Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 401: Stepping on Two Boats (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
"This Yan Le, speaking of it, it was because of my promotion that he gradually became a servant in the palace. Later, because of his brother, he was able to take care of the Lishan Pavilion, and his status gradually increased. He was far away from the palace, how could he do this? Get close to the prince."

What Zhao Cheng couldn't figure out, Zhao Gao naturally couldn't figure out either.

"I only know that the prince values ​​this person. I can't be kind to Yan Le anymore and let him fend for himself outside the palace. Lishan Hall is located in a remote place. If anything goes wrong, Yan Le will be killed. Landing on the ground. If he has second thoughts about me, it's not difficult to deal with him. But in short, we can't get too close. Unless..."

A malicious thought flashed through Zhao Gao's mind, which sent a chill down his spine.

"Unless what?"

Zhao Cheng did not expect that his brother would hide so many things from him and had never told him before.

From this point of view, his brother is now in danger of being publicly impeached by Meng Yi, and by that time, his brother's backer is Dongyang Jun.

Zhao Cheng vaguely noticed something.

Zhao Gao only said:
"It's nothing."

Zhao Cheng said:
"His Majesty took the elixir and suffered great physical losses. Although there were no major events in the past four years, your Majesty worked hard and slept hard, and he has long been sick from overwork. Even so, your Majesty still held on. In order to stabilize the four directions, your Majesty came to Three tours to the east within four years have cost a lot of money, material and manpower, and some people have long been tired."

"I was on duty at the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests and heard a lot of rumors. Recently, His Majesty was afraid that his death was imminent and seeing that the DPRK was stable, so he wanted to attack Beihu to complete his hegemony. He is so strong-minded and regards himself as a god. Although no one in the world can do it, in the end it is just harming one’s own body.”

"I heard from doctors that your Majesty's health is declining day by day, and he may die soon. Your Majesty is now hating outsiders for talking about death, and he is thinking about how to prolong his life and take more rare medicines in the world to prolong his life."

After hearing this, Zhao Gao naturally praised his brother.

"Strike first and strike later to control others. What you are doing now is indeed the right thing to do. I will not hide it from you. There are many people in the government waiting for this day, but we still have to look at the timing. If it is not an extraordinary situation, I will not rashly turn against the crown prince. As His Majesty is, once the matter is exposed, you and my brothers can only die in hell."

On another day, it would be better for the prince to do such a dangerous thing by himself.

If the prince's situation has become a success, then he will go with the flow and give the prince a favor. When the time comes, he will ask the prince to grant him some land and he will return to his hometown.But if the prince fails, he must get rid of this burden in time to avoid being implicated.

After all, the prince has not done anything serious these years.

And the interesting thing is that the prince seems to have a discord with the Meng brothers.

"Brother, I'm very confused. You replaced the palace spy and cut off your arms. Did you mistrust an expert?"

"Brother, with Meng Yi's personality, once he finds any clues about me, even if His Majesty is there, my people will be replaced. Now someone is just reminding me to make preparations early so that there is nothing wrong with the investigation. Certificate. And I moved all those people to other places."

"Where?"

While Zhao Gao and Zhao Cheng were talking, they suddenly heard a dog barking in the yard.

Then, a violent sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the yard.

Zhao Gao, as a doctor, naturally knows the sound best.

"Here we come, it seems that my life is about to be held in Meng Yi's hands today."

"Brother—"

Zhao Cheng looked worried.

The servant in front of the door hurriedly came to report:

"I am reporting to the Commander-in-Chief that someone has come from the palace and wants to arrest you for questioning."

Zhao Gao's eyes naturally stern after hearing this.

What Shen Yu said was indeed true.

"Hurry and hide in the woodshed in the backyard. With the style of Xianyang Palace Langwei, people will be sent to guard the front and back of the courtyard. If you are with me at this time, I am afraid you will be taken away. When the time comes, Meng Yi will tell us brothers The two of them started an attack together, and I'm afraid it will affect you. If you two brothers live in important positions together, His Majesty will definitely reduce your position. You stay in the yard first, and then come back when I am taken away by them."

Zhao Cheng nodded after hearing this, then picked up his clothes and walked quickly to the backyard.

Sure enough, Lang Wei had already arrived at the door of the backyard and blocked the door.

"Brother is indeed very kind." Immediately, Zhao Cheng became very angry and said, "Meng Yi, a villain, doesn't want to see my brother being favored. He has repeatedly teamed up with traitors to speak ill of my brother in front of His Majesty. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely get rid of the Meng family. We, the Zhao Brothers, must show you how powerful this Shangqing is."

……

……

……

Zhao Gao was quickly escorted into Zhangtai Palace.

When Zhao Gao entered the palace, his face was covered with dust and his eyes were filled with fear.

From a distance, he saw Shangqing Meng Yi, who was crowned high on the list, he was a Ting Wei, and it was his duty to handle this matter.

When Meng Yi saw Zhao Gao, he naturally didn't have a good face. He glared angrily, his eyes were full of indignation, and he wanted Zhao Gao to die.

As Zhao Gao's master for many years, Ying Zheng knew when he saw his appearance that what Meng Yi reported was not groundless.

Ying Zheng's face was livid, which was exactly what Zhao Gao wanted.

As Ying Zheng's slave for many years, when Zhao Gao saw Ying Zheng's expression, he knew that His Majesty was not really angry at this time.

Zhao Gao was naturally happy to see the emperor like this. He had more chances of winning and could save his life.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

"You still have the nerve to come see me."

After hearing this, Zhao Gao knelt down on the ground without saying anything.

"I wonder why your Majesty summoned your ministers?"

Meng Yi's face was firm and stern, and he snorted extremely contemptuously.

"At this point, are you still pretending to be innocent? Bring this person up."

Meng Yi shouted loudly, which slightly stirred up waves in Ying Zheng's heart.

A small ripple rippled in Ying Zheng's heart.

Zhao Gao must be a villain. If he were not a villain, how could he help him do something that would be difficult for him to do?

Meng Yi is a real gentleman, upright and upright, it's just that two people like this must be incompatible.

In the past, Ying Zheng used the attitude of his ministers towards Zhao Gao to test his loyalty and virtuousness. Those who are close to Zhao Gao must be traitors, and those who are far away from Zhao Gao must be high scholars.

But whether he is a traitor or a noble scholar is not important to Ying Zheng at all.

What matters is whether this person is used by him.

Today's matter was exposed by Yu Yang.

The main blame is that Xiao He worked too hard and did his job so well that he was promoted to the county government within three years. This led to Zhao Gao's old cases being uncovered.

Even Yu Yang gave up on it.

After all, there are so many big and small things in the world, and to be honest, some small things really don’t matter.

Your Majesty loves power and refuses to work with others in politics. He only holds the position of Prime Minister to assist the government and appease the officials.

(The Qin Emperor’s system itself was very imperfect. The emperor could easily tire himself to death, and it was especially easy for others to take advantage of loopholes.)
