Chapter 123 Section 1 Zhao Gao's mastermind

Speaking of Ying Zheng's death, Zhao Gao stood there in a daze for a long time, until his out-of-body soul returned to his place, then slowly turned around, and whispered to the eunuch who was standing by below, "The emperor has collapsed." Just four words, like five thunders.The eunuch bowed to the ground and wailed loudly.Although their limbs are mutilated, their tears are not different from ordinary people in chemical composition, and they also come from emotional venting.They don't care about Ying Zheng's merits, demerits, good or evil, they only know that Ying Zheng is their master, and when the master dies, the sky will collapse.

Zhao Gao sternly reprimanded, "This is not the time to cry. The collapse is outside, and no outsiders will know about it, so as to prevent any changes. Anyone who dares to leak information will be punished by the three clans." The eunuch was in a state of confusion, so he gradually stopped talking after being threatened by this. After Zhao Gao stabilized the eunuch, he began to think nervously.There is only one core issue in his thinking - how to save his own life.Currently, only he and the eunuchs in the palace knew that Ying Zheng was dead, and Li Si was kept in the dark.Once Li Si learned that Ying Zheng was dead and took control of the situation, Zhao Gao's chances were slim.He had to make full use of this time difference and race against time to come up with countermeasures and implement them immediately before Li Si found out.

Zhao Gao's first choice was naturally to revise the imperial edict and make Hu Hai the crown prince. Anyway, the jade seal is in his hands, so it is not difficult to do this.Besides, Ying Zheng is dead, so he won't be resurrected to expose him.However, how to deal with the few eunuchs in the palace at the moment has become a thorny problem.They also knew the content of Yingzheng's last edict.Do you want to kill someone?As everyone knows, it is easy to kill these people, but it is difficult to deal with the aftermath.The eunuch was killed for no reason, and Li Si pursued it later, how would he explain it clearly?

The eunuch may not be killed temporarily, but the imperial edict must be revised, and Hu Hai must also replace Fusu as the prince.For the current plan, he can only reach a consensus with Hu Hai first, and then drag Li Si into the water together. Zhao Gaogao went to see Hu Hai in secret. It was late at night, and Hu Hai was still sleepy, and said, "Why is it so urgent?" Zhao Gaodao, "Chen Te came to report to the young master that the emperor has passed away." Hu Hai burst into tears when he heard the words.Zhao Gao stopped in a hurry, and showed Yingzheng's edict, saying, "Shangbeng, there is no edict to enshrine the king and all the sons, but only the eldest son is given the book of Fusu. When the eldest son arrives, he will be the emperor immediately, and the son has no size. What can I do?" ?”

Hu Hai said: "Yeah. I've heard that the king knows his ministers, and the father knows his son. Father donates his life, and he doesn't seal his sons. How can you say that!" Zhao Gaodao: "No way. Fang's power today lies in the son, Gao and the prime minister's ears. I hope the son will figure it out. And husbands and ministers and ministers are to others, and controlling people and seeing people are controlled by others. How can they be said in the same day!" Hu Hai said: "Your son is afraid of being unfilial, but don't be afraid of not being able to stand up. If you cultivate yourself and don't blame others, you will be free from difficulties. Fortunately, you don't say any more."

Zhao Gao felt dark in his heart, Xiao Mian, still pretending to me, I still don't understand you?So he simply made the words clear and said, "The emperor has collapsed, and the son should seek his own help. If the minister is not talented, Fusu can be abolished, and the son can be established as the second emperor. The king will rule the world, and he can take whatever he wants. Don't miss the opportunity. If the loss never comes again, how can the son return?" Doubtful?" Hu Hai continued to decline and said, "It is unrighteous to abandon a brother and make a younger brother; it is not filial to fear death without obeying the father's edict; The body is in danger, and the country is devoid of blood."

Zhao Gaodao: "I heard that Tang and Wu killed their lords, and the world is justified. It is not unfaithful. The king of Wei killed his father, and the state of Wei carried his virtues. Confucius wrote it. It is not unfilial. Husbands are not small, Shengde does not give in, each country song has its own merits, and hundreds of officials have different merits. Therefore, if you care about the small and forget the big, it will be harmful in the future; if you are suspicious and hesitant, you will regret it. If you are decisive and dare to do it, ghosts and gods will avoid it, and then you will succeed. May your son do it !"

Hu Hai was silent for a long time, and sighed, "This matter is not trivial, how can it be done?" Zhao Gaodao: "If you don't conspire with the prime minister, you can't do things with sincerity. I ask you to conspire with the prime minister for your son." Regarding Li Si, Hu Hai had deep scruples, and said, "The grand tour has not yet been announced, and the funeral ceremony is not yet over, so how can I do this to the Prime Minister! If the Prime Minister refuses, I'm afraid..." Hu Hai didn't say anything further, but Zhao Gao already understood what he meant.Now that they are far away from Xianyang, the military and other powers are in Li Si's hands. Once Ying Zheng dies, everyone will naturally follow Li Si's lead.Zhao Gao and Hu Hai's attempt to revise Yingzheng's edict is tantamount to usurping the country and treason. Once Li Si objects, he can completely eliminate harm for the country and kill the rebels according to his own will.Needless to say, Zhao Gao, even if Hu Hai is a prince, he can only die.

Faced with Hu Hai's hesitation, Zhao Gao said anxiously, "It's better to have the emperor of the world, or the son of the rulerless earth? The time is right, there is no time to plan! Winning food and leaping horses, I am afraid of the future! Don't worry!" Worry too. General Gao will talk about the prime minister, and he will ensure that great things can be achieved." Zhao Gao left, looked up at the night sky, and said to himself, "If I don't wait for Li Si to see Li Si, Li Si will come to see me first." After speaking, he clenched his fists and took a deep breath.OK, Li Si, I'm waiting for you!
