"Of course it's your fault. What's the name of that artillery? By the way, it's called the red cannon. It blasted Xiang Yu so hard that he couldn't fight back. Of course, my thousand elites also contributed a lot."
I see!
But Li Zhao didn't care much about these. What he cared about was Xiang Yu's safety.
"Is there any harm to Xiang Yu's uncle or nephew?"
"Hey!" Ying Zheng put down his power as emperor and patted Li Zhao on the shoulder, "Don't worry, how can I destroy your people? But all the princes have been destroyed."
Li Zhao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, secretly thinking that he was indeed a violent person.
Since the chaos in the Six Kingdoms, there have been rebels in various places, forming major princes. At that time, they also came to Julu. Although they did not participate in the battle of Julu, they were watching.
In history, the reason why Xiang Yu grew so fast and achieved such a status was all because of the support of the major princes.
After he defeated Zhang Han with a small number of giant deer, he was admired by all the princes, and they all attached to him.
Presumably the current princes think so too! But he suffered a misfortune because of it, which is really funny.
If it is not destroyed, it will be destroyed. These people took the opportunity to revolt and undoubtedly took advantage of the situation.
"It's better to destroy it!" Li Zhao muttered.
These are the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and should be destroyed, but I also secretly admire the brilliance of Qin Shihuang. This game not only uncovered the rebels in the court, but also dealt a heavy blow to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. It can be imagined that there will probably be no more rebels from now on.
From this moment on, Da Qin is truly as stable as Mount Tai.
"Li Zhao, Liu Ji and Xiang Yu are talented people. I hope you will put them to good use."
Li Zhao understood what Ying Zheng said, that he wanted to train these two people to serve Da Qin at the right time.
It has to be said that the emperor's heart can tolerate hundreds of rivers. If such a rebellious person dares to use it, isn't he afraid of backlash? The two people in history are not good friends.
However, from the perspective of the official configuration of Da Qin, it makes sense. There are many people from the six countries in the government and the public. If he is really afraid, he will not appoint them. He only appoints them based on their talents.
"Promise! I will definitely live up to my expectations." Of course he knew that Liu Ji and Xiang Yu were talents. It should be noted that they were the emperor of Han Dynasty and the overlord of Western Chu in history!
The two of them had just finished their conversation when they saw someone walking in, it was the Taiwei.
He has arrived.
This guy came very quickly, he must have already arrived at Shanglin Garden!
Li Zhao muttered.
I didn't have a good impression of this person at first, but now I don't dislike him much. It's just his face that never smiles that makes people avoid him.
"I have met your Majesty."
The lieutenant held up his hands, but his eyes fell on Li Zhao, and he forced an ugly smile.
On the other hand, Feng Quji looked at him with hatred and imperceptible eyes.
However, the Taiwei didn't pay attention. He raised his hands and said hello to Feng Quji: "How is Feng Xiangke?" This was a question knowingly, and Feng Quji turned his face away.
"Hey! If you sell him, will he be okay?" Ying Zheng joked on the side, which actually relaxed the whole atmosphere.
Things have basically calmed down, and the atmosphere no longer needs to be so cramped.
"Lieutenant, if Feng Xiang has doubts in his mind, please help him to clear up his doubts! Otherwise, he will not close his eyes to death."
Feng Quji still turned his face away and said nothing. The captain showed a rare smile and said: "No!" Then he turned to Feng Quji, "Prime Minister Feng, don't blame me. If you want to blame me, blame you for being greedy. I can't do that." It’s just going with the flow.”
"But it's a pity that I didn't meet the person who ordered you. It's a bit regretful. After all, he is a disaster."
Feng Quji finally turned around, and looked at the Taiwei closely with his heart tugged. Without answering his words, he asked: "You betrayed me so much, aren't you afraid that I will tell you your scandal?"
This is the reason why Taiwei was controlled by Feng Quji.
The lieutenant still smiled stiffly and responded: "Of course I'm not afraid, because His Majesty already knows."
"What do you mean?" Feng Quji's face changed after hearing this, and he stared at Feng Quji, "Could it be that all of this is a trap? You have already suspected me and you only deliberately exposed the situation to be controlled by me?"
"Smart, but also stupid. It's not me who doubts you, it's your Majesty. To be precise, it's your Majesty who doubts everyone, and you are just one of them. This is very simple, it is to make those who have evil thoughts in their hearts unable to hide. , and you were fooled just because you had a ghost in your heart."
"That's it!" Feng Quji felt a sense of sadness. The indifference just now was gone, and he was replaced by a deep sense of frustration. He thought he was very smart, but in front of His Majesty, he was just jumping a little higher. Just a grasshopper.
Li Zhao was shocked when he heard this.
This is His Majesty's method. Then, does Your Majesty also use this method on himself?
