Meng Yi pondered for a moment before he said, "Zhao Gao is a person who is extremely deep in the city. Whenever I approach this person, I always feel like he is like a cold poisonous snake, entrenched around me, and you don't know when he will suddenly burst out and bite you hard. At the mention of Zhao Gao, Meng Yi frowned, and almost after thinking about his words for a while before he really began to speak. After summing it up, Meng Yi continued: "Qin and Zhao have the same origin, and it is said that Zhao Gao and the emperor still have some blood relationship. Zhao Gao's father once committed a major crime in the Qin State and was sentenced to punishment, so as soon as Zhao Gao was born, he was guilty of a crime. ”

When Meng Yi introduced Zhao Gao, he told it in detail, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Zhao Gao. "Zhao Gao has three brothers, except for the third brother Zhao Wen, who died of illness a few years ago, the second brother Zhao Cheng, and the fourth brother Zhao Hai are now officials in Xianyang, and even his son-in-law Yan Le is on an errand in the court, which can be described as a glory."

"Son-in-law?!" Chen Sheng's face twitched fiercely, and he asked puzzledly: "Isn't Zhao Gao a eunuch, how can he have a son-in-law?" ”

"Eunuch?" Meng Yi looked at Chen Sheng with a strange expression, and said strangely: "Who told you that he was a eunuch?" He's just working on an errand in the palace! Not only has a son-in-law, but he also has a son, Zhao Chengen, who is five years old this year. ”

Chen Sheng took a deep breath. The TV history he watched in that world, Zhao Gao was the image of a eunuch, how could Zhao Gao be a man in this Great Qin Empire?

Is the world wrong, or is there something wrong with history itself? Chen Sheng's mind was a little confused. However, after thinking about it, Chen Sheng didn't put too much thought here, prevaricated a few words about Meng Yi, and let Meng Yi continue.

After listening to Meng Yi's speech, Chen Sheng knew that most of his understanding of Zhao Gao was wrong. Sure enough, it's better to believe in books than to have no books! Chen Sheng sighed in his heart.

Zhao Gao has the blood of the royal family of Zhao and Qin, because the family is involved in the crime of rebellion in Qin, so the family is in the middle, and Zhao Gao was already born with a sinful body. But fortunately, the laws of the Qin State are strict at the same time, but also as much as possible to maintain justice, although it is a guilty body, but Zhao Gao can still be well educated in the hidden palace of the royal family, the talented and intelligent Zhao Gao, at a young age played a great talent, so he was selected as a companion, sent to Zhao State to be a playmate of Ying Zheng, who was still a hostage in Zhao State, and became one of the earliest people who appeared around the emperor when he was a child. Accompanied the emperor through the darkest time.

Later, after returning to Qin, the emperor endured a series of life-and-death power battles in the palace, and Zhao Gao also experienced many tests, starting from a schoolboy in the Taishi Museum, and slowly became a rookie. For decades, Zhao Gao behaved decently in front of the emperor and won the emperor's respect. In some ways, even Meng Yi's brother was not as trusted by the emperor as Zhao Gao. In front of the minister, Zhao Gao is also very kind, a group of harmony, and among the government and the opposition, Zhao Gao has a good evaluation.

But Meng Yi was extremely wary of Zhao Gao. This may come from Meng Yi's intuition, or it can be said that Meng Yi's sense of danger. He always felt that Zhao Gao had bad intentions towards the emperor, but Zhao Gao's usual performance made him unable to catch any tricks.

Until this time. This time, the country's folk grain and grass were snapped up by the remnants of the six countries, which made Meng Yi suspicious of Zhao Gao. Among the courts, in addition to the emperor and Prime Minister Li Si, the most likely person who can know the latest moves of the imperial court is Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao and the emperor were almost inseparable. Therefore, he can be very familiar with many policies that have not yet been issued in the imperial court. After the grain purchase case, Meng Yi began to suspect Zhao Gao. Because he knows very well that Prime Minister Li Si will never do such a foolish thing. Li Si has the power of the world, the family is prosperous, doing such a thing, the risk is too high, and the benefits are not equal at all, once the emperor raids the family and exterminates the family, even if he succeeds, the status may not be as high as it is now. That is, Lees has no motive.

Li Si had no motive, but Meng Yi was not sure that Zhao Gao had it. Although Zhao Gao was connected by Qin Fa, this hatred was enough to offset with the emperor's favor for his Zhao family, although Zhao Gao was not as proud as Li Si now, but he was only a lot more trusted by the emperor than Li Si, and there was really no reason to commit a crime.

Because of this, when writing the cantata, Meng Yi skillfully avoided all the objects of suspicion, but objectively expounded the doubts and handed them over to the emperor to deal with. With the emperor's shrewdness, he was naturally able to understand what he wanted to express.

The emperor really took some action against his twists and turns, but the strength and effect made Meng Yi very disappointed. Without evidence, it is impossible for the emperor to convict Zhao Gao with such a little information. only found an excuse, punished Zhao Gao with a few innocuous words, and took the opportunity to beat Li Si by the way. It can be said that Li Si "carried" the black pot for Zhao Gao.

Regarding the emperor's behavior, Meng Yi was dissatisfied with it. But as a courtier, he knew better that the emperor should not be blamed for his decisions. He couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, and he didn't want to guess too thoroughly.

Chen Sheng listened carefully to Meng Yi's comments on Zhao Gao, and also groaned. He knows very well what kind of character Zhao Gao is, but he knows even better, I am afraid that it will be a long time before he has the opportunity and qualifications to face Zhao Gao and Li Si, the pinnacles of this era.

After chatting for a while, Meng Yi put the topic back to the personnel appointment of Minzhong County. He knocked on the desk, smiled mysteriously, and said, "The emperor's arrangement for Minzhong County is very interesting. ”

"How?" Seeing the evil smile on Meng Yi's face, Chen Sheng chuckled in his heart. For the candidates for important positions in the county this time, Meng Yi has already made a rough division. Chen Sheng already knew the origin and background of these people.

"You'll find out later." Meng Yi didn't want to say much here, but after he pondered for a while, he said indiscriminately: "The emperor is sharpening his sword. ”

Hearing this, Chen Sheng smiled bitterly.

As soon as Meng Yi's words came out, Chen Sheng still didn't understand the truth. Ying Huo, Li Shen and himself all belong to the young Zhuang faction of the empire, and they belong to the future pillars of the imperial court, and the emperor put the three of them together, and the purpose is by no means simple. In particular, before the appearance of the character of Chen Sheng, these two people were both popular candidates recommended by the imperial historians to be the county guards of Minzhong County. The possibility of a few people making do with each other and being able to live in peace and stability is really not ordinarily low.
