There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies in Vanity Fair.

Li Si suddenly softened, firstly, because he could feel that the world was gradually turbulent, and Great Qin had to be a pillar stone, and the other reason was because the situation had changed after the overall situation had been decided, and looking back, he didn't want to do too much to this empire that had served him for half his life, which would further disappoint the trust of the First Emperor......

Zhao Gao sat in the car, his body swayed back and forth with the rotation of the wheels, for some reason, he now likes to lift the window and look out, which is interesting, as long as he sees the waiter outside the car with a unique gauze hat and does not dare to move, you can experience one or two.

Finally got rid of the past identity, and finally could drive in and out of Xianyang Palace by car, the last time Li Si was too pompous, it violated the will of the first emperor, will there be such a thing now?

They're from the Dragon's Minister!

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Zhao Gao closed the car window, and just wanted to close his eyes to recuperate, when he suddenly heard someone blocking the road in front of him, and then the car stopped.

"Lang Zhong ordered, Your Majesty has something to inquire about, and ordered the slave maid to come and summon him."

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

The attendant approached the car, lowered his head and said, "The slave doesn't know. ”

"Where can I see the driver?"

"Hui Lang Zhongling, in Shanglin Yuan."

Zhao Gao opened the car window again, glanced at the passerby, and didn't know which reverie was evoked by this waiter, he rarely had a mouthful: "People in the palace, see more, talk less, and think less to live a long time, understand?" ”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, how could he not know that this was the senior who mentioned himself? As long as you have eyes, you can know who the emperor is closest to, how can you let go of such a good opportunity?

"Slave and maid Han talk, thank you Lang Zhongling for helping, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, let the slave and maid lead the way."

Zhao Gao answered, sat firmly in the car and didn't say anything.

Going all the way, Han Tan's performance was very unexpected, this person ran with an even breath while talking, and it also made him vaguely know why the emperor was looking for him - Hu Hai has been bored recently and wants to find something to relieve his boredom.

After arriving at Shanglin Yuan, Zhao Gao stuffed something into his cuff when Han Tan helped him get out of the car, and then straightened his clothes and hat as if nothing happened, and hurried to the place where the second world was located.

When the two of them also approached the emperor, Hu Hai was holding a bow and shooting arrows, the bloodline of the old Qin people may not be written, but there are few martial arts, one arrow after another brought back prey, Zhao Gao's eyebrows jumped, and his mood sank.

But he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's archery skills are superb, and the old minister is the Great Qin He!" ”

"For Da Qinhe!"

Hu Hai ignored the messy cheers, turned his head to see Zhao Gao, and said bitterly: "Zhao A...... Lang Zhongling's order came just in time, and he was almost annoyed to death! ”

Zhao Gao smiled as always: "Your Majesty, you are now the lord of the world, what are you bored about?" ”

"Ah...... Stand down, all of you! ”

"Whoa!"

When only the two of them were left in the huge venue, Hu Hai's child's heart could no longer be hidden: "Father Zhao didn't know, I thought that as an emperor, I could have fun doing whatever I wanted!"

But to this day, I always have endless pieces of music and endless etiquette, which is really different! ”

"So what does Your Majesty want to do?"

Hu Hai pointed into the distance: "I just want to live without being as tired as my father, and have time to enjoy more glory, and I also want to be admired by all the people and leave a name in history!" ”

Zhao Gao bowed: "What Your Majesty thinks is not difficult, and the old minister is willing to share it." ”

"Father Zhao has a way?"

Almost watching him grow up, the heart, liver, spleen and lungs of this half-grown man in front of him can't hide anything from Zhao Gao, after thinking for a while, he continued: "The etiquette can be put aside, there are old ministers and prime ministers in the government, Your Majesty has been famous in history since he ascended the throne, and the rest only depends on your preferences." ”

"Father, this ...... Can it really be? ”

"Why not? When the first emperor unified the six countries, wasn't it for today? The Afang Palace that His Majesty just referred to is exactly what the first emperor liked! ”

Hu Hai nodded after listening: "Yes, yes, yes!" I heard that when Yao Shun ruled the world, he ate wild vegetables and lived in thatched huts, wrapped in skins in winter and wore linen cloth in summer......

There is also Dayu who is tired of running back and forth, not saying that he can't see his relatives, and finally ends up dying in a foreign country, what do you say they are trying to do? ”

As soon as Zhao Gao opened his mouth to answer, he heard Hu Hai continue: "I can see that those ritual laws are all required of saints, poor scholars and ordinary people!"

It is said that the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, but he can't get any benefits, he can't get a single thought, where is the mind to govern the world?

