The weather outside is stuffy and the heat wave is pressing, but it is cool and pleasant in the study of Gongnan!
Next to the south book is a mezzanine building, the walls are double-layered, hollow in the middle, heating in winter and ice cubes in summer, so that the room has been maintained at a more suitable temperature. This kind of housing technology was first created in Zhao State, and was later introduced in Qin, and was lost for a while after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed!
There is a beast tripod in the middle of the south book, and a large pile of ice cubes is placed in the tripod, which is continuing to cool the room. Because it was already night, the bright candles emitted by more than ten large lamps in the room reflected on the ice cubes and emitted colorful crystal colors, which added a touch of brilliant color to the interior.
Qin Wangzheng was immersed in reading the notes behind the bookcase, and his forehead was a little unfolded for a while!
In the past year, the spring floods in the Xinding area of the Central Plains have stopped, and now as soon as the summer comes, the headquarters of the Qin State has begun to rain so much that the river waterfalls have risen, and the crops in many places have been drowned.
At this time, there was a turmoil in the court, and the civil and military disputes continued, which really made it quite difficult for Qin Wangzheng.
Suddenly, Qin Wangzheng dropped the jade pen, stood up, and paced to the window! The starlight outside the window is brilliant!
"There's a lot to worry about!" Qin Wangzheng said to himself: "It would be great if I could be as carefree as the stars in the sky!" β
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded behind King Qin Zheng: "Great King, it's getting late, it's time to rest!" Zhao Gao said to King Qin with a sincere face.
"Zhao Gao, when is it?" Qin Wangzheng continued to look at the starry sky outside the window and asked casually.
"The time has passed, and it is time for the king to rest!" Zhao Gao said earnestly: "Even if the king doesn't think about himself, he must take care of the dragon body for all the people in the world!" β
"Why don't the widows want to rest early, but there are too many troubles, the floods in the counties have not yet ended, and the matter of the establishment of the reserve has made a mess of the court, and the widows can't sleep even if they go to bed!" Qin Wangzheng said with a wry smile.
"The king has worked hard, but there are too few people in the court who can share the king's worries, otherwise the king will be easier!" Zhao Gao looked loyal.
Suddenly, Qin Wangzheng asked Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao, how do you say that the matter of establishing a prince should be dealt with?" β
Zhao Gao was secretly happy when he heard this, he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but his face was groveling, and he said with a look of sincere fear: "King, the slave is just a eunuch, how dare he interfere in national affairs?" I don't dare to speak! β
King Qin Zhengxing's head came up, and he said unhappily: "If the widow wants you to say it, you will say it, and if you don't say it, you will be punished!" β
Zhao Gao pretended to be very embarrassed, and after a pause, he said in fear: "Then the slave will be bold." The minions thought that when the king was so worried, it was not appropriate for Wang Xuan, Feng Zheng and others to propose the establishment of the prince, and they really wouldn't share their worries for the king! β
Qin Wangzheng nodded, with great joy in his heart, and motioned for Zhao Gao to continue. Zhao Gao continued: "Now that the king intends to be in the world, and is in full swing to unify the six countries, it is really not appropriate to be too distracted by other things at this time!" What's more......" Zhao Gao looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Say, Zhao Gao, what's more?" Qin Wangzheng smiled and urged Zhao Gaodao.
"What's more, the matter of Lu Buwei and Chang Yu is not far away, and the king still has to take power personally. Especially the king is currently in full bloom, and there is no need to rush to establish a prince, maybe there may be a more suitable son in the future! Zhao Gao, who was well aware of the psychology of Qin Wangzheng, insidiously threw a bombshell.
When Qin Wangzheng heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought, and Zhao Gao bowed down and stood beside him, and he didn't dare to take a mouthful of his anger.
