Chapter 26 Doubt Zhao Gao
Ying Zheng put down the carving knife in his hand and said solemnly: "This person must be caught. In addition, you leave this matter to your confidants. Remember not to let anyone else know about it, especially Zhao Gao."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han's expression suddenly became very solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you are doubting Zhao Gao. Do you want me to be a minor minister..."
Zhang Han did not say the words, but made a beheading gesture.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "No, Zhao Gao has followed me since I was a hostage in the Zhao State. If it weren't for Zhao Gao at that time, I might have died in the Zhao State.
When I returned to Da Qin, Zhao Gao stayed with me. When I was ousted from power by Lu Buwei, it was thanks to Zhao Gao who kept cheering me up. It can be said that I cannot achieve such achievements without Zhao Gao's achievements. "
Zhang Han said: "Your Majesty has achieved such an achievement because of your majesty's wisdom and prowess and destiny. In addition, the sixth king has accumulated strong capital for your majesty. In the end, your majesty was able to unify the six countries. It has nothing to do with Zhao Gao.
Even if it does happen, it is His Majesty's destiny. "
"Forget it, you don't understand this matter. Just go down and do your work."
"promise."
Zhang Han said nothing and left directly.
Zhang Han understood Ying Zheng's mood very well at this moment. The foundation of the Sixth Generation of Qin Dynasty, coupled with Ying Zheng's unification of the six countries, created a great achievement of the century.
However, in less than three years, he was defeated by Qin II. The Qin Dynasty was not only subjugated, but all his children were killed, achieving the real end of the country and the annihilation of the species.
The murderer is his son, among whom Zhao Gao, who has always been with him, and whom he trusts most, may be an accomplice.
How ironic this is for the First Emperor who unified the six kingdoms.
Comparing his feelings, Zhang Han thought that after knowing this, he would immediately ask Qin An who the second Qin was, and then directly kill the second Qin and all his accomplices who had brought disaster to the country and the people.
After Zhang Han left the hall, he found his confidant and asked him to wait outside Fusu Mansion to see who was going to notify him, and then follow the informant to arrest the person behind the scenes.
After arranging everything, Zhang Han went to chase Zhao Gao.
After Zhao Gao left the palace, he immediately sent people to Hu Hai's house, and then led a forbidden army to the tavern.
There were not a hundred but eighty taverns in Xianyang City. However, Zhao Gao quickly led the imperial army to one of the taverns, and he did not wait for Zhang Han at all.
When Zhang Han arrived, Zhao Gao had already carried out the arrest and arrested everyone in the tavern, including the waiters in the tavern.
"Why are you arresting me? My father is a Dianke, Du Qing." A young man said strugglingly.
"My father is Wang Qing, the admonishing doctor."
"My father is Dr. Li Xiang."
"My father is..."
There were many young people around him, but everyone took this young man as the leader. When the young man spoke, other young people spoke one after another.
Zhao Gao sneered and said: "So what? I was ordered by Your Majesty to arrest Lu Sheng who insulted Your Majesty and those who heard Lu Sheng insult Your Majesty."
"What are you talking about? I have never heard a Confucian scholar scold His Majesty. Don't try to frame me." The young man said angrily.
"Have you heard of it? I will naturally check it out and take everyone away now." Zhao Gao said in a deep voice.
The young people were immediately angry, but Ying Zheng's name and the cold weapons of the Forbidden Army made them dare not speak out.
A group of second-generation officials did not dare to say anything, and the Confucian scholars, clerks and others even more did not dare to say anything.
"It's unjust, my lord, it's unjust."
"It's unjust."
"..."
For a moment, the entire tavern was filled with cries of injustice.
When Zhang Han arrived, he only saw a group of people being pressed out of the tavern by the Imperial Army.
He immediately walked into the tavern, found Zhao Gao, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhao, you are so quick. You have already arrested the person before I even found out about the restaurant. I admire you."
