Chapter 35 Liu Bei, Wu Zetian, and Wei Zhongxian met for the first time in Daqin
"Hu Hai, can it be abnormal recently?"
Wei Zhongxian, who became Zhao Gao, was asking the eunuch in front of him. The eunuch was his godson and was responsible for monitoring Hu Hai's every move.
"Godfather, Hu Hai is still like that. Although he looks like he pretends to be love and read, and is filial to His Majesty the First Emperor, he is still secretly playing with women..."
Just don't have any exceptions.
Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief. He was suspicious of the people he came into contact with, a little suspicious, and everyone looked like Liu Bei or Wu Zetian.
In the past month, he has been familiar with everything about Zhao Gao and has learned from Zhao Gao's appearance to avoid showing off his mistakes, especially worried that he would be seen by Liu Bei and Wu Zetian who might be hiding around him.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian deliberately avoided contact with some people, and he had not yet met Hu Hai.
"I'll go see him."
Wei Zhongxian was still a little worried. He had basically mastered what Zhao Gao should be. With confidence, he would not easily see something strange to others.
Just as he was about to go to Hu Hai's Palace.
At this moment, Emperor Qin Shihuang's favorite daughter Ying Yinman had been here for a while and was talking to Hu Hai.
"Brother, recently, our sisters who are not married have prepared a banquet. Do you want to come?"
Ying Yinman looked at Hu Hai and asked.
Hu Hai is Qin Shihuang's tenth son, but he is several years older than Ying Yinman.
On weekdays, Hu Hai doesn't like to interact with his brothers, but instead likes to interact with these sisters. Hu Hai is lustful, and sometimes he makes his sisters dislike him, so he basically avoids him.
Ying Yinman rarely took the initiative to look for Hu Hai, let alone invited Hu Hai to the banquet.
Somewhat abnormal?
Could she be Wu Zetian or Wei Zhongxian?
Liu Bei, who became Hu Hai, was alert, but on the surface he pretended to be Hu Hai's usual appearance, deliberately looked at Ying Yinman, and then said, "Okay, I haven't been together with my sisters for a long time. Go, of course I have to go."
Ying Yinman's eyes flashed with contempt, "It's good if my brother is willing to go, my sisters will definitely be happy. The sisters will leave first and wait for my brother's banquet to arrive."
Liu Bei was still like Hu Hai, and he kept it lustfully and said, "Sister, don't rush to leave. I have new things here, so let me show you."
Ying Yinman declined, "One other day, I have to go to other brothers."
"Oh?" Liu Bei asked, "There are other people? Will Fusu go?"
Ying Yinman nodded: "Brother has agreed."
Liu Bei smiled, "Okay. I'll talk to you in a few days."
Ying Yinman hurriedly left.
"She looks normal. Is she really just here to invite her to the banquet?"
Liu Bei also felt that Ying Yinman was not like Wu Zetian or Wei Zhongxian pretending.
Ying Yinman left Hu Hai's palace shortly after, and then met her sister Ying Shiman outside the palace.
"Sister, why do you want to invite Hu Hai? He is disgusting."
Ying Yinman complained to her sister Ying Shiman.
This banquet was advocated by Ying Shiman, but Ying Yinman came to Cao Cao, and Ying Shiman planned it behind the scenes.
"It's okay, I'll deal with him slowly in the future."
Ying Shiman said: "Sister, remember, I can't tell anyone about things."
Ying Yinman nodded: "Don't worry, for our future, I will not betray you even if I die."
Ying Shiman has become different recently, but it is only in front of Ying Yinman, and everything is normal at other times.
But it seems that Ying Shiman has completely "scamdled" or has conquered Ying Yinman.
"Let's go, let's go to Gongzi Gao's place."
Ying Shiman said.
Not long after, they met Zhao Gao.
"Zhao Gao greets the two princesses."
Wei Zhongxian performed the ceremony.
