Feng Quji sat up straight, looked at Zhao Gao with slightly narrowed eyes, and said nothing.
After a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
"I don't have the guts to talk about the crown prince's affairs unreasonably!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao showed no special expression on his face and did not take Feng Quji's words to heart at all.
After Feng Quji finished speaking, he chuckled and shook his head: "Your Majesty's words are serious. The Second Young Master is about to go to Sishui County to provide disaster relief. If this trip goes well, then there will be a place for the Second Young Master in this court in the future."
"The Right Chancellor is the Second Young Master's teacher. He wouldn't think about the Second Young Master being oppressed in the future, would he?"
"Besides, Mr. Fusu is a Confucian scholar. If he ascends to the grand ceremony in the future, will Confucian scholars tolerate you and me?"
I have to say that these words touched Feng Quji's heart.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Gao would have such great ambitions. This was the first time he showed it.
Normally, he always looks kind, but it's hard for people to see what's going on in his heart.
If he says this this time, it means that his plan must be quite big.
Thinking about it, Feng Quji laughed "hahaha", and the beard on his face trembled.
"Mr. Zhao, you are very rich in the Chen family. I didn't expect that what you are asking for is the position of crown prince!"
"It's just you, do you think this can be done?"
Zhao Gao didn't feel guilty at all about being exposed. He was even a little proud, with a very relaxed expression on his face.
"The right Prime Minister said something serious, but it's just for the Qin Dynasty."
"As a little servant like me, it is naturally impossible for me to do these things, but with the right minister behind me planning for the Second Young Master, it is completely possible."
Before Feng Quji could speak, Zhao Gao continued: "Your right minister, don't rush to refute, just listen to what I have to say."
"Imagine that the right prime minister was the one who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. What an honor it was?"
"But since Li Si became the prime minister, he has become the head of the officials, and your position has been reduced again and again. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to claim illness and not go to court, right?"
"I think the powerful right-hand minister in this court also understands that if you allow this matter to continue to develop, sooner or later there will be no place for the Feng family in this court, and they may even withdraw from the Great Qin court."
"But the Second Young Master is different. You are the Second Young Master's teacher. If the Second Young Master becomes the crown prince in the future, your status will naturally rise. Even Li Si, what can he compare with you?"
These words are exactly the problems Feng Quji is encountering now.
But now that Zhao Gao said it, he was not happy. Instead, he showed a trace of solemnity on his face, as if he was worried that this matter would really become true.
At this moment, he had to say that he had underestimated Zhao Gao.
"You can see it clearly and calculate it clearly, and you have included me in it."
"If I agree, what are you going to ask me to do?"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao knew that Feng Quji had compromised, and he would be a grasshopper on a rope with him from now on.
"Haha, what did the Right Prime Minister say? He just wanted the Right Prime Minister to do the Second Young Master a favor."
"The right minister must also know that your majesty wants to investigate the corruption matter. A lot of money went into the pocket of the second young master. If your majesty finds out, how can the second young master still gain a foothold in the government?"
Feng Quji's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect Hu Hai to be so bold.
He looked at Zhao Gao with a look of scrutiny. No matter how you looked at it, it was Zhao Gao's idea.
"You go back, I'll wait until I think about this matter."
Zhao Gao nodded, not worried at all that Feng Quji would disagree.
"That's what it should be. That slave will go back first."
After saying that, he stood up and quickly cupped his hands towards Feng Qu, and then slowly exited the room.
After he left, Feng Quji shouted into the empty room: "Here comes someone!"
Immediately, a guard opened the door and walked in from the outside. He stood respectfully at the door, waiting for his orders.
"Go and investigate the Xianyang Prison and the corruption case in Sishui County."
"If you have any clues, report them immediately!"
"Here!" After saying that, the guard left, as if he had never appeared.
…
The east gate of Xianyang City.
All the civil and military officials gathered here, looking at the majestic Hu Hai and the humble Xu Yuwen. Although they all had smiles on their faces, they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
As the chief officer of this disaster relief, Hu Hai was sitting in the carriage with an undisguised smile in his eyes.
"Thank you all for sending me. This time I go to Surabaya County, I will definitely live up to your expectations and we will be able to completely solve the flood problem."
This was what Zhao Gao specially told him before leaving last night, because he wanted to leave a good impression on the officials before leaving.
He was disdainful at first, but thinking of his mission, he ruined Zhao Gao's face.
Seeing that he was so obedient, Zhao Gao stood in the crowd with a happy smile on his face, knowing that Hu Hai was obedient.
"This old slave is following His Majesty's order to personally see the Second Young Master and Lord Xu off."
"I hope you two will take this seriously and remember to completely solve the flood problem!"
The two of them said at the same time, "Here!"
"Thank you all ministers! I will not return to the court until the flood is eliminated!"
After Xu Yuwen finished speaking, he got on his horse and left Xianyang City with a group of people.
Looking at what was covered with cloth on the carriage behind, a trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes, "Could this be Ran Fang's secret?"
After they went far away, the civil and military officials gradually dispersed.
Zhao Gao looked at their retreating figures, turned around and left here.
However, he did not return to the palace, but went to Xianyang Prison.
The candidate for the Xianyang Order has not been decided yet, which gives him a signal. If he operates correctly, the Xianyang Order can still fall into his hands.
Therefore, this time he came to see Ran Fang, and secondly, he wanted to find out the situation and see if there was any chaos in the past few days.
If there was chaos, he could find someone to take over.
At this time in Xianyang Prison, Ran Fang looked at the wooden box and a piece of cloth in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Fusu took the cloth from Ran Fang's hand and saw that it read, "I heard that Mr. Ran Fang is a god, and I admire him very much. I came here to ask Sir for advice."
The inscription below is a disciple of Mohism, without signature.
He couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that he is not an upright person."
As he spoke, he touched the thing in his hand and continued: "It looks like it is made of silk, which shows that he is a rich man."
"The Mo family has been defeated for a long time. How can they afford such expensive silk? Maybe someone is provoking sir in the name of the Mo family?"
After saying that, he turned his attention to the box on the table. He picked it up and looked around, but he didn't see anything interesting about it.
"What is this?"
While the two were talking, Zhao Gao walked in from outside and his eyes fell on Ran Fang.
He saluted the two of them respectfully and said, "I have met you, Mr. Su."
Fusu immediately became wary of the sudden appearance of Zhao Gao. He looked at the silk and immediately became suspicious.
Could it be that this silk was given by him?
Thinking of this, he asked in a stiff tone: "Why are you here?"
