Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 648 The Qin court meeting
  In the main car in the center of the motorcade, Brother Fu Nian was sitting in it.

Fu Nian looked seriously and was telling Yan Lu something:
  "Junior brother, I don't know if there will be any danger during this trip to Xianyang. You must be careful."

Yan Lu shook his head and said, "Brother, don't worry, I understand."

Fu Nian nodded slightly and continued in a deep voice, "You are smart and precocious, and you always have ideas and know how to advance and retreat. However, during this trip to Xianyang, you must remember not to leave my side, let alone act on your own initiative."

"If there is anything that needs to be done, please tell me first and I will arrange it."

"Everything will naturally be arranged by senior brother." Yan Lu naturally nodded obediently and agreed.

Fu Nian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, "Well... just write it down."

He still trusts Yan Lu. Although this junior fellow apprentice is young, he is calm and calm in his work, and he also abides by the rules. Since he has complied with his words, he will definitely not act randomly.

The rest is what he, the leader, needs to do.

Before leaving, Xunzi made a special trip to Fu Nian and left some instructions. The main content was to ask Fu Nian to reduce Yan Lu's presence as much as possible, not to let others notice him, and not to let him act alone from the large army.

From Fu Nian's current perspective, these aspects are relatively simple. The only remaining problem is what Yan Lu needs to do after arriving in Xianyang.

Until now, Yan Lu has not told Fu Nian what he wants to do, and Fu Nian has not asked.

I just hope there won’t be too many twists and turns...

………………

The day after Qi Wangjian was attacked, this news was rushed back to Xianyang, causing shock to the government and the public.

Assassinating the king and killing the driver is the most serious felony in the world. Even if the person who is assassinated is the king of Qi, it is still a big case for the Qin State. It is even more embarrassing than the assassination of their own king.

Naturally, this was the first thing that was brought up at the meeting.

Xiong Qi, the right prime minister of Changping, was the first to speak. He was not in a hurry to investigate the responsibility or catch the culprit. Instead, he suggested, "Your Majesty, although the attack on King Qi this time is not serious, we must guard against thieves." To make a comeback, I feel that we should mobilize the Dongjun border troops south as soon as possible to ensure that King Qi returns home safely."

After Changping Jun finished speaking, he was followed by a lot of echoes. Some simply followed what Changping Jun Xiong Qi said, while others agreed with Xiong Qi's point of view.

The safety of King Qi is the most important thing, and arrangements must be made in advance.

Ying Zheng's gaze passed through the beaded curtain and swept across His Highness's ministers, and he replied solemnly, "The King of Qi is traveling, and I am sending them off with a large army. It would be a loss of etiquette. It is better to order the Imperial Guards to increase their manpower and strengthen precautions." "

Ying Zheng rejected Chang Pingjun's proposal.

You can say it's appropriate, it's appropriate, you can say it's inappropriate, it's not appropriate, it depends on what aspect you consider.

It would be unseemly to send a large army to escort, and given the lessons learned from a certain King Huai of Chu, it would make people think too much. However, if a large army is not sent, there will be security risks.

Xiong Qi pondered for a moment and then said, "Qin and Qi have been friends for many years. Your Majesty and His Majesty the King of Qi had a very happy conversation before. I think... it is better to put safety first."

Ying Zheng refused again and said decisively, "Just let this matter be settled as it is, there is no need to discuss it further."

King Qin has spoken, and no one dares to say anything more. After all, the king's power is supreme... Of course, the premise is that the power is in the hands of the king.

"I accept your order." Xiong Qi bowed and withdrew from the queue. There was no need for him, the Prime Minister, to specifically start the next topic.

"Your Majesty..." As Xiong Qi withdrew and was in charge of the judicial trial, Tingwei Li Si, who was in charge of the prison law and order, stepped forward and spoke, "When the King of Qi was assassinated, he was in charge of the command of the imperial guards, as well as the Yin Jin, Yang Jin, and Pu If Ban and other county guards fail to perform their duties, they will be recalled to Xianyang for punishment."

"The identity of the person behind the crime must also be investigated strictly to uphold the law of the country."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Let the matter be investigated by Tingwei and Guowei together."

"I accept my order." Li nodded and returned to the queue. Guo Wei Liao, who was called out at this time, stepped forward and said, "I have already found some clues about this matter."

"explain."

Wei Liao spoke unhurriedly, "The assassins were from Baiyue, and they were all Baiyue wizards. However, they were obviously not the instigators, maybe they were just hired thugs. The instigators should not be able to circumvent the Shandong kingdoms. , among which... haha, there must be a contribution from Chu State."

"Except for Chu, the three Jin countries may not be able to clear their suspicions."

After listening to Wei Liao's words, many people couldn't help but turn their attention to Han Fei, the ninth prince of South Korea, and Xiong Qi, the right minister of Changping, who was born in the Chu clan.

According to what Guo Wei said, these two people are related to the suspects.

Seeing that it had affected him, Han Fei had no choice but to make a few excuses casually, "His Majesty the King of Qin has learned clearly that we, South Korea, have always regarded Qin as a friend of the superior country, and there is absolutely no way we can do such a heinous act."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and did not comment on Han Fei's words.

As for Xiong Qi, he didn't make any move, just remained silent.

He is a minister of Qin and the right prime minister of Qin. This kind of shit can't be blamed on him. He only needs to be silent in response.

After Wei Liao finished speaking, he stood aside with a smile, silently observing the reactions of others.

What he just said was all nonsense.

He knew the plans of Ying Zheng and the Yin Yang family, and he should even be considered one of the planners.

However, everyone knows that after he took office as a lieutenant, he vigorously developed espionage and espionage. This assassination was quite powerful. It would be inappropriate for him not to reveal something. His own king would definitely not be able to do so, so he would have to find some scapegoat. .

The Chu State is the best choice. It has a bad relationship with the Qin State, a bad relationship with the Qi State, and there is still a piece of territory in Baiyue - if it is not your head, who should be blamed?

And since you have chosen to frame the blame, you don't have to stick to one country and one family. You must be more supportive. In this way, the Zhao State of the Three Jin Dynasties, which is at war with the Qin State and has a bad relationship with the Qi State, So he was hung up.

The three Jins were all in the same spirit, so Wei Liao simply blocked them all together. Han Fei was the one who was accidentally affected by him - but this unintentional incident happened to become a reason for others later.

Ying Zheng was clear in his heart, and Wei Liao was clinging to him randomly, but he was also happy to see the results. These were all excuses for sending troops to attack other countries in the future.

Mianqi shook slightly, and Ying Zheng said, "This matter must be investigated to the end."

"Old minister, I will fulfill my duty loyally." Wei Liao nodded, bowed and accepted the order to retreat.

At this point, the assassination of King Qi in the court has come to an end for the time being.

However, outside the court, it is estimated that there will be heated discussions for some time. The assassination of the king is a rare thing even in the current situation where there are seven kings in the world, and the people will be keen to use it as a talking point.

The court meeting has not yet ended, and officials from various departments are still reporting matters that need to be discussed in court, and the King of Qin and other important ministers will discuss and make decisions.

Ying Zheng holds court meetings almost every day. There is no accumulation of such things, and there are usually very few. This session will naturally end soon.

Then comes the finale of the court meetings these days - the verbal dispute between two legal experts with Confucian origins.

For all the officials in the palace, this is still interesting.

　I'm going blind!

　　md, the monitor will arrive the day after tomorrow, Goudong is really unreliable at the critical moment...
