As Fan Yuqi was escorted back to Xianyang City, the Chengyu rebellion case officially kicked off. How to deal with the rebels, the people involved in the case, etc. all need to come up with a safe disposal plan. Therefore, Qin's important ministers Everyone gathered in Zhangtai Palace to discuss the matter together.
The leader was naturally a group of powerful officials headed by Lu Buwei, and Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, Lord Yangquan and others were naturally among them.
Ying Zheng, wearing a black royal robe, sat high on the throne, while Queen Mother Zhao Ji listened to the government behind the curtain.
All the current rulers of Qin State are present,
Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and looked down at the ministers below with an indifferent expression. He took the lead in breaking the oppressive and dull atmosphere in the palace and said slowly: "Chang'an Jun Chenglong burned himself to death, and all the rebels surrendered. What should we do now?" What do you think about them?"
"I believe that this matter should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
Lu Buwei's arms were slightly drooped, and his wrinkled old face showed no expression, as if he was stating a fact: "According to Qin law, anyone involved in this case must be executed."
"According to what Xiangguo said, all the soldiers and officers involved in this case will be beheaded?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly focused, staring at Lu Buwei, and said in a deep voice.
Lu Buwei's expression remained unchanged and he nodded in response: "That's what I mean. This Chang'an Lord's rebellion can actually inspire nearly 100,000 people. If it is not dealt with with thunderous means, it will definitely damage the majesty of the king, and even the brothers may even be together in the future." Imitate him.”
As his words fell, all the officials around him remained silent, and no one stepped forward to object.
"With this little loss, Qin will suffer a lot!"
Queen Mother Zhao Ji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "The Ai family wants to reward Young Master Jia as a Marquis of Changxin, and grant it to the land of Shanyang. Can you tell me about it when you happen to be here today?"
"What Mr. Changping said is reasonable, and I agree with you!"
Ying Zheng saw all this in his eyes, the palms hidden in his sleeves clenched involuntarily, his face darkened, and he said in a solemn voice: "What if there is another hidden secret in this matter?"
He didn't expect that there were other people hidden behind this matter. Now that the truth was revealed, things that were originally unreasonable instantly became reasonable.
"What Mr. Xiangguo said is reasonable. Although the Qin State suffered this loss, the incident of Lord Chang'an had a reason after all. It was calculated by Xiaoxiao's disciples. Fan Yuqi and others were the participants in this matter. If Killing them all seemed to have maintained the king's prestige, but in fact he fell into the trap of others and reduced Qin's national power.
Lu Buwei looked at Mr. Changping who jumped out and did not open his mouth to refute.
Ying Zheng said in a low voice: "The assassin did something to Cheng Xi's body before he died, causing him to temporarily lose his mind, which is why this rebellion started!"
"I accept the decree!"
Because he was also curious about who wrote the letter and what the other party wanted to do?
The reason he killed Cheng Xi was because the opponent stretched his hand too far and had a wrong idea about military power. He had to use this to teach Ying Zheng a lesson!
The other party's letter drew Cheng Yu to the opposite side of Ying Zheng. If he hadn't killed Cheng Yu this time, perhaps Cheng Yu would have turned into an uncertain factor and brought big trouble to Ying Zheng and even the Qin State in the future. By then, it may not be comparable to the current rebellion.
"I mean the same thing. There is such a person with ulterior motives hidden in Qin State. We must investigate!"
Ying Zheng's face was solemn. He had not yet been crowned as the official ruler, and he could not stand up to Lu Buwei. After all, there were too few people behind him. Now that Chang'an Jun has disappeared, there is not even a single person who can speak for him in this court.
They were all gone, and he couldn't help but look at his mother beside him.
He said seriously: "This matter must be investigated to the end and give an explanation to Lord Chang'an!"
"Young Master Jia is rich in knowledge and knowledge. What's more rare is that he is virtuous and can set an example for the world. In recent days, he has been accompanying and serving the Ai family. The Ai family has become more and more aware that this son is extraordinary. He is now a hostage in Qin. The Ai family
I couldn't bear to have him buried like this, so I came up with this idea."
The dignified son of a country was actually plotted against, and he lost his life without telling anyone, and made Qin the laughing stock of the six countries. This matter must be investigated to the end to find out who Xiaoxiao did it!"
He continued with a stern expression: "In the final analysis, Chang'an Juncheng is also a victim of this incident!"
