Chapter 101 Intrigue

April 28, 3rd year of the Great Qin II.

night.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the study, Zhao Gao, who has always paid attention to the way of health preservation, has been staying here for several nights. The military situation is urgent and the rebels are in a hurry, so he, the Prime Minister, has to worry about it.

Inside the house, Yan Le, who had just returned to the city, lowered his head and stood nervously, with dense beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He had just reported the negotiation process with Fu Ge word by word, without missing a single detail. However, Zhao Gao did not say a word after hearing it for a long time. The unpredictable expression on Zhao Gao's face made Yan Le feel stressed.

Yan Le knew very well about this father's temper. You must not talk too much when Zhao Gao doesn't speak, otherwise what awaits you will be "serious" consequences.

"Zhao Cheng, tell me your opinion?" After a long time, Zhao Gao slowly spit out a few words.

The minister Zhao Cheng was in his forties, and was about 10 years younger than his elder brother Zhao Gao. He coughed lightly and cleared his throat: "Brother, Fu Ge is playing the trick of killing people with a knife. I am worried, what if Fu Ge doesn't keep his promise after Hu Hai is killed?"

Killing the emperor——This is different from killing an ordinary person on the street.

Not everyone is willing to blame Shi Jun’s reputation, even if this emperor is already a tyrant that everyone scolds.

Many people in Zhao Gao's party understand this point. Now, they can have the power today mainly because they are backed by Hu Hai, the big tree. Once this big tree is cut down, it is hard to say whether they will still have the glory today.

"Father, how can you repent what you have decided? It is not easy to talk about the chaos. My son has finally reached this agreement. Hu Hai's head must be handed over within two days. You can't hesitate about this matter anymore. Otherwise, who would resist the tens of thousands of troops outside the city? As for the emperor, after Hu Hai was awarded the title of head, we will establish another new king." Yan Le heard that Zhao Cheng had the intention of repentance and hurriedly advised him.

Yan Le was very dissatisfied with Zhao Cheng's opposition. It was easy to say sarcastic words and difficult to work. As a negotiator with a mission and the Xianyang Order, Yan Le attached great importance to the oral agreement he had made. At the same time, he understood more that it would be impossible to resist the regular soldiers outside by relying on the "tiger and wolf" soldiers in his hands.

"Go, I'll leave this to you!"

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Gao finally let go. Shi Jun is the emperor. Hu Hai has been in the position of emperor for more than three years, so it is time to change people.

In addition to Fu Ge's attack on the army at the city, there is another reason. This morning, the second emperor, who had always ignored political affairs, actually sent an eunuch to the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate the suppression of bandits in Guandong. The eunuch said that Hu Hai had a great reproach for Zhao Gao in his words.

"Children, I can help you to the throne and take you off!" Zhao Gao was of course indignant about Hu Hai's attitude. If it weren't for me, Zhao Gao, you, the emperor, would have been overthrown by the thugs long ago.

Hu Hai was so relaxed that he could enjoy everything he should enjoy and play everything he should play. However, Hu Hai had never done a good job in the government affairs that he should be an emperor.

Yan Le followed the instructions and wanted to gather enough troops. After all, breaking into the palace and killing the emperor was a ruthless thing. There were many eunuchs, men and eunuchs in the palace who would try their best to stop this "mutine".

The lights flicker and darker.

Just like the mood of two people in the house, the five thoughts are mixed.

"Oh, everyone in the Qin Dynasty thought that it was me, Zhao Gao, who ruined the government affairs. In fact, they didn't know my difficulties!" Zhao Gao sighed, with a sad face.

"Brother, once Hu Hai dies, we should quickly establish a new king. In the opinion of my brother, it is better to make Ziying, the son of the eldest son of the old emperor, the new emperor. Ziying is wise and talented, and is very popular with the people of Xianyang. If we support him, the rebels outside the city will have no excuses. When the rebels retreat, we should control Ziying like Hu Hai. The government of the Qin Dynasty is still the final decision of our surname Zhao." Zhao Cheng advised.

Zhao Gao nodded and said, "Ziying is not as risky as Hu Hai. If you want to establish him, you will take a lot of risk, but under the current circumstances, you can only do this. This matter will be left to the inner history Ling Han Tan. He and Ziying have an old acquaintance."

"Brother, I don't know whether I should talk or not?" Seeing that the matter was discussed, there were only two people in the room. Zhao Cheng hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"What's the matter? What's wrong with you and my brother?" Zhao Gao said.

"It's so. During the day, I saw Yan Le and the rebel leader Fu Ge talking on the city tower, looking very intimate. They whispered to each other, as if they were avoiding what others were saying?" Zhao Chengdao.

Zhao Gao was stunned and said slowly: "Didn't Yan Le say that Fu Ge secretly asked him for a beautiful maid in the palace before leaving?"

"Brother, I think Yan Le's words are unreliable. Fu Ge is a soldier who started a riot. It is rumored that this person is extremely murderous and is as blood-devouring as crazy. Even the evil star Xiang Yu dares to fight. How could such a person be afraid of being inside? In my opinion, Yan Le is afraid that he has hidden something?" Zhao Chengdao.

"You mean Yan Le has a strange intention?" Zhao Gao's face changed, and there was a faint murderous intent in his eyes.

Xianyang ordered Yan Le to control the power of the Xianyang army to mobilize. If he deliberately colluded with the rebels outside, this would be a great trouble. If he did not eliminate it early, there would be endless troubles.

"Brother, I heard that Yan Le and Rong'er had a very unhappy relationship these days--." Seeing Zhao Gao's heartbeat, Zhao Cheng continued to add fuel to his temper.

Zhao Rong is Zhao Gao's adopted daughter. Prime Minister Zhao Gao has no energy to take care of the fights between husband and wife. Naturally, Zhao Rong, who was wronged, cried and told her uncle Zhao Cheng.

The niece was angry. Zhao Cheng was originally disliked Yan Le’s “hobby” of seeking flowers and asking Liu, and now he lost his favor.

"I understand this. You have worked harder during this period. Pay more attention to Yan Le's every move. If you find any abnormal movement, come back and report it quickly. In addition, tomorrow morning, you go to Yan Le's residence and take his mother over, and say that Rong'er wants to get together with her." Zhao Gao pressed his forehead lightly and sighed.

Although there are many officials in the court, there are no generals who can be appreciated by themselves and are willing to obey orders. If Yan Le is killed because of the suspicious points above, then he, the prime minister, will really become a bare-headed person. Of course, the intention to guard against others is necessary. With Yan Le's mother as the "hostage", even if Yan Le wants to have any intention of engaging in activities, he has to think about it carefully.
