Zhao Gao returned to the tent, took off his cloak, and handed it to the little eunuch beside him.

Lying on the chair and breathing a sigh of relief, the two little eunuchs who were waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to massage and rub his shoulders.

The originally sore shoulders and back relaxed for a while, and Zhao Gao, who was lying on the chair, couldn't help but hum comfortably, and lay down on the chair with his eyes closed, thinking while enjoying it.

Today, His Majesty's condition actually improved a little, he woke up in the morning, and summoned Li Si and Meng Yi to inquire about government affairs. Although he is still extremely weak, he has greatly improved from the previous days.

Zhao Gao couldn't help but have doubts, if he saw His Majesty's condition improve the day before yesterday, he would definitely be overjoyed. But yesterday's words awakened the ambition that had been dormant in his heart for a long time, like a moisturized seed, rapidly expanding, filling his entire heart, and he couldn't control it anymore.

Fortunately, after Zhao Gao asked the imperial doctor who had been bought by him with a lot of money, he learned that His Majesty's illness had been terminally ill for a long time, and the medicine stone had no power to return to heaven, and now he was only relying on medicine to maintain his life.

Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief.

If the arrow is shot out of the bow, there is no reason to turn back. Since you have done it, you must do it to the end.

Zhao Gao opened his eyes fiercely, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He had already learned from the Imperial Physician that His Majesty's body would only last for less than a month at most, and he had to prepare early.

First of all, Meng Yi must be transferred, with him by His Majesty's side, Zhao Gao will never be able to do anything.

How can Meng Yi be transferred? Zhao Gao pondered in his heart, but felt that it was very difficult. Meng Yi was not stupid, unless there was a reason why he had to leave, he would never leave when the First Emperor needed his loyalty to protect him the most.

Zhao Gao knocked on the door of his head with his finger with some annoyance, and he couldn't help it for a while, so he had to put it down first.

looked up and asked the little eunuch who was kneading beside him; "Do you have any official documents to approve today?"

After the first emperor was old, he gradually became unable to handle government affairs, and saw that Zhao Gao had always been respectful and clever, and that the approval of official documents was also clear and eye-catching, which was very much in line with his heart, so he handed over the post of Zhu Pi to him, so Zhao Gao would have this question.

The little eunuch stopped his hand and said respectfully in a small voice: "Your Excellency, the court lieutenant came to Lujiang County with the report to suppress the unfavorable Gao, let Xiong Xin, the grandson of the late King of Chu Huai, escape, and also lost more than 300 soldiers, General Meng Yi asked His Majesty to execute him for dereliction of duty in accordance with the law. ”

After speaking, the little eunuch handed over the bamboo slips that had already been placed beside him.

Zhao Gao took it, looked at it carefully, and secretly estimated in his heart: It seems that Meng Yi wants to kill Gao Rou, this is an opportunity. You might as well save his life, he will definitely be grateful to himself and swear allegiance to him.

In the past ten years, although Zhao Gao has won the trust of the First Emperor and has no one in the powerful court, he has a fatal flaw.

Compared with the Montessori brothers, his roots are too shallow and too thin. His power was completely dependent on the majesty of the First Emperor, and without the emperor's permission, Zhao Gao would not even be able to leave Xianyang Palace. In contrast, the Montessori brothers are a three-member general, with extremely high prestige in the army, and they control the most elite Northern Army and the most core Yulinwei of Great Qin respectively.

Therefore, Zhao Gao has been working hard to cultivate his forces outside the palace in the past few years, and he has tried his best to win over anyone who has gaps with Fusu Gongzi and the Montessori brothers. Of course, he will not miss such a good opportunity.

With a decision in his heart, he carefully drew a red circle at the end of the bamboo slip with a pen, and carefully wrote five words next to the red circle: Send it to the Tingwei Mansion for discussion.

Sent to Xianyang to be approved by Tingwei Wei Wan, this back and forth will take at least a month and a half, and then do something to make the guards who deliver the letter deliberately slow down, so that it can drag on for three months, enough for a lot of things to happen.

And the wonderful thing is that Zhao Gao's reply is reasonable and does not violate the laws of Qin, so Li Si and Meng Yi will not object. Zhao Gao has been immersed in Qin Law for decades, and he is naturally very familiar with the small actions of these sword and pen officials.

