Chapter 26 Brotherhood (Part 1)

When Xiang Yu saw Xiang Zhuang blocking his way, he was furious, picked up the bow and arrow from the saddle, aimed at Xiang Zhuang, and shouted: "This is an opportunity, don't stop me!"

Seeing that Xiang Yu was angry, Xiang Zhuang had to put down his sword and raise his hands to show his sincerity. Xiang Yu's mood gradually stabilized. At this time, Xiang Zhuang rode away on his horse. He cupped his hands in front of Xiang Yu and said, "Brother, don't blame me for being troublesome.

This is not the best time to assassinate the emperor, brother, please listen to me and be patient!"

Xiang Yu never knew in his heart that if he acted blindly, Xiang Liang's plan would lose everything. However, Qin Shihuang visited Kuaiji three times, and Hu Hai also came to Kuaiji this year. Xiang Yu was really unwilling to give up like this every time he got the chance.

, especially since he now has control of two thousand private troops in Kuaiji County and has legitimate reasons to enter and leave Kuaiji Mountain, this opportunity is particularly important.

But Xiang Zhuang's advice still calmed down Xiang Yu's heart a little. At this time, from a distance, a patrol of Qin troops came galloping over. Xiang Zhuang was afraid that Xiang Yu would be exposed and cause trouble, so he exchanged glances with Xiang Yu.

, Xiang Yu had no choice but to order the entire army to return to the city.

The Qin army passed by Xiang Yu's army. There were thirty of them and they were a small patrol. At this time, they had gone away into the distance. Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang were on horseback, slowly advancing towards Kuaiji. At this time, Xiang Yu

Asked: "We give up the opportunity to assassinate the emperor again and again. I don't know when the revenge of my grandfather and father will be avenged!"

There was a trace of complaint in Xiang Yu's tone, and Xiang Zhuang could only sigh: "How could I never want to take revenge?"

Xiang Zhuang looked up at Xiang Yu and saw that he was also staring at him, so he had to continue: "However, the time is not yet ripe, we cannot be reckless!"

"The time is not ripe! This is what I say every time. Do we have to wait for Hu Hai to die suddenly like the First Emperor before it is considered God's will? Is the time ripe?" Xiang Yu roared in displeasure, but Xiang Zhuang was not in a hurry.

He was not busy and said slowly: "Brother, think about it, no matter how stupid the First Emperor is, he will not let Fusu die, but return to kill Fusu and support Hu Hai to ascend the throne. There is some kind of conspiracy in this."

Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang laughed ferociously and said: "It can be seen that when Hu Hai ascended the throne, he must have conspired and acted later. Moreover, since he dared to force Fusu to death, could it be that the nobles in Xianyang and Fusu's old confidants, princes and nobles were all

Are you stupid? If Hu Hai’s envoy is touring eastward, there will definitely be a big storm in Xianyang. Brother, just wait and see the good show."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but raise his head and laugh. Although Xiang Yu seemed to believe it but not believe it, he still heard a clue and could only nod slightly. At this time, the secret whistle sent by Xiang Yu rushed over and reported beside Xiang Yu: "

Military Marquis, we have found out that for some unknown reason, His Majesty the Emperor's carriage hurried down the mountain and prepared to return to Xianyang."

"Is this true?" Xiang Yu asked urgently, nodded secretly, and continued: "I heard that they are about to leave soon, and they are not allowed to delay for a moment."

Hearing the news, Xiang Yu couldn't help but look at Xiang Zhuang. Maybe Xiang Zhuang was right about this. Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but raised his head and laughed. But at this moment, thousands of cavalry were galloping not far away.

On the official road, their purpose was clear and they went straight to Wucheng. It seemed that Hu Hai was really ready to return to Beijing.

...

In this world, paper cannot contain fire, and there is no wall that is airtight. Especially in the face of politics, the slightest disturbance will cause a storm in the city.

The news that Fusu was forced to death was spread widely by people, especially in Xianyang. This incident caused a heated discussion, especially among the royal family, and even the other sons and daughters of the First Emperor.

In this matter, many people, instigated by some officials, were preparing to overturn Fusu's verdict and overthrow Hu Hai's throne.

In an inconspicuous tavern, a group of teenagers dressed in black were discussing this matter. Their voices were so loud that they attracted the attention of diners at other tables. Many people simply came over, stood beside them, and listened.

They had a heated discussion: "Have you heard? His Majesty the Emperor's decree was to establish the eldest son Fusu, but for some reason, this decree changed after Luan Yu came out."

"Why else? Someone must have done something to it." A man with a beard sneered disdainfully.

"Yes, I also heard that this matter was done by Zhao Gao, Li Si and others. They are really brave!" A person whispered, but it aroused the dissatisfaction of the companions on the side: "If the edict can be tampered with,

Is there any truth in this world?"

"Alas..." An old man sighed, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "It's not terrible to amend the edict, but the terrible thing is that they actually forced Mr. Fusu to death!"

When the old man said this, he looked outside the tavern and saw that no one was paying attention. He continued: "Young Master Fusu, Corporal Li Xian, once held a recruiting hall for the Qin State. Although something happened later, the recruiting hall was destroyed and the people were gone.

Buried alive, the man named Xiang Zhuang also died in this incident. But no matter what, Mr. Fusu’s heart is for our people. But now that Hu Hai has ascended the throne, he not only does not amend the political laws, but also imposes additional levies.

The corvées and the construction of Afang Palace have made the people everywhere miserable. I don’t want this kind of emperor!"

"You're dying!" A young man looked around cautiously and scolded the old man: "It's better to say less about such treasonous things!"

