Standing at the door of the prison, Zhao Hao looked back at the Xianyang Palace in the distance.
At that time, the reason why he wanted to dig a tunnel to escape from the palace was because he somewhat hated his own fate, just as he somewhat hated Xiang Yu and his group.
After all, they were the ones who destroyed the Qin Dynasty.
Suddenly, more than three years later, the initial uneasiness and panic turned into indifferent thoughts.
Taking charge of power this time gave Zhao Hao a magical feeling about power.
He gradually understood why so many people in history were so crazy about power that they even turned against brothers and fought between fathers and sons.
Because power can turn clouds and rain, it can turn white into black, it can turn heroes into criminals, it can uproot all those who threaten it, it can infinitely magnify its desires and unleash them to its fullest.
Even if this person does not have any desires, he can still have a dirty mind and satisfy himself openly...
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but blush a little, and another voice sounded in his heart: "No, Zhao Hao is not fulfilling his selfish desires, Zhao Hao wants to save the Qin Dynasty from destruction. Zhao Hao just wants to be a useless prince who just eats and waits for death. ....."
"Clang!"
Opening the door of the cell, a pungent smell hit his face, making Zhao Hao cough lightly.
He originally thought that this cell was a cell where officials from the world were imprisoned, and the environment would not be too bad.
No matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than the cell where Miss Ruyi is imprisoned.
But going deep into the cell directly refreshed Zhao Hao's understanding of the cell.
There are not only long corridors here, but also various unpleasant smells.
"Is this the best cell in the Lieutenant's Mansion?"
Zhao Hao suddenly stopped and asked the warden.
The warden replied respectfully: "Sir, this is the best cell."
"..."
Zhao Hao frowned, said nothing, and glanced at Mond behind him.
Mond immediately understood and asked two guards to block the jailer in the corridor, leaving only the jailer and him to escort Zhao Hao forward.
At this time, under the oil lamp in the cell, the four brothers were sitting in four corners, and no one paid any attention to the other.
Since Miss Ruyi was arrested, Xiang Yu took advantage of the chaos to escape from Xianyang City, and they were also imprisoned in a cell by Yang Duanhe.
Although Yang Duanhe did not report the matter to Ying Zheng, paper could not cover up the anger after all.
They knew very well that once Ying Zheng knew about this, Ying Zheng would definitely deal with them in accordance with national laws.
After all, they are not Zhao Hao, and they don't have that much ability to let Ying Zheng show mercy to them outside the law.
What's more, this matter is no small matter.
Although they did not know that Xiang Yu was in the box or even the true identity of Ruyi girl, they did send the box out of the city with Ruyi girl.
No matter which angle you look at this matter from, the suspicion that they are colluding with the remnants of the Six Nations is firmly established.
From the moment they entered the cell, they knew they were doomed.
Therefore, everyone remained silent and quietly waited for Ying Zheng's order.
Suddenly, they heard footsteps and familiar voices.
The four of them looked at each other, stood up from the ground, and looked outside the cell fence.
"Clang!"
The warden opened the cell bars and left.
Mond stood at the door, silently scanning the four brothers in the cell.
Young Master Liang smiled: "But Brother Mengde? Are you okay?"
Mond had no interface and slowly moved away, revealing a weak figure.
"Brothers, Hao is here."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to them: "Hao is here to apologize to all the royal brothers!"
Gong Ziliang's surprise disappeared in a flash, and he took the lead to step forward and help Zhao Hao up: "Brother Hao, why did you say this? There are many things in the world that are unexpected, so how can we talk about guilt and fault?
If Brother Hao sends us out of the city, I'm afraid the four of us will not be the only ones detained here today..."
Zhao Hao heard this,
He sighed helplessly: "Brothers, you didn't blame Hao. Hao felt a lot more relaxed. It's just that the current situation is really difficult to get off..."
"this...."
The four brothers looked at each other and couldn't help but darken their eyes.
They naturally knew their situation, so they had no way to speak.
