"In the name of recuperating, but actually under house arrest. Lord Lord Changping, what exactly did you do?"

Han Fei was very smart. Combining the fact that there were strange guards around Lord Lord Changping's mansion and that they prevented anyone from visiting, he immediately guessed some clues.

Lord Lord Changping might not be sick.

Ying Zheng's edict claiming Lord Lord Changping was seriously ill was just an excuse. The real reason was likely the first half of the edict: Lord Lord Changping had violated the laws of the state.

Since Han Fei entered Qin as an official, he had been a colleague of Lord Lord Changping for many years and had some understanding of Xiong Qi's character. He was indeed a smart person.

Han Fei was very curious about what Lord Lord Changping Xiong Qi had done.

Others were equally curious.

A childish voice sounded in front of Han Fei, "Teacher, why does Father not allow me to visit my uncle?"

This voice brought Han Fei back to reality. Han Fei lowered his head and looked at the young boy in front of him.

The boy was named "Fusu," the eldest son of Qin. His mother was a princess of Chu. Although Lord Lord Changping's mother was the daughter of Qin King Zhaowang, in terms of seniority in Qin, he was a generation higher than Ying Zheng. But after Ying Zheng married his half-sister, according to Chu, the seniority of the two was pulled to the same generation.

Lord Lord Changping was Fusu's uncle.

After Ying Zheng issued the edict and dismissed Lord Lord Changping, many people tried to visit him, including Fusu. Unfortunately, even as the eldest son, he was still obstructed.

Later, after Ying Zheng learned of this, he found Fusu and reprimanded him.

Ying Zheng still remembered the look his father gave him after reprimanding him, a look full of complexity.

Han Fei sighed in his heart, 'The King of Qin is not forbidding you from visiting Lord Lord Changping; he is clearly protecting you! If Lord Lord Changping really has problems, you should not have too much contact with him!'

'Even if the King of Qin doesn't care about these things, sometimes, even the King of Qin cannot stop the gossip of the masses. Being too close to Lord Lord Changping will put you in an unfavorable situation!'

Han Fei did not tell Fusu these words directly.

He did not answer Fusu's question but continued to tell him about the theories of the Legalists, "The reasons why a wise monarch achieves merit and fame are four: first, heavenly timing; second, human hearts; third, skills; fourth, position. Without heavenly timing, even ten Yaos cannot make a grain grow in winter; going against human hearts, even Ben and Yu cannot exhaust human effort. Therefore, obtaining heavenly timing means success without effort; obtaining human hearts means persuasion without urging; relying on skills means speed without haste; obtaining position means fame without pushing. Like water flowing, like a boat floating. Guarding the natural way, executing endless orders, so it is called a wise monarch..."

Fusu listened to Han Fei's lecture, put away his messy thoughts, and listened carefully.

After the eldest son Fusu was born, Ying Zheng doted on him extremely.

In order for Fusu to become a qualified successor, after Han Fei entered Qin, he immediately appointed Han Fei to be Fusu's teacher. Han Fei's Legalist theories were the theories of emperors. If Fusu could learn them seriously, becoming a qualified successor would be a matter of course.

It was also because he had been instilled with Legalist studies by Han Fei since childhood that the Fusu of this world was somewhat different from the Fusu of the original world. Although Han Fei came from the Confucian school, because of his teaching, Fusu did not blindly promote Confucianism as in history.

In the Zhangtai Palace, after temporarily dealing with Lord Lord Changping's affairs.

Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan another question, "Does Mr. Su know where the Nongjia is hiding?"

Su Xuan nodded.

"To destroy the Nongjia this time, how many troops does Mr. Su need?" Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan again.

Although he had said in front of Lord Lord Changping that he wanted to destroy the Chu he cared about, the destruction of Chu could not be rushed, and one could not act on impulse.

However, the destruction of the Nongjia that Su Xuan mentioned in front of Tian Guang could indeed be put into reality.

The Nongjia was used by Tian Guang and Lord Lord Changping to help them do many things and was their greatest help.

Such a Jianghu sect, sitting on tens of thousands of disciples, would be fine if they were willing to be used by Qin, but they were unwilling. Keeping them was a huge hidden danger.

After Su Xuan said those words, Ying Zheng also made up his mind to solve this Nongjia trouble.

Su Xuan shook his head.

Ying Zheng was confused, "What does Mr. Su mean by this?"

Su Xuan said, "I mean, without a single soldier, relying solely on my Yin-Yang School, we can destroy the Nongjia!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was stunned and asked again, "Is it really possible without using a large army? As far as I know, the Nongjia claims to have 100, 00 disciples. Although there are not actually 100, 00, there are still tens of thousands."

It was only after using the Luo Net organization to investigate the Nongjia in detail that Ying Zheng discovered that, unknowingly, the Nongjia had developed to such a scale. More importantly, the Nongjia developed under the funding of Lord Lord Changping.

Where did Lord Lord Changping get the money?

Wasn't it from Qin?

In other words, Lord Lord Changping used Qin's money to raise a private army of tens of thousands.

At present, the Nongjia was only helping Lord Lord Changping do some hidden things. If the world were in chaos, Lord Lord Changping would probably wave his arms, and these tens of thousands of Nongjia disciples would rise up and become a rebel army.

Su Xuan explained, "Although the Nongjia has tens of thousands of disciples, most of them are just ordinary people who had to join the Nongjia because of the war. Their demands are also very simple: to survive. The core disciples of the Nongjia are concentrated in the six halls. Just eliminate them, and the entire Nongjia will collapse on its own because it will be leaderless!"

"Relying solely on the power of the Yin-Yang School is enough to deal with the Nongjia!"

Out of trust in Su Xuan, after Su Xuan finished these words, Ying Zheng did not say more but respected Su Xuan's opinion. Of course, although he did not mention the Nongjia's large numbers, he still cautioned Su Xuan, "If the Yin-Yang School cannot solve the Nongjia, Mr. Su can send a message to me at any time, and I will order the army to attack and trample the Nongjia!"

"Although it is not yet the time to destroy the state, sending troops to destroy the Nongjia is no problem!"

Su Xuan nodded and gladly accepted Ying Zheng's kindness.
