Li Si's death caused Li Si's line of officials to suddenly lose their backbone. Although Li You was promoted to Right Prime Minister by Hu Hai, no matter in terms of qualifications, age or official position, Li You, as Right Prime Minister, could not
Comparable to Feng Quji.
However, Li You was directly promoted from the governor to the right prime minister, which gave Li Si's officials hope. It was precisely because of the support of several officials and ministers left by Li Si, including Yao Jia, that Li You was promoted to Prime Minister.
This young right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty will not appear to be a complete decoration, and he will follow the path that Feng Quji has traveled for more than ten years.
Another point is that Feng Quji is much older than Li Si. Who knows when Feng Quji will die suddenly like Li Si? At that time, the position of Zuo Prime Minister of Great Qin will naturally fall to Li You.
Feng Quji's predecessor, Zuo Prime Minister, was obviously just a move the emperor took in order to stabilize the court situation. I am afraid that all the officials in the court, including Feng Quji himself, knew very well that he, Zuo Prime Minister, was just a transitional one.
Therefore, after Feng Quji became Prime Minister Zuo, basically whenever Hu Hai proposed something, Feng Quji basically followed Hu Hai's will. Apart from necessary supplements and improvements, Feng Quji never opposed it.
The emperor's will.
As for Li You, because he had just taken the position of Prime Minister, although he had some opinions of his own, when it came to dealing with the emperor's will, just like Feng Quji, he mostly regarded the emperor's will as the main issue.
.
The power of Da Qin began to be truly controlled by Hu Hai.
More than ten days after Li Si's funeral, Hu Hai, in addition to promulgating a series of edicts such as the abolition of slavery and the establishment of currency, devoted most of his energy to rectifying the affairs inside and outside Xianyang Palace.
Inside, there are naturally many eunuchs and maids in Xianyang Palace. Outside, there are the imperial guards and guards responsible for guarding Xianyang Palace.
All the eunuchs and maids in Xianyang Palace were identified by Zhao An and listed in the net, and nearly fifty sky nets and underground nets were discovered one after another. These eunuchs and maids were all secretly executed.
The remaining eunuchs and maidens were all ordinary people with clean financial backgrounds who had been strictly screened. Later, at Zai Yingyi's strong request, Hu Hai dispatched some of the more outstanding female dragon guards from the dragon guards to serve in several places such as the emperor's palace and Concubine Li's palace.
The guards at key locations and the guards at various palace gates in Xianyang Palace were also entrusted to the Dragon Guards.
The Imperial Guards and Guardsmen were killed. After comparing the rosters, more than a hundred people were found in the net. They were also executed in secret.
The Black Ice Platform was also ordered to be strictly rectified by Hu Hai, because through the snare roster handed over by Li Si, more than 20 snare craftsmen and dead soldiers were found in the Black Ice Platform. This shows the great power of the snare.
However, in the past few days when Li Si's funeral was being dealt with, the entire Dragon Guard was mobilized. Within ten days, more than 500 Skynet dead soldiers were killed in all counties in Guanzhong. The detailed operation of Skynet controlled by Li Si turned out to be
There are more than 2,000 people. And as Li Si said, these people are spread across all types of people in Guanzhong, ranging from officials in the court to traffickers and pawns. They include everything.
Li Si's Skynet details were handed over to Hu Hai to Ying Liu, who was responsible for commanding all the details in the Dragon Guard, for sorting out. Those who could be absorbed into the Dragon Guard were absorbed, and those who could not be used by the Dragon Guard with evil intentions were executed together.
Based on Hu Hai's edict, the areas in Guanzhong that looked peaceful and prosperous on the outside were actually a bloody storm on the inside. However, this bloody storm basically did not cause too much trouble in various places in Guanzhong because of Long Wei's strict control.
Long Jiao, Long Mei, Long Bing and Long Xue, who were sent back to Ba Palace by Hu Hai, returned to Xianyang Palace again and became Hu Hai's personal bodyguards.
When everything came to an end, Hu Hai finally set his sights on finding the person who betrayed him and revealed the news of his secret journey north to Xiang Liang's rebels.
Hu Hai originally thought that Li Si did it. But obviously, Li Si did not do it. Moreover, Li Si only admitted to the assassination of Meng Tian and Wei Liao in the palace. At the same time, he pointed out that there was a third party force in Xianyang who was taking advantage of the troubled waters.
.
In addition to the net, are there also third-party forces? If this force is large, it is obviously impossible to just attack the South Gate Guard Station, but to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble throughout Xianyang.
The person who wants to take advantage of the troubled waters is obviously because there is something about the south gate that attracts him. It is just a small south gate guard post. Apart from dozens of soldiers on duty, what else is worth taking such a desperate risk?
Now both the assassination and Li Si's funeral have ended. Most of the men in black who tried to escape from Xianyang after ambushing the Nanmen Guard Station were captured alive by Wang Gan, who was ordered to block the main roads near Xianyang. The rest resisted
All of them were shot alive by the Qin army's strong crossbows.
Yingyi personally took action, and within an hour, all the people who were captured alive were shouting and shouting to reveal the person behind the scenes.
