Da Qin: I asked you to touch the jade seal, but you touched a woman?

Chapter 431 The ministers are excited, the last chance
Two days later, when the ministers found out that Ying Xi still hadn't appeared, their hearts that had given up on him became active again.

Who doesn't know that Ying Xi's strength is so powerful that he is in the realm of a half-immortal?

As Ying Xi's confidant, Cao Changqing must have tried it before, but it has been five days and there is no news. Does this mean that Ying Xi was not rescued?
Thinking of this, the ministers became excited.

If you haven't been rescued for five days, it means you won't be able to get out for a lifetime!
Or, Ying Xi is dead?
Thinking of this possibility, the ministers immediately became excited.

Although Ying Xi is the crown prince, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one enemy of officials like them!
Everything Ying Xi did was aimed at them, at the nobles!

They looked left and right, and finally waited until Ying Zheng woke up, but they didn't expect that their last hope, His Majesty was also deceived by Ying Xi, and still trusted Ying Xi so much!
I thought that in this life, I would live in fear and lose my head at any time, but I didn't expect that such a great thing would happen!

All of a sudden, various thoughts of the ministers emerged.

But these years, they were quickly suppressed by them.

Although not appearing for five days, it is already equivalent to never appearing.

But before confirmation, they always feel uneasy.

So the ministers gathered together and sent out a few spies to find out the news.

Not long after, the spies who went to the suburbs to investigate brought back news that Han Xin was still there!

Hearing this news, the ministers immediately lifted their spirits.

If it was just to prevent the common people from approaching danger, then there was no need for Han Xinshou to be there.

You know, Han Xin is responsible for the safety of Xianyang City!

How could such an important general guard a mountain?

There must be an important person buried under the mountain.

It can only be Yingxi!
After a while, another spy came back.

The news that this spy brought back was that there were small vendors on the road from Hongmen to Qiguo. They didn't see anyone passing by with gifts five days ago!

This shows that Ying Xi did not appear on that road at all.

And that road is the only way that Ying Xi and his entourage must pass!

In this way, the news that Ying Xi was buried can basically be confirmed!

"The next step is the final decision!"

In the early morning of the next day, just as Ying Zheng sat on the throne, he asked if there was anything to report, and a minister stood up.

Ying Zheng's face immediately became a little ugly.

In the past few days, the ministers were trembling every morning, and no one had anything to do.

But today, these ministers not only have something to do, but the expressions on their faces even have a little expectation.

This undoubtedly did not mean that these people probably believed the rumor outside.

Of course Ying Zheng knew about the news that was circulating outside.

Li Si suggested that Ying Zheng not take the initiative to bring it up, so that he could buy a few more days.

It's just that I didn't expect that nearly ten days had passed, and the seal still hadn't been broken.

"Say!" Ying Zheng said coldly.

Although the minister could hear Ying Zheng's displeasure, he still cleared his throat.

"Your Majesty, there have been some rumors outside these few days. I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of them?"

Before Ying Zheng could speak, Li Si had already stood up.

"My lord, since it's a rumor, then of course His Majesty doesn't need to know about it."

What Li Si said was well-founded: "Your Majesty is responsible for the entire Great Qin. If you let Your Majesty know about the rumors in every place, then Your Majesty will not have to do other things every day."

Seeing this, the ministers became more and more excited.

Li Si is usually very calm, but today he suddenly refuted, obviously he has a ghost in his heart!

The minister naturally realized this and confronted Li Si directly. "Prime Minister, what about you? Do you know about this rumor?"

As the minister said, he directly took out the piece of cloth.

Li Si didn't even look at it and directly admitted: "Of course I saw this thing, but I think what's written on it is all nonsense!"

Nonsense?

Li Si's characterization of the matter shocked the ministers.

"Prime Minister Li Si, what is written on it is related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The minister reminded.

"Of course I know."

Li Si couldn't back down: "It's because I know it's related to His Royal Highness, that's why I said it's nonsense!"

"Don't you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Qi State a few days ago to celebrate his grandfather's [-]th birthday?"

Seeing that Li Si was still so stubborn, the ministers jumped out one after another.

"We have already inquired that on the way to Qi, no one has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After the ministers finished speaking, they thought Li Si had to admit about Ying Xi, but they didn't expect Li Si to stare at him instead.

"What are you talking about? His Royal Highness did not go to Qi State successfully?"

"Since you know about this matter, why don't you report it to His Majesty immediately?"

"Could it be that you want to wait until something happens to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"You people are so vicious!"

After Li Si scolded the ministers, he knelt down towards Ying Zheng again.

"Your Majesty! If His Royal Highness is as they said, I implore His Majesty to punish them!"

The ministers were so frightened that they immediately fell to their knees: "Your Majesty, you have been wronged!"

"We didn't believe it at first, so we only dared to investigate secretly."

"We only got the news today, so we said it right away!"

Of course Ying Zheng knew that the reason why Li Si retorted so much was to scare the ministers once again.

Now that everything is ready, if I am not worthy of being with Li Si, wouldn't it be a waste of Li Si's performance?
Yingzheng immediately clarified the dragon case and shouted angrily: "The prime minister is right. Since you already knew about it, why didn't you report it to the widow earlier?"

"Could it be that you want to murder the prince because the prince's policy is detrimental to you?!"

The ministers were so frightened that their hearts almost jumped out, and they kowtowed again and again.

"Your Majesty is aware!"

"I just don't dare to talk nonsense!"

"We really don't want to murder the prince!"

Faced with the sophistry of the ministers, Ying Zheng didn't listen at all.

"Come here, lock them all up and wait for them to be released!"

Immediately, a group of people rushed in from outside and dragged down the crying ministers.

The hall immediately became empty, leaving only Ying Zheng and Li Si.

Li Si said at this time: "Your Majesty, locking them up right now can only be delayed for a while, but if His Highness the Crown Prince cannot be rescued, I'm afraid things... will develop in a bad direction."

Ying Zheng nodded solemnly.

He knew Li Si was right.

"Over there at the border, what's the news?"
