Chapter 12 It is better to die standing than to live on your knees
"Kill. Zhao Gao saw that the situation seemed to be a little bad, so he relented and shouted at the two rows of soldiers.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao indifferently, his expression was flat.
After Xiaodouzi heard Zhao Gao say the word "kill", his body couldn't help but tremble.
The two rows of mighty soldiers suddenly moved when they heard Zhao Gao's words, but they did not rush towards Yingzheng as they imagined, but turned their hands at Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he only felt like he had fallen from heaven to hell.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao with a dead face and said, "What else do you have to say?" He walked down from the couch above the lobby, came to Zhao Gao, and looked at Zhao Gao with pity.
"Becoming the king and defeating the king, Zhao Gao lost his heart, but before he died, he begged His Majesty to solve his doubts?" Zhao Gao took a deep breath and said very frustratedly.
"I know that you have questions, but what do I want to tell you?You rebellious thief, do I need to tell you?" Ying Zheng's tone was as sharp as a sharp knife, and he looked at Zhao Gao with great disdain.
"Huh. Zhao Gao laughed dryly, but his face was more ugly than his dead father, and he said to Ying Zheng, "Please ask Your Majesty to read it for the sake of the old slave who has been waiting for many years, and give him death!"
Ying Zheng sighed, he wanted to kill Zhao Gao, but the emotions of his memory made him feel a heartache as soon as he had this idea, and he looked at Zhao Gao helplessly;
"No regrets. Zhao Gao figured out that both horizontal and vertical were dead, and his heart was also let go, and he looked down on it, so he simply said very toughly.
"Why?" Ying Zheng glanced at him meaningfully, frowning slightly every day.
"Your Majesty is of noble birth, so naturally he can't understand our humble and reckless mentality. Zhao Gao's tone was indescribably envious and jealous, and he said something he didn't dare to say for decades.
"I can't see that you have a lot of ambitions, and you're quite good at justifying yourself. Ying Zheng shook his head, this Zhao Gao has been lost in his mind by desire, and he is hopeless.
"Ascend to the sky, stand up to the clouds, point out the country, and order no one in the world to want. Zhao Gao looked yearning, obviously self-absorbed.
"Do you have that ability? Not everyone can be the king of a country and patrol the heavens. Ying Zheng pointed to the key point and asked rhetorically.
"Really?" Zhao Gao was just confused for a while, obviously he couldn't give a positive answer, and fell silent.
Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stand back, and then said to Xiaodouzi and the two Black Nightmare Army soldiers, "You all stand down." ”
"The little slave took his leave. Little Bean bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.
The two black-robed Black Nightmare soldiers just bowed their heads, then walked towards the side door and disappeared.
At this time, Zhao Gao and Ying Zheng were left in the lobby, and the two were silent.
"Zhao Gao. Ying Zheng took the lead in breaking the silence and looked at Zhao Gaodao.
Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng suspiciously, with a puzzled look on his face, silent, he didn't know what to say.
"I have been killing you for many years in the friendship of master and servant, spare your life, but imprison you for life and live for the rest of your life!" Ying Zheng said with a gloomy face.
"Oh, if you don't kill me, how can Your Majesty serve the world? I have no idea of survival, so why should Your Majesty bother in vain. Zhao Gao was a little surprised, but there was no surprise, just doubts, and said cautiously.
"I will announce that Zhao Gao has been broken in the world, you don't have to worry too much, I don't have any conspiracy. Ying Zheng felt a little headache, the First Emperor had never killed the ministers who followed him in his life, he didn't want to destroy the First Emperor's wisdom, and the memory emotions in his mind made his heart hurt.
"Huh. Zhao Gao smiled bitterly again, and then looked unappreciative, "Your Majesty, don't bother with Zhao Gao, it's not worth it!"
"Zhao Gao was born lowly, he was a slave all his life, and he served His Majesty with trembling for more than 20 years, for fear that he would be angry if he did something wrong. More than 20 years! How many more than 20 years of life are there? Zhao Gao has been living in the majestic shadow of His Majesty for more than 20 years, and he really feels so tired. Zhao Gao's expression was very desolate, and tears fell from his vicissitudes of life.
