Zhangsun Wuji and Bao Zheng stepped forward and saluted Ying Zheng solemnly.
Ying Zheng's eyes shone with a divine light as he looked at the two of them with a gratified expression.
"My two beloved ministers, rise!"
Seeing the expressions of these two men and Ying Zheng's admiring eyes, the ministers of the imperial court immediately understood.
"It must be thanks to these two strategists that Your Majesty was able to capture Lu Buwei so smoothly!”
"These two people will soon reach the heavens in a single step and stand in the Great Qin Dynasty Hall!”
As expected, after Ying Zheng captured Lu Buwei, he immediately began to appoint him.
Ying Zheng opened a brocade box and placed a luxurious imperial seal on the table. It was the royal seal that symbolized the supreme royal power of the Qin State!
"I give the order as the King of Qin!"
"Zhangsun Wuji will be the Minister of Great Qin and lead the officials of the court to assist me in governing Great Qin!”
"Bao Zheng will be the commander of Xianyang City. He will govern the capital, Xianyang City, eliminate the rebels, and appease the people!”
"Guan Yu will be the general of the army, leading the Royal Guards to protect Xianyang City!”
"Appoint Li Si as the chief justice, revise the laws, gather all the prisons in the country, and be in charge of the imperial prison!”
Ying Zheng had appointed four great meritorious officials in a row, and all of them had positions that were not inferior to the three dukes and nine ministers!
Zhangsun Wuji and the others were all Ying Zheng's trusted aides, so it was within everyone's expectations that they would replace Lu Buwei as Prime Minister.
Li Si, who everyone knew, had been promoted from a minor official to the chief of the court, replacing the power of criminal law that was previously controlled by Lu Buwei's henchmen. This made the officials envious.
"Thank you for your attention, Your Majesty!"
"We will not disappoint the king and govern the Qin country well!”
Zhangsun Wuji and the others knelt down and replied excitedly.
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, feeling unusually excited.
This was both a reward for Zhangsun Wuji and the others 'contributions and an arrangement to control the royal court.
With these important official positions in their hands, Xianyang City would be able to settle down without too much turmoil.
Ying Zheng looked down at the old ministers of Great Qin, who no longer had any fear in their eyes, but were eager to try, and spoke slowly.
"My dear ministers, you have always contributed to Great Qin. Don't worry!”
"Not participating in Lu Buwei's rebellion is a sign of loyalty to Great Qin!”
"After I deal with Chang 'an Jun Chengjiao and Lu Buwei's henchmen, those who have rendered meritorious service will be rewarded.”
Ying Zheng first calmed the hearts of the people, and then he took out the reward of clearing out Lu Buwei's henchmen and other vacant official positions, which finally made the people in the imperial court completely at ease.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"We will support Great Qin with all our might, deal with the Chang 'an Lord, eliminate Lu Buwei's henchmen, and return Great Qin to justice!”
The ministers bowed in unison, their expressions respectful and filled with endless admiration.
Ying Zheng, a King who was not even thirteen years old, could easily take down Lu Buwei and seize the power of the imperial court, which was enough to make everyone admire and respect him. He was sincerely convinced!
……
After Ying Zheng stabilized the imperial court, the next thing he had to face was the final threat, Lord Chang 'an.
Xianyang Palace, Imperial Concubine's bedroom.
"Deng!"
With a series of heavy footsteps, a large group of mighty armored soldiers quickly surrounded him.
"The king has ordered that the imperial concubine who intends to rebel should be imprisoned!”
"Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Guan Yu personally led the team and charged into the Imperial Consort's chambers with a murderous aura.
When Consort Dowager heard the commotion outside the door, her expression changed drastically. She panicked and her mind was in chaos.
"No!"
How did Ying Zheng know about me…"
Consort Dowager's eyes flickered with a dim light. She didn't even bother putting on her shoes. Her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were red as she ran around in an attempt to escape.
"Lu Buwei!"
"Lu Buwei, you dog thief, did you betray me?!”
