Chapter 886: Shadow

On the night of June 23 in the first year of the second year, in the city of Xianyang, I heard that the old prime minister fell into a car and was seriously ill.

It's a pity that none of the ten people who are qualified to enter, but these ten or so people are regretting that they have to enter the court at the moment, because they are all stunned by the shocking changes that just happened:

Just half a moment ago, Lang Zhongling, who was ordered by the second emperor to visit Zhao Gao, entered the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the thick door at the rear was slammed shut......

And what made everyone even more shocked was still behind, but they saw Li Si, who was said to have only one breath left, but he stroked his beard and walked out of the dormitory.

Behind Li Si is his son-in-law, the third son of Qin Shi Huang, the son of General Lu, and the Marquis of Tongwu, Changshi, who was deprived of his title due to the defeat at the front and became a concubine......

"Right Prime Minister!?" The officials felt inexplicable, and only felt that something had happened.

Li Si arched his hand to everyone: "Let the second and third sons worry, Li Si is fine." ”

"Li Si, are you going to rebel!" At this time, the confessor who accompanied Zhao Gao to the Li Mansion shouted.

"The one who wants to rebel is clearly this traitor!"

Li Si put his fingers together, pointed at Zhao Gao, who was still struggling desperately, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "Before the death of the first emperor in the past, he was in front of the bed, and he thought that Li Si's arm was deeply in the future, so he set up four ministers and auxiliary ministers, thinking that the world was safe. ”

"Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao, a traitor, deceived the superiors and concealed the subordinates, isolated China and foreign countries, plotted to kill Zhongliang, and framed Feng Jun, so that the Feng family and the son Gao were punished, and the Marquis of Tongwu has discovered your ambition as a wolf, so please ask Your Majesty to punish him."

"It's a pity that the old general passed away suddenly. Zhao Gao escaped by luck, but he still did not repent, ruined the national code, the inside was arrogant, the outside was autocratic, the important positions of the officials were all placed in their relatives, the palace was guarded, it was easy to be private, separated brothers, hurt flesh and blood, made the world turbulent, everyone was afraid, the reputation of the court was discredited, and the traitors in the world were half-......"

Li Si looked at Gan Tang, who was desperate after being cut to a commoner, and could only ask himself for help: "Gan Changshi, please tell everyone about the last words of the Marquis of Tongwu!" “

Gan Tang glanced at Li Si, originally just wanted to get rid of Zhao Gao by Li Si's hand, but when things developed to this point, it was beyond his control, so he had to say:

"What the Marquis of Tongwu never forgot before his death was the wicked man who chased the king's side! He said that the traitors in the court must be eliminated, if Your Majesty is soft-hearted and does not punish Zhao Gao, we will definitely try to get the king away from Chen Qi's interests, at least persuade Your Majesty, send Zhao Gao to guard the tomb of the first emperor, and wait for him to go on the road, and then kill him by the guards and guests! ”

"It's a pity that I just entered Xianyang, so I was dismissed from my official position, and General Wang Li also urged His Majesty to go south to defend against the enemy, and failed to eliminate the traitors, and Zhao Gao is still trusted by His Majesty as usual......"

Gan Tang was really disappointed in Hu Hai, he was bent on getting rid of Zhao Gao, and he couldn't care so much about fulfilling Wang Ben's long-cherished wish, so he broke the jar and began to borrow the power of Li Si.

Li Si shook his head: "Today, Li Si is willing to follow the will of the Marquis of Tongwu with his second and third sons, and punish this evil minister!" Go to Wangyi Palace again and welcome back Your Majesty! ”

Even if Heifu has already reached the pass, Xianyang still continues the strong inertia of decades and continues to follow the emperor's orders, without Hu Hai's edict, whether it is Li Si or Zhao Gao, it is a little difficult to do something. In the same way, as long as Hu Hai is controlled, the Son of Heaven is held hostage, and Xianyang surrenders to Heifu, is it not a matter of blinking?

The ministers had already endured Zhao Gao for a long time, and they applauded when they heard the words, but among the people who came to visit Li Si, there were also cowards, and they came out and said: "Prime Minister, we have not been controlled by His Majesty, Lang Wei is afraid that he will not listen, there must be a fight in Xianyang, and the enemy is on the side, so he is not afraid of changes and make Heifu take advantage of the situation?" ”

That's what Lees wants!

But this matter cannot be made public, otherwise it is difficult to predict that the officials of Xianyang will turn their backs, so Prime Minister Li Cheng said solemnly: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside!" ”

"There is nothing that can motivate the three armies to fight more than Zhao Gao's head, as well as His Majesty's guilt and pro-conquest!"

"What's more, Zhao Gao also acted against Tian Chang and Zihan and robbed His Majesty's prestige, if he didn't try, I am afraid it would change."

Li Si walked up to Zhao Gao, who had not said a word from the beginning to the present, and said: "Zhao Gao, do you think that you secretly communicate with the thieves of the Six Kingdoms and want to sell Hedong and Guanzhong, don't you know?" ”

It was only at this time that Zhao Gao, who was speechless, showed a trace of surprise on his face.

