Chapter Ninety-Three: Another Batch of Green Paper
Ji Le had great expectations for the other immortal dao, and gave a lot of cultivation materials from the Spirit Palace before letting the two leave.
After being idle, Ji Le stretched and asked Su Zhi, "What else is in today's itinerary?"
Since talking to the young man, Ji Le has adjusted his mood and continued his great cause of prospering the country.
"The next thing is to practice calligraphy, and then in the afternoon to practice swords with the Nameless Excellency. By the way, at noon, you also said that you wanted to see the cultivation results of the martial soul, and you would inspect the Spirit Palace at dusk. Sister Cui Jing also said, I hope you will visit the god Zongbu to strengthen your relationship with the gods of the Spirit Palace. ”
"Then let's do the same!"
Ji Le put away the mountain and river scrolls and prepared for today's practice session.
At this time, Meng Tian sent someone to bring the paper they had made. When he saw the green paper with a blue color and a little bamboo fragrance, Ji Le's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what to think.
Su Zhi stood aside, also a little strange: this paper is too similar to the green paper on Zhao Gao's side, right?
Ji Le stroked the cyan paper and asked softly, "This is what you developed alone?"
"Yes...... Yes. The visitor was a little panicked, but still insisted: "This is the latest green paper developed by the general with us." ”
Ji Le's face sank like water, and he didn't say anything, but instructed Su Zhi: "Send this paper to that guy, he is short of paper when he has been practicing calligraphy recently." ”
"Yes. Su Zhi was puzzled, picked up the green paper and went to the back of the palace to find the young man.
The young man was sitting with Shi Huang and drinking at the moment.
After hearing Su Zhi's words, the two maintained a high degree of attention.
Shi Huang: "Do you still have the green paper you have on hand?"
"There are a few more. The young man hurried to the house and took out a few pieces of Zhao-style green paper that he had obtained yesterday.
Compared with the green paper sent by Meng Tian, the two types of paper are almost identical.
"The only difference may be the proportion of spiritual liquid mixed into the pulp, and the concentration of the spiritual energy in the Mongolian style is thicker. Shi Huang stretched out his hand to stroke the two kinds of paper: "Do you think that the same inspiration and the same production process are only one day apart, is this a coincidence?"
The young man and Su Zhi shook their heads one after another. The two of them had already guessed the doorway.
I'm afraid that there is a party stealing the green paper process.
Morally, this is clearly a bad behavior. And when it comes to the competition between the two, it's even more troublesome.
"In my heart, I hope it was the thief who stole it, but ......" the young man shook his head. Zhao Gao's situation is already dangerous, how dare he use such a dangerous trick?
"What do you see, old man?"
Emperor Shi compared the two kinds of green paper, and asked Su Zhi again: "General Meng Tian can be in the Yongle Palace?"
"No, it is said that the soldiers and horses are being rectified on the royal court's side, so I only asked the people below to send sample paper. ”
"This guy. "Emperor Shi is also a little dissatisfied. No matter how vicious Zhao Gao is, at least he does a good job on the surface, and the sample paper is sent to Yongle Palace, all of which are done by Zhao Gao himself.
"If he is in the Yongle Palace, he can still make a statement. But if you're not there, hmph, it's a good thing that Zhao Gao didn't come. Otherwise, he will suffer this loss. ”
After thinking about it, Emperor Shi instructed Su Zhi: "Girl, you go to the front and take a look, and see what His Highness does." ”
When the little girl heard this, she had to go to the front hall again.
Ji Le and Xi Shi flipped through the green paper, and in the face of the green paper sent by Meng Tian, they were all spicy.
Xi Shi's finger swiped again, and the aura overflowed from the paper, but those aura was scattered and disappeared immediately.
"Although there are many aura, it is not as safe as Zhao Shi. Craft a talisman that is prone to explosions. ”
"Because the witches who Meng Tian is helping here have strong spell ability, they can suppress this aura explosion and focus on power. And Zhao Gao is mostly a witch there, and he cares more about safety. ”
After the two discussed, they felt that the Spirit Palace was still suitable for using Zhao's green paper.
