Hu Hai had been living in the shadow of Yinggao for many years, and he naturally knew what kind of words he couldn't say in Xianyang City, and he didn't understand why his wife suddenly mentioned this.

But Hu Hai's anger did not make Qi Yi change her attitude, but after entering the house, she looked at Hu Hai with blazing eyes, and said word by word: "You haven't thought about it once, if you become the emperor of Great Qin, what will it be like?" Then Zhao Gao is the teacher assigned to you by the First Emperor, why are you wrong? Why did Zhao Gao collapse after the current emperor found out his identity? Isn't this the ruthless plan of the emperor now, taking away the position of emperor that originally belonged to you? ”

These sentences are like a cannon, and every word is a sharp sword, which deeply pierces the softest, but darkest, place in Hu Hai's heart.

After hearing these words, Hu Hai stood in place in a daze, as if he was frozen, only his eyes were still trembling slightly, which was enough to see how much Qi Yi's words had hurt him.

And after saying this, Qi Yi also stared at Hu Hai in front of her, panting heavily, she chose to say such things at this time, which is undoubtedly a very risky behavior.

Although everyone in Xianyang City knew that Yinggao didn't know where to go out on patrol now, once Hu Hai didn't have the slightest thought like that in his heart, if he was very loyal to Yinggao, Qi Yi knew that his words were likely to bring him death.

She waited quietly, waiting for Hu Hai's next reaction, the air seemed to be frozen at this moment, she didn't dare to stimulate Hu Hai more, because she was also afraid of something uncontrollable, she was also afraid of death, the two words just said, she didn't know how many times she had silently rehearsed in her heart.

What Qi Yi didn't know was that when she stared at Hu Hai and said these words, Hu Hai felt that her heart, which had been covered by layers of barriers over the years, seemed to have suddenly seen the light of day because of these words.

Over the years, he has only locked himself in a cage in Xianyang Palace, his brothers and sisters have alienated him, and even some of the attendants in Xianyang Palace don't have to look at him directly, what is the reason for this, Hu Hai's heart is really clear.

But at the beginning, in Hu Hai's heart, he was unconvinced, he was just a carefree son who was favored by the first emperor, and as the youngest son of the first emperor, he was blessed.

And the first emperor also found that the young Hu Hai was very similar to himself when he was a teenager, and the first emperor even said in his ear when Hu Hai was young that if everything went well, he would be the second lord of Great Qin, in this way, although the first emperor did not think that Hu Hai could remember it when he said it, but Hu Hai really remembered it, and remembered it to the present.

That situation is enough to show how bright Hu Hai's prospects are, and at that time, Fusu was still the eldest son who repeatedly made the First Emperor angry and disappointed in the court, and Yinggao, who was a few years older than Hu Hai, was still bullied by other sons from time to time in the Xianyang Palace, and he had to rely on his sister Yang Zi to come forward to fight the uneven son, and the First Emperor would not even look at him once.

It was under such circumstances that the First Emperor introduced his most trusted Zhao Gao, who had followed him for more than ten years, to Hu Hai as his Qin Law and calligraphy teacher, and the First Emperor's cronies at that time knew that Hu Hai began to learn Qin Law at a young age, didn't it mean that he had a great possibility of becoming the second lord of Great Qin?

Fusu didn't know these details, and Yinggao couldn't have known, but Hu Hai, who was young, knew that from that time on, he had a kind of pride in his heart, a pride that he would be the next Emperor of Great Qin.

And after Zhao Gao became his teacher, he did give him some Qin law and calligraphy at first, but it wasn't until Zhao Gao was executed by Yinggao that Hu Hai reacted, and at first, Zhao Gao was afraid that it was just to find out his habits and temperament.

Hu Hai clearly remembered that after teaching for a period of time, Zhao Gao simply opened a new door for himself, singing and dancing, miscellaneous books, women, all kinds of rare things outside the palace, almost all novel things, Zhao Gao could bring to Hu Hai when he entered Xianyang Palace.

This made Hu Hai's mind almost all focus on those novelties, and he learned less and less about the boring Qin law and calligraphy, and at the same time, Hu Hai's dependence on Zhao Gao was getting higher and higher.

Even later, Hu Hai even felt that he should be closer to his teacher Zhao Gao, because after the death of the First Emperor, he became the emperor of Great Qin, and the person he could rely on was almost Zhao Gao......

Zhao Gao is a spy of Zhao State, a spy who has been lurking by the side of the First Emperor for more than 20 years, and he destroyed Hu Hai, the first emperor's favorite son, Hu Hai, who has always been quite clear in his heart.

But he also has something unclear, that is, why the First Emperor did not know anyone, and let the spies of Zhao State lurk by his side for more than 20 years, but in the end it was himself who suffered the most.

Let Zhao Gao be his teacher, that was the idea of the first emperor, he had no right to choose, but in the end he became the object of everyone's scolding, Hu Hai didn't know what he did wrong, until the first emperor died, until Yinggao became the emperor, until Yinggao had some tolerance for him, he still didn't understand this problem.

He had already given up, he knew that his life might be like this, the muddy past, just fine, as for the emperor dream that he often had when he was a teenager, it was not bad to let him keep it in his dream.

But Qi Yi's words made his long-sealed dream appear in his mind.

