That night.
Dian Wei dispatched 10,000 soldiers from the army and stationed them outside the imperial city in the name of protecting His Majesty.
Many dignitaries knew the news.
Of course, this also includes Ying Yuan after he had an affair with Daji.
He seemed particularly excited.
I thought to myself, he is worthy of being Emperor Wu of Wei, he is so fast.
So, with the help of Daji, he quickly dressed, and then ordered someone to move a chair in front of the palace gate.
He sat upright on it.
I want to see with my own eyes the scene of Cao Cao attacking the palace.
What a great opportunity this is. If 150,000 people spit once per person, they can flood the imperial city.
Ying Yuan was already extremely hungry and thirsty.
He really wanted to see how Cao Cao threatened him and controlled his ministers.
By that time, the Qin Dynasty was only one step away from destruction.
However, he waited for a whole night, but Cao Cao and his men did not attack.
"Where are the people?"
Ying Yuan would utter these two words from time to time.
This made the eunuchs around him, including Daji, feel confused.
Who?
Who is your Majesty waiting for?
The ten thousand soldiers guarding outside the imperial city?
Ying Yuan secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Cao Cao placed 10,000 people outside the imperial city first in order to test me?
If I don't have the strength to resist, will he send his army to attack me?
As expected of a hero, he acts cautiously!
Maybe in a few days, he will send his army to attack the border.
"Cao Cao, please don't let me down!"
Ying Yuan murmured.
Daji frowned immediately and thought to herself, "Your Majesty, are you waiting for the newly appointed Minister of War?"
......
Many people are destined to be sleepless tonight.
In addition to Dian Wei's matter, there is also Ying Yuan's plan to build a factory guard.
at this time.
At Cai Jing's residence.
All the civil officials above the third rank in the court gathered here to discuss the affairs of the East Factory.
"Since ancient times, except in times of chaos, almost no emperor has established a garrison. Otherwise, the entire nation would be in a state of panic, which would shake the foundation of the country!"
"That's right. Tomorrow we will jointly submit a petition to Your Majesty, requesting that the guards be abolished. Throughout history, only rulers who have seized power unjustly would establish such institutions that disregard the laws of the land!"
"Strangle the East Factory in its cradle! We can't let it shake the foundation of our Great Qin!"
“…”
Almost everyone opposed the establishment of the East Factory.
Cai Jing, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke slowly, "Everyone, you should have heard that Cao Cao sent 10,000 soldiers to guard the city and station them outside the imperial city, right?
Half an incense stick of time ago, I received a message that the general in charge of stationing outside the imperial city was named Dian Wei.
Among the ten thousand soldiers he brought with him, there were no men from our group, and even the generals sent by the four expeditionary forces to defend the city were almost absent.”
"What does the Prime Minister mean?"
Li Linfu keenly sensed the unusualness of the matter and frowned deeply.
The Qin Dynasty respected the right, so the status of the right prime minister Cai Jing was slightly higher than that of Qin Hui.
He slowly stood up and stood in front of the main hall door. He looked at the dark sky, turned his back to the crowd, stood with his hands behind his back, and slowly spoke:
"We have always underestimated His Majesty. Now, we have lost all our opportunities.
Your Majesty, you truly have great means and great courage. In just one day, you were able to consolidate your position. How can you be called a tyrant? You are clearly a capable ruler!"
Cai Jing then turned around and explained to the crowd, "When the national crisis began, Your Majesty turned a deaf ear to us and handed over the task of defending the country to us. Although we have tried our best, we are unable to resist the invasion.
After this, Your Majesty can legitimately appoint Cao Cao as the Minister of War and let him continue to lead troops to fight the enemy. In this way, we will have no reason to object.
After Cao Cao took control of the military power, Your Majesty decided to set up the East Factory to monitor all officials, and there would be no need for trial by the three courts. In other words, Your Majesty could arrest anyone he wanted and punish anyone he wanted in the future.
We are certainly unwilling to participate in the construction of the Imperial Guards. Your Majesty is certain that we will vehemently oppose this matter. Therefore, the commander named Dian Wei has arrived outside the Imperial City. Now we are determined not to enter the Imperial City and see Your Majesty.
The reason why Dian Wei did not enter the palace was simply because Your Majesty was waiting for Cao Cao to transfer all the people we have stationed in the army out of the capital. At that time, Your Majesty would be able to decide our life and death with a single word.
If my prediction goes as it should, tomorrow, during the morning court session, Dian Wei's 10,000 men will enter the palace. At that time, if any minister disagrees with the establishment of the East Factory during the court session, he will be eliminated by His Majesty in the name of national crisis.
Your Majesty has been hiding his incompetence for many years, waiting for this opportunity, a chance to justify and slaughter the court! We... have always been manipulated by Your Majesty."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone was deeply shocked.
Is this still the tyrant king in my memory?
How could he possess such courage and means?
It's incredible!
At this time, someone brought news that there was movement in the city guard camp.
Many soldiers began to leave the city one after another.
After hearing the news, Qin Hui suddenly realized what was going on. He then smiled bitterly and murmured:
"I see... Your Majesty, you truly have a brilliant plan. You've been hiding your incompetence for years, and in just one day, you've completely deprived us of our power. If such a person is a tyrant, then there will be no wise rulers in the world."
