Chapter 26 Mutual Computation
That night, in the secret room of Zhao Gao's mansion, several Zhao Gao's confidant ministers gathered together.
Zhao Gao still had that attitude, neither sad nor happy.
Yan Le and Qu Gong both told him that Zhao Cheng died under his long sword. As for whether to kill him, he was still waiting for the autopsy results of the military doctor's coroner.
Looking at the confidants around him, Zhao Gao finally sighed, slowly got up, and slowly paced.
The hearts of his several loyal subordinates were like Zhao Gao's pace and frequency.
"If the emperor is obedient, I don't want to do this. But in front of me, the emperor seems to have changed someone else and lose control." Zhao Gao's voice was a little deeper.
Everyone was silent.
It is difficult to say and even harder to do when planning to usurp the throne. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces and destroy the entire clan. The most terrifying thing is to destroy the entire clan.
"Why don't you make a sound? Are you scared?" Zhao Gao glanced around, his expression showing a little sadness and displeasure.
He has been in the officialdom for a long time and knows the nature of these people. If he wants them to follow him wholeheartedly, he can only use extraordinary means.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao coughed, put away the trace of sorrow and displeasure, and changed into a serious and cold expression: "Since young master Zhao Le feels lonely, I have asked Yan Le to take the young masters and ladies from the family to accompany Zhao Le for a while. The Zhao family has no worries about food and clothing, so you don't have to worry about it, just think about how to solve the current situation."
Everyone who was originally silent was stunned and looked at Yan Le.
The latter's expression was calm, and obviously agreed to what Zhao Gao said.
"Sir, we are all your confidants and are loyal to you. How can you treat our family like this?" A civil servant in his 50s dressed in a gray silk ribbon robe asked angrily.
"Sir Gui, Lord Zhao just let you not worry." Before Zhao Gao could answer, Qu Gong had already answered for him.
Lord Gui looked at Qu Gong contemptuously and angrily said, "You are a little censor, get out of here, I don't have the chance to talk to you. Zhao Gao, give me an answer..."
"choke"
"laugh"
Lord Gui's voice stopped abruptly, and a bloody tip of the knife came out from his chest.
The adult surnamed Gui opened his eyes wide and held the blade on his chest tightly with his hands, trying to look back to see who was attacking.
Behind him, Yan Le held the hilt of the knife in his hand and pulled it out fiercely.
Hesitated that the blade was sharp, Lord Gui clenched his hand too hard. When the blade was pulled out, the blade cut off several of his fingers.
Lord Gui fell into a state of thunder. Before he died, he pointed at Zhao Gao with his bloody finger and said ruthlessly: "I am the imperial official. If you dare to kill him, you will--"
"Crack!" Blood gushed, and Lord Gui's head was instantly impacted by the blood in his neck, and he didn't finish his words.
Yan Le didn't even look at the shocked courtiers around him. The blood-donated steel knife rubbed hard on Lord Gui's silk robe, making him look brighter and brighter.
Zhao Gao snorted coldly, looked at Lord Gui's body, and said gloomyly: "Not only did I kill you, but I also wanted your whole family to die. Yan Le, you will lead someone to confiscate Gui's home tonight, the charge is treason."
"Yes, sir." Yan Le replied.
"No one left behind, master, servant, maid," Zhao Gao added.
"Sir, I am willing to take someone to go home. I think the emperor should be replaced. He is no longer the leader of the world. The surname Zhao is a big surname. Sir, no, Your Majesty is the master, I will definitely help you with all my heart." A middle-aged official who responded quickly immediately spoke. In order to save his life, he changed his words and called His Majesty Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept away cold light.
The ministers around immediately followed suit, and there were even people who knelt down and bowed three times and nine times.
"I'm not forcing you to rebel. After all, the old emperor has kindness to me, and I won't move the world." Zhao Gao closed his words and continued: "You can study first, and have a fixed number, and pass it on to me. Tomorrow I will gradually look at the situation. Perhaps things are not as nervous as we think."
An old white-haired minister took a step forward and whispered: "I think that Lord Zhao's personal position is still under Li Si. If he can be crowned as a king, great things can be accomplished."
"Enjoy the King?" Zhao Gao's heart suddenly moved. If he really became the King, he would indeed improve his reputation and status. One step away from the King to the King, he could also bet on a long way when he did major events in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao glanced at the old man with approval.
Immediately, everyone began to discuss how to make Qin Ershi become king Zhao Gao. Lord Gui's tragic death was chosen to be forgotten by them.
In Xianyang Palace, Li Xin took office immediately, and a large number of palace guards were removed.
Only a few soldiers such as Chen Jia remained in Xianyang Palace and served Hu Hai.
"At this moment, the Qin Dynasty is already full of holes. Zhao Gao has been ruining the country for a long time, so he should be punished!" Hu Hai looked at the snow-filled retribution everywhere, and secretly hated him.
Zhang Han had already gathered the dead soldiers who built the Afang Palace in Mount Li to prepare to attack the invading enemy head-on. But after all, this was a temporary piece together, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a mob.
Now we are only waiting for the army guarding the border to go south and the news of Zhao Tuo's army in Lingnan. If these two groups of people arrive, the crisis of the Qin Dynasty may be alleviated.
The premise is that the Battle of Julu will be postponed backwards and will not even happen. In this way, history may be rewritten.
Hu Hai is planning to save Xianyang and Qin, and he must save his life.
When he thought of his situation, Hu Hai's worries were naturally reflected.
Youzhan, who was standing beside him, blinked his eyes, leaned against Hu Hai and said, "Is the emperor anxious about the bandits who are rising?"
Hu Hai looked at Youzhan. This actor was extremely smart and had much more skill than the better court officials.
Youzhan gave Hu Hai a good feeling, as if he was an old friend of many years, and like an elder. Since Hu Hai saw Youzhan in this world, he felt like he could see an elder who could rely on.
He nodded to Youzhan and said, "Now the internal and external troubles are in danger. I have some problems."
Youzhan also put away his teasing expressions at a rare moment, thought for a while, and his eyes lit up and said, "I heard that the old emperor once left seventy Confucian scholars in Xianyang. These seventy people are all Confucian saints. Maybe they can summon them to offer suggestions, and maybe they will gain different results."
Hu Hai's eyes lit up, and there were seventy Confucian scholars, what a big think tank was that. Later secular sayings said: Three cobblers were better than Zhuge Liang.
These seventy Confucian scholars were left behind by someone like Qin Shihuang who was wise, powerful and arbitrary, which shows that there must be something extraordinary.
"Chen Jia, you will pass on my oral order to Li Si. Tomorrow, I will invite the seventy Confucian scholars in Xianyang City to the palace of Xianyang. Let him notify him tonight." These seventy Confucian scholars can point out a little thought to themselves.
"Zhao Gao must be removed as soon as possible!" Hu Hai never thought of killing Zhao Gao like this in his heart. This person's existence was like a time bomb, which made Hu Hai, Qin Ershi, who had traveled through time, stuck in his throat and didn't vomit.
As the saying goes, to fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the country. If Zhao Gao and his gang are not eliminated, the Qin Dynasty will always be unstable.
If you want to make a demon die, you must first make him crazy! The only way to make Zhao Gao arrogant is to show weakness himself, reassure him, and slack off.
