Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhang Han fell silent.
Marquis Wu An was not someone he could casually evaluate.
"Other than the nobles of the Chu Country and the Six Nations, what other powers are involved? For example, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy."
"Your Majesty, you are aware that there is indeed a shadow of the farmer's family inside.”Zhang Han quickly replied.
"Farmer? How dare you!" Ying Zheng's voice was cold, and his eyes flashed with killing intent.
Although the peasant family claimed to have 100,000 people, compared to the influence of Confucianism and Legalism, it was nothing. It was only a relatively large force in the martial world.
In Ying Zheng's eyes, he only needed to send out tens of thousands of elite troops to wipe out all the farmers.
Pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng continued asking,""Now, someone from Yingchuan County is going to quell the rebellion?”
" Yes." Zhang Han nodded and replied," General Meng Wu has already sent people to stabilize the situation in Xinzheng and other important cities. Those rebels can only wander outside the wilderness." General Meng Tian had already led 20,000 cavalry to suppress them.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng showed a satisfied look. He had a lot of trust in Meng Tian, this young general.
However, Ying Zheng was still worried that this was not just a rebellion on the surface.
After all, the chivalrous Tian Guang of the peasant family had just been killed by Uncle Wang. Now that he had come out to cause trouble, he must have been instructed by some big shot.
Ying Zheng's heart was filled with vigilance against the enemy forces hiding in the dark.
"It looks like Great Qin's enemies aren't just on the outside!”Ying Zheng could not help but sigh in his heart.
.........
The next morning, Ying Zheng told them about the rebellion in Xinzheng.
"Dear ministers, how do you think we should deal with the current Xinzheng rebellion?”On the throne, Ying Zheng looked at the group of ministers and asked.
At this moment, Li Si, who had been trying his best to show off, walked out first.
He bowed and said respectfully,"Your Majesty, the rebellion in Xinzheng was caused by the old nobles of Han." They were deeply indebted to the king for not killing them back then, but they dared to rebel. They deserved ten thousand deaths! I believe that anyone who participated in the rebellion must be killed by the three clans as a warning to others!”
As a Legalist, Li Si had always liked to use iron-blooded methods.
This bloody suggestion caused many Confucian officials to frown.
Ying Zheng, however, did not change much, because he was quite agreeable to Li Si's suggestion.
Since you chose to be a traitor, don't blame me for being heartless.
However, he was now the king who was about to unify the world, so he naturally had to consider things more thoroughly.
Otherwise, it would be very easy for a big mess to happen.
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate." At this moment, Lord Chang Ping stood out and objected.
Ying Zheng glanced at Lord Chang Ping, nodded and said,""Speak!"
"The mastermind of the Xinzheng rebellion was the old aristocrats. Most of the rebels were their private soldiers, and there were almost no ordinary people.”
"If you choose to kill the three clans, you will definitely implicate the innocent people. This will affect the king's reputation.”
"Great Qin's unification of the world is a major trend. If this matter causes a negative impact, it won't be worth it.”
Lord Chang Ping said slowly.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded, and a look of approval appeared on his face.
What Lord Chang Ping said made sense; Great Qin's reputation was still very important, or else it would become unstable.
"Minister, how do you think we should handle this?”Ying Zheng continued asking.
"Your Majesty! I believe that only the chief culprit should be killed this time, and the rest should be dealt with lightly.”Lord Chang Ping said.
"Your Majesty, I object!"
At this moment, Ying Chen's voice finally rang out in the hall.
Ying Chen slowly walked out, attracting the attention of many ministers.
Lord Chang Ping's expression also sank, and a trace of hatred flashed through his heart.
"Your Majesty, the Xinzheng rebellion was a conspiracy, and there were rebels like the farmers among them. If we don't implement the heavy punishment, there will definitely be more rebels who will follow suit in the future.”
"At that time, the damage caused will be even more serious. How could they face the soldiers of Great Qin who had fought so hard?”
