Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 346 Forbearance! (Please subscribe)
Three days later.

The First Emperor's hunting camp set off again.

During these days of marching, the First Emperor's fever was sometimes mild and sometimes severe, but it was much better than when he was in Langya. Now he can walk down from the imperial chariot and walk a few steps, but he can't walk for too long. But when the figure of the First Emperor appeared in front of the soldiers, it also caused a burst of cheers from the soldiers.

Looking at the cheering soldiers below, Ying Zheng also smiled.

This is the elite of his Great Qin.

The invincible warrior.

There is no opponent in the world who can compete with it.

at this time.

Tao She suddenly reported a slightly unexpected news.

Han Zhong and others searched the nearby waters for several days, and finally found the giant mackerel again more than ten miles offshore.

Qiang Gong Jinshu's fully equipped ship was heading towards the waters, intending to kill it with a large repeating crossbow as soon as possible.

heard.

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and then made a decision.

You have to go to the nearby sea in person to watch the repeating crossbow kill the giant shark.

However, the First Emperor was ill and Li Si and others also urged him to do so. In addition, Han Sheng and other alchemists had been advocating for the power of the sea demon. They were also worried that the failure to kill him would affect the First Emperor. Therefore, after several persuasion, they just agreed to the First Emperor. The emperor watched from a higher mountain nearby.

Although Ying Zheng was a little unhappy, he considered the actual situation and finally nodded in agreement.

at dusk.

Colorful clouds hang all over the sky, with thousands of rays of light.

Ying Zheng and his ministers climbed to the peak of Rongcheng Mountain, looking at the boundless blue sea in front of them and the magnificent scenery between the sea and the sky.

It’s also refreshing.

Before long, Ying Zheng saw white sails dotted in the deep sea in front of the island, and the sound of war drums and horns could be heard faintly in the distance. In the blue sea, white walls like snow ridges kept rising. , faintly rising and falling with waves.

Ying Zheng knew the reason.

This was driven here intentionally by the Da Qin soldiers.

However, no matter how hard the officers on the ship drove the giant mackerel away from the shore, it even swam to the deep sea. Seeing this, Han Sheng did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately moved the three warships closer, and then started to fly away. When the snowy ridge was out of the water, he directly ordered to shoot.

a time.

The drums and trumpets of the warships were blasting.

The large repeating crossbows of the three warships fired simultaneously.

There were only bursts of "swoosh" sounds, and hundreds of spears and arrows flew toward the snow-white mountains.

on top of the mountain.

Ying Zheng can no longer see clearly.

But he also faintly saw a patch of blood red appearing in the sea.

gradually.

The flying white mountains turned into slowly drifting snow-white ridges, and at the same time, there were bursts of cheers.

"The mackerel has been hit by an arrow!"

In an instant.

The sea surface rang with the cheers of the Qin army soldiers.

Li Si couldn't help but be moved.

It was also the first time for him to see such a magnificent scene.

"There is such a big fish in the world. Even if it is a mile away, you can still get a glimpse of its size. It is really unheard of."

"The heaven and earth are truly extraordinary."

see.

Ying Zheng's eyes moved slightly.

He listened to the intermittent cheers, looked at the blood-red water, and finally announced something.

Zhao Gao was exempted from death penalty.

However, the death penalty is exempt, but the living crime cannot escape.

Zhao Gao was removed from all official positions and could only serve Hu Hai.

You can no longer enter and exit the imperial city at will.
The news soon reached Hu Hai's ears.

Hu Hai was not too excited. Instead, he was stunned for a long time, and finally fell to his knees and said with tears: "My son, I thank my father for your success."

He is no longer what he was before.

I deeply understand the disadvantages of what the First Emperor did.

But the First Emperor finally made concessions because of himself.

As a son of man, how can we be so embarrassed? !

He knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up for a long time.

In the end, the clerk softly comforted him a few times, and Hu Hai got up from the ground in pain. He did not take the sweat towel handed over by the clerk, but just wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, and then asked someone to lead the way, preparing to take Zhao Gao brought it back.

He made up his mind at the same time.

We must have a good chat with Zhao Gao and stop Zhao Gao from wishful thinking.

next time.

He couldn't be saved.

He is certainly the most beloved son of the First Emperor.

But repeatedly pleading for Zhao Gao will eventually make the First Emperor dissatisfied.

Especially Zhao Gao still refuses to repent.

Soon.

Hu Hai met Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao's current situation is much more vicissitudes than in the past.

The tips of his hair were all gray.

When he saw Hu Hai, he burst into tears and cried bitterly: "The guilty minister Zhao Gao has seen the young master."

