"What do you say? A secret letter from Xianyang? Hearing the letter, Zhao Gao's whole body was excited, as if he had been stimulated by something.

The little official on the side said in a low voice: "Back to the officer, it is indeed a letter from Xianyang, this is when the front team stopped, I went outside the barracks, someone stopped me on the way, and sent this letter to me, the person also named the surname, this letter can only be sent to the CRRC government order." ”

As he spoke, the little official handed over a letter with a 'mud seal'.

Hear the words.

Zhao Gao's face was ugly.

Although listening to the meaning of the little official, this letter is not known to outsiders, but the accompanying convoy is large, and there are many people, it may not be that no one really sees it.

Zhao Gao's eyes were fixed on this letter, and with just one glance, he could see the origin of the mud marks on it.

From Yan Le.

Zhao Gao was already shocked and angry in his heart.

When he was leaving, he had told Yan Le three times, there was no emergency, and he definitely didn't pass the book to himself, but he knew very well in his heart how many people were staring at his position, once His Majesty knew about it, he could be said to be speechless, if His Majesty had doubts about himself, then I am afraid it would be really bad.

A thought.

Zhao Gao was a little afraid to take it.

The little official stood in place with a panicked face, at a loss.

Long.

Zhao Gao asked again, "Are you sure you got this letter outside the team?" Is it true that no one else has seen it? ”

The little official nodded hurriedly and said with certainty: "It's true." ”

"And that person seems to know me, so he only sent me a message, I think it is a person who the official knows, otherwise he would not have made such a move, after I found out, I did not dare to swagger again, since I got the letter, I have been deliberately evading, absolutely no one else knows."

Hear the words.

Zhao Gao's tense heartstrings loosened.

He reached out and took the letter, his face still pale.

He didn't care about using a knife to knock open the sealing mud, he directly clenched his hands, pulled the rope on it hard, and forcibly pulled the sealing mud on it to collapse, and then untied the rope and opened the letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhao Gao vigorously broke the three pieces of wood, and then put them in his sleeve.

Followed by.

Zhao Gao looked around nervously, making sure that no one noticed the movement of the two, and then whispered: "The next time the convoy stops, when you go out to get water, write back to Yan Le for me, and tell him to let him act cheaply, but also let him remember it for me, don't do anything wrong, let alone act rashly, if things go wrong in the end, I won't help him anymore." ”

"Remember?!"

"The little one remembers." The little official hurriedly said.

Zhao Gao thought about it for a while, and made sure that there was nothing else to explain, so he directly brushed his sleeves and asked the little official to leave as soon as possible and not to appear by his side again, so as not to expose the relationship between the two, and avoid making people suspicious.

When the little official walked away, Zhao Gao kept a close eye on the surroundings and made sure that no one found it, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Forthwith.

Zhao Gao touched the broken piece of wood between his sleeves, and sneered: "This Xu She still has a bit of brains, and he can think of such an idea, and he clung to the matter of Ji Heng's unknown identity, and directly and openly pushed the problem of disagreement between Fusu and the courtiers on Ji Heng's head, so as to constantly provoke Fusu and the courtiers. ”

"Normally, it's not difficult to solve this matter."

"But partiality happened to Ji Heng."

"How can he, a dead man, prove himself? And how can we convince the world? can't prove his identity, and he can't tell what Fusu did, and Fusu won't be willing to openly express his thoughts, which becomes a dead knot. ”

"The rift between him and the courtiers is only growing."

"And"

"Through these means, Ji Heng has also been manipulated from the dark to the light, in the past, Ji Heng was in the dark, and many things were afraid of its specialness, and it was not suitable to do, but once Ji Heng got to the surface, it would be different."

"Xu She's idea is very good!"

Zhao Gao couldn't help but praise as well.

He had a smile on his face.

He was also very pleased with Yan Le's knowledge.

Zhao Gao said: "I cultivated and promoted Yan Le like this, I finally didn't look away, he knew who was in charge, and leaving Xu She at the beginning was also a good move." ”

"Originally, I only wanted Xu Shexue and his brother to refine a few medicinal stones in case of emergency."

"I didn't think about it, there was a windfall."

"Huh."

Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel a little proud.

He left Xu She before, but he didn't think about it so much, but because he had some understanding of the body of the First Emperor, even if the First Emperor used some medicine to nourish his body, but under such high-intensity work, his body still couldn't bear it.

