Yan Le hesitated and said: "But uncle, are you in prison now?"
"In prison? What does this mean? Do you think Meng Yi still dares to torture me?" Zhao Gao said with disdain, "Meng Yi is just a young boy. If he wasn't born in the Meng clan, and if Meng Wu died recently,
Can he sit in the high position of the left prisoner?"
"He's too young."
"We also know very little about the operation of the court."
"He can't do anything to me!"
"You don't have to worry about my situation in prison. You just need to take care of yourself and don't cause trouble outside during this period. If you cause trouble to me, I don't mind letting you go to jail."
Yan Le's face changed slightly.
He quickly said:
"Uncle, don't worry."
"How dare I cause trouble again?"
"It's just that I heard that Meng Yi investigated very carefully. I'm worried that Meng Yi really found something."
Zhao Gaoman said nonchalantly:
"Most of the things he checked were told by me."
"If he insists on it, I would be a little worried, but Meng Yi is obviously handling the case for the first time and doesn't understand the meaning. Therefore, he is focusing on me having an affair with the alchemist, colluding with the nobles of the six countries, and
I helped some people gain promotions and titles, but these things can't stop me."
Yan Le was puzzled.
As far as he knew, these were serious crimes, punishable for several crimes, and even punishable by death.
See the situation.
Zhao Gao showed a hint of pride in his eyes.
sneered:
"You know too little about the affairs in the palace."
"The palace is a big dyeing vat. Some things cannot be investigated in depth because they may be traced to other people. Meng Yi obviously doesn't know how to do this."
"I, Zhao Gao, have indeed secretly contacted the alchemist."
"But if I look for the alchemist, is it just for myself?"
"I am doing this for Your Majesty!"
"I have often presented elixirs to your majesty in the past. Some of the elixirs were praised by your majesty. They are also very effective. However, Da Qin has always been biased against alchemists, so your majesty directly asked the alchemists to make ordinary elixirs to treat diseases.
, doesn’t it make the world laugh?”
"Only a close minister like me can do this kind of thing!"
"Meng Yi doesn't understand!"
"Besides."
"Meng Yi has been checking my contact with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms these past few days. This is even more ridiculous. I, Zhao Gao, am originally from Zhao. What's the problem with contacting the nobles of the Six Kingdoms? What's more, the nobles I contacted have fled Xianyang. He
There is no evidence at all.”
"How dare he convict me without evidence?"
"As for nepotism."
"hehe."
"I, Zhao Gao, am just a eunuch. The only people I'm close to are my two younger brothers and you, my son-in-law. But how high are your official positions? And most of your official positions are promoted in accordance with the law. He
Can’t find a problem.”
"But those who can raise questions cannot delve into them."
"Because most of them are members of the Wang clan and the maternal clan of Mr. Hu Hai. These people are all related to Mr. Hu Hai. The reason why I can operate successfully is not only related to Mr. Hu Hai, but more importantly, His Majesty turns a blind eye.
Close one eye."
"After all, Marquis Wu Cheng died of illness and Marquis Tong Wu was in a coma. As a flag in the Qin army, how could the Wang clan fall easily? His Majesty's acquiescence in supporting some members of the Wang clan was actually given. I just helped His Majesty run a few more times.
Just a trip."
"The promotion of people from Prince Hu Hai's lineage has never been and is not approved by His Majesty."
"His Majesty's control over the court has never weakened!"
"It's just these unspoken rules. How can a man like Meng Yi, who comes from a wealthy family, understand it? Now that Meng Yi is clinging to these clues about me, he will only be found on His Majesty's head in the end.
"
"How can your Majesty be wrong?"
"The more severe Meng Yi's investigation is, the safer I will be."
"If Meng Yi really wanted to convict me, he could only convict me of crimes such as 'passing money' and 'taking an official position for good reasons'. But he obviously did not take these crimes seriously. He just wanted to punish me severely.
, and even sentenced me to death, but this is exactly helping me."
"Meng Yi is a man of upright and resolute character, but he doesn't know how to adapt or how to survive in the palace. He can't do anything to me."
"If he keeps insisting, Your Majesty will even forgive me himself."
Yan Le was stunned at first.
Then he seemed to realize something, his eyes flashed, and he exclaimed: "My uncle is indeed a mastermind. I'm afraid Meng Yi never dreamed of it. The more he investigates, the more beneficial it will be to my uncle."
"I, Yan Le, am really convinced."
A flash of complacency flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes.
Calmly said:
"You can go back."
"Remember to tell others not to worry about me."
"Nothing will happen to me."
"Nowadays, things in the DPRK are complicated. I am in prison, but I can stay out of it. This is not a bad thing for me."
Yan Le nodded quickly and said:
"Uncle, don't worry."
"After I go out, I will tell my uncle and the others as soon as possible. I will also give strict orders to others in the family and put them in a grounding zone. I will go back and wait for my uncle to come out."
Yan Le was all smiles.
