Zhao Gao was shocked when he heard this. How did your majesty know about his cousin?

I couldn't bear to think about this, because the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.

Your Majesty actually knows about my distant cousin. Then, are there other things that Your Majesty does not know?

Your Majesty...it's really scary.

Whatever you do from now on, you must not hide it from His Majesty!

Zhao Gao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and heard a plop. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am guilty! I should not be nepotistic. Please forgive me!"

The best way is to take the initiative to show off your cards.

We cannot allow His Majesty to settle accounts later.

This is called striking first to gain the upper hand.

Zhao Changqing glanced at Zhao Gao who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "I don't have any other intentions, and I won't blame you easily for this matter. It's just that I heard that Gao Lishi is very smart and has a few

He is your cousin, so I want to give him this opportunity. Why, as an elder brother, you are not willing?"

Zhao Gao did not dare to raise his head to look at the emperor. He spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, slave... I should not hide anything from Your Majesty. Your Majesty's original intention of establishing factory guards was to eliminate corruption among domestic officials who form cliques for personal gain. This kind of nepotism is naturally the same.

It’s within the rules. I really regret it, I shouldn’t have done this!”

Zhao Changqing snorted coldly and said: "Okay, get up. Let Gao Lishi get familiar with the environment in the palace in the past two days and teach him how to handle things in the palace, and then choose a good day to take office. I'm tired.

, you go down."

Zhao Gao was still a little confused at this moment.

Does your Majesty still insist on letting Gao Lishi hold this position?

He withdrew.

Then he went straight to Dongchang's base camp without hesitation.

He found his distant cousin who couldn't hit eight poles, and asked him: "Gao Lishi, what have you done these days?"

Zhao Gao was really unsure. Why did His Majesty let him replace him as the chief eunuch?

This position is like an official in a big family, with high authority.

Many princes and ministers rushed to come to curry favor with him.

Let Gao Lishi take this position?

Can he survive alone in the harem facing the complex interpersonal relationships?

What's more, there are many empresses in the palace.

Gao Lishi was confused by Zhao Gao's question.

What did you do?

What can you do recently?

The number of case files sent in the past is gradually decreasing.

I stay in the factory guard every day, doing nothing but doing nothing. What else can I do?

He said: "Captain, I have been busy with fortifications recently and haven't done much."

During his tenure, Gao Lishi always called Zhao Gao the governor.

This is a rule, and I don't dare to go beyond it in the slightest.

Zhao Gao took a deep breath and thought to himself: "How did your Majesty know about the existence of my distant cousin?"

There is no point in understanding this now. He looked at Gao Lishi, forced out a smile, and said loudly: "Gao Lishi is taking your Majesty's orders."

Gao Lishi was stunned when he heard the sound, a little at a loss.

His Majesty’s oral instructions?

It’s comparable to an imperial edict!

Zhao Gao glared at him.

He quickly came to his senses, knelt on the ground and said, "Gao Lishi pays homage to His Majesty's Holy Order."

Zhao Gaodao said: "His Majesty's holy words have appointed Gao Lishi as the Chief Eunuch of the Great House, and he will take office on a good day."

Gao Lishi was confused again.

Zhao Gao helped Gao Lishi up and said earnestly: "I don't know how you got into the Holy Dharma Eyes, but the palace is no better than outside the palace. You have to be careful in everything you do. Now I will take you into the palace.

Learn some palace rules. The sixth day of the next month is a good day. On that day, you can take office."

Ouchi eunuch chief?

Such a big piece of pie falls on yourself?

This feeling...

It's like rising from the ground into the clouds instantly.

As the saying goes, it’s ‘a little bit floating’.

Gao Lishi nodded quickly to thank him, and then whispered to Zhao Gao: "Brother, what is going on?"

Zhao Gao looked around and said, "Follow me."

Obviously, this is not the place to talk.

Your Majesty must have placed his own men among the factory guards.

Otherwise, why would you know the existence of this little guy Gao Lishi, and also know your relationship with him?

There must be something fishy in this.

It seems that no matter what I say from now on, I have to be more careful.

Gao Lishi followed Zhao Gao to an uninhabited area.

Zhao Gaocai said to him: "Your Majesty summoned me to the palace today and said that he wanted you to be the chief eunuch. This is not a good thing."

Gao Lishi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked: "What do you mean, brother?"

