Chapter 360 Zhu Family's Alertness

"Your Majesty knows that you have suppressed the old Qin nobles who used the new policy in my Qin court by Lu Jia. You cut off more than a dozen of them in your head alone, and there are countless people who go to the border to work. How much resentment did this action cause the old Qin nobles?"

This is really the first time the Zhu family said to Ying Gao. The Zhu family had never mentioned it before, which made Ying Gao stunned, but then he showed his signature smile.

"This is true. I have touched the interests of these old Qin nobles. Naturally, these people will not have any good feelings for me, but I don't care much about what these people feel. If they can be their nobles honestly, I will not touch their salary and status among the old Qin people. This is already a kindness and righteousness to them. If there are no ungrateful people, hum..."

Ying Gao's sneer had already shown his attitude towards these so-called old Qin nobles, which was contempt. Ying Gao knew that their ancestors might have contributed to the creation of glory of the Qin Dynasty, but now they have obviously got a little more from themselves, which is something that Ying Gao would never allow.

But the Zhu family didn't want to hear Ying Gao and other foresighted people. When he saw that Ying Gao was indeed such an indifferent bear, he could only sigh slightly, preparing to tell me something that he had never told Ying Gao and that Ying Gao had never asked him.

"Your Majesty knows how many assassinations have he been in Xianyang City since Lu Jia became a counselor and began to expose the actions of the old Qin nobles in the court?"

Of course, Ying Gao didn't expect the Zhu family to suddenly ask such a question. Although he seemed to know what the Zhu family was going to say, Ying Gao was really interested in how many times Lu Jia had assassinated.

Because he knew that Lu Jia was assassinated or beaten, he was definitely relieved to have the Zhu family and the Qin guards in charge of this matter, so naturally he had not paid much attention to it before. So Ying Gao nodded and signaled to the Zhu family to say it out.

"In the months when Lu Jia was the counselor of the Qin Dynasty, no one had assassinated him nearly a hundred times. Even though the king had already stopped him from providing evidence of his failure to comply with the new policy in the court, just five days ago, he was assassinated on his way back to the mansion. Fortunately, I did not stop protecting him secretly, otherwise Lu Jia would have died on the way back to the mansion."

When the Zhu family said this, it was really not a joke at all. Ying Gao, who was standing in front of him and smiling, finally realized the seriousness of the problem this time.

After a few months, one hundred times, what does that mean? It means it’s once every one or two days! And how long has this matter been stopped? According to the principle, the people who should be dealt with have already been dealt with, and the safe people are already safe. There is no need for them to assassinate Lu Jia again, causing trouble.

But someone really did this, what does this mean? This means that after their hatred for Lu Jia, that is, some of the nobles of the Qin Dynasty did not give up on the matter that Ying Gao had dealt with their family. In other words, they did not realize that there was something wrong with what they did.

"It's so rampant. Who has been instructed to have those assassinations been captured?

After thinking for a while, Ying Gao felt a little angry. If the Zhu family relaxed a little, then Lu Jia might have to be killed by a killer on the way home one day. What's so great?

As soon as he asked, the Zhu family shook their heads slightly again. Ying Gao could have thought of it, and as a professional protector, he knew it.

"Some of these killers escaped when they saw something bad. The protectors were afraid of being trapped in the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so they did not chase them. During this period, they also captured several people, but they were all dead soldiers, nameless and without a surname, and did not know where they came from, so they did not tell the Lord."

"Dead Soldier? Is there a dead soldier still there in Xianyang City?"

The Zhu family didn't know that Ying Gao didn't know. When the Zhu family said that, Ying Gao was really shocked. Where is Xianyang City? It is the capital of the Qin Dynasty. Not only does it have a curfew, but it also has a very strict censorship system.

But now it seems that a great Qin counselor had been assassinated nearly a hundred times on his way from Xianyang Palace to his mansion in just a few months, and the commander behind the scenes did not show any of them. This is Lu Jia's failure so far. If something happened to Lu Jia, wouldn't it be equivalent to slapping Ying Gao in the face?

"Yes, most of these dead men have some skills. Before, many old Qin nobles and the three nobles and nine ministers in the Qin Dynasty all liked to raise their disciples from the six kingdoms. Now, although the Qin Dynasty has long unified the Central Plains, these disciples still exist. What they do is to eliminate dissidents, so naturally they will not disclose their identities."

What the Zhu family said was obviously an open secret among the nobles and officials of Xianyang City. The Zhu family is now a big official in Xianyang City, and is responsible for a very important matter. Therefore, on weekdays, some big people who don’t take them to play with are still very happy to make friends with the Zhu family.

During the process of making friends, the Zhu family also learned a lot of things that were not on the surface in Xianyang City from these people. The Zhu family had always wanted to tell Ying Gao about these things earlier, but there was no suitable opportunity before. Moreover, he felt that if he had told these things like a chat, Ying Gao would probably not take them seriously. Now, this opportunity really came.

"What do you mean... Since he has the courage to intercept Zhu's family when they return home, he will also have the courage to intercept me in Xianyang Palace?"

With Ying Gao's intelligence, of course he knows what the Zhu family means to say so much.

"The king is a body of thousands of gold. When Jing Ke assassinated the Qin King Zheng at that time, it was precisely because the power of Yan State was already declining. Now the old Qin nobles in Xianyang City of the Great Qin are also declining. The king thinks that they really can't make a desperate move?"

