After coming out of Xianyang Prison, although Zhao Gao's treatment was still the same as before and he still had high power in the palace, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Because he clearly felt that His Majesty's attitude towards him was completely different now.
Just like today, His Majesty met with Meng Yi and Xu Yuwen in person, and even excluded him. This has never happened before.
Especially when he saw the two of them laughing so clearly, he suddenly felt nervous.
His power comes from Ying Zheng. If Ying Zheng alienates him, no matter how powerful he is, it will be a rootless tree and he will be killed at any time!
In order to protect himself, he now had to find a way.
It would be best to cover up the matter of corruption and prevent His Majesty from suspecting this matter.
Looking at what Li Si meant now, Zhao Gao could feel the changes in Li Si now, and he had obviously begun to distance himself from him.
In this case, he would have to find another partner.
Thinking of this, a person suddenly flashed in Zhao Gao's mind. Ever since His Majesty decided to hand over the book, this person has been complaining about illness in the house.
However, this person's prestige in the court was not inferior to Li Si's at all.
If you can win this person into your camp, that would be the best.
Late at night, wearing regular clothes, Zhao Gao stood at the door of the Prime Minister You's Mansion and said hello to the guard at the door.
"Trouble, please let me know. The second young master has something to do and wants to see the right prime minister."
This Right Prime Minister's Mansion is the residence of Feng Quji, the Right Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. During this period, he was not willing to see guests due to his illness.
Zhao Gao was also using Hu Hai's banner to see if Feng Quji would see him, and he was just trying his luck.
The guard glanced at Zhao Gao, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, nodded towards Zhao Gao and hurriedly ran towards the house.
After a moment, the guard immediately ran out of the house and made a respectful gesture to Zhao Gao.
"Sir, please, my master is waiting for you at home."
Zhao Gao recognized that this was the housekeeper of the Prime Minister Right's house. He nodded slightly and followed the housekeeper into the house without saying a word.
Arriving at the door of the study, the housekeeper said softly: "Sir, please go in. My master is waiting here."
After saying that, he pushed the door open.
After entering the door, Zhao Gao immediately saw Feng Quji sitting on the couch. His face was bloodless, and he looked like he had been ill for a long time.
He stepped forward and saluted Feng Ququ quickly, and said in a familiar tone: "I have met Prime Minister Feng."
Although Feng Quji was the right prime minister, his prestige in the court was not as good as Li Si's.
Fortunately, he still has some strength, and many people in the DPRK are related to him.
Therefore, Feng Quji didn't look at Zhao Gao too politely.
He just raised his eyelids slightly and held his head with his hands.
"sit down."
"Thank you, Prime Minister."
Zhao Gao was not polite. After speaking, he sat on the table not far from Feng Quji and looked at him with a more probing look.
Logically speaking, Feng Quji should be pretending to be ill, but now he really looks like he is terminally ill.
"I heard that the Prime Minister was seriously ill. I thought he was getting better. How did he end up like this? But he couldn't find a suitable doctor?"
Hearing this, Feng Quji coughed lightly, "Ahem, thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your kindness."
"I just feel cold occasionally. I will recover in a few days."
After hearing this, Zhao Gao said reluctantly: "It's better to pay more attention to this. There is a doctor in Xianyang Prison who has very good medical skills. You can go to this person and he will be cured as soon as possible."
At this time, when Feng Quji heard Ran Fang, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes, but it was not too obvious.
"I have heard of this Ran Fang, but he is just a little Confucian scholar, how can he be so powerful?"
"You went to Xianyang Prison a few days ago and saw it. Is it really as rumored? It does have great abilities."
Asking Ran Fang like this, Zhao Gao couldn't help but look at Feng Quji a few more times.
According to Feng Quji's power, he must have investigated Ran Fang's details a long time ago. Now he is asking just because he wants to know His Majesty's opinion from his own mouth.
Zhao Gao had no intention of hiding it. He chuckled and said, "Your Prime Minister's guess is right. This Ran Fang is indeed a god."
"The old slave also stayed in Xianyang Prison for a few days a few days ago. Many people often went to see him and brought him some food. It is obvious that he has an unusual relationship with him."
"Moreover... His Majesty also values Ran Fang very much. This person can guess His Majesty's thoughts even in prison..."
Feng Quji knew all these things. Although he was not in the court, it did not mean that he did not pay attention to what happened in the court.
He knew exactly who went to Xianyang Prison during this period.
Although he didn't know what he said, he could guess quite a bit about some things.
However, this man was able to guess His Majesty's thoughts, which surprised him.
"How did you say this?"
But before Zhao Gao could speak, Feng Quji shook his head again and said with a wry smile: "I've talked too much. I shouldn't have to worry about this matter."
Zhao Gao glanced at Feng Quji. This old fox obviously wanted to know, but he still pretended that nothing happened.
If he had to say it himself, he would pick it off cleanly.
He sneered and said: "This matter is of great importance. If it is spread, it will be a crime that will kill your head. I hope the right minister will not spread it."
Feng Quji didn't show any interest on his face, and didn't even raise his head, as if he didn't care about this matter.
He just showed a faint smile, glanced around with wary eyes, and then whispered: "Your Majesty... wants to establish Mr. Fu Su as the heir apparent."
Hearing this, Feng Quji showed a rare look of surprise on his face.
But it's not a big surprise, because he is Hu Hai's teacher, so he still knows Hu Hai's ability, and it is indeed not as good as Fusu in making people surrender.
But he is not very optimistic about establishing Fusu.
"This matter is of great importance, so we can't just talk nonsense!"
"This is the crime of genocide!"
Finally seeing the change on Feng Quji's face, Zhao Gao raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't take Feng Quji's threat to heart and said calmly: "This matter is so important, how dare you talk nonsense!"
"These words came from Ran Fang's mouth. His Majesty did not punish him, and many ministers in the court also knew about it at this time."
"Not only that, Ran Fang also asked His Majesty to dismiss those warlocks. Now he no longer makes elixirs. He is obsessed with practicing radio gymnastics all day long. Now Ran Fang's influence in the court is greater than yours."
"If this matter is allowed to develop and Fusu continues to study with Naran Fang, it will be very bad for the second young master."
