Chapter 242: Successfully Persuaded, Hope Everything is Just a Guess

"That's right, why gamble one's future on others?"

At this moment, a glimmer of light immediately flashed through Li Zhen's eyes.

He had been completely persuaded by Feng Quji.

If one relies on His Majesty's appreciation to obtain one's own power,

this is no different from pinning one's hopes on others; I fear it will only lead one to go lower and lower.

Li Zhen did not want all the status and power he had spent so long obtaining to be taken away by others.

"Can we guarantee the status in our hands if the next successor is Imperial Prince Huhai?"

Immediately, he had some doubts.

After all, no matter who became the successor, the status in his hands would be somewhat unstable.

"If there were no guarantees, why would we choose Imperial Prince Huhai to be the next successor?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Feng Quji's mouth.

It was as if he were mocking Li Zhen's naivety.

Li Zhen's gaze became dazed for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face as well.

That's right.

In the officialdom, if there were no benefits, who would be willing to do it?

"It was my oversight."

"What should we do specifically?"

Li Zhen asked again.

"Lord Li, you just need to state His Majesty's intention when it is time for you to speak."

Feng Quji said indifferently.

With a simple sentence, Li Zhen immediately understood Feng Quji's meaning.

"Then Li will wait for Lord Feng's news."

After reaching the deal, Li Zhen soon left Feng Quji's residence.

As soon as his figure left, the next moment Ying Mo had already received the news.

"Li Zhen?"

Ying Mo's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked back.

"That's right."

Lu Li nodded.

"Did you hear clearly what they were talking about?"

Ying Mo asked immediately.

He had not expected Li Zhen to also have dealings with Feng Quji.

Could it be that Li Zhen was also one of Feng Quji's subordinates?

But that's not right.

Li Zhen's wife was the legitimate second daughter of the Prince of Zhenbei.

With Li Zhen's connections, there was absolutely no need to become Feng Quji's subordinate.

"They seem to have reached a cooperation."

"Feng Quji wants Li Zhen to announce in public that Huhai will become the next successor."

Lu Li said.

After hearing Lu Li's words, Ying Mo's eyes immediately flickered.

Under what circumstances would one possibly refer to Li Zhen's opinion?

Only when His Majesty suddenly passes away without leaving any edict.

Ying Mo suddenly realized what that group of people behind the scenes wanted to do.

They wanted to get rid of Ying Zheng and then support Huhai to become the next puppet Emperor.

Truly a good method.

Transferring him away from Xianyang City and then quickly seizing the power of the entire Great Qin.

It seems those people behind the scenes are not simple either.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Ying Mo's mouth.

He, a mere Imperial Prince, what virtue or ability does he have to alarm so many big figures?

Back then, they did not hesitate to expose themselves to participate in the plan to put him to death.

Now, they do not even hesitate to spend such great energy to incite the entire Great Qin.

"This group of people truly has good methods."

"I really want to see what they look like when they know their plan has failed."

Ying Mo's mouth was cold, and his eyes carried a trace of a cold glint.

"Continue to watch these two for me; do not alert the enemy."

"Watch everyone else who attempts to get close to Ying Zheng for me."

Ying Mo said.

Since their target was Ying Zheng,

he was quite curious how these people intended to make a move on Ying Zheng?

One must know that as the Emperor, Ying Zheng's surroundings were heavily guarded.

If not for suppressing with powerful force, no one could break through the defenses around Ying Zheng's life.

Could it be that those people intended to forcibly kill Ying Zheng?

But this was also impossible.

If that were the case, there would be no need to use so many methods.

………

"Imperial Prince, we have assembled a small team of men, and they are currently hiding outside Xianyang City."

The guard said.

After hearing this, a satisfied expression appeared in Wang Ben's eyes.

Subsequently, thinking of his father's decision, he said with resentment once again.

"If it weren't for my father's obstruction, how could there only be such a small portion of power?"

"Does he have to support Imperial Prince Fusu? What is so good about Fusu?"

The guard on the side kept his head buried tightly after hearing Wang Ben's words.

His heart became increasingly panicked.

He felt that the Imperial Prince seemed to be planning to do something terrifying.

Could it be that the Imperial Prince intended to use this small team of men to rebel?

How could this be possible?

Not to mention that the Imperial Guard in the palace alone numbered 3, 00.

The army stationed near the palace could also arrive in the shortest possible time.

What could this tiny team of men do?

However, all these thoughts churned in the guard's heart, but he dared not say anything.

Since he was Wang Ben's man, he could only execute Wang Ben's orders.

"Have that group of people all hide near Xianyang City and await my orders."

Having calmed down, Wang Ben said in a low voice.

He must let his father see.

As long as his plan could be realized, the Wang family would have wealth within reach.

Wealth that even his father's lifelong military achievements could not reach.

What Wang Ben did not know was that he thought he was proceeding very covertly.

But Wang Jian had already developed suspicions about him.

When this guard went out, he had already been followed by Wang Jian's men.

【Redacted】

When the guard was gathering the men, Wang Jian's men also received the news at the first opportunity.

"This unfilial son, what does he intend to do?"

When Wang Jian received the news, a look of fury appeared on his face.

At such a time, a group of men appeared outside Xianyang City.

Isn't this just announcing to the world that he intends to rebel?

Wang Jian only felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart.

Their Wang family was full of loyalty; how could they possibly do such a thing?

"What exactly do those men intend to do, appearing outside Xianyang City now?"

Wang Jian tried hard to restrain his anger and asked in a calm voice.

He did not believe his son would do such a thing.

It might be a misunderstanding.

"That group of people are all hiding outside Xianyang City."

"The Imperial Prince seems to have mobilized this group of men by relying on his own token."

The subordinate said honestly.

Wang Jian's hands were clenched tightly.

His entire chest was also heaving violently.

"Wait."

"I want to see what exactly he wants to do."

Wang Jian said in a cold voice.

He would give Wang Ben one last chance.

If this team of men only appeared outside Xianyang City and did nothing, he would let Wang Ben go.

If these people really intended to do something, then don't blame him for personally…