Ying Gao had never experienced the group of people who assassinated Lu Jia, so of course he was a little unaware of the seriousness of the problem. What's more, it was one thing to dare to assassinate Lu Jia. If someone really dared to assassinate him, it would be another matter.

"The twenty lecturers who will be summoned tomorrow are all taught in Xianyang City and surrounding counties for a long time. They are not people who can be assigned their identities at will, let alone those who are lecturers or assassins. Can't you tell them at a glance?"

"This... even though that is the case, in my opinion, some old Qin nobles are afraid that they do not agree with the new policy of the emperor, and they are very likely to have the intention of rebellion. When the emperor summons those people tomorrow, they can just look at them from afar. Don't wait until the end!"

In terms of eloquence, the Zhu family is definitely a thousand miles apart from Ying Gao, but if they are alert to danger, the Zhu family is confident that they will definitely be stronger than Ying Gao.

Moreover, Ying Gao was still in the Xianyang Palace, and he never went to Xianyang City to see what the so-called old Qin nobles were like in life. The Zhu family hesitated, but did not dare to tell Ying Gao, that was, in the mansions of some old Qin nobles, the palace that was really a little more luxurious than Ying Gao.

Ying Gao looked at the Zhu family's solemn expression, and he also paid attention to this matter in his heart. He thought that he had felt too optimistic before, and he made up a decision in secret that after the summoning of the lecturers this time, he would definitely increase his efforts to deal with the problems of the disciples in the hands of these nobles.

Ying Gao had heard of these disciples a little before. Some were specially designed for advice, while others were specially used for killing people. Originally, Ying Gao thought that this matter would be finished after slowly digesting it, but now it seems that this is simply a huge hidden danger, especially when the owners of these disciples are very resentful to them.

The new policy of the Qin Dynasty is definitely important to Ying Gao, but of course it is not that important compared to his own life. If he loses himself, even if the Qin Dynasty develops into a dynasty that unifies the world, it has nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Ying Gao didn't care much about his face. He just kept the Zhu family in Xianyang Palace for a while. No one knew what the two discussed. However, judging from the happy expression when the Zhu family left Xia Xianyang Palace, it was obvious that the emperor of the Qin Dynasty had already heard of his own words.

The next day, what happened in Xianyang City was about what almost every person living in Xianyang City was talking about, because the twenty outstanding figures from various schools who were selected by the Emperor of Daqin, who had been selected by thousands of dishes, entered the court of Daqin together on this day.

For an ordinary people of the Qin Dynasty, it is obviously a great honor to be able to enter the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty, not to mention that it was summoned by the current emperor himself.

As for what they are doing, no one knows, but the most widely circulated saying in Xianyang City is that these people are like Lu Jia before. Once his talent and knowledge are valued by the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, they can directly serve in the Qin Dynasty court.

Although he may not be in a high position directly as Lu Jia before, once ten or eight of them enter the Qin Dynasty, it will obviously make Ying Gao's confidants more powerful in the Qin Dynasty.

Although this summoning was in the Qin Dynasty, there were not all the officials of the Qin Dynasty. Instead, there were only Ying Gao, Zhu family, Meng Yi, Xiao He, Feng Quji, and Lu Jia.

Obviously, although these people are not all Ying Gao's confidants, they are all the confidants related to this matter. Han Xin is not very interested in it except for war. Even if Ying Gao wants him to come, he will feel the atmosphere of his new policy. The young Han Xin is not very happy to go there.

Meng Yi and others really came to the court early in the morning. Only Ying Gao's position was still empty. Ying Gao naturally had to wait until all the people he summoned were in place before he could appear. This is the emperor's privilege.

At the same time, outside the palace gate of Xianyang Palace, twenty people in robes were lined up to wait for the inspection of the imperial guards who came out of the palace gate. This was the process they had to go through to enter the Xianyang Palace. Except for Ying Gao, everyone in the Xianyang Palace had to go through this before entering. The purpose was naturally to see if you brought any swords, guns, swords and halberds into the palace.

The guards at the door inspected it very carefully. Otherwise, once these people brought something that they shouldn't have brought into Xianyang Palace, no matter how this person is, the first thing they did, the person they checked for was the first to be abolished. This is the strictness of the Qin and Qin laws. Ying Gao did not make any changes to these. He knew how important it was to let a person do his job well.

These twenty people, from twenty or thirty to fifty years old, were really different. Some of them stood in groups of three or three, while others were alone and ten thousand from others. Obviously, they all came from different places and different schools.

In this era, people from different schools must have nothing to say, because they are scholars and have to promote their own school as soon as they open their mouths. The ideas promoted by different schools are very different, which leads to a seemingly incompatible relationship between them.

After a routine body search, the people who passed by began to walk cautiously in the direction of the court under the leadership of the guards inside. This process was quite slow, because there was no detecting equipment department in this era. In order to prevent someone from entering the palace with a big killer hidden in their crotch, the inspection of the guards was quite time-consuming.

Finally, more than half an hour passed, and all twenty people finally walked into Xianyang Palace.

At this moment, among the people of Xianyang City who were watching the fun around, two people with ordinary clothes and appearance looked at each other, and then squeezed out the crowd and left.

Not long after, in a dim room, the two men who had not had time to replace the Guizhou Shou service were kneeling on the ground to report the matter to an old man.

"In this way, he has already sneaked into Xianyang Palace and has not been found abnormal by the guards?"

"That's right, as the gentleman's instructions, the man was in the back. It seems that the guards were a little tired in the end, so they did not notice any abnormalities."
