Zhao Hao stood under the cold wind, looking at the scenery in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "The country is broken by the mountains and rivers, and the city is full of spring vegetation. I feel the flowers splashing with tears, and hate the birds that are leaving."
"What kind of country has broken mountains and rivers? My Great Qin has not yet been destroyed!"
At some point, Ying Zheng came to Zhao Hao and asked angrily: "Is your eldest brother really dead?"
"Historically, he did commit suicide because of your edict."
"I'm not talking about history."
"Then he's definitely not dead!"
Zhao Hao smiled slyly: "How could I let my eldest brother die?"
"So, Fusu and the others already know your plan?" Ying Zheng asked noncommittally.
Zhao Hao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I only wrote a letter to my eldest brother, and said nothing else. Yan Le is a smart man, he knows what to do!"
"Isn't Yan Le Zhao Gao's son-in-law? Why do you trust him so much?" Ying Zheng said in confusion.
Zhao Hao grinned: "Everyone has his own value. Although Yan Le is Zhao Gao's son-in-law, Zhao Gao can only give him so much."
"You mean, you paid more than Zhao Gao?"
"No. I didn't promise Yan Le anything, except to help him protect his father."
"That"
Seeing that Ying Zheng hesitated to speak, Zhao Hao sighed helplessly and said solemnly: "Father, I admit that you are great and the emperor in my mind.
However, you also have your shortcomings, that is, you are too confident and feel that everything is under your control;
Just like Zhao Gao and Li Si, you never thought that they would betray you, because you used all conspiracy. Do you think Zhao Gao was a eunuch, how much trouble could he cause? Do you think Li Si has become famous and will definitely have no desires or desires?
Another example is Fusu and Meng Tian. You overestimated Fusu's ability to withstand pressure and underestimated Fusu's loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice. You believe too much in Meng Tian's overall view, but you forget that Meng Tian, like you, has no means of preventing rape.
However, everyone has their own dark side, and you can't think that everyone is the same as you.
People with a dark side naturally have intrigues! "
"That's why others take advantage of your character!"
Ying Zheng: "."
Zhao Hao: "."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a while, Ying Zheng rarely got angry, but let out a long sigh: "Maybe you are right, it's time for me to reflect on myself."
Hearing this, Zhao Hao smacked his lips and couldn't help but said: "I use copper as a mirror to dress my clothes; I use history as a mirror to know the ups and downs; I use people as a mirror to know gains and losses."
Having said this, he paused and looked at Ying Zheng again: "Father, from now on, let me use my son as a mirror!"
Ying Zheng: "."
Why is this traitor starting to tease me again?
I have lived for most of my life and still want to educate my son?
This is simply unreasonable!
However, this traitor can always say some shocking words to mirror others, which is quite novel.
And just when Ying Zheng was slandering Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao suddenly pointed down the mountain and said teasingly: "Father, look at the lights down the mountain, they should still be celebrating, right?"
"snort!"
Ying Zheng came to his senses instantly after hearing this, snorted coldly, and returned to Donghu Palace without even looking down the mountain.
at the same time.
Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai drank happily in the room.
After drinking a few drinks, Hu Hai started to dance.
Zhao Gao, who has been serving Ying Zheng for a long time, has never been able to drink. Today, he drank a few drinks as an exception. His alcohol capacity was astonishing. After drinking a pot of palace jade liquid, he still had some unfinished thoughts.
"Come here! Bring some more bottles of wine!"
Zhao Gao happily knocked on the table and asked the palace attendant to get the wine.
Li Si glanced at him and said with a smile, "Zhao Fu Ling has a good drinking capacity!"
"Hehehe"
Zhao Gao chuckled for a while, then looked at the wine bottle on Li Si's table, and said jokingly: "Li Tingwei has a good capacity for drinking, he drinks one more bottle than me!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Si threw his head back and laughed, as if he had returned to his youth overnight.
At that time, he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to bring Qin to unprecedented heights.
Huge power is at his feet.
Now, that huge power has fallen at his feet again, and it seems to be much greater than before. Vaguely, he saw his own mansion, changing from Tingwei's Mansion, to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and finally to the Prince Regent's Mansion in front of him.
Duke Zhou's regency will be immortal through the ages. I, Li Si's regency, won't my name go down in history?
After having a great time together, Li Si did not forget Yan Le. On the day Yan Le returned to Xianyang, he sent someone to call him over overnight.
Now after three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Yan Le also appeared in front of them.
Zhao Gao was satisfied with his son-in-law no matter how he looked at him.
Hu Hai even personally promised that after he ascended the throne, he would make Yan Le a high official.
Only Li Si was serious and began to ask Yan Le seriously.
"Yan Le, I want to ask you, what is the aftermath of Jiuyuan?" Li Si said seriously.
Yan Le said respectfully: "Back to Li Tingwei, everything is not going smoothly, but generally everything is going well!"
"oh?"
Li Si narrowed his eyes slightly.
Zhao Gao and Hu Hai also listened attentively.
If Yan Le said everything went well, they would definitely doubt Yan Le.
