The lieutenant frowned slightly and glanced at Hu Hai. Hu Hai seemed confused and pointed at the deer and laughed. Perhaps he forgot that Li Zhao was still holding something dark in his hand and kept looking at the guard. He jumped out from behind and jumped onto the steps under the throne, laughing heartily.
"Li Zhao, you said this is a horse, haha! I'm laughing so hard. If this is a horse, the pigs walking on the ground, and the beasts flying in the sky are also horses, wouldn't it mean that there are horses everywhere in our Qin Dynasty?"
The waiters next to him also laughed, and some officials below were also laughing secretly. Maybe only some of them couldn't laugh.
It doesn't matter whether it is a deer or a horse. What matters is how they choose.
Some people don't know it, but some people know it very well. This Li Zhao came here for provocation.
They didn't think that Li Zhao dared to break into the Qin Palace alone and kill the lieutenant openly. He must have someone to rely on, but what was his basis for? Is it Chang'an Township grain?
If food is his reliance, it is only a temporary one, and it is insignificant in the face of the huge dynasty.
But Li Zhao doesn’t look like such a person, so what exactly does he rely on?
Everyone was speculating on Li Zhao's support, and the Taiwei frowned even more tightly, his eyes scanning back and forth on several people.
"What? You don't dare to ask the ministers to come over? In this case, there is nothing Zhao Ai can do to help."
Li Zhao no longer smiled playfully, patted the deer's hindquarters gently, and continued helplessly: "Some people can't even recognize a horse, how do you expect them to succeed to the throne? I hope you will be cautious."
When Hu Hai heard this, he became angry and pointed at Li Zhao and cursed: "Li Zhao, what do you mean? I am the royal prince, how can you not be able to tell the difference between a horse and a horse? It is obvious that you are stupid and cannot tell the difference between a deer and a red deer."
"Really? Since you can tell the difference, why do you wantonly slander such loyal ministers as Prime Minister Feng and Shangqing Mengyi? Do you know the horse?"
"You? Them?" Hu Hai was speechless and quickly looked at the Taiwei and others. The Taiwei's expression could no longer be hidden. What no one knew was that the veins on his arms were popping up one by one. He suddenly waved his hand and said , "You all come forward and see if this is a horse or a deer?"
His eyes were sharp and terrifying.
"Yes, come forward and identify the horses. I am going to show Li Zhao whether it's because I don't recognize the horse or because he is stupid." Hu Hai came forward and pointed fingers at the ministers.
Sure enough, the words of the two men were very useful, and soon the courtiers lined up and stood in front of the deer.
"This is a deer!" One of the courtiers said first, looking at Hu Hai in a flattering way, and then stood aside.
After the first person identified it, more people followed. Not surprisingly, many ministers said it was a deer, including many from Jiuqing.
Looking at it, Li Zhao's face became more and more sinister, and even turned dark.
"This is a horse!" An uncoordinated voice appeared, which made Li Zhao feel a little relieved. He followed the sound and found that it was Feng Jie.
It's not surprising that Feng Jie can identify the horse. After all, his father was tripped by these people. He would never side with them. Of course, maybe he knew something.
However, the fact that Feng Jie, one of the three men, identified him as a horse did not change everyone's minds. The deer-identifiers still maintained their position.
In the end, Feng Jie was the only one in the entire hall who identified the horse, and everyone else identified the deer. This was a terrifying number, and Li Zhao was heartbroken to the end.
No, he was heartbroken for the emperor. His ministers all turned to the traitors just because of a rumor. Didn't these people have any loyalty at all? Were they just a bunch of people who took advantage of the situation?
"Hahaha! Li Zhao, you are all identified as deer. I hope you will keep your promise."
Although Li Zhao was disappointed, he was very calm. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Feng Jie from the corner of his eyes, saying: "Whoever said that all the fingers are a deer, the censor said they are horses."
As soon as he finished speaking, three people walked in from outside the palace, "We also identified him as a horse."
Li Zhao was quite surprised and smiled at the next moment. Two of the three people were very familiar with them. They were Shaofu and Xiao He. There was another person following behind him, but he didn't recognize them very much. He seemed to have seen them before, but he didn't have much impression.
"General Li, Han is here."
"Teacher, Xiao He is here."
"General Li, Cao Shen is here."
The three of them came to Li Zhao and bowed, but they didn't care at all that so many people pointed out that they were deer.
In fact, these three people learned that Li Zhao was going to the palace and asked for leave one after another. In fact, they knew the purpose of Hu Haixuan Li Zhao going to the palace. Later they learned that Li Zhao was going to call a deer a horse in the palace. Xiao He immediately thought of the key point and immediately and the other two coming.
Since they had to choose a side, of course they sided with Li Zhao.
Xiao He was not surprised that these three people stood on his side, but he was surprised that the Shaofu was among them. There was also a third person who also chose to stand on his side, which was really unexpected.
Wait, what did he call himself just now? Cao Shen.
Li Zhao thought about it and soon thought of the origin of this name.
Cao Shen, Xiao He's old friend, the person who succeeded Xiao He in history, was Liu Bang's right-hand man. He was also a historical celebrity, but he was not as outstanding as Xiao He.
He didn't expect to meet another historical celebrity and stand with Xiao He on his side.
"good very good!"
Li Zhao held up his hands to the three of them, showed a satisfied smile, and then said to the Taiwei: "Liuwei, there are four people who are designated as horses. I don't need to feed them."
"Of course, if we really want to release food, it's not impossible. If we let Meng Yi and Prime Minister Feng go, maybe I will consider it."
This is one of the purposes of his coming here.
"Are you going back on your word?" The Taiwei was angry. He had been singing along with the opera for so long, but was being manipulated. Things were back to square one. How could he be taught not to be angry?
"No, actually someone pointed out that he was a horse, so that promise doesn't count."
"Are you having fun?" The captain's eyes widened and his face turned frighteningly dark. He shouted after them, "Come here, take these four people down and cook them for me."
The Taiwei had reached the limit of his endurance and was shouting at the top of his lungs.
The captain's sudden reaction made Li Zhao's heart bulge, and he quickly took a step back and became alert.
What does it mean that this person ordered the capture of four of his own people without going through Hu Hai's hands? This shows that Hu Hai is very likely to be manipulated by him, and judging from Hu Hai's performance at the moment, it seems that he is not angry, but rather natural.
In other words, this person has a very high status in Hu Hai's mind, and he is also the Taiwei of the Three Dukes.
"One of the Three Young Masters? Could it be..." Li Zhao's expression turned scary. If the masked man's statement was correct, he was very suspicious.
But Li Zhao remained calm and raised the dark object in his hand to point directly at the captain: "Hmph! Capture me? If you dare to act rashly, be careful as you can see your brain."
"The lieutenant is the perfect example."
"Are you threatening me?" the captain said calmly.
"You can say that."
At this time, dozens of armored men came in from the door. When they saw the Taiwei being pointed at with a black object, they all shouted, "Don't do this nonsense." Then they gathered around.
The captain did not stop them.
Li Zhao snorted coldly, and shot the man who charged the hardest with one shot, and then pointed directly at the Taiwei.
"Tell them to stay back, or my gun doesn't have eyes."
One shot killed a man, just like the death of the lieutenant just now. The lieutenant was a little frightened and immediately asked the armor to retreat, but he still stared at him eagerly.
"You know what's going on!"
Li Zhao pushed the Taiwei one step forward, stared at the others and said, of course, this was also meant for the Taiwei: "You should be very curious as to why I dare to enter the hall alone and kill people without any scruples."
"Some people may guess that I have someone to rely on, hehe! In fact, I do have someone to rely on."
