Ying Zheng's move directly disrupted all of Lü Buwei's deployments.

The barracks had lost a lot of soldiers, and I had planned to select the people I had promoted during the court meeting. But Yingzheng came to the barracks overnight, first cut off one person, and gave everyone a dismount. The personnel arrangement was made on the spot, this was in the army, and it was issued by the King of Qin, that is, the holy decree, which saved many herald procedures.

Even Chang Pingjun was on Ying Zheng's side, and even if Lu Buwei racked his brains, he couldn't think of any other way. Again, although he has the power to scheming, he has no ability to lead troops, and he doesn't know what the soldiers need.

And Yingzheng's plan is exactly what the generals want to see. To put it bluntly, politics must be built on the basis of strength, even if many government affairs are not very familiar, but with soldiers in hand, there is confidence in the heart. gathered the hearts of the army and won the love of the generals, which was also learned from Zhao Ji.

In Yongcheng for three days, Yingzheng did not do nothing. Under Zhao Ji's guidance, he understood what those soldiers needed, and also learned what the real emperor's art was. Zhao Ji even told him that even if Ying Hao and Chang Yu fought in private, under mutual checks and balances, they would eventually listen to her wishes.

Ying Zhengxue is also fast, and with the stationing of 10,000 garrison guards, it can stabilize the morale of the army and make the generals overjoyed. Let them understand that they still have soldiers to bring, even more capable of fighting than before. With hope, everyone naturally supports it, even Changpingjun has seen this, the general trend is the trend, and he naturally wants to push the boat with the current, but Lu Buwei can't see it clearly.

Zhongli said coldly: "From now on, I don't want to see a military formation like the Iron Bucket Formation again, it's completely filling with my life." There are so many people who have died, and there are those I teach, and all the generals must punish themselves. The transfer of 10,000 guards is also my intention, and it is supported by the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. ”

"Lord Changpingjun, please tell me, why didn't you immediately send troops to support when Chang Yu led troops into Xianyang? If you start a street fight with them, on a familiar terrain, the losses can be minimized. ”

Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Changpingjun, why don't you immediately send troops to Xianyang?" If you act as soon as possible, Chang Yu's soldiers will have no chance to attack the Qin Palace. As long as you delay for an hour, reinforcements from all over the country will come one after another, and you are also a person who has led troops to fight for many years, don't you understand this truth? ”

Changping Jun was depressed in his heart, this was a pretext to play, and it was estimated that his position as the left prime minister would not be kept. At this point, he could only reply: "Because Lu Xiang brought me a piece of news, Chang Yu's main purpose for this military disaster in Xianyang was to kill him." If the investigation is not clear, the losses will be great if the troops are sent blindly. ”

"But I didn't expect the garrison to be so capable of fighting, losing most of the troops, the minister is guilty, please ask the king to deprive me of the position of prime minister. The sins you have committed should be used to bear them, and those who come after you will understand this lesson. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Quasi-play, temporarily idle at home, but also be ready to use it again." In this king's plan, you will definitely be indispensable in the future war. ”

Changpingjun replied with satisfaction: "Thank you, King." ”

Changping Jun was happy in his heart, and Ying Zheng said this, indicating that there would be a chance to lead troops to the battlefield in the future. This is just an introduction, maybe Lu Buwei will also be unlucky, when this Lu Xiang can't do it anymore, then he can completely fill the vacancy left behind. At least he still has connections in the army, and what Lu Buwei doesn't understand, he understands.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng asked: "Lord Zhongfu, I handed over the Xianyang task to you that day, and in just a few days, I made the Great Qin National Strength depleted. Please answer me, where are you when Chang Yu led the troops into Xianyang that day? ”

Lü Buwei was in a low mood and said, "I'm in the barracks. ”

Ying Zheng said: "You are not in Xianyang, what are you doing in the barracks?" Changping Jun is here, do you think that your combat ability is stronger than him? I, the prime minister of Great Qin, don't sit in the center, but also meddle in military affairs. Just because of your arrival, Changping Jun had a lot of scruples, thus delaying the fighter. ”

"In the final analysis, he is the prime minister of Zuo, you are the prime minister, and the official level makes him have to be cautious."

"Chang Yu was imprisoned, the security in Xianyang is still unstable, not only did you not return to Xianyang to command, but you also stayed in the barracks. Have you ever thought that if you stay in the barracks for a day, many generals will be afraid for a day, for fear that you will say something unfavorable to the court? ”

"When I returned to Xianyang, there was no one in Lu Mansion. Even if Chang Yu wants to kill you, he will only kill you, what does it have to do with those disciples of yours? ”

"In his position, do not do anything, what do you let this king do with you?"

Lü Buwei finally understood, Yingzheng first took Changpingjun to the knife, and now it was his turn, and hurriedly said: "Please allow me to return to Xianyang immediately, there are many government affairs in the court, and I still need to take care of them, I will stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible, and never make it difficult for the king." ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed, "No need. ”

"I stayed in the palace for half the night, and I reviewed a large number of concerts, and most of the ministers were doing things, and they also knew that I was in the palace, and tried every means to send them to me to read. Looking at those recitals, my heart is happy, my courtiers of Daqin are all loyal and do things in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"But there is a situation that makes my heart ache, there is no middle father in those recitals. In other words, the middle father himself is not in Xianyang, but you are my prime minister of Great Qin, and you are the right-hand man of this king. When there is chaos in Xianyang, but you are not by my side, what will the other ministers think? What will the queen mothers think? ”

"Xianyang is extremely short of manpower, this king now announces that he will depose his father as prime minister, wait for home reflection, and ask his father to return to his hometown in Bashu immediately, and Xianyang will not go."

