Chapter 24: Zhao Gao's complaint
After coming out of the back mountain, Zhao Jun sent Li You and Bai Ying back to the Li Mansion, and invited a doctor to treat him, although Li You and Bai Ying did not blame Zhao Jun for this matter, but told him to be careful of Zhao Gao's revenge, but Zhao Jun has always felt guilty in his heart.
However, the matter has come to this point, and the guilt is useless, so I can only think that I will have the opportunity to compensate the two in the future.
On the outskirts of the city, in Zhao Jun's small courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on it at this time, covering the small courtyard with a golden veil, quiet and soft.
Zhao Jun and Mu Ning were both working on the stool in the courtyard at this time, their faces were a little calm, and the roaring dog was lazily prostrate on the ground, as if enjoying the light of the setting sun.
After a while, Mu Ning spoke: "Jun, although I killed Zhao Cheng and Yan Le, I am afraid that I will have a mortal enmity with Zhao Gao." ”
Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Mortal enemies are mortal enemies, there is no room for relaxation from the beginning of the feud, if we don't kill them, we really have no chance to clean up this time, as for Zhao Gao's revenge, as long as it does not involve the emperor, it will be enough to see the move." ”
Mu Ning also nodded after hearing this, thinking about it, anyway, from the beginning of killing Yingteng, Zhao and Zhao Gao have a grudge, and now it is just two more lives, and they can win a chance.
Of course, Zhao Gao will definitely retaliate, but in the final analysis, Zhao Jun occupies a rational word in this matter, and there is also a life and death situation in hand, plus this matter involves Li Si's son, it is not so easy for Zhao Gao to deal with Zhao Jun.
In the end, Zhao Jun said with a worried look on his face: "What I'm most worried about is that after killing Zhao Cheng, will the emperor let you be in charge of this purge operation, if someone else comes, our previous efforts will also be greatly reduced." ”
At present, no matter what, Zhao Jun is a person who belongs to the Black Ice Platform, and only when Mu Ning is in power, he can climb faster.
Mu Ning's face also turned gloomy after hearing this, in the end, it still depends on the emperor's decision, and the positions of the other three commanders are also vacant, who will the emperor send to take on it?
***
In the Beiling Hall of Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor was sitting in front of the black lacquered short-footed jade case to deal with court affairs, and suddenly, Zhao Gao walked in quickly in a robe, and then walked to the crane head bronze lamp and saluted to the First Emperor.
"The old slave greets His Majesty the Emperor."
The First Emperor frowned, and Zhao Gao's arrival interrupted his train of thought, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Gao was not such a reckless and rude person, and he was even more flattering to himself on weekdays.
Therefore, the First Emperor suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? ”
"I beg Your Majesty to be the master of the old slave." Suddenly, Zhao Gao was prostrate on the wooden floor and covered with a woolen blanket, and his mouth screamed sadly.
The First Emperor was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Get up and speak, what's the matter, why do you grieve so much?" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao bowed and stood up, and kept wiping his tears with his wide sleeved robe, and finally cried: "Your Majesty, the old slave is losing a brother and a son today, the old slave is sad in his heart, and he has no business."
"Zhao Cheng is dead? Tell me more carefully. "The First Emperor's face changed, Zhao Cheng is the leader of the Black Ice Terrace, and he is the person in charge of this clean-up mission, which is extraordinary.
And seeing that he is on his eastern tour and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are about to be cleared, if Zhao Cheng dies, it will be troublesome, who will be the vanguard?
Zhao Gao sobbed twice, and then said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, it's all to blame for Zhao Jun who killed a thousand knives, this person is actually bold enough to kill my brother Zhao Cheng, even my son-in-law Yan Le has not let go, and now my poor daughter is left." ”
"Zhao Jun? No, I know that Zhao Cheng is followed by a lot of people from the Black Ice Terrace, how could he, Zhao Jun, blatantly kill Zhao Cheng? The First Emperor instantly asked the key.
At this time, Zhao Gao explained sadly: "That's the case, because Zhao Jun failed to participate in the assessment on time, he went to the Lantian camp to make a fuss, and in desperation, my brother made a life and death relationship with Zhao Jun, and wanted to hold a life-and-death battle in the back mountain to determine whether Zhao Jun was qualified."
