Chapter 445 In Xianyang City, in addition to Xianyang Palace, there is also an area that ordinary people dare not approach, there are heavy guards here, and the strictness is not inferior to Xianyang Palace.

The red brick and green tile pavilions and attics here are scattered and orderly, revealing a sense of luxury. There are people coming and going, but there is not much noise, only the children laugh coldly when they play, and the adults are extremely quiet and abide by the rules here.

This is the settlement of the Great Qin clan. The Great Qin clan did not live in a scattered manner, mainly because since outsiders entered the Great Qin temple, the clan seemed weak, so they decided to gather together to show the unity of the clan to outsiders.

The ancestral hall of the clan is the most core place in the clan, and even if it is a member of the clan, it cannot be easily approached without the consent of the clan elders.

The majestic hall, if you don't count the foundation, is enough to be comparable to the Xianyang Hall in the Xianyang Palace.

This is the ancestral hall of the clan, a place where the first emperor has to pay homage when he comes. In the ancestral hall of the clan, there is not a single King of Qin, but the ministers of the clan who are next to the King of Qin in the past dynasties.

Row by row, column by column, all of them show the clan's merits to Great Qin. It's a pity that in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer tablets in the middle, and more and more tablets on both sides.

This shows that the clan has fewer and fewer important ministers in the court, and the power of the clan is becoming more and more marginalized in Daqin.

"Squeak~" The door of the ancestral hall was slowly pushed open by two subordinates, and then several old men, or supported by others, or on crutches, or full of energy, followed Ying Xi, who was walking in the front, into the ancestral hall.

After everyone took their positions in the ancestral hall, the door of the ancestral hall was closed again, and the entire ancestral hall suddenly fell into darkness except for the place where the candle flame could reach.

At this time, a group of clan elders picked up the incense in their hands, lined up to light the incense in their hands, and then gave incense to the ancestors one by one.

After the matter of paying homage to the ancestors, these people sat in front of the clan tablet, and it was already important to discuss.

"Sect Chief, let me say a few words first." An old man with gray hair and beard said. Ying Xi sat on the needle at this time, and in the face of this uncle's words, Ying Xi arched his hand and said: "Several elders, I only knew about this matter at this time, I Ying Xi was the first to disagree, but are you still willing to stop?" ”

"The head of the sect laughed, this is difficult to recover, and the sword with the bow cannot be turned back." An old man who was about the same age as Ying Xi said with a smile.

"Ying Yuan is right, Sect Head, it is a foregone conclusion at this time, and it can't be changed, so why should you object." The oldest Yingtu spoke very slowly, but as soon as he spoke, Ying Xi opened his mouth, and then sighed.

Yingtian, who was the first to speak, said: "Now everyone has seen the situation of my clan, the industry has shrunk by nearly half, and His Majesty has cut the worship of the clan by thirty percent, and now everyone in the clan is not happy. ”

"That's right, if I want to buy a dress now, I have to see if I have enough money in my pocket to cover my expenses this month. When have we ever had this kind of life? ”

"That's right, in the past, when our clan went out, everyone in the world had to be respectful to us, but now, seeing us is like not seeing us. Our clan is now an ordinary family! Yingtian said: "The situation that the clan is facing now must be changed. Yin Yuan said: "All this, in the final analysis, it is Your Majesty who has disappointed our clan. No matter what our clan says, it also has the same root as His Majesty, and now His Majesty's suppression of our clan is indeed chilling to our clan! Ying Xi hurriedly said: "If you have any opinions about Your Majesty, you can tell me, I will report to Your Majesty, but your current plan, is this to destroy the entire clan?!" ”

"Are you going to report to Your Majesty? Do you really think you are important in the eyes of His Majesty? It is said that you are asked to supervise hundreds of officials, but what do you have to do every day, you are being raised and secretly descended. Ying Yuan scoffed.

"I can do as much as I can, so as not to endanger the country of Daqin." Ying Xi's tone was already much weaker at this time.

"There's no need to argue about this kind of thing, now we have only one goal, and that is the throne," Inita said. ”

"At the same time, we also have the blood of the previous kings in our bodies, we are also the Ying family, he can do the position of Yingzheng, you can also do it. And this throne was originally won by you, you just got your own things back. This sentence struck Ying Xi's heart hard, and there was a crack in Ying Xi's heart that Ying Xi had been sticking to.

"Ahem, ahem!" Yingtu coughed a few times and said, "The current situation no longer allows us to turn back." Whether it is the remnants of the Six Kingdoms or the remnants of the Zhou royal family, as long as it is beneficial to us, they can all be used. ”

"The world is scattered, and my Daqin can still fight back, but the clan is scattered, and everyone here can only be untouchables. The Ying bloodline, to be untouchables, the ancestors and ancestors will not be willing to admit that we are their descendants. ”

"Ancestor, don't be angry, let's not talk about this, Ying Xi also knows that the problem is serious, let's talk about the plan." Ying Yuan patted Yingtu's back and said.

