Chen Xuan took the book from Wang and read it carefully. Her eyes shed tears instantly. She raised her head and glanced at Ying Gao, smiling sadly.
She felt unworthy of her husband. He had been loyal to the Qin Dynasty and the King of Qin all his life, but in the end, he could not be stable.
It's just that she is not an ordinary person. After following Lu Buwei for so long, she naturally knows that there are some things that can be said and some things that must not be said.
Once you say something you shouldn't say, it will affect the development of the situation.
…
"Why does Third Young Master want me to read this king's book instead of going to my husband directly?"
After reading Wang's book, Chen Xuan raised his head and looked at Ying Gao, with a hint of panic in his eyes, which was slowly taking shape.
"Madam, Marquis Wenxin got the king's letter and committed suicide——!" Ying Gao knew in his heart that there was no way to avoid this, so he could only answer truthfully.
"Husband!"
With a loud roar, Chen Xuan ran towards the study, and his elders followed him. Ying Gao shook his head helplessly and followed.
Da Qin's rules are strict. Since he is in Luoyang, he must guard Lu Buwei's body and not break Da Qin's rules.
…
The sound of crying came from the study, which made people sad. Ying Gao also felt a little sad in his heart. Death is like a lamp going out. It really only takes a moment.
Even the greatest emperors and heroes are just corpses in the end, buried in the loess of the fortress and become a thing of the past.
"Third Young Master, what on earth is going on?" Ximen asked Ying Gao with anger on his face.
"The king sent Meng Wu to read the king's letter, and Marquis Wenxin bluntly said to wait for him for a while, and then committed suicide in the study!"
Ying Gao explained, was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, my father has never thought of questioning Marquis Wenxin, but Marquis Wenxin is in Luoyang, which is located among the six kingdoms of Xianyang and Guandong."
"Moreover, Marquis Wenxin had close contacts with the envoys and merchants of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, which made my father feel uneasy. This royal letter is nominally a reprimand, but it is just a warning to Marquis Wenxin."
"It's just that Marquis Wenxin is used to having a smooth journey and feels this is a humiliation, so..."
At this point, Ying Gao stopped. He knew in his heart that no matter how things were originally, at this moment, Lu Buwei died, and everything changed.
Even a good thing turned into a bad thing at this moment.
"Why!"
With a long sigh, Ximen didn't say much. In his opinion, although Ying Gao was the third son of the Qin Dynasty, he was still a child.
"My dear, now that Marquis Wenxin has passed away, please persuade Madam, so that Madam will not be confused..." Ying Gao felt that he should not remain silent any longer, otherwise, this mansion would lose its owner today.
"Madam has a strong temperament. Now that Marquis Wenxin is not here, I'm afraid no one can persuade her, and no one can stop her——!"
Although Ximen felt sad and angry, he knew in his heart that Ying Gao was right. At this time, his wife was the top priority.
"Hey, let me try——!"
After a while, Chen Xuan walked out of the study and said to Ying Gao, "Third Young Master, please tell the King of Qin that my husband has never betrayed the Qin Dynasty. Please treat "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" kindly!"
Hearing this, Ying Gao frowned, and Chen Xuan's tone was full of despair for the world. It can be said that this was a kind of indignation.
It is also an accusation, an accusation against Da Qin, and an accusation against Qin Wangzheng.
"lady!"
Ying Gao's eyes flashed, and he quickly admonished, saying: "There has just been an incident here at Marquis Wenxin. All of Marquis Wenxin's followers have left, and there are no heirs. If something happens to Madam again, who will attend to Marquis Wenxin's funeral?"
At this time, Lu Buwei had committed suicide, and Ying Gao had to ensure that Lu Buwei's wives and concubines could not also die. After all, Chen Xuan was the veritable master of Lu Buwei's mansion now.
"Third Young Master, I have something to do, so I won't entertain Third Young Master. Please help yourself!" Chen Xuan spoke in a cold tone and gave Ying Gao an order to expel the guests.
Obviously, for Chen Xuan, Lu Buwei's death was due to Ying Gao. At this moment, after hearing the bad news, he naturally did not want to see Ying Gao.
"My dear, please!"
After giving instructions to Ximen, Ying Gao walked out of the hall. He knew in his heart that at this time, it would be better for him to avoid it.
…
"Sir, what should we do now?" Wang Hu said with a worried look on his face as he walked out of Wenxinhou's mansion.
Although Wang Hu is not very sensitive to political matters, he also knows that the entire Great Qin will tremble if Marquis Wenxin, who dominates the Qin Dynasty, commits suicide.
"Waiting for the governor of Sanchuan County, we have too few people. Whether or not my father has appointed me, we can act urgently, but we can't go too far!"
Ying Gao knew that at this moment he was just a doctor and an envoy to South Korea, so he could do whatever he wanted in South Korea.
But once he entered Da Qin, he was nothing more than a doctor.
Everyone just respects him as the Master of Qin, and as long as things don't go too far, they will naturally give him face. But when it comes to Qin Fa and the core, his face is worthless.
"promise."
…
Ning Wu, the governor of Sanchuan County, arrived overnight.
"Third Young Master, how is the situation now?" At this moment, Ning Wu's heart was extremely heavy. Such a thing happened on his territory, which made him feel a mountain of pressure.
Glancing at Ning Wu, Ying Gao said solemnly, "General Meng Wu rushed to Xianyang to report to his father. I am afraid that the only one who can make the decision here is the county guard."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Ning Wu waved his hand: "The Imperial Censor, immediately led five hundred soldiers to seal off Wenxinhou's residence and guard Wenxinhou's residence and study day and night."
"At the same time, Chang Shi, report to Xianyang immediately——!"
"promise."
At this time, the government of the Qin Dynasty focused on practical matters, and those who could achieve the level of county governor were almost all top-notch experts, and they all had a few brushes at their disposal.
"Third Young Master, do you think this is appropriate?" After the instructions were given, Ning Wu looked at Ying Gao and said.
Hearing this, Ying Gao was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Ning Wu's leader would just decide such a matter directly, without asking him at all.
After all, at this time, Da Qin did not have a prince, and he was not the eldest son.
Thoughts flashed in his mind, and Ying Gao's eyes were as bright as a torch: "Guardian Ning, Marquis Wenxin has three thousand disciples, among whom there are many roosters, dogs, and thieves."
"Furthermore, the relationship between Da Qin and the Six Kingdoms of Shandong is now tense. Once the news comes out, there will be chaos in Luoyang City, and even the foundation of Da Qin will be disturbed."
"My suggestion is that, if possible, Sheriff Ning immediately orders all the major passes in Luoyang to be blocked, especially the major and minor passes leading into Luoyang from the east."
"Carry out strict interrogation. No arrows will be released without a special warrant and without a golden order——!"
"We'll wait until our father makes the decision to bury Marquis Wenxin's body, and then switch on and off after the funeral. This way, nothing goes wrong."
