As the turmoil came to an end, Lao Ai was sentenced to death on the second day after being captured, and his body was cut into pieces by five horses. The end was extremely miserable, and all his followers were also killed.

The powerful Empress Dowager was also deprived of her power due to the Lao Ai incident and was forcibly confined to Yongcheng. If something unexpected happened, she might have to die alone in the old capital.

Because of being implicated by the former, Lu Buwei, the powerful prime minister, was also deposed from his position, and the power he had built for many years was uprooted.

There was also a thorough reshuffle in the court, and many important official positions were replaced.

Although this rebellion did not cause much substantial harm, the impact was huge, involving hundreds of officials, and many people who were usually close to Lao Ai and Lu Buwei were unlucky.

The people who benefited the most from this incident, besides Ying Zheng, were Meng Tian and Chang Pingjun.

Meng Tian was instrumental in rescuing the enemy, and was directly awarded the title of Young Master. He was ranked fifteenth among the twenty-level knights. No one among his peers could surpass him.

Lord Changping replaced Lu Buwei's original position and was appointed as the new prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. He was responsible for helping the king handle many important matters in the court. For a time, he was in the limelight and his family was like a city.

In addition, Li Si was also reused and became a Tingwei, one of the Nine Qings, in charge of judicial trials. It can be said that he rose to the top in one step.

With this powerful adjustment, the whole country seemed to have a completely new look. Under the leadership of King Qin, it became more vigorous and vigorous, and quickly entered a new stage...

A few days later, everyone returned to Xianyang.

In the main hall of the palace, Ying Zheng was sitting at the table reviewing memorials. At this moment, Meng Tian came from outside the palace, knelt down and saluted: "General, I will pay my respects to the king!"

"I'm sorry, how are things going?"

Ying Zheng put down the ink pen in his hand and asked.

Meng Tian replied with a respectful look: "Reporting to the king, I was ordered to inspect Lao Ai's family property. I found a large amount of money, jewelry and land deeds, worth hundreds of thousands of gold in total!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said coldly: "The traitorous officials and traitors actually embezzled so much money. They deserve to die!"

Meng Tian, ​​who was below, paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment and then continued: "In addition, the general also found two children in his home."

When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression changed, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Lao Ai's child?"

Meng Tian hesitated for a moment, and then replied cautiously: "Back to the king, yes, and according to what the old servant at home said, these two children are from the palace..."

"In the Queen Mother's Palace?"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask.

Upon hearing the question, Meng Tian just lowered his head and said nothing more.

In an instant, the hall fell silent. Ying Zheng clenched his fists tightly, his face was so gloomy that he could drip water, anger and shame flashed from his eyes.

The air in the hall became quiet. After more than ten breaths, Ying Zheng took a deep breath, and then a murderous intention burst out in his heart, and he said coldly: "Drag him down and kill him!

The body was sent to Yongcheng and handed over to the Queen Mother for disposal."

"promise!"

Meng Tian responded and then retreated.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, closed his eyes and looked expressionless. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he let out a deep sigh...

While the Qin State was clearing up the civil strife, the Shandong states on the other side were not idle either. After more than a month of deliberations, the attack on Qin was finally finalized.

The specific content of the alliance and the attribution of interests have basically been distributed. Due to South Korea's temporary withdrawal, only four countries were left in the original five countries to conquer Qin.

In less than half a month, armies from all walks of life gathered in one place and pushed toward the Qin border in the west.

This time, a total of 600,000 troops were gathered for this joint alliance, of which Zhao and Chu sent 200,000 troops, while the other two countries each sent 100,000 troops.

Among them, Zhao Wangqian served as the co-counselor. Of course, because he was still young, he only had a title. Most matters were still decided by the prostitute.

The power of commander-in-chief of the three armies was taken by the equally powerful Chu State. In order to gain a greater chance of victory, after deliberation, Xiang Yan, the general of the Xiang clan, was finally appointed.

Regarding this point, all countries have little meaning. Although there are many generals among several countries, there are not many who can really take advantage of them.

The most powerful among them is naturally Li Mu, Lord Wu'an of Zhao State, but he still has to station in the northern border to guard against the Huns' invasion, so he is not suitable to lead troops and horses all the way to attack Qin.

Besides him, the most suitable candidate is Xiang Yan, the Shangzhu State of Chu State. Although this person's record is worse than that of Li Mu, he is also a famous general and has great reputation.

Just a few days ago, an army of 600,000 soldiers, under the command of Xiang Yan, marched towards the Qin State in a mighty manner.

After learning about this, Ying Zheng, far from being timid at all, immediately ordered the deployment of troops to fight head-on. In just a few days, more than 500,000 troops were gathered.

Later, General Wang Jian was appointed as the commander-in-chief, fully responsible for the war.

As the war got closer and closer, the entire country began to operate quickly and orderly like a huge machine. The three officials and nine ministers each performed their duties, and many officials became busy.

Although the four-nation coalition seemed very powerful, Ying Zheng had full confidence in himself and the Qin State.

Since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin army's tiger and wolf divisions have been brave enough to conquer the seven kingdoms, so there is a saying that the soldiers of Wei cannot match the martial arts of Qi, and the martial arts of Qi cannot match the warriors of Qin.

In addition, after several generations of hard work by the Qin people, the overall national strength is far superior to that of the other countries. Even Qi cannot compare with it in terms of economy.

Especially the completion of the large canal built by Zheng Guo last year gave him great confidence.

The land in Guanzhong has become thousands of miles of fertile wilderness. This year's grain reserves have greatly increased. The warehouses are already full of grains, enough to support hundreds of thousands of people in successive wars.

Therefore, what Ying Zheng was thinking about was not how to resist the invading enemies, but how to severely damage the coalition forces so that the future unification of the world could proceed more smoothly...

The war is about to break out, and everyone is paying close attention to the movements of both sides. After all, this war is likely to determine the ownership of the entire world.

But at this moment, an uninvited guest came to the door...

After coming to power, Ying Zheng continued to handle government affairs in the palace as before. As the war approached, he also had many matters to deal with.

A palace servant came quickly and lowered his head to report: "Your Majesty, the master of the Yin Yang family has come to ask for an audience!"

After the words fell, Ying Zheng's expression changed, and then he said calmly: "Pass."