Hu Hai quickly stretched out his hand, helped Zhao Gao up, and said softly: "Zhao Gao, my father has issued an order to pardon your death penalty, but your official position is gone. In the future, you can only follow me, and you cannot freely enter and leave the palace. Not to mention having random contact with people outside the palace."

Zhao Gao was taken aback.

Immediately, he knelt down and said gratefully: "I would like to thank you, sir, for saving me."

"Zhao Gao is so virtuous and capable that he can make the young master use all his strength. Zhao Gao is really ashamed."

Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao, then looked around, and asked the guards around him to remove the wooden shackles and shackles from Zhao Gao's body, and then asked someone to help Zhao Gao into the carriage.

Get on the carriage.

Zhao Gao's body bowed even lower.

He could obviously tell that Hu Hai had something to say to him.

Hu Hai sat upright and said solemnly: "Zhao Gao, you are also aware of your current situation. You are just an ordinary eunuch in the palace now, so don't have those crooked ideas anymore. I, Hu Hai, have no intention of competing with my eldest brother. , and I don’t like to fight. You insisted on letting me fight before, and I did so, but you also saw the effect."

"It's not as good as big brother."

"You may still feel a little unwilling."

"But this time I will tell you clearly."

"I, Hu Hai, won't fight anymore!"

"Don't try to persuade me again."

"It is true that I, Hu Hai, do not have a title, but I have a good relationship with Ji Heng. I told him a few times and asked him to help me get a title. The title may not be too high, but it can still be done, and the clan registration is different from the ordinary It is different to register a household to equalize the people. As long as you have a title, you can be naturalized."

"that's enough."

"If it doesn't work out, I'll give it a try with Ji Heng."

"He can't chase me away, can he?"

"I have somewhat guessed what you are thinking, but it is important for a person to be self-aware. Just like what Ji Heng said about you, you actually don't have much political talent. It's just that compared to other eunuchs, you are more observant and wiser. It’s just about guessing people’s hearts.”

"But it's just cleverness after all."

"Governing a country requires great wisdom, and small cleverness will not come to the fore."

"My eldest brother, I am inherently deficient. How many officials are close to me? Apart from you, Zhao Hai, the fifth official, and Yu Shide, there is no one in the court. Maybe Wang Li will be added, but with this little power , how can you compete with big brother?"

"Just one Montessori is more than I can compete with."

"Now the eldest brother has issued an order seeking talents in the world, and has also promoted officials from the original affairs office."

"The wings are full." "If you still persist in your stubbornness, you will eventually reap the consequences."

"I can save you once or twice, but as the saying goes, only three things are possible. I may not be able to save you next time, and I won't dare to save you again."

"You are my foreign teacher."

"He has taught me the law and order calligraphy for many years."

"I, Hu Hai, am very grateful, but this matter of seizing the crown prince should end here."

"I'm tired!"

Hu Hai's voice was very calm.

These words are also sincere.

From the heart.

He really didn't want to go through this anymore, and he didn't want to see Zhao Gao sink deeper and deeper step by step.

Zhao Gao lowered his eyes.

A flush and anger appeared on his face.

so far?

How is it possible to end here?

How could it possibly end?
He has nothing now, except that he is still a eunuch.

How does this end for him?

Hu Hai has a way out. At worst, as Hu Hai himself said, he will let Ji Heng think of a way, but what about himself?Without Hu Hai to help him, he would be the most humble and lowly eunuch in the palace, and anyone could step on him.

Even when someone was killed.

No one cares.

He was once the most popular favorite around the First Emperor.

Who can bear such a big gap?

He couldn't take it.

It will definitely not be accepted.

Zhao Gao gasped slightly and his eyes were red.

His fists were clenched even more tightly.

Why did he want to yell?
Why do you have to give up when you say you give up?

However, this anger can only roar in my heart, but I dare not say a word.

He raised his head, with a smile on his face, as if he was waking up from a dream, and nodded repeatedly: "What the young master said is absolutely true. Zhao Gao was deceived before, so that he made mistakes step by step, and even more... He almost led himself into the abyss. If the young master had not saved him, Zhao Gao would have died long ago. Now that the young master is unwilling to fight, how can Zhao Gao dare to object?"

"It's okay if you don't fight."

"As long as I can serve the young master, Zhao Gao's life will be enough."

Zhao Gao spoke sincerely, but his eyes flickered and he did not dare to look directly at Hu Hai.

heard.

Hu Hai was stunned for a moment.

He looked Zhao Gao up and down, and said with some uncertainty: "Zhao Gao, do you really think so?"

Zhao Gao quickly said: "How dare I have second thoughts?"

