"These rumors are only spread among my brothers who live in Xianyang City?"

"This is the case for the time being, but if the situation continues at this time, it will sooner or later be widely circulated in Xianyang City. Only then did the Taiwei and I waited hard for the Lord to return, and wanted to discuss how to deal with this matter as soon as possible after the Lord returned."

Ying Gao understood why Xiao He was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, but he did not take any action. This was not because of anything else, but because the scope of rumors was concentrated on Ying Gao's brothers.

As Xiao He's identity, if he touched the prince of Daqin casually, it would be of no benefit to such rumors, and it might make the rumors more and more difficult to control.

This happened, which Ying Gao never expected. He had been the emperor of the Qin Dynasty for more than three years. During this period, these sons of the First Emperor were always very obedient.

More than a year ago, with the youngest young man Hu Hai being married by Ying Gao, all the youngest young men lived in Xianyang City, with food, clothing, housing and transportation being provided by Ying Gao, their lives can be said to be very comfortable. When this Qin Dynasty was basically no longer in the time being, such rumors broke out, which made Ying Gao a little confused.

"Then have you found out where the source of this rumor is? Who started to say this first? This matter was actually reported when I was far away from Xianyang City. I think it was a premeditated by someone who was interested. If the source of this rumor can be found, the matter will naturally be resolved. When I am not here, you can't attack my brothers. This is understandable, but it is not too late to deal with it at this time."

Ying Gao briefly analyzed and came to this conclusion. In fact, Ying Gao did not pay much attention to this matter. He had already seen through his dozen brothers. Except for Fusu, who is a person with some ability and some feelings, there was no other dozen people who could be used at all.

To describe it in a sentence that Ying Gao often used in later generations, it was just some wine bags. If you put it in Xianyang City to raise Ying Gao a little bit, you feel that you are wasting money and food in your treasury, but this is something you have to do.

To put it bluntly, Ying Gao would not look down on these descendants of the Ying family at all. If they could do it, they would not have been cheated by Zhao Gao in their previous lives, and in the end, the First Emperor would have ended up with a terrible descendant.

"This... I and the Taiwei started to secretly investigate when the rumors just came out, but at that time, the dozen or so brothers of the king were already secretly circulating this matter, but they were very taboo about this matter on weekdays. Unless the close relatives of the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty could not let them tell the truth. The two of us investigated for more than a month, and there was no result until the king returned. Then we were eager to ask the king to decide."

"Oh? That's what it is?"

Ying Gao was really surprised at this moment. With the minds of the sons of the First Emperor, he couldn't find out who the matter was reported from, so it would be difficult to fix it.

Ying Gao has more than ten brothers. If you arrest one or two, you will violate Qin's rules and kill one to warn a hundred. Of course, everyone will not have any objections. But if you get more than ten, not to mention how the people of the Qin Dynasty think of Ying Gao, even Fusu in Nanhai County will have to do it.

Ying Gao, who studied history in his previous life, knew that since ancient times, the emperor's sons were not brothers, but enemies, but this tradition was not carried forward during the short death of the Qin Dynasty.

So in this era, these so-called brothers should not have such ideas. So who instilled such ideas into them within two or three months of leaving Xianyang City?

Because of the advanced nature of this idea, Ying Gao even doubted whether there was a time traveler like him who had arrived in this era and was no longer happy with him, but he soon gave up this joking idea, because any time traveler who knew a little history would not make any effort on his brothers who were not good at doing anything. They were just a pile of mud that could not be supported by the wall.

The reason why such a thing made Xiao He anxious was that as it fermented, it would affect Ying Gao's image in the hearts of the people of the Qin Dynasty. If not, it would turn Ying Gao from an emperor admired by thousands of people to a loving and righteous emperor.

But that's all about the impact of this incident. Ying Gao's control over Daqin is still unparalleled, at least in the short term.

Of course, Ying Gao didn't want to become a loving emperor in the eyes of the people and in history books, so he still had to deal with this matter, and he had to make such rumors thoroughly informed.

If the disaster caused Xiao Yun, Ying Gao would not have happened to Daqin under his control. In the end, if one of his brothers was cut off by his head at the market gate of Daqin, it would undoubtedly be a loss-making result for Ying Gao.

Seeing that Ying Gao seemed to be in deep thought, it was obvious that it was difficult to understand the matter that had no beginning or end. Xiao He slowly walked to Ying Gao and said to Ying Gao in words that only they both heard clearly: "Why not invite all the young men in Xianyang City to the Xianyang Palace one by one. With the wise eyes of the emperor, if anyone among them has any flaws, it is obvious that if they can stop the horse, while the matter has not been made big, the emperor can warn him. If he really becomes unjust, the emperor will make a decision early!"

If Xiao He's words were heard by the people of the Ying clan, he would have to scold him to death, but Xiao He still said it in front of Ying Gao. Obviously, he just wanted Ying Gao to solve this matter quickly. Since the princes of the Qin Dynasty were all spreading this matter, when they really face Ying Gao alone, they would definitely be very nervous. In this case, the source of this rumor would be self-defeating.

"In this way, it would be nice to find out the source of the rumor, but what if it can't? Or the source is not among my brothers at all, wouldn't I behave in the image of being indifferent to them?"

"this……"

Obviously, Ying Gao's way of thinking about the problem is different from Xiao He. According to Xiao He's method, although it may be possible to find a culprit, this matter cannot be ended by dealing with the culprit.

