Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 395: Take orders from heaven and live a long and prosperous life! (Please subscribe)

It's been snowing for more than half a month, and it seems like the sky will never be clear again.

The world in Xianyang City seemed to be at the beginning of chaos, with snow and water pouring down from the thick clouds, swallowing up all hope in the world and submerging all ways out.

This is the thirty-eighth year of the First Emperor.

The city of Xianyang is completely white, with heavy snow falling. All the roads coming and going in the future have been buried. Even though people are working hard to clean up the heavy snow every day, there are still more and more snowflakes piled on the ground. At this moment, in an alley , a figure was moving forward steadily, walking through a foot of thick snow, and arrived in front of a tall house.

He knocked on the door.

There was a loud knocking on the door.

The people in the courtyard were soon awakened.

Not long after.

A thin official opened the door and when he saw the visitor, he quickly showed his compliments and flattery.

Zhao Gao entered the house with his hands behind his back.

He looked at the minister on the side and asked, "Where is Yan Le?"

"Tell him to come see me."

Done.

Zhao Gao went to the inner hall.

With the arrival of Zhao Gao, the courtyard became lively. From time to time, ministers came and went, some went to add fire to the hall, and some went to get tea and wine. Everyone was busy.

Zhao Gao closed his eyes tightly, as if he was recuperating.

soon.

Yan Le's figure appeared in the inner hall.

Seeing Zhao Gao, Yan Le was not disrespectful at all, and quickly and respectfully said: "Uncle, why are you back today when you are free?"

Zhao Gao raised his eyes, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Yan Le indifferently and said coldly: "What, you're not welcome?"

Yan Le trembled and said quickly: "How is this possible? My uncle is closer to Yan Le than his biological parents. How could I not welcome him? It's just that my uncle came back from his own tour and hasn't been there for a month or two. Come here, I subconsciously asked."

"My husband is talking too much."

"That's right."

talking.

Yan Lehuhu slapped himself several times.

See this.

Zhao Gao's expression softened slightly.

He said coldly: "You may have heard a long time ago that I have lost my official position as Zhongche Fu Ling."

Yan Le's face changed slightly, and he knelt with his butt raised high, and said in a trembling voice: "My son-in-law does know, but my uncle has been as kind as a mountain to me. The reason why I am here today is all because of my uncle's cultivation in the past. My uncle has lost his official position, but in Yan Le's heart, he is still his uncle, and there will never be any change."

"I, Yan Le, don't even dare to have any objections."

"I clearly know who single-handedly promoted me."

"Uncle, please don't worry."

A smile appeared on Zhao Gao's face.

He nodded and said: "It seems that I, Zhao Gao, have been supporting you for so many years. I have done nothing wrong in supporting you. Get up."

"I came here this time because I have something to ask you."

Yan Le did not get up from the ground, but still knelt on the ground and asked tentatively: "What does uncle want to ask me?"

"I once gave you a blank order. Do you still have the order now?"

heard.

Yan Le's face changed slightly.

He nodded hurriedly and said: "How dare Yan Le lose such an important thing? He has always kept it well hidden and never told anyone."

Zhao Gao nodded and ordered: "Continue to hide well."

"The chance for you and me to make a comeback depends on this blank order."

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Yan Le asked curiously.

Zhao Gao glared at Yan Le coldly, and Yan Le suddenly became frightened.

"Don't ask for information you shouldn't ask for. Knowing too much about some things won't do you any good."

"I don't want to do this unless I have to."

"But His Majesty is too ruthless and doesn't miss my Zhao Gao's thirty years of service. Hu Hai has also become more and more alienated from me recently. The eunuchs I supported in the past are now ignoring me, and even They are all a bunch of ignorant white-eyed wolves who speak directly to each other, these bastards, I will make them look good sooner or later."

"Humph."

"Now His Majesty is old."

"sick."

"I'm getting more and more confused."

"Your Majesty, who was so wise and mighty in the past, where is he now?"

"Just watching Fusu expand his wings little by little, he was even indifferent to the fact that Fusu sent that little beast Ying Sinian to Ji Heng."

"Our Majesty has changed."

"But Your Majesty cannot change. If Your Majesty changes, many things in the court and palace will change."

"I, Zhao Gao, am just a eunuch. Will I still have a way to survive?"

"Now the eunuchs in the palace only follow Fusu, and they don't pay attention to the young master at all. When Fusu comes to power, will I, Zhao Gao, still have a good life?"

