Li Shui cursed all the way, and when he got off the bus at the entrance of the palace, he saw Wu Jiao waiting there. 〖∈八〖∈八〖∈Read〖∈Book,.2∞3.↓o
Wu Jiao said to Li Shui: "Sir, here is a secret letter from you."
Li Shui was a little puzzled: "How come my secret message ended up with you?"
Wujiao laughed dryly: "The person who sent the message first went to Shangjun's courtyard and couldn't find the Lord, so he looked for me."
This letter was just sent. Li Shui opened it on the spot and read each word with a frown.
Although I have been in Daqin for a while and I basically know the characters, it is really difficult to read this small seal script letter. More importantly, the writing skills of the writers were not high, and they often contained a lot of white characters. Li Shui almost vomited blood when he read the letters.
When he half-guessed and finally understood the content of the letter, he heard someone next to him chuckle: "You must have worked hard to banish the immortal. I am going to meet His Majesty, and I am still learning to read."
Li Shui put the letter away and found Li Si looking at him with a smile on his face.
Li Shui asked in confusion: "Why did you know that I was going to meet the driver?"
Li Si said: "That's why I want to see the driver. Magistrate Pei has issued another memorial. I have already heard the news."
Li Shui sighed: "This County Magistrate Pei really doesn't make people worry."
Li Si shook his head and said seriously: "Otherwise, I think Magistrate Pei is quite courageous."
Li Shui sneered.
Li Si has been holding back his bad intentions recently and wants to mess with him. How could Li Shui not know? But today he was confident of reversing the passive situation.
Li Shui entered the palace directly without entangled with Li Si too much.
When he arrived at Ying Zheng's study, he found that several important officials in the court had already arrived.
Ying Zheng didn't say much, but asked a young eunuch to show Magistrate Pei's letter to everyone.
After everyone had finished reading, Ying Zheng turned his attention to Li Shui: "What did you say?"
Li Shuiqian laughed: "Your Majesty, it seems that it has nothing to do with me at this time."
Li Si couldn't bear it anymore and said from the side: "Exiled immortal, don't rush to shirk your guilt. How come this matter has nothing to do with you? A few days ago, you said that Xiang Yu was in your house and that there were no rebels in Peixian County. Now this Didn’t the rebels show up?"
Li Shui said: "How can you be sure that this group of rebels is Xiang Yu?"
Li Si glared: "How can you be sure that this group of rebels is not Xiang Yu?"
Li Shui said: "Xiang Yu is in my house, so I can be sure that there is someone else in Peixian County."
Li Si: "..."
He has been knocked unconscious.
Li Xin looked at Li Shui in amazement and almost started to applaud.
Li Si looked at Wang Wan and Chun Yuyue blankly, asking for help.
Wang Wan cleared her throat and stood up to help her allies.
He looked at Li Shui with a smile: "Exiled Immortal, how can you be sure that the person in your house is the real Xiang Yu?"
Li Shui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This matter is extremely confidential. No one else is allowed to eavesdrop except His Majesty."
Wang Wan looked at Ying Zheng helplessly.
Ying Zheng said to Li Shui calmly: "Huai Guzi, it's okay to just say it. If the important officials in the court were also rebels, then the world would have been in chaos."
Li Shui coughed dryly: "I hope that the important ministers here will swear that if anyone leaks this matter, his ancestors will not be able to rest in peace."
Chunyu Yue said unhappily: "Exiled Immortal, are you doubting my character?"
Several other people were also a little unhappy. After all, swearing by ancestors was disrespectful to their ancestors. 】eight】eight】reading】books,.2√3.￠o
Zhao Teng asked Li Xin in a low voice: "General Li, aren't you angry when he asks you to swear by your ancestors? No matter how good the relationship is, you can't let him insult you, right?"
Li Xin said lightly: "I don't have to swear, I know Brother Huai's secret."
Zhao Teng: "..."
These two are really close friends.
Li Shui took a step back and said: "That's all, if you don't swear, you won't swear. But in the future, if this matter is leaked, it will be what the adults sitting here said. When the time comes, you will be found, don't blame me for being merciless. .”
Chunyu Yue said with a gloomy face: "Don't worry about banishing the immortal, I will never talk nonsense."
Li Shui nodded: "Actually, I placed a spy next to Xiang Yu. This spy has completely gained Xiang Yu's trust. Both parties are close friends. Therefore, I know Xiang Yu's identity."
Wang Wan said: "Could it be that Xiang Yu, or the so-called Liu Ji, is deliberately bragging and using Xiang Yu's name to promote himself?"
