I and the King of Qin Sweep Liuhe

In the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lazily sat down behind the desk to read after having had enough fun. He spread out the book, found the page he studied last time, and reviewed it.

Zhuang Xi who had just finished washing his face was relieved to see that he had managed to come down obediently, and looked around, wondering, "Young Master, you haven't come yet?"

Zhao Xian leaned on the desk and pouted, "I've got someone to invite it. Uncle Ziying shouldn't make things difficult for Mr.

Before the words are finished, there are palace people outside the door, please see me.

The servant brought a scroll and silk book in his hand: "Your Majesty has an order. Your Highness is temporarily appointing Zhuang Xi for the matter of literacy and law."

Zhuang Xi, who was wiping his face with a towel, was dumbfounded, and immediately plopped down on his knees to receive the order after he realized it.

Zhao Xian wasn't really surprised, but asked curiously, "Where is Mr. Zhao Gao?"

The servant said respectfully: "Mr. Ziying is temporarily staying in Chang'an Palace, and the seal and ribbon have been removed."

"Oh...you go down." Zhao Xian didn't react very much, as if he had expected it long ago.

He rested his chin and looked at Zhuang Xi who was kneeling on the ground trembling with the edict, and sighed: "Oh, I can't bully you for the time being. Although it is for you to teach me temporarily, but the father did this basically to let you I replaced Zhao Gao. Be careful, don't make mistakes before I give you the seal."

"This..." Zhuang Xi was at a loss, "Your Highness, what's going on...?"

Zhao Xian rolled his eyes strangely: "I guess it might be that Uncle Ziying doesn't like Zhao Gao and wants to deal with him?" The father and king like uncle so much, so he must let him.

"...but Mr. Ziying doesn't seem to have any problems with Zhao Gao?"

Zhao Xian sighed: "Are you the husband or I am the husband... You should be the one to answer these questions!"

Zhuang Xi said: "This...Your Highness, why don't you go and have a look?"

Zhao Xian rolled his eyes: "Father sent someone here at this time, just to imply that I don't want to intercede. Not only is it useless for me to go, but it will make my father displeased. Let's go back and have a look secretly!"

"Okay, that's okay. The minister is going to prepare."

Zhao Xian nodded: "Go!"

Zhuang Xi walked to the side room with his handkerchief in his pocket, thinking of going behind the screen to change clothes, but bumped into a little palace maid.The palace servant seemed to have been standing here all the time, Zhuang Xi took a look and found that it was the very respected palace servant next to Zhao Gao, he couldn't help but said: "Wu Zhi? Why are you..."

Wu Zhi was holding a few volumes of books in his hands, and he was standing here just now, he heard the words outside clearly, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Zhao Gao ordered his servants to bring the books over..."

Zhuang Xi didn't think too much, thinking that Zhao Gao had already reached out to get those books: "Is it the book of His Highness Professor? Give it to me first."

Wu Zhi hurriedly gave him the things: "My servant will leave."

Zhuang Xi took the books and looked back at Wu Zhi who was leaving in a hurry, feeling that Wu Zhi seemed a little panicked today.

Wu Zhi walked around from the side room to the back hall and left through the side door. He went straight to the Ganquan Palace after leaving the East Palace, tightly clutching the envelope that Zhao Gao left for him.

But halfway there, when there was no one around, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.Thinking of what he heard just now, something might have happened to Zhao Gao, so he opened the letter by accident.

The letter was not sealed, and even if it was opened, it would not be obvious.Wu Zhi took out the envelope, and found that the handwriting was quite different from Zhao Gao's usual handwriting, deliberately covering up his usual writing habits, and looked like it was written by another person.

He looked at ten lines at a glance, and finally took a deep breath.

This……

It was written that Zhao Ying used his seductive servants to seduce the superiors and assassinate virtuous ministers, and asked Xiang Lu to persuade the Queen Mother Zhao to use this matter to instigate the clan and courtiers to dispose of Zhao Ying.Then the Empress Dowager Zhao came forward as a mother, and selected some virtuous and virtuous women from the courtiers to be included in the palace, so as to give birth to her own sons for the king as soon as possible.

As for the clan, they helped one or two of them enter the court on the grounds that the Qing emperor had meritorious service.

Wu Zhi's hand holding the letter trembled for a while.His first reaction was that he couldn't give the letter to Xiang Lu.

He has been around Zhao Gao all these years, and he can see clearly the interests of the palace.The Empress Dowager Zhao used to dominate the government together with Lai Ai, and she could even compete with Lu Buwei. She also had the status of a queen mother. When she was in power, even the king could do nothing to her. Now this old woman has lost power for a long time, and she is under house arrest in Ganquan Palace. I am afraid that she has always been unwilling , Zhao Gao's letter undoubtedly gave her a chance to make a comeback.

