Chapter 120: Zhao Gao: Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine
Mess with Qin!
The First Emperor is old, and if he wants to overthrow the tyrannical Qin and restore the homeland of the Six Kingdoms, he can only count on his successor, who is a straw bale. And the eighteenth prince in front of him, who is ambitious, a little ambitious, the most favored by the first emperor, partial and incapacitated, and even a little ignorant and short-sighted, is naturally the best candidate.
Originally, everything was going well.
didn't use his own people to shoot, the eldest son Fusu, who was resolute and brave, believed in people, and was generous, and quite politically far-sighted, was stunned by Chun Yuyue's old thing, and even repeatedly contradicted the first emperor, and he lost himself!
Next, it is logical for this straw bag boy to take the position, and it can be said that the situation is very good.
Who knows, and suddenly killed a stunning and brilliant emperor's eldest grandson!
Many people may not realize the danger behind this, but Li Shiqi has already smelled an unusual meaning, so he got a few old friends, rushed to Xianyang, and threw himself into the eighteenth prince who was "thirsty for talent".
And he, Li Shiqi, also successfully became one of the most trusted disciples of the Eighteen Princes.
"Childe, the power of the emperor's eldest grandson is already like a prairie fire, if the prince waits for it and sits back and watches it come to fruition, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it......"
Hu Hai's face was cloudy, looking at this doorman who had always been scheming and discerning, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes.
"Li Gong's words are exaggerated, although he has the favor of His Majesty, he is only an imperial grandson after all......"
Li Shiqi knew that the eighteenth prince had already listened to his words.
His eyes did not shy away from looking directly at Hu Hai in front of him.
"Your Majesty swept the six countries and ruled the world, which is an unprecedented pattern, and most of the decrees of the DPRK and China have been created and never existed, and the position of the East Palace, who stipulates that the prince must be needed......"
Hu Hai's face suddenly changed greatly.
He had always just felt that he had been robbed of the favor of the First Emperor by Zhao Ying, and he never thought that that dog thing would have the possibility of inheriting the position of the First Emperor.
Li Shiqi's words shocked him.
Looking at Hu Hai, whose face had changed greatly and was already in chaos, Li Shiqi couldn't help but twist his beard and smiled indifferently.
"Don't be impatient, although the eldest grandson of the emperor seems to be full of flowers and the limelight is infinite, in fact, the advantage is still on the side of the son, and now the son is not only expected, but also the wings are getting fuller......"
Speaking of this, Li Shiqi glanced at Hu Hai meaningfully.
"Now, the prince has responded to every call, why do you sit back and watch the eldest grandson gradually erode the opportunities that should belong to you, and remain indifferent and refuse to act?"
Hu Hai's eyes struggled.
Li Shiqi's expression was indifferent, and his words were serious.
"The son treats the minister with sincerity, and the minister can only treat the son wholeheartedly. Today, when the minister said this, he was not trying to make trouble, but thinking that there were some things that no one would send to you, and those who should fight must fight, otherwise I am afraid that I will regret ......it."
Hu Hai looked up at Li Shiqi, who looked calm and looked at him.
After a long time, Hu Hai let out a long breath, and his tone was inexplicably authentic.
"You said yesterday that you were going to try to impeach Zhao Ying, but when I went today, His Majesty was still discussing state affairs with Zhao Ying, and he was very close, and he didn't even have the time to see me......
Hearing Hu Hai's questioning, Li Shiqi couldn't help but smile.
"Why should Childe worry - Childe can know that three people become tigers and work hard for a long time? We originally knew that it was impossible to have any impact on the emperor's eldest grandson with those tricks alone, and the reason why the minister proposed to ask the prince to mobilize people and keep impeaching him was because this was a plan to kill three birds with one stone......"
Hu Hai looked at Li Shiqi with some confusion.
"One, no matter how talented and intelligent the emperor's eldest grandson is, he is only a teenager, and he should always have some youthful temperament. Once he is to blame at every turn, he is attacked and impeached, does Childe think he can turn a blind eye? If his mind is in turmoil, his behavior will be inappropriate, and once he behaves inappropriately and mistakes occur frequently, it will in turn disturb his mind. Once you lose ground, you often do something wrong, or you are embarrassed and angry, and you take revenge......"
Speaking of this, the corners of Li Shiqi's eyes couldn't help but show a smug smile.
"When the time comes, Childe thinks that His Majesty will still be able to favor him as much as he does now......"
