Chapter 360: The Zhu Family's Vigilance (First Update)
"Your Excellency, you used that Lu Jia in my Great Qin Dynasty to face the old Qin nobles who used the new deal to suppress them, and you cut off more than a dozen heads alone, and there are countless people who go to the border to serve as servants, how much resentment has this kind of behavior caused the old Qin nobles to have?"
This kind of thing was really the first time that the Zhu family said it to Yinggao, and the previous Zhu family had never mentioned it once, which made Yinggao stunned, but then he showed his signature smile.
"This is true, I have touched the interests of these old Qin nobles, these people naturally will not have a good impression of me, but what kind of feelings these people feel, I don't care much, if they can honestly be their nobles, I will not touch their status and status among the old Qin people, this is already a benevolent and righteous to them, if there are no more people who don't know what to do, hum ......"
Yinggao's sneer has already shown his attitude towards these so-called old Qin nobles, that is, contempt, Yinggao knows that their ancestors may have contributed to the creation of glory for Great Qin, but now they want to get a little too much from themselves, which Yinggao must not allow.
But Yinggao is a far-sighted person, but the Zhu family doesn't want to hear it, he saw that Yinggao was really such an indifferent bear, he could only sigh slightly, ready to tell something that he had never told Yinggao, and Yinggao had never asked about himself.
"Do you know how many assassinations he has suffered in Xianyang City since Na Lu Jia became a counselor and began to expose the actions of those old Qin nobles in the court?"
Of course, Yinggao didn't expect the Zhu family to suddenly ask such a question, although he seemed to know what the Zhu family was going to say in his head, but Yinggao was really a little interested in how many assassinations Lu Jia had suffered at this moment.
Because he knew that it was certain that Lu Jia had been assassinated or beaten, but with the Zhu family and Daqin's guards in charge of this matter, he was absolutely relieved, so naturally he hadn't paid much attention to it before. So Yinggao nodded and motioned for the Zhu family to speak.
"In the few months that Lu Jia served as the counselor of the Great Qin, I don't know who assassinated him nearly a hundred times in total, even if the king had already stopped him from providing evidence of disobedience to the new policy in the court, just five days ago, he was assassinated on the way back to the mansion, fortunately, I did not stop secretly protecting him, otherwise Lu Jia would have died on the way home."
When the Zhu family said this, it was really not a joke at all, and Yinggao, who was still standing in front of him and grinning, finally realized the seriousness of the problem this time.
A hundred times in a few months, what does that mean, it means that one or two days is once a day! And how long has this matter stopped, the people who should be dealt with have already been dealt with, and the safe people are already safe, and there is no need for them to assassinate Lu Jia anymore and cause trouble.
But what does that mean? This shows that after their hatred of Lu Jia, that is to say, there are some nobles of Great Qin who have not let go of Yinggao to deal with their family at all, in other words, they don't realize that there is anything wrong with what they have done.
"It is so rampant, whether those assassins were caught and put in place, and who instructed them?"
After thinking about it for a while, Yinggao was really a little angry in his heart, if the Zhu family relaxed a little, then Lu Jia might have to be killed by the killer on the way home one day, is this worth it?
As soon as he asked this, the Zhu family shook his head slightly, what Yinggao could think of, of course he knew it as a professional protector.
"Some of these killers fled when they saw that things were not good, and the people who protected them were afraid of falling into the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, so they did not chase after them, but they also captured several people during the period, but they were all dead soldiers, without names and surnames, and they did not know where they came from, so they did not inform the king."
"Dead? There are still dead soldiers in my Xianyang City? ”
The Zhu family didn't say that Yinggao didn't know, but as soon as the Zhu family said it, they really scared Yinggao, what is Xianyang City, it is the capital of Daqin, not only has a curfew, but also has a very strict censorship system for entry and exit.
But now it seems that a dignified Qin counselor has been assassinated nearly 100 times on the way from Xianyang Palace to his mansion in just a few months, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not shown his feet at all, this is Lu Jia has nothing to do until now, if Lu Jia really has an accident, isn't it equivalent to slapping Yinggao's face?
"Yes, most of these dead soldiers have some kung fu, before many old Qin nobles and the three princes and nine kings in the Great Qin Dynasty were very fond of raising doormen from the six countries, now although Great Qin has already unified the Central Plains, but these doormen still exist, and the people who do it are for the purpose of getting rid of dissidents, so naturally their identities will not be disclosed."
What the Zhu family said was obviously an open secret among the nobles and officials in Xianyang City, and the Zhu family is now a big official in Xianyang City, and they are responsible for very important things, so some big people who don't play with them on weekdays are still very happy to make friends with the Zhu family.
And in the process of making friends, the Zhu family also learned a lot of things from these people's mouths that were not in Xianyang City, and the Zhu family had always wanted to tell Yinggao about these things earlier, but there had been no suitable opportunity before, and he felt that if he told these things as if he was chatting, it was estimated that Yinggao would not take it too seriously, and now, this opportunity has really come.
"What do you mean...... Since he had the courage to intercept and kill the Zhu family when they returned home, he would also have the courage to go to the Xianyang Palace to intercept and kill me? ”
With Yinggao's cleverness, of course he knows what the Zhu family means by saying so much.
"The monarch is the body of ten thousand gold, when Jing Ke assassinated the original Qin Wangzheng, it was precisely because the power of the Yan State had been declining, and now the old Qin nobles in the city of Xianyang in Great Qin were also in the waning west, the monarch thought that they really couldn't make a dog jump over the wall?"