This question lingers, and when I think of these young masters, Meng Yi, etc., I feel cold sweats running down my back, I guess that's it. Your Majesty's methods have also been used on him, and more so than Feng Quji's.
Fortunately, fortunately, Li Zhao secretly took a selfie of his chest and he did not rebel.
Qin Shihuang is really good at cheating people.
"Okay, tell me why you rebelled against me! I think I'm not kind to you, why do I do this?" Finally, the emperor spoke, with a hint of sullenness in his words.
Feng Quji smiled deeply, and gently wiped his old face with his hand, trying to make himself free and easy, but he murmured in response: "Why rebel? Haha!"
Smiling desperately: "The guilty minister is an old man, is it for profit and power? Of course not, it is all for the generations of my Feng family."
None of the listeners could understand.
Since it is for the sake of the Feng family for generations, there should be no rebellion. According to the current status of the Feng family in the court, as long as nothing goes wrong, the generations will enjoy endless glory and wealth.
"Your Majesty!" He bowed his hands to Ying Zheng, "I blame you for not executing Hu Hai in the first place."
Everyone was stunned.
When Hu Hai, Li Si, and Zhao Gao committed crimes together, only Zhao Gao was executed, while Hu Hai was only imprisoned.
But does this have anything to do with his rebellion?
"Oh! Tell me about it!" Ying Zheng stared at Feng Quji and sneered.
"Your Majesty must be no stranger to Duke Xiang! One day he came to the guilty minister and said that if the First Emperor died, Hu Hai would succeed, and then the guilty minister and his son Feng Jie would hang themselves."
"You know, the Feng family's success depends entirely on the guilty minister and his son Feng Jie. If both of us hang ourselves because of Hu Hai, how will the Feng family survive?"
"At first, Gui Chen didn't believe it, but one thing happened after another, and Gui Chen had to believe it. Since Gui Chen and his son were going to die, Gui Chen had to make plans for the Feng family."
"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Burning books and entrapping Confucians, the Incident in the Sand Dunes."
"Everything Mr. Xiang said has been confirmed. Do you think the guilty minister is afraid? Can the guilty minister not believe it? Therefore, only rebellion can save my Feng family."
When Li Zhao heard this, he was secretly shocked, and his inner voice came out naturally:
[It seems that Prime Minister Feng and Duke Xiang have been in contact for a long time. 】
[Isn’t this what happened in history? Cleverly, Xiang Gong used his foresight of the future to instigate Feng Quji's rebellion. Sure enough, he had some tricks. It would be strange if Feng Quji didn't take the bait. 】
Um! Ying Zheng suddenly turned his head and glanced at Li Zhao, thinking to himself: What happened in history? A prophet of things to come? Does it mean that Duke Xiang knows the history of my country, Qin Dynasty? Or do he and Li Zhaoban also have the ability to predict the future? If this is true, what does it have to do with Feng Quji?
[If my guess is correct, it must be Xiang Gong and Feng Quji who said that after Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, his father and son would be persecuted, and eventually they both hanged themselves. This is indeed a lie. It would be strange for Feng Quji not to rebel for the sake of his family. , only rebellion can save the family, which seems to be no wonder for him. 】
【Why! Qin Shihuang should not have kept Hu Hai in the first place! 】
Well!
When Ying Zheng heard this, he narrowed his eyes and felt stern in his heart: Will Hu Hai persecute the Feng family and his son when he succeeds to the throne? How can this be? Everything is under my control, how could that bastard Hu Hai persecute me? Hu Hai is my son, is it wrong to keep him? If this is not Feng Quji's fault, is it me?
"So, you and Xiang Gong have been colluding together for a long time!" Ying Zheng asked, but Feng Quji did not answer. He had already said what he wanted to say in his heart, and there was no more burden in his heart. Even if he died, he would die. Comfortable.
There was no answer from Feng Quji, but Li Zhao's voice came:
[He even burned books and harassed scholars. Of course he had been colluding with Duke Xiang for a long time. I wonder if Duke Xiang told him about the rebellion of Liu Ji and Xiang Yu? There should be, otherwise Feng Quji would not be so determined to steal the iron smelting workshop. 】
Um!
Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: Liu Ji and Xiang Yu's rebellion? Is this also something that will happen in the history of our Great Qin? Isn't this what your kid did? You must be as good as Xiang Gong in predicting it! I wonder what else can be predicted next?
Gradually, Ying Zheng became interested in Li Zhao again. This kid hasn't had a voice for a long time. It's really surprising that he has so many voices today.
Unfortunately, Li Zhao's inner voice did not come out again, which made him disappointed for a while.
But the next moment, Feng Quji started laughing, whether it was a bitter smile before his death or a reluctant smile. Then, he knelt down and kowtowed.