Carefully drying the ink on the bamboo slips, Zhao Gao put the bamboo slips away with satisfaction, handed them over to the little eunuch on the side to put them away and keep them in the middle to be sent to Xianyang, waiting for them to be sent to Li Si for approval tomorrow morning. He also sent people to Lujiang County overnight to find Gao Rou and told him that Zhao Gao had saved his life.

I also reviewed some official documents sent by Xianyang, all of which were inconsequential matters, and Zhao Gao hastily read the approval.

After waiting for all the official documents, Zhao Gao felt a little tired, so he got up and wanted to rest. But seeing that Zhang Wen, the always clever little eunuch on the side, had a hesitant look on his face, and he stopped talking, his face sank and he asked; "What else?"

Zhang Wen hurriedly bowed and said; "My lord, Wucheng Dahao Yu Qi has been waiting outside the tent for two hours, this is a gift from him."

After speaking, he handed over a seemingly ordinary wooden box. Zhao Gao took it, only to feel that his hand sank, and he glanced at Zhang Wen, thinking that he didn't know how much benefit this little cub had received from that person, and he spoke for that person so hard.

When he opened the box, Zhao Gao was stunned and couldn't help but gasp. I saw that the box was full of rare treasures, and there were more than ten pearls in the light night, flashing softly in the dim light.

Although Zhao Gao is extremely powerful and has seen a lot of rare treasures, he can't help but be stunned this time; What a big deal.

Closing the wooden box, Zhao Gao's face returned to normal, looked at Zhang Wen and said; "Bring him up."

"You're Yu Qi." Zhao Gao looked up and down at the visitor, and saw that although he had passed the age of not being confused, he was still dignified, and his eyebrows were full of light, and it was not difficult to see that he was a very outstanding beautiful man when he was young.

Zhao Gao saw that he was very respectful to himself, his demeanor was calm, and he didn't look pretentious, so he had a little appreciation in his heart.

Yu Qi arched his hand and smiled; "It was here that I saw Lord CRRC Fuling."

Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction, compared to 'Manager Zhao, Lord Zhao', he preferred others to call him Lord of the CRRC Mansion. Although this is just a fictitious position set up for him by His Majesty, in order to facilitate his handling of official documents, his status is elevated, and his rank is equivalent to Jiuqing.

Eunuchs actually have a mentality, that is, they want others to treat him as a normal person, and a 'Lord Zhongche Fu Ling' made Zhao Gao have a good impression of this knowledgeable and interesting Yu Qi.

"Duke Yu, please take a seat." Zhao Gao waved his hand and motioned for Yu Qi to sit down, and the title also changed to 'Yu Gong'. After seeing Yu Qi Xie sit down, he asked with a smile:

"I don't know what happened to Duke Yu asking to see this official, you must know that this official wears many hats, but he is busy and has very little leisure time."

Yu Qi hurriedly bowed his hand; "I know that the CRRC government is busy with official business, and it is really presumptuous to disturb it. That's why I waited outside the tent and asked to see the adults when they had time. ”

Zhao Gao smiled, his laughter was a little feminine, which made people listen to it very harshly, but Yu Qi still looked respectful and looked as usual.

"Say, Duke Yu has something to ask the official to help with."

"There are three children in the lower clan, and they usually play badly because of their neglect of discipline. During his travels, he passed through Huaiyin City in Donghai County, and had a fight with the county lieutenant of Huaiyin County, and killed the county lieutenant by mistake in the battle. Such a stubborn person should have been personally bound to give it to the adults. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Qi originally had an extremely angry expression, but suddenly his face was sad again; "It's a pity that those three people are all children of my clan, one is my young daughter, and the other two are also men who have been passed down for generations, if they are sentenced to death, I am afraid that their parents will also lose their lives,"

"That's why I came to ask the Lord of the CRRC Mansion to order it, and I hope that the adults have bypassed these children, and they will be strict in discipline in the future."

Zhao Gao got up the tea, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, slightly smiling, and smiled disapprerovingly after listening; "It's just a county lieutenant, such a trivial matter, with a gesture, Duke Yu is polite."

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to recover the arrest warrant from the Tingwei Mansion, Duke Yu, please rest assured."

After speaking, Zhao Gao looked at Yu Qi with a smile, and said half-loudly; "Yu Gong is so generous, I'm afraid it's not just for such a trivial matter."

Zhao Gao has been immersed in officialdom for decades, and he has long been aware of these tricks, and he knows that if it is just to close the case, he does not need to spend such a big effort, and Yu Qi's business must have other purposes.

Sure enough, Yu Qi smiled; "My lord really knows everything, and I admire it very much."

