Handan.

In the heart of the city, there is a splendid mansion.

Zhao Gao sighed deeply, and his sideburns were full of white. His face was pale, looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, his right hand was trembling, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat. This bamboo slip was sent by Qin Shi Huang. There are about twenty or thirty words on it, just one sentence.

[You don't know Qin En, dare to go against the sky, and go against the law and run rampant. Qin sealed the Rufu Decree and was in a high position. What is the credit to Qin? 】

The front is actually fine, but the last sentence makes him creepy. These words were originally written by Qin Shi Huang to Lü Buwei. Lü Buwei was not directly given death by Qin Shi Huang, and it was absolutely not wronged to say that it was indirect......

In the ninth year of the reign of King Qin, the rebellion of Chang Yu was razed by the three tribes, and the two sons of Chang Yu and the Queen Mother were killed. Originally, the King of Qin wanted to kill Lü Buwei, but because of his meritorious service to the previous king, and many guest debaters lobbied for him, the King of Qin could not bear to bring him to justice.

In October of the following year, Lü Buwei was deposed from Xiangguo and sent to the fiefdom of Henan. As a result, a year later, there was an endless stream of envoys from the princes, guests, and Lu Buwei as guests. When the king of Qin found out, he was worried that he would cause trouble, so he sent him a letter.

The content of the letter is very simple, that is, he wants to move Lü Buwei to Shu, and ask him what credit he has for the Qin State?

As a result, it is well known that Lü Buwei committed suicide by drinking. In fact, with Chang Yu in front, Lu Buwei was worried that it would be his turn, and if he was also destroyed by the three clans at that time, it would be too late to regret it. Therefore, Lü Buwei had no choice but to commit suicide by drinking, hoping that Qin Shi Huang would remember the old feelings. Similar to what Lu Buwei thought, although he is dead, his relatives are fine.

Looking at the content of the bamboo slips, Zhao Gao's face was like ashes. Qin Shi Huang did not say it explicitly, but used this means to warn him. What he has done, Qin Shi Huang knows in his heart. One by one, they can't escape the eyes of Qin Shi Huang. With the ability of the Xuanniao Guard, it is not difficult to find out.

"Women's ......"

There was also a young man in the temple.

He is not very old, about 20 points. He is Zhao Gao's son-in-law - Yan Le, and the title of father-in-law means father-in-law in later generations. But it's the Qin Dynasty now, so there's no father-in-law at all.

Yan Le's background is not high, and he became a squire under the recommendation of Zhao Gao before. But now he is cold, because of Zhao Gao, he was also demoted to Handan, and his titles and official positions were all dismissed. Over the years, Yan Le has helped him do things in secret, and it can be said that he knows a lot of secrets.

"Call my brother to see me."

Zhao Gao put down the bamboo slip and sighed deeply. Since being demoted to Handan, Zhao Gao can't figure out many things. More or less, I also received a lot of news, including a lot of things that Bai Ji did. Papermaking and steelmaking, cultivating auspiciousness, building a school palace, and the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu......

One by one, one by one, in front of him. The more he does, the slimmer and slimmer his chances of being activated, simply put, Bai Ji squeezed his position and did it better, and it was naturally more difficult for him to be reinstated.

Zhao Gao also thought that it was impossible for Qin Shi Huang to be impressed by his secret report, I was afraid that there was something else. Thinking about it carefully, since the moment Qin Shi Huang walked out of the Peach Blossom Spring, his attitude towards him has changed dramatically.

To be honest, he didn't know what he was wrong......

Soon, Zhao Cheng walked in. Zhao Cheng is Zhao Gao's younger brother, and he also belongs to the side branch of the Qin State Office, and has part of the office's bloodline. In later generations, he succeeded Lang Zhongling, succeeded Lang Zhongling, and also participated in the change of Wangyi Palace. He did a lot of things secretly, and it was also according to Zhao Gao's meaning.

It's a pity that this is in the Qin State, no matter what they do, it is to see the meaning of Qin Shi Huang. Once upon a time, there was an endless stream of guests in Zhao Gao's mansion, and there were countless carriages and horses. But since Zhao Gao was demoted, almost no one dares to associate with him anymore.