Li Shui said: "This is impossible, because Xiang Yu's father also has my detailed work. Xiang Yu's father's name is Xiang Chao. This man once met Xiang Yu. I know everything they said."
courtier:"……"
Ying Zheng also looked at Li Shui with some surprise: "So, are there other rebels in Xianyang City?"
Li Shuigan laughed: "Your Majesty, don't be alarmed. These rebels are all under my control."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "When you go back, write a detailed list and give it to me."
Li Shui coughed dryly: "Yes... I have already written the list, but I haven't had time to present it to His Majesty yet..."
Ying Zheng nodded and didn't care about Li Shui's matters.
Li Shui said: "In this case, the evidence is conclusive. The traitor of Magistrate Pei has nothing to do with Xiang Yu of Shangjun Courtyard. Therefore, I have never lied. Lord Tingwei, you don't need to hold me back." .”
Li Si thought for a while and said, "It's still wrong. At first, there were about ten people in Pei County who called themselves Xiang Yu and they looted outside the city. After only a day or two, there were five or six hundred people who looted. They moved into the same household. In my opinion, these five hundred rebels are probably the same group as the dozen or so people before."
Li Shui shook his head: "No. The first ten or so people were a group of thieves, just cheating under the banner of Xiang Yu. The five hundred people behind were Wang Heng's people. They were Wang Jian's grandson."
Li Si's eyes widened: "Why are you so sure about banishing the immortal? What evidence do you have?"
Li Shui smiled shyly: "It's a coincidence that Wang Heng also has my fine work beside him."
courtier:"……"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh: "Huaiguzi is quite interesting."
Li Shuigan said with a smile: "The name of this spy is Wang Bing. He was originally a servant in the Wang family's house. I sent him to the Chu region to get close to Wang Heng and gain Wang Heng's trust."
"Wang Bing has been with Wang Heng for some time. However, Wang Heng restrained his soldiers very strictly, and Wang Bing never had a chance to deliver the news."
"It wasn't until recently that Wang Heng ordered him to make friends with other rebels that he found an opportunity and sent me this letter."
Having said this, Li Shui handed the letter he had just received into Ying Zheng's hands.
Later, Li Shui said to the courtiers: "In this letter. Wang Bing said that Wang Heng met a group of rebels in Peixian County a few days ago. There were about ten people, who claimed to be Xiang Yu. These ten people had been in Pei County. A wealthy household was robbed outside the county town, which attracted Wang Heng’s attention.”
"Therefore, these ten people should be the rebels mentioned in Magistrate Pei's first letter."
"Subsequently, Wang Heng sent Wang Bing to contact this group of rebels. Wang Bing took the risk and found these ten people. According to him, these ten people, judging from their accents, were all from Peixian County, and they were from Pei County. The descendants of the Xiang family in Kuaiji and Wu counties are completely different."
"And these ten or so people have rough skin and unkempt appearance. They look like plowmen, not like pampered rebels. Moreover, when Wang Bing came into contact with these people, he didn't even meet the fake Xiang Yu. The person who came into contact with him was a man who claimed to be Xiang Yu’s sworn brother.”
"These ten or so people asked Wang Heng to provide some money and food. So Wang Heng chose to lead five hundred people to rob the people. Coincidentally, they robbed the same household."
After Li Shui finished speaking, everyone fell silent. After all, Li Shui explained everything clearly, and there was really nothing to refute.
Ying Zheng struggled to read Wang Bing's letter, and after Li Shui finished explaining, he could barely understand the letter.
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Shui: "Huai Guzi almost put down the Wang family's rebellion with his own efforts. He has made outstanding contributions."
Li Shui quickly said modestly: "I just came up with a few ideas. The key is your Majesty's wise decision-making and General Li Xin's military exploits. And... the stupidity of the rebels."
Ying Zheng smiled.
Then he said: "This Wang Heng must be eliminated, otherwise he will be in trouble for a long time. Now there is a spy around him, and his hiding place has been determined. I plan to send troops to destroy him."
Li Si said: "Wang Heng only has 500 people. Your Majesty might as well order the nearby counties to annihilate him."
Ying Zheng shook his head: "Local officials are useless."
None of the courtiers spoke. Everyone lamented that this unreliable Magistrate Pei had implicated all the local officials.
Li Si knew in his heart that annihilating Wang Heng would be equivalent to completely wiping out the Wang family, and the credit for this was not small.
Therefore, Li Si wanted to recommend one of his own to re-establish his position in the court.
After thinking quickly, Li Si said: "Your Majesty, I recommend someone who can destroy Wang Heng."
