Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 185 The Anger of the Old Qin Family

In a magnificent room, more than a dozen men sat side by side.

Some of these people are only in their thirties, while others are in their seventies or eighties.However, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are full of military style.

"Tell me..." In the hall, Sima Jun said in a deep voice.

"..."

However, all the people below glanced back and forth, but no one spoke.

"Hmph, why, when you are about to fight, you are afraid of the enemy!" Sima Jun shouted in a low voice.

All the Patriarchs of the old Qin family shook their bodies and lowered their heads.They knew that Sima Jun was really angry at this moment.

In fact, Sima Jun was really angry at this time.

The second time, this is already the second time!It can be said that the miscellaneous family has directly threatened his life for the second time.

Even this time, his sense of crisis was stronger than last time.Because Sima Jun also took the medicine this time, the feeling of powerlessness was as if someone had put it on the sword.

People like Sima Jun who have held power for a long time naturally have the common problem of all nobles, that is, they are afraid of death.Especially a few days ago, after the death of his old enemy Xiong Quan.Sima Jun's feeling became stronger and stronger.

This is also the reason why all the heads of the old Qin family dare not raise their heads.

However, even though the two crises were brought about by Zajia, at this moment, what Sima Jun hated the most was not Zajia, but Ying Zheng who was now in Xianyang Palace.

For the first time, without warning, Yingzheng launched a coup when the new king came to the throne, killing Lu Buwei, who was the prime minister at the time, and even used this to wipe out all the forces in the palace.

And because of this, An Zi, who was in the palace of Lao Qin, was completely cleared up.Even, under Ying Zheng's huge deterrence, the old Qin family had to calm down patiently for a few days.

However, just a few days ago.Sima Jun had just hosted a banquet for the patriarch of the old Qin family, and when he was about to start putting pressure on Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng actually did something like this again.

Yes, with Sima Jun's eyes, he can naturally see the tricks behind the empress seal and the rebellion of the miscellaneous family.

Originally, the Empress Dowager could be held in the heavily guarded Xianyang Palace, why choose it in Zhangtai Palace and give those rebels a chance?
The most important thing is that the rebellion just broke through the palace gate, and Xiong Qi from the Chu family arrived with his own Hakka soldiers. Is this too fast?

Unless, these people had already ambushed in Zhangtai Palace early on.And the only one who has the ability to let so many people into the palace is Ying Zheng, who is the King of Qin.

What's more, the woman who was named queen before was also the younger sister of the two.

Now, these two people have been crowned kings because of this, and their status is comparable to ascending to the sky in one step.And under the guise of his identity as the uncle of the country, even Sima Jun has to carefully weigh their identities.

If it is said that so many coincidences were not arranged by Ying Zheng, even if Sima Jun was killed, he would not believe it.And Ying Zheng did this, and his intentions couldn't be more clear.

Although Meng Ao is now in the hands of the Yaodong faction, Meng Ao holds a large army after all. No matter how much Ying Zheng trusts him, he will not expand the power in Meng Ao's hands.

So, have Xiong Qi and Xiong Huan become tools that Ying Zheng valued to deal with the old Qin family?
"Why, are you so willing to be played by that kid who hasn't reached the crown ceremony like an idiot!" Sima Jun slapped the table and shouted.

The Patriarchs below looked at each other again. In the end, an old man with a gray beard stood up. He was the Patriarch of the Meng Family in Meng Xibai, a family of the Qin State.

The old man cupped his hands to Sima Jun, and said: "Brother Sima, since the king has been deceived by others, we old Qin people should naturally let the king wake up. The state of Qin still depends on us old Qin people!"

"That's right, I also agree with what Elder Meng said!" The Patriarch Ling also stood up and said.

After a while, several Patriarchs stood up and expressed their agreement.

However, although these people's actions were extremely intense, Sima Jun turned a blind eye, just staring at one person, like an old monk in meditation.

"If that's the case, let's move the Yaodong department first, it can be regarded as a warning to the king!" Finally, Bai Lijun, who is the second person in the old Qin department, spoke.

Sima Jun, who had been silent all this time, had a smile on his face.

"Nephew Baili, what exactly do you mean?" the Patriarch of the Meng family asked suspiciously.

