Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 152 Zhao Gaojin Slandered
In Xianyang City, people are panicking now.There was a look of horror in the eyes of countless people.

Five days ago, the on-duty Taishi Ling reported to Qin Shihuang Yingzheng that he should keep his heart, and then the news spread in Xianyang City at an astonishing speed. Up to now, in Xianyang City, no one knows about this news. To the extent that no one knows.

Tai Shiling, at this time, was not only responsible for the records of history books, but also needed part-time astronomical observations. He was the earliest astronomer who observed astronomy in ancient China, and enjoyed a detached position in the imperial court.

Keeping one's heart in awe has been a sign of disaster since ancient times. Therefore, this news is also spreading rapidly to the surroundings from the base of Xianyang City.

In Xianyang City, the common people are waiting for the imperial court to come up with a countermeasure, but, looking forward to seeing through, the imperial court has not even issued a notice.

Immediately, panic spread in Xianyang City, and countless people talked about it.

Thanks to the fact that this is Xianyang, Fusu's anti-defamation order is working well here, but at this moment, it has shown a counterproductive effect. Many bold people dare to say anything, almost clearly stating what Ying Zheng represents. If the imperial court does not have legitimacy, it will provoke the anger of God, and such a celestial phenomenon will appear.

At the same time, in Xianyang City, a rumor spread like wildfire that Yingzheng was not the son of the former king, but the son of former prime minister Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji who had an affair.

Before that, if someone heard this news, it is estimated that the person who said this would be turned over to the government immediately, so as to ask for a reward.
But when Yinghuo Shouxin appeared, the news immediately became very popular, and the release of the defamation order added fuel to the flames. For a while, no one dared to speak out to refute.

Because Yinghuo keeps one's heart, it is God's will, and to refute it is to violate God's will, believe in ghosts and gods, and believe in God. This is the common state of the people in this era, and no one will choose this way.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped all the way from the gate of Xianyang City, and the knight riding on the horse shouted: "Hedong emergency report: Baoding came out of Fen Sui, the sun is shining, and the glory is in Qin."

Then he ran all the way towards Xianyang Palace, leaving only a group of people standing confusedly on both sides of the street.

When someone reacted, he asked the people around him, "What did the knight say just now?"

Immediately, someone repeated what the knight said earlier: "The treasure tripod comes out of Fen Sui, the sun is shining, and the glory is in Qin."

The person who said this has not reacted at this time, but repeated it mechanically in his mouth, and repeated it a few times. The person suddenly raised his head, as if he realized something, and immediately saw it with the same shocked expression. with his people.

Bao Ding came out of Fen Sui, just this sentence, someone has automatically figured out that this is Jiu Ding, otherwise how can the word Bao Ding be matched?

And the subsequent additions, in the eyes of everyone, are even more powerful illustrations of this point.

When the news of Jiuding's birth hit Xianyang City at this time, it was like throwing a huge boulder into a pool.

In the city of Xianyang, a single stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and there were heated discussions.

…………

In Xianyang Palace, Zhao Gao stood beside Qin Shihuang Yingzheng like a pillar. Since Taishi Ling reported the news of Yinghuo Shouxin to Yingzheng, Yingzheng was slightly calmed by Fusu He was a little restless, and looked at everyone with suspicion at this moment.

There are always people who want to harm me, which undoubtedly describes Yingzheng's mentality at this moment.

In the past five days, more than a dozen servants and eunuchs in Xianyang Palace have been executed by Yingzheng because of a wrong word or a small action that aroused the suspicion of the first emperor.

Such an incident intensified the atmosphere of panic in the palace. Everyone became terrified, for fear that a slight inadvertent move would offend the first emperor.

The fine wine slid down Ying Zheng's lips and down his throat. It was just such a sweet wine in the past, but at this moment, Ying Zheng couldn't taste it no matter what.

Yingzheng felt extremely irritable in his heart. After Yinghuo Shouxin happened, he summoned the left and right prime ministers and Jiuqing to discuss, but no one could come up with a solution, which made him very angry.

Just at this moment, a little eunuch ran in, handed a memorial to Zhao Gao from his arms, and then withdrew.

Zhao Gao opened it and scanned it for a while, and then showed an extremely embarrassed look.

Sensing something strange around him, Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao and said, "What's written in the report?"

After Zhao Gao heard it, he immediately went to the bottom of the steps, lay down respectfully on the ground, and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I dare not speak."

"I'll let you tell."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the report, there is a heated discussion in Xianyang City, and everyone is talking about the matter of keeping one's heart. Not only that, but there is also a rumor in Xianyang City. The rumor says...says..."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Ying Zheng, and said decisively: "Rumors say that His Majesty is not the son of the former king, but the illegitimate son of Prime Minister Lu Buwei."

When he heard these words, Ying Zheng stood up suddenly, and the bronze title in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and then kicked again, Ying Zheng kicked the case in front of him.

"Bastard, who said that?" Ying Zheng pointed at Zhao Gao, with anger hidden in his face, and scolded.

Zhao Gao quietly walked to Ying Zheng's side, supported Ying Zheng, and said, "I think it doesn't matter who said these things, what matters is why they dare to spread such rumors."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao suspiciously, and said, "Continue talking."

"My humble minister thought that in the past, who would have dared to say such outrageous words, he would have been arrested and handed over to the Ting Wei for adjudication." Zhao Gao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember a few words?" The anti-defamation order from a month ago?"

"This decree was proposed by Fusu. What's your opinion?" Ying Zheng asked with narrowed eyes.

Zhao Gao immediately lay down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, you also know that Mr. Fusu has always been at odds with this humble minister, but for His Majesty's sake, this humble minister still wants to speak."

Judging from the fact that all the soldiers he sent were killed and from his observations over the past few months, Zhao Gao concluded that there must be a connection between Yingzheng and Fusu. However, this connection is very private and few people I know, even Zhao Gao doesn't know the specific content.

Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said: "All this is caused by the promulgation of the anti-defamation order. The head of Guizhou is ignorant, how can they be allowed to talk about the affairs of the court and His Majesty, it is precisely because of this anti-defamation order that the rumors in Xianyang are now everywhere. In this situation, I believe that only by abolishing the defamation order and governing with severe punishments can this kind of criticism be stopped."
