The Imperial Palace, the royal study.
"What do you think of Changfeng's change?”
The First Emperor looked dignified as he glanced at Zhang Han.
"This general is only a general and is not proficient in judging people.”
"However, Prince Eternal Wind and the guard beside him are very powerful. They are at least a level stronger than this general!”
Zhang Han hesitated for a moment before saying," In the entire Imperial Court, I reckon that only General Wang Jian at his peak could compare to him. Moreover, Young Master's cultivation technique is very similar to Lord Wu 'an's!”
"So it's him!"
The First Emperor's eyes flashed with a trace of regret.
The First Emperor was no stranger to Baiqi's abilities, but unfortunately, when Baiqi was killed, the First Emperor was only three years old. Furthermore, he was a hostage in Zhao and had never seen him before.
Therefore, after the First Emperor ascended the throne, he had given many rewards to Baiqi's descendants. He had also tacitly approved of the ancestral halls built by the people to worship Baiqi. Now that he knew that Ying Changfeng's inheritance came from Baiqi, he could not help but feel a little more confident.
"Go and select 1,000 elite cavalry and hand them over to Changfeng as soon as possible!”
"By the way, check if there are other forces behind Eternal Wind!”
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then said in a dignified tone.
"I'll do it immediately!"
Zhang Han quickly cupped his hands and left.
......
At the residence of the eighteenth young master.
"This Ying Changfeng is simply courting death!”
"Even if he wanted to show off, he wouldn't be as crazy as him!”
"When we go to court tomorrow, there will definitely be something good to see!”
"However, this slap of his has caused Brother Fu Su to lose quite a bit of face. Haha!”
Huhai was holding a beauty in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. He laughed arrogantly and didn't show any of the deference he had in front of the First Emperor.
"Your Highness, you cannot underestimate this person!"
"This child's ruthlessness is rare in the entire court. Those pedantic scholars might not be able to defeat him!”
"Moreover, for him to suddenly rise up, it might not be without the support of other factions!”
Zhao Gao's cold voice sounded faintly.
He looked at Huhai with a hint of disdain.
If it wasn't for his constant reminders, with Huhai's hedonistic behavior, he probably wouldn't even be able to stay in Xianyang City, let alone compete for the throne.
However, if he really had the ability, he wouldn't have been so easily controlled by him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao's eyes suddenly had a hint of fanaticism.
Although the First Emperor had recovered from his serious illness under the full treatment of the imperial physician, Xia Wuqi, the root cause of the illness was not so easy to remove.
Once the eastern tour started, the fatigue from the journey would probably recur very quickly.
At that time, Zhao Gao's chance would really come.
As long as he could support Huhai, with his influence over Huhai, Great Qin's supreme authority would be in his hands!
At that time, he would be able to be like His Majesty, looking down on the world with disdain.
After sizing up Huhai again, Zhao Gao turned around and left.
"Teacher, where are you going?"
"Go find your other teacher, Left Prime Minister Li Si!”
......
On the outskirts of Xianyang City, in an inconspicuous Taoist temple, Zhang Liang, who was dressed in a Confucian robe and green clothes, read the urgent news sent by his spy. A trace of horror flashed across his face.
As the direct grandson of the Han Minister of the three dynasties, Zhang Liang was quite influential among the descendants of the six dynasties. He relied on his talent and knowledge to be revered by the Confucian Sect.
This time, the descendants of the six dynasties sponsored the Confucians to enter Xianyang and advocated the restoration of the enfeoffment system, which was planned by Zhang Liang.
The goal was simple:
He wanted to use the First Emperor's illness to mess up Great Qin's peaceful situation and place more of his forces in the Imperial Court.
Of course, it would be perfect if Ying Zheng, who was already seriously ill, could be angered to the point of death.
The original plan was carried out very smoothly. Not only did the seventy-two scholars respond, but even the non-Confucian officials who had thoughts of enfeoffment were moved. Among them were even senior officials like Wang Wan, who held the position of Prime Minister.
Even when the First Emperor recovered and returned to court, the enfeoffment system had already resounded throughout the entire court.
Fu Su, the Eldest Young Master who had the greatest chance of inheriting Great Qin, had openly supported the enfeoffment system, greatly boosting the Confucian Sect's momentum and drawing in a large number of officials who supported Fu Su.
Otherwise, with Neishi Teng's control over Xianyang City, why would he pretend to know nothing even though he knew that the Confucian scholars were causing trouble in Xianyang City?
However, Zhang Liang had never imagined that Ying Changfeng would suddenly appear and kill all the Confucian scholars who were causing trouble, and then destroy the Confucian Sect's encampment in Xianyang City.
All the Confucians who had traveled thousands of miles to Xianyang City were wiped out, and not a single one escaped.
What was even more difficult for Zhang Liang to accept was that this group of spineless people had been coerced by Ying Changfeng to sell out the Confucian Sect's dirty secrets in public, greatly affecting the good reputation of the Confucian Sect.
Now, the people and dignitaries who had supported the Confucian Sect would probably waver once more.
Zhang Liang's many years of painstaking planning could be said to have been lost in a single day.
