Chapter 95 If Ye Chi is not eliminated, we will have no place to stay!
At this moment, Ye Chi flicked his sleeves and slowly took out two green and yellow bamboo slips from his arms. His movements were like holding out rare treasures.
One copy was given to the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works, and the other was personally delivered to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng slowly stretched out his hand and solemnly took the green and yellow bamboo slips from Ye Chi's palm.
In the sunlight, the smooth texture of the bamboo slips is intertwined with the traces of time, making them appear simple and mysterious.
A trace of doubt flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes. He raised his head and looked at Ye Chi, with a hint of inquiry and curiosity in his voice: "Ye Qing, what is this?"
Ye Chi smiled slightly, and his voice echoed like a spring hitting a stone: "What the craftsmen have learned is the method of making refined salt."
"And what your majesty holds in your hands is a good strategy to deal with those stubborn clans!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to untie the ribbon of the bamboo slips in his hand!
As the bamboo slips were unfolded, the handwriting on them was as vivid as flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, coming into view.
He read word by word, and the expression on his face changed from confusion to surprise, and finally into a hearty laugh!
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Ying Zheng praised repeatedly, his laughter filled with infinite longing for the future, "Hahaha, Ye Chi, ah Ye Chi, you are really my lucky star!"
Ying Zheng's expression was like the warm sunshine of early spring suddenly breaking through the clouds, making Li Si, Fusu and others present at the scene at a loss for a moment, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were filled with doubts. What did His Majesty see?
How could such a happy smile appear on his usually dignified face?
Fusu was even more confused. He couldn't help but speculate in his heart, could it be that Mr. Ye had offered up some unexpected and vicious plan again?
At this moment, Ying Zheng seemed to have drawn endless strength from the bamboo slips. His voice echoed in the hall with an unquestionable majesty: "Master craftsmen, I order you to make all your efforts to produce refined salt today. No mistakes are allowed!"
All the craftsmen responded in unison: "As you command!"
After that, he handed the bamboo slips carrying important information to Li Si and said in a deep voice: "Li Si, I will leave this matter to you to arrange. Make sure it is done."
Li Si took the bamboo slips. Although he was full of doubts, he knew that this matter was of great importance.
He lowered his head and read the contents on the bamboo slips carefully.
At first, his face was full of doubt and confusion, but as he read deeper, his eyes gradually lit up, as if he had seen something incredible! !
When Li Si finally raised his head, his face was filled with excitement and ecstasy.
He bowed deeply to Ying Zheng, his voice trembling with excitement: "Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission and arrange this matter immediately!"
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction. He knew that with Li Si's help, this matter would be successfully implemented!
Although Fusu still had doubts in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to ask. He could only suppress his curiosity in his heart and wait for the future to reveal it.
……
The next day, the sunlight shone through the clouds, dappled onto the bluestone roads of Xianyang city.
As noon approached, the hustle and bustle in the city gradually heated up, but in the deep garden of the mansion in a corner of Xianyang, the scene was quite different.
All the major clans in Xianyang city gather here. They are usually high and mighty and control the economic lifeline of the city.
However, today, their faces were shrouded in a layer of gloom as they were discussing how to deal with Ye Chi from Fengchang Temple!
At this moment, the atmosphere was solemn and tense.
There was a layer of gloom on their faces, because Ye Chi's name was like a huge rock pressing on their hearts!
This wise counselor has become a major concern for the clans.
All the vicious strategies he presented to Your Majesty were aimed at the clan, making them feel like a thorn in their backs and unable to sleep or eat!
"This man is very smart and should not be underestimated." A clan leader said in a deep voice, his brows knitted, obviously quite afraid of Ye Chi. "Humph, he is just a commoner with no foundation, what can he be capable of?" Another clan leader snorted disdainfully, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"But we must find a way to suppress him!" said a clan leader in a deep voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"That's right. If this person is not contained, he will probably become a great enemy of our clan." Another clan leader echoed.
Everyone sat around, and at this moment, a clan leader spoke in a cold voice:
"It would be better to send someone to assassinate him secretly to prevent future troubles!"
Before he finished speaking, someone shook his head and said, "This method is inappropriate. Ye Chi is protected by the masters of the Black Ice Platform. It is difficult for our people to get close to him."
"There has been an attempt before, which failed. The chances of a successful assassination are slim."
Another leader had a sly look in his eyes and said, "Since fighting hard doesn't work, let's try soft tactics. We can bribe the people around Ye Chi in Fengchang Temple and use them for our own purposes, so as to obtain information about Ye Chi."
As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed: "This method is very good. Although the doctors in Fengchang Temple have some backbone, they may not be unshakable in the face of money and beauty!"
"As long as we give them enough benefits, they will definitely work for us."
However, some people have raised doubts: "Although this method is good, it is not foolproof!"
"If Ye Chi finds out about that bunch of spineless people, they will definitely bite back and betray us. Then, won't we be asking for trouble?"
Just when everyone was at a loss, a clan leader's eyes flashed with cunning, and he slowly said: "Why don't we kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, not understanding what it meant.
The clan leader continued, "Didn't Ye Chi offer many vicious strategies to His Majesty?"
"We can leak these vicious plans and let everyone in the world know that Ye Chi is a sinister and cunning person!"
"When the time comes, someone will naturally deal with him without us having to do anything!"
As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately echoed by many people.
Someone added: "We can also secretly spread rumors that Ye Chi is colluding with the Baiyue Land and trying to overthrow the Qin Dynasty! Don't forget how General Tu was defeated!"
"If this happens, His Majesty will certainly become suspicious of him."
Someone else suggested, "Then we can join forces with other court officials to impeach him together! As long as we can find evidence against him, we will be able to put him to death!"
However, when it comes to the War of Baiyue, all the clans look grim.
Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, foreign wars have been launched continuously, and the land of Baiyue has become an important target for the empire's expansion.
But for the clans, the War of Baiyue was a hot potato.
After all, His Majesty asked them to send their own sons to the battlefield, which was a serious violation of the patriarchal rules. They neither wanted to lose their own interests nor offend His Majesty.
Therefore, how to appease His Majesty is also a problem they urgently need to solve at this moment.
