Seeing Ying Zheng's face, all the civil and military officials did not dare to discuss in private. Instead, they stood straight and kowtowed to Ying Zheng.
Without saying a word, Ying Zheng walked to the throne indifferently, sat down coldly, and looked down at the ministers before him.
Under Ying Zheng's gaze, all the ministers in the court could not help but shiver, feeling a chill.
"Read it to them…"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said in an incomparably cold tone.
Following that, a eunuch beside him read out the memorial that Ba Jun had just sent over.
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they were furious. They wished that they could kill those rioters in Ba County.
"Who can tell me why the drought in Ba County lasted for three years, and only now did a memorial reach my hands?”
Seeing the expressions of all the ministers, Ying Zheng snorted coldly in disdain. He had seen too much of the art of keeping up appearances.
After a cold snort, his palm slammed heavily on the armrest of the throne, making an ear-piercing sound.
Ying Zheng was enraged. Immediately, the ministers who had just stood up knelt down on the ground again, trembling and not daring to say anything.
"King... Your Majesty... Previously, the Governor of Ba County was a student of Prime Minister Lu Buwei. These officials really didn't know!!”
A minister knelt on the ground and moved his body to the center of the hall shyly as he stammered.
The reason why he had come forward was entirely because Ba Jun was also under his control. If Ying Zheng really wanted to pursue this matter, he knew that he had escaped from the blame. Instead of being found out by Ying Zheng, he might as well speak up and reduce his guilt.
Hearing this minister's words, all the civil and military officials in the court understood what he meant. This matter was completely suppressed by Lu Buwei when he was still in power, so that Ying Zheng would not know about it.
In fact, this was indeed the case. When Lu Buwei was in power, he had covered the sky with one hand and dared to do anything that benefited him.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials looked at the officials kneeling in the middle of the hall, then at Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne. They couldn't stop drooling, deeply afraid that they would be punished by Ying Zheng if they were involved in this matter.
"It's Lu Buwei again. He really knows how to harm Great Qin.。。”
Ying Zheng gave a cold snort. After knowing the whole story, the anger in his heart had also subsided a little.
But in the next moment, Ying Zheng looked at the minister kneeling in the middle of the hall again and said in an inviolable and cold tone,""Although this matter was caused by Lu Buwei, Ba County is still under your control. You can't escape responsibility.”
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, the ministers kneeling in the middle of the hall felt their hearts turn ashen, but they felt lucky.
Even if he didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of skin, and at the very least, he would have to stay in bed for more than half a year. But even so, it was as if Ying Zheng had dragged him out and beheaded him in a fit of anger.
"Yes!"
The minister in the middle of the hall kowtowed three times in a row, then stood up and cupped his hands in front of Ying Zheng, then walked out of the Xianyang Palace.
At this point, Ying Zheng slowly sat on the throne again, looked at all the officials and said,""Do you have any solution to the matter in Ba County?”
As soon as these words were spoken, a chaotic discussion immediately broke out in the court.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the actions of the Ba County citizens are rioting, and Great Qin should send troops to suppress them. Those who refuse to obey should be punished on the spot to warn the evil cult!!”
"Lord Zhao is right; Great Qin is powerful, and now is the perfect time to show off Great Qin's might to those evil sects!!”
"I agree with Lord Zhao!”
"I agree!" (Agreed: That's what I mean.)
"I also agree!"
......
As soon as Lord Zhao said this, all the civil and military officials stood up and expressed their thoughts, as if this was the best way to deal with this matter.
Just as everyone agreed with Lord Zhao's forceful suppression, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out from the Imperial Court.
The laughter was filled with ridicule, causing all the officials in the court to be surprised. They all turned to look at the source of the laughter.
The laughter came from Li Si, who was ranked fifth in the third last row.