"Actually, this time Qi came to see the adult, because he wanted to serve the adult dog and horse, and do the things of the eagle falcon, in order to get rich."

"Oh?" Zhao Gao put down the teacup, looked at Yu Qi meaningfully, and suddenly smiled; "What do you have to be my eagle dog?"

Yu Qi raised his head slightly, and his gaze swept to Zhang Wen beside him. Zhao Gao understood, said; "It's my henchman, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"There are 3,000 dead soldiers in Jiangdong below, I don't know if I can enter the eyes of adults." Yu Qi still said with a smile on his face.

This time, Zhao Gao couldn't help but be moved. Three thousand dead soldiers, this Yu Qi is so big, and he still said quietly; "I am the commander of the Great Qin Zhongche Prefecture, and I am in charge of the Tiger Fu Zhu Pi. Daqin has a million soldiers, and he wants you to do just 3,000 dead soldiers. ”

Yu Qi looked at Zhao Gao and smiled; "But the soldiers of Great Qin will only obey their emperor's orders, while my dead soldiers can only obey the orders of you, Lord Zhao. There are many things they can't do, but we can do them. ”

"Don't you want to be above ten thousand?"

Hearing the last sentence, Zhao Gao 'Huo' stood up, glared at Yu Qi angrily, and shouted, "You are so bold, you dare to rebel in front of this official, aren't you afraid that I will plant your nine clans?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Qi was not afraid, and said calmly; "Extraordinary things treat extraordinary people, I believe that your ambition is far from being a CRRC government order."

"My lord, others may not know your origins, but they have already heard of it. The adult is the ancestor of the Ying clan, and he is the bloodline of the first king, is it possible that he is surnamed Zhao Zheng in this world, and the adult can't sit down? ”

Seeing that Yu Qi even knew such a secret thing about his life experience, Zhao Gao couldn't help but be stunned.

The surname Ying is the descendant of the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and was later divided into 14 clans with different places of residence, namely Liang, Jiang, Lian, Huang, Qin, Zhao, Ma, Zhong, Ge, Xu, Fei, Tan, Gu, Miao, Qu, etc., Zhao Gao and the first emperor Yingzheng both belong to the surname Zhao, so Yu Qi said this.

Zhao Gao was angry for a long time, and suddenly his face was full of anger and changed to a smile; "You're so bold, are you really not afraid of the Zhulian Nine Clans?"

Yu Qi bowed. "Seeking danger in wealth is how it should be."

"If it happens, I hope that the adults will return to the Hou of Guannei and the county guard of Huiji."

Zhao Gao nodded and happily agreed, and said; "Don't talk about the county guard, as long as you are loyal to your own official, it is not impossible to split the territory and seal the territory."

"It's just ......" Zhao Gao's tone paused, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. You should know that if your actions are exposed, not only will I not protect you, but I will be the first to kill you. ”

"Remember, anything you do will have nothing to do with you."

"This is natural." Yu Qi bowed to the ground and bowed; "I wish the great things in the hearts of adults to be realized as soon as possible, and they will be above tens of thousands of people."

Zhao Gao let out a soft laugh, his eyes were half-squinted, as if he saw his position and the appearance of the ninth five, and he didn't notice the mocking smile that flashed on Yu Qi's face.

Note: The monarch of the Qin State was surnamed Zhao, and the ancient people often called him his name instead of his surname, so Sima Gong would call Ying Zheng Zhao Zheng in the historical record "Qin Shi Huang Benji". This is for the needs of the plot, so most of them refer to the concept of modern people, calling Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, and his descendants are called Ying Fusu, Win Huhai, Ying Ziying or something, after all, this is a novel, for most ordinary people to read, and the academic nature of writing is too strong to affect reading, so try to write in accordance with modern concepts on the premise of abiding by historical facts, and many places will not explain it one by one in the future. A lot of enthusiasts like to find the details of the big, and there is no need to find faults, many Jiangnan understand, it's just that the plot needs it...... Hehe, this is not a history book after all, it is a novel.

Another point, many historical materials mention Zhao Gao's origin, and a more credible one is that Zhao Gao is also the bloodline of the previous Qin king, so his surname is Zhao. There is also a mainstream saying that Zhao Gao is not a eunuch, but he was misrepresented as a eunuch, and Jiangnan will not change this point, after all, Zhao Gao is a eunuch in everyone's traditional concept, and suddenly a little JJ has grown, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to accept it.
