He stroked his beard weakly, and his eyes were very calm.

He was aware of it.

With His Majesty's turn, there will be a lot of changes inside and outside the court, he noticed it, and Yao Jia also noticed it, so he took the initiative to offer advice this time, in order to please His Majesty as much as possible and avoid falling into an embarrassing situation in the court in the future.

He is in charge of the Imperial History Mansion and has made many mistakes.

Especially the cleanup of the officials near Yunmeng in front of him, all the nearby superintendents and imperial histories had accidents without exception, and he could not escape the blame as the imperial historian, so he was basically cautious in his words and deeds during this time, and he definitely did not have the intention of taking the initiative to speak again, and just wanted to retreat peacefully.

It's just that he heard Yao Jia's idea, and finally decided to say a few more words.

to show his loyalty to Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at the weak with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice: "What do you say about Aiqing?" ”

Paused and said, "Yao Dianke's suggestion is excellent, but there are still some details to pay attention to. ”

"Yin Tong, Li Mo and others have been in the local area for many years, and they know a lot about the local situation, if the news of the imperial court's attack on the remnants of the Six Kingdoms on the grounds of 'the southeast is the son of heaven', they will definitely be able to understand it quickly."

"As Yao Dianke said."

"Most of the officials such as Yin Tong still have ties with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

"Maybe when the imperial court makes a move, they will immediately send someone to deliver a message to inform the imperial court of its actions, and it is even very likely that all these things will be pushed to be forced into helplessness, and in the end the remnants of the six countries will indeed be very resentful and dissatisfied, but the relationship between the two may not be eased."

"Because the interests are still there."

"And because of the imperial court's action, the number of local nobles has decreased, and the remaining nobles can get more."

"Even."

"It is also possible that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who are close to Yin Tong and others deliberately use the power of the imperial court to mutilate other nobles in order to annex and suppress dissidents, and when the matter is over, the power of the remnants of the Six Nations of Kanto will indeed become a lot smaller, but if it is scattered from dozens of families to a few dominances, this may not be effective for the imperial court."

"It's not very likely, though."

"But we have to guard against it."

"And as long as Yin Tong and others explain properly, it may not be impossible to temporarily remove this matter."

"So the minister thinks there should be a follow-up."

"The follow-up of the minister is to inform Yin Tong and others of this matter, and look at their follow-up measures, if they still secretly spread the message, it means that these people are also secretly selfish, and they are deeply involved in collusion with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and they will not change at all because of this matter, if they learn the news, but choose to stand still and let the court take action, then it can be proved that Yin Tong and others are indeed not of the same mind as the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

"Knowing the news in advance, but not telling the remnants of the Six Nations, no matter how you defend them in the end, it will become a thorn in the heart of the remnants of the Six Nations."

"What's more, this is the goodwill released by the imperial court."

"Let it make up for it."

"With such an obvious intention from the imperial court, they will definitely be able to react, and they will be able to do things more carefully for the imperial court in the future."

"This is the minister's idea, please consider it."

He bowed slowly and sat back down on his seat.

Ying Zheng pondered for a while, and agreed with the suggestion of Dun Weak.

"What do the other Aiqing think?" Ying Zhengdao.

Li Si said: "The minister thinks that the words of the imperial doctor are the words of integrity and should be adopted. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

“.”

The other courtiers agreed.

"Since all of you have no objections, then I will also accept it." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

With Yao Jia and suddenly opening his mouth, the imperial court has a practical response to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms recruited by Yin Tong and other officials.

Soon.

The matter of purging the remnants of the six countries hidden in the mountains, lakes and seas was decided.

Led by Yang Duanhe and Tao She, he led nearly 10,000 troops, all of whom were scattered to the nearby mountains and rivers.

As for whether Yin Tong will report in advance, or collude with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms a long time ago, Ying Zheng and the minister have not questioned it, because the imperial court will interrogate these captured remnants of the Six Kingdoms, once the number of remnants of the Six Kingdoms caught is too small, or there are not many big clans, it will definitely be blamed on Yin Tong and others.

No matter how bold Yin Tong is, he will never joke with his life.

Night.

Yin Tong stayed awake all night.

He had already arranged all the subordinates in his family to go out.

Always keep an eye on every move of the imperial court, but whenever there is any sign of the imperial court sending troops, it will immediately send someone to inform the Xiang clan and other big clans, and at the same time attach a letter to explain the incident, take yourself out as much as possible, and blame the problem on those arrested officials.

