Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 400 It’s mid-spring, nothing big to do! (Please subscribe)

Xianyang is extremely cold in the snowy winter.

The grand imperial capital is always shrouded in a layer of chilling tranquility.

No political edicts were issued, no ceremonial celebrations were held, not even the 'winter ceremony', which was the most common in the past and the most customary in the Qin court, was not held. In the middle of winter, there was no order to close the house to avoid the epidemic. The government went to declare it.

The whole of Xianyang seemed to have fallen into silence.

It seems that the entire imperial city and the entire government have disappeared, and the empire has returned to the ancient world.

However, the quieter it is, the more peaceful it is.

The people in the city became more and more uneasy. The First Emperor had always been diligent and meddlesome, but now he was so quiet. Could it be that something had happened to the First Emperor?

Everyone is of the same mind.

Doubts in Xianyang City also spread like snowflakes quickly among the streets, lanes and shops, and among the academicians and officials.

Repeated correspondence.

Several mainstream discussions gradually condensed.

One theory is: This winter, if the comet comes out of the west, it will bring bad luck in the coming year.

This kind of statement is mainly circulated among academic officials, and these people are also very plausible, from the meteorite inscription last year, to the prophecy of Jiang Shen later, and His Majesty’s special tour to the east in order to get rid of the "Emperor Qi in the Southeast" and so on. Rumor has it that they are worried about the old clans of the Six Kingdoms causing trouble.

In the wine shops and restaurants, there are more rumors that the First Emperor is in poor health and can no longer support the dynasty. Perhaps the world will change. They also have evidence, which is the medical clinic in full swing in the city. For several months, the medical clinic has been It is open, and more and more difficult diseases are posted every day.

This obviously means there is a high demand for doctors.

This time, the medical center was under the orders of the imperial physician. In the past, the imperial physicians always faced the First Emperor, but now they suddenly faced the local government. Undoubtedly, the imperial physician had no choice but to resort to this method to seek medical treatment from the people.

But in the streets and alleys, those wandering around are very peaceful.

That is to say, the imperial court is always pragmatic.

With Fusu's increasing governance, the world's atmosphere has suddenly changed. Now the court has slowly shifted to rest and recuperation, so the court is unwilling to issue various political orders and edicts in order to allow the people to rest and have less trouble.

to this end.

Many people among the people cheered for this.

However, the imperial court has not promulgated any decree, which makes people feel uneasy after all.

It is also incompatible with Qin Zilai's diligence.

at last.

At the end of winter, an edict spread throughout the government and the public, and also spread to the world.

On the day of the Awakening of Insects at the beginning of spring, the emperor will hold a grand court meeting.

The people's worries have calmed down a bit.

I also began to wonder what the court would do next. After all, the spring court meeting was normal, but it was also an inevitable time of year to arrange state affairs for the year.

As the ice water melts, the earth gradually recovers.

There is a lot more life in the city.

now.

Outside the Imperial City, a slightly hunched figure slowly walked out of the Imperial City. He looked around with a wary expression, a cold look on his face, and walked quickly towards a corner of the city.

Not long after.

He arrived at a tall mansion.

Boom!dong dong!

There was a rapid knock on the door.

The official in the room had just opened the door. Before he could see the person clearly, the man pushed the door open and walked in. At the same time, he ordered a little impatiently: "Call Yan Le right now."

"quick!"

Zhao Gao's voice was a little urgent.

With a bit of anxiety.

Hearing Zhao Gao's voice, the official did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly ran to deliver a message to Yan Le.

Zhao Gao had no intention of going to the lobby and just stood in the courtyard.

He's been a little restless lately.

He had certainly heard about the recent rumors from the outside world.

But he didn't even care.

How could these local people know about the affairs of the imperial court? As far as he knew, during this winter, the First Emperor had secretly held three small court meetings with important ministers: Li Si's Prime Minister's Palace, Zhang Cang's Young Master's Palace, and Shi Lu's Tingwei Palace. The mansion is lit almost all night long and is busy day and night.

It's just that no one outside except the personnel of these three mansions knows what is being planned.

He never found out.

But he was keenly aware that the guards in the palace had become stronger.

He dared not be careless.

Don't even dare to reveal any flaws.

And he thought about it, but he couldn't find anything about himself that might be suspected. But when he thought of Yan Le, he instantly thought of a person, a person who might be in trouble.

Xushe!

This is Xu Fu's younger brother.

If it were in the past, he wouldn't care at all.

