Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

The King of Qin looked gloomy and frowned, as if he was thinking about an extremely important question. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Li Qing! Don't go back to King Li. It's not safe anymore. Stay here." Hearing this, Li Qing's heart was slightly shaken, and a little surprise appeared on his face, but it disappeared in an instant, replaced by calmness and composure.

He knew that the King of Qin's move must have a deep meaning, so he bowed and responded, "As you command, Your Majesty!" The King of Qin waved his hand, asked Li Qing to stand up, and then turned to the chief guard beside him and ordered, "Immediately prepare a secluded, safe and reliable house for Li Qing to live in. There must be no omissions!"

The chief guard took action and led Li Qing through a dark and deep corridor, and finally arrived at a seemingly simple but mysterious residence. The room was simple and plain, without too many luxurious decorations; the four walls were extremely solid and thick, which could effectively block external interference; the windows were tightly covered by a thick curtain, making the light in the room dim and blurry, as if it was isolated from the world.

At this moment, the captain of the guards stepped forward, stopped only one step away from Li Qing, then knelt on his knees, lowered his head, and said in an extremely respectful tone: "Sir Li, if you have any other needs or requests, please feel free to tell me to do it." When he spoke, his voice was low and his attitude was humble, which made people feel the awe in his heart.

Seeing this, Li Qing raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied softly, "Thank you." Then, he turned around and walked to the chair in the room and sat down, closing his eyes, adjusting his breathing, and trying to calm his mind. After a while, he opened his eyes and began to sort out the various clues and information in his mind, thinking about the next action plan.

At the same time, the King of Qin held the bamboo roll tightly in his hand and walked into the study with firm steps. He gently placed the bamboo roll on the desk, then carefully opened the lid and took out a roll of paper from it. After unfolding the paper roll, the King of Qin carefully read the text on it word by word. As time passed, the King of Qin's brows gradually frowned and his expression became more and more serious.

"It's just as I expected. King Li has made some moves." The King of Qin murmured to himself in a low voice, with a hint of determination in his eyes. It seems that he has been fully prepared for what might happen next.

The King of Qin looked solemn, and he called his servants to quickly gather the other princes. Everyone sat in the study room with trepidation, and the whole room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

The King of Qin carefully took out the bamboo tube and handed the secret letter to the other princes for them to read. After everyone had read it, he frowned and said in a low voice: "What do you think of this matter?" For a moment, the study was silent and everyone was silent.

After a while, the King of Chu spoke first: "What is King Li going to do? Everyone knows what he is thinking! Those who want to seize power and usurp the throne must not be let off! I think we have to act quickly and make preparations in advance, just in case!"

King Yan immediately took over the conversation: "But if we act rashly now, we might scare them. I think it's better not to act yet and arrange people to secretly keep an eye on King Li and his accomplices. Then send people to find evidence, and when the time comes, we can defeat them in one fell swoop and leave them nowhere to escape!"

While listening to the opinions of the two princes, the King of Jin lowered his head and pondered. He knew that both strategies had their pros and cons, and the current situation was urgent and he could not afford any hesitation. Just as he was thinking hard, a guard rushed into the study room anxiously, knelt on one knee, and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, Prince Lei is here."

The King of Qin nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal the guards to lead Yi Lei into the palace. After Yi Lei understood the reason, his expression was solemn, "I have thought about it carefully just now, and I think we should adopt a two-pronged strategy." Yi Lei lowered his voice and spoke carefully. "First, we can secretly send elite guards to monitor every move of the Prince Li's mansion and collect more evidence. At the same time, we can also place spies in the court to closely monitor the movements of the Prince Li."

Yi Lei paused, and then said, "Secondly, we can secretly contact some loyal generals and be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the hall. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Prince Jin's decision.

King Jin frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, indicating his approval of his son's proposal: "What do you think?"

Several princes agreed that the plan proposed by Yi Lei was very thorough and worth a try. They immediately issued an order, ordering the people in each government to act according to the plan. The people from all walks of life followed the order and left, and a thrilling contest began...

------------------------------

The night was deep, everything was silent, and the entire Qin Palace was shrouded in tranquility. However, the guards in the palace did not relax their vigilance, but instead began to work nervously and orderly. They were dressed in black, moved swiftly and agilely, and shuttled through every corner of the palace like ghosts.

At the same time, Li Qing still stayed quietly in the hidden room, staring out the window, as if he could see through the darkness. He was fully focused and never relaxed, always paying attention to changes in the situation.

At dawn the next day, the sky was a little light. Several princes had already finished washing and went to the palace to meet the emperor. They knew that this matter was of great importance and they had to report the cause and effect of the matter and the current situation to the emperor in detail.

In the imperial study, the princes told the emperor what they had seen and heard, and put forward their own opinions and suggestions. After a heated discussion, everyone reached a consensus: they should secretly mobilize troops and be on high alert to prevent any unexpected events. Once there was any sign of trouble, they could immediately go out and fight back.

After the discussion, they deployed their troops and actively prepared strategic materials according to the plan agreed upon in advance. For a time, the whole country was filled with a tense atmosphere, but everyone understood that this was just a brief calm before the storm...

Before leaving, the King of Qin turned around and looked at the Emperor: "Brother Yu, although he is your son in name, he is not your real child after all..."

The Emperor met the King of Qin's gaze and said, "He shouldn't have..."

He shouldn't disregard the lives of the common people... This position should be held by the capable. If he is really capable, no matter what the retired emperor decides, he would be the emperor now.
