"Your Highness really knows how to cause trouble. That's the Residence of Confucius, the direct descendant of Confucius!”
"This time, all the Confucian scholars in the world will probably start to cause trouble!”
"I hope that after being summoned back by His Majesty this time, it will stop for a while. Otherwise, this old man's bones won't be able to withstand so much torment!”
"Troubled times are unpredictable!”
"It's hard to say. His Majesty seems to love this prince very much and might not punish him severely!”
"Last time, he was only slightly implicated, and the eldest son, Fu Su, was ordered by His Majesty to go into seclusion to reflect on his mistakes. His Highness Chang Feng, on the other hand, became a member of the Imperial Guards.”
"In my opinion, this time, His Majesty will at most punish him. It won't have much of an impact!”
"Do you think that because of that incident, His Majesty has decided to start choosing a heir?”
"Are you crazy? How dare you say this here?”
"When I passed by just now, didn't you see how badly Zuo Si was beaten up by the torture rod?”
"With that look, even if His Majesty doesn't let him reflect on his mistakes in seclusion, I'm afraid he won't have many days left!”
Only after they left the palace did the courtiers recover a little strength and feel a myriad of emotions.
As important members of the Imperial Court, they had a certain understanding of Great Qin's situation.
At the very least, they knew that under Great Qin's glory, there were still many internal and external problems.
The reason why they could maintain relative peace was entirely because of the majesty of the First Emperor. It was enough to make all the small forces not dare to act rashly.
However, once something happened to the First Emperor, the situation would be difficult to predict.
When the First Emperor had been too ill to attend court, the Six Nations had instigated the Confucian Sect to make a big fuss about the restoration of the enfeoffment, throwing the entire court into chaos. None of the officials had been able to stay out of it.
The young masters were also fighting amongst themselves for that extremely tempting seat.
However, no one had expected that Ying Changfeng would suddenly come out of nowhere and wipe out all the Confucian Sect in Xianyang City like a madman!
Now that everyone had been killed, there was naturally no more commotion. The lucky survivors of the Confucian Sect fled in all directions, not even daring to stay in the pass.
However, the Confucians in the remote counties were causing more and more trouble, giving everyone a headache.
He had thought that Ying Changfeng had not shown up for a few days because he had been punished by Ying Zheng and had to reflect on his actions behind closed doors. As time passed, he would eventually return to his normal self.
However, only the heavens knew that this fellow had obtained a portion of the Imperial Guards 'military power, and he had gone even further. He had not even let go of the Confucian Sect, which had great influence in Great Qin and the surrounding countries!
Now, the Great Qin Dynasty and the Confucian Sect were truly going to become sworn enemies. Even the court itself would probably begin to split apart.
It was rare for His Majesty to punish Zuo Si in such a thunderous manner. Wasn't he killing the chicken to warn the monkeys and warning them?
This made them feel a little sad for the death of the hare, and they were even more unable to predict the changes in the court.
Only Zhao Gao, the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, had a smug look in his eyes.
For his plan, the more chaotic the court was, the more it suited his needs.
After all, when the court was peaceful, even if the officials tried to get close to Zhao Gao, they only wanted him to put in a good word for him in front of the First Emperor or get more information from the palace.
In return, they would also support Zhao Gao on matters that did not involve their own interests. However, it was purely wishful thinking to truly subdue this group of people.
Even after years of deliberate management, Zhao Gao's power in the court was still far inferior to Li Si's. He could not even compare to the declining Wang Wan or the low-profile Meng Yi, who was also deeply trusted by the Emperor.
On the contrary, in such a chaotic situation, some officials would stick closer to Zhao Gao in order to protect themselves, which would give Zhao Gao a stage to show off.
"However, this Young Master Changfeng has been in the limelight recently!”
"His Majesty has always doted on the young masters, so even if they were brought back by Wang Ben, they might not be severely punished!”
"On the contrary, the money and grain he seized from the Confucian Sect will make that old miser Neishteng and the generals in the army have a good impression of him. This is definitely a threat that cannot be ignored!”
"Fortunately, His Highness was too obscure and nameless before and had not had the time to establish his own power in the court!”
"But you have to do it beautifully. You can't leave any evidence!”
Zhao Gao lowered his head, afraid that others would notice the ferocity in his eyes. His heart was filled with killing intent!