Before Hu Hai returned to Xianyang, Ying Yi had been secretly investigating the traitor for more than a month, so Ying Yi had much more information than Hu Hai imagined.
It was just because there was no definite evidence that Ying Yi did not dare to report it to Hu Hai. When he thought that since the person had contacted Xiang Liang, the contact would not be easily severed. When he was waiting for the person to get the stolen goods together, he did not think of it.
Ever since he received the emperor's letter, the man had stopped moving. It seemed that everything was just like his martial arts.
The man did not move for a long time, which made Yingyi even more cautious and did not dare to make any moves easily.
Today, the suspicion of that person was truly confirmed. Through the confessions of those people, Ying Yi quickly thought of the intention of these people to attack the soldiers of the South Gate Guard Station.
The information he got at the beginning was provided to him by the soldiers at the South Gate Guard Station. After all, before the emperor left Xianyang, only the people in that man's house had ever left Xianyang City and the South Gate late at night.
Hearing the name of the person that Ying said, Hu Hai was stunned for a moment and then asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"
"Back to your majesty, those people are all his retainers in his house. I have already recruited them all after a short torture. Moreover, before your majesty left Xianyang, only the people in his house had ever left Xianyang. And it was your majesty.
Inform all the lords in the court about the night when we will go north." Ying Yi said affirmatively.
Sima Xin, Sima Xin, and Hu Hai were chanting that person's name. In front of their eyes, the tens of thousands of people who were killed and injured because of Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu in Wucheng could not help but flashed past the tiger heads and many other people who were innocently massacred in that battle.
The innocent eyes of children who have lost their parents.
These people could have been spared from that unnecessary disaster. It was precisely because of Sima Xin's betrayal that not only nearly put Hu Hai in danger, but also led to the death and injury of tens of thousands of innocent people.
Until he returned safely, Sima Xin not only did not flee to Xiang Liang, but continued to hide in Xianyang, hiding in the Great Qin court. He even intensified his efforts to directly attack and kill the soldiers of the guards in Xianyang, and set fire to private houses.
.
The chief historian of the emperor's study is usually the person closest to the emperor. After all, the chief historian of the emperor's study holds too many secrets of the Qin Dynasty. During the time of the first emperor, Meng Yi had always served as the chief historian of the emperor's study. This shows that the emperor
The importance of the position of study director.
It wasn't until Hu Hai came to the throne that Sima Xin was promoted to Hu Hai's study chief by Li Si and Zhao Gao. Sima Xin should know that he must have guessed that there was a traitor in the court. Even if he didn't know, Xiang Liang would tell him if he came.
He himself once asked Xiang Yu who reported the news to Necklace.
Sima Xin did not escape but chose to stay in Xianyang. In front of his titular emperor's study chief Shi, of course, he did it to continue to provide information to Xiang Liang. How brave is this? Moreover, Sima Xin even ordered a retainer in the mansion to be mad.
He went to attack and kill the soldiers of the South Gate Guard who had seen the token in his mansion. He wanted to add fuel to the chaotic situation in Xianyang and take the opportunity to get through.
Hu Hai couldn't understand why Sima Xing hated himself so much and the Qin Dynasty that gave him a high position. He was willing to accept a thief as his father.
Bitter murderous aura suddenly spread from Hu Hai's body. The temperature of the entire hall suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"Go and confiscate the Sima Mansion. No one in the family can be missed. And Sima Xin, don't let him die. I want to see him." Hu Hai looked at Ying Yi and said coldly.
"I obey your order!" Ying Yi quickly bowed and responded.
"By the way, go and call Zhang Han. Sima Xin is his good friend." Hu Hai suddenly seemed to remember something and said slowly with his eyes narrowed.
"Here!" Ying couldn't help but trembled when he heard the emperor's words.
The relationship between Zhang Han and Sima Xin was known to everyone in the government and the public. And as far as Yingyi knew, Zhang Han had spoken kindly to Sima Xin in front of the emperor more than once. This was just to enable the emperor to have more
Sima Xin, who had the reputation of being the chief historian of the emperor's study but was rarely appointed by Hu Hai, was reused.
The emperor ordered himself to recruit Zhang Han. Apparently, the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Han because of Sima Xin's incident.
The peaceful Sima Mansion was suddenly suddenly invaded by a large number of dragon guards. Ying Yiyi personally led more than ten dragon guards directly to Sima Xin's study. The emperor had already said that he wanted to see the living Sima Xin in person.
And Ying Yi also knew very well that once the Dragon Guards broke into Sima's mansion, the wisest thing for Sima Xin, as a traitor, would be to commit suicide to apologize. Only in this way could he avoid the possibility of the emperor killing the entire Sima clan. Ying Yi very
Knowing this, I naturally dare not neglect it.
Ying had investigated the terrain of Sima Mansion early in the morning, and he also knew where Sima Xin was.
Sima Xin, who had just stood up because of the sudden noise in the mansion and wanted to see what was going on, before he could stand up completely, the study door that was originally closed suddenly broke into several pieces and flew upside down with a loud noise.
Sima Xin looked at Ying Yi who appeared outside the broken door with a stunned look on his face. His face suddenly turned pale. All the strength in his body was drained out in an instant, and he slowly collapsed to the ground helplessly.