Hu Hai thought for a long time, and did not continue to blame Qi Yi, he finally shook his head, smiled helplessly, and then looked at Qi Yi again and said: "The position of the emperor and I have already passed by, even if it exists, it can only exist in my dreams, since Madam already knows my current situation, don't mention this matter again, it will only increase sadness." ”

But Hu Hai's helpless words were exchanged for a smile on Qi Yi's face, although Hu Hai did not show agreement with what she said, but at least she knew that Hu Hai had definitely thought about the position of emperor, in her opinion, as long as she thought about it, she would have the opportunity to achieve her goals through him.

"You are the most favored son of the dignified First Emperor, how can you accept your fate at such a young age? If I said you still have a chance to get everything back that belongs to you, will you take the risk? ”

Step by step, Qi Yi hooked out the deep desires that had been hidden in Hu Hai's heart, and what he couldn't get was always in turmoil, and Hu Hai was once so close to that position, as if he had reached out and could touch it. Therefore, at a certain moment, he was a little tempted by Qi Yi's words.

Hu Hai is not stupid, but what he knows is that Qi Yi is his wife, the wife whom Yinggao gave him to marry, and her fate, since the day Yinggao gave her to him, has been tightly tied to herself, she will not pit herself, let alone pit herself.

Thinking of this, Hu Hai's eyes suddenly brightened, as if someone had turned on a light for him, and when he looked at Qi Yi again, he already had a different look.

"How do you take the risk?"

……

What happened in Xianyang City, Yinggao naturally didn't know, on this day, he could be said to have spent the most enjoyable day after coming to Daqin.

In the previous life, Ingengo had heard that there was a form of tourism called a cruise tour, where you could see the vastness of the sea on a huge cruise ship, and now, Ingengo probably knows what it feels like to go to sea on a cruise ship in later generations.

When Yinggao stood on the deck of this fifteen-zhang long warship and looked down, he had the feeling that the entire Great Qin was firmly in his hands.

Although the Zhu family, Wang Li and others were worried in the back, for fear that something would happen when Yinggao looked down, they didn't dare to disturb Yinggao's Yaxing, and could only hope that the time of the day would pass quickly.

In the end, when Yinggao sailed a long circle on the river, and finally stepped off the warship in the dead of night, Wang Li's entire clothes were soaked with his own sweat, which showed how much pressure he was under for this voyage.

In fact, Yinggao had to take this warship to sail around the river, not because he had to take a look at the scenery on the river.

He had to personally test the performance of this warship, after all, he knew how far these warships would sail in the end, and once he found a problem during the voyage, he could still inform Wang Li and Chen Ying in time, otherwise, it would be too late to find out any fatal problems when dozens of warships were built.

After experiencing the performance of this warship, this trip to Jiujiang, Yinggao's business that should be completed has finally been completed, and he has already planned it for the next few days.

Although Jiujiang and the nearby county Yinggao had already been here before, Feng Qing and Tian Yan had never come, so Yinggao decided to use two days to take the two of them to enjoy the scenery here.

Of course, Ying Gao knew that the entire Great Qin was his, but he also knew that if he didn't even know what his own Great Qin was, how sad it would be for his emperor to do, so he didn't have any guilt in his heart during the past few days of playing.

Three days later, Shouchun, when Yinggao left, he didn't let Wang Li tell him about his departure, but he took his own guards and left quietly, he knew that although he didn't stay in Jiujiang County for a long time, his back and forth still took nearly two months in total.

Although Yinggao knows that Daqin's court is now quite stable, it is not a good thing for the emperor not to go to the court for a long time, because the information transmission in this era is not convenient, no matter what happened to Yinggao or what happened in Xianyang Palace, it is difficult for the other party to know at the first time, so Yinggao does not want to delay time.

Originally, according to Yinggao's assumption, even if he left for three or five months, with Xiao He sitting in Xianyang City, coupled with his own multi-faceted arrangements, nothing would definitely happen.

But this time Yinggao really miscalculated, when he returned to Xianyang City, when many courtiers greeted him, Yinggao found that Meng Yi and Xiao He, who were standing in front, were not so good-looking, and at first glance, they wanted to report to themselves.

Sure enough, after Yinggao returned to Xianyang Palace, he had just changed his clothes, and before he could take a bath, Xiao He had already arrived in the main hall here, and directly informed Yinggao's guards that he had something important to report.

Yinggao knew that Xiao He was not a person who did not distinguish between the important and the serious, and he must have known how tired it was to return from the patrol many times before he had gone on patrol, but he still didn't even spend a night before he arrived at Yinggao's side for the first time, obviously there was really something important to tell Yinggao.

After a while, Yinggao appeared in the main hall, and saw Xiao He pacing anxiously, obviously a little anxious.

"Zuo Xiang, why is this, isn't it that something happened in Xianyang City during the time I left?"

Ying Gao asked Xiao He in a deep voice while letting Xiao He sit in front of him.

"Don't hide it from your lord, about half a month after you left Xianyang City, somehow there was a rumor in Xianyang City, which was very unfavorable for you......"

Obviously, Xiao He didn't know how to describe this matter to Yinggao, so when he said this, he lowered his head and pondered again.

"Since it is a rumor, Zuo Xiang should find the source of the rumor, once the culprit is caught, the rumor will naturally be broken." Seeing that Xiao He didn't know what to do there, Yinggao was a little anxious, and said in his heart, you should hurry up, I still want to go to sleep.

"These rumors have not yet spread widely, but the captain and I can't deal with them, because the scope of their spread is really special, and it is ......."

At this moment, Xiao He poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told Yinggao about the rumors that Yinggao had kept them in captivity in Xianyang City between more than a dozen of Yinggao's brothers.

At this moment, Yinggao finally knew the reason for Xiao He's helpless look, but at the same time, he also showed a solemn look.
