Chapter 306: Zhang Cang knew the situation and fled to Xianyang
Seeing this, the eunuch threw the edict directly on the ground, and walked out of the mansion with some disdain, Li Si hurriedly picked up the edict, and became a little helpless for a while, and immediately ordered someone to summon the old and young in the mansion.
In the living room, except for Li You, dozens of people gathered in a moment, all of whom were Li Si's descendants, and everyone didn't know what Li Si was doing, so they suddenly summoned them.
The so-called Yi three clans are parents, brothers, and wives, and Li Si is over 70 years old, where are the brothers and parents, and the only ones who are killed are him and his sons.
"Father, don't you have any important orders to gather all the children and grandchildren of the family today?" The second son of Li Si asked with some confusion.
Li Si did not answer, but handed the edict on the case to the princes in front of him, signaling them to see it for themselves.
"This is the king's edict, Li You will guard Sanchuan for the time being, and choose a day to ask and behead, we are a capital crime, not as good as our grandchildren, you go back and send all your grandchildren away, your wife and children write a letter of resignation, don't affect others." Li Si said slowly.
"Father, this is Zhao Gao's treacherous plan, how can my Li family rebel, we should go to Wangyi Palace to inform the king!" The third son of Li Si said with some resentment.
Li Si sighed slightly, "What do you know! This edict is like this, how can the king not know, but it is just to let Zhao Gao do things, Qin Zhi will die, we are dead, so as not to be a minister of the country, Li You had better be able to die on the battlefield, so that the Li family is also complete. ”
"Although the book is of the Yi three clans, the only one killed is you, my father and son, and your wives and children are all sent back to various places, and you need to sneak in secret, so as not to be calculated by Zhao Gao."
Li Si in the living room arranged everything, drank a cup of warm tea calmly, and the two sons did not complain, and immediately went down to arrange the family affairs neatly.
The next day, when the court lieutenant was in charge, there were only three people, Li Si and his two sons, Zhao Gao heard about this, so he didn't do much to investigate, as long as Li Si died.
In prison, Li Si originally wanted to go to school, but at the moment Zhao Gao's people were guarding outside, and he only wanted to die, and doing more was just a futile struggle.
A few days later, all three of Li Si were escorted to Xianyang East City, and Zhang Cang also arrived when he heard the news.
In front of the execution table, Zhang Cang stood aside, Li Si's expression was very calm, "Senior brother, did you expect what happened today?" But why not refute it? ”
"Hey, Zhao Gao is in power, but I didn't expect the king to be so mediocre, and a trace of luck in my heart is gone at the moment. Li Si said helplessly.
Zhang Cang immediately poured the sake next to him, and put his hands to Li Si's mouth, "Senior brother, do you have any regrets now?" It may be said that Cang will do his best. ”
Li Si immediately drank the sake, "What regrets do I have, I am already very satisfied with helping the first emperor unify the six countries, I only blame me for not knowing the right time to retreat, but I ended up like this!" ”
"I think I'm ashamed in my heart, I'm most sorry for my senior brother Han Feizi, and now after I die, I will face my master and all my brothers without a word." After that, the tears flowed endlessly.
Zhang Cang didn't say more, nodded slightly, stepped back, and with the order of the supervisor, Li Si and his son, who fell in Xianyang East City, became famous for a generation, and finally became the soul of the sword.
At this time, it was already the summer of 208 AD, Zhang Cang ordered people to put away Li Si's body, and then left depressed, throughout Li Si's life, talented, jealous, and the first emperor side by side for several years, the merit is greater than the fault.
Zhang Cang returned to the mansion, feeling terrified, now the ministers of the court, in addition to Yan Le, Zhao Cheng, and Zhao Chang, there is only one old minister left, Zhang Cang, who still wants to blackmail the pawn of Nanhou.
In the courtyard of the house, Zhang Cang's mood is complicated, if he leaves with a book, Hu Hai will definitely not allow it, and will send people to defend strictly, after Zhang Han, Dong Peng, Sima Xin, Shejian, Wang Li, and Su Jiao are all deputy generals, and it is difficult to have a big resistance, only Pingnanhou may bring a trace of comfort to Hu Hai.
"If I don't leave today, I will definitely be guarded tomorrow, so I might as well take some salutes and travel in casual clothes at night." Zhang Cang made up his mind and began to pack his luggage.
With only two clothes and a small amount of money, all the maids and servants in the family worked normally, and no one was dismissed, which can be regarded as acting in concealment.
That night, Zhang Cang left Xianyang without informing anyone, and when Zhao Gao sent someone to ask Zhang Cang to discuss the affairs of the palace, he found that Zhang Cang had already disappeared.
When Zhao Gao heard the news, he was shocked, and he didn't dare to report to Hu Hai at all, so he sent someone to chase him first, but Zhang Cang only rode a horse when he left, and he didn't know if he returned to Linzi, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The people sent out went to Linzi to wait first, but they didn't see anyone, let alone other places, Zhao Gao had no choice but to tell Hu Hai.
In Wangyi Palace, Hu Hai was drinking, and when he saw Zhao Gao suddenly breaking in, he was very surprised, "Why is the prime minister flustered?" What can be done slowly? ”
"Your Majesty, something is wrong! That Zhang Yushi actually went back to Linzi without permission, and we didn't dare to stop it at all, and asked the king to show it! Zhao Gao said in a panic.
Hu Hai frowned slightly after hearing this, and then laughed again, "Zhang Cang must miss Pingnanhou and want to go back to see, knowing that I will not agree, so I don't say goodbye, now you don't have to worry, Zhang Han is still here, let him go." ”
"However, if Zhang Han's army is defeated and Pingnan Hou doesn't come, then who will guard Xianyang?" Zhao asked in a low voice.
"The prime minister's son-in-law, Xianyang County Ling, and Zhao Cheng and Zhao Chang are not all talents recommended by the prime minister? And thieves like Chen Sheng are not to be feared. Hu Hai said indifferently.
As everyone knows, due to Zhao Gao's deception, Hu Hai still thinks that there is only one thief, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and the rest of the places are peaceful.
Hearing Hu Hai's words, Zhao Gao was just silent, bowed and saluted, and then reluctantly retreated, the current Xianyang, although Zhao Gao's world, but the worries of various places kept coming, without Li Si, Zhao Gao had to hand over these things to the remaining doctors in the palace to deal with.
Now that Zhang Cang fled, Zhao Gao had no trace to find, so he had to give up the matter, and pay serious attention to the battle in Zhang Han ahead, hoping to disintegrate the forces in various places.
Let's say that this Zhang Cang knew that he would definitely be pursued by the people sent by Xianyang if he escaped, so he did not escape according to the route to Linzi, but came to the land of Qijun.
After a few more days, I came to Pei County, and I wanted to inquire about my residence, but I didn't think about it, but I was arrested by the officials of Pei County, and the reason is very clear.
Forty or fifty years old, mild-looking, plainly dressed, with a suitcase, and a fast horse, after such an audit, he was definitely a secret agent sent by other places, so he was arrested and imprisoned, if he did not recruit, he would be beheaded in Pei County.
