Chapter 140 Section 3 Zhao Gao slanders

Following Chen Sheng's momentum and successive victories, envoys poured in from all over the empire to ask for help from Hu Hai.As we said earlier, Hu Hai chose the ostrichism of turning a blind eye to this.With Li Si's support, more memorials were delivered to the palace, and Hu Hai couldn't help panicking, calling Zhao Gao for advice. Zhao Gaodao, "It's just a rat stealing a dog, and it will be destroyed soon. Why should your majesty worry about it?" Hu Hai shook his head and said, "Otherwise, according to the memorial, the thieves are powerful, so we must make a plan early."

Zhao Gaodao, "Before this time, there were envoys from the east. He heard about the rebels. His Majesty was angry and ordered the envoys to serve as a warning to the future. Now, the envoys and the memorials are endless, and they are not afraid of going to prison. There must be someone behind them. .” Hu Hai was startled, and said, "Who instigated it?" Zhao Gao looked at Hu Hai meaningfully, and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?" Hu Hai said, "Could it be the prime minister?" Zhao Gao smiled, neither admitting nor denying, and said, "The thieves are so powerful, in your Majesty's opinion, how should we deal with them?"

Hu Hai said, "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, it is common sense." Zhao Gao nodded and said, "That's right. Now the imperial army is in the south, with 500,000 people guarding Wuling. In the north, 300,000 people are preparing for the Xiongnu. The army in the south is far away and difficult to coordinate. Not enough. The army from the north can reach Xianyang within five days by marching on the straight road. Therefore, if you want to save the disaster, you must recruit the army from the north.” Hu Hai said, "Since this is the case, the widow will issue an edict."

Zhao Gao suddenly burst into tears.Hu Hai asked in surprise, "Why is Mr. Zhao crying?" Zhao Gaodao, "The army in the north is all from Meng Tian's former army. The leader of the army today is Wang Liye, the grandson of the former emperor Wang Jian, and the one who supervises the army is the prime minister. The northern army must obey the orders of the prime minister when it enters Xianyang, not by the prime minister. Your Majesty. If the Prime Minister takes advantage of the opportunity to make changes, Your Majesty will have nowhere to go. Thinking about this, I can’t help crying, deeply worried for Your Majesty."

Hu Hai was horrified, and said, "Is this the prime minister?" Zhao Gaodao, "The wisdom of the prime minister is well known in the world. The minister is not his enemy, and there is no way to resist the court. The prime minister ordered the envoy to exaggerate the thieves' feelings, calling it state affairs, and the meaning is far away. From the minister's point of view, the former emperor ruled the country For decades, the sea has been peaceful, and the head of Guizhou has settled down. It is unreasonable for His Majesty to accept the country, but thieves are rampant, and the world is in chaos! Why not deceive Your Majesty? For the current plan, Your Majesty lives in the middle of the country and remains unchanged. Surprise makes the prime minister unpredictable. Since the prime minister is unpredictable, he must not dare to act rashly, and then he can plan it slowly."

Hu Hai didn't believe that Li Si would rebel, but Zhao Gao said it clearly, but he also became skeptical, so he accepted Zhao Gao's words and became more and more self-closing. Li Si saw that Hu Hai was like a tortoise, allowing the rebels to attack the city, but he shrank his head and couldn't help but feel very disappointed.What Yingzheng sowed was clearly a dragon seed, how could he reap a flea like Hu Hai! Another envoy came to report, saying: "Wu Chen made himself king of Zhao, Wei Jiu became king of Wei, Tian Dan became king of Qi, Liu Bang raised Pei, and Xiang Liang raised troops in Kuaiji County."

Every time he heard a sentence, the worry on Li Si's face became more and more serious. The envoy reported again that Chen Sheng took Wu Guang as a false king, and supervised the generals, who came westward with the intention of attacking the mainland of Qin. Hearing this, Li Si's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was not worried but happy. The envoy retreated, and Li Si went to his desk to revise a letter.At the end of the book, Li Si held the book, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with tears, "Is this the only book for those who know me? Is this the only book for those who sin against me?"
