On the day of the earthquake, Zhao Gao was seriously injured. He originally arranged for Guo Kai to take action three days later, but before he fell into coma, he issued an order: Send someone to inform Guo Kai that the plan had changed and take action immediately, and told him that the earthquake was a good opportunity to deceive others.
It was Guo Kai who encouraged King Zhao to kill the man, but Zhao Gao kept a back-up plan without telling Guo Kai. The person who did the killing quietly infiltrated the spy, and the spy deliberately left a clue. When the time comes, as long as Zhao Gao lets the "truth come out", Zhao Wangqian will definitely get into trouble, but he has nothing to do with Qin from the beginning to the end.
When arranging this matter at the beginning, Zhao Gao only asked about the situation and did not get involved. It was really not as simple as Guo Kai thought, "Zhao Gao was completely confident in his ability, so he let him go." People who do not participate directly are actually deliberately avoiding suspicion.
After all, Young Master Jiaxian had a good reputation and had been friends with Li Mu since he was a child. If he was killed like this, once the matter was exposed and it was found that the Qin State was responsible for it, his reputation would definitely be unforgivable. Zhao Gao was still waiting for Li Mu to surrender to Qin, but there was no way he would let such a thing happen no matter what.
He used Zhao Wangqian's hand to kill Gongzi Jia, completely eliminating the possibility of this debt being blamed on Qin. Guo Kai was so moved by his "trust" that Zhao Gao didn't try to expose it and was happy to let him misunderstand.
As for Zhao Wangqian, from the beginning to the end, he thought that he had used the earthquake to take advantage of his brother-killing act, and he had done it perfectly. However, unexpectedly, one of the people who did it had already been an insider, and important clues about him had been left. .
At present, almost all the people in Zhao State thought that the kind-hearted and kind-hearted governor of Daijun, Prince Jia, died in the earthquake. Even Li Mu, who was too busy to go back to pay homage, did not doubt him. It can be seen that Zhao Gao arranged a disguise and kept the news hidden. The effect is pretty good.
When the time is right and the edict of King Zhao's change of general is sent to Li Mu's shogunate, Zhao Gao will choose the opportunity to have people produce evidence and release the news that King Zhao Qian killed Gongzi Jia.
It is not terrible that things happen slowly. What is terrible is that all the things come together and explode. The king he serves does not trust him and wants to change his generals at the last moment. He cuts off dissidents for his own selfish interests. He imposes excessive taxes and is extravagant and licentious regardless of the life and death of the people... If When Li Mu learned about these things one after another, what would he think?
What Zhao Gao wants is Li Mu's complete despair for King Zhao, and Li Mu's complete despair.
In the past, people said that weak scholars harmed the country with empty talk. Yang Duanhe believed it. He felt that these people were weak in humanities and hypocrisy. This one could not be killed, and that one could not resist. They were really useless.
But when I met this person in front of me...
After tying together what happened before and after a rough guess, Yang Duanhe also felt a chill on Li Mu's back. Although Zhao Gao looked gentle, polite and courteous, he did have the elegance of a Confucian scholar. But this man, who looks like a good and honest man on the outside, is actually "cruel and ruthless".
What was even more unexpected was that he discovered that Zhao Gao could actually do it: be ruthless and generous, and be black and magnanimous.
Thinking of this, he once again cursed: You really can't mess with such a cruel scholar!
At this point, Yang Duanhe finally felt more relieved and thought to himself: It seems that the king is not here to supervise military affairs, but is just waiting for the time to persuade him to surrender. Now he only came a few days early, but he was too sensitive and restrained, which made it difficult for him to do it.
After talking about the business, their eyes all fell on General Bai. Zhao Zheng was not in a hurry. He first helped Zhao Gao sit down on a bamboo mat not far away, and then...
General Bai watched helplessly as Zhao Zheng walked towards him step by step, with great fear in his heart. Every time Zhao Zheng took a step forward, he felt that the fear in his heart was getting stronger, slowly suppressing it one by one. It did not give him pleasure, but it made him feel the torment very clearly at all times.
He felt as if something was stuck in his throat, his breathing became more and more difficult, and he couldn't even speak. After a while, he actually wanted to end it quickly.
