"You said he named you Goudan?"
A surprised voice sounded in the study room in the inner courtyard of the CRRC Fuling Mansion.
Zhao Gao knelt down behind the desk and looked at Yan Le with a smile on his face.
At this time, half of Yan Le's face was swollen, and his face shape could not be seen at all, which looked a bit funny.
He could only hear him saying angrily: "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. That Young Master Hao is simply bullying others too much. He strikes at the slightest disagreement. He is really not a son of man!"
"shut up!"
When Zhao Gao heard Yan Le's words, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately shouted sharply.
Yan Le was stunned, looked up at Zhao Gao with some confusion, and said: "Why is father-in-law doing this? This is your mansion, only we, son-in-law and son-in-law..."
"As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes. Just based on what you just said, this beating was not in vain!" Zhao Gao said with a stern face.
"...."
Yan Le was speechless. Although he had resentment in his heart, he did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Zhao Gao.
Many years ago, Yan Leben was a young man in the city of Handan. His father opened a tavern and often negotiated with merchants from Qin.
When the Qin State was preparing to overthrow the Zhao State, Yan Le's father was informed by a merchant, so he secretly fled to the Qin State with his family.
Later, he opened a tavern in Xianyang.
At that time, Zhao Gao often went out of the palace to help Ying Zheng with his affairs, and occasionally came to the tavern to have a drink or two. Over time, he got to know Yan Le's father.
After that, Yan Le came into Zhao Gao's sight.
At the beginning, Yan Le was only recommended by Zhao Gao to serve as a night watchman in the imperial city guard.
Some time ago, Ying Zheng arranged for Zhao Gao to be Hu Hai's teacher, so Zhao Gao naturally made him the young prince Hu Hai's successor.
In addition to helping with some chores, he also has a secret mission, which is to secretly monitor all princes for Zhao Gao, especially those close to the First Emperor.
Of course, Zhao Gao had no other evil thoughts at this time. He was just in the palace and serving Ying Zheng personally. He had to be alert to all the news in the palace.
Yan Le handled this matter extremely thoughtfully, making Hu Hai very happy at the same time.
Zhao Gao was very satisfied with this and married his daughter to him.
This time, the First Emperor asked Zhao Gao to arrange a chariot for Zhao Hao. The first thing Zhao Gao thought of was his son-in-law Yan Le.
Others may not know the First Emperor, but Zhao Gao has served the First Emperor for more than 20 years. It can be said that no one knows the First Emperor better than anyone else.
Although the First Emperor did not value Zhao Hao on the surface, he actually paid more attention to Zhao Hao than the average prince.
Faintly, they are on the same level as the young prince Hu Hai and the eldest prince Fu Su.
What does this mean?
This shows that the situation in the palace is about to change!
As an old man who has been in the palace for decades, he cannot be careless about any trouble.
Therefore, Zhao Gao asked Yan Le to be Zhao Hao's chariot chariot.
This is actually equivalent to an investment.
Putting your eggs in different baskets always saves one basket of eggs.
Yan Le was able to serve Hu Hai with great pleasure, and as long as he spent some time, he should also be able to serve Zhao Hao satisfactorily.
In this way, he can benefit from both sides.
No matter who the First Emperor chooses in the end, he is the winner.
However, Yan Le annoyed his boss on his first day at work and made him very dissatisfied.
"Yan Le, do you want to make contributions?" Zhao Gao asked coldly with a calm face.
When Yan Le heard this, he immediately raised his hands to Zhao Gao and said, "I am willing to do my best for my father-in-law!"
"What would you do if there was a danger of life or death?"
"I will not give up even if I die!"
"good!"
Zhao Gao nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked Yan Le, "Do you know why I am here today?"
"My son-in-law doesn't know, so I'd like to ask my father-in-law for advice!" Yan Le said solemnly, cupping his hands.
Zhao Gao said calmly: "Because I always regard myself as a dog beside Your Majesty. Your Majesty tells me to be a human being, so I will be a human being. If Your Majesty treats me like a dog, I will be a loyal dog!"
