After Ying Zheng finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in Zhangtai Palace.
After all, this thing sounds a bit unbelievable to anyone.
Since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, there have been no rebellions anywhere, but they are just small troubles and not considered a threat at all.
Over the years, the ministers seemed to have become accustomed to it and did not take those threats seriously.
However, such an inconspicuous piece of land could actually give Ying Zheng a warning from heaven!
Suddenly, these ministers all fell to their knees.
"I am guilty."
Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground, the expression on Ying Zheng's face did not change. He just asked lightly: "How do you think this matter should be resolved?"
As the censor, Wang Wan has the responsibility of supervising all officials. If there is news of rebellion in Chu, he should know it immediately. He has not received any news.
However, since His Majesty proposed it and obviously believed it, it was hard for him to say anything.
After all, no one can say for sure about this kind of thing, especially this kind of matter related to the country of Qin, it is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is not.
Therefore, Wang Wan was the first to speak out, kneeling on the ground to examine himself and said: "I am guilty. Chu Di has a rebellious intention, but I was not aware of it. It is my dereliction of duty. Please punish me."
Ying Zheng didn't look at him. If Ran Fang hadn't said this, even he wouldn't have thought of it.
Especially Ran Fang's words, "Although Chu has three households, Chu will surely die if Qin is destroyed." If anyone else had said this, they would probably be dead at this moment.
It was precisely because Ran Fang analyzed so clearly that he summoned these ministers to find a solution to this matter.
"I forgive you, please get up."
The kneeling people looked at each other and then got up from the ground tremblingly.
Especially Wang Jian, who is so old. If His Majesty hadn't invited him to the palace several times, he would have been unwilling to get involved in the important affairs of the court.
However, this was related to the safety of the Qin Dynasty, so he had to enter the palace.
Thinking of this, Wang Jian took a step forward, bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, it is better to send troops to Chu directly to frighten the world."
What Wang Jian meant was not to talk about the military issue first, but to investigate the matter clearly first. If Nachu Di really had a rebellious intention, it wouldn't be too late to kill him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jian's son Wang Bi stood up, bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that since Chu Di has the intention to rebel in the future, I should kill them all at this moment. In the cradle.”
"I am willing to personally lead the troops there to strangle all those rebellious officials and traitors in Chu!"
Wang Ben has been with Ying Zheng for many years and obeys Ying Zheng's words 100%. Even if Ying Zheng didn't say that he had received a warning from heaven, as long as Ying Zheng said a word, he could lead his troops to conquer the old Chu land.
What's more, even if the old nobles' ambitions don't exist now, they can't be sure they won't exist in the future.
In this case, wouldn't it be easier to deal with them all?
After saying that, he stood there respectfully, waiting for Ying Zheng's order.
After listening to Wang Ben's words, the ministers headed by Li Si also stepped forward and echoed: "I second my opinion."
Ying Zheng looked at the officials in the audience and frowned slightly. He found that the ideas of these ministers coincided with his own, but he wanted to get more different ideas.
The last time the book was revised, it was also proposed by the minister of the DPRK to collect all the books in the world and burn them. However, Ran Fang came up with a better suggestion.
And what about these ministers?
No useful advice at all.
Ying Zheng, who originally wanted to send troops immediately, hesitated at this moment.
He thought, if Ran Fang were here, would he have other ideas?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "Is there any other way?"
As soon as this was said, the ministers standing in the middle of the hall looked at each other, with their heads lowered, and no one spoke.
Ying Zheng was a little disappointed. As he thought, the officials in the court were all pedantic, and no one could compare with Ran Fang.
At this moment, the ministers lowered their heads and said nothing. Only Zhao Gao, who was standing next to Ying Zheng, was a little surprised. His Majesty's attitude towards the ministers now is very interesting.
Especially in the past few days, every time after receiving the bamboo slips from Xianyang Prison, I would always shake my head and sigh at the memorials from the ministers, especially today.
It seems that the influence of Fusu and Ran Fang from Xianyang Prison on His Majesty is too great.
However, in his opinion, the Chudi matter should have been brought up by Xianyang Prison, but he did not know what was written on the bamboo slips, and His Majesty never sent a message through him.
This realization made Zhao Gao feel a little panicked. Could it be that His Majesty was becoming wary of him?
However, I haven't done anything during this time.
Li Si didn't know what Ying Zheng was thinking, but from the position of prime minister, he had the same idea as Wang Wan. Regardless of whether the incident in Chu Di was true or false, since there was this warning, he had to sit idly by and ignore it.
If it is allowed to develop, incomplete protection will become a major hidden danger for Da Qin.
So he bowed forward, looked at Ying Zheng very respectfully, and admonished: "Your Majesty, I think General Wang's words are reasonable."
"The strength of the old nobles of the Chu region should not be underestimated. When His Majesty swept across Liuhe, it only took him four years to conquer the Chu region. It can be said that he devoted the entire country's efforts."
"Now that God has given His Majesty a warning, we should seize this opportunity and kill all the old nobles of Chu before they have fully fledged. Then there won't be so many things."
"What's more, those people in Chu have never sincerely submitted to Your Majesty. Over the years, they have often raised troops to rebel. Therefore, even if they are killed, they will not cause any loss to our Great Qin."
"Returning peace to the land of Chu is also a good thing for Da Qin."
I saw that Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to express his position. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Wang Ben.
"Wang Ben, I order you to secretly lead troops to the land of Old Chu to investigate the rebellion of the nobles of Old Chu. If they really have the intention to rebel, it will not be too late to send troops."
"Remember not to act rashly. It is best not to use force to suppress it and give the people of Chu a chance."
Since returning from the tour with His Majesty, Wang Ben has basically had no chance to send troops. This opportunity finally came to him, and he must seize it.
Unexpectedly, just as his blood was boiling, His Majesty's words extinguished his ideals.
"Here!"
But Li Si was shocked when he heard Ying Zheng's decree.
His Majesty, who has always been decisive in killing, actually came with such a decree this time!
The changes have to make people think deeply!
Could it be related to Ran Fang in prison?
"Just step back if you have nothing to do."
"Wang Ben stays."
All the ministers stood up and bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng before retreating and leaving Zhangtai Palace.
Wang Ben knelt on the ground, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know what else His Majesty had to give.
When everyone left, he heard Ying Zheng's voice above his head: "The matter in Chu Di is of great importance. There must be no mistakes."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng's voice paused, "Fusu has a close relationship with the people from Chu. Before sending troops, you can go to Xianyang Prison and have a detailed talk with Fusu to see what his attitude is towards this matter. ?”
Unexpectedly, he was asked to go to Xianyang Prison. Wang Ben was shocked. Could it be that His Majesty wanted to drive a wedge between Young Master Fusu and Chu Di?
