Zhao Gao died, angered the emperor because of his greed for huge amounts of money and fornication with the palace maid, and the emperor sent Zhao Jun to arrest people, but Zhao Gao resisted and was executed on the spot, and an order was issued to arrest Zhao Gao's children, Zhao Fu and Zhao Miao.

This incident can be said to have shaken the government and the opposition, who is Zhao Gao, the first confidant of the first emperor, and the first official of Xianyang, but without warning, he was exterminated overnight.

Also, it is worth mentioning that a fire broke out in the west of the suburbs that night, burning down several houses, provoking the Xianyang three armies, but this incident is insignificant compared to Zhao Gao's death.

However, there are some well-informed and wise people in the court, but they guessed that this matter is unusual, far from being as simple as it seems, everyone knows that Zhao Gao has become a eunuch since Bolangsha, such as fornicating with the palace maid? And the fire on the outskirts of the city is just a trivial matter, and it is enough to have the captain's army come forward, but why did the lieutenant army and the guard lieutenant appear?

However, these doubts are only limited to speculation, and the facts can never be found without knowing the inside information, and no one dares to make a big deal out of Qin Lu.

In addition, it is about the reward of Zhao Jun and others, the original travel task was a total of 250 ordinary people, including 50 people who were killed in battle and seriously injured, and the rewards of these people were all five times the reward calculated according to the Qin military merits, that is, to kill one person to make five people, in addition, the first emperor also generously rewarded gold, cloth and other things, and the war dead and seriously injured were especially favored, which can be described as convincing.

Of course, the most eye-catching is the reward of Zhao Jun, Li You, Bai Ying, and Gongzi Gao, Li Youjue to the twelfth-level left watch, and was asked by Li Si to the emperor to recommend the position of Sanchuan County Guard, the bounty is one thousand taels, the white shadow is to the twelfth-level left watch, and he is the leader of the Black Ice Stage, and the son of the high lord is the twelfth-level left watch, and he is appointed to the position of the head of the Black Ice Stage.

Finally, there is Zhao Jun, his reward is the most amazing, Jue to the Qin Army's 20-level military merit is the highest, 20-level Che Marquis, he recruited 30,000 people in Linzi, and formed another army, and named him the commander of Linzi.

Since then, Zhao Jun can be said to have ascended to the sky in one step, and now the commanders of the Qin Dynasty are all the confidants of the first emperor before the pacification of the world.

Xianyang City, Li Si's mansion, in the small island in the middle of the lake, Li Si stood in the study, looking at Li Youdao with satisfaction: "Hehe, if you are not careful, my son will grow up and become a feudal official in the future." ”

Li You said: "It is still the father's teaching, and the father's help in the court, that the child has today's future." ”

"Well, speaking of which, I really have to envy Zhao Jun's good luck." Li Si said with some emotion, and then said solemnly: "You'er, you tell your father, what happened that night, why was Zhao Gao suddenly executed?" ”

Li You's face was stunned after hearing this, and he hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered in a whisper.

Li Si didn't react for a long time with a shocked face after hearing this, and said in disbelief until the end: "Zhao Gao is actually the Zhao royal family, no wonder, no wonder Your Majesty fulfilled his promise, and when he named him Hou, he directly skipped the nineteenth-level Guan Neihou, it seems that this is secretly compensating for his finding out Zhao Gao." ”

Li You nodded and said: "That's true, when we attacked the mansion on the outskirts of the west of the city that night, we found a lot of things about the Zhao royal family, and there were also many books with Zhao Gao's personal recommendation, including the spiritual position of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, but the emperor issued a gag order on this, strictly prohibiting anyone from spreading it, otherwise it would be a felony of the nine clans." ”

After hearing this, Li Si sighed and said: "My father understands, this is the fact that the emperor can't accept being betrayed, and at the same time, he doesn't want to bear an unknown reputation." Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, son, your future official is high, but before doing things, you must figure out the mind of the Qing Sheng before acting, just like Zhao Jun, outsiders see that he is now infinitely eager to climb, but you have to understand that the emperor is not too satisfied with him, so you can have a personal relationship, but you can't be vague in major matters. ”

"Not satisfied? How could it be, not to mention that he saved and pacified the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, just finding out the scourge of Zhao Gao is a great credit. Li You said stunned.

