Chapter 449: Qin Hui seeks peace and is condemned by thousands of people



Daji nodded and said, "Don't worry, after this is accomplished, even if you can no longer be the prime minister, I will do my best to protect you."

Qin Hui laughed heartily and said, "I have served as an official for decades, and the greatest fortune of my life is to have met a wise ruler like Your Majesty."

"To act unjustly in order to uphold the righteousness of a wise ruler is what a minister hopes for; as for the safety of a minister, it is of no importance and is not to be taken seriously."

After saying this, he bid farewell to Daji and left Xuan Zheng Hall.

He planned to go to the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the diplomatic mission.

the next day.

Daji asked the three guards to spread a message subtly within the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Hui, the regent and prime minister, took advantage of Your Majesty's absence from the battlefield to seize power, undermine the royal family, and dominate the government.

Seems to be unfaithful.

He is a treacherous minister.

Afterwards.

He also talked about Qin Hui's initiative to seek peace with foreign races.

For a time, it caused resentment among Qin people all over the world:

"This Qin Hui really deserves to die!"

"So many of our soldiers and civilians on the front lines have been killed by the foreigners, and yet he's taking advantage of Your Majesty's absence to seek peace with them. What's he trying to do? Is he rebelling?"

"Ever since Prime Minister Cai's death, Qin Hui has become increasingly arrogant and conceited. He's a traitor!"

"Qin Hui is destined to be infamous for eternity! When your majesty's army returns, we will kill him to vent the people's anger!"

The Qin State could not tell the people that this request for peace was intended to delay time and was a false request for peace.

The so-called performance must be complete.

Daji’s arrangement.

He also wanted to give Temujin an illusion.

That is, there is indeed chaos within the Qin State today.

And Qin Hui became a powerful official.

He had no other choice but to seek help from other races.

Otherwise, Ying Yuan would definitely kill him when he returned.

By then, Temujin would undoubtedly believe Qin Hui's request for peace.

Daji had no choice.

Only Qin Hui could be sacrificed in exchange for the righteousness of the court and the trust of the people.

How could Qin Hui not know how he should be written about in history books from now on?

Because, whether the Qin court's request for peace with foreign races was true or false, it could not be known to the people, let alone recorded in history books.

Otherwise, to put it mildly, Ying Yuan, who was wise and brave and destined to become an emperor of all ages, would have an indelible stain in his life.

To put it more seriously, the State of Qin might lose its trust in the people, and its absolute rule over Ying Yuan and the imperial court might be shaken.

In this era of great strife, any slightest hesitation in the hearts of the people would be an unfriendly thing for the Qin State.
