Gu Xun shook his hand and brought the topic back to the right track:
"The point of what I'm telling you is not that the Mohists plan to assassinate the emperor, but how Luo Wang will treat the Qinglong Plan."
Zhang Han frowned and replied hesitantly, "Since it is a major assassination matter, Luo Sheng will not act recklessly and will secretly stop it."
"Do you think Luo Wang is loyal to the emperor?" Gu Xun asked him with a smile.
Zhang Han simply said it all, "Even if Luo Wang is disloyal, he would never dare to put your majesty in danger, right?"
It is a serious crime to assassinate the king and kill the emperor. Not only the person who assassinates is guilty, but also the person responsible for protecting the emperor and the people around the emperor are guilty of a serious crime if there is any slight mistake.
If the emperor was assassinated and died, I'm afraid Zhao Gaodu would have to be buried to plead guilty.
Even if the emperor is fine, if the commotion is too ugly, it will be of great concern.
No matter how crazy Zhao Gao is, he will not dare to add fuel to the fire and add jealousy to this kind of thing.
"The law... is a good thing." Gu Xun couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, "The empire governs the world according to the legalist theory, and everything is governed by legal principles."
Zhang Han didn't understand why Gu Xun suddenly mentioned this, so he could only nod in agreement.
This is politically correct, so he will naturally not object to it, and besides, he thinks it is a good point.
Although people all over the world say that Qin's laws are unbridled and violent, no matter whether they are violent or harsh, they are indeed governed by laws.
Gu Xun suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Is that really the case?"
"This..." Zhang Han was unsure of Gu Xun's thoughts and did not dare to answer hastily.
Gu Xun changed the subject again, "Have you ever seen the public loser's machine beast?"
"Of course." Zhang Han nodded and replied.
"Then have you ever seen public losers maintain and repair those machine beasts?"
"I've seen it a few times."
"The mechanism made of iron and stone still needs constant maintenance. How can the legal principles formulated by this person be able to run continuously?" Gu Xun asked with a sigh.
Zhang Han could only respond silently.
Gu Xun continued, "If we follow the court's laws, I'm afraid Feng Yushi and the entire censorship system under him should be deposed!"
"If the imperial laws were followed, all the officials from more than ten counties in Qi, Lu, Jingchu, and Chu would have been imprisoned for questioning!"
Zhang Han didn't even dare to answer the conversation. He lowered his head and wished he could crawl into the ground and disappear.
The Feng Yushi mentioned by Gu Xun is naturally Feng Jie, the Yushi doctor, and the younger brother of Feng Quji, the right prime minister.
In terms of official status, he was only the third most powerful person in the imperial court, just below the prime ministers.
No matter how many problems the censor system under his management had, no one dared to say anything, not even Zhang Han.
As for the local officials in Qi, Lu, Jingchu and other places, Zhang Han dared to say, but he dared to say that it was of no use. The emperor had nothing to do with them.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Han cautiously replied, "But this crime of assassination is no more serious than others. Who can do it? Who dares to do it?"
"The emperor can, the emperor dares!" Gu Xun answered Zhang Han's question in a deep voice.
This answer made Zhang Han's pupils suddenly dilate!
There are no two days in heaven, and there are no two kings in man.
There is only one sun in the sky of the empire, and naturally there is only one emperor, His Majesty.
At first glance, Gu Xun's words make people think that if the trap is random, His Majesty the Emperor will deliberately protect Zhao Gao.
But Zhang Han knew very well that although Ying Zheng was somewhat tolerant of Zhao Gaoduo, it was impossible for him to be kind to him in real important matters.
In the Daze Mountain incident, if there had not been a direct conflict between the Shadow Guards and Luo Wang, both sides suffered casualties, making all the evidence in Zhang Han's hands look like an excuse for him to attack Luo Wang, and Zhao Gao would have shed his skin even if he did not die.
It was related to the serious crime of assassination. If Zhao Gao was involved in the slightest, the emperor would definitely take his head directly and show no mercy.
In this case, there is only one possibility for the emperor to return the net, in Zhang Han's opinion, that is, the act of setting up the net was approved by the emperor, or simply the emperor asked Zhao Gao to do it.
This is not impossible.
A major assassination case is an excellent reason to make a big fuss.
Even Ying Zheng often needs reasons to do things and needs to learn from famous people.
But the probability of this possibility is too low in Zhang Han's opinion.
The Qinglong Plan is led by the Mohist family, and the farmers may give support. If some other rebellious forces are involved, that's it.
There is absolutely no reason for the emperor to move against these forces, and it is even more impossible for the emperor to use himself as an excuse.
