Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 237
After Xia Ke and Xue Ji are settled, it is natural that such a major matter needs to be reported to his mother, and some specific procedures also need to be handled by her mother.

"If you like to take them secretly, then you are the king of the dignified town, so you have to find some well-matched ladies as wives."

Who would have thought that when Ziying spoke out her thoughts, her mother Du Ling would push her back.

Now my son, as a prince under one person and above ten thousand people, if he married two maids as wives in a row, he would definitely be talked about by the world.

The mother's thoughts are also clear to Ziying, who is worried about her reputation being damaged, so she opposes her marrying Xia Ke and Xue Ji.

"It is precisely because I am the king of the town that I cannot marry the daughter of a powerful man." Ziying said rather helplessly: "If my concubine and wife are the daughters of all the generals and ministers, I am afraid that the one who cannot sleep will be the current emperor. "

Du Ling is not a stupid person, it's just that his son was involved in the matter, so he didn't turn around. Now that Ziying mentioned it, he immediately understood what Ziying meant.

Now that Ziying is enfeoffed as the king of the town, he is already an extremely human subject, and if Ziying wants to marry the daughter of a powerful man at this moment, he will be closely connected with the high-ranking officials in the court.

No matter how much the First Emperor trusted Ziying, he would probably be wary and suspect what Ziying wanted to do.

At Ziying's level, if you go further, there will only be that position.

Therefore, in order not to make the first emperor doubt him, and to protect himself, Ziying's plan is to keep a low profile as much as possible. Except for being forced to intervene in political affairs as little as possible, if necessary, he can pollute himself like Wang Jian did when he went to war.

Naturally, the communication with the ministers of the DPRK and China needs to be as little as possible.

After explaining it clearly with my mother, I don't need to think about the rest, and my mother will naturally arrange it for me.

Marrying Xia Ke and Xue Ji would have a certain impact on Ziying's reputation, but taking a maid as his wife can greatly reduce the suspicion of the first emperor, and Du Ling can still tell which is more important.

The marriage is settled, but Ziying finds that he is completely alone. This time, not only Sima Jingjing, but also Xia Ke and Xue Ji no longer play with him.

The euphemistic name is to avoid suspicion before the big marriage, and the idea of ​​Ziying kissing Fangze before marriage has never been successful.

……

These days, Ziying can only cultivate his health and nature.

On this day, Ying was holding a volume of ancient monuments to study carefully, when there was a knock on the door, Ziying saw that it was Yan Meng who was appointed by him as a prince and joined the army, so he immediately put down the book in his hand.

Most of the matters in the government do not need to be dealt with by Yan Meng, he is mainly responsible for the handling of some information from the Momen in Xianyang City and other areas.

When Yan Meng came here, he naturally had something to decide for himself.

"Young man, the mansion recruited a group of servants the day before yesterday, but found a nail among them." Yan Meng said.

Nails refer to the people who break into the mansion to find out the news. Ziying, as the only prince, wants to place one or two people around Ziying.

However, the Mo family is indeed the originator of experts in this field, and many people have been placed in Ziying's residence, but few of them can escape Yan Meng's investigation.

After all, Ziying is a matter of Mo Sect giant, and absolutely must not let others know, so every servant in the mansion, Yan Meng, will use some power of Mo Sect to probe his roots.

Ordinary nails can be pulled out, but this time Yan Meng reported to himself alone, it must be the person who installed it.

"Could it be His Majesty's side?" Ziying asked with a frown.

"No!" Yan Meng replied: "I sent someone to investigate this person, and it turned out that he was sent by Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion. Afterwards, I followed the clues and found something more serious, so I immediately reported it to the giant. .”

"Ooh, what's the matter?"

"Zhao Gao not only planted spies in the king's mansion of our town, but also planted spies in the mansions of the major officials in Xianyang.

What's even more strange is that Zhao Gao secretly kept a group of unscrupulous sons outside the city as his subordinates, dancing and practicing with sticks every day. " Yan Meng said like this.

When Ziying heard this, he became thoughtful: "Don't pull out that nail yet, just keep an eye on him, you go down first."

Zhao Gao was just the CRRC Commander who was in charge of the palace's chariots and horses, and his salary was only six hundred shi. How could he have the funds and courage to place so many spies in the palace of the ministers.

Not to mention recruiting a large number of libertines to dance with knives and guns.

Although in history Zhao Gao could be said to be bold enough to play Qin Er Shi in his hands, but at the moment when the first emperor was alive, he was at the peak of his spring and autumn, and Ziying did not believe that Zhao Gao would have the courage to do such a thing.

Thinking about Zhao Gao's identity and the favor of the King of Qin, it is not difficult to figure out who is responsible for Zhao Gao's move.

Zhao Gao should only be responsible for handling some of these things for the first emperor, monitoring the officials, at best he is the commander of Jin Yiwei and the role of Dongchang Changgong.

It seems that his decision to be a man with his tail between his legs is very correct.

However, Yan Meng was able to check everything with ease. It can also be seen that the "secret organization" that Zhao Gao is in charge of is still very simple and primitive. Apart from placing some spies to investigate the news, it has no other powers. .

……

Zhao Gao's unprofessionalism was quickly revealed, and with the development of his "business", a basket was soon opened.

Huang Yu, a doctoral officer, has always advocated that it should follow the example of Shang and Zhou Xing's enfeoffment, and for this reason, he actively worked together to hope that the ministers of the DPRK and China could continue to write letters to the first emperor with him.

However, the dignified doctor officer was killed by a group of thugs in his home in broad daylight. The most important thing is that this group of people was also captured by the new general-born Nei Shi Mengtian, and then he confessed their mastermind behind the scenes. Zhao Gao, the order of Chefu.

And Meng Tian was not ambiguous at all, he understood Zhao Gao's position in Zhao Zheng's heart, and he knew that if he moved slowly, he would be blocked by the first emperor.

The group of prodigal sons that Zhao Gao raised were naturally not conscientious ones. When they went to the lobby and saw the situation, they told Zhao Gao clearly about Zhao Gao's arrangement for them to assassinate Huang Yu.

After finding out Zhao Gao's illegal facts, he arranged for his subordinates to take Zhao Gao down in one fell swoop, taking advantage of the time when Zhao Gao was out of the palace to handle errands without reporting to King Qin.

Zhao Gao naturally couldn't quibble in the face of irrefutable evidence, but he clenched a little bit that he had a personal grudge with Huang Yu, so he bought the murder to assassinate him.

Since Zhao Gao admitted that he was the chief envoy, Meng Tian should have sentenced Zhao Gao to beheaded. If the guards at the gate of the city hadn't seen Zhao Gao being arrested and hurriedly reported back, Shi Huang hurriedly sent someone to rescue Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao was beheaded by the swift Meng Tian.

This incident caused a great uproar in the entire city of Xianyang. Zhao Gao was just an eunuch, but he openly arranged for someone to assassinate the dignified doctor, which naturally aroused great concern in Xianyang.
