"Eldest Young Master! You have to say something! Even if you didn't say anything, I did it!"
When Wang Li saw Meng Tian and Fu Su, he didn't even express his opinion. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, jumping up and down in the study.
He doesn't care about anything now, he only cares about whether Zhao Hao will be killed by Zhao Gao and Li Si.
After all, Zhao Hao had no less fun with them than Meng Tian and Fu Su.
They can pretend to convey the emperor's will and grant the death of Fu Su and Meng Tian, and grant the death of Zhao Hao, which seems to have no difficulty.
However, Wang Li ignored one point. Zhao Hao, Meng Tian and Fu Su were actually different.
Meng Tian and Fu Su in history died in vain because they believed that the First Emperor was still alive before they died, otherwise they would not sit back and watch Zhao Gao and Li Si disrupt the country.
But Zhao Hao in the story knew the truth earlier than Meng Tian and Fu Su.
Logically speaking, Meng Tian and Fusu should support Wang Li's anger and raise troops to go south.
However, Meng Tian quickly suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Do you know the consequences of our raising troops to go south?"
"At this time, why don't you care about the consequences? Do you want to sit back and watch Zhao Gao and Li Si chaos the country?" Wang Li asked in confusion.
Meng Tian ignored him and turned to Fusu: "Eldest Young Master, now that you know the truth, do you still plan to obey the imperial edict?"
"this"
Fusu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly fell into deep thought. After a while, he said solemnly: "Fusu obeys the imperial edict!"
Wang Li was shocked and said: "Eldest Young Master! You must not do it! Zhao Gaoli Si is falsely conveying the emperor's will and is a treacherous minister."
"Wang Li, shut up!"
Meng Tian was angered by Wang Li's words, and shouted with a red face: "This matter is for your ears. Remember not to spread it outside, otherwise you will be dealt with according to military law!"
"But."
Wang Li opened his mouth but stopped talking.
But Yan Le, who was listening to the side, suddenly said: "If the general and the eldest son raise troops to go south, not to mention whether they can correct the right path, I am afraid that the three princes and nine ministers of Ganquan Palace, and even the princes, will not escape death, let alone Young Master Hao."
"this"
Wang Li fell silent for a moment.
Fusu and Mengtian also fell silent.
It is true that they have the strength to uphold the right path, but Northern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from Xianyang.
Even if they raise troops to go south under the pretext of conspiring with Zhao Gao and Li Si to cause chaos, they will not be able to return to Xianyang unimpeded.
After all, all rebellious officials and traitors in history rebelled under the banner of 'justice'.
It was impossible for them to listen to Yan Le's words and raise troops to go south.
Therefore, when raising troops to go south, we must not act rashly.
"Then in Mr. Meng's opinion, how should we respond?"
After a long silence, Wang Li still didn't figure it out, so he turned to Meng Tian for advice.
Meng Tian glanced at him, then at Fusu, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Le, and said calmly: "I would like to hear the opinions of Special Envoy Yan."
"I am so frightened, how dare I be in front of Duke Meng."
"Okay, Master Haoneng entrusts you with such a major event, and Zhao Gaoneng entrusts you with such an important task, which is enough to prove your ability!"
Before Yan Le could finish his evasive words, Meng Tian waved his hand to interrupt him, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "When it comes to understanding people's abilities, even the late emperor is probably not as good as Young Master Hao. I never imagined that Li Si and Zhao Gao could actually They will conspire to cause chaos in the country!"
"this"
Yan Le hesitated for a moment and then said with a smile: "Young Master Hao often said that you know people but don't know their hearts. If you hadn't experienced it personally, who would have thought that Zhao Gao, who had served the late emperor for decades, would harbor evil intentions and did Li Tingwei, who was so cruel to the Qin Dynasty, that he would Pretentious edicts and manipulation of power."
"Yes, Not Bad."
Meng Tian nodded in approval and said with a smile: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts. Young Master Hao is indeed a great talent!"
As he said that, he looked at Yan Le with a smile: "Special Envoy Yan deliberately asked Special Envoy Li to rush in front. I'm afraid he had a plan already, right?"
"this"
Yan Le's expression changed, and he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Meng Gong is wise and I don't dare to deceive you. I have indeed had a plan for a long time."
"oh?"
Meng Tian raised his eyebrows, as if he was not surprised: "You can tell me, come and listen to me!"
"promise."
Yan Le agreed, then cupped his hands and said, "In my opinion, both the eldest son and the general should obey the imperial edict!"
"Um?"
Meng Tian narrowed his eyes.
Fusu and Wang Li looked at each other, but neither spoke.
