Chapter 303

Ying Zheng asked, this was the purpose of him calling these two over!

And when he heard this, Wei Liao had a headache!

Solving the crisis!

Avoiding the crisis!

How difficult was this?

But after thinking for a while, he spoke: “The top priority now is to count the troops!”

“Now my Great Qin has 550,000 troops led by Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Wang Ben in the north!”

“In the south, there are 400,000 troops led by Zhao Tuo!”

“In various cities and passes, there are 200,000 troops on the register!”

“Plus Li Xin's 150,000 troops outside Xianyang City!”

“Now, Great Qin has 1.25 million troops!”

“But, among them, Zhao Tuo's 400,000 cannot be moved!”

“The 200,000 in various cities and passes also cannot be moved!”

“After all, they still need to continue to suppress the people of the six states and prevent them from making trouble!”

“Li Xin's 150,000 troops also cannot be moved; once they move, Zhuge Liang and Zuo Zuo Zongtang will have no pressure!”

“When the Sixth Prince returns, God knows what they will do?”

“Now, the only people we can move are the 550,000 led by Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Wang Ben!”

“It's just... it's just...”

Wei Liao opened his mouth again and again, but... no matter how he opened his mouth, he didn't dare to say the following words!

Ying Zheng's eyes were cold: “Speak!”

Wei Liao said: “It's just... can His Majesty mobilize Meng Wu and Meng Tian?”

“What?”

Once these words were spoken, Ying Zheng was furious and slapped the table with a bang!

This scene scared Wei Liao and Zhao Gao so much that they were trembling.

Ying Zheng said angrily: “They are my troops, how can I not mobilize them?”

He said angrily, but after saying this, he couldn't help but touch his sleeve!

There, a secret letter sent to him by Meng Wu was hidden!

This secret letter was sent together with the report of victory!

Although he tore up the report of victory and burned it!

But... this secret letter was kept by him!

There was only one sentence on it: “When the Sixth Prince returns, he will inevitably pass through Yan Sect Pass; whether to let him enter the pass, or...”

Meng Wu didn't say the following words, but Ying Zheng knew exactly what it meant!

It was asking him whether he wanted to capture him, or kill him!

After pondering for a while, he threw this secret letter to Wei Liao!

After Wei Liao finished reading, he couldn't help but swallow hard and bowed to Ying Zheng: “Your Majesty, Meng Wu... Meng Wu... he cannot be trusted!”

Bang!

Ying Zheng slapped the table again!

Wei Liao took a deep breath and said: “He might not dare to resist Your Majesty, but... his heart to target the Sixth Prince is too strong, and he has the suspicion of pushing this great chaos!”

“Otherwise, why didn't he inform Your Majesty of the result of the Sixth Prince's battle with the Xiongnu in a secret report, but instead made it known to the whole world in the form of a report of victory?”

“What does he want to do?”

Wei Liao said angrily!

Ying Zheng took a deep breath again!

Finally, he sighed and helped Wei Liao up:

“Let's not talk about Meng Wu for now, and let's not talk about Meng Tian and Prince Fusu for now!”

“Just tell me, can this turmoil be avoided?”

Wei Liao nodded: “Yes!”

Ying Zheng said: “How to avoid it?”

Wei Liao said: “Kill the Sixth Prince!”

“You... bold!”

Ying Zheng was furious and slapped Wei Liao directly!

Wei Liao bowed:

“Not only kill the Sixth Prince, but also restore the nobles' tax exemption, and even... implement the enfeoffment system!”

“You...”

Ying Zheng was furious!

At this moment, he almost wanted to draw his sword and kill Wei Liao!

But... his hand was on the hilt, but he couldn't draw it!

What's the use?

What's the use of killing Wei Liao?

What he said was the truth!

Because, only by killing Ying Su can he express an attitude!

Yes!

It's an attitude!

This is the attitude of admitting mistakes!

Only with this attitude can he restore the nobles' tax exemption and even return the grain already collected to the nobles; only then will he gain the qualification to negotiate with the nobles!

At this time, if he wants them to be satisfied, he can only take out the enfeoffment system!

0...

Only in this way can all this be ended!

Ying Zheng understood all this!

But... wanting him to accept it, how easy was it?

Almost impossible!

At that moment, he took a deep breath again, and finally asked Wei Liao:

“Besides these two, is there any other way?”

Wei Liao didn't speak, and after a long time, he bowed to Ying Zheng:

“Your Majesty, paper cannot wrap fire, please make a quick decision!”

“You...”

Ying Zheng was furious!

Finally, he waved his sleeve, sat aside, and began to ponder bitterly!

Night!

In Xianyang City!

A fast horse was galloping!

In fact! Wei Liao was right!

Paper really couldn't wrap fire; although Ying Zheng's actions fooled everyone in the imperial court!

Almost everyone thought that Meng Wu's report of victory was forged and completely fake!

But... just that night!

The gate of Great Qin's Right Prime Minister Feng Feng Qiji's house was knocked open!

The servants looked at the visitor suspiciously: “Who are you? Who are you looking for?”

