Chapter 50

With such terrifying combat power, who wouldn't tremble?

Likewise, this is the main reason no one dares to oppose Ying Su in the court!

At that moment, everyone's hearts trembled with fear!

Wang Wan continued, "If it were merely Li Yuanba, that would be one thing, but the key is, this boy has already begun training soldiers!"

PS: Begging for flowers, begging for evaluation votes!!

042. Rebellion, extermination of three generations!

"Training soldiers?"

"How is this possible?"

The moment the words left his mouth, instantly, everyone was stunned!

Wang Wan smiled, "Gentlemen, do you not go out? Haven't you seen the recruitment notices plastered all over Xianyang City these past two days?"

"It is said this is for training soldiers for Ying Su. Because the conditions are generous, and moreover, they do not have to perform corvée labor, in just these four or five days, over fifteen thousand people have already gathered!"

"Moreover, it is still expanding now!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's scalps went numb!

"This boy... what is he training soldiers for?"

"Does our Great Qin not have enough soldiers already?"

Everyone's hearts trembled with fear!

Wang Wan said:

"Although Great Qin has soldiers, how many are actually under Ying Su's command?"

"All of Great Qin's armies are currently in the hands of generals like Wang Jian, General Meng Tian, and Li Yao!"

"And all these people look to Wang Jian as their leader; Wang Jian only obeys the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor! General Meng Tian is the same!"

"So, what do you think he is training soldiers for?"

"He wants to have an army of his own!"

Wang Wan proceeded to explain!

Everyone's scalps still went numb: "No... I mean, what is he training soldiers for? Having Li Yuanba alone is enough; he can completely control Zhangkongchaotang. What use does he have for soldiers?"

"Great Qin hasn't fought a war in these past few years; what does he need to train soldiers for!"

Everyone was horrified; everyone was panicked!

Even though they had absolutely no idea what Ying Su's intention was in training soldiers.

But... the moment Ying Su training soldiers was mentioned, they felt uneasy and anxious!

"Gentlemen, I feel we can no longer sit idly by and wait for disaster!"

"I feel that today's incident with Sima Yan was absolutely no coincidence; this boy's treacherous ambitions are almost becoming blatantly obvious!"

"Sooner or later, he will replace everyone in the court with his own people!"

"Today it is Sima Yan; tomorrow it could be me, Wang Wan; the day after tomorrow it could be you, Grand Commandant Wei Wei Liaozi!"

"In another day, it could be..."

Some people proceeded to speak.

And once these words were spoken, for a moment, everyone panicked; everyone feared!

Because... they all understood that what was said was true!

Just looking at the things Ying Su has done since ascending the throne, he completely has this intention!

"But... we... what can we do?"

"Let alone the ten thousand soldiers he just recruited, even if it were just Li Yuanba alone, we could not deal with him!"

"In terms of hard power, we are simply not his match!"

One person said in panic.

The others all nodded!

The reason they have been obedient and compliant in front of Ying Su during this period is not because they submit to Ying Su, but because... they are afraid!

They simply do not have the ability to eliminate Li Yuanba!

Plus, Ying Su is prone to killing indiscriminately; everyone is afraid of provoking him!

Yes!

Ying Su!

Before Ying Su, they all believed the First Emperor should be the most brutal emperor!

But... when Ying Su appeared, they realized that the First Emperor's brutality was child's play in front of him!

For instance, the massacre of fifty thousand Qin Army soldiers in Outside Xianyanggong!

Seeing Ying Zheng would never do such a thing even if beaten to death!

After all... those were the armies that unified the six states; they were all the First Emperor's own armies!

Take Chunyu Yue for example!

Back in the day, Wei Wei Liaozi once criticized the First Emperor Ying Zheng until he was utterly humiliated, yet the First Emperor did not kill Wei Wei Liaozi!

But what about Ying Su?

Chunyu Yue merely mentioned the feudal system in the past, and he was killed by him.

This man is brutal; he is by no means a benevolent ruler. Plus, since no one has ever called Ying Su "Emperor," no one dares to bare their teeth in front of Ying Su!

At that moment, everyone sighed!

Everyone felt a sense of helplessness!

Facing a fierce man like Li Yuanba truly makes one feel suffocated and despairing from the bottom of their heart!

They hated Ying Su and found him unbearable, but... they truly had no good solution!

"How about... we go find the First Emperor!"

Just then, suddenly, a young official spoke a sentence!

The moment those words left his lips, everyone's hearts instantly trembled with fear!

Many swallowed their saliva and said:

"Find the First Emperor? What for?"

That person said:

"Find the First Emperor to help the First Emperor reclaim his power!"

"Execute Ying Su! Root out the tyrant! Let the First Emperor regain control of the universe!"

He spoke with burning passion, his whole body trembling!

And the moment those words left his lips, everyone's hearts instantly trembled with fear!

Wang Wan even slapped him across the face right there on the spot:

"Impudent! Bold!"

"Who becomes Emperor, is that something for a mere child to talk about?"

After scolding him angrily, he turned and left!

The others likewise dared not stay long and hurriedly departed!

Leaving only that person with a completely confused face: "This... didn't I just voice what you all were thinking?"

Feng Quji patted his shoulder and sighed, "Some things can be done, but cannot be spoken!"

"And some things can be spoken, but cannot be done!"

"Although we are dissatisfied with him, we use the methods of political struggle between ministers and the Emperor, not some kind of rebellion!"

"Ah?"

That official still did not understand!

Seeing him so obtuse, Feng Quji felt somewhat angry, but still patiently offered guidance:

"Ying Su was the heir to the throne explicitly chosen by His Majesty the First Emperor, and he has now ascended for over a month. If you overthrow him, what difference is there from rebellion?"

"And rebellion means the extermination of three generations!"

"What?"

The moment those words were spoken, that person's face turned deathly pale!

In that instant, he seemed to understand why Wang Wan had slapped him.
