Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 314 Yin Tong’s thoughts! (twenty four)

Dun weakly stroked his beard, his eyes were very calm.

He has noticed it.

With His Majesty's change of direction, there will be a lot of changes inside and outside the court. He noticed it, and Yao Jia also noticed it, so he took the initiative to offer suggestions this time in order to please Your Majesty as much as possible and avoid himself in the future. Got into an embarrassing situation in the court.

He has made many mistakes in taking charge of the Yushi Mansion.

Especially in the previous cleanup of officials near Yunmeng, all the nearby censors had troubles without exception. As a censor, he could not escape the blame, so he was basically cautious in his words and deeds during this period, and he never took the initiative to speak out again. In my mind, I just want to retreat safely.

But after hearing Yao Jia's idea just now, he finally decided to say a few more words.

To show his loyalty to Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at Dun Rui with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean, Ai Qing?"

Dunwei cupped his hands and said: "Yao Dianke's suggestion is excellent, but there are still some details that should be paid attention to."

"Yin Tong, Li Mo and others have been in the local area for many years and know a lot about the local situation. If the news that the imperial court launched an attack on the remnants of the Six Kingdoms on the grounds of 'the emperor's spirit in the southeast' is revealed to them, they will definitely understand quickly. come over."

"Just like Yao Dianke said."

"Yin Tong and other officials are probably still in contact with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

"Perhaps when the imperial court takes action, they will immediately send a message to inform them of the imperial court's actions. They may even regard all of this as being forced to do nothing. In the end, the remnants of the Six Nations will indeed be very angry and dissatisfied. But the relationship between the two may not be able to be eased.”

"Because the benefits are still there."

"And because of the imperial court's intervention, the number of local nobles has decreased, and the remaining nobles can get more."

"even."

"It is also possible that the remnant of the Six Kingdoms who are close to Yin Tong and others deliberately used the power of the imperial court to harm other nobles in order to annex and suppress dissidents. When the matter is over, the power of the remnant of the Six Kingdoms in Kanto will indeed be much smaller, but If there are dozens of scattered companies from the beginning to a few dominant ones, this may not be effective for the imperial court."

"Although that's not very likely."

"But I have to guard against it."

"And as long as Yin Tong and others explain it properly, it may not be impossible to temporarily expose this matter."

"So I think there should be a follow-up."

"The next step for me is to inform Yin Tong and others about the matter. If they still send the message secretly, it means that these people also have hidden selfish motives and are deeply colluded with the remnants of the Six Nations. They will not care about this matter at all. As for the change, if they learn the news but choose to stand still and let the court take action, it will prove that Yin Tong and others are indeed not of the same mind as the remnants of the Six Nations."

"Knowing the news in advance but not telling the remnants of the Six Nations, no matter how you defend yourself in the end, it will be a thorn in the heart of the remnants of the Six Nations."

"Besides, this is the goodwill released by the imperial court."

"Let him make up for his mistakes."

"The imperial court has given such obvious intentions. They will definitely be able to react and work more carefully for the imperial court in the future."

"This is what I think. Your Majesty, please consider it."

He bowed weakly and slowly and sat back on the table.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and quite agreed with Dunwei's suggestion.

"What do the other beloved ministers think?" Ying Zheng asked.

Li Sidao: "I believe that the words of the imperial censor are honest words and should be adopted."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"."

Other courtiers also agreed.

"Since all my dear friends have no objections, I will also accept it." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

With the opening of Yao Jia and Dunruo, the imperial court has taken effective measures to deal with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms recruited by Yin Tong and other officials.

soon.

It was decided to eradicate the remnants of the six countries hidden in the mountains, lakes and seas.

Led by Yang Duanhe and Tao She, they led nearly ten thousand troops, all of them scattered towards the nearby mountains and rivers.

As for whether Yin Tong had tipped off the information in advance or had colluded with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms long ago, neither Ying Zheng nor the ministers questioned it, because the imperial court would interrogate these captured remnants of the Six Nations. If the number of remnants of the country is too small, or there are not many big families, then Yin Tong and others will definitely be blamed.

No matter how bold Yin Tong is, he will never make fun of his own life.

into the night.

Yin Tong stayed up all night.

He had already arranged for all his servants to leave.

Always keep an eye on the court's every move. Whenever there is any sign of the court sending troops, they will immediately send people to inform the Xiang family and other wealthy families. At the same time, they will also attach a letter to explain the change, and try their best to put themselves out there. Take it out and blame the officials who were caught for the problem.

at this time.

