The more group members there are, the faster Ying'an's integration will improve.
If Ying An had previously been passive in the chat group missions, waiting for the mission to appear, then now, his attitude had completely changed, from passive to active.
For Ying An, even if it was a chat group task, there was no reward after completing it. The spread of the template meme alone was enough for Ying An to gain huge benefits.
Of course, although Ying An initially took a proactive approach to the troubles of the chat group members, his immediate priority was the unification of the Qin Dynasty world.
After Ying An personally destroyed the two kingdoms of Han and Zhao, the Kingdom of Wei was also destroyed under the attack of the Qin army.
The unification of the Qin Dynasty became increasingly unstoppable. All the philosophers and schools of thought joined the Qin army.
After Ying An's return, Yan and Qi were left with only their capitals, still locked in a desperate struggle. However, with the assistance of the various schools of thought, the two states could be conquered at any moment.
Now the only one left is the Chu State!!
If Ying An wants to deal with the State of Chu, then the Chu faction in the Qin court is a problem that he has to face.
After so many years of marriage between Qin and Chu, not only did the Qin royal family have Chu blood flowing in their bodies, but many ministers in the court who were close to the Chu clan were the real threat.
If Ying An wanted to purge the Chu faction from the court before attacking Chu, he would have to face a painful choice.
Too many people are entangled with the Chu faction.
If it were an ordinary person, he would certainly be extremely cautious about this kind of issue.
But Ying An is different!!
The moment he made up his mind to target the Chu faction, Ying An directly summoned Li Si and Jing Niu.
Li Si and Jing Niu, one external and one internal, were responsible for the construction of Ying An's envisioned Jinyiwei, a counterbalance to Luo Wang. The latter controlled Luo Wang and served as a member of Ying An's harem. Their intelligence and other expertise ensured Ying An's secure position on the throne.
Of course, the Jinyiwei that Li Si is responsible for establishing is still in its infancy.
But if we can take advantage of this opportunity to target the Chu faction in the court, the Jinyiwei will surely experience a surge in strength.
After all, with the fall of the Five Kingdoms, almost everyone in the world could see that the future belonged to the Qin Dynasty.
If you want to become an official, the only choice is the Qin Dynasty.
Unfortunately, there were too few seats in the imperial court. With so many people waiting anxiously in Xianyang, there were countless people waiting anxiously.
If the Jinyiwei started recruiting at this time, perhaps those truly talented people would look down on the Jinyiwei as a tool, but there would definitely be many people who would join Qin Wumen and choose to join the Jinyiwei.
Even if only one out of a hundred people who joined the Jinyiwei was useful, it would be a great help to the now impoverished Jinyiwei.
Seeing Jingwei and Li Si, they knelt in front of him respectfully.
Ying An finally pulled his thoughts back.
"Li Si!!"
"I'm here!!"
"I ordered you to form the Jinyiwei. What's the current situation?"
Li Si froze in his tracks. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Your Majesty, I have already established the framework of the Imperial Guard. I just don't have enough manpower. Otherwise, I could have the Imperial Guard up and running in no time!"
"Really?" Ying An glanced at Li Si noncommittally and said, "If that's the case, then I'll give you a chance!!"
After Li Si and Jing Niu showed their attentive listening, Ying An finally spoke, "The unification of the Great Qin is now a foregone conclusion. However, there are those in the court who are obsessed with their homeland. They are even secretly colluding with the State of Chu to obstruct the unification of the Great Qin. I need you to uncover all these people with ulterior motives!"
Jingwei acted as if she would do whatever Ying An said.
But when Li Si heard Ying An's order, he was completely stunned.
How many people in the Qin court were secretly colluding with the Chu State to withdraw funds? This is a confusing account that is impossible to explain clearly.
From Lord Changping to the numerous ministers, there were very few people who had no connection with the State of Chu.
At the very least, he had been invited to a banquet by Lord Changping.
Anyone who strikes against the Chu clan, except for the King of Qin, Ying An, will die! Even the King of Qin might not be able to withstand the backlash from the Chu clan.
At this time when the Qin Dynasty was unified, Ying An actually chose to attack the Chu clan. In Li Si's opinion, how unwise was this?
"Your Majesty!" Li Si bowed and said, "I believe that the primary goal of our Great Qin should now be to unify the world. As for the petty officials in the court, they are nothing but minor ailments to the great power of the Great Qin."
"Li Si? You should know what the Jinyiwei's duties are!" Ying An narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Si.
Chapter 334: There is only one will in the world, and that is me!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Li was immediately frightened by Ying An's attitude.
