"What are you doing here?"
Ying Zheng asked solemnly.
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Zhao Tuo has begun to attack the city. I am worried that my father is in danger, so I came to take a look..."
Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally, then walked out of the pavilion and looked down the mountain. Sure enough, he saw the fighting at the foot of the mountain. He frowned and said, "How long are you going to keep up this farce?"
"What my father said is that their rebellion was caused by their ambitions and has nothing to do with me..."
Zhao Hao took a few steps forward and said aggrievedly: "I'm just following the trend!"
"What I'm asking is, when will this farce end?"
"this"
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, scratched his head and said, "I originally planned to just do it for a few days, but someone sent me a message today, saying that Zhao Gao was cooperating with Zhao Tuo to poison the soldiers and civilians of Linchen City..."
Ying Zheng sneered: "So you believe it?"
"Um?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and a little surprised: "Could it be that my father already knew this?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Hao and said calmly:
"Someone contacted Zhao Gao that night, and my people discovered it immediately, but we just didn't know what they were going to do."
"Later, today, Zhao Gao suddenly said that there was a hot spring for me to soak in. I thought he might have some plan, so I followed him to the mountain. Unexpectedly, I met Mrs. Zhao Tuo on the way and learned that you had captured them. Wife, children, old and young;
I guess you want Zhao Gao to use Mrs. Zhao Tuo to stir up hatred between me and Zhao Tuo, so that Zhao Gao can reap the benefits and escape from Linchen City, right? "
"this……"
Zhao Hao was speechless, wondering, is the First Emperor's father so awesome?
Ever since he learned that Ying Zheng had written an edict to Zhao Gao to establish the crown prince, he had been wondering, would Zhao Gao follow the same old path in history?
If Zhao Gao leaves, what benefits will he gain?
Obviously, there are many benefits, such as using Zhao Gao's evil trend to bring trouble to the Qin Dynasty and clearing away the evil spirits in Xianyang and even the world.
After all, Zhao Gao's success in history was not all because of him and Li Si. There must be interest groups involved.
Therefore, Zhao Gao's ability to follow the old path in history is not only what Zhao Hao expected, but also what Ying Zheng wanted to see, otherwise Ying Zheng would not have written that edict.
Perhaps in Ying Zheng's heart, he still didn't believe how much trouble a eunuch could cause, but once suspicion arose, it would not disappear so easily, so he couldn't help but cooperate with Zhao Hao's plan.
However, after Zhao Gao received the edict, he still did not move, indicating that deep down in his heart he was still afraid of the living Ying Zheng.
As a result, the plan came to a standstill, and an opportunity had to arise for him to make up his mind.
So, this opportunity lies with Ying Zheng.
Once Zhao Gao accepts Yan Le's proposal and dedicates Mrs. Zhao Tuo to Ying Zheng, Zhao Tuo will be furious and attack the city with all his strength. At that time, he will use some tricks to allow Zhao Tuo to capture Linchen City, causing Ying Zheng to disappear, or else With the faked death situation, the whole plan would be perfect.
It's a pity that Zhao Gao is such a thief that he didn't fall for the trick.
Sighing secretly in his heart, Zhao Hao reluctantly bowed his hands and said, "Father is wise!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he ignored Zhao Hao and continued: "You kidnapped their wives, children, and children. Aren't you afraid of ruining your own innocent reputation?"
"My family has a clean reputation?"
Zhao Hao didn't care: "Do I have that thing? Besides, why should I be innocent?"
"Can the word "innocent" exchange for a hundred years of peace in my country, or can it exchange for the unification of Baiyue?"
Moral kidnapping, I have no morals, who can kidnap me?
Character collapse?
As the son of the First Emperor, what kind of personality can I have?
Ying Zheng: "."
Ying Zheng: "Zhao Gao did not do what you wished, nor what Zhao Tuo wished. He did not dedicate Mrs. Zhao Tuo to me, nor did he poison her."
Having said this, he looked at Zhao Hao calmly: "Then is he loyal or traitorous?"
Zhao Hao scratched his head subconsciously, smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Father is wise!"
"Can you say anything else besides this?"
"Father, good luck!"
"you!"
Ying Zheng was angry for a moment and waved his hands indifferently: "Forget it, I won't argue with you. Just leave Zhao Gao's matter alone and go back first!"
"go back?"
Zhao Hao tilted his head: "Where to go back? The city is under attack at the foot of the mountain!"
"Hmph! They are all my army. Do I allow them to rebel?"
"Father..."
"Um?"
"You're so pretentious"
"Are you itchy again?"
"Long live my father, I retire!"
Seeing Ying Zheng raise his big hand again, Zhao Hao quickly covered his buttocks, ran a few meters away, and led Chen Ping and others down the mountain.
"This brat."
Ying Zheng watched Zhao Hao leave and cursed in a funny way. Then he looked at Zhao Gao in the distance and calmly shouted: "Zhao Gao!"
"The old slave is here!"