However, the Zhao Jun who killed a thousand knives was ruthless, and in the situation of winning the game, he insisted on not letting go of my brother and son-in-law, and drove them all away. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Gao burst into tears again, looking extremely sad.
"Zhao Jun is so excessive?" The First Emperor was angry at first, and finally said to Zhao Gao: "However, they have fought to the death and are fair contests, which is not easy for me to deal with." ”
Just as the First Emperor was pondering, suddenly a shout sounded outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Si asks to see Your Majesty." ”
"Announce him in." The First Emperor was hesitating, when Li Si came just in time to give him a reprieve time.
Li Si was dressed in a black official robe, wearing an iron jade crown, and walked up to the hall with a calm face, and saluted: "Minister Li Si, please see Your Majesty." ”
The First Emperor raised his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Get up, you have come just in time, I just have an unresolved matter, and you can also refer to it in detail." ”
Li Si is one of the most trusted ministers of the First Emperor, so the First Emperor is very generous to Li Si, and among the various decrees held by the First Emperor after the unification of the world, there is no shortage of Li Si, and the First Emperor promoted him from the court lieutenant to the position of prime minister.
"Your Majesty, please." Li Si said unhurriedly.
So the First Emperor probably told Li Si what Zhao Gao said.
After hearing this, Li Si said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also here for this matter today. ”
"You're doing that too?" The First Emperor looked at Li Si in disbelief, how could a small Zhao Jun implicate so many people.
Li Si nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, because the minister's sons Li You and Bai Ying were seriously injured because of this, and they are still recuperating in bed, but what the minister heard may be a little different from what Zhao Fuling said." ”
"Li You and Bai Ying were also seriously injured?" The First Emperor was suspicious, he had seen the martial arts of the two, how could he be easily seriously injured in Xianyang.
At this time, Zhao Gao asked Li Si: "Dare to ask the Prime Minister, where is the difference?" ”
Li Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty, according to what Weichen heard, this Zhao Jun was dissatisfied and went to Zhao Cheng because he was not notified during the assessment.
Later, in the competition in the back mountain, it was Zhao Cheng and Yan Le who first proposed to sign the life and death certificate, and later in the battle, Zhao Cheng had fifty people, and Zhao Jun was only three people with Dog Zi and White Shadow.
Moreover, Zhao Cheng also used three bed crossbows, and introduced the three of them into the mountain road, thinking that the three of them were dead, and in the end, Zhao Jun had no choice but to fight back. ”
"Prime Minister Li, did you deliberately favor your son because he was seriously injured, besides, even if my brother Zhao Cheng is like this, but Zhao Jun will not be killed in the end, you say a word of conscience, is the death of my brother and son-in-law in vain?" Zhao Gao immediately counterattacked after hearing this, with a tragic roar.
Li Si smiled and said: "First of all, Lord Zhao, I understand and sympathize with your grief very much, because my son almost died, but since he signed the life and death certificate, it is not a child's play, besides, the sword and gun have no eyes, in that situation, how do you know that it was not Zhao Jun who had no choice but to kill them?" ”
"You?" Zhao Gao glared angrily, with a look of grief and indignation, as if he was speechless in anger.
In the end, the First Emperor said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't quarrel, Zhao Jun is no wonder for the death of the two this time, since Zhao Jun agreed with Zhao Cheng first, he should participate in this clean-up operation."
Zhao Gao, I can also understand your grief, so let's do it, I am giving you ten concubines to work hard to have children to prosper the family, and compensate the daughter Yan Le's family to be exempted, and I will allow you half a month to bury the two of you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, please accept it." At this point, Zhao Gao also knew that it was useless to talk more, so he withdrew from the main hall.
And after leaving the Xianyang Palace, Zhao Gao went directly to the outer house, at this time the house was sad and mournful, hanging plain white artemisia all over, and there was an endless stream of people who came and went to comfort the deceased, all of them were black clothes with white filial piety, and there were two coffins in the main hall, which were the dead Zhao Cheng and Yan Le.
The current burial customs of the deceased are different according to different titles, such as Zhao Cheng and Yan Le, they have to advocate for seven days, and their families and neighbors can only be buried after they have come to give gifts.
