Chapter 49: Baiyue wins a great victory and attacks Ye Chi!
For a moment, the city of Xianyang was filled with people, cheers and discussions rose and fell, merging into waves of excitement! !
"General Tu Sui won a great victory! Our Great Qin is mighty!" Someone raised his arms and shouted, his face filled with pride and excitement.

"Yes! The general is brave and good at fighting. The enemies of Baiyue are definitely no match for him!" Others echoed, extremely excited.

The earth-shaking cheers of the people rose one after another, as if they were going to overturn the entire Xianyang city!
……

At that time, the court was also filled with joy.

When all the ministers heard the good news, they were all delighted and congratulated the First Emperor!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" A minister stepped out first, bowed and saluted, saying, "General Tu Sui is extremely brave, and the five armies are unstoppable. This is a blessing for our Great Qin and a blessing for the country!!"

"That's right!" Another minister also echoed, "This great victory not only demonstrates the national prestige and military power of our Great Qin, but also allows the barbarians in all directions to see the bravery and fighting skills of our Great Qin soldiers. From now on, who dares to underestimate our Great Qin?"

All the ministers spoke one after another, praising Tu Sui's achievements and the national prestige of the Qin Dynasty.

The entire court was filled with laughter and a festive atmosphere!
The First Emperor sat upright on the imperial couch and read the victory news with his own pen.

When he saw that Tu Sui did not follow Ye Chi's vicious plan, but relied on his own wisdom and courage to win a great victory in the battle of Baiyue, he was slightly displeased at first. He had high hopes for Ye Chi's vicious plan, believing that this plan could help the Qin Dynasty quickly pacify the Baiyue and stabilize the southern border.

However, Tu Sui did not adopt this strategy, but instead used his own ingenuity to defeat Baiyue and achieve a great victory!
However, this dissatisfaction was soon diluted by the joy of victory.

After all, no matter what the process is, the result is the most important.

The fact that Tu Sui was able to achieve a great victory was enough to prove that his decision was correct.

However, while he was happy, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel suspicious of Ye Chi.

Ye Chi was known for his wisdom and strategies, but now his strategies were not used, and the war was won. Could it be that his talent was not worthy of his reputation? Or was he just a mediocre talent with a false reputation?

As he pondered, the First Emperor frowned and his eyes sparkled.

He knew that no one is perfect and even the wisest can make mistakes. However, this time Ye Chi's strategy achieved victory before it was implemented, which made it difficult not to re-examine his talent.

The First Emperor secretly made up his mind that he would examine Ye Chi's talent more carefully in the future to determine whether he was genuine before deciding whether to entrust him with important tasks...

After all, the importance of the country and society is not a joke and cannot be taken lightly! !

At this time, the doctors of Fengchang Temple who had been dismissed by Ye Chi before were dissatisfied and jointly submitted a memorial to the emperor, attempting to fight back in one fell swoop.

The memorial was filled with indignant words, accusing Ye Chigong of seeking personal revenge, disregarding the laws of the court, and arbitrarily dismissing loyal officials!

All the doctors gathered in the court, excited, and gave advice to the First Emperor.

A man stepped forward and said passionately, "Your Majesty, Ye Chi has just taken office as the Minister of Fengchang Temple, but he has acted arbitrarily, treating personal grudges as public grudges, and dismissed loyal and good people like us without reason!"

"This behavior is truly a disgrace to the court and a worry to the country! I hope Your Majesty will see clearly and give us justice!!"

Everyone echoed the voice, the words were fierce, and the emotions became increasingly difficult to calm.

"Your Majesty! Ye Chi abused his power and dismissed us innocently! I am loyal and sincere to the Qin Dynasty, but I didn't expect to suffer such an unprovoked disaster... Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me and severely punish Ye Chi to serve as a warning to others!!"

"Your Majesty, Ye Chi is arrogant and self-righteous, and he bullies his colleagues at will. His actions have seriously damaged the dignity and laws of the court! If this person is not severely punished, no one will dare to speak out in the future. I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter!"

On the imperial couch, the First Emperor glanced at the doctors coldly, frowning slightly, feeling a little surprised. He had never expected that Ye Chi, such a smart man, would do such an unwise move.

Such a blatant revenge?

Moreover, Ye Chi is now an important official in the imperial court, and he should put the country first. How can he ignore the overall situation because of personal grudges? !
At this moment, the atmosphere in the court was solemn and the ministers were talking about it.

Only Prime Minister Li Si had deep brows and looked aloof.

He stood quietly in a corner, as calm as ever, without saying a word, as if he was outside the storm.

However, the other ministers were very emotional and echoed the call for condemnation of Ye Chi.

They spoke harshly, accusing Ye Chi of being intolerant. If he were allowed to hold a high position of power, he would kill anyone who dissidentd from him and leave no chance of survival.

"Your Majesty, Ye Chi is insidious and cunning, and narrow-minded. He must not be allowed to hold power!" A minister spoke indignantly, and his voice echoed in the court.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if Ye Chi gains power, he will definitely exclude loyal and good people and act arbitrarily, which will be extremely detrimental to our Great Qin country!" Another minister followed closely and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The voices of condemnation from the ministers rose one after another, as if to drown out the entire court.

The First Emperor thought deeply about this matter, turned his gaze to Fusu, and said: "Fusu, this matter...what do you think?"

Fusu responded with a solemn expression, and reported the matter truthfully: "Your Majesty, I know this matter very well. Mr. Ye is an upright person and would never do such a despicable thing. It is because the doctors in the Fengchang Temple deceived their superiors and subordinates, committed fraud, and accepted bribes. They have committed numerous crimes, so Mr. Ye dismissed them!"

"If you don't believe me, Mr. Ye has a ledger that can verify their crimes one by one!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent. All the ministers were silent and looked at each other.

When the doctors in the court heard what was said, they fell to the ground and trembled in fear.

Their faces were pale, cold sweat streamed down their foreheads, and their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety!

How can it be? !
They act so secretively in their daily lives, so how could Ye Chi have their account books?
One of them mustered up his courage and argued in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, it's unfair! It was Ye Chi who framed us!"

The First Emperor sneered, turned his gaze to Li Si, and asked slowly: "Li Si, what do you think?"

Li Si stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Qin governs the country by law. The truth will be known as soon as it is investigated. I suggest that the palaces of the doctors be confiscated immediately to distinguish right from wrong!"

The First Emperor nodded in agreement and immediately ordered: "Come here, search the residences of the doctors!!"

When the doctors heard this, they were all panicked! !

The entire court was filled with an atmosphere of fear and anxiety!
At the command of the First Emperor, the palace guards pounced on the doctors like wolves and tigers and escorted them out one by one.

Soon, the properties and books in the doctors' homes were also confiscated.

The entire city of Xianyang was shaken, and the people were talking about it, wondering how this storm would end.
