The issue of Prime Minister Lu Buwei has been put on hold for more than ten days, and the three-month confinement mentioned at the beginning has reached the last day.
On this day, the court was detonated by an irrelevant news.
Gongsun Ren was summoned by the King of Qin and granted the title of guest minister.
Originally, in this era, if the king chatted particularly well with someone, it would be no big deal to give him the position of minister. But at this time, it just gave the clan a reason to attack Lu Yan.
"I'm waiting to see the king!"
"Meet the King!"
"Give me an explanation..."
All the officials turned back to look at the palace. Ying Zheng pointed out with his finger, "Who is making noise outside?"
The eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Chongquan, Lord Pinyang, Lord Weinan, etc. of the clan are clamoring outside the palace to meet the King."
"Let them in."
"promise."
Everyone in the clan walked into the main hall and knelt down in unison, "We will pay homage to the king."
When Ying Zheng saw it, he smiled and said, "What day is it today? All the uncles and uncles are gathered here?"
Lord Chongquan took the lead, "Your Majesty, we are going to impeach the Imperial Advisor."
The rest of the people followed suit, "We are going to impeach the Imperial Guard."
Xiong Qi looked at this group of people and couldn't figure out what was pouring into the clan's head.
The officials were also whispering to each other. Lu Yan was very busy at the moment, but his busyness showed that he was deeply trusted by the king. Why did the clan suddenly attack Lu Yan?
Ying Zheng asked: "What did your Majesty do to provoke you to such a violent fight?"
"One, accepting bribes and beguiling the king, so that Gongsun Ren was granted the title of guest minister without merit."
Someone came forward and said, "It's ridiculous. Since entering Xianyang, the Imperial Master has never accepted any property from others? Even if someone wants to bribe, there is no way."
Well, maybe, he originally wanted to bribe but didn't find the right preference.
"Lu Yan is naturally different from others. Money is not of interest at all, but his love for classics is well-known throughout the world. Gongsun Ren once sent ten carts of bamboo slips, including Longzi's original copy. Not to mention a thousand gold coins, even ten thousand gold coins cannot be as rich as this gift.
.”
After Lord Chongquan refuted this man, he raised his head and faced the throne solemnly, "One of them is still young, but I can't bear the fact that they all come down. Lu Yan was deeply favored by the king and worshiped as a national advisor, and he also had the power to supervise the army.
, but he is a guest sent by the Six Kingdoms, always trying to weaken Qin."
Ying Zheng was shocked, "What did you say?"
All officials felt that their three views had been refreshed.
"This is impossible."
"It doesn't look like it to me either."
Cai Ze blinked twice, took a deep breath, and thought to himself: "Which country is so stupid as to send a great talent like Lu Yan as a guest... Your Majesty, Lu Yan, what are you planning this time?"
Xiong Qixin was happy, but he didn't show it at all. Lu Yan and Yueshen were his biggest enemies at the moment. The clan wanted to mess with Lu Yan, so he was very happy.
"I would like to call witnesses: Zheng Guo, Li Si, Ying Yan, Gong Shuqiu."
"Xuan."
The four people went to the palace, each with different expressions. Ying Yan was excited, Zheng Guo was relieved, Li Si was thoughtful, and Gong Shuqiu looked terrified.
Ying Zheng said to Li Si: "Li Si, you are the senior brother of the national master. You speak first."
"Your Majesty, I report to the conservator Zheng Guo. He is here to implement the plan to weaken Qin on the orders of Han Fei, the ninth prince of South Korea. He wants to use the large canal project to delay Qin's eastward march and buy time for South Korea."
When the officials heard this, some laughed.
"I heard that Korean young masters thought Han Fei was uneducated and unskilled, but I didn't expect that to be true."
"Yes, this plan to weaken Qin is clearly a plan to strengthen Qin."
Ying Zheng pointed to Zheng Guo again, "Zheng Guo, Li Si reported it, what do you have to say?"
"The common people were indeed invited by Han Fei to come up with the plan to build the canal. What I have learned in this life is of no use to Han, but it can be put into practice in Qin. The blueprint of the canal has been completed. Whether to repair it or not is all at the king's discretion.
In the meantime, Zheng Guo is at the mercy of the king."
Lord Chongquan continued: "It is precisely because of Gongshu's family that this plan to weaken Qin will not only be delayed for a few years, but will also greatly increase the national strength of our Qin state. Lu Yan and Han Fei have a good personal relationship, so he wants to use Gongshu to enmity.
Come and complete the plan to tire Qin again."
He looked at Gongshuqiu and asked: "Gongshuqiu, let me ask you, is the newly created machine beast much weaker than the one you showed that day?"
