The First Emperor was slightly displeased, and asked loudly, "If Qing has anything to say, just say it." ”

Jia Hong pondered for a while, sorted out his words, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Yan Le." ”

On the side, Yan Le's body trembled, and he couldn't help glaring at Jia Hong, but above the main hall, Yan Le didn't dare to attack, so he had to endure it, and at this moment, there was a sound of discussion in the hall, and Zhao Gao, who was beside the First Emperor, stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Silence!" ”

The discussion stopped abruptly in Zhao Gao's shouting, and at this time, Jia Hong continued: "Your Majesty, this time Xianyang arrested the thieves, Yan Le pretended to seek personal gain, excluded dissidents, and harmed the people. ”

Jia Hong's words attracted another round of heated discussions in the hall, this time, Zhao Gao did not stop everyone's discussions, the first emperor also had a gloomy face at this time, Yan Le reported the water account, he didn't know in his heart, but the first emperor did not fancy the process, but the result, the thief's thing, there is a beautiful ending, it is the most important, but Jia Hong just pierced this layer of window paper, so that the first emperor lost face, so he had to ask Yan Le: "Yan Le!" Do you have something to say? ”

Yan Le's worst fear finally happened, Jia Hong really impeached himself, but Zhao Gao once made it clear that he would help him get out of danger, the premise is that he must deny it outright, and he must not pull Zhao Gao out, just when Yan Le was hesitating, the First Emperor roared again: "Yan Le! Do you have anything to explain to me? ”

Yan Le's body trembled, prostrate on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, please Your Majesty to check ......"

Looking at Yan Le kneeling on the ground, the First Emperor wanted to be furious, but on the side, Zhao Gao quietly informed: "Your Majesty, I heard that most of the bandits Changque are active near Gyeonggi, Yan Le arrested thieves and arrested many of Jia Hong's cronies, could his impeachment be related to this matter?" ”

"You mean...... Was Yan Le wronged? The First Emperor squinted at Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed down and replied: "The minister just thinks that if His Majesty feels suspicious, he can send someone to investigate again." ”

The First Emperor heard the meaning of Zhao Gao's words, this matter is definitely not as simple as Jia Hong said, but it will not be as exaggerated as Yan Le's report, the reports of the two are biased, but this matter has passed, and the First Emperor doesn't want to mention it, so he shouted: "You all retreat, this matter, no need to discuss it again." ”

Yan Le's heart was relieved, kowtowed and thanked him, got up and returned to his position, but Jia Hong was a little unwilling, he still wanted to say something, not far away, Wang Juan coughed lightly, Jia Hong quietly looked at Wang Juan, Wang Juan waved his right hand in his arms, signaling Jia Hong not to say any more, Jia Hong had to kowtow: "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's will." ”

Jia Hong returned to his position, and Zhao Gao stepped forward again and asked, "Who else has something to report?" ”

Just when everyone stopped talking and Zhao Gao was about to shout to retreat from the court, a guard walked in, came to the center of the main hall, and bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, there is a person outside the palace, who calls himself Xu Fu, and asks to see him outside!" ”

The First Emperor's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Who ......?" ”

"Xu Fu."

The First Emperor couldn't help but get up excitedly and said to himself, "He's finally back." ”

This Xu Fu, who has been at sea for as many as three years, is the most trusted alchemist of the First Emperor, I don't know if he can bring him the elixir of life when he comes back this time, the First Emperor ordered with anticipation: "Bring him in quickly." ”

The guards sang the promise and left, and the first emperor, Long Yan Dayue, sat back on the dragon couch and said with a smile: "Today is a good day." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I hope that this time Xu Fu can bring back what His Majesty wants." Zhao Gao flattered on the side, the first emperor smiled and nodded, and soon, the two guards led Xu Fu into the main hall, Xu Fu walked up the steps slowly, and soon came to the center of the main hall, kneeling down and saluting: "Xu Fu, grass people, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

"Xu Qing, please get up."

The First Emperor was too excited, and actually wanted to help Xu Fu up by himself, on the side, Zhao Gao's eyes were quick and he grabbed the First Emperor, and the First Emperor realized that he was a little out of shape, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Aiqing went to sea this time, did you go to that Penglai Island to ask for the elixir for me?" ”

Xu Fufei was embarrassed and sighed: "Your Majesty, the minister has approached the fairy island several times, but there are divine beasts in the sea to block it, and the grass people have tried to land on the island many times, but they can't reach it. ”

The First Emperor sighed, the gods and beasts blocked each other, did he really have no immortal fate? The glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was once again turned into nothing at this time, and the First Emperor was extremely depressed, but it was Xu Fu who seized the opportunity at this time, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the grass people still have a way to get the elixir." ”

The First Emperor's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Say it quickly." ”

Xu Fuwei saluted and arched his hand: "Please give your majesty a reward to the minister with five hundred children, and the minister will take these five hundred children// boys and girls to go to sea to contribute to the immortals, and the immortals will be happy, and they will inevitably take back the divine beasts, and the grass people can take the opportunity to ask for the elixir and dedicate it to Your Majesty." ”

"Hehe, I've got it!"