So.

Someday.

The First Emperor still had to take the medicine stone.

Therefore, he made preparations early in advance, so that when the first emperor's health was in condition in the future, he could immediately offer the 'medicine stone' refined by Xu Fu that year, named the remaining medicine stone refined by Xu Fu that year, the first emperor was suspicious, and it was difficult to believe the medicine stone refined by other monks for a short time, but it was relatively easier to accept the medicine stone he had taken.

He was also able to please the First Emperor with this.

Then win back the trust of the First Emperor.

For this matter, Zhao Gao has been secretly planning for a while, and this time the First Emperor suddenly started the big parade, which gave Zhao Gao a chance, but he originally intended to create some small bumps on the way, and it was not an ordinary time, but when the First Emperor was about to sleep, so that the First Emperor's health could become worse, and finally achieve his own intention.

However, Zhao Gao has always been worried about this plan.

Because Xu She can't compare to Xu Fu after all, the medicinal stones he refines can't compare to Xu Fu after all, and the medicinal stones refined by Xu Fu are still involved in toxicity, I'm afraid that Xu She's refining is even worse, if the first emperor eats these medicinal stones and has a problem, then I'm afraid it will really cause a big disaster.

Therefore, Zhao Gao has been hesitating.

At the moment, things seem to be going in his favor, so Zhao Gao is also more hesitant about this matter.

After all

It is far better to let Fusu make mistakes by himself than to harm the First Emperor himself, and it is also safer.

Do less and make fewer mistakes.

Zhao Gao looked coldly at the first emperor's chariot, and finally gave up this idea, if he still served as the Fu Xi Order, he dared to continue, and even dared to go further, but he was only a driver now, and he did not concurrently serve as the Fu Xi Order, once the First Emperor had an accident, he would not have the opportunity to do too much at all.

To be on the safe side, he had no choice but to give it up.

Zhao Gao waited on the side for a while, hid his hands in his sleeves, completely tore the broken pieces of wood into pieces, and then walked towards the front with peace of mind, and abandoned these pieces of wood on the way to the ground, and at the same time stepped into the soil hard.

After throwing all the wooden sticks, he looked back a few times to make sure that no one would notice it, and then he left safely.

The First Emperor's chariot.

Li Si arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now the convoy has marched to Yangxia County, Chen County, and the minister thinks that the Xuanyang Xia County Order will come to see you to inquire about the situation nearby." ”

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si indifferently.

He knew Li Si's thoughts, and the order of summoning Yangxia County was probably false, and it was true to let the army stop and rest.

Ying Zheng said: "Yangxia County is not an established camp, Daqin can rest on the side of the road, there is no need to summon the county order of Yangxia County, it is spring ploughing now, and there is no need to delay the agricultural time." ”

"If you want to investigate the situation, you can send officials to the nearby township to investigate one or two."

"The minister will send someone to do it." Li Si hurriedly said.

Ying Zheng nodded.

Ying Zheng and Li Sijunchen have decided on the itinerary after a few short conversations.

However, this decision was not known to Yangxia officials.

When they knew that the First Emperor's convoy was about to pass Yangxia, the officials of Yangxia County had already waited outside the city a few days ago, greeting the arrival of the First Emperor's chariot.

City gates.

A middle-aged man with a dark complexion looked at the county officials walking around the city gate, his eyes full of disdain and disdain.

But more often than not, it's anger.

These people were supposed to serve in the Daijun Army.

A few days ago, they had just finished their service and returned from Dai County, but before they could get home, they were recruited by the county again, saying that they wanted them to welcome the First Emperor's convoy, which was a few days, and the county did not care about food and shelter, and the rations they carried from Dai County had already been eaten up in the past few days, and they had already had a quarrel with the people of the county government earlier.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the First Emperor was coming, and not long after, they would have been in trouble.

Even so.

They are getting impatient to wait.

Now it is spring ploughing, the weather is just right, no wind and no rain, it is a good time to plough the land, and after their service, they are like arrows, and they want to return home as soon as possible to finish cultivating their fields, otherwise once the weather deteriorates, it may affect this year's harvest.

And they really don't want to miss the agricultural time.

I waited another hour.

