Ying San came to visit Lin's house. Because it was still early and Lin Feng was still doing morning exercises, Ying San was taken to the backyard school field.
Ying San stood outside the school grounds, looking at Lin Feng practicing martial arts in a daze.
Lin Feng in the field was practicing Tai Chi. The boxing technique is soft, but there is strength in the softness. It is reserved but not exposed, and it is induced but not released. It makes people feel like they are suddenly going to be sweating. But when Ying San looks at it, it seems that there is no danger.
It's just like this, it's shocking to win three times.
Every move of Lin Feng's boxing technique is close to the Tao, with yin and yang complementing each other, hardness and softness coexisting. This situation is completely out of the realm of a master, giving Yingsan the feeling of being a great master.
Ying San has relied on Li Cihang in Xianyang these years, and because Wang Shun broke through to the Grand Master, with the guidance of two people, Ying San also made a breakthrough at the peak of the Grand Master. His strength, after all the improvements, is still quite difficult to break through to the half-step Grand Master level.
Lin Feng gave people the impression that he was already a great master.
Ying San watched Lin Feng grow up.
In the past, when Lin Feng first arrived in Xianyang, he still needed the protection of people from Heibingtai, not even a grandmaster. In just a few years, Lin Feng went from an ordinary person to a grandmaster, and was about to become a grandmaster. Even Winning Three couldn't help but sigh.
Ying San watched quietly. After a long while, Lin Feng finished his morning practice. When he closed his fist, he let out a breath.
The white air is as sharp as a piece of steel, like a sharp sword.
Ying Sangeng's scalp was numb and his breath was like a sword. This is the power only a great master has.
Ying San went up to him and said, "My lord, could it be that you are already a great master?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Not yet a great master, still a little worse."
hiss!
Ying San took a breath.
Lin Feng is not a grand master yet, but he already has the strength of a grand master. He had received news before that Lin Feng fought against the Eighteen Bronze Men of Dalin Temple in the army and won. Even in a fight with Abbot Zhishan of Dalin Temple, he did not lose.
Now, Lin Feng's strength feels like it has gone further.
So monstrous.
After an average person reaches a master level, it will take several years of hard work to achieve even the slightest breakthrough. To go from a breakthrough to a grandmaster requires not only gradual grinding bit by bit, but also enough opportunities. When Lin Feng reached the Grandmaster realm, he continued to move forward as fast as possible.
Comparing people to each other makes people angry.
Ying San said with emotion: "The Duke's talent in martial arts is, in my opinion, unparalleled in the world."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Brother Ying, it's just a coincidence. Did you come to me early this morning for something?"
Ying San said directly: "It's about the hidden stakes in Jin State."
"Let's go to the study to talk in detail."
Lin Feng nodded and took Ying San directly to the study. The two of them sat down in the study, and Lin Feng said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Ying San said: "According to Ling Fugui's report, we originally planned to arrest only Kang Tingshan, but Kang Tingshan and Qiu Gui got involved, and even more intended to disrupt the imperial examination, and also to deal with the poor scholars and incite the opposition between the poor scholars and the nobles. to cause conflict.”
"In addition, I have to deal with the Jin scholars who came to Qin to take the imperial examination. In desperation, I had no choice but to arrest them all and put the Jin State's hidden troubles in one pot. After I reported this matter to His Majesty, Your Majesty said that the Duke has full authority I am in charge of the imperial examination, so let me discuss with the Duke how to deal with it, and ask the Duke to make an announcement."
Lin Feng also thought carefully.
These hidden thorns in the Jin State cannot be restrained, are they going to take action?
The imperial examination obviously had a great impact.
It can be said to be a killer weapon.
Once the Qin State implements the imperial examination and its talent advantage expands, Jin and Qi will be at a disadvantage in the future. The transfer of talents will slowly be reflected in national strength.
Lin Feng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "The strategies adopted by Jin and Qi are to open recruitment halls and then ban scholars from all over the world. Even so, many scholars came to Qin. This time The imperial examination must proceed steadily without any glitches."
Ying Sandao: "I also believe that the imperial examination must be implemented. What the enemy opposes is exactly what we want to do. Because if we do a good job, the enemy will get angry. This is the case with the imperial examination this time."
Lin Fengdao: "As the saying goes, hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. If you want to use the secret stakes of Qi and Jin under your control to get further information, then leaving these people behind will leave hidden dangers. I think it's okay. If you are too hesitant, take action when it's time to take action. First, plow the court and clear out the holes, completely take down all the hidden stakes in various countries, and clear up the situation in Xianyang."
