Ying Zheng talked with Wang Heng for half an hour and then sent him away.
During this half hour, Ying Zheng listened to some of Wang Heng's ideas. He recognized this person's talent, but because of Wang Heng's background, Ying Zheng was a little wary of him.
Therefore, until Wang Heng left, Ying Zheng did not allow him to lead troops to attack the Huns.
Ying Zheng did not make any promises to Wang Heng, but the fact that he summoned Wang Heng made many people excited.
Emperor, why did you summon Wang Heng? Is there really any plan to replace Li Xin? After all, the Wang family has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. Does Your Majesty want to re-activate the Wang family?
These statements began to spread quietly among the courtiers.
Wang Jian, on the other hand, showed off his old face and kept visiting some of his old friends, hoping that they could help Wang Heng.
In Wang Jian's view, this is one of the few opportunities for the Wang family. If he could replace Li Xin and conquer the Xiongnu, he would be able to achieve great success, and the Wang family would be able to prosper again.
If it fails again this time, Wang will have no choice but to cooperate with Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang, that is a poisonous snake. If you are not careful, you will get backlash.
So Wang Jian wanted to fight for it before cooperating with Xiang Liang.
Wang Jian and Wang Heng's efforts finally had some effect. Wang's friends and several courtiers who were still secretly loyal to Wang were all trying their best to wave the flag and shout. It seems that after Li Xin and Li Shui left, Wang Heng became the pillar of the country that everyone in the court expected.
Ji Ming, who was being pressed for debt by Shangjun Courtyard, became more excited after hearing the news: Mr. Wang, are you going to get up again? Should I seek refuge?
Ji Ming had contacted Wang Li before, so he was considered an old friend of the Wang family. With such a relationship, if you seek refuge, you won't be rejected.
But at the same time, Ji Ming feels a little inferior because he can be a hindrance to others. What if the Wang family is knocked down?
But soon he began to comfort himself. Didn't he already have the transit stone? Wearing this stone, you can transport yourself and the people around you will not be harmed.
Thinking of this, Ji Ming found an excuse to leave the palace and wanted to see Wang.
On the way, he met the Huns staying in Xianyang City.
This Huns is wearing clothes from the Central Plains and has shaved off his beard. He doesn't look so different anymore. But he was still cautious and wore a straw hat, covering most of his face.
When the Huns saw Ji Ming, they seemed to see a relative. They grabbed him and asked in a tearful voice: "Master Ji, has something happened to my Huns? There has been no news for such a long time."
Ji Ming was a little impatient: "You don't even know if something happened to the Huns? Why do you ask me?"
The Huns said with a sad face: "I can't get any news anymore. Lord Ji is a member of the palace after all. He is well-informed and may know something."
Ji Ming thought for a while and said: "It is said that the Shan Yu Royal Court has been surrounded. But you don't have to worry. There are more than a dozen tribes there with a radius of a hundred miles. There are many people and horses, and Li Xin has no ability to capture it. So he It’s about siege but not attack.”
The Huns immediately breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "I, an athlete of the Huns, have always been brave. Given time, I will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory."
Ji Ming felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He was from Qin, and this Huns was saying that the Huns would win. What did he mean?
However, considering that he and the Xiongnu were half allies after all, Ji Ming held back and said nothing. In fact, he was praying secretly in his heart, hoping that the Huns could win.
The Xiongnu were victorious and Huaiguzi died. This was the best outcome. He no longer had to pay his debts and could avenge himself.
The Huns had a small victory and broke through Li Xin's siege, which was not bad. At least gold, silver and jewelry can be sent to Xianyang.
Ji Ming sighed and thought: "I don't know what happened to those Hun assassins. After so many days, have they succeeded..."
After Ji Ming was melancholy for a while, he soon became happy again. What future would there be in forming an alliance with the Huns? Now I have to form an alliance with the Wang family, so that I can take a step forward in my life.
Half an hour later, Ji Ming appeared in Wang's mansion.
Wang Heng didn't care much about Ji Ming's arrival because he had heard some rumors that Ji Ming was a bit stupid. Incompetent bungler. And His Majesty doesn't like him either and beats him every day.
So, he asked Ji Ming to wait in the courtyard and hung him up to dry.
It wasn't until the red sun turned to the west and Ji Ming's mouth went dry that Wang Heng slowly came out.