Zhao Gao's expression changed and he smiled: "Thanks to my servant, he told me."
"I see."
…
At the eldest son Fusu's house.
Fusu was already planning to take a rest when someone suddenly reported him.
"Young Master, eighteen. Young Master wants to see you."
"Eighteenth brother? You're looking for me so late. I don't know what's going on. Please invite me quickly." Fusu muttered a few words to himself.
"promise."
After a while, the servants took Hu Hai to see Fusu.
"I've met my brother," Hu Hai said.
Fusu smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, eighteenth brother. Why do you want to find me so late?"
Hu Hai said: "Brother is in trouble. My father has arrested many Confucian scholars."
"What's going on?" Fusu asked.
Hu Hai immediately told Lu Sheng about insulting Ying Zheng.
Hearing this, Fusu immediately said: "This happened, I will go find my father now. Thank you eighteenth brother for telling me. I won't keep you here as a brother."
"Okay." Hu Hai responded, "But brother, can you please not tell my father? It was my younger brother who told my brother about this matter."
Fusu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't tell. I will only tell my father. This is what a Confucian scholar told me."
…
In Xianyang Palace, Zhang Han and Zhao Gao came back to resume their duties.
"How many people have been arrested?" Ying Zheng asked.
"A total of one hundred and thirty people." Zhao Gao replied, "It's just that the villain hasn't interrogated those people yet."
Zhang Han bowed his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, why not leave this matter to the ministers?"
"No, let Zhao Gao do it." Ying Zheng said, "You are the leader of my Black Dragon Guard, and your duty is to protect me. Leave other matters to Zhao Gao."
"No." Zhang Han responded.
Zhao Gao immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the villain will definitely interrogate Lu Sheng and those who heard Lu Sheng insult your Majesty."
"Well, you have never let me down before, and you won't let me down this time." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"promise."
"Go ahead. Get it out to me as soon as possible."
"promise."
After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng asked, "Has anyone been to Fusu's place?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, I still don't know." Zhang Han replied.
"Go and investigate quickly." Ying Zheng said.
"promise."
Zhang Han immediately left the palace to look for his confidants.
But he saw Fusu coming before he left the palace.
"Eldest Young Master, why do you want to see your Majesty so late?" Zhang Han asked.
"General Zhang Han, do you know that a Confucian scholar insulted my father?"
"I know." Zhang Han said.
Then the whole story was told, but Ying Zheng's suspicion and Qin An's matter were not revealed.
"I see. I'm going to find my father now and ask him to hand over the interrogation to me," Fusu said.
Let Zhao Gao interrogate, who knows how many people will be wrongly accused.
Seeing that Fusu was about to leave, Zhang Han immediately asked: "How did the eldest son know about this? It's so late, the eldest son should have rested."
There is a curfew at night, and anyone walking at night will be arrested, except for a few individuals.
Fusu replied: "I was informed by a Confucian scholar, General Zhang, are you interrogating Fusu? Or do you think Fusu is the Confucian scholar who insulted my father?"
"The humble minister dare not, please calm down the eldest son." Zhang Han immediately bowed.
"Humph." Fusu didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Han anymore, so as not to reveal his flaws.
Zhang Han didn't dare to go too far when he saw this. Anyway, he sent people to Fusu Mansion to monitor. No matter who went to Fusu Mansion, he would know immediately.
Fusu came to Ying Zheng.
"My son, I will meet my father."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Are you asking for mercy to insult my Confucian scholar?"
Fusu was shocked, and immediately said: "My father is very aware of everything, and I admire him. I really came to intercede for the sake of the Confucian scholars."
"Humph, before you plead for mercy, I asked you. What do you think when they scold me? Do you think I deserve the scolding?" Ying Zheng asked.
Fu Su's expression tightened and he said: "Father is very aware of the situation and has realized that the current laws of the Qin Dynasty are too strict, so the people are reviling the emperor. This is the luck of the Qin Dynasty."
