Not long after, several people came in from the door of the hall, some dressed as sergeants and some as bachelors.
Several people knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and asked several people to stand up and talk.
Lu Buwei said in a deep voice: "This is a court discussion now. What you say must be detailed and accurate. There must be no concealment or false exaggeration. Are you clear?"
"Yes, Prime Minister." Several people replied at the same time.
"Sun Ping, let's start with you." Lu Buwei pointed at a sergeant standing in front and said.
"Yes." The man named Sun Ping was a sergeant. He raised his hands and said, "The villain Sun Ping is the counselor of Chang'an Juncheng's army. Because the villain has no objection in his heart, he snooped into some secrets in the army. Later, he managed to escape and escaped back."
"What secrets did you spy on?" Ying Zheng asked.
"This mutiny was all caused by Fan Yuqi instigating Lord Chang'an." Sun Ping said, "After Fan Yuqi followed Lord Chang'an on the expedition and saw Lord Chang'an had military power, he suggested that Lord Chang'an take over the land and establish himself as king."
"Chang'an Jun refused to comply at first, and the two even argued. But after arriving at Tunliu, Fan Yuqi suddenly took out a letter from Zhao Guo."
"The content of this letter is that Zhao Guo claimed that someone had revealed the secret about the king's life experience. Unexpectedly, Chang'an Lord believed it to be true without careful investigation. Coupled with Fan Yuqi's rhetoric, Chang'an You then vowed to take back the throne to prevent Da Qin from falling into the hands of people with foreign surnames."
"Even a villain can see that this is a strategy used by Fan Yuqi in collusion with the State of Zhao. Unfortunately, Lord Chang'an was deceived by Fan Yuqi and did not see through this strategy. And our loyal men I couldn't find a chance to get close to Lord Chang'an, so I had to leave secretly and return to Xianyang to report the news."
After saying that, Sun Ping and the other two sergeants bowed at the same time.
Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, these are just some discoveries made by the army on the expedition, as well as information obtained by scholars who have returned from various countries."
After saying that, Lu Buwei glanced at the bachelors.
One of them stepped forward, raised his hands and said: "I am in Shen Yi, and I am a guest in Wei State. Now I will inform the king and all your lords of the secrets we obtained in Zhao, Wei and Han Jin."
"Fan Yuqi has always been in correspondence with Zhao and Wei. Zhao and Wei will soon learn about many important events that happened in the Qin State from Fan Yuqi, including the fact that General Meng is seriously ill. , that’s it.”
"When Zhao and Wei learned that General Meng was seriously ill, they wanted to take the opportunity to join forces and attack Qin. However, because of the lessons of the Changping Battle, King Zhao seemed quite cautious, so he sought South Korea's advice."
"After that, at Han Fei's suggestion, the three countries conspired to weaken Qin. On the one hand, they made Qin build canals to consume financial resources; on the other hand, they made Qin and Chu fight to consume military strength. Only when Qin's power declined, Zhao Wei Heng launched an attack in an attempt to destroy Qin in one fell swoop."
"But the Three Jin Dynasties did not expect that the king saw through this plan and sent troops to attack Wei. Fan Yuqi knew that the matter would be exposed sooner or later, so he urged the Lord of Chang'an to ask for a war. The purpose was to leave Xianyang first, and then try to carry out a mutiny, and then join forces with Zhao and Wei. Strength of troops, counterattack."
"At that time, everyone in the Qin Dynasty will support Lord Chang'an as the king because of the king's life experience, and Fan Yuqi will naturally be the prime minister. When Lord Chang'an becomes a puppet, then Zhao, Wei, Han, and Jin will also divide the Qin Kingdom effortlessly. .”
"This is the conspiracy between Fan Yuqi and Zhao Weihan that we found out." After saying that, Shen Yi bowed.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock and they were silent for a long time.
