Chapter 52: The princess makes trouble in Langzhongfu

In late April, the second returned to Xianyang. At this time, the mothers of the brothers whom he had killed heard that their sons were dead, and they were all so frightened that they were in pain, so they came to the court and wept and made a fuss, seeking death and life. When Jiang Lu's mother heard that her son was still alive, she ordered the second to release him immediately. The second emperor was also frightened at this time, so he asked the samurai to drive them out of the palace first, and then summoned Zhao Gao to discuss. Zhao Gao instigated: "Your brothers rebelled, maybe their mother instigated it. Now that the situation is urgent, you should interrogate Jiang Lu and the others overnight, otherwise your throne will be unstable! The second immediately handed over the interrogation to Zhao Gao to handle.

That night, Zhao Gao sent his henchmen to the prison to interrogate Jiang Lu and others. Xinji has a strong temperament, and when she sees the interrogators, she scolds them bitterly. The fifth prince is also young and vigorous. As a result, none of them confessed to rebellion, so they were severely beaten by the jailer, and all three were knocked unconscious, and then the jailer woke up with cold water. After such repeated interrogations, the three of them were beaten to pieces. The interrogator finally said to the general: "As a son, you are not like a courtier, and you should be punished for your crimes." I will execute you according to the edict, and if you have anything to say, shall you say it quickly? Collapsing Lu to the ground, he pulled away his bloody hair with his hand very hard, and said tremblingly: "I have never dared to disobey the etiquette in the court, and I have never dared to fight for the position in the court. What am I guilty of? Since you have to die for me, tell me the truth, so that even if you die, you can be blind? The officials looked at each other, very ashamed, and said: "We are just acting on orders, and now no one can save you, so you might as well cut it off by yourself if you endure so much pain!" After listening to the words of the jailer, Jiang Lu's heart was like a knife. After a few more moments, he looked up and cried out in despair, "Oh my God! Why is it so cannibalism? Is it difficult for my Great Qin Kingdom to really be finished? What a pity! What a pity! That's how we died! The three of them hugged their heads and cried, and finally killed themselves one by one.

When Zhao Gao heard that his brother was dead, he walked into the cell, let him grab the fingers of the three people and put their handprints on the confession, and a hideous smile appeared on his face, he hummed like a vicious dog and walked out quickly, and it was already dawn at this time. At that time, Zhao Gao came to see the second with the confessions of the three and said, "Your Majesty, the three have confessed to rebellion. However, by the time the ministers arrived in prison, they had already committed suicide in fear. This is a confession, please take a look at it. With that, he handed the false confession he had prepared in advance to the second. When the second looked at it, he saw that it was written:

Honest and fearful: We really don't want our younger brother to be the emperor, so we want to attack on Jieshi and kill the emperor, but Zhao Gao arrived in time and attempted to assassinate. Later, we planned in the garden of Du County, preparing to return to Beijing to launch a Zheng mutiny with the queen mother and oust His Majesty from the throne. But it backfired, and the wise Majesty sensed our actions in advance and put an end to this turmoil. As the saying goes, 'If you don't succeed, you become benevolent.' We are ashamed to have done such a rebellious thing as the flesh and blood of Your Majesty, and now that we think about it, we are really sorry for Your Majesty, and we are also sorry for your mother and the deceased father, so we have no shame to live in the world anymore, so we have to die to apologize to the world, and our family hopes to be forgiven by Your Majesty.

When the second saw it, he said with great emotion: "Alas! I didn't expect my compatriots to kill each other like this, if it wasn't for Aiqing's mediation, I would have been killed by them a long time ago, how can I still be today! "I gave Zhao Gao a generous reward. From then on, the second trusted Zhao Gao even more, and the affairs of the court, no matter how big or small, were decided by him.

