Days on end.

The city of Xianyang is very quiet.

It was as if they were all waiting for the decree of the First Emperor to be issued.

Compared with the silence in the city, Hu Hai was entangled by Zhao Gao.

In the palace.

Zhao Gao bowed and said with a bitter face: "Childe, you should go and fulfill the promise you made before." ”

Hear the words.

Hu Hai frowned, and said curiously: "What promise did I make?" ”

Zhao Gao chuckled: "But Gongzi forgot, a few months ago, Gongzi went to Lingnan and promised one thing in front of the soldiers of the whole army, that is, these soldiers returned from the army and will be greeted in the city. ”

"The prince is born noble, if it is spread out, it will lose the face of the royal family."

"Now these soldiers are stationed in the barracks, waiting for the official order of the imperial court, if Childe does not hurry up, wait until these soldiers return to their respective places, or go to Kanto to serve, Childe will no longer be able to fulfill his promise."

Hu Hai's face was abrupt.

After Zhao Gao's reminder, he had already reacted.

At that time, he said vigorously in the South China Sea, and indeed said this in front of the soldiers of the whole army, but he really said it casually at that time, so he didn't take it to heart at all, and the South China Sea army was full of 500,000 people, if he went to greet everyone in person, wouldn't he be exhausted to death in the future?

Hu Hai was a little reluctant.

Looked at.

Zhao Gao hurriedly admonished: "Childe, you really can't shirk this time, this is what Gongzi promised himself in the South China Sea, and this is the first batch of soldiers to return to Xianyang, or His Royal Highness went to the South China Sea to personally bring it back, it is of great significance to the old Qin people in Guanzhong, Gongzi must not break his word, if there are soldiers returning to Xianyang in the future, the ministers will definitely not persuade them, but this time, Gongzi must fulfill it." ”

"Don't be unfaithful."

"What's more, Childe is the son of His Majesty?!"

Hu Hai hesitated for a while, but also nodded.

He said: "You are right, this is the first batch of soldiers to return to Xianyang, although the number is not much, but it is of special significance, as the prince of Great Qin, I should fulfill the promise of the past, and most of these soldiers left home for ten years, if I do not fulfill the promise, I am afraid that I will be criticized in the future, this will fall into the mouth, if it falls into the ears of my father, I am afraid that I will be dissatisfied." ”

"You can go down and arrange it for me."

"Childe Gaoyi." Zhao Gao's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly nodded in response.

Then.

Hu Hai seemed to remember something.

He looked at Zhao Gao and said, "You remember to tell Ji Heng for me, I won't be able to go over in the past few days, and then I will go over after I finish dealing with these things, so that he can remember to leave me some good things." ”

Hear the words.

Zhao Gao's eyes showed a hint of resentment.

He tried his best to think about Hu Hai so wholeheartedly, but Hu Hai was full of only Ji Heng.

This made Zhao Gao's heart extremely angry.

He just couldn't figure it out.

I have served Hu Hai for more than ten years, and since Hu Hai can remember, I have been serving by my side, never pretending to others, which can be described as conscientious, but what did Hu Hai do to himself? On the contrary, he is more wary of himself, but he has been with Hu Hai for more than ten years?

More than ten years of getting along, but no match for a year or two of first acquaintance?

Zhao Gao clenched his fists, and his eyes were very unwilling.

He was really unwilling.

Because of this Ji Heng, Hu Hai began to deliberately distance himself from himself, if he didn't take the initiative to find Hu Hai, Hu Hai wouldn't even take the initiative to find himself once, and even for Ji Heng's few foolish words, he would rather give up the throne.

How ridiculous is that?!

Although his heart was full of resentment, Zhao Gao still had a smile on his face, and he nodded and said, "The minister remembers, and I will send someone to pass the word later, please rest assured." ”

Hu Hai nodded.

Waiting for Hu Hai to leave the side hall, Zhao Gao's eyes instantly turned cold.

He looked at the direction where Hu Hai was going, his eyes showed irrepressible anger and anger, he suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Hu Hai, am I not good to you?" Thinking about you everywhere, everything is based on you, and you are even eager to dig out your heart and liver for you, why do you want to believe in a remnant of the Six Kingdoms? ”

"What's so good about him?"

"Can he take the throne for you?"

"Can he buy hearts and minds for you? Soliciting courtiers? ”

"Has he ever thought about you?"

"Nope!"

"From beginning to end, only I, Zhao Gao, am dedicated to you, why are you so ignorant? Why would you rather believe in an outsider than believe in my Zhao Gao's pure heart? ”

"Childe, how confused are you!!"

