Chapter VIII Zhao Gao died modestly to welcome Meng Yi
Zhao Gao was surprised to hear Hu Hai say this, "Since the sand dunes, the old minister has been considering His Majesty and devoted himself to everything. Now that His Majesty is in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, what else do you need to help from the old minister?"
"Actually, there is nothing big. I just want you to win some hearts for me. These hearts are lost by your beloved and the late emperor." Hu Hai said very seriously.
Zhao Gao let go of the wooden fence with both hands, and the surprise on his face turned into confusion, "What do you say about this? The old minister follows the will of the king, so how can he lose the hearts of the people?"
Hu Hai just smiled, "Old beloved, don't be obsessed with these small things anymore. I just want to ask, " Or not?"
Zhao Gao, who was half sitting on the ground, suddenly became clear, "The old minister is willing to help His Majesty solve these problems!"
Hearing this, Hu Hai felt a little reluctant, "If I had traveled over earlier and saw Zhao Gao offended him, I wouldn't have been so sympathetic to kill him now."
After Zhao Gao said that, the entire prison was settled. Zhang Han seemed to have seen Hu Hai's concern, so he asked in a low voice: "Does Your Majesty need my help?"
"It's good that way. I hope Hangu Pass will win the hearts of the people tomorrow." Hu Hai said and left the cell directly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The old minister is here to stay!" Zhao Gao was a little puzzled and shouted loudly.
Zhang Han next to him seemed much colder than Hu Hai. Perhaps because he knew Zhao Gao's character, he immediately ordered him to go into the cell.
Seeing this, Zhao Gao shrank violently and said, "What are you going to do? I want to help His Majesty with his affairs!"
Zhang Han sneered, "This is natural. Haven't you agreed to Your Majesty? Why are you hesitating?"
"Oh, maybe you don't know one thing yet, that is, the people's hearts are made with your life. I've been plundering people's wealth and ointment over the years. I'll return it together today!"
Zhao Gao was obviously frightened by Zhang Han's momentum, "There are all the money and property in the mansion. Zhang Shao's mansion can help me with all of it. I will give it to Your Majesty and distribute it to the common people. The old minister can do nothing!"
Zhang Han also walked into the cell at this time, "I'm afraid you don't want it, and you don't think about it. How long have you been in prison? Why hasn't anyone come to visit? Your son-in-law? Your two younger brothers?"
"Stop expecting it, I've been waiting for you in the underworld!"
Before Zhang Han finished speaking, he waved his hand slightly. The guards on both sides no longer stopped and raised their swords. From then on, there was no such person as Zhao Gao in the world.
Just after Hu Hai finished drinking a cup of tea in the hall of Tingwei Mansion, Zhang Han walked out from behind, holding a package in his hand, and blood was still oozing out.
Hu Hai was really shocked and could only pretend to be calm and said, "Thank you for your hard work, please order someone to send him to Hangu Pass quickly. I hope the people will feel better when they see the head of this slander."
"I obey the order!" Zhang Han said that and was about to walk out.
Hu Hai seemed to think of something again behind him, and hurriedly called Zhang Han, "Love! Those who build imperial tombs, let them leave if they are willing to leave. All those who are unwilling to leave will be included in the Qin army, so I will help you!"
"I dare not disobey!" Zhang Han turned around and said, then hurried out.
At this time, Hu Hai did not dare to delay any time and rushed to Meng Yi's mansion. To be precise, Meng Yi was not back to his hometown. After all, like Wang Jian, he assisted the King of Qin for three generations.
My hometown is in Xianyang. Meng Yi's behavior is a strike. Walking along the Tingwei Mansion, you will go east and you will be on Meng Yi Mansion. Xianyang's city is in all directions, with all the east gates being residential, the suburbs of the West Gate are all military camps, and the north and south are dedicated passages for the First Emperor to transport goods. Of course, the people can also use it, mainly the passages for transporting goods into the city.
It was noon that Hu Hai came to Meng Yi's mansion, but what disappointed Hu Hai was that Meng Yi's mansion was closed.
"You go and knock on the door!" Seeing this, Hu Hai had to instruct the eunuchs beside him to knock on the door.
After a moment, the door of the mansion slowly opened, and only a book boy walked out of it, with no expression on his face, "My master has not seen guests recently."
After saying that, just as he was about to close the door, Hu Hai hurriedly walked down the imperial carriage, "Let's wait, let's say Mr. Fusu is here!"
The book Tong glanced at Hu Hai for a moment, "Young Master, wait, let's go now."
Seeing this, Hu Hai stopped talking about it. The plan for the present is to wait. As far as we can see, Hu Hai has never seen Meng Yi once.
"Meng Yi should be in his thirties or forties now, about the same age as Brother Fusu, so he must perform well. After all, he is also the most likely talent to replace Li Si as prime minister."
Just as Hu Hai was thinking about everything, the door of the mansion opened again, and it turned out that it was a young man in his thirties, with a bit of Confucian scholar and his eyes were very sharp and shiny.
"Are you Meng Yi?" Hu Hai asked in confusion.
The young man frowned slightly and did not pay attention to Hu Hai. Instead, he turned to Shutong and said angrily: "Didn't you say Mr. Fusu? Where is the person? Close the door and see off guests!"
Shutong was really startled, "Don't calm down, this young master said he was just Fusu, I have never seen him."
Meng Yi was not paying attention to the book boy and wanted to walk into the mansion.
Hu Hai was beside him and immediately said loudly: "I have killed Zhao Gao! I have all the slaves of Afang Palace!"
Meng Yi, who had not yet walked into the mansion, suddenly stopped, "What does your son mean?"
Seeing Meng Yi stopping, Hu Hai's face was much calmer, "I inherited the decree of heaven, which is the will of the late emperor. Zhao Gao's treacherous ministers should have been killed. Moreover, if the people in the country are living in poverty today, how dare I work for the people?"
"But then again, the people of the Qin Dynasty are uneasy and displaced, so the responsibility of the Shangqing and the Prime Minister is indispensable! Could it be that as soon as I ascended the throne, you must protect yourself! Don't ask about government affairs!"
Meng Yi finally panicked and immediately bowed and said, "Please let Your Majesty make it clear!"
"If you want to make merits and atone for your sins, you must be dedicated to serving the people. I wonder if the Supreme Lord has the courage?" Hu Hai continued.
Meng Yi looked at Hu Hai in front of him, and his personality was very different from his original one. To be more precise, it was like a different person.
"I am here to be honest!" Meng Yi immediately knelt down and bowed.
Hu Hai immediately stepped forward and helped Meng Yi up, and said seriously: "North Qin is not as good as before. Although Zhao Gao died, the disaster still exists. I wonder if the Supreme Lord has a way to bring back the dead?"
Meng Yi was so nervous that he said with emotion: "Although the late emperor had many mistakes, it can be seen that he had a look of his eyes. Although I don't know your Majesty's talent, your Majesty will be as famous as the ancestors of the pre-Qin Dynasty!"
Hu Hai was praised by Meng Yi for a few words and scratched his head shyly. It seemed that in ancient times, he felt really good to be appointing people based on their merits.
"Since that's the case, please give me some hard work for a night and plan some strategies for governing the country for me. If it can benefit the people, I will definitely adopt it!" Hu Hai said happily.
