As more and more people gathered around Zhao Hao, his mentality began to change.
Not that he wants to compete for that position.
Instead, you have to consider the future of those around you.
Now, he finally understood why Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution.
The reason is that the people around him need a way out that can see the future.
If he doesn't fight or grab, the fate of those around him can be imagined.
The so-called situation is compelling, and this is probably the case.
However, Zhao Hao and Li Shimin are also different. Li Shimin's eldest brother Li Jiancheng may not necessarily treat his younger brother well.
And Fusu will definitely treat Zhao Hao kindly.
Even the people around Zhao Hao will not be dealt with on unfounded charges.
Therefore, Zhao Hao always held a trace of luck in his heart that he could "hand off the shopkeeper".
But Xiao He and Chen Ping didn't think so.
They feel that the person they follow should be the master of the world, otherwise they will not be able to realize their ambitions.
This is why they forced Zhao Hao to compete for that position.
Although Zhao Hao did not agree to them, he also expressed his thoughts: If his brother can't do it, he will do it himself.
In fact, judging from the current development of Da Qin, Da Qin can no longer do without Zhao Hao.
As long as Ying Zheng's successor is not Zhao Hao, many of Da Qin's problems will resurface.
To put it bluntly, if Fusu dominates the world, it may be difficult to convince the public.
Especially the young people, such as Wang Li, Meng Meng, Yang Cen, Li Zhan, Bai Zhong, Zhang Han, many of them are classmates and friends of Zhao Hao.
Once these people grow up, basically half of the Qin Dynasty will belong to Zhao Hao.
Plus Wang Wan, Zhang Cang and other veterans of the empire.
If Fusu can do it, there will be ghosts.
Therefore, Xiao He and others smiled heartily when they heard Zhao Hao's words.
They are not afraid that Zhao Hao is not interested in that position, but they are afraid that Zhao Hao will be stubborn.
Obviously, Zhao Hao is not a fool yet and has not blocked his own way.
Xiao He and Chen Ping, who saw a glimmer of hope, also successfully boarded Zhao Hao's carriage.
After getting on Zhao Hao's carriage and chatting briefly, Xiao He and Zhao Hao looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was indescribably awkward.
Chen Ping wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by the awkward atmosphere.
After a while of hesitation, Xiao He finally said what he wanted to say.
But I heard him say: "Sir, you must also know that we followed a Sishui pavilion chief named Liu Ji to join you. He admires your talents very much."
"hehe."
When Zhao Hao heard this, he smiled slightly and secretly thought that what was supposed to come had come.
However, this matter must be resolved eventually.
Just talk openly and honestly, maybe you can win some people's hearts.
"I've heard about Liu Ji's incident. I'm sorry that they suffered an unreasonable disaster."
Zhao Hao said sincerely, then changed the topic and said: "But don't worry, I have sent people to find them. As long as there is news about them, I will notify you immediately;
In addition, I also informed the Prime Minister's Office about the magistrate Wang of Peixian County and tried to find a way to transfer him to Xianyang. Even if Liu Ji and the others return to Peixian County, they will not be embarrassed by him! "
"this"
Xiao He and Chen Ping looked at each other, neither of them seemed to have expected that Zhao Hao would make such thorough arrangements.
I just heard that this person came to seek refuge with him, so I paid so much attention to him. I have to say that Gongzi Hao really lived up to his reputation.
"Xiao is relieved because of the young master's words. Otherwise, we all come to join the young master, but we are left to serve the young master. Their lives and deaths are unknown, and Xiao is really uneasy."
Xiao He cupped his hands and said.
Zhao Hao smiled and said with emotion: "I heard Cao Shen and others mention the story of Mr. Xiao and Liu Tingzhang a lot. I really envy your friendship;
I hope we can build a deep friendship in the future.”
"this"
Xiao He couldn't help but be speechless.
He didn't know why Zhao Hao valued him so much, but every word Zhao Hao said was sincere and convinced him.
Seeing that Xiao He was unable to speak for a moment, Zhao Hao turned his attention to Chen Ping and joked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, having your help is like a fish in water!"
"Young Master is joking. Chen Ping is just a Guizhou leader. He is the only one who is lucky to be respected by the Young Master!"
After hearing Zhao Hao's words, Chen Ping bowed his hands to him humbly.
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head, then said sternly: "To be honest, I heard that you are an official candidate for examination, so I asked someone to investigate your file."
"ah?"
Chen Ping was startled when he heard this and said quickly: "Sir, please listen to my explanation."
"Mr. Chen, don't be nervous."
