Chapter 467

~3 min read 534 words

Lord Changping was a high-ranking official of the Qin Guo. After the fall of Lu Buwei, in order to weaken the power of the Chancellor, Ying Zheng reinstated the system of Left and Right Chancellors. To be precise, the Qin Guo had always had a system of Left and Right Chancellors, but because Lu Buwei's power was too great, he was once honored above all in the court, which was why there was that period of being called Chancellor but acting as the State Chancellor.

Lord Changping was the Left Chancellor of the Qin Guo, while the Right Chancellor was the veteran official Wang Wan!

The Qin Guo honored the right. In history, Lord Changping even rose from Left Chancellor to Right Chancellor, which showed how highly Ying Zheng valued Lord Changping. But in this world, although Ying Zheng still appointed Lord Changping as Chancellor, after knowing that Lord Changping had problems, he did not continue to promote him. Although Lord Changping still held the title of Left Chancellor, in his heart, Ying Zheng had long since sentenced him to death.

Hearing Lord Changping volunteer to go and quell the rebellion, many ministers praised Lord Changping one after another.

And Ying Zheng also had the answer in his heart: the Nanyang rebellion was indeed the work of Lord Changping.

"Is it because of Mr. Su that you felt danger and prepared to take the opportunity to remove yourself from the court and go to the land of Nanyang to act as an outside response for the Chu State?"

Combining the earlier visit of Xiang Yan to the Qin Guo to meet Lord Changping, Ying Zheng secretly guessed Lord Changping's purpose.

Afterward, facing the loyal-seeming Lord Changping, he gave a direct response: "Not permitted."

He did not agree to Lord Changping's proposal to go to Nanyang to quell the rebellion.

In Lord Changping's calculations, even if Ying Zheng realized he might have some problems, in the face of major issues like the Nanyang rebellion, Ying Zheng would definitely agree to his proposal and let him go to Nanyang to quell the rebellion. He never expected that Ying Zheng would actually not permit it.

This caused the faint, confident smile that had originally appeared at the corner of his mouth to freeze abruptly.

The court meeting ended.

Ying Zheng chose others to go to Nanyang to quell the rebellion.

Lord Changping deeply felt that things were out of his control.

On this day, he received a letter.

The person who wrote the letter was Su Xuan.

In the letter, Su Xuan did not have too many polite words, only saying that since Lord Changping had invited him to drink that day, to show courtesy, he also had a gift prepared to give to Lord Changping.

Honestly, after seeing the content of the letter, he did not really want to attend the meeting. After all, he had previously made Su Xuan drink poisoned wine and had even sent people to ambush Su Xuan. For this period of time, Su Xuan had not come to find him, which in itself was problematic.

But after thinking about it, he ultimately chose to attend the meeting.