The swarthy man in the leader finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "This group of bastard dogs, it is clear that they don't take our life or death in their eyes, and they only have their own political achievements in their eyes, really I Wu Guang didn't see it?" I don't know what these people are doing? ”

"I obviously want to pretend in front of the emperor that the people of Yangxia County are prosperous, and the first person in Guizhou is repairing, and everyone is happy."

"The whole is simple and quiet, and the whole is neat, looking like a human and a demon dog, but in fact, he is a man and a prostitute behind his back, and he oppresses excessively, this group of dogs and beasts who have mothers and no mothers."

"Too much deception!"

The wooden man on the side sighed lightly and said, "Aren't all the officials in the world like this?" ”

"I only hope that the emperor will come soon, if he doesn't come again, I'm afraid these officials in the county will always keep us here, these dog officials, you say, such good weather, if we go back to the township a few days ago, I'm afraid that the fields are almost plowed, isn't this a waste of delay?"

Then.

Finally, someone couldn't help it and asked: "Official, how long will the emperor arrive, we have been waiting here for a few days, when is the head, we have eaten all the rations we brought, and the family is still waiting for us to go back to plough the fields, this will be delayed again, isn't this a waste of agricultural time?" ”

The clean county man glanced at the crowd with disgust, and said disdainfully: "What are you calling here?" Let you take over, this is to look up to you, otherwise you lowly people are also worthy of seeing Your Majesty? ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the county had just requisitioned people, and the number of people in the city was not enough, otherwise it wouldn't be your turn."

"It's cheap and good, but it's against you?!"

"Hungry?"

"Who isn't hungry?"

"I didn't eat much when I woke up early in the morning?"

"And even if I starve you for a day or two, will you still starve to death? If you are really afraid of death, let your own family send you food, and a group of untouchables still want us to serve you? ”

Wu Guangdao: "Our service time for this year has been exhausted. ”

"There's no reason for the government to keep us any longer."

"Reason?" The county sneered and said disdainfully: "Don't give me those useless things, in the realm of Yangxia, we are the truth, we are the law, and what do you have to do if you mistake some farming?" If it affects His Majesty's perception of us, then something is wrong, no matter how important your affairs are, can it be important to have our official position? If something happens to us, you will bear it. ”

"It's such a bunch of cheap bones, I can't wait for a few days."

The county man scolded angrily.

Then.

A postman came running briskly.

At the same time, he brought back a message, that is, the first emperor did not come to the county seat, but was stationed on the spot, and there was no sign of wanting to come to the county seat.

Hearing this news, Wu Guang and the others were overjoyed.

Looked at.

The county gentleman sneered: "What are you happy about? Did I say let you go? Didn't you hear from the postman? Your Majesty's convoy is still in our territory in Yangxia, and Your Majesty may not come, but until Your Majesty's convoy completely leaves the territory of Yangxia County, you must all stay in the city for me, in case officials come to inspect on the way. ”

"Our county order is virtuous, prudent, fair, diligent and slack, it is under the hard work of the county order that my Yangxia County can flourish day by day, and can be among the best in every imperial court."

"Don't ruin the merits of the prefectural order."

Hear the words.

Wu Guang and others scoffed.

Looked at.

The county commander, who had not been silent, frowned, and finally showed a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, he beckoned to the county Cheng, whispered a few times in his ear, and the county Cheng hurriedly nodded in response, and finally his eyes swept over Wu Guang and the others, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Looked at.

Wu Guang chuckled in his heart.

However, he is not very afraid, he has finished his service, and according to the law, he will not serve again for a few years.

The first group of people in Yangxia City waited like this.

Ultimately.

A group of officials of all sizes in the county left, but although they left, they still left more than a dozen soldiers to wait for Wu Guang and others, and in the middle of the night, Wu Guang was cold and hungry, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he found an opportunity to run out.

The next day, the sky was fine.

Wu Guang finally returned to his hometown after rushing overnight.

It's just that in the spring of February, the fields of the Central Plains are few people, and this empty field, even because of the loneliness of the people, adds a lot of coldness, and the spring breeze under the sun is also mixed with a bit of steep spring cold.

There are few cultivators in the vast fields.

And most of them are women and children, there are no ploughing cattle, and there are not many Ding Zhuang, it is completely different from the noisy and enthusiastic spring ploughing season in the past, looking at the empty fields, Wu Guang couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and couldn't help but scold: "This goddamn world, this damn tyranny Qin." ”

"Then you still want people to live?"