At the last court meeting, Ying Zheng exposed South Korea's plan to weaken Qin. The ministers originally thought that the matter was over, and then sent troops to attack Wei, which would cause Wei to suffer some hardships. However, they never imagined that Zhao and Wei still fought He had a back-up move, and he was even more ruthless and vicious, dragging Ying Zheng's younger brother into the water.
"Fan...yu...qi..." Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
"This kid has such a vicious heart." Ning Gong said angrily.
"Yes, you are cheating on others and collaborating with foreign enemies." Meng Yi scolded.
Suddenly, there was a roar of curses in the hall.
"That's enough!!" Ying Zheng scolded, "What's the use of just scolding."
The scolding stopped, but everyone's eyes widened.
Meng Wu stood up, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please lead the troops to fight against the rebellion, capture Fan Yuqi alive, and return to Xianyang to punish him."
Several generals stepped forward to ask for a fight.
Ying Zheng looked at several generals, and Wang Jian was among them.
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng said loudly: "The Meng family, Wang Jian and his son, and Ying Cheng were the first to bear the brunt of the bloody recognition just now. So this time we send troops, we will choose the commander among these people."
Meng Tian clenched his fists and widened his eyes, knowing that the possibility was unlikely, but still full of expectation.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng said: "But I said yesterday that the Meng family has not passed the period of great mourning and it is not suitable to see blood, so we cannot go to war."
Meng Tian's heart suddenly went cold. Yesterday, because he was searching for Xi Zuo in the city, he did not go to the palace to return to work, so he did not know Ying Zheng's decision.
"Wang Jian obeys the order." Ying Zheng said solemnly.
Wang Jian took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I'm here."
"I have ordered you to serve as the commander-in-chief and recruit 100,000 troops to conquer the rebels. We must capture Cheng Jiao and Fan Yuqi alive," Ying Zheng said.
"I accept the king's order." Wang Jian bowed and accepted the order.
"Ying Cheng, Wang Ben." Ying Zheng said loudly.
"I'm here." Ying Cheng and Wang Ben responded in unison.
"I order you two to be the vanguard of the deputy generals." Ying Zheng said solemnly, "After defeating the Chengjiao rebels, you must guard the border between Zhao Wei and Da Qin to prevent other countries from taking advantage of Da Qin's civil strife."
"I obey the king's order." Ying Cheng and Wang Ben responded with cupped hands.
"Meng Tian." Ying Zheng shouted again.
Meng Tian didn't expect that Ying Zheng would still read his name. He was stunned for a moment before responding: "I'm here."
"Although I said that the Meng family will not be sent to the battlefield, there will still be a big battle to fight in Xianyang City." Ying Zheng said.
"Xianyang City?" Meng Tian asked doubtfully.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Although some people who spread rumors were captured yesterday, there must be others who have slipped through the net, and we must do our best to arrest them. Moreover, the people do not know the truth, and there must be many people making irresponsible remarks. Therefore, we must distinguish between those who are gossips and those who are gossips, so as not to wrongly accuse good people. Then, inform the people of the world about the blood recognition of relatives."
Meng Tian cupped his hands and said, "I accept the king's order."
Ying Zheng turned to look at Ning Gong: "Ning Gong, if Chengjiao is captured alive by General Wang Jian, what do you think should be done?"
Ning Gong originally wanted to plead for Cheng Jiao, but treason and collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime. Anyone who pleads for mercy will be suspected of being an accomplice.
Ning Gong looked at Old Shang, stood up and said: "From a public point of view, no matter how the king deals with him, it is not too much. But from a private point of view, Cheng Jiao is the king's only younger brother after all. If the king can be more generous, Sparing his life will also show that the king is broad-minded. Let the king carefully consider how to make a decision."
Old Shang also stood up, raised his hands and said: "As for how to deal with Cheng Jiao, I suggest that the king seek the opinion of the Queen Mother. In fact, what the old minister cares more about is how to deal with the 80,000 soldiers who were forced to rebel. "
Ginger is really spicy.
One spoke ambiguously, while the other kicked the ball to the Queen Mother and successfully changed the subject.