That one was for military use, and the current one is purely for civilian use. Of course, it is much different.
"That's true, but -"
"Is it because of your overbearing machine skills that you did not produce armaments because of the national army and became a migrant worker?"
"Well, this is indeed the case, but -"
Lord Chongquan was filled with indignation and his face flushed, "Your Majesty, Lu Yan planned to delay the canal project and weaken the Qin army. His evil intentions are obvious."
Ying Yan also bowed down in time: "Yes, Your Majesty, Ying Yan once heard with his own ears what Na Dianwei said about Lu Yan's conspiracy with Zheng Guo and Gongsun Ren's bribery."
"We will ask your Majesty to punish Lu Yan."
"We will ask your Majesty to punish Lu Yan."
Ying Zheng saw that many people had joined in. Looking at the empty palace, he asked the people around him: "Why is the Imperial Master not in court today?"
"Your Majesty, the first batch of papers has been made today, and the Imperial Preceptor has gone to the general's office."
He felt it was a bit difficult to do, so he handed the knife back to the people below, "My lords, how do you think the Imperial Master should handle it?"
Lord Chongquan took the opportunity to ask: "Your Majesty, I heard that you once wanted to expel guests, but Lu Yan persuaded you to stop. Is this the case?"
Ying Zheng nodded, "Well, uncle is well-informed."
Mr. Chongquan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please issue an eviction order."
The whole clan knelt down and bowed to each other, saying, "I will give you an order to expel guests."
Hundreds of officials are frying the pot, and the court is in chaos.
"Your Majesty, I beg to differ."
"Your Majesty, I don't agree with this either."
"Never issue an eviction order."
Chongquan Jun's old voice was deafening, "Your Majesty, how much support does the Lao-Ai Rebellion have from Zhao, Han and Wei? How can Lu Buwei, who committed such a serious crime, still have ministers in the court to protect him like this? Li Si knew that Zheng Guo was not well-intentioned, but he has protected him until now.
As a Tingweicheng, he knows the law and breaks the law.
For these foreign guests, the Qin State is just a tool for them to fight for power. How have they ever really considered our country, the Qin Dynasty?! Your Majesty, I would like to issue an order to expel the guests."
"Your Majesty, please give me an order, Your Majesty, please give me your order, Your Majesty, please give me your order!"

The clan members knelt on the ground, and the ministers on the other side also knelt on the ground.
"I see, Your Majesty, you want to use the expulsion order to drive away all the foreign guests surrounding Lu Buwei, but this will kill a thousand enemies and damage yourself ten thousand."
Cai Zezheng was worried, and suddenly he remembered that neither the king nor Lu Yan were like people who would do such a loss-making thing, and resentment suddenly arose in his heart: King, you promised to tell me your plan last time...
Under Xiong Qi's influence, most of them were surnamed Mi, and there were also foreigners, but they were not comparable to Lu Buwei's.
He was wondering in his mind: "After defeating the Lu Buwei Group, the clan came to power? The clan has no ability to govern the country at all. If you play with power like this, something will happen. Your Majesty is not so unwise..."
Ying Zheng stood up slowly and said, "Wang Wan, you will take over the papermaking of the National Master."
Shangqing Wang Wan came out to receive orders.
"Old General Zhang Tang, you take over as the guard captain of the national division."
"promise."
"Mr. Changping, drafted the imperial edict and ordered the guests to be expelled."
"promise."
"Your Majesty, you can't do that~"
"No way~"
Ying Zheng ignored the ministers who were still kneeling and begging, and "retired from the court."
Li Si knelt down, and he who should have been in despair showed a little smile, "That's it, junior brother, Li Si, thank you for helping me achieve this great achievement!"
…
Lu Buwei, who was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, was dressed in casual clothes and was standing in the courtyard feeding fish.
Some of his subordinates rushed in and said, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, something bad is going on, something is going wrong!"
"Why are you panicking?"
"Your Majesty has issued an order today to expel all foreigners from the Qin Kingdom."
"What?! What kind of idiot said that!"
"Nearly all the clan entered the palace today, and then something happened."
Lu Buwei threw down all the fish food and walked out quickly, "Prepare my car and official uniform. I will go to meet the king right away."
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and asked, "What day is today?"
"Prime Minister, today is the last day of three months."
He hesitated twice and then ordered: "Go prepare the car and call the watchman to the door."
"promise."
Not long after, Lu Buwei, dressed in official uniform, stood behind the closed door of the mansion, staring at the door bolt.
Several servants are always ready to open the door.
The watchman stood aside with a nervous look on his face.
