Chapter 75 The world is in turmoil, oppression from the empire!!!
In the next three days.
The entire Qin territory was shrouded in an unusual dark cloud.
The situation is turbulent!
Undercurrents are surging beneath the calm sea surface!
Some smaller forces.
Out of deep fear of the vast power of the Qin Empire.
They all chose the most sensible but also the most helpless path.
They followed the strict orders of the empire.
Submitted a letter of surrender symbolizing submission.
This was a clear demonstration of loyalty to the empire.
Longing for some shelter from the coming storm.
however.
Not all forces are willing to give themselves up so easily.
Willing to be a screw in the huge imperial machine.
Those forces that are doubtful and unwilling to take sides easily.
They began to gather secretly and discuss their escape plan in whispers.
They know it.
The so-called “standing in line” in the empire.
In fact, it requires them to surrender completely.
Become an unconditional executor of the empire's will.
Once you step through this door.
It's like being put in invisible shackles.
From then on, he lost his freedom and dignity.
They can only be controlled by the empire.
I can only endure any unreasonable demands silently.
Such a fate.
To them.
It is tantamount to the imprisonment of the soul.
It is something they absolutely cannot accept.
However, the empire seemed to have seen through all this.
then.
The Empire acted quickly.
Heavy troops were deployed in various border areas across the vast territory.
Lay a dragnet.
Closely monitor every inch of land.
Once you spot someone behaving suspiciously.
We will immediately arrest him and bring him to justice without any leniency.
this move.
This has undoubtedly exacerbated the panic and anxiety among the people.
The entire Qin territory seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure.
Everyone is in danger and the atmosphere is extremely tense!
But as time went by, the situation changed quietly.
As more and more forces weigh the pros and cons.
Finally chose to compromise.
Submitted a letter of surrender.
The authority of the empire was further consolidated.
This seems like a heavy price to pay.
But to some extent, it also brought a brief period of peace and stability.
Unsettled situation.
It was like a sudden storm.
After the initial rampage.
Finally, it gradually fell silent!
Qin Wangfu.
Lin Xuan sat upright behind the desk.
In his hand he held tightly a secret report that had just been delivered.
This secret report.
It clearly lists the various forces that are attempting to escape from Qin territory and break free from the control of the empire in the near future.
As his eyes slowly moved.
The atmosphere in the lobby seemed to become increasingly solemn.
Time passes bit by bit.
Lin Xuan's eyes gradually narrowed into slits.
It exudes a sharpness that cannot be underestimated.
In this list.
He unexpectedly found several familiar names.
Behind these names.
These are the underworld forces with which he has had some deep or shallow dealings.
Even though they were outside the court.
But since we live in Qin territory.
You must obey the laws of the empire.
This is an ironclad rule.
After thinking for a moment.
Lin Xuan gently put down the secret report in his hand.
His gaze turned to Qinglong who was waiting on the side.
Qinglong had already read Lin Xuan's intentions and determination from his eyes.
Needless to say.
Lin Xuan simply gestured.
Qinglong immediately understood his mission.
"Go ahead,"
"According to the laws of the empire, properly deal with these forces that intend to betray."
"Let them know that no matter where they are, the majesty of the empire cannot be violated."
"Yes! Mr. Hou!"
Qinglong stood up and took the secret report.
Then he quickly left the mansion.
Looking at Qinglong's departing back.
Lin Xuan didn't show any sign of anxiety at all.
Instead, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked unusually relaxed and contented.
The strategy of "submitting the letter of surrender within three days" formulated by himself and Zheng Ge.
But it’s only the beginning.
Today is just the beginning.
There are only two days left.
Plenty of time.
There is no need to rush.
This action.
It's not just to collect letters of allegiance from all the forces in the world.
It is also necessary to announce it to the whole world.
Who is the real ruler of this vast land!
Pass this tight deadline of just three days.
Create an invisible pressure.
Let every force or individual within the Qin territory!
They all clearly felt the strong will and irresistible force from the empire!
He was happy to see this effect.
Because this is a key part of his strategy.
By applying pressure.
Let those who are lucky or have different intentions.
We have to face reality.
Recognize your situation.
Simultaneously.
It is also showing it to the whole world.
The authority of the King of Qin and the majesty of the empire.
It does not tolerate any challenge or infringement!
Lin Xuan believed it.
Over time.
This pressure will be like a huge rock pressing down on your head.
It left everyone breathless.
Eventually they had to choose to surrender or flee.
No matter which option it is.
All of these will further consolidate the empire's ruling position!
royal palace.
Kylin Hall.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and tense.
Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne.
He also held a secret letter tightly in his hand.
Listed in the letter.
It is a list of forces that intend to defect from the country.
It’s just that his calmness is different from Lin Xuan’s.
Ying Zheng's reaction was like thunder.
He immediately summoned Prime Minister Li Si, General Wang Ben and other important court officials to the Qilin Hall to discuss state affairs!
Every name on the list.
They were like sharp thorns piercing Ying Zheng's heart.
He was well aware of the escape of these forces.
It was not only a challenge to imperial authority.
It is also a huge threat to the future security of the empire.
Once you let them go.
It's like letting a tiger return to the mountains!
When and where is the future!
These forces could become a major threat to the empire.
All the ministers in the palace heard this.
The expressions are different.
But most people's faces were filled with worry.
They are well aware of the dangers of these forces.
I also understand that if we let them escape.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
therefore.
When Ying Zheng proposed to send a large army to intercept, it was agreed by most people.
however.
Just now.
There were hurried footsteps outside the hall.
Interrupted everyone's discussion.
Zhang Han hurried into the hall with the latest news.
He announced to Ying Zheng and his ministers that King Mian of Qin had already made careful arrangements for the matter and there was no need to send additional troops.
This news came as a welcome relief.
The tense atmosphere in the hall was instantly relieved.
Ying Zheng heard this.
The frown finally relaxed.
then.
Everyone started discussing other matters again.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
During these three days.
Countless forces sent people to Xianyang, entered the palace and met Ying Zheng.
At the same time they also brought their greatest sincerity!
But also today.
An uninvited guest came to Lin Xuan's mansion.
This person is the current head of Confucianism, I am in awe!
Just his arrival.
This surprised Lin Xuan a little.
And most importantly.
This Fu Nian entered Xianyang.
First of all, don’t go to the palace to see Ying Zheng.
Instead, he came to his house to see him.
This goes without saying!
At the same time, it is enough to explain.
This person has something else going on!
