Zhao Gao left Xianyang Palace in a carriage, and came to Dongle Street under the protection of the soldiers. The carriage passed through the street, and the people tried to get out of the way. Those who could not dodge were knocked down by the carriage, and some were even run over by the carriage, which made everyone dissatisfied.

They cursed angrily, and the government soldiers whipped their whips and angrily rebuked the people. Soon, Zhao Gao's carriage stopped in front of Hu Hai's mansion, and Zhao Gao lifted the curtain and walked out into the mansion.

In the backyard of the back house, there are sounds of singing and dancing, and several beautiful dancers are graceful and dancing gracefully. Hu Hai is hugging him from the left//right//, and two beautiful women are nestled in Hu Hai's arms, holding wine glasses, and they are charming

At this time, the housekeeper rushed in and said hurriedly: "Sir, Mr. Zhao is here."

Hu Hai looked slightly displeased and scolded: "Why are you panicking? Do I still want to greet him?"

As soon as Hu Hai finished speaking, Zhao Gao walked in quickly, the music stopped suddenly, and the dancers also retreated. At this time, Zhao Gao's sharp eyes fell on the woman in Hu Hai's arms. The woman couldn't help being frightened, and avoided Zhao Gao.

Looking at him, Hu Hai smiled awkwardly and scolded everyone to leave.

The room gradually became quiet, and only Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were left. At this time, two maids brought tea and placed it in front of them respectively. Hu Hai took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Why are you here today, Mr. Zhao?"

?”

Zhao Gao had gradually calmed down at this time. He hid his displeasure in his heart and tried not to show it. However, Hu Hai's performance still made Zhao Gao extremely dissatisfied. He and Fusu were both the sons of the First Emperor, but Fusu

Corporal Su Lixian was very popular, but Hu Hai only knew how to play with women and drink for fun every day. He had no sense of responsibility and ambitious goals that a young man should have. Thinking of this, Zhao Gao felt a little regretful. He had known that Hu Hai was so incompetent, so he had supported him in the first place.

Sue, maybe today will be a different situation.

But for Hu Hai, he had offended Fusu, and even became incompatible with each other. If Hu Hai failed to ascend the throne and Fusu ascended the throne, he would undoubtedly die. There was no way out, which made Zhao Gao see the future more clearly. Thinking of this

, Zhao Gao sighed lightly. He knew that it was useless to think about all this at this time, so he went straight to the topic and sneered: "Lu Sheng absconded, and the government and the public were shocked. Has this young master heard about it?"

In the past few days, Hu Hai had been favoring the two beauties who had just moved into the house. He had no idea what would happen outside. When Zhao Gao asked, Hu Hai didn't know how to answer, but he didn't want Zhao Gao to know that he had nothing.

Knowing that, he had to think for a while and said with a smile: "I heard it, but I don't know what this has to do with me?"

Zhao Gao saw Hu Hai's perfunctory behavior and was filled with hatred in his heart, but he could not accuse Hu Hai. He could only smile and said: "Your Majesty has issued an order to investigate this matter in Guanzhong. We might as well take advantage of this."

If you take this opportunity to suppress the Fusu party members, it will be beneficial to the young master in seizing the throne."

When Hu Hai heard the word seizing the crown prince, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. The glory and wealth in front of him were just the moon in the water and flowers in the mirror, but seizing the crown prince and ascending the throne was different. As long as he became the emperor, he would enjoy endless beauties and drink endless wine.

Gan, this kind of life is what I want. Thinking of this, Hu Hai was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Please come up with more plans, Master Zhao. I will definitely obey your advice."

"But the young master just stays in the palace every day, doesn't care about national affairs, and doesn't show his ability in front of His Majesty. I'm afraid he will be outclassed by Fusu sooner or later." Zhao Gao sighed.

When Hu Hai heard Zhao Gao's reproach, he lowered his face and said displeasedly: "It's Mr. Zhao's wishes, what should I do?"

Loyalty was harsh to the ears. Seeing Hu Hai's change of expression, Zhao Gao also raised his voice and said: "If you want to seize the throne, you must listen to me, restrain yourself, and talk more about political affairs in front of your majesty. Let your majesty see the strength of the young master, which also proves that the young master is not

I am not a person who only knows how to live and drink. In this way, I am plotting for the young master, eradicating Fusu's gang members and clearing obstacles. Will the young master still worry about not being able to ascend the throne?"

Having said this, Zhao Gao paused for a moment, looked at Hu Hai, and saw that he was still listening, so he continued: "If the young master continues to sink, once Fusu ascends the throne, the young master may lose everything in front of him, and Fusu

I will never be like now, raising my son for the rest of my life."

Hu Hai was stunned by the last words. Fusu would not allow him to live and drink, which was inevitable. He couldn't help but beat his heart, and his tone became a little softer. He sighed: "But after all, I am not the eldest son. I have been standing since ancient times.

Young, I'm afraid..."

"Young master, don't worry, I will pave the way for you." Zhao Gao said with great assurance.

Soon, Zhao Gao took a sip of tea, stood up, and said: "I still have something to do in my house, so I'll go back first. Master, please don't forget what I told you. Also, Fusu will be back in the next few days. Master is here."

During this time, you must pay more attention to your words and deeds, and don’t let them get any leverage.”

Hu Hai nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "I remember, Mr. Zhao, walk slowly."

...

It was already afternoon when Zhao Gao returned to the government office. As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Cheng came up to him and said softly: "General Zhang has been waiting in the government office for a long time."

Zhao Gao nodded slightly. Zhang Han came just in time to avoid sending someone to invite him, so he walked quickly to the living room.

