Chapter 54: The Superstitious Emperor
The people in the army and the people in the palace have two sets of thinking, in Zhao Gao's opinion, the kind of authority around the whole body of the ministers are very enviable, perhaps because of the rest of the sentence, many eunuchs have the problem of being cautious and fighting, and the retribution has almost become a specialty, especially Zhao Gao, who was born in the hidden palace, and his goal is higher......
In comparison, Wang Li, who grew up listening to the drums and horns, is much simpler, and in his thinking, the most important thing is the words "humiliation" and "death". National humiliation, do you die or do I die?
The rest, it's just a matter of killing you or killing yourself, and the only thing that can wash away the shame is blood, either yours or mine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When two people collide like this, you don't have to think about it to know who is at a loss.
Wang left, staggered out of Xianyang Palace against the wind and rain, and from a distance, the back lacked the vigor that young people should have, but disappeared in the rain and fog like a dying old man.
When the people were far away, Zhao Gao immediately took a closer look, as a master of copywriting, he found the place he was most interested in at a glance.
What kind of "heavenly fire burning grain", "Xuanniao diagram" and the like are not credible, and they are just means of deceiving the upper and lower to excuse themselves, which is not clever at all! Zhao Gao expressed contempt in his heart, and was quickly attracted by another piece of news.
These thieves actually have the help of the Mo family agency to defend the city? What's going on?
The Mo family is not something that can be won over casually, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have put so much effort into the end and finally gained nothing.
In order to get their help, they must first recognize each other, could it be that the thieves have bought the self-depraved inkers? That's not right, how could such a thing happen with the tightness of Emmon? Who is helping the thieves?
After thinking about it for a long time and not figuring it out, Zhao Gao rolled up Jian Chun, and finally thought about it, and then re-unfolded the war book Jian Chun, and stretched it out in the rain for a while before putting it away.
Anyway, everyone saw that Wang Li was entrusting the bamboo slips in the rain, and it was normal to get wet! It doesn't matter if you don't spend many words, as long as you don't leave traces of deliberate actions, as long as you can make the emperor upset and impatient when he reads it.
"Zhongche Ling, Your Majesty has already finished getting angry, I'm afraid I'm going to use the jade seal in a while, you can go over quickly."
"Got it."
Zhao Gao snatched the hat and trotted all the way to the main hall, even the hem of his clothes soaked in muddy water didn't care, and when he came to the outside of the hall, he wrung out his clothes and sorted out his appearance to prepare for driving.
Stretching out his head to see, the bamboo slips in the hall were scattered all over the place, most of the lights in front of the imperial steps were extinguished, and the smoker that was originally placed on the case was three-legged to the sky, and the incense ash was sprinkled everywhere, and several waiters were cleaning up.
"Your Majesty, take care!"
"Zhao Gao! You came just in time, is there any news of Xu Fu? When will I find my elixir? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Xu Fu has already gone to sea, as for when to bring back the immortal medicine...... The slave doesn't know. ”
Ying Zheng coughed lightly and said in disappointment: "I haven't come back yet... I'm afraid I can't wait, so I'll send a message to the counties, and if there is anyone who offers immortal medicine, it will be sent to the palace immediately. ”
"Whoa."
Zhao Gao cleaned up the messy hall as he preached, didn't ask a word, and never expressed his opinion. Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this, glanced at the raindrops on the ground, and asked, "Is Wang Li still outside?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, after the slave and maid have announced the decree, General Wang will go back."
"Hmm... Did he say anything? ”
"General Wang left a war record and asked the slaves and maids to hand it over to His Majesty, and said that the battle was actually among them."
"Bring it on!"
Zhao Gao picked up the bamboo slip and put it on the emperor's desk like a treasure, Ying Zheng opened it and looked at it, his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and his face became more and more impatient, and the last one was still on the ground.
"Nonsense! I, Daqin, was ordered by heaven, how could such a ridiculous thing happen, Wang Li didn't want to make progress as a general, he only thought about exculpating himself, he really didn't repent!
Hmph, you can see how he behaved in the army from this Jane, although the war status is small, it is obtained by the blood of the army, and if this thing is not cherished, how can he cherish the lives of soldiers!
I was really blind, and let him lead the troops to the battle, no wonder I couldn't take the little traitor! ”
"Your Majesty is angry, take care!"
"Take care? Can taking care can you start the war again? Can taking care bring my army back from the dead? Come on, come on! ”
Zhao Gao's heart jumped, and he said nicely: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of Great Qin, one crime cannot be punished twice......"
Ying Zheng had a calm face, and shouted to the waiter: "Go, reprimand Wang Li, and Li Xin, too!" ”
"Whoa."
For a person who believes in the elixir of immortality and has received several prophecies, the Xuanniao Heart Piercing Diagram recorded in the battle report is what he cares about the most.
From the "****" brought back by Lu Sheng to the "ancestral dragon will die" when the jade seal returned, if those are all slanders deliberately released by people with ulterior motives, then how to explain it this time? How can a whole army see the sky fire hanging in the air at the same time?
One was silent, the other didn't dare to breathe, a gentleman and a servant were quiet for a long time, and Ying Zhengcai said: "Go and pass Taibu, I want divination!" ”
The emperor wants to tell fortunes, where can he not take things seriously, Zhao Gao not only sent Taibu, but even Taishi, who is in charge of the celestial phenomena, also called.
The grass and tortoise shells were lined up, and when the Taibu was reciting the words, the Taishi who came with him was about to cry - I looked at a hairy star in the daytime! It's a rainy day!
Fortunately, the Taibu Lord was very conscientious, and it took most of the day just to bathe and burn incense, and he strictly adhered to the professional ethics of "no more than three", and finally looked at the bad omen three times, and the somewhat dazed Taibu came to say: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
……
……
"Taishi, please watch the heavens."
It is uncomfortable to sell Guan Zi in front of the emperor, Taibu can only say the hexagram in 1510, and he is all murderer three times? This is slander! Drag it out!
Now it's Taishi's turn to be anxious, there is a lesson from the past over there, and the rest basically understands what to say, but he doesn't know why His Majesty started the hexagram! Ask about the war? Ask the heirs? Ask Tiannian?
At this time, it was too high-ranking place, and he didn't mention the continuous rain outside, but secretly stretched out three fingers to Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao was unmoved.
The three fingers shook heavily, Zhao Gao nodded, and looked at the direction of Huiji silently.
What is this for? Remind me that I can't watch the stars and still watch the air? Oh! I see!
"Your Majesty, according to Weichen, there is a son of heaven in the southeast!"
After Zhao Gaoxin finished speaking, the six boxes of belongings could only be tried to get back when he searched the house.
"Oh? Heavenly Son? How so? ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers look at the southeast colorful clouds in the sky, this is a sign of the Son of Heaven's qi, for my Great Qin to settle down, it is better to break its luck early!"
Zhao Gao glanced at Taishi in surprise: Huh? A little quick, huh?
Ying Zheng's face was cloudy: "How to break his luck?" ”
"The luck of the world should have been attributed to Your Majesty, but now that you are injured, this is leaking a little, if you want to solve it, it is simple, and the minister has three strategies to protect it.
One is that His Majesty travels again to suppress it, second, to fill the auspicious land with filth and destroy its luck, and third, to dig a mountain hill to vent its heavenly spirit, so that the three strategies are parallel, which can protect the great Qin and Chang'an! ”
"The matter of going out on patrol will be discussed separately, and the other two items will be handled according to what Taishi said, as for the manpower...... Prisoners can be sent to conscription again, and there must be no loss! ”
"Minister, obey!"
