Chapter 1099 Wei Liaozi's Self-Destruction [Please Subscribe*Please Pass]

"What does the Emperor mean?" Ying Zheng closed the roster and then looked up at Xiong Qi again.

"The Emperor gave the list to me, obviously to save the reputation of our Qin State and leave it to Your Majesty to decide." This was not Xiong Qi's first day in the court.

If Yan Yan wanted to kill, there was no need to give him the list.

Since we give it to him, we are saving Qin's face and letting Qin solve it itself.

Of course, if Qin’s attitude fails to satisfy Bingzhou, Bingzhou will personally take action.

"Kill!" Ying Zheng threw the list heavily in front of Xiong Qi.

The eunuch in the palace hurried forward to pick it up, closed it, and handed it to Xiong Qi. However, it was a scattered list after all, and the eunuch saw some of the names on it, and his hands trembled.

He hated himself for having to be on duty tonight. Was this list something he could read?
"Here!" Xiong Qi took the list brought by the eunuch, bowed, and backed out of the Qinian Palace.

After leaving the palace, Xiong Qi did not return to his own residence, but went directly to the Lishan army stationed outside the city.

"By order of His Majesty, everyone, enter the city immediately!" Xiong Qi handed the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops brought by the eunuch behind to the general on duty for verification.

"Yes!" After checking the tiger talisman, the general on duty decisively summoned all the troops.

Xiong Qi followed the general on night duty into the central military tent, waiting for all the officers to arrive.

As the orders were issued one after another, all the generals were terrified. They thought they were just going into the city to defend the king or arrest some important officials, but they didn't expect that their mission would involve the Prime Minister's Mansion, the State Marshal's Mansion, the Censorate, and finally the mansions of all the ministers in the Nine Ministries.

"Arrest the people according to the list. If there is resistance, they will be executed immediately!" Xiong Qi said coldly.

No one expected that after they had killed all the rebels in the six countries, there were still people who dared to plot secretly.

Many people have sneaked into the Nine Ministers' Offices, even the Imperial Guards' Office, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Censorate!

The Lishan Guards acted quickly and took over the entire Xianyang city defense with military orders. Even the Xianyang magistrate was confined to his home and was not allowed to go out.

The whole of Xianyang fell into panic, but only the aristocratic areas with bright lights were in panic; the civilian alleys were not disturbed at all.

"By order of His Majesty, no one in the Imperial Guards' Office is allowed to go out!"

"By order of His Majesty, no one in the Censorate is allowed to go out!"

"By order of His Majesty, no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion is allowed to go out!"

……

The Lishan Guards quickly surrounded the offices and residences of the Qin nobles.

"It's over, the dog is eaten after the rabbit is dead, and it's coming for me!" In the Guowei Mansion, Wei Liaozi heard the noise outside the yard and his heart sank.

Didn't he just add some personal opinions in his military book, saying that Ying Zheng used people to advance and not to retreat? He himself was forced to stay in the Qin State, so what's wrong with complaining a few words?
Ying Zheng is not such a stingy person!

"Don't let me know who is slandering me behind my back, cricket!" Wei Liaozi stood up and walked out of the dormitory.

"General, please come in. I plead guilty!" Wei Liaozi looked at the captain of the Lishan Guard who was walking towards him with a serious face. He did not resist and stretched out his hands in cooperation.

“???” The captain of Mount Li’s guards was stunned, because Wei Liaozi was not included in the mission he received.

But the way Wei Liaozi confessed his guilt voluntarily made him look like a big fish!
"Sorry for the offense!" The Lishan captain signaled the soldiers around him to go forward and take Wei Liaozi away.

However, no shackles or restraints were used. After all, Wei Liaozi was their top boss, and he was not on the arrest list.

After walking out of the Guowei Mansion, Wei Liaozi looked back at the cage that had imprisoned him for so many years. Perhaps it was a relief, wasn't it?

He was originally a strategist and also pursued the strategy of uniting the six states. However, he was placed under house arrest by the Qin State and had to give advice on how to conquer the six states. In the face of life and death, he chose to bow his head and live in disgrace.

Later, when Qin conquered the six kingdoms, he felt that he had risen again.

That's right, he felt that he had stood up. What kind of achievement was it to help the Qin Dynasty destroy the six kingdoms? With Zhao Zheng, none of these outstanding people, such as Wang Jian, Wang Wan, and Li Si, were just eating for nothing. In addition, the Qin Dynasty had six generations of integrity, so he doubted whether his achievements would be recorded in history books.

Who doesn’t want to leave a significant mark in history books?
Therefore, Wei Liaozi accepted many disciples, some of whom were active military officers in the Qin State, and there were also many disciples whose identities and origins were mysterious.

Wei Liaozi welcomed everyone who came to him, and even many officers and soldiers in Bingzhou were his disciples.

In addition, he also left a number of military books in various parts of China, waiting for the right people.

As for the purpose of doing this, it is very simple, which is to overthrow the unified Qin Dynasty.

He was very clear about the problems of Qin.

Therefore, what he wanted was to add fuel to the decline of the once prosperous Qin Dynasty. No matter who won or lost at that time, it would be an internal fight among his disciples.

Therefore, he is a very complex person.

The unification of the Qin Dynasty was the result of his hard work. He did not want to destroy the stability of the Qin Dynasty, but his ambition and what he had learned throughout his life were to unite the states.

The existence of contradictions made him neither take the initiative nor refuse.

But he didn't expect that even so, the Qin State still targeted him.

"I am a censor from the Imperial Censorate. How dare you do this?"

The censors of the Censorate were angrily rebuking the Lishan Guards who came to arrest them.

As censors of the Censorate, they were noble and upright. They were the only ones who impeached others. When would anyone dare to arrest them?

However, when they were escorted out of the Censorate by the army and saw Wei Liaozi being brought out by the Lishan Guards, everyone shut up.

If they even dared to arrest Wei Liaozi, who could they be considered?

They can impeach anyone, regardless of rank, but in reality their titles are not high.

"There is no national captain on the list!" Zhang Han and Hei Bai Xuan Jian, who were ordered to take over, felt their scalps tingling when they saw that even Wei Liaozi of the Lishan Guards had been captured.

It would be fine if an ordinary person was arrested, but the problem is the national lieutenant.

Even a general like Wang Jian had to be controlled by Wei Liaozi to a certain extent, which shows how great Wei Liaozi's power was.

"We don't want that either!" The Lishan Guard Captain answered helplessly and explained why they wanted to capture Wei Liaozi.

"Wait!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Zhang Han looked at each other.

Things are getting serious.

If Wei Liaozi was involved, they would not dare to torture him without Ying Zheng's approval.

They don't have that much authority.

I thought that touching Feng Quji was the biggest limit this time, but I didn't expect that people above the Nine Ministers were also involved.

In Qinian Palace, Ying Zheng did not sleep all night, waiting for the reports from Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Zhang Han.

But after waiting for the reports from Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Zhang Han, Ying Zheng's face became even uglier.

"I've been pretty good to them, how dare he do that!" Ying Zheng was really angry.

He did not consider himself a benevolent monarch, but he did not kill many of his meritorious officials or those who were disloyal.

I thought these people would be grateful, but it turns out they are all people who fear power but not virtue.