After all, Meng Tian is not someone who can be dealt with easily.
But Yan Le said to himself again: "The death of the eldest son is thanks to Li Fu who sacrificed his life to supervise the imperial edict. If it weren't for Li Fu, it would be difficult for the matter to succeed."
"You said this matter has something to do with Li Fu?"
Li Si frowned and asked.
Yan Le nodded seriously: "On the day when the villain read out the edict, Meng Tian stopped Fusu from being summoned, saying that he would invite the late emperor again. Later, the villain refused him, and he imprisoned the villain again, saying that he would go south in person to meet him. the late emperor;
Although Li Fu was not the emperor's special envoy, he also served as the emperor's special envoy;
During the time when the villain was imprisoned by Meng Tian, Li Fu took advantage of Meng Tian's absence and took the initiative to ask for help to imprison Fusu. As a result, they were forced to fight to the death, and Fusu was ordered to commit suicide! "
"What about Li Furen?" Zhao Gao couldn't help but ask.
Yan Le sighed, lowered his head and said: "Killed by the angry General Jiuyuan!"
"What!?"
Li Si stood up from his seat.
Hu Hai quickly stepped forward to help him and comforted him in a low voice: "Li Tingwei expresses my condolences. Li Fu was loyal to the country. Hu Hai will remember this in his heart and will compensate his family in the future!"
"But."
"Okay Li Tingwei, it's just Li Fu, why do you care so much? The most important thing now is Meng Tian!"
Zhao Gao reminded him with an indifferent expression.
Li Si reacted instantly and looked at Yan Le again.
Yan Le continued; "As soon as I learned that Fusu had been summoned, I rushed to inspect the body excitedly, but was frightened by Sergeant Jiuyuan who was surrounded by darkness.
In desperation, he could only run to find Meng Tian, wanting to see Meng Tian's reaction;
Meng Tian was surprisingly indifferent and did not give me a good look. He just said calmly: I must wait for the eldest son's funeral to be over before he can be jailed and wait for the interrogation of the Tingwei Mansion! "
"How can this be done? Why don't you let him commit suicide according to the imperial edict?!" Hu Hai interrupted with some displeasure.
Li Si and Zhao Gao glanced at him but made no comment.
Obviously, they also agreed with Hu Hai's discussion.
But Yan Le shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I wanted Meng Tian to commit suicide according to the imperial edict, but Wang Li and a group of Jiuyuan generals wanted to skin me alive, so I could only do the next best thing and escort Meng Tian back to Xianyang."
"this"
The three Li Si looked at each other and remained silent.
In fact, they all understand Yan Le's helplessness very well. Even if it were them, they would not necessarily do better than Yan Le.
Therefore, they did not criticize Yan Le harshly.
"What about the military power? Did Meng Tian hand it over to Wang Li?" Zhao Gao asked coldly.
Yan Le respectfully replied, "On the second day after Fusu was buried, Meng Tian summoned all the generals of Jiuyuan, even the villains.
The villain saw with his own eyes that Meng Tian handed the soldier seal letter to Wang Li. "
"That Wang Li"
"Wang Li is not from the same group as us. The first thing he did when he took over the military power was to attack the villain. He not only asked the villain to treat Meng Tian well, but also sent hundreds of soldiers to protect Meng Tian's safety.
The villain originally wanted to kill Meng Tian on the way, but was almost killed by those soldiers on the way. Fortunately, Meng Tian stopped him in time, otherwise he would not be able to return to Xianyang. "
"this"
Li Si and the other three were speechless again.
In the end, Yan Le explained some of Meng Tian's words and deeds on the way, and the matter was smoothly passed over.
It wasn't until the sky turned pale, Li Si made a decision and made clear the follow-up strategy that the banquet ended smoothly.
When Li Si returned to his residence drunk, Hu Hai burped and fell asleep, and Zhao Gao called Yan Le to his study again.
"father in law."
Yan Le bowed respectfully to Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao looked at him expressionlessly for a while, until he felt slightly weak, and then asked seriously: "Are you hiding something from me?"
"ah?"
Yan Le was shocked and almost fell to his knees.
"snort!"
Zhao Gao snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Do you think I can't see through your little tricks?"
"Father-in-law, son-in-law"
Yan Le didn't expect Zhao Gao to be so wise, so he knelt down directly.
It's over, it's over.
I knew this old guy was not easy to fool.
It seems that I still made a wrong bet!
Young Master Hao is harming me!
Woohoo, I'm going to die!
Seeing Yan Le lying on the ground and shaking all over, Zhao Gao suddenly smiled and thought that this kid was really scared, so he helped him up:
"Don't be afraid. I won't blame you. On the contrary, I appreciate you very much. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain!"
"?"
A black question mark slowly appeared on Yan Le's forehead, and he couldn't help asking cautiously: "Does father-in-law know?"
"Ah!"
Zhao Gao sneered, showing an expression like "I've seen through you already" and asked leisurely, "Then Li Fu, was it you who killed him?"
"ah?"
Yan Le was immediately confused and didn't know how to interface.
But he saw Zhao Gao frowning: "What, now that the matter has come to this, you still don't admit it?"
