The First Emperor looked slightly displeased and asked loudly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Jia Hong thought for a while, organized his words, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Yan Le."

On the side, Yan Le trembled, and he couldn't help but glared at Jia Hong, but in the main hall, Yan Le did not dare to have an attack, so he had to endure it. At this moment, there was a discussion in the main hall, and Zhao beside the First Emperor

Gao stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Quiet!"

The discussion stopped abruptly amidst Zhao Gao's shouts. At this time, Jia Hong continued: "Your Majesty, this time Xianyang is arresting thieves. Yan Le pretends to be a public official for personal gain, excludes dissidents, and harms the people. Just now, the number of people Yan Le reported

Among them, 70% of the people are innocent, and 90% of the officials have absolutely no relationship with thieves. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

Jia Hong's words triggered another round of heated discussion among the people in the hall. This time, Zhao Gao did not stop everyone's discussion. The First Emperor also had a gloomy face at this time. Yan Le reported the water account. He didn't know it in his heart, but

What the First Emperor valued was not the process, but the result. The most important thing about the theft was a beautiful ending, but Jia Hong happened to pierce the window paper, which made the First Emperor lose face and had to ask Yan Le: "

Yan Le! Do you have anything to say?"

What Yan Le was most worried about finally happened. Jia Hong indeed impeached him, but Zhao Gao had made it clear that he would help him escape. The premise was that he must deny it and never lead Zhao Gao out. While Yan Le was hesitating, the First Emperor once again

Roaring: "Yan Le! Do you have anything to explain to me?"

Yan Le trembled, knelt on the ground, and loudly reported: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Please take a closer look..."

Looking at Yan Le kneeling on the ground, the First Emperor wanted to get angry. On the side, Zhao Gao quietly informed: "Your Majesty, I heard that the bandits in Changque are mostly active near the capital. Yan Le arrested the thieves and arrested many Jia Hong.

Confidants, could his impeachment be related to this matter?"

"You mean... Yan Le was unjustly accused?" The First Emperor looked sideways at Zhao Gao, who quickly bowed and replied: "I just think that if your Majesty feels that there are any doubts, you can send someone to investigate again."

The First Emperor understood the meaning of Zhao Gao's words. This matter was definitely not as simple as Jia Hong said, but it would not be as exaggerated as Yan Le's report. There were deviations in the reports of the two men, but this matter has already been

In the past, the First Emperor didn't want to mention it anymore, so he ordered: "You all should stand down. There is no need to discuss this matter again."

Yan Le felt relieved, kowtowed to thank him, stood up and returned to his seat, but Jia Hong was a little unwilling. He wanted to say something else. Not far away, Wang Wan coughed lightly, and Jia Hong looked at Wang Wan quietly.

He waved his right hand in his arms to signal Jia Hong to stop talking. Jia Hong had no choice but to kowtow: "I will obey your Majesty's will."

Jia Hong returned to his seat, and Zhao Gao stepped forward again and asked: "Who else has something to report?"

Just when everyone was silent and Zhao Gao was about to shout to retreat, a guard walked in, came to the center of the hall, raised his hands and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a man outside the palace, who calls himself Xu Fu, and is asking for an audience!"

The First Emperor's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Who...?"

"Xu Fu."

The First Emperor couldn't help but get up excitedly and said to himself: "He is finally back."

Xu Fu, who had been at sea for more than three years, was the most trusted alchemist of the First Emperor. I wonder if he can bring him the elixir of immortality when he comes back this time. The First Emperor ordered with hope: "Bring him in quickly."

The guards made a promise and left. The First Emperor, Long Yan, was delighted, sat back on the dragon couch, and said with a smile: "Today is a good day."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I hope Xu Fu can bring back what Your Majesty wants this time." Zhao Gao was flattering, and the First Emperor smiled and nodded. Soon, two guards led Xu Fu into the hall, and Xu Fu walked up the steps slowly.

Soon he came to the center of the hall, knelt down and saluted: "Xu Fu, a common man, has met your Majesty."

"Xu Qing, please get up quickly."

The First Emperor was so excited that he actually wanted to help Xu Fu up. On the side, Zhao Gao, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the First Emperor. Only then did the First Emperor realize that he had lost his composure. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Have you ever been there before when Aiqing went to sea this time?"

On Penglai Island, can you ask for the elixir for me?"

Xu Fu pretended to be in trouble and sighed: "Your Majesty, I have approached the fairy island several times, but there are mythical beasts in the sea blocking my way. The common people have tried to land on the island many times, but they have been unable to reach it."

The First Emperor sighed, and the mythical beasts were blocking him. Did he really not have an immortal destiny? The glimmer of hope that had just been ignited turned into nothing again at this time. The First Emperor was extremely frustrated, but Xu Fu seized the opportunity at this time and read it.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Common people still have ways to get the elixir."

The First Emperor's eyes lit up and he said anxiously: "Speak quickly."

Xu Fuwei saluted, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please reward me with five hundred children//boys and girls. I will take these five hundred children//boys and go to sea to contribute to the immortals. The immortals will be happy, and they will definitely take back the sacred beasts, and the common people will be able to do so."

I will take this opportunity to obtain the elixir of life and offer it to Your Majesty."

"Haha, I agree!"

The First Emperor couldn't help but laugh, Xu Fu kowtowed and thanked him. The First Emperor ordered his servants to fetch the Heavenly Book, put it in front of Xu Fu, and said with a smile: "Look, what's different about this Heavenly Book?"

Xu Fu was surprised. He opened it and saw four big characters inside, "Hu who destroyed Qin". What was going on? Xu Fu couldn't help but beat his heart. At this time, the first emperor laughed and said: "This is the heavenly book that Lu Sheng asked for when he went to sea.

