"Jingyangjun!"
A captain of the Imperial Guard came to the camp at the foot of Ganquan Mountain and reported to Ying Ziyang: "Everything is normal for Young Master Hao in Donghu Palace, and he did not make any rude requests!"
"Oh, I see."
Ying Ziyang nodded calmly, then glanced at Ying Chengyu who was sitting beside him, waved his hand and said:
"You go down first. Remember, no matter what request Master Hao makes, he is told to wait for His Majesty's summons!"
"What if he wants to force his way out of the palace?"
"Hmph! The sword has no eyes!"
"ah?"
"Why, you want to disobey my order?" Ying Ziyang raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "I am acting under His Majesty's order. Disobeying my order means disobeying His Majesty's order. Do you understand?"
"This" the captain of the Forbidden Army hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and quickly bowed and saluted: "The general will understand!"
"You understand, why don't you go ahead and carry out the order?"
"promise!"
Watching the captain of the imperial army retreat as promised, Ying Chengyu, who was watching all this quietly, smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Jingyang Lord is worthy of being the son of King Xiaowen. I admire this calmness and calmness very much!"
"snort!"
Ying Ziyang snorted noncommittally, then sat back in his seat and said in a deep voice, "What are you planning on? Now that Ying Zheng is dead, why not establish a new king as soon as possible?"
"In the opinion of Lord Jingyang, who can be the candidate for the new Lord?"
"Needless to say, of course. Huh? Besides Fusu, who do you plan to support?"
"How is Young Master Hu Hai?" Ying Chengqiao asked with a half-smile.
"Just him?" Ying Ziyang suddenly stood up, looked at Ying Chengyu with a face full of astonishment, and then smiled hoarsely: "Don't be joking, you said that you are more reliable than that kid Hu Hai when you say that you sit on the throne. Spectrum!"
"Oh?" Ying Chengyu joked in surprise: "So Mr. Jingyang thinks so highly of me?"
"So, are you really going to support Hu Hai?" Ying Ziyang asked in surprise.
Facing Ying Ziyang, who held a large number of troops and had a close friendship with him, Ying Chengxuan knew that he could not hide anything, otherwise once Zhao Gao and Li Si gained power, his shady Chang'an Lord would be even more useless.
After pondering for a moment, Ying Chengxuan stood up from his seat, walked to Ying Ziyang's desk, poured him a glass of wine, and said quietly: "Jingyang Lord should know that the throne should have been mine, and it was Ying Zheng who took over from me. I took it away from my hand, so I dare to ask Mr. Jingyang to help me!"
"You are now a sinner in the country. Whether you can pass it fair and square is a question. Is it possible that you still want to get involved in the throne?" Ying Ziyang asked jokingly, but did not refuse the wine poured by Ying Chengyu and picked up the wine. He took a sip from the wine glass.
However, Ying Chengyu smiled disapprovingly and said: "Whether it is Li Si or Zhao Gao, they support Hu Hai, and they are at most operating within the Qin law, and Zhao Gao is not what you seem on the surface. So simple;
He is actually a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake that can bite its owner at any time! "
"So, neither my royal brother nor Li Si can control him!"
"this"
When Ying Ziyang heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Could Zhao Gao and Li Si turn against each other and become enemies?"
"Power is a very magical thing. It can unite people quickly, and it can also make people go their separate ways!"
Ying Chengyu smiled noncommittally, and continued: "I also said just now, whether it is Zhao Gao or Li Si, they can only operate within Qin's method;
Do you know what a person is?
In my eyes, man is the sum of divinity and animality;
That is, he has good things that you can't imagine, and even more evil that you can't imagine;
There is no right or wrong, this is just human beings! "
"so."
At this point, he paused and said meaningfully: "Qin's law is very special. It doesn't care how good you can be, it restricts you from being extremely evil;
It knows that everyone has a little bit of dirt in their heart;
It’s okay to think about it, but not to do it! "
"Li Si is a pure legalist. He admires Qin's law, but cannot escape from Qin's law. Therefore, even though he has the opportunity to act arbitrarily, he still follows the so-called Qin's law and goes step by step. This is also his behavior, which makes others look like, The reason for being timid!”
"Zhao Gao is different. He is also proficient in Qin Fa, but he knows that Qin Fa is more like a mask of humanity, a forced disguise;
The fact that he has been able to disguise himself in front of my imperial brother for more than thirty years shows that he knows that the loophole in Qin's law is the imperial power. This is why he supported Hu Hai on the throne! "
"Because as long as he controls Hu Hai, what does Qin Fa mean to him?"
"this"
After listening to Ying Chengxuan's analysis, Ying Ziyang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his head was buzzing.
