Chapter 1059: Worst Intentions

"Lizheng~"

Chen Yong and the other eleven teenagers snapped almost at the same time, and their heels were close together, and their bodies stood upright like javelins, with solemn faces.

"Take a break!" Chen Xu was very satisfied, and his serious expression relaxed slightly, "You are all brought by me from Qinghe Town, have you heard the story of Ben Hou being a pawn in Qinghe Town back then?" ”

"I've heard of it!" A group of teenagers replied loudly.

"Then which time have you heard that Ben Hou is the most imposing?"

"Kill the mountain and the snake!" Many teenagers said in unison.

"Hey, Hou Ye is asking about what happened after the Li Dian, when he killed the mountain snake, Hou Ye was not the Li Dian?" A young man who was more clever at first glance pouted.

"That's right!" A group of teenagers came back to their senses, scratched their ears and cheeks and thought about it, some said that they were killing tigers in the Wild Wolf Valley, some said that they were beating Ma Teng in Wancheng, some said that they were squeezing Mengyun in the paper workshop, and some said that they were exterminating the mountain bandits who hijacked taxes and grain.

"You're right, Ben Hou's most majestic thing is to exterminate those mountain bandits!" Chen Xu pointed at a young man and nodded, and then his face became serious again, "At the beginning, those mountain bandits were hiding near Qinghe Town, and they have been harming the nearby villagers for more than ten years, and the biggest good thing Ben Hou has done for Qinghe Town is to exterminate all these mountain bandits, if you let those mountain bandits hide near Qinghe Town, you people may also be captured by them and go up the mountain, and now you have also become mountain bandits!" ”

"Master Hou is right, I know that there is a beggar boy a few years older than me who was kidnapped by the mountain bandits, but I don't know if he became a mountain bandit or was killed by them to eat meat......"

"How can you eat meat, you must be a little mountain bandit!" Someone retorted.

"What's the difference, anyway, they were either killed or caught by Master Hou later, and in the end, they were all cut off by the county lieutenant!"

"It's different, I heard that there are still some women who haven't cut off their heads......"

"I'm talking about men!"

Although a group of teenagers have the momentum of the army, they must still be a group of former mountain boys, and they are familiar with each other every day, so they also like to raise the bar and fight with each other, Chen Xu did not interrupt their words, and waited until the group of people habitually raised the bar and quieted down, Chen Xu then spoke.

"You may have heard later, the group of mountain bandits was instigated by a person named Zhao Zhe to rob the tax grain of Qinghe Town, and that Zhao Zhe's father was once a big official in the court, Zhao Gao was ordered by the CRRC government, and later Zhao Gao Zhao Zhe conspired to kill Ben Hou, now almost everyone knows that Zhao Zhe was slaughtered by Princess Qingning because of the murder of Ben Hou in the palace, and Zhao Gao was also sent to Shu by the emperor because of the rebellion, according to the news that Ben Hou learned, Zhao Gao's family was killed by the mountain bandits in Shu, and Zhao Gao escaped with his life...... Now, he disguised himself as a Miao doctor and hid in the palace, definitely looking for an opportunity to murder Benhou to take revenge......"

"Zhao Gao dared to murder Hou Ye, since he is not dead, then let me kill him!" A teenager angrily drew the dagger from his waist.

"Yes, kill this bastard to avenge Lord Hou!" The rest of the teenagers all jumped up, including the commander Chen Yong.

"Lizheng~" Chen Xu gave an order, and a group of noisy and excited teenagers instantly stood upright and looked at Chen Xu without squinting.

"I came to you today, for this matter, I have a grudge against Zhao Gao for killing his son, he is now ruined, he must want to find an opportunity to find me to take revenge, and Ben Hou can't wait for him to kill me, so I want to kill him in advance!" Chen Xu said in a cold voice.

"Master Hou, you can arrange it, how can you kill Zhao Gao, this bastard!" Chen Yong clenched his fists angrily and said.

"There is only one Miao doctor in the palace, it is the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, and this Miao doctor is Zhao Gao pretending, he was the one who offered medicine to cure Li Si's disease, Zhao Gao is now unrecognizable, blind in one eye, not to speak, and his right leg is also a little lame, so as long as he comes out of the palace, it must be easy to recognize, what I want you to do is to find an opportunity to kill Zhao Gao after he came out of the palace, can you do it?"

Chen Xu looked at a group of teenagers, and after a group of teenagers also looked at each other, they knelt on one knee together under the leadership of Chen Yong.

"If it weren't for Hou Ye taking us in at that time, maybe we would have all starved to death, our lives were all given by Hou Ye, Hou Ye's enemies are our enemies, Hou Ye's enemies are our enemies, for Hou Ye, we will never give up, Hou Ye rest assured, we will definitely kill Zhao Gao!" Chen Yong said loudly.

"Killing Zhao Gao is one of them, you must hide your identity, and you can't let anyone know that this matter was arranged by Ben Hou, so you can't use the Taiyi God Musket!" Chen Xu advised.

"Don't worry, Hou Ye, we used to be beggars, there are a lot of beggars on this street, we will disguise ourselves as beggars and guard near the palace, once Zhao Gao comes out, kill him immediately, it will definitely not involve Hou Ye, if it is discovered by the forbidden army, we will kill ourselves, and we must strictly guard Hou Ye's secrets......" Chen Yong turned his head to look at the row of young men behind him and said coldly, "What the commander said, did you hear it!" ”

"I heard you!" A group of teenagers answered without hesitation.