But now the First Emperor has obviously increased his vigilance against the people in the palace. He doesn't know whether the First Emperor has secretly investigated the people in the palace, but he dare not be careless. He is no longer the famous person in front of the First Emperor in the past, but just a person. A eunuch abandoned by the First Emperor.

If he was trapped because of Xushe.

He really wanted to vomit blood.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

He must eliminate all possible points of trouble and leave no chance to the outside world, so that he can devote himself wholeheartedly to his 'great cause'.

soon.

Yan Le hurried over.

He was not even dressed.

When he saw Zhao Gao, he quickly bowed and said, "Uncle."

Zhao Gao glanced at it coldly and said displeasedly: "You are really leisurely. The dignified Xianyang Order. Even if you don't deal with political affairs early in the morning, you are still lying on the bed. You won't be afraid of being laughed at if you tell me."

Yan Le looked embarrassed and did not dare to answer the question at all.

Zhao Gao didn't pay much attention and said, "Where is Xu She?"

"Xu She?" Yan Le was stunned for a moment, then his eyes darkened, and he asked tentatively: "Uncle, what happened to Xu She? Has he been discovered outside?"

Zhao Gao didn't respond, just stared coldly.

When Yan Le neck said this, he felt a little hairy at being stared at. He quickly said: "After what happened last time, I sent Xushe outside the city and came up with some bad ideas. I was annoyed when I saw him. Could it be that he was causing trouble outside? Already?"

Zhao Gao said: "I don't know if something happened to me, but if nothing happens to him, something will happen to you."

Yan Le's face changed slightly, and he lost countenance and said, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Zhao Gaodao: "Recently, martial law has been enforced in the palace, and I estimate that as the First Emperor's health becomes worse and worse, the First Emperor will become more and more wary of the people around him, and as a close minister in the past, I can easily be investigated. Now my major affairs are There must be no mistakes in the plan.”

"Xu She can't stay."

"It must be resolved as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"I have a hunch."

"Sooner or later, he will be discovered by the court. If the people of the court find out that you secretly took Xu She in, I will be involved. I don't want to be involved."

"I don't care what method you use."

"Give me the fastest time to get rid of Xu She."

Zhao Gao had a stern look on his face.

He thought for a while and then said: "Also, let me take care of all the bad things you have done in the city over the years. Today is different from the past. I can no longer protect you, and I can no longer protect myself. Recently, Hu Hai has obviously become separated from me."

"If I didn't take the initiative to mention many things, I would never take the initiative to tell them to me."

"If something happens again."

"We will never have another chance."

"Then what does Hu Hai dare to do to you?" Yan Le looked angry.

He knew clearly Zhao Gao's intentions towards Hu Hai. Hu Hai's current status was all due to Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao was indeed losing some power now, but Hu Hai must not be the one to add insult to injury.

Hear the words.

Zhao Gao's eyes softened slightly.

He sarcastically said: "How can there be any kindness between the palaces? It's just mutual use. Now Hu Hai thinks that I can't help him anymore, so naturally he wants to distance himself from me, or even kick me away." , but the more times this happens, the less you can be discouraged.”

"The more they look down on me, the safer I will be in the future."

"The better the chance of success."

Yan Le nodded.

He said coldly: "I understand. I will send people to deal with Xushe later. But uncle, will other people do what you are planning?"

Yan Le asked tentatively.

Zhao Gao sneered and said with a sneer: "It's possible, but it probably won't happen, and they don't dare. The First Emperor is already old and can't bear to see such a thing. Whether they mean it or not, they won't be able to survive once His Majesty knows about it. .”

"You will definitely die!"

"These old vixens are here."

"How can you put yourself on the fire?"

"This person, the older he gets, the more he fears death, and the more he fears death, the more reluctant he is to see others mention death. Especially when he hears that someone wants to harm him, he will really go crazy."

"They may not be guilty per se."

"But as long as His Majesty is involved, a capital crime has been committed."

"Besides, do you really think what I told these people is not true? If Fusu is really in power, how can they stand out? If they can't be in power, for these 'ministers' who are accustomed to being aloof, it is better than killing them. It’s still uncomfortable.”

"How long has it been since Hu Wujing resigned?"

"People in their forties seem to have aged a lot."

"This is the charm of power."

Zhao Gao's eyes showed greed and envy.

So why isn't he?

Followed by.

Zhao Gao's face turned cold and he said in a serious voice: "By the way, when you go to the government recently, you should be more diligent, be more agile when doing things, and restrain the people at home more so that they don't cause trouble outside. Now that His Majesty is in poor health, Fusu has gradually taken charge gained power."

