Chapter 51 Settling Accounts Afterwards!
There was a five-second silence on the other end of the phone.
Followed by.
Zhu Feng's voice rang out again, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"……Understood."
Zhang Fan was completely dumbfounded: "Wait, sir... how do you know so much?"
"Of course we know!"
Zhu Feng explained in a very fast-paced manner.
"Because just now, we've been monitoring the real-time changes in the *History of Qin*!"
"You succeeded during your time out of contact!"
"Not only did they save lives, but they also enabled the potato to be widely available!"
"The result is... the average life expectancy of all citizens in our country!"
"From 83 years old, he went straight to 88! You are a hero of China!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fan felt a surge of pride and joy.
however.
Zhu Feng abruptly changed the subject!
"But! Just minutes after we confirmed our success, the record in the *History of Qin* changed again!"
"Below the section on offsetting your merits and demerits, a new line of small print has appeared!"
Zhu Feng read each word clearly:
[After Zhang Fan awoke, he stood before Ying Yinman, the daughter of the First Emperor, at her bedside!]
[Their words were disrespectful, and the two...became sworn enemies.]
boom!!!
Zhang Fan's mind went completely blank for a moment!
The daughter of the First Emperor...
Ying Yinman...
Disrespectful language...
They became sworn enemies...
He suddenly recalled everything that had just happened:
He mistook her for a eunuch, said she had a vibrator, and even tackled her to the ground!
His hand... his hand was inside her clothes...
This is more than just disrespectful language!
This is absolutely outrageous!
Making a deep-seated hatred is the least of your worries!
In ancient times, wouldn't this person have been executed by being cut into a thousand pieces?
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Feng calmly delivered the final announcement:
"Comrade Zhang Fan, you need to understand one thing now."
"The woman who slapped you and took your phone from your pocket just now is Princess Ying Yinman, the most beloved daughter of the First Emperor of Qin."
"Historical records describe it as disrespectful, but based on your description, the matter... is clearly more serious!"
Zhang Fan stood frozen in place, holding his phone, completely petrified.
My head is buzzing!
It's all ancient tortures like "cutting into a thousand pieces" and "death by a thousand cuts"!
Oh shit!
I worked so hard to extend the lives of the entire nation by five years!
So, just because he touched the princess, he's going to die?
That was such a tragic and unjust death!
Just as Zhang Fan was sweating profusely and felt like the sky was about to fall!
On the other end of the phone!
Zhu Feng's calm voice rang out again!
"Calm down, Zhang Fan!"
"Things haven't gotten to the worst point yet!"
Zhu Feng speaks very fast, but his words are clear and logical!
"Before you returned the call, we had already urgently assembled the country's top psychology and behavioral analysis experts and deployed supercomputing models!"
"An emergency simulation was conducted based on Ying Yinman's personality and the current situation!"
Zhang Fan was stunned!
"Deduction? This can be deduced?"
"able!"
Zhu Feng's tone was absolutely certain!
"Based on the analysis, there's an 84% chance that Ying Yinman won't tell everyone about you seducing her!"
"Why?" Zhang Fan asked instinctively.
"Because of history books!" Zhu Feng hit the nail on the head!
"If she had told the First Emperor the whole truth, the historical records wouldn't have described it as 'disrespectful speech,' but rather 'molestation of the princess'!"
"You are now a corpse!"
"A woman's reputation was of paramount importance in ancient times! Making a scene won't do her any good!"
Zhang Fan's heart instantly settled back into his stomach!
Yup!
History is the best evidence!
He said with a hint of helplessness, "So what's going to happen next? I'll have to pay some price, won't I?"
"After all, I was involved in the rebellion with Fusu! They can't really let me off the hook!"
"That's right!" Zhu Feng continued.
"Based on the analysis, the First Emperor will most likely demote you!"
"He needs to punish you to silence the officials in the court!"
"Demotion?" Zhang Fan frowned.
"But this is precisely your opportunity!"
Zhu Feng's voice revealed a hint of excitement!
"You can take this opportunity to head an institution dedicated to the study of natural phenomena, and call it the 'Academy of Natural Phenomena'!"
"We want to take full control of potato cultivation, promotion, and the research and development of various new technologies!"
"Remember, Comrade Zhang Fan!"
"Ensuring the people have enough to eat and wear, and winning their hearts and minds, is the first step! This is more important than any official position!"
Zhu Feng's words!
It instantly enlightened Zhang Fan!
Correct!
What's the point of being an official?
Developing science and technology, and scaling the technological ladder, is the only way forward!
Zhang Fan nodded heavily, his eyes regaining their resolve!
"I see!"
"Squeak—"
Just then!
The palace doors were pushed open from the outside!
A domineering figure strode in, surrounded by a group of eunuchs!
The person who arrived was none other than the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
He saw that Zhang Fan had woken up and was standing there, a faint, ambiguous smile curving his dignified face.
Ying Zheng looked at him and slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of amusement:
"Zhang Fan, you're really lucky to be alive."
Zhang Fan felt a shiver run through his body!
He hung up the phone and hurriedly stuffed it back into his pocket.
He didn't dare to look Ying Zheng in the eye and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"
He was incredibly nervous!
I just tackled someone's most precious daughter!
Facing the person directly now is incredibly awkward!
Ying Zheng waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the eunuchs and palace maids around him.
"All of you, step back!"
"Here you go!"
Everyone disappeared instantly.
In the vast palace, only Ying Zheng and Zhang Fan, whose heart was pounding, remained.
Ying Zheng walked over and sat down in the main seat, looking at Zhang Fan, who was looking down, with great curiosity.
"I thought you wouldn't wake up."
He spoke slowly.
"You did a great job this time!"
"Not only did he clear out the remnants of the six kingdoms who were hiding in Xianyang, but he also ensured that the promotion of this potato would be unimpeded."
At this point, Ying Zheng's tone suddenly turned serious!
"This is it... the one who arbitrarily killed a high-ranking official of the court, and even took Fusu with him, committing treason..."
A terrifying imperial pressure made it hard for Zhang Fan to breathe!
Ying Zheng stared intently at Zhang Fan and asked, word by word:
"And what explanation do you have for that?"
Zhang Fan's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat!
He knew that Ying Zheng was probably giving him a warning.
But at the moment.
His mind was filled with Ying Yinman's face, which was both ashamed and angry, and he felt that every word Ying Zheng spoke was full of murderous intent!
He dared not joke at all, and could only bite the bullet and stammer:
"Your Majesty... I... I was only focused on promoting potatoes at the time!"
"I didn't think that much about it... His Highness the Crown Prince... was also doing it for the sake of the Qin Dynasty..."
He didn't dare to finish his sentence before bringing up Fusu!
I hope to share some of the blame.
"..."
Seeing his frightened appearance, Ying Zheng's dignified expression suddenly crumbled.
That kid was decisive and ruthless outside the palace a few days ago!
Why have you become so timid?
He glared at Zhang Fan with annoyance and snorted coldly!
"Demoted!"
"I think you're too flashy! From now on, keep a low profile! Stop attracting everyone's attention!"
"Your merits and demerits cancel each other out; you may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment! I hereby revoke your position as a high-ranking official!"