And the other patriarchs of the old Qin family also showed doubts, and couldn't figure out how to move the Yaodong family.

"I'm ashamed to say that this plan is still under the guidance of my followers." Bai Lijun said the plan with a smile.

Immediately, the Patriarchs showed a slight look of understanding.However, after understanding it, he was even more confused, and some didn't quite understand Baili Jun's meaning.

"But, isn't this person a little lighter?" Finally, a patriarch asked with some doubts.

"That's right, Brother Baili, this person is just a canal supervisor. Isn't it too difficult to use this person to shake the Yaodong Department?"

All the masters said with some disapproval.

A look of disdain flashed in Baili Jun's eyes, and then he explained with a smile, "Although this man is not a great talent, his skills in building river channels are truly outstanding."

"Everyone." Baili Jun stood up, looked around at the heads of the old Qin family, and continued: "Do you still remember how many people were used to build this canal?"

"No less than hundreds of thousands!" The eyes of some old Qin family patriarchs suddenly lit up.

"Hehe, hundreds of thousands of people built this canal. It is conceivable how much manpower and financial resources I, Daqin, have spent on this." Baili Jun smiled confidently again.

"If so, there is a problem with such a big canal that has spent several years and used tens of thousands of people. Is it enough to make the Yaodong Department suffer a big loss?"

"This..." The remaining old Patriarch Qin also fell silent.

Indeed, this era has not really paid attention to craftsmen, and the only thing worthy of people's attention is the Mohist school.

Previously, the patriarchs of the old Qin family really did not expect to use this to make some articles.

"However, this matter was done by the former king and Lu Ni. I am afraid that people from the Yaodong clan will use this as an excuse to shirk..." At this time, another patriarch of the old Qin clan said worriedly.

"Hehe, you are wrong again. This time, our battlefield is not above the imperial court!" Baili Jun said with a smile, still confident.

"Not above the court?"

"That's right! Don't forget that Ying Zheng won the hearts of the people with his military exploits, so we will use these hearts to deal with him!" Bai Lijun gradually put away the smile on his face, and said gloomily.

"My Daqin people are warlike, and those who fight can be honored and promoted. This channel has blocked many people from going to battle to kill the enemy! Tell me, what will happen to this person at that time?"

"Hahaha!"

Just as Baili Jun finished speaking, Sima Jun burst out laughing.

"I am an old Qin, and I am really lucky to have a good nephew Baili!" Sima Jun praised not without stinginess.

And the other members of the old Qin family also nodded in praise.

……

In Sima Jun's study, only Sima Jun and Bai Lijun were left.

"Wang Jian still hasn't come?" Sima Jun asked with an uneasy face.

"Well, it's still his clan brother Wang Wan..." Baili Jun said with a normal expression.

"Hmph! Wang Jian is really getting older, and he has forgotten his identity as an old Qin!" Sima Jun said angrily.

"Hehe, Wang Wan is quite important in the Wang family, and he is also extremely shrewd in his work, so he won't miss his mark..." Bai Lijun shook his head lightly.

"It's the best! I'm afraid that Wang Jian's temper really fell to the side of the baby in Xianyang Palace that day, and we didn't know it!" Sima Jun said with a little worry in his anger.

"Don't worry, Wang Jian is also a sensible person. Naturally, he knows that his Wang family is also the old Qin family. Even if he fell to Yingzheng, Yingzheng would not completely trust him. Such things as aristocratic families do not mean that they can leave if they leave. !"

"That's true..."

"As long as he remembers his surname is Wang, he will protect the interests of my old Qin family!" Bai Lijun said firmly.

"Well..." Sima Jun nodded, and then said: "By the way, who is the one who came up with the previous plan?"

"It's just a Yaodong customer." Bai Lijun replied casually.

"Oh? Isn't he afraid that he will be implicated too?" Sima Jun asked worriedly.

"Hehe, I promise him to become an official of [-] shi after the turmoil has passed." Baili Jun said with a light smile.

"He believed it?"

"Ah."

"How can this person be so naive to come up with such a scheme?" Sima Jun felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

"Hehe, whatever he does. Now that the trick has been achieved, can he still go back?" Bai Lijun said disdainfully.

"Yes, yes." Sima Jun nodded and said in agreement.
