Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 272: Do you want to test the emperor’s heart? (Please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
As Li Si became famous, His Majesty's face was also bright.

This is a debate for scholars all over the world to see.

It is also a debate between learning in government and learning in opposition.

Li Si won, which meant that Emperor Qin won.

Zhao Gao decided to find out what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking, because just now, His Majesty personally ordered someone to deliver a copy of the transcript to the prince.

Although, His Majesty made many copies of this copy and gave it back to Wang Wan, Feng Quji, Dunruo, Mao Jiao and others.

But the first person His Majesty the Emperor named to be delivered was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor still cares about the Prince.

Zhao Gao thought he had chosen the right time as usual, and when there was no one around, he suddenly faced Ying Zhengdao.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Ying Zheng suddenly raised his head, with a sharp flash in his eyes, which made Zhao Gao shudder.

Zhao Gao thought it was an illusion. He had been dealing with too many things recently and his eyes were dazzled.

Because His Majesty the Emperor would not look at him like this.

Zhao Gao calmed down and used the excuse he had prepared to say to Ying Zheng:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. In fact, Taixue is the crown prince's hard work. Of course, Taixue is for His Majesty the Emperor to recruit wise men from all over the world. But why is it that when all the disciples gathered together, His Majesty the Emperor did not let His Highness the Prince go? I listen It is said that when hundreds of schools of thought are discussing together, it will be lively. Li Jijiu alone can argue with all the disciples, but His Highness the Crown Prince is always good at debating and combining..."

As always, Zhao Gao did not continue to say the rest.

Ying Zheng put away his smile and put together the memorial notes he was working on.

Zhao Gao suddenly panicked, and then he realized that the look he saw just now was not an illusion.

"I have learned that Xu Lu will enter Xianyang as an official in the near future."

Xu Lu——

Zhao Gao only recognized one Xu Lu.

His son-in-law!
Zhao Gao immediately froze on the ground.

There was a sudden flash of lightning outside, and the night suddenly became as bright as day, and soon there was another rumble of thunder in the distance.

Lightning struck the ground mercilessly, crackling and whipping violently.

The rain outside suddenly fell hard and fast, as if someone suddenly smashed all the water drops that had accumulated for a long time to the ground.

There was a crackle of wind, rain, and thunder outside.

This day is very strange.

In Qinian Palace.

Ying Zheng's face looked very white under the light of the candle, and there was anger in his silence.

Hearing this, Zhao Gao was stunned for a long time, outside there was thunder and lightning, thunderstorms and strong winds, and he was in Qinian Palace.

Qinian Palace may be the most comfortable shelter from wind and rain in the world, but it is also the most dangerous place in the world.

That incident suddenly came to Zhao Gao's mind one by one, and then he conveyed some news to His Highness the Crown Prince one after another...

Although, the prince took the initiative to terminate his offer.

Zhao Gao's face had already turned pale, and his legs had become weak.

There is no use in bowing at this time.

When people are terrified, they will kneel down and beg for mercy.

This is the conclusion that Zhao Gao came to over time after serving Ying Zheng for a long time and watching from the sidelines.

Many people offended His Majesty the Emperor and knelt down to humiliate him in order to ask His Majesty the Emperor to change his mind.

Zhao Gaofu knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This matter was definitely not my intention."

This is the truth.

He didn't mean to win over the prince.

It was the prince who took the initiative to help him.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he tried his best to calm down.

Before he took office, the bloody struggle for power in the palace never stopped.But after he took charge, Xianyang Palace had only one master, and so does the world today.

This proves that he has indeed been negligent in some aspects. The succession to the throne has always been a big problem.If I'm not careful, I have eighteen sons under my knees.

But from another perspective, his original decision to establish the throne was not wrong.

A person who is not thirsty for power will never be a qualified emperor.

"How many years have you been with me?"

When Zhao Gao heard this, his eyes froze, and he panicked completely.

At this moment, he only felt as if his backbone was soaked in cold water, and his back was even colder, penetrating into his heart.

"Your Majesty, forgive me."

"Your Majesty forgive me."

"This matter is definitely not my intention."

"Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

…………

Zhao Gao lay on the ground and begged for mercy.

There was a reverberation of wind, rain, and thunder outside. The soldiers guarding the soldiers were standing outside, and the rain suddenly splashed on them. While flowing down the armor, it also invaded the civilian clothes inside.

This whimpering cry for mercy sounded very scary on such a rainy night.

The guard in charge of the security of the palace came in a hurry in the rain. He told Ying Zheng that some unnecessary defenses needed to be removed. The soldiers could stand guard in the rain, but there would be big problems.

Ying Zheng readily agreed.

Zhao Gao begged for mercy for a long time, but was looked at by the guard order. He looked quite embarrassed.

At this moment, he also understood the prince's embarrassment when he stood in the palace to watch the ministers.

However, Zhao Gao waited for a long time and still did not hear His Majesty the Emperor's voice to issue a verdict on his matter. Zhao Gao bravely raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng slightly.

Ying Zheng's face turned livid and he was very impatient.

Only then did Zhao Gao come to his senses.

"Back to His Majesty the Emperor, I have been in the palace for 24 years and have been with His Majesty the Emperor for 22 years."

Ying Zheng sat in the upper seat, immediately opened a silk book and wrote a few lines on it.

Then he glanced at Zhao Gao lightly and threw the silk book in front of Zhao Gao.

"I order you to be my servant, and you will be in charge of my traveling carriages and horses in the future."

what?
Zhao Gao was still immersed in extreme fear. He never expected that the promotion he had been looking forward to day and night would actually happen to him at this time.

Zhao Gao was still kneeling, but he had straightened up. He picked up the edict and read the words on it word by word.

It is indeed His Majesty the Emperor's handwriting, but there is no talisman.

Yu Yang was also horrified.

The matter has been known to everyone.

In order to seize the throne, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually joined forces with His Majesty the Emperor's cronies.

Zhao Gao looked at the edict, and surprises filled his heart for a while.

But Ying Zheng's face was still livid.

Zhao Gao himself felt guilty for Ying Zheng, so he spoke first.

"The subject is guilty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"I don't want to hear you say this. I will vigorously reward my meritorious ministers. You have worked hard for many years by my side. I have long wanted to reward you, but you were born as a criminal and came from the palace. You have been a hidden official for many years. , I can’t promote you anymore.”

"However, the last time you compiled the new law with Li Si, Hu Wujing and others was a great achievement. I have decided to promote you to the rank of Imperial Servant, ranking you among the nine ministers."

Zhao Gao's eyes widened when he heard the word Jiuqing.

Zhao Gao bowed.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your grace."

Ying Zheng didn't take this very seriously.

"I know that you only have one daughter. So I can forget about what happened last time."
