"Sir! The Ganquan Mountain ice cellar exploded!"
Chen Ping hurriedly came to Zhao Hao and handed over his hand to report.
Zhao Hao glanced at him, frowned and said, "Is he dead?"
"Everyone is dead except Yan Le."
"Oh, I see."
"One more thing, Mr. Meng Meng and Mr. Li Zhan attacked Ying Ziyang on the mountainside last night!"
"Is there still this matter?"
Zhao Hao was slightly surprised: "Isn't Li Zhan Li Si's youngest son? Now that Li Si is plotting to usurp the throne, why would he let Li Zhan and Mond make trouble together?"
"As far as my subordinates know, it seems that Mr. Li Zhan took the initiative to find Mr. Mond!"
"Oh? This surprises me a bit."
"Then what's next."
Chen Ping asked tentatively: "Should we notify the newspaper and report this matter?"
Zhao Hao thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, send someone to protect my father's heirs first, don't let that bitch Zhao Gao cause trouble!"
"promise!"
Chen Ping agreed and prepared to turn around and leave.
But Zhao Hao said again: "In addition, please help me arrange Xiao He and Cao Shen, I want to meet them!"
"Okay, my subordinates will make arrangements now!"
"Go!"
At the same time, Li Si's mansion.
As soon as Yan Le came down from Ganquan Mountain, he ordered someone to send him back to Xianyang.
At this moment, he was being interrogated by Zhao Gao and Li Si at the same time.
"Yan Le, is what you just said true? Gu Chang did they find out His Majesty's true identity?" Zhao Gao asked directly with a serious face.
Yan Le immediately sat upright, raised his hands and said loudly: "Back to my father-in-law, if my son-in-law makes false claims, he will definitely die without a burial place!"
Zhao Gao frowned slightly, turned to look at Li Si, and asked again: "Does Li Tingwei still have any doubts?"
Li Si did not answer Zhao Gao, but asked Yan Le with a calm face: "I ask you, why did Gu Chang and the Iron Eagle Guards die together, leaving you alone to escape from Ganquan Mountain?"
"Back to Li Tingwei, I am only responsible for leading Gu Chang and the others to the Ganquan Mountain Ice Cellar. They did not enter the ice cellar, which naturally saves them a lot of danger!"
"No, since you haven't entered the ice cellar, how do you know that the person in the ice cellar is His Majesty?"
"this"
Yan Le was slightly startled.
Li Si's face darkened: "What, you dare to deceive me?!"
"Bold Yan Le! Why don't you recruit from the real situation!"
When Zhao Gao saw Li Si's unkind expression, he immediately shouted at Yan Le.
Yan Le quickly waved his hand and explained: "No, father-in-law, how dare my son-in-law deceive you? It's true that my son-in-law is in trouble."
"Hmph! What's so hard to say! Tell me quickly! What's going on?"
"Back to my father-in-law, after they inspected His Majesty's body, they told my son-in-law the result. Originally, my son-in-law wanted to take them down the mountain, but Gu Chang had a dispute with him, and then they refused to listen to his arrangement. Alarmed the Iron Eagle Guard"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why did you have a dispute with Gu Chang?"
Yan Le cautiously raised his hands and said:
"Going back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law led them on the mission under his orders, but Gu Chang always spoke rudely to his son-in-law, saying that he was just an errand boy, and that he would be his father-in-law's abandoned son in the future. He even repeatedly said that he was just an errand boy. He insulted his father-in-law and harmed them."
"this"
Zhao Gao was a little embarrassed and couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Si.
But he saw Li Si calmly saying as usual: "For no reason, why did Gu Chang speak rudely to you?"
"Not for nothing"
Yan Le lowered his head with some guilt: "On the way there, I mentioned that he was injured by explosives."
"But." As he said that, he changed the topic again: "My original intention was to remind him to be careful when using the explosives I gave him. Who knew he was worried about this matter!"
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I'm afraid that my father-in-law and Li Tingwei will blame me."
"Hmph! You smart fool!"
Zhao Gao snorted coldly and slapped Yan Le directly in front of Li Si.
Li Si frowned slightly, but did not continue to ask any more questions. He waved to Yan Le and said, "Okay, you can go down first!"
"promise!"
Yan Le accepted the promise and retreated, feeling secretly relieved at the same time.
After watching Yan Le leave, Zhao Gao once again set his sights on Li Si: "Li Tingwei, look at this"
"No need to say more!"
Li Si waved his hand to interrupt what Zhao Gao wanted to say, and said solemnly:
"Now the arrow is on the string and we have to take action. Tomorrow's Daqin newspaper will definitely publish the Ganquan Mountain explosion. By then we will no longer be able to hide it even if we want to. We must read out His Majesty's edict as soon as possible, confirm the candidate for the crown prince, and set the date of national mourning! "
"Okay! I'm going to inform the young prince and ask him to cooperate with us!"
