Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 140 It's Zhuang Zhou Dreaming Of Butterflies

"Kill!"

"Kill King Qin! Bring peace to the world!"

"Escort! Come and escort me!"

"My lord! Are you alright, my lord! Little Gaozi is here! No one can hurt you!"

"As long as your Majesty is fine! Little Gaozi's injury is fine."

In Emperor Qin's bedroom, Ying Zheng was lying on the bed, shaking his head from side to side with a painful expression, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Suddenly, he woke up from the dream, panting heavily, his eyes like a pair of copper bells were wide open, emitting a menacing cold light.

After a while, Ying Zheng blushed and sat up from the bed.

Just now, he dreamed of the scene where he was assassinated. In the dream, Zhao Gao sacrificed himself to protect him many times.

In these years, Zhao Gao sacrificed his life for Ying Zheng countless times, and Ying Zheng recorded it in his heart.

As the saying goes, thinking day by day, thinking at night, in just a few days, he recalled the past between himself and Zhao Gao in his dream.

Zhao Gao has served Yingzheng for more than [-] years, and he has never failed Yingzheng in one thing, so Yingzheng's trust in him is far beyond anyone else.

To say that Zhao Gao's rebellion against Qin would hurt the most, it is Ying Zheng.

Even now, he doesn't believe that Zhao Gao betrayed him.

But in front of the evidence, he had to believe it.

Yingzheng has never been ashamed of anyone in his life, and there are only two things that he has been ashamed of. One of them is the South Vietnam War, in which hundreds of thousands of old Qin people were lost.

The old Qin people are the foundation of Great Qin. However, the battle of South Vietnam seriously damaged the vitality of Qin State. Although Zhao Tuo is guarding South Vietnam now, there are fewer and fewer old Qin people.

Jiujiu old Qin, went to the national crisis together, the people of old Qin have paid enough for Daqin these years.

Yingzheng didn't use the royal family, and didn't seal the rich land of the old Qin people. Wherever there was difficulty and where support was needed, the old Qin people would be the first to step up. This is Yingzheng's guilt.

The second guilt is that because of selfishness, he slaughtered Zhao Gao's family.

Although this matter was done extremely secretly, Zhao Gao should have discovered the clues these years, but he is still loyal as always, without any resentment.

If he really wanted to oppose Qin and restore the country, why did he suggest that he slaughter all the enemies of the Queen Mother in Handan when he broke Zhao Zhiri?
If he colluded with the remnants of the six kingdoms to murder him, why did he sacrifice his life to save himself many times?
Ying Zheng shook his head, his mind was so chaotic that he sat on the bed, as if in a trance.

After a while, the palace attendant came in to wash him up, and he asked in a daze, "What time is it now?"

"Pingdan." The palace servant replied cautiously.

Pingdan represents dawn, and according to Xianyang's custom, Yingzheng should go to court early.

But there is nothing special about the east tour of Pinyang, and he doesn't have to go to court.

So he hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said: "Go and call Meng Yi, and tell him that I have something important to ask him."

"promise."

The palace waiter Nuo retreated, and Ying Zheng also started to get up and wash up.

About a quarter of an hour later, Meng Yi came to Ying Zheng's bedroom.

"Chen Mengyi pays homage to His Majesty—"

Meng Yi bowed to Ying Zheng and gave a salute.

Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hands and said, "I knew your elder brother when I was young, and we are as close as brothers, and you are also my brother, so there is no need to be courteous in private!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Meng Yi straightened up and smiled.

"I came to you early in the morning to ask, did Zhao Gao recruit?"

"Return to Your Majesty, during the interrogation yesterday, Zhao Gao Gao fainted and hadn't confessed yet. I plan to start the interrogation today. He must confess truthfully!"

Ying Zheng frowned, nodded, and then reminded in a deep voice: "Meng Aiqing should act quickly, otherwise the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will flee after hearing the news, and we will lose more than we gain."

Hearing this, Meng Yi's heart moved, and he replied seriously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will let Zhao Gao speak today."