There was a sudden knock on Yin Tong's door.

Yin Tong, who was not sleepy, heard the knock on the door. The hairs all over his body stood up instantly, and his whole body became tense. He subconsciously wanted to ask his servants to open the door, but then he thought of something. He was worried that it was a noble from the Six Nations. Sending someone over here gave me an extra perspective.

He went to the door by himself.

Yin Tong shouted outside the house: "Who is knocking on the door outside?"

"Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC." A cold voice came from outside the door.

heard.

Yin Tong was stunned.

But I don't know why Zhao Gao came here.

His eyes moved rapidly, and in just a few breaths, he thought about everything that might happen to him, but he still didn't expect why Zhao Gao would come to him?Could it be that His Majesty is dissatisfied with the roster given by himself and others?Want to catch yourself?
Thinking of this.

Yin Tong felt completely uneasy.

With a feeling of uneasiness, he opened the door of the house.

"Yin Tong. I have seen the orders of the CRRC government, but I don't know the orders of the CRRC government. Why did you come to see me in the middle of the night?" Yin Tong asked tremblingly.

Zhao Gao looked Yin Tong up and down, obviously Yin Tong was nervous.

He sneered and said calmly: "There is no need to be nervous, Sheriff. Your Majesty is very satisfied with the bamboo slip you presented. Considering that you are a first offender and are not deeply involved with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, you will continue to serve as a local official in the future. Therefore, After discussing with a group of ministers, we decided not to make the list public."

"Ah?" Yin Tong was stunned.

Zhao Gao's words were completely beyond Yin Tong's expectations.

Even unexpected.

But he was also a little confused. If the imperial court didn't take action against the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, why would your Majesty be so busy?
But Yin Tong still had tears of gratitude on his face. He bowed deeply towards the palace where the First Emperor lived, and said gratefully: "I am grateful to your Majesty for your understanding, and I am ashamed of your Majesty."

Zhao Gao watched coldly from the side.

When Yin Tong had finished speaking, he continued: "It is true that the imperial court will not take action based on that list, but it does not mean that it will not take action against the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms have always been a serious problem for the court and continue to be allowed to wander around Guandong. , will only worsen the situation in Kanto, so it must be eradicated."

"Then" Yin Tong's eyes were full of surprise and doubt, and then he thought of something. He was suddenly startled and asked tentatively: "Does the imperial court have more detailed information on the whereabouts of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?" Zhao Gao said coldly: "You are not needed here. Asked about it.”

"The official made a mistake." Yin Tong said quickly.

Zhao Gao snorted coldly and was a little dissatisfied with Yin Tong's attitude, but he still said in a deep voice: "I came here this time to convey a message on my behalf. This incident is regarded as meritorious service. Your Majesty will not pursue too much. Moreover, Since you have a good attitude and His Majesty doesn't want to embarrass you, he discussed it with the courtiers and decided to clear out the land of Wu and Yue this time. On the grounds that "there is a spirit of emperor in the southeast", these remnants of the Six Kingdoms were sent here by themselves. How can the court not use the excuse?"

"The county guard should be able to understand the intention behind this."

Yin Tong's expression froze.

He glanced at Zhao Gao suspiciously for a few times, then thought about it in his mind, then seemed to react, and said with a bit of surprise on his face: "I understand."

"Please ask the chief official to return to Your Majesty for me."

"I am devoted to Qin. I will never make peace with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and I will never give any cover."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

heard.

Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's good to know. It's getting late. The county guard should rest early. I also want to pass this news to other officials."

Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Yin Tong's heart was moved and he asked, "Besides the lower official, who else knows the inside story?"

Zhao Gao looked at Yin Tong with a deep look, as if he was having some troubles, and said slowly: "As for other officials in your county, you people are quite good at observing people's words. When you saw that Your Majesty intended to rectify the administration of Guandong officials, you immediately After changing the rudder, I still know how to pass the blame on the remnants of the Six Nations."

"You guys are really scheming."

heard.

Yin Tong did not dare to answer, and said with a smile: "The official is joking, the official really didn't know about this before, and this is indeed the official's oversight."

Zhao Gao snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and left without saying any more.

Yin Tong watched Zhao Gao go away.

When Zhao Gao was out of sight, Yin Tong's eyes darkened.

He pondered Zhao Gao's words over and over again, but he was a little undecided.

