Shuang Daqin comparison, no comparison, no harm

Zhao Ze has performed outstandingly in the past two years, and has already possessed the ability that a king should have.

Ying Zheng also liked him very much, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Zhao Ze was most likely to be the successor of Qin.

This matter is nine out of ten, so all the officials can't wait to curry favor with Zhao Ze.

Some even did not hesitate to give their daughters to Zhao Ze as concubines.

Even if they are concubines, if they turn around in the palace in the future, their future lives will be safe and worry-free.

Knowing their thoughts, Zhao Ze was very repulsed by everyone's idea of ​​sending people into his palace, and refused directly without giving a chance.

Anyway, he has no shortage of beauties, if he really needs them, he can just find a few clean ones to get rid of.

Returning to his bedroom from the Salt Water Palace, before Zhao Ze had time to rest, Lin Zhizhou came over.

Lin Zhizhou returned to Xianyang a few days ago, and he knows more about the situation in Xianyang than 25 Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze heard him talk about the situation in Xianyang, and then sent him to go back first, and wait until tomorrow to talk about it.

It's been a busy day, and I'm really tired.

Lin Zhizhou suddenly said: "Prince, you must pay attention to what I told you just now, tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday.

"Li Si will definitely use this matter as an argument."

Recently, a strange thing happened in Xianyang City. There were frequent cases of stillborn babies.

For this reason, Ying Zheng invited those old masters who made alchemy for him.

Yingzheng has been thinking about immortality for these years, so he specially kept those quack priests to practice immortality pills for him.

So he has great trust in those quack priests.

And what those old Taoists said about this matter, it is true that this matter may have something to do with the prince in the palace.

The son killed his mother as soon as he was born.

And when this son descended from the sky, he was not after the emperor ascended the throne, so he was not protected by the dragon's energy, and he was full of evil spirits.

Recently, the unlucky color of giving birth to a child and then dying a mother has occurred in Xianyang City. It is the unluckyness of this child that dyes the dragon's energy.

These things happen frequently at the feet of the emperor.

Anyone with a clear eye can hear these words, and he is talking about Zhao Ze.

When Zhao Ze was born, his mother died.

This matter has been avoided in the palace, but it does not mean that no one knows.

But now that the old Taoist said it, I am afraid that many people are talking about this matter.

Tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday again, I am afraid that Li Si, an old-fashioned old man, will definitely mention this matter above the birthday minister.

Zhao Ze will definitely be mentioned, and if he doesn't prepare in advance, he may be implicated.

Although Ying Zheng loves him very much now, Ying Zheng is also an extremely superstitious person.

So he may not fully trust Zhao Ze.

After all, he can now trust those veterans and firmly believe that they can make the elixir of immortality.

Zhao Ze didn't take this matter seriously just now, but now that Lin Zhizhou mentioned it, he also realized the seriousness of the matter.

He asked Lin Zhizhou: "Then how many births and deaths have happened in Xianyang City?"

This incident has caused a lot of trouble, and it must have happened a lot.

Just listen to Lin Zhizhou: "In the six months since you left, there have been more than 3,000 cases."

Hearing this number, Zhao Ze was also stunned.

The entire city of Xianyang added up to only fifty or sixty people.

There are nearly 10,000 newborns every year.

Among them, nearly 30% of the incidents occurred in the birth of a child and the death of a mother, no wonder there was an uproar in the city of Xianyang.

This is indeed strange, and very strange.

At this time, Zhao Ze couldn't even think of the way those officials looked at him when he first arrived at the banquet.

Immediately, he understood why he felt a little uncomfortable at that time.

It turned out that their scrutinizing gazes regarded themselves as disaster stars.

Zhao Ze asked Lin Zhizhou again: "Then who do you think did this?"

Zhao Ze didn't believe in those ghosts and gods. He firmly believed that so many births and deaths of mothers would happen in Xianyang City.

Someone must have tampered with it, and it was targeting him.

Lin Zhizhou pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, then whispered: "I think this matter has something to do with Hu Ji."

Isn't Hu 880 Ji the mother of Hu Hai, who has been favored by the government all these years, and she is also extremely doted on, giving her whatever she wants.

"Why do you think so?" Zhao Ze asked casually.

"Hu Ji understands the emperor's mind best after following the emperor's side all these years."

"If the prince makes a big mistake, Ying Zheng may take into account your strength and spare you, but she knows the ghosts and gods that the emperor is the greatest.

"As long as the emperor believes it, he will definitely attack you, and Hu Ji and the old Taoist are getting closer recently, so I guess it was her who did it."

Lin Zhizhou's analysis is not unreasonable. Zhao Ze actually suspected Hu Hai's mother and son at the beginning.

After all, they are the ones who have the most conflicts with themselves recently.

Especially recently, he caused Hu Hai to go to Longxi County for an expedition. Hu Ji must be very angry and hate herself.

What he loves the most is Hu Hai, the eldest son, and the conditions in Longxi County are so difficult, she must be reluctant to let Hu Hai go to suffer, "I'm afraid this time he is also taking revenge on himself.
