Chapter 374

"Find a few more people to ask!"

He spoke these words!

Everyone else nodded: "This is a matter of life and death; we must indeed be cautious!"

"Find twenty more people to question. If even one person's testimony does not match Xia Ke Xing's, then we wait!"

They all thought this reasoning was sound!

Then, they began sending people to search!

And before long, the twenty people were found. To prevent them from colluding on their stories, they were brought in one by one for questioning!

At first, everyone, just like Xia Ke Xing, claimed that the victory report sent by Facing Ying Su was true!

But... after a round of enfeoffment and other inducements, finally, all twenty spoke the truth!

Although everyone's testimonies could not be perfectly consistent, the general direction was correct!

Facing Ying Su's hundred thousand men might now not even have ten thousand left!

Moreover, Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, Qiao Feng, Lu Lu Zhishen, and Lu Bu—they were all dead!

As for that secret letter and such, they knew nothing of the matter!

The crowd looked at one another, and finally all felt this was normal!

After all, for such a huge matter, the fewer people who knew, the better. If everyone knew of that secret letter, that would be the strange thing!

And the moment these twenty people left, everyone became excited!

Everyone was agitated!

"Facing Ying Su! It's over!"

"He is completely finished!"

"We must act immediately now!"

"Kill Facing Ying Su, force Seeing Ying Zheng, and implement the enfeoffment system!"

At this moment, everyone shouted!

And Ying Xi then spoke: "First, let me clarify: this action is not to overthrow our Great Qin, but to implement enfeoffment! Moreover, even with enfeoffment, you all will still be vassal states of our Great Qin!"

Everyone nodded: "Of course. This Jiangshan of the Great Qin was won by our ancestors; why would we overthrow it?"

"Becoming vassal states of the Great Qin is certainly no problem!"

Everyone shouted!

Ying Xi nodded in satisfaction!

Finally, the crowd began to discuss the detailed plan:

"First, to accomplish all this, we must resolve several problems first!"

"First, we must definitely stage a military coup!"

"But now, the problem we face is Fu Hao's two hundred thousand men, and Li Xin's one hundred thousand men!"

"These three hundred thousand men are a huge obstacle for us!"

"Second, that is General Meng Wu's attitude!"

"Will he participate in this military coup? And his mission: five hundred thousand men just to capture one Facing Ying Su—is that not making a mountain out of a molehill?"

"Third, regarding Facing Ying Su: should we escort him to Xianyang City before killing him, or not let him return to Xianyang and kill him directly at Yan Sect Pass?"

"Fourth, there is also Seeing Ying Zheng's side: do we still need to continue pushing Seeing Ying Zheng up to the throne?"

"What benefits would we gain by pushing Seeing Ying Zheng up to the throne?"

"Fifth, after all actions are completed, whom shall we install as Emperor?"

At this very moment, Wei Pao voiced these questions!

And after the crowd deliberated for a long time, someone spoke:

"General Meng Wu's attitude should be clear. The Meng family has long been bound to Prince Prince Fusu. Even without this incident, the Meng family would have to oppose Facing Ying Su; otherwise, on what basis would he be so active?"

"But ordering his five hundred and fifty thousand men to kill Facing Ying Su is indeed a bit of making a mountain out of a molehill. Let General Meng Tian bring thirty thousand men to Xianyang City!"

"In this way, they can completely form a confrontation with Li Xin and Fu Hao's thirty thousand men!"

"But during this period, we must begin gathering our own private armies. I have calculated that once these people are gathered, in a short time we can assemble one hundred thousand men. Then, we will begin contacting the major nobles within the Great Qin borders, using the excuse of resisting tax payments to make them provide men, converging on Xianyang. If all nobles can respond, gathering five hundred thousand men will be no problem!"

"Five hundred thousand men plus General Meng Tian's three hundred thousand men—eight hundred thousand men—are enough to sweep away everything. Li Xin and Fu Hao's three hundred thousand men cannot stop us at all!"

"As for where to kill Facing Ying Su, this person is cunning. Do not let him return to Xianyang City; it is better to kill him at Yan Sect Pass!"

"Killing him can avoid many hidden dangers!"

"Whom shall we install as Emperor?"

"What else is there to say? Of course, it is Young Master Prince Fusu. He is kind-hearted and advocates ruling with benevolence. More importantly, he supports enfeoffment; this person is the easiest to control!"

"He can also create benefits for us!"

Once these words were spoken, no one objected!

Even Young Master Gao and Young Master Jianglu did not object!

Mainly because for so many years, Prince Prince Fusu has always been their mouthpiece!

Because of this, he has clashed head-on with Seeing Ying Zheng countless times!

This person made everyone's hearts submit in admiration!

"The matter of pushing Seeing Ying Zheng up to the throne..."

At this very moment, everyone was hesitating.

Some were also arguing fiercely!

On one hand, they believed that pushing Seeing Ying Zheng up to the throne would not bring them benefits; rather than doing so, it would be better to maintain the current situation, wait for Prince Prince Fusu and General Meng Tian to return, and then directly force Seeing Ying Zheng to write an abdication edict.

But others believed that if they could push Seeing Ying Zheng up to the throne, they would gain the authority to command Li Xin's one hundred thousand men!

This could greatly reduce resistance!

The most pressing issue now should be to deal with Ying Su, not to force Ying Su and Ying Zheng to join hands!

At this moment, many were arguing!

For a long time, they could not reach a unified opinion!

Finally, Wang Wan spoke: "He is the First Emperor; without his decree, how can Prince Prince Fusu become emperor? How can the feudal system be implemented?"

"First, push him up; once he is up, we may gain Li Xin's authority to command a hundred thousand troops!"

"Even if he refuses to cooperate with us, it matters little; before an army of eight hundred thousand, the Emperor must also compromise!"

At this very moment, Wang Wan spoke, and these words made many nod!

In the end, they finally reached an agreement!

First, push Ying Zheng up!

Otherwise, many matters will be troublesome!

"Then let us first push Ying Zheng, and then, shall we gather troops?"

At this moment, the crowd began to discuss the order of operations!

After pondering for a long time, they said: "First, send a letter to Meng Wu, ordering Meng Tian and Prince Prince Fusu to bring three hundred thousand men to Xianyang City!"

"Let Meng Wu wait at Yan Sect Pass; as soon as Ying Su enters Yan Sect Pass, kill him directly!"

"Then, we will gather troops and contact the nobles!"

"Once our troops have gathered, then we will push Ying Zheng to the throne!"

"Then, force him to implement the feudal system!"

As they planned thus, the crowd pondered for a long time, and all nodded: "Feasible!"

"Then there is no time to lose; act quickly!"

"Also, when contacting those nobles, tell them this is their last chance!"

"If this fails, then... there will be no chance ever again; everyone must prepare to suffer Ying Su's oppression!"

"Tell them this is to secure interests for all nobles; we must be of one heart!"

"We must be of one heart!"

At that moment, all the nobles shouted!

Afterwards, all the nobles began to act!

A mighty momentum is underway.......

164. Kill Zhuge Liang, kill Zuo Zuo Zongtang! Kill Xiao He, kill Li Si!

Great Qin!
