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

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Inside the Right Prime Minister's residence, Lord Changping looked at the crossbow and ox-horn bow placed on the table, and then thought of the recently released policies, his eyes became more solemn than ever before.

How long has it been since this? Such a lethal weapon has been developed!

And this is just what he has seen. How much more has he not seen?

The information he received mentioned that there was also a kind of extremely powerful artillery vehicle, which was said to have a range of half a mile. Its power was even more horrifying. It could create a hole several meters wide when it hit the ground. If it hit a person, wouldn't it crush him into meat paste?

Not only in the military field, but also in agriculture, life, and all aspects, all kinds of novel inventions emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The city of Xianyang was bustling with activity. From morning to night, the long queues in front of the Gewuyuan gate remained almost the same in length.

This action can be described as crazy, but the effect is also amazing.

Some inventions, such as the irrigation wheel and the honeycomb briquettes that can burn all night long, have even begun to be integrated into people's lives.

For example, a water pump was installed in his mansion. Also, on the streets of Xianyang, vendors began to shout and hawk their wares with loudspeakers. The huge noise could be heard by people in the alleys within a ten-mile radius.

Xianyang seemed to have become the forefront of the times. There were a wide variety of commodities here, including the popular snow salt, porcelain, white sugar, and perfume. Merchants from all over the world, like hungry wolves smelling meat, flocked to Xianyang just to obtain the distribution rights of some commodities.

It feels like the six countries are no longer equal to Qin, but more like vassal states of Qin.

Thinking of the source of all this, his headache started again.

Why can't such a person belong to his State of Chu?

He bent his right index finger slightly and tapped the table, thinking secretly.

A clear singing voice coming from not far away interrupted his thoughts. The song was the famous song of Chu State "Yang'a Xielu".

There was an interesting record of "Yang'a Xielu" in "Chu Ci". In the past, King Xiang of Chu asked Song Yu what hidden virtues he had and why the scholars and common people did not praise him much.

Song Yu said, "When a singer was a guest in Yingzhong, Chu, he sang "Xia Li Ba Ren" and thousands of people sang along. But when he sang "Yang A Xie Lu", only hundreds of people drank. When the singer sang "Yang Chun Bai Xue", only dozens of people sang along. If he continued to increase the difficulty, only a few people would sing along."

The higher the curve, the fewer the harmony. In any industry, there are only a handful of people standing at the top, and now these people are constantly pouring into the Qin State.

He knew that he had to find a way to stop this trend. Otherwise, if it became a trend, even if Su Xuan was eliminated, the six countries would inevitably perish.

The best way is to slow down the development of Qin. Before he becomes the King of Chu and issues the same policies, Qin cannot be too advanced.

He needed to plant a hidden player next to Su Xuan, gain his trust, know his movements at the first time, and know the latest weapons of Qin. Only in this way would Chu be able to fight.

He looked in the direction of Mi Lian, thinking that his daughter should be able to understand him.

All this is for the State of Chu!

......

Zhangtai Palace.

"Sir, you are right. There are indeed people who betray their own people in the Imperial Armory!" Ying Zheng took a deep breath, anger surfacing in his eyes. "I have repeatedly issued bans on this matter, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to commit a crime in defiance of the law. It seems that they really don't take me and Wang Ling seriously!"

Su Xuan took the memorial and glanced at it roughly. It recorded in detail the perpetrators and the process of the crime.

The armory commander Zhao Bu secretly took away a pair of mechanical crossbows and ox-horn bows, and with the help of his brother Zhao Fu, they were passed on to many places and finally delivered to Changping Jun.

In addition to Zhao's troops, there are also some other spies from the six countries who are also carrying out some actions in secret, but they are all small characters and their efficiency is far less than that of Zhao's troops under the arsenal commander.

"What does Your Majesty plan to do?" Su Xuan asked seriously.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly. He had always trusted Mi Qi, but what he did now made Ying Zheng suspicious.

As a civil official, especially an official of the Qin State, why was he so eager to know the latest weapons?

Being in Qin but heart in Chu?

His actions make it hard not to have this thought.

If it were someone else, Ying Zheng would naturally not be so entangled, but Mi Qi was not only the right prime minister, but also his father-in-law. At this level, it is difficult to prove that he had the intention of rebellion.

"I have promised you that I will never tolerate those who betray me!" Ying Zheng said solemnly, "I will have those spies from the six countries arrested and imprisoned in Xianyang Prison for interrogation. Zhao Bu, the commander of the armory, knowingly broke the law, and his crime is even more serious. He should be torn to pieces by a chariot! His brother Zhao Fu, as an accomplice, is also guilty. All his property will be confiscated and he will be exiled to Shuzhong."

"As for Lord Changping Mi Qi, it is still impossible to determine what his intentions are. I would like to observe him for a while longer. Do you agree?"

Su Xuan pondered for a moment and reminded, "In this world, not many people can withstand the test of death. The armory commander Zhao is likely to drag out everything. Once Changping Jun appears in the case file, the king will not be able to ignore it."

"If that's the case, I'll handle it impartially!" Ying Zheng's expression remained unchanged, showing the decisive side of an emperor. "Taking this opportunity to weaken the power of the Chu clan may not be a bad thing."

Seeing that Ying Zheng had made up his mind, Su Xuan said no more.

For him, it didn’t matter whether Changping Jun rebelled or not. As long as the Qin army’s blade was sharp enough, what mattered if they had an army of 100,000 or were ambushed?

As long as you are strong enough and have enough firepower, you can still kill the enemy even in adversity!

Besides, if Changping Jun set up a trick, he could also use the same trick against him. He thought he was on the third layer, but what he didn't know was that Su Xuan was in the atmosphere.

The two then exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Ying Zheng talked about Su Xuan's junior brother Li Si, saying that although he was good at speculation, he was indeed capable. Ying Zheng had promoted him to Yanwei, who was specifically responsible for judicial trials in Xianyang, and that all matters of judging cases were under his hands.

It is certain that Li Si has talent. After all, in history he was the prime minister of Qin.

But wasn’t this promotion too fast? He originally thought it would take at least one or two years of hard work, but in the blink of an eye he went from being a minor official to becoming the Yanwei, one of the Nine Ministers.

Ying Zheng seemed to see through Su Xuan's thoughts and explained with a smile, "Sir, you are alone, so it is inevitable that you will be stretched to the limit. Li Si is your junior fellow apprentice, so he can help you a little."

Su Xuan: So all this is because of me?

In other words, there are no devil fruits in this world, otherwise everyone would give him face.
