Chapter 21 The Emperor's Mindset



The East Factory arrested people and the emperor was assassinated.

These two things happened almost simultaneously.

Many ministers in the court subconsciously thought so.

Your Majesty wants to use the assassination to further reorganize the court.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain.

At the residence of Qin Hui, the left prime minister.

Many officials have come here now.

Everyone is in danger.

They thought that perhaps they could seek protection from the prime minister.

But the Right Prime Minister seems to have been too close to the Emperor recently.

"Prime Minister Qin, at least four officials from our Ministry of Justice have been arrested by the East Factory. Now they are nowhere to be found, alive or dead. What should we do?"

"The East Depot has gone too far this time. Most of those arrested are officials appointed by the imperial court. If the East Depot can arrest people at will, what is the use of the Dali Temple?"

"Yes, Prime Minister, how about we jointly submit a memorial to His Majesty, saying that the East Factory is a bit too arrogant and domineering..."

“…”

The ministers were talking at the same time, all of them wanted Ying Yuan to lay off the Dongjishi Factory.

But is this possible?

Qin Hui looked around at everyone, shook his head, and sighed, "Why are you focusing so much on the East Factory arresting people?

The fact that you are still standing here safely means that the East Factory does not want to touch you.

In fact, they can't touch you in the short term. Otherwise, it will definitely shake the foundation of the country, especially during this national crisis."

What he said made sense, but everyone still felt worried.

"Prince Qin, the East Factory is our most pressing concern right now. If we don't pay attention to this matter, what will happen?"

"Master Qin, those we have captured are all our trusted confidants. They know a lot about us. What if, by some chance, they are tortured by the East Factory..."

“…”

Hear their confusion.

Qin Hui suddenly looked a little disappointed with his friend.

In the final analysis, they are still no match for the six ministers and others.

For example, people like Heshen were very calm when facing the East Factory arresting people.

"You all know about His Majesty's assassination, right? This is what you should be focusing on.

If it is as I expected, someone has already entered the palace to ask His Majesty whether His Majesty is in good health.

At the very least, I should write a memorial to ask if His Majesty has suffered any injuries, but what about you? You are still concerned about the affairs of the East Factory.

Qin Hui spoke earnestly.

Everyone was enlightened instantly as if by a flash of lightning.

However, some people were still worried. "If Cao Cao can really repel the enemy and save the country from disaster after the victory report from the front, will His Majesty attack us?"

Hearing this, Qin Hui said bluntly: "Don't worry, even Your Majesty can't do everything too thoroughly.

This world still needs someone to govern it. Right now, we can only work together to help Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cai, and ourselves, to overcome this national crisis."

"Who do you think has the guts to assassinate the emperor?" someone asked.

Qin Hui continued, "I have two guesses.

First, this assassination farce was planned by His Majesty. After all, no matter how foolish His Majesty was before, he would never go to brothels and other places. Why did he go there this time?

Second, someone did indeed hire an assassin to kill His Majesty, but who had the ability and courage to do so? Those high-ranking officials?

Or were they the princes who were ready to take action when the national crisis began?

But no matter which situation it was, His Majesty's methods were truly admirable. His Majesty brought those assassins into the palace to make one thing clear to everyone.

From now on, whoever Your Majesty says is the mastermind behind this will be the mastermind behind this.”

As soon as the words fell.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Could this be your Majesty's method?

It's amazing.

It's equivalent to blocking everyone's escape route.

Your Majesty, who can come up with such a method, already has the demeanor of an emperor of all ages.

To a certain extent, this kind of political means is also a kind of imperial mentality!

"In addition to what I just said, I am actually worried about one more thing.

Your Majesty was afraid that we would be dissatisfied with the East Factory's arbitrary arrests, so the assassination incident happened.

If someone specifically targeted the East Factory at this time, then His Majesty would naturally tell him about the assassination.

At that time, if I randomly fabricate a few people who are behind the scenes, not to mention you, even the real me will probably lose my life!"

Qin Hui sighed.

Even he felt powerless against the methods used by Ying Yuan.

Everyone's expression changed.

Your Majesty...you are wise.

With just one move, he blocked everyone's retreat route invisibly.

In this way, Your Majesty will have something to hold against all the civil and military officials in the court.

This kind of imperial mentality is absolutely incomparable to that of ordinary emperors!

...

at this time.

Ying Yuan just returned to the palace.

He couldn't wait to summon Nie Yinniang and Jing Ke to the Xuan Zheng Hall.

When he learned their names, even he was a little surprised.

First of all, there is no need to mention Jing Ke.

The story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Shi Huang is well-known.

According to unofficial historical records, Nie Yinniang was a highly skilled female assassin in the Tang Dynasty.

Later, she became a legendary heroine who was famous for a time.

Her life was no less exciting than Hong Fu Nu's.

I didn't expect that they would team up to assassinate me.