"No, father-in-law, my son-in-law just didn't expect it."
"hehe."
Zhao Gao smiled and waved his hand to interrupt what Yan Le wanted to say, patted his shoulder and said: "Young people are scary. When you return to Xianyang, I will recommend you to serve as the Xianyang Order. Do good things in the future, and I will never treat you badly!"
"promise!"
Yan Le respectfully agreed, but was moved to tears and fell at Zhao Gao's feet.
Paralyzed!
I'm scared to death!
I thought you knew I betrayed you.
One night passed, and the situation in Ganquan Mountain did not change at all.
Apart from Li Si and others, the only people who can know the news from the outside world are Zhao Hao and Ying Chengyu.
Regarding Fusu's death, Ying Chengyu behaved very calmly from beginning to end, as if he had already anticipated Fusu's outcome.
However, compared to Ying Chengyu's calmness, Ying Ziyang was much more excited.
"Hahaha! God is really helping me! God is helping me!"
Ying Ziyang laughed heartily in the military tent.
Ying Chengyu glanced at him lightly and said calmly: "With Fusu's death, Li Si and Zhao Gao can finally feel at ease. Now, we have to prepare."
"Yes, yes, we have to prepare too. How is the funds you have raised? How many customers can you recruit?"
"Zhao Hao has come out. Li Si and Zhao Gao have not taken action against Zhao Hao for a long time. It is impossible for us to cooperate anymore!"
"That's right! This kid Zhao Hao must die!" Ying Ziyang stopped his smile and said coldly.
Ying Chengyu nodded: "I have already made arrangements for the Bai family. With the relationship between Zhao Hao and Ba Qing, Qing's Trading Company will never stand idly by!"
"Then Zhao Hao is extremely smart. He wouldn't have guessed that we would take action against him?" Ying Ziyang asked.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth. The smile on his gloomy cheeks looked frightening and indifferent.
Ying Ziyang frowned slightly: "Have you already thought of a way to deal with him?"
“What’s the best way to deal with smart people?”
"What?" Ying Ziyang asked.
Ying Chengyu chuckled: "Actually, the Bai family is just a chess piece of mine. What I really want to do is distract Zhao Hao. Three years ago, an expert came to me and said that my son would become the future King Qin, I didn’t believe it at the time, because since Ying Zheng became the first emperor, there has been no King of Qin in the Qin Dynasty.”
"Oh?" Ying Ziyang whispered.
Ying Chengyu took a deep look at him and continued: "Later, Zhao Hao killed my son, and I realized that Zhao Hao could also predict some things. So, I followed the instructions of the expert and agreed. Zhao Gao’s cooperation.”
"The result was just as the expert expected, Zhao Gao and Li Si really succeeded in usurping power."
At this point, he stopped talking and looked directly into Ying Ziyang's eyes, as if to dig out a trace of fear or shock from Ying Ziyang's eyes.
But Ying Ziyang and him looked at each other calmly, their eyes as clear as a calm lake.
After a long silence, Ying Ziyang showed a faint smile: "The master Chang'an Jun mentioned should be Tang Juzhi, right?"
"You know him?"
Now it was Ying Cheng's turn to be surprised.
But I heard Ying Ziyang continue: "It was also three years ago that Tang Juzhi found me. He told me that there was a meritorious service waiting for me and asked me to pay attention to it. If I missed this opportunity, I might not have it in the future. Later. , Zhao Gao found me as expected."
Hearing this, Ying Chengxuan was silent for a while: "Back then, Ying Zheng encountered many assassinations on his way back from Zhao. A team of Qing soldiers risked their lives to save him, and he finally arrived in Xianyang safely.
However, the descendants of that Qingguo army hated him very much. Among them, Jing Ke was the most typical example. And Tang Juzhi seemed to have been in contact with him. "
"How many people hate Ying Zheng?" Ying Ziyang smiled coldly.
"But this Tang Juzhi is extraordinary. We'd better keep an eye out."
"No matter how unusual it is, so what? Can he still overthrow our Great Qin?"
Ying Ziyang shook his head and smiled: "Without Ying Zheng in the Qin Dynasty, we still have us. After all, the world will still have the surname Ying!"
"hehe."
Ying Chengqiao smiled noncommittally.
At this moment, a report came from outside the door: "Jing Yangjun, Bai Li of Bai's Trading Company is asking for an audience outside the camp!"
"Um?"
Ying Ziyang was slightly startled, and subconsciously turned to look at Ying Chengyu.
Ying Chengyu whispered: "I asked him to come here to find me if he had something to do. It seems that something happened. Let him come in and I will ask him!"
"good!"
Ying Ziyang nodded in response and immediately ordered outside the tent: "Let him come in!"
"promise."
Soon, Bai Li was brought to Ying Ziyang's military tent by two sergeants.
"The villain Bai Li has met these two gentlemen!"
"No gift!"
Ying Chengyu waved his hand to Bai Li, and then asked directly: "What happened?"
"Back to Chang'an Lord, the Qing's Trading Company has become chaotic."
"oh?"