"So good,"

Ying Zheng showed a satisfied smile and nodded slightly.

Meng Yi explained some political affairs with Ying Zheng again, then hurriedly left the bedroom and rushed to Pinyang County Government.

at the same time.

In the prison of the Pinyang County Government, Zhao Kun and Zhao Gao looked at each other across the cell, silent.

After a while, Zhao Gao took the lead and said, "My lord has been watching this old slave for nearly half an hour, what can I tell you?"

"You seem to be different today from yesterday."

Zhao Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, stared straight at Zhao Gao and said.

"Oh?" Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows: "Dare to ask my lord, what's the difference?"

"Yesterday, you looked like a dead dog. Today, you seem to be reborn."

Zhao Gao chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "Then I will praise this old slave as a son."

"Do not misunderstand!"

Zhao Kun shook his head and said expressionlessly: "I'm not praising you, but reminding you that a dead dog is still a dog when it is reborn."

"."

The corner of Zhao Gao's mouth twitched slightly, thinking why this kid is so hateful!

However, it doesn't matter, as long as I don't die, I will have a lot of opportunities to fight this kid in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao's mood suddenly improved, and he said with a sly smile, "What's so bad about being a dog? I am very happy to be your Majesty's dog and Da Qin's dog..."

At this point, he deliberately yelled twice: "Woof! Wang!"

"Ah!"

Zhao Kun let out a "huh" and said coldly: "You can also deceive my father, but if you want to deceive me, it is not so easy."

Zhao Gao smiled noncommittally, and then asked abruptly, "My lord, haven't you thought about how your mother died?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Kun was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Nothing interesting, just asking casually."

Zhao Gao said meaningfully.

Zhao Kun's eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "What do you know? Tell me!"

"Hehe, this old slave doesn't know anything."

Zhao Gao replied with a smile, and then turned his gaze to the corridor. At this time, three familiar people were walking in the corridor.

"You have committed Zhao Gao, and I, under the order of Meng Shangqing, will take you to the lobby of the government office."

After the jailer finished speaking, the two strong fighters behind him immediately opened the cell and helped Zhao Gao out of the cell.

At this time, Zhao Kun slapped the fence suddenly, and roared, "Hey! Stop! Tell me! What do you mean!"

The jailer was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhao Kun, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "What do you mean by this, sir?"

Zhao Kun ignored him, looked up at Zhao Gao, and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Gao, explain clearly to me!"

"Young Master Kun drank too much, we'd better let Young Master Kun take a good rest!"

Zhao Gao sighed, instead of looking at Zhao Kun, he turned to look at the jailer, and said: "After thinking about it last night, Gao decided to confess truthfully, and hope to see Meng Shangqing as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, the jailer was taken aback again, looked at Zhao Gao strangely, then at Zhao Kun, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, then let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Zhao Kun and walked straight towards the iron gate with Zhao Gao.

Looking at Zhao Gao's leaving back, Zhao Kun felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he turned to look at Hu Hai who was in the opposite cell.

Seeing Zhao Kun looking over, Hu Hai shuddered subconsciously and waved his hands again and again: "I don't know anything."

Zhao Kun snorted coldly: "It's best!"

The lobby of Pinyang County Government.

Meng Yi still sat in the main seat, while the rest of the government officials sat in rows.

Compared with yesterday's tense atmosphere, the atmosphere in the lobby today is extremely harmonious.

Because Zhao Gao had just entered the lobby, he confessed that he wanted to confess.

Although Meng Yi was a little surprised at the speed of Zhao Gao's face-changing, but thinking of Ying Zheng's urging earlier, he didn't bother to care about it, so he said in a calm voice: "Zhao Gao, if you confess sincerely, I will order someone to record the confession!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Gao didn't talk nonsense, he puffed out his chest and began to confess.

At the beginning, Meng Yi was very happy. He thought that Zhao Gao, the poisonous slave, could be brought down in one fell swoop, but he felt something was wrong.

This Zhao Gao actually took all the crimes on himself, even pleaded guilty one by one for plotting against Prince Kun.