The First Emperor couldn't help laughing, Xu Fu kowtowed and thanked him, and the First Emperor ordered the chamberlain to take the Book of Heaven and put it in front of Xu Fu, and said with a smile: "Look at it, what is the difference between this Book of Heaven?" ”

Xu Fu was surprised, opened it and saw that there were four big characters inside, 'Hu of the Dead Qin', what is going on? Xu Fu couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, and at this time, the First Emperor said with a smile: "This is the book of heaven that Lu Sheng went to sea and asked for back, Aiqing take a look, is there any mystery?" ”

Only then did Xu Fu understand that this was the book of heaven that Lu Sheng brought back from the East China Sea? Thinking about it, Xu Fu couldn't help sneering in his heart, he and Lu Sheng both relied on deception to catch // the first emperor's desire to ask for the immortal elixir, eat and drink together, and in this world, how could there be a book of heaven, but Xu Fu knew in his heart that he couldn't say it, once he said it, it would affect himself, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "This is a hint from the immortals to Your Majesty, the Hu people will attack the frontier, and Your Majesty can send generals to guard the border to keep it safe." ”

When the First Emperor heard Xu Fu's words, he couldn't help laughing: "I have already sent General Meng Tian to send 300,000 troops to fight against the Huns, calculate the time, and Meng Tian should also report the victory." ”

Stopped, the First Emperor looked at the important ministers of the court, and said with a smile: "The immortals protect my Great Qin, give me the Book of Heaven, and when he gets the elixir, I will be able to keep my youth forever, and my Great Qin will also be prosperous forever, and the world will be peaceful." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

。。。。。。

At night, the First Emperor was working hard to write a book, reading and folding on several bamboo slips, and soon, the First Emperor looked up at Zhao Gao, who was holding the lamp on the side, and asked in a deep voice: "Why hasn't Lu Sheng come yet?" ”

Zhao Gao looked back at the hourglass, the chamberlain had been gone for half an hour, according to the time calculation, it should be almost there, but replied to the first emperor: "Your Majesty, it's been half an hour, it should be almost there." ”

The First Emperor nodded and continued to bow his head to deal with the twists, at this time, a person hurriedly entered, came to the First Emperor's imperial case, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, Lu Sheng disappeared ten days ago!" ”

"Missing?" The First Emperor raised his head suddenly, slapped the table, and roared angrily: "What do you mean ...... where you don't know? ”

"I heard that ten days ago, he left in a hurry and never returned. ”

Time seemed to stand still, the first emperor sat back on the soft seat in astonishment, he seemed to have a premonition, but he didn't want to believe it, at this time, Zhao Gao gave the neighbor a look, the neighbor understood, and left in a hurry, only the first emperor and Zhao Gao were left in the room, and soon, the first emperor said angrily: "Go and pass the decree, let Jia Hong do his best to investigate this matter!" ”

Zhao Gao was not in a hurry to leave, he cleaned up the messy folds on the table, and then said: "Your Majesty, Jia Hong is upright and upright, leaving no room for things, Lu Sheng's departure still doesn't know what to do, the minister suggests, you might as well appoint Zhang Han to secretly investigate this matter, and don't make a noise for the time being." ”

The First Emperor listened to Zhao Gao's words, and said a little impatiently: "According to your words, let him give me an explanation within three days." ”

"Obey the order, and do it." Zhao Gao put the fold in place, saluted the first emperor, and then left in a hurry.

。。。。。。

At night, a carriage stopped in front of the door of Zhanghan's house, the horseman who drove the horse walked up the steps and knocked on the door hard, and soon, an old slave walked out, impatiently asked who it was, the horseman told him that the car government order came to visit, the old slave opened the door, let Zhao Gao enter, and he hurriedly reported to the back house.

Zhang Han learned that Zhao Gao was visiting, hurriedly dressed and walked to the guest hall, after the backyard pavilion, Zhang Han suddenly paused, he was puzzled, Zhao Gao came so late, what could it be? In contemplation, Zhang Han really couldn't guess, so he simply let go of his pace and walked forward quickly.

Zhao Gao sat in the guest hall, sipping tea, and was extremely proud in his heart, if the first emperor appointed Jia Hong to investigate the case thoroughly, would he take the opportunity to thoroughly investigate Yan Le? The answer is very affirmative, he will definitely do this, but Zhang Han is different, he is a military general, he doesn't have so many eyes, it is more important, Zhao Gao also wants to pull Zhang Han under his door, so that he has another point of influence in the court.

But Zhao Gao is also worried, he is worried that Zhang Han will not be willing to give in to himself, so Zhao Gao also left a way for himself, if Zhang Han refuses to stand on his side, he will not want to have a chance to be promoted, and even, he will get rid of him on this matter, just when Zhao Gao was thinking in his heart, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Lord Zhao came to visit late at night, and Zhang was unable to greet him from afar, please forgive me." Zhang Han clenched his fists and walked into the guest hall, at this time, Zhao Gao also got up and said with a smile: "It's me who disturbed General Zhang." ”

Both of them laughed, each took their seats, a maid brought two cups of tea, put them in front of the two, turned to leave, there was a brief silence in the house, but soon, Zhao Gao took the new tea he had just sent, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Shaofu Han Tong, old and sick, is no longer competent, Your Majesty is thinking about who will take over, I think that this position is none other than General Zhang." ”

Zhang Han was already thinking about Zhao Gao's words at a very fast speed in his heart, and finally, he heard a hint of taste, Zhao Gao was in his words, testing himself, if he expressed his position and was willing to support him, he would inevitably recommend himself to take over as Shaofu, this was an opportunity.

Although Zhang Han is a military general, but in this chaotic Qin State, if he wants to be promoted, unless there is a very powerful court or backstage, it is difficult to move an inch, thinking so, Zhang Han hugged his fists and smiled: "As long as Lord Zhao does not give up, I am willing to accompany him." ”

Zhao Gao wanted this sentence, at this moment Zhao Gao squinted his eyes and said with a smug smile: "However, I came today to convey a secret decree of His Majesty, this matter is done, and the day of your promotion is not far away......"

"I am willing to listen to Lord Zhao's orders."

Soon, the hearty laughter of the two could be heard in the room.