Zhao Gao heard Ying Zheng's shout and hurriedly came to him, bowed and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Go and bring Mrs. Zhao Tuo!"
"ah?"
Zhao Gao was a little confused and didn't seem to react.
But I heard Ying Zheng say again: "By the way, bring Mrs. Ren Xiao with me."
"this"
Zhao Gao had a puzzled look on his face, and then he reminded him as if he remembered something: "Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo and the others have begun to attack the city."
"What are you afraid of? I want to hang out for a while longer!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand impatiently, and Zhao Gao left the top of the mountain knowingly.
At this time, Tang Sui came over and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, I found a rebel scout at the foot of the mountain. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
"Um."
Ying Zheng nodded, as if he didn't care, and then glanced at the direction Zhao Gao was leaving, and said calmly:
"Send someone to secretly inform Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao that Zhao Gao has dedicated their wife to me!"
"ah?"
Tang Sui was startled and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but saw Ying Zheng interrupting him with an unquestionable wave of his hand: "Go quickly!"
"But."
"Go if you are told, stop talking nonsense!"
"promise!"
Watching Tang Sui leave the top of the mountain with a puzzled look on his face, Ying Zheng's eyes gradually blurred, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Are you innocent? I don't seem to be very clean at all!"
the other side.
At the foot of Linchen City.
Although waves of attacks were repelled, Zhao Tuo felt as stable as an old dog.
As the former actual controller of Linchen City, he was well aware of Linchen City's food storage.
After leaving Linchen City, even if Wang Jian had great abilities, he would not be able to produce more food out of thin air. Linchen City would not be able to sustain it for a few days.
As for the Yangjiaoshan camp, which was twenty miles away, the food road had been blocked by him long before he ordered the attack on Linchen City.
Therefore, he was full of confidence: "In three days at most, Linchen City will collapse without attack!"
"General!"
At this moment, Ren Xiao rushed over in a hurry: "Something big happened!"
"What big thing could it be?"
Ren Xiao sneered disdainfully: "The old general is already old and can't stop us. Even if Zhao Hao returns from Shipu for reinforcements, it will take three days to get back."
"It's not the old general, it's not Zhao Hao, it's Zhao Gao. He dedicated our wife to His Majesty!"
Zhao Tuo couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Ren Xiao directly.
"What do you think I am doing!?"
Zhao Tuo jumped up in shock, his face changed drastically: "How is this possible?"
He never dreamed that Zhao Gao would betray them and do such a shameless thing at this critical moment!
"Come here! Attack the city with all your strength and capture Zhao Gao alive! I will kill him with a thousand knives!"
Zhao Tuo roared angrily, and the army behind him suddenly swarmed up.
"What's going on? Why did Zhao Tuo go crazy and attack the city?"
Wang Jian stood on the city wall, looking puzzled at the rebels pouring under the city.
Originally, both sides were very restrained, but now Zhao Tuo suddenly exerted force, and the pressure on the city suddenly surged.
At this time, Wu Nian ran up from a distance with a disgraced face: "Old General, what should we do now?"
"Those with armor and shields will defend against the wall. Those with armor and shields will then take their place. Those without armor and shields will lie down under the wall and use the cover to defend!"
Wang Jian gave the order decisively, and then organized the crossbowmen to quickly counterattack.
At the same time, in the mountains behind Linchen City.
Zhao Gao also learned about Zhao Tuo's crazy attack on the city and threatened to kill him. He couldn't help but cursed with an ugly face: "Damn Zhao Tuo, I have no enmity with him. Just because I didn't cooperate with him in poisoning, I wanted to kill him." kill me?"
"Master, there is something fishy about this matter. How about I go out and investigate?"
Gao Yao asked with a frown.
Zhao Gao glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Idiot! Your Majesty is staring at us now. If you go out, wouldn't you tell Your Majesty clearly that we are colluding with Zhao Tuo?"
"However, Linchen City will be captured by Zhao Tuo sooner or later. Shouldn't we stay here and wait for death?"
"With Your Majesty here, what are you afraid of? Is it possible that Zhao Tuo really dares to kill Your Majesty?"
"What if, what if Zhao Tuo dares to risk the disapproval of the world, kill His Majesty, and then put the blame on you, or Zhao Hao, who knows?"
"this"
Zhao Gao was speechless and seemed a little worried about this situation.
But he glanced at the direction of the top of the mountain and murmured thoughtfully: "If your majesty had fornicated Zhao Tuo, Ren Xiao's wife might really be killed. However, I can't figure out why your majesty did this."
"What's the point? Which emperor doesn't get confused when he becomes famous?"
Gao Yao sneered and said, "Maybe your Majesty has been suffocating during his stay in the South China Sea!"
"Shut up!"
Zhao Gao scolded Gao Yao and said with a stern face: "If Your Majesty were a fool like you, Da Qin would have been destroyed by the Six Kingdoms long ago. Why are you talking about unifying the Six Kingdoms and conquering Baiyue!"
"."
