Xianyang City was in chaos.
Lu Buwei was captured and imprisoned, and the entire clan of Lao Ai's henchmen in the city, such as Wei Wei Jie Taishi Si and the others who had close ties with Lao Ai, were slaughtered by the Imperial Guards!
Lu Buwei had been arrested and imprisoned, and all the henchmen of the Prime Minister's Residence had been put under house arrest!
Xianyang Palace.
Dressed in a dragon robe, Ying Zheng sat high on the highest throne. In the entire hall, Ying Zheng was the only one who stood supreme.
After an unknown period of time, Eunuch Sunflower came to Ying Zheng's side softly.
"Your Majesty, Lu Buwei has been detained in Xianyang Prison, and all the remaining Lao Ai criminals in the city have been executed!”
" Lu Buwei's henchmen and confidants have all been imprisoned…"
Eunuch Sunflower reported respectfully.
Xianyang City was in turmoil, and Ying Zheng was sitting high on the throne, like a god manipulating everything!
"Gather all the officials for a court meeting!"
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng's calm and cold voice echoed in the hall.
"Yes!"
Eunuch Sunflower bowed and left.
Soon, the people of the East Chamber left the palace and dispersed to gather the officials for a court meeting.
All the officials and servants were well-informed people in Xianyang City. When Ying Zheng led his troops to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion, almost all the courtiers had already received the news.
At this moment, when they learned that Ying Zheng was actually going to summon all the officials for a court meeting, they were instantly panic-stricken.
However, running away was not a solution!
More and more officials rushed to Xianyang Palace.
Just like that, after a few incense sticks of time, Xianyang Palace was already filled with the important officials of the Qin Country.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
In the palace, the ministers knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Rise!"
Ying Zheng was kneeling on the throne, wearing a black dragon robe and a flat crown on his head. His body was exuding an endless majesty, as if he was a divine emperor who was high above the nine heavens!
The ministers thanked him.
After that, Xianyang Palace fell into silence.
The atmosphere was very oppressive, and even some of the timid officials began to tremble.
After an unknown period of time, Eunuch Sunflower, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, took a step forward and stood on the throne, looking down at the ministers from above, and began to read out Ying Zheng's decree.
"A few days ago, Your Majesty went to Yong City to visit the Empress Dowager. The traitor, Lao Ai, attempted to murder Your Majesty, and was caught by the Royal Guards on the spot, torn apart and executed!”
" The King has ordered that Lao Ai has rebelled and his entire clan has been executed. The Empress Dowager's poor judgment of people has led to the rebellion of the traitor, and she has imprisoned herself in the Li Palace!”
" Prime Minister Lu Buwei recommended Lao Ai into the palace, and he was found guilty. Therefore, he was removed from the post of Prime Minister as a warning to others…"
……
As soon as he said this, the court was in an uproar!
The Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai, who had won the Empress Dowager's favor, plotted a rebellion?
And he was killed by a car?
Also, the Empress Dowager had imprisoned herself and left the palace?
Your Majesty wants to dismiss the prime minister!
These words were like thunder that struck the court, shocking the officials.
However, while many officials who had nothing to do with this matter were still panicking, Lu Buwei's students and old officials had already stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister is loyal to Great Qin, and has made outstanding contributions. Even if it is wrong to recommend Lao Ai, you cannot implicate Prime Minister because of this!”
"I agree! Ever since the Prime Minister took over Great Qin, the weather has been good for Great Qin, and the country's strength has increased greatly. If the King were to dismiss the Prime Minister because of this, I'm afraid the people would not be convinced!”
"I agree!"
"I agree…"
……
Very soon, one official after another stood out in the court, pleading for Lu Buwei's life!
As a matter of fact, although Ying Zheng had the mandate of heaven and enjoyed a high prestige, Lu Buwei had been in charge of the imperial court for more than ten years, and his roots were deep.
However, there were still countless fish that had escaped the net in the imperial court!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of officials stood up.
Ying Zheng sat high on his throne, his face terrifyingly cold.
He had never expected that someone would dare to speak up for Lu Buwei in such a situation!
"I've made up my mind!"
"There's no need for you to say anything else. If you dare to plead for mercy on behalf of Lu Buwei again, you'll be punished for the same crime as treason!”
Ying Zheng's cold voice echoed in the palace.
However, upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, the ministers in the palace remained unmoved. They were the subordinates of the Prime Minister, and now, the Prime Minister's power could be said to be everywhere in Great Qin. They really did not believe that Ying Zheng would dare to lay a hand on so many of them!
After all, the law did not punish the masses!
"Still not retreating?"
On the throne, Ying Zheng's voice turned even colder.
"Your Majesty, please pardon Xiang Bang!"
"Prime Minister is innocent, please reconsider, Your Majesty…"
……
In the court, dozens of officials knelt on the ground, their expressions filled with determination.
"Ha!"
Instead of getting angry, Ying Zheng laughed. Looking at these officials kneeling before the royal court, the look in his eyes was as if he was looking at a dead man.
The King of Hell is hard to save, but he's looking for a dead man!
He actually dared to force the abdication!
Do they not believe that I dare to kill them?
Since that's the case, I'll grant you your wish!
"Eunuch Sunflower!"
Ying Zheng sat high on his throne, looking down at his ministers from above, his face terrifyingly cold.
"Take them down and execute them outside the palace!”
Ying Zheng gave the order, full of killing intent.
"Yes!"
As Eunuch Sunflower agreed, the temple staff of the East Chamber came in from outside the hall. They stretched out their hands and took the dozens of officials away.
At this moment, the ministers who were collectively forcing the abdication finally panicked.
"No, I can't! King, you can't kill us!"
"No, I can't! Spare me, my king, please don't kill me…"
……
However, no matter how much they struggled, the masters of the East Hall did not give them a chance at all and dragged them away.
Soon, screams came from outside the palace, and a thick smell of blood wafted in from outside the palace…
He had killed dozens of officials in a row.
Ying Zheng's ruthlessness and brutality immediately frightened all the officials in the imperial court.
Some of the more timid ones could not even stand properly and fell to the ground!
At this moment, they realized that the king they had thought was just a child was actually a ferocious tiger that could eat people!
"The king has ordered that Huo Qubing be awarded the title of General of the Flying Cavalry and lead 50,000 troops in the capital!”
"Meng Tian has been promoted to Lieutenant General for his meritorious service in protecting the Emperor!”
"Meng Yi has made great contributions in protecting the emperor and quelling the chaos. He has been promoted to a senior doctor…"
……
Very soon, after killing dozens of ministers, Ying Zheng had completely taken control of the Imperial Court.
With demotion, there would naturally be promotion!
Ying Zheng directly placed his trusted aides in key positions!
……
"Ding! Ying Zheng, the hot shot bound to the host, has successfully abolished Lu Buwei's position and gained control of the government. He has obtained a special achievement: The Emperor Star has just appeared!"
