Chapter 297

~4 min read 613 words

In the Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Gao respectfully handed the intelligence found by the Luo Wang to Seeing Ying Zheng.

Seeing Ying Zheng took the intelligence and began to read it.

The intelligence showed that back then Cheng Qiao led troops to attack the State of Zhao, and Fan Yuqi was the deputy general. Because Cheng Qiao was not familiar with military affairs, all military matters were decided by Fan Yuqi. Cheng Qiao raised troops to rebel, and Fan Yuqi seemed to have given him some help. It was just that later, after Cheng Qiao was brought to justice, Fan Yuqi escaped the chaos.

And why was he able to escape the chaos?

Zhao Gao also found out the reason. It seemed that it was because Fan Yuqi's reporting of Cheng Qiao's rebellion had merit, coupled with Lord Changping and many ministers pleading for Fan Yuqi, allowing him to atone for his crimes with meritorious service, so he was not implicated.

"Interesting! Fan Yuqi, I have truly underestimated you!"

The corner of Seeing Ying Zheng's mouth outlined a cold smile.

No wonder Fan Yuqi did not have anything happen to him back then. It turned out that reporting Cheng Qiao's rebellion had merit. Was it because after instigating Cheng Qiao to rebel, he found that Cheng Qiao was difficult to achieve success and did not want to take his own destruction with Cheng Qiao? So he reported him?

If Fan Yuqi had been determined to follow Cheng Qiao to rebel and walk to the end on the road of rebellion, Seeing Ying Zheng might have looked at him with higher regard. But he hesitated at the last moment and betrayed Cheng Qiao, which was truly difficult to make Seeing Ying Zheng give birth to a feeling of admiration.

After knowing some of the things Fan Yuqi did back then, Seeing Ying Zheng had no more trust in Fan Yuqi. What remained was only contempt, disdain, and... killing intent!

Let Zhao Gao temporarily withdraw.

Seeing Ying Zheng found Su Xuan once again.

"Mr. Su, what you said is all true. Fan Yuqi really has a problem!"

For Seeing Ying Zheng being able to find these things, Su Xuan was not surprised. After all, Fan Yuqi's hands and feet were truly not clean. "Since you know he has a problem, what does Your Majesty intend to do? Execute him directly?"

"I am indeed prepared to execute him! Such a villain who is two-faced and double-dealing, keeping him is of no benefit!" Seeing Ying Zheng said with chilling killing intent.

"Since Your Majesty is prepared to execute Fan Yuqi, then I suggest 43 that this matter be handed over to Lord Changping to do!" Su Xuan put forward another suggestion.

Seeing Ying Zheng was startled when he heard this. He originally prepared to issue an edict to execute Fan Yuqi directly, but Su Xuan said a proposal that surprised him.

Lord Changping had rendered great service in the Lao Ai rebellion and helped him a lot. After Lu Buwei fell from power, he had the intention to rely heavily on Lord Changping.

Lu Buwei was originally called Chancellor, but in reality, he was the Prime Minister. Therefore, in the Lu Buwei era, there was no such thing as Left and Right Chancellors. Also because of this, Lu Buwei's power was too great. Therefore, right now, Seeing Ying Zheng prepared to restore the Left and Right Chancellor system, and Lord Changping was one of the Chancellors he selected.

"Why does Mr. suggest letting Lord Changping do this matter?" Seeing Ying Zheng was very curious.

Su Xuan's speaking never shot arrows without a target. Clearly, it had its purpose.