It would be easier to just let Luo Sheng do it than to waste this effort.
After ruling out this possibility, the only thing Zhang Han could think of was the most inappropriate answer.
The emperor is just an identity. Ying Zheng is the emperor and the first emperor, but no one thinks that he will be the only emperor... maybe he thinks he is.
If the First Emperor would definitely not condone Luo Wang's chaos, and then think about the goal of the Qinglong Project, then the meaning of Gu Xun's words is probably that... the new emperor will condone Luo Wang.
It’s hard to say who this new emperor is, Zhang Han, but he’s definitely not the eldest son Fusu.
But if Gu Xun really meant this, wouldn't it mean that Zhao Gao already had...
For Zhang Han, who respected imperial power, this idea and possibility was too treasonous and shocking.
He thought about it, but didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing Zhang Han sweating on his forehead, Gu Xun snorted coldly and scolded him with some dissatisfaction:
"What are you afraid of!"
"General... General..." Zhang Han smiled and responded with some stumbling, "General, I just don't understand what you mean, and I'm afraid I said the wrong thing."
Gu Xun glared at him and said, "I won't argue with you whether you understand or not. What are you afraid of? There is nothing to be afraid of. It's not like someone wants your life!"
"This..." Zhang Han raised his hand to wipe a few beads of sweat from his forehead, and replied with a wry smile, "I'm not afraid, I'm just... I just don't understand, and I don't understand, how could..."
"I don't understand how someone could be so bold?" Gu Xun looked at him and calmly helped him finish the second half of the sentence.
Zhang Han lowered his head to the lowest point and did not answer the question.
Gu Xun sighed softly when he saw this, and no longer cared about Zhang Han's attitude towards the imperial power, he just said:
"I heard a saying before - the world is just a huge grassroots team, and everyone is just fooling each other."
"The same is true for the empire. No matter how supreme the emperor is, he is just a member of this grass-roots team."
"You must have heard the farmer's saying that princes and generals should be in love with each other."
Zhang Han was a little stunned, but felt that Gu Xun's words made some sense.
Caotai team... This sounds absurd, but it is quite interesting if you think about it carefully.
However, the concepts that Zhang Han has formed over the years cannot be completely shaken by Gu Xun in just a few words.
He still didn't want to directly face the possibility raised by Gu Xun, so he simply skipped this part of the topic and only talked about Luo Wang, the Moh family, and the Qinglong Project:
"Sir, are you worried that Luo Wang will secretly provide support for the Blue Dragon Project?"
Gu Xun didn't want to discuss the topic of who wanted the emperor's death with him, so he followed his words and responded:
"It doesn't matter whether Luo Wang will do it or not. What matters is, if they do it, what will they do?"
"What do you mean, sir... Zhao Gao will again use the hidden stakes he planted among the rebels?"
"If you want to ensure that your hands don't get dirty, you have to wear a few more layers of gloves." Gu Xun responded calmly, "Just try to keep an eye on it."
"Yes, I will try my best to seize the tail of the snare." Zhang Han's tone was startled, and he finally spoke with some energy.
From the beginning to now, it has always been a sensitive topic that he, the little leader of the Shadow Guard, dare not discuss, and it is quite frustrating.
Now that it was clear that he had to deal with Luo Sheng, and that he might really have a chance to completely solve this cancer that was gradually becoming a chronic disease, Zhang Han was extremely excited.
With a playful smile on his face, Gu Xun seemed to have other ideas about Zhang Han's words, and he reminded him meaningfully:
"If you detect any movements in the trap, just report it to me as soon as possible. Don't take any action on your own."
Zhang Han was a little confused about this instruction, but seeing that Gu Xun had no intention of explaining it, he could only nod in agreement, "I understand, general."
………………
On the outskirts of Songhai City, the Mohist stronghold.
Master Ban and other senior leaders of the Mohist family gathered together again.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Thief Zhi first asked Master Ban who came to see them, "Is there any news from the farmer's house?"
Master Ben nodded, with obvious joy on his face, "There is a reply. Their efficiency is beyond my expectation, old man."
Gao Jianli asked in a deep voice, "How do you say it?"
"The farmer made it clear that their new hero might be able to provide important information about the Eastern Patrol Team and Ying Zheng himself." Master Ban was also unambiguous and answered concisely, "It's the same as the analysis of the ovary last time. You can say exactly the same thing.”
These words made everyone present brighten their eyes.
When engaging in assassination, the most important thing is the environment...or in other words, the opportunity that is suitable for the assassination.
If you want to have this opportunity, you have to seize what you already have or create a new one.
