Chapter 121 Section 4: Zhao Gaoqi himself

It's time to introduce Zhao Gao.Zhao Gao, surnamed Zhao, belonged to the same family as the Zhao royal family, but they had more than ten clothes, and they had long been estranged.Zhao Gao's father was castrated for his crime.Zhao Gao's mother, on the other hand, was accepted as a servant of the official family and became a tool for people to vent their desires.Zhao Gao and several of his brothers were born under such circumstances.Therefore, although Zhao Gao's surname is Zhao, he has no blood relationship with the Zhao family. Zhao Gao is the same as Wei Xiaobao, his mother greets him and sees him off, but his biological father is unknown.Zhao Gao and Wei Xiaobao are different again, Wei Xiaobao is a fake eunuch, Zhao Gao is a real eunuch.He and his brothers have been purified since childhood.

Despite such a humble background and such an unfair fate, Zhao Gao still got the chance to stand out through his own efforts.After becoming an adult, Zhao Gao was tall and strong, with unsurpassed courage, and was appreciated by Yingzheng. He was appointed as the official order of CRRC and took charge of the road car.Zhao Gao was kind, shrewd and capable, and won the favor of Yingzheng. Soon after, he was granted a license to concurrently perform the seal order and take charge of the Yuxi imperial edict.Knowing that Zhao Gao is proficient in prison law, Ying Zheng ordered him to teach his youngest son Hu Hai and serve as Hu Hai's private teacher.

Just when Zhao Gao's life was going smoothly, he suddenly committed a serious crime (his crime can no longer be traced today), Ying Zheng was furious, and Meng Yi was admitted according to law.After Yingzheng personally confessed, Meng Yi naturally did not dare to bend the law, and sentenced Zhao Gao to death for his crime, and his eunuch status was removed.The verdict has been handed down, but Ying Zheng suddenly remembered Zhao Gao's good fortune, thinking of his quickness, he specially pardoned him and restored his official title. Ying Zheng turned his back on his promises, abandoned Zhao Gao at first, and ended up in chaos, which made Meng Yi very angry. Aren't you kidding me!So he fought hard in front of Yingzheng, urging Zhao Gao to be killed, and said, "Zhao Gao's crime must be killed according to the law. Zhao Gao, a courtier, how can he stay by His Majesty's side for a long time?"

Brothers Ying Zheng and Meng Yi have been companions since childhood, and their relationship is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary monarch and minister.Therefore, despite Meng Yi's stern words, Ying Zheng didn't think he was disobedient, but laughed and said, "You don't know something, and the courtiers have their own goodness. In the current court, all the princes, every time they fight against the court, they will not If you ask me, you must listen, so as to conform to his wishes. If there are no one or two sycophants around, and I seldom obey me, even though I am the emperor, what joy will I have? Moreover, Zhao Gao is quite talented, and talents are rare. Forgive me. .”

Ying Zheng's words were half joking and half serious.Meng Yi replied seriously, "Eunuchs are virtuous without talent. Zhao Gao often serves His Majesty. The more talented he is, the more worrisome he will be. I hope His Majesty will think deeply." Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Why do we have to do everything to eliminate evil? For example, when a person gets athlete's foot, it's not too pleasant to scratch it from time to time. You don't have to worry too much. With me here, how can Zhao Gao be a traitor?" Meng Yi was in a hurry, and said loudly, "The laws of the country cannot be broken, and Zhao Gao must be killed."

Ying Zheng was also anxious, and said, "If you want to kill Zhao Gao, wait for me a hundred years later." When Ying Zheng said this, Meng Yi didn't dare to say more.Zhao Gao was lucky enough to recover his life, but he also forged a deep hatred with Meng Shi from then on.Now he still has Ying Zheng to protect him, Meng Yi can't do anything to him, once Ying Zheng is a hundred years old, won't he be sure to die?Zhao Gao hated and was afraid. Although he wanted to take revenge, he had no choice but to have Yingzheng's trust in Mengshi, which made him not only dare not enter into Mengshi's slander, but would often speak good things about Mengshi in front of Yingzheng against his will. .

Having said that, if Zhao Gao died before Yingzheng, and Yingzheng was intimidating, Zhao Gao might be a good eunuch, and he could only be a good eunuch, so as not to cause chaos that would destroy the empire in the future. However, life makes no assumptions.If you can assume, what will life look like?Dario has a poem: 〖I was a soldier once, Sleeping on Queen Cleopatra's bed...〗 Huangfu of the Tang Dynasty felt that this was not beautiful enough, so he wrote "Born to the World", saying: 〖Being born as a man, breaking the barriers, getting out of the mud... riding a dragon and covering the blue clouds, visiting the eight districts... going up to the gate of the sky, pointing directly to the emperor's residence... once in love with the Jade Emperor, and guarding the sky every night Shu.How many people are the emperors?Hundreds and thousands are fantasies...the beginning and end of heaven and earth, the vastness is joy.Looking down at the world, the dung flies and maggots. 〗

Ancient and modern fantasies, this is the most :) Closer to home, Zhao Gao saw that the deadline for Yingzheng had come, and he was right in saying that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry. Zhao Gao was probably more eager to know about Yingzheng's arrangements than anyone else.It's about his life and death, how can he not be in a hurry?If the son Fusu is established as the prince and inherits the throne, Mengshi will be reused, and if Mengshi is reused, Zhao Gao will die.If his student Hu Hai is established as the prince, based on Hu Hai's trust and reliance on him, not only will his life be safe, but his prosperity and wealth will also be a hundred times what it is today.

Zhao Gao put on his clothes and looked out, the sky was still not bright.The night is long and long, why is the night so long?His fate, whether it is great joy or great sorrow, all depends on Ying Zheng's funeral arrangements.However, Ying Zheng kept his funeral secret, so Zhao Gao had no choice but to borrow the storyteller's catchphrase to make fun of him: If you want to know what happened next time, you will find out next time.