Just when Zhao Zheng was still three or two steps away from him, he was already suppressed by such aura and almost collapsed. He wanted to move back, but found that his whole body was paralyzed and he couldn't use any strength.
Zhao Zheng looked at Baijiang coldly and said calmly: "Originally, you didn't have to die, but now..."
As soon as Zhao Zheng left, Baijiang calmed down and thought for a long time. He had already prepared his words, but at this time he was frightened and could not speak properly: "Just... even if you are the king, you... you can't do it without reason. Use lynching!”
I thought he would beg for mercy, but Zhao Zheng was a little surprised by this. He raised his eyebrows and smiled quietly and asked him: "Really?" Before he could answer, Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed sharply, and he couldn't look hard at him: "According to Qin law: rhinoceros." [1] The following will be punished if you receive gold. The mere fact that your seal is taken away from me and that you intend to hide it privately is enough to kill you. Besides, as a hundred people, you conceal your good deeds and conceal your deceit, how can you do it? Allow you?"
Hearing what he said, Baijiang felt a "buzzing" sound in his ears. The last life-saving straw suddenly broke, and his whole body wilted. He looked at Zhao Zheng with a lifeless face, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Lazily walking around from behind General Bai to the other side, Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "And..." He deliberately lengthened the tail tone and glanced at Zhao Gao, who was not far away, and led Bai General to look over.
If he was a prisoner before, his appearance was impressive because of his wretchedness and frailty. But now, he has put on clean clothes and is properly combed, and his body has a charm that is as divine as clear water and as warm as jade. Even in such a dangerous situation, Baijiang would still feel thirsty looking at that person.
Zhao Zheng did not miss his scorching eyes, and twisted his head back with force, then lowered his head and stuck his hands on his neck, ignoring his pale face and suddenly dilated pupils, while exerting force and using only the two of them. The voice he could only hear whispered in his ear: "Even a humble man can't bear to let go of a rude person. If you covet him and even touch him, do you think you can still survive?"
Just now when he turned behind General Bai, General Bai felt a chill on his back. Later, he pinched General Bai's neck, lowered his head and said these words without hesitation, which frightened General Bai to the point of splitting his liver and gallbladder and turning pale.
However, that was just the beginning. Zhao Zheng blocked his mouth with something, calmly picked up his hand, pressed one of his fingers, and whispered in a low voice: "I only want to be with him alone in this life." After speaking, he pointed With a slight exertion on the tip, there was a crisp "click" sound. The general groaned and knelt down with big beads of sweat on his forehead, his eyes full of horror.
Zhao Zheng was unmoved, and pressed another finger and said quietly: "So I have already told you, you will regret touching him." Then there was another strange crisp sound, and the general was so painful that he couldn't breathe, and his body was shaking. , almost fainted.
After saying everything that needed to be said, Zhao Zhengcai threw him away in disgust. Not wanting to dirty his hands, he deliberately left him a breath, lazily uttered the word "do it", and then walked over to help Zhao Gao up.
When passing by General Bai, Zhao Gao thought of the two times Zhao Zheng was kicked by him before, and felt suffocated in his heart. His face turned cold, and then he suddenly "accidentally" tripped. After the same crisp sound, The Baijiang's face was completely distorted. Zhao Gao smiled leisurely and said apologetically: "I'm sorry."
Yang Duanhe coughed dryly when he saw this, wondering how on earth he provoked these two people, and they were so cruel.
When they moved into the military tent arranged by Yang Duan and the two of them, and there was no one around, Zhao Zheng pressed Zhao Gao onto the couch unceremoniously and placed him in place with three strokes, five divided by two.
Zhao Gao knew he couldn't defeat him, so he had no choice but to lie down according to his wishes. However, as soon as he lay down, he remembered what happened just now and couldn't help but ask: "What did you say to him that made him so surprised?"
Zhao Zheng paused for a moment while covering him up with the quilt, and suddenly asked without any end: "Xiao Gao, do you really hate and... Oh, forget it! It's nothing."
In fact, Zhao Zheng has lingering fears about what happened today. Although it is normal for Zhao Gao to show disgust when he is frivolous, he is afraid that Zhao Gao will look at him like that in the future, so he wants to ask Zhao Gao : Do you particularly hate being intimate with men? But in the middle of the sentence, he felt it was inappropriate, so he gave up.
