Chapter 0046 The Prime Minister's Mansion Conspiracy
Yun Xiaoshui thought of his later son, Fusu, and when he received Zhao Gao's false decree to kill him, he was convinced that his father let him die, and he committed suicide without resisting or defending himself. It can be said that loyalty is foolish loyalty, and filial piety is foolish filial piety.
If it weren't for his suicide, but if he could join forces with Meng Tian and Meng Yi to resist Zhao Gao and his ilk, it would definitely not have been the betrayal of Prime Minister Li Si and the succession of Hu Hai, wanton massacre, and brutal governance, resulting in the collapse of Great Qin soon.
Of course, Yun Xiaoshui couldn't say these to Zhang Liang, and only said that he didn't want to climb people like Gongzi Fusu.
The problem here has been solved, Yun Xiaoshui rushed back, he didn't want to return to the capital as soon as possible, but wanted to go back to his hometown as soon as possible to see his little daughter. Maybe it's father-daughter nature? Yun Xiaoshui himself is still a little child, and he actually likes to play with his two little daughters in his heart, which is really strange! Even he couldn't figure out why!
When Yun Xiaoshui returned to his hometown Yunfu to enjoy the joy of family, a few people gathered in Li Si's Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Gao, the wizard Mao Laodao and Taishi Ling Wang Ling, what were they doing? Discuss how to suppress the prodigy craftsman Yun Xiaoshui, who has risen strongly.
It is generally believed that Yun Xiaoshui is a small craftsman, but he was reused by the first emperor, and he was rewarded with a few more money, and he kept sending him to engage in construction, even if he was made a marquis, but he had no power, and he couldn't even move a soldier, what is there to pay attention to? A person who can't pose a threat, what is he doing to suppress him?
However, these people are not ordinary people, they don't think so! What they analyzed was that Yun Xiaoshui had taken away the favor that the First Emperor had given them. The one who robbed them of their cheese is their enemy, and damn it! Although Yun Xiaoshui has no official and no power, he is with people with official power and noble status, including Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and Gongzi Fusu, which in itself is a terrible threat.
Actually, they are really worried, Yun Xiaoshui and Gongzi Fusu really haven't met yet. It was Yun Xiaoshui and Meng Tian who had only become colleagues in a working relationship, and they had not yet become friends, but they were only friends with the military advisor Zhang Liang.
"Your Excellency! I have found Yun Xiaoshui's inscription in the folk and studied the writing penmanship, and it is indeed not the same as that of modern calligraphers! It can be seen that this person is weird! Could it be that the Book of Heaven was written by him? Wang Ling said to Li Si.
"What was the reason for the hiding?" Zhao Gao asked. At this time, Zhao Gao actually didn't have much power, and he couldn't compare with the three people in front of him, but he was very deep in the city, close to the first emperor, and the teacher of Gongzi Hu Hai, so he had some status, so he could make friends with such a heavy minister as Prime Minister Li Si.
Mao Laodao said: "There must be a mechanism in the brocade box!" ”
"But...... We didn't find anything when we looked at it! ”
"Since it's a coincidence, naturally it can't be easily discovered!"
"Needless to say now! You all think about it, the Book of Heaven was burned, but Yun Xiaoshui said that it was a demon book, and he really took out the Book of Heaven for His Majesty to read, what is going on? Could it really be that Ji Chonghuan got the demon book? Li Si looked around at everyone and said in a non-hurried tone.
"Our family wonders about this! How can there be two heavenly books? ”
"Is what Ji Chonghuan said true? Is it the Book of Heaven that you sent someone to steal from the Craftsman's Mansion? Your Excellency the Middle East Governor! Wizard Mao Lao Dao asked Zhao Gao quite unkindly.
"What really? That's Ji Chonghuan is framing, trying to pull our family back! The matter of the book of heaven has nothing to do with our family! ”
"Hehehe...... Are you sure? Sorcer, how are you doing with your research on Yun Xiaoshui's gunpowder ingredients? Can we be sure that the explosion of the book was caused by gunpowder? Li Si asked with a smile.
"Yun Xiaoshui prepares gunpowder very strictly, and no one knows the formula, including the army, which only uses finished products. Therefore, Poor Dao only speculated that there was sulfur and charcoal in the gunpowder, and the others did not know.