"Then what should Your Highness do with these two kinds of paper?"
Ji Le thought for a while and said, "Go back and ask someone to clean up a room for Zhao Gao." In the end, it is the Huaxia lineage, and he can't be allowed to live in the firewood house all the time. ”
"That's it?" Yiguang hesitated, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”
"Serve the public, who will serve the public?" Ji Le sneered: "Zhao Fang and General Meng were originally fair competition. But these subordinates make their own decisions, even if General Meng Tian wins, how can they do it?"
With Meng Tian's character, if he knew that his subordinates had done this, he was half a head shorter in front of Zhao Gao, could he continue to be so aggressive?
"Quan Dang didn't know, so he said that Zhao Gao's sample paper was of better quality and more suitable for the Spirit Palace. After a pause, Ji Le regretted: "Meng Tian must not know about this matter." But Zhao Gao...... The thief of the country, this fang is clever. You clean up the house for him in the back, don't prepare the furnishings inside, let him add his own. Since there are such means, some trivial items will not be difficult for him. ”
Xi Shi is also smart, after all, many years of court experience are there, and he immediately woke up: "What does His Royal Highness mean, Mr. Zhao's technology leakage here is deliberate?"
"Yes, he's a smart man. But you must know that since ancient times, the people in the world of cholera have never been those who are stupid. ”
These smart people with ghosts in their hearts are the foundation of the cholera world.
Zhao Gao knew very well in his heart that even though he won Meng Tian in the ten-day covenant, he still couldn't convince the public in the end, and he had to be put on all kinds of small shoes by Meng Tian. Therefore, he must make Meng Tian feel deeply ashamed of his virtue and take the initiative to let himself go.
The royal court put pressure on him, suggesting that the people around him were targeting him, which Zhao Gao was happy to see. On the contrary, he took advantage of this to drive the workers on his side to alienate himself.
Then, under the criticism of the surrounding area, further pressure was put on the mechanics.
"If Zhao Gaozhen wins General Meng, then aren't we accomplices?"
In particular, Zhao Gao deliberately showed the appearance of being smashed and injured to the workers, which further made their hearts fluctuate.
Ji Le: "With Zhao Thief's means, if he wants to win people's hearts." It is completely possible to use this incident to draw the workers under him to his side. However, he did not, and on the contrary further forced the workers to have other thoughts. ”
"Those workers were worried about their reputation and worried that they would also be persecuted by the countrymen, so they secretly colluded with General Meng's subordinates to leak the technology that Mr. Zhao had studied?" Yiguang: "The two groups of workers were originally the original mechanics of the Nonggong, and they had a close relationship. Communicate privately without attracting the attention of others. ”
But Meng Tian mistakenly thought that it was the technology developed by his own craftsmen, and ordered them to make green paper. After the news came out again, Zhao Gao fell into a position of sympathy. Even if Meng Tian has an enmity with him, he will not continue to shout and kill when he loses his morality. ”
In this game, Zhao Gao won the game. is more scheming, Meng Tian is not qualified. Ji Le put away the bamboo paper: "That's it, turn around and let Zhao Gaoduo walk around the Golden Palace, but also be careful." ”
Ji Le Xishi guessed the whole story of this matter clearly, and Su Zhi, who was eavesdropping secretly, opened her mouth wide and was surprised: These adults' minds are so dark!
When her little girl, who was not yet an adult, heard Zhao Gao's arrangement, she left an indelible trace in her young heart.
In the whole matter, Zhao Gao didn't take the initiative to do anything at all. It's just that when the royal court spread the rumors against her, she suffered silently like a little daughter-in-law. Then he deliberately connived at his subordinates to steal technology, and no longer experimented as a precautionary measure. Put yourself in the position of a victim, and look like she is at the disposal of Ji Le.
"But even if we know Zhao Gao's actions, how can we guess his thoughts?" Ji Le sneered: "There is no evidence for this guy to eat the main hall, and in order to maintain the law of the Spirit Palace, he will take the initiative to protect his life, so he dares to deliberately show off his means." ”
"So, His Highness asked me to clean up his room, and hinted that he would be honest in the Spirit Palace?"
