Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 269 I, Yan Le, test Ji Heng? ! (Please subscribe)
for several days.

Xianyang city is very quiet.

It seemed that everyone was waiting for the First Emperor's order to be issued.

Compared to the silence in the city, Hu Hai was entangled by Zhao Gao.

in the palace.

Zhao Gao bowed and said with a bitter look on his face: "Master, you should fulfill the promise you made before."

heard.

Hu Hai frowned and asked curiously: "What promise did I make?"

Zhao Gao chuckled and said: "Young Master has forgotten that a few months ago, Young Master went to Lingnan and promised one thing in front of all the soldiers in the army, that is, when these soldiers return from the army, they will be welcomed in the city. , Now that some soldiers have returned, how can the young master break his promise?"

"Young Master is a born nobleman. If word spreads, the royal family will lose face."

"Now these soldiers are stationed in the military camp, waiting for the official order from the court. If the young master does not hurry up and wait until these soldiers return to their respective places, or go to Guandong to serve, the young master will no longer be able to fulfill his promise."

Hu Hai looked surprised.

After Zhao Gao's reminder, he had already reacted.

I did say this in front of all the soldiers in the South China Sea, but I just said it casually, so I didn't take it to heart at all. Moreover, the South China Sea army had a total of 50 people. , if I go to welcome everyone in person, won’t I be exhausted to death in the future?
Hu Hai was a little reluctant.

see.

Zhao Gao quickly admonished: "Young master, you really can't shirk this time. This is what you promised yourself in Nanhai, and these are the first batch of soldiers to return to Xianyang. Your Highness went to Nanhai to bring them back in person. For Guanzhong Lao It is of great significance to the people of Qin. The young master must not break his promise. If any soldiers return to Xianyang in the future, I will definitely not dissuade them. However, this time, the young master must honor his promise."

"You can't be untrustworthy."

"What's more, the young master is His Majesty's son?!"

Hu Hai hesitated for a while and then nodded.

He said: "You are right. This is the first batch of soldiers to return to Xianyang. Although the number is not large, it is of special significance. As a prince of Da Qin, I should fulfill my old promise, and most of these soldiers have left home for ten years. Since the beginning of the year, if I don't fulfill my promise, I may be criticized in the future, which will only fall on people's lips, and if it falls into the ears of my father, I may even be dissatisfied."

"Go down and make arrangements for me."

"Young Master is so righteous." Zhao Gao looked happy and nodded in agreement.

At this time.

Hu Hai seemed to have remembered something.

He looked at Zhao Gao and said, "Remember to tell Ji Heng for me that I won't be able to go over for the next few days. I'll wait until I finish handling these things before I go over. Let him remember to leave something good for me. "

heard.

Zhao Gao had a trace of resentment in his eyes.

He tried his best to think about Hu Hai, but in the end, Hu Hai only had Ji Heng in his heart.

This made Zhao Gao extremely angry.

He really couldn't figure it out.

I have served Hu Hai for more than ten years. I have been by Hu Hai's side for as long as he can remember. I never pretend to be someone else. It can be said that he is dedicated to his responsibilities. But what does Hu Hai do to him?Instead, he was more careful with himself. He had been with Hu Hai for more than ten years, right?
More than ten years of getting along is no match for a first acquaintance in one or two years?
Zhao Gao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with reluctance.

He is really not reconciled.

Because of Ji Heng, Hu Hai began to deliberately distance himself from him. If he hadn't taken the initiative to find Hu Hai, Hu Hai would not even take the initiative to find him once. He would even give up the throne because of Ji Heng's confused words.

How ridiculous is this? !
Although his heart was full of resentment, Zhao Gao still had a smile on his face. He nodded and said: "I will remember it. I will send someone to deliver the message later. Please rest assured, Master."

Hu Hai nodded.

When Hu Hai left the side hall, Zhao Gao's eyes instantly turned cold.

He looked at the direction in which Hu Hai was going away, with uncontrollable anger and rage in his eyes. He suppressed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth and said: "Hu Hai, am I not treating you well? I always think about you, and everything is centered on you. , I even want to tear out my heart and give it to you, why would you trust a remnant of the Six Kingdoms?"

"What's so good about him?"

"Can he ascend the throne for you?"

"Can he win people's hearts for you? Recruit courtiers?"

"Did he ever think about you for once?"

"no!"

"From beginning to end, I, Zhao Gao, am the only one who has devoted my whole heart to you. Why are you so ignorant? Why would you rather believe in an outsider than in the sincere heart of me, Zhao Gao?"

"Sir, you are so confused!!!"