Qin Shi Huang had ten princesses, all of whom were pampered and pampered, and when they heard that their elder brothers and younger brothers had been killed by the emperor, they were very sad in their hearts, so they gathered together and discussed: "The elder brother and younger brothers were executed by the emperor, and we can't help but ask about this." Prime Minister Li Si is the important minister of the first emperor and the father-in-law of the second sister, go to her now, and then go to see Prime Minister Li Cheng, and ask him to lead a hundred officials into the palace to persuade him, he must kill Zhao Gao, a traitor, and avenge your brothers and younger brothers! After everyone discussed, they came to the second sister's house.

After everyone saw the second sister, they said: "Your father-in-law is a very popular minister, and he is the prime minister who affects the overall situation." Now that the elder brother and younger brothers are dead, we want to avenge the elder brother and younger brother. The second princess cried and said, "My brother and brothers are dead, and I am also very sad, and I am about to go to find my father, you are here, and we are going together." "The princesses came to Prime Minister Li's office. They said to Li Si: "You are the head of the hundred officials, and you are the important minister of the previous emperor, and now the new emperor listens to slander and kills at will, why don't you lead the hundred officials into the court to admonish?" Li Si said: "The minister wanted to enter the palace many times, but he was turned away, and now the emperor only listens to Lang Zhongling's words, and the minister is really powerless!" When the minister heard that the emperor wanted to kill the princes, it was all Zhao Gao's idea. You are princesses, Zhao Gao has no way to deal with you, you better go to him to theorize, right? As soon as the princesses heard this, they came to Zhao Gao's mansion in a rage.

When Zhao Gao heard that the princesses were coming, he hurriedly got up to greet them. When the princesses came to the hall, they scolded Zhao Gao as soon as they saw him: "Zhao Gao, why did you kill our brother? What crimes did they commit? Why do you want to persuade Your Majesty to kill innocents indiscriminately? You traitor! Knave! Zhao Gao was speechless in panic. The second princess reprimanded: "As a close minister of the emperor, you don't want to serve the country, but you are deliberately doing something that endangers the country and harms the country and the people? Are you trying to subvert my Great Qin? You traitor! Demon! Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Princesses Chitose, the killing of the prince really has nothing to do with me, this is all Your Majesty's decision!" The minister is just a slave, how can he participate in the affairs of the court? You'd better go and ask the prime minister, right? The princesses said in unison: "We have already looked for the prime minister, and he said that the emperor is obedient to you, and all right and wrong are related to you!" You traitors, who enjoy the country's fortunes all day long, are so mad, they are all inhumane things! Zhao Gao was so scolded that he didn't dare to come out. The eldest princess asked, "Why do you say that our brother rebelled, and what evidence do you have?" Just this castrated bad thing! Zhao Gao was furious in his heart, but he was speechless and did not dare to resist. After the princesses scolded Zhao Gao, they still felt angry, so they stepped forward to tear him apart. Zhao Gao hurriedly crawled under the table. Everyone kicked Zhao Gao like a ball, and finally overturned the table, smashed the utensils at home, and threw the paperwork to the ground before stopping. When he was about to go out, he pointed at Zhao Gao and said: "We will go to see Your Majesty now, and then expose your heinous crimes, and then let Your Majesty kill you, a thing that is not human!" Castrated the stinky bastard who didn't cut to death! After saying that, he rushed away.

Zhao Gao got out of the table and got up, felt that his face and buttocks were very painful, found a mirror and looked at it, and found that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was immediately annoyed and angry. They said he was 'a stinky bastard who was castrated but not killed,' and this sentence plunged an awl into his heart. Zhao Gao was embarrassed and indignant at this time, he first hated Li Si, hated that he shouldn't have instigated them to come here to make trouble, and then hated this group of girls for beating him and scolding him, so he wanted to sit down and be quiet. But as soon as Zhao Gao got down, he suddenly remembered that the princesses said when they were leaving, that they were going to find the emperor. Zhao Gao's heart was shocked, thinking that if this group of ladies really saw the emperor, once the emperor repented, he would treat himself for a capital crime, which was called inseparability! Thinking of this, Zhao Gao didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he ran out of the house. As he ran, he shouted, "Prepare the car!" Hurry up and get ready! At this time, a guard had already brought a carriage. Zhao Gao climbed into the carriage and drove straight to Wangyi Palace.

