Qin Country's capital, Xianyang.
In the discussion hall of the Qin royal palace.
At this moment, all the ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty had solemn expressions as they discussed the Xiongnu army's attack on the Qin border.
Among them, the 200,000 Xiongnu army in Fan City was the most talked about.
At this moment, a royal guard of the capital entered the palace and reported to Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne,""Your Majesty, the scouts heading to the northwest border have just reported that City Lord Fan, Qin Yi, has once again defied Your Majesty's order and said that he will not retreat no matter what!”
Hearing this, the Great Qin officials all looked bewildered.
This was already the eighth imperial edict that the King of Qin had issued to Qin Yi to withdraw his troops.
However, Qin Yi had rejected the previous seven times.
This was the eighth time.
At the thought of this, everyone could not help but look at the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne with a calm expression.
However, Ying Zheng did not say anything about this. Instead, he turned to look at Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, who was sitting at the head of the civil officials.
Seeing this, Lu Buwei knew that the King of Qin wanted him to make a start.
However, Lu Buwei would not say anything about Qin Yi. After all, everyone knew that he had personally promoted Qin Yi.
If he said anything, wouldn't he be saying that he was incompetent?
This was something that Lu Buwei could never accept.
As for the generals, it was as if they had communicated earlier, and no one spoke.
"Your Majesty, this subject believes that Qin Yi is relying on his previous contributions to disregard Your Majesty's orders. This subject believes that Qin Yi's three clans should be directly executed as a warning to others!”
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a rather upright face came out of class and reported.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, many people in the surroundings agreed.
Ying Zheng knew this middle-aged man and the power behind him.
A relative!
It was a faction that was both above and deeply involved in the royal court.
As soon as the middle-aged man said this, the generals led by Wang Jian and the civil officials led by Lu Buwei all looked coldly at this group of clowns.
"Oh, Lord Cao said that he wanted to kill Qin Yi and the other two clans. What do you think about this?”
At this moment, Ying Zheng once again kicked the ball to the courtiers present.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, all the civil and military officials looked doubtful and began whispering to each other.
Finally, Wang Jian, the old general who had been silent all this while, came out of his post, bowed to Ying Zheng and said,"
"Your Majesty, this old minister thinks that Lord Cao's words are inappropriate. If the soldiers who are loyal to the country in the outside world receive such an outcome, then the situation will be different.”
"I'm afraid that in the future, our Great Qin will not have soldiers who are so loyal to protecting the country.”
As he spoke, Wang Jian looked at Lu Buwei and said in a strange tone,"
"Do you agree with what I said?”
"After all, that Qin Yi was previously supported by the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister doesn't step forward, I'm afraid it will attract gossip.”
Lu Buwei coldly glanced at Wang Jian as he cursed in his heart.
This old fox had put it nicely, but he had not said a single substantial opinion for a long time. In the end, he still kicked the ball to him.
However, Lu Buwei had no choice but to bow and say,""Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should be handled impartially. Kill and reward should be done as long as it is fair and just!”
Hearing Lu Buwei's words, everyone's hearts trembled.
Lu Buwei was clearly planning to abandon Qin Yi, this dispensable chess piece.
After all, even now, Lu Buwei had not seen any value in Qin Yi.
Other than the huge victory at the beginning, Qin Yi simply hid in Fan City step by step.
"Oh? Did the Prime Minister agree with Cao Qing's earlier words?”
As Ying Zheng said that, a bright light flashed across his eyes.
Lu Buwei didn't reply, as if he had tacitly agreed.
After all, the current Qin Yi was really dispensable to him. Now that he had resisted eight King's Lives in a row and was surrounded by the Xiongnu army of 200,000, it was obvious that it would be difficult for him to survive.
Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they probably wouldn't be of much use anymore.
Lu Buwei wasn't the only one in the Town Hall who had such thoughts.
In the entire Conference Hall, no one probably thought that the general from Fan City would be able to escape this death situation.
But Ying Zheng was not included.
Ying Zheng smiled faintly. Just as he was about to say something, another imperial guard walked in from the gate of the Town Hall.
The imperial guards entered the discussion hall and knelt on one knee. Just as they were about to report something, they were interrupted by someone.
The previous Lord Cao revealed an angry expression and shouted,"But that Qin Yi of Fan City has resisted the king's order again. If that's the case, there's no need to report it.”
After saying that, Lord Cao bowed slightly to Ying Zheng, and without waiting for the Imperial Guards to reply, he said,"
"Your Majesty, this Qin Yi is truly lawless.”
"My Great Qin has always ruled the country according to the law. I think my previous suggestion is right. We should directly kill Qin Yi's three clans.”
The moment Lord Cao's words came out, the surrounding people did not speak either. Even Wang Jian did not make a sound.
After all, it would be difficult for him to protect Qin Yi in this situation!
Lu Buwei didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and stood there calmly, resting his mind.
At this moment, many of the officials from the imperial family stood up and began to reprimand Qin Yi.
It was as if Qin Yi had killed their father.
Indeed, Qin Yi did not kill their father, but Lu Buwei did!
Lu Buwei had already suppressed them badly enough. They knew that Lu Buwei wanted to rope Qin Yi in.
Now that Qin Yi had made a mistake, Lu Buwei was even more indifferent. This made these people from the relatives 'group vent their anger on Qin Yi.
Hearing the courtiers talking about Qin Yi's crimes, Ying Zheng's lips curled up slightly.
He ignored the crowd and looked at the imperial guard. Then, he said,"You don't have to pay attention to them. Tell me the details!”
The Imperial Guards had seen Great Qin's powerful officials talking about something, so they did not dare to say anything and could only keep quiet.
Hearing the King of Qin Ying Zheng speak, he hurriedly bowed and said,""Your Majesty, there's good news from Fan City. The 200,000-strong Xiongnu army has been completely destroyed!”
