"Gane."
"I'm here."
The First Emperor threw away the memorial he had not finished reading and said bitterly: "Let that Shuzi give me an explanation!"
"only."
After Gai Nie left, Zhao Gao, who was missing an ear, stepped forward with a humble expression.
We present a nourishing medicinal soup made by imperial physician Ling Xia Wujue, which contains rare medicinal materials such as ginseng, velvet antler, and Ganoderma lucidum.
The First Emperor took it with a gloomy face and took a few sips with a silver spoon.
He lowered his eyes and saw the shining silver spoon in his hand, and dropped the spoon on the ground.
The silver spoon rolled on the ground several times, making a tinkling sound.
"Replace it with a wooden spoon. From now on, wooden spoons will be used in the palace."
"His Majesty."
Zhao Gao knelt on his knees, crossed his hands on the ground, with the backs of his hands facing up, and knocked his head on his hands.
"Silver changes color when exposed to poison. Eating with a silver spoon can protect your majesty's safety. I hope your majesty will take care of your holy body and don't act out of emotion."
The First Emperor stared at Zhao Gao's missing ear and said angrily: "How can you still speak for that Shuzi when he knocked off one of your ears?"
More than ten years ago, the spoons in Xianyang Palace were all made of wood.
This is not because Qin Jun takes the lead in being frugal, but because wooden tableware is insulated compared to metal tableware, is more resistant to falling than ceramic tableware, and smells more fragrant than mud and stone tableware.
However, as Young Master Cheng became more and more famous, he was recognized throughout the court, inside and outside the palace for his ability to fulfill the ambitions of Qin's ancestors to unify the world, and to create a great situation unprecedented in ancient and modern times. This was Qin's good fortune and the Ying family's blessing. .
Although he has no official position and no title, his voice in the Qin State is second only to the King of Qin. Most of the time, the King of Qin has to ask questions about his strategy with a shy face.
Prince Cheng, who was privately called the Little King of Qin by several important officials in the court, ordered that all the tableware in the palace be changed from wood to silver.
To this day, the First Emperor of Xianyang Palace has the final say. Kuaizi and spoons are still made of silver.
"Gao Fei speaks for the Lord of Chang'an, but is loyal to His Majesty's ears. Please take care of His Majesty's holy body."
Zhao Gao lay on the ground, lowering his head and speaking with naturalness and sincerity.
The First Emperor's eyes kept flickering, as if he wanted to see through the heart of the young master Zhao who had known him since childhood and protected him countless times. Finally, his eyes were fixed on Zhao Gao's missing ear.
"Zhao Gao."
"I'm here."
"Will you be the second Guo Kaihu?"
Winter~
Zhao Gao moved his hands away and hit his head heavily on the hard ground.
The dull sound was accompanied by a bruised forehead and splashes of blood.
Zhao Gao suffered a bloody head injury!
"His Majesty once said that the anger of an ordinary man can only be achieved by using his head to snatch the ears of the earth. A tall man can only be brave by the courage of an ordinary man."
The red blood line was like a thin red rope, winding and flowing.
The First Emperor picked up the soup bowl, held it to his mouth with both hands and slurped it.
"You and I have known each other since childhood, and you have saved me in times of crisis many times. I don't want to kill you unless it is absolutely necessary."
Zixie Zixie~
The First Emperor drank as he talked, and a small bowl of medicinal soup fell into his belly.
"But you are forcing me to kill you."
Pacha~
The porcelain bowl hit Zhao Gaotian within three inches of the spiritual cap. The broken porcelain slices cut off strands of black hair and stained the red threads.
With his amazing hearing power, Zhao Gao could hear the sparse sounds of broken porcelain slag jumping on the ground.
The porcelain bowl shattered between his feet and almost smashed his head.
Zhao Gao could hide, but he didn't. He deliberately controlled his body's dodge muscle instinct, like a heavy stone statue standing on the ground, not moving at all.
“The soup is very good.”
The First Emperor stood up and walked slowly.
A palace maid lowered her head and handed over a white handkerchief made of Sichuan brocade that exuded fragrance.
The First Emperor took it and held it in his hand, but wiped the soup stains from the corners of his mouth with his long sleeves.
The First Emperor took Zhao Gao's forearm, which was a little sore and numb from the strain of pressing hard on the ground, and personally pulled Zhao Gao up.
The other hand grabbed the white, patternless and undecorated brocade handkerchief handed over by the palace maid, and wiped away the blood on Zhao Gao's forehead.
