Chapter 66: Convincing Wang Li
"Naturally, this matter is decided by Zhao Fuling and Prime Minister Li Cheng." Since this is the case, Hu Hai also held an attitude that neither side would provoke, and said with a smile.
When Li Si and Zhao Gao heard this, they both nodded secretly, obviously satisfied with Hu Hai's answer, this impartial attitude was exactly what the two of them needed now. "Prime Minister Li Cheng, in this border army, only Wang Li has this prestige and is worthy of heavy responsibility, you don't want to abolish the public for personal reasons." Zhao Gao looked at Li Si and said lightly.
Hearing that Zhao Gao squeezed himself, Li Si flicked his sleeves with some anger, and at this point, he had no choice but to dispel the idea of letting Li You be in charge of the 300,000 border army. As for Wang Li, Li Si actually knew in his heart that this Wang Li was definitely not Zhao Gao's person, so he could rest assured. So, Li Si compromised and said: "Okay, according to what you say, this Wang Li will replace Meng Tian." ”
"Very good, Gao will send the next holy decree to Jiuyuan." Zhao Gao showed joy, his eyes were sly, "In addition, this Fusu should also be killed." ”
"This matter should not be delayed for long." Li Si also urged.
"Hmm. Gao understands! Zhao Gao bowed.
After the matter was discussed, Hu Hai also left, out of the big tent, he took a deep breath, looked at the starry sky, he couldn't hide his excitement and laughed. As for Zhao Gao, after returning to his camp, he immediately ordered someone to find his son-in-law Yan Le, and then ordered in a low voice: "You go to Jiuyuan quickly and hand over this holy decree to Wang Li." Remember, this is a big deal and you have to be careful. ”
Yan Le is also a person with exquisite faces, he respectfully accepted the holy decree and said, "Father-in-law, rest assured, the son-in-law will personally hand it over to General Wang." ”
"In addition, you will tell Wang Li about this again." Zhao Gao asked Yan Le to come over, and he muttered a lot.
"What?" When Yan Le heard this, he was also shocked.
"You can know about this, don't spread it." Zhao Gao said sharply.
Yan Le nodded solemnly, he also knew that his father-in-law's plan was not small at this moment, "Son-in-law understands, I will rush to Jiuyuan." ”
This night, from the first emperor's parade camp, Duoqi quietly left, Zhao Gao gave many orders, this Great Qin is afraid that it will be turbulent.
And Liu Yuan, who was far away on the road of conscription, also advanced to Jiuyuan again after incorporating another conscription team. After entering the upper county, the gallop road became more developed, and the speed of their escort also increased a lot. Counting the days, it has been more than two months since the departure from the Surabaya Pavilion, and the autumn will pass, and the cold winter is coming.
The autumn wind in Shangjun has gradually bitten, and the loess in the sky is flying, which makes it even more lonely.
"It's soon, in half a month, we will almost arrive in Jiuyuan City." Cao Shen took a sip of water and said with a sigh.
"yes." Liu Yuan nodded in a condensed voice, but the uneasiness in his heart was also getting stronger and stronger, according to historical data, the First Emperor may be about to die, and a conspiracy led by Zhao Gao and Li Si for the throne may be unfolding. The worry in Liu Yuan's heart is not something that Cao Shen can understand.
Time passed in a flash, and after the henchmen arranged by Zhao Gao returned to Xianyang City, they immediately led people to block the city. For a time, the whole Xianyang was in turmoil. And Yan Le hurried up, and he had already arrived at Jiuyuan at this moment. After the briefing, he entered the great tent of Wang Li. Wang Li had already stood up at this moment, he was heroic and heroic, not angry and arrogant, "Yan Le? What are you here for? ”
Yan Le took out the holy decree from his bosom and said in a deep voice, "Le was ordered to come and deliver the decree. ”
"Your Majesty's will?" Wang Li did not dare to slack off, and carefully took the holy decree, and after he opened it, he was suddenly surprised. Wang Li glanced up at Yan Le and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty ordered Li to serve as the general of this border army?" ”
"Yes, General Meng will go to Xianyang immediately to report on his work." Yan Le nodded, "In the future, the commander of this border army will be General Wang." ”
Wang Li was a little unclear, Yan Le saw this, and smiled secretly, he remembered his father-in-law's private words before leaving, at this time he arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "General Wang, Your Majesty has died." It turned out that Zhao Gao had privately informed him about the First Emperor.
