If there is no alliance between the countries, maybe Ying Zheng will temporarily let Lai Ai and others go, but the alliance is imminent, and if Lai Ai creates trouble behind his back, that will be the greatest harm to Qin.
Not to mention Zhao Ji.
She now only wants to let Ying Zheng take charge of the government, and kill this traitor who gave her a dark history of humiliation that she cannot remember.
As if he had read Zhao Ji's thoughts, after reminding Zhang Ji the difference between Zhao Ji's adoption of an adopted son and Ying Zichu's adoption of an adopted son, Li Si, who was supposed to return to Ying Zheng's side, did not return to Ying Zheng for some reason. He took out a bamboo slip from his pocket and bowed to Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji.
"Reporting to Your Majesty the King and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother previously mentioned that we should track down all those who recommended, recommended, and approved Ling Qi during his promotion. I remembered that Ling Qi seemed to be a disciple of Changxin Hou Lao Ai. I, Li Si, would like to ask Your Majesty the King and the Queen Mother to issue an edict. Lieutenant Ting investigates thoroughly."
Zhang Ji frowned slightly and looked at Ying Zheng, thinking that Ying Zheng had arranged for Li Si to fight Lao Ai to death. However, he saw Ying Zheng shaking his head. It was obvious that he had not arranged this.
In other words, Li Si acted without authorization.
Immediately, Zhang Ji looked at Li Si with a playful look.
Li Si's political sense is very sensitive, he knows when to do something, and he dares to think and do it.
Just like what Li Si did, if Li Si had not stood up to impeach Lao Ai just now, he would have continued to impeach Lao Ai as the leader of Luo Sheng. Over the years, Lao Ai has been accused of countless crimes, and they are often blatant violations of Qin's laws. The evidence is conclusive, and it does not require any investigation to clearly collect the crimes of him and his followers.
But since Li Si wants to take the lead, he won't stop him.
Li Si was more ambitious than him. Ying Zheng repeatedly compared Zhang Yi with Zhang Ji, saying that Zhang Ji was like his Zhang Yi. But in private, Ying Zheng once commented on Li Si with him.
After a brief examination of Li Si's talents, Ying Zheng knew that he was indeed a talented minister who was no less talented than Han Fei, and might even achieve more dazzling achievements than Han Fei in this era.
But Ying Zheng once said that if Li Si was to be compared to someone, then Li Si should be like Fan Ju, the prime minister during the reign of King Zhaoxiang.
Such an evaluation cannot be said to be low.
Fan Ju's contribution to the Qin State was not only to help King Zhaoxiang regain power and drive out the Four Nobles, but also to change the diplomatic policy of the Qin State. The short four words "diplomacy far away and attack near" have been passed down through the ages, and the Qin State is still there today. Use this diplomatic approach.
This achievement alone is enough to put Fan Ju at the forefront among the prime ministers of the Qin Dynasty, not to mention a series of achievements such as the great control of Bashu, the separation of Changping, and the collapse of the alliance.
However, although Fan Ju is a capable minister, he is not a wise man.
Fan Ju was too selfish, and his behavior... was really unrefined. He was more like a dog of King Zhaoxiang than a minister of King Zhaoxiang.
Dogs are very popular animals. They are brave and smart, but most importantly, they are loyal.
People will betray and be petty, but dogs will not. A dog will put all its emotions on its face and the movements of its tail. As long as it is fed with bones and meat, it will be satisfied. Sometimes it is better than It's easy to use.
It is true that Fan Ju is a villain, but he can perfectly cooperate with King Zhaoxiang's actions. His purpose can be judged from King Zhaoxiang's words. Even if he wants to capture Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, he will not hesitate to make suggestions.
But never expect such ministers to come and make suggestions. They will only unconditionally agree and cooperate with any request of the king. If the king is a fool, they will provide him with dance music and beauties according to the method of serving the king, and propose more absurdities. However, when meeting a wise king like King Zhaoxiang, he will do his best to do things for King Zhaoxiang.
However, Ying Zheng is confident that he can control a villain like Li Si.
Following Li Si's accusation, Lao Ai's expression changed, her closed eyes widened, and she looked at Li Si with murderous intent.
"Bastard, who do you think you are and how dare you bark here?"
If it weren't for the fact that the Qin Palace in his hand did not allow him to carry the sword, Lao Ai would have really wanted to kill Li Si with one sword.
