Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 400: Zhao Gao was afraid of crime and encouraged Zhao Cheng (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

At noon that day, Zhao Gao was chatting with his younger brother Zhao Cheng in his house.

Two brothers, Zhao Gao and Zhao Cheng, were chatting and drinking tea under the elm tree in the yard.

"Acheng, the Xianyang Order will be replaced in the near future. You usually work as a deputy general under the garrison in the palace. You have been guarding His Majesty's Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests for many years in the palace. You are the most suitable replacement for the Xianyang Order. Are you ready to change? I will introduce you to Your Majesty today."

Zhao Gao spoke with a proud face, and after finishing speaking, he took a sip of the tribute tea from the palace.

The spring flowers are white, and the fallen leaves are falling slightly on the skirts of the two brothers.

Zhao Cheng looked at his brother with admiration.

"Xianyang Order, that is the position responsible for the deployment of soldiers in Xianyang City. Although this position cannot be held in court, it is extremely important. If brother can ask for it for me, I will naturally be grateful."

Zhao Gao smiled.

"Between you and me, there is no need to be so polite. I usually arrange for the children of wealthy families to join the family as officials and the palace as errands. I have always wronged you. Now that there is such a lucrative vacancy, I will definitely not give it to others."

Zhao Cheng didn't look happy after hearing this, but his eyes were dark.

"Brother, I don't care about my official position. Brother has always treated me like a son, and our Zhao family was originally a clan family, but we have fallen to this. Although we are beautiful on the surface, we are always like a hidden official."

"This hidden official is inferior to the common people. Now his status as a prisoner is only slightly higher than that of a prisoner. Even if his brother is more talented and proficient in laws and regulations, he is still a member of a noble family."

Zhao Gao naturally knew who the aristocratic family Zhao Cheng was talking about was.

When Zhao Gao heard this, he naturally frowned.

"What I hope is to rely on my strength to help my brother stabilize his position in the palace."

"Although I am the deputy general of the garrison in the palace, I am also Lang Wei, but I can use my position to help my brother clean up some of the enemy's informants."

"Now my brother is thinking about my future, but I think my position in His Majesty's heart is still the most important thing."

Zhao Cheng looked serious:
"I heard that not long ago, that man came to trouble you again, brother. He colluded with Shangshu Ling and frequently complained about my brother in front of His Majesty, lest he live another day."

After Zhao Gao heard this, his lips turned purple.

Zhao Gao looked at the birds on the trees in the courtyard and said seriously:
"If you really care about my life, then you must take this job."

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he suddenly said emphatically:
"Your Majesty, he doesn't know that you are my biological brother."

Zhao Cheng was naturally surprised when he heard this.

"How could this be? But brother, both of you and I in the palace know about this."

"Maybe I knew it before, but from now on, no one will know it anymore."

"What's wrong? But what happened in the palace?"

Zhao Gao said extremely unwillingly:

"You are guarding the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests, so you don't know the changes in Zhangtai. In recent days, all my close associates in Zhangtai have been replaced."

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Cheng was surprised and scared after hearing this.

He also did things in the palace. Some things he did were not very dangerous, but once the emperor knew about it, there was only one way to go - death.

Zhao Gao felt angry because it was all caused by Meng Yi's hostility to him over the years.

"That man's brother is a general and a captain of the army, and he is also a minister with a very high status. Even the prime minister, Feng Quji, has to give him a lot of face."

"So, Your Majesty has listened to Meng Yi's slander."

"It's natural."

After hearing this, Zhao Cheng naturally sat down in his seat again, but when he saw that his brother was still calm and relaxed, he felt at ease again.

Meng Yi has the backing of Meng Tian, ​​and his elder brother also has the backing, and he is the biggest backing in the world.

Zhao Cheng felt relieved, with a happy look on his face:

"My brother's eyes have been removed, but he is still sitting here. Your Majesty has always been very kind to my brother. Now it seems that your Majesty still treats my brother as a confidant."

After Zhao Gao heard this, he looked at Zhao Cheng with a half-smile.

"Brother, what is this? Are you talking about Your Majesty?"

"I'm afraid that His Majesty has already begun to murder me."

After Zhao Cheng heard this, his heart dropped to the bottom.

"How could this be?"

After hearing this, Zhao Gao asked:

"How could this not be the case? With His Majesty's suspicion, the reason why He still keeps me here today is just because Your Majesty is reluctant to let go of our past friendship."

Zhao Cheng just felt strange after hearing this.

It is no joke that His Majesty is suspicious and uses torture to establish his authority.

One moment you are still alive and kicking, and the next moment, you will die because of a small thing.

Zhao Gao explained to his younger brother:
"Look at the dog in my yard. Yesterday he killed a chicken, but today I still keep it. Why?"

Zhao Cheng explained:
"The chicken is dead, but the dog is still useful. But if we keep the dog, won't the chicken still die?"

After Zhao Gao heard this, he smiled even more proudly:
"I listened to the trick and pulled out the dog's teeth, so I have no evidence to fight against him."

"So this eyeliner was replaced by my brother himself?"

"Exactly. I have served Your Majesty for many years, but to Your Majesty, I have always been nothing more than a dog. The reason why the dog is kept is because it is still useful. But if it is useless one day, Your Majesty will naturally not let me go. Once that happens, Now that Meng Yi has caught me, if I don't die by then, I will definitely lose my real power."

Zhao Gao is worthy of being Ying Zheng's confidant, and he indeed guesses Ying Zheng's thoughts accurately.

After Zhao Cheng heard this, he just felt a chill running down his spine and felt unknown in his heart.

"Brother is now?"

"I am now planning another way out for you and me."

Zhao Cheng was naturally surprised when he heard this.

"Is there another way? If my brother took the initiative to replace those eyeliners, wouldn't he cut off his arms?"

Zhao Gao heard this and said:
"Isn't it a good thing to lose my arms and have a stronger tree to rely on? There will be people to protect me."

big tree.

As Zhao Gao's younger brother, Zhao Cheng naturally knew that the prince had helped Zhao Gao marry his niece.

After Zhao Cheng heard everything, his scalp started to feel numb.

"Brother, you actually and..."

"The things that haven't happened are just me and Lord Dongyang helping each other."

Zhao Gao cannot commit rebellion now.

Moreover, the prince did not mean that.

Zhao Cheng was still scared after hearing this.

"I heard that there is no father and son in the palace, and my brother and Dongyang Lord are so closely related. One day, the matter will be exposed."

"So I cut off my arms to protect myself. As for you, go and serve as the Xianyang Order. I can't do this to others."

After hearing this, Zhao Cheng still felt it was inappropriate.

"Brother, you just think that His Majesty doesn't know about our relationship. Almost everyone in the Palace of Prayer, Lang Wei, knows about it, but I keep a low profile. Once Your Majesty hears about our relationship, then... why not let Yan Happy for this order. This person is greedy for money and lustful, with the appearance of a tiger and wolf, easy to control."

After Zhao Gao heard this, he said leisurely:
"Although Yan Le promoted me, he is not my relative. Speaking of which, he once intended to marry me. If I gave my daughter to him, we would be considered a family. But now, I am with a noble family. It is the favor of Lord Dongyang that a high-ranking official gets married."

"But I didn't expect that Lord Dongyang would not only show kindness to me, but also show kindness to Yan Le. Since this person is the prince's favorite, he naturally looks down on me, the doctor. He is close to the people in the prince's palace, and so on. Don't leave errands to him. Otherwise, if this person makes a slight mistake, my life will be completely in the hands of the prince. It is unwise."
