Fusu married the daughter of Zuo Prime Minister Li Si. This is the most important news in the imperial court in recent times.
Even the Qilin Society in the north uprooted the human trafficking network centered on Guo Kai, and its actions spanned several counties, resulting in a total of thousands of deaths. Such a major case that shocked the country had a far greater impact on the hearts of the imperial ministers.
The eldest son’s wedding.
Qilin knows how to do it, let it go. His Majesty the Emperor agreed to let Fusu marry Li Si's daughter as his official wife. I'm afraid he didn't intend to make Fusu the crown prince.
For a time, there was an undercurrent in the imperial court.
…
In the Xianyang Palace, Li Si, who was about to become relatives with the emperor, was kneeling on the ground and bowing to the ground.
Next to him was Zhao Gao, who was lying lower.
"What a Jingping Lord! Qilin will grow so big in front of my eyes. Once there is an attack, officials from several counties are assassinated and more than ten people are killed. The total death toll is more than a thousand. I didn't know until Nongyu defected.
She has had a rebellious heart for a long time, and she hid it so deeply.
When I visited the east last year, all the counties were in peace, and there was no trace of the Qilin Society. Could it be that the Qilin Society's strength only developed in these short few months."
Ying Zheng had already become suspicious of the empire's local dominance, and the Qilin Society's power had been developing for at least several years, otherwise it would have been impossible to create such a big movement in a short period of time.
During my eastward tour last year, I passed through the Qilin Association's activities, but I didn't hear any news about it. The local officials here are really good at whitewashing the peace. There is even a high possibility that local officials and Qilin will collude.
Ying Zheng's anger was directed at the Qilin Society, at Nong Yu, at the local officials of Da Qin, and even more at Luo Wang, who monitored the entire Da Qin. The Qilin Society has grown to this scale. Could it be that Luo Wang was blind before!
The leaders of Luowen, Li Si and Zhao Gao, are both to blame.
After Ying Zheng became the first emperor, he immediately abolished the six-crown system of Zhou rites and took the lead in wearing the crown himself, no longer wearing the crown on his head.
Intuitively speaking, it is the curtain-like thing hanging from the hat in movies, TV dramas or animations. After Ying Zheng became the first emperor, he took it off and formulated a new regulation on wearing crowns, using a unified standard.
The previous seven countries had different crown systems.
Including Liu Bang later, who became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, he also had no crown.
This kind of thing may seem small, but it is a step that cannot be ignored in the process of practicing great unification.
Therefore, Ying Zheng now only wears a crown that reaches the sky, which is shaped like a mountain, with an upright front and an iron crown beam.
Without any obstruction, his face and eyes were completely displayed in the eyes of the courtiers. This would not damage his majesty, but would only make people feel more at ease when facing him.
Li Si and Zhao Gao knelt on the ground. Although His Majesty the Emperor had not yet directly questioned Luo Wang, they both knew that His Majesty's questioning with deep suspicion was a hundred times more dangerous than direct anger.
what to do?
Li Si and Zhao Gao reacted quickly and put all the blame on Nong Yu.
Jingping Jun Nongyu, as the widow of Lu Yan, the great master of the Qin Dynasty, has made great achievements in the country. If she had not defected, her status would definitely be at the top of the empire. Such a person is secretly detrimental to the empire, and even a trap cannot prevent her.
Even Nongyu was able to get some information about the eastern patrol route that Zhang Han, the commander of the Shadow Guard, was personally responsible for, allowing the Qilin Society to lurk at the right time. It can be seen that it was not Luo Wang who was too incompetent, but Nongyu who was too insidious.
The Eight Swords of Luowang Yue Wang controlled by Zhao Gao have been deployed to hunt down Gai Nie Wei Zhuang and the rebel forces in the south who are related to Wei Zhuang.
Now there is another Qilin Society led by Nongyu emerging in the north. This may be more harmful to the empire than the rebel forces in the south, and must be eradicated. The only ones the empire can send are the Seven Evil Swords of Luowang.
"South, North, troubled times."
With his hands behind his back, Ying Zheng walked to an erected map of the empire's territory. On the map, in the southeasternmost part of the empire's rule, there was a marked place - "Minzhong County".
After he unified the Central Plains and established the Qin Empire, the war did not stop, and the Baiyue land in the south had not yet been conquered, so the empire dispatched five armies totaling about 500,000 troops to launch a southern expedition.
The leading generals, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo, etc., are all generals who are very familiar with mountain and forest warfare.
The then vassal state of Nanyan Yue requested to be reduced to a county of Qin after the establishment of the Qin Empire. Queen Nanyan's army was also one of the five armies of the empire's southern expedition.
Nan Yan was born in Baiyue, and knew the habits of the Yue people well. She was not only skilled in military tactics, but also led some Yue tribes. During the southern expedition, she almost fought half and surrendered, and the other half surrendered. She was the fastest among the five armies to achieve success.
At this time, the Minzhong County in the southeast of the empire was established after Nanyan pacified the area. The other four armies were still trapped in the war.
The current empire supports hundreds of thousands of troops fighting every day, but various rebel forces have emerged within it. There is the Qilin Society in the north, quicksand in the south, and the Xiang family seems to have defected because of a Gai Nie. The empire was wiped out.
There are internal and external troubles.
"The Qilin Society has caused great harm. Li Si, it is up to you to deal with this organization personally."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Li Si takes the order."
Zhao Gao lay motionless on the ground, already feeling happy.
Dealing with Nongyu and Qilinhui is a fatal task. In addition to the opponent's combat power and intelligence, what is even more uncomfortable is Nongyu's reputation among the people.
Nowadays, the generation of the Qin Kingdom is in its prime. It can be said that they grew up in the legacy of the national teacher Lu Yan. As Lu Yan’s widow, Nongyu has her own halo blessing. What’s more, Nongyu has not been just waiting to die these years.
, she is worthy of the title "Jingping".
On the contrary, Li Si had some stigmas attached to him. For example, as a senior fellow, he was jealous of his younger brother and secretly plotted against him. He even specially made a Seven Evil Sword to show off his ability to compete with Lu Yanzi's Seven Swords. The rumors spread as if they were true.
After Li Si accepted the order, Ying Zheng turned his back and waved.
Zhao Gao and Li Si stood up carefully, grabbed the hems of their official uniforms, and retreated.
Ying Zheng, who was standing there, looked at the counties where the Qilin Association was active, and shouted softly into the air: "Sima Xin."
In the middle of the hall, a figure flashed down and said, "I am here."
"Local officials, as well as the people, are suspected of deliberately concealing the existence of the Qilin Society. Let me find out about this matter."
Sima Xin, wearing tight black clothes and light armor, carrying a long green sword, knelt on the ground with one knee and clasped his fists to accept the order, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After years of development, the Shadow Guard has three major commanders, namely: Zhang Han, Dong Yi, and Sima Xin.
First of all, these three people are absolutely loyal. Their strength and intelligence are all the best choices. After experiencing the strengthening of Zhenren Dan, to a certain extent, they are even stronger than Luo Wang Tianzi Yiyi.
With so many things in the empire piled up, Ying Zheng gradually felt that he was running out of manpower. Well, it should be said that the manpower he could trust was somewhat stretched.
