Ran Fang's words made Fusu unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Indeed, as Ran Fang said, he lived deep in the palace and had no personal feelings about the sufferings of the people in the world.
Even so, he was a little aggrieved and felt that what Ran Fang said was a bit alarmist.
"If the world is in danger as you said, how could you not know that His Majesty has been on tour several times?"
"How can your Majesty sit back and watch the chaos in the world and remain indifferent?"
Ran Fang was sitting on his bed, ready to rest, when he heard Fu Su coming and asking.
He sighed and sat up, the expression on his face seemed to be mocking Fusu's naivety.
"Now that His Majesty is on patrol, how can those old nobles show their ambitions in front of His Majesty? Are they afraid that they will die too slowly?"
Fusu's expression was dull for a moment, and then he realized what Ran Fang meant, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Ran Fang, who was sitting on the bed, did not see his expression, and then said: "Remember one sentence, although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die."
With this sentence, Fusu's breathing stopped for a moment. He looked at Ran Fang and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
It took him a few seconds before he found his voice.
"Sir, this statement...is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Ran Fang looked at him, shook his head, and said in a very serious tone: Don't underestimate those people, especially the Chu State. At that time, the King of Chu and the nobles shared the same world. After a series of reforms, the nobles of Chu State still did not shake. Status, this is enough to explain the problem. "
"The original Changping Lord Xiong Qi was the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. He held a high and powerful position. Didn't he also have the trust of His Majesty?"
"But at the critical moment of destroying Chu, he actually rebelled, conspired with Xiang Yan, and raided Li Xin's army. As a result, the 200,000-strong army suffered heavy losses, which is enough to explain the problem."
"So, after Chu was destroyed, the Chu land returned to the Qin Dynasty, but the nobles did not surrender to the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, the harder the Qin Dynasty suppressed the Chu land, the more they wanted to resist, and they would even force the nobles to unite. "
"By then, the nobles of Chu who work together will form a powerful army that can even compete with Qin."
I have to say that what Ran Fang said just now does make some sense, but Fusu found it difficult to accept it. He had always been on good terms with the people in Chu, and he could feel that they were sincere towards him.
Because of this, he never thought that those old nobles would have the strength and ambition to resist the Qin Dynasty.
After all, when my father swept across Liuhe, the remaining power left behind was enough to intimidate those people!
Moreover, the strength of Da Qin is no longer the same now.
"At the beginning, there were many marriages between Chu and Qin, and the exchanges between the two countries were even closer. Although Chu was later destroyed, there were many people in Xianyang City who were friendly with the nobles of Chu."
"Furthermore... Fusu's mother is from Chu. So, how could they rebel against Qin?"
It's late at night now, and you can see the moon rising outside through the window.
Ran Fang was really sleepy. He yawned and said, "In a word, there are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests."
"What's more, when His Majesty destroyed Chu, weren't the women who came to marry from Chu already in the harem?"
"Your Majesty could do it back then, so what can't the old nobles of Chu do?"
After saying that, he turned over and fell asleep, leaving Fusu alone sitting there, looking at the candles on the table and lost in thought.
…
The people who stayed up late at night were not only Fusu, but also Ying Zheng.
Looking at the bamboo slips brought up, Ying Zheng felt a little hesitant in his heart. Can those rabble be able to fight against the Qin Dynasty?
At the beginning, Chu State was defeated by his own men. Do they have that ability now?
But what Ran Fang said was so conclusive that he had to believe it.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly became angry. He gave enough trust to the nobles of the old country and allowed them to maintain their previous treatment.
I didn’t expect that this is how these people would repay me!
If I had known earlier, I would have killed all these people and left them alone.
Not that now, it actually encourages their rebellious intentions!
After the anger, Ying Zheng held the bamboo slips in his hand and murmured, "Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die..."
He thought of Xiong Qi. He had so much trust in Xiong Qi at the beginning, but ended up stabbing him at the critical moment. In the end, the 200,000 Qin soldiers died miserably.
He still can't figure it out. Although Xiong Qi is from Chu, he grew up in Da Qin and served as an official in Da Qin for more than 20 years. Why would he defect to Chu at the most critical moment?
But Ran Fang's words today made him understand that Chu people are Chu people, and his heart will never surrender to Great Qin at any time!
In this case, what's the use of keeping such people?
It would be better to give a direct order to strangle these old nobles of Chu State in the cradle and never give them the chance to rebel against Qin.
After a sleepless night, Ying Zheng was sitting in Zhangtai Palace and seemed to have just come to his senses when it was already bright.
When Zhao Gao came with his attendants to help Ying Zheng get up, he discovered that Ying Zheng had not slept all night. He stepped forward with some worry, saluted Ying Zheng and then asked: "Your Majesty, is there anything on your mind?"
Looking at Zhao Gao's concerned eyes, Ying Zheng shook his head lightly.
This time Zhao Gao was even more puzzled. He had always understood Ying Zheng's thoughts best and had won Ying Zheng's trust, but now he was unwilling to talk to him.
Zhao Gao felt a little sense of crisis in his heart, feeling that he didn't understand Ying Zheng that well.
But nothing showed on his face, he just stood respectfully beside Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, it's time for breakfast."
Ying Zheng nodded, put the bamboo slips in his hands, and then prepared to eat.
After breakfast, Ying Zheng wiped his hands and ordered Zhao Gao: "Send Li Si, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Wang Wan, Meng Yi and others to enter the palace."
Zhao Gao had some doubts in his heart. Last time he summoned these people into the palace, he finally proposed a method to repair the book.
Why this time?
Could it be that something happened last night that he didn't know about?
The feeling in his heart became stronger. This knowledge meant that His Majesty started to guard against him when he did something. This was not a good sign.
After all the ministers entered the palace, they went straight to Zhangtai Palace.
This time everyone was a little confused. Logically speaking, there was nothing major going on in the court. But when all the important ministers were suddenly called into the palace, could something major happen?
Even Li Si couldn't guess this time. He thought about several possibilities in his mind, but finally shook his head and rejected them.
Looking at the Wang family father and son walking in front of him, he took a few steps quickly, stood side by side with Wang Jian, and asked: "General Wang, do you know why your Majesty is so anxious to summon me to the palace?"
Wang Jian looked back at Li Si and shook his head, "I don't know."
He really didn't know the reason, and he still called his son Wang Ben over. This was not a good sign.
Since he went on tour with His Majesty, Wang Ben rarely went to court. This time he was suddenly summoned, and the whole family was a little confused.
After arriving at Zhangtai Palace, the group knelt down in the middle of the hall and said, "Join Your Majesty."
"Get up."
After they got up, Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers who came today, and said calmly: "I called all the ministers here today to discuss something."
"I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that there was a rebellion in the land of old Chu. God also gave me an instruction, saying, 'Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die.'"
"Gentlemen, what do you think?"