Ji Ming was a little annoyed, but he held himself back from getting angry. A little impatience would mess up his big plans. Ji Ming has experienced too many things in the past few months, and his mind has become more mature.
Wang Heng bowed his hand towards Ji Ming and said with a smile: "Why is your Majesty free today? I'm so honored."
Ji Ming sneered in his heart: What a shame, what a liar?
He laughed dryly, and without any further politeness, he went straight to the point and said, "Master Wang, I want to cooperate with you."
Wang Heng rolled his eyes and thought: Sure enough. Seeing that my Wang family was about to make a comeback, I came to cooperate. Why do you cooperate with me? Do you deserve it?
Ji Ming saw that Wang Heng was silent and guessed what he was thinking. He was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, my status is a little low. But after all, I serve the emperor, and I am still very well-informed about some news. I can see whether your majesty is happy or angry every day. Come out. This servant can also understand why Your Majesty is happy or angry."
"When this news reaches your ears, you can deal with it calmly. Therefore, slaves are still of some use."
Wang Heng thought for a while and felt that this seemed to be the case. So he nodded and said to Ji Ming: "Please come in and have a drink, and we will talk in detail."
Ji Ming looked at the sun in the sky and thought: Talking in detail is nonsense. It's getting dark and I have to go back soon.
So he smiled slightly: "Master Wang, if you are willing to accept this slave, we can talk about the rest slowly. Today... forget it."
Wang Heng patted Ji Ming's shoulder: "We are friends to begin with, so there's no point in accepting it or not, haha..."
Ji Ming also smiled.
…………
The Wang family has experienced a period of prosperity.
Wang Jian and Wang Heng's previous campaign really confused some of the courtiers. They thought that the Wang family was really going to prosper. Therefore, the Wang family's mansion, which had been silent for a long time, actually welcomed some guests.
Wang Jian struck while the iron was hot and immediately ordered his remaining cronies to issue a memorial to Ying Zheng.
The memorial was written very sharply, mainly for Li Xin.
In the memorial, this person recounted Li Xin's various mistakes. He even brought up the old story of Li Xin's failure in attacking Chu.
In his memorial, he asserted that Li Xin was brave and reckless and was not worthy of his great responsibility. The failure of the attack on Chu caused Qin to suffer heavy casualties and had to rely on Wang Jian to clean up the mess.
This time, the task of defeating the Huns was even more difficult. How could Li Xin be qualified? It is conceivable that Li Xin will be defeated within a few days. Instead of waiting until Wang Heng is left to clean up the mess after losing troops and generals, it is better to replace him now, which can at least save many lives.
After the memorial was sent, many courtiers began to agree. As for Wang Wan, Li Si and other important ministers, they felt that Li Xin and Li Shui had indeed been too out of touch recently, and it was not an exaggeration to suppress them, so they remained silent.
Silence seemed like acquiescence. So the courtiers became even more enthusiastic.
As for Chunyu Yue, he supported Li Xin deep down in his heart. After all, Li Xin was his brother-in-law. But the old man always felt that he should avoid suspicion, so he remained silent.
Therefore, in the court, except for Zhou Qingchen and Wu Yue, there were many people clamoring to remove Li Xin.
In this regard, Ying Zheng was noncommittal.
Since the emperor did not categorically refuse, it meant there was hope, so Wang Jian entrusted many people to continue to write to Ying Zheng to remove Li Xin.
At the same time, Wang Heng also found Ji Ming and asked him to blow some wind in the palace and build momentum.
Ji Ming is relatively self-aware and knows that if he says this kind of thing by himself, the result will only be counterproductive. So he bribed a young eunuch named Zichou and asked Zichou to go and have a good time.
In fact, Zichou kept a distance from Ji Ming. Whoever got in contact with this broom star would be unlucky. His money was hot in his hand.
But Ji Ming took out a lot of gold, which made Zichou reluctant to part with it. In the end, he decided to help Ji Ming say this to gain wealth in danger.
So Zichou boldly entered Ying Zheng's study and pretended to wipe and sweep it. Then he said softly: "Your Majesty, I have heard some rumors recently."
Ying Zheng asked calmly: "What rumors?"
Zichou said cautiously: "It is said that the Huns are not afraid of Li Xin. They deliberately showed weakness in order to lure our Qin army to go deep alone and then gather together to annihilate them. What they fear most is Wang Heng."
