Chapter seven hundred and seventy-third discussion, set things right
Western Region, Loulan City, the original Loulan King's Palace, now in the Shuhou Beifu Square.
Lin Ze stood on a newly built high platform. Standing under the platform were hundreds of civil servants and generals with an official rank of fifth rank or above who had come under orders.
You must know that Lin Ze has given a death order, so naturally no one will test the law.
There are only five people in the front row of the audience. From right to left, they are Han Xin, Chen Ping, Wu Fan, Zhang Han and Yu Ziqi.
In order of military merit, Han Xin is the leader.
Lin Ze's gaze swept across the entire audience, but everyone he came into contact with lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.
Lin Ze's move was naturally not to show off his majesty, but to check everyone's luck.
Looking around, Han Xin has the highest luck, half of it is red and purple.
The four of them, Chen Ping, are both red and purple, which is a lot worse than Han Xin.
Among the hundreds of other civil servants and generals, not to mention none of them are purple, not even all red. At most, they are just a touch of red. Even more than half of them have yellow luck.
After a rough scan, Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh, even though he knew the situation was not going to be too good. There was still a long way to go.
But today’s topic is not about luck, but about something else.
Lin Ze took a deep breath and said loudly: "Do you know why I have summoned everyone this time?"
When the officials heard this, they looked at each other and looked at each other, a little confused.
Seeing this, Wu Fan quickly stood up and said loudly: "No matter what the Marquis orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
The quick-thinking official suddenly had an idea and said loudly: "Please give me your instructions."
Lin Ze looked at the crowd with a sad look on his face and said, "Do you know that the national crisis is at hand?"
Everyone was even more confused now. Zhang Er was confused as to what Lin Ze wanted to express.
Lin Ze maintained a sad look on his face and continued: "Have you heard about the resurrection of the late emperor and his return to power?"
Lin Ze suddenly mentioned this, and there was a lot of discussion in the audience. Emperor Qin's imperial edict was sent to the Western Regions, how could he not know about it?
"This is fake. How can a person be resurrected after death? The former emperor was not resurrected at all. The one who is giving orders in Chang'an now was disguised by someone else with the purpose of stealing our country, Qin Dynasty."
As soon as this statement came out, the audience immediately became excited. His majesty, who had returned from the resurrection, was actually a lie?
How can this be?
Lin Ze didn't care too much and continued: "Now that the thieves have successfully stolen the throne and imprisoned the new emperor Hu Hai, our country and the Qin Dynasty are in danger. Do you know?"
Speaking of this, someone couldn't help but asked loudly: "Is there any evidence to prove what Mr. Hou said?"
Lin Ze replied in a deep voice: "I can prove this."
"A few months ago, when I heard that the late emperor was resurrected, I had some doubts. For this reason, I specially gave you an order. If the late emperor conquers the Western Regions, if he can escape, he will flee. If he can't, he will surrender."
"But in line with the idea that it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist, I personally went to Chang'an to meet with the late emperor in order to prove the truth and falsehood."
"After getting along several times, I suddenly discovered that no matter how similar this person pretends to be, it cannot change the fact that he is an impostor."
The person who spoke could not deny it and replied: "In the final analysis, it is still the Marquis's guess. The Marquis has no concrete evidence to prove that the late Emperor is someone else's counterfeit."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "This prince is still alive, which is proof."
Everyone looked at Lin Ze with puzzled faces.
Lin Ze chuckled and said, "Have you never heard that in order to help the new emperor Hu Hai ascend the throne, I secretly ordered an assassin to assassinate Mr. Fusu?"
"I would like to ask, given the character of the late emperor, when faced with the enemy of this prince who killed his son, he did not ask the guilt, but instead promoted me to a higher rank. Do you think it is normal?"
"If you think about it carefully, a man with great military exploits such as Lord Wu'an would be executed by the late emperor for treason because he did not respect the imperial edict. However, as the late emperor's enemy who killed his son, I can be spared. Is this normal?"
"I am standing here today, isn't it a proof of reality?"
When everyone heard this, their discussions immediately disappeared and they became silent.
Are there any fools who have climbed up from the bottom who can't even understand what they are saying?
After Lin Ze's words, no matter how loyal he was to the Qin State, he couldn't help but believe it.
