Although the Qin Empire was weakening, there were widespread complaints from the common people.

Though the Qin Empire had stood for over three hundred and sixty years, this already decrepit and aged empire was not yet at the point of collapse.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the court was corrupt, officials were greedy, and their own lives were difficult.

As long as they have food to eat, they would never revolt.

Last year's disaster relief efforts by the imperial court were quite effective. Since then, the natural disasters have subsided, and the people can still see some hope for survival.

Yet the social foundation of the Qin Empire had not rotted to the point where it needed to be torn down and rebuilt.

Therefore, rebelling at this time has no basis or possibility of success.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Xuanji meticulously wanted to push Li Yinhu to the front.

Although he was well-prepared, Li Yinhu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement when the moment finally arrived.

He asked, "What event marks the beginning"

Zhao Xuanji, Zhang Biwu, and Fu Yuzhi looked at each other and smiled. Fu Yuzhi spoke first: "We were still thinking about what reason would be most suitable. After all, there are too many places where the East Palace could be attacked, such as being arbitrary and tyrannical, cruel and murderous. But because there are too many reasons, we can't find the most suitable one."

"And today, King Wen's gift of a dead tiger to celebrate... has given us an excellent precedent."

Li Yinhu's expression changed, and he immediately said: "Does Your Lordship mean that the Crown Prince's wedding is the starting point"

Nodding, Fu Yuzhi said, "Throughout history, our prince is the first to openly ask civil and military officials for money. That's fine, after all, he's a prince, he can do whatever he wants. But the problem is, the national treasury is empty, the people are suffering, and he still finds ways to get money. What does he want to do"

Looking pensive, Li Yinhǔ, Fu Yuzhi said, "We don't need to worry about what he's up to. Despite our different allegiances, there's one thing I have to admit: the prince is indeed not extravagant or pleasure-seeking."

"Given the prince's character, it is highly unlikely he would indulge in extravagance and luxury. However, you and I know, as does the prince himself, but the world remains oblivious."

Speaking of which, Fu Yuzhi meaningfully patted Li Yinhu's arm and said, "The easiest to deceive are the people of this world."

Li Yinhu frowned, looking at Fu Yuzhi.

Not only him, but also Zhang Biwu and Zhao Xuanji behind him all looked like it was self-evident.

He suddenly felt that these old foxes' hearts were truly filthy.

"Our advantage isn't just in the capital. In terms of influence across the provinces, the East Palace has practically none. Over the years, we've supported and helped countless officials who now hold high positions throughout the land. The voices of the people, how they speak of us, ultimately depends on what we choose to let them say."

Li Yinhu looked at Zhao Xuanji and couldn't help asking, "Elder Ge Lao, if such means had been used earlier, the situation wouldn't have gotten to this point, right"

Zhao Xuanji seemed to have known Li Yinhu would have this question long ago. He said calmly, "What kind of person is the Crown Prince"

Upon hearing this question, Li Yinhǔ was taken aback for a moment before instinctively replying, "Deep in the city, ruthless in his actions, heavy in thought, he could be considered a prodigy born to rule the halls of power."

Nodding, Zhao Xuanji said: "Therefore, when dealing with such people, if you don't have the certainty to kill them in one strike, don't do anything. Let him be strong as he pleases. Wait until you seize the opportunity for a fatal blow, and then let him have no chance to turn things around." then extend its coverage to prefectures, counties. It will be backed by the imperial court's credit, but the daily management, staff, and all other aspects will be handled by the Liu family."Of the t...