What makes people feel even more chilling is that he confessed all the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who were involved with him.

However, this is not the most chilling thing for Meng Yi.

What really chilled Meng Yi was Zhao Gao's attitude.

Meng Yi, who has also served Yingzheng for decades, knows Yingzheng no worse than Zhao Gao and Li Si.

Your Majesty has been extremely conceited all his life, and he hates those who are self-confident. Now that Zhao Gao confessed his crimes readily, he catered to His Majesty's character of conquering everything.

After all, Zhao Gao has already confessed all the remaining crimes of the six kingdoms, which is equivalent to self-judgment. In addition, he has served His Majesty meticulously these years, and His Majesty may be extrajudicial in favor of his old love.

Thinking of this, Meng Yi couldn't help feeling anxious for a moment.

Suddenly, he remembered that Zhao Gao gave him a one-day grace period yesterday, which could change Zhao Gao's attitude overnight, and it might have something to do with something last night!

Damn!

How could I ignore such an important thing.

Meng Yi is very regretful now, thinking that he still has little experience in torture!

It seems that Zhao Gao saved his life this time!

However, even if His Majesty grants him extrajudicial favor, it should not be so easy for him to return to his post as an official.

After pondering for a long time, Meng Yi secretly sighed. After Zhao Gao's confession was collected, Zhao Gao was sentenced to death, and then took the confession to the Qinhuang Palace.

It was exactly as he expected.

After reading the confession, Ying Zheng recalled the dream he had last night, and couldn't help feeling deeply.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "Zhao Gao is capable, I appreciate him, I don't dislike anything he has done, everything is for my sake."

Although Meng Yi knew that Ying Zheng had moved his heart of compassion, he still couldn't help but said: "But Zhao Gao violated the criminal law, and death is unforgivable, Your Majesty!"

"Meng Aiqing, I know that I shouldn't mess with the law, but Zhao Gao has served me for more than thirty years, except for this matter, he has never made a big mistake. With me around, he can't make any big waves!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Yi, looked out of the window with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly: "What Zhao Gao committed should indeed be killed, but have you ever thought about why I like to use him?"

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"Zhao Gao, I actually know what I'm thinking about, and he also thinks about it with his heart. Although sometimes he thinks wrong and is reprimanded by me, he never gives up thinking about it;

So there are some things I like to say to Zhao Gao, but it’s not like you staring at me every day, telling me that I can’t do this and that can’t be done! "

Meng Yi: "."

"Zhao Gao followed me, I am in a good mood, if you torture Zhao Gao to death, I will be lonely!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Meng Yi again: "You, Meng Yi, don't want me to have a comfortable person around me, do you?"

"minister"

Meng Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything.

It is very rare for Ying Zheng to say this. As a subject, he has to be considerate of the emperor's feelings.

In the end, Yingzheng could only acquiesce in pardoning Zhao Gao's crimes.

In this way, Zhao Gao was dismissed from his title and official position, and was only responsible for serving Yingzheng's daily life.

After hearing the incident, some officials were happy, while others sighed to the sky.

But no one went in front of Ying Zheng and threatened to protect the law with death.

This is more or less related to Zhao Gao's decades of painstaking management and Li Si's deliberate care.

After all, as the close ministers of the First Emperor, there were not a few courtiers who received their favor.

In this way, the major treason case that caused a sensation in the city was uncovered by the First Emperor in a single thought.

And this incident, in history, has actually happened.

Back then, Zhao Gao committed a big mistake and was sentenced to death by Meng Yi. In the end, Emperor Shi Huang pardoned him because of his old love.

Although Zhao Gao did not die, it was not a bad thing for Zhao Kun. At least in his heart, Zhao Gao proved history, making him more determined in his plan to overthrow Qin.

What's more, Zhao Gao's words gave him a new goal——

That is to find out the truth of the year!

Even if that woman is not his real mother, but she has occupied someone else's son's body, she must be responsible to the end.

If this matter is really related to Zhao Gao, Zhao Kun must have killed Zhao Gao with his adoptive father!