Before the king had no power to monopolize, Qin's clan and courtiers and relatives had been fighting against each other.After the incidents of the Empress Dowager Zhao and Lai Ai, the death of the Empress Dowager Huayang, and the rebellion of Lord Changping, the relatives were basically dead.

As for the clan, the king used his courtiers heavily and did not trust the clan, except for a few seniors with senior qualifications, the clan would no longer be successful.

If this is successful, the courtiers will be related to the king, so naturally there is nothing to say, and the Queen Mother Zhao can also take advantage of this to find a place for the clan, and both sides will be happy. The two sides accumulated some majesty.After all, she is the king's biological mother, so she has a natural advantage in her status. If there is anything that cannot persuade the king in the future, both parties will unanimously ask her to come forward.

Isn't that what happened to Ying Man back then?As long as the first woman enters the palace, there will always be a second and a third. Now that something like Zhao Ying's scandal happened, the king does not have the upper hand. The courtiers and the clan may kill this for their own benefit.

Wu Zhi immediately put away the envelope.

These palace people cannot expect to rise to the top like Zhao Gao in this life, it is a rare special case, most of them serve others to death, let alone close to the king's side, even a glance from a distance I don't know how much luckier than people outside.

But if it can be done, the queen mother is a shortcut to the top.

A ray of light lit up in Wu Zhi's eyes.He even felt that the reason why Zhao Gao didn't keep the envelope was probably because he was waiting for him to open it.

He knows Xiang Lu's ability, it is difficult to be cautious and timid, how can he bear such a heavy responsibility.But he is not in Ganquan Palace, some things can only be done by Xianglu.

Similarly, sins can also be borne by Xiang Lu.

Wu Zhi hurriedly hid the envelope close to his heart, and strode towards Ganquan Palace.

Outside Ganquan Palace, Xiang Lu met Wu Zhi.

Xiang Lu used to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace, and he was an old acquaintance with Wu Zhi. He knew that Wu Zhi was highly valued by Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao was his savior, so even though he was quite favored by the Queen Mother in Ganquan Palace recently, he was not in Wu Zhi. In front of quality, boss around.

Xiang Lu saluted Wu Zhi respectfully, but before he finished, Wu Zhi suddenly pulled him to his side, walked to a secluded corner, and said anxiously: "Shao Fu Zhao went to Chang'an Palace, and was removed from the seal by the king. Stay here to serve Ziying.”

Xiang Lu was very surprised: "How could this happen?"

Wu Zhi worried: "I don't know, I just heard that Mr. Ziying doesn't seem to get along well with Shao Fu, but he is a son of the clan, where does he get such a big face?"

Xiang Lu's heart skipped a beat, inexplicably recalling the scene he saw in front of the Imperial Medical Office that day, he said nervously, "Zhao Ying must have tricked the king into doing this..."

"Oh?" Wu Zhi looked surprised, "Why do you say that? He is a young master with no position and no authority, and he is sick. How can he talk to the king?"

Xiang Lu was only thinking about saving Zhao Gao, and thinking that Wu Zhi was also promoted by Zhao Gao, he couldn't help trusting him a bit, and lowered his voice: "Zhao Ying, he, and Da, Da Wang...have...a relationship... Feelings."

The last four words simply used up all of Xiang Lu's courage.

Wu Zhi immediately turned cold: "What nonsense! How could the king do such a thing!"

Xiang Lu hurriedly explained: "I saw it with my own eyes! Have you forgotten that the people from the East Palace Palace were executed before? It was because of this incident! I was saved by Shao Fu, and now Shao Fu is being rescued by Zhao Ying. How dare I talk nonsense! That Zhao Ying, who has been ill for a long time and is handsome, may have won the favor because of what the king likes, and now he wants to harm Shao Fu, I will never stand idly by! I will invite the queen mother..."

"Wait a minute." Wu Zhi pressed his shoulders, as if he knew what he was going to do, and said calmly: "Now the queen mother has nothing to say in front of the king, you go for nothing. Listen to me, you have to do more You can get rid of Xing only when people get involved, so you..."

Wu Zhifu whispered something into Xiang Lu's ear. After a while, Xiang Lu saluted him and thanked him: "Young Master will rely on Your Excellency to save you! The servants must try their best to convince the Queen Mother!"

Wu Zhi nodded: "It's all to repay the kindness of Shao Fu Zhiyu. You go, you will be suspicious if you come out for too long. If you have any news, please contact me."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Wu Zhi watched Xiang Lu enter the Ganquan Palace, with his fingers covering his heart through his clothes, he slowly revealed an almost crazy smile.

