Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 376 Conspiracy
Han Tan pondered for a while, obviously thinking about what Zhao Gao said, Zhao Gao didn't rush, but just waited patiently.

He believed that Han Tan would make a wise choice.

Han Tan frowned, and suddenly said: "The CRRC government order, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me alone?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao smiled slightly and said, "Han Gong, don't worry, everything is within my expectation."

"Now that Meng Yi has left here, we just need to convince Mr. Hu Hai and Prime Minister Li to kill Mr. Fusu, and then this matter will definitely be accomplished."

"Kill Mr. Fusu?" Han Tan's face showed a look of horror at the right time.

Zhao Gao didn't think it was strange, this is the reaction that a normal person should have, in order to plan this matter, he didn't discuss it with Han Tan beforehand, so when he said these words at this moment, Han Tan's reaction was just as it should be .

Zhao Gao's face was gloomy, and he said: "Han Gong, now that things are going on, do we still have a way out?"

"Once Mr. Fusu succeeds to the throne, will there still be a way for us to survive?" Zhao Gaoyin said compassionately: "It's simply, it's better for us to strike first."

"Killing Fusu, this is what we must do." Zhao Gao's words were filled with coldness, and he said, "Only by removing the stumbling block of Fusu, Mr. Huhai can successfully inherit the throne."

"This..." Han Tan showed hesitation, and said, "Will Mr. Hu Hai agree? This is a serious crime of usurping power and treason."

Zhao Gao chuckled twice, and said, "Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to be an emperor?"

"As for Prime Minister Li..." Zhao Gao smiled sinisterly, and said: "Li Si has always been at odds with the Meng family, and the Meng family has friendly relations with Fusu. Now that Fusu inherits the throne, the Li family may want to It's over!"

Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Han Tan didn't show his expression, but his palms hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. With such careful calculations and insight into people's hearts, Zhao Gao hadn't revealed anything to him before, which shows that Zhao Gao acted cautiously and rigorously.

Zhao Gao looked at Han Tan's face, and said: "Han Gong, don't blame me for not telling you in advance, it really has too much to do with this matter, now Brother Han is willing to help me, please make a quick decision."

Obviously, Zhao Gao needs to know Han Tan's attitude after wasting so much talk. If Han Tan is unwilling to submit, then Zhao Gao must deal with it immediately to avoid any future troubles.

Han Tan also sensed the faint killing intent in Zhao Gao's eyes, and said: "The CRRC government order, when I took office, I said that I would like to serve you like your parents. Now, what are you talking about? Whenever Mr. Zhao gives you any orders, Han Tan will do his best to serve you."

Seeing Han Tan's attitude, Zhao Gao was delighted, and he trusted Han Tan even more.However, he still declined and said: "Brother Han, there is no need to do this. You and I have already agreed to call each other brothers. Why do you have to do this?"

Sensing the change in Zhao Gao's address, Han Tan also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "My lord, the most important thing now is to divide it into two parts. First, Mr. Fu Su is in the accompanying car , Only by killing Mr. Fusu can Mr. Huhai succeed to the throne. The second is to persuade Mr. Huhai to agree to this matter, and let Prime Minister Li fall to us."

"In this way, great things can be accomplished."

Hearing Han Tan's words, Zhao Gao didn't doubt that he was there. Han Tan's words were all from his point of view, thinking about these things for him.

Han Tan continued: "Young Master Hu Hai is a student of the magistrate, so Han Tan thought that it would be appropriate for the magistrate to persuade him. As for Mr. Fusu, it is better to let his subordinates do it for him."

"Huh?" Zhao Gao was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect Han Tan to make such a request on his own initiative.

It's just that I trust Han Tan even more in my heart, which means that as long as Han Tan can kill Mr. Fusu, then Han Tan is undoubtedly a grasshopper tied to the same rope with him, and there is no other way to kill him. May disengage.

Zhao Gao slowly asked: "Brother Han, what are you going to do?"

Killing Fusu is also the most important part of the plan, otherwise, with the current status of Prince Fusu, as long as he is alive, he can gather a group of elite soldiers. By then, it is still unknown who will win the battle.

Han Tan thought for a while, and said, "My lord, I have a little stupid opinion, so I'd like to ask my lord to judge."

"Young Master Fusu has some disbelief and doubts about both of us. Why don't we start today, by His Majesty's order, to give Fusu some meals every day, and after a few days, we will dispel Fusu's vigilance. At that time , we can secretly poison our meals.”

"Okay, great plan!" Zhao Gao also felt that Han Tan's plan was very ingenious.

Han Tan thought for a while, and said, "However, my lord, there is still one aspect of this plan that is not very thorough, I'm afraid..."

"where?"

Han Tan said: "This poison is not easy to find. If Fusu remains vigilant and uses a silver needle to detect the toxin in the meal, wouldn't it be a waste of success?"

Silver needle detection, in this era, is no longer a little-known thing.

During the 500 years of chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what happened?

Hearing this, Zhao Gao smiled slightly, and slowly took out a bottle from his arms, saying: "This thing is called lead essence (mercury), which is extracted from cinnabar mine and put into dishes. It is colorless and tasteless. Even a silver needle can’t detect it.”

Han Tan was very surprised. You must know that cinnabar can be detected by a silver needle, but it is the lead essence extracted from cinnabar, which cannot be detected by a silver needle.

But since Zhao Gao said so, he must have full confidence when he thinks about it.

Han Tan took the vial from Zhao Gao's hand, and said, "In the few days of spare time, please go ahead and persuade Lord Hu Hai and Prime Minister Li."

"Okay!" The two looked at each other, and Zhao Gao felt extremely happy.

Walking out of the car, with the cold wind blowing, Han Tan frowned slightly, touched the small bottle in his bosom quietly, looked at Zhao Gao's back, showing deep fear.

Zhao Gao was able to hide such a poison on his body, wouldn't it make people feel chills?
However, Han Tan knew exactly what choice he should make.

Zhao Gao, however, stood outside the carriage pretending to be, and ordered the eunuchs to bring in the same meal.

After a while, Zhao Gao listened attentively, and then said to the crowd: "Your Majesty said, today's abalone and sea cucumber soup is good, and I will give Prince Fusu a first-class abalone and sea cucumber soup."

Fusu, who was standing aside, was even more puzzled, but at this moment, his expression remained unchanged, and he respectfully said his promise.

At this time, Zhao Gao listened again, and then said: "Your Majesty asked, Prime Minister, where are we now?"

Li Si hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's the sand dunes."