Yinggao has never experienced the batch of people who have assassinated Lu Jia, of course he is a little unaware of the seriousness of the problem, not to mention that it is one thing to dare to assassinate Lu Jia, if someone really dares to assassinate himself, it is another matter.
"The twenty lecturers summoned tomorrow are all people who have been lecturing in Xianyang City and the surrounding counties for a long time, and they are not people who can be installed at will, not to mention that the lecturers are still assassins, can't you tell them at a glance?"
"This ...... Having said that, but in my opinion, some old Qin nobles are afraid that they do not agree with the monarch's new policy, and it is very likely that this will give birth to a rebellious heart. ”
In terms of eloquence, the Zhu family must be 108,000 miles behind Yinggao, but when it comes to being alert to danger, the Zhu family is confident that they must be stronger than Yinggao.
And Yinggao is in Xianyang Palace day by day, he has never been to Xianyang City to see what kind of life the so-called old Qin nobles are, the Zhu family hesitated, but did not dare to tell Yinggao, that is, among the mansions of some old Qin nobles, it is really a little more luxurious than Yinggao's palace.
Ying Gao looked at the rare solemn expression of the Zhu family, and he also paid a little attention to this matter in his heart, and said that he was too optimistic about his previous feelings, and he secretly made up his mind that when the matter of summoning the lecturer was over, he would definitely make more efforts to deal with the problem of the disciples in the hands of these nobles.
These doormen Yinggao has heard a little before, some are specially made of advice, and some are specially used to kill people, Yinggao originally felt that this matter was slowly digested and it was over, but now it seems that this is simply a huge hidden danger, especially when the owners of these doormen are very resentful of themselves.
Daqin's new policy must be important to Yinggao, but of course this is not so important compared to his own life, if he is gone, then even if Daqin develops into a dynasty that dominates the world, it has nothing to do with himself.
Thinking of this step, Yinggao didn't care too much about his face, and directly stayed in Xianyang Palace for a while longer, what the two were discussing, no one knew, but judging from the happy look of the Zhu family when they left Xianyang Palace, it was obvious that it was his own words that the emperor of Great Qin had listened to.
The next day, what happened in Xianyang City was something that almost every ordinary person living in Xianyang City was talking about, because the leaders of the twenty schools of various schools who had been selected by the emperor of Great Qin had entered the court of Great Qin together on this day.
For an ordinary person of Great Qin, it was obviously a great honor to be able to enter the Xianyang Palace of Great Qin, not to mention that the current emperor personally summoned him.
As for what they are going to do, no one really knows, but the most widely circulated theory in Xianyang City is that these people are just like Lu Jia before, once his talent is valued by the emperor of Great Qin, he can directly serve in the court of Great Qin.
Although it may not be as directly in a high position as Lu Jia before, once ten or eight of them enter the Great Qin court, it will obviously make Yinggao's cronies more and more powerful in the Great Qin court.
This summons, although it was in the court of Great Qin, there were not all the officials of Great Qin, but only Ying Gao, Zhu Jia, as well as Meng Yi, Xiao He, Feng Quji, and Lu Jia.
Obviously, although these are not all of Yinggao's cronies, they are all the cronies related to this matter, and Han Xin is not very interested in anything other than fighting now, even if Yinggao wants him to come and feel the atmosphere of his new deal, the young Han Xin is not very happy to go.
Meng Yi and the others really came to the court early in the morning, only Yinggao's position was still vacant, Yinggao naturally had to wait until all these people he summoned were in place, and he could only appear, which was the emperor's prerogative.
At the same time, outside the palace gate of Xianyang Palace, there are twenty people in robes who are waiting in line for the inspection of the guards coming out of the palace gate, this is the process they must go through if they want to enter Xianyang Palace.
The guards at the door inspected it quite carefully, otherwise once these people brought something that should not be brought into Xianyang Palace, what about this person for the time being, and the first thing to check for him This person will be abolished, this is the strictness of the Great Qin Qin Law, and for these, Yinggao did not make any changes, he knows how important it is to let a person do his job well.
These twenty people, ranging in age from twenty or thirty to fifty years old, are really different, and some of them stand together in twos and threes, and some of them are alone and very far away from others, obviously from different places and different schools.
In this era, people from different schools of thought must have nothing to say, because they are scholars, and they have to promote the things of their own school as soon as they open their mouths, and the ideas preached by different schools are very different, so it leads to a seemingly incompatible relationship between them.
After the routine body search, the people who passed began to cautiously walk in the direction of the court under the leadership of the guards inside, this process is still quite slow, because there is no detection equipment department in this era, in order to prevent someone from hiding a big killing weapon in their crotch and entering the palace, the inspection of the guards is quite time-consuming.
Finally, more than half an hour passed, and all twenty people finally walked into Xianyang Palace.
And at this time, among the people of Xianyang City, who were watching the excitement in the surrounding area, two people who looked plain in dress and appearance glanced at each other, and then squeezed out the crowd and left.
A short time later, in a dimly lit room, the two men who had not had time to replace the head of the Qian, were kneeling on the ground to tell an old man about it.
"So, he has already infiltrated the Xianyang Palace, and he has not been noticed by those guards?"
"Exactly, according to the gentleman's orders, that person is at the back of the line, and I think those guards are also a little tired in the end, so they don't notice anything abnormal."
