Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 598 You don't need this kind of courtier.

"Report-"

In the palace of the King of Qin, in the main front hall, the civil and military ministers lined up.

Everyone held the jade board tremblingly and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the gloomy Shi Huangdi sitting on the dragon chair.

The messenger ran in anxiously from outside the hall, fell down on the ground, struggled and knelt down.

"Report to the king, Confucianism has also come out after Mohism, Taoism, famous schools, miscellaneous schools, Yin-Yang schools..."

Of course!

The civil and military ministers in the entire hall were all discussing quietly, and their words were full of worry and panic.

"It's over, it's over, fortunately, the Legalists ruled the country, otherwise the Legalists would come out to criticize Daqin... so what should we do!"

"A hundred scholars, this is true, a hundred scholars, stand together and criticize Daqin!"

"Oh my God! If the people criticize the dynasty so much, don't we..." People were panicked, and there were many discussions.

The First Emperor sat on the dragon chair, although he had been mentally prepared, but when he really heard the news, he was still a little shocked.

The rough plan, Wang Shuyi once said, was the alienation plan proposed by Gong Shuwan, not Chang Yu's plan.

That is to say, with the efforts of the three women, the whole plan will affect Daqin... If it is not good, it will fall apart!

The First Emperor once wanted to personally intervene, but was rejected by Wang Shuyi because Gong Shuwan also said that the plan was perfect.

The less people know, the higher the success rate, especially if the current ministers are not allowed to know, so as not to have ghosts.

When he heard this sentence, Emperor Shihuang laughed. Even he didn't know the exact plan. Didn't he say that he was also a ghost?

If one of them fails, the whole of Great Qin might be buried with him. How can he not be worried about this!

He even wanted to send someone to the front line overnight to inform Chang Yu, and let him ignore the front line war and return to Daqin to handle the matter himself!

As a result, Wang Shuyi pretended to be vicious and said that if Chang Yu handled this matter personally, the consequences might be unstable!

After all, he is a dead man, commanding the army on the front line, that is the best way for him to deal with it.

They can't do anything better than let them handle the domestic affairs, so they won't be ruined...

When they heard this, the First Emperor's whole body felt numb. Even they themselves had no confidence. How could he, as a king, dare to rest assured!

Regardless of whether you believe it or not, public opinion has been stirred up now, and the next step is the final stage, which is to stir up popular uprising and attract big fish.

It's not just Gong Shuwan who is suspicious, Zhao Gao is not the only big fish behind the scenes, even he is also suspicious. It's definitely not that simple.

As a traitor, how can Zhao Gao have funds for activities, if he can win people's hearts and not betray him?

Is it charisma?How much is it worth? !What's more, the power he has shown so far is far beyond imagination.

But you must know that the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops in Nanyue alone, Zhao Gao alone, can win over hundreds of tribes, big and small, to send troops?
impossible!
Behind him, there must be a big fish, not only providing funds for his activities, but also giving him full power to do things.

To be able to have such ability, the First Emperor's mind... No, including Chang Yu's mind, there were already speculations.

However, I dare not jump to a conclusion on that guess, unless there is enough evidence to prove it, otherwise it will be very difficult.

While the First Emperor was brooding melancholy, the messengers had already withdrawn, and the civil and military ministers in the court were trembling and did not dare to speak.

A lot of things have happened recently, which has made them terrified and unable to protect themselves. No one knows when it will be their turn.

What's more, in the early hours of this morning, a lot of colleagues, ministers who are still in charge of important military positions, were thrown into prison overnight...

As for what happened, they don't know... What they can know is that the current Daqin does not have any backbone.

If something unexpected happens, such as the people being instigated to rebel, Daqin will have no resistance in a short period of time.

It's not obvious, you want Daqin to be messed up by the uprising people and even overthrow Daqin's political system!

This made many ministers dare not speak out, after all...it was the king sitting on the dragon chair who made the decision.

They were very resentful and helpless, thinking that the First Emperor was suffering from senile dementia and wanted to destroy the country he had conquered!
But looking at Shi Huangdi's sad face, it also showed that he knew the end of doing so, so why did he do so?

As courtiers, they really don't understand why the first emperor did this, let alone solve the king's worries.

Now, people are in panic and cannot protect themselves. I just hope that the king can see clearly and not be swayed by greedy words and arrest them.

"Alas," when the First Emperor sighed deeply several times, the messenger stumbled in from outside the hall.

His expression was pale, and he was obviously frightened to death by some news: "Report——"

He came quickly, knelt on the ground, trembling slightly, suppressing his urgency, and said: "There is news that some people in the county have rebelled against Qin!"

"What?!" Many military officials' expressions changed drastically, and they came out holding the jade board one after another, asking for instructions: "Your Majesty, the people are against Qin, so don't hesitate!"

"I beg you, Your Majesty, to send me troops to suppress the rebellious people and restore a peaceful life to the Qin Dynasty!"

Knowing that there would be such a step, Emperor Shi Huang of course couldn't send troops out, so he waved his hand and refused immediately.

"Shangshu, the book of war, is still in prison, even I... can't send troops to you at will."

Even if the military force tiger amulet is in his hands, he can mobilize the army without anyone's consent.

But Wang Shuyi and the others had said hello beforehand, so he could only suppress his emotions and try not to interfere in this matter.

The reason used is also impeccable. Now many important officials in the court are in prison, and their life and death are unknown.

They were not in place, so food, weapons, and all kinds of mess needed for war could not be in place.

It's not that the First Emperor doesn't provide troops, but that he really can't turn around, so he can only... sit here and worry.

The military official who asked for instructions couldn't help but yelled loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm contradicting you, it's that something like this happened..."

Hearing his ministers talking to him like this, the First Emperor immediately looked solemn and angry, causing many ministers to bow their heads in fear.

However, the military minister still did not stop: "Your Majesty, if we don't send troops to suppress the rebellious people now!"

"Wait until they hit the Qin Palace, by then...it will be too late!" The meaning in the words was that they had no heart, and they couldn't stand it.

"Listening to what you said, are you questioning me?" The First Emperor sat up slightly and said angrily in a soft voice: "Of course I have confidence in my heart when these things happen!"

"If you can't bear the pressure, put down the black hats on your heads and leave from the meeting hall of King Qin Palace."

Flicking up the sleeves of the dragon robe, Emperor Shihuang didn't give them any face: "If you leave, it means that there are ghosts in your heart!"

This is not a moral kidnapping, but a pressure on them, and only when they are persecuted to the end can the hidden ghost be caught again.

If they dare to go out, it means that they have two hearts towards Daqin. Of course...it cannot be ruled out that they are really disappointed.

However, the first emperor would not consider this matter. If he was sincerely for Daqin, he would be a courtier who lived and died together, advanced and retreated together.

Criticism of Daqin's speech is to create momentum rather than truth, even if it is a popular uprising...will be calmed down in the end.

If this kind of thing happens, it's like pulling away and leaving, protecting yourself instead of advancing and retreating together... Then... this kind of courtier, don't worry about it.