Sensing Zhao Gao's surprised and dazed expression, Zhao Zheng hurriedly suppressed the strangeness in his heart, glanced at him with the end of his eyes, then looked away, and curved the corner of his mouth in a meaningful arc, obviously trying to attract Zhao Gao. Gao's question and his rambling words were ignored, and he didn't intend to file a complaint based on the truth.
After that, Yang Duanhe discovered that Zhao Zheng said he would not interfere in the military and political affairs, but he really did not interfere at all. The first two times, he had to come over and report what he had done. Later, when he saw his king wave his hand in earnest, he suddenly felt more at ease and stopped using those false etiquettes.
For Zhao Zheng, every time the Qin State prepares to raise troops, it is still difficult for him to take the overall situation. When it comes to the actual situation of sending out troops, he only knows the basics of leading troops to fight. He has only read a few military books and can talk about a soldier on paper. , so he did not point fingers at Yang Duanhe based on his status.
The two of them knew what was going on and asked no questions or said anything. Yang Duanhe took care of all arrangements in the army. They just stayed in the military tent arranged by Yang Duanhe and claimed to the outside world that they were being controlled by Yang Duanhe. Arraignment.
When the time was right, Yang Duanhe came out to a separate tent and pretended that they were imprisoned. He sent people to guard there every day. It really seemed like that. Soon Zhao Guoxin was instigated to rebel. It spread throughout the military camp.
Then he mixed up with two of Zhao Zheng's personal warriors to cover up others' eyes and ears, and added Weng Zhong by the way, and placed the four of them in a small military tent near the big tent.
When Weng Zhong received the news, he was wolfing down bean cakes.
"Can you eat it? [2] Just know how to eat it!" The Wu chief pointed at Weng Zhong and cursed angrily.
Weng Zhong nodded his head honestly, but it did not affect the movement of raising his hand to put the dry food into his mouth at all. He was eating completely forgetfully.
The captain looked at him and was so angry that he was furious.
In the army, the amount of dry rations given to each corps is fixed. Under normal circumstances, after each person is given a sufficient amount of dry rations, there will still be a little bit left over. Most corps commanders will keep the excess for preparation. An unexpected necessity when fighting as a team. However, there are some naughty people who hide this secret when others are not prepared.
Weng Zhong's appetite was astonishing. If he had to eat enough, there would be almost nothing left over. When the corps leader set his sights on him, he felt that after eight lifetimes of bad luck, he had no chance to hide his secrets.
In addition, the detailed work was clearly reported, but no reward order has been issued yet. He was in a really bad mood, so he took this opportunity to vent to Weng Zhong.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished scolding, he saw the person from the main tent coming to deliver the order in person. He was secretly rejoicing, thinking about what kind of reward he could get this time and whether he could be promoted to another level. Who would have thought that when people came to ask for Weng Zhong by name, they were not looking for him.
He looked at Weng Zhong in surprise and uncertainty. At this time, Weng Zhong had just raised his hand and touched a handful of bean cake dregs on his mouth. He looked at him in confusion. He couldn't figure out what went wrong: Did the higher-ups know that the person was actually arrested by Weng Zhong? of?
Disappointed, he reluctantly pricked up his ears to listen carefully to what was going on.
I learned that what they brought was a transfer order for Weng Zhong. It was not a promotion or a knighthood, but a flat transfer elsewhere. Wu Changfang secretly rejoiced: Not bad, not bad.
"Who is Sun Yi?"
"Subordinate Sun Yi." The corps commander thought that his commendation order had arrived, and his joy suddenly turned into ecstasy.
However……
"Sun Yi deceived his superiors and concealed his merits and lied about his achievements. He is guilty..."
Hearing the words "deceive one's superiors and conceal one's merits," the corps commander's mind buzzed, and he could no longer hear what the person who gave the order said next.
This time, the Wu Commander and the Hundred Generals were severely punished together, and everyone in the army was aware of the commotion. Yang Duanhe used them as examples and warned the generals that there is no room for sand in the Qin Dynasty. From now on, they will be Set an example, otherwise you will be punished according to the law and will not be tolerated.