After a long while, Young Master Gao smiled bitterly, broke the embarrassment, and said to Zhao Hao:
"Brother Hao, there is no need to bend the law for personal gain. If we make a big mistake, we will bear the consequences. If our father leaves this matter to Brother Hao, we will not bear any grudge against Brother Hao..."
After hearing this, the young master Jiang Lu and the young master Ronglu also raised their hands to Zhao Hao: "We are willing to accept the law..."
"Brothers, you..."
Zhao Hao stopped joking and waved his hand:
"I came here not on the orders of my father, but to help the four royal brothers atone for their sins..."
"Brother Hao is interested!"
Young Master Gao smiled slightly, but he was surprised by Zhao Hao's friendship. After pondering for a moment, he said:
"That girl Ruyi is not only the number one in Chunmian Tower, but the power behind her is also vast..."
"Well, you continue."
Zhao Hao was very satisfied with Gongzi Gao's knowledge and interests.
This way he doesn't have to beat around the bush and try to trick them.
Gong Ziliang took a step forward and said, "Although I like that girl Ruyi, I value the interests behind her more!"
"Oh? What benefits?"
Zhao Hao looked at Gong Ziliang with curious eyes.
He knew that his ninth brother was by no means the kind of person who was simply greedy for beauty.
Because pure greed for beauty is not enough to win over the other three brothers.
Only interests will bind them together.
But I heard Gong Ziliang say again: "When Miss Ruyi first came into contact with me and Brother Six, we suspected that there was something wrong with her because she always asked us about Brother Hao..."
"Um?"
Zhao Hao was slightly stunned and looked at Gong Ziliang in surprise.
Gong Ziliang looked back at him and said with emotion:
"Although Hao Di is short in stature, looks like a seven or eight-year-old child, and doesn't care much about beauty, Hao Di..."
"Okay, okay, I know I'm very attractive, don't mention my figure, just focus on the main point!"
Zhao Hao's face dropped and he interrupted Gong Ziliang impatiently.
He hated this kind of gossiping.
However, Gong Ziliang couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Hao, don't worry, you will grow taller..."
"Hmph, it's not over, right?"
"Okay, okay, don't talk, I'll tell you!"
Seeing that Young Master Liang had not mentioned the main point for a long time and even annoyed Zhao Hao, Young Master General Lu stood up.
But I heard him say: "Actually, the benefits here cover many aspects. What makes us most excited is the support of the old nobles!"
Old noble?
Zhao Hao frowned.
He never thought that there would be something involving the old noble.
The so-called old nobles are actually a large clan group composed of the descendants of successive Qin kings.
Although this clan group was suppressed by Ying Zheng, there are still undercurrents inside.
The old aristocrats have always been rejuvenating, and when their internal strength is insufficient, they will resort to external forces. Now that the Qin State has unified the world and the situation is stable, no one supports the old aristocrats anymore.
At this time, external force is the only way.
And the external force is not elsewhere, just in Xianyang.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "Could Ying Chengyu be in collusion with the old noble?"
"Ying Chengyu?!"
The four brothers were shocked when they heard Zhao Hao's words.
Zhao Hao glanced at them and said tentatively: "It is said that Ying Chengyu has a son. Do you know who he is?"
"What?!"
Four brothers reunited again
Surprised: "Uncle Chengyu actually has a son!?"
Seeing how fussy they were, Zhao Hao couldn't help but raise his hands to his forehead, shook his head and sighed: "I shouldn't have come to you..."
"No, Brother Hao, you said Uncle Cheng is still alive?"
Young Master Gao said quickly.
Zhao Hao said "hmm" and didn't want to talk more, so he directly changed the subject and said, "What is the relationship between Miss Ruyi and the old noble?"
"this....."
Young Master Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that she is the illegitimate daughter of a certain young master..."
"What sir?"
"He is the son of the late King Zhaoxiang!"