Li Shui smiled: "Is it difficult to kill Wang Heng with 500 people? He actually needs to be personally recommended by Lord Tingwei."
Li Si said calmly: "The Chu land has mountains, water, dense forests, and is smoky, so we must be cautious. And Zhao Tuo, who is familiar with the south and has led troops to put down the rebels, is the most suitable candidate."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "It makes sense, let Zhao Tuo go on the expedition."
Afterwards, the ministers retired.
Wang Wan and Li Si walked at the back.
Wang Wan smiled slightly and said, "Sir Tingwei, you had a good opportunity to overthrow Huaiguzi, but you didn't even inform me."
Li Si sighed: "It is too difficult to bring down Huaiguzi. If you don't pay attention, you will get burned. If you are not completely sure, how can I dare to involve the Prime Minister?"
Wang Wan smiled.
Then he asked: "Why do you recommend Zhao Tuo? Is Zhao Tuo yours?"
Wang Wan also saw that pacifying Wang Heng was a great achievement. Although he only had 500 people, he was able to pacify the Wang family.
At this time, Li Si actually had other generals to recommend, but he chose Zhao Tuo. Wang Wan was surprised, because Li Si and Zhao Tuo were not close.
Li Si smiled and said: "Zhao Tuo is not a subordinate. But... after today, he is a subordinate."
Wang Wan suddenly realized.
Today, Li Si has given Zhao Tuo a great contribution. Zhao Tuo must be grateful. From now on, Li Si will be the only one to follow his lead.
Li Si took a promising military general under his command with a single word.
Wang Wan looked at Li Si with admiration: "Wei Ting is so resourceful."
…………
Thousands of miles away, above the sea. Several ships were tossed back and forth in the wind and waves.
It was Xu Fu's fleet. They were loaded with silver unearthed from Japan and planned to return to Da Qin. Unexpectedly, they encountered a storm on the way back.
Xu Fu had a rope wrapped around his body. He had been knocked off the boat several times and pulled back several times.
He was soaked all over and kept vomiting. As for the sailors on the ship, they weren't much better.
Some sailors were already crying and kneeling on the deck in despair: "This must have angered the Poseidon. We will definitely die here and never be able to return home."
Xu Fu grabbed the rope and walked over and kicked him away: "Nonsense. I went to sea this time under the order of banishing the immortal. The banished immortal is a person in the sky, much nobler than a mere sea god."
Afterwards, Xu Fu grabbed the rope tightly and shouted to the sky: "I have an order to banish an immortal, who dares to kill me?"
Bolts of lightning loomed in the dark clouds, as if a giant dragon had revealed its claws.
The sailors were all scared to the point of weakness. But Xu Fu was still provoking the storm crazily.
He's not really crazy, he's just too experienced. On the sea, especially after encountering a violent storm and drifting dizzy for more than ten days, everyone was already desperate.
This kind of despair is more terrifying than the strong wind and waves. If you are not careful, everyone who is mentally stressed will go crazy.
Therefore, Xu Fu stood up and called out the name of the banished immortal through gritted teeth. He wanted to give the sailors a belief. As long as they survive this time, as long as they have this belief, from now on, they will have nothing to fear.
Xu Fu shouted for a full hour, and his voice became hoarse. The heavy rain in the sky suddenly stopped. The dark clouds dispersed, revealing the long-lost sky.
The sailors looked at Xu Fu in confusion and at the calm sea.
I don't know who knelt down first. Soon, everyone was kneeling indiscriminately, crying and chanting the word "Exile to Immortal."
Xu Fu collapsed on the deck exhausted: Fortunately, it was successful.
Suddenly, someone pointed in the distance and shouted: "There are trees, there is land over there. We are going home."
Everyone jumped up excitedly.
Xu Fu was the only one among them who remained awake. He knew clearly in his heart: it was true that there was land ahead, but it might not be Da Qin.
They had been floating at sea for more than 20 days, and there was heavy wind and rain every day. They could not see the North Star at all, and they had long lost their direction.
Ahead, I don’t know where it is yet.
Xu Fu took out his telescope and looked into the distance.
He saw many strange plants and indigenous people with tattoos on their faces and disheveled hair.
Xu Fu took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Check weapons and prepare to land."
When the sailors heard this, they picked up their weapons as if reflexively.
These days, they have experienced hundreds of battles in the Japanese country, and the fighting instinct has penetrated into their bones. Therefore, after hearing the order, they all stared at the land getting closer and closer.
Where's the front? No matter what, just catch two savages and ask them about it. At least I don't have to bump around on the sea anymore, which is always a good thing. 11 Go to Baidu to read the latest chapters of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