Although he holds the trump card, he doesn't want to do it until the critical moment. After all, even if he succeeds, the power in his hand will suffer heavy losses.
But Li Si's impeachment pointed the finger at him, like a hound that smelled the smell of blood and meat, obeying its master's thoughts and pounced on him.
Lao Ai's brows trembled slightly, breathing heavily, and stared at Li Si with her wide eyes, as if she wanted to tear him into pieces.
However, Lao Ai should not compare Li Si to a dog.
The doctors around Ying Zheng now should be the most luxurious group of doctors in history.
In addition to Li Si, Meng Ao's second son Meng Jia, Meng Ao's grandson Mengyi, Empress Dowager Huayang's nephews Mi Qi and Mi Dian, Feng Jie and Feng Quji of the Shangdang Feng family who were recommended by Wang Yan...
All the officials are either the descendants of the families of officials who have been officials in the Qin State in the past, or they are the descendants of the generals of the Qin State, or they are the future heirs of various factions, or they are the scholars from the six countries who came to Qin.
These people have different identities, but they are all talents or queens of famous families.
Whether they are talented people or they are from famous families, they all have one thing in common, and that is arrogance.
Therefore, Mi Qi, who originally just wanted to silently watch how Ying Zheng took charge of the government, narrowed his eyes and looked at Lao Ai with an increasingly evil look: "I also want to impeach Marquis Chang Xin. I often see you in Xianyang on weekdays. Lao Ai violated the etiquette and used the vehicles and horses that the Queen Mother was qualified to use, and made the concubines around her wear gorgeous clothes that the Queen Mother was qualified to use."
Ying Zheng did not use the Chu faction as a confidant because of the favor of Queen Mother Huayang. Otherwise, how should those factions who had surrendered to Ying Zheng long ago treat Ying Zheng?
Moreover, whether the Chu system can be used still needs to be tested.
Therefore, Ying Zheng did not inform brothers Mi Qi and Mi Dian of tonight's plan, and not even the Queen Mother Huayang knew about it.
Mi Qi and Mi Dian did not take the initiative to participate in this kind of political struggle, not only because of Ying Zheng's attitude towards the Chu clan, but also because Mi Qi and Mi Dian wanted to keep a low profile.
All the countries united, and among them was the State of Chu.
They should not be too high-profile at this time, otherwise it is inevitable that someone will make things difficult for Chu Xie.
However, although Mi Qi was left in the Qin State by King Kaolie of Chu and was never brought back to the Chu State, after all, he still had the blood of the nobles of the Chu Kingdom's royal family and was the biological son of the current Chu King Wan.
Chu people are inherently noble, so when Lao Ai said that Li Si was a barking dog, Mi Qi couldn't help it.
Li Si is a Lang Guan, and Li Si is a dog. What about them, who are also Lang Guan?
After Mi Qi, all the officials around them looked at Lao Ai with somewhat unkind expressions.
"I also want to impeach Marquis Changxin. I once went hunting with my friends in the outskirts of Xianyang, and found out that Marquis Changxin restricted hunting according to the Queen Mother's standards and lived in a famous garden that can only be used by the king and the queen mother when they go hunting in the outskirts of Xianyang."
Meng Jia, the current chief minister around Ying Zheng, also stepped forward without hesitation. He already had some conflicts with Lao Ai.
He once led a group of general disciples on a hunting trip in the suburbs of Xianyang. Lao Ai actually surrounded a huge piece of land and hunted according to the Queen Mother's standards, leaving them no place to hunt. He also made rude remarks to Mengshi. Let the general disciples retreat.
At first, Meng Jia, who knew how to advance and retreat, did not have an attack, but kept it in his heart. Now that he had the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, he would naturally not let it go.
Following the two of them, brothers Feng Jie and Feng Quji also stood up and joined in: "Before I entered the palace as a Langguan, I lived in the north for a long time. I once heard that Lao Ai privately renamed Taiyuan County in the land of Hexi to 'Ai State'. '"
If the impeachment of Mi Qi and Meng Jia was just for participating in Lao Ai's violation of the system, then the impeachment of brothers Feng Jie and Feng Quji was a blunt statement that Lao Ai had the intention of treason.
He secretly made himself the lord of the country in the Qin Dynasty and called Taiyuan County "Guo Guo". Isn't this treason?
