Chapter 273: Forced Questioning
Within half a year, the anti-Qin uprising led by Chen Sheng achieved great results, and the "common people" and "righteous armies" in various places grew vigorously and vigorously, and quickly occupied many cities and larger areas. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Many counties in the Central Plains of Great Qin were occupied by Chen Sheng, and Hu Hai seemed to be unaware, Xianyang was still full of sheng songs and swallows, and prisoners from all over the country were still sent to Lishan in a steady stream, where they worked under the re-formed order in the mountains, and then either advanced or died.
The situation of the uprising in the Central Plains was very good, and Chen Sheng reluctantly sat on the throne under the repeated requests of the "villagers and fathers", and established the capital in Chencheng, called "Zhang Chu", which means that Zhang Da Chu is the country.
At this time, Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Emperor, Hu Hai, who had not paid attention to the government for a long time, was talking quietly with Mu Qing's old acquaintance Zhao Gao in the empty and closed hall.
Zhao Gao had already gone to the position of CRRC Ling, replacing Li Si as the left prime minister, and Li Si took away the position of Feng Quji, who died by "suicide", and became the supreme ruler above 10,000 people under the Great Qin.
After Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, Zhao Gaoli Si cooperated with each other, each took what he needed, and sat in high positions with each other, and now Daqin is becoming more and more "stable and stable" under the rule of the three.
"Prime Minister, what's going on with alchemy?"
"Your Majesty, alchemy has made great progress, but the effect still cannot meet Your Majesty's expectations. ”
"Uh-huh?......"
"I've given them so much time, and even handed over all the extremely precious materials to them for experimentation, why can't I do it now?!"
"Your Majesty, it's not that the warlocks don't care, but the materials provided by Your Majesty are still a little insufficient, so they can't ......"
"What, they want materials again?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Most of the father's heirs were assassinated and died, and now there are not many left, but the son and the infant brother have nothing to do with it, and now they still need materials, do they want me to go out in person?
"Your Majesty is wrong, although there are not many heirs of the first emperor, there are still many princesses left in the palace......"
Zhao Gao was talking, but was suddenly interrupted by Hu Hai's sigh:
"Prime Minister, although I don't have a deep relationship with many sisters, after all, I am the heir of the first emperor, and so many brothers and sisters are leaving the Qin Palace one by one, I can't bear it!"
"Moreover, although the first prime minister Feng Quji committed suicide because of the assassination of his son, and the city of Xianyang was much more tightly defended, I am afraid that many courtiers will still oppose letting these royal bloodlines out of the palace, Prime Minister, look, this, how should it be?"
Zhao Gao, who was standing on the side, looked down at Hu Hai, who was lying on his side in the dragon seat, frowning and thinking, and a smile crossed his eyes.
"It's just a bunch of idle people who can only talk, why should Your Majesty worry, although it is easy to let the princess out of the palace, but the old slave is afraid that Prime Minister Li will object. ”
"Before the war between heaven and man, Prime Minister Li Cheng was the confidant of the first emperor, and the first emperor even handed over the plan of how to deal with Mrs. Mu to him, so he naturally had a deep understanding of the royal bloodline, and many sons were assassinated and killed before, although Li Chengxiang did not say it, but he must have noticed it, if many princesses had an accident this time, he would inevitably think of refining medicine. ”
"And just when he went down to the court before, he had sent a message to the old slave, knocking on the side to find out how the elixir was refined, the old slave was afraid, he had already discovered our secret. ”
Hearing Zhao Gao say this, Hu Hai suddenly sat up and slapped his palm on the dragon throne.
"Hmph, does he think that if he has made meritorious contributions, I can let him be arrogant and domineering? is just a pariah, does he really think that I will let her control Daqin?"
"Prime Minister, think of a way as soon as possible to get rid of Li Si for me!"
"The old slave obeys!"
Zhao Gao smiled and bowed to receive the order, and then he raised his head and looked at Hu Hai with an impatient face.
"Your Majesty, there are already some ideas about how to deal with Li Si's old slave, however, Li Si has controlled the government for many years, has deep roots in the Great Qin Tree, and there are many henchmen in the court, if Your Majesty wants to get rid of Li Si, you should first cut off his rhizome!"
Hu Hai said, waving his hand to make a slashing gesture.
"Oh?"
Hu Hai lifted his spirit and looked at Zhao Gao with interest.
"Your Majesty......"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Si has led the ministers to ask for their lives!"
As soon as Zhao Gao said two words, he was interrupted by the sound of the sound transmission circle that suddenly came to mind in the palace, Hu Hai's eyes were full of anger, he slapped the dragon seat a few times, and was about to shout something, but suddenly stopped.
Hu Hai made a move, sat on the dragon throne with a plop, his eyes were a little blank, and then he spoke, and said several words to the magic circle:
"Please come in. ”
On the side of the throne, Zhao Gao had long since disappeared, and now he hid behind the screen, and kept pinching out the mysterious magic tricks in his hands, although his expression looked a little difficult, but his eyes were full of joy.
"Your Majesty, the Central Plains is in turmoil!"
"It is reported that a group of soldiers who were supposed to go to Yuyang, under the leadership of the leading officer, set out from Daze Township and occupied the nearby city, and then Xiangyang, the head of Qian, and now, the Central Plains has become a mess!"
After saluting Emperor Hu Hai, an official behind Li Si quickly came out and eagerly reported to Hu Hai.
"Oh, Prime Minister, my Great Qin Qianshou has not always lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the garrisons in various places have strong city defenses. I remember that there were officials who told the people how to be happy and happy, why did this happen in the blink of an eye?"
Li Si came out of the ranks, he bowed his hand to Hu Hai, but secretly glared at the earnest official on his face, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Your Majesty, the head of Qiantou lives in peace, this is true, if not, how can Xianyang still be so prosperous? However, the Central Plains is indeed a bit chaotic, but it is not so exaggerated. Imperial Envoy Zhao was only facing this situation for the first time, and he was in a hurry, and he was a little unscrupulous. ”
"Your Majesty, although my Great Qin does not have many troops in the Central Plains, it is not something that those soldiers can deal with, even if it is led by those officers who betrayed Great Qin, it must still be impossible to break through the city. ”
"However, although those chaotic people are not allowed to enter the city, keeping them will cause trouble outside the city, and in the long run, Daqin will still be chaotic. ”
"Therefore, I ask your Majesty to put a halt to the construction of palaces and pavilions, as well as the many projects now being carried out in the Empire. ”
"Also, the minister remembered that in order to make up for the vacancy of the border pass and ensure the stability of the empire, the imperial court ordered to recruit those who were cultivated as the gods of refining qi and transforming from all over the country as soldiers, but for some reason, some of the officers in the border areas told them that those who arrived were all poor people under the gods of refining and transforming qi. ”
"Your Majesty, the conscription decree is a major matter of the state, and before the order was issued, the minister asked His Majesty to issue it in person, but for some reason, the result would be the opposite, so I asked Your Majesty to explain one or two. ”
"What the prime minister said is polite, the major affairs of the military country, the imperial decree has been changed so arbitrarily, that person obviously has ill intentions towards the empire, and I ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Facing the many officials behind Li Si, the emperor Hu Hai on the dragon throne fell silent. (To be continued.) )