I want to be a wise monarch and a happy emperor, only in this way can I enjoy the world! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

There is no need to say anything more, what the emperor wants is in the right place, Zhao Gao is very happy in his heart, and he hurriedly offers a sycophant.

Hu Hai continued to say his decision: "Father Zhao, I often hear people say that filial piety is the foundation of virtue, I think, if the unfinished work of the monarch is completed, is it considered filial piety? ”

"Yes, of course! Your Majesty is thinking ......"

"I want to continue to build the Afang Palace and fulfill my father's last wish......

There are also fewer birds and beasts in the upper forest garden, and it is no longer as lively as it used to be, and I want to collect rare and exotic beasts from all over the world.

And also...... I want to go on patrol! ”

When he heard the first two, Zhao Gao didn't react, but he was really fed up with the cruise, the world was unstable and didn't say anything, it was useless to stay away from Xianyang for a long time!

I also hope to take the opportunity to gather more people and hold some power, who wants to go out and eat sand!

"Your Majesty has just come to the throne, and your foothold is not stable, and it seems that it is better to postpone the patrol according to the ministers, and it can be seen at today's court meeting that several princes are not convinced by you, and they may not be plotting something."

As soon as Zhao Gao said this, Hu Hai suddenly panicked, suspecting that his neighbor was stealing the axe and being a thief, and what he said was his mentality at this time, and the big position was not just like a thorn in his heart, and then he recalled the eyes of his brothers under this premise, he would only feel that everyone wanted to replace him.

"Father Zhao, how is this good?!"

"Your Majesty, don't panic, the old minister has already thought of it."

"Father taught me ......"

Zhao Gao squatted down, picked up a few blades of grass and gestured: "Your Majesty, please see, this is all the princes, this is the ministers of the court, they have one thing in common, that is, they all have merit."

These people are obedient on the surface, and they are suspicious in their hearts, and if they are not careful, the world will not be at peace.

The old minister thought that if His Majesty wanted to sit firmly in the world, he would have to win the hearts of the people, and the old ministers had other plans in their hearts that were difficult to subdue, so it was better to promote some newcomers to fill the court, so as to show favor and seek retribution.

Do you think, if a person's family is rich from His Majesty, and the position of official is also from His Majesty, then this person will only be grateful to His Majesty and swear allegiance to the death, wouldn't it be several times better than the old ministers? ”

Hu Hai pinched the grass leaves and looked at them for a moment, and wondered: "What if the old clan is unwilling to give in?" ”

Zhao Gao was expressionless: "Then there is only one way, get rid of them all!" ”

"Kill?"

Zhao Gao took the blade of grass and rolled it back and forth between his fingers: "Your Majesty, this method still has to get rid of them after all, the difference is only earlier and later."

Think about it, if the princes contact the ministers to act rebelliously, will they let Your Majesty go? How can you enjoy the world forever? ”

Hu Hai stomped the blade of grass on the ground fiercely: "Okay! Just do as my father says, the clan, the officials, and the attendants...... As long as there are those involved, none will be left! ”

Zhao Gao lowered his head and saluted, and the smile hidden in the corner of his mouth rippled: "Obey." ”

……

……

A rain in Xianyang, tears in the blood, Lishan lingered in the sound, and the soul was shocked.

Hu Hai's edict was written as "clan", so of course Zhao Gao would arrest the princess when he executed it, and on the day the decree was issued, the twelve princesses were arrested together, and ten princesses were also taken to Dudi.

No one knew what was waiting for them, even Hu Hai, who personally wrote the edict, only knew that his brothers and sisters would die as soon as this order came out.

But he didn't know that every tooth that Zhao Gao bit into the Great Qin Sect was stained with poison......

Abandonment of the city, but this abandonment of the city is not a simple punishment of the city and the public abandonment, not a knife to the head to show the people, in the words of Zhao Gao's subordinates: It must be killed, and it is best for everyone to participate......

Killing is not any kind of punishment, but refers to killing again after the insult is enough, and as for the means, it all depends on what the soldiers and civilians who are either crazy or too frightened will do to get out of control......

Zhao Gao's move not only broke the "punishment is not a doctor's courtesy", but also "the king's clan is not a city" into the sludge and abandoned.

In the past, the high-ranking son was allowed to be trampled on by the people of Qianshou at will, which is a crazy thing.

Zongzheng Mansion went crazy, because Zhao Gao completely bypassed them and directly tortured the clan, and without even an interrogation process, he pulled people to Nanshi and set up a posture......

