Chapter 23: Emergencies
On the evening of the fourth day, a dusty Ying Gao appeared outside his mansion, Feng Qing saw Ying Gao, a pair of wonderful eyes began to shine a little, the posture was like a wolf who had seen meat, obviously, she was not having a good time these days without Ying Gao.
So, this night to win Gao Fuzhong is simply a thunder hooked by the earth, a long drought coincided with Ganlin, in short, it was tossed in the middle of the night, and Win Gao had a chance to sleep.
Although the purpose of winning high this time is indeed to enjoy himself, the First Emperor is also a sharp-eyed person, if he enjoys himself in the mansion every day, it will be a bit too much.
So after freshening up and dressing up the next day, Yinggao went to Xianyang Palace, since the first emperor gave him the right to report directly about the construction of the new palace, with Yinggao's character, of course, he would not wait for it to expire. What's more, I only improved the saw a little, so that the early construction achieved twice the result with half the effort, and it was not a win if I didn't invite the merit.
The first emperor, who was dealing with government affairs in the palace, saw that Ying Gao Chunfeng was proud, and he had already thought that the matter of supervising the construction of the new palace was going very smoothly, so he put down the bamboo slips in his hand and inquired about the construction of the new palace.
Ying Gao naturally reported to the First Emperor what he had already prepared, and invited the First Emperor to personally inspect the south of Weishui to see his achievements. Of course, the first emperor would never go when the foundation of the new palace was not finished, but he just praised it on the spot and gave up.
But the sharp-eyed Ying Gao found that after these few days of not seeing, the first emperor picked up the bamboo slip's hand was a little trembling, a bamboo slip is obviously not heavy enough to make him have such a problem, after discovering this detail, Ying Gao's heart has a little shadow, such a performance can only show that the first emperor's body has begun to ring the alarm bell, he is no longer the powerful emperor of the ages when he was young, the killer of the years, has to start to start.
After discovering this, Ying Gao quietly observed it secretly, and found that on the table where the first emperor placed the bamboo slips, there was an open bottle, and judging by the size, it must be full of a bottle of elixir.
"Alas, it seems that it is still the fault of this elixir, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not last for more than a year......" Ying Gao sighed in his heart and moved his lips, but in the end he still didn't say anything, how could he not know that the first emperor's superstition about the pill had almost reached the level of madness, of course he knew that he would die eventually, otherwise he would not have secretly built the imperial mausoleum, but at the same time, he hoped that these pills could extend his life, but he didn't know that the result of this could only be urging.
Ying Gao knew that there was not much time left for him by Daqin, and the death of the First Emperor would be like the death knell of Daqin, waking up a group of anti-Qin people who did not dare to act rashly under his authority, and if he did not have enough ability at that time, then not only Daqin would still not be protected, but he would also be drowned in the rolling dust of history like the original Gongzi Gao.
Since taking the pot that Zhao Gao threw to him, the good news is that he bumped into such a figure as the Zhu family, who is both civil and military, and he doesn't have to do everything himself in the future, the bad news is that he doesn't know what kind of play Zhao Gao is, and he hasn't found any of his handles.
Just as Ying Gao was thinking wildly, he saw a strangely dressed man with a black veil on his face slowly walking out of the back of the main hall from nowhere, and whispered a few words in the ear of the First Emperor.
"You go home first, on the day the new palace is completed, I will reward you greatly!"
Obviously, because of this man's words, the First Emperor issued an expulsion order to his son. Hearing this, Ying Gao didn't say a word, and immediately said goodbye, but the moment he turned around, Ying Gao saw through the corner of his eye that the First Emperor was serving that man, pouring the object in the bottle into his hand, and then swallowing it directly.
"If you can find out what the details of these inexhaustible Fang Shi are, and why they are favored, can you continue the life of my cheap father?"
With this immature idea, Ying Gao walked towards Feng Zheng's mansion in contemplation, he had to take action, and these days he is not there, the best eyes and ears in the court are of course his father-in-law.
What disappointed Ying Gao was that from Feng Zai's mouth, he couldn't even find out a little bit about the First Emperor's taking pills, the First Emperor has always been secretive about the Fang Shi around him and the pills he took, and no one dared to ask the courtiers, according to Feng Zai's words, it was Zhao Gao, Li Si and Meng Yi, who were the most respected by the First Emperor, and most of them didn't necessarily know the details of the people around the First Emperor.
But through this conversation with Feng Zai, Ying Gao inadvertently confirmed one thing, that is, after Zhao Gao was originally a nobleman of Zhao State, he became a eunuch in his early years and went to the Great Qin Palace, and he was able to get to this day step by step, which also made Feng Zao embarrassed.
"Zhao Gao is not an old Qin person who is in the same vein as the Ying family, but a Zhao person, will he ......?"
After learning about this, an idea couldn't help but rise in Ying Gao's heart, which made him impatient to confirm one thing.
However, before Ying Gao could return to the mansion and plan how to confirm what he wanted to confirm, a sudden trouble had already rushed towards him......
In the early morning of the third day of returning to Xianyang City, a small official who participated in the construction of the new palace in the south of Weishui came to Yinggao's mansion out of breath.
"Childe's big thing is not good, those who are building the new palace have just started construction this morning, and one by one they began to vomit and diarrhea, and nearly half of the work has been poured in just a short time, and it is still increasing, the project is afraid that it has been delayed a lot today, and I ask Childe to go back and preside over the overall situation!"
When Ying Gao heard this, he almost carried it in one breath, and he never expected this incident, and where was this asking him to go back to preside over the overall situation, obviously asking him to go back to take the blame, but shouldering the responsibility of supervising the construction of the new palace, this is indeed a matter of winning high scores, so Ying Gao had no choice but to let the little official go back first with a black face.
Because he was afraid that this little official was wearing a pair of pants with others, Ying Gao didn't dare to ask him anything, so he could only hurry to Feng Zai's mansion, and Feng Zao introduced a reliable doctor and hurried to the new palace.
