The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought

Under the leadership of Ying Zheng, many court officials marched towards Yongcheng in a mighty procession.

There were only a few people left in the court.

"Marquis Changxin, why are you standing there without moving?" Meng Ao looked at him with concern and asked enthusiastically, "Do you need my help?"

"Is he feeling guilty?" A general murmured quietly and sneered inwardly.

Looking at the pairs of eager eyes, Lao Ai looked grim and snorted coldly, "I can leave by myself, so there is no need to bother you!"

He walked out of the hall, and Meng Ao and his companions followed closely behind him.

Over the years, under Lu Buwei's conservative foreign policy, they have not gained much military merit. Now that the credit is within their grasp, they will never let it slip away.

To suppress a rebellion, especially for a big figure like Marquis Changxin, is a great achievement!

The younger generations in their family are all waiting for this opportunity to show their talents!

When everyone arrived at Yongcheng, they found that the residence of Marquis Changxin had been surrounded.

Countless old Qin people came spontaneously, holding hoes, sickles and various other weapons. Even though they were wearing cloth, they were not afraid of the soldiers guarding the mansion. They were all filled with righteous indignation and cursed loudly.

"Lao Ai, you traitor, how dare you plot to murder the king? I, Old Li, will beat you to death with a hoe today!"

"You are so ungrateful, you are worse than pigs and dogs. The king has been so kind to you, yet you are so heartless!"

"I, the Qin people, don't have bastards like you!"

Looking at the excited old Qin people, Ying Zheng was deeply moved.

The men of our Great Qin are all men who stand tall and proud!

"The king has arrived!"

With a loud shout, the people of the Qin Dynasty who were surrounding the king turned around, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "Long live the king! Long live the Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Zheng stood on the shaft of the chariot, his eyes swept over everyone present, he took a deep breath, and said loudly, "My fellow elders and brothers of the Great Qin, the Qin law has an order that you do not have to kneel when you see the king while wearing armor. Although you are wearing plain clothes today, your loyalty and bravery are no less than that of the Great Qin warriors. You are all good men of the Great Qin!"

He waved his hand and asked them to stand up and greet him. "The matter of Lao Ai's rebellion is of great importance. Today, I will lead all the officials in the court to find out the truth. I will not wrongly accuse any loyal minister, nor will I let any treacherous person go!"

"If the evidence is irrefutable, no matter who the person is or who is protecting him, I will never tolerate it! If anyone dares to obstruct, they are going against the officials of the court, against me, and against countless old Qin people!"

"I will never let anyone disregard the laws of the Great Qin. Merits must be rewarded and punishments must be punished. This is the foundation of the Great Qin and will not be shaken by anyone!"

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with a complicated expression. This was a powerful force that would crush Lao Ai to death!

The Queen Mother was powerful, and he controlled both military and political power. All of this was based on the Qin State.

How can a simple individual compete with the entire Qin State?

His eyes were dark and uncertain, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion. What he was worried about now was his own situation.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Su Xuan inconspicuously.

All these changes were caused by him, and his methods were so fierce that people couldn't help but feel terrified.

Can I really beat him?

For some reason, a trace of fear rose in his heart, because he knew that even if he gave up his power, Su Xuan would never let him go.

Because they are the same kind of people!

Perhaps it is time to leave Qin. No matter how far his arms extend, he is still out of reach in other countries!

Upon hearing this, Lao Ai's face turned pale and his body began to tremble like a sieve. The fear in his heart surged like a tide, not only because he had lost his last support, but also because he was guilty of treason and was going to be sentenced to death!

How could a fair-looking guy like him endure such a crime?

"Your Majesty, when I sent people to summon Lao Ai's confidants here, only Nei Shi Xuansi came. The rest of them have disappeared. I suspect they have defected after getting the news." Wang Jian reported while standing beside Ying Zheng.

Xuan Si, who was originally drunk, thought that Lao Ai summoned him to discuss the rebellion with Shang, but he never expected that Ying Zheng was right in front of him. He was so frightened that his heart and liver trembled, and he even had a physiological reaction, vomiting and diarrhea.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered thousands of sets of armor hidden in the mansion of Marquis Changxin, as well as hundreds of powerful bows and crossbows, and a number of swords and halberds." Not long after, Meng Ao also brought the good news.

"Your Majesty, there are several items, and I don't know whether I should present them to Your Majesty." Meng Ao looked embarrassed.

"Present it." Ying Zheng looked at Lao Ai expressionlessly. He wanted to see what surprise Lao Ai had prepared for him.

"Yes!" Meng Ao responded respectfully, then waved his hand, and two soldiers came over carrying a box.

When they opened the box, the contents inside shocked the ministers present.

The Qin King's sword and black dragon robe were exactly the same as Ying Zheng's. More importantly, there were several straw figures inside with Ying Zheng's name written on them, and silver needles were inserted on the figures.

It is obvious that this is to curse Ying Zheng!

"You are so evil, Lao Ai, you have such evil intentions, how dare you curse my king!"

"The legendary witchcraft? Lao Ai, you are such a vicious and sinister villain! If I were to execute you, I would chop you into pieces and tear you into pieces!"

"You are a beast in human form! You are unworthy of being my subject!"

......

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. The ministers present all scolded him and distanced themselves from him, especially those who had previously defected to Lao Ai, who were the most enthusiastic at this time.

Lao Ai's lips trembled, his face pale, and he shouted, "This is all slander! I want to see the Queen Mother! I want to see the Queen Mother!!"

"Report!" Meng Tian rushed over at this time, "Your Majesty, when I summoned the Weiwei Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie attempted to resist and was killed by me." After saying that, he raised the bloody head in his hand.

"Report!" Wang Li said after a moment, "Your Majesty, I have captured the escaped Zhong Dafu Ling Wang Jie, Zuo Ge Dong Qi and several others."

"They confessed to the charge of treason and signed their names."

"Then let's execute it according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty." Ying Zheng said with an iron-faced and impartial side. After saying this, he looked at the court officials and asked, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise." No ministers dared to say a word against him and they all cheered.

Looking at the many ministers who were bowing their heads and submitting at his feet, Ying Zheng suddenly felt proud and in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, I promise to stay in Yongcheng and not go anywhere else!" Lao Ai wanted to rush to Ying Zheng to beg for mercy, but was quickly stopped by Wang Jian and his party.

"My lord, I don't need so many fiefs, and I don't want any power. Please spare my life for the queen mother and for the harmony between mother and son."

"My lord, I really know I was wrong..."

He kept begging for mercy, tears streaming down his face.

Ying Zheng remained expressionless from beginning to end, and in the end he just replied indifferently.

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."
