"What is it? The mansion has been surrounded?"
"Who is so bold? How dare you surround my residence?"
Li Si was stunned before he flew into a rage.
He was Great Qin's Left Prime Minister, and even though he was not below one person, he was still highly regarded by the Emperor.
Even Zhao Gao had to respect him, let alone the petty officials of Xianyang City!
Who had the guts to behave atrociously in front of the Li Residence?
"It's General Wang Ben and Zhang Han!"
"They led their troops and surrounded the Prime Minister's residence.”
"Especially the family members of the Prime Minister's Estate. None of them can step out of the door. Those who disobey will be executed!”
The steward of the Prime Minister's mansion wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a bitter face.
"They actually dare to move troops into the city.”
Hearing the butler's words, one of the military officials stood up in shock.
"The garrison outside Xianyang City is an important army to protect the Imperial City. Without the emperor's order, they are not allowed to enter the city!”
"These two people mobilized troops into the city without permission. It's a serious crime of treason!”
"Unless…it's a decree from His Majesty the First Emperor!”
Another official spoke, but Li Si felt his scalp tingle when he heard his analysis.
If the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, ordered his troops to surround his own mansion, he would be finished!
"My lords, you're wrong. According to Wang Ben and Zhang Han, they were ordered by the Ninth Prince to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion!”
"He also asked me to pass a message to my lord. He said that if the task given by the Ninth Hall His Highness is not completed in two months, the entire Li family will be executed!”
Seeing that all the officials were just imagining things, the butler of the Prime Minister's Estate quickly opened his mouth.
"Master, bad news!"
"Sir, it's over, it's over. The Imperial Censor's Office has been surrounded by soldiers!”
"Lord Prefect, something has happened, something has happened. Quickly go home and take a look!”
"Master, the sky is falling. The soldiers are going to raid our entire house!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the various officials 'residences ran in to report.
These servants were all panicking, and some even cried bitterly. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
"What's going on? Tell me slowly?"
"The sky hasn't collapsed yet. How can you be so flustered?”
The Right Prime Minister Feng Jie and the Imperial Censor angrily berated them when they saw the group of people crying in panic.
"It's like this. Just now, this subordinate was about to go out to do something when I saw a group of soldiers rush to the entrance of the residence.”
"They surrounded the entire residence without any explanation and ordered the family members of the residence to not go out. Otherwise, they would be killed without mercy!”
"I just came back from outside and saw that the mansion was surrounded by soldiers.”
"After asking, I found out that they were soldiers sent by the Imperial Court!”
"Furen is in the courtyard, quickly order this lowly one to come and find Master!”
"Oh right, General Wang and General Zhang asked me to tell Old Master that Ninth Highness has already ordered that if Old Master fails, the entire residence will be beheaded in two months!”
"Grand Master thought that His Majesty was going to confiscate the house, so he died…!”
"Wuuuu…!"
The servants spoke one after another, and the ministers finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that Ying Ziye had surrounded the residences of these officials who opposed the heavy taxes on the rich.
They were also given two months to complete the task of collecting taxes and distributing land!
Otherwise, his entire family would be executed!
"This…this kid is forcing us to work for him?”
"Sigh, it's over now. Our family is in his hands. Our plan just now won't be useful anymore!”
Two of the officials with lower official ranks were like frosted eggplants when they heard the ins and outs of the matter.
"You guys are scared just like that?"
"There are so many officials and their families in the court. That kid dares to touch them?”
"Unless he doesn't want to live anymore!"
Sima Xin, one of the nine ministers, said disdainfully when he saw that some officials were so easily frightened.
"That's right! If he could scare us so easily, why would His Majesty hand over the power to that kid? Let him handle this matter?"
"Your Majesty can just issue an imperial edict!”
Li Si laughed nonchalantly.
"That's right! That kid is just scaring us!”
"Fellow colleagues, there's no need to panic!"
At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door. The officials looked in the direction of the voice and realized that it was Zhao Gao.
"Sigh, my mansion has also been surrounded by that brat's men!”
Seeing the gazes of the ministers, Zhao Gao twitched his lips and smiled bitterly.
When he had just returned to his residence, the soldiers had surrounded his residence.
After learning that it was because of the tax and land distribution, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, in order to find more people to deal with Ying Ziye, he thought of these officials, so he came here.
"Yes! If we were all executed, there wouldn't be many officials left in the court!”
"At that time, who will work for His Majesty?”
"Who will lead the army to battle for His Majesty?"
"Without the civil and military officials, Great Qin is finished!”
"Yeah, this kid is probably just scaring us. Ignore him, let's continue with the plan!”
"The law doesn't choose the masses. I don't believe that he would dare to kill all the ministers!”
"Even His Majesty doesn't dare to do something like this, but that kid probably doesn't have the guts either!”
After hearing Sima Xin, Li Si, and Zhao Gao's words, the ministers finally came to their senses.
Even the Emperor didn't dare to risk universal condemnation, so how could this kid possibly have the guts?
It was too easy to use the trick of surrounding the mansion to scare them!
"Oh right, this kid secretly mobilized troops into the city and is suspected of plotting against us. Why don't we enter the palace now and ask that kid?”
"Good idea! Then, we'll just blame Wang Ben and Zhang Han, not the Ninth Young Master, and get them to give up that kid!”
"Brilliant plan! What a brilliant plan!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!”
"Let's go! Go to the palace and report to the emperor!"
……
"How did it go?"
In the royal study, Ying Zheng put down his brush and asked with a serious expression when he saw the secret guards of the Black Ice Platform enter.
Although his son's performance today was not bad, he was still too young. He was worried that he would not be able to subdue the old foxes in the court!
"After His Majesty left, the Ninth Prince didn't say anything else. He first ordered Zhao Gao and Chunyu Yue to hand over one million taels of gold to the treasury before nightfall!”
"Then, he gave a few orders!"
The man in black knelt on one knee and reported truthfully.
"The two of them are willing to take out the money in a day?”
Ying Zheng laughed coldly and shook his head slightly.
He knew his subjects too well. All of them were old foxes, and none of them were easy to deal with!
"Of course not!"
"However, Ninth Highness directly handed the Tianwen sword to General Meng Yi!”
"He also ordered that if the gold is not handed over to the treasury before nightfall, General Meng will behead Zhao and Chun's entire family!”
The man in black told him everything that had happened in the imperial court in detail.
"Good!"
"I did not misjudge you!"
"Using Meng Yi to scare Zhao Gao, this move is brilliant!”
After hearing what the man in black said, Ying Zheng stood up abruptly, and the frown on his face relaxed.
……
Sigh, this data is like a snail. It crawled for a while and stopped moving.
