Chapter 130: The Fallen Monarch
Zhang Liang looked at the anxious Zhao Gao, and there was a burst of joy in his heart. The other party is already acting at his own pace.
"Without further ado, the top priority should be to let Ziying ascend the throne as soon as possible."
Hearing Zhang Liang's suggestion, Zhao Gao showed a look of danger. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Ziying is different from ordinary people, although he is cowardly by nature, he has a slight mind. I'm afraid that he is afraid of the throne and refuses to be at the mercy of us and others to ascend the throne safely! ”
When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately said with a disgusted face: "This is your problem, Lord Zhao." You can't have a son when you get married. ”
Zhao Gao was very unhappy with Zhang Liang's attitude of not caring about himself. He looked at the other party coldly, and then looked at Yu Xi in Zhang Liang's arms, and said, "Zhang Situ, don't forget, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope now." If I die in the Qin Palace, then I guarantee that Miss Yu Xi will go before me!! ”
"You can't do anything else, do you? If you turn it over and over again, you will only use my poppy to blackmail me. Zhang Liang pretended to be annoyed, and looked very disdainful of Zhao Gao's threat.
Zhao Gao didn't care, just smiled and said, "Doesn't this also show that Zhang Situ is very affectionate and pities the jade!" ”
Zhang Liang gave a thumbs up to praise Zhao Gao's shameless words and deeds.
"It's all about this, then let's not go around in circles, you want me to convince Ziying, right?" Zhang Liang simply made his words clear, and no longer played any tricks with Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao also decided not to waste any more time, after all, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for him.
"Since Zhang Situ understands what I mean, then please move. As for Miss Yu Xi, you can rest assured, I will send a maid to take care of it properly. Never let people touch her. She will be here waiting for you to make your return. ”
Zhao Gao's promise is still a threat, and the implication of his words is that Zhang Liang's success or failure directly determines Yu Xi's life and death.
Zhang Liang gently stroked Yu Xi. He whispered to her, "You wait here, I'll come when I go." ”
Yu Xi hummed softly and nodded in response.
Shortly after Zhang Liang and Zhao Gao left, a maid walked into Yu Xi's room.
At first, Yu Xi didn't react, and waited until he saw the other party's face clearly. He shouted excitedly: "Why are you here......"
Zhang Liang was led by Zhao Gao to the palace where the child lived. After Zhao Gao motioned for Zhang Liang to enter, he stayed outside alone.
When Zhang Liang opened the door and entered the house, he immediately saw a handsome young man who was slightly immature sitting in the room. This young man is the son of Fusu, the child. And beside him, there were two sergeant guards, and it was obvious that this was done by Zhao Gao.
Seeing Zhang Liang entering, Ziying asked curiously, "Who are you?" Why trespass into my room? ”
The discourse is a question. But the tone is approachable, more like small talk.
Zhang Liang deliberately raised his voice, as if he wanted everyone outside to hear it, and replied: "The villain is here to implore Gongzi to ascend the throne." After he finished speaking, he immediately secretly signaled the other party to be cautious with his eyes.
Ziying was shocked when she heard this. How could this enthronement be said casually like child's play, and besides, he didn't know that Qin II was dead, and he still thought that Hu Hai was in power. Persuading him to ascend the throne is an out-and-out rebellion. He was about to reprimand the other party, but when he saw Zhang Liang's eyes, he immediately understood that something was wrong.
looked at Zhang Liang for a while. Ziying replied softly, "What do you mean by this? Don't talk about it. You need to know that Your Majesty is still in power, how can you make such a rebellious statement. I advise you to leave quickly. Don't talk about it again. As he spoke, he also signaled to Zhang Liang that he understood what he meant.
Zhang Liang is very satisfied with Ziying's performance. He then exited the house.
Zhao Gao was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two outside, and suddenly saw that Zhang Liang actually came out on his own. was about to step forward to ask the reason, but saw the other party's face full of anger.