Li Si smiled with satisfaction: "I couldn't be sure before, but now, it's conclusive." ”

Fang Cai's sentence was used by Li Si to deceive Zhao Gao, and it was really bluffed, just like Zhao Gao actually did not master Li Sitong's real hammer, and Li Si has not yet collected evidence of Zhao Gaotong's six countries, and the two sides are playing a blindfolded game to speculate on each other's intentions.

After asking all the questions that should be asked, Li Si waved his hand:

"Immediately escort Zhao Gao, go to recruit Lang Wei, and then send people to control the doors and palaces!"

However, Li Si's servant family opened the door and wanted to rush out to do something big, but he didn't think about it, but he was shot back by a fierce crossbow arrow, and the injured man screamed in pain.

Li Si was shocked, and sent someone to stand on the roof to take a look, but found that there were more Lang guards, lit torches, and were rushing towards the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Everyone was shocked, and Li Si was also stunned, he didn't expect that when Zhao Gao was arrested, there would be people on the other side who would resist.

"Hahaha."

At this time, Zhao Gao laughed, excited and frightened, and his voice was a little out of shape.

"Li Si, Li Si, although you are smart, you came up with such a plan to deceive me from the investment network, but unfortunately, I still expected one thing wrong, you should keep your eyes open and take a good look, who am I!?"

Li Si asked Li Yu to pull up "Zhao Gao's" hair, forced him to raise his face, approached with a lantern, and squinted to check.

But I saw that the face was similar to Zhao Gao, and there was no problem at first glance, especially at night, it was almost real, but if you are familiar with Zhao Gao, you can find something different if you look carefully for the first half of the moment.

The bridge of the nose is slightly higher, and the eyes are slightly smaller, these subtle differences are enough to make up two different faces.

And pinching his seemingly disabled hand and pulling it, I found that it was actually healthy......

This person is not Zhao Gao.

"Who are you?" Li Si only felt that he was afraid that he had been fooled.

The middle-aged man who described his figure as similar to Zhao Gao was not afraid, but a little relieved, and he laughed and said:

"I am Zhao Gao's third brother."

"I'm my brother's stand-in."

"His shadow!"

……

A few miles away, he looked up at the moonlight, the appointed time had passed, but no one came out in the middle of the sound, Zhao Gao was already sure that there was indeed something strange in Li Si's mansion, and he couldn't help muttering:

"Third brother, you are really a good stand-in, a good shadow, and you will take good care of your children for your brother."

The nobles of the Central Plains have been raising stand-ins to deal with emergencies for a long time.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Qinggong had an ugly father on the right side of the car, this person's face was similar to Qinggong, and his clothes were similar to Qinggong, if he was not standing on the right side of the car, holding a spear, and Qinggong was holding a bow and arrow on the left, it was almost difficult to identify clearly.

Therefore, in the battle of Qi and Jin'an, when the Qi army was defeated, Feng Chou's father exchanged positions with Qi Qinggong. After the two were captured by the Jin people, they were not embarrassed because of the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn aristocratic war.

So Feng Ugly Father deliberately took out the posture of being a monarch, and let the real Qi Qinggong go to fetch water, Qi Qinggong was stupid to take water back for the first time, Feng Ugly Father pretended that the water was not clean, and let Qi Qinggong go again, so Qi Qinggong escaped, and he was killed by the Jin people to vent their anger.

No matter what the ending of Feng Ugly's father is, it is obvious that he acted as Qi Qinggong's "shadow warrior".

Zhao Gao knew that Qin Shi Huang also had a stand-in, and sometimes he would hide in the deputy car, but those people were all martyred in Lishan by Hu Hai.

As the order of the CRRC government, Zhao Gao saw this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

What others don't know is that Zhao Gao also has a shadow stand-in, which is the third brother of his mother's compatriots. Their family grew up in Yinguan, and the second brother Zhao Cheng was brave and became the lieutenant of Hedong County. The third brother is not very successful, he is not good at civil and military affairs, but his appearance and figure are quite similar to Zhao Gao.

In the past year, Zhao Gao has been willing to train him, and sometimes even let the third brother wear his own clothes and attend some unimportant occasions.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and today's shadow has finally come in handy.

It's a pity that my third brother is gone.

Zhao Gao looked at Yan Le: "You are here to command Lang Wei, surround the Li Si Mansion, and no one can get away!" ”

"I'm going to Wangyi Palace to report to Your Majesty, Li Siguo has betrayed, and recently not only secretly sent his family out of the city, but also detained His Majesty's envoys, colluded with Gongzi Jiang Lu and others, and collaborated with the black thieves and rebels. Please don't hesitate any longer, Your Majesty, and quickly launch the materials of dogs, horses, birds and beasts to attack it! ”

"No!"

Yan Le received the order, and now the guards and lieutenants are either defending the rebels outside, or restraining the prisoners in Lishan, Xianyang is empty, and only the Lang Zhongling army controlled by Zhao Gao is left, and the 5,000 soldiers who Hu Hai recruited to guard the palace last year.

In the night, Zhao Gao rode in the car, rushed towards Wangyi Palace, turned his head again, looked at the prime minister's mansion where the fire was soaring into the sky, and the battle had taken place, as well as Xianyang City on the eve of the chaos, and said through gritted teeth:

"Li Si, the same line is good!"

"This time it's either you or I'm dead!"

"This Great Qin's mountains and rivers can only be sold by me!"