Because this is human nature.
Let alone someone as talented and strategic as the late emperor, even they could not easily let go of their murderer.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, if they had the power of Emperor Qin, they would only kill their enemies and not even spare one of the nine clans.
Seeing this, Lin Ze struck while the iron was hot and said, "Besides, the late emperor had issued a decree to pass the throne to his son Hu Hai. If the late emperor was really resurrected, how could he be so eager to seize the throne from his current majesty?"
"Only a thieves posing as the late emperor who peeked into the country of Da Qin would do such an abnormal act on the first day."
"Are you all going to be kept in the dark and let our country, the Qin Dynasty, fall into the hands of thieves?"
"cannot!"
Several people in the audience suddenly shouted loudly: "We will never allow the country of Qin to be occupied by thieves."
In fact, needless to say, Lin Ze said that everyone was somewhat suspicious of Emperor Qin's death and resurrection.
It is true that Emperor Qin had great talent and great strategy, but it would be too surprising to be resurrected from the dead.
Although Emperor Qin compares himself to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, he has never heard of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors being able to resurrect from the dead.
In addition, Lin Ze already has a high prestige in the minds of everyone.
After some words, everyone believed at least seven to eight points.
Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "The thieves are rampant and dare to steal my land of Qin so blatantly. How dare I ask Lord Marquis, what should we do?"
Lin Ze looked around at everyone and said slowly: "I wanted to pretend to surrender to him, first rescue the second emperor, and then try to bring order to the chaos. But the traitor is so powerful that I have never been able to find a chance."
"A few days ago, I received a secret report that the traitor wanted to secretly get rid of the second emperor in order to avoid permanent trouble."
"I have thought about it carefully, and instead of letting the thief get carried away and get carried away, it is better to make his evil deeds public so that he will not dare to attack easily."
"In a few days, I will pray to heaven and earth, lead the troops to stand on my own feet, drive out the traitors, welcome the second emperor, and bring order to the chaos. I hope you will help me."
As soon as these words came out, dozens of people immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "I and others are willing to obey the order of the Marquis, lead the troops to stand on their own feet, and bring order to the chaos."
Seeing that someone took the lead, the rest of the people gradually followed and knelt down together.
A quarter of an hour later, except for Lin Ze, there was no one else standing in the field.
Lin Ze looked calm, as expected, the matter was completed.
On the matter of independence, Lin Ze and Chen Ping discussed for a long time and finally decided on this method.
In the name of Qin, he rebelled against Qin, and in the name of loyal ministers, he committed treacherous acts.
Lin Ze and Chen Ping carefully analyzed the pros and cons of openly opposing Qin and proclaiming themselves king. The answer is that the cons outweigh the pros.
It is naturally good to openly oppose Qin without any restrictions.
But all the people under Lin Ze were from Qin. They were loyal to him openly, but secretly there were many who cherished Qin.
If Lin Ze really wants to rebel openly, he will definitely lose a lot of people's hearts, and there may even be civil strife, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Moreover, in the barren land of the Western Region, Lin Ze simply did not have enough interests to impress his subordinates.
How can a person who risks his life to gain a future be willing to stay in the desert for the rest of his life? Who doesn’t admire prosperity?
It is no problem to stay in the Western Region for a period of time and accumulate merit and qualifications. After a long time, people's hearts will definitely change.
Lin Ze has no intention of confronting Emperor Qin head-on in the short term.
With Buddhism and Confucianism at the forefront, Lin Ze would go crazy and fight to the death with Emperor Qin, letting others benefit, and vice versa.
But since Lin Ze proposed to correct the chaos and welcome Hu Hai, he must return to Chang'an.
At least they have something to think about.
Moreover, Lin Ze concluded that Emperor Qin was immortal and had plans, and would definitely not return the throne to Hu Hai.
Lin Ze can keep using this excuse.
The only drawback is that Lin Ze cannot claim the title of king or emperor before the world is established.
But Lin Ze had no intention of doing this, he just wanted to get some luck.
Moreover, Lin Ze specifically asked Zhuang Zhou that as long as he offered sacrifices to the heaven and earth and declared his independence, he did not necessarily have to proclaim himself king.
