Chapter 22: Heartfelt Advice
Sure enough, the next morning.
Zhao Gao came to Huaqing Pavilion and held the holy decree together.
"Ten Princes, Your Majesty summons."
In the pavilion, an old man and a young man sat in the courtyard.
Zhao Mu poured a full teacup unhurriedly and drank with him.
"Lord Zhao, Your Majesty summoned you this time to serve for lunch a month ago."
Hearing this, Zhao Gao just nodded lightly.
I saw that his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't know whether this trip was a blessing or a curse.
Although I knew in my heart that His Majesty would not criticize the Ten Princes, after all, the Ten Princes were also for the sake of the government and the opposition.
But to fight with the king like this will only end up losing both.
"Childe has said, I have already said that the old slave is really not worthy of the word adult in front of you."
"Your Majesty's summons is indeed for this matter, and the tenth prince doesn't have to be nervous, just follow the old slave into the palace to find out."
The two of them got into the carriage and drove towards the palace.
On the carriage, Zhao Gao's forehead was covered with fine sweat, on the other hand, Zhao Mu.
From time to time, I looked out of the window and saw the drunken and beautiful mountains, rivers and rivers of Daqin.
Seeing that Zhao Mu was so leisurely, Zhao Gao admired it in his heart.
Who else could have such courage after arguing with the king?
Xianyang Palace, inner hall.
"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"
Zhao Mu bowed his head and couldn't see the expression on his face.
Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the chessboard on the side, did not respond.
I saw that on the chessboard, the sunspots were decisive in killing, and they fell into a daze.
And Bai Zi is indecisive and cautious in every step.
The situation was scorching, and a black son suddenly entered the local position, and the white son quickly returned to the defense.
The two sides use different tactics, but they can fight back and forth.
On the surface, it was the sunspots that had the upper hand, but they didn't notice it.
It is precisely because of his decisiveness that the rear guard was eaten away by Baizi step by step.
"Old ten, what do you think of this chess game?"
Zhao Mu understood that Yingzheng at this time was the cautious white child.
And he is the sunspot who kills decisively.
Yingzheng's trip is probably to tell himself that a thorough investigation of hundreds of officials is as decisive as a sunspot, but he can't protect his rear.
If you are careful and think about the long term, you can break this game.
"Watching chess is silent, true gentleman."
After that, Zhao Mu knelt on the ground, "Erchen will leave first!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Mu turned around and prepared to leave without thinking.
But as expected, Ying Zheng stopped him.
I saw a hearty laugh coming from the back, "Old ten, I called you here today for food." ”
"Why are you leaving before I tell me?"
Zhao Mu said secretly in his heart, old fox, didn't you tell me to get out?
That being said, he won't really leave.
Although Ying Zheng's words are on this point, a thorough investigation of the matter of hundreds of officials will definitely be implemented.
The promise made at that time above the inner sanctum was clear.
Since ancient times, emperors have said one thing, let alone Yingzheng.
"The son knows his father's intentions, so he will not stay longer."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
His eyebrows widened, and he was not angry about it.
"It deserves to be the old ten, and he is talented."
"I have already explained the matter of the hundred officials, and I will be able to draw a conclusion in less than three days."
Hearing this, Zhao Mu knelt on the ground with a thud.
Although he had expected the result, he still had to thank his father for his wisdom.
Now that it's on fire, he doesn't mind pouring some more oil.
"Son, thank you, father Emperor Longen! Winning this emperor is a blessing for my Great Qin! ”
After speaking, Zhao Mu frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this situation, Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"What does Lao Shi think, you can say it bluntly."
I saw Zhao Mu hesitate again and again, and finally made up his mind.
"It's not that the sons provoke, but my father, my brothers and I must also be aware of it."
"Only when we prove our innocence, will the officials have no complaints."
Ying Zheng never expected that such a pattern and magnanimity would come from the mouth of a young man.
not only made a statement to the imperial court, but also paved the way for the imperial court.
would rather be in danger than think about the court everywhere.
My big Qin man, it should be like this!
"Good! Good! He is worthy of being my heir. ”
"Old ten, you didn't disappoint me, no matter how things develop, I have a lot of rewards!"
Zhao Mu still knelt on the ground, reluctant to get up for a long time.
In the face of his father, Emperor Longen, he could only use this trip to express his heartfelt feelings.
"Erchen...... Thank you, Father Emperor Longen! ”
Zhao Gao on the side breathed a long sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
No wonder the tenth prince did not see nervousness along the way.
It turned out that he had already thought of a countermeasure for everything.
This scene dialogue has been staged thousands of times in his heart.
In this way, the officials will only support the selflessness of Yingzheng.
Even the prince of Great Qin has to be thoroughly investigated, not to mention the civil and military officials, what complaints do they have to complain about.
Coming out of the inner hall, Zhao Mu was like a spring breeze.
"The Ten Sons are really witty, whether it is courage and strategy, they are all admired by the old slave."
Zhao Gao bowed his head and seemed sincere.
Although he has a flattering smile on his mouth, this person is already a thief.
Just when he has a bad face, Zhao Mu unceremoniously accepted all the praise.
"This matter must be handed over to Lord Zhao to take care of, and you must not bend the law for personal gain."
"Any clues must be thoroughly investigated to the end, and I can't be chilled by the people of Great Qin."
Hearing this, Zhao Gao practiced his promise, and his heart was still amazed.
Looking at Zhao Mu's back when he left, he was also secretly thinking about something.
Such a spirit, quite an imperial atmosphere.
The matter of thoroughly investigating the hundred officials soon spread among the government and the opposition.
Although it is a secret investigation, most of the people in the court and the opposition breathe out of one nostril.
If the wind is not right, everyone will huddle together to keep warm.
Several masters of famous families gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Have you heard, Your Majesty is going to thoroughly investigate the hundred officials this time, and I don't know what happened."
"Even several sons were not spared, and they all entered the mansion to search."
"It seems that Your Majesty is going to be serious this time, should we hide it?"
"The body is not afraid of the shadow slanted, just check!"
Those who don't know the inside story have long forgotten the lunchtime meal of the labor a month ago.
After all, everyone worries about the government all day long, and they will not worry about one thing so far.
Even if you check, I don't know why.
But when I saw the mansion of the fifth prince, it was still brightly lit in the middle of the night.
"What to do, what to do, I see that the person who inspects is coming."
"Third brother, help me find a way!"
The fifth prince was so anxious that he spun around in place, in stark contrast to the idle third son on the desk.
Hearing that His Majesty had thoroughly investigated the hundred officials, the third prince hurried here from the mansion.
I wanted to discuss countermeasures with my fifth brother tonight.
But I never thought that this inspection would be day and night.
"What's the panic, do you have anything unsightly in the mansion?"
"The third brother told you a long time ago, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, let you clean up the house, but you just don't listen."
Seeing that the crisis was imminent, the third prince was still talking about it here.
made the fifth prince suddenly angry, and he got up to get up and wanted to pick up someone.