"Big brother."

"Sit."

Zhao Gao raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down for the time being. Looking at the turbid wine in front of him, Zhao Gao was speechless for a long time.

"I have received a letter from the Emperor. After today, you must lead your people well, and get rid of what you should not do as soon as possible. ”

"Understood." Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Gao with some puzzlement, "Why did the eldest brother say that today?" ”

"Something...... Had to do it. ”

Zhao Gao sighed deeply. He knew very well in his heart what Qin Shi Huang meant by sending him this bamboo slip. Give him a decent death, and give his people a chance. If all these incriminating evidence are put on the surface, the three tribes of Yi will not be excessive.

Looking at the turbid wine in front of him, he didn't think much about it, picked up the wine bottle and drank it all. Qin Shi Huang has already given him enough face, if he is not interested, his people will all be cold. Killing him alone can be exchanged for the safety of the clansmen, which is very cost-effective.

Half an hour later, Zhao Cheng's mournful wail came from Zhao Mansion. Then, a few people rode away from the mansion, and they were sent to monitor Zhao Gao's Xuanniao Guard. Now that it is confirmed that Zhao Gao is dead, he naturally has to go back to his life.

"History of Qin": Only in the twenty-ninth year, Zhao Gao was afraid of crime and died by drinking.

……

……

The news of Zhao Gao's suicide soon spread throughout Xianyang, and Bai Ji, who was located in Jingyang, naturally also got the news. Looking at the bamboo slip and slowly putting it down, history is always strikingly similar. This time, Qin Shi Huang will do this, with deep intentions. Bai Ji sent "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and he naturally thought of the previous events.

This time, the northern expedition of Baiji to the Xiongnu won a complete victory, coupled with the ripening of potatoes, it can be pushed to the whole country in another year. And these are all the credit of Bai Ji, so Qin Shi Huang wants to give Bai Ji an explanation, which can be regarded as a warning to everyone. Zhao Gao secretly slandered Bai Ji, and the result was death......

Of course, the truth is only known to Li Xin and Meng Yi. Zhao Gao's death was not only because of his secret slander, but also because of what he might do. Qin Shi Huang could give Hu Hai and Li Si a chance, but he would not give Zhao Gao a chance.

Li Si is in a high position and has excellent ability. The lust for power is not necessarily a bad thing, but if it can be used properly, it can be a good thing for him. And Hu Hai, not to mention, is Qin Shi Huang's favorite young son. Now that he has been cultivated, he is okay, and there is no reason to deal with him. Naturally, Zhao Gao was unlucky......

"The king, the king, Zhao Gao committed suicide."

Chun Yu ran in as quickly as he could.

"What, why don't I light a string of firecrackers to celebrate?"

"Firecrackers?"

"It's firecrackers."

"Isn't that okay?"

"And you're still so happy?"

Chun Yuyue suddenly smiled awkwardly, and said helplessly: "The gentleman doesn't know, Yue has also had conflicts with Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao secretly ordered his relatives to sell salt for personal gain in Xianyang in the past, and even hid armor soldiers. It should have been beheaded according to the law, but the emperor pardoned it. ”

So that's what happened......

After all, there are only a few records in the history books, and many things have been annihilated in the long river of time. Such a thing as rebellion and tampering with the edict could never just be thought of suddenly, but was carefully planned. A close minister like Zhao Gao, who is a high-ranking and powerful minister, is secretly a little prepared, and it is natural that he should be prepared.

"If you're dead, you're dead, don't be so excited."

Bai Ji glanced at Chun Yuyue, who is also a doctor, so it is inevitable that he will be truthful. It was not easy for Qin Shi Huang to make such a decision, the matter was over, and there was no need to celebrate it with such fanfare.

"Your Majesty, someone is coming to visit."

"Who?"

"Shudi Linqiong Zhuo's Lai." Shang Niu said respectfully, "I brought a lot of people here, it seems that I came here for the school district room." ”

Only then did Bai Ji remember that there was indeed such a person at that time.

"Let him in."

He was also very interested in this big businessman, but unfortunately he left relatively early at that time. Since I came here now, let's talk about it, after all, he is also a big donor who donated money.
