Chapter Seventy-Two: Hu Hai has become a laughing stock, and Zhao Gao's blackening is imminent.
Zhao Si was discussing employment matters with Zhang Cang, and on the other side, inside Hu Hai's frame, Zhao Gao looked gloomy.
After the New Year, the First Emperor became more and more estranged from Zhao Gao.
Although Zhao Gao's position in the Chefu Order has not changed for the time being, some of the previous jobs that were exclusive to Zhao Gao began to be handed over to others by the First Emperor, and even the First Emperor rarely summoned Zhao Gao to obey orders.
This made Zhao Gao feel a very serious sense of crisis.
Of course, Hu Hai is not having a good time.
Since Dongjun's assassination of Hu Hai was revealed, many people began to disapprove of Hu Hai, and even regarded Hu Hai as a disgrace to the royal family, and the First Emperor became more and more alienated from Hu Hai.
The royal family of the old Qin people can rebel and usurp power, but only cowardice cannot be tolerated.
In the face of the assassination, Hu Hai, as the son of the royal family, not only did not have the courage to draw his sword against him, but was even frightened and fled in a hurry, shouting for his father to save me......
Hu Hai's cowardice once became the laughing stock of the Qin State, and Wei Jiu's father and son, who assassinated the First Emperor, won the praise of the world, and Hu Hai's cowardice became a sharp sword to stab the First Emperor.
Yo, I hope that the son who came to Yingzheng is a soft egg!
"On the trip to Dongjun, I made a big mistake, if people laugh at me today, and also shame my father, how can I make up for it?" Hu Hai sighed.
"The real husband is the one who knows shame and is brave, and if the son can know this, he should be brave and diligent." Zhao Gao groaned.
Zhao Gao didn't want to comfort Hu Hai, but he had to be comforted, no way, no matter how unbearable Hu Hai was, but from the time he pushed Hu Hai to look forward to that position, he had already been bound to Hu Hai.
Hearing this, Hu Hai showed a wry smile on his face.
The apprehension and ambition at the time of the trip have become notorious now, and Hu Hai can't react quickly.
"Teacher... Forget it, I can't grasp it. Hu Hai flinched.
What qualifications does he have to look forward to that position now?
Especially when he was infamous, the eldest brother made a great contribution to defeating the Xiongnu in Shangjun.
From any point of view, Fusu's position is almost a certainty.
Taking a step back, even if Fusu angered the First Emperor again, Hu Hai would not have the slightest chance, and the First Emperor had more than two sons, even if there was no Fusu, it would not be Hu Hai's turn to become a disgrace to the Great Qin royal family.
"It is not advisable to be willing to fall." Zhao Gao shook his head.
"I made a big mistake, how dare I expect such a thing now? Now I just hope that my father can forgive me, my eldest brother is very good to me, I just hope to wait until my eldest brother succeeds to the throne and be a king in peace. Hu Hai shook his head.
Hu Hai still trusts Fusu very much.
Fusu was widely praised and trusted among the brothers, which is why the first emperor did not have a prince so far, but Fusu is still expected by everyone.
More than a dozen brothers all obeyed the Su.
Hu Hai is instinctively trusting Fusu.
But this kind of thinking is not what Zhao Gao wants.
"Childe..."Zhao Gao sighed quietly.
"The eldest prince has repeatedly angered His Majesty because of the division of the feud, and the prince has made a big mistake, and now he has disgraced the royal family, where is there still a fief to obtain?" Zhao Gao said.
Hu Hai was stunned, and his expression was a little stiff.
Then there was a frustrated lament.
"Even so, it's my fault......" Hu Hai replied gloomily.
Contend? What to fight for?
Hu Hai is not a fool, what qualifications does he have to fight in this situation?
To gamble on a losing ending, it is better for Hu Hai to wait for his eldest brother to reward himself with a fief after his kindness succeeds to the throne.
Zhao Gao didn't say anything more, his goal had been achieved.
Of course, he didn't push Hu Hai to continue to compete for the position of prince in such an extremely disadvantageous situation.
In today's situation, Hu Hai's situation can be said to be difficult to save by immortals.
Through normal political means and operations, Hu Hai has lost the possibility of victory.
What he needs is just to leave a wedge in Hu Hai's heart, not to be completely depressed, and he no longer dares to have the slightest illusion.
He doesn't need Hu Hai to be capable, what he needs is that when the opportunity comes, Hu Hai must be able to stand up.
After Zhao Gao and Hu Hai resigned, they inspected the ministers who were responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation for the first emperor, and all the frames, imperial kitchens, and all summoned them to inspect.
It stands to reason that the imperial chefs, imperial doctors, chariots and horses, and maids in the palace are basically all within Zhao Gao's control.
Although the first emperor gradually alienated Zhao Gao's rights, as long as his name of the CRRC government order was not resigned, then he was still the biggest one in the palace, and he still had the ability to command the ministers.
"It's almost ......"
Zhao Gao looked up at the sky, winter has gone, warm spring has arrived, and in a few months it will be another year of scorching summer.
"Your Majesty...... Next ......"
Zhao Gao rubbed his eyes and let out a long breath.
King Qin has his own big mind!
was able to promote him, the remnant of the Zhao State, among the many slaves.
Even for a long time, the mind and personality charm of the First Emperor really convinced Zhao Gao and made Zhao Gao forget his hatred.