After complaining for a while, Zhao Gao finally adjusted his mentality, his face returned to naturalness, and then walked out of the side hall.

He had other things to do.

Now Hu Hai has promised to fulfill his promise.

He can indeed make a big fuss about this, this is also what he made for the courtiers, to let others see that Hu Hai still has desires and ambitions.

Especially as soon as the court meeting opened this time, more and more officials had a disagreement with Fusu, which undoubtedly gave Hu Hai an opportunity to go further.

So Zhao Gao cherished this opportunity.

He just wants to seize every opportunity as much as possible to bring Hu Hai back into the public eye, and then secretly continue to cultivate his own power, and finally achieve a confrontation with Fusu, or even replace him.

He believes.

As long as Hu Hai replaces Fusu.

He will definitely be able to raise his eyebrows, and even go further.

Come to think of this.

Even with Zhao Gao's city mansion, he couldn't help but be excited for a while.

He's been silent for too long.

He was no longer willing to remain so silent.

Zhao Gao walked out of the palace.

Then he went straight to the county office.

He didn't know how to pass the word himself, but he was also very curious about what kind of character Ji Heng was, who could fascinate Hu Hai and forget to return, and even a little happy.

With the words of the little official, soon, Zhao Gao was led to the lobby.

And Xianyang Ling didn't dare to slack off, almost three steps and two steps, and walked quickly in front of Zhao Gao.

Yan Le flattered: "Uncle (father-in-law), why do you have time to come to me today?" ”

Zhao Gao glanced at Yan Le lightly and asked, "Are you still suitable for this Xianyang Order?" Have you ever been negligent in political affairs? ”

Yan Le hurriedly said: "Uncle rest assured, for more than a month, I have been sleeping at night, almost staying in the county office, I don't dare to make any omissions, I know that it is not easy for my uncle to seek this Xianyang order for me." ”

Hear the words.

Zhao Gao looked relieved.

Yan Le can take up the Xianyang Order, and he can be said to have worked hard.

Previously, because of himself, Yan Le was dismissed by the imperial court and has been idle at home, and he is becoming more and more unpowerful later, so the resurgence is even more far away, but recently, as Zhao Gao and Du He and others move more and more frequently, this matter has taken a turn for the better.

A month ago.

Under Zhao Gao's repeated strong recommendations, Du He and the others finally nodded, reactivated Yan Le, and made him the Xianyang Commander.

Yan Le knew that his Xianyang Order was not easy to come by, and he didn't dare to have any negligence during this time, lest he catch the handle for others, or fall into his tongue, and eventually lose his position, so he has always been cautious.

Don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

Although impatience gradually grew in his heart, he never dared to show it.

He knows that once he is dismissed again, or deposed, if he wants to rise again, it will be difficult to climb to the sky, even if it is Zhao Gao, I am afraid that he will not be able to move around for himself anymore.

Zhao Gao smiled and said slowly: "I came to you this time, I have something to explain to you, I have already told Gongzi that Gongzi will go out again in a few days, which is very important for us at the moment, but you can't interfere for the time being, what I have given you to do this time is very simple, that is, go to Xicheng, Ji Heng's residence." ”

"Touch this person for me."

Hear the words.

Yan Le's complexion changed slightly.

He was very familiar with the name Ji Heng.

None of them.

Zhao Gao has not mentioned this name in the past two years, and every time he mentions it, he grits his teeth, eager to crush Ji Heng's bones and ashes on the spot, so he also keeps Ji Heng's name firmly in his heart.

"I'm going?" Yan Le was a little unconfident.

Ji Heng is a person who even Zhao Gao is extremely afraid of, let him test it, wouldn't this make him sacrifice his ugliness?

Looked at.

Zhao Gao snorted coldly: "I didn't let you test Ji Heng, I just asked you to pass the word, by the way, take a look at this person for me, if you can get something out of it, then it would be great, if you can't, don't force it." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't walk around, how would I let you do it?!"

Hear the words.

Yan Le secretly breathed a sigh of relief this time.

He asked, "Uncle, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Gao's eyes closed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You don't have to do too much, just explain what Gongzi will not pass in the next few days, and test this person's attitude towards Gongzi by the way." ”

"In addition, pay attention to it, his reaction when he heard that you were Xianyang Ling, this person is a smart person, your official position in Xianyang Ling is not too big or small, this time it is you who personally go to pass the word, and you can also show some things, that is, Gongzi still has someone secretly supporting."

"At the same time, there are also some dissatisfaction that can be secretly expressed."

"He understands it."

Yan Le's eyes flickered, and he already understood Zhao Gao's intentions.