After a long time, Qin Wangzheng sighed and said: "Yes, Fusu Wang'er is indeed very capable of doing things, and he has won the hearts of the widows, but the widows don't want to have Lu Buwei and others happen, after all, Qin's elimination of LΓΌ Buwei and Chang Yu has hurt a lot of the country's vitality." Especially the prince of Fusu is now deeply popular with the military, if he is a little careless, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of my Qin country! β
Zhao Gao said secretly happy in his heart, but he responded respectfully: "King Shengming! β
Qin Wangzheng continued: "Actually, when it comes to establishing a prince, the widow has also thought about it. Wang Er Fusu has the style of a widow, heroic and courageous, and is indeed a suitable candidate for the prince, but the widow also likes the queen's sister-in-law Hu Hai very much, although Hu Hai is now few, but he is also smart and lovely, very talented, who is widowed in the end is also thinking before and after, it is difficult to decide! However, now that I heard you say this, the widow still made a decision: it is indeed not appropriate to set up a prince now, or wait for the six countries to be unified, and Hu Hai will also grow up at that time, and then make a comprehensive consideration according to the situation of the two and the national conditions! Zhao Gao, do you think what the widow thinks is feasible? β
At this time, Qin Wangzheng had already made a decision in his heart: "If the world is still full of smoke and turmoil after unification, Fusu is the best candidate for the next King of Qin; But if the world is settled in the future and the four seas are peaceful, the next King of Qin can let Hu Hai do it, and let Fusu assist! Such an arrangement is enough to ensure that my Great Qin is safe and sound in the future! β
It seems that Qin Wangzheng's mind is still quite sober at present!
Zhao Gao was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was respectful: "The king is wise, and the slave admires him so much!" β
Qin Wangzheng stretched his waist as if relieved, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Seeing this, Zhao Gao said earnestly: "King, it's getting late, let's rest early!" β
Qin Wangzheng nodded and said happily: "Okay, let's go, send the widow to the queen!" "The minions obey!"

Late at night, Fusu was sleeping soundly in the palace, and the gorgeous woman lying next to him was the delicate and lovely Wang Fang.
Suddenly, Fusu heard a faint call, opened his eyes and sat up, and said in a loud voice: "What's the matter?" β
I listened to the voice of the blessing outside the tent: "Your Excellency, there is a king outside who is urgently asking to see the king outside the palace, as if there is an urgent secret matter to tell!" "Oh! Fu, you quickly take it from the side door into the palace to the secret room, remember, pay attention to secrecy! "Yes, Your Majesty!" Fu hurried away.
At this moment, Wang Fang also opened his hazy sleepy eyes and woke up, gently pillowed his head on Fusu's lap, and asked lazily: "Brother Fusu, what's the matter?" Someone came in the middle of the night? β
Fusu stroked Wang Fang's hair and said in a low voice: "If you have something urgent, get up and help me change my clothes!" Wang Fang was stunned, and she quickly sat up and helped Su change clothes quickly.
Today is boundless duty, and when I saw Fusu out of the account, I would protect him. When Fusu came to the door of the secret room, Fu was already here, and when he saw Fusu arrive, Fu hurriedly greeted him: "Your Excellency, people are already indoors!" β
Fusu nodded and said, "Wuya, Fu, the two of you are here and no one is allowed to enter!" "Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Fusu pushed the door in, he saw Xi wearing a black robe, covering his head and face tightly, and he was sitting and lying restlessly indoors. Seeing Fu Su coming in, Xi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, and the slave has something urgent to tell you!" β
Fusu was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Happy, what's wrong?" β
Xi pulled down his hood and said hurriedly: "Today, the minister is on duty outside the door of the south study, and I heard a conversation between Zhao Gao and the lord, it's like this!" "Even if you tell the details of the matter discussed by Qin Wangzheng and Zhao Gao tonight to postpone the establishment of the crown prince.
Fusu's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Father has already made a decision?" β
"Yes, the king has decided not to set up a prince for the time being, and he will weigh it after the destruction of the six kingdoms!" Hello respectfully.
Fusu's eyebrows suddenly stood up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Gao, you bastard!" With a "click", the hard table was smashed by Fusu.
Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The king is angry, the slave is deeply benefited by the king on weekdays, and when he saw that things were not good, he hurriedly came to report to the king." It seems that Zhao Gao will definitely fight against you in the future, and you must be prepared! β
Fu Su eased his face, looked at Xi, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Xi, in the future, you will follow your father's side, and if there is anything abnormal, you will report it to me quickly." I won't treat you badly! As he spoke, Fusu raised his voice and said, "Someone! β
Boundless and blessed came in response: "Your Majesty! Fusu said: "Fu, you go and get a hundred gold for Benjun!" "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Fu hurried away, and soon returned, with a tray filled with ten pieces of golden gold, which glowed intoxicatingly in the light of the lamp.
Fusu said to Xi: "Xi, these small gifts should be regarded as this gentleman's gratitude to you, please be sure to accept them!" Seeing this, he swallowed his saliva and said with great joy: "Thank you for your reward!" β
Fu Su nodded and said, "After you go back, you must be careful in your actions, otherwise if you are detected by Zhao Gao, I am afraid that you will be killed!" Shocked when he heard this, he said respectfully: "The slave knows!" β
"Fu, you quickly send Xi to go through the side door, remember, don't keep it secret!" "Yes!" Fu led the joy and left quietly.