After complaining for a while, Zhao Gao finally adjusted his mentality, his face regained its natural look, and then walked out of the side hall.

He has other things to do.

Now Hu Hai has promised to fulfill his promise.

He can indeed make a big fuss about this. This can be regarded as the appearance he made to the courtiers, so that others can see that Hu Hai still has desires and ambitions.

Especially as soon as the court meeting started, more and more officials had problems with Fusu, which undoubtedly gave Hu Hai an opportunity to go further.

So Zhao Gao cherishes this opportunity very much.

He just wants to seize every opportunity as much as possible to bring Hu Hai back into the public eye, and then secretly continue to cultivate his own power, and finally achieve a rivalry with Fusu, or even replace him.

He believed.

As long as Hu Hai replaces Fusu.

He will definitely be able to feel proud and proud, and even make further progress.

Think of this.

Even Zhao Gao's city couldn't help but be excited for a while.

He has been silent for too long.

He was no longer willing to remain so silent.

Zhao Gao walked out of the palace.

Then he went straight to the county government office.

He would not go and spread the message himself, but he was also very curious about what kind of person Ji Heng was, so that he could fascinate Hu Hai so much that he would never leave, even to the point of enjoying himself.

Following the clerk's message, Zhao Gao was soon led to the lobby.

Xianyang Ling did not dare to neglect, and walked quickly to Zhao Gao in almost three steps and two steps at a time.

Yan Le said flatteringly: "Uncle (father-in-law), why are you free to come to my place today?"

Zhao Gao glanced at Yan Le indifferently and asked: "Are you a suitable person for the Xianyang order? Have you ever been negligent in political affairs?"

Yan Le said quickly: "Uncle, don't worry. I have been working hard and sleeping at night for more than a month, almost all at the county government office. I don't dare to make any omissions. I know very well that my uncle has planned this for me." Xianyang’s order is not easy.”

heard.

Zhao Gao looked pleased.

Yan Le was able to take up the post of Xianyang Order, and it can be said that he worked hard.

Because of his own fault, Yan Le was dismissed from his post by the court and has been idle at home. In addition, he has become more and more unpopular, so his comeback is far away. However, recently, with Zhao Gao, Du He and others moving around As the incidents became more and more frequent, the matter took a turn for the better.

a month ago.After Zhao Gao's repeated recommendations, Du He and others finally nodded and re-enabled Yan Le as the Xianyang Order.

Yan Le knew that his Xianyang order was hard-earned, and he did not dare to make any negligence during this period, lest others would catch him, or make remarks, which would eventually cause him to lose his official position, so he had always been cautious.

Don't even dare to do anything outrageous.

Although impatience gradually grew in his heart, he never dared to show it.

He knew very well that once he was dismissed or dismissed from office, it would be difficult to rise again. Even Zhao Gao might not be able to move around on his behalf.

Zhao Gao's smile faded and he said slowly: "I came to you this time because I have something to tell you. I have just agreed with the young master that the young master will go out and walk again in the next few days. This is very important for us now. But you can’t get involved for the time being. The task assigned to you this time is very simple, which is to go to Xicheng, Ji Heng’s residence.”

"Find out this person's background for me."

heard.

Yan Le's expression changed slightly.

He knew the name Ji Heng like a thunderbolt.

Without him.

Zhao Gao had mentioned this name frequently in the past two years. Every time he mentioned it, he would gnash his teeth and wish he could crush Ji Heng's bones on the spot, so he kept Ji Heng's name firmly in his heart.

"Shall I go?" Yan Le was a little unsure.

Ji Heng is a person that even Zhao Gao is extremely afraid of. If he is asked to test him, isn't this asking him to show his shame?
see.

Zhao Gao coldly snorted: "I'm not asking you to test Ji Heng, I'm just asking you to pass on the message and take a look at this person for me. If you can get something out of it, that would be great. If you can't, there's no need." reluctantly."

"If I weren't inconvenient to walk around, why would I let you do it?!"

heard.

Yan Le was secretly relieved this time.

He asked: "Uncle, what should I do?"

Zhao Gao closed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to do much. You just need to explain the things that the young master will not do in the past few days, and by the way, test this person's attitude towards the young master."

"In addition, pay attention to his reaction when he heard that you are the Xianyang Order. This man is a smart man. Your Xianyang Order official position is not big or small. This time you are the one to deliver the message in person, so you can show some of it. The thing is, there are still people supporting the young master secretly."

"At the same time, you can also secretly express some dissatisfaction."

"He can see clearly."

Yan Le rolled his eyes and understood Zhao Gao's intention.