"Otherwise, why would Ying Zheng send his troops to capture me?”
Consort Dowager looked at the armored soldiers who rushed in with sharp blades in their hands and cried out in alarm, as if she had gone crazy.
In her heart, her plan would succeed tonight. But at this moment, it was actually destroyed by Ying Zheng.
Lu Buwei must have betrayed them!
"Lu Buwei has been captured by the king and banished to Shu!”
"Consort Dowager, I advise you to be quiet. I can still leave you some dignity!”
Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Saber in his hand, his expression cold as he stared at Consort Dowager.
Consort Dowager's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and she was incomparably shocked. After the shock, he suddenly thought of his son, Lord Chang An.
Since Ying Zheng had sent people to capture her, Lord Chang 'an must be in trouble. She had to send someone to inform Lord Chang' an to escape as soon as possible!
At most, he would defect to the Qin Country and join the Zhao Country or the Wei Country!
"Men! Men!"
"Quickly inform Lord Chang 'an that the plan has been exposed. Tell him to escape quickly!”
But why would Guan Yu and the others give Consort Dowager this chance?
Consort Dowager's chambers had long been surrounded. Not even a fly could fly out, let alone send someone to inform Lord Chang 'an!
Guan Yu's eyes turned even colder as he waved his hand.
Immediately, a team of armored soldiers rushed forward and carried Consort Dowager.
Consort Dowager struggled with all her might. She was anxious and worried as she cried out loudly.
"No!"
"Let me out!"
"Let me go…sob sob…"
Soon, Consort Dowager's mouth was gagged and she could no longer make a sound.
Guan Yu nodded slightly and ordered the soldiers beside him.
"Guard the Imperial Consort's chambers strictly, don't make any mistakes!”
"When the king takes down Lord Chang 'an, we'll deal with him together!”
……
The sky gradually darkened, and dusk gradually deepened. The gates of Xianyang were already closed.
Outside Xianyang City, an army that had been fighting for a long time quietly appeared under the cover of night.
A general with a dignified face and boundless killing intent rode a warhorse and arrived at the city gate under the protection of soldiers.
A muscular soldier immediately shot out a rocket and landed on the top of the city wall. Then, he shouted anxiously and nervously at the top of the city wall,
"We followed Lord Chang 'an back to Xianyang. Was the city wall arranged by Prime Minister Lu Buwei?”
Lord Chang 'an was mighty and extraordinary. He immediately pressed his sword and stood still.
A head poked out from the city wall and carefully recognized Lord Chang 'an's appearance. He was instantly delighted. It was Li Si, who was disguised as the city gate commander, waiting for the arrival of Chang 'an Jun.
"It's really Chang 'an Jun Chengjiao!"
Li Si couldn't help but tremble in excitement. The king had entrusted this important task to him. He was excited and nervous, afraid of revealing any flaws.
Li Si quickly came down from the city wall and carefully opened the gate a little. He greeted Lord Chang 'an with a slightly anxious expression.
Li Si greets Lord Chang 'an!"
"Lord Chang 'an, I'm Li Si, a guest of Prime Minister Lu Buwei. I've met Lord Chang' an at the banquet!”
Lord Chang An saw Li Si's face clearly and had some impression of him, so he immediately felt relieved.
"That's right, I remember you!"
"Where is Lu Buwei? How is the situation in the city?”
Li Si immediately knelt at Lord Chang 'an's feet and said in panic,"
"Lord Chang 'an, the situation in the city is not good!”
"Ying Zheng recruited an elite army of three thousand men from somewhere and planted them in the city!”
"Prime Minister Lu Buwei is with the Imperial Consort, waiting for Lord Chang 'an to enter the city!”
"The Prime Minister and the Imperial Concubine have instructed that Lord Chang 'an cannot bring too many people into the city in case Ying Zheng is alarmed. He would directly lead a small group of elite soldiers into the Imperial Consort's chambers!”
"The Imperial Consort will lure Ying Zheng to her chambers, and then the Lord of Chang 'an will suddenly take action and capture him!”
