Chapter 92

Overthrow Great Qin?

This is impossible!

No one has such great courage!

Their real purpose is enfeoffment!

By pressing the border with a large army, they are forcing him to implement enfeoffment!

Ying Zheng was furious!

He shouted directly at Zhao Gao: "Where is Meng Tian? Where has Meng Tian’s army reached now?"

He roared and asked!

The moment he learned that the nobles had raised an army, he gave orders to Meng Tian, telling him to lead the twenty thousand Meng family troops to Xianyang City with all speed!

The main purpose of this twenty thousand-strong army was not to suppress Ying Su, but... to suppress these forty thousand noble private armies!

Do they really think that by bringing forty thousand troops, I will compromise?

If they want to support me, fine; whoever dares to mention enfeoffment, I will kill them!

Ying Su only asked you to pay taxes, but I want to exterminate your entire clan!

Even if I kill all the nobles in the world, I will never allow enfeoffment to run rampant!

063. The Xiongnu are invading, Baiyue is invading, Tuan is invading! Signs of national collapse!

Outside Xianyang City!

In the courtyard!

At this time, Ying Zheng was very angry!

And soon, Zhao Gao hurried over!

It’s just... his words made Ying Zheng even angrier!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no news for now!"

"No news for now?"

Ying Zheng’s eyes were cold!

Zhao Gao bowed in a panic: "From Xianyang City to Shangjun, a round trip takes at least ten days!"

"And today... is only the ninth day!"

He knelt and kowtowed.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and didn't speak!

On the other side!

In Wang Wang Jian’s mansion!

At this time, Wang Wang Jian was also extremely angry!

Ying Su said that today he would either take him away or take his granddaughter Wang Lan away!

What does this mean?

A threat?

Or coercion?

Wang Wang Jian was furious!

At this very moment, he even had a very bold idea!

That is... to directly tie up Ying Su and hand him over to the First Emperor.

It’s not his fault for thinking this; it’s really... Ying Su is bullying him too much!

If he wants to target him, target him, why drag his granddaughter into it?

Misfortune should not reach the family!

Wang Wang Jian became angrier the more he thought about it!

But... no matter how angry he was, he had to force himself to calm down.

Forcibly tying up Ying Su was definitely not going to work.

Not to mention that the consequences of tying up Ying Su would violate his original intention of not taking sides between the new Emperor and the First Emperor!

Just the question of whether it could succeed was a big problem!

The current Ying Su is no longer what he used to be!

Last time he came to the Wang family, he only brought Li Li Yuanba, and there were two hundred people secretly guarding him!

The spectacle of him coming to the Wang family today is truly boundless!

Just outside the door, there are five hundred garrison troops.

There are more than three hundred in the dark!

Besides that, there are eunuchs and dozens of other people!

More importantly, there is Li Li Yuanba!

Just one Li Li Yuanba is completely enough to wash the General’s Mansion in blood, not to mention there are so many garrison troops?

He can guarantee that as long as he dares to make a move, countless people will immediately rush into the General’s Mansion!

Even... they won't even wait for him to make a move; just having this action will be detected immediately!

"Sigh... what should I do!"

Just when Wang Wang Jian was full of worry!

Suddenly, Wang Ben ran in and bowed hurriedly to Wang Wang Jian:

"The new Emperor... he... he is leaving!"

"Leaving?"

Once the words were out, Wang Wang Jian was shocked.

What does this Ying Su mean?

Is he forcing him to make a decision?

At that moment, Wang Wang Jian’s fists clenched until they creaked.

At this very moment, he was furious!

But after thinking for a long time, he still said to Wang Ben:

"Tell Ying Su that Wang Wang Jian is seriously ill and cannot see him off, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"If Ying Su insists on taking Wang Lan away, tell him that Wang Lan has been betrothed to someone since she was a child!"

"In two more years, she will be married; if you take Wang Lan away today, you are ruining my Wang family’s reputation!"

He said, cold light flickering in his eyes!

And once this sentence was out, Wang Ben was shocked:

"Wang Lan is betrothed to someone? This... how come I don't know about this?"

Wang Ben was extremely surprised, but after thinking about Wang Wang Jian’s previous words, he was shocked again:

"Father, you said he... insists on taking Lan’er away?"

"He... what does he want to do?"

Wang Ben swallowed his saliva; by this moment, how could he not understand his father’s meaning?

Using the betrothal as an excuse to stall Ying Su!

"But... what does this have to do with Lan’er?"

"Why does he insist on taking Lan’er away?"

Wang Ben’s scalp tingled!

Wang Wang Jian sighed: "That person is not a divine doctor at all, but the Great General he just recruited!"

"He fought with me on the sand table for two hours!"

"Before leaving, he told me that the new Emperor would either take Lan’er away today or take me, Wang Wang Jian!"

"What is this?"

"It is coercion!"

"It is naked coercion!"

"And my Wang family will never accept this kind of coercion!"

Wang Wang Jian said angrily.

And Wang Ben was full of worry:

"But... Father, if you do this, you will be opposing the new Emperor to the end!"

Wang Wang Jian said angrily: "This boy is too overbearing. If he forcibly takes Lan'er today, tomorrow I will take you all to find the Emperor and seek his protection! And I will advise the Emperor to overthrow Ying Su!"

"From now on, my Wang family and his Ying Su will be irreconcilable!"

Wang Wang Jian was furious!

He was truly enraged; he never expected Ying Su to be so despicable!