Aiqing, take a look, is there any mystery?"

Only then did Xu Fu realize that this was the heavenly book that Lu Sheng brought back from the East China Sea. Thinking about it, Xu Fu couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Both he and Lu Sheng relied on deception to catch the First Emperor's desire for the elixir of immortality and eat it together.

How could there be a heavenly book in this world? But Xu Fu knew in his heart that he could not tell the truth. Once he told the truth, he would be harmed, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "This is a hint from the immortal to your majesty. The barbarians will harass you."

On the border, Your Majesty can send generals to guard the border to ensure that there is no danger."

After hearing Xu Fu's words, the First Emperor couldn't help but laugh: "I have already sent General Meng Tian to send 300,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu. Counting the time, Meng Tian should be victorious."

After a pause, the First Emperor looked at the important officials in the court and said with a loud smile: "The Immortal protects our Qin Dynasty and gives me the Book of Heaven. One day, when I get the elixir of longevity, I will be able to stay young forever. Our Qin Dynasty will also prosper forever and the world will be peaceful."

"Long live my emperor, long live me."

...

At night, the First Emperor was writing furiously and reviewing memorials on several bamboo slips. Soon, the First Emperor looked up at Zhao Gao who was holding a lamp and asked in a deep voice: "Why hasn't Lu Sheng come yet?"

Zhao Gao looked back at the hourglass and saw that the chamberlain had been there for half an hour. According to the time, he should be there soon. He then replied to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, it has been half an hour. He should be here soon."

The First Emperor nodded and continued to deal with the memorial with his head lowered. At this time, a person from the neighboring country hurriedly came in, came to the First Emperor's royal case, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, Lu Sheng disappeared ten days ago!"

"I don't know where I'm going?" The First Emperor suddenly raised his head, slapped the table, and shouted angrily: "What do you mean you don't know where you're going...?"

Biren shivered with fear, "I heard that ten days ago, he left in a hurry and never came back."

Time seemed to have stopped. The First Emperor sat back on the soft seat in shock. He seemed to have a premonition of something, but he didn't want to believe it. At this time, Zhao Gao gave Bi Ren a look, and Bi Ren understood and left in a hurry. There was only one person left in the room.

The first emperor and Zhao Gao, soon the first emperor said angrily: "Go and pass the order and ask Jia Hong to investigate this matter with all his strength!"

Zhao Gao was not in a hurry to leave. He packed away the messy memorials on the desk and then said: "Your Majesty, Jia Hong is an upright man and leaves no room for anything. I don't know what happened to Lu Sheng's departure. I suggest you appoint him."

Zhang Han is investigating this matter secretly, so it is best not to make it public for the time being."

After hearing what Zhao Gao said, the First Emperor said impatiently: "As you say, let him give me an explanation within three days."

"I obey the decree, let's go and do it now." Zhao Gao laid out the memorials, saluted the First Emperor, and then left in a hurry.

...

At night, a carriage stopped in front of Zhang Han's mansion. The groom who controlled the horse walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Soon, an old slave came out and impatiently asked who he was. The groom told him that an order from CRRC had come to visit.

The slave just opened the door to let Zhao Gao in, and he hurriedly reported to the back house.

When Zhang Han learned that Zhao Gao was visiting, he hurriedly put on his clothes and walked to the living room. After passing the small pavilion in the backyard, Zhang Han suddenly stopped. He was confused, what could happen if Zhao Gao came so late? He pondered.

Zhang Han really couldn't guess it, so he simply relaxed his pace and walked forward quickly.

Zhao Gao sat in the living room, sipping tea, and felt extremely proud. If the First Emperor appointed Jia Hong to investigate the case thoroughly, would he take the opportunity to investigate Yan Le thoroughly? The answer is definitely, he will definitely do so, but Zhang

Han is different. He is a military general and does not have so many evil intentions. More importantly, Zhao Gao also wants to draw Zhang Han under his sect. In this way, he will gain another point of influence in the court.

But Zhao Gao also had worries. He was worried that Zhang Han would not be willing to give in to him, so Zhao Gao also left a way for himself. If Zhang Han refused to stand on his side, he would never have the opportunity to be promoted, or even

, I will get rid of him on this matter. Just as Zhao Gao was thinking in his heart, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the door.

"Master Zhao came to visit late at night. I apologize for not being able to greet you from afar." Zhang Han clasped his fists and walked into the living room. At this time, Zhao Gao also stood up and said with a smile: "I am the one who disturbed General Zhang."

They both laughed and took their seats. A maid brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of them. They turned and left. There was a brief silence in the room, but soon, Zhao Gao took a sip of the new tea that had just been delivered.

He smiled and said: "Young Master Han Tong is old and sick, and is no longer qualified for the post. Your Majesty is thinking about who should take over. I think this position must belong to General Zhang."

Zhang Han was already thinking about Zhao Gao's words very quickly. Finally, he heard a hint of it. Zhao Gao tested himself in his words. If he expressed his willingness to support him, he would definitely recommend him to take over as the Shaofu. This

It's an opportunity.

Although Zhang Han was a military general, in this chaotic Qin State, if he wanted to be promoted, he would not be able to move forward unless he had a very powerful family or backing. Thinking of this, Zhang Han cupped his fists and said with a smile: "As long as Mr. Zhao does not give up, I am willing to work hard."

Follow each other."

This is what Zhao Gao wanted. At this moment, Zhao Gao squinted his eyes and said with a proud smile: "But, I am here today to convey a secret order from His Majesty. Once this matter is done, your promotion is not far away..."

"I am willing to listen to Mr. Zhao's instructions."