Ying Zheng's heart seemed to have been cut by a knife, and the pain was unspeakable, but as the king of a country, he had to suppress his emotions, and his joy and anger were invisible, just quietly watching Zhao Gao sigh.
"In Zhao State, he was tortured in the palace, and he was full of talent and had no ambition, so he could only be a slave, Zhao Gao was unwilling, unwilling!" Zhao Gao roared sadly and indignantly, his face completely distorted.
Zhao Gao grovelled all his life, and had never been a real man, this time he was a real man, and he would rather live standing than die on his knees. Zhao Gao raised his head and said with a long smile, his face full of sadness.
"The slave does not want to survive, only hopes that His Majesty will read the friendship of master and servant for many years, after Zhao Gao's death, let go of my relatives, and come to repay His Majesty as a cow and a horse in the next life. After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he looked at the beams and pillars next to the lobby, rushed over, and hit his head over.
There was a "bang" sound, blood splashed everywhere, blood flowed down from Zhao Gao's face, he glanced at Yingzheng, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and slowly fell, the blood quickly stained his black robe and flowed on the stone slab on the ground.
Ying Zheng shook his head, the indescribable feeling in his heart, and shouted loudly, "Come on." ”
At this time, Xiaodouzi ran in from outside the door and said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty." ”
"Send someone to carry Zhao Gao's corpse to Zhao'an Rebellion, give up the resistance, I am not to blame for the past, and the stubborn ones will destroy the nine clans to purify the world. Ying Zheng regained the fluctuations in his heart, and said indifferently at this time.
"The little slave obeys. He hurriedly ran out of the city, brought four soldiers in, carried Zhao Gao's body, and disappeared into the darkness outside.
Ying Zheng looked at the empty house, the closed door, a sense of loneliness in his heart hit, he sat quietly on the couch, the black dress, as if to completely melt him into the darkness, the crown on his head drooped jade beads, covering his face, endless loneliness swept his heart.
He sat down on the couch and fell into deep thought, as the sky grew hazy, and a faint light rose from the east, slowly banishing the darkness.
"Knock knock. At this time, there was a knock at the door, which pulled Ying Zheng back to reality from his contemplation, and his voice was very indifferent;
"Squeak" The huge wooden door was opened, and Xiaodouzi walked in with a respectful face, kneeling under the lobby and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, the rebel army has surrendered, please make a decision." ”
"Hmm, what about Zhao Gao's body?" Ying Zheng didn't answer him, just lightly "um" and asked rhetorically.
"Returning to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao ......" Xiaodouzi suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly corrected it; "Zhao Gao's body was hung at the city gate at this time to show the public, as an example. ”
"Who did that?" said Ying Zheng, frowning.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the slave should die, it is the slave who sees that the night is late, and he does not dare to disturb His Majesty, and he is free of holy will, please punish His Majesty. Xiao Douzi saw Yingzheng's eyes as if he was about to kill, and suddenly the frightened three souls were about to fly, and he quickly kowtowed and confessed.
"Well, you're doing the right thing, get up!" Ying Zheng pondered for a while, sighed in his heart, and then said.
"Your Majesty. Although it was dawn at this time, the weather was cold, and Xiaodouzi was also scared out of a cold sweat, at this time he understood the truth that a companion is like a tiger, and stood up in panic.
"Don't make any claims in the future, or I will divide your five horses. Ying Zheng warned in a cold tone.
"The slave obeys the order and does not dare to make a mistake. Xiaodouzi hurriedly thanked him, and secretly said in his heart, after such a time, where would I dare to do it next time! Lend me eight guts, and I won't dare.
"I see that you are very clever, so I will replace Zhao Gao in the future and wait for me. Ying Zheng nodded, and his tone changed slightly.
"Thank Your Majesty for your love, and the slave will definitely do his best to serve His Majesty. Xiaodou was immediately overjoyed, and only felt that the future was bright.
"Stand down! At noon, Xuanli County Shou came to see me. Ying Zheng said lightly.
"The slave retired, and His Majesty was blessed. Xiaodouzi bowed, walked out of the hall cautiously, and closed the door.
Ying Zheng saw that the gate was closed, his face showed a trace of tiredness, and he leaned on the couch, where was there still a little bit of the emperor's majesty.
