Ying Yuan's eyes turned cold and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"These courtiers thought they were hiding well."

"But their every move is already under my control."

"They wanted to rely on local forces to fight against me, but they didn't know that I had already laid a net."

"Next, I will expose them completely."

Chen Ping nodded, already understanding Ying Yuan's plan.

"Sir, are you planning to lure them out of their hole and force them to expose themselves?"

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"good."

"The situation in Beijing may seem calm on the surface, but in fact, there are undercurrents."

"I want them to think that the situation is in their favor and thus reveal their flaws."

"When the time comes, I will eradicate them in one fell swoop."

Chen Ping was shocked after hearing this. Every step of Ying Yuan's plan was well thought out and he had all potential enemies firmly under his control.

"Young master is wise."

"However, I am worried that if these court officials feel threatened, they may unite with local forces to launch a counterattack."

"If there is unrest within the court, the situation will probably become more complicated."

Ying Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of cold murderous intent in his tone.

"If they dare to unite with local forces, they will court their own destruction."

"I will make them understand that anyone who attempts to challenge the authority of the Qin Empire will pay a heavy price."

"I have already taken control of the forces in the court and the localities. They don't stand a chance."

Chen Ping nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Sir, do you want to make early arrangements for these hidden dangers in the court?"

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, with a hint of deep thought in his tone.

"good."

"I have arranged for the Royal Guards to secretly investigate the records of these court officials' dealings with local forces."

"Next, it's time to break their illusions."

"Order the Imperial Guards to take immediate action to eliminate all the noble families in the capital that have ties to the remnants of Hu Hai."

"I want to let those in the court who are still hesitating see their end."

Chen Ping's heart trembled, knowing that the next action would cause an even bigger storm.

"I understand, and I will act according to your instructions."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes cold.

"These aristocratic families have controlled the court for too long, and their foundations have long been rotten."

"I will thoroughly clean up the court and restore order in the Qin Dynasty."

"Anyone who attempts to interfere with the future of the Qin Empire must be eradicated."

Just at this moment, a Jinyiwei hurried in, looking nervous.

"Sir, urgent news has come from the northern border that some remnants of the rebels in the border defense army are secretly colluding with local forces."

Ying Yuan's eyes turned cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Sure enough, they can't help it anymore."

"These local forces think they can take advantage of the unrest in the northern border to seek benefits, but every step they take is under my control."

Chen Ping's expression tightened after hearing this, and he whispered, "Sir, the situation in the northern border cannot be underestimated."

"Once local forces unite, they may have an impact on the rule of the imperial court."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, with endless determination in his eyes.

"Their alliance is nothing but a last-ditch effort."

"General Meng Tian has already received orders to be ready to deal with the rebellion at any time."

"I'm not going to give these people any more chances."

"Send a message to Meng Tian to immediately eliminate all forces colluding with the remnants of the rebels."

"Kill without mercy." Chen Ping nodded, then took the order and left.

Ying Yuan stood alone in the study, gazing at the night in the distance with a deep gaze.

The unrest in the northern border may appear to be a coalition of local forces on the surface, but behind the scenes it is actually a game within the entire Qin power structure.

Ying Yuan knew that this was not just a simple clearing operation, but also an opportunity to completely rebuild the order of the Qin Dynasty.

He wanted to take this opportunity to completely eradicate the local forces and the remnants of the court.

"The future of Daqin must be reshaped in my hands."

Ying Yuan whispered to himself, his eyes flashing with endless determination.

The storm has arrived, but he is still standing in the center of the storm, calmly controlling everything.

"Anyone who dares to attempt to shake the foundation of the Qin Empire will be completely destroyed."

Ying Yuan said coldly, his voice full of endless determination.

He has made all preparations to keep power firmly in his own hands.

The future of the Qin Dynasty is destined to flourish in his hands.

The power struggle in the capital will also come to an end with his decision.

The city of Xianyang was shrouded in mist in the early morning.

Ying Yuan stood on the high platform, overlooking the entire city, his heart as calm as water.

After a night of planning, he had already laid out all the chess pieces.

The rebellion in the southeast has been quelled, and the hidden dangers in the northern border are also under Meng Tian's control.

The next step is to thoroughly clean up the remaining opposition forces in the court and completely cut off their retreat.

"Sir, the Imperial Guards have already taken control of several aristocratic families in the capital who were involved with the remnants of Hu Hai."

"Their master is currently under secret house arrest in the mansion."

Chen Ping walked into the study and reported in a low voice.

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, his expression not changing at all.

"These aristocratic families have been relying on their power to secretly collude with local forces. Sooner or later, they will become a disaster."

"Now is the time to clean them up."

Chen Ping nodded, and then asked: "Sir, are we going to publicly deal with these aristocratic families next?"

Ying Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone revealing calm thought.

“There’s no need to rush to make it public.”

"These aristocratic families have deep roots in the court. If we deal with them rashly, it may cause panic among other ministers in the court."

"We need to stabilize the situation in the court and not let these people do anything desperate."

Chen Ping agreed with this and said, "I understand. Sir, you want to wait for the right time and take complete control of the situation before taking action?"

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, with a sneer on his face.

"Yes."

"I already have evidence against these people."

"They thought they could deal with me by being patient, but they didn't know that I had cut off all their escape routes."

"Then, with just one strike, they will have no way to escape."

Chen Ping showed a look of admiration. Every step of Ying Yuan's plan was steady and flawless.

"My Lord, you are wise. I will continue to monitor the movements of these families and ensure that they cannot put up any more resistance."

Ying Yuan nodded, his tone firm.

"Next, we need to further disintegrate their power."

"Although these aristocratic families have been placed under house arrest, they still have some hidden power outside the capital."

"Order the Royal Guards to continue tracking down the assets and connections of these noble families in the local area. If there is anything unusual, take immediate action."

Chen Ping accepted the order and then asked, "Sir, do those powerful officials in the court also need to be further controlled?"

Ying Yuan's eyes turned cold, and his tone was filled with endless coldness. (End of this chapter)