Gao Yao was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Gao glanced at him and then changed the subject: "Where is Yan Le?"
"I tied him up, and now he's on the carriage!"
"Go and untie him and bring him here. I have something to ask him."
Gao Yao said with some confusion: "Master is not worried about him colluding with Zhao Hao?"
"If my guess is correct, this must be Zhao Hao's trick again. Bring him here, don't say anything, and let me ask him!" Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes.
"promise."
Gao Yao's eyes lit up and he accepted the offer and left.
Not long after, Yan Le was brought to Zhao Gao by Gao Yao.
Looking at Yan Le, who was in a mess and had obviously been beaten, Zhao Gao asked expressionlessly: "Yan Le, I treated you well before and even married my daughter to you. How long have you been following Zhao Hao? You actually colluded with him and deceived your father-in-law?"
"My father-in-law is wronged. My son-in-law did not deceive you intentionally. It is Zhao Hao who has many tricks. If my son-in-law does not agree with him, I am afraid it will be difficult to see my father-in-law alive!"
Yan Le knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
The Gao Yao on the side looked full of disdain: "Who would believe what you said? You also said that you let the master reap the benefits of others. Do you think the master is the same as you? I don't think you can come up with such a plan by looking at your brain? Idiot! "
Zhao Gao: "."
Yan Le: "Who do you think you are? What does my matter with my father-in-law have to do with a dog like yours? I can't just ignore it!"
"Hey, are you looking for death? Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"Come on, come and kill me! Do you still want to kill someone and silence me in front of my father-in-law?"
"What did you say!?"
Gao Yao was furious and wanted to teach Yan Le a lesson.
At this moment, Zhao Gao glanced over with a cold look and said in a deep voice: "You all pretend that this mansion does not exist, right?"
"My subordinates dare not!"
Gao Yao was struck by Zhao Gao's cold eyes, and he became alert and quickly bowed to Zhao Gao.
When Yan Le saw this, he smiled happily and was about to add insult to injury when Zhao Gao suddenly slapped him in the face and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you now!"
"father in law."
Yan Le was slapped by Zhao Gao and his expression was stunned, and he stopped talking.
But I heard Zhao Gao continue: "Now let me ask you, why did you say that Gao wanted to kill people and silence them?"
"Father-in-law, I'm afraid you don't know that those artillery pieces at Nanhai Port were actually robbed by Zhao Hao on purpose by Zhao Tuo, in order to make Zhao Tuo believe that he was an insider!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Before Zhao Gao could speak, Gao Yao on the side couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed Yan Le's collar and said angrily: "Master, he is driving a wedge between us!"
Zhao Gao: "."
"I didn't say you were a spy, why are you so excited?"
Yan Le said in a funny tone: "Is it possible that you have something secret in your heart? Or have you betrayed your father-in-law a long time ago and surrendered to Zhao Tuo? Just wait for Zhao Tuo to come in, right?"
"You are talking nonsense. I will kill you!"
"Bang!"
Gao Yao was about to kill Yan Le who was talking nonsense. Zhao Gao kicked Gao Yao away with a fierce kick and shouted coldly: "You are outrageous!"
"Master! Yan Le has surrendered to Zhao Hao a long time ago. He is driving a wedge between us! Don't believe what he says!"
Gao Yao, who was kicked away by Zhao Gao, said with blood bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and said sadly.
Zhao Gao glanced at him coldly and said, "I have my own rules. It's not your turn to teach me, so shut up now!"
"But."
Gao Yao opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Zhao Gao ignored him and turned to Yan Le: "You said that Zhao Hao deliberately let them take away those artillery pieces?"
"Yes!"
Yan Le nodded seriously.
Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes slightly: "What is his ultimate goal?"
"Let Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao take Linchen City, and then use their hands to kill His Majesty!"
"Nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao kicked Yan Le in the chest and sneered: "How could Zhao Hao kill your majesty? Do you think this government will believe you?"
Yan Le was kicked so hard that he spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew upside down to the ground. He endured the severe pain and panted: "If it had been before, it would be impossible for Zhao Hao to turn against His Majesty.
But my father-in-law must have forgotten that His Majesty has already written an edict to confer the crown prince, and the candidate for the crown prince is not Zhao Hao."
"What did you say?!"
Zhao Gao's expression changed drastically. He rushed to Yan Le in three steps at a time, grabbed his collar and said, "You said Zhao Hao knows about His Majesty's intention to establish a prince? What else does he know? Tell me quickly!"
"Hehehe"
Yan Le opened his mouth full of bloody teeth, smiled dryly, and said: "My father-in-law underestimated Zhao Hao, and also underestimated the security bureau he established. Those people from the security bureau are so pervasive that they can penetrate into the entire Linchen City and even the entire Baiyue." , very few things can be hidden from him.”
"I see."
Zhao Gao muttered to himself in sudden realization.
At this moment, a hurried cry came from the distance: "Oh no! The rebels are coming to the back mountain!"