That's when it happened.

There was a knock on Yin Tong's door.

Yin Tong, who was already not sleepy, heard this knock on the door, the hairs on his body stood up instantly, and the whole person was nervous, he subconsciously wanted to let his subordinates open the door, but then he seemed to think of something, worried that the nobles of the six countries sent someone over, so he also had an extra heart.

I went to the door by myself.

Yin Tong shouted outside the house, "Who is knocking on the door outside?" ”

"CRRC Mansion ordered Zhao Gao." A cold voice came from outside the door.

Hear the words.

Yin Tong's heart sank.

But I don't know what Zhao Gao came to do.

His eyes turned rapidly, and in just a few breaths, he thought about all the possible things that could happen to him, but he still didn't expect that why Zhao Gao would come to him? Could it be that His Majesty is dissatisfied with the roster given by himself and others? Want to catch yourself?

That's it.

Yin Tong's mind was completely uneasy.

With trepidation, he opened the door.

"Yin Tong. I've seen the CRRC government order, I don't know the CRRC government order, and I came to find the next official in the middle of the night, so what's the matter? Yin Tong said tremblingly.

Zhao Gao looked Yin Tong up and down, and he could see Yin Tong's nervousness.

He sneered and said lightly: "The county guard doesn't need to be nervous, His Majesty is very satisfied with the bamboo slips you presented, thinking that you are a first-time offender, and you are not deeply involved with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and you will continue to be a local official in the future, so after consulting with a group of ministers, it was decided not to make the list public." ”

"Huh?" Yin Tong was stunned.

Zhao Gao's words were completely unexpected by Yin Tong.

Even unexpected.

It's just that he is also a little puzzled, the imperial court does not do anything to the remnants of the six countries, so why does Your Majesty work so hard?

But Yin Tong was still grateful, he bowed deeply to the palace where the first emperor lived, and said gratefully: "The minister is grateful for Your Majesty's understanding, and the minister is ashamed of Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Gao looked at it coldly from the side.

When Yin Tong said about it, he continued: "It is true that the imperial court will not act according to that list, but it does not mean that it will not do anything to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have always been a great trouble for the imperial court, and continuing to let them wander around the Kanto region will only make the situation in the Kanto region worse, so it must be eradicated." ”

"That" Yin Tong's eyes were full of surprise, and then he thought of something, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he asked tentatively: "Could it be that the imperial court has more detailed information on the whereabouts of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?" ”

Zhao Gao said coldly: "You don't need to ask." ”

"The lower official lost his words." Yin Tong hurriedly said.

Zhao Gao snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied with Yin Tong's attitude, but still said in a deep voice: "This official came here this time, he is here to pass on the word, this time the matter is considered a meritorious service, Your Majesty will not be held accountable too much, and you have a good attitude, and Your Majesty does not want to embarrass you, so I discussed it with the courtiers, and decided to clear the land of Wuyue this time, on the grounds that 'there is a son of heaven in the southeast', this is an excuse sent by these remnants of the Six Kingdoms themselves, how can the imperial court not use it?" ”

"This is the intention, the county guard should be able to understand."

Yin Tong's face froze.

He glanced at Zhao Gao suspiciously, pondered in his heart for a while, seemed to react, and said with a little surprise on his face: "Xiaguan understands." ”

"Please return to Your Majesty for me."

"The minister is dedicated to Qin, and he will never make peace with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, nor will he have any protection."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Hear the words.

Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good to know, it's not early, the county guard will rest early, and I will pass on the news to other officials." ”

Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Yin Tong's heart moved, and he asked, "I don't know who else knows the inside story besides the lower officials?" ”

Zhao Gao looked at Yin Tong with deep eyes, as if he was entangled, and said slowly: "Since you are other officials in your county, you people are quite good at observing words and feelings, and when you saw that Your Majesty intended to rectify the rule of the Kanto officials, you immediately changed the rudder, and you also knew that you would pass on the blame to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms." ”

"You're really scheming."

Hear the words.

Yin Tong didn't dare to answer, and said with a smile: "The chief official laughed, the lower official really didn't know about this before, and this is indeed the lower official's negligence." ”

Zhao Gao snorted coldly, didn't continue to say more, and left directly with a wave of his sleeves.

Yin Tong watched Zhao Gao walk away.

