Meng Yi lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said: "Young master, you should not be anxious about this matter. I will go to the city gate first to check the entry and exit records of the past few months..."
Young Master Su shook his head and said: "I don't think there may be records. Since they can even mobilize the imperial army, I'm afraid the records of leaving the city have long been erased."
Meng Yi frowned slightly and said: "The imperial troops guarding the city are absolutely loyal to the king. Maybe we can put it another way, in the name of investigating people entering the city..."
Young Master Su thought for a while and said: "This matter cannot be personally handled by the general. You can ask the deputy general to review the records of entering and leaving the imperial city in the past few months."
Meng Yi laughed when he heard this: "This is in line with the rules. After all, we would randomly check these records in previous years."
Young Master Su sighed and said, "I went to the academy yesterday and found out that the master had taken two disciples on a trip. If I could ask the teacher about this, I might be able to draw a better conclusion."
Meng Yi shook his head and said: "Even if Master is here, we can't wash away the mastermind behind the scenes. What we have to do is to find the mastermind of this matter."
Young Master Su smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "General, you have to be careful about this matter and don't let the news leak out."
Meng Yi smiled and replied: "Don't worry, young master, this is not a war, nothing can go wrong."
Young Master Su sighed and said, "We have been stable for a long time, but a storm is coming again."
"If you are afraid, they are also those who are causing harm secretly."
Meng Yi picked up a bottle of wine from the ground and said with a smile: "We will worry about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. Let's have a few drinks tonight, even if we are drunk for a while."
Young Master Su was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "The general comes here once in a while, so he has a few drinks."
…
After leaving Xue Jun, Xu Fu, Li Xiuyuan and his party continued to go to the seaside.
But the imperial city in the autumn was not peaceful, not just because of Meng Yi and Young Master Su.
Because the Imperial Guards responsible for the security of the Imperial City suddenly received an order from the General, no one was allowed to leave the Imperial City. Those who needed to leave to visit relatives had to go to the General's Mansion in person to register.
All heavy weapons are stored in the warehouse and filed for investigation. No ministers or yamen are allowed to borrow the forbidden troops to go out for business.
Unless there is an imperial edict from King Qin, anyone who violates it will be executed.
However, when the ministers went to court, they did not see anything inappropriate on King Qin's face, so they all wondered if there was trouble within the Forbidden Army.
As a result, someone finally became restless and restless.
The incident of Xu Fu's assassination was quietly circulated among the ministers in the imperial city, but the eunuch in the palace accidentally let it slip that someone had sent two carts of heads to the king, and it was said that they were all from the imperial army.
But the news came to an abrupt end, because the talkative eunuch was later beheaded by the king.
For a time, no one in the entire palace dared to mention this matter again. Only the king himself knew what was going on.
However, at the court meeting, if the emperor does not say anything, who dares to take the initiative to ask?
Therefore, the ministers could only retreat from the court and discuss privately what happened after leaving the palace. If it was really the heads of the two carriages, if not two hundred, it would be one hundred, right?
So many forbidden troops were killed, but King Qin remained calm. It seemed that a storm was coming in the imperial city.
Only Zuo Xiang Li Si knew that he was summoned to the imperial study that day and saw King Qin smashing a jade plate, holding a circle of bamboo slips, and remained silent for a long time.
Then all the ministers knew that the king was angry, and very angry.
The difference is that after all, only a few people are frightened. Most officials believe that they are gentlemen and magnanimous, and that they are worthy of the emperor and the gods.
There are only some guys who have taken advantage of the adults, or secretly mobilized the imperial army, with evil intentions, waiting for the coming of the storm in anxiety.
In the eyes of the ministers, since these guys were bold enough to provoke the moody King Qin.
And he dared to mobilize the Imperial City's imperial army without authorization. It seemed that someone had made a thorough plan, or had already thought about how to face the king's wrath.
Before August 15th, a steady autumn rain began to fall in the imperial city, making people feel a chilling atmosphere.
On this day, Zhao Gao came to the residence of the second prince Hai.
The first thing the two said when they met was that Young Master Hai asked in disbelief: "Xu Fu is not dead?!"
Young Master Hai was so angry that he gritted his teeth, looked at Zhao Gao and shouted bitterly: "That guy's luck is too good, isn't it? How much effort have we put into it?"
Zhao Gao sat quietly, sighed coldly, and reminded: "Your Highness, you should pay attention to your identity and your words in front of your ministers. This is no joke."
Young Master Hai sneered and said: "This is my residence. I guess the general also imprisoned all the forbidden troops under the orders of my father. Is he waiting to find out the truth?"
Zhao Gao looked at him quietly and said after a while: "Relax, the king will not doubt you."
Young Master Hai was speechless for a moment, because he also knew that his weak power in the court was not only because of the prosperity of King Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period, but also because of the existence of Young Master Su.
As for his original operation, he also wanted to dump the dirty water on his brother after it was completed, and let him take the blame.
Unexpectedly, his father's sharp eyes could see through some of these things.
Directly ordered to the general to imprison all the forbidden troops in the imperial city.
In this way, even if he thought about continuing to trouble Xu Fu, he was powerless.
After all, each government has its own army, and it is neither under his nor Zhao Gao's jurisdiction. Even if...if the news leaks out, it will be more troublesome than the current matter.