Li Si's talent and learning could be considered outstanding among the many scholars, but the best official position he could get in the examination could only reach the fifth rank. Therefore, Li Si replaced one of Lu Buwei's students who was in charge of Xianyang City. It was also because of this that Li Si could squeeze into Xianyang Palace.
"Lord Li, what do you mean?"
Seeing Li Si suddenly burst into laughter, everyone was extremely confused. Only one person was extremely angry. It was Lord Zhao, who had announced the suppression of the rioting people in Ba County.
Lord Zhao glared at Li Si fiercely as if he wanted to eat him alive.
In fact, it was not difficult to understand. After he made his statement, he suddenly heard someone else laugh. No matter who it was, they would think that this was a kind of mockery and an insult.
"Lord Zhao, blindly suppressing the people of Ba County will only cause the hearts of the people to fall apart. Therefore, I think that suppressing the people of Ba County is not a good plan!!”
Li Si first looked at Lord Zhao and said in a calm tone. Although Lord Zhao's official position in the court was much higher than his, Li Si was still fearless. Then, he turned slightly to look at Ying Zheng, ignoring the gazes of the surrounding civil and military officials, and told them his thoughts.
Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng began to hesitate. He felt that what Li Si and Lord Zhao said made sense, and it was really difficult to make a decision.
"Lord Li, according to what you said, if the hearts of the people are not lost, then how can we restrain those evil sects and rebels? If they didn't send troops to suppress them, the people of Ba County would only become even worse.”
Lord Zhao still insisted on his own direction. Firstly, he really felt that his own method was the best solution. Secondly, it was for his own face.
"I feel that Lord Li's words are not without reason.”
"I think Lord Zhao's words are more practical.”
"I also think that Lord Zhao's method is the fastest way to resolve the chaos in Ba County.”
......
All of a sudden, the officials in the court were divided into two sides. One side supported Lord Zhao's words, while the other side thought that what Li Si said made sense.
Immediately, both sides engaged in a heated debate, but there was no result for a long time. However, most of the civil and military officials still supported Lord Zhao's idea.
At this moment, Qin Feng slowly walked out from the inner court of Xianyang Palace. He was still dressed in white, appearing exceptionally refined. His face was still expressionless, but his eyes seemed to be filled with spiritual energy, causing people to feel a sense of admiration when they saw Qin Feng.
When all the officials saw Qin Feng end his long and fruitless argument, they all bowed to him.
Ying Zheng even stood up and came to Qin Feng's side, his face full of smiles, as if he was a child who would never grow up, completely devoid of the majesty that had intimidated the imperial court before.
" Let's do as Li Si says!!"
Qin Feng slowly walked up to the imperial court and spoke.
Everyone in the court was shocked. No one had expected Qin Feng, who had killed Lu Buwei, to agree with Li Si, who had just entered the court.
Other than being surprised, the officials were also puzzled, but they didn't dare to say anything about Qin Feng.
"Young Master Feng, I don't understand. What's the use of pacifying the people of Ba County?”
In the end, Lord Zhao stood up and said.
Qin Feng did not even look at Lord Zhao. Instead, he turned to look at Li Si and said,""Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!”
Hearing Qin Feng's words, everyone was even more shocked. No one expected Qin Feng to have such foresight. Li Si even bowed respectfully to Qin Feng to show his respect.
"Young Master Feng, do you have a good plan for the chaos in Ba County?”
" Please tell me, Young Master..."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Lord Zhao was also convinced.
Now, there were no longer any factions of Lu Buwei in the royal court, and all of them were loyal and patriotic officials. The previous arguments were all for Great Qin.
Seeing Qin Feng like this, Lord Zhao couldn't help but ask for a good plan for the chaos in Ba County.
When the ministers heard Lord Zhao's words, they all bowed, hoping that Qin Feng would come up with a plan to help.
"Rain!"
Qin Feng indifferently said the word 'rain'. Then, he suddenly turned around and walked into the inner court, leaving all the officials standing there in confusion.
