My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 155 The storm is rising (please give me a monthly ticket!)
After Zhao Gao heard this, all the fatigue of the day disappeared without a trace.

He raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes. He first showed joy to Lang Wei and gave each of them a piece of gold cake.

"I was on patrol tonight and met you two talkative people who dared to discuss the king's whereabouts in private. As the commander of the Zhongche Mansion, I have the right to punish you. Now I will give you two twenty sticks each."

"Now that the execution has been completed, you two should go home and recuperate for three days before coming back."

This is Zhao Gao's usual method. After he learns the confidential information, he will not reward them explicitly. He will just use clever names to punish the people who reported the information to him, so that outsiders will feel that he hates these two reporters. people.

In fact, instead of punishing them, Zhao Gao rewarded them generously.

Of course, only a few of them know these things in their own minds.

Over time, I have been doing this without anyone noticing, and no one has ever exposed me.

Zhao Gao has been using this method for so many years.

He made everyone in the palace fear him, and also made everyone who wanted to bribe him fear him. Only if he spoke, these people would have a chance to benefit.

In front of Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao has always been strict with the outside world, and he has created a kind of atmosphere for Ying Zheng. Zhao Gao thinks that Ying Zheng's service comes first.

This clever method was learned by Zhao Gao from Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng once taught Zhao Gao that as a superior, if you blindly reuse and appreciate someone, that person will be at the forefront of the storm and make everyone jealous of him.

If the king does this, then the king is destroying his beloved subjects.

Zhao Gao also learned well. If he wanted to always be able to know everything about the king, he would pretend to be at odds with other senior attendants around Ying Zheng. In fact, they had a good relationship in private. .

Zhao Gao and the two Lang Wei left with satisfaction.

On the way back, Zhao Gao sat on the carriage pulled by two people. When he thought about the news he had received, he couldn't help but throw his head up and laugh in the dark night.

"Okay, okay. I almost forgot that although the prince has a high position, his most fatal weakness is also his high position. You, mother and son, actually want to go against me and intend to destroy my glory and wealth, then that's No wonder I am.”

Yuyang Palace.

In the dead of night, Fusu sat in front of the case, thinking carefully about what Changping Jun said to him today.

He mentioned his title of king several times.

As a prince, although he has officials, guards, servants, and houses, the people who take care of all these are people under Ying Zheng.

Prince Sherenliang once told himself, "Prince, everything you can do is because the king asked you to do it."

This is intriguing.

As the prince, there are really very few things he can do.

Fusu still wanted to participate in the war, but now, Wang Jian and Li Xin were about to return to the court after defeating the Yan army. Wang Ben had been besieging Daliang for several months.

On his way back, he met a convoy. They were transporting grain and grass to the southeast.

This shows that Ying Zheng is preparing to attack Chu.

He can miss the opportunity to attack Yan and Wei, but he must participate in the two wars to attack Chu and Qi.

His time is running out.
-
A few days later, Changping Mansion.

Xiong Qi was sitting in the mansion, but he had no free time at all.

Those courtiers and officials who came to see him from time to time were secretly saying that since he left, no one can restrain the king anymore, and the king is becoming more and more willful now.

"Your Majesty has promoted Li Xin to two titles today and generously rewarded the children of the Feng family. These people now have heavy troops, and we can only be squeezed out." "Your Majesty is collecting grain and grass to prepare for the attack on Chu. The local counties The counties reported to the king and asked him to relax the time limit, because they simply cannot raise so much food and grass in the short term."

"But the king believes that now is an excellent opportunity to attack the Chu Kingdom. And the king is unwilling to continue to delay the war. The king issued an order that all counties must raise 50 stones of food and grass before winter to supply military needs."

Xiong Qi's eyes were full of coldness after hearing this.

"Haste makes waste. The more anxious he is to destroy Chu State, the more he is destined to fail in attacking Chu State. I am one of the few people in the world who truly understands him."

"By doing this, he will not only make his subjects resent him, but will also give Chu an opportunity."

But those who came to complain to Lord Changping did not agree with Lord Changping's point of view.

"Things are different from what the king expected. The king destroyed three countries in just a few years, and now most of the world belongs to the Qin State. Many people in the country support this matter, and some people even regard the king as a god and think that The king is here to end the war in the world."

After hearing this, Lord Changping just sneered for a long time.

"The world will be disappointed in the future. He is a ruthless, mean and ungrateful person. Once he gets what he wants, he will not be kind to those who have helped him in the past. .”

"You don't understand that person. In that person's eyes, he is the most noble person in the world. In his mind, he is the strongest person in the world, and no one can compare with him. He believed that we should all surrender to him."

"He's a madman."

Xiong Qi said.

The courtiers all nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"I'm afraid that when the king takes over the world in the future, he will be dissatisfied with us. The only one we can rely on is Lord Changping. Let the nobles go home and farm the land, and promote a group of common people to the rank of Sangong and Jiuqing. location. I’m afraid our situation will be even more difficult in the future.”

Xiong Qi knew that these people were reminding him.

Ying Zheng will not let him go.

"Let me think about it."

Lord Changping sent away a group of officials, but soon someone came to visit him again.

The people who came were not only the nobles of Chu State and their vassals, but also some declining nobles of Qin State.

Xiong Qi also felt that he was in danger.

He has begun to stay at home.

The matter spread like wildfire, and Fusu, who had been waiting for Zhao Gao to make a move in Yuyang Palace all day long, knew that the time had come.

This time, Fusu Mingliang invited Xiong Qi to his Yuyang Palace.

When the prince in the palace personally drove down to pay homage and invited Lord Changping to enter the palace, this incident shocked everyone in Xianyang City.

As the son of a Chu princess, he went to entertain the disgraced Lord Changping into the palace. This was simply unbelievable to outsiders.

But Ying Zheng took a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter.

He also wanted to see what Fusu could do.

On the one hand, he wanted to attack the nobles and treat the common people well; on the other hand, he was reluctant to let go of the foreign relatives of Chu in the court.
