Ying Zheng's words also made many people realize that the affairs of the Great Qin imperial family were not something they could interfere with.
Especially regarding Lin Tian's matters, they had even less qualification to intervene.
If Lin Tian were to become angry, he would not care if they were ministers; he would act without hesitation when the time came.
After all, within Great Qin, there were plenty of people; if this batch of officials were eliminated, another batch would follow.
Thinking of this, they were all extremely fearful.
They were very worried whether Lin Tian would take action against them if he found out about this matter.
As soon as this thought arose, many of them became uneasy.
It was only after several days had passed and Lin Tian had not taken much action against them that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, they felt a sense of surviving a catastrophe.
"Phew! We were too careless. We shouldn't have interfered with His Highness the Crown Prince's affairs. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know how we died!"
"But, our daughters, our daughters didn't become the Crown Princess! What will happen to our daughters!"
"Crown Princess? What good is a Crown Princess when one is dead! If she didn't become the Crown Princess, it's her own incompetence, not ours!"
If before they had harbored some hope for the position of Crown Princess, now they had completely given up.
They feared that if they thought too much, they would die without knowing how.
Therefore, it was better for them to honestly stay out of it, to not contend for anything. This way, they might still have a chance to live.
It wasn't just one person who had this thought. After Ying Zheng executed a group of people, they all became obedient.
One by one, they became diligent.
The reason Lin Tian didn't deal with this matter was that he was busy preparing for his wedding.
Marriage was a very important event for Lin Tian.
After all, his marriage would signify the finalization of the Crown Princess's selection.
Not only that, but after Lin Tian's marriage, he would inherit Ying Zheng's throne.
He would then become the true Second Emperor of Qin, the second emperor of Great Qin.
After him, there would be a third, a fourth emperor.
This move would completely change the history of Great Qin and elevate it to even greater heights.
However, others only knew that Lin Tian was going to marry a Crown Princess; they had no idea that Lin Tian was also going to inherit Ying Zheng's throne and become the second emperor of Great Qin.
If they knew this, the entire nation would undoubtedly erupt in excitement, and countless people would flock to Xianyang.
However, even just the news of Lin Tian marrying a princess was enough to draw countless people towards Xianyang City.
Many officials wanted to witness firsthand what kind of person Lin Tian's chosen Crown Princess would be.
Many ministers even wished to present themselves at court from their own territories.
If Lin Tian hadn't ultimately stopped them, the number of people entering Xianyang City would have likely caused it to explode.
However, even without an explosion, Xianyang City at this time was already packed with people.
The streets and alleys were teeming with people.
If one threw a brick, it would likely hit a large number of officials.
Such a scene was unprecedented.
Even Ying Zheng was greatly surprised.
He then smiled, hands behind his back.
"Good, good, good! This is truly a prosperous era!"
"With so many people gathered in Xianyang, even I have never witnessed such a scene!"
"I believe that Great Qin will become more and more prosperous in the future!"
Upon hearing these words, countless people agreed.
They too had never seen such a prosperous scene.
Because of this, they were filled with hope for a prosperous future.
Even thinking about their descendants living a life free from worry, each of them revealed a look of joy.
Even the common people of Great Qin felt this way.
They believed that a golden age had arrived.
Unconsciously, auspicious couplets were pasted in every household.
With the appearance of these couplets, the atmosphere of Xianyang City became even more distinct.
Many hawkers also came out at this time, and the roads were densely packed with pedestrians, even more lively than during the Spring Festival.
Such a scene was truly one of universal celebration.
However, on this day of universal celebration, Ying Zheng's behavior was somewhat strange.
He did not proclaim a general celebration, nor did he issue a decree for a general amnesty.
Such behavior was truly perplexing.
"What are His Majesty's intentions? Why is there no general amnesty this time?"
"Honestly, I can't understand it either, but looking at His Majesty's demeanor, he seems to have his own plans!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince is getting married, what other plans could there be? Could it be that His Majesty is not satisfied with the Crown Princess? But His Majesty did not show the slightest dissatisfaction in court!"
Many people could not comprehend Ying Zheng's behavior.
They truly did not understand why such an important event was not formally announced to the world by Ying Zheng.
If it weren't for the fact that many people knew about Lin Tian's impending marriage, perhaps not so many people would have come to Xianyang City.
However, even though many people knew about Lin Tian's marriage, there were still quite a few who had not received the news.
Because of this, during court sessions, a minister proposed to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince's wedding should be proclaimed to the world so that everyone can know!"
"Indeed, Your Majesty! This is a matter of great importance to the entire realm, how can there be no formal announcement!"
"Your Majesty, please allow the ministers to draft a proclamation to announce this matter to the world. This way, it will be an explanation to all the people!"
They felt that this matter must be announced to the world; only then would it be an explanation to all the people.
But Ying Zheng had different thoughts in his heart.
The reason he did not announce this matter to the world was that Lin Tian's marriage to the Crown Princess was just the beginning.
After he married the Crown Princess, Ying Zheng would do one thing: abdicate the throne and let Lin Tian become the emperor of Great Qin.
This matter was fundamental to Great Qin and also concerned the entire realm.
Compared to this, Lin Tian marrying the Crown Princess seemed less important.
Therefore, Ying Zheng had delayed announcing it to the world and issuing a general amnesty.
However, now that so many ministers had brought it up, he could no longer remain silent.
After these ministers spoke, he opened his mouth and said:
"This matter indeed needs to be proclaimed to the world!!"
"However, this matter, I will handle personally, and you do not need to interfere!"
"As for the content of the proclamation, you will know in a few days!"
Ying Zheng's words made others interpret them as having a deeper meaning.
It seemed as if there was a hidden message within Ying Zheng's words.
However, they did not dare to speculate rashly, as there were few matters more important than marrying the Crown Princess.
But whichever it was, it concerned the future of Great Qin.
