen, and hoped that it would not be too late!

But! After this incident, Ying Zheng felt more and more that Ye Chi's wisdom was terrifying.

He sat on the imperial couch, pondered for a moment, and then ordered Fusu to come forward.

When Fusu heard the summons, he immediately stepped forward, bowed and said, "Father, I am here."

Ying Zheng stared at Fusu with deep eyes, and slowly asked: "My son, what do you think of Ye Chi?"