"I dare not bother Your Majesty, Gao Zilai, Gao Zilai." Zhao Gaocheng was frightened.
The First Emperor did not argue with Zhao Gao, but threw the handkerchief to Zhao Gao and asked Zhao Gao to wipe it himself.
He stepped on a large piece of porcelain with his toes and dragged it hard. The hard porcelain piece rubbed against the equally hard ground, and a sharp sound that was unacceptable to ordinary people came from the two.
The First Emperor snorted coldly and said: "This porcelain bowl is you Zhao Gao. I have already killed you once. Don't be a treacherous minister like Guo Kai, and don't force me to kill you twice."
"Gao is only a sycophant, not a treacherous minister."
The sycophant flatters the country, and the treacherous minister misuses the power of the country.
Zhao Gao looked flattering and carefully stuffed the handkerchief handed over by the First Emperor into the lapel of his clothes.
Zhao Gao cleaned up the broken pieces of porcelain that the First Emperor had smashed, wrapped them in cloth, and put them in his arms.
When the First Emperor saw this, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Is this also in my arms? You are not afraid of being stabbed."
"This bowl represents Gao's death. It's too late for Gao Neng to be grateful, so how can he be afraid of being hurt by him." Zhao Gao bowed his hands and said with a humble face: "Gao will bear in mind His Majesty's holy grace."
"Ha." The First Emperor laughed, pointed at Zhao Gao and cursed: "You are really a sycophant."
"If I can make His Majesty smile, I will be a sycophant, and I will be willing to do so."
The First Emperor looked at Zhao Gao's smiling face that seemed to come from the heart, and could no longer utter the words he had accumulated.
To say how much he believed in Zhao Gao, he actually didn't. He was just soft-hearted.
Since the abandoned son of the Zhao Kingdom has grown up to be the lord of the world, his title has changed from the insulting Zhao Zheng to king, and then to your majesty.
The First Emperor had met too many people in this wonderful life, including friends and confidants whom he thought we would share life and death with, as well as enemies and enemies whom he had killed thousands of times in his dreams...
But as time goes by, those people gradually disappear.
Prince Dan of Yan, who had been held hostage in the State of Zhao with the First Emperor, sent assassins to assassinate him, and was beheaded by his father, King Yan, and handed over to the First Emperor.
King Yan of Zhao, who was once arrogant and arrogant and humiliated him in every possible way in the Zhao Kingdom, died of illness on the throne in the ninth year of his reign. If you can live a few more years, you can see the Qin army conquer Handan City.
Maybe it's because he has fulfilled his ambition to unify the world, or maybe he's getting older.
In the past, if Zhao Gao dared to tip off the news in front of the First Emperor, his head would have been chopped off long ago, even if it was to tip off the First Emperor's mother.
But now, when the First Emperor looked at the blood oozing out from the forehead of Zhao Gao's humble face, he couldn't even bear to say harsh words...
Two hours later, Gai Daxia, who went to find Ying Chengyu to give an explanation, came back.
Looking at Zhao Gao, whose mental outlook was completely different from before he left, he secretly wondered if this licking dog had eaten bee poop?
"What did Shuzi say?"
The First Emperor's mood had calmed down a lot, and he felt calm when he asked this question.
Gai Nie's face was expressionless.
"Your Majesty, please leave it alone."
Mr. Zhao Gao has been hit by Gai Nie's abnormal behavior and has become accustomed to it.
At that moment, he didn't show any expression at all, he just complained in his heart that the plague god had offended His Majesty again.
The First Emperor thought he knew Ge Nie very well, and said in a cold voice with a gloomy face: "Is this what that Shuzi said?"
Gai Daxia replied without emotion: "No, it was Nie who said it."
The First Emperor broke through in an instant, picked up a roll of bamboo slips and smashed it on Gai Nie's body, shouting as he did so.
"You said that? How dare you talk to me like this? Am I too tolerant of you?"
Zhao Gao frowned, wondering why Ge Nie was so rebellious and why the First Emperor didn't punish him.
What does it mean to be scolded? Not even a royal stick was touched.
It's hard to see the expression on Gai Nie's face, but after being followed by Gai Nie for a long time, the First Emperor could more or less guess what Gai Nie was thinking. Does that seem to be helplessness, plus watching the show?
Gai Nie, who had dodged all the bamboo slips, said calmly: "Chang'an Jun said: 'Doesn't he want me to be the king? I will give him a lot of responsibility for being the king!'"