Zhao Gao had a rift with Zhao Ying, and he helped get rid of Zhao Ying, which was considered a repayment for his kindness, right?

In March, news came from the Kingdom of Yan that Wang Ben and Li Xin had conquered Ji, the capital of Yan.

The demise of the Yan Kingdom had been expected by everyone, so it was only a small burst of joy.The courtiers have recently not only quarreled over the unified institutional arrangements, but also have an unspeakable gossip lingering in their hearts.

After the imperial court, the courtiers still hugged together and chatted as they walked out of the palace, but everyone's expression was a little subtle.

Li Si, Yao Jia and Zhang Liang were going to drink together, but they were stopped by Prime Minister Wang Wan before they left the palace.

His expression was very serious.

Yao Jia snorted, "Prime Minister, are you going to drink with us?"

Wang Wan frowned and said, "What kind of wine are you drinking? You don't know what the rumors are talking about recently?"

"Oh... that..." Yao Jia scratched his head.

Li Si and Zhang Liang were touching their noses and coughing again, and Wang Wan was puzzled when they saw it: "Speaking of business, are the King and Zhao Ying really..."

"Ahem——!" Yao Jia hastily stopped him, "It's fine for others to believe these rumors, how come you, the prime minister...?"

Wang Wan said stubbornly: "Your Majesty has indeed been walking around with Zhao Ying a lot recently. It's fine for others to listen. You are all important ministers, so you don't take it seriously?"

Zhang Liang laughed and said: "Prime Minister, we don't have any evidence, right? Even if we have, can we still confront the king? Besides, I don't think it's that serious. Long Yang's goodness, although rare, is still human. It's normal, and nothing will be delayed, Doctor Yushi, what do you think?"

Li Si, who had been silent all this time, was dragged into the water by him, and nodded silently to express his attitude.

Wang Wan looked at Zhang Liang. Although this Chang Shi was his official, his behavior was always confusing, and he was not respectful to him like others. He remembered that every time he came out, he often gave him difficult problems. He raised the bar.The more Wang Wan looked at Zhang Liang, the more furious he became: "You can call black even white! A while ago, Zhao Gao was taken off his seal and left in Chang'an Palace for no reason, and it was Zhao Ying who instigated it. He also came out to provoke trouble, and we will bear it!"

Zhang Liang squeezed his chin like a toothache, "The Prime Minister thinks Zhao Ying is someone, I think he is very good, and the king didn't say anything about Zhao Gao, let's not speculate. In case Zhao Ying Where did Gao offend the king, you can't wrong a good person, right?"

Wang Wan glared at him, and when he was about to speak again, a servant came over there.

The servants saluted one after another, and then said: "Your Majesty summons the Censor, Dian Ke Ling, Shao Fu."

Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows: "Let's go here, let's go... Then what, Prime Minister, I'm sorry!"

With a dark face, Wang Wan flicked her clothes and turned to leave.

Zhang Liang signaled the servant to go first, then turned his head to stare at Li Si and Yao Jia: "How did the news about the king and Zhao Ying get out? You two really didn't say anything?"

Yao Jia: "Who dares to say it? Don't kill me! How dare Li Si speak out? What good is there in talking about it? You're just questioning us here, isn't it in vain?"

Zhang Liang: "He's attacking Chu now, so I flew over to ask him! Last time he came back, he personally asked the king to add troops. He returned to Xianyang and left after finishing his work. How could he have time to spread such words? And..."

Zhang Liang paused.

Yao Jia: "And what?"

Zhang Liang smashed the pot and said, "And he told me not to touch Zhao Ying!"

Yao Jia and Li Si: "..."

"Listen to what it means! Isn't it just to protect Zhao Ying? The rumor is obviously aimed at Zhao Ying, so it can't be him."

Yao Jia: "Compared to this, I'm more curious, why did he protect Zhao Ying? Shouldn't they fight to the death for the king?"

Zhang Liang: "How do I know what I'm thinking! Go ask him!"

Yao Jia gradually deviates from the topic: "He must not be interested in Zhao Ying..."

After an eerie silence.

Li Si, who had been silent all this time, followed behind them, thinking about this matter seriously all the way, after listening to them, he habitually concluded: "It means that Lord Chang'an not only dumped the king, but also fell in love with the king's man? "

"..."

No one responded, Li Si returned to his senses suspiciously, wondering why the two people in front suddenly stopped talking, and suddenly found that they both knelt in front of him at some point, facing forward.

Li Si's heart skipped a beat.

He raised his head and met Zhao Zheng who was standing beside the flowers.
