Chapter 5

The Ganquan Palace of Ziyou Pavilion has never lacked the laughter of women and the praises of Hu Hai. Musicians play music, dancers dance with girls, and there are also lustful laughters echoing in the hall. Some dancers are frivolously touched by Hu Hai, and from time to time they hear horror screams or enjoyment moans.

Every day, every night, every night,

Now the most favored person in the harem is Meiren Deng. She will be with Hu Hai every day. At night, Hu Hai will stay in Meiren Deng's bedroom most of the time. On this day, Hu Hai enjoys Qin Song and Meiren Deng's dancing and enjoying the joy of life.

An eunuch walked in quickly and saw Hu Hai closing his eyes and listening to music. He seemed to be very enjoying it. The eunuch was a little embarrassed. He couldn't help but turn his eyes to Zhao Gao who was accompanying him. Zhao Gao had already discovered this eunuch. The eunuch was arranged by Zhao Gao himself, just to help Li Si inform Hu Hai. At this time, the eunuch did not dare to step forward. Zhao Gao covered his mouth with his hand and coughed dryly.

Hu Hai was awakened by Zhao Gao's dry cough. He opened his eyes and saw the hesitant eunuch not far away, and asked unhappily: "Is there anything you have to do?"

The eunuch gritted his teeth, walked over and reported, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is here, I'm asking for a meeting outside the palace."

"Damn it, haven't you seen that I'm busy? Tell him that I'm not free," Hu Hai scolded the eunuch with a headshot. The eunuch dared not speak back, sang a promise, and was about to leave. At this time, Hu Hai called the eunuch again, as if he felt that his tone had just been too much. Hu Hai slowed down again and said, "Tell him that I'm not feeling well today, let him come back another day."

The eunuo Chang Nuo left. At this time, Zhao Gao sneered beside him and said nothing. Hu Hai hugged Meiren Deng and no longer considered Li Si's affairs. Soon, the music echoed in the hall again.

In the front hall of Ganquan, Li Si was waiting anxiously outside the palace gate. Soon, the eunuch walked slowly and bowed: "Prime Minister Li, Your Majesty //You should go back, you should go back,"

"But..." Li Si was about to say that it was Zhao Gao who asked him to come, but then he thought that it would be better not to mention this matter, so he had to leave in disappointment.

On the third day, Li Si came to Ganquan Palace again and asked to see Hu Hai. Hu Hai was furious and ordered the eunuch to convey to him and scold Li Si. Li Si was very upset and left again.

Three times but failed to meet, Li Si began to give up the idea of ​​seeing Hu Hai. In the past few days, he did not go to the court room, but locked himself in the house and thought quietly about what went wrong. At this time, the second son Li Hong knocked on the door and entered: "Father, Prime Minister Zhao asked for a meeting in the guest hall."

"Zhao Gao," Li Si couldn't help but think coldly. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have asked for a meeting three times and was rejected three times. Thinking of Zhao Gao, Li Si's anger was hard to extinguish. He couldn't help but shout, "No,"

Just as Li Hong was about to leave, Li Si called him again and pondered for a moment, Li Si still sighed: "Tell him, I'll be there soon."

Seeing that his father changed his mind, Li Hong couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. Li Hong didn't know why his father was so afraid of Zhao Gao. But at this time, Li Hong was not convenient to ask in detail, so he had to bow his hands and leave.

When he arrived at the living room, Li Hong told Zhao Gao that his father had arrived late. Zhao Gao seemed to care. He smiled and nodded. At this time, the maid brought tea. After Zhao Gao took the tea cup, he blew the hot air. Li Hong said goodbye and left. At this time, Zhao Gao was the only one left in the living room.

Zhao Gao took a sip of tea, and the fragrance of tea was everywhere. Zhao Gao was in a good mood and his thinking became agile. Looking back on the past few days, Li Si asked for a meeting three times and Hu Hai refused three times, and he could no longer bear Li Si. This time, as long as he persuaded Li Si to meet Hu Hai again, he would inevitably anger Hu Hai. At that time, he would have the chance to attack Li Si.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao couldn't help laughing loudly. At this time, Li Si's voice came from the door: "What makes Lord Zhao so happy?"

Seeing Li Si coming, Zhao Gao hurriedly put down the teacup, and his proud expression just now swept away. Looking at Li Si, he sighed with a little reproach: "Your Majesty finally agreed to meet you today. I came for this matter. I just remembered that Your Majesty praised you, so I couldn't help laughing,"

Zhao Gao's explanation was very far-fetched, but when Li Si heard that Hu Hai was willing to summon him and praised him, he couldn't help but feel excited and asked, "Your Majesty has been unwilling to see me these days, why did he suddenly agree again today?"

Seeing Li Si ask, Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Your Majesty did not go to Meiren Deng today. I happened to take the opportunity to speak kindly for the Prime Minister. After hearing this, Your Majesty praised the Prime Minister for his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and then agreed to see you."

After saying that, Zhao Gao looked at Li Si's face. Seeing that he was overjoyed, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and said again: "Prime Minister, please don't miss this opportunity, otherwise you will regret it."

"Don't worry, Lord Zhao, I'll enter the palace now."

An hour later, Li Si and Zhao Gao came to Ganquan Palace in batches, worried that someone would gossip and cause unnecessary trouble. Zhao Gao entered the palace first. At this time, Li Si was waiting anxiously outside the palace. The eunuch had already entered the house to report. In a while, the decree of calling him would arrive. Li Si was a little excited.

Soon, an eunuch trotted over with a slightly anxious face. Li Si recognized at a glance that he was the eunuch who had just entered the house for him. Why was he so panicked at this time?