When Ying An proposed it and Li Si formed the Jinyiwei, Li Si already understood that this so-called Jinyiwei was just another trap.
How could Li Si not know what an organization like Luowang meant to those in power?
It is no exaggeration to say that both Luowang and the Jinyiwei that he is now setting up are essentially just tools.
And tools must not have their own ideas! !
Li Si humbly bowed to Ying An and said, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"
Glancing at Li Si, Ying An said, "I haven't thought about killing you yet. I hope you won't make me kill you. Do you understand?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty understands!" Li Si, who had just been to the gates of hell, was almost soaked with cold sweat.
Glancing cautiously at Ying An, Li Si asked, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to target those who cherish their homeland?"
"Kill!" Ying An looked at Li Si with a half-smile and said, "Those with evidence should be punished according to the law. Those without evidence... go find enough evidence! Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Si's heart skipped a beat. How could he not understand that Ying An was now clearly trying to clean up the court? Anyone with ties to the Chu State could be accused of being nostalgic for their homeland at any time.
As for whether this accusation is true?
Didn’t you hear what Ying An said just now?
If there is evidence, the punishment should be just and fair. If there is no evidence, then go and find enough evidence.
The former is fine, but the latter is clearly telling Li Si to fabricate charges.
As a disciple of the Legalist school, Li Si, although flattering his superiors, still had his own bottom line. Unfortunately, Ying An did not allow him to have that bottom line now.
If he really followed Ying An's instructions, fabricated charges, and started a massive prison, it goes without saying that he would be infamous for eternity!
Although Li Si was greedy for fame and fortune, he still declined the thought of being infamous for eternity.
Just as Li Si was racking his brains, thinking about how to satisfy Ying An's requirements and clear himself.
Jingwei took the initiative to speak.
"Do we need to kill everyone?"
Li was startled and subconsciously looked at Jingwei.
Ying An revealed a satisfied smile and said, "Targeting those people in the Great Qin court is different from previous assassinations. We cannot resort to such brutal means directly!"
Although Jingwei had grown, she was clearly still accustomed to a straightforward approach. In essence, she was more of a tool. Even if she had a heart of her own, she still couldn't truly grow into a superior being.
Nodding as if she understood, Jingwei said, "Whatever your majesty says, I will do!!"
At this time, Li Si was really complaining in his heart.
How could he be the same as Jing Niu? The latter relied solely on influence, so even if he made a mistake in this order, he wouldn't face any serious punishment. At worst, he still had the protection of the King of Qin, Ying An. But Li Si was different!
Li Si had a feeling that if he couldn't satisfy Ying An in this mission, not only would his future promotion be hopeless, but he might even risk being thrown out by Ying An to appease the public anger.
Just as Li Si was weighing the pros and cons, Ying An's voice rang in his ears like thunder.
"Li Si, you should know very well that only the Great Qin can give you what you want. Moreover, you should also know why all the philosophers and schools of thought are willing to submit to me. Even now, there should be only one will in the world. That is me!! I am good at getting along with everyone and I am good at dealing with everyone. In the Great Qin, there is only one way to go!"
Ying An's words instantly woke Li Si up from his dream.
He knelt hurriedly and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reminder. I understand!"
With a satisfied smile, Ying An said, "Now that you understand, let's do it. I hope the Jinyiwei and Luowang won't let me down!"
After watching Li Si leave, Ying An opened his arms. Jing Niu was immediately delighted and rushed into Ying An's arms.
While enjoying the warmth and softness of Ying'an.
After leaving Xianyang Palace, Li Si did not return to his residence. After constantly urging the driver to speed up, Li Si soon arrived at his destination.
Li Si felt the carriage stop. However, he did not get off immediately. Instead, he hesitated in the carriage for a long time before finally mustering up the courage.
Not long after knocking on the door of the mansion, Li Si, who had introduced his identity, was welcomed into a living room of the mansion.
"Junior brother!! It's been a long time!!" Accompanied by a burst of laughter, Li Si finally saw the person he wanted to see this time.
That's right! !
It’s Han Fei!!!
As early as when they were at Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Li Si realized that he and Han Fei were not on the same page. Everything he wanted, Han Fei had been born with.
I don't know if it's because of jealousy or something else.
Since arriving in Qin, Li Si had collaborated with Han Fei quite a bit, but it was only at work. In private, Li Si and Han Fei had almost no personal relationship.
After such a long time, this was the first time that Li Si took the initiative to visit Han Fei.
"Greetings, Senior Brother!" Li Si gave a wry smile, bowed to Han Fei, and said, "Senior Brother, I'm here to ask for help!"
"Oh?" Han Fei raised his eyebrows and said playfully, "Ask for help? I'm also an idler now. Why would you think of asking me for help?"