When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Ying Zheng lived in the heavily guarded Qin palace, and it was difficult to find suitable opportunities.
Therefore, Prince Dan of Yan chose to create a suitable opportunity by himself - using Yan's Dukang map and Fan Yuqi's head.
Many of the Mo family's previous arrangements for the Eastern Tour Team were also based on this concept.
However, the Mohists, who have completely become rebels and have lost the qualification to talk to the empire on an equal footing, can no longer use the various resources in their hands to create this opportunity like the last time. They can only try to use people to create one - in a sense, it can be regarded as Use resources, human resources.
There is no doubt that this method of using people to pile up is a stupid method, but they have no choice.
Looking for ready-made opportunities requires sufficient information, but unfortunately they don't have it.
If the farmers can fill in the information gap left by Changping Jun, then their chances of success will probably be even greater.
But after being happy, doubts arose.
It was Tao Zhi who spoke first, "Farmer, are you really capable of this?"
Master Ban shrugged, stroking his beard and replied, "The Zhu family hall master made it clear that their hero has some clues, but he still needs some time."
"As a sign of sincerity, she first provided information about the current location of the convoy, and I have arranged for someone to verify it."
Having said this, it is obvious from Master Ban's tone that he is sure that the location information provided by the farmer is correct.
After all, it is one of the major sects and is famous for its large number of people, so it is impossible to fool people with false news.
Gao Jianli and others basically believe this.
If the farmers can really obtain important information from the empire, then a new problem will arise.
Thief Zhi touched his chin and said with a smile, "So, the new peasant leader, the eldest lady Tian Yan, will not really come from the snare as Zifang said..."
Thief Zhi didn't finish what he said, he just made a gesture that everyone understood.
Master Ben smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Who can say for sure on this matter."
"Let's ask later to see if the farmer is willing to explain the source of the intelligence."
"This matter of dry cleaning is not a trivial matter. There must be a conclusion." Gao Jianli solemnly reminded him clearly.
Master Ban nodded, "Don't worry, old man, I can still spare this matter."
In theory, it doesn't matter where the farmer gets the information, as long as the information is accurate.
If a farmer has the skills, there will be no problem from God.
But if the source of the intelligence is a trap, the Mohists will have to think carefully.
Their goal is to assassinate Ying Zheng, the real owner of the net.
Using other people's intelligence channels to assassinate their big boss is something that even the Mo family would not dare to think about even if they were drunk.
And if such an unimaginable thing happened, they would not be able to handle it without caution.
If the trap is plotted, and the Mo family ends up falling into a trap designed long ago, not only will the Mo family be embarrassed, but people will also have to pay a lot of money.
Thief Zhi scratched his head and asked a new question, "Is the new hero from the farm family reliable?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Reliable." Gao Jianli answered the question and gave an explanation, "This is what Mr. Gai Nie personally assured me."
"Tian Yan, the eldest daughter of the peasant family, is trustworthy!"
Gai Nie's character and credibility are of course beyond praise. Since he is personally guaranteeing it, everyone is willing to believe Tian Yan's position.
So even if there is a problem with this matter, the most likely outcome is that Luo Sheng is using Tian Yan to plot against them, and will not let the matter develop into the worst possible situation.
At the same time, if there is no problem with Tian Yan, then there may not be a problem with her intelligence, and the hope that this matter will turn out to be successful is much greater.
"In this case, the next step is to continue communicating with the farmers, and at the same time determine the location of the east patrol convoy and try to lock them in as long as possible. Also, based on the travel speed of the convoy, determine the time of their arrival and choose a suitable ambush location...
"
"These things are relatively simple. Only on the side of the motorcade... Xiaozhi, please go there in person." After making some arrangements, Master Ban told Thief Zhi.
Thief Zhi also worked hard and took no complaints. He stood up and left without hesitation, "No problem, I'll set off right now. As long as the information from the farmers is correct, I guarantee that I won't be able to run away from them."
"Well, if there is any new news, I will send someone to pass it on to you as soon as possible." Master Ben nodded and replied.
While the Mohist high-level officials continued to advance the Qinglong Plan step by step, Genie quietly left the Mohist stronghold and headed towards Songhai City.
He was going to meet an old friend and ask some questions to determine what he should do next.
It was about dawn, and Ge Nie felt that he should be able to get the answer, but he was not completely sure.
The man himself had a weird personality, acted erratically, and his attitude towards matters concerning Tianming was particularly vague.
I just hope that his trip will not be in vain - it doesn't hurt to spend some time, but I am afraid that how to deal with Tianming's problem next will become a problem.