When Zhao Gao was not in sight, Yin Tong's eyes became gloomy.

He repeatedly grasped Zhao Gao's words, but he couldn't make up his mind in his heart.

Yin Tong said in a low voice: "The imperial court is really here to rectify the rule of officials this time? And from the mouth of this eunuch, the court has already let us go, at least we won't blame us too much, even if there is punishment, it won't hurt our lives, this is good news, and I can put my heart down. ”

"But listening to this meaning, the court seems to appreciate our 'abandonment of darkness and light', and is even willing to protect us."

Yin Tong touched his chin, a little surprised.

He went back to the house.

Close the door tightly.

During this period of time, he gradually came back to his senses.

Yin Tong said in a condensed voice: "The imperial court may have deliberately revealed these news to us, testing our reaction, if we pass the letter according to the original plan, I am afraid that we will not be able to escape the eyes of the imperial court at all, but if we do not pass the letter, it means that the nobles of the six countries will suffer a lot of hardship, if we find out in the future, the nobles of the six countries will probably hate us, and then we and the nobles of the Kanto region will become more and more incompatible." ”

"The court is so calculating."

"This is not at all that we want to ease relations with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms."

"I want to use this excuse to tear the relationship between us more and more, so that I can only honor the court."

Yin Tong quickly sorted out the situation.

He sneered.

I don't think so.

But for the imperial court's approach, he readily accepted it.

Compared with completely falling to the imperial court, the imperial court took the initiative to cover them up, which was more in line with their wishes, so that they also had an excuse to prevaricate the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and avoid Ji Heng for these nobles in the future.

But

Thinking of what Zhao Gao said when he left, Yin Tong's expression was also a little solemn.

Because Zhao Gaoming said plainly, this time the imperial court is here to rectify the rule of officials, which means that the imperial court is here for them, but they are worried that something will happen to them, so they will lead the disaster to the nobles of the six countries in advance, if this news is known to the nobles of the six countries, they will definitely not let them go.

But Yin Tong also knew.

Neither he nor the other officials who learned the news would reveal this matter to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

How can they put themselves in danger?

Forthwith.

Yin Tong's eyes froze.

Since the imperial court is willing to cover it up for them, do they still need to tell the nobles of the six countries?

Yin Tong thought in his mind.

If you go to spread the message, not only will it be easy to be targeted by the imperial court, but it will only lead to burning, after all, sending someone to notify the cancellation is not the same as sending someone to inform the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, the former only needs to send someone to notify the person who has been arranged earlier, while the latter has to spread the word himself.

And

Looking at the appearance of the imperial court, it will not reveal the specific content of the roster, which also means that the outside world does not know the specific content of the list, and Zhao Gao said that the imperial court came to rectify the rule of officials, and they can also justify them, they knew that the imperial court was menacing, so in the end, they had to break their wrists and confess these people in order to protect themselves, but did not disclose the information of the nobles of the six countries.

The reason why they had an accident was secretly found out by the imperial court.

It's none of them.

What's more, there are so many officials in Huiji County and county, what reason do the nobles of the Six Kingdoms have to be angry with them?

Come to think of this.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yin Tong's mouth.

The nobles of the Six Kingdoms themselves spread rumors and eventually led to trouble, which is self-inflicted.

Instead, they were implicated in it.

That's it.

Yin Tong's mind calmed down completely.

The life or death of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, he is not at ease at all.

Some lost dogs, if they didn't have a lot of momentum in the local area and colluded with many officials, how could he look at their faces? Now that the imperial court has taken action to completely suppress the arrogance of the nobles of the six countries, he can strengthen his control over the local area.

Furthermore.

It's not that they don't want to spread the message, but because they are monitored by the government, they don't dare to spread it to the outside world.

As for whether the nobles of the Six Kingdoms will confess themselves in prison if they are arrested, Yin Tong is not worried at all, from Zhao Gao's words, he has heard that the imperial court will not punish himself for this, but wants to use himself to balance the situation of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in the local tail, so let the nobles of the Six Kingdoms bite themselves like this, as long as they resolutely deny it, they will not have an accident.

This is the true meaning of Zhao Gaolai's words.

He understood it all.

Yin Tong raised his head, looked at the sky, hesitated, beware of any changes, and hurriedly sent someone to inform the other officials, asking them to wait for the meeting to go to the county government.

He has something to talk about, and the sooner the better.

It's easy to change if it's late!

Ran to have a meal
