Chapter 182: Wangyi Palace is in chaos
&e] After Zhang Han surrendered, Xiang Yu's Chu army drove straight into the Hangu Pass as if it had entered a no-man's land, and had been 'advancing' towards Hangu Pass. And Liu Bang broke through Wuguan and saw that he was about to 'advance' to the last barrier of Xianyang
These news reached Zhao Gao, who was very afraid that he had been 'blinded', Hu Hai said, "The strong man is not afraid", but now that people have hit the 'door' of the house, the lie is about to be exposed, if the second is investigated, he is afraid that it will be a capital crime, so he said that he was sick and did not go to see the second
After all, the way of heaven is clear, paper can't contain the fire, Qin II one day returned from hunting, as soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed that a tiger covered in snow-white skin 'hair' bit the horse in front of his car to death
Startled, he woke up from his sleep in a cold sweat and was sullen all night, and the next morning he summoned a fortune teller to interpret his dream
The soothsayer calculated that this was the cause of the water and that the god of water must be sacrificed to avoid the disaster
In order to avoid the disaster, the second immediately issued an edict and ordered the honor guard to escort him to the Wangyi Palace to bathe and pray in order to solve the disaster
Wangyi Palace is built near Jingshui, and looks at Beiyi from afar, so it is named after this palace, because it is far away from Xianyang, and the emperor is rarely in Lin, fortunately, it is very clean
Because the second came to worship and pray, he was worried that the palace would be displeased and displeased, so he did not bring the palace concubines
After the sacrifice, the second emperor had nothing to do and asked the close 'attendants' who were serving him: "I heard that the strong man outside made a 'chaos' Zhang Han was also defeated in the giant deer, now what happened to the robbers?" Have you been cut off by my Great Qin army? ”
The 'attendants' who followed him were stunned for a moment when they heard that the second emperor asked about the thieves' and their 'chaos', and then they knelt on the ground and before they could speak, they were already in tears
Seeing that the 'servant' looked like this, the second king's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Why are you like this, what is the matter of robbing the robbers?" ”
"Your Majesty," an older near-servant knelt on the ground and sobbed, "In the past few years, the 'chaos' of the robbers has not been settled, and now the Chu army has broken through the Wuguan and is about to 'force' Xianyang."
After hearing the words of the 'servant', the second emperor was suddenly stunned, his eyes were round, and he asked with a face full of disbelief: "Didn't the prime minister say that it was just a small stream of rogues, and he was not enough to be afraid?" Why is this the case now? ”
In the face of Hu Hai's questioning, the close 'servants' all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, as long as they took another word, I am afraid that what awaits them is Zhao Gao's ruthless revenge, these people have been in the palace for a long time, Hu Hai's incompetence and mediocrity, they have already seen it, and said it deeply, not only has no impact on Zhao Gao at all, but will miss their own 'life'
"Immediately issued an edict to ask Zhao Gao why the robbers were rampant, concealed and did not report, and he immediately sent troops to resist the robbers who were 'pressing' close to Xianyang", seeing that the nearby 'attendants' did not speak, Hu Hai twisted his brows and said to them: "I am tired, I want to rest, you go down."
After receiving Hu Hai's edict, Zhao Gao was very afraid that Hu Hai would clearly 'reveal' his dissatisfaction with him in the edict, so he summoned his younger brother Zhao Cheng and his 'son-in-law' Yan Le into the mansion overnight to discuss how to deal with this crisis
"Hu Hai is already dissatisfied with me," Zhao Cheng and Yan Le arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Gao entered the secret room with them, and threw the edict in front of them and said: "This time, I'm afraid it's not easy to 'deceive' him again, whether I send troops or not, it's already a crime that cannot be punished, not to mention that now there are no soldiers to send in the court, where can I get soldiers and horses to defend against the robbers."
"What do you mean, big brother?" Zhao Cheng picked up the edict and briefly browsed it and asked Zhao Gao
Zhao Gao frowned, a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and said to Zhao Cheng and Yan Le: "I want to ask for 'sex' and don't do anything, and now Hu Hai is still in Wangyi Palace, and you take advantage of him not returning to the court, you and others will lead people to break through Wangyi Palace and kill him, this Great Qin's world, the Ying clan can sit down, why can't our Zhao clan sit still?" ”
"What the eldest brother said is that just breaking through the Wangyi Palace is a great crime of rebellion, if there is a slight mistake, our Zhao family's full 'door' will not be spared, and all of them will be cut in half" For the killing of Hu Hai, Zhao Cheng was still a little apprehensive, he hesitated for a moment and said: "If you really want to oppose the eldest brother, you must sit in the court to avoid the news from being exposed, I will lead people to seal the road from Xianyang to Wangyi Palace, block all the messengers who come and go, as for the breach of Wangyi Palace, this matter will be 'handed over' to Yan Le to handle, he has a lot of dead soldiers under the 'gate', and it is better to be more sure of it."
Zhao Gao nodded with a calm face and said to Yan Le: "Son-in-law, you immediately lead your troops out of Xianyang and go straight to Wangyi Palace, don't delay halfway, so as not to be seen by others about the purpose of our waiting."