"Lord Zhao, what do you mean? What does that mean exactly? You didn't tell Ziying that Qin II was dead. So let me go talk about a ball?! He thought I was a fool! ”
In the face of Zhang Liang's sudden reproach, Zhao Gao was a little uneasy. After a while, he slowly replied: "Zhang Situ, how can the death of Qin II be easily revealed. It's a big matter, and if you don't get it, I'll die! I just wanted you to make it clear to you. After all, Zhang Situ's lobbying skills. It's better than me. ”
Zhang Liang pretended to be embarrassed, pondered for a moment and replied, "Okay! Let me talk to him in detail. Let the defenders of the house come out, lest the news leak out. As long as he agrees, everything will be fine! ”
When Zhao Gao heard this, he urgently ordered the defenders in the house to come out. Then he instructed Zhang Liang: "Zhang Situ remember not to reveal his identity, just say that he is Mr. Zhang." lest the child be suspicious. ”
Zhang Liang nodded casually, and returned to the house again, this time it was just him and Ziying.
Ziying saw that the sergeant had left, and the other party went and returned, and hurriedly motioned for the other party to take a seat.
After Zhang Liang sat down, he said straight to the point: "Childe, I won't go around in circles!" Qin II has died, and Zhao Gaomi is not mourning. Now Zhao Gao intends to support you as the third generation. I was afraid that my son would not want to, so he sent me to lobby. ”
Seeing that the other party was so honest, Ziying asked curiously, "Who are you?" ”
"South Korea's Situ - Zhang Zifang!"
After listening to Zhang Liang's self-introduction, Ziying was relieved. I saw that he didn't have any shocked expression at the news of Qin II's death. It's like knowing it for a long time!
"Childe guessed that Qin II had died?" Seeing the other party's reaction, Zhang Liang asked tentatively.
Ziying didn't answer Zhang Liang's question, but asked calmly: "Can Zhang Situ tell me, how did Your Majesty die?" ”
Zhang Liang has a preliminary understanding of Ziying's mind. He didn't answer the rhetorical question, but he was actually testing Zhang Liang's details. Zhang Liang originally planned not to hide it, so he replied honestly: "I forced the second to confront Zhao Gao, but I didn't think that Zhao Gao would be better. II was forced to commit suicide. ”
Looking at Zhang Liang who was so frank, Ziying did not have any resentment and anger, but was surprisingly calm.
"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he wantonly killed his flesh and blood brothers and killed loyal ministers and good generals. I don't care about the world, and I pretend to be cowardly to get away with it. Later, when he heard that Zhao Gao was not dead, he had already guessed the ending of today. The first emperor was addicted to wine, and the government was secretly controlled by Zhao Gao through Li Cheng's hand. So death, it's only a matter of time. ”
Listening to everything analyzed by this young and old child, Zhang Liang felt that the other party was indeed a knowledgeable benevolent person. If the Qin Dynasty had been ruled by him earlier. Maybe it won't be the way it is.
"Since Zhao Gao killed the monarch and wants to push me as the emperor, what is his intention?" Ziying suddenly asked Zhang Liang.
"Zhao Gao wanted to lie afterwards that the second died violently, but I conspired for him and let him support Gongzi! Then let the prince surrender to the rebels with the dignity of the emperor. And put forward conditions. Keep yourself safe. ”
Ziying nodded slightly, and seemed to support this.
"The people of the world have suffered from my winning clan for a long time, and I am willing to do my best to wish this troubled world an early end. lest the living creatures be poisoned by the flames of war again. ”
Zhang Liang didn't expect Ziying to have such a mind, and he didn't seem to have much nostalgia for power and wealth. Zhang Liang repeatedly looked at the slightly immature teenager in front of him. His wisdom and virtue deeply attracted Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang wanted to thank him on behalf of the people of the world. But before Zhang Liang saluted, Ziying asked in a low voice: "Zhang Situ just said that you forced the first emperor to confront Zhao Gao, it seems that you have the heart to get rid of this traitor." I wonder if you can help me eradicate the catastrophe of this world?! ”
Ziying's request is in Zhang Liang's arms. His original plan was to let Ziying borrow the throne and then get rid of Zhao Gao. Because Zhao Gao is the biggest threat to the other party. It's just that in the face of such a sincere and kind child. Zhang Liang suddenly felt very despicable. He secretly made a decision, that is, to help Ziying and save his life.
