When these officials saw Cheng Jiao's eyes, they immediately reacted. They also understood that they absolutely could not let Cheng Jiao leave Xianyang.
At the very least, it should not be now. Otherwise, once they left, they would lose their backbone and the Han Country would no longer exist!
Therefore, these officials immediately stood up and refuted Ying Tiangang's thoughts,"
"Your Majesty, Lord Yongyang's words are unreasonable!
The king's journey had only been a few days. As the son of the former king, how could the Lord of Chang 'an leave Xianyang at this time to go to the fief?
Moreover, Chang 'an Jun had yet to be crowned. Even if he went to the fief, it would be useless. Instead, he should learn the strategy of governance in Xianyang. At least, he could only be conferred after he was crowned!”
A group of Han Country officials spoke nervously. For a moment, the scene became extremely lively. It was the first time the others had seen such a scene.
As the Prime Minister, Lu Buwei frowned slightly when he saw so many officials coming forward to plead for Chang 'an's Jun Chengjiao. Dissatisfaction and surprise flashed across his eyes.
He did not expect that the Han Country's faction had hidden themselves so deeply. There were actually so many people who chose to stand on Cheng Jiao's side!
This was absolutely not allowed!
Not only because of Lu Buwei's ambition, he would not allow any other voices to interfere with his ruling philosophy, but also because of Cheng Jiao's identity!
He was the son of King Zhuang Xiang, and legally, he had a chance to inherit the throne. But Ying Zheng wanted to call him Zhongfu, so how could he let him have the chance to succeed?
Only now did Lu Buwei understand why Ying Tiangang would suddenly step forward and ask Cheng Jiao to be conferred the title in time. He was doing this to stop Cheng Jiao's thoughts of seizing the throne!
Thinking of this, Lu Buwei no longer hesitated. He immediately stood up and agreed with Lord Yongyang's suggestion. However, he was a cunning and shrewd politician, so he knew how to take a roundabout approach!
In addition, what the Han officials said made sense. In order to make the new king look good, he made some changes to Ying Tiangang's words.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Lord Yongyang's words are reasonable. As the Lord of Chang 'an, Lord Chengjiao should have gone to the fief in time to be conferred!”
Lu Buwei said, no! It should be that everyone's attention had been focused on him since he stood out!
After all, he was the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, and he had gradually occupied the court since the time of King Zhuang Xiang!
His every move, his henchmen, and the officials who were trying to get close to him were all waiting for their boss's response. Therefore, Lu Buwei was now the center of attention!
Hearing that Lu Buwei agreed with Ying Tiangang, the Han people became even more anxious!
If Lu Buwei was really involved, then this matter would not be settled so easily. Therefore, they were constantly opposing it.
"But…"
Lu Buwei's deep voice suddenly rang out. He swept his gaze over the Han officials who were jumping the hardest, and they immediately shut their mouths like quails, cowering in their shells, not daring to speak again.
For a moment, only Lu Buwei's voice was left in the entire court!
At this moment, Lu Buwei's power and intimidation were fully displayed. He was indeed the Prime Minister!
"Chang 'an's Jun Chengjiao is indeed still young. In addition, the former king has just gone on a grand expedition. In order to show his filial piety, and now that the Great Qin Empire is facing the crisis of the six countries joining forces, the king is unable to observe filial piety for the former king!
Why not let Chang 'an Jun replace the king as the candidate to mourn for the former king for a year!
He would head to the royal mausoleum to observe the mourning period. When the mourning period ended, he would arrange for a teacher to teach the Lord of Chang 'an how to govern.
He could also allow Chang 'an Jun to return to Xianyang after a period of time without having to stay in the fief for a long time to show the brotherhood of the king!”
Lu Buwei's move was vicious enough to hit the vital points of the Han officials!
Didn't you say that King Zhuang Xiang had just passed away due to illness, and that Cheng Jiao, as his son, should not leave Xianyang at this time? Fine, I will arrange for him to go to the royal tomb to replace Ying Zheng and mourn for the late king for a year!
At the same time, he would also arrange for a teacher to teach Chang 'an Jun and ask the king to grant him special privileges so that he could freely travel to and from Xianyang. This way, all the problems would be solved!
Furthermore, Lu Buwei did not hide the fact that the six states had joined forces, and none of the officials present were surprised or worried.
This was because this matter had already been secretly spread among the ministers in the past three days. All the ministers already knew about it. Although they were a little worried about this matter, they did not panic at all!
After all, they believed that Great Qin would not be able to be destroyed that easily!
Moreover, even Lu Buwei wasn't panicking, and even Duke Huan had stepped forward. He didn't know what kind of confidence Lord Yongyang, who was in charge of this battle, had!
However, the leaders of the entire court were still as calm as ever. How could they make any mistakes because of this?
Naturally, he calmed down and dealt with government affairs as usual!
"Minister Lyu's words are reasonable, it was Lord Yongyang who didn't consider things properly! Please allow it, Your Majesty!"
Ying Tiangang didn't seem surprised by Lu Buwei's reaction at all, as if everything was under his control. He immediately agreed with Lu Buwei's idea.
He wasn't the only one. After Lu Buwei spoke, more than one-third of the officials who were on the other side stood up in unison to express their agreement.
"Since all the ministers have agreed, then we will carry out the Prime Minister's will!”
Ying Zheng glanced at the imperial court below, especially at Jun Chengjiao of Chang 'an and the other Han officials, as well as Lu Buwei's men. He knew what was going on, of course!
He no longer had any sympathy or brotherhood in his heart. He deeply remembered the words that Ying Tiangang had taught him. From now on, he would be alone!
Therefore, Ying Zheng had changed the way he had done things in his previous life. Not only did he not give up urging Cheng Jiao to be conferred the title because of the brotherhood between him and him, but he also did not force him to observe filial piety!
But now, he had directly agreed to Lu Buwei's arrangement, ignoring Cheng Jiao's anger!
This matter had also become a foregone conclusion!
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's verdict, Cheng Jiao also slumped onto the ground, his eyes bloodshot and filled with hatred. This was not only for Lu Buwei and Ying Tiangang, but also for Ying Zheng!
Why didn't he become the king of Qin? Why did he have to go to that godforsaken royal tomb to mourn?
Why was this happening?
After Lu Buwei had succeeded in his mission, he pretended to glance at the Han officials with a cold glint in his eyes when he returned to his seat.
He had already made a decision in his heart. He would take advantage of this year to eliminate all these eyesores. Who let them touch the taboo?!
Ying Tiangang was secretly observing the officials in the hall. He had also noticed Lu Buwei's cold gaze. At this moment, Ying Tiangang's eyes actually showed a hint of a smile.
"It seems that this assassination attempt was a perfect success! Lu Buwei really couldn't escape his desire for power and wealth!
This batch of Han Country officials would probably not be able to escape his purge!
However, this is also good. I want to see when Cheng Jiao finishes his mourning and returns to Xianyang.
What kind of expression would he have when he found out that the people who belonged to his faction in the imperial court had basically been cleaned up? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Ying Tiangang's heart was filled with ridicule.
It turned out that his goal from the very beginning was not to directly target Cheng Jiao, but to lure Lu Buwei out and use his power and position in the imperial court to help him capture all the people who supported Cheng Jiao!
It could be said that Ying Tiangang had calculated everyone's intentions. His methods were superb, and he used an open scheme to easily provoke Lu Buwei to attack the Han Country's faction!
As expected of Great Qin's bad marshal!
