Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 285 Wu Guang’s wrath! (Please subscribe)

"What did you say? A secret letter from Xianyang?" When Zhao Gao heard the letter, he was agitated, as if he had been stimulated by something.

The official on the side whispered: "Reply to the official, it is indeed a letter from Xianyang. When the team in front stopped, I went outside the military camp. Someone stopped me on the way and sent this letter to me. The person also named me. Dao, this letter can only be sent to CRRC Fu Ling."

With that said, the clerk handed over a letter with a 'mud seal'.

heard.

Zhao Gao looked ugly.

Although the official said that this letter was not known to outsiders, there were so many people in the convoy and the crowds were so crowded that it was not necessarily true that no one had seen it. If someone had secretly passed the letter to him, it would have fallen to To anyone with an eye, something big might happen.

Zhao Gao stared at the letter closely, and with just one glance, he could see the origin of the mud seal on it.

From Yan Le.

Zhao Gao was shocked and angry.

Before he left, he told Yan Le three times that there was no emergency and he would never send a letter to him. He knew very well in his heart how many people were watching his position. Once His Majesty knew about it, he would be There is no need to argue. If His Majesty has doubts about himself, it may be really bad.

In one thought.

Zhao Gao was a little afraid to answer.

The clerk stood there with a panicked look on his face, at a loss what to do.

a long time.

Zhao Gao asked again: "Are you sure you got this letter outside the motorcade? Is it true that no one else saw it?"

The clerk nodded quickly and said with certainty: "It's absolutely true."

"And that person seemed to know me, so he only sent me the message. I guess he was someone the superior knew, otherwise he would not have done this. After I noticed it, I didn't dare to show off anymore. After I got the letter, , I have been deliberately avoiding it, and absolutely no one else knows."

heard.

Zhao Gao's tense heartstrings relaxed.

He reached out and took the letter, his face still ashen.

He no longer bothered to use a knife to break the sealing mud. He clenched his hands tightly and pulled hard on the rope above, forcefully pulling the sealing mud off. Then he untied the rope and opened the letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhao Gao broke the three pieces of wood with force and put them into his sleeves.

Followed by.

Zhao Gao looked around nervously to make sure that no one noticed the two people's movements, and then whispered: "When the next time the motorcade stops and you go out to get water, reply to Yan Le for me and tell him, Let him act on his own, but also ask him to remember not to act recklessly or act rashly. If things go wrong in the end, I won't help him anymore."

"Remember?!"

"I remember it, little one," the clerk said quickly.

Zhao Gao thought for a while and determined that there was nothing else to explain, so he directly brushed his sleeves and told the clerk to leave as soon as possible and not to appear next to him again, so as not to expose the relationship between the two and avoid making people suspicious. .

When the clerk walked away, Zhao Gao kept paying close attention to his surroundings, making sure no one noticed him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

immediately.

Zhao Gao touched the broken piece of wood between his sleeves and sneered: "This Xu She has some brains. He can think of such an idea. He clings to Ji Heng's unknown identity and creates a rift between Fusu and the courtiers." The problem was directly and openly put on Ji Heng's head, thereby constantly driving Fusu away from the courtiers."

"Normally, it is not difficult to resolve this matter."

"But it happened to Ji Heng."

"How can he prove his identity as a dead man? How can he convince the world? He can't prove his identity, and he can't explain Fusu's actions, and Fusu is not willing to openly express his thoughts. This becomes A dead end."

"The rift between him and his courtiers will only grow."

"and"

"Through these means, Ji Heng was brought from the dark to the bright. In the past, when Ji Heng was in the dark, he was afraid of being special and was not suitable for many things, but once Ji Heng came to the bright side, it would be different. "

“Xu She’s idea is wonderful!”

Zhao Gao couldn't help but praise him.

A smile appeared on his face.

He was also very pleased with Yan Le's knowledge and interests.

Zhao Gao nodded and said: "After I trained and promoted Yan Le, I finally didn't make a mistake. He knows who is the one who makes the decision, and keeping Xu She in the first place was also a clever move."

"Originally I just wanted Xu She to learn from his brother to refine a few medicine stones in case of emergency."

"I never thought that there would be unexpected gains."

"Ha ha."

Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel a little proud.

When he stayed in Xushe before, he actually didn't think so much about it. He just had some understanding of the First Emperor's body. Even if the First Emperor used some medicine to recuperate his body, his body still couldn't bear such high-intensity work.

so.
One day.