Thinking of this, Gongzi Hai laughed bitterly and said: "Sir, what you said makes sense. I am so weak. How can I mobilize the imperial army to kill people?"
Zhao Gao lowered his head and sighed silently.
You can clear your name and survive the king's sword with just one weak word, but what about you? I'm afraid it won't be that easy to escape from the general.
Thinking of this, on the one hand, he felt uneasy and confused about this series of losses.
He thought the same as Young Master Su, Xu Fu was just a civil servant, how could he carry the imperial army he sent out, and every time he was almost completely wiped out, leaving no one alive to come back.
Until now, he still doesn't know what's wrong with this?
Is it possible that there is an unborn monk beside Xu Fu to support him and protect him?
Only this explanation makes sense. Otherwise, how could that guy with less than a hundred guards have the ability to go to sea to obtain elixir for the king?
"Let me tell you..." Gongzi Hai's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty, and he said coldly: "It would be fine if that guy Xu Fu died on the road, otherwise it would be fine if he died at sea."
Young Master Hai laughed coldly. In his opinion, only in this way could he have a chance to bring down his brother.
Or, his father couldn't get the elixir, and he could ascend to the throne of king with the help of Zhao Gao. This was the reason why the two of them didn't get along.
Because of this, he dared to mobilize the imperial army to snipe Xu Fu head-on.
As long as Xu Fu dies, no one in the DPRK will dare to go to the East China Sea. In this way, he will have more hope and certainty in realizing his plan.
In the quiet Qiu Fan, the ministers speculated one after another about which minister was so bold that he dared to offend the power of heaven and mobilize the imperial army under the king's jurisdiction without authorization.
This is not the most important problem. What is important is that the Imperial Guards were beheaded and given to the king.
This is what everyone cares about.
Some people suspect that he is the left prime minister because he has such power.
Some people doubt Young Master Su because, besides the King, Young Master Su has the most extensive connections in the imperial city, so it is not impossible to command the imperial army.
Some people also doubted Gongzi Hai because he was crazy and had such courage and strength.
Dare to do things that others dare not do. In the eyes of the ministers, he is a little wolf that bites without saying a word.
There is only one exception, and that is the general.
Because everyone knows that General Meng is loyal to His Majesty the King of Qin and is the emperor's close army.
"Sir, don't do anything next."
Zhao Gao's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes were like big lakes, making it impossible to see through his thoughts, let alone what he was going to do next.
He picked up the wine that Gongzi Hai poured for him, took a sip, and then laughed.
He said quietly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Let me go back and think of a comprehensive solution and find a few suitable people... Someone has to take care of this matter."
Young Master Hai was slightly startled. In fact, he was not afraid that his father would find out that he had done this. At worst, he would be grounded for a few years. He couldn't have his head chopped off, right?
However, he didn't know that Zhao Gao had a bigger plan.
In Zhao Gao's view, this matter has been revealed to the world. The King of Qin will lock up Gongzi Hai for a few years at most, so what?
But if this happens, his career and even his life may come to an end this autumn, and he doesn't want to take the blame himself.
He had to think about it, think about it carefully.
If he can smooth things over so that he can avoid harming Gongzi Hai and avoid the danger of beheading, this will be the biggest trouble he will face.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but complain.
If you weren't too weak, would you have spent so much thought, thought of countless ways, and racked your brains to pave the way for your future?
It's just that this is what he has in mind.
Even if he is in prison, he will not tell Young Master Hai before he dies. In his opinion, if this guy is involved, it will only make things more and more troublesome.
"That's natural. I didn't do anything."
Gongzi Hai gritted his teeth, showing the fierceness of a wild wolf, and said coldly: "It would be nice if Xu Fu could die at sea. After all, he is the hope of his father."
For Gongzi Hai, no matter who wants his father to live longer, he is his enemy.
Zhao Gao suddenly paused. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He sighed secretly in his heart and had endless expectations. Maybe the day this guy in front of him would ascend to the throne.
This is the moment when he comes out of his suffering. For this, he can give something more.
After a long time, Zhao Gaocai slowly shook his head and said: "In the next few years, Master, remember not to do anything, not to make any mistakes, and just endure it for a few years."
Gongzi Hai raised his head and looked at Zhao Gao silently. He could see Zhao Gao's uneasiness and worry, but he couldn't see what Zhao Gao was thinking about in the end. What kind of plan will there be next?
For him, Zhao Gao was left to do the troublesome things, and he just had to follow the arrangements.
As a prince, he had to think that maybe he would wait until Xu Zhu returned to the back city alive and then find a way to kill him. In short, he had to find a way to kill whoever blocked his way?
Zhao Gao had a hint of fear.
He had been thinking that if Young Master Su didn't get so close to the old dog Li Si, maybe he could get close to Young Master Su instead of guarding this loser in front of him.
If things turned out the way he thought, why would he bother to create so much trouble?
But what he didn't know was that as a student of the Master, how could the young master Su, who had been educated in Confucianism since childhood, follow the same path as him?
Sighing, Zhao Gao said helplessly: "The current situation is that it is worse to be still than to move. We need more time to suffer."
"Who?" Gongzihai asked with a frown.
Zhao Gao taught Young Master Hai the same lesson as his own son, and replied coldly: "Survive every enemy in front of us."