But Yan Le continued: "Today Xianyang and even Guanzhong are under the control of Zhao Gao and Li Si. If Duke Meng and the eldest son send troops to go south, there are three things wrong with them!"
"Which three points?" Wang Li couldn't help but ask.
Yan Le glanced at Wang Li and said with a smile: "Although Duke Meng and the eldest son already know that Zhao Gao and Li Si are wielding power. However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, and even the people in the world do not know about this.
Therefore, this first point is naturally derived from Wu Ming. "
"Well, that makes sense." Fusu pondered and nodded.
Wang Li couldn't help but ask: "What about the second point?"
"Second point"
Yan Le smiled and said: "General Wang, have you ever thought about why the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have not frequently rebelled in recent years? Have they given up on restoring the country? Or have they been influenced by our Great Qin's new policy?"
"this"
Wang Li was speechless and didn't know how to respond.
Yan Le glanced at him meaningfully and said with a smile: "The second point is that you cannot make wedding clothes for others."
"As for the third point, I have already mentioned it just now, so I won't repeat it again!"
"So, what's your plan?"
This time it was Fusu's turn to speak first.
Because after he made it clear that Yan Le was Zhao Hao's person, he already regarded Yan Le as a big tiger or a second tiger.
Yan Le bowed and said: "Back to the eldest son, my plan is that the eldest son must die and Meng Gong must also become a prisoner, so that Zhao Gao and Li Si can be paralyzed."
"As for General Wang, it's best to stay in Jiuyuan and take over the military power!"
"Thank you for being able to figure it out!"
Wang Li stamped his feet angrily, obviously not wanting to accept Yan Le's plan.
But Meng Tian interrupted him coldly: "I and the eldest son will not really die. I think Yan Le's plan is feasible!"
"but."
As he spoke, he changed the topic and continued: "After paralyzing Zhao Gao and Li Si, what is your next plan?"
"To be honest, I was able to come up with this plan entirely out of my trust in Young Master Hao. Because I know that Young Master Hao will never sit still and wait for death. It's not that he can't take care of Zhao Gao and Li Si, but he is waiting for a suitable one. Chance!"
"Oh? Do you think Young Master Hao has a way to deal with Zhao Gao and Li Si?"
"If this were not the case, he would not have allowed me to take risks to save the eldest son and Duke Meng, and he would never have mentioned raising troops to go south!"
"this"
Now it was Meng Tian's turn and he didn't know how to interface.
Admittedly, he also admired Zhao Hao very much.
But in terms of understanding Zhao Hao, whether it is Fusu, Yan Le, or Wang Li, they all understand Zhao Hao better than him.
Therefore, he was skeptical about whether Zhao Hao could deal with Zhao Gao and Li Si.
After all, Zhao Hao is still imprisoned in Ganquan Palace by Zhao Gao and Li Si.
Seeing Meng Tian's silence, Fusu immediately expressed his position: "I believe in my brother Hao's ability, and he will definitely have a way to deal with Zhao Gao and Li Si, and I also agree with Special Envoy Yan's plan!"
Hearing this, Yan Le rolled his eyes and said tentatively: "Since the eldest son agrees with my plan, can I also let you handle Li Fu's matter?"
"How do you want to deal with it?" Meng Tian interjected.
Yan Le said with a smile but not a smile: "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Everyone who saw the eldest son stabbing Li Fu to death today will all die!"
"hiss--"
Fusu and Wang Li couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Meng Tian also twitched his eyelids, secretly thinking that this Yan Le is indeed not simple.
What a cruel person!
No wonder Zhao Gao and Zhao Hao reused him at the same time.
"No! Absolutely not! How can you kill innocent people indiscriminately!?" Fusu was the first to disagree.
Wang Li also couldn't bear it: "Can you only kill those who oversee the imperial edict and not our people?"
"hehe."
Yan Le smiled noncommittally, but did not answer.
Meng Tian pondered for a while and then made a decision immediately: "This matter will go according to Special Envoy Yan's plan!"
"Meng Gong!"
"Okay! The eldest son will stay here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Meng Hu! Watch the eldest son carefully. If the eldest son makes any mistake, you should commit suicide and apologize!"
"promise!"
Three days later, a grand funeral was held in Yinshan Grassland.
I don’t know how the news of Fusu’s death spread. During the day and night, the sound of heavy horns resounded throughout the Yinshan grassland.
Even the Huns outside the Great Wall were shocked.
Thousands of herdsmen who were spending the winter in tents, braving the severe cold and wind and snow, rode on tall horses, gathered together. Thousands of Guizhou heads stopped what they were doing and faced the direction of Jiuyuan City, with tears streaming down their faces.