The man said anxiously: “I am the deputy general under General Meng Wu, here to send a letter to the Prime Minister! Please let the Prime Minister see me quickly!”

“General Meng Wu?”

Once these words were spoken, the servant was shocked, and then, without any delay, hurriedly welcomed this person into the inner hall!

Then, he quickly reported this matter to Feng Feng Qiji, who had already fallen asleep!

In the blink of an eye, Feng Feng Qiji came out!

When he saw this person for the first time, he was shocked!

Because, this person was actually Meng Wu's deputy general!

“Visiting late at night, what for?”

Although Feng Feng Qiji had no waves on his face, his heart was turning upside down!

Combined with the court affairs today, he always had a bad premonition!

A premonition that something big was going to happen!

Sure enough, as soon as the deputy general spoke, he gave Meng Wu a thunderbolt!

“The report of victory sent by the General has been transmitted to Xianyang City; does the Prime Minister know?”

“What?”

Once these words were spoken, Feng Feng Qiji's head buzzed!

At this moment, he finally determined that something big had happened!

That report of victory was actually sent by Meng Wu!

That meant everything said in the report of victory was true!

Han Xin really destroyed 3 million Xiongnu!

Han Xin's army now only had 20,000 people left!

Similarly, Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao also died!

“This... this...”

At that moment, Feng Feng Qiji felt the world spinning!

But he was the Prime Minister after all, even if his heart was turning upside down, he had no waves, and nodded to the deputy general:

“I already know, where is Meng Wu's letter?”

“Here!”

The deputy general hurriedly took out a piece of paper!

Feng Feng Qiji took a few deep breaths before daring to open this letter!

After reading it, he took a deep breath again, and finally asked the deputy general: “Who else have you sent this kind of letter to?”

The deputy general said: “General Meng Wu sent dozens of us to send letters; I am responsible for sending letters to the Prime Minister, and others also have their own tasks!”

“General Meng Wu wants me to tell the Prime Minister that the rebellious son Ying Su obtained the throne improperly and bullied the Emperor; we, as subjects, should be loyal to the country and help the First Emperor return to the throne!”

“Hmm!”

Feng Feng Qiji nodded, and then personally sent this deputy general out of the mansion!

But the moment the mansion gate closed, he was trembling all over!

Disaster!

A huge disaster!

161. Ying Su returns to the court, Ying Zheng panics! The officials panic!

In Xianyang City!

Feng Feng Qiji's Prime Minister's Mansion!

At this moment, Feng Feng Qiji was shocked to the extreme!

Similarly, panicked to the extreme!

At this time, his scalp was numb!

After a long time, he finally calmed down!

But looking at the letter in his hand, he couldn't help but think, what should he do?

What choice should he make now?

Take a side?

Which side should he stand on?

Ying Zheng?

Ying Su?

Or all the nobles in the world?

Too risky!

No matter which side, it was too risky!

Or just sit on the fence?

Don't stand on any side and just watch from the sidelines?

His head was buzzing, and at this moment, he really felt that the sky had fallen!

However, who was the only one?

Tonight's Xianyang City was destined not to be peaceful?

The people sent by Meng Wu simply turned Xianyang City upside down.

Too many people couldn't sleep peacefully tonight.

Because... with batches of messengers entering the mansions of the nobles.

Too many people had already determined one fact!

That was... today's report of victory was true!

The 3 million Xiongnu were really killed by Han Xin!

And Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao died in battle!

And Han Xin's army suffered heavy losses, losing 80,000 people in one battle!

The current Ying Su, at most, had 20,000 people!

Moreover, it was 20,000 people without Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao!

At this time, Ying Su was absolutely at his weakest moment!

“How?”

“How?”

“What should be done?”

In the home of Great Qin's Censor-in-Chief Li Tan!

Wang Wan was here, and he was discussing with Li Tan!

“According to Meng Wu's statement, he hopes that we will make trouble in Xianyang City first, while he intercepts Ying Su at Yan Sect Pass!”

“After capturing him, send him directly to Xianyang City!”

“However... there is a premise here, that is... we must act first!”

“Not to mention controlling the entire Xianyang City first, at least we must push Ying Zheng to the throne!”

“This is to bind us together!”

Wang Wan said.

Li Tan nodded: “Indeed, but it must be said that this is a good method!”

“Push Ying Zheng up first, then, after Meng Wu returns, we first force Ying Zheng to kill Ying Su, and then, through Ying Su's death, force Ying Zheng to implement the enfeoffment system!”

“After the enfeoffment system is implemented, we will jointly support Prince Fusu as the Crown Prince!”

“Even... be more ruthless, we can directly force Ying Zheng to abdicate; in this way, the enfeoffment system will become a reality, and no one can stop it!”

While speaking, he was excited.

And who was the only one excited?

In Xianyang City!

Many nobles, many officials, they were all excited!

Unanimously, they actually started to move in the middle of the night!

Not long after, many nobles and officials gathered together!

They were all spreading Meng Wu's report of victory!

Telling each other the news that Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao were dead, and that Ying Su only had 20,000 people left!

In this way, almost in just one night, all the nobles in Xianyang City knew about this.

This matter was no longer a top secret!
