Quick Transmigration: Legendary Figures of the Ages

Chapter 442 After becoming Lord Changping, Prince Fusu became the most favored of the group (Twenty-seven)
(Twenty-seven)

This is a backward era.

This was also an era when news traveled extremely slowly.

Word of mouth is slow and full of loopholes.

What she wants to take advantage of is that gossip can make a tiger out of nothing.

What the people thousands of miles away hear will be the truth.

As for the truth, it is not that important.

So, she had no choice.

With Sun Ge's deliberate propaganda at an urgent speed of 800 miles, it only took a short time for the whole world to know that Changping Jun, the eldest son of King Kaolie of Chu, who was born and raised in Daqin, had rebelled.

The so-called earth-shaking and mountain-shaking was the result of a conspiracy between Changping Jun and the State of Chu. They sought strong men to cut through the mountains and rocks, so that huge rocks would roll down to stop the Qin army's attack.

Nobles of Chu: Is it true or not? How come they don’t know!

God knows, the King of Chu also suffered heavy losses.

However, the ignorant people of Chu also believed the nonsense that Changping Jun was rebelling against Qin, which made the Chu nobles and generals who knew the inside story speechless and grievances unable to speak out.

Even various schools of thought across countries came out to condemn this action as being too cruel and against the harmony of nature.

In this battle, Chu won, but it also seemed like it didn't win.

Xianyang Palace.

A light snow began to fall, drifting down along the eaves.

King Ying Zheng of Qin sat on the throne, his eyes passing over the ministers who were arguing in the hall like a flying goose stepping on the snow, and looking at the flying snow outside the hall from afar.

Some of them are like the catkins flying in the spring, but with an added sense of coldness and loneliness.

Before the remnant of the army led by Li Xin returned to Xianyang, the news that Changping Jun had rebelled against Qin and returned to Chu had spread like wildfire, and everyone knew about it.

This group of officials who were jumping up and down and clamoring to execute all the members of the Mi clan in Xianyang and sacrifice blood to the flag were just hearsay.

No one cares what the truth is.

It seems that he just wants to find an opportunity to vent his emotions in a high-sounding manner after the humiliating defeat.

Changping Jun will not rebel!

He was sure of that.

It has been long awaited, and there is no such thing in the world.

King Qin Ying Zheng gathered his thoughts, raised his hand slightly, his eyes revealed unquestionable authority, and said in a cold and majestic voice, "Enough!"

"I have ordered the Xianyang garrison to surround the residence of Lord Changping and his relatives. Do not say anything more."

"Only surrounded?" The old Qin noble was filled with righteous indignation and questioned subconsciously.

Qin Wang Ying Zheng glanced at him and said, "I said we should just surround them."

This short sentence was like a mountain pressing down on the heads of all the officials in the court, and no one dared to act rashly anymore.

"Go away."

"We will discuss everything after Li Xin and Meng Tian return to the court."

The ministers hesitated to speak and left in twos and threes in the snow.

King Ying Zheng of Qin stood under the eaves of the corridor, the cold wind sneaked into his black robe, blowing the corners of his robe fluttering.

"Zhao Gao, will the Right Prime Minister rebel against Qin?"

Zhao Gao was wavering between taking advantage of someone's misfortune and playing it safe. After careful consideration, he said, "In my humble opinion, the Right Prime Minister is extremely intelligent and wise. How could he not know that the Qin Dynasty is unstoppable in sweeping across the world?"

The implication is that if you are not stupid, foolish or crazy, you will not rebel against Qin.

King Ying Zheng of Qin glanced at Zhao Gao and said, "I don't think so."

Zhao Gao was startled, not understanding what was going on.

Could it be that his ability to read people's expressions and guess their intentions had failed?

Zhao Gao was about to kneel when he heard King Ying Zheng of Qin continue, "Since Lord Changping knows my ambitions and righteousness, he will never do anything against my will to hinder my great cause of unification."

"Changping Jun will not abandon me."

