After Zhao Xin ordered the establishment of the Western Factory, Yu Huatian never forgot it for a moment. He has found many candidates and has begun to cultivate his confidants.
News inside and outside the palace was firmly controlled by the Queen Mother's party and Wang Jin and others.
Fortunately, Yu Huatian had some subordinates under him, so he was able to get the news early.
Of course, Yu Huatian had just started to cultivate his confidants, most of whom were from the lower classes.
The speed at which they now knew the news was definitely much later than that of the Queen Mother and Wang Jin.
When Zhao Xin heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately remembered the plot in the original book.
How could I forget this!
It’s no wonder that Zhao Xin didn’t remember it. The original plot revolves around the protagonist, and the protagonist has not yet appeared at this time.
This rebellion was just a background in the original work and was mentioned briefly by the author.
But now he has been reincarnated as the tyrant emperor in the book, and he just happened to catch up!
The King of Chu was the first to raise an army under the banner of "clearing the emperor's side and eliminating treacherous officials". After the King of Chu, the six uncles and brothers of the incompetent emperor also joined in.
The Rebellion of the Seven Kings is no small matter.
At that time, the government was controlled by Cui Cen, a relative of the emperor, and his faction, who had absolute power.
As for the members of the royal family, they still have to look at Prime Minister Cui's mood.
Not to mention the royal family, even a tyrant emperor who is the emperor of the country is nothing more than a puppet of his relatives by marriage.
Under such circumstances, the voices of dissatisfaction in the court became increasingly louder.
The princes of the royal family saw a ray of hope, a ray of hope to ascend to that throne!
The King of Chu was the first to raise an army, and then the other six kings followed suit.
Natural disasters had plagued the country for years, the people's harvests were poor, corruption was rampant among officials, and on top of that, the war caused by the Seven Kings' rebellion...
The people were living in dire straits, which laid an irreversible foreshadowing for the later "anti-Qin" movement.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!
Zhao Xin could only watch all of this happen, and he had no control over it now.
But he knew that the rebellion of the seven kings would eventually be quelled.
Most of the Zhao clan princes were killed after this incident, and the strength of the remaining ones was weakened to a certain extent.
As a result, when the people later rose up in rebellion and the heroes led armies to rebel against Qin, not a single vassal king contributed.
Zhao Xin is now powerless to intervene in this rebellion.
but……
Is it possible to gain some benefits from this turmoil?
Why not find Liu Muzhi and ask for his opinion!
Zhao Xin gave the order, and Liu Muzhi arrived at the hall a moment later.
He clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, I am Liu Muzhi, honored to see you!"
Zhao Xin stood up and walked over to him, took his arm, and pulled him to a chair nearby. He said with a smile, "Mu Zhi, you won't need to be so polite when you see me from now on!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Muzhi nodded.
"Mu Zhi, this is Yu Huatian."
"Hello, Brother Yu." Liu Muzhi bowed as he was told, looking gentle and elegant.
"Mr. Liu, I've long heard of your name!"
Yu Huatian clasped his fists in return. Although he was as cold and expressionless as ever, there was a hint of respect in his tone.
Zhao Xin watched the two of them chatting and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.
Although they both understood each other and were loyal to themselves, Zhao Xin naturally still hoped that they could live in harmony.
In this way, we will be able to work more harmoniously and efficiently in the future.
Oh, and there is also a Li Cunxiao.
Zhao Xin thought of Li Cunxiao, turned his head to look at Yu Huatian, and asked, "Where is Li Cunxiao? Call him over too!"
Liu Muzhi had just been summoned, so it was a good opportunity for the three of them to get to know each other.
Yu Huatian went out and asked someone to find Li Cunxiao, and when he came back he had an extra document in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this is a report from below: the King of Jin, the King of Qi, the King of Wu, the King of Guangyi, and the King of Zhongxiang have all risen in rebellion!"
Zhao Xin took the document from him and glanced it over.
There is no more turbulence in my mood.
Once the King of Chu rebelled, it was only a matter of time before several other powerful princes took up the banner of rebellion.
According to the report, there are only five kings who have started the rebellion. Together with the King of Chu, there are only six princes in total.
There is still no movement in the last one...
Zhao Xin passed the document to Liu Muzhi.
After reading this, Liu Muzhi said, "Your Majesty, among all the kings, there is one who can make Cui Cen unable to sleep or eat!"
Zhao Xinxiu tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest, "Who is Mu Zhi referring to?"
"King Qi." Liu Muzhi said slowly, "King Qi is the nephew of Grand Marshal Nan Cang!"
The Grand Commandant is in charge of all military forces in the world.
Since ancient times, civil and military officials have been incompatible, and Nan Cang has always been excluded by Cui Cen's faction in the court.
But Nan Cang firmly holds the military power and has absolute power in the army.
Now the six kings are under the banner of "serving the king" to purge the emperor's side and get rid of the treacherous officials. Isn't the treacherous official Cui Cen?
Liu Muzhi said confidently: "The rebels are targeting Cui's faction. Cui Cen will definitely bow to Nan Cang this time!"
After listening to Liu Muzhi's words, Zhao Xin agreed with them deeply.
In the current situation in Qin, the Queen Mother and Cui Cen have the final say in the court and can be regarded as the leaders of the civil officials group.
Nan Cang holds a large number of troops and firmly controls the group of military generals.
Therefore, the relationship between the two is destined to be incompatible.
Among these three forces, Wang Jin, who controls the East Factory, is actually the weakest.
At present, the generals headed by Nan Cang have no say in the court.
The rebellion of the kings gave Nan Cang a perfect opportunity to strike back at the court!
Zhao Xin sighed, "They're fighting each other, but unfortunately I'm not the one who benefits."
In the original story, the Rebellion of the Seven Kings was finally suppressed, and Nancang did make Cui Cen and his party pay a heavy price.
But this has nothing to do with the emperor...
Liu Muzhi consoled him, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry so much. Although we don't have the means to enter the game now, we are not completely without a chance."
Zhao Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Mu Zhi, what good plan do you have? Tell me now!"
"The Nan family's ancestors helped the founding father to conquer the Qin Kingdom, and the Nan family has been loyal ministers for generations.