"Will some of the eunuchs in the palace let me go?"

"Will I let you go?!"

"Since ancient times, the battles between the palaces have been life-and-death. Once Fusu comes to power, all the old ministers will step down. By then, will it be your turn to be the Xianyang Order? I'm afraid how many people have already set their sights on your position. , I have already found the evidence to impeach and accuse you, but these people are still waiting."

"Wait until the First Emperor dies, and wait until the new Emperor ascends the throne."

"At that time, these evidences will be their plea to Fusu."

Yan Le looked horrified.

Zhao Gao snorted coldly and said indifferently: "So how can I, Zhao Gao, sit still and wait for death? How can I just tolerate other people riding on my head?"

"Renshan is bullied by others, and Mashan is ridden by others."

"Since you are already on the wrong team, continue to stand till the end."

"I, Zhao Gao, have this last chance."

"Hide that order carefully. This is our last chance."

Zhao Gao patted Yan Le on the shoulder.

Turned around and left.

It seemed that he came back this time just to strengthen his mind.

Come back to confirm one thing at the same time.

Yan Le knelt on the ground tremblingly. When Zhao Gao walked away, he got up from the ground in shock. He naturally knew what the blank order was and what the last chance Zhao Gao said was. He was in the room. After walking for a while, he went to the study room and took out a piece of parchment from a hidden compartment.

It's blank.

Only the last part has a big seal.

And there are eight big characters written clearly on the big seal: ‘If you are ordered by Heaven, you will live forever’!

He glanced nervously for a few times, then quickly put it back into the secret compartment.

This makes the book without any problems.

the other side.

He left Yan Le's mansion.

Zhao Gao did not return to the palace directly.

He now has a very low status in the palace and has been completely reduced to a marginal figure.

As Fusu's position in the court became more and more stable, a eunuch like him who was attached to the Prince of Qin naturally became more and more neglected. Especially in the past, Hu Hai had argued with Fusu, which made him even more unpopular. If it weren't for the brotherly respect that Fusu always showed to the outside world, his current situation would only be worse.

It also means.

No one cares about his whereabouts.

Zhao Gao looked around at the streets and alleys that were covered in heavy snow, and walked towards a corner of the west city.

He needs some help. Just one Yan Le is not enough.

Not long after.

Zhao Gao stopped outside the door of a tall house.

Hu Mansion.

Zhao Gao looked around cautiously, then grabbed the cold copper ring and knocked hard.

Bang!Bang bang!

A creaking sound was heard.

The closed door slowly opened.

The person who opened the door was an old man, who seemed to have seen Zhao Gao before, and he also looked respectful.

Zhao Gao said calmly: "Go tell your parents that I have something to discuss with him. It will be of great benefit to him."

The old man didn't dare to be negligent, so he left the door ajar and ran to deliver the message.

Not long after.

The old man followed a man of medium height to the door again.

Hu Wujing raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhao Gao, and said in a serious voice: "Zhao Gao, why are you looking for me this time?"

"I helped you last time."

Zhao Gao nodded.

He naturally knew what Hu Wujing was referring to when he said he had helped once.

Since that time I tried to expose Ji Heng.

He smiled and said: "It's been so long since what happened last time, what's there to say? And you haven't lost anything? Besides, I came here this time to discuss something important. If If you can really do it, you may not be able to be reinstated, or even go one step further."

heard.

Hu Wujing looked unbelieving.

He didn't believe that in this situation, Zhao Gao could still find a chance to make a comeback.

It's not like it used to be.

Now that Fusu has grown up, especially after he and Du He stepped down one after another, there are very few officials in the court who dare to continue to argue with Fusu. In this situation where the general situation is determined, no matter how many calculations are made, it will be doomed. If it fails, they have long since lost their chance.

Even if you are unwilling, what can you do?

But in the end he was unwilling to do so.

After hesitating for a moment, Hu Wujing decided to listen to Zhao Gao. If Zhao Gao's idea was too ridiculous, he would reject it directly.

See this.

Zhao Gao smiled.

His guess was indeed correct.

Hu Wujing was indeed unwilling to retire from the court.

And that's exactly what he wanted to see.

Unwilling.

Only then do you have the motivation to change.

in the lobby.

Hu Wujing and Zhao Gao sat facing each other.

There was no one else around.

When entering the house, Zhao Gao took the initiative to close the door. Hu Wujing frowned, but did not say anything. It is always a good thing to be careful.

Hu Wujing said, "Tell me, what bad idea did you, Zhao Gao, come up with again?"