The First Emperor still had to take medicinal stones.

Therefore, he made preparations early so that when the First Emperor's health was in trouble in the future, he could offer the 'medicine stone' Xu Fu refined as soon as possible. It was called the remaining medicine stone that Xu Fu refined in the past. It is hard to believe the medicine stones refined by the alchemist for a short time, but it is easier to accept the medicine stones that I have taken before.

He could also use this to please the First Emperor.

Then win back the trust of the First Emperor.

Zhao Gao had been secretly planning this matter for some time, and this time the First Emperor suddenly started a grand tour, which gave Zhao Gao an opportunity. However, his original intention was to cause some small bumps during the drive, and it was an unusual time, and It was done when the First Emperor was about to sleep, so that the First Emperor's health could become worse and ultimately achieve his goal.

However, Zhao Gao has always been worried about this plan.

Because after all, Xu She cannot compare with Xu Fu, and the medicine stones he refines cannot compare with Xu Fu. Moreover, the medicine stones refined by Xu Fu are even toxic. I am afraid that the medicine stones refined by Xu She are even worse. If the First Emperor eats these medicine stones, something will happen. , then it might really cause a big trouble.

Therefore, Zhao Gao has been hesitating.

Now things seem to be going in his favor, so Zhao Gao is even more hesitant about this matter.

after all
It was far better and safer to let Fusu make mistakes than to harm the First Emperor himself.

Do less and make less mistakes.

Zhao Gao looked at the First Emperor's chariot coldly, and finally gave up the idea. If he had also served as the Fu Xi Ling, he would have dared to continue, and even dared to go further, but now he was only a driver and not concurrently Fu Xi ordered that once something happened to the First Emperor, he would have no chance to do much.

To be on the safe side, he could only give up this.

Zhao Gao waited aside for a while, hiding his hands in his sleeves, completely tearing the broken pieces of wood into pieces, and then walked forward with peace of mind, abandoning these pieces of wood on the ground along the way. At the same time, he stepped hard into the soil.

After all the wooden sticks were thrown away, he looked back a few times to make sure no one would notice, and then left safely.

In the First Emperor's chariot.

Li Si cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the convoy has now arrived at Yangxia County, Chen County. I think I should immediately order the magistrate of Yangxia County to come and see you to inquire about the situation nearby."

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si indifferently.He knew Li Si's thoughts clearly. Summoning the Yangxia County Magistrate was probably a lie, but asking the army to stop and rest was the real thing.

Ying Zheng said: "Yangxia County is not a designated camp. Da Qin can rest on the roadside without summoning the magistrate of Yangxia County. It is spring plowing now, so there is no need to delay the farming season."

"If you want to investigate the situation, just send officials to nearby villages to investigate."

"I will send someone to do it now." Li Si said quickly.

Ying Zheng nodded.

Ying Zheng and Li Sijunchen decided on the itinerary after a few brief conversations.

However, this decision was not known to Yangxia officials.

When they knew that the First Emperor's motorcade was about to pass through Yangxia, officials of all sizes in Yangxia County had been waiting outside the city a few days ago to greet the arrival of the First Emperor's motorcade.

city ​​gate.

A middle-aged man with dark skin looked at the county magistrate walking back and forth at the city gate, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

But it's more of anger.

These people were originally serving as guards in Daijun.

They had just finished their service a few days ago and returned from Dai County. However, before they got home, they were recruited again by the county, saying that they were required to welcome the First Emperor's motorcade. They would stay there for several days, and the county did not care about food and accommodation. , the rations they brought from Daijun had been eaten up in the past few days, and they had already had a quarrel with the county government officials.

If they hadn't heard that the First Emperor was coming, and not long after, they would have started a quarrel.

even so.

They were also growing impatient with waiting.

Now is the time for spring plowing. The weather is just right, with no wind or rain. It is a good time for plowing. And after their service is over, they are eager to return home. They want to return home as soon as possible to finish plowing their own fields, otherwise they may not be able to return to their fields if the weather turns bad. This year's harvest will be affected.

And they really don’t want to miss the farming season.

Waited another hour.

The dark-skinned man who led the group finally couldn't hold in his anger anymore and cursed angrily in a low voice: "These bastards clearly don't care about our life and death. They only care about their own political achievements. They really don't care about me, Wu Guang." Uninformed? Don’t you know what these people are doing?"