The court lieutenant was crazy, because Hu Hai even changed the Qin law for this execution, just when they moved with emotion and reason, and thought that they had convinced the emperor, it was another edict, the law was not changed, but the law enforcement procedures were changed, and the fate of the sons was all pinched into Zhao Gao's hands......

The people are about to go crazy, there has been a difference between the noble and the low since ancient times, and now let them ride on the head of the prince and insult them arbitrarily, the result is that most of them are too frightened and behave extremely fiercely, not to mention that they have been strangled by Qin Zheng for a long time, and now they suddenly have an opportunity to vent, they can't tell the difference between the empire of Great Qin and the sons of the clan......

The only prime minister Li Si who was not crazy was scared sick after his daughter-in-law was taken away several times......

Twelve sons, twelve lives, they were insulted like never before they died, and their humanity was already pressed together by Qin Law, and it was particularly violent to burst out of their darkness at this time.

The blood-soaked clothes exuded an indescribable smell of filth, and one by one they stuck to the body, cracking the wounds even more, turning the seven orifices into bloody holes, twisting hands and feet, concave torsos, and completely invisible skin......

Without exception, the lower half of these sons have been taken care of, and only a piece of minced meat remains, but someone took good care of them before the actual execution, so as not to let them die early......

This most vicious feast lasted for half a day, until the cry of blood came from an unnoticed carriage near the execution ground.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao's life is yours, and you asked for castration at the beginning, and now that your life has been squandered, Zhao Gao is still alive and well......"

"Your Majesty, there are many ways to trust people, why do you choose to trust Chinese people, in this case, Zhao Gao will send the sons to accompany you, you have to trust them......"

"Your Majesty, you will engrave your life's achievements in the world, I don't know how long this world can last......"

"Your Majesty, Qin Zhao is originally of the same clan and clan, why should they fight each other and never stop, let alone more than forty years, no matter how long it is, how can Zhao Gao forget his mother who lives in the hidden palace......"

"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao doesn't even know who his other brothers' fathers are, how can he forget such a shameful humiliation! This is a family ugliness and a family feud! ”

"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao's surname is Zhao, Zhao of Zhao State! Zhao of the Qin State! When the two Zhao met together, they became a national hate! ”

……

……

Zhao Cheng has been staying outside the car, listening to his brother's intermittent crying, he is not as deep as Zhao Gao for the old grievances, but after many years of living in the hidden palace, another set of rules of behavior has been immersed in their bones.

"Brother, everyone is scattered, let's go back too."

Zhao Gao opened the car window and revealed an expressionless face, except for a little paleness, it was completely impossible to see that this person had just experienced a big ups and downs of mood swings.

It wasn't until he turned his head to look at the execution ground that he frowned, as if everything that happened just now had nothing to do with him, and said in a disgusted tone: "It turns out that the prince of Daqin can also cry and kneel, I thought they were all made of gold and iron, the same as those twelve golden people......"

Zhao Cheng said with a smile: "If my brother hasn't seen enough, tomorrow the princess will be executed and come to watch again, and it should be even more lively." ”

Zhao Gao sighed: "Forget it, leave some dignity for the hundred officials and the Great Qin Clan, our future road can be better, and tomorrow, let them kill the princess directly in Du Di." ”

矺, also known as 箺線, is a cruel punishment that decomposes the limbs, and the difference with a chariot is only whether or not to use a horse......

Zhao Cheng was not only not surprised when he heard this, but said: "Brother is really merciful, cheap them......

……

……

After the prime minister fell ill, there was no one in the court who could contain Zhao Gao, or Li Si couldn't suppress him, but this time, with the blood of the clan, the poisonous snake in Zhao Gao's heart was finally released.

The death of the twelve sons was just the beginning, as more and more officials were killed and tortured, for three whole days, Xianyang City was full of blood and mosquitoes.

In this environment, there are fewer and fewer shops, museums, and houses that dare to open the door, and there are fewer and fewer people who dare to go to the street......

Everyone is in danger, the real everyone is in danger, at first there were officials who visited each other and wanted to protect themselves, but since someone came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and listened to Li Li Shen talking about the tragic situation of the princess's death, no one dared to visit the door anymore.

Immediately afterwards, the three people who were leaked outside the net, including Jiang Lu, were arrested again, and when they asked about the crime, they shouted "God, I am not guilty" and killed themselves with swords.

Then, the last prince couldn't bear it, and took the initiative to ask for the burial of the first emperor in order to protect the family.

So far, only one of the thirty-three children of the First Emperor remained......

"Tomorrow the underground palace will be blocked, are all the funeral things ready?"

"The first emperor liked Meng Shangqing the most during his lifetime, so it is better to let him give him a ride."