"Go!"
"Young Prince, Your Majesty is gone!"
The first time Zhao Gao came to Hu Hai's palace, he told Hu Hai about the death of the First Emperor.
When Hu Hai heard this, his heart was greatly moved, but tears instantly filled his eyes. He cried sadly and bitterly: "Oh, oh, oh, father!"
When Hu Hai was crying and out of breath, Zhao Gao slowly walked up to him and comforted him: "Okay, young prince, now is the time when the empire is in crisis. Don't act like a little daughter!"
"But teacher, father, he"
As he said this, Hu Hai almost burst into tears again.
"Have you, young prince, forgotten my previous advice?" Zhao Gao obviously didn't have that much time to act with Hu Hai, so he immediately turned serious.
Hu Hai had always been afraid of his teacher, so he quickly bowed and said, "Teacher, just say it, Hu Hai just listen!"
"His Majesty passed away suddenly, and the young prince is already in danger!"
Seeing Hu Hai being so obedient, Zhao Gao's tone softened a little and he said leisurely:
"Previously, Your Majesty only left an edict to the eldest son, and did not say a word to the other princes and princesses. He did not grant kings or marquises. When the time comes, the eldest son returns to Xianyang to become the second emperor of Qin, and the young prince will have no place to stand. What should the young prince do? ?”
Hearing this, Hu Hai was a little surprised, but he soon felt relieved and said with a wry smile:
"Although the teacher really wanted Hu Hai to be the second emperor of Qin, his father did not expressly pass the throne to Hu Hai, so Hu Hai could only accept his fate. As for being granted the title of king or marquis, Hu Hai is not a special case. The same is true for the other imperial brothers. What can the teacher do? Something to worry about?”
Zhao Gao shook his head slowly:
"The original intention of what I said these words is not to remind the young prince of His Majesty's arrangements, but to remind the young prince to adapt to changes in the situation today. All changes in the world are in the hands of the young prince, me, and Li Tingwei. Whether they are kings or ministers, Controlling others or being controlled by others is also in the hands of the three of us!"
"Ah? This"
Hu Hai was shocked: "How can this be accomplished? Since the emperor has made it clear that he is the eldest brother of Hu Hai, how can Hu Hai abolish his brother and stand on his own? Isn't this trapping Hu Hai and being disloyal and unjust?"
It's not that he doesn't want to be Qin II, but he is afraid of the consequences of doing so.
However, how could Zhao Gao not know what he was thinking? He immediately refuted him and said:
"What the young prince said is different. Zhou Wu was originally a merchant, but he raised the flag to revolution and justified the world. Weijun killed his father and his name will go down in history. Who can say that he is unfilial? Both the young prince and the eldest son are his majesty's heirs. No matter which of you inherits the throne, he will be Loyal to Da Qin!
May the young prince follow my plan and accomplish great things! "
"this"
This was the first time that Hu Hai saw his teacher being so impassioned, and his heart was pounding.
He could not refuse his teacher and felt that the matter was too mysterious, so he finally fell into a long silence.
Zhao Gao knew that Hu Hai was struggling in his heart, but did not leave him time to think. He said again in a stern voice: "Tonight there is an accident in Ganquan Mountain, and a national mourning is imminent. How can the young prince care about the small and forget the big when doing things, and be hesitant?! "
"this"
When Hu Hai heard Zhao Gao's words, it was like a wake-up call.
In his mind, as a eunuch, what would the teacher do if he did not consider his student's future?
At this moment, Hu Hai had no choice but to agree.
"The teacher's teachings are correct, Hu Hai is willing to listen to the teacher's plans!"
Zhao Gao was overjoyed: "The young prince dares to do it decisively, and the gods and ghosts will avoid him. This is a success!"
On the other side, Donghu Palace.
Laifu was lying on Zhao Hao's bed, tossing and turning, and finally made it to dawn, only to find that Zhao Hao and Chang Wei had not returned yet.
The earth shook last night, and Donghu Palace was also affected a lot.
Because of this, he was even more worried about the safety of Zhao Hao and Chang Wei.
At this time, he had already gotten up from Zhao Hao's bed, feeling anxious in his heart.
"Why haven't Young Master and Chang Wei come back yet? It's already dawn!"
"What if someone finds out?"
"No! We must not let anyone discover it! I have to find something to block the tunnel!"
While muttering to himself, Laifu quickly moved a cabinet and blocked the tunnel entrance tightly.
Now he no longer expects Zhao Hao and Chang Wei to come back, he only expects them to be safe and sound outside.
After all, if they come back now, they will be easily discovered by people outside.
However, just as he was about to lie back on Zhao Hao's bed and continue to pretend to be Zhao Hao, the cabinet that had just been used to block the tunnel entrance was suddenly knocked.