When Hu Hai heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but ask.
"And what about the second one......
"Second, Childe is now the trend of the times, and he has responded to all calls to cast a carp like crossing the river, but Childe has not expressed anything, if he does not properly show his strength and show some enterprising attitude, how can he reassure people who have high hopes for Childe?"
When Hu Hai heard this, he couldn't help but think about it.
In the past, he just wanted to be like the eldest brother Fusu, learning how to solve problems for the first emperor and gather the power of the court, but he really didn't think about dealing with the eldest nephew who robbed him of his favor.
As soon as Li Shiqi said this, he suddenly found that he seemed to have really ignored this aspect of the problem in the past. It is hopeless to follow a prince who has no ambitions, and he has been waiting dryly, how can he reassure those forces who have taken refuge in him?
No wonder some people have been ambiguous and unwilling to express their position!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think three points higher in his heart.
"And what—"
Hu Hai already had a somewhat respectful look on his face.
Li Shiqi smiled slightly.
"Third, naturally, three people become tigers, ordinary people, ignorant and ignorant, like chickens, guineas and dogs, driving the east to the east, and leading to the west to the west, if the emperor's eldest grandson is frequently impeached by hundreds of officials, but His Majesty has been ignoring it, then how will the people of the world think, as long as they are guided a little——"
Speaking of this, Li Shiqi looked at Hu Hai and smiled without saying a word.
Hu Hai couldn't help but suddenly realize.
"Mr. Zhenguo is unparalleled, Mr. Lonely, like a tiger with wings!"
Looking at Hu Hai, who was bowing in front of him, Li Shiqi couldn't help but slightly upturn the corners of his mouth, and the disdain in his eyes flashed. His face showed a touch of touching when he met a confidant, and he spread his sleeves and bowed in return.
"Thanks to the son's refusal to give up, although the minister is dull, he is willing to serve the son of dogs and horses......"
It doesn't matter what the people think, as long as Hu Hai can mobilize hundreds of officials in the court, he will find a reason to impeach His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson every once in a while, and his confidant will be able to take the opportunity to guide him.
Although Qin won the world, if it was about his influence among the people of the Six Kingdoms, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms would not necessarily be inferior by half a point.
……
Zhao Ying didn't know that someone had already regarded him as a threat and started a series of actions against him.
At this time, he had already discussed the general framework with the First Emperor, and was holding a glass of boiled water, lazily reclining on the back of the chair, and continuing to discuss the details of the follow-up with the First Emperor who was squinting slowly on the rocking chair.
"Father, if you want to find a storyteller, I think those Confucian scholars are a good candidate, they can read, they can write, they don't talk well, and they can reason with people with weapons——"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but be happy.
The First Emperor couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the tea in the cup almost splashed on his face. It was the first time he had heard someone describe that group of Confucian scholars like this, and he couldn't help but laugh and scold angrily.
"How can you arrange people like this, if you let Chun Yuyue's old guy listen to it, it is estimated that he will be so angry that he will vomit blood——"
After laughing, the First Emperor groaned for a moment, and then nodded slightly approvingly.
"Yes, a good candidate—"
First of all, Confucianism has begun to actively move closer to itself, not only putting forward the idea of great unification, but also giving public lectures in the Xishui Thatched Cottage and debating with various families, which can be regarded as its own people.
Although Chun Yuyue did not ask questions in the court, and did not re-serve as a doctor in the court, his two personal disciples have been selected into the court and served as a doctor.
Secondly, Confucianism is a manifestation of the world's learning, and it has a great influence on the people, and the benevolence and love of the people he advocated let the people have a kind of nature for them, and it is naturally better for them to be the storytellers.
That's right, in today's situation where the media is underdeveloped and the literacy rate of the common people is not high, the best way Zhao Ying thought of is to cultivate a group of storytellers.
Write the story of Daqin, tell the story of Daqin, and let them, a group of Confucian students, act as the tongue of Daqin and guide the vanguard of public opinion.
Public opinion is like a fertile field, if you don't take care of it and don't plant it, it will naturally be covered with all kinds of weeds!
Zhao Ying felt that Da Qin in his previous life suffered losses on this, too tough, too domineering, and too eager, but he did not seize the extremely important position of public opinion, nor did he do a good job of communication and guidance, and allowed the remnants of the Six Kingdoms to fan the flames in various places, spread rumors, and guide public opinion, which led to the people of the world treating Da Qin as a snake and scorpion.