"Hmph, the bad is on Zhao Gao." Li Si snorted coldly, and seeing that Li You still didn't understand, he helplessly explained: "Your Majesty is extremely conceited and arrogant, how can you tolerate the betrayal of others and your own reputation for unknown employment, besides, Zhao Gao and Your Majesty have had a relationship for many years, Zhao Jun took matters into his own hands before His Majesty knew it, and killed Zhao Gao first, forcing the emperor to a passive position, how could the emperor be happy."

If he can first show His Majesty, give His Majesty time to accept, and then listen to His Majesty's command, give the greatest credit to His Majesty, and let His Majesty's wisdom and divine martial arts destroy Zhao Gao, then he Zhao Jun will receive His Majesty's greatest gift. ”

Li You was stunned after hearing this, "This is also my father's guess, I was saying that in that situation at that time, if Brother Zhao didn't deal with it decisively, it was very likely that Zhao Gao would slip away." ”

"Hey, yes, you can't have both, I take it for granted." Li Si sighed, and finally said to Li You: "But you also remember, this is not my father's speculation, but the truth."

At the beginning, the four poles of Fusu Shangshu locked the sky, but His Majesty took a fancy to it, and it was indeed a good way to deter the world, and finally it was set by His Majesty the Emperor as one of the major national policies, such a major national policy, shouldn't it be taken seriously.

However, if you think about it, how did the emperor reward Zhao Jun to recruit 30,000 men by himself, and did not mention the replacement of the Linzi County Guard, so that Zhao Jun would monopolize military and political affairs, just a garrison commander, and even some other material and financial support promises, what did the local officials in Linzi think of him?

Also, Zhao Jun pacified the remnants of the six countries in the world and won the merit, but also offended the old people of the six countries, once he arrived in Linzi, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recruit soldiers and horses, and the local gentry and people will hate him even more, so how can he stabilize the position of the commander of Linzi? ”

Li You listened and thought at the same time, until he finally realized it.

"Then father, should I remind Brother Zhao, regardless of our personal relationship, even Brother Zhao's ability will definitely not be in the pool in the future, or it may be beneficial to my Li family." Li You finally said.

"Hehe, I don't need you to remind him, with the wit and talent shown by Zhao Jun, I'm afraid I thought of it in the matter, but as my father said, how can you have both fish and bear's paws, and you don't forget that he also has a sister of the Mo family and the mother-in-law of the richest businessman in the world, plus the Wang family and the Meng family are at the helm of the court, he can still get through this difficulty, but well, it is not easy to send charcoal in the snow, you can walk around with him more before going to Sanchuan County, or you can also exchange more letters when you go to Sanchuan Group to deepen your feelings, Zhao Jun is indeed not a thing in the pool. ”

"Yes, father, the child understands." Li You nodded respectfully.

Early in the morning, outside Xianyang City, Zhao Jun was riding a horse to the Tingfeng Courtyard, after Zhao Gao's affairs were dealt with that day, Zhao Jun sent Zhao Ling to the Tingfeng Courtyard, on the one hand, it is safer here, on the other hand, the environment here is quiet and suitable for recuperation, it is better than filling babies in his own house and Tang Li and Cao Wuxian are always dancing with guns and sticks.

Zhao Jun is now the uncle of the Mu family, and when the slaves at the foot of the mountain heard that Zhao Jun was coming, they hurriedly greeted them, and finally Zhao Jun handed over the horses to them and walked to the backyard by himself.

In the backyard garden, Mu Ning and Zhao Ling were chatting cordially.

"It turns out that you have experienced so many things together, I really envy you." Zhao Ling's aura was calm and dusty, so that he could talk to Mu Ning very well.