After a long while, he looked at Ying Chengyu blankly and said with a dry mouth, "You mean, you want to wait until they both lose and reap the benefits?"
"hehe."
Ying Chengyu smiled and shook his head, sighing: "You still don't understand that in the struggle for power, there is never a so-called lose-lose situation, only life and death!"
"It's like Qin Fa, who is both humane and ruthless."
After saying that, Ying Chengyu stopped talking.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time. In Ying Ziyang's view, Ying Chengyu was a dangerous ally. He could tell him so much, and he probably believed that he would not betray him. If he betrayed him, he would definitely end up with something bad. It will be better.
In Ying Chengyu's view, Ying Ziyang is a very important chess piece for him. There is no need to tie him up with some interests. As long as he can see his abilities clearly, he can definitely be used by him.
When dusk fell, Ying Chengyu turned around, cupped his hands and walked away silently.
Ying Ziyang didn't stay or send him off, he just sat there in a daze until the sky gradually darkened.
At the same time, Li Si's mansion.
Zhao Gao said with a solemn expression: "I have some impressions of Chunhe. When I once reported to His Majesty the secret affairs of the imperial court, I accidentally heard him mention this name. He was not a temporary scribe of Dianke Mansion! "
"So, I'm worrying too much?" Li Si frowned.
"Not really."
Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "Back then, Yao Tingwei tried to show off his kindness but was blocked by him. Now at the court meeting in Ganquan Palace, he changed his mind again and vaguely wanted to support Li Tingwei.
However, in terms of closeness, Yao Tingwei was closer to him. He would not kiss Li Tingwei and exclude Yao Tingwei! "
"Then according to your opinion, is there any other conspiracy to weaken such abnormal behavior?"
"Although Dunruo is the commander of Black Ice Platform, Black Ice Platform belongs directly to His Majesty, unless..."
Zhao Gao said, looked up at Yao Jia, and said solemnly: "Unless your Majesty is really alive!"
"this"
Li Si's pupils shrank suddenly: "How is this possible?!"
The messages and meanings carried by the two people's conversations, looks, and voices are much richer and deeper than the words themselves. They often look at each other silently, with great concentration.
Yao Jia had already strongly felt the pressure from the First Emperor through Li Si's expression.
He knew in his heart that if the First Emperor had not died, all of them would have died without a burial place.
He and Li Si were often tied to each other by interests, but these were insignificant compared with the lives of the whole family, and even the entire clan.
Yao Jia stood up and refilled Li Si's cup of tea, and then said with a solemn expression: "Li Tingwei, although I don't believe that there are two identical people in the world, I will never mistake that look. Except for Your Majesty, No one can make me so afraid;
And not only me, but also the officials of the Tingwei Mansion were shocked by that figure from behind! "
"Then in your opinion, what should we do next?"
Li Si calmed down his emotions and asked solemnly.
Zhao Gao and Yao Jia looked at each other, and the former said: "In my opinion, we must send someone to spy on the Ganquan Mountain ice cellar to further determine whether your Majesty is alive or dead!"
"No!"
Yao Jia quickly waved his hand: "There are Iron Eagle Guards in the corridor leading to the Ganquan Mountain Ice Cellar. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter, and if you force your way in, it is easy to scare the snake!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao smiled hoarsely: "Of course ordinary people can't go in, but the people below can go in safely!"
"oh?"
Li Si's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Yao Jia.
Yao Jia was seen twirling his beard and remaining silent.
"Zhao Gao, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Li Si smiled and raised his hand to signal.
Zhao Gao cupped his hands humbly and said, "The two ministers may not know that I have accompanied His Majesty to Ganquan Palace for summer vacation many times, and I am as familiar with the Ganquan Mountain ice cellar as my own fingers.
The Ganquan Mountain ice cellar actually has two passages, one is a horizontal passage and the other is a vertical passage. The horizontal passage is mainly used to transport ice, while the vertical passage is used to retrieve ice;
Therefore, when the horizontal passage is heavily guarded, we only need to divert the imperial troops near the vertical passage away, and then we can go straight to the ice cellar and find out! "
"Wonderful!"
Li Si slapped the table excitedly.
He had to admit that with Zhao Gao assisting him, he would save a lot of energy.
However, he did not directly agree with Zhao Gao. He turned his attention to Yao Jia again and said, "What do you think, Brother Yao?"
Yao Jia rolled his eyes a few times and slowed down his movements of twirling his beard. Although he couldn't stand the idea of Zhao Gao, a eunuch, discussing matters on an equal footing with him, Zhao Gao was the person Li Si recognized, and he had nothing to do with Zhao Gao. , and raised his own questions:
"The Forbidden Army at the foot of Ganquan Mountain belongs to Ying Ziyang. As long as we tell him in advance, he will not come up to disturb the situation. However, the Forbidden Army at the Ganquan Mountain seems to be Yang Duanhe's people. How can we attract Yang Duanhe's attention? ?”