Yingtian said: "Now that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have suffered a serious injury, they can only retreat in the land of Jiujiang and Donghui counties, but they still contain most of Yingzheng's energy, so now is the best time." ”

"After we oust Yingzheng from the throne, it will be difficult for the remnants of the Six Kingdoms to become a threat anymore, after all, there is no written proof of the cooperation between us, and when the time comes, we will send troops to destroy the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and Daqin will still be Daqin." Ying Yuan sat back in his position and said: "Zhou Butong is already in Xianyang City under our arrangement, and tomorrow is the time for the palace guards to be on duty, so I can take this opportunity to arrange our people and Zhou Butong in the palace." ”

"When will you do it?" Yingtu asked. Yingtian immediately replied: "Tomorrow night, all our preparations have been completed, so as not to have too many daily dreams, we will do it tomorrow night." Ying Xi asked, "Aren't you afraid that Qin Xi will come back with his troops?" Now Qin Xi has nearly 400,000 troops in his hands, plus 500,000 troops from the Southern Expedition and 300,000 troops from Wang Ben, can you stop them? ”

"Brother clan, let me remind you, it's not you, it's us." Ying Yuan said: "As long as Yingzheng is overthrown, you sit in the position of the emperor, and go down with an edict, even if Qin Xi's kid does not obey the edict, other Great Qin generals will obey the edict." ”

"That's right, there are regulations in the Great Qin Military Law, the Great Qin soldiers can only obey the orders of the Emperor of Qin, as long as you become the emperor, this more than one million troops will be your win, and when the time comes, you will order to kill Qin Xi, no matter how good their relationship is, they can only obediently send Qin Xi's head up." Yingtian smiled.

As soon as the elderly Yingtu got up, Ying Yuan hurriedly stood up to help. Yingtu stood up and took a few breaths, and said: "Ying Xi, you don't have anything to do anyway, just stay in this ancestral hall with the ancestors for two or three days, and when you come out, you can directly enter Xianyang Palace and sit on the throne." With Yingtu's departure, the other clan elders also went out.

After the ancestral hall was full and opened, the sunlight stopped outside the ancestral hall. As the door of the ancestral hall closed, Ying Xi's face gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Outside the ancestral hall, Yingtu said to Ying Yuan: "When you go to see that person again, you must make sure that nothing goes wrong." If it also explains the change, then stop immediately, and wait for a few more decades, but be sure to be foolproof. ”

"Yes, Ancestor, I'll go now." After Ying Yuan married Yingtu to the maid, he bowed to Yingtu, and then turned around and left.

Ying Yuan disguised himself and left the clan's territory as a person who delivered firewood to the clan.

After Ying Yuan watched the firewood and walked into an inn, the innkeeper hurriedly unloaded the firewood for Ying Yuan himself, and then handed over the prepared clothes to Ying Yuan.

After Ying Yuan disguised himself again, he left the inn and walked into a small alley, knocking rhythmically on the door of a courtyard.

Soon, the door opened, and Ying Yuan looked around and walked in.

"Ying Yuan, I've seen Senior Zhou." As soon as Ying Yuan entered the house, he saluted the old man sitting in the room. This person is Zhou Butong of the Zhou royal family, wearing white hair and simple green clothes, he looks like a Taoist priest, but his chin is very clean, and he doesn't even have a single hair.

Zhou Butong closed his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" Ying Yuan bowed his hand and said: "Tomorrow is the time for the guards of Xianyang Palace to take shifts, and the juniors plan to let the seniors and the juniors tomorrow disguise themselves as guards and sneak into the Xianyang Palace." Zhou Butong opened his eyes and said, "Are you going to do it?" ”

"Do it tomorrow night." Ying Yuan said. Zhou Butong looked at Ying Yuan and said, "I have a question, why do you want to do this?" What good will Yingzheng's death do to you? What are the benefits of working with the old man? Ying Yuan arched his hand and said: "If Yingzheng does not die, my clan can only be constantly suppressed, and even today's status is difficult to preserve." ”

"Interesting, interesting. This Yingzheng is interesting, reusing others, but not his own people. No wonder the Qin State can dominate the world, if my Zhou royal family can do the same back then, it will not be destroyed by a vassal state. Zhou Butong's tone was very flat, but he still recognized Yingzheng's approach between his words.

Ying Yuan's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Senior, do you do it tomorrow night, is there a problem on the senior's side?" ”

"No, tomorrow night, tomorrow night, but the old man won't make the first move, and when Yingzheng makes a move, the old man will make a move, do you understand?"

"The younger generation understands that as long as the seniors can make a move, Yingzheng will die!" Ying Yuan said viciously.

"Is there anything else? Otherwise, you can go and come back to the old man tomorrow. As he spoke, Zhou Butong closed his eyes.

"The junior is retiring." ······