"No," Yan Le replied, getting up and walking towards the secret room
"Brother, I will immediately enter the palace and convene all the ministers to discuss the matter of the thieves entering the customs, and 'confuse' their hearing and hearing, and you will immediately lead the soldiers and horses to block the road from Xianyang to Wangyi Palace, you have two things that must be done, one is to stop the messengers from Xianyang and Wangyi Palace, and the other is to pay close attention to the road situation, if Yan Le fails to kill Hu Hai, you will attack him halfway on the road."
"No" Zhao Cheng also answered and left the secret room
Zhao Gao stood with his hands behind him facing the wall, his brows were tightly locked, and after a long time, he said to himself: "Hu Hai, I originally wanted you to be a free emperor, if you really ignore the government and are willing to be a puppet, it's okay, now you dare to come and reprimand me, so it's useless to keep you so much, to the first emperor, you must not say bad things about me, and you are completely to blame for coming to this point."
After the edict of reprimanding Zhao Gao, Hu Hai's mood has not been very good, although he likes to have fun, but this country is also their winning family
The First Emperor originally hoped that the rivers and mountains of Great Qin could survive forever for thousands of years until they were immortal, but the rivers and mountains had only been in the hands of Hu Hai for only two lifetimes, and they had already declined to this point, even though Hu Hai was mediocre and incompetent, he still knew how to feel guilty
Several close 'waiters' accompanied Hu Hai, since he got up in the morning, Hu Hai has been sitting in the house, not frolicking with everyone as usual, his depressed mood also affected the close 'waiters', although there are several people standing in the room, but they are silent, and even the sound of people's panting can be heard clearly
"Your Majesty is not good," just when Hu Hai frowned and regretted it, the officer in charge of the garrison of Wangyi Palace pushed the 'door' and broke in, and as soon as the officer entered the 'door', he shouted to Hu Hai: "Xianyang ordered Yan Le to lead more than 1,000 people to attack Wangyi Palace, and there were only more than 100 guards in the palace, which was difficult to support, and asked Your Majesty to move quickly."
Hearing that Yan Le was plotting against Hu Hai, he was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "Isn't Yan Le Zhao Gao's 'daughter' in law?" Why did he rebel?"
"Alas, Your Majesty, isn't this clear? Zhao Gao reversed, "The officer sighed and shouted to the close attendants standing around: "Hurry up and escort Your Majesty out of Wangyi Palace."
A group of close 'waiters' came back to their senses and hurriedly picked up Hu Hai and ran out
As soon as he left the harem, he heard a shout of killing from outside, and a group of soldiers chased after the guards guarding the Wangyi Palace, and rushed in towards the inner palace
Although all of the guards had some effort, they were too few in number, and they were surrounded by the soldiers who rushed in, and although they fought hard, they still fell down one after another
The officer and a group of guards escorted Hu Hai to avoid the fighting rebels, detoured from the path and ran out, just ran out of the spur, and suddenly rushed out of the stab, a group of rebels rushed up, and then rushed straight towards Hu Hai
Seeing this, Hu Hai's close 'attendants' shouted and fled in all directions
The officer who had been guarding Hu Hai shouted to the only remaining 'attendant' beside him: "Quickly escort Your Majesty to the Inner Palace"
The 'attendant' had already been frightened by the rebels who suddenly rushed out, and the officer's roar made him come back to his senses, and he hurriedly pulled Hu Hai in the direction of the inner palace
When the rebels who rushed out saw Hu Hai fleeing, they all shouted in unison and chased after them
"Hugh your majesty," the officer shouted, swords, and rushed towards the rushing group of rebels
The rebels had basically eliminated all the guards guarding the Wangyi Palace, and they didn't expect that this officer would dare to rush up when there was only one person
Stunned, the two rebels were slashed to the ground by the officers, and the rest of the rebels were also startled when they saw the officers' fierceness, but they stabbed at the officers with their spears in unison
The officer knew that he had no luck today, and he did not hide from it, allowing dozens of spears to pierce his body, and while the spears pierced into his body, he used his last strength to slash the saber in his hand into the 'door' of the head of a guard in front of him
After half a day of fighting, all the guards of Wangyi Palace were annihilated by the rebels, and Hu Hai fled into the inner palace under the escort of the only remaining inner 'servant' beside him
The inner palace is full of buildings, although it is conducive to hiding, but it is impossible to escape from the 'chaos'
Hu Hai sat on the ground blankly, since he ascended the throne, he has been 'handing' all the government to Zhao Gao for disposal, Zhao Gao has been impeached repeatedly, he has also ignored him, it can be said that Zhao Gao has been favored to the extreme
He didn't expect that it was this person who had always been the most favored by him, who not only corrupted the Great Qin Dynasty, and the flames of war were about to burn to Xianyang, but also openly sent people to attack Wangyi Palace, wanting to kill him completely
"You already knew these things that Zhao Gao did, didn't you?" Hu Hai sat on the ground, staring blankly at the 'door' and asked the 'waiter' beside him
The near-waiter didn't speak, just pursed his lips and lowered his head
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Hu Haimeng's round eyes glared at the 'servant' and shouted at him: "As the emperor, I have been 'blinded' by you, why do you hide it from me? ”
Seeing Hu Hai angry, the 'servant' knelt on the ground and cried and said: "It's not that the servant doesn't want to tell Your Majesty, it's because if I tell Your Majesty what Zhao Gao did, I'm afraid I won't be by Your Majesty's side today, there have been many people who have impeached Zhao Gao to Your Majesty, but those people have all been killed by Your Majesty's order, who dares to tell the truth to Your Majesty?" ”