"There must be some hidden reason behind the rebellion against Qin."

Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty is wise."

He said that Changping Jun was of extraordinary significance to the king.

They are the monarch and his subjects.

It's a relative.

It is a confidant.

Fortunately, I made the right choice.

"I surrounded the house of Lord Changping's clan, but I don't know if he will blame me."

Zhao Gao said respectfully, "Changping Jun will surely understand the king's good intentions." "It's called siege, but it's actually protection."

The frown on Qin King Ying Zheng's face relaxed a little. "Zhao Gao, this is why I am willing to support you and give you honor."

It is really easy and comfortable to use.

"Go and give some instructions to the garrison."

Zhao Gao accepted the order, bowed and left.

Afterwards, King Ying Zheng of Qin held an umbrella and went to Mi Hua's palace alone.

Mi Hua was a timid and thoughtful person. If he was not comforted, she would be so frightened that she would end her life with a white silk scarf, begging him to forgive Fusu and the innocent Mi people.

Mi Hua died before the truth came out, and he felt guilty.

Inside the palace, the brazier had gone out and it was chilly.

"Mi Hua."

Mi Hua hurriedly wiped the tears from her cheeks and saluted hastily, "Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng sighed, "The matter has not yet been concluded, why do you have to torture yourself to this extent?"

Mi Hua's throat felt as if it was stuffed with cotton.

If it were confirmed that my father had rebelled against Qin, the Mi clan members in Xianyang would probably also die.

"Father will never betray the Qin or the king. Please understand my father."

Mi Hua knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, begging desperately.

"I know what's going on."

"During this period, malicious rumors from the outside world must be rampant. With your character, it will be difficult to resist."

"In my opinion, close the palace."

"I will keep Fusu by my side to guide and protect him. You don't need to worry."

"The Xianyang Mi clan members will be safe as they have garrison troops guarding them."

"What you need to do is to think less and worry less."

Mi Hua's tearful eyes brightened up again. "Mi Hua bows to thank the king."

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long.

The wind and snow lasted for many days and finally stopped.

On a sunny day with no clouds in the sky, Li Xin returned in a disheveled and dejected manner with his remaining troops.

After hearing so many rumors along the way, Li Xin couldn't help but start to believe them.

It was the premeditated mountain excavation and rock cutting by Lord Changping and the Chu people that led to the great defeat, resulting in the deaths of nearly 200,000 Qin troops.

But is it really like this?
King Ying Zheng of Qin summoned Li Xin and Meng Tian as soon as possible.

With just one glance, King Ying Zheng of Qin knew that Li Xin, the high-spirited man who had issued a military order and threatened to destroy Chu with 200,000 troops, had disappeared with the annihilation of the entire army.

In a pair of dim eyes, there is doubt, fear, self-blame and guilt, but the only thing missing is the fighting spirit that should be there.

Li Xin was devastated.

This is his personal praise for the brave and powerful General Li.

"I feel ashamed of the trust placed in me by the king. Only one out of ten of the Qin warriors I led survived. I cannot escape the blame for my death."

Ten do not save one.

King Ying Zheng of Qin felt a sudden pain in his heart.

Yes, out of the 200,000 Qin troops who set out on the expedition, only a few thousand survived.

"What happened?"

The situation was very good, but the defeat was unexpected.

"Is it Changping-kun?"

King Ying Zheng of Qin stared at Li Xin, who was determined to die, with eagle-like eyes.

Li Xin pursed his lips, and a tragic scene of the earth shaking and cracks swallowing people appeared in front of his eyes.

That is absolutely beyond human power, how could he be swayed by rumors?

However, the Qin Dynasty's unification could not withstand the punishment from heaven.

"I beg Your Majesty to dismiss your attendants."

King Ying Zheng of Qin waved his hand, and the palace ladies filed out.

"It's a punishment from heaven."

Li Xinxin still has lingering fears.

Meng Tian also had a look of fear on his face.

King Qin Ying Zheng's pupils shrank and his expression suddenly changed.