"If Childe wants to get rid of Zhao Gao, he must be taken by surprise. The palace guards have been controlled by Zhao Gao, and it is not easy to bring him down. Therefore, he can only use the throne to wait for the opportunity to assassinate. ”
Hearing that the other party already had an idea, Ziying hurriedly asked: "Please Zhang Situ Mingyan, how can I assassinate Zhao Gao by surprise." ”
"Dare to ask Childe. What are the rites required to ascend the throne? "Zhang Liang tried to find an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Gao on the steps to ascend the throne." It is necessary to fast and bathe, burn incense and calm down after five people. Then go to the temple to worship the ancestors, so that they can be awarded the jade seal of the country, and then ascend to the throne. “
Zhang Liang thought about the links repeatedly, and then asked: "If the son doesn't go to the ancestral temple, will he still be able to ascend the throne?" ”
Ziying shook her head lightly and replied: "If you don't go to the temple, it won't be in line with the ceremony." It will be dissatisfied with the clan and courtiers. Even if you ascend the throne, you will be criticized. ”
"That son simply pretended to be sick after fasting, and Zhao Gao would definitely be anxious at that time, and wait until Zhao Gao came in person. Just wait for the opportunity to kill it! ”
Ziying admired Zhang Liang's method very much, but he then raised an objection: "Although this plan is good, there are still flaws. Thinking about Zhao Gao, the power in the palace is huge, even if you enter and leave my room, there will definitely be guards with you, how can you kill him closely. Besides, Zhao Gao will send an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him, and the flaws will be exposed at that time. ”
After listening to Ziying's words, Zhang Liang immediately felt that he was thinking too simply. Just when he was thinking hard about other methods, Ziying suddenly continued: "Zhang Situ doesn't have to work hard, I already have an idea." ”
Hearing that Ziying already had an idea, Zhang Liang hurriedly asked, "How does Childe plan to act?" ”
"I'll cut myself beforehand, and I'll do it for real. At that time, Zhao Gao sent the imperial doctor to treat me, and when he learned that I was really injured, he would naturally let down his vigilance. I took advantage of his slack and killed him. ”
As soon as Zhang Liang heard that Ziying did not hesitate to harm himself in order to kill Zhao Gao, he immediately had more reverence for him.
"Have you ever thought about it? If this matter is not handled properly, Childe will be killed. Zhang Liang was already worried about the safety of his child at this time, and even he didn't know why it was so.
Ziying only smiled slightly when she heard this, and then replied: "If I am willing to be his puppet of Zhao Gao, I may be able to survive or even live in a safe corner." But one of the people will continue to be persecuted. Instead of being a dead king who will be scolded by later generations, it is better to be an upright person. ”
Zhang Liang respectfully gave a big salute to Ziying! It's a sign of respect for the other person. After arriving in this world, there were not many people he respected, and even Emperor Qin only sympathized with him, but did not have respect. But today, he saw the light emanating from Ziying's body, if he could turn back time, he really wanted to help Ziying rule the Qin State. Unfortunately, this is just an unrealistic fantasy.
"Childe! After killing Zhao Gao, please be sure to flee Xianyang. Zhang Liang suddenly bowed down and said to Ziying.
Ziying looked at Zhang Liang, who gave a big gift to him, and then replied with a bitter smile: "Zhang Situ wants to tell me that he is afraid that my life will be difficult to save when the Japanese rebel army invades Xianyang, right?" ”
Zhang Liang didn't answer, but his silence was the best answer. "Although the world is big, it is terrible that it is difficult for me to have a place to stay. Besides, the sins of my winning clan will naturally have to be atonemented by the people of my winning clan. If I cannot escape death, I will use my death to atone for the sins of my ancestors. At the same time, the people of the world have a fair life. “
Zhang Liang looked at Ziying, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time. Zhang Liang never knew what kind of person could be called a benevolent monarch, but at this time, he was sure that if Ziying could rule the Qin State with his heart, he would definitely become a generation of benevolent monarchs. The only pity is that the giant wheel of history did not give him time, and soon he will be the benevolent monarch of the country...... (To be continued.) )