The old man also felt that he had talked too much, so he waved his hands and sighed: "It's better not to talk about this topic."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone was about to go back to their tables to continue drinking, but at this moment, an army broke into the tavern. They held long guns and arrested some men, women, old and children. An officer entered the room.

After looking at it, he waved his hand and ordered: "Capture them all!"

In another corner of Xianyang Street, a wine shop was also ransacked by officers and soldiers, and all the guests were taken away. In the afternoon, a large number of Qin soldiers poured into Xianyang City. They began to arrest Confucian scholars on a large scale, arrest passing guests, and arrest those who dared to

No less than 7,000 people were arrested for anyone who was hotly discussing Fusu and Hu Hai.

In the afternoon, Hu Hai's troops returned to Xianyang City. Zhang Han's 300,000 troops were stationed in the east of Xianyang. The rest of the troops began to impose strict restrictions on Xianyang City. No one was allowed to gather in groups to drink, or to go out at night.

Anyone who dares to disobey orders after leaving Xianyang will be shot without mercy.

There was chaos in the city of Xianyang, and the people complained, but this did not change the violent behavior of the Qin army. Every day, people were arrested and killed in the streets. The streets were stained red with blood. Cries, complaints, and begging for mercy filled the streets of Xianyang.

.

In the palace, Hu Hai also had trouble sleeping and eating. The heated discussion in Xianyang City had already caused a storm in the city. At this time, in order to calm down the heated discussion, Hu Hai ordered Zhang Han to arrest thousands of people, but the number of people was increasing every day. If this continues,

It will inevitably lead to riots and uprisings, which is not what Hu Hai wants to see.

Moreover, Hu Hai has been so troubled these days that he cannot enjoy delicious food or go to the harem to enjoy beautiful women. The most terrible thing is that Hu Hai has not been close to women for half a month. This is like a smoker who cannot smoke heavy cigarettes. His drug addiction is

The attack caused him great pain.

Anxious and uneasy, Hu Hai could not sit on the Dragon Collapse. He paced back and forth in the main hall. Below him were his close ministers Zhao Gao and Zhang Han. They were already Hu Hai's right-hand men, but Zhang Han was still close, mainly Zhao Gao.

Not only was he his teacher, he was also the hero who single-handedly supported him. Hu Hai respected him very much. No matter what he did, he would leave it to Zhao Gao with confidence and follow any of his suggestions without hesitation.

The hall was extremely quiet. Zhao Gao and Zhang Han did not express any opinions. Hu Hai was also anxious and sat back on the soft seat. At this time, a chamberlain came over, put a bamboo slip on the table, bowed and left. At this time,

Zhao Gaocai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is the list of people I secretly investigated. These people have all participated in the conspiracy and secretly leaked the information to the people, which caused this large-scale rumor storm."

After listening to Zhao Gao's introduction, Hu Hai opened the booklet. At this moment, he was shocked by the list in the booklet. After being stunned for a long time, Hu Hai woke up from the shock. Most of the people on the list were relatives of the emperor.

Princes and ministers, if this list is followed, Xianyang will be in chaos. Thinking of this, Hu Hai angrily threw the bamboo slips on the table and said hatefully: "I must investigate these people who don't know life and death one by one!"

But Hu Hai was afraid of causing trouble, so he couldn't help but look at Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao was the roundworm in Hu Hai's belly. He saw Hu Hai's thoughts and couldn't help but chuckled: "Your Majesty, dealing with this kind of thing is not the same as doing blood transfusions for patients."

Similarly, dirty blood is the source of disease. Only by letting go of the dirty blood can you continue to produce fresh blood to supply your body. In this way, you can live a healthier life."

Hu Hai saw that Zhao Gao already had a case, so he couldn't help but leaned over, looked at Zhao Gao, and asked: "What can Qing Zhao do? Tell me quickly!"

Zhao Gao looked at Zhang Han and Fusu beside him, and couldn't help but said with a ferocious smile: "Many of the generals and officials in our court are the former officials of the First Emperor during his lifetime. They will not support His Majesty. If His Majesty can abolish the

If they are dealt with, a group of new officials can be promoted. These officials will be grateful for His Majesty's promotion and will swear loyalty to Your Majesty. With the support of these officials, are you still afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to control the situation of the court?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Gao said again: "But these officials are just fish, shrimps and crab generals after all. They cannot make big waves. The source of big waves lies in those princes and princesses. Only by getting rid of them can future troubles be eliminated forever. I hope that your majesty will

Able to commit suicide."

At this point, Zhao Gaozai stopped talking. He closed his eyes slightly, as if he was deep in thought, and seemed to be waiting for something. After an unknown amount of time, Hu Hai slammed the table, looked at Zhao Gao and Zhang Han, and said resolutely: "This

The two of you must handle this matter decisively and neatly, so as not to leave any hidden dangers for me."

Zhao Gao's goal has been achieved. He clasped his hands and bowed to sing a promise. On the side, Zhang Han also stood up and saluted: "I obey the decree."

The two left, and looking at their backs, Hu Hai had mixed feelings in his heart. He very much hoped that Zhao Gao could take the opportunity to get rid of all the royal relatives and make his position as stable as Mount Tai. However, he was afraid that this would cause dissatisfaction in the world, and he would also be dissatisfied with himself.

Unfavorable, but no matter what it is, Hu Hai can't care about it at the moment. He hasn't touched a woman for half a month. Hu Hai feels that his whole body is about to wither and die. At this time, the two figures have just walked out of the hall, and Hu Hai can't wait to call.