Fusu turned his face to Wuya and said, "Wuya, hurry up and invite Mr. Fang Qi to come!" "Yes, Your Majesty!"
After a while, Wuya led the sleepy-eyed Fang Qi into the secret room, and then retreated outside the door to guard each other.
Fang Qi knew that Fusu was summoned in the middle of the night, and there must be something urgent, so he asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, is there another change?" Fu Su had a gloomy face and told Fang Qi everything about his happy story.
Fang Qi's face changed when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "Although the minister has heard that Zhao Gao is favored by the people for a long time, he didn't expect the king to trust Zhao Gao so much!" Now that the king's will has been decided, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until I return to heaven! β
Fu Su Tie said with a blue face: "This Zhao Gao accompanies his father every day, and he has a very thorough understanding of his father's thoughts, far better than anyone else!" This poisonous snake is entrenched by his father's side, and it has always been a huge disaster for this monarch and the Qin country! β
Hearing this, Fang Qi's eyes flashed with some brilliance and said, "Your Excellency is planning to eradicate Zhao Gao?" A ray of sharpness flashed in Fusu's eyes and said: "That's what I mean, I don't know if Mr. has a clever plan?" β
Fang Qi lowered his head and thought about it, and said for a long time: "Your Majesty, please forgive your subordinates for being rude, since Zhao Gao, a eunuch, is now deeply loved by the king, and he always accompanies him, if you want to get rid of him, it is more difficult to swear than ascending to the sky!" And if the matter is leaked, the king will be furious, and it is likely to involve the king! It is really unwise for this eunuch to fight against the fate of the Qin State with his own future! β
Fu Su had an epiphany when he heard this, and his head, which was a little dizzy from anger, suddenly sobered up, and said in a deep voice: "What Mr. said is reasonable, Zhao Gao always accompanies his father and the king, and he has always been extremely cautious in doing things, and it is indeed difficult to get rid of it!" But this time, Li Si and Zhao Gao are bad for me, if I avoid it and don't fight, wouldn't it be for them to think that Benjun is good and can't be bullied!? β
Fang Qi smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, since Zhao Gao can't move lightly, and Li Si has mastered Qin Feng, there are many masters in the mansion, and it is even more difficult to kill him, so it is better to target Yao Jia." Yao Jia was responsible for advising the king and was the king's most trusted strategist. If he is killed, he will remove Li Si and Zhao Gao's most powerful arm, and let them know that the king is not a person who can be insulted; Second, as long as it is properly arranged and does not leave a trace of clues, with the strength of the monarch to control the court captain, he will definitely be able to hide from the lord, and after all, Yao Jia has made the lord have a mustard in the matter of Han Fei, and if he dies, the lord will not be too angry! I don't know what my subordinates do, what do you think? β
Fusu was shocked when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Mr. is a good plan, Li Si and Zhao Gao are bad for me, then Benjun will slaughter Yao Jia and make an example of killing chickens and monkeys!" β
"Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys? Punish someone as a warning to others! Well, you described it very well! We're just going to kill the chickens and show the monkeys! Fang Qi was also murderous.
"You will go to see Lord Feng Zai tomorrow morning, and tell him to quickly and secretly collect Yao Jia's incriminating evidence, this jun is useful!" "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Sure enough, at the court meeting the next day, without waiting for the ministers to discuss again, Qin Wangzheng announced the postponement of the establishment of the crown prince. For a while, Wang Xuan, Feng Zheng, and the generals were stunned when they heard this, but at this time, they had no power to return to the sky, so they could only sigh. And Li Si, Zhao Gao and others couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts and praised King Qin's wisdom. As for Fusu, he sat next to him and didn't say a word, but his heart was full of murderous intent and anger!

Two days later, the morning dynasty had just dispersed, and the carriages and horses of the ministers on the palace road outside the gate of the Qin Palace were sparkling, and the cheers continued, and everyone was rushing home for breakfast.
At that time, although the sky had just dawned, because it was a cloudy day, the dark clouds in the sky were rolling in, accumulating thicker and lower, as if they might fall at any time, giving people a heavy sense of oppression. The heavens and the earth have become very dark and damp because of this, like a yellow halo!