"Okay, if you succeed in killing Zhao Gao, Ben Hou will not hesitate to reward, if any of you are injured, Ben Hou will support him for a lifetime, if someone dies, Ben Hou will bury him, and if there are relatives at home, Ben Hou will also support him for the rest of his life!"

"Master Xie!"

"Well, get up, Chen Yong is responsible for this matter, everything is arranged by him, keep it confidential, quickly, and leave no flaws, there is a small food stall selling pancakes near the east gate of the palace, you go and say that the king of heaven covers the tiger, he will return to you on the day of hoeing, if not, ignore him, if so, he will tell you about some movements in the palace!"

"Master Hou, what is that one who bought pancakes......" A teenager couldn't help but ask.

"Shut up, don't ask much!" Chen Yong interrupted the young man's words, then stood up and arched his hand and said, "Master Hou, as long as Zhao Gao is out of the palace, we will guarantee to complete the task!" ”

"Go, take care of yourselves, I hope you can all come back alive, and when the time comes, marry a wife and have children to enjoy glory and wealth, and it will not be in vain to fight with me, remember, you must see Zhao Gao die with your own eyes!" Chen Xu finally advised.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, we will definitely bring Zhao Gao's head back and go!" After Chen Yong saluted again, he quickly left the backyard with ten teenagers.

In order to keep an eye on Zhao Gao's whereabouts, Chen Xu has arranged for more than a year, and Zhao Gao is like a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding in the palace and never coming out.

But now, after learning that the emperor also had symptoms of poisoning, Chen Xu had to find a way to do it in advance, even if he lost a few lives.

Whether Qin Shi Huang dies or not will not be too sentimental for Chen Xu, after all, the two of them are not at the point of wearing the same pants, Chen Xu's ideal is just that he does not want to have violent turmoil in China after the collapse of Great Qin, and reproduce the tragic cannibalism and civilization destruction when Chu and Han fought for hegemony.

But now is the critical moment when Great Qin is vigorously developing, and Chen Xu's many reforms need the support of the emperor, once Qin is greatly hung up, and there is no prince, it is estimated that the court will instantly become a pot of porridge, and various reforms may stagnate, if the court and the princes fight too hard, it is not impossible for Great Qin to be torn apart in an instant, although the officials and nobles of the six countries have been relatively honest and docile in recent years, but as long as the seeds of hatred and the determination to restore the country are still there, a little wind and grass will jump out.

And the most important thing is that Chen Xu has little influence on the military, Meng Tian can't be mastered, Wang Ben and Wang Li are even more uncontrollable, even if they are above the court, Feng Quji and Meng Yi are not completely wearing the same pants as him, when it comes to matters of principle and things that may make a family take risks, the actions of the two are surprisingly consistent, that is, they are absolutely not involved.

The court is a whirlpool of officials fighting for power and profit, all officials must be careful in their words and deeds, in order to deal with Zhao Gao, Meng Yi and Chen Xu stood together, and later in order to deal with Li Si, Chen Xu won over Feng Quji, but now Zhao Gao has fallen, Li Si has also become ancient, and the basis for cooperation in the past no longer exists, so the court has once again formed a stable iron triangle, and they are in a rather delicate state with each other.

In terms of national affairs, Feng Quji and Meng Yi still support Chen Xu's reforms, and some don't support it, because Chen Xu can easily get the emperor, and now Chen Xu's status and rights in the court are even higher than when Li Si was in power, Feng Quji feels that he is about to become a little brother again, and he has to compromise with Chen Xu.

Fortunately, Chen Xu is different from Li Si, Chen Xu is not authoritarian, and he never reaches out indiscriminately to interfere in the government affairs of the government outside the Zhongshu Province, so he gets along well with Feng Quji and Meng Yi.

And the relationship between the three giants above the court and the emperor is also a very toothache for Chen Xu.

The three Shangqing and the emperor are all relatives, even including the former left minister Li Si, they are all relatives, of course, there are also Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son.

Li Si's son Li You, Meng Yi's son Meng Yun, and Feng Quji's eldest son Feng Jing all married the emperor's daughter, and Chen Xu of course also married a princess, so Chen Xu and Li You, Meng Yun, and Feng Jing are all brothers-in-law, and they can call their aunts when they meet.

And Chen Xu married Meng Yi's daughter, so that he and Meng Yun are still uncles and brothers-in-law.

Chen Xu also had a marriage contract with Wang Qingsleeve, and it was promised by the emperor himself, so he and Wang Ben were also in a son-in-law relationship.

There is a saying in later generations, called the casino has no father and son, and now in the court, these relatives who could have sat together to drink and talk have become a semi-hostile relationship, with only family interests and rights between each other, calculating each other, and not having the slightest kinship at all.

Therefore, in court politics, father and son can turn their faces, and in the competition for the throne, flesh and blood can kill each other.

Anyone who is stupid enough to think that they can rely on these relatives and blood ties to maintain a solid position will sooner or later overturn.

And among all of them, only the emperor was the only one who benefited.

He can rely on marriage to tie all the important ministers and the royal family together, and one will prosper and the other will lose.

At present, Zhao Gao is hiding in the palace, and Chen Xu's big net has also been spread, just waiting for Xu Fu's arrangement to seduce Zhao Gao out.

After Chen Yong left with a group of teenagers, Chen Xu grinned and thought about the chaotic kinship between himself and a group of important court officials, while repeatedly thinking in his heart about how he would remedy it if a group of teenagers failed to assassinate or were captured alive by the forbidden army.

Although it is not yet known when Zhao Gao will leave the palace, everything must be arranged step by step according to the worst plan.