And the first emperor put on a tyrannical hat, and Daqin has also become the bamboo of the South Mountain, the book is not exhausted, the waves of the East China Sea are broken, and the evil is inexhaustible!
He didn't know how much of a role his move would play, but he knew that if he didn't do it, it would be tantamount to sitting and waiting to die, giving up this position to others.
Became a proper fool!
Zhao Ying, who consciously took a small step forward on the road of saving his life, was in a much better mood, chatted with the First Emperor a few more words, and was about to get up and go to the recruit camp to have a look.
As soon as he got up, he saw Zhao Gao holding a black gold-painted tray, taking small steps from the outside, walking briskly.
"Your Majesty, this is this month, Han Zhongjin has offered a total of twenty-five pills, I have personally tested them, all of them are in good condition, they are rare treasures......"
The first emperor's elixir has always been in charge of Zhao Gao, and today is the time to offer it again.
This is the first time Zhao Ying has encountered someone offering pills to the First Emperor, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, stopped at the moment, stood aside, and quietly swept the tray held by Zhao Hao.
There is a small bottle of mutton fat white jade on the top of the tray, the color is warm and moist, and it looks extremely high-end.
When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but perk up and sat up straight.
"Bring it in—"
Zhao Gao held the tray high, half-kneeling in front of the First Emperor, the First Emperor reached out and picked up the vial on the tray, uncorked the bottle, put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed it slightly, and then poured out another one, put it in the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Not bad, the color is bright, the medicinal fragrance is fragrant, the size is uniform, and the quality is good—it seems that Han Zhong's alchemy has grown again......"
The First Emperor said, pinched a pill, and was about to swallow it, but Zhao Ying's eyelids couldn't help jumping.
"Father, let me see—"
As he spoke, Zhao Ying reached out and took the pill in the hand of the First Emperor.
It's just an elixir, and the First Emperor is not in a hurry, looking at him happily from the side.
"If you like it, I can divide a few of them, and then let Han Zhong refine it again......"
For Zhao Ying's grandson, the first emperor has always been very atmospheric.
Zhao Yingle thanked him, and took the pill in his hand with interest and admired it carefully for a while, looking like the Chinese medicine pills of later generations, but it looked better, not only round and shiny, but also smelled a faint medicinal fragrance.
It's quite bluffing to look at.
However, his heart is like a mirror, this thing is made of some heavy metals and some messy Chinese herbs.
Eating it will not kill people on the spot, but the damage to the body is long-lasting.
"I can't see any name for this thing, can I really prolong my life if I eat it?"
Zhao Ying pretended to be puzzled and looked at Zhao Gao on the side.
"This is carefully refined by Han Zhong, it takes only a month to get a furnace, it costs a lot, it is not easy to get, naturally there will be no fake ......"
When Zhao Ying heard this, he looked at the First Emperor with a smile.
"Father, is it really so amazing?"
The First Emperor laughed.
"Over the years, I have been taking the elixir refined by Han Zhong himself, and every time I take it, I feel that my body is light, and even my spirit is much better......
Zhao Ying: ......
It sounds quite similar to the five stone scatters and the like in later generations, which can stimulate people's nerves and give people a temporary sense of excitement.
As he spoke, the First Emperor poured out another one and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and then soon, his face showed a comfortable look, his face was slightly flushed, and his voice seemed to be much louder than just now.
"Yes, the effect this time is better than the last time, pass on my will, reward the warlock Han Dong's daughter, silk hundred horses, and all precious herbs are like the old ......"
Then, the First Emperor asked people to take a small jade bottle with a similar appearance, poured out seven or eight pills very generously and carefully filled them, and then turned around and handed them to Zhao Ying, who was standing aside with "greed".
"It's a reward for you—"
After speaking, the First Emperor turned his head and ordered Zhao Gao.
"Next time, let Han Zhong practice more and send it over, what do you need, just ask Shi Shaofu to withdraw ......"
Zhao Gao glanced at the jade bottle in Zhao Ying's hand with some envy, and then responded respectfully.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Ying couldn't cry or laugh, look at this posture, this is a good thing that both of them think. However, as soon as he thought of today's arrangement for Chen Ping, he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Gao, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
This smile fell in the eyes of the First Emperor, and he thought that he was a rewarded elixir, and he was happy in his heart.
But Zhao Gao didn't know why, he always felt that in the smile of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson today, he seemed to have a little ill intentions towards himself.