"Obviously he wants to pretend in front of the emperor that the people of Yangxia County are prosperous, the head of Guizhou is repairing, and the people are happy."

"They appear to be simple, quiet, courteous, and courteous to their subordinates. They appear to be demons and dogs, but behind their backs, men steal and women prostitute, and they bully them without restraint. These are a bunch of bastards who have their mothers but not their mothers."

"Too deceiving!"

The dull man on the side sighed softly and said, "Aren't all officials in the world like this?"

"Now I just hope that the emperor will come soon. If he doesn't come again, these officials in the county will probably keep us here. Damn these officials, you said, with such good weather, if we went back a few days ago, In the countryside, I'm afraid the fields are almost completely plowed, isn't this wasting time in vain?"

At this time.

Finally someone couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Sir, how long does it take for the emperor to arrive? We have been waiting here for several days. When will it be the end? We have finished the rations we brought, and we are still waiting at home." If we go back to plowing the fields, if we delay it any longer, wouldn’t this be a waste of farming time?”

The clean-dressed county magistrate glanced at the crowd with disdain and said disdainfully: "What are you calling here for? I asked you to pick me up. Is this because I think highly of you? Otherwise, you lowly people are not worthy of seeing His Majesty?"

"If the county hadn't just recruited people, and there weren't enough people in the city, your turn wouldn't have been there."

"You still behave well when you get an advantage, but are you going against it?!"

"hungry?"

"Who's not hungry?"

"I woke up so early in the morning and didn't eat much?"

"And even if I starve you for a day or two, can you still starve to death? If you are really afraid of death, let your family send you food. A bunch of untouchables still want us to serve you?"

Wu Guangdao: "Our service time this year has been completed."

"The government has no reason to keep us here anymore."

"Principle?" The county magistrate sneered and said disdainfully: "Don't talk to me about useless things. In the land of Yangxia, we are the principle and we are the law. And what does it matter if you miss some farm work? If it affects Judging from His Majesty's opinion of us, it means that something big has happened. No matter how important your affairs are, can they be as important as our official positions? If something happens to us, you can afford it."

"What a bunch of bastards, they can't even wait for a few days."

The county magistrate cursed angrily.

At this time.

A mailman came running quickly.

At the same time, a message was brought back, which was that the First Emperor did not come to the county seat, but was stationed directly on the spot, and there was no sign of wanting to go to the county seat.

Upon hearing the news, Wu Guang and others looked happy.

see.

The county magistrate sneered: "What are you enjoying? Did I tell you to leave? Didn't you listen to the postman? Your Majesty's motorcade is still in our Yangxia territory. Your Majesty may not come, but your Majesty's motorcade will be completely Before leaving Yangxia County, you must stay in the city for me in case officials come to inspect on the way."

"Our county magistrate is virtuous, prudent, fair, and diligent. It is because of the county magistrate's hard work that our Yangxia County can prosper and be among the best in every imperial examination."

"Don't ruin the county magistrate's achievements."

heard.

Wu Guang and others sneered.

see.

The county magistrate, who had been silent all this time, frowned, and finally there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He waved to the county magistrate and whispered a few times in his ear. The magistrate nodded quickly in response. Finally, his eyes glanced at Wu Guang and others, and the corners of his mouth showed A sneer.

see.

Wu Guang's heart skipped a beat.

But he is not very afraid. His service has ended and according to law he will not serve again for a few years.

A group of people at the head of Yangxia City were just waiting.

finally.

All the officials in the county, big and small, left, but even though they left, they still left a dozen soldiers to look after Wu Guang and others. In the middle of the night, Wu Guang was cold and hungry, but he couldn't stand it any longer. He stayed and found an opportunity to run out.

The next day, it was sunny.

Wu Guang finally returned to his hometown after traveling all night.

It's just February in spring, but there are only a few people in the fields in the Central Plains. This empty field even adds a lot of coldness because of the loneliness of the people. The spring breeze under the sun also carries a bit of cold spring.

There are only a few cultivators in the vast fields.

And most of them were women and children. There were no cattle and not many young men. It was completely different from the noisy and enthusiastic spring plowing season in the past. Looking at the empty fields, Wu Guang couldn't help but feel sad. He couldn't help but cursed: "This is a damn thing." The world is so damn violent."

"Then you still want people to live?"