Chang'an Jun Chengyu is my young master of the Qin Dynasty.
"I second the proposal!"
Lu Buwei withdrew his gaze, paused, and said slowly: "Of course we have to investigate, but the scope of this matter is too wide. Even if we investigate, there will be no results for a while. In contrast, how to deal with the rebels is the first priority
The problem is, their guilt cannot be absolved by just saying they have inside information!"
He didn't want to continue killing, especially since Cheng Yu explained everything in the letter, which made him no longer have such serious murderous intention towards Fan Yuqi and others.
Lord Changping first affirmed Lu Buwei's words, and then expressed his own thoughts. He looked like he was thinking about the country of Qin, making it impossible to find any fault.
Lu Buwei did not object. He looked at Lord Changping and was curious whether Lord Changping wanted to jump out and have an arm wrestling match with him.
at this time.
"Before Cheng Yu set himself on fire, he gave Fan Yuqi a letter in which he fully explained the ins and outs of the incident. He confessed to his rebellion against the Qin Dynasty, but the incident was not caused by him alone. He himself was also punished.
The influence of a letter. This letter appeared very strangely and was actually delivered to the coach's camp without anyone noticing.
Lu Buwei looked at Lord Changping with both eyes, and his tone became a little more serious.
At this moment, Lord Changping spoke again: "I also feel that this matter should end here!"
"What do you mean, Mr. Changping?"
He spoke with righteous indignation, and his face rarely showed a trace of indignation, as if he had been insulted.
When Ying Zheng saw this scene, he suddenly became more confident and said in a deep voice: "In this case, the matter ends here. Fan Yuqi and others will cut off all their titles, maintain their positions, and perform meritorious service. As for the letter,
As for the origin of the incident and the assassination, Lord Changping will be responsible for investigating."
If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.
A terrifying light flashed in Lu Buwei's eyes. He frowned and glanced at the ministers present indifferently. He guessed in his mind the source of the letter. He could send the letter to Chengdu without anyone noticing.
In the hands of Xi, this person must hold a high position in Qin and be powerful in the army.
There is a saying.
No wonder Jun Chengyu of Chang'an would rashly launch this rebellion. It all came from a coincidence.
Lord Changping responded with his hands raised.
"Everything happens for a reason, how can we generalize it?"
As Queen Mother Zhao Ji finished speaking, the atmosphere that had come to an end instantly solidified, and everyone looked at Zhao Ji in surprise.
There was a pause.
I was surprised by what Zhao Ji said and wondered if my ears were hallucinating.
Lu Buwei said indifferently.
Besides, once we kill them all, how can we investigate this matter?"
Sure enough, it's trouble... Chang Pingjun paused in his heart, but there was a look of surprise on his face. He looked at Ying Zheng in surprise, as if he had no idea about the matter. He immediately stepped forward angrily, raised his hands and said: "There is such an inside story.
!I believe that this matter should be investigated strictly. Compared with this rebellion, this letter and this assassination need to find an answer more.
The content on it was even more unbearable and completely different from that message, and after that, Cheng Xi was assassinated."
Even Ying Zheng blinked, looked at his mother in disbelief, and couldn't help but ask: "How could the queen have such an idea?"
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, then looked at Lu Buwei and asked, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Ying Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Chang'an Jun Chengyu has already paid with his life for this. If he beheads tens of thousands more... doesn't the Prime Minister think it's too much?"
Lord Changping had the support of the Queen Mother Huayang in the Qin State, and was surrounded by Chu forces. He was deeply rooted in the Qin State and had considerable power.
As Mr. Changping took the lead, five or six people came out one after another to support Mr. Changping.
One word stirred up a thousand waves.
Lu Buwei's eyes moved slightly, with a look of surprise on his face in a cooperative manner. He looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "Could it be that the king personally interrogated Fan Yuqi yesterday and what did he find out?"
At this moment, Changping Jun felt that he was an innocent person. As the elder of Chenglong, he had the obligation to seek justice for his junior!
"Anything else to hide?"
Zhao Ji gave an explanation in a calm tone, and at the same time glanced at the stiff-faced Lu Buwei with her charming phoenix eyes.
The reason is that it doesn't matter whether it is true or not. What is important is that she wants to earn an identity for her man, and it is no less than Lu Buwei's identity.
Lu Buwei and other merchants can all be ranked as Chehou in the Qin State.
Why can't Zhao Jia?!
