In the Qin palace.
The atmosphere in the hall became more relaxed as the court affairs were passed one by one.
Although Lady Zhao was the one who held power behind the curtain, and Ying Zheng had a breakthrough in his cultivation base…
There was also Xia Ning, a person with unknown background, standing by his side.
However, regarding government affairs.
The three of them did not say anything.
He even handled things as usual, allowing Wang Jian and Feng Quji to do whatever they wanted.
This was a relaxed attitude for the officials.
Since ancient times, the relationship between monarch and minister had been extremely complicated.
Especially with the addition of the power behind the scenes, it was even more complicated.
Fortunately, Zhao Ji did not want to be Empress Dowager Xuan.
However, this also made many people puzzled. If that was the case, why did he have to listen to politics behind the curtain?!
Could it be that they were just targeting and suppressing Lu Buwei?
So that he couldn't cover the sky with one hand?
But no matter what, the result was always good.
However, they were relieved.
Lu Buwei's heart sank. There were more than a few weapons hidden there.
What if Ying Zheng asked for punishment?
His mind was filled with thoughts.
At this moment.
Footsteps suddenly sounded.
All the officials and officials in the court looked towards the palace door.
With a creaking sound, the palace door slowly opened.
Dressed in black armor and filled with a faint smell of blood, the Startling Salamander walked into the hall and said respectfully,"Your Majesty, the West Military Chamber has taken down the place where the weapons are hidden outside the city!”
"Not a single person escaped."
"It contains a large amount of armaments and millions of taels of gold.”
"There are also heavy crossbows in the army!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian and Meng Ao's expressions changed drastically as they looked at Lu Buwei in disbelief.
Heavy crossbows in the army?
This was Great Qin's greatest weapon!
Qin crossbow, Chu Xia, Zhao cavalry, Wei Cai.
These few words were referring to the most powerful things in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Among them, the chivalrous men of the Chu State were famous all over the world, the valiant cavalry of the Zhao State were also rampant in all directions, the talents of the Wei State were endless, and the Qin State was awed by the Qin crossbow.
Under the simultaneous firing of ten thousand crossbows, even a great grandmaster would be killed.
There was also the Qin army's heavy crossbow, which could not be moved without the strength of ten thousand pounds. The arrow was even more meticulously crafted and could break the Gang Qi of a Great Grandmaster!
It was also an important weapon of the country that shocked the four directions!
But now, he had appeared in a secret place outside the city. How could this not shock everyone?
Thinking back to what Ying Zheng had said before, if these armaments really flowed into the hands of the Xiongnu, who had a large number of Qin crossbows, coupled with the Xiongnu cavalry, the northern border of the Great Qin Empire would definitely face a huge problem!
"Who dares to hide a national treasure?!!”Meng Ao glared at Lu Buwei with his fierce eyes."All the heavy crossbows in the army are forged by the Gongshu family. Those who are not in the army are not allowed to act rashly. Every one of them has a place to go. May I ask, Prime Minister, how did these heavy crossbows appear in the army?!”
In other words, the conflict between Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng was a conflict between monarch and minister.
Now, this matter had already involved the capital of Great Qin.
The country cannot be lost!
Thus, Meng Ao had to stand out and express his stance.
Lu Buwei's face was calm when he heard the question. He had already thought of a plan to deal with it, so he knelt on the ground and said,""As the Prime Minister, I have made such a major mistake. I should be severely punished!!!”
"I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
This tactic of retreating while advancing was very good. As the prime minister, he could not escape this kind of responsibility.
Especially when the network base outside the city was leaked, there could be no excuse.
Then he might as well admit his mistake.
Lu Buwei was betting that Ying Zheng would not dare to kill him, as long as he did not die.
He had his own methods to turn things around.
That was because he still had trump cards and confidence.
The wealth of the Lu family was their confidence, and so were the secrets of the court. Even Empress Dowager Hua Yang in the harem was their confidence.
Moreover, Lu Buwei's weapons were not really given to the Xiongnu, but to someone else.
If it was really impossible, he could say it out loud and use it as an excuse to avoid it.
On the contrary, it would give the entire court an impression that Ying Zheng was too overbearing.
"What crime has the Prime Minister committed?"
At this moment, Xia Ning suddenly spoke. He smiled and said,""Someone must have secretly stolen the Great Qin Heavy Crossbow and planned to collude with the Xiongnu. Although the Prime Minister is responsible for this matter, there is nothing else.”
"After all, the Prime Minister will not collude with the Xiongnu.”
As soon as he said this.
Everyone's eyes turned to Xia Ning, each of them puzzled.
Now, the battle between Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng could be said to be a crushing defeat.
They might even be charged with treason.
After all, the evidence outside the city was not fake, but why did he say that now?
Wang Jian and Meng Ao's eyes were also filled with puzzlement. They were somewhat unable to see through all of this.
Only Lu Buwei.
Although he seemed to have escaped death, he felt even more uneasy.
If Ying Zheng and Xia Ning had followed up with their attacks, Lu Buwei would not have felt anything to fear, because he had his own way of avoiding them. But now, the situation had made him tremble in fear. Despite the fact that the situation was already like this, he could still endure it.
The only reason was that they were plotting something bigger!!!
As expected!
After Xia Ning finished speaking, Ying Zheng said with a dignified expression,""Mr. Xia is right. How could Zhongfu betray the country?”
"There must be traitors!"
"If we don't get rid of this person, Great Qin will not be at peace."
"For this reason, I intend to set up the West Chamber to inspect all officials and monitor the world. As long as there are people who commit crimes, create rumors, cause trouble, rebel, and betray the country, the West Chamber will have the duty to interrogate them.”
"During the interrogation of the Supreme Court, the West Military Hall can also listen to the investigation. If there's anyone who covers up the suspects and confuses the truth, the West Military Hall can execute them first before reporting! This is my special permission!"
"From today onwards, there will be a supervisor in the West Chamber. Mr. Xia will take this position and bestow the Qin Sword!”