Zhao Hao raised his hand to stop what Chen Ping wanted to say, looked at him with stern eyes, and said word by word: "I am not the kind of person who listens to others, nor am I the kind of person with high moral standards. You don't have to give me anything." Explain, I will always believe you!"
"Son."
Chen Ping suddenly choked up.
The reason why he was afraid of Zhao Hao investigating him was because there was a 'rumor' that became the biggest stain in his life.
When Chen Ping was young, his family was very poor, but he loved studying. His brother doted on him very much, so he took on the farm work at home alone.
Chen Ping, who was idle at home all day long, gradually became out of tune with the people in the village, especially because he was handsome and often alone with his sister-in-law.
Over time, people in the village began to spread rumors that he was having an affair with his sister-in-law.
Later, Chen Ping's sister-in-law couldn't stand the gossip from the villagers, so she complained to brother Chen Ping that he shouldn't dote on his brother so much.
As a result, brother Chen Ping not only did not reduce his love for his younger brother, but also kicked his wife out of the house because she was causing trouble.
From then on, the gangsters in the village began to spread rumors that Chen Ping was a "stealer of his wife", but his brother discovered it. The elder brother beat his wife away out of consideration for the Chen family's reputation.
Later, Liu Bang almost refused Chen Ping to serve him because of this matter.
After all, even a scoundrel like Liu Bang would never do such a destructive thing to society.
However, this matter hardly stands up to scrutiny.
Let’s not talk about how handsome Chen Ping is, let’s talk about Chen Ping’s family conditions. The daughter his brother married is just a girl from a farmer’s family.
A woman from a peasant family, no matter how beautiful she was, was definitely not something Chen Ping, who was well-read in poetry and books, could fall in love with.
Chen Ping's choice of wife is very interesting.
It is said that Chen Ping's wife's first five husbands were all 'killed' by her, but Chen Ping did not believe in that evil and was determined to be her sixth husband.
As a result, Chen Ping's wife, since marrying Chen Ping, seemed to have suddenly changed from a 'kefu' physique to a 'prosperous husband' physique.
Chen Ping also embarked on the road of stardom in life.
This is like the Lu horse that is "an obstacle to the Lord". Whoever rides it will die, but it does not delay Liu Bei from riding it and becoming famous.
Zhao Hao naturally knew Chen Ping's deeds very well, so he believed in Chen Ping's character without Chen Ping's explanation.
After all, most of the strategies Chen Ping used were very vicious and despised, and it was normal for people to maliciously spread rumors.
However, Zhao Hao liked Chen Ping very much and would do anything to achieve his goals.
"Mr. Chen, let's not talk about the past. Let's focus on the present!"
Zhao Hao waited for Chen Ping to regain his mood before he said solemnly: "Before Cao Shen and Lu Wan came to me, I arranged things for them. If you go to me, I will also arrange things for you. At present, Mr. Xiao's affairs, We will make arrangements after returning to Xianyang. As for you, I want to ask about your wishes first!"
"Young master, it doesn't matter. As long as Chen Ping can do it, he will definitely try his best!"
After Chen Ping calmed down, he said solemnly.
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, and then said: "Actually, I have always wanted to form an intelligence agency, which is a force responsible for intelligence investigation, case tracking, and assassination of important enemy figures!"
"this"
Chen Ping's pupils shrank suddenly and he subconsciously looked at Xiao He, only to see that Xiao He was not only not surprised, but also showed a somewhat appreciative look.
Thinking about it, he would rather stay in the small Peixian County, drink and talk with Liu Bang than get promoted, how could he be willing to join a mediocre person?
But the far-sighted Young Master Hao in front of him was becoming more and more to his liking.
But will the First Emperor recognize this power?
If this force is not recognized by the First Emperor and becomes the fuel of the rebellion, it will be troublesome.
Seemingly seeing through Xiao He's worries and Chen Ping's confusion, Zhao Hao smiled and explained his plan to them.
Zhao Hao does not advocate violence, but he needs intelligence agencies like the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei and Dongchang to find out information for him and provide him with detailed intelligence.
Considering that Da Qin currently has the intelligence agency Black Ice Platform, Zhao Hao will encounter greater resistance if he establishes a new intelligence agency.
Therefore, he wanted to add a new yamen in the name of the Prime Minister's Office, called the Daqin Security Bureau.
The Security Bureau is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office, but is actually controlled by Zhao Hao. However, in order to avoid panic in the Great Qin court, Zhao Hao plans to put a layer of disguise on the Security Bureau.
For example, he is responsible for preventing and cracking down on behaviors that endanger the stability of Daqin, and carrying out hidden front work against the enemy.
Among them, the enemies mainly refer to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
Therefore, the Daqin Security Bureau became the government agency that maintained the security of Daqin.