"What? Your Majesty has died? Wang Li looked at Yan Le with a fierce gaze, and seeing that the latter did not have any timidity, he asked anxiously: "When did Your Majesty die, and why haven't I received any news?" Also, who gave this decree? ”
Seeing that Wang Li was so anxious to ask, Yan Le replied: "Your Majesty has issued a decree to order Prince Hu Hai to succeed to the throne, and this holy decree is naturally made by Prince Hu Hai. ”
Wang Li sneered, "Hu Hai? How could His Majesty let Hu Hai succeed him? ”
"Believe it or not is General Wang's own judgment." Yan Le didn't explain too much, he said lightly: "However, I want to remind General Wang that Xianyang City is under the control of Prince Huhai, and the Meng family is finished, the Wang family, hehe!" ”
"You dare to threaten me Wang Li?" Wang Li scolded angrily and immediately drew his sword to face each other.
"It's not a threat, it's a reminder. Meng Tian has been suppressing General Wang in the border army, isn't his purpose to suppress your Wang family? Yan Le looked at Wang Li deeply, and continued without hesitation or fear. I know that General Wang's sister is the wife of Fusu Gongzi, however, Mrs. Wang Fang should have lost her soul in Xianyang at this moment. ”
"Bold!" Wang Li put a sword on Yan Le's neck, "How dare you kill your sister?" ”
"Haha, haha!" Yan Le laughed, he looked at Wang Li fearlessly, and then said: "General Wang, this is the order of Prince Huhai, if you kill Le today, he will ascend the throne on the other day, and you will be a criminal general." ”
"Do you really think I don't dare kill you?" Wang Li was furious, he was killing Yan Le with him, when suddenly the big tent opened, and an adjutant general ran in with a panicked expression.
"General, Fusu Gongzi committed suicide!" The lieutenant's words were astonishing.
Wang Li was stunned, he was at a loss for a while, "What about General Mengda?" ”
"General Meng has been escorted to Xianyang."
At this time, Wang Li finally understood his situation, Fusu was dead, and Meng Tian was detained, all of which made him feel in crisis. If Hu Hai ascends the throne, what will be his fate? Will his royal family survive? Wang Li was a little confused.
He sent this deputy general down, and at this moment there was no anger to kill Yan Le, Wang Li sat down a little decadently, and the atmosphere in the camp was a little stagnant. Yan Le walked around from the ghost gate, and he also had some resentment towards Wang Li in his heart. However, he still said: "General Wang, the enthronement of Prince Hu Hai is imminent, hehe, at this time, only Lezhi's father-in-law can protect you and the Wang family." ”
"Zhao Gao?" Wang Li's eyes lit up, how could he forget Zhao Gao, now in this situation, he can only ask for help from this eunuch. "If the Zhao Mansion can protect my Wang family, the king will be sent in the future."
Hearing this, Yan Le also breathed a sigh of relief, he came to Jiuyuan this time, and issuing an edict was only one of them, the most important thing was to persuade Wang Li. Yan Le had to admire his father-in-law's scheming and methods, blockading Xianyang, beheading the Meng family, and then executing Fusu by the order, and escorting Meng Tian, all of which were blamed on Hu Hai, and finally let this Wang Li obediently submit.
The old fox is the old fox, Li Si thought that Zhao Gao's recommendation of Wang Li was selfless, but in fact, all this was a game that Zhao Gao had laid down a long time ago.
Thanks I'm asking for my tip!