Zhao Gao suddenly realized.
This plague god actually showed mercy to His Majesty this time, and he was wrongly blamed.
No, Gao was affected by this plague!
Lord Chang'an's words should not have been taken down on the spot to prepare His Majesty for trial. How could such rebellious words be brought back?
The First Emperor was furious and immediately took off his noble and luxurious crown robes embroidered with black birds, rolled them up twice and threw them to Ge Nie.
Wearing only obscene clothes, he shouted: "Send it to that Shuzi! Send it to that Shuzi!"
What was thrown at this time was the imperial robe that symbolized the highest power of the Great Qin Empire. Ge Nie did not hide and took it in his hand.
"Brother Emperor, what are you afraid of? When you wanted to gather the soldiers of the world to cast twelve golden men, and recruit the world's rich and powerful to Xianyang, weren't you afraid of chaos in the world?
"Princes and generals, would you rather care about the spread of paper than the spread of paper after eight words have been publicized? I have announced the method of making paper to all parts of the world in the name of Zhang Liang.
"The flood disaster inundated Kyushu, but Gun could not prevent it even though he kept the soil for nine days with a sacred object that could continue to grow. His son Dayu used manpower to dig canals to release the flood and divert the water, and the flood was stopped. This shows that blocking is not as good as dredging.
"The people are not weapons, they are human beings, and we cannot blindly suppress them. The situation in Han Dynasty has been very clear, and the people's first priority is survival. As long as Da Qin gives them a way to survive, they will not rebel."
Ge Nie's words were mediocre, but the content was so sonorous and powerful that the First Emperor's anger could not be calmed down for a long time.
The First Emperor, who conquered the world with the hegemony of Legalism, believed that what Ying Chengyu said was deviant and deviant.
The First Emperor only heard four words in this long passage - he couldn't stop it.
Unless the First Emperor issued another ban, anyone in the world who hid paper would be killed, and anyone who dared to make paper would be killed.
But this is an excuse for those remnants of the six countries to gather together to rebel and win people's hearts. The reason is that this is to support the enemy.
And if it is just a simple ban and the punishment is not that severe, then this order will be in vain outside Guanzhong.
The only one who could implement every order of the First Emperor to the end was Guanzhong shrouded in Qin law.
…
Another few days passed.
After Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze came out of Xianyang Prison, he hid in his Gangcheng Jun's mansion and never left the door.
But it doesn't matter. The effect pursued by the family has been achieved. Cai Ze, the leader of the new family, has been established. This is all they need.
No one in the family took Cai Ze's words to heart when he said that he had reached an agreement with Ying Chengxuan and that as long as there was no trouble within ten days, Ying Chengxuan would release Gan Luo on time.
No one thought that a Gou man who was good at preserving himself in troubled times could persuade the unruly and unruly Ying Cheng Gou.
The aristocratic families all agreed that this was just Zhuzi's trick to delay time.
Bai family.
The heads of the three great aristocratic families, Bai Fei, Meng Jiakun and Xishu, are gathered here.
Soak in a warm pool that releases steam, and enjoy the service of dozens of beautiful maids around you.
They were not wearing anything, but the maids by the warm spring pool were wearing some clothes.
The maids' clothes range from black to pure white, from grass green to sky blue.
But each of these various clothes is as thin as cicada wings, and even the thinnest between the breasts cannot be blocked by a layer of gauze, so you can count them clearly.
There was a girl with a childish look, her yellow hair hanging down, her petite body standing in the warm pool, the water up to her neck. Holding a plate filled with fine wine high next to Meng Jiakun, making it a beauty utensil.
There is also a beautiful woman with a tall and plump figure, nesting in the warm pool, with the long and warm water caressing her body, and the three of them are using their hands and feet to force themselves to smile.
There are also three twin beauties, whose faces are like frost, and their faces can freeze even during the hot summer. Water droplets sliding down their faces are like melting ice crystals. This beauty is rare to see on the water, but it is buried underwater.
…
The extravagance here is far greater than that of the only entertainment place in Xianyang, but this scene is difficult for ordinary people to see.
"Brother Meng, Brother Xi."
Bai Fei casually patted the cheek of the beauty who was busy moving up and down while holding her breath, letting the beauty take a breather.
Meng Jiakun and Bai Shu opened their eyes and looked sideways.
Bai Fei said with a smile: "My three families can enjoy themselves alone, which is not as good as the happiness of everyone in Xianyang. How about building a balcony?"
