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

While Su Xuan was enjoying himself, Changping Jun was in a state of anxiety.

He didn't know what went wrong. The matter had been done secretly enough, but it was still exposed.

But fortunately, they were not targeting him specifically. Dozens of people inside the Imperial Armory, including the Arsenal Commander Zhao Bu, had been arrested and imprisoned.

Not many people can do such a drastic thing.

Su Xuan and Ying Zheng, these two names flashed through his mind first.

Was it expected, or...

Those of him who know about this are all his close confidants who have followed him for many years and there is no way they would leak the news.

Su Xuan has been indulging in beauty at the farmhouse recently. Normally speaking, he has no extra energy to take care of this matter, but Changping Jun feels that he must have been involved in this. He believes that it is not excessive to pay more attention to Su Xuan.

In the past, Lu Buwei and Lao Ai did not pay enough attention to each other, and now both of them are beheaded and dead.

"News came from the palace that this was an order issued by the king himself." A confidant came to report after finding out the news.

Changping Jun paced back and forth, thinking secretly.

Beg for mercy? He quickly shook his head. For such an important military matter, even if Queen Mother Huayang came forward, it would be useless.

The Qin State was governed by law. When Crown Prince Ying Si broke the law, Ying Qian was punished on his behalf but he could not escape punishment. How could the laws of the Qin State change because of an armory order?

Since the matter is irreversible, the only thing we can do is minimize the losses!

Thinking of this, his expression became cold and ruthless.

When a chess piece loses its value, there is no need for it to exist!

He waved his hand to call over his confidant and whispered something in his ear. After he finished speaking, he saw the confidant quickly retreat.

What he did was very simple. He responded to all kinds of changes by remaining unchanged. He just pretended he didn't know about the matter and did nothing.

In secret, he sent people to bribe the jailer with a large sum of money and poison the food to make Zhao Bu shut up as soon as possible and prevent him from revealing himself under torture.

What he was worried about was the Zhao tribe that would make random accusations against him while he was still alive. As long as he was dead, he would not be afraid even if he had betrayed himself before.

After all, the two latest weapons were in his hands. He could just find a political enemy to take the blame and clear himself of all responsibility.

As for Zhao Fu, Zhao Bu's younger brother, Mi Qi hesitated for a second, but finally decided to get rid of him as well.

Although Zhao Bu was the only one who knew about him, Zhao Fu had always been working for Zhao Bu. He was not sure whether Zhao Bu had mentioned him to Zhao Bu. In order to avoid hidden dangers, Zhao Fu had to be killed!

After all, once Zhao Bu died, the people in Xingyu would most likely use this as a pretext to break down Zhao Fu's psychological defenses and thus reveal evidence that was unfavorable to him.

As long as there is no solid evidence, no one can do anything to him based on his identity.

What Changping Jun didn't know was that Zhao Gao, the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, was leading a young eunuch to the Zhangtai Palace to plead guilty.

“Your Majesty, I failed to discipline him properly and allowed him to leak the news from the palace. Please punish me.” Zhao Gao knelt on his knees, prostrated himself and kowtowed, showing an appearance of loyalty to the emperor.

Since his last encounter with Su Xuan, he changed his strategy and hid his ambition more deeply. Since he could no longer control Luowang, he tried his best to control the power within the palace. He adopted many godsons to help him keep an eye on any movement in the palace. Unexpectedly, today gave him an unexpected surprise.

It turns out that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!

He has always firmly believed that sooner or later, he will stand at the pinnacle of power!

Before that, what he had to do was to gain enough trust from Ying Zheng and then wait for Su Xuan to make a mistake.

What Lu Buwei said was right, everything rises and falls, when Su Xuan’s power reaches its peak and is enough to threaten the throne, that will be the time of his downfall!

No king can tolerate a subject who has the ability to rebel at any time. This is a fundamental problem!

"Zhao Gao, you did a good job." Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "What information did he leak?"

"The king ordered people to arrest Zhao's group before, and soon after, someone entered the palace to find out who gave the order." Zhao Gao answered truthfully, then looked at the eunuch behind him, indignant, "This traitor leaked the king's information. I request that he be chopped into a human pig to serve as a warning to others!"

Ying Zheng looked at the man expressionlessly. His majestic gaze frightened him into silence. He said coldly, "Let him speak."

"Please spare my life, Your Majesty. It was Changping Jun's servant who asked me for the information, and I really could not refuse." He was crying and was scared to death. He had always leaked the information to outsiders, but everything went well. But who would have thought that this time he would be hit by a disaster.

"What nonsense!" Ying Zheng shouted angrily, "According to you, the leak of weapons from the Armory is related to Lord Changping?"

"Prime Minister Mi is a pillar of our Qin. If he wants to see the weapons in the armory, he only needs to tell me. I will let him see them at any time. Why should he do it secretly?"

Ying Zheng waved his hand impatiently, "Drag him away and beat him to death!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!" The man had just said a few words to beg for mercy when Zhao Gao blocked his mouth with a piece of silk cloth.

"Zhao Gao, what did Prime Minister Mi want to do by hiding this from me?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with a cold expression.

Zhao Gao knelt down and said in fear, "Your Majesty, I am only responsible for your affairs. I don't know what the ministers are thinking."

Ying Zheng glanced at him, but did not make things difficult for him. He waved his hand and asked him to step aside.

He looked at the empty hall and felt an unprecedented loneliness.

Mi Qi, are you going to betray me too?

Ying Zheng murmured softly, with a flash of pain in his eyes.

I trust him so much and have given him enough power, why would he do such a thing without telling me?

How many things are there that he doesn't know?

He felt a little chilled, and his mentality changed unconsciously.

Among all the civil and military officials in the court, he could not find anyone else he could trust except the gentleman.

He suddenly felt relieved.

The scenery from a high place is often lonely. It would not be beautiful if there are too many people. Having only one person, sir, by his side is enough!