Yin Tong whispered: "Is the imperial court really here to rectify the officialdom this time? And from what this eunuch said, the imperial court has already let us go. At least it will not blame us too much. Even if there is punishment, it will not cause any harm. Life, this is good news, I can feel relieved."

"But from what I heard, the imperial court seems to appreciate our 'abandoning the dark and turning to the bright', and is even willing to protect us."

Yin Tong touched his chin, a little confused.

He goes back to the house.

Close the door tightly.

During this period of time, he gradually came back to his senses.

Yin Tong said solemnly: "The imperial court may have deliberately revealed this information to us to test our reaction. If we had sent the message according to the original plan, I am afraid that we would not be able to escape the eyes of the imperial court at all. But if we did not send the message, it would mean Then, the nobles of the Six Nations will suffer a great deal. If it is discovered that we did not inform us in advance, the nobles of the Six Nations may be jealous of us. By then, the incompatibility between us and the nobles of Guandong will become even more incompatible."

"The imperial court has such a deep plan."

"This is because we don't want to ease the relationship between us and the nobles of the Six Nations."

"I want to use this excuse to tear the relationship between us apart, so that we can only serve the court with honor."

Yin Tong quickly figured out the situation.

He sneered.

I don't think so in my heart.

But he readily accepted the court's approach.

Rather than completely turning to the imperial court, the imperial court took the initiative to cover up for them, which was more to their liking. In this way, they also had an excuse to deal with the nobles of the Six Nations to avoid trouble for these nobles Ji Heng in the future. They were even the nobles of the Six Nations in Guandong. With great influence, if they are really pushed hard, these people can do anything.

but
Thinking of what Zhao Gaolin said before leaving, Yin Tong looked a little solemn.

Because Zhao Gao said clearly that this time the court came to rectify the officialdom, which meant that the court came for them. It was just that they were worried that something would happen to them and led the disaster to the nobles of the six countries in advance. This news If the nobles of the six countries knew about it, they would definitely not let them go.

But Yin Tong also knew it.

Neither he nor other officials who learned the news would disclose the matter to the nobles of the six countries.

Would they put themselves in danger?
immediately.

Yin Tong's eyes narrowed.

Since the imperial court is willing to cover up for them, do they still need to tell the nobles of the six countries?

Yin Tong was thinking in his mind.

If you send a message, you will not only be easily targeted by the court, but you will only get burned. After all, sending someone to notify the cancellation is not the same risk as sending someone to notify the nobles of the six countries. The former only needs to send someone to notify the people who have been arranged earlier. But the latter wanted to spread the word himself.

And
It seems that the imperial court will not disclose the specific contents of the roster, which means that the outside world does not know the specific contents. Zhao Gao said that the imperial court came to rectify the officialdom, which can also be used to defend them. They knew that the imperial court The attack was so menacing that in the end they had to cut off their wrists and surrender these people in order to protect themselves, but they did not reveal any information about the nobles of the six countries.

The reason why they got into trouble was discovered secretly by the imperial court.

Nothing to do with them.

What's more, with so many officials in Kuaiji counties having troubles, why would the nobles of the six countries have any reason to blame them?

Think of this.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yin Tong's mouth.

The nobles of the Six Kingdoms spread rumors themselves and eventually caused trouble. This is their own fault.

On the contrary, they were implicated.

Thinking of this.

Yin Tong's mind completely calmed down.

He didn't worry about the life and death of the nobles of the six countries at all.

They are just some bereaved dogs. If he had not gained a lot of influence in the local area and had connections with many officials, how could he, the magistrate of the county, look at their faces?Now that the imperial court has taken action to completely suppress the arrogance of the nobles of the six countries, he can actually strengthen his control over the local area.

Again.

It's not that they don't want to spread the message, but because of the government's surveillance, they don't dare to spread it to the outside world.

As for whether the nobles of the six countries would confess themselves in prison after being arrested, Yin Tong was not worried at all. From Zhao Gao's words, he had already heard that the court would not punish him for this, but instead wanted to use him to check and balance the six countries. The nobles of the country are in a situation where they are the weakest in the country, so no matter how much the nobles of the six countries bite him, as long as he firmly refuses to admit it, nothing will happen to him.

This is the true meaning of Zhao Gaolai's message.

He has figured it all out.

Yin Tong raised his head, looked at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and was wary of something unexpected happening. He quickly sent someone to notify other officials and asked them to go to the county government later for a meeting.

He had something important to discuss, and the sooner the better.

If it’s too late, things will change easily!