Escorted by more than a dozen close guards, Li Si's chariot and horse returned north along the palace road, and his home was not far from the Qin Palace, which was the place where the Qin Dynasty officials lived. Nine out of ten households are officials, and most of them are big officials who are more than 1,000 stone old!
Li Si's carriage and horse turned into a long street, and as long as he passed a corner at the end of the long street, Li Si's mansion was in sight.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and thunderbolts roared down from the thick clouds one after another, and lightning like a golden snake dancing wildly also scurried between the sky and the sky, reflecting the sky one after another. Suddenly, a drizzle of rain fell in the air and fell on the ground.
It's raining heavily!
Li Si couldn't help but shout anxiously in the car: "Hurry up and go home early!" "Yes, sir!" The coachman answered, raised his whip and whipped the two horses, and instantly sped up again.
Just as Lees's carriage was approaching the end of the long street, a man suddenly jumped from the roof of the street and stood in front of the carriage. The coachman was taken aback suddenly, and immediately pulled the reins, and the horse neighed, and suddenly stopped, and was only a few feet away from almost hitting someone!
The coachman scolded: "Where did you come from, bastard, you don't want to die!" The guards next to Li Si's car also dismounted together, drew their long swords, stopped in front of the car, and shouted, "Who are you, dare to stop Lord Li's car?" You can't find death! β
I saw that the person who came was dressed in green clothes, tall, strong, like a mountain bear, and gave people a strong sense of oppression from a distance. But he was wearing a hat on his head, and the eaves were low, and his face could not be seen clearly under the cloudy sky, but all the guards instinctively felt that this person was a dangerous person, and they couldn't help but clench the long sword in their hands a little nervously!
The man in Tsing Yi suddenly spoke: "Is Master Li in the car?" Please come out and speak! "The voice is sonorous and powerful, full of the sound of gold and stone.
Li Si in the car was angry because the carriage stopped abruptly and almost rushed out of the street, but then he suddenly felt the aura of danger, and how could he be willing to go out, but he raised his voice in the car: "Who are you, why are you blocking Li's way?" Don't you know that Qin's law is strict, and if you stop a minister's car privately, you will be punished with a rod for thirty years! β
The man in Tsing Yi said lightly: "I don't care what Qin Fa he is, I just want to make a deal with you!" This transaction is beneficial to Lord Li and harmless, I wonder if Lord Li is interested? Li Si was silent in the car for a while, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little weird for a while. The guards had the heart to step forward and want to drive this bold and arrogant man away, but the extremely dangerous aura emanating from the man in Tsing Yi made everyone fearful!
The man in Tsing Yi saw that Li Si should not be, and said: "Lord Li, please rest assured, I have no intention of harming it, otherwise with these waste materials under the hands of adults, I will send them away without waste, if you don't believe it, please see!" β
The man in Tsing Yi suddenly roared softly, and a rainbow was slashed under his waist with a "Cang Chang", and the guards only felt that their eyes lit up, and the long sword in their hands was like a heavy blow.
The rest of the guards were shocked and angry, and as soon as they roared angrily, they rushed up, and they wanted to beat the people in Tsing Yi in groups. I saw the long sword of the Tsing Yi man dancing rapidly, especially the green dragon soaring in mid-air, roaring like thunder, the light flashed rapidly, and there was a crisp sound of "clanging bell", and the long swords in the hands of the guards were taken off one after another, and the chest and abdomen were hit hard, but between three or five breaths, more than a dozen guards were all knocked to the ground by the Tsing Yi man, rolling and moaning in pain!
Li Si saw it really through the gap in the curtain in the car, and couldn't help but gasp in his heart, and the cold sweat on his forehead was also brushed, and he said in his heart: "My subordinate swordsmen are all first-class good hands, so isn't this Tsing Yi man's swordsmanship capable of reaching the heavens and the earth and frightening ghosts and gods!" However, this man in Tsing Yi is merciful, otherwise I'm afraid my subordinates would have been killed long ago! Li Si thought about it, this Tsing Yi man should have no malicious intent, so he said: "A strong man is good at swordsmanship, if a strong man does not give up, please go to Li Qi's mansion to talk about it!" β
The man in Tsing Yi nodded and said, "Okay, my lord first!" Li Si sighed, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead in the car, and said, "Go home!" The coachman was frightened for a moment, and hurriedly trembled and shouted: "Drive! Hearing the order, he pulled the horse and walked slowly. The man in Tsing Yi jumped onto a guard and rode on a horse, following closely behind.
The rest of the guards cursed loudly, struggled from the ground in pain, and helped each other to disappear into the rain!