"Now that your majesty has unified the six countries and reused me, one person has achieved enlightenment, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven!"
After saying that, he took a deep look at Yan Le and said, "So, what's wrong with being a dog?"
"...."
Yan Le was shocked.
He never dreamed that his father-in-law, who was so arrogant in front of him, the celebrity around the First Emperor, and Zhao Fuling, who was treated politely by the nine ministers, could be so humble.
But thinking about Zhao Gao's life experience, he felt that it was understandable.
Zhao Gao went from being a reclusive palace servant to what he is today step by step. The hardships and efforts he put in are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Not to mention anything else, Zhao Gao's attainments in criminal law and calligraphy were praised even by the First Emperor.
Such people put their posture in such a humble position and still accept it calmly, and deserve the success of others.
Seeing Yan Le's eyes gradually clearing up, Zhao Gao asked calmly: "Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Yan Le sternly handed over his hand.
Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said: "Go down, remember to report anything you have to do!"
"only."
Yan Le responded with joy and left the room respectfully.
Zhao Gao squinted his eyes, picked up the bamboo slips on the desk, and slowly unfolded them. He saw that it recorded in detail Zhao Hao's daily life in the palace.
"This Young Master Hao...Why does he always run to remote places...rooftops...pools and woods..."
"Is there something fishy about these places?"
He murmured in his heart, and after a while, a glint flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes. He immediately put away the bamboo slips and shouted toward the door: "Prepare the car! I am entering the palace!"
........
At the same time, Chu Nan Pavilion in the palace.
Zhao Hao was playing cards with his four 'waste brothers'.
They came to Chunan Pavilion mainly because Zhao Hao skipped class again today.
Everyone thought there would be a good show today, but when the new teacher came to Wensi Pavilion, Zhao Hao disappeared.
Zhao Hao learned from the four 'waste emperor brothers' that their foreign masters were different from his own.
Moreover, it is said that the foreign master is very kind and has no temper at all. He seems to be a doctor in Taoism.
Taoism emphasizes governance by doing nothing, and is also very indulgent towards students. They only discipline students, whether you like to learn or not.
In this way, the four 'good-for-nothing emperor brothers' finished their homework for the day and came to Chunan Pavilion without stopping.
It seemed that Zhao Hao had become their source of happiness.
Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns.
Of course, Zhao Hao did not let them down and taught them how to play Pai Gow.
Pai Gow is an ancient game.
Originated from the Song Dynasty.
Because it puts a lot of psychological pressure on players when opening cards, it is called push Pai Gow.
The basic gameplay of Pai Gow is to determine the outcome based on the number of domino points.
Domino Pai Gow is divided into big Pai Gow and small Pai Gow. Big Pai Gow has four tiles per person, divided into two groups, small and large, which are matched with the dealer's cards respectively.
A total victory and a total loss is a win and a loss, and a win and a loss is a draw.
In Pai Gow, each player has two cards, and the winner is determined immediately.
Because of his neatness, Zhao Hao taught them how to play Pai Gow.
"Brother Hao, this Pai Gow push is really interesting, much more fun than the Liubo game!" Young Master Gao looked at the chips in front of him and said with a smile.
After several rounds, he won a lot of chips, and his face was glowing now.
On the other hand, Gongzi Liang, Gongzi Jianglu and Gongzi Ronglu looked miserable.
In fact, apart from Zhao Hao, among the four brothers, Gongzi Gao was the smartest. Zhao Hao taught them how to play Pai Gow, and Gongzi Gao was the first to learn it.
It is really sad that such a noble son ended up being buried with the First Emperor.
"If Brother Hao had taught us Pai Gow earlier, that boy Wang Li wouldn't have been injured..."
Just when Zhao Hao was sighing, Gong Ziliang on the side suddenly said something with emotion.
Wang Li?
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, vaguely remembering such a person.
