Ying Yuan stood there, eyes slightly narrowed, quietly waiting for the final result.

Hu Hai's coup had completely failed, but he still refused to admit defeat.

This was something Ying Yuan had already expected.

"Hu Hai will definitely fight back stubbornly." Chen Ping said in a low voice.

"He has lived in a vortex of conspiracy and power since he was a child. Zhao Neng gave him too much false hope, making him think that he could really control everything."

"But he simply doesn't understand that he is not the one who is truly in control of the situation."

Ying Yuan smiled faintly.

"Hu Hai is nothing but a joke. His failure is already doomed."

"After tonight, Hu Hai will no longer have any chance of resistance."

Not long after, news came from outside.

"Sir, Hu Hai has been captured by the Royal Guards."

Ying Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and then he regained his composure.

"very good."

"Take Hu Hai to the Dali Temple for trial."

"The evidence is solid, execute immediately."

Chen Ping nodded: "Hu Hai's crime is unforgivable. After getting rid of him, the government will be completely stable."

Ying Yuan walked to the window and looked at the night scene of the capital city, his eyes filled with endless coldness and determination.

"The era of Hu Hai is over."

"Next, it's my time."

With Hu Hai being captured, the last threat to Xianyang City completely disappeared.

Ying Yuan knew that the storm had subsided, and he had become the final winner in this power struggle.

"Mr. Chen, what we have to do next is to thoroughly eliminate those hidden forces."

"This storm has just ended, but the future of Daqin has just begun."

Chen Ping nodded in agreement.

"Sir, I have already drawn up some cleanup plans. Next, I will cooperate with the Jinyiwei to clean up the remaining forces in the court one by one."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, his expression firm.

"very good."

"I don't want any more opposition voices in the days ahead."

"Anyone who dares to be my enemy will pay the price for their choice."

Chen Ping nodded and said yes, then left.

Ying Yuan stood in the study with a deep look in his eyes.

That night, he completely controlled the situation in the capital.

Hu Hai's failure marked that the future of the Qin Dynasty was completely in his hands.

"The winner is the king." Ying Yuan whispered to himself, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

The storm in the capital finally subsided.

In this power struggle, Ying Yuan has already stood at the top of power.

And what he needs to do next is to lead the Qin Dynasty to new glory.

"The future of the Qin Dynasty will be written by me personally." Ying Yuan's voice was low.

The night in Xianyang city is exceptionally quiet.

Ying Yuan stood in the courtyard, the breeze brushing the corners of his clothes, bringing a bit of chill.

Hu Hai's coup had completely failed, and the situation in the capital city stabilized.

But Ying Yuan knew in his heart that the struggle for power was far from over.

There are still many forces hidden in the dark in the Qin court. Although they have temporarily ceased their activities after the fall of Hu Hai, they are still waiting for opportunities to act in secret.

"Sir, Hu Hai has been taken to the Dali Temple. The court officials are all shocked by this, and many of them have begun to surrender voluntarily." Chen Ping walked into the courtyard and reported in a low voice.

Ying Yuan nodded, his expression calm.

"They are just fence-sitters. If Hu Hai falls, they will naturally come to him."

"However, those who surrender voluntarily may not be trustworthy. They may just be submissive temporarily and still have their own plans in secret."

Chen Ping frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "My Lord, what you said is very true. Although those people in the court have surrendered on the surface, many of them are still watching privately, worried about your next move."

"They don't know how the situation will develop next, so they stay on hold for the time being." Ying Yuan smiled coldly.

"These court officials have always been opportunistic."

"What they are worried about is not the future of Daqin, but their own interests."

"I can't give them any chance to stir up trouble again."

Chen Ping nodded, and then asked: "Sir, how should we deal with these hidden forces next?"

Ying Yuan walked to the center of the courtyard and looked up at the night sky with a sharp gaze.

"Hu Hai's defeat was only the first step."

"The remaining forces in the court must be completely eliminated."

"As long as there is a little room for resistance, these people will wait for an opportunity to strike."

"I can't give them any chance."

Chen Ping understood Ying Yuan's determination and whispered, "Sir, when do you plan to take action?"

Ying Yuan's eyes gradually became sharp, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone.

"Now."

"It can't be delayed any longer."

"These potential threats must be eradicated immediately."

Chen Ping's heart sank, knowing that the situation that was about to happen would be even more cruel.

"I understand. I will immediately arrange personnel to eliminate these forces one by one."

Ying Yuan nodded, his expression grim.

"We must act quickly and not give them any chance to breathe."

"They thought they could still rely on the remnants of Hu Hai to survive, but now their only way out is to surrender completely."

"Otherwise, there is only one way to go, which is death."

Chen Ping bowed and accepted the order, then withdrew.

Ying Yuan stood alone in the courtyard, his heart as calm as water.

The calmness of this night is destined to be just a brief peace before the storm.

Next, he will launch a more thorough purge.

Those court officials who had colluded with Zhao Neng and those secret forces that were secretly accumulating power in the court would be eliminated one by one by him.

He wouldn't give them any more chances.

Ying Yuan took a deep breath and said coldly: "The future of Daqin must be firmly in my hands."

Just then, Feng Jie hurried in, looking a little nervous.

"Sir, there is news from the southeast that several ministers are trying to unite local troops and start a rebellion."

Ying Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, someone couldn't help it."

"They think they can rely on local troops to fight against me. They are really overestimating their own capabilities."

Feng Jie whispered, "Sir, the leaders of the rebels are several frontier officials who had close ties with Zhao Neng before. After Hu Hai fell, they began to secretly unite."

"Now, they have gathered some troops and are planning to take advantage of the turmoil in the imperial court to start an uprising."

Ying Yuan's expression remained calm, as if he had already anticipated all this.

"They are just fighting back."

"Send the order to mobilize the army immediately to suppress the rebellion in the southeast."

"Anyone who participates in the rebellion will be regarded as a traitor and will be killed without mercy."

Feng Jie nodded and said yes, then asked, "Sir, do we need to lead the army to suppress it personally?"

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes.

"No need."

"I've got something better planned."

"Let General Wang Jian lead the elite troops. He will know how to deal with this rebellion."

"Wang Jian is a famous general of our Great Qin. His reputation is enough to intimidate these clowns."

Feng Jie smiled with satisfaction and nodded. (End of this chapter)