Ying Zheng didn't worry too much about how to deal with Cheng Jiao. After all, he hadn't been brought back yet, and when the two armies rushed to kill him, he might die in the chaos.
"These 80,000 soldiers are indeed a helpless move. I don't think anyone wants their wives, children, and children to be implicated." Ying Zheng said.
Lord Changping stood up, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the troops led by Cheng Jiao are not united. If we use a trick, we can defeat them without attacking and save the soldiers who are loyal to the Qin Dynasty."
"What's the plan?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Yesterday Wei Chen told the king that some of Cheng Jiao's troops are Wei Chen's old troops." Lord Changping said, "I ordered someone to pass some news to these old troops, saying that those who follow Cheng Jiao are traitors. Not only will he be killed at once, he will also be implicated in the three clans; those who are unwilling to follow Cheng Jiao and rebel against Qin will be exempted from the crime and will never be blamed. If you want to return to Qin, tie a red ribbon on your left arm, and the army will march During the hanging, those who were tied with red ribbons would be brought back to Qin. Those who were not tied up would be killed and refused to surrender. I believe that once the news spreads, there will be no one around Cheng Jiao to use."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "What a good plan. Then let Lord Lao Changping go out with the army."
Lord Changping cupped his hands and said, "I accept the king's order."
"Lu Xiangbang." Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and said.
"I'm here," Lu Buwei said, cupping his hands.
The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a hint of a smile: "Assemble one hundred thousand soldiers and prepare enough food and grass. It will be no problem."
"The Qin soldiers have enough food, so there will be no problem." Lu Buwei said.
"Okay, then Prime Minister Lu will order troops and provide food." Ying Zheng said, "However, I still have one more thing to discuss."
Everyone's eyes focused on Ying Zheng again.
"The generals will lead the troops to conquer the rebels. After returning from victory, I will give you a reward." Ying Zheng said, "But there is one person whose merits are greater than those of the generals, and he cannot lead the troops to take the credit. So now I will reward him. he."
"Who is this person that the king is talking about...?" Lu Buwei asked in confusion.
Ying Zheng gently pointed his finger in the direction of Li Si and said: "Of course it is Li Si who provided the method of blood recognition. Without Li Si, my bloodline cannot be proved, and then the Great Qin Dynasty will most likely be affected by the people's voice." If there is chaos due to civil war, then Fan Yuqi's plan will really fall into place."
The ministers nodded repeatedly. In this way, Li Si's contribution is indeed not small.
"Li Si has extraordinary insight. The last strategy of offering canals to South Korea was really Li Si's reminder. Only I can see through the chain plan of the three countries." Ying Zheng said, "So, if I want to reward Li Si, do you have the courage to do so?" objection?"
This was a trick that Ying Zheng used well. The last time he awarded Meng Ao the title, he also asked everyone's opinions before announcing the reward. This not only made the ministers feel valued, but also did not appear to be a dictatorship.
Lu Buwei took a step forward and said: "Li Si's contribution is not trivial. The old minister suggested that Li Si be appointed as an official in the court to help Qin rejuvenate the country."
"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Just follow what Lu Xiangbang said."
Seeing Lu Buwei speak, all the ministers echoed.
"Li Si received the seal." Ying Zheng raised his voice a little higher.
Li Si took a step forward, knelt down and said, "Li Si is here."
"Since you can easily solve difficult problems such as blood recognition," Ying Zheng said, "then I will appoint you as a Tingwei, ranked as the ninth minister, to arbitrate the mysterious and unsolved cases of the Qin Dynasty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the important use." Li Si thanked him.
Many envious eyes were cast on Li Si. Knowing that for the position of Tingwei, the only direct leader was Lu Buwei.
One step at a time, one step to reach the sky.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said, "Zhao Gao, I will prepare an edict immediately regarding sending troops to fight against rebellion. I will also prepare pen and ink for you, and I will personally edit a letter for Cheng Jiao."
After the pen and ink were prepared, Ying Zheng and Zhao Gao started writing at the same time.
