Ying Yuan shook his head, his eyes filled with calm thought.

"No need for now."

"Feng Quji doesn't dare to confront me openly. He is just trying to contain me by winning over other ministers."

"But he won't have many chances."

Chen Ping nodded, secretly admiring Ying Yuan's foresight.

"My Lord is wise. I have already arranged for someone to closely monitor Feng Quji's every move."

"As long as he makes any unusual movements, we can take immediate action."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, turned his gaze to the window, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone.

"Feng Quji is the most stubborn faction in the court. If you want to touch him, you must strike him deadly."

"I will wait until the time is right and then eradicate him once and for all."

Chen Ping then asked, "Sir, the aristocratic families in the capital are quiet on the surface, but they are still accumulating strength in secret. Do you need to further suppress their power?"

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

"These aristocratic families have long lost the chance to turn the tables."

"The only thing they can rely on is the powerful officials in the court, but when the powerful officials fall, they will also fall with them."

"I won't let them have any respite."

Chen Ping's heart sank, knowing that Ying Yuan's plan had been gradually unfolding, and the next actions would inevitably be more decisive and fierce.

"Sir, I understand the next steps."

"I will continue to arrange manpower to ensure that these noble families can no longer resist."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, then waved his hand, signaling Chen Ping to leave.

After Chen Ping left, Ying Yuan sat quietly in front of the desk, staring at the map on the table.

The territory of the Qin Dynasty was vast, but with the demise of the remnants of Hu Hai, the situation in the court was also undergoing drastic changes.

He knew that every next step was crucial.

If you cannot completely control the court, all your efforts will be in vain.

"Feng Quji, old ministers in the court... your time has passed."

Ying Yuan whispered to himself, with a determined light in his eyes.

Just then, a guard came in hurriedly, looking nervous.

"Sir, urgent news has come from the southeast. General Wang Jian discovered evidence of aristocratic families hiding troops during a campaign to suppress the southeast."

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

"Hidden soldiers and horses?"

"These noble families are indeed unwilling to give in. They are actually trying to fight against the imperial court through force."

Chen Ping immediately walked into the hall, and his expression became more solemn when he heard the news.

"Sir, these noble families are obviously desperate. If they really have hidden troops, I'm afraid they will try to launch an armed rebellion next."

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

"If they really dare to launch a rebellion, they will destroy themselves."

"Order Wang Jian to collect the evidence of these hidden troops and horses."

"At the same time, secretly wipe out these soldiers and horses. If there is any resistance, kill them without mercy."

Chen Ping nodded and accepted the order, then asked, "Sir, do you want to make this matter public to intimidate the powerful officials in the court?"

Ying Yuan shook his head, his tone revealing a hint of calm thought.

“Now is not the time to go public.”

"These aristocratic families have many allies in the court. If we make it public, it will only alert them."

"I will wait until their power is fully exposed, and then I will eradicate them in one fell swoop."

Chen Ping secretly admired Ying Yuan's plan. The next move was obviously a fatal blow to the aristocratic families. "I understand that the game you set up is gradually closing in. These aristocratic families have no chance of turning the tables."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes still calm.

"The fate of these aristocratic families has long been determined."

"They once relied on their wealth and power to bully the Qin court, but now their era is over."

"I want them to understand that the future of Daqin no longer belongs to them."

Chen Ping then said, "Sir, once these aristocratic families are destroyed, the powerful officials in the court will be left without anyone to rely on, and then we can completely control the court."

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

"good."

"The powerful officials in the court and the aristocratic families have always relied on each other, and their interests are entangled with each other."

“But when their foundations are shaken, they collapse in an instant, like a tree without roots.”

"I won't give them any chance to regroup."

Just then, a spy came in hurriedly, looking nervous.

"Sir, there is news from Feng Quji's residence that Feng Quji is secretly gathering a group of ministers who are in collusion with the aristocratic families and seems to be preparing to take action."

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

"Feng Quji is indeed unwilling to sit and wait for death."

"He is now in a desperate battle, and wants to fight back with his last bit of strength."

After hearing this, Chen Ping's expression slightly tensed, and he whispered: "Sir, if Feng Quji really takes action, I'm afraid it will have an impact on the situation in the court."

"If it is not contained in time, it may lead to greater unrest."

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

"Feng Quji's actions are exactly what I want."

"I have already laid out a trap, and I am just waiting for him to show his weakness."

"Order the Royal Guards to closely monitor Feng Quji's residence. If he makes any substantive move, take action immediately."

Chen Ping nodded and accepted the order, then asked, "Sir, should we expose Feng Quji's conspiracy in advance to prevent him from causing greater chaos in the court?"

Ying Yuan shook his head, his tone full of calm analysis.

"No need."

"Feng Quji's actions may seem secretive, but in fact, every step he takes is under my control."

"I will wait until he is completely exposed, and then I will wipe him out with his accomplices in one fell swoop."

"In this way, the opposition forces in the court will no longer have anything to rely on."

Chen Ping was shocked. Every step of Ying Yuan's plan was extremely meticulous, and he had all possible counterattacks firmly under his control.

"My Lord is wise. I will immediately arrange personnel to ensure that Feng Quji's every move is under our control."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes still cold as he stared into the distance.

He knew that this storm was about to usher in a final decisive battle.

Both Feng Quji and other opposition forces in the court will be completely destroyed in this storm.

"Feng Quji, your era is over."

"The future of the court will be controlled by me."

Ying Yuan said in a low voice, with endless determination flashing in his eyes.

The sunlight shone through the window lattices of the East Palace and fell on Ying Yuan's face.

He sat quietly at his desk, staring at the map on the table with serious eyes.

The territory of the Qin Dynasty was before his eyes, but Ying Yuan knew in his heart that this vast land was not as stable as it seemed. (End of this chapter)
