"Your suggestion is a good one."

"Immediately issue an order to mobilize loyal local generals and secretly launch a cleansing operation."

"There is no need for these remnants of the aristocratic families to continue to exist."

Chen Ping's heart sank, knowing that Ying Yuan had made up his mind and this time the purge would be thorough.

"Don't worry, sir. I will personally supervise this matter and make sure these forces have nowhere to escape."

Ying Yuan stood in front of the window with a deep gaze, as if he had seen through the direction of the entire situation.

"I have already said that the era of aristocratic family power is over."

“No matter how entrenched they are in a place, it cannot change this fact.”

"This purge will completely sever their ties with the imperial court."

"If they dare to resist in any way, let them disappear into history."

Chen Ping responded in a low voice: "My lord, you are wise. I will do my best to carry out your order."

Ying Yuan turned his gaze into the distance, his voice filled with endless determination and coldness.

"Over the years, the confrontation between the aristocratic families and the imperial court has dragged on for too long."

"They used local resources to build up their own power in an attempt to challenge the imperial power."

"But now, it's time to end it all."

Chen Ping stood aside, feeling secretly emotional.

He knew that Ying Yuan was not only eliminating the power of the aristocratic families, but also paving the way for the future of Daqin.

Ying Yuan wanted to build a country that was completely dominated by imperial power and would no longer allow local forces to have any chance to compete.

"Sir, this purge will change the entire landscape of Daqin."

"But I believe that under your leadership, Great Qin will become more stable and powerful."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes revealing great decisiveness and coldness.

"I, Ying Yuan, am destined to usher in a new era for Daqin."

"Whether it's the external threat from the Xiongnu, the internal hidden dangers of the aristocratic families, or the wavering forces in the court, they can't stop me from moving forward."

Chen Ping agreed with this and said in a low voice: "My lord, you are wise. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Ying Yuan slowly walked to the desk, picked up a memorial on the table, and glanced at it lightly.

This memorial came from an official in a southern county, and it recorded in detail the movements of the local aristocratic forces.

"The remaining members of the aristocratic families in the south have already secretly colluded with the Xiongnu, attempting to attack from both inside and outside."

"Their purpose is simple: they want to use external forces to regain their lost status."

Chen Ping frowned slightly, and then said: "Sir, the movements of the southern family are indeed worrying."

"I suggest that we immediately dispatch troops to the south to ensure that the remnants of these noble families cannot continue to expand their power."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly and said in a cold voice: "Send the order to mobilize the troops in the south to strengthen the monitoring of the family."

"I want to let them know that no matter how hidden they are, I can completely destroy them."

Chen Ping responded in a low voice: "I will arrange it immediately."

Ying Yuan's eyes were still cold, as if he had seen through the entire situation.

"The connection between these remnants of the aristocratic families and the Xiongnu is their last struggle."

"When I completely defeat the Xiongnu's attack, all the forces colluding with the Xiongnu will be destroyed together."

"No matter how powerful they once were, no matter how much wealth and military force they once possessed, they are now doomed to destruction."

After hearing this, Chen Ping deeply admired Ying Yuan's decision.

He knew that every step Ying Yuan took was a plan, and every step was for the future of Daqin.

"My lord, you are wise. I will do my best to ensure that this operation goes smoothly."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, and then said: "Go, remember, all actions must be carried out in secret."

"Don't let anyone notice."

"Wait until they think they are safe, then eradicate them completely."

Chen Ping bowed deeply and then stepped back.

Ying Yuan stood in front of the window, overlooking the entire Xianyang city, his eyes deep and firm.

The storm was coming, but he was ready for it.

Whether it was the Huns, the aristocratic families, or the opposition forces in the court.

It was late at night, but the wind in Xianyang was still biting and cold. In the study of the East Palace, Ying Yuan still hadn't left.

He sat at his desk with a serious look in his eyes, tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop, as if he was pondering some complicated situation.

"The Xiongnu's army is approaching the border, and the remaining members of the aristocratic families are ready to make a move."

"Neutralists in the court have been slow to express their views."

"The situation in Daqin has reached the most critical moment."

Ying Yuan whispered to himself, his eyes as deep as the sea.

Chen Ping stood beside him, quietly waiting for Ying Yuan's instructions.

"Sir, the Xiongnu's attack is imminent."

"If we don't mobilize more troops in time, I'm afraid the border will be under tremendous pressure."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, but he did not make a decision immediately.

"The Xiongnu are clearly well prepared this time. They have assembled 100,000 cavalrymen with the intention of quickly breaking through the border defenses."

"But I know they won't be that simple."

"The Xiongnu's attack is only one aspect. The real danger lies in their spies and accomplices in the court."

Chen Ping frowned slightly and whispered, "I have arranged for the Jinyiwei to secretly monitor those forces that have connections with the Xiongnu."

"However, these forces are extremely hidden, especially the neutral factions, who neither express their stance nor publicly support any party, making them very difficult to grasp."

Ying Yuan sneered, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"These so-called neutrals are nothing but fence-sitters."

"They thought they could protect themselves by keeping silent until the situation became clear, but their hesitation only puts them in greater danger."

"If they continue to waver, I don't mind taking action in advance and eliminating them completely."

Chen Ping nodded and said, "My lord, what you said is absolutely right."

"I am already closely monitoring their movements. If there are any unusual movements, take immediate action."

Ying Yuan slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night sky in the distance with cold eyes.

"The neutral faction and the remnants of the aristocratic families have always been uncertain factors in this situation."

"They tried to use the Xiongnu's attack to achieve their own goals."

"But they underestimated my determination."

Chen Ping listened quietly to Ying Yuan's decision, full of admiration for his decisive attitude.

"Sir, once these forces are exposed, should we immediately take action to clean them up?"

Ying Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "Now is not the time to take action."

"What I need is for them to reveal more of their cards."

"They thought the Xiongnu's attack would tie me down and make me exhausted."

"But I'll let them know that I'm in control of the situation."

Chen Ping nodded slightly and replied in a low voice: "Young Master is wise."

"I understand. We need to wait for the right opportunity. Once they think they have won, it will be time for us to strike back."

Ying Yuan's gaze remained stern, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.

"Now, it's not just the Xiongnu and the remnants of the aristocratic families."

"I also need to consider the opposition in the court. They have been watching from the dark. If I neglect the war on the border, they will take the opportunity to counterattack."

Chen Ping's expression became solemn.

"Your concerns are not without reason."

"I have noticed that the attitudes of some ministers in the court have begun to change subtly recently. They may be waiting for an opportunity."

Ying Yuan turned around, his eyes as sharp as a sword.

"These ministers are also a hidden danger in the court."

"They may not be directly involved in the family's conspiracy, but their wavering and hesitation will only make the situation more complicated."

"During this purge, I will not only deal with the Xiongnu and the aristocratic families, but I will also draw my sword against these unsteady court officials."

Chen Ping took a deep breath and whispered, "Sir, if we are not careful in this action, it may cause greater turmoil in the court."

"I am worried that if these courtiers feel threatened, they may unite and form a stronger opposition."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, with a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