"I have lost most of my life these two times in prison. I really can't stand such a thing. If it happens again, I'm afraid Zhao Gao will die in prison without the young master taking action. I also want to understand now. Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it."

"Since the young master is unwilling, how can Zhao Gao force it?"

"What's more, the young master is right. Now that His Highness has matured, how can we shake him?"

"Continuing to make moves in private will only make His Highness dissatisfied, and will only lead to trouble. I, Zhao Gao, do sometimes have interests in mind, but I am also afraid of death and do not dare to risk my life again, so even if the young master does not say anything, Zhao Gao also decided to give up."

Done.

Zhao Gao gave a salute.

It's as if after being imprisoned, he really thought about it.

Hu Hai nodded with satisfaction.

He was still a little worried before, but he was also deeply relieved to see Zhao Gao being so sensible.

Hu Hai smiled and said:
"Now that you have figured it out, I feel relieved."

"The situation in the imperial court is now under His Majesty's control. If we and others take private measures to undermine His Majesty's thoughts, this will harm the Qin Dynasty."

"That's fine for now."

"Although I don't have much power, I am happy and comfortable."

"You have worked hard for many years in the past, so you should take a good rest during this time."

Zhao Gao shook his head.

He had lost all power.

If he could no longer hold Hu Hai tightly, he would completely lose power and would not rest.

He said with an uneasy look on his face: "Young Master, do you dislike the guilty minister?"

Hu Hai was stunned and confused: "What do you mean? Have I ever disliked you? I just see that you have suffered a lot in prison, and I want you to rest for a few days."

Zhao Gao pleaded with his face: "I am just a eunuch, a slave of the royal family. I was born to serve your majesty and the young master. Now the young master refuses to let me serve you. What is this if you don't dislike the guilty minister? The guilty minister does not need to rest. I just want to be by your side at all times."

"Your Highness, please grant me your permission."

Hu Hai looked Zhao Gao up and down with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

But seeing how determined Zhao Gao was, he could only nod his head and said: "Since you don't want to rest, then stay with me. It's just right. I'm really not used to it without you. There's no one around me to talk to."

"I am grateful." Zhao Gao said gratefully.

Hu Hai shook his head.

He also couldn't figure out what Zhao Gao was thinking. He could rest but chose not to.

Why is this necessary?

Hu Hai looked at the ocher clothes on his body, frowned and said: "Now that you have been pardoned, you should change these clothes. Clean them immediately. Han Sheng and others shot the big mackerel in the sea before. Bring that big mackerel over, you go change and wash it first, and we’ll go take a look together later.”

"I don't know what this giant mackerel looks like, but it can actually attract cheers from the elite warriors of Great Qin."

Hu Hai muttered a few times.

heard.

Zhao Gao's eyes moved slightly.

Has this sea monster been hunted?

Does this mean that Han Sheng and others can win back His Majesty's trust?
If Han Sheng and others are trusted by His Majesty again, and other ministers in the court have always scorned the alchemist, and he is the only one who has a friendship with the alchemist, maybe this can be an opportunity for him to turn around?
Zhao Gao's eyes were uncertain.

This idea was immediately dismissed as soon as it arose in my mind.

He had just come out of prison, and he was so eager to contact the alchemist. If others noticed it, he might not be able to survive and walk away. Moreover, His Majesty's attitude towards the alchemist was unclear. If he contacted the alchemist so hastily, he would only gain more than he lost.

He can no longer afford to lose now.

He cupped his hands and said:

"Now that the sea demon has been eliminated, the sea route to the fairy island will be smooth. Perhaps this is God's will, which means that the fate of the Qin Dynasty will be prosperous."

"The gods are also blessing His Majesty and the Qin Dynasty."

"I congratulate Your Majesty."

"I congratulate Great Qin."

Zhao Gao bowed and saluted in the direction of the island.

Hu Hai was very happy to hear this.

During this period, the hot wind that the First Emperor was infected with changed for good and bad times, and he was also worried.

Now I heard that gods are blessing the First Emperor, and it is very possible that he actually picked the elixir. Doesn't that mean that the First Emperor can not only recover from his hidden illness, but also prolong his life?

Isn’t this God’s blessing for the Qin Dynasty?God protects the Qin Dynasty?
Hu Hai smiled and said: "That makes sense."

"His Majesty is the First Emperor and has made great achievements. How can he not impress the gods?"

"If these alchemists can really pick up the elixir, Your Majesty can continue to control the world, and how can the country of Qin be in chaos?"

Zhao Gao smiled and nodded.

After laughing a few times, Zhao Gao exited the carriage.

But when he got off the carriage, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by ferocity and madness.