The contrast between the before and after practices is very big.
"Your Majesty, the crime of the guilty minister is unpardonable. I know that I will die soon, but I really can't worry about the Feng family. I beg your majesty to let my Feng family go. My son, the Feng family, was not involved in the rebellion. He knew nothing about it. I hope your majesty will make it happen."
He buried his head deeply and there was blood on his forehead.
At this moment, maybe he was afraid.
"Huh!" Ying Zheng said with a serious face, "Are you afraid? If I had known today, why bother then? As the right prime minister, you should also know that treason is a major crime and the people of the Lian clan will be killed."
"What a foolish request!"
Feng Quji begged even more, but he rolled his eyes and said immediately: "No, Your Majesty, Duke Xiang once told the guilty minister about something. This matter is very important. It is about Xianyang Palace. As long as Your Majesty agrees to let me go." Feng family, the guilty minister is willing to inform."
oh!
Ying Zheng was slightly startled when he heard this. Seeing that Feng Quji's expression didn't look like he was lying, he thought to himself: Xianyang Palace? Very important. What is so important? Xianyang Palace is the palace left by our ancestors, and it is also the place where political affairs are currently handled. It is an important place in the capital and must not be lost.
If the matter is very important, you need to understand it clearly.
Of course, if this is indeed the case, it is not impossible to let the Feng family go. At most, it will give him an advantage.
But just as he was about to ask, Li Zhao's voice appeared.
[What did Duke Xiang say? Could it be something that happened in history? What events are related to Xianyang Palace? 】
Listening, Ying Zheng saw Li Zhao frowning, as if he was thinking. The next moment, he saw his body trembling, as if he was panicked, and his inner voice came out naturally.
【Xianyang Palace? Xianyang Palace? Could it be]
Could it be what?
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart also tightened, and his body inadvertently leaned slightly towards Li Zhao, as if he wanted to hear the voice of his heart more clearly.
[Burn Xianyang Palace? A Chu man set fire to the scorched earth, and Xiang Yu was a Chu man. Xiang Yu burned the Xianyang Palace for three months, leaving scorched earth everywhere. Since then, the Xianyang Palace has been reduced to ruins. 】
What?
When Ying Zheng heard this, his whole body tilted up, his eyes almost turned dark and he almost fell down.
Burning Xianyang Palace, burning March, and reducing it to ruins?
Xianyang Palace contains many palaces. If it is really burned down, how can he be worthy of the sixth king, how can he be the cornerstone of the Qin Dynasty? Where will he end up?
No, Xiang Yu must not allow Xianyang Palace to be burned down.
However, when he was panicking, Li Zhao's voice arose again.
【That’s not right! Xiang Yu's army has been captured by Qin Shihuang, how can they burn Xianyang Palace? 】
Yes!
When Ying Zheng heard this, he slapped his head violently, hating that he had been careless just now, no, caring would lead to chaos.
Xiang Yu has been captured, and the entire army has been captured dead, wounded, and intact. How can they burn down Xianyang Palace? He was overthinking.
After a while, I felt relieved.
However, this surprise made him turn his back on Li Zhaozhi. This kid is just tormenting people.
Suddenly feeling the emperor's unkind gaze, Li Zhao shrank subconsciously, but he was confused inside. He didn't do anything! Why did the emperor have such an expression, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you willing to agree to the guilty minister? If you agree, the guilty minister will inform you immediately. Otherwise, if time delays, the matter will become serious." Feng Quji was very puzzled when he saw the emperor's surprised expression. He urged anxiously.
He was afraid that the emperor would disapprove.
Of course, the emperor disagreed, but responded coldly: "Do you want to say that someone will burn Xianyang Palace? Do you want to say that the person who burned it is Xiang Yu?"
ah!
ah!
Two voices came out at the same time, it was Feng Quji and Li Zhao.
Li Zhao was surprised as to why Qin Shihuang knew what he was thinking. He had just thought about this question, and it came out of Qin Shihuang's mouth.
But I soon felt relieved. How could a person who could arrange a shocking situation not be able to find out some secrets? He must have heard some thoughts about Xiang Yu.
Of course Feng Quji was surprised that His Majesty actually said what he was thinking.
"You, how do you know?" The words couldn't help but come out, but Ying Zheng pretended to be incomprehensible and asked, "What do you think?"
Feng Quji was speechless, but he was wailing again and again. Without support, how would the emperor treat the Feng family? Is the Feng family destined to die because of him?
No, absolutely not.
Suddenly, his eyes bulged, and he thought of something again. He knelt down and said quickly: "Your Majesty, has Princess Yangzi been missing for a long time? The guilty minister knows her whereabouts. As long as the crime does not go to the Feng family, the guilty minister is willing to tell her."