Ying Yinman showed a hint of displeasure, "Mr. Zhao, where are you going?"
Wei Zhongxian remained silent: "Mr. Hu Hai asked me to go over."
The three of them didn't say a few words and then left.
Ying Yinman complained to her sister Ying Shiman: "Sister, this Zhao Gao is not a good thing, it's very bad. We must be careful of him, but it's best not to offend him easily."
Ying Shiman nodded thoughtfully.
She observed Zhao Gao specifically but didn't see anything.
Everyone must have guessed that Ying Shiman is Wu Zetian.
This empress is starting to make plans, Hu Hai and Fusu are all her goals.
She was also carefully observing the people around her, and no suspicious ones were found at present.
For Wu Zetian, Hu Hai is easier to control, but there must be a force to solve Zhao Gao, Li Si and others in the future.
As for Fusu, this person has his own opinions and is difficult to control. However, Fusu is deeply influenced by Confucianism, so he will be easy to get along with. In the future, Wu Zetian may be able to become an official as a woman.
The Confucianism of the Great Qin Dynasty was not as severely restricted as women's thoughts in later generations.
Although it is rare for women to be officials, it is more acceptable than the Tang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty.
On the other side.
Wei Zhongxian also quietly looked at Ying Yinman and Ying Shiman before, but he didn't see any clues.
He came to Hu Hai's Palace.
There are all the spies arranged by Zhao Gao here, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t need to inform him, but Wei Zhongxian still followed Zhao Gao’s previous practice and asked someone to inform him of Hu Hai first.
"Is Zhao Gao here?"
Liu Bei had never met Zhao Gao, so he didn't like this treacherous minister who pushed the Qin Dynasty toward destruction.
But he will still use Zhao Gao in the future, and the situation is unclear at present, and Zhao Gao may be Wei Zhongxian or Wu Zetian, so Liu Bei must stay calm.
In fact, Hu Hai looked down on Zhao Gao and regarded Zhao Gao as a slave. He spoke arrogantly, regardless of Zhao Gao's feelings.
"Why are you here?"
Liu Bei pretended to be what Hu Hai should have, and looked like he was in a bad mood and was unhappy to talk to Zhao Gao.
But he secretly looked at Zhao Gao.
Wei Zhongxian showed some displeasure on his face, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Young Master, I am here to remind you that it is getting more and more critical now, and you cannot continue to make trouble. You must read more and respect His Majesty the First Emperor, and gain favorable feelings, so that you can have the opportunity to get the position you want!"
It would be a pity that these two people didn't go to be actors.
Liu Bei looked unwilling, but when Zhao Gao looked stern, he responded perfunctorily: "I know how to do it. If you have nothing else, go back."
Liu Bei felt relieved. He had been acting like a show before, and was really doing fakes, singing every day, and his body couldn't bear it.
Now that Zhao Gao said, he could naturally not do things he was unwilling to do, or do less, and it would be more appropriate to make the change too big and it would easily cause suspicion.
After observing Zhao Gao, Liu Bei did not notice anything unusual and was slightly relieved, but he was still alert.
Wei Zhongxian (Zhao Gao) was not in a hurry to leave, "I have been planning to find a way to drive Meng Tian out of Xianyang, and it will be much easier to deal with Fusu."
Liu Bei's eyes lit up: "There is already a way? Then do it, what are you waiting for?"
He thought that in history, Zhao Gao used the "Hu Ye, the one who destroyed Qin", to support Meng Tian away from Fusu, and then designed Fusu, so that he could be sent to the northern border and Meng Tian to guard the border, and he would not be allowed to return to Xianyang without intention.
Seeing Hu Hai's impatient look, Wei Zhongxian sneered in his heart: Haha, you will be the chess piece in our hands in the future!
Liu Bei was thinking that he had to speed up his preparations. He needed some strength to get rid of Zhao Gao in the future.
Chapter completed!
