Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 273

Not to mention how Zhao Gao spent the night, anyway, when he walked out of his big tent the next day, he had dark circles under his eyes.

The guards came in and out all night and never stopped.

However, what Zhao Gao and Ziying didn't expect was that a guard who was outside Ziying's tent quietly handed over a piece of cloth full of words to another eunuch who was trusted by the first emperor when he was changing defenses in the early morning. stupid hands.

Not long after the first emperor was wiped by the waiters, the cloth was in the hands of Ying Zheng.

After reading it silently, Ying Zheng put the cloth on the table without saying a word.

After the meal, when the motorcade was leaving, Zhao Gao hurriedly came to the first emperor's tent with a roll of sheepskin in his hand.

Although the first emperor knew that Ziying and Zhao Gao had met in private last night, he didn't know what the two talked about, but seeing Zhao Gao rushing over, he knew that it must be related to the secret discussion between the two last night.

"I dare you to ask the first emperor not to ride in the imperial chariot, but to stay in the rear carriage." Zhao Gao fell to his knees with a plop as soon as he entered, and continued with the parchment with both hands:
"Last night, I sent people to secretly investigate today's route. They found that Bolangsha Mountain is high in dense forests, and the road is winding. It is very easy for the remnants of the six kingdoms to take over and plot rebellion."

The leather scroll in Zhao Gao's hand had already been taken over by the eunuch Yu and handed over to Shi Huangdi.

With Zhao Gao's previous explanation, Ying Zheng understood it when he saw the picture. This should be the topographic map of Bolangsha, and it is indeed a good place for assassination.

With the on-the-spot survey by the soldiers last night, this map is much more detailed and detailed than Ziying drew it based on his thinking. The ink on the scroll is still fresh, and it can be seen that it should have been drawn overnight.

Closing the long scroll, abnormally, he didn't make any sign, but looked out the window peacefully. Ziying's tent was not too far away from the first emperor. From a distance, he could see Ziying, who had already woken up early, talking cordially with the sergeant outside the tent. , I can't see the airs of a country being a king at all.

Looking at the corner of Shi Huang's mouth, there was a faint smile.

"Gu treats you like this, but do you still care about the safety of this widow?" Ying Zheng thought in his heart.

Yu secretly tipped Ziying about his itinerary, which he tacitly agreed to, and also wanted to see what purpose Ziying had for inquiring about these things.

At this moment, he has already figured out what Ziying and Zhao Gao said last night, and also understood the reason why he inquired about his itinerary.

Ziying must have sensed the danger of today's trip, knowing that it may not be of much use to speak rashly in this situation.

So I found Zhao Gao, who had the opportunity to change his mind, to do this.

For this reason, maybe my nephew would not hesitate to condescend to Zhao Gao, an eunuch whom he didn't like at all.

As a generation of emperor Yingzheng, he naturally understood that if something happened to him, no matter which direction the follow-up development took, Ziying, the Chang'an Lord with unparalleled influence in the army, would definitely live a much better life than now.

However, he did not choose a direction that was beneficial to him, but chose his own safety.

This made Ying Zheng feel a lot of emotion.

Speaking of it, Ziying not only laid down a vast territory for Daqin, but also saved his own life.

And since the generation of his father, Cheng Yu, he has owed them a lot.

Ziying offended himself several times, just because of some untouchables who he considered useless.

"Great Qin is in my hands. Give me a hundred years, and the battle flags of Great Qin will definitely be planted in all regions! Longevity, longevity, even if there is a glimmer of hope, don't miss it."

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's hands clenched into fists involuntarily, and his brows also became sharper.

But looking at Ziying from a distance, there is indeed a softness in his eyes.

"Yunzhi"

After a long time, Zhao Gao heard the two words from Ying Zheng's mouth.

But it was just two words, but Zhao Gao, who was familiar with Ying Zheng's character, was stunned for a while.

After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, Yingzheng's spirit can be said to have reached its peak. Not only did he think that his achievements surpassed the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors in ancient times, but he even ignored some of the legendary gods.

Before going on a tour, the Xiangjun Daochang, which was hailed as the god of Xiangshui in Chu, was ordered by the first emperor to eradicate all the trees.

Therefore, Zhao Gao never thought that Yingzheng would agree to bypass Bolangsha, which seemed to show weakness. Instead, he took the next best step and hoped that Emperor Shi Huang would agree to temporarily "grievance" and take the second car.

Even so, in the eyes of a generation of emperors, I am afraid that they will lose their status. For this reason, Zhao Gao has prepared a large set of rhetoric, hoping to change Ying Zheng's thinking.

He never thought that it would be so smooth for Ying Zheng to agree to his proposal.

This made all the words he racked his brains all night useless.

In fact, according to the character of the first emperor, it really took a lot of thinking to let him abandon the imperial chariot and take the rear car because of some illusory thieves without much reason.

He did not believe that under his rule, anyone would dare to commit such treason, even if it was the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

It's just that at this moment he thought that it should be Ziying "condescending" for his safety, which made Zhao Gao speak.

I don't want Ziying's "filial piety" to go to waste.

Ziying's behavior inadvertently touched a long-lost feeling in Ying Zheng's heart called family affection.

Although this emotion may not last long in the heart of the iron-blooded emperor.

As for why Ziying knew the terrain here, Yingzheng was not suspicious. After all, Ziying had traveled to most of the empire before, and it is not impossible to remember the terrain here once passing by.

The convoy of Shi Huang's parade got up and started on the road after dinner, and the sun was rising, and the team arrived outside Bolangsha.

After stopping briefly again, Zhao Gao sent another 1000 troops into the mountain to search in case there was no danger, and then marched into Bolangsha after confirming that there was no danger.

There were more than [-] ministers, guards and sergeants accompanying the first emperor, and they were immediately pulled into a convoy several miles long on the stretching path, with teams of cavalry leading the way at the front, and a group of fierce Qin army infantry at the end. pawn.

Guarding the carriage of the first emperor and the accompanying concubines and ministers in the middle.

The most conspicuous thing in the convoy was the imperial chariot of the first emperor. The width of a single car almost filled the entire path.

One can tell at a glance that the material is made of high-quality ancient wood. The chariot is carved with legendary beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and gluttonous beasts. Pearls, agates, gemstones, and gold are only used as external decorations. .

From a distance, it looks like a palace pulled by horses.

In the smaller carriages at the back are the carriages of the first emperor's accompanying concubines and his son Fusu.

Although it is not as good as the first emperor's imperial chariot in regulation and decoration, it is still beautiful.

At this time, because of the smooth unification of the six kingdoms, the first emperor did not bring several auxiliary chariots that were exactly the same as the imperial chariot as in history.

Therefore, at this time, Yingzheng was sitting behind Fusu's car, and the young master Fusu was also kneeling and serving him.