Zhao Gaodao: "Have you told others about our relationship?"

Gao Lishi shook his head and said: "In order to avoid suspicion, no one among the factory guards knows about the relationship between the younger brother and the older brother."

Zhao Gao frowned when he heard this and said: "That's strange. Your Majesty actually knows about the relationship between you and me, and named you to be the eunuch chief. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

After thinking about it carefully, Gao Lishi became a little scared.

Zhao Gaodao: "No matter what, your Majesty has spoken first. You have to do this position of eunuch chief, whether you do it or not. The elder brother in the palace cannot always take care of you. You have to be more careful. The palace

Anyone here can be offended, but you must stay away from the concubines and relatives of the emperor, otherwise one day you will not even know how you died."

After saying this, Zhao Gao took Gao Lishi into the palace.

Along the way, the two of them were trying to figure out the holy meaning.

They really don't understand what His Majesty means by doing this.

His Majesty's intentions are really getting harder and harder to figure out.

The Holy Power is unpredictable!

The abyss is as deep as the sea!

From now on, we must work harder and work harder for His Majesty to repay His Majesty's kindness. Otherwise, I'm afraid a disaster may be imminent at any time!

In the Xuanzheng Palace.

Zhao Changqing is handling government affairs.

The memorials in recent days are basically related to Chu State.

Although the territory has been divided, who will be assigned to manage it has become a top priority now.

At this moment, King Changlin, Zhuge Liang, the Five Tiger Generals, etc. were all in the Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhao Changqing's eyes looked at them, and finally rested on Zhao Changlin. He hesitated and said: "Chu State needs talents to manage such a large territory, but in order to be just in case, it is even more necessary to station the army. I have thought about it again and again.

, I feel that this candidate is none other than Ninth Brother.

I will give you an army of 300,000. From now on, you will be permanently stationed in Chu State, which is now the land of Three States and Nine Roads. Your army of 300,000 does not belong to the local garrison. I will give you the right to do things conveniently.

Properly handle the government affairs of the three states and nine provinces."

This is a big stall, and Zhao Changqing would not feel at ease if he handed it over to anyone. Only by handing it over to his own younger brother could he gain some peace of mind.

Zhao Changlin knew this and accepted the order happily.

Although Chu State's problems are difficult to solve, it is not impossible to solve. What's more, he still has 300,000 Changlin troops at his disposal. As time goes by, all Chu State's problems will be easily solved.

Zhao Changqing always felt that there was something about Chu that was not done well, but he could never figure it out.

Perhaps seeing the doubts in His Majesty's eyes, Zhuge Liang stood up, and everyone just listened to him say: "Your Majesty, do you want to set up a companion capital in Chu State? For example, all officials from the six ministries are equipped with foreign companions. In this case, how can we deal with it?

Things in the Chu State are not so complicated. Moreover, when the time comes for the imperial examination of the local people in the Chu State, they can also directly take the imperial examination locally. Those selected from the imperial examination will come to Luoyang to enter the palace to meet the saint. What do you think?"

Zhao Changqing frowned. This was a good idea, but in this way, Zhao Changlin would have greater power.

He was worried, so he vetoed Zhuge Liang's suggestion and said: "Don't bother me. When the local scholars in Chu State take part in the imperial examination and prepare to become officials, they all come to Luoyang and prepare two examination rooms. One is the examination room for the imperial examination of scholars in Wei State.

One is an examination room specially prepared for local scholars in Chu State. Talents are selected based on merit. I will not favor anyone on this point."

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was not the only hidden danger in Chu State.

Zhao Changqing took a sip of tea and continued: "I plan to send Huo Qubing to Chu State to take charge of recruiting and training soldiers. As for how many troops to recruit in Chu State, I will tell Huo Qubing when the time comes. How many troops will be recruited in Chu State?

The men and horses are all gathered at the border and are not responsible for the internal affairs of the Chu State. The internal affairs of the three states and nine roads still have to rely on the efforts of the ninth brother and the Changlin Army under his command."

It must be said that this is a strategy to nip problems in the bud.

In this way, the possibility of Zhao Changlin's rebellion is completely reduced to a minimum. In fact, Zhao Changlin will not do such a stupid thing.

Because he is very clear about how much he has. Even if he rebels, he cannot be his brother's opponent. Instead, he will be known as a rebellious minister and traitor. It is better to serve him well and strive to fight for a virtuous king in the future.
