In the snowy winter, Xianyang is exceptionally cold.

The grand capital of the empire has always been shrouded in a layer of solemn tranquility.

No edicts were issued, no ceremonial ceremonies were held, not even the most common and most customary 'Winter Ceremony' in the past, and in the middle of winter, there was no official announcement of the provincial decree to avoid the epidemic.

The whole Xianyang seemed to fall into silence.

It seems that the entire imperial city and the entire government have disappeared, and the empire has returned to the ancient world.

However, the quieter it is, the more nothing happens.

The more uneasy the people in the city became, the first emperor had always been diligent and eventful, and now it was so silent, could it be that something happened to the first emperor?

Everyone is of the same mind.

The doubts in Xianyang City are also like snowflakes, quickly spreading among the alleys of the market, among the shops and shops, and among the scholars and scholars.

Back and forth.

It has gradually condensed into several mainstream discussions.

One theory is: This year's winter moon, the comet came out of the west, and the Lord will be fierce in the coming year.

This kind of saying is mainly spread among the scholars and scholars, and these people also have a lot of words, from last year's meteorite inscription, to the later prophecy of the god of the river, and His Majesty's special tour of the east, in order to dispel the rumors such as 'there is a son of heaven in the southeast', it is worried that the old clans of the six countries will be troubled.

And in the wine shops, the rumors are more that the first emperor is not in good health, can no longer support the presiding dynasty, maybe the world will change, they also have evidence, that is, the city is in full swing of the medical hall, for several months, the medical hall has been open, and more and more difficult diseases are posted every day.

This is clearly a high demand for doctors.

In the past, the imperial physicians were all facing the first emperor, but now they are suddenly facing the locality, and there is no doubt that the imperial physicians have no way to do it, so they can only use this method to seek medical treatment from the people.

And in the alleys of the market, the wandering is very peaceful.

It is the court that is pragmatic.

With the increasing governance of Fusu, the atmosphere of the world has changed, and now the imperial court has slowly changed to recuperation, so the imperial court is reluctant to issue various decrees and edicts, in order to let the people rest and toss less.

For this.

Many people cheered for this.

However, the delay in the promulgation of any decree by the imperial court made people feel uneasy after all.

It is also incompatible with Qin Zilai's diligence.

Finally.

At the end of winter, an edict spread throughout the government and the opposition, and also spread to the world.

On the day of the spring sting, the emperor will hold a grand court meeting.

The people's melancholy is a little calmer.

I also began to wonder what the imperial court would do next, after all, the spring court meeting was common, but this was also the time when the annual state affairs must be arranged.

As the ice melts, the earth gradually recovers.

There was a lot of anger in the city.

Now.

Outside the imperial city, a slightly hunched figure slowly walked out of the imperial city, he looked around vigilantly, his face showed a touch of coldness, and walked quickly towards a corner of the city.

Not much.

He arrived at a tall mansion.

Boom! Knock knock!

There was a sharp knock on the door.

The subordinate in the house had just opened the door, and before he could see the person who was coming, this person directly pushed the door in, and at the same time ordered a little impatiently: "Now immediately, call Yan Le to me." ”

"Quick!"

Zhao Gao's voice was a little eager.

With a bit of anxiety.

Hearing Zhao Gao's voice, this subordinate didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly trotted to deliver a message to Yan Le.

Zhao Gao didn't have the heart to go to the lobby, so he just stood in the courtyard.

He's been a little restless lately.

He had heard the recent rumors from the outside world.

But it's not a big deal at all.

As far as he knows, in this winter, the First Emperor has secretly held three small court meetings of important ministers, Li Si's Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Cang's Shaofu, and Shi Lu's Tingwei Mansion are almost lit all night, busy day and night.

It's just that what exactly is planned, except for the personnel of these three prefectures, no one in the outside world knows.

He never inquired.

But he was keenly aware that the guards in the palace had become stronger.

He didn't dare to be careless.

Don't dare to show any horses' feet.

And he thought about it, and in himself, he didn't find any points that might be suspected, but when he thought of Yan Le, he instantly thought of a person, a person who was likely to have an accident.

Xu She!

This is Xu Fu's younger brother.

If it was in the past, he didn't care.

But now the first emperor has obviously strengthened his vigilance in the palace, he doesn't know whether the first emperor has secretly investigated the palace personnel, but he doesn't dare to be careless, he is no longer a celebrity in front of the first emperor in the past, just a eunuch abandoned by the first emperor.