Zhao Gao let himself go this time, firstly, to test the closeness of Ji Heng and Hu Hai, and secondly, to show that the forces standing behind Hu Hai were already a little dissatisfied with Ji Heng's behavior.

Yan Le's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said with compassion: "Uncle, rest assured, the son-in-law will definitely handle this matter beautifully." ”

Zhao Gao nodded.

In fact, he also wanted Yan Le to reveal the matter of the court discussion to Ji Heng, so that Ji Heng knew that Fusu had gradually become unpopular, and Hu Hai had a good chance to ascend to the throne in the future, but after pondering for a while, he still gave up this thought.

Yan Le's official position is a little low after all.

It is not appropriate for him to be the 'leaker'.

He said slowly: "I am still relieved that you do things." ”

"I know that you have always been impatient, and it is a little wronged for you to be the Xianyang Order, but now that the situation is like this, I can only force you, and the position of the Xianyang Decree is very important, in fact, many Lang officials in the DPRK and China are worried about it, if I hadn't moved around many times, it would not have fallen on your head at all, and now there are more and more differences between the DPRK and China, and there are more and more opportunities left for us."

"You're going to have to settle down a little bit in the past few years."

"When the opportunity comes, I'll make arrangements for you."

Hear the words.

Yan Le's face was overjoyed.

He really didn't want to be this Xianyang Order.

There are too many trivia.

Xianyang is the national capital, with a population of millions, and there is the imperial court watching at it, and he has to deal with all kinds of affairs big and small, and he has only been in Xianyang for less than two months, and he has lost more than ten pounds.

Now that I heard Zhao Gao's words, I was also refreshed.

He was thinking very clearly.

Once Hu Hai really competes for the position of prince, then he will be able to soar into the sky, and then he will be able to enter the court easily, and he will no longer have to look at other people's eyes.

Yan Le said happily: "Uncle, don't worry, I know." ”

"I will never dare to embarrass my uncle."

How could Zhao Gao not know who Yan Le was.

He smiled and said: "Recently, the court has changed a lot, many wavering officials, gradually dissatisfied with Fusu, these days Fusu has been walking around in the major official offices, wanting to implement the promise he made in the South China Sea, but he has not hit a wall, Fusu is the prince of Great Qin, you should also understand the meaning of this, so as long as you do it well, I will not be able to treat you badly in the future." ”

Yan Le nodded and said, "Son-in-law understands." ”

Zhao Gao bowed his head, did not continue to stay, stepped on the snow, and strode away.

When Zhao Gao walked away, Yan Le was full of joy.

He said proudly: "I, Yan Le, am I going to be bitter?" ”

"Since my uncle's accident last time, I haven't encountered anything good, now not only the official has been reinstated, but even promoted, more importantly, Hu Hai Gongzi has the possibility of going further, once Hu Hai Gongzi goes further, it is the Great Qin Prince, and if it goes further, it will be Qin II, once Hu Hai Gongzi becomes Qin II, the relationship between my uncle and Hu Hai Gongzi, will I not also take one step to the sky?"

"And now the opportunities are getting bigger and bigger."

"Is it really a pole?"

Yan Le shook his head, looking very happy.

After a burst of joy, he also calmed down and began to face up to the matter that Zhao Gao handed over to him, he muttered: "Let me test Ji Heng, this is a bit difficult, but even if Ji Heng is powerful, he is only a humble leader, I am a dignified Xianyang Ling, how can I be afraid of him?" How dare he really make things difficult for me? ”

Yan Le snorted coldly and said in a loud voice: "Come on, prepare a carriage and horses for me, this official is going to go out." ”

After giving the order, Yan Le glanced at the bamboo slips on the case, showing a touch of irritability in his eyes, and finally turned his head directly, out of sight and out of mind, and waited until the little official prepared the carriage and horses, Yan Le dressed up, got into the carriage, and walked straight towards Xicheng.

Ji Heng's residence.

He'd already inquired about it.

It's just that there was no excuse in the past, and once you get close, someone will stop you, but this time with Hu Hai's password, everything will no longer be a problem.

He was actually very curious about what kind of sacredness this Ji Heng was, and he could make his uncle feel like a great enemy.

Not much.

Yan Le's carriage stopped.

It's just that instead of stopping at Ji Heng's door, he was stopped across the street.

Even if Yan Le said that he was giving orders for Hu Hai, he still couldn't let him go, and in the end, Yan Le couldn't be stubborn, so he could only walk on foot, but this time he came and went, and there was no arrogance between them.

Then.

Ji Heng already knew about Yan Le's arrival.