Ying Chen said firmly, his face filled with determination.
"Since they have received the king's favor, they chose to rebel. They are disloyal and unjust people. How could he let such a person off so easily?”
"We agree!"
After Ying Chen finished speaking, Li Si and the other Legalism ministers walked out to agree.
A moment later, Ying Zheng finally agreed with Ying Chen's point of view.
"Pass down my orders. Order Meng Tian to encircle and suppress all the rebels. As long as the rebellion was confirmed, the three clans would be exterminated!”
"Here!" The ministers hurriedly replied.
Seeing this scene, Lord Chang Ping sighed in his heart.
It seemed that this plan was going to fail again.
But at this moment, an urgent 800-mile report came.
"800 li is urgent! The 300,000 Chu army crossed the border and attacked General Meng Wu!”
A servant hurried in and handed Ying Zheng a bamboo slip.
"What is it? The Chu army still dares to attack us?"
Ying Zheng took the bamboo slips, and after reading them, his expression turned cold.
When Lord Chang Ping heard this news, a bad premonition flashed through his heart.
Why did Xiang Yan suddenly attack? Could it be that the situation in the country has changed again?
Xiang Yan was Lord Chang Ping's subordinate. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would definitely not send troops.
"Tell me, how should we deal with this?”
Ying Zheng's voice was cold.
Great Qin had already destroyed five countries, and it was at its peak.
Therefore, Ying Zheng did not panic when facing the attack of Chu State.
"Your Majesty, the Chu Country was defeated by me several years ago! Now that Great Qin has already destroyed five countries and is at its peak, I feel that I can take this opportunity to completely destroy the Chu Country!”
At this moment, Ying Chen stood out and said.
"This subject agrees with Marquis Wu 'an's opinion. Now that Great Qin has sufficient rations, it is enough to launch another war to destroy a country.”Li Si said.
"Your Majesty, I object!" Lord Chang Ping said again.
He looked at Ying Zheng with a serious expression and said," Your Majesty, the entire Great Qin is now working hard to quell the rebellion and stabilize the hearts of the people of the five nations.”
"If we were to engage in a war with the Chu Country, we would have to mobilize the troops from other places. Although the Chu army isn't as elite as our Qin army, their strategic depth is vast, and it will be difficult for us to take them down in one battle. If we were to reach a stalemate, it would probably drag down our logistics.”
"Most importantly, once we reach a stalemate, Wei, Yan, Zhao, and the other anti-Qin forces will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. At that time, we will be fighting on multiple fronts and will not be able to take care of each other.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers began to discuss among themselves, and their expressions changed inexplicably.
They carefully pondered over Lord Chang Ping's words and reacted.
If they really reached a stalemate, Great Qin would be in danger.
Ying Zheng tapped on the throne lightly, frowning.
"My dear minister, in your opinion, how should we deal with this?”
Lord Chang Ping bowed and said,"I am willing to go to Chu. I will definitely make Chu retreat!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, the court immediately fell silent.
"Are you really willing to go to Chu?" asked Ying Zheng as he looked at Lord Chang Ping. Get the Chu Country to retreat?"
"This subject is a subject of the Great Qin Dynasty. This subject will die to share the king's worries!”Lord Changping said loyally.
Ying Zheng fell silent, and finally agreed to Lord Chang Ping's suggestion.
........
The next day, Marquis Wuan Manor.
"Lord Marquis, Lord Chang Ping has already left Xianyang.”
Violet Girl reported to Ying Chen.
Ying Chen held a glass of wine and looked at the scenery outside the window.
"He didn't take his family with him?" Ying Chen asked.
Violet Maiden shook her head. His daughter was still in the manor.”
"Is that so? Continue to send people to keep an eye on them! Don't let him escape!"
"Yes, sir!"
Violet Girl nodded.
Lord Chang Ping, since you still chose this path, then I can only send you on your way!
A light flashed across Ying Chen's eyes.