Gong Ziliang answered quickly, then suddenly thought of something and asked Zhao Hao: "What did you do to her?"
Zhao Hao waved his hand and said: "Nothing, we will handle it according to the national law..."
Gong Ziliang nodded and said: "She colluded with the remnants of the six countries. It is just right to deal with her according to the national laws. As long as she is not tortured, the young master will not bear any grudge against Hao Di..."
"Well....."
Zhao Hao's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Young Master Ronglu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I think there may be some connection between Miss Ruyi and Ziying..."
"Um?"
Hearing this, the four people, including Zhao Hao, were stunned.
But I saw Young Master Ronglu stepping forward and saying in a low voice:
"One time I went to Chunmian Tower to look for Brother Jiu, and I accidentally saw Ziying walking out of Miss Ruyi's room..."
Buzz!
When Gong Ziliang heard this, his head was buzzing as if he had been struck by lightning.
Zhao Hao, Young Master Gao and others only felt a green light coming from above his head.
After a while, he roared like thunder: "This ***——!"
"Oh, why are you shouting so loudly? If you want to live a decent life, you must have some green on your head. It won't get in the way..."
Zhao Hao covered his ears and comforted Gong Ziliang in a funny way.
Young Master Liang glanced at him angrily, then suddenly looked at Young Master Ronglu, gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"I gave you a hint..."
"when?"
"It was the night you got drunk..."
Gong Ziliang: "..."
Young Master Ronglu: "..."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a while, Gongzi Liang silently walked towards the fence, bumped his head against the fence, and said angrily: "What a sin!
I have been really unlucky for eight lifetimes, and I suffered at the hands of that ***..."
"*** Ziying, how dare you bully me like this... You and I are at odds with each other!"
After saying that, he banged the fence "bang bang bang", looking very distressed.
When Zhao Hao, Young Master Gao and others saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
After a while, Zhao Hao asked Young Master Ronglu: "Brother Twelve, you said you saw Ziying walking out of Miss Ruyi's room. Were they talking and laughing, or were they in a hurry..."
"Well...."
Young Master Ronglu grinned and thought to himself, "What the hell is this?" A man walked out of a woman's room, naturally he still had more to say...
Hey, that's not right...
Listening to Zhao Hao questioning himself, Young Master Ronglu thought about it carefully and found something fishy. He muttered:
"I saw Ziying walking out of Miss Ruyi's room. He looked flustered and his eyes were red, as if he had cried..."
"oh?"
Zhao Hao's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested: "Did you say that Ziying cried in Miss Ruyi's room?"
"It seems so, but I'm not sure..."
Young Master Ronglu nodded, shook his head, and then changed the subject: "However, it is true that he looked flustered, because he didn't even know he had dropped the jade pendant..."
"Jade pendant? What jade pendant?"
Zhao Hao asked curiously.
"This is it...."
Young Master Ronglu took off a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but murmured to himself: "This jade pendant looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere..."
"Let me see!"
The young master stepped forward and took the jade pendant, looked at it for a while, and said with surprise on his face: "It looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere..."
"let me see!"
Gongzi Liang, who was "inconsolable with grief and anger", came over.
With just one glance, he revealed the origin of the jade pendant: "Isn't this my father's jade pendant?"
"Father?"
Zhao Hao and the other three were all surprised.
But I heard Gong Ziliang say very confidently: "Yes, this is the jade pendant that the imperial grandmother gave to the father. I heard my mother-in-law said that there are two of these jade pendants, one for the father and one for the uncle. ..."
"You said Ying Chengyu has a jade pendant like this?"
Zhao Hao seemed to have grasped some key point and asked eagerly.
Gong Ziliang glanced at him, touched his chin and said, "I think so. My mother-in-law will not lie to me..."
I wipe it!
This is crazy!
Could that Ziying be Ying Chengyu's son? !
Zhao Hao was shocked and froze on the spot without saying a word.
The senior brothers looked at him doubtfully and wanted to ask, but they didn't know what to ask.
