Chapter 184: Your Majesty, I'll Give You a Pot
Prime Minister's Office.
Lang Zhong ordered Zhao Cheng to rush over quickly.
Zhao Gao quickly said the matter, and Zhao Cheng frowned tightly.
"Brother, that person has no evidence, just relying on one mouth to say, what if the king of Han does not recognize it in the future?" Zhao Cheng raised his concerns.
There is no basis for what they say, and if the king is not hungry at all, if he does not admit that he has sent someone to talk about this matter, what can they do to deal with it?
You can't beat it, and once you do it, it's really at the mercy of others.
"So what's not? The Han army is coming, what can you and my brother do? Zhao Gao looked at his younger brother.
The two of them are now grasshoppers on a rope, the kind that can't run away.
"No, the risk is too great, now we don't have Yan Le's support, it is difficult to ...... with the strength in our hands alone" Zhao Cheng shook his head.
Yan Le's death was what made him most depressed.
At the beginning, he said no, Yan Le transferred out, but as a result, Yan Le and Zhao Gao both felt uncomfortable not to grasp this opportunity.
As a result, within a few months of going out, Yan Le was gone.
Now, they have lost someone in Xianyang City who can directly provide them with military support.
In this case, it is not so easy to do it.
"Without Yan Le and Zhao Le, Wang Le, if you don't do it now, there will really be nothing for us to do next......" Zhao Gao said meaningfully.
"Brother......" Zhao Cheng still wanted to persuade again.
But Zhao Gao was a little impatient, and directly waved his hand, interrupting Zhao Cheng's words.
"Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the King of Han is here, you and my brother can't be good, and the fate of you and my brother is tied to Qin Ting, so we have to gamble!"
Zhao Cheng didn't know what to say.
What Zhao Gao said is indeed reasonable, Qin is finished, and the two of them will also be finished.
Qin II is becoming more and more dishonest now, but he has been overpowered by Zhao Gao in the past two years, and he has not been able to grasp any power to resist for the time being.
If the Han army comes, the second will surrender the city, and at this time, in order to appease Guanzhong, the king of Han will at least make the second or Ziying the king of Guanzhong.
Don't these two know what they're doing?
Of course they know, so they will definitely find a way to kill Brother Zhao Gao.
So the question is, why didn't they get rid of the two brothers with the help of the Han king?
"This needs to be considered in the long run......"
……
Five days later, news of the Han scouts beginning to be active in various parts of Guanzhong reached Xianyang.
Although most of the old Qin people were dissatisfied with Qin, there would still be some die-hard loyalists.
The news came from these die-hard loyalists.
It doesn't matter if there are scouts in one place, but there are a large number of scouts in the entire eastern part of Guanzhong, what does it mean?
It means that Hangu Pass has really rebelled.
Because Xianyang has not received information from Hanguguan for at least ten days, this is an extremely abnormal phenomenon.
Zhao Gao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Don't rush.
The Han army made too much noise, and they would soon be able to come to Xianyang, but they didn't do anything on their side.
On this day, Zhao Gao decided to do it.
But it was not against Qin II.
In the palace, Zhao Gao was still presiding over political affairs as the prime minister, and Qin II sat on it, watching the people below perform like a doll.
As the Great Qin Emperor, everything that happened in front of him had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't even make his own decisions, who to promote? Who will be removed from office.
Although there are still loyal ministers in the court who are willing to be loyal to him, Qin II also knows that the biggest loyal ministers have been almost cleaned up by Zhao Gao, and although the rest also have backbone, their official positions are not high, and Zhao Gao has not taken them too seriously.
One after another political affairs were reported one after another, and Zhao Gao took the place of Qin II to make countermeasures.
"Your Majesty! Recently, the minister heard that the old nobles of the six countries seemed to have moved, so they sent people to check, but they died, the minister thought that these people were still thieves, and felt that the Han army was now powerful, and wanted to do something in Xianyang to respond to the Han army, and prepare for the future return to the country, and the minister implored His Majesty to give an order to find out the matter and severely punish these old nobles with different intentions......" An unknown small official suddenly stood up and reported.
"Your Majesty, the recent situation is not favorable to Great Qin, and there is no chaos in Xianyang City!" Zhao Gao nodded, turned to Qin II and said.
Hum......
Qin II snorted coldly in his heart.
It would be strange if he couldn't see that all this was directed and acted by Zhao Gao.
Of course, the person who reported was arranged by Zhao Gao, and there were still many officials under Zhao Gao's prestige.
As for what Zhao Gao means?
Hehe......
"The old nobles of the Six Kingdoms have been unusually stable for many years, and I am afraid that they have no intention of rebelling, and now there are many thieves, and Guanzhong needs to stabilize the people's hearts, I feel that hearing may not be true......
"Your Majesty, governing the country needs to be precautionary, did Your Majesty ever think that King Han had the intention of rebelling in the past? Once the old nobles of the Six Nations have a chance, they will inevitably resurrect, and at that time, Your Majesty will have no chance to deal with it! Zhao Gao directly interrupted Qin II's words with a displeased face.
This emperor is really getting more and more out of control, so let him accompany the Six Kingdoms on the road when the time comes......
Zhao Gao wanted Qin II to give an order, which would be beneficial to himself.
But Qin II obviously saw through Zhao Gao's intentions, so he just didn't open this mouth.
Didn't you Zhao Gao want to do something?
Anyway, you have the right to do it yourself.
Want me to take the blame?
Hehe......
Hehehe......
"Your Majesty has an order, the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms don't think about the emperor's grace, and they want to take the opportunity to make trouble at a time of national disaster, and their hearts can be punished, so they will be arrested and beheaded immediately!" Zhao Gao directly turned around and said to the minister.
The smile in Qin II's heart gradually stiffened: ......
It was only then that he remembered, and he seemed to have forgotten a little.
Now this court is Zhao Gao's decision.
Even if Zhao Gao said the decision to kill the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms here, what can be passed out is still the decision made by him Qin II.
Zhao Gao's prestige is only spread in the officialdom, and the common people naturally still think that it is Qin II who is in charge.
Therefore, this pot really has to be carried by Qin II.
And Zhao Gao is too lazy to talk to Qin II anymore, give you a chance to speak, since you don't grasp it yourself, then don't blame me for being rude.
Revolt?
Inexistent......
Of course, in the palace, Zhao Gao couldn't do anything more excessive.
Covering the sky with one hand, he can't do it now, such as the forbidden army guarding the palace, he doesn't listen to Zhao Gao's dispatch, and no one can touch them.
But Qin II is only limited to this, out of this palace gate, it is Zhao Gao's world.
"Prime Minister, ...... you" Qin II looked at Zhao Gao in shock, and there was an inexplicable sense of panic in his heart.
"Your Majesty, don't be deceived by the traitors around you, if the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms are in chaos, then Daqin will really be gone, and the ministers are Qin Xiang, even if they are swords, mountains and fires, they must strive to ensure the stability of Daqin......"
