Zhao Gao left Xianyang Palace by carriage, under the escort of the government soldiers, came to Dongle Street, the carriage walked through the street, the people avoided one after another, dodged in time, were knocked down by the carriage, some were even run over by the carriage, provoked the dissatisfaction and anger of the people, the government soldiers whipped and scolded the people, soon, Zhao Gao's carriage stopped in front of Huhai Mansion, Zhao Gao lifted the curtain and went to the house.

In the courtyard of the back house, the sound of singing and dancing, several beautiful dancing girls are graceful and graceful, dancing and dancing, Hu Hai left // hugging // right // hugging, two beautiful women snuggled in Hu Hai's arms, holding wine glasses, delicate persuasion, at this time, the housekeeper hurriedly rushed in, and hurriedly said: "Son, Lord Zhao is here." ”

Hu Hai was slightly displeased, and scolded: "What are you panicking about? Does this son still want to greet him? ”

As soon as Hu Hai's words fell, Zhao Gao had walked in quickly, the music stopped abruptly, and the dancing girls also retreated, at this time, Zhao Gao's sharp eyes fell on the woman in Hu Hai's arms, the woman couldn't help but be shocked, avoiding Zhao Gao's gaze, Hu Hai smiled embarrassedly, and scolded everyone to leave.

The room gradually became quiet, only Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were left, at this time, the two maids brought tea and put it in front of the two of them, Hu Hai took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Why is Lord Zhao free to come over today?" ”

Zhao Gao at this time, has gradually calmed down, he just displeased, hidden in the bottom of his heart, try not to show it, but Hu Hai's performance, still made Zhao Gao extremely dissatisfied, he and Fusu are also the sons of the first emperor, but Fusu Lixian corporal, won the hearts of the people, and Hu Hai, every day only knows how to play with women, drink for fun, completely without a son's sense of responsibility and lofty goals, thinking of this, Zhao Gao felt a little remorseful in his heart, he knew that Hu Hai was so incompetent, and he supported Fusu at the beginning, maybe today will be a different situation.

But for the sake of Hu Hai, he has offended Fusu, and even incompatible, if Hu Hai can't ascend the throne, Fusu will definitely die, there is no choice of retreat, so that Zhao Gao can see the future more clearly, more clearly, thinking of this, Zhao Gao sighed lightly, he knew that it was useless for him to think about these things at this time, so he went straight to the topic and sneered: "Lu Sheng absconded, the government and the opposition were shaken, has this son heard?" ”

Hu Hai has been pampering the two Mei Ji who have just entered the mansion these days, and he has no idea what will happen outside, at this moment Zhao Gao asked, Hu Hai didn't know how to answer, but he didn't want Zhao Gao to know, he didn't know anything, so he had to ponder a little, and said with a smile: "I heard, I don't know what this has to do with me?" ”

Zhao Gao saw Hu Hai's perfunctory, he hated it in his heart, but he couldn't blame Hu Hai on his lips, so he had to smile and say: "Your Majesty has issued an order on this matter, Guanzhong Dasuo, strictly investigate this matter, we might as well take this opportunity to suppress the Fusu henchmen, which will be beneficial to the prince to seize the throne." ”

Hu Hai heard the word "seizure of the prince", couldn't help but smile and bloomed, the glory and wealth in front of him, just the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, but the seizure of the prince and the enthronement is different, as long as he becomes the emperor, the beauty is inexhaustible, the wine is not dry, this kind of life, is what he wants, thinking of this, Hu Hai is in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Please also ask Lord Zhao to plan more, I will obey my words." ”

"But the prince is only stuffed in the house every day, doesn't care about national affairs, and doesn't show his ability in front of His Majesty, I'm afraid that sooner or later he will be Fusu down." Zhao Gao sighed.

Hu Hai heard Zhao Gao's reproach, pulled down his face, and said unhappily: "What should I do if Lord Zhao has meant?" ”

Loyal to the ear, Zhao Gao saw Hu Hai change color, and also raised his voice and said: "If Gongzi wants to seize the throne, he must listen to me at this time, restrain himself, talk more about political affairs in front of His Majesty, let His Majesty see Gongzi's strength, and also prove that Gongzi is not a person who only knows how to spend time and wine, in this way, I am planning for Gongzi, eradicating the Fusu henchmen, and sweeping away obstacles, is Gongzi still worried about not being able to ascend the throne?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Gao paused, looked at Hu Hai, and saw that he was still listening, so he continued: "If Gongzi continues to sink, once Fusu ascends the throne, Gongzi is afraid that he will lose everything in front of him, and Fusu will definitely not raise Gongzi for a lifetime like he is now." ”

Hu Hai was stunned by the latter sentence, Fusu would not allow himself to spend time drinking, this is inevitable, he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, his tone softened a little, and sighed: "But I am not the eldest son after all, since ancient times, I am afraid of ......."

"Childe don't worry, I will pave the way for Childe." Zhao Gao swore an oath.

Soon, Zhao Gao took a sip of tea, got up, and instructed: "There is still something in my house, go back first, don't forget what I told you, and Fusu will come back in a few days, Gongzi At this time, you should pay more attention to your words and deeds, and don't let them catch any handles." ”

Hu Hai nodded, got up and said with a smile: "I remember, Lord Zhao walks slowly." ”

。。。。。。

Zhao Gao returned to the mansion, it was already afternoon, and as soon as he entered the door, Zhao Cheng greeted him and said softly: "General Zhang has been waiting in the mansion for a long time." ”

Zhao Gao nodded slightly, Zhang Han came just in time, so as not to send someone to invite him, he walked quickly to the living room.