The eunuch soon came to Li Si and shouted in a sharp voice: "Prime Minister Li, Your Majesty has an order to prevent you from coming to Ganquan Palace again in the future. If you disobey, you will be punished severely."

Li Si was completely confused. He looked at the eunuch and asked softly: "What the hell is going on?"

"Your Majesty is having a meal with Meiren Deng. When he learned that Prime Minister Li asked for a meeting, he threw away all the dishes and chopsticks. He also angrily beat several palace servants who spoke for the Prime Minister. Everyone in the palace is in danger at this time. Prime Minister Li, you should leave early."

Li Si was a little unbelievable when he learned the truth. He seemed to feel vaguely that he had been teased by Zhao Gao.

Hu Hai did not praise him at all, and Zhao Gao did not say good things for him. Thinking of this layer, Li Si was extremely angry. He looked at the deep corridor of Ganquan Palace, and his gums were about to be broken. If Zhao Gao was in front of him at this moment, he would have wished to kill Zhao Gao with one sword, but no matter how hate it, it would be useless. He could only blame himself for believing in Zhao Gao too much, so that he would be punished for such evil retribution.

The more I thought about it, the more angry she became, Li Si snorted coldly and left quickly.

In Ganquan Hall, Meiren Deng and a few maids left quietly. At this time, Hu Hai was extremely angry. He had beaten more than ten palace ladies, but his anger was still difficult to calm down. On the side, Zhao Gao bent down and stood down without saying a word.

"I don't know what the benefits of these dogs have taken, but they actually work so hard for Li Si. Do they still have the emperor in their hearts," Hu Hai complained, and Zhao Gao sighed, "Your Majesty, people's hearts are unpredictable. Take care of the dragon body and calm down."

After a pause, Zhao Gao took the teacup from an eunuch and placed it on the table in front of Hu Hai, making a look of wanting to speak but stopping. Finally, he sighed lightly,

Hu Hai saw it and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Does Lord Zhao have something to say?"

"I..." Zhao Gao hesitated for a moment and said again: "I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it."

"If you have something to say, why bother tranny in front of me?" Hu Hai was a little unhappy. Zhao Gao bowed his hand and sang in a deep voice: "I got a piece of news that when Zhou Wen entered the pass, Li You had an army of 150,000. He could completely defeat Wu Guang, and then return to Hangu Pass to conserve Guanzhong, but..."

Zhao Gao said this and suddenly stopped. His eyes narrowed and looked at Hu Hai. Hu Hai also heard that Zhao Gao seemed to have some secret to say, but he suddenly stopped. Is this a plea to his appetite? Hu Hai was unhappy and drank: "Speak on,"

"However, Li You allowed the bandits to enter the pass without obstruction, and even fought with Wu Guang in Xingyang without advancing or retreating. This was mainly because Li You reached an undisclosed agreement with King Chen Sheng of Zhang Chu. As long as Chen Sheng unified Guanzhong and overthrew Qin, the Li family would be the noblest royal family of Chu. Therefore, Li You would allow the bandits until later, Zhang Han destroyed Chu and Chen Sheng killed Chen County."

Speaking of this, Zhao Gao glanced at Hu Hai, and saw that he nodded slightly, obviously listening to it, so he continued, "Then, Li You was worried that the secret of his collusion with Zhang Chu's army would be spread, so he defended Xingyang and allowed Zhang Han to fight everywhere until the battle of Dong'a, Zhang Han was defeated. The court's inscription stipulated that all troops and horses were ordered to help Zhang Han. Li You was willing to send troops westward, but it was too late. The Chu army had developed momentum at this time, and Li You reaped the consequences and died in Yongcheng."

"This matter is serious," Hu Hai's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, staring at Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao also nodded and sighed: "This matter is not certain, but I have received information that Li Si has reached an agreement with the Zhao army and is willing to be an insider to welcome the Zhao army into the pass. There is only one condition, let the Zhao army help him take revenge, kill Xiang Yu, and wipe out the Chu army."

"Bang..." After hearing this, Hu Hai slapped the table angrily. He couldn't believe that Li Si was so brave?

But this matter is just a rumor. Whether it is true or false is Hu Hai, he has no way to verify it for the time being. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Gao and said in a deep voice: "You are responsible for this matter. Don't make too much noise. I'm waiting for your return."

Zhao Gao, who said this, bowed and replied: "Don't worry, your Majesty, I will investigate this matter strictly,"

,,,,,,,

It was already afternoon after leaving Ganquan Front Hall. Zhao Gao's carriage slowly advanced on the road. After half an hour, he returned to his government office.

Just as I entered the yard, the housekeeper came up and said, "Sir, you are back."

Zhao Gao nodded and ordered: "Go and find Yan Le for me,"

After about a cup of tea, Yan Le hurried to Zhao Gao's office and headed straight for the guest hall.

At this time, Zhao Gao was standing in front of the window in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking. Until Yan Le's footsteps sounded, Zhao Gao woke up from his thoughts, turned around and looked at Yan Le, and said in a deep voice: "Here you come,"

"Son-in-law pays homage to his father-in-law,"

Yan Le married Zhao Gao's adopted daughter, and Zhao Gao had good trust in him. Although Yan Le has not been promoted in recent years, his rights and status have continued to expand. At this time, as soon as he saluted Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao had already inserted the subject and ordered: "Li Si, Li You colluded with the bandit army and betrayed the court. This matter is related to the foundation of the country. I have reported to Your Majesty, investigate this matter strictly, you know what to do,"

"Collecting the bandits," Yan Leluo thought about it, immediately understood Zhao Gao's intention, and bowed and replied: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will handle this matter well,"
