"Sweeping Monk, stand guard outside the room. No one is allowed to approach the room.”He turned his head and said to the sweeping monk.
"Yes, sir!" The sweeping monk replied. His narrowed eyes opened slightly, revealing the sharpness within. A hint of vigilance flashed across his entire face.
The Sweeping Monk was the big BOSS of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons. He was able to defeat powerhouses like Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan, and his abilities were at mythical sixth stage.
With him protecting the Prime Minister's estate, it was extremely safe. Any enemy who came to invade would pay the price in blood.
"Ge Nia, wait outside." Ying Zheng ordered Ge Nia.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ge Nia replied.
Su Cheng and Ying Zheng came into the room.
"Imperial Preceptor, I agree with what you said during the day.”
"At present, the Great Qin Empire has Lao Ai, Lu Buwei, and other powerful ministers. They have established their own forces and have many followers.”
"Although the Great Qin Empire has many valiant generals and powerful soldiers, the Imperial Court is not stable, and I am not at ease.”
Ying Zheng went straight to the point, a grave look appearing on his face.
He only had one purpose for coming here tonight, and that was to ask the Imperial Advisor how to get rid of Lu Buwei and the other powerful officials.
During the day in the carriage, there were many ears and eyes, so it was not convenient to discuss these confidential matters. He held it in for the whole day, wanting to wait until night to discuss this matter with the state preceptor.
"Your Majesty, the most powerful official in the court is Lu Buwei.”
Su Cheng said indifferently.
After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.
Lu Buwei's current power was so great that he could even influence the king's orders.
Many officials had been promoted by Lu Buwei.
It could be said that Lu Buwei's power alone occupied half of the royal court!
In fact, many times, even if he was the ruler of a country, he had no choice but to lower his head to him.
This was also a thorn in Ying Zheng's heart that he wanted to remove at all times.
After noticing Ying Zheng's expression, Su Cheng continued,""However, it's not the right time to eliminate Lu Buwei yet.”
"Why?" Ying Zheng was a little puzzled, so he asked.
If he didn't get rid of such a powerful official now, when would he?
He shifted his gaze to Su Cheng, waiting for his reply.
"Firstly, Lu Buwei is a businessman. The economic lifeline of the Qin country is firmly in Lu Buwei's hands. Once they fall out, it will bring a painful economic price to the Qin country!”
" Secondly, Lu Buwei has already formed a deep-rooted faction in the court. We can't alert the enemy unless we have complete confidence.”
" Thirdly, Lu Buwei is old and cunning. He must have some trump cards. If we force him too hard, he might rebel!”
"If we fall out with Lu Buwei now, Your Majesty's chances of winning are extremely low.”
Su Cheng spoke with fervor and incisiveness. At this moment, the mature and steady look he displayed was extremely inconsistent with his appearance.
After hearing Su Cheng's words, Ying Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air. At the same time, he looked at Su Cheng with even more admiration!
Each of these three reasons made Ying Zheng's heart palpitate.
Lu Buwei's power was beyond his imagination!
"In Imperial Preceptor's opinion, what countermeasures do you have?”
Ying Zheng asked with a grave expression.
Ever since he had ascended the throne, he had been holding back until now, and his authority was under Lu Buwei's control, making it even more difficult for him to fulfill his ambitions.
He wanted to become a true emperor, not a puppet that could be manipulated by others!
"Your Majesty, how much do you know about Lao Ai?”
Su Cheng didn't answer Ying Zheng's question directly, but said faintly.
He had a meaningful smile on his face.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly and said,""Lao Ai used to be my mother's personal eunuch. Later, my mother strongly recommended him, so he was conferred the title of Marquis Changxin.”
"Now, Lao Ai has established his own force on his own, and has recruited many heroes and advisors from all over the world. He has become a force that cannot be underestimated.”
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Su Cheng shook his head and said,""What if I tell Your Majesty that Lao Ai is not a eunuch, but a favorite minister that Lu Buwei gave to the Empress Dowager?”
What?
Lao Ai was not a eunuch?
Instead, he was a favored official of his mother?
After hearing those words, Ying Zheng's mind was instantly blown away, and a huge wave was stirred up in his heart. His face turned ashen, and a terrifying pressure could be faintly sensed from his body, about to burst out.
He naturally knew what the word 'favorite' meant.
Don't forget, he was Ying Zheng. In history, even without Su Cheng's help, he had also eradicated Lu Buwei and other powerful ministers, and even completed the hegemony of unifying the world.
It would be a big mistake to treat him as an ordinary person!
During these years of forbearance, he had not only established powerful troops such as the Shadow Secret Guards, but he also had a powerful intelligence network.
He had already made some guesses after connecting it to some of the previous information.
It was an indisputable fact that Lu Buwei had an affair with his mother in his early years.
Those who knew this secret had all been secretly executed by him.
However, he had never expected that after Lu Buwei cut off contact with his mother, he would give her a favored official.
Moreover, this favorite official was conferred the title of Marquis Changxin?
"Damned scumbag!"
Ying Zheng Bite| his teeth| A trace of unconcealed killing intent flashed through his pitch-black eyes. The entire room instantly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and the temperature dropped by several degrees.
