Chapter 212: Emperor Qin: I have always been a clear sign!
"This little father-in-law, what is your name? What kind of kung fu do you practice!"
"Don't ask. Internal servants cannot collude with foreign ministers. Sometimes these rules are quite strict. They may be killed at some point. Besides, there are four bearers now. How can they give any other people any clues?" ?" Di Renjie rolled his eyes, a little impressed that this boy could still smile playfully in such a serious and solemn palace.
Zuo Zhou sighed with deep feeling, and became more concerned about the country and the people. He felt sad for the father-in-law in his heart. He didn't expect that before the social productivity has exploded, the eunuch world has become entangled!
Zhuge Zhengga on the side obviously misunderstood Zuo Zhou's thoughts and thought he was just out of curiosity. He explained: "In the palace, there are actually two ways for ministers to be promoted. One is based on merit, which is a bit similar to that in the army. The more merit you have, the more merit you have." The higher the rank, the bigger the official. Just like Cao Zhengchun just now, he can only become a eunuch in places such as Shangyi Jian based on merit. The other type relies on martial arts, which also has a fixed system. From doorkeepers to bearers, from secret guards to secret guard leaders, eunuchs with good martial arts talents will be promoted step by step. Each time they reach a position, they will practice the special martial arts of that position, and eventually become almost omnipotent, and then guard His Majesty's Safety."
Zuo Zhou frowned and looked at the bearers in front of him. He was convinced that these were a group of assembly line masters.
"However, it does not mean that these eunuchs who follow the merit system cannot become masters. On the contrary, they have to be more free. There are no rigid requirements for what kind of martial arts they should practice or the level of practice. Wei Jinzhong is an example. He uses merit to get to the top, but That skill is not weak either." Lu Xiaofeng added.
Zuo Zhou tilted his head slightly and said with a playful smile: "It's Wei Jinzhong's brain that got him to the top through merit? Then let's find out what merit he has gained over the years. Can we uncover some hidden enemies?"
Di Renjie glanced at him with disgust, "Waiting for you to tell me, ever since I determined Wei Jinzhong's conspiracy, I have been looking for those forces in the DPRK that have colluded with him. According to Emperor Qin's wishes, these are all Wei Jinzhong's party and need to be eliminated. .”
Zuo Zhou was stunned for a moment, not because of Di Renjie's contempt, but... "Your Majesty's order... If Wei Jinzhong is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then that's it. But isn't there still the problem of the Qinglong Society? The correct way is to kill him One batch, leave another batch, and then follow the example? Also...you should be more respectful to me, instead of 'Your Majesty' for one moment, and 'Qin Huang' for another, can the titles be consistent?"
Di Renjie was slightly startled, looked at Lu Xiaofeng and Zhuge Zhengwo in a vague way, and then smiled bitterly, "It's really bad habits that can't be changed. Forget it, there are some things you don't understand. You will understand them when you understand them later."
Zuo Zhou: "..." What he hates the most is leaving half of what he says.
The rest of the journey was silent. The bearers practiced Qinggong very quickly and arrived at Emperor Qin's palace in less than a quarter of an hour.
Zuo Zhou was excited. He was about to meet Brother Zheng. Although he was not the one from the Earth next door, this was definitely an achievement that he had unlocked. Well, in the future, he would definitely visit other countries and collect those historical figures. I met all the emperors with their surnames.
When everyone got off the sedan, they saw the wide and long steps, and standing on the top of the steps was Prime Minister Li Si.
"Old Di, you came a little late. Why did Wei Jinzhong waste so much time?"
Li Si was half teasing and half asking, and Di Renjie looked helpless, "We had already killed him, but then the Qintian prisoner suddenly came out and asked us for the body. I don't have any friendship with him, not to mention I'm afraid that he will
I wouldn't collude with Qinglong, so I refused. But as you know, I have to be decent in terms of etiquette, so I delayed."
Zuo Zhou's face twitched slightly. How much time could Xu Fu waste by saying those words? You are really cheating me by saying that. Well, although Lao Di looks great and upright on the surface, he is also black inside when he cuts it. I like it!
Li Si frowned when he heard this, "Qintian Supervisor...Does Da Qin still have this official? Forget it, we will talk about it later, Your Majesty can't wait any longer!"
Di Renjie was not surprised. Everyone started to enter the palace, but Zuo Zhou felt something was wrong. "Your Majesty, can't wait any longer?" Wasn't it just to kill Wei Jinzhong? Would Brother Zheng care about this?
Although the Qin Emperor's palace is not as big as the place where he went to court, it is definitely not small, and the whole body is black in tone, making it look very solemn.
Well, Zuo Zhou actually had a doubt in his previous life. The imperial palaces of any dynasty were always so big. If the emperor just walked into any palace, those assassins who forced their way into the palace would probably take a long time just to find the target.
After all, not all emperors considered face so important, and it was reasonable for some of them to hide. After all, there was a scene in "The Assassin's Biography" where Emperor Qin walked around the pillars!
"Your Majesty, Di Renjie (Zhuge Zhengwo, Lu Xiaofeng, Li Yuanfang) paid homage to Your Majesty and met Xiao Consort."
Yes, Prince Consort Xiao is here too, sitting in a wheelchair, which is outrageous!