"I agree!"
A glimmer of light flashed across Ying San's eyes.
His eyes were full of joy.
That's it.
He has actually wanted to do this all along, but he has been dragging his feet in making up his mind.
Lin Feng's eyes were sharp and he continued: "Brother Ying, you take down everyone first. After taking down all these people, the next step is for me to use these arrested people to hold a public trial outside the city and announce the matter in public. "
"Taking this opportunity to win over the scholars of Qi and Jin and letting them serve Qin will also cut off their thoughts about their homeland. Public opinion at this time is very important and must be in our hands."
"Okay, I'll arrest them first."
Ying San nodded in reply.
Almost all hidden stakes in Jin State were captured, but many hidden stakes in Qi State were still there.
These people must be dealt with.
Ying bowed three times and saluted, and left in a hurry.
Lin Feng stayed in the study and continued to think about how to deal with the hidden piles. What he is currently thinking about is a public trial, and he also has many ideas.
While Lin Feng was waiting, Ying San acted quickly. In just half a day, he captured the Qi State's secret agents. Then he followed the clues and arrested a group of Qi State's informants. Most of the Qi State's informants in Xianyang were captured. Remove them all.
After all this was done, Ying San came to the Duke's Mansion. He saw Lin Feng and reported: "Guo Gong, everyone has been arrested. Now there are six people arrested in the Jin State and eight people in the Qi State. , after our interrogation, we found that both Jin and Qi were conspiring to subvert the imperial examination and try to disrupt this matter."
"Even the people of Qi State want to kill these people who serve Qi State. In fact, Zhu Erdan, a scholar of Qi State, has already died. In short, this action is really not wrong. It's a good thing that we took action earlier, otherwise If we continue to delay, the consequences will be disastrous.”
Lin Feng nodded and said: "We have arrested all of them. Now you put up a notice and still carry out the execution outside Nancheng. I will publicly dispose of the hidden stakes of Jin and Qi outside Nancheng tomorrow morning and kill all these people."
"On the one hand, it is to win over people's hearts. On the other hand, it is also to further lure people to see if there are other fish from Jin and Qi that have slipped through the net and will come to rescue them. If they come, they will be caught in one fell swoop. Destroy the opponent."
"I'll make arrangements right away."
Ying San hurried out again.
The people at Heibingtai spread the news very quickly. In a short period of time, they had already completed the dissemination of the news. Jin State and Qi State's hidden stakes were arrested, and the spies of the two countries would be dealt with outside Nancheng at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. Many people got the news, and countless people were talking about it.
This news reached Prince Ping's Mansion.
Yinghong was unwilling to be lonely, and thought that this matter might be used to some advantage, so he called his staff Zou Man and said: "Mr. Zou, there are rumors everywhere in the city that Lin Feng wants to kill Qi and Jin. This is What do you think about this matter?"
Zou Man raised his eyebrows, very surprised.
Yinghong had made a decision before, not to cause trouble, not to provoke Lin Feng, not to cause trouble in the imperial examination.
Is this a change of mind?
Zou Man said: "Your Highness, the imperial examination is the national policy of the State of Qin. It's not like you don't know how much your Majesty attaches great importance to Lin Feng. In the entire Qin State, have you seen any businessman doing business who received a letter from His Majesty? Lin Feng's Grace is unrivaled.”
Yinghong flicked his sleeves and said: "Who said that this king is going to cause trouble in the imperial examination."
Zou Man said: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Yinghong rolled his eyes and said: "My king's idea is very simple. Lin Feng wants to kill the backbone of Jin and Qi. In the past, there would have been no problem. Now is the critical time for the imperial examination. The Qi State is an ally of the Qin State, and an overt handling of it may cause turmoil. In short, causing trouble for Lin Feng will prevent him from arranging this matter."
Zou Man thought about it and realized that he actually didn't want Yinghong to do it because he had also signed up for the imperial examination.
He will also participate in the follow-up.
It's just that he hasn't reported it to Yinghong yet, and he doesn't intend to report it.
Zou Man said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is completely partial to Lin Feng. You should think twice."
"Think twice about what?"
Yinghong's eyes were sharp and he said: "I just can't bear to see Lin Feng, an outsider, calling the shots in our country of Qin. Qin is the world of my winner, Qin is also the world of the old Qin people, and Qin is also the world of the nobles of the old Qin. When did it become a place for him, Lin Feng, to show off his teeth and claws?"
Zou Man said: "Your Highness alone is still not influential enough."
