Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 405
Chapter 411
Everyone dared not speak.

Although Ying Zheng already had many children, he had no heirs after he unified the six kingdoms.

If this child is born, it will not only tell the world that Ying Zheng is still in good health, but also warn everyone in the world that the power of Qin is still in the hands of the emperor.

But now this child also died with the passing of Concubine Li.

Suspicion suddenly arose in Ying Zheng's heart.

Concubine Li is dead, who has the most advantage in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?
Several people appeared in Ying Zheng's mind, and finally Li Si's figure appeared.

To say that the most likely person is Li Si, who stands at the head of the courtiers and has already been sealed.

But, is Li Si really capable?And is Li Si really mad or arrogant to such an extent?

You know, he acted like this, if the matter is revealed, it will not be as simple as beheading.

But to truly exterminate the nine clans!Does Li Si really dare to do this?
Ying Zheng didn't know.

Zheng Guo and Wei Liao also didn't know.

At this moment, Li Si finally came to Xianyang Palace.

"The old minister sees His Majesty! Your Majesty is safe and the old minister has no regrets to die!"

Seeing Zheng Guo and Wei Liao, Li Si was not too surprised, bowed his head and saluted Ying Zheng excitedly.

"Aiqing doesn't need to be polite!" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and asked with concern: "I heard that Aiqing, like Zheng Aiqing and Wei Lao Aiqing, was met by unknown persons on the way back to Xianyang from Ganquan Palace. The assassination of the person? Is Aiqing okay?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, old minister! Thanks to His Majesty's heavenly power, most of the thieves were killed, and the old minister is fine!" Li Si said gratefully when he heard Ying Zheng's words, and then looked at Zheng Guo and Wei Liao, who was slightly embarrassed, and said, "My lords are fine. It's really my great Qin's luck!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern! It is my great Qin's blessing that you are safe, Prime Minister!" Zheng Guo said politely to Li Sigong indifferently.

Wei Liao's appearance at the moment was really a bit embarrassing, so he just bowed his hands to Li Si and didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty! How about Concubine Li?" Li Si looked at Ying Zheng and asked anxiously.

"Concubine Li died to save me." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si strangely and replied.

"Your Majesty is fine, that is my great Qin's blessing, and I hope Your Majesty will mourn."

"Li Aiqing, although I'm fine, and all my loves are fine, but someone dared to assassinate me in Xianyang Palace, and dared to send so many assassins to assassinate important ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty. Xianyang, the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty and the heart of the empire, is not here. I knew when such a huge force was hiding, but I, the imperial court, and all my lovers didn't even know about it. You guys have let me down so much!" Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Listen to me!" Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to interrupt Li Si, Zhang Han, and Wei Liao, who were about to plead guilty, and continued: "Before this force is wiped out, I can't even stay in Xianyang Palace with peace of mind. , Where are you going to put me? I have already decided to go to Sanchuan County for inspection in three days."

"Your Majesty can't!"

As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, Li Si shouted in panic.

"Your Majesty! The assassination in the palace this time, the crime of the officials and others deserves ten thousand deaths. However, Sanchuan County is close to the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han. Although there are large troops stationed there, it is hard to guarantee that nothing will happen. If Your Majesty leaves Xianyang suddenly, His Majesty will be in Xianyang Palace. The news of the assassination will inevitably spread, and the people in the Guanzhong will be in danger. The Guanzhong is where the foundation of our Great Qin lies. If the Guanzhong is unstable, the foundation of our Great Qin will definitely be shaken. The people behind the scenes are playing their hands! Your Majesty, think twice."

Li Si knelt down and kowtowed, weeping.

Zheng Guo and Wei Liao looked at each other when they heard Li Si's words, and at the same time saw a trace of relief and relief from each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

The two fell to the ground at the same time and said in unison.

Ying Zheng's heart suddenly relaxed when he heard Li Si's words.

Long before Li Si came, Ying Zheng had discussed with Zheng Guo and Wei Liao that the news of the emperor's assassination must not be spread.

After all, this time is different from the emperor being assassinated by Jing Ke in the hall.

At the beginning, it could be said that it was the wolfish ambition of the people of Yan State. Qin State originally treated it with benevolence and justice, but they were wolf-hearted, and the people of the world would stand by them.But Xianyang Palace is the territory of Yingzheng, where the Great Qin Emperor rests and handles the world's political affairs!It is equal to the emperor's home.

The emperor was assassinated in his own home, and he was assassinated under the heavy protection of many imperial guards, guards and personal guards. If it was spread, it would definitely embarrass the entire Qin Dynasty.

More importantly, Concubine Li was pregnant with the emperor's heir, but both died young, and this matter should not be spread.

So, when things come to this, the matter of Xianyang Palace tonight can only be handled in private, not only can't announce it to the world, but also pretend that nothing has happened.

Ying Zheng also knew that the news of his assassination tonight could not be spread. The reason why he deliberately said in front of Li Si that he was going to Sanchuan County was to test Li Si.

After all, everyone knows that Li Si is an extremely talented minister who has controlled the government for many years and has many followers. It is not easy to deal with such a minister.

However, if what happened tonight was really not just to assassinate the emperor as Wei Liao imagined, but to kill the emperor and Concubine Li.

Then the emperor wanted to go on tour, and Li Si, who had something on his mind, most likely objected to it, and then agreed with the flow.

After all, the emperor was assassinated, and it was logical to postpone the ceremony to search for the assassin.

If Li Si did the thing, the subconscious pursuit of advantages and avoidance of disadvantages would definitely affect Li Si's handling and judgment of some matters, and it would definitely be reflected.

If Li Si agreed, then it would naturally be a sign that he had a ghost in his heart.

But his resolute opposition at this moment just proved that he seemed to have a clear conscience.

"What do you think Ai Qing should do now?" Ying Zheng asked calmly, his eyes softened.

"Assuming that this incident has not happened, there are more than a million people in Xianyang. Your Majesty can transfer the elite soldiers of the Bashang camp to Xianyang in the name of maintaining order. At the same time, tonight, all the forbidden soldiers and guards in Xianyang Palace, as well as the eunuchs and maids in the palace Thoroughly investigate everything, it is only loose on the outside and tight on the inside, Your Majesty!"

Li Si said quickly when he heard the emperor's tone slow down.

"Yes!" Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Si, Zheng Guo and Wei Liao said in unison.

Just as he was thinking, Ying Zheng suddenly called to the side: "Dunwei."

Dun weakly, who was busy with Yao Jia, came to the front, saluted Ying Zheng, looked at the other three and nodded.

"Go and see how the assassin's interrogation is going. You don't need to follow me. By the way, send someone to look at the corpses of those assassins."

"Minister obeys the order!" Dun Ruo bowed to Ying Zheng, and then flew away.

In the Manchu dynasty, there is only Dunwei who does not belong to any party.

Now that Yingzheng is not at ease with anyone, he can only hand over this important task to Dunwei who is at odds with others.

As soon as Dunwei left, Yingzheng opened his mouth to speak when he saw Zheng Lun rushing over.

"His Majesty!"

"What's the matter?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Feng begs to see you!"

"It's time for him to come too! Tell him to come in!" Ying Zheng nodded.