"Dong dong dong"
"Um?"
Laifu was slightly startled, and then came to the cabinet with a face full of joy: "Master, is it you?"
"It's me! Open it quickly!"
"I?"
Laifu reacted for a moment and suddenly felt a little funny.
He thought Zhao Hao was teasing him, so he didn't move the cabinet in time. Instead, he laughed and teased Zhao Hao:
"Sir, you've learned quite a bit. Are you imitating His Majesty? Hahaha, if Your Majesty were in the tunnel, he would stand on his head and eat shit!"
"oh?"
Ying Zheng, who was still a little angry at first, suddenly became interested when he heard Laifu's words, and said quietly: "Are you serious about what you said?"
"Oh, Master, please stop joking. Laifu is not a fool. How could His Majesty be in the tunnel?"
With that said, Laifu opened the cabinet with a funny look on his face.
When he saw that the person under the cabinet was not Zhao Hao but Ying Zheng, his hands suddenly shook and the cabinet in his hands instantly fell to the ground.
"Hallucination! It must be a hallucination!"
"Bold!!"
"Ah! Your Majesty——"
Laifu was so frightened that he quickly moved the cabinet again.
Fortunately, Ying Zheng was in the tunnel just now and was not hit by the cabinet, otherwise he would not have been able to die even if he had nine lives.
I saw Ying Zheng looking at Laifu with cold eyes, and said with a stern face: "Didn't you just say that you stand on your head and eat shit? I'll watch you eat it!"
"His Majesty."
Laifu's legs went weak and he knelt down directly in front of Ying Zheng: "Little man Laifu, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"snort!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "I know who you are. That traitor must have kept you here to hide your identity from others, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise! I respect you as much as I do"
"Okay, stop saying flattery and pull me up first!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand to interrupt Laifu.
Only then did Laifu realize that Ying Zheng was still in the tunnel, so he rolled and crawled to the entrance of the tunnel, stretched out his hand to pull Ying Zheng up: "Your Majesty, please slow down and kowtow carefully."
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled and said nothing.
Soon, he crawled out of the tunnel.
At this time, Donghu Palace was quiet. He looked around and found that the entire Donghu Palace was full of dazzling things that made people want to play with them. He couldn't help but frown: "Did that kid get these?"
"Your Majesty, the young master got these things just to pretend to be crazy in front of those people outside!"
Laifu defended his young master in a low voice.
"Ah!"
Ying Zheng snorted noncommittally, ignored Laifu, and played with the things Zhao Hao got for a while. Finally, he felt that it was very boring, so he shouted in a deep voice: "Laifu!"
"The villain is here!"
Laifu bowed in response.
Until now, he hadn't thought clearly about why Ying Zheng appeared in the tunnel? And where have Zhao Hao and Chang Wei gone?
Could it be that His Majesty discovered that they were digging tunnels?
Thinking of this, Laifu felt uneasy.
As if he had read through Laifu's thoughts, Ying Zheng asked him calmly: "Do you have a share in digging this tunnel?"
"this"
Laifu was shocked and suddenly speechless.
Ying Zheng looked at him sharply and said coldly: "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is?"
"His Majesty."
Laifu's pupils shrank and he quickly bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng: "The villain deserves death! Your Majesty, please punish me. This matter has nothing to do with the young master, it was all dug up by the villain alone!"
Ying Zheng sneered: "Can one person dig out the palace? Do you really think that my palace is made of mud?"
"this"
Laifu was speechless again.
Ying Zheng looked at him deeply and said in a solemn tone: "I already know about Zhao Hao, you still want to hide it from me?"
"Since Your Majesty already knows, I have nothing to say. I am willing to be punished!"
Laifu had a bitter look on his face and immediately bowed to the ground, ready to be slaughtered.
However, Ying Zheng said a little funny:
"Who said I was going to punish you? I just walked in the tunnel for a while and found that this tunnel is quite mysterious. Since you have dug the tunnel, you must know more about this tunnel. Would you like to explain it to me?"
"ah?"
"What, you don't want to?"
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, looking majestic.
Laifu hesitantly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't know where to start."
"Don't know where to start? Then come with me to the tunnel and talk as we go!"
"Your Majesty, are you still going down?"
Laifu looked at Ying Zheng in surprise, seemingly unable to react.
But Ying Zheng had already reached the entrance of the tunnel and looked back at him impatiently: "You are a coward, are you making a fool of yourself? Let's go quickly!"
Hearing this, Laifu trembled and quickly bowed and reminded: "Return to your majesty, the sky outside is already bright."
"Oh, it's already dawn outside"
Ying Zheng nodded in sudden realization, and then said thoughtfully: "In this case, you go prepare food first, and then we go down after eating!"
Blessing:"."
No, why is Your Majesty so addicted to tunnel drilling?
