Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Buwei sat in his room with a worried expression.
In front of him, there were a few figures.
"The Empress Dowager has already been banished to the Cold Palace of Yong Di?”
Lu Buwei's voice broke the silence.
"Yes, Minister Lu!"
One of them replied.
"Zhao Ji, you can't blame this old man.”
"I can only blame Lao Ai for being too ambitious.”
"However, it's good that he's dead, so as to avoid threatening this old man.”
A trace of hostility flashed across Lu Buwei's face.
In fact, he had long wanted to get rid of Lao Ai.
He watched Lao Ai develop step by step, and even faintly surpass himself.
If this continued, what would happen?
"Alright, you guys can go back."
"Keep a close eye on His Majesty's recent whereabouts. If there is any new news, immediately report to this old man!”
Lu Buwei waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!"
"Oh right, Minister Lu!"
"A group of people dressed in the same uniform suddenly appeared in the palace today.”
"It seems that Su Jiu brought it into the palace.”
Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly remembered the group of people who had entered the palace today.
They were talking about the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Go and investigate the origin of this group of people."
"Also, check if they are Su Jiu's people.”
Lu Buwei said patiently.
He was not annoyed by these people, but by Su Jiu.
He was like a lingering ghost, everywhere.
After the few of them left.
Lu Buwei looked outside, his eyes flashing with sharpness.
"Tomorrow, I want to see how you deal with it!”
.........
.........
The next day, morning court.
This moment had finally arrived.
In front of the Qilin Hall.
All of Great Qin's civil and military officials gathered here.
They were divided into three factions, with Lu Buwei as one faction, those who remained neutral as the other, and the rest of them were Lao Ai's former henchmen.
From the beginning to the end, Lao Ai's henchmen had been looking at Lu Buwei with hostility.
All they knew was that Lu Buwei had betrayed Lao Ai. Otherwise, they would not have ended up like this.
In the Great Qin Imperial Court, they were the ones who had it the worst.
A moment later, everyone began to enter the hall in turn.
After everyone entered the hall, they all shut their mouths and remained silent.
This caused the atmosphere in the Qilin Palace to become slightly solemn.
"The King has arrived ~"
A eunuch shouted in a sharp voice.
Only then did Ying Zheng slowly walk out from the rear of the palace.
"Greetings, my king!"
"Greetings, my king!"
When Ying Zheng arrived and ascended the throne, all the officials below bowed down and paid their respects.
Ying Zheng looked down at the entire imperial court like a god, and no one dared to look him in the eye!
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, leave the court ~"
The eunuch standing beside Ying Zheng shouted again.
Su Jiu stood at the head of the military officers, while Lu Buwei stood at the head of the civil officials.
Today's morning court session was extremely important.
Therefore, Su Jiu arrived early.
Silence!
The court was deathly silent!
No one dared to take the lead.
However, as time passed.
Lao Ai's henchmen finally could not hold it in any longer.
Liu Chuang, one of the nine ministers, stood up.
The Grand Servant was in charge of the palace's horses and carriages!
"Your Majesty!"
"Yesterday, Marquis Changxin's estate was massacred.”
"None of the servants in the residence were spared!”
"Marquis Changxin didn't escape either.”
"I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Give me an explanation!”
Liu Chuang said slowly.
All of Lao Ai's henchmen knew that the Marquis of Changxin's mansion had been massacred by Su Jiu, Marquis Su Wu, and his men.
However, they all understood that Su Jiu was just acting impartially and was not the real mastermind behind the scenes.
That Lu Buwei was!
They were certain that Lu Buwei was behind all of this.
In the end, Lao Ai died such a miserable death.
"I have heard of Marquis Changxin's death.”
"However, I feel that there is nothing to investigate.”
"The Marquis of Changxin deceived the emperor. According to the laws of Qin, he should be executed!”
Ying Zheng glanced at the servant and secretly noted it down in his heart.
After the morning court session, he would deal with them slowly.
They were all remnants of Lao Ai's henchmen.
It was inevitable to eliminate them!
Keeping them alive would also be a group of future troubles.
Fortunately, they were now firmly convinced that it was Lu Buwei who did it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken like this.
"This…"
Ying Zheng's words were beyond the servant's expectation.
He still could not understand why Ying Zheng had left this matter alone.
"Since you have nothing to report, let me announce it.”
"From today onwards, I want to establish a new organization in the imperial court, called the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
"The responsibility is to inspect the cultural relics of the world and give the right to act first before reporting!”
"After the Embroidered Uniform Guards are established, the commander will be Marquis Su Wu!”
"Do you have any objections?"
Ying Zheng stared at all the ministers below him.
At the same time, a huge invisible pressure pressed towards them.
"This…"
"The officials supervising the cultural relics?"
"Isn't it the same as sending people to monitor us?”
"Then what privacy do we have in the future?”
For a time, there was a lot of discussion below.
Each faction had different thoughts.
On the other hand, Lu Buwei's faction was strongly opposed.
The neutral faction remained neutral. They did not support or oppose it since it did not affect them.
An upright person was not afraid of a crooked shadow. So what if he was monitoring them?
On the other hand, Lao Ai's followers were looking forward to it.
They knew that in the following days.
Lu Buwei would definitely send people to eliminate them one by one.
With the surveillance of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, there was no need to worry.
As long as Lu Buwei made a move against them.
Naturally, Ying Zheng would know that this was equivalent to protecting them.