Ying Hong said: "I plan to go find Lu Yi. He lost all face because of his opposition to Lin Feng in the past, and even lost his position as Zongzheng. Lu Yi's heart is full of hatred for Lin Feng. This time , we both join forces.”
"My point of view is very simple. Lin Feng's big fanfare to kill the spies of the two countries is out of necessity. Our starting point is also to safeguard the imperial examination and the Qin State. I don't believe it. What can Lin Feng do to us?"
When Zou Man heard this, he knew he couldn't stop it.
If he continues to block it, he may make Yinghong unhappy. Zou Man said: "Your Highness, we have to discuss the matter with Prince Consort Lu. Let's see what he says."
Yinghong said: "You go and prepare the carriage, and we will go to the Prince Consort's Mansion."
"Here!"
Zou Man immediately went to make arrangements.
Yinghong changed his clothes and left the house in a carriage. When he came to Lu Yi's house and saw Lu Yi, he didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Brother Lu, Lin Feng bullies you like this, are you willing to be humiliated?"
Lu Yi lost his power and looked very old. When you have power in your hands, you are full of energy and energy, but now that you are alone, your energy and energy are much lower. As soon as he heard Ying Hong's words, Lu Yi's eyes burst out with a light of hatred.
Lu Yi said: "Yinghong, weren't you also humiliated by Lin Feng? What, you have an idea?"
"certainly!"
Yinghong nodded and said, "I do have some ideas now."
Lu Yi said: "Tell me and listen."
Yinghong said directly: "Nowadays, the imperial examination is the general trend, and this is where His Majesty's opposition lies. Everyone knows that it is impossible to make changes. For the time being, we will not target the imperial examination, but Lin Feng. This time, Heibingtai arrested a large number of Jin The secret stakes of the State and Qi State are all prepared to be executed tomorrow.”
Yinghong paused for a moment and said: "Let's just oppose Lin Feng so that Lin Feng can't implement it. As long as he opposes it a few more times, let's see how Lin Feng can gain a foothold."
Lu Yi thought for a while and said: "How to object? There is no sufficient reason to object. It is natural for the Qin State to kill spies."
Ying Hong said: "The truth is like this, but the Qin State formed an alliance with the Qi State and the Jin State, and openly executed spies, which could easily cause conflicts. If it were normal, that would be fine, just kill them if they should. At present, the imperial examination is a major event, which causes conflicts. , it is easy to lead Jin and Qi to unite, which is detrimental to Qin."
"So, we extended our opposition from this aspect. As long as we stand firm and Lin Feng cannot kill, he will suffer his first defeat. From now on, we can naturally target Lin Feng step by step."
Lu Yi leaned forward slightly and said, "Brother Prince Ping, aren't you afraid of being disgusted by His Majesty?"
Ying Hong said: "I have been disgusted by His Majesty for a long time, so what are we afraid of? What's more, even if His Majesty is disgusted, what can we do? Anyway, it's already like this, let's just go all out and give Lin Feng a hammer first. As long as we win, the rest will be taken care of. When the aristocratic families see it, they will naturally come to support one after another. This is our only chance at the moment."
Lu Yi was also thinking in his heart.
Now that he has lost his power, he used to be very prestigious within the royal family.
Nowadays, there are no visitors to his house.
Lu Yi was very unwilling to do this.
Lu Yi gritted his teeth and said: "We are willing to risk everything. I want to see. This time we insist that the imperial examination cannot be affected because Lin Feng kills people. How can Lin Feng answer? This time, we will definitely win."
Yinghong said: "Since Brother Lu supports us, things will be easy to handle. Let's go to the palace together."
Lu Yi said: "Why don't you invite more people?"
"No, no need."
Yinghong said firmly: "Brother Lu, please listen to me. If there are too many of us, His Majesty will think that we are deliberately targeting Lin Feng, not to mention that having too many people will not help. There are few of us. As long as we are determined, everything will be simple. "
"Okay, let's go right away."
Lu Yi immediately agreed.
The two of them left the Prince Consort's Mansion together and went to the palace.
One of the two is a consort, and he can be regarded as Ying Jiuxiao's brother-in-law. The other is a prince of the royal family, and he is also the same generation as Ying Jiuxiao. The two of them entered the palace to meet, and arrived in the main hall smoothly. They both saluted Ying Jiuxiao.
Ying Jiuxiao has no good impressions of Lu Yi and Ying Hong. Neither of them is on his side and neither of them considers Qin.
The two of them only considered their own interests.
This is not someone who has the same heart as the emperor.
Ying Jiuxiao said in a deep voice: "You two entered the palace together, but what happened?"