Mu Ning smiled and said: "I still envy you and Zhao Jun's childhood sweetheart, and if you hadn't escaped from the mausoleum with her, I wouldn't have met him, don't you know, after he returned to the barracks, he was very anxious to hear that you were robbed, and asked me to check your traces, be with him, and listen to him mention you from time to time." ”

"Really? Hehe. Zhao Ling smiled a little happily, but then said with a somewhat lost look: "He just thought I was the stupid sister back then." ”

Mu Ning looked stunned after hearing this, and then it was a little complicated, but in the end he said: "You and him are not biological brothers and sisters, since you like him, why don't you say it directly, if you don't dare, I'll say it for you, Zhao Jun, this bastard is really an idiot." ”

"Don't" Zhao Ling lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

At this moment, Zhao Jun happened to come, and when he saw Mu Ning, he was stunned, and Mu Ning also came back.

"You're back?" Zhao Jun didn't expect Mu Ning to come back so quickly.

Mu Ning snorted coldly: "Why, you're not happy when I come back, are you seducing someone again." ”

"No," Zhao Jun was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Mu Ning remembered that Zhao Ling was still beside him, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I came back in a hurry this time, not because of Zhao Gao's incident, but now that Bai Ying and Gongzi Gao have just come in, I will send them to want Zhao Fu and Zhao Miao." ”

"I see." Nodding, Zhao Jun walked in again Zhao Ling took her hand and said gently: "Ling'er, is it better, come and let me see." ”

Saying that, Zhao Jun was about to check the wounds on Zhao Ling's body, Zhao Ling's face turned red, glanced at Mu Ning next to him, and said a little shyly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Zhao Jun was just habitual, thinking that the two of them still slept together every day back then, so he subconsciously regarded Zhao Ling as a child.

After thinking that something was wrong, Zhao Jun let go of his hand and said: "You can recuperate here with peace of mind, I will wait for a while before I go to Linzi, and then we will go together." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Ling nodded, with a sweet meaning on her face, but then she remembered Zhao Jun's life experience and said, "Brother, have your biological parents found out?" ”

"Not yet." Zhao Jun subconsciously touched the ink jade on his chest, this jade pendant began to be taken away by Xiang Yu in Xianyang Palace, and later found it back when he checked Xiang Yu's residence in Wu County, it may have been left by Xiang Yu in a hurry.

Mu Ning also said at this time: "I also looked through some palace records, but because the Qin State clan has always been strict about the affairs of the clan, coupled with His Majesty's intervention, I haven't found any clues about Zhao Jun's life history." ”

Zhao Jun smiled quite freely and said: "This doesn't matter, don't bother, after so many years, maybe my biological parents are dead." ”

"I heard that this time in Zhao Gao's matter, the emperor is a little dissatisfied with you." Then Mu Ning asked again.

Zhao Jun smiled bitterly: "Well, the emperor felt that he was used by me as a marionette once, and he did not show his wisdom and martial arts. ”

Mu Ning snorted coldly: "The emperor is always so conceited, he has no heart at all. ”

Zhao Jun shook his head helplessly, he was so happy and loved fame, almost every emperor couldn't avoid it, but this made him suffer, he could have been in charge of 30,000 elite soldiers, but he didn't expect to go to the post with a bare pole, and he relied on himself to recruit him.

At noon, Zhao Jun stayed in Tingfeng Courtyard for a meal, and Mrs. Qing was not in Tingfeng Courtyard because she had something.

Just after lunch, Xiong Le suddenly came in a hurry.

"My lord, Your Majesty has an edict to send you to the palace quickly."

"Pass me into the palace, what can you do if you recruit me into the palace at this time?" Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this.

Mu Ning was puzzled: "Could it be about the Linzi camp, the emperor is going to send troops and horses to you?" ”

"Probably not." Zhao Jun shook his head, and then left, he couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, so he could only hurry into the palace.