There is no way, the first emperor gave too much.
There is no room for him to be unfaithful to the king.
However, as the gift given by the First Emperor was gradually withdrawn, the things that had been buried began to quietly emerge in Zhao Gao's heart.
History changes quietly.
In the original history, until the death of the First Emperor, Hu Hai never lost the qualification to compete for the prince, Zhao Gao did not fall out of favor until the end, and the arrogant man never had special precautions and attention to Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.
But the appearance of Zhao Si made everything a little different.
Because of Zhao Si, the future of Great Qin was gradually improving, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms had to hurriedly launch assassinations and strikes against Great Qin.
Hu Hai fled in embarrassment and lost his qualification to compete for the crown prince, and the First Emperor alienated Zhao Gao, so that Zhao Gao had to make an emergency response.
And the most critical change lies in the first emperor's defense of Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.
This stems from Zhao Si's attitude towards Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.
In the eyes of the First Emperor, although Zhao Si is a little out of the woods by nature, he is also a person who is extremely easy to accept the kindness of others.
Zhao Gao and Hu Hai have shown favor to Zhao Si countless times.
The strange thing is that from beginning to end, Zhao Si stayed away from Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, and never had any intention of making friends with the two.
This is a very abnormal thing, especially Zhao Gao and Hu Hai have never offended Zhao Si, nor have they done anything outrageously wrong, with Zhao Si's character, there is no reason to be so alienated from the two.
Zhao Si didn't like Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, and Emperor Shi could clearly feel it.
Perhaps it was all kinds of mysterious and mysterious things lingering, and the future of Zhao Si's return to Great Qin began to become clear, and even the First Emperor himself thought that Zhao Si was the auspicious Rui of Great Qin.
In this case, the First Emperor naturally subconsciously paid more attention to Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.
Especially when Hu Hai lost the qualification to compete for the prince, the first emperor began to think of replacing the order of the CRRC government, and Fusu made great contributions in Shangjun and returned to the dynasty at a critical juncture.
So......
Zhao Gao's actions were under the watchful eye of the First Emperor from beginning to end.
Including who Zhao Gao wrote the letter to and what the content of the letter was.
Even today, Zhao Gao visited Hu Hai and inspected and summoned the ministers.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Gao has brains after all, including what he said, what he did, and the content of the letter he wrote, strictly speaking, he couldn't find the slightest fault.
Many times, Zhao Gao is just laying the groundwork.
The First Emperor has always thought about things as bad as possible, and made all preparations, although from the current point of view, Zhao Gao is not abnormal, and Zhao Gao is likely to have no trouble by manipulating his ministers and other ways, but he still raised his vigilance.
Although Zhao Gao's various small actions are not a problem, they are too frequent, when they feel that a person has a problem, people will always subconsciously examine the other party's every move, and the First Emperor is no exception.
About today, Zhao Gao inspected and summoned the ministers, accompanied the frame and the imperial kitchen.
"Go and ask Xia Wu, just ......," the First Emperor waved his hand to signal the weakness of the report, and went to Xia Wu to inquire about it.
Aside from the rest, food safety should still be taken into account. Zhao Gao is the order of the CRRC government, and the possibility of Zhao Gao making a fuss in this regard must be eliminated.
He bowed weakly to receive the order and left quietly.
Outside the frame, Zhao Si was marching towards the First Emperor with the recommendation letter written by Zhang Cang.
Before coming to the drive, without any hesitation, Zhao Si climbed up with a familiar car, and then spoke.
"Minister Zhao Si, see Your Majesty."
The First Emperor in the driving room frowned slightly, and just said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”
Zhao Si was the main driver of the First Emperor's car, so under normal circumstances, Zhao Si sat outside the car most of the time.
As long as this kid speaks, he basically wants to come in and discuss.
Zhao Si immediately bent over and arched in when he heard the sound.
The First Emperor folded his hands and looked at Zhao Si and said, "Anyway, what's the matter?" ”
Zhao Si put the recommendation letter written by Zhang Cang on the desk and rubbed his hands with a smile.
"That's the case, the minister wants to recommend a few talents to fill the country, this is a letter of recommendation." Zhao Si pointed to the written recital on the white paper on the desk.
"Is it the doorman you've been recruiting lately?" The First Emperor asked.
Zhao Si has also heard a lot about the arrest of the door in recent days, after all, looking at history, Zhao Si's eclectic method of recruiting door guests is also extremely rare, and it has become one of the new things in the convoy for a while.
Zhao Si nodded.
"How many have you caught?" The First Emperor smiled.
"Catch ...... Please, six. Zhao Si sneered.
"Needless to say, Zhang Cang also has talents, and the minister is thinking about recommending them for national use."
"For national use?" The First Emperor smiled and looked at Zhao Si.
"Or is it for you?"
"Nature for the country! The minister has no idea of forming a party for personal gain! Zhao Si immediately stated his position.
The First Emperor just chuckled and didn't continue to tease Zhao Si, picking up the recommendation letters on the case and reading them one by one.
Zhao Si recommended four people.
Li Shiqi, Chen Ping, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang......
The First Emperor examined it for a long time, put down the recommendation letter, and then looked at Zhao Si with a smile.
"You didn't write it?"
Zhao Si's words are absolutely impossible to be so good-looking!
