In the main car in the center of the motorcade, brothers Fu Nian are sitting in it.
Fu Nian looked serious and was telling Yan Lu something:
"Junior brother, I don't know if there will be any danger during this trip to Xianyang. You must be careful."
Yan Lu shook his head and said, "Brother, don't worry, I understand."
Fu Nian nodded slightly and continued in a deep voice, "You are smart and precocious, and you always have ideas and know how to advance and retreat. However, during this trip to Xianyang, you must remember not to leave my side, let alone act on your own initiative."
"If you have anything that needs to be done, please tell me first and I will arrange it."
"Everything will naturally be arranged by senior brother." Yan Lu naturally nodded obediently and agreed.
Fu Nian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, "Well... just write it down."
He still trusts Yan Lu. Although this junior fellow apprentice is young, he is calm in doing things, always calm and abiding by the rules. Since he has complied with his words, he will definitely not act randomly.
The rest is what he, the leader, needs to do.
Before leaving, Xunzi made a special trip to Fu Nian and left some instructions. The main content was to ask Fu Nian to reduce Yan Lu's presence as much as possible, not to let others notice him, and not to let him break away from the large army and act alone.<
/p>
From Fu Nian's current point of view, these aspects are relatively simple. The only remaining problem is what Yan Lu has to do after arriving in Xianyang.
Until now, Yan Lu has not told Fu Nian what he wants to do, and Fu Nian has not asked.
I just hope there won’t be too many twists and turns...
………………
The day after Qi Wangjian was attacked, this news was rushed back to Xianyang, causing shock to the government and the public.
Assassinating a king and killing a chariot is the most serious felony in the world. Even if the person who is assassinated is the king of Qi, it is still a big case for the Qin State. It is even more embarrassing than the assassination of their own king. Naturally, this matter was the first thing brought up in the court meeting.
Xiong Qi, the right prime minister of Changping, was the first to speak. He was not in a hurry to investigate the responsibility or catch the culprit. Instead, he suggested, "Your Majesty, the attack on King Qi this time is not serious, but we must guard against thieves."
After a comeback, I feel that the border troops of Dongjun should be mobilized southward as soon as possible to ensure that King Qi returns home safely."
After Changping Jun finished speaking, he was followed by a lot of echoes. Some of them simply followed what Changping Jun Xiong Qi said, while others agreed with Xiong Qi's point of view.
The safety of King Qi is the most important thing, so arrangements must be made in advance.
Ying Zheng's gaze passed through the beaded curtain and swept across His Highness's ministers. He replied solemnly, "The King of Qi is traveling, and we are sending them off with a large army. It would be a loss of etiquette. We should order the Imperial Guards to increase their manpower and strengthen their precautions."
”
Ying Zheng rejected Chang Pingjun's proposal.
If you say it is appropriate, it is appropriate. If you say it is inappropriate, it is also inappropriate. It depends on which aspect you consider.
It would be unseemly to send a large army to escort, and given the lessons learned from a certain King Huai of Chu, it would make people think too much, but if we don’t send a large army, there will be security risks.
Xiong Qi pondered for a while and then said, "Qin and Qi have been friends for many years, and the king had a very happy conversation with His Majesty the King of Qi before. I think... it is better to put safety first."
Ying Zheng refused again and said decisively, "Just let this matter be settled as it is, there is no need to discuss it further."
King Qin has spoken, and no one dares to say anything more. After all, the king's power is supreme... Of course, the premise is that the power is in the hands of the king.
"I accept your order." Xiong Qi bowed and withdrew from the queue. There was no need for him, the Prime Minister, to specifically start the next topic.
"Your Majesty..." As Xiong Qi withdrew, Li Si, the Tingwei who was in charge of the judicial trial and prison law, stepped forward and spoke, "The King of Qi was assassinated, and he was in charge of the Imperial Guards, as well as the Yin Jin, Yang Jin, and Pu
Ban and other county guards have failed in their duties and have been recalled to Xianyang for punishment."
"The identity of the person behind the crime must also be investigated strictly to uphold the law of the country."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Let the matter be investigated by Tingwei and Guowei together."
"I accept your order." List nodded and returned to the queue.
At this time, Guo Wei Liao, who was called out, stepped forward and said, "I have found some clues about this matter."
"Say."
Wei Liao spoke unhurriedly, "The assassins were from Baiyue, and they were all Baiyue wizards. However, they were obviously not the instigators, maybe they were just hired thugs. The instigators should not be able to circumvent the Shandong kingdoms.
, among which... haha, there must be a contribution from Chu State."
"In addition to the Chu State, the three Jin countries may not be able to clear their suspicions."
After listening to Wei Liao's words, many people couldn't help but turn their attention to Han Fei, the ninth prince of South Korea, and Xiong Qi, the right minister of Changping, who was born in the Chu clan.
According to what Guo Wei said, these two people are related to the suspects.
Seeing that it had affected him, Han Fei had no choice but to make a few excuses casually, "His Majesty the King of Qin has learned clearly that we, South Korea, have always regarded Qin as a friend of the superior country, and there is absolutely no way we can do such a cruel act."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and did not comment on Han Fei's words.
As for Xiong Qi, he didn't make any move, just remained silent.
He is a minister of Qin and the right prime minister of Qin. He cannot be blamed for this kind of shit. All he needs to do is remain silent.
After Wei Liao finished speaking, he stood aside with a smile, silently observing the reactions of others.
What he just said was all nonsense.
He knows the plans of Ying Zheng and the Yin Yang family, and he should even be considered one of the planners.
However, everyone knows that after he took office as a lieutenant, he vigorously developed espionage and espionage. This assassination was quite powerful. It would be inappropriate for him not to reveal something. His own king would definitely not be able to do so, so he would have to find some scapegoat.
.
The Chu State is the best choice. It has a bad relationship with the Qin State and a bad relationship with the Qi State. It still has some territory in Baiyue - if you don’t blame it, who should blame it?
And since you have chosen to frame the blame, you naturally don’t have to stick to one country and one family. You must be more supportive. In this way, Zhao, who is at war with Qin and has a bad relationship with Qi,
So he took me with him.
As for the three Jins, they were all in the same spirit, so Wei Liao simply blocked them all together. Han Fei was the one who was accidentally affected by him - but this unintentional incident happened to become a reason for others later.
Ying Zheng is clear in his heart, and Wei Liao is clinging to him randomly, but he is also happy to see the results, and will send troops to attack other countries in the future. These are all excuses.
Mian Qi shook slightly, and Ying Zheng said, "This matter must be investigated to the end."
"Old minister, I will fulfill my duty loyally." Wei Liao nodded, bowed and accepted the order and left.
At this point, the assassination of King Qi in the court has come to an end.
However, outside the court, it is estimated that there will be heated discussions for some time. The assassination of the king is a rare thing even in the current situation where there are seven kings in the world, and the people will be keen to use it as a talking point.<
/p>
The court meeting has not yet ended, and officials from various departments are still reporting matters that need to be discussed in court, and the King of Qin and other important ministers will discuss and make decisions.
Ying Zheng holds court meetings almost every day. There is no accumulation of such things, and there are usually very few. This session will naturally end soon.
Then comes the finale of the court meetings these days - the verbal dispute between two legal experts with Confucian origins.
For all the officials in the palace, this is still interesting.