Bullying people right to his doorstep!

Wang Ben swallowed hard: "But... but..."

He was so shocked his scalp went numb, swallowing hard again and again!

Wang Wang Jian said angrily: "Do as I say!"

"This..."

"Fine!"

Wang Ben sighed, and finally, walked out of the room!

"Cannot see him off?"

Outside, Ying Su glanced at Wang Wang Jian's room, said nothing, and left directly!

This scene left Wang Ben somewhat confused!

Didn't his father just say that Ying Su insisted on taking Wang Lan?

And even... said something about using a betrothal to put off Ying Su?

But... Wang Lan is right here, perfectly fine!

Ying Su didn't say anything about taking Wang Lan!

Wang Ben was completely confused, but he still looked at Wang Lan immediately and asked with concern: "You... are you alright!"

Wang Lan looked at Wang Ben in confusion: "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Wang Ben frowned: "Then what did you and Ying Su do in the garden? Did he threaten you with anything?"

Wang Lan said: "We just looked at the little cats, dogs, and pigs I made!"

"Coerced you?"

Wang Lan was puzzled, "Other than telling me he wanted me to join the Great Qin Craftsmanship Office, he didn't say anything else, nor was there any coercion?"

Wang Lan was completely bewildered!

And at this, Wang Ben was stunned.

After thinking it over, he decided to take Wang Lan to see Wang Wang Jian!

There were too many oddities in this matter; he couldn't figure it out at all and had to let the old fox in the family analyze it!

Inside the room!

When Wang Wang Jian heard Wang Lan's description, his eyes narrowed in an instant.

After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "This new Emperor is not simple!"

Wang Ben was confused: "How is he not simple?"

Wang Wang Jian said: "His purpose in coming today was only one thing: deterrence!"

"Deterrence?"

Wang Wang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, deterrence!"

"Having Han Xin play a sand table game with me was to tell me that even without me, Wang Wang Jian, he possesses a general with formidable military capabilities!"

"Showing off the firearm with Lan'er in the back garden was also deterrence!"

"And those five hundred garrison troops, that was also deterrence!"

"Even Han Xin saying those words at the end was deterrence!"

"The fact that Lan'er wasn't taken away is the best proof of this!"

Wang Ben remained puzzled:

"But why would he want to deter our Wang family?"

Wang Wang Jian glanced at Wang Ben, somewhat disappointed!

This Wang Ben, in terms of fighting, is absolutely a top-tier fierce warrior!

But when it comes to court politics and scheming, he really doesn't put his mind at ease!

Even after being trained by him for so many years, he still doesn't put his mind at ease!

But what can he do if he doesn't? At this moment, he could only explain:

"Currently, the Emperor has left the palace; for Ying Su, this is a signal that the Emperor wants to overthrow him, and the nobles gathering four hundred thousand troops is an action!"

"Ying Su is not sure if Ying Zheng is standing on the side of personal interest or national interest!"

"This... is there a difference?"

Wang Ben remained puzzled!

Wang Wang Jian was so angry he wanted to hit him with a cane.

He scolded directly: "If one starts from the perspective of personal interest, the Emperor will definitely support these four hundred thousand troops, because these four hundred thousand troops bring not only military power but also represent an extremely strong political force!"

"The rebellious son is unprincipled, causing the whole world to resist."

"The Emperor returns to the throne, holds the universe in his hands, and gathers the hearts of the people!"

"This is definitely a fine story!"

"If the Emperor covets the throne, he will never let go of this excellent opportunity!"

"And if he stands on the side of national interest, then the Emperor will definitely oppose these four hundred thousand troops!"

"Think about it, these troops gathered by the nobles, regardless of whether they truly support the Emperor, have the suspicion of rebellion!"

"Targeting the new Emperor like this now, will they target him in the future?"

"And in the future, after the Emperor passes away, will they target the new Emperor like this?"

"No one can guarantee this!"

"If the Emperor stands on the level of national interest, he will never support them!"

"He must suppress the rebels and kill them all!"

"He must use this matter to deter all the nobles in the world to prevent such things from happening in the future!"

"But no matter what angle the Emperor stands on, this has a major impact on our Wang family!"

"That is... leading the troops!"

"If he stands on a private stance, who will lead these four hundred thousand troops to oppose the new Emperor?"

"If he stands on a national stance, who will lead the army to fight against these four hundred thousand troops?"

"In this situation, our Wang family may not be the only choice, but it is definitely the best choice!"

"The new Emperor came here this time to tell me, Wang Wang Jian, one thing through deterrence!"

"The critical moment has arrived; you, Wang Wang Jian, must not stand on the wrong side!"

Wang Wang Jian finished explaining!

At that moment, cold sweat streamed down Wang Ben's head.

At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh at the complexity of the current situation.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but look at Wang Wang Jian:

"Then what about our Wang family?"

"What should our Wang family do?"

"What if the Emperor asks our Wang family to lead the troops?"

Wang Ben had a headache!

Facing the current situation, he really didn't know how to respond!

Yes!

If they lead four hundred thousand troops to overthrow Ying Su, they will definitely offend Ying Su to death.

It would be fine if they won this battle, Ying Su would become a prisoner, and their Wang family wouldn't care about Ying Su anymore!

But what if they lost?

With Ying Su's personality, it would be strange if he didn't kill all the Wang family members!

Then lead the army to fight against the four hundred thousand troops?

This is a good idea.

At least, our Wang family is standing on the national level!