If it was because of Xu She, he would have been pitted in.

He was going to vomit blood.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

He must wipe out all the points where things could happen, and leave no chance for the outside world, so that he can devote himself to his 'great cause'.

Soon.

Yan Le hurried over.

He was not properly dressed.

Seeing Zhao Gao, he also hurriedly said, "Uncle." ”

Zhao Gao glanced at it coldly, and said unhappily: "You are really leisurely enough, the dignified Xianyang Order, forget if you don't deal with political affairs early in the morning, you are still nested in bed, and you are not afraid of being ridiculed when you say it." ”

Yan Le looked stunned and didn't dare to answer at all.

Zhao Gao didn't pay much attention to it, and said, "What about Xu She?" ”

"Xu She?" Yan Le was stunned for a moment, then his eyes sank, and he said tentatively: "Uncle, what's wrong with Xu She?" Was he found out outside? ”

Zhao Gao didn't respond, just stared coldly.

As soon as Yan Le's neck said, he was stared at a little hairy, and hurriedly said: "After the last incident, I sent Xu She out of the city, and I tried some bad ideas, and I was annoyed when I saw it, could it be that he stabbed something outside?" ”

Zhao Gao said: "I don't know if he stabbed or not, but if he doesn't have an accident again, you will have an accident." ”

Yan Le's face changed slightly, and he said with a loss of color: "Uncle, what's wrong." ”

Zhao Gao said: "Recently, martial law has been imposed in the palace, and I estimate that as the first emperor's health becomes more and more unhealthy, the first emperor will become more and more wary of the people around him, and I, as a close minister in the past, are also easy to be investigated. ”

"Xu She can't stay."

"It has to be resolved as soon as possible, as soon as possible."

"I have a hunch."

"Sooner or later, he will be discovered by the imperial court, if the people of the imperial court find out, you secretly took in Xu She, and then I will definitely be involved, I don't want to be involved."

"I don't care what method you use."

"Give me the fastest time to get rid of Xu She."

Zhao Gao's face was grim.

He thought for a while, and said: "And the bad things you have done in the city over the years, also deal with them for me, now it's different from the past, I can't protect you anymore, I myself am already difficult to protect, and recently Hu Hai has obviously been estranged from me." ”

"If I don't take the initiative to mention many things, I will never take the initiative to tell them."

"If something happens again."

"We won't have a chance again."

"Then what does Hu Hai dare to do to you?" Yan Le's face was furious.

He knows very well that Zhao Gao's intentions for Hu Hai, Hu Hai can have his current identity, but it was all made by Zhao Gao, and now Zhao Gao is indeed a little out of power, but it must not be Hu Hai who falls into the well.

Hear the words.

Zhao Gao's gaze slowed slightly.

He sneered: "Between the courts, where is there any kindness? It's just using each other, and now Hu Hai thinks that I can't help him anymore, so he naturally wants to get rid of me, and even wants to kick me away, but the more times like this, the more he can't be discouraged. ”

"I'm getting more and more composed."

"The more they look down on me, the safer I will be in the future."

"The better the chances of success."

Yan Le nodded.

He said coldly: "I know, I'll send someone to deal with Xu She later, but uncle, those things you planned, will others be?" ”

Yan Le asked tentatively.

Zhao Gao sneered and sneered: "There is this possibility, but it shouldn't be, they don't dare, the first emperor is already old, and he can't see this kind of thing, whether they have the heart or not, once His Majesty knows about it, they won't be able to live." ”

"Definitely going to die!"

"These old foxes are elf."

"And how will you put yourself on the fire?"

"This person, the older he gets, the more he is afraid of death, and the more afraid he is of death, the more he can't see others mention death, especially when he hears that someone wants to harm himself, he will really go crazy."

"They may not be guilty of their own crimes."

"But as long as His Majesty is involved, he has already committed a capital crime."

"Besides, do you really think that what I am telling these people is not true? If Fusu is really in power, how can they still have a place to get ahead? Not being able to hold power, for these 'ministers' who are accustomed to being high-minded, it is more uncomfortable than asking for their lives. ”

"How long has it been since Hu Wujing left office?"

"People in their forties feel like they're getting older."

"That's the charm of power."

Zhao Gao's eyes showed greed and envy.

Why not?

Followed by.

Zhao Gao's face narrowed, and he said in a condensed voice: "By the way, I have been going to the government office recently, be more diligent when I do things, and restrain the people at home more, so that they can avoid going out to make trouble. ”

"And after the beginning of spring, various major policies will be promoted one after another."