Ying Zheng glanced at Zichou indifferently: "Who taught you these words?"
Zichou was startled and knelt on the ground shivering: "No one taught me to say it, it was my slave who had to say it."
Ying Zheng sneered: "You are a palace maid, where did you get this information?"
Zichou gritted his teeth and compiled: "Slave, I want to share your majesty's worries. So I paid special attention to it. Occasionally I heard something, so I came to report it to your majesty."
Ying Zheng sneered and said lightly: "That's it, please step back."
Zichou responded and left in a panic.
When he walked out of the study, Zichou found that his back was completely wet. He came out alive. If your Majesty had just said: Eunuchs dare to interfere in politics and kill them. Then this little life is definitely sealed.
Fortunately, nothing happened and I came out alive. Ji Ming's money is really hard to earn.
Zi Chou was so lucky to have escaped death that he returned to his residence and started counting money.
As a result, Ji Ming came again, and Ji Ming said to Zichou: "Please help me deliver another message."
Zichou didn't even listen, so he shook his head and refused.
Ji Ming seemed to have not seen it and said to himself: "Now near Xianyang, a lot of Huns suddenly poured in. There are Hu boys who work as servants everywhere, and there are Hu women who are married to men from the Central Plains. .”
"These people appear in Xianyang City in large numbers. I don't know what is going on. From my perspective, they are mostly malicious. They may want to take the opportunity to enter our Central Plains and cooperate with the Huns in the north. In short, this kind of thing is Li Yingwai's fault. Xin is incompetent, if it had been Lord Wang Heng who led the troops, these Huns would have been wiped out long ago, and there would be no chance of causing trouble."
Zichou seemed not to have heard anything and was still counting the money.
Ji Ming pressed his hand and said, "Stop counting. You have already counted the money ten times. Did you hear what I just said? If you are willing to tell His Majesty, I will give you gold." "
Zichou slowly raised his head, glanced at Ji Ming, and then grinned: "Jin Zi? My life is gone, what else do I need Jin Zi for?"
Ji Ming frowned: "Someone wants to kill you? Who is it? Tell me and I will help you kill him."
Zichou kicked Ji Ming out: "You want to kill me."
Ji Ming stood outside the door, feeling that this guy was a bit baffled. He dropped a sentence: "Zichou, even if you don't tell me, this news will reach your Majesty sooner or later. It's a pity that you don't want the gold that comes to your door."
Zichou remained silent.
Ji Ming had no choice but to leave with a disappointed look on his face.
News of the Huns' large-scale invasion of the Central Plains did reach Ying Zheng's ears. This was no small matter, so he immediately ordered a thorough investigation.
Soon, the origin of the Huns was found out. It is said that the banished immortals helped them enter Qin, made them servants, and married Qin people.
This investigation result quickly aroused strong reactions from courtiers.
Many people believe that Li Shui's move was to exterminate China. Just imagine a child born to a Hun woman. Are they not barbarians? In the future, there will be more and more people like this, and they will definitely disrupt the world.
Regarding this statement, Zhou Qingchen tried hard to defend himself, saying that since ancient times, the people of the Central Plains and the barbarians, Rong and Di, have lived together, and intermarriage has occurred from time to time.
Moreover, the distinction between Chinese and barbarians is not based on blood, but on etiquette. In the past, all the countries in the Central Plains regarded Qin and Chu as barbarians, but what now?
Moreover, Xiongnu women married into the Central Plains and reproduced from generation to generation. The blood of the Hu people became less and less, while the blood of the Central Plains people became more and more numerous. It would be a joke if this woman counting money could overthrow the Qin Dynasty.
Zhou Qingchen's voice was very weak, but the reason was very clear, and the objections gradually subsided.
But then, another voice came.
Many people say, well, why did the Exalted Immortal encourage the Huns to go to the Central Plains? Eighty percent of the time, the banished immortal encountered danger in the Xiongnu. He might have been killed or captured.
His seal was captured by the Huns, and many forged documents appeared. Those Huns took these forged documents and entered the Central Plains to commit evil. And the banished immortals were all caught. It was obvious that Li Xin was defeated, but he was afraid of the court's punishment, so he kept it secret.
As soon as this voice came out, more people immediately suggested that Ying Zheng should immediately recall Li Xin and send Wang Heng to go to the Xiongnu to lead troops to fight. As for the Huns who entered the Central Plains, they were all killed and no one was spared.