A team of special envoys led by Yan Le himself were quietly leaving Jiuyuan City, escorting a prisoner van.
Although Yan Le did not send anyone to send a message to Zhao Gao and Li Si, newspapers from Jiuyuan swept Guanzhong overwhelmingly.
I believe they will learn this 'exciting' news soon.
Time passed little by little, and before you knew it, Ganquan Mountain, which was originally extremely cold, suddenly shed a ray of warm spring sunshine, giving the dry and desolate Ganquan Mountain a layer of vitality.
Although the three ministers and nine ministers have become accustomed to the departure of the First Emperor, they still cannot communicate normally.
Only Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai communicated every day.
As the day of national mourning draws closer, their moods become more and more uneasy.
They exchanged two or three sentences every day, then sat there until the fourth watch, over and over again, but there was nothing they could do.
Although they have come to this point and there is no way out, they will not dare to go to war for a day without news from Jiuyuan.
This is really torturous for them.
"Zhao Fu Ling!"
On this day, Li Si and others rarely sat until the fifth watch. Li Si finally couldn't help but sigh: "We may have made a miscalculation!"
"Even if Li Tingwei regrets it now, it's too late!" Zhao Gao said expressionlessly.
Hu Hai was trembling all over and murmured to himself: "If it doesn't work, I won't be the prince."
"Ah!"
Zhao Gao groaned, but there was no interface.
Li Si raised his hand to his forehead and ignored Hu Hai.
About a moment later, Li Si pondered again: "If we don't announce the mourning, I'm afraid the ministers will make a fuss."
"A funeral at this time will cause an even bigger fuss!" Zhao Gao said indifferently.
"Now that the matter has come to this, what should we do?"
"Succeed as a king and lose as a bandit, at worst the fish will die and the net will be broken!"
"What do you want to do?" Li Si was shocked and couldn't help asking Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao sneered: "Even if I die, I have to pull a group of people to support me. I have ordered people to plant explosives in all the courtyards and palaces of Ganquan Mountain. As long as Fusu dares to raise troops to go south, I want everyone to be buried with me." !”
"you!"
Li Si's eyes widened with disbelief on his face: "Are you crazy?!"
"Li Tingwei is worried about gains and losses, and his will is not firm. I can only make this decision!"
"But."
Li Si opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
He really didn't want to waste any time talking about Zhao Gao's madness.
Wasn't it a crazy adventure to conspire with Zhao Gao?
Once upon a time, Li Si no longer had the lofty ambition to serve the country and the people. He was always obsessed with all kinds of power schemes and power struggles with outsiders. In the past, he was the sad and angry fighter who wrote the "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion of Guests" , has disappeared.
He could never find his former self again. Every day he was not discussing state affairs with the old ministers of the empire, but instead he was chatting with the mediocre princes and officials he looked down upon the most.
The pain in my heart is difficult to describe in words.
If Meng Tian sees through his murderous edict, everything will be in vain.
"Dong dong dong——!"
Just when Li Si and the other three fell into silence again, there was a knock on the door.
Li Si and three others were startled at the same time and couldn't help but stand up.
Logically speaking, no one should disturb them at this hour.
Unless something big happens?
Thinking of a certain possibility, Zhao Gao and Li Si walked to the door in unison.
But I heard the person knocking on the door report: "Report to Li Tingwei, there is an urgent report coming from Jiuyuan!"
Buzz!
Hearing the words 'Jiuyuan Urgent Report', Li Si and Zhao Gao felt their hearts tighten at the same time.
Even Hu Hai, who did not dare to take a breath, tiptoed to the door, held his breath and listened carefully.
"What happened?" Li Si tried to calm down his emotions, and then asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Li Tingwei, the eldest son, Fusu, committed suicide according to the imperial edict. Meng Tian has been escorted back to Xianyang by Yan Le."
Boom!
A startling sound came from nowhere, causing Li Si and others' scalps to tingle and their heads to go blank.
Their expressions were first one of shock, then confusion, and finally ecstasy.
They never expected that the next moment they were on the verge of collapse, such good news would come.
And equally shocked as them was Ying Zheng, who had just come out of the tunnel.
When Ying Zheng saw the newspaper that Zhao Hao had obviously thrown beside the bed, he was stunned.
His expression is also very wonderful.
Seeing Lai Fu and Chang Wei, they didn't dare to breathe.
"Why!"
Zhao Hao sighed helplessly and looked at Ying Zheng with some worry: "Father, don't you want to know the history that the man in the dream told me? This is the real history."
As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the door and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
A gust of cold mountain wind blew over from nowhere. He raised his white palms, let the cold wind blow by, and murmured to himself: "The wind has risen, it's time to kill." (End of this chapter)