"If it's like last time, don't blame me for not caring."

Zhao Gao smiled and said calmly: "What happened last time was certainly a failure, but do you really think the news was false?"

Hu Wujing responded indifferently and said in a cold voice: "The news is true or false. From the moment Zong Zheng came forward to explain, the so-called true or false has no meaning. Although we have a certain influence in the court, the internal affairs of the royal family How can we intervene in this matter?"

"Even if what Zong Zheng said was false, it was already true when Zong Zheng said it."

"How could you, Zhao Gao, not understand this?"

Zhao Gao nodded.

This is indeed the case.

Even if they can find evidence that Ji Heng is a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, or even directly tell Ji Heng's true identity, with Zong Zheng Ying Bi's opening, everything is meaningless. No one dares to continue to pursue it, and no one will go. To explore the truth, everything can only come to an abrupt end.

It must also come to an abrupt end.

Because the royal family does not allow outsiders to question it.

He nodded and said, "Feng Chang is indeed a sensible person."

"I have seen these matters in the DPRK clearly and thoroughly."

"Zhao Gao admires him."

Hu Wujing snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "There's no need to say such flattery. It just sounds harsh to me. You'd better tell me your idea this time."

Zhao Gao smiled and nodded, saying: "Your Majesty is not in good health anymore."

heard.

Hu Wujing, who was still very relaxed at first, suddenly tensed up. He looked at Zhao Gao with eyes full of horror and anger. He scolded: "Zhao Gao, do you know what you are talking about? If these words fall to outsiders, In my ears, you and I will both die!"

Zhao Gao glanced at Hu Wujing with a sinister look and said indifferently: "Of course I know."

"But within these few feet, besides you and me, who else knows?"

"If I hadn't had a heart-to-heart relationship with Feng Chang, how could I, Zhao Gao, have said such treacherous words? But whether you believe it or not, Feng Chang, this is a fact. His Majesty's body indeed cannot support it for much longer. Otherwise, why do you think Fusu was in such a hurry? Is opening a medical clinic in Xianyang really just to treat people in the city?"

"He wants to use this to snare famous doctors from all over the world."

"Attract doctors from all over the world to come to Xianyang and find suitable imperial doctors to treat the First Emperor."

"This is the true purpose of Fusu."

Hu Wujing's eyes darkened.

He took a deep look at Zhao Gao.

He said in a condensed voice: "What exactly do you mean?"

"Even if what you say is true, it won't change anything."

"Don't you still want to leak this matter?"

Zhao Gao smiled, shook his head and said: "This is impossible. I, Zhao Gao, am an official of the Qin Dynasty. How can I do such a thing? And even if it spreads, what will it do to you and me? It's just making wedding clothes for others. , I, Zhao Gao, will not do such a thankless thing."

Zhao Gao looked indifferent.

"Then what do you want to do?" Hu Wujing asked.

Zhao Gao raised his eyes, looked around, and made sure that the doors and windows were closed. Then he leaned towards Hu Wujing and lowered his voice deliberately: "In addition to being the official of CRRC appointed by His Majesty, I also served as The talisman seal order will be issued after a while.”

heard.

Hu Wujing's eyelids twitched.

Although he didn't know what Zhao Gao was planning at the moment, he had a premonition that something was wrong when Zhao Gao said the Fu Xi Order.

Hu Wujing looked horrified, his face turned a little pale, and he shouted angrily in a low voice: "Zhao Gao, what on earth do you want to do? Do you still dare to try to pass on the national jade seal? Don't forget, you are no longer Fu Xi. Even the official position of the CRRC Governor is gone."

"You are just a low-level eunuch!"

Hearing Hu Wujing criticize him like this, Zhao Gao looked a little ugly.

This already stung him a little.

However, for his own sake, he gave Hu Wujing a fierce look, his face returned to normal, and he said coldly: "I am indeed a lowly eunuch now, but I never said that I would fight for the jade seal. Now I can't touch the jade seal at all, and the eunuch in charge of the jade seal will not allow me to get close to it."

"So what do you mean?" Hu Wujing still looked serious.

Zhao Gao chuckled, a flash of contempt flashed at the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "That's why I said it was the past."

"I used to be Fu Xiling."

"I was in charge of Yuxi for a while."

"Once, His Majesty was so tired that he fell asleep on a big case, and I sorted out the big case for His Majesty."

"That time I accidentally discovered a blank order book."

"It has a seal on it!"