Ying Gao found an indignant young man and killed him. The rumors were not only unstoppable, but they might become more intense. It is very likely that even if such rumors were encouraged, it further confirmed Ying Gao's image of being indifferent and righteous.

When Ying Gao said this, Xiao He didn't know what to do for a moment. He originally thought that Ying Gao would be able to solve the problem when he came back, but he found that Ying Gao was still a hot potato in his hand.

Who is so vicious? I have finally accumulated public opinion and public opinion. Isn’t it over to make him disturb him? I didn’t offend anyone... I have offended everyone, have died. Could it be Xiang Yu? His character should not be like this...

At this time, one figure after another flashed through Ying Gao's head, but he was excluded from it one by one. For a moment, he really had no object to doubt.

"Your Majesty, I'll let me do the evil people who do this. I'd rather kill them by mistake than let them go! Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined by these mere rumors. It's really a disaster for my Great Qin!"

Seeing Ying Gao standing there blankly and not saying anything, Xiao He simply expressed his thoughts that he had been thinking about for several days.

Ying Gao didn't expect Xiao He to say such words. He was moved, and of course he would not do this. Of course, he knew that there was something called history books that would count the things done by the emperor's confidants on the emperor's head.

Even if Xiao He secretly killed all Ying Gao's brothers, but the wise man is not stupid, he knows that this matter must be instructed by Ying Gao. In the end, the historian's simple words would give Ying Gao a certainty. Moreover, although his more than a dozen so-called brothers are incompetent, they cannot be used as scapegoats for others in vain, right?

"Don't be anxious about the left prime minister, don't be anxious about it. This matter has not yet arrived. It's just a mere rumor. Why take it seriously? I have not been able to reunite with my brothers and sisters after leaving Xianyang City for a long time. Two days later, all my brothers and sisters in Xianyang City will be summoned to Xianyang Palace. I want to hold a family dinner for the Ying clan and tell them who doesn't come, they are not considered members of the Ying clan."

Obviously, Ying Gao had already made some mistakes about this matter after thinking about it for a few times. Xiao He's mind was not bad, but he couldn't stand Ying Gao's point of view. Because he and those young men were not brothers, Ying Gao had to solve this matter himself.

"That's good! I'll tell these young men about this today." Seeing that Ying Gao's usual confident smile appeared on his face, Xiao He knew that he should have some confidence in his heart, so he also felt relieved.

"No, I'll tell them on the day of the banquet, just one hour in advance. I want to see what kind of virtues my brothers have."

Ying Gaoyi said that he would tell those people about the banquet until late in the late autumn. Xiao He seemed to have caught something and immediately became interested. After agreeing, he bid farewell to Ying Gao and walked out of the court quickly, but his steps were obviously much lighter than when he came.

Watching Xiao He walk out of his hall, Ying Gao looked at the starry sky outside the hall that was already a little dark, and the huge Xianyang City around Xianyang Palace, and murmured in his mouth: "It seems that you are really unwilling to be lonely!"

After seeing Xiao He off, Ying Gao did not rest immediately, but came to the table alone, sat there holding his forehead and thought about it, then took out a few empty bamboo slips and started writing something.

In fact, when Ying Gao reached this era, he had already discovered that there were many prototypes of paper in this era. The raw materials were tree bark, hemp and some broken fishing nets, but they did not form a large scale, so there would be no records in history, let alone writing.

Although Ying Gao was determined to advance the papermaking technology for a while, he believed that this was not his short-term goal. Now looking at the heavy bamboo slips in his hand, Ying Gao thought that it might be time to put papermaking on the agenda.

The reason why Ying Gao did not use lighter silk but used bamboo slips in this letter was because it was written to Fusu, who was in the distant Nanhai County. Among all the princes of the Qin Dynasty, Fusu was the only one who could have the eyes of Ying Gao. Moreover, Ying Gao vaguely felt that if the spreading rumors did not make good use of Fusu, his business would be done in vain.

It took nearly half an hour to write, Ying Gao rubbed his slightly sore wrist and put the bamboo slip into a bamboo tube to seal it. Then he summoned an imperial guard in, handed the bamboo tube to him, and gave it to him a few words in his ear.

"Don't worry, this letter will be delivered to Master Fusu as quickly as possible."

Looking at the figure of his own guard leaving, Ying Gao nodded slightly, stood up and stretched, and then slowly walked towards Feng Qing's bedroom...

Two days passed quickly. Ying Gao did nothing in the past two days. Even the bumps on the road made him feel like his bones were about to fall apart after a night of sleep.

So even if he rested on his couch in Xianyang Palace for two days, Ying Gao had almost had a rest after two days, but when he was about to attend a dinner party for his brothers and sisters, the rest of the people in Xianyang City did not have his leisure.

"What? Master wants me to wait for the banquet in Xianyang Palace and have to go there? And it was only an hour ahead of time? I'm afraid there is no good banquet for the banquet!"

"Your Majesty invites me to go to Xianyang Palace? Could it be that the things I have been secretly discussing during these days have been discovered by You? What should I do? Will he wait for me..."

...

Such words were spoken from almost every young master of Qin who received the notification from the imperial guards from Xianyang Palace. They suddenly became ants on the hot pan, but they didn't dare not to go. They could only prepare their clothes to leave the house with their hearts almost jumping out of their throats.

In Hu Hai's mansion, Hu Hai's face was pale and was discussing with Qi Yi and the others in the bedroom.

"This matter... I'm afraid that the Lord has already had a target of doubt in his heart. I'm going here, what if..." Hu Hai looked at Qi Yi and said slowly, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qi Yi.