After a while, Mond's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Sir, our time is up, it's time to leave here."
"Um?"
When Zhao Hao heard Mond's voice, he slowly came back to his senses, glanced at the four brothers with complex eyes, and bowed: "If my father asked Hao to deal with the four brothers in accordance with the national law, it would be forced by the situation. I hope the four brothers Brother understands..."
"Brother Hao dealt with us in accordance with the laws of the country, but in fact he was attacking the old nobles. Although we value the interests of the old nobles, we can still distinguish between right and wrong. Why should we blame Brother Hao?"
Young Master Gao is open-minded and clear-minded from his heart.
Zhao Hao sighed lightly and bowed again: "Four royal brothers, don't worry, Hao will definitely save your lives..."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cell.
At this moment, Gong Ziliang took a few steps forward and said quickly: "Brother Hao, wait a moment, I have something to say to you!"
"Um?"
Zhao Hao paused, looked up at Mond, then turned to look at Gong Ziliang: "Brother Ninth, what else can you do?"
"Hey, it's not convenient here, let's take a step to talk!"
Young Master Liang smiled coquettishly, and without waiting for Zhao Hao's consent, he took care of himself and pulled him away.
The young master in the cell is three tall, you look at me, I look at you, there are fruits on the trees.
But when he saw Gong Ziliang looking around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said: "Brother Hao, there is something I didn't tell you. The business that Miss Ruyi introduced me to is related to some ministers in the court... .”
"what business?"
"Selling an official position..."
"you!"
Zhao Hao was stunned, thinking to himself, you really dare to do this!
When Ying Zheng asked him how he could make money so quickly, he told Ying Zheng that selling his official position was the fastest way.
Ying Zheng almost drew his sword and slashed him.
If Ying Zheng learns that Gong Ziliang has sold his official position, he will be forced to give him a "killing son to prove the tyrant".
Seeing Zhao Hao's expression gloomy and uncertain, Gong Ziliang defended himself again:
"I just use my name to help them make connections, and I don't participate in others. But as far as I know, the people they sell are all county officials..."
"Aren't minor county officials officials?!"
Zhao Hao said angrily: "You can tell me if you are short of money. How can you do such a thing?"
"No, I'm not really short of money, I'm just thinking about our future!"
"What us? That's yours
What does it have to do with me? "
"What's mine is also yours, we are brothers."
Gong Ziliang said sincerely.
Zhao Hao felt a little dumbfounded in his heart, but he asked coldly: "Then the throne is also ours?"
"hehe...."
Gong Ziliang raised his head and smiled, then shook his head slightly: "This is the only thing I cannot give in to."
"I don't want it either..."
Zhao Haodu muttered, took two steps forward, stopped again and said:
"You are being honest, but I still feel that there is no reason to help you. I originally planned to wait until death and find a chance to leave Xianyang. Then I would travel around the world, not caring about anything, and be happy and carefree..."
Gong Ziliang said noncommittally: "There is a saying that the mother is more valuable than the son, especially if you are born in the royal family. Your mother's family is not strong, so we were looked down upon in the palace at a young age. From that time on, I secretly swore that as long as If you have an opportunity, you have to fight for it.”
"Why should a mother be more valuable than her son..."
Zhao Hao curled his lips and said with disdain: "Father doesn't care about this at all, what he cares about is ability!"
"Since Brother Hao knows my father so well and is so capable, why don't you fight?"
The corners of Gong Ziliang's mouth raised slightly, showing an indescribable evil charm.
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"but."
Gongzi Liang continued: "It seems interesting to compete for that position, but helping someone become emperor with your own hands sounds good too."
After saying this, he looked at Zhao Hao with burning eyes and said, "Brother Hao, I want to help you!"
"you...."
Zhao Hao's eyes widened and he was at a loss. He finally choked out: "You are crazy!"
"Hahaha....."
Young Master Liang laughed loudly.
.....
Please give me a monthly pass.