Everyone didn't dare to make any sound, this punishment was too heavy, and once they were in power, they actually demoted the ministers of Tuogu to concubines. At least Changpingjun still has a thought, he can recuperate at home with peace of mind, after all, there is Yingzheng himself who said that he will be promoted in the future. But for Lü Buwei, there is not a word to use it again, which shows that he has been disgusted with Lü Buwei for a long time, and the young king can no longer bear it.

Lü Buwei seemed to be many years old, and sighed: "Since the king still calls me my middle father, and he has done his best to me, maybe over the years, many decisions have annoyed you. But I still have to say that Daqin can't do without me for the time being, government affairs are more complicated than military affairs, and the connections involved in it are intertwined. If I were gone, there would be no one to admonish ...... king. ”

Ying Zheng raised his hand and said: "Please rest assured, I have already made a resolution on these, tomorrow the court will discuss it, Li Si will take your place, Wei Yi will be the national lieutenant, Feng Zheng will be the imperial doctor, and Feng Quji will be the right prime minister." Lord Mi Chen will also step down from his post as prime minister and concentrate on being his lieutenant commander. ”

"Many people are very young, but they are not afraid to be young, they can exercise slowly, at least they are obedient and will not go against me."

Lu Buwei was surprised: "Feng father and son were promoted to this position, can they really do a good job?" Please be cautious, Lord. Li Si has studied in Lu Mansion for many years, and I have no objection to him being the prime minister, because he has that ability, but the Feng family does not have many connections in the court, so it is difficult to sort out the relationship, I am afraid it is not suitable. ”

Ying Zheng said: "It's best if it doesn't matter, it's more obedient that way." Over the years, Father Zhong's network of contacts has been huge, but my Great Qin's national strength has not increased much. Since it doesn't work, then you have to overturn it and start over, you oppose the Feng family and his son, I'm afraid you also have selfish intentions. Because they never go to Lu Mansion, you don't like it. ”

"And where they are, it's easy to offend people, and if you offend, you can offend, at least the decree can be conveyed well. When an edict is issued, it reaches its destination, and it becomes another meaning, and this king does not want to see this happen again. ”

"That's it, the middle father can watch from his hometown and see if I can use them well."

Lu Buwei's heart was completely cold, and once he was a son of heaven and a courtier, he directly knocked him to the mortal dust. Looking at the people in the big tent, this is not a court, and no one can help him speak.

The disheartened Lü Buwei finally admitted this fact, bowed his head and said: "The subordinates obey the order, please allow me to watch the king's punishment of Chang Yu one last time, and then return to my hometown." ”

Ying Zheng frowned, the reason why he didn't punish Chang Yu in advance was to find a way to get out of Chang Yu. Now that Lu Buwei is not leaving, then if he wants to save Chang Yu's life, he can't do it. There are too many secrets involved in this, and if they are not handled well, they will leave many tails, which will make people criticize.

He also heard Lü Buwei say: "Chang Yu should be punished for the crime of conspiracy and rebellion, not only that, but his two children must also be executed immediately, so as not to lose their tail." A true monarch can never truly establish his authority without experiencing the baptism of blood. ”

Ying Zheng's face was ugly, and at this time, he came to teach himself a lesson. Zhongli was also speechless about this, but Lu Buwei's request really couldn't be refused.

Ying Ai, who was sitting next to Ying Zheng, whispered a few words in Ying Zheng's ear with a smile on her face, and Ying Zheng smiled. As for what he said, only Zhongli, Qianzi, and Qiankui heard it.

Ying Ai whispered to Ying Zheng: "This old and immortal stinky old man, since he dares to make his brother unhappy, let him see it." When this is over, let the Praetorian Guards escort him back to his hometown and monitor his every word and deed. One day, he will say the wrong thing, and it will not be too late to be executed. ”

Ying Zheng laughed in a low voice: "There is no need to be executed, he is my middle father after all, and I still remember this old feeling." Since he wants to see me kill, let him see enough. ”

The corners of Ying Ai's mouth curled, and she whispered: "He said that other people's tails can't fall off, I think it's his own tail that can't fall off, since the prince's brother doesn't want to care, then let me come, and no one can have anything to do with my brother afterwards." ”

Ying Zheng patted Ying Ai's little head and stopped talking. Ying Ai is right about one thing, Lü Buwei has been operating in the Qin State for decades, and there are too many resources for various connections, and now he is in the position of prime minister, and his influence is still deep-rooted in Xianyang.

Especially the talent in the Lu Mansion, many people are used by the politicians, and if Lu Buwei says something in his hometown, many people will listen to it. Ying Zheng is most afraid of such a person, and several queen mothers in the palace have also done this before. It may seem like doing nothing, but it can affect many people.

And Lü Buwei is used to teaching Yingzheng a lesson, and at this time, it depends on him punishing Chang Yu, if he does not satisfy him, it will inevitably have a deep impact. Ying Zheng hates this kind of person the most, being old and not dying is a thief, then it depends on what means Ying Ai has to do it, at least Ying Zheng can't do it himself.