"And after the beginning of spring, various major policies will be promoted one after another."

"When."

"If you don't keep it all, someone will cause trouble for you."

"The official position of your Xianyang Order is actually very high, comparable to that of a major local county."

"A lot of people are watching."

Yan Le's eyes flickered, and his eyes were a little gloomy. He nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will handle it well and nothing will go wrong."

"I always feel at ease when you do things." Zhao Gao patted Yan Le on the shoulder.

Subsequently.

He didn't stay any longer and left directly.

Yan Le watched Zhao Gao leave. After Zhao Gao left completely, Yan Le said in a low voice: "I originally wanted to stay in Xushe for a while. After all, this guy is still somewhat capable, but since it affects my uncle's important affairs, then... It’s hard to leave you alone.”

"That's right."

“To cut the weed, we must remove the root.”

"What the imperial court did not finish at the beginning, this time I will finish it for the imperial court."

"After all, I, Yan Le, am also an official of the Qin Dynasty."

Yan Le sneered.

He waved his sleeves and shouted loudly into the courtyard: "Come here, get me a pot of wine. In addition, get some poison. Today, I will send Xu She to death and reunite the Xu family."

Yan Le tightened his sleeves.

He decided to go and see Xu She off by himself.

otherwise.

He was worried something might happen.

Now he can't afford the accident.

He had long known that he had no way of turning back and could only follow his uncle's path to the dark side. If he succeeded, he would be rich and prosperous and prosperous. If he failed, he would be dead and his whole family would be buried with him. But Yan Le also Don't care about this.

He just needs to listen to his uncle's orders.

he knows.

Zhao Gao will not harm himself.

It was Zhao Gao who brought him to where he is today.

An hour later.

Yan Le returned to his home.

He looked a little tired, but the matter was taken care of.

Xu She's body was buried directly on the spot. Xu She was originally a "black house". He didn't dare to go out to meet people on weekdays. He only dared to sneak around at night. Now that he is dead, no one will notice. , even if you notice it, so what?

He is the order of Xianyang.

He can break it off however he wants.

He is the Dharma! ! !

West City.

Ji Heng's residence.

The frozen ground is now slowly thawing and turning into mud.

The sound of Ying Si Nian's reading could be heard in the courtyard.

Now he has been staying at Ji Heng's residence for two or three months.

I have long been accustomed to this place.

Moreover, he was more comfortable here than in the palace. Ji Heng also took his word seriously and ignored him completely. Even if he broke something, he would not pay attention to it and just asked him to compensate according to the price. Therefore, Fusu did not hesitate to do anything. Come and give him some money.

aside.

A young man sat bored, looked at Ying Si Nian beside him, then glanced at the closed door, and said speechlessly: "This Ji Heng can really sleep all day long, it's already three o'clock in the morning, and he still hasn't gotten up, no matter what I do." He is also the Master of Da Qin, now let me teach Ying Si Nian."

After complaining, Hu Hai glared at Ying Sinian.

He said angrily: "What do you think I'm doing? I'm reading your book, you're the only one who's read it, and it's not as fluent as what I taught you."

""Lu's Spring and Autumn Period: Mid-Spring Chapter""

"In the month of mid-spring, at the end of the day and night, thunder begins to sound and electricity begins. The stinging insects begin to move and open accounts. There is no need to do anything important to hinder the agricultural work."

"Safe sprouts, raise young children, save orphans, save jail time, and stop prison lawsuits."

"Autumn order in mid-spring"

Ying Sinian's voice came faintly again.

It just seems weak.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Ying Si Nian's reading has stopped.

There was only a creaking sound, and Ji Heng's closed door finally opened. Ji Heng stretched out, while Hu Hai quickly stepped forward and said in a concentrated voice: "Ji Heng, are you really going to do it this time?" Think of something for me, I really want to get a title."

"I feel"

"There's something wrong with Zhao Gao recently."

Hu Hai's voice was very low.

As if he was worried about these words, Ying Si Nian heard them.

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Hu Hai, and then at Ying Sinian beside him, and said softly: "You don't need to tell me about the affairs in the palace, I have no interest."

"But you want to get a knighthood."

"can."

"But you have to pay more."

Hear the words.

Hu Hai's face darkened.

He said in a deep voice: "Ji Heng, you are no longer interested. How can you raise the price? It is still the same as before. I will give you money and meat. I will help you do some work at most, but you must help me."

Ji Heng stared at Hu Hai and saw a hint of anxiety in Hu Hai's eyes, knowing that Hu Hai was really a little uneasy.

He nodded: "Okay."