There are at least two more things.
When the book of heaven caught fire, it was clearly a phosphorus fire from the burning of phosphorus powder, but no phosphorus was found in the gunpowder. Poor Dao has been tested a thousand times, but he has not been able to make gunpowder. ”
Wizard Mao Lao Dao said helplessly.
"That is to say, I don't know if there is gunpowder in the burning heavenly book, and I don't know if there is phosphorus in the gunpowder composition!" Lees said.
Mao Laodao nodded solemnly and said yes. The limited amount of gunpowder was prepared by Yun Xiaoshui in the secret room, and it was dispersed to various construction sites and various armies as finished products and used directly, so what Yun Xiaoshui taught to some so-called use technicians was only the knowledge of how to use, and the formula was not passed on to anyone.
Someone also proposed to Qin Shi Huang to let Yun Xiaoshui make the method of preparing gunpowder public, but Qin Shi Huang did not agree to make it public. Why let the enemy or the bad guy learn too?
"Then how do we deal with Yun Xiaoshui? There's a lot of stuff in his little head! How can we suppress him? Taishi Ling Wang Ling said.
"Just kill him!" Zhao Gao said viciously.
"Isn't that easier said than done? Even if you don't believe that he is an immortal who can't be killed, he is surrounded by expert guards! I heard that he himself is also very strong, and the arrows and crossbows can pierce Yang in a hundred steps! Lees said.
Zhao Gao looked at him and said, "Prime Minister, where did you hear this?" Isn't he just a little kid? ”
"Wimpy kid? Hehe! His energy is not small! My only grandson only met him twice, and he was so deluded that he resolutely abandoned his official position and went into business! I'm so angry with the old man! ”
"That'...... So, Prime Minister! We might as well still look for attack points and breakthroughs from Yun Xiaoshui's fiefdom! ”
"Okay! Reinforcements! Also, Daoist Commander and Lord Wang, you might as well boast more in front of Your Majesty, and then ask Your Majesty to send him to build some buildings that are not in this world. Isn't he a child prodigy? Let him go and build a South Heavenly Gate! ”
Zhao Gao clapped his hands and shouted, "High! Tricks! Your Majesty is worried about building a few bridges in the Afang Palace! ”
Here put down Zhao Gao and Li Si's conspiracy, and then look back at Yun Xiaoshui, who was busy holding the child. As soon as I put down one and wanted to hug the other, a report came from outside that someone from the capital had delivered a letter, and it didn't seem to be from the craftsman's mansion, because the messenger was a black-clothed armor soldier.
"The letter of the First Emperor? Why don't you preach the holy decree? Yun Xiaoshui muttered in his heart and slowly walked out the door.
When I opened the letter, I saw that it was Li Si's letter, which first said that the illegal things in Yun Xiaoshui's fiefdom were purely misunderstood, and the relevant officials who had misjudged and misreported had been dismissed or demoted. The county officials around Yun Xiaoshui's fiefdom were indeed dismissed and transferred.
Yun Xiaoshui knew this, but as for why, Yun Xiaoshui didn't ask, as long as he didn't move the people in his fiefdom, he didn't bother to ask!
Next, the letter said that His Majesty had encountered problems in the construction of Afang Palace, and he had the intention of urgently recruiting Yun Xiaoshui into Beijing.
"Which one is this singing? Take off your pants and fart – that's more! O old fox! ”
It was when Yun Xiaoshui pondered the intention of Li Si's letter that he reported that his investigation of the hostile spy was clear. The spies were all sent by Li Si by planting them in the surrounding counties of Yun Xiaoshui Fengyi.
Then, these spy officials bribed and co-opted the weak-willed people in Yun Xiaoshui's fiefdom, cooperated with the outside world, created rumors, bewitched the people, distorted the facts, expanded their shortcomings, and sorted out a set of so-called materials that violated the Qin Law that were unfavorable to Yun Xiaoshui.
"Oh - I see! Those so-called officials who were punished and demoted were actually transferred to other places, far away from my fiefdom. This time I made a gesture of goodwill to Chuanxin, but I was actually proud of the next harm to me. Ha ha! Come on! I don't believe anything can stump me! ”
As soon as he entered the capital, Yun Xiaoshui felt a solemn atmosphere.