Zhao Gao's sadness at this time was definitely not pretended, but it was more of an unforgettable hatred for Zhao Jun.
Entering the mansion, Zhao Gao went all the way back to the inner hall, and saw his daughter who was dressed in white clothes and looked sad and haggard.
"Dad, what should we do, woo, my husband." As soon as Zhao Miao saw Zhao Gao coming, she exclaimed sadly, her appearance was not bad, and she was even quite outstanding, but when she thought that she would be widowed in the future, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Zhao Gaozheng was sad and angry, and when he heard his daughter like this, he couldn't help but scold: "Crying, crying, crying, you know crying, your husband is dead but you don't want to take revenge, how can you be worthy of being a wife." ”
"Revenge, yes, I want revenge, by the way, father, didn't you go to Xianyang Palace today to ask the emperor? How about it, did you say that Zhao Jun was going to be executed. Zhao Miao was already flustered, and at this time, she couldn't help but say anxiously when she heard her father's words.
Zhao Gao closed his eyes, shook his head painfully, and said: "I have already guessed this result, how can the emperor be a person who can fool, plus there is Li Si who is making trouble." ”
Zhao Miao was stunned: "How can my father pay it back?"
Zhao Gao snorted coldly and said: "This is just to win the emperor's mercy, and by the way, to prepare for dealing with Zhao Jun in the future, of course, the main thing is to see the emperor's attitude towards the remnants of this purging and suppression, who is the commander, now it seems that the emperor is still hesitating, we still have a chance, the black ice platform must not let Mu Ning, a little slut, master, Zhao Jun is her lover, if she becomes big in the future, there will be endless troubles." ”
"Then what can Father do?" Zhao Miao was stunned and asked.
Zhao Gao's eyes flashed and said: "When I came back from the palace, I got a message that tomorrow the emperor will have a banquet for Mrs. Qing, and you will pretend to be a palace maid tomorrow to go to the Shangshi Palace, and then wait for the opportunity to put this medicine into the white fungus lotus seed porridge, which has always been Mrs. Qing's favorite."
Don't worry, I'll take care of all the personnel, and I'm not worried about leaving this matter to someone else, you'll be different, and even if something happens, others won't suspect you at this time, and I'll clear up the suspicion. ”
Zhao Miao looked at the packet of medicine that Zhao Gao took out, and suddenly changed her face and said in shock: "This is Father Chun, Mrs. Qing's status is noble, and it is a serious crime to find out about extermination." ”
Zhao Gao couldn't help but scolded coldly: "What are you afraid of, you just do what I say, there is absolutely no danger, when the time comes, I will ask Your Majesty to leave the palace, and arrange some coincidences to let Your Majesty find out, then Mrs. Qing's reputation will inevitably be lost, and Your Majesty will be furious."
And once the time comes, who will investigate it carefully. Don't you want to avenge your uncle and husband? ”
Zhao Miao was scolded by Zhao Gao, and suddenly became excited, and finally said: "But, father, what does the murder of Mrs. Qing have to do with Mu Ning's mastery of the Black Ice Platform?" Moreover, it was Zhao Jun who killed his husband and uncle, why didn't he get rid of Zhao Jun first. ”
"Idiot!" Zhao Gao snorted coldly and said: "Think about it, why does Mu Ning, a little slut, have been as stable as Mount Tai on the Black Ice Terrace, it is not her mother's reason, as long as her mother's disgrace makes His Majesty jealous, whether Mu Ning can survive or not is a question, and how to participate in this operation, it is even more impossible to serve as the master of the Black Ice Terrace, and Zhao Jun has no one to rely on."
As for Zhao Jun, it is not too late to deal with it in the future, if he has a case now, His Majesty will definitely suspect us, and with Mu Ning's mother and daughter, it is not easy to get rid of him. ”
After listening carefully, Zhao Miao understood Zhao Gao's hard work, and immediately said firmly: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely avenge my uncle and husband!" ”
Nodding, after Zhao Miao went out, Zhao Gao looked out the window, and suddenly his eyes flashed with extreme hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Jun, if you kill my apprentice, kill my brother and son-in-law, I will definitely let you die a good death!" ”
