"Besides, if this person was going to kill someone, he wouldn't be in such a strong position now. After all, if the benefits and harms of killing someone are there, there will always be some deviation."
"What's the deviation?"
When this question was asked, everyone fell silent.
"I can't possibly kill an ally like Kuo. Even if no one else is willing to give up, I'll kill him as a warning to the rest. I can't just kill him, as that would easily lead to a rebellion."
Seeing that everyone understood the interests involved, Zhao Xin nodded and then looked at them, his words even colder.
"What else?"
"without."
These people bowed and left one by one.
Nowadays, the palace is becoming more and more peaceful.
He Zhizhou had stood in front of the palace gate with a smile on his face. Seeing this, he looked happy as if he had heard something of interest.
"Your Majesty, the situation in your palace is quite good now."
Zhao Xin looked up and saw the man outside strolling through the Imperial Gardens, his eyes expressionless and seemingly composed. He Zhizhou noticed Zhao Xin's look and actually smiled.
"why are you laughing?"
"Your Majesty, you have finally noticed the unrest at this border. I thought you would remain oblivious for many days."
?
Why is this person talking so irrelevant?
"I have reminded Your Majesty before, but I don't know if Your Majesty listened. This is still far from the heart, so are you going to say it again?"
"You are quite clever and have said everything I wanted to say. I do intend to hold my troops here for now. Besides, there is nothing to be afraid of in a border town."
"What if I told you that the Nanman tribe became a rebel?"
The Nanman tribe is a large tribe in the entire border area. There are traces of its people in Jiaozhou and the nearby Lujiang. In the terrain of Nanman, they are considered a semi-nomadic people with no fixed place to live.
"Do you think I will believe it?"
"Your Majesty, you have to believe it."
The southern barbarians were now emboldened, relying on the power of free vassals granted by Zhao Xin. This time, they even joined the foreigners in a counterattack. Fortunately, few joined them, otherwise the western mountains would have fallen long ago.
"Seeing you like this, I guess you're not going to tell me just this one thing. Maybe you have something else to say?"
"Your Majesty is indeed a man of discerning eyes. Now, not only these southern barbarians, but also those who used the princes as obstacles before have begun to rebel and are now secretly causing chaos."
Why are they now causing chaos in the name of the other princes? Zhao Xin doesn't know whether he should delegate the power anymore.
"And more."
"Your Majesty, do you know this Liaodong King Shentu Jing? According to my investigation, there seems to be some unrest in his area. And the protection of officials among officials is his biggest motivation."
He actually wanted to say that the person sent by the emperor before was already on the verge of rebellion, but he didn't know whether he had the intention to do so.
"As for Shentu Jing, I've already sent an elite officer there. Besides this person, how much else have you investigated about me?"
"Do you know that I'm really annoyed by people watching me from behind? If you speak faster, I can make your death less painful."
No one knew how this Hezhizhou had offended the emperor. He had clearly come here to answer his questions and resolve his doubts, but he had become so suspicious.
However, the investigation by his men was indeed correct; this southern barbarian tribe had indeed betrayed Zhao Xin.
Is it possible that this is unacceptable?
"I'm just curious. You've come to my palace all of a sudden just for this matter after all this time. Doesn't that mean you care too much about Daqin? Is there some other reason?"
"Your Majesty, you can't say that. The person who has come here to inform you of the news must be a good citizen.
"Besides, Your Majesty appreciates me so much, how can I disappoint Your Majesty?"
My goodness, this He Zhizhou used all his talents to praise Zhao Xin, and made Zhao Xin feel so proud.
"You're quite smooth-talking, as expected of you. However, I appreciate your kindness this time. Please don't investigate me next time. Otherwise, I don't know how much trouble I'll cause if I get angry."
Good guy comes to help you but you are not willing to do it.
"Okay, okay, okay. His Majesty is the king now. Who can afford to provoke the Majesty of the Great Qin? Well, since it's like this, why don't you just not come next time? You don't have to worry too much about it."
This sounds pleasant, but it also smells like jealousy.
"Tell me, what else is on your mind? I don't think you came here just to inform me of this. If you don't have anything else to say, then I don't believe it. You must have something else to say, right?"
"Your Majesty is indeed worthy of your name. You are so good at guessing people's minds. I do have something to say. May I ask if you have seen Su Xi from the Evil House in the past few days?"
Since the two met that time, there has been no news of her.
It would be fine if we couldn't find him, but now the evil man's house is closed to visitors, and we don't know what kind of trouble has happened.
This was the first time Zhao Xin heard of this.
Indeed, it had been a long time since the people from the Evil House had come to visit him, otherwise that stupid girl would have come to see him nine times out of ten.
Besides, even if the other person didn’t come, it didn’t seem to be any of his business, so why did He Zhizhou take it so seriously?
"Are you really after Su Xi? Do you think this girl is really good and you still have some thoughts about her?"
"Your Majesty, please don't tease me. I came to see her mainly because I have some unfinished business."
There is indeed still some things that have not been done. Besides, Su Xi can't be allowed to run away too happily.
Zhao Xin didn't know what hatred or resentment these two people had. Since they said so, Zhao Xin would not get involved. But to be honest, he really hadn't seen the whereabouts of Su Xi.
I also said it apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I haven't found Su Xi's whereabouts either. But since you've helped me so much, I can send a few people to that evil man's house to ask him something."
So he sent guards on horseback to the evil man's house to take a look, but it turned out that the evil man's house was indeed closed to visitors.
"Your Majesty, this Evil House is indeed closed to visitors. I did knock on the door, and the Evil House Master came to receive me personally. However, his face was inevitably gloomy, as if he was immersed in pain."
"Have you ever investigated what happened in this evil mansion?"
Zhao Xin hadn't been there to investigate for a long time. Besides, the Evil House was such a powerful force that it had some involvement in the previous dynasty, so it was impossible for it to be extinct in this life.
Since Crane State had already investigated him, he must have thoroughly investigated the Evil House. But this time, Crane State remained silent, shaking his head and saying nothing.