"My son-in-law Yan Le has obtained a lot of explosives in Chunan Pavilion. As long as my people detonate the explosives on the mountain."
Hearing this, Li Si and Yao Jia suddenly nodded, and then showed a meaningful smile.
Not long after, Yao Jia and Zhao Gao left Li Si's mansion.
Immediately afterwards, under Zhao Gao's arrangement, the exploration team headed by Yan Le, Yin Yu, and Gu Chang quickly headed to the Ganquan Mountain Ice Cellar.
On the other side, Donghu Palace.
It was already dark outside and the surroundings were quiet.
The imperial troops guarding outside Donghu Palace held torches and looked into the palace from time to time.
At this time, Zhao Hao was singing and dancing in the palace:
"Thunder! This heaven-reaching cultivation base collapses with the purple gold hammer!
Zidian! Xuanzhen Flame Nine Heavens Hanging Sword shocking changes!
dark clouds! Galloping on the battlefield, roaring and raining!
Passionate and full of hatred since ancient times, holding a crescent blade."
"????"
The guards outside had question marks on their faces and couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what the hell was this song about! Just like a drunken lunatic.
No wonder, Lord Jingyang wants him and others to keep an eye on Young Master Hao. His majesty cannot get angry if he makes such a fuss! ?
Thinking of this, all the guards shook their heads in unison, then gave up looking around and guarded to the death.
When there was no movement outside, Laifu, who was squatting at the door, quickly gestured to Zhao Hao.
When Zhao Hao saw the gesture, he sang wildly and moved to the corner.
There is a tunnel dug by Chang Wei.
He came to the entrance of the tunnel, jumped directly into the tunnel, then hunched his body and crawled deeper into the tunnel.
Soon, he saw Chang Wei at the corner of the tunnel.
"Sir, the tunnel has been dug, you can go out!" Chang Wei said excitedly, rubbing his hands.
Zhao Hao was shocked: "Why so fast? Are you cheating too?"
"Cheating?"
Chang Wei scratched his head and said, "What is cheating?"
"."
Zhao Hao knew that this guy's ideas were a bit strange, so he decisively changed the subject and said, "How did you figure it out in such a short time?"
Although he had discovered Chang Wei's talent for tunneling before, he was still shocked to dig a tunnel leading to the outside in such a short time.
After all, this can no longer be explained by common sense.
But I heard Chang Wei suddenly smile:
"Before the young master came back, we had already dug the tunnel out of the palace. The tunnel just leads to Yinshan Palace in Ganquan Mountain, and Donghu Palace is not far from Yinshan Palace."
"Well"
The corner of Zhao Hao's mouth twitched. He didn't know how to describe his current mood. He felt that instead of raising two confidants, he had raised two pangolins. The sweet spring mountain of love had been dug through by them! ?
However, this also saved him a lot of time.
But I heard him say again: "How are the guards at Yinshan Palace?"
"We didn't go there last time after we discovered that Zhao Gao, Ying Chengyu and the others were conspiring there, but the hole we dug through the Yinshan Palace has not been discovered so far, and no one has ever gone there!"
"What, you dug through the Yinshan Palace? That is the palace where my father used to live!"
"this"
Chang Wei said with some embarrassment: "How about we block it, maybe it's still too late."
"I'm really impressed by you!"
Zhao Hao raised his hand to his forehead speechlessly, then didn't bother to talk nonsense to Chang Wei and walked directly in the direction leading to Yinshan Palace.
He didn't know how long it took, but after Chang Wei kindly reminded him, he realized that he had reached the underground of Yinshan Palace, so he stopped and prepared to climb out of the cave entrance.
However, what he didn't expect was that an embarrassing scene happened again.
Although his height has increased significantly compared to before going to Nanhai, there is still a big gap between him and Chang Wei's height.
Therefore, Chang Wei could easily climb out of the hole, but it was very difficult for him to climb up.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was standing still, he followed him cautiously, stepped forward with a smile, and whispered, "Master, how about I squat down and you stand on my shoulders and climb up?"
"Are you sure there is no one in this Yinshan Palace?"
Zhao Hao frowned and asked hesitantly.
Chang Wei patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir, someone has discovered us a long time ago!"
Zhao Hao: "." What you said makes so much sense!
Although Zhao Hao knew that Chang Wei was unreliable, there was really no movement outside, so he felt relieved, stepped on Chang Wei's shoulders, and slowly crawled out of the cave.
However, when he just poked his head out of the hole, the Yinshan Palace, which was originally as dark as ink, suddenly lit up with a light.
A familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Gui Zi! It is indeed you!"