"When the time comes."

"If you don't keep it, someone will get you in trouble."

"Your official position in Xianyang Ling is actually very high, comparable to that of a local county."

"A lot of people are staring."

Yan Le's eyes flickered, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he nodded: "Uncle don't worry, I will take care of it, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"I've always been relieved of your work." Zhao Gao patted Yan Le on the shoulder.

Subsequently.

I didn't stay long, I just left.

Yan Le watched Zhao Gao leave, and after Zhao Gao left completely, Yan Le said in a low voice: "Originally, I wanted to stay in Xu She for a while, after all, this guy still has some ability, but since it affects my uncle's big things, I can't leave you alone." ”

"That's right."

"Cut the grass to the roots."

"What the court didn't finish at the beginning, this time I will finish it for the court."

"After all, I, Yan Le, am also an official of Great Qin."

Yan Le sneered.

He waved his sleeves and said loudly to the courtyard: "Come on, get me a pot of wine, and in addition, go get a poison, today, I will send Xu She to heaven and send them to reunite with the Xu family." ”

Yan Le tightened his sleeves.

He decided to go and see off Xu She himself.

Otherwise.

He was worried that something would happen.

Now he can't afford an accident.

He already knew that there was no turning back, he could only follow his uncle, one way to the dark, if it was done, then it would be glorious and rich, and if it didn't work, then the head would fall to the ground, and the whole family would be buried, but Yan Le didn't care about this.

He just had to listen to his uncle's orders.

He knows.

Zhao Gao will not harm himself.

It was also Zhao Gao who brought him to where he is today.

An hour later.

Yan Le returned to his home.

His face was a little tired, but the matter was taken care of.

Xu She's body was buried directly on the spot, Xu She was originally a 'black household', he didn't dare to go out to see people on weekdays, only at night, he dared to sneak around, and now that he is dead, no one will notice, even if he does, so what?

He is the Xianyang Order.

He can break it as much as he wants.

He is the Dharma !!

West Side.

Ji Heng's residence.

The frozen ground is now slowly thawing and turning into mud.

The sound of reading in the courtyard was heard.

Now he has been in Ji Heng's residence for two or three months.

I've long been used to this.

And this side is more comfortable than in the palace, Ji Heng also did what he said, completely ignored it, and even if he broke some things, he didn't pay attention to it, just asked him to compensate according to the price, so he didn't let Fusu give him money.

Side.

A young man sat bored, looked at Ying Si Nian on the side, and then glanced at the closed door, and said speechlessly: "This Ji Heng can really sleep in a day, he is three poles a day, and he can't get up yet, no matter how I am the son of Da Qin, let me teach Ying Si Nian now." ”

After complaining, Hu Hai glared at Ying Sinian.

He said angrily: "What do you think I'm doing?" Look at your books, as far as you read, they are not as smooth as I teach. ”

"Lü's Spring and Autumn and Mid-Spring Chapter"

"In the middle of the spring moon, day and night, Lei Nai sounded, and the electricity began. The stinging insect is salty, and the account is opened. Do not do great things, so as to hinder agricultural work. ”

"Ann sprouts, raise the young, save orphans, save prisons, and stop prison lawsuits."

"Mid-Spring and Autumn Season"

Ying Sinian's voice came faintly again.

It's just that he looks weak.

I don't know how long it has been.

The sound of reading has stopped.

I only heard a 'creak', Ji Heng's closed door finally opened, Ji Heng stretched his waist, and Hu Hai stepped forward quickly and said in a condensed voice: "Ji Heng, you really have to think of an idea for me this time, I really want to get a knighthood." ”

"I feel"

"Something has been wrong with Zhao Gao lately."

Hu Hai's voice was very low.

As if worried about these words, he heard them for the Ying Sinian on the side.

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Hu Hai, and then looked at Ying Sinian on the side, and said softly: "You don't need to tell me about the things in the palace, I don't have any interest." ”

"But you want to get a knighthood."

"Yes."

"But you have to add money."

Hear the words.

Hu Hai's face darkened.

He said in a deep voice: "Ji Heng, you're boring, how can you sit on the ground and start the price?" It's still the same as before, I'll give you money and meat, and it's a big deal to help you do some work, but you have to help me. ”

Ji Heng stared at Hu Hai, and saw a trace of anxiety in Hu Hai's eyes, knowing that Hu Hai was really a little uneasy.

He nodded, "Yes." ”