Zhao Gao rushed to Wangyi Palace out of breath, because only he knew where the emperor was, so he rushed to the front of the princesses. When Zhao Gao saw the second, he burst into tears. II was shocked and asked what had happened. Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty, it's the other way around!" It's the other way around! They're the opposite! The second asked who had reversed. Zhao Gao panted and said: "It's your sisters, they want to avenge your brother, they ran to the minister's mansion first and beat the minister badly." Now I want to beat Your Majesty again, and I say that I want to kill Your Majesty and then set up a new king! Now they are rushing to Wangyi Palace, please Your Majesty quickly hide, lest they be killed by them. Your sisters are like wolves, fierce and vicious, and they are like tigresses. When the second heard this, he saw that Zhao Gao was beaten and his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, so he was so frightened that his legs became weak, and said, "Aiqing, where am I hiding?" Zhao Gao said: "Please come with me, Your Majesty." With that, he led the second to run out of the harem and came to the toilet door all the way.

When the second came to the door of the toilet, he was a little embarrassed and said, "I am the king of a country, how can you let me hide in the latrine?" Zhao Gao pretended to be frightened and said: "Your Majesty, when they come, they will bite off your ears and gouge out your eyeballs!" Compared to this, what's wrong with hiding in the latrine? Get on board! So saying, he pulled II into the latrine. Zhao Gao also said: "Of course, Your Majesty, you are also the first emperor since ancient times to let rebellious ministers and thieves drive into the latrine, today's things are too abnormal!" Shame on Your Majesty! But it's more sad! Why are you getting to this point? If it weren't for the ministers to protect you, you would have died a long time ago! I'm not afraid of death, but I'm worried that I'm dead, Your Majesty is alone, how can you deal with so many rebels who want to kill you? In the past, I talked to you about many important matters of governing the country, but now it seems that they are all redundant, and you are not born with the power of an emperor! You're just an insignificant little boy in the eyes of those girls! Today's ministers were severely beaten and insulted by them, is this proof? Why do you even bother to hide in a latrine? Alas! How good should the first emperor be alive? Who doesn't know his majesty? Which one doesn't know? He just glared, and the courtiers were afraid to die; If you shout, the world will be turbulent; If the sword is pointed to the east, the six countries will be unified. He is really a dragon roaring and a tiger, and he is dominant! If he is here, how can the minister suffer such a great shame? Alas! Heartbreaking! Pathetic! Zhao Gao cried again: "First Emperor! Where are you? Just look at our monarchs, right? If you're still here, how can you be? Woowoo woo ......"

Zhao Gao's cry really angered the young second, this is the effect of Zhao Gaoyao, the second was furious and said: "Can't I let them die?" Zhao Gao pretended to be surprised and said, "What? What? Your Majesty, are you really so bold? If this is the case, the minister will be saved, and the Great Qin State will be saved! The second suddenly became like a tiger, and he scolded loudly: "I am the king of a country, and I am afraid that a few of them will not succeed?" If you hadn't led me here, why would you be so embarrassed! Let's go, let's get out! Zhao Gao couldn't stop laughing, knowing that the second was iron-hearted, so he followed him out of the toilet. At this time, a group of eunuchs ran in and said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the royal sisters rushed in, they were all aggressive, as if they were ...... to fight" The second was furious, and said to Zhao Gao: "Lang Zhongling listens to the order!" I order you to immediately lead the armor guards to arrest the royal sisters, and immediately take them to the city to behead them for public display! Zhao Gao was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty, you are really a wise and decisive king!" Commanded! After that, he ordered the left and right to protect the emperor and enter the inner palace first. He immediately transferred dozens of palace guards, and then rushed out.