As for spying on intelligence, investigating military situations, monitoring news, etc., they are naturally done to protect the security of Daqin.
In addition, in order for Ying Zheng to recognize this yamen and believe that this yamen will not have too much power, Zhao Hao will ask Ying Zheng for an order. Without his permission or Zhao Hao's permission, the Security Bureau shall not arrest, detain, or interrogate any official without authorization.
In other words, both Black Ice Platform and the Security Bureau are in the hands of Zhao Hao and Ying Zheng, and both of them only have investigative power and no action power.
If arrest or interrogation is necessary, Zhao Hao and Ying Zheng must agree before action can be taken.
Along the way, Zhao Hao had a pleasant conversation with Xiao He and Chen Ping.
In particular, Chen Ping's vision for intelligence work was mostly beyond this era, which made Zhao Hao very fond of it and told him some cases of intelligence work in later generations.
But Chen Ping can always digest and absorb it well and draw inferences from one example to other cases.
Having said this, Zhao Hao had to lament Xiang Yu's unlucky character.
Chen Ping, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang in history all followed Xiang Yu.
Not to mention Zhang Liang and Han Xin, let's just say that Chen Ping, a 'big boss' in the calculation world, was forced to leave because of slander. It is really incredible.
In fact, looking at history, it is not difficult to find that Xiang Yu's physique at that time was definitely at the level of a European emperor, and the people he attracted were basically top talents.
But European Emperor and European Emperor are not the same.
An European emperor like Liu Xiu is directly beyond the scope of human beings. Even the time travelers dare not conceal their edge even if they are warned by a large meteorite technique.
Because they were too involved in the conversation, time passed quickly. Before Zhao Hao and others were satisfied, the convoy had already arrived outside Xianyang City.
But he heard Mond, who was guarding Zhao Hao, remind him softly: "Sir, we are here."
"Um?"
Zhao Hao reacted for a moment, and immediately opened the carriage window and looked at the majestic Xianyang City in front of him. He couldn't help but laugh excitedly: "Haha, I'm finally back!"
In the two carriages following Zhao Hao, someone poked their head out and looked around.
At this time, Mond spoke again: "Sir, should we go back to the palace first, or should we go to Liuhe Residence to catch the wind and wash away the dust?"
"We must go to Liuheju!"
Zhao Hao said without thinking: "I have been away from Xianyang for so long and I haven't had a good meal. Can't I enjoy it when I come back?"
"Moreover."
After saying this, Zhao Hao glanced at Chen Ping, who also stuck his head out, and said with a smile: "There are new people joining, why should we celebrate!"
"Okay, I'll arrange some private rooms now."
"Wait a moment!"
"Do you have any other instructions, Master?"
Mond, who was about to jump off the carriage, was slightly startled and couldn't help but look back at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen Zhongxian and the others for a long time. Send a message to Zhang Han for me. Tell him that I am going to build the Academy of Sciences and the Imperial Institute of Technology. I am in urgent need of servants and ask him to give Zhongxian and the others to me." Send it back."
"this"
Mond hesitated and said: "Your Majesty's side."
"Without further ado!"
Zhao Hao flicked his sleeves and directly interrupted what Mond wanted to say, and said proudly: "I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Haven't you heard that the sky is high and the emperor is far away?"
"Master, be careful what you say!"
When Mond heard Zhao Hao's words, he couldn't help being startled. He quickly raised his hand to indicate to him, and looked around, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was surrounded by Zhao Hao's people.
If everyone was as bold as Zhao Hao, the grass on the grave would probably be tall.
Fortunately, Ying Zheng dotes on Zhao Hao, otherwise Zhao Hao would have to go to prison to see his brothers just based on these words.
"Okay, okay, I scared you so much, go and come back quickly!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand in a funny manner as he was still frightened by the sight.
Soon, Mond left the convoy.
Not long after Mond left, Han Xin rode up to Zhao Hao again, cupped his hands and said to Zhao Hao: "Young Master, I am going to arrange defense at the end of the day, so I won't go into the city with you."
"good!"
Zhao Hao responded readily, then suddenly thought of something and added: "Since the emperor's uncle has not made a decision, then put Ying Hao and others into the prison of Tingwei Mansion and let Tingwei Yao Jia choose a day for interrogation!"
"yes."
Han Xin responded and rode out of the convoy.
When only Zhao Hao's carriage, Chu Xiaoyao's brother and sister's carriage, and Xiao He and Chen Ping's carriage were left at the city gate, Zhao Hao gave the order loudly: "Enter the city!"
Sorry, it's late again today.
You know that moving is very troublesome and requires all kinds of packing.
Sorry, sorry, I won’t ask for monthly tickets today.