"Brother, please stop joking!" Li Si smiled helplessly and directly told Han Fei about the task assigned to him by Ying An.
Of course, Li Si omitted many details. After all, having an affair with a concubine was a grave crime. And if Ying An's intention to deal with the Chu faction were exposed, it would cause a huge uproar in the Qin Empire.
No matter which one it is, Li Si, the instigator, will surely die without a burial place.
What Li Si actually revealed was only a tiny part. However, as a student of Li Si, coupled with his understanding of Li Si and his knowledge of the Qin Dynasty, he was able to gain a deeper understanding of the Qin Dynasty.
Han Fei instantly understood why Li Si had come to him for help. The reason was simple. The mission Ying An had assigned to Li Si had practically pushed him into a corner!
After a moment of silence, Han Fei said, "Junior brother, do you feel you are in a dilemma now?"
Since he had taken the initiative to find Han Fei, it meant that Li Si had completely given up the idea of competing with Han Fei. He had let go of his obsession.
Hearing Han Fei's words, Li Si nodded and said, "Indeed! Your Majesty has entrusted me with an important task. However... However, I cannot speak frankly about this matter! If I truly follow Your Majesty's instructions, I'm afraid the Qin court will be engulfed in bloodshed in an instant!"
Chapter 335: The grand ambition to conquer the world and open up the three realms!
Han Fei remained noncommittal about Li Si's reaction.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Han Fei seemed like a playboy. Even when he was in Xinzheng, Han State, he always protected Han Law. However, as a disciple of the Legalist school, Han Fei was never a soft-hearted person.
Han Fei's apparent indecision stemmed from a conflict between his own ideals and the laws of Korea. Even though he knew his decisions and ideals would benefit Korea, Han Fei, a man who championed the rule of law, could not transcend the laws of Korea. This was the true reason for his seemingly kind heart.
You have to understand that as the culmination of the Legalist school, Han Fei absorbed almost all the characteristics of his predecessors. Once he established a comprehensive system, he could not only be kind like Shang Yang, setting up a tree as a token of trust, but also be ruthless and ruthless in his actions against anyone who violated it.
Although Li Si was also a descendant of the Legalists, he was too selfish. To the point where his selfishness even surpassed his own Legalist ideals.
Therefore, when faced with Ying An's order that almost cleansed up the Qin court, he appeared indecisive, wavering between self-preservation and his ideals.
"Junior brother!" Han Fei said with a smile, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Li Si was stunned, not quite understanding what Han Fei meant. After a moment's thought, he said, "Your Majesty is a genius. Unrivaled in history. There has never been such a talent before, and there will never be such a talent again!"
I'm afraid even Ying An could not have imagined that from Li Si's mouth, he would get a judgment that was almost the same as Gai Nie's evaluation of the First Emperor.
Nodding slightly, Han Fei continued, "If that's the case, then Junior Brother, if the King insists on his own way and really unleashes a bloody storm in the Qin court, will the Qin Dynasty be in chaos?"
After just a little thought, Li Si understood what Han Fei meant.
Don't forget that all the schools of thought have now been incorporated into the Qin Empire. Countless disciples of these schools are desperately seeking official positions but are unable to obtain them.
If Li Si really stirred up a bloody storm in the court and purged the old ministers, I wonder how many philosophers would applaud and want to sit in that position themselves as soon as possible.
With just these numerous disciples from various schools of thought, there is absolutely no way that the Great Qin would be in chaos!!
Kill one minister, and there are hundreds or even thousands of outstanding scholars from various schools of thought waiting to take his place. Under such circumstances, how could the Qin Dynasty be in chaos?
Li Si looked at Han Fei helplessly and shook his head. "No! Unless the king has the order, otherwise, the people from the various schools of thought alone are enough for the king to replace the entire court several times!!"
Nodding as a matter of course, Han Fei said, "If that's the case, then what are you afraid of, Junior Brother?"
"Brother!" Li Si said with a wry smile, "I am different from you. Princess Honglian is quite favored in the Xianyang Palace. Even if you make a mistake, you can protect yourself with Princess Honglian. But I am alone. If I am retaliated against because of the king's order, I am worried..."
Although Li Si suddenly stopped talking at the end, Han Fei took the initiative to speak on Li Si's behalf: "Are you worried that the king will kill you to appease the public anger, just like Shang Jun did in the past?"
The great men of the Legalist school, whoever achieved something, rarely had a good ending. They usually ended up dead and their teachings were gone.
Li Si's dream was wealth and glory, but he didn't want to suffer the same fate as his predecessors before he had truly grown up!