Zhao Gao asked him to go this time, firstly to test the closeness between Ji Heng and Hu Hai, and secondly to reveal that the forces standing behind Hu Hai were already somewhat dissatisfied with Ji Heng's behavior.

Yan Le narrowed his eyes and said sadly: "Uncle, don't worry, my son-in-law will handle this matter beautifully."

Zhao Gao nodded.

In fact, he wanted Yan Le to reveal the affairs of the court to Ji Heng, so that Ji Heng would understand that Fusu was gradually unpopular and Hu Hai would have a good chance of ascending to the throne in the future. However, after pondering for a while, he gave up on this idea. .

After all, Yan Le's official position was somewhat low.

It is somewhat inappropriate for him to be the 'leaker'.

He said slowly: "I'm still relieved when you do things."

"I know you have always been impatient, and I feel a little wronged by having you serve as the Xianyang Order. But the current situation is like this, so I can only force you. Moreover, the Xianyang Order's position is very important. In fact, many officials in the court are concerned about it. "Look, if I hadn't moved around many times, I wouldn't have fallen on you at all. Now that there are more and more differences between the DPRK and China, there are more and more opportunities left for us."

"You need to be more settled these few years."

"When the opportunity comes, I will make further arrangements for you."

heard.

Yan Le was overjoyed.

He really didn't want to be the Xianyang Order.

There are too many trivial matters.

Xianyang is the capital of the country, with a population of one million. The imperial court is watching over it, and all kinds of affairs are handled below. He has only been the order of Xianyang for less than two months, and he has already lost more than ten kilograms.

Now that I heard Zhao Gao's words, I felt inspired again.

He thought very clearly.

Once Hu Hai really competes for the position of crown prince, he will be able to soar into the sky. Then he can easily enter the court and no longer need to look at other people's eyes.

Yan Le looked delighted and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I know."

"I will never embarrass my uncle."

How could Zhao Gao not know who Yan Le was?

He smiled and said: "The court has changed a lot recently. Many officials who are wavering have gradually become dissatisfied with Fusu. In the past few days, Fusu has been walking around in various official offices, wanting to implement the promises he made in the South China Sea, but he failed We often run into obstacles, Fusu is the Crown Prince of Qin, you should also understand the meaning of this, so as long as you do well, I won't treat you badly in the future."

Yan Le nodded and said, "My son-in-law understands."

Zhao Gao nodded, did not stay any longer, stepped on the snow, and strode away.

When Zhao Gao walked away, Yan Le was filled with joy.

He said proudly: "Is this the end of all my hardships, Yan Le?"

"Since my uncle's last accident, nothing good has happened to me. Now not only has the official been restored to his original position, he has even been promoted. More importantly, Young Master Hu Hai has the possibility of taking a further step. Once Young Master Hu Hai takes a further step, then But if the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty goes one step further, he will become the second son of Qin. Once Mr. Hu Hai becomes the second son of Qin, won’t I also be able to ascend to heaven in one step due to the relationship between my uncle and Mr. Hu Hai?”

"And now the opportunities are getting bigger and bigger."

"Is it really a good thing?"

Yan Le shook his head, looking very happy.

After a burst of joy, he calmed down and began to face the matter that Zhao Gao had given him. He muttered: "Let me test Ji Heng. This is a bit difficult, but no matter how powerful Ji Heng is, he is only a humble person." Chief of Guizhou, I am the magistrate of Xianyang, how can I be afraid of him? How dare he really make things difficult for me?"

Yan Le snorted coldly and said loudly: "Come here, prepare a carriage and horses for me. I want to go out."

After giving the instructions, Yan Le glanced at the bamboo slips on the desk, with a hint of irritation in his eyes. Finally, he turned his head directly, out of sight and out of mind. When the clerk prepared the carriage and horses, Yan Le straightened his clothes, got on the carriage, and went straight to the carriage. Walk towards the West City.

Ji Heng's residence.

He had already found out clearly.

It's just that in the past, there was no excuse. Once he got close, he would be stopped. But this time, with Hu Hai's command, everything would no longer be a problem.

He was actually very curious about who this Ji Heng was, who could actually make his uncle feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Soon.

Yan Le's carriage stopped.

It's just that instead of stopping at Ji Heng's door, he was stopped across the street.

Even though Yan Le said that he was here to deliver the order on behalf of Hu Hai, he still could not let him go. In the end, Yan Le could not be stubborn and could only walk away on foot. However, he never showed any arrogance in this coming and going.

At this time.

Ji Heng already knew about Yan Le's arrival.