Well, in fact, what Zuo Zhou likes most about Da Qin is that he doesn't need to kneel down at all times. After giving a slight salute, Zuo Zhou couldn't wait to look up.
Hiss! This Emperor Qin... is a bit majestic. Well, this is a very strange feeling, like majesty, but not completely majestic!
A contradictory sense of detachment came to Zuo Zhou's heart. To be honest, Brother Zheng is a standard middle-aged handsome man with a slight stubble and no traditional goatee. His skin condition is very good, although according to the
He must be in his late forties, but there is no trace of weathering.
According to the history next door, Brother Zheng will only live to be forty-nine. Doesn’t that mean he will die next year? But Zuo Zhou then put this idea aside. There are so many countries in the world, and everyone calls him the emperor.
, since Emperor Qin was not the first, there is no longer the title "Qin Shihuang", so it is normal for his fate to be somewhat different.
It was just the first time that Zuo Zhou saw someone whose appearance and temperament didn't match. It was like a novice learning the art of disguise. The human skin mask was very delicate, but he couldn't learn the essence of it and couldn't restore it.
Perfect temperament.
It's very awkward, you are the Emperor of Qin! Shouldn't you be so shocked that I will pee with just one glare?
"Wei Jinzhong is dead?"
Zuo Zhou was still awkward here, but Emperor Qin had already spoken, and his voice was very soft, which almost gave him the illusion that Emperor Qin was so gentle.
"Report to Your Majesty..."
Before Di Renjie could finish speaking, Emperor Qin interrupted him enthusiastically, "You see, everyone is confused. Since Aiqing has arrived, she has already decapitated the eunuch, so tell me about the process!"
Zuo Zhou's face couldn't help but tremble. Is Emperor Qin's spirit of gossip too strong? Could it be that he has suppressed it in the palace? There are so many beauties in the harem, but they can't satisfy you?
I took a peek at Lu Xiaofeng and Zhuge Zhengwo next to me and found that they were just as normal as Di Renjie.
Then Di Renjie began to narrate the battle process. Zuo Zhou was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Di Renjie had a talent for storytelling. This is called a yin and yang, and the ups and downs are smooth... In other words, he would not be doing this because of his habit of serving Emperor Qin.
It just comes from practice!
Zuo Zhou was a little dizzy. Will Di Renjie's character collapse? He felt that he might never hear Lao Di ask him, "Yuanfang, what do you think?"
"Is he Li Yuanfang?"
Zuo Zhou's heart skipped a beat, not because of the embarrassment of being caught on the run, but because... he didn't believe Di Renjie hadn't told Emperor Qin his true identity. So what did he mean?
If he admits it, will he throw a cup as a sign of recognition, and then the axe-wielding man will rush out and chop him alive?
For a moment, Zuo Zhou's head was covered with sweat.
Di Renjie next to him looked at him strangely, "Your Majesty is asking you something!"
Zuo Zhou nodded, bowed deeply, and bent his head almost to the ground, "Whoever your Majesty says I am, I am!"
"..."
(-w-)-w-)-w-)
Emperor Qin was silent. Good guy, I can't help you. He paused and waved, "Okay, let's just stand aside for now." Then he looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Let's talk about the Qinglong Society."
Lu Xiaofeng looked solemn and began to report the relevant matters. During the process, Di Renjie suddenly interrupted: "Your Majesty, when we found out that Jiangnan Road Deputy General Mo Laosan was probably a member of the Qinglong Society, we wanted to arrest him, but we didn't expect that Wei Jinzhong suddenly
This is very different from the information we got, so we suspect that Mo Laosan is very likely to have a big role."
Zhuge Zhengwo also took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Mo Laosan is inextricably related to the case of the Eight Gentlemen back then, and is also related to the murder case in the Prince Consort's Mansion. I would like to request a retrial of the case back then."
"The case of the Eight Gentlemen?" A trace of confusion flashed across Emperor Qin's face, then he looked at Xiao Consort, then at Li Si, and when he saw both of them nodding, he said, "Yes."
Didn’t Emperor Qin know about the Eight Gentlemen case?
Zuo Zhou was completely confused. The case of the Eight Gentlemen was such a sensation back then, not to mention the scandal involving Lao Ai and Emperor Qin's mother. How can he forget this?
This... this has clearly told everyone that Emperor Qin has a problem, right?
Zuo Zhou turned his head slightly and glanced at Di Renjie. Hey, he looked at his nose and heart, just like the old monk who jumped out of a thousand-year-old temple.
Okay, you are really good at it!
Then I heard Emperor Qin say to himself as if he was asking: "The Turks are in civil strife, the Jiannan Road army, the Jiangnan Road army, hehe, this Qinglong Society is quite organized. Prime Minister, is Yang Wenguang back?"
Li Si bowed slightly and said, "Count the days, we will be back soon."
Emperor Qin nodded, "As for the issue of Jiangnan Road, dear friends, please think about it after you go back and come up with a charter. The tragedy of the Jiangnan Road army cannot be repeated. Retreat!"
"Your Majesty, I have a plan to resolve the danger on Jiangnan Road!"
Zuo Zhou waited for a day. During this day, he killed Wei Jinzhong and knocked Xiao Qing unconscious. What was the reason for this?