However, Zhao Gao, who can be honest, is not Zhao Gao.
"Let's take a look first, if you can be with Emperor Qin for so long, you must not be a mediocre person. Some things can still be used. ”
For example, the laws of the Qin Dynasty.
Even though Ji Le planned to revise it according to the national conditions of the Xia Kingdom, as long as the word "Qin Law" was stained, it would be greatly resisted by the people.
Because the Xia Kingdom is all descendants of the Han people and educated by the ancestors, the perception of the Qin Dynasty is that "the violent Qin is unpopular, so it loses the world".
So Ji Le needs a scapegoat, and after thinking about it, no one is more suitable than Zhao Gao.
When Su Zhi heard this, she saw that Xi Shi was about to clean up the room, and hurriedly ran to the back to report to the young man and Emperor Shi.
Hearing Ji Le's disposition, the young man shook the wine jug and poured himself full: "In the end, General Meng saved face." ”
Pretending not to know, just as a coincidence, according to the quality of the paper to determine Zhao style paper as the top grade, to save Zhao Gao's life. As for other things, I don't know at all.
Otherwise, the people under Meng Tian's subordinates secretly learned Zhao Gao's skills, and when outsiders saw it, they would naturally blame Meng Tian and mistakenly think that he had instructed him, damaging his reputation.
"Zhao Gao, worthy of the thief of the country. When Emperor Shi saw this result, he was highly vigilant in his heart.
Although he claimed that he didn't care about anything, he secretly paid close attention to Zhao Gao's words and deeds. Shi Huang clearly knew that Zhao Gao did not interfere in any way in this matter. Even he had little contact with the mechanics on his side.
But it is precisely like this, the final result is as Zhao Gao expected, and this person's scheming should not be underestimated.
"Zhao Gao is accurate about Meng Tian's character, as long as General Meng knows about this, his life will be saved. ”
"It was also Meng Tian who was sloppy and gave him this opportunity in vain. Why don't you know how to repent of the lessons of the past? Zhao Gao and his ilk, how can they not be more vigilant?" The young man drank it all in one gulp: "No wonder Dahao died under the false edict, it is a waste!"
He died on the sickbed, and he couldn't live if he wanted to, but Meng Tian was forced to kill by the edict, but he wasted his good life in vain. If you directly raise troops and set things right with Fusu, how good it would be!
"The laws of Great Qin are strict, and Fusu is trying to raise troops in vain, how can it be so easy?"
"Then you can't be stupid and wait for death. He is alive, and he may not be able to solve the end of the Qin Dynasty. But his death is even more worthless! What is the use of Qingshi calling Qu? Can people come back to life? Or can the Qin Dynasty be revived? Of course, after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, only then could I have the Han family in the world, and I have to thank them for this. ”
"What if it were you?"
The young man said as a matter of course: "Naturally, kill the puppet envoy, take the son Fusu to lead the troops into the court, and confront the parties concerned." ”
Cangjie: "......"
"What? Am I not right?"
Shi Huang's expression was complicated: "You have been here for so long, how can the prince not know?"
Suddenly, the young man was dumbfounded.
That's right, when his cousin encountered the witch curse, he immediately asked his aunt to borrow soldiers, but what was the result?
Seeing this incident from the history books, the young man also lost his temper, but so what?
The deceased has passed away, and the events of that year have only become a few words in history, and nothing else.
Here he casually commented on Meng Tian's events back then. Isn't it just a comment from the perspective of future generations? I can't really feel the sadness of that era, and I can't know the helplessness of several parties?
"Meng Tian......" Emperor Shi thought about it, but couldn't say anything: "Let's leave it like this for the time being." Ji Le is right, everyone is from various dynasties and places, and they have come together for the common goal of revitalizing Zhuxia, so let's take care of it more. ”
"But there is one thing, Meng Tian is enough to learn from it. ”
"The connection with the center cannot be severed, let alone fake others. Zhao Gaoxin can't let him occupy a high position in the Spirit Palace. You should be more careful in the future, and you must not listen to biased beliefs. For a period of time in the future, you have to follow Ji Le, so as not to make Zhao Gao crooked. ”