Zhang Han was drinking tea in the living room at this time, and when he heard footsteps, Zhang Han hurriedly got up, at this time, Zhao Gao walked in quickly, Zhang Han greeted him, and bowed down: "The last general has seen Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Gao nodded in return, the two of them sat down, Zhang Han smiled and said: "Last time, thank you Lord Zhao for your advice, the last general can be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor this time, I am very happy in my heart, and I specially prepared a thin gift to come to Lord Zhao's mansion to thank you." ”

Zhao Gao glanced at the gift on the table, it was an iron box, if he guessed correctly, it should be gold, this gift, but it is heavy enough, thinking of this, Zhao Gao couldn't help laughing, "General Zhang, I also want to congratulate you today, Your Majesty has promised that you will be promoted to Shaofu, and in the next few days, the holy decree will be issued." ”

Zhang Han's eyes lit up, he hurriedly got up, knelt on one knee, and gave Zhao Gao a big salute: "Thank you for your promotion." ”

Zhao Gao saw that Zhang Han was so attentive, and he was in a good mood, so he got up and helped Zhang Han, and the two of them re-seated, at this time, Zhao Gao smiled and said: "Lu Sheng's case, General Zhang has investigated it carefully enough, but this is not enough, Your Majesty means that anyone related to Lu Sheng must be strictly investigated, and Dasuo ten days, especially Confucianism, will be arrested." ”

Zhang Han couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Zhao Gao mention the arrest of Confucianism, and sighed: "Lord Zhao, there are hundreds of Confucian students in Xianyang, if they are arrested, it will cause panic, and besides, with such a huge number, will we ......?"

Zhang Han didn't continue, he felt that some words could be said to the end, if they were deep, they would lead to the fire, but Zhao Gao had already ignored Zhang Han at this time, and only after half a sound, he ordered: "Master Zhang, this matter is undoubted, we must do it with all our might, if there is the slightest negligence, be careful of your head." ”

Seeing that Zhao Gao was angry, Zhang Han had to get up and sighed: "My subordinates understand that they must handle this matter well." ”

Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It's not enough to just search for Confucianism, I have a list, these people have all had contact with Lu Sheng, and Lu Sheng absconded, they have the unshirkable responsibility, they can't shirk it, you can arrest people according to the order." ”

Zhang Han knew in his heart that this was Zhao Gao taking the opportunity to exclude dissidents, and he couldn't refuse, otherwise, the title of Shaofu he had just obtained would be gone in a blink of an eye, so he took the list with both hands and said loudly: "My subordinates will definitely do their best to arrest him, please rest assured that Lord Zhao will definitely be seamless." ”

"Okay, I'm looking forward to your good news, go ahead." Zhao Gao waved his hand, Zhang Han turned around and left, at this time, Zhao Gao saw that Zhang Han had gone away, and opened the box sent by Zhang Han, inside, there were actually three hundred eridium gold, Zhao Gao couldn't help but be stunned, where did Zhang Han get so much gold?

。。。。。。

It was slightly dark, Zhang Han returned to his mansion, his home is located on Mindong Street, at this time his son Zhang Ping had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw his father coming back, he immediately greeted him, accompanied Zhang Han back to the study, took off his leather armor for him, and couldn't help asking: "Daddy, what did Lord Zhao say?" ”

Zhang Han looked at his son and sighed: "Your Majesty has promised to be promoted to father and take up the post of Shaofu." ”

Zhang Ping was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "That son is going to congratulate his father." ”

At this time, Zhang Han let out a long sigh and sighed: "However, this official position has to be exchanged for the lives of countless people, and I feel uneasy." ”

"What's going on?" Zhang Ping couldn't help asking, Zhang Han patted his son on the shoulder, and the two sat down, at this time, Zhang Han smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Zhao Gao asked me to arrest all the people who supported Fusu in the DPRK and China at all costs, and also to arrest Confucianism, Dasuo for ten days, arrest Lu Sheng, the pressure is very great......

"What does this matter have to do with Confucianism?" Zhang Ping was puzzled, if it was Zhao Gao who wanted to arrest some officials, then what did the Confucian scholars have to do with him? Why arrest Confucianism?

Zhang Han saw that his son was puzzled, he couldn't help laughing, he was puzzled at first, but on the way back, he meditated hard, and finally realized the taste, if it was just Zhao Gao's disgust with Confucianism, he didn't dare to let himself arrest Confucianism so blatantly, if a large-scale arrest, among them, may really be instructed by the First Emperor, then, if this matter can be done well, perhaps, it will leave a good impression in the heart of the First Emperor.

Zhang Han got up and walked to the window, pushed open the window, at this time it was completely dark outside, the moon and stars flashed in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled every corner of the yard.

But if he listens to Zhao Gao's arrangement and eradicates the Fusu henchmen, then he will be the enemy of Fusu, unless he wholeheartedly supports Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, otherwise, Fusu will definitely die when he ascends the throne, and he will not ......! It's not that he will die, but he is all over the house, thinking of this, Zhang Han's back is wet with sweat.

Thinking that there was no turning back, Zhang Han began to regret it, he was very thorough about himself, in order to be promoted, he actually colluded with Zhao Gao, if the Zhang family was really beheaded because of this incident, after his death, how to see the ancestors and ancestors, how to re-enter the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family?

But it's too late to regret it, I can only support Hu Hai, as long as Hu Hai ascends the throne, everything will pass, thinking of this, Zhang Han let out a long sigh, and two lines of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes......