Zhang Han was drinking tea in the living room at this time. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Han stood up in a hurry. At this time, Zhao Gao walked in quickly. Zhang Han went up to greet him and bowed to salute: "I have met Mr. Zhao at last."

Zhao Gao nodded in return, and the two of them took their seats respectively. Zhang Han cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Last time, thank you Master Zhao for your guidance. I am very happy to be awarded by His Majesty the Emperor this time. I specially prepared a small gift to come to Master Zhao's house."

Thank you."

Zhao Gao glanced sideways at the gift on the table. It was an iron box. If he guessed correctly, it should be gold. This gift was heavy enough. Thinking of this, Zhao Gao couldn't help laughing, "General Zhang, I

I would also like to congratulate you today. His Majesty has promised to promote you to the position of Shaofu. In the next few days, the imperial edict will be issued."

Zhang Han's eyes lit up, he stood up quickly, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Zhao Gao: "Thank you for your promotion, Mr. Zhao, for your humble position."

Seeing Zhang Han's attentiveness, Zhao Gao was in a good mood. He stood up and helped Zhang Han up. The two sat down again. At this time, Zhao Gao smiled and said: "General Zhang investigated Lu Sheng's case in detail, but this is not enough. What does your majesty mean?"

, we must strictly investigate anyone related to Lu Sheng, and arrest all of them, especially Confucian scholars."

Zhang Han couldn't help being surprised when he heard Zhao Gao mention the arrest of Confucian scholars, and sighed: "Master Zhao, there are hundreds of Confucian students in Xianyang. If we arrest the Confucian scholars, it will cause panic. Moreover, with such a huge number, will we?"

…”

Zhang Han did not continue speaking. He felt that some words could only be touched upon. If he said too much, he would get angry. However, Zhao Gao had already looked coldly at Zhang Han for a long time before ordering: "Master Zhang."

, there is no doubt about this matter, we must do it with all our strength, if there is any negligence, be careful with your head."

Seeing that Zhao Gao was angry, Zhang Han had to stand up and sighed: "My subordinates understand and will definitely handle this matter."

Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's not enough to just search the Confucian scholars. I have a list of these people who have had contact with Lu Sheng. Moreover, Lu Sheng has absconded. They have no shirking responsibility and cannot shirk it. You can arrest them according to the order."

.”

Zhang Han understood in his heart that this was Zhao Gao taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and he could not refuse, otherwise, the title of Shaofu he had just obtained would be gone in a blink of an eye, so he took the list with both hands and said loudly: "My subordinates will do their best to arrest you. Please

Don’t worry, Mr. Zhao, it will definitely be perfect.”

"Okay, I'm looking forward to good news from you, go ahead." Zhao Gao waved his hand and Zhang Han turned around and left. At this time, Zhao Gao saw that Zhang Han had gone away and opened the box that Zhang Han sent. Inside, there were three hundred

Zhao Gao couldn't help but be stunned. Where did Zhang Han get so much gold?

...

It was slightly dark, and Zhang Han returned to his mansion. His home was located on Mindong Street. At this time, his son Zhang Ping had been waiting for a long time. When he saw his father coming back, he immediately came up to him and accompanied Zhang Han back to the study to help him.

He lowered his leather armor and couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what did Mr. Zhao say?"

Zhang Han looked at his son and sighed: "Your Majesty has agreed to promote my father to the position of Shaofu."

Zhang Ping was overjoyed, held up his hands and said with a smile: "Then my son must congratulate his father."

At this moment, Zhang Han took a long breath and sighed: "But this official position has to be exchanged for the lives of countless people. I feel uneasy."

"What's going on?" Zhang Ping couldn't help asking. Zhang Han patted his son on the shoulder and the two sat down. At this time, Zhang Han smiled mockingly and said, "Zhao Gao asked me to support the DPRK at all costs."

All the people in Fusu were arrested, and the Confucian scholars were also arrested. It took ten days to arrest Lu Sheng. It was a lot of pressure..."

"What does this matter have to do with Confucian scholars?" Zhang Ping wondered. If arresting some officials was Zhao Gao's way of eliminating dissidents, what did the Confucian scholars have to do with him? Why did he arrest the Confucian scholars?

Seeing that his son was puzzled, Zhang Han couldn't help laughing. He didn't understand it at first, but on the way back, he thought hard and finally realized what it was like. If it was just Zhao Gao who was disgusted with Confucian scholars, he didn't dare to allow himself to arrest him so blatantly.

If the arrest of Confucian scholars is carried out on a large scale, it may be that the First Emperor actually ordered it. Then, if he can handle this matter well, it may leave a good impression on the First Emperor.

Zhang Han stood up and walked to the window and opened it. At this time, it was completely dark outside. The moon and stars were twinkling in the sky. The bright moonlight fell on every corner of the yard. Since he had boarded Zhao Gao's pirate ship

, I’m afraid it’s already difficult to leave now.

But if he listens to Zhao Gao's arrangements and eradicates Fusu's party members, then he will be Fusu's enemy. Unless he wholeheartedly supports Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, otherwise, if Fusu ascends the throne, he will undoubtedly die. No...! It's not that he will die.

Undoubtedly, the whole family was slaughtered. Thinking of this, Zhang Han's back was wet with sweat.

Thinking that he had no way to turn back, Zhang Han began to regret. He knew that in order to get promoted, he actually colluded with Zhao Gao. If the Zhang family was really slaughtered because of this incident, how would he meet his ancestors after his death?

My ancestors, how can I enter the ancestral graves of the Zhang family again?