A big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He had been worried before, lest something really happened to Zhao Gao. He had committed many crimes in the past, and Zhao Gao had covered them up for him. If something happened to Zhao Gao this time, his affairs might be revealed at some point. By then,
He might not be able to escape.
Now that he heard Zhao Gao's words, he was completely relieved.
Zhao Gao sat down on the ground.
He ignored Yan Le again.
In fact, he was still a little scared in his heart.
Because of what happened in Xianyang Palace, he still dare not think about it until now.
But he didn't dare to really lose His Majesty's closeness.
So as soon as he was imprisoned, he immediately confessed the crime he had committed. He just wanted Meng Yi to investigate deeply and expose these things to His Majesty. When Your Majesty sees this, he may miss his old relationship, and he will be safe because of it.
Landed.
This is his plan.
However, he was not sure whether his plan would work.
Yan Le left.
There was an excited smile on his face.
Zhao Gao was left alone sitting cross-legged in the prison, with his back to the cell door, making it difficult to see his face clearly and guess his mentality at this moment.
The prison was silent.

Qin Luoheng came back and returned to the palace. He also told the First Emperor his worries immediately. After listening, the First Emperor looked very calm and did not have too many mood swings. Instead, he turned around and asked
Another thing.
"Did you go to Yang Wengzi's banquet?"
Qin Luoheng did not dare to hide it, nodded and said: "I did go to the banquet at noon."
Ying Zheng said expressionlessly: "Most of the people attending this meeting are from the Guanzhong clan. You should know this."
Qin Luoheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I do know."
Ying Zheng continued: "The Guanzhong Clan has always been very close to you, but I want to warn you not to get too close to the Guanzhong Clan. You may not have deep feelings about this and think that being close to the Guanzhong Clan is beneficial to you, but in fact
otherwise."
"The world is bustling only for the sake of profit coming and going."
"You are too involved with the Guanzhong clan, and you will inevitably not be affected by them in the future, or even be restricted by them. As a minister of Great Qin, you cannot have too many biases. There is no small matter in the court, even if it is a little biased, it will eventually be transmitted.
It will become a very serious matter."
"You can take advantage of the power of the Guanzhong clan, but you can't rely too much on them, let alone take their words seriously, otherwise you will suffer the consequences sooner or later."
"Think about it yourself."
Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng indifferently.
Qin Luoheng was stunned.
Then he became thoughtful.
Zuo Yi said:
"I understand."
"I will not be affected by them."
"In my eyes, I only have Da Qin and Your Majesty, and nothing else."
"I know very well that there is no free closeness in this world. In fact, I have always intended to keep a certain distance from the Guanzhong clan. I just don't want the Guanzhong clan to feel that I am too dependent on them, so that I will fall into a certain passivity."
“The one who takes advantage of you is short-handed and the one who eats you is soft-spoken.”
"I still understand this truth."
"What nonsense." Ying Zheng frowned, and then ordered: "There are some memorials on the case. You can go and take a look. They were submitted by county guards from various places in Shandong recently."
Qin Luoheng looked hesitant.
Finally, he bowed to Ying Zheng and went to the big case. He turned sideways and opened the memorials. After reading the memorials submitted by the county guards from various places, his expression could not help but change.
The governor of Julu County has been evacuated. Recently, nearly a thousand corvees have fled in Zhao. The governors of Wei and Liaoxi counties have been evacuated. Recently, some people are planning to attack Qin officials. All this is enough to show that the six places in Shandong have already
It's becoming more and more unstable.
Ying Zheng said indifferently:
"The chaos in southern Xinjiang actually has little impact on the six regions of Shandong, because there are already signs of chaos in the area, and it seems to be getting worse. Originally, I intended to restrict the nobles of the six countries to Xianyang, but because of this incident,
All these sources of chaos have escaped."
"The incidents in Julu, Shangjun, and Liaoxi counties this time may not be without the presence of these people."
"They may want to use this to disturb the court's sight so that they can escape safely. Although I understand it, I have to pay attention to it at this time."
"It is no longer possible to have peace in the world!"
Qin Luoheng's eyes were full of worry and he asked worriedly: "What does your Majesty want?"
The words just fell.
Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng indifferently. Qin Luoheng stood there, looking very embarrassed and embarrassed. In the past, the First Emperor asked the courtiers for advice, but this time he spoke subconsciously and asked the First Emperor for advice. This time
It really goes too far.
Qin Luoheng lowered his head and said uneasily: "I...I was incoherent for a moment. Please forgive me. I never meant any offense."
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze.
He said indifferently:
"Now there are hidden troubles breaking out in southern Xinjiang. There are also troubles happening in Wei, Zhao, and Yan. Although the situation has not developed to this point, the court must be on guard, and I have to be careful. Trouble cannot occur in the northern and southern frontiers of Qin at the same time.
, otherwise the restoration forces will surely make a big move."
"Great Qin cannot be in chaos!"
"Right now, Meng Tian is stationed in northern Xinjiang to confront the Huns. If something happens to Shangjun, Liaoxi County and other northern Xinjiang counties, the northern army may face a shortage of food and grass. When the Huns take the opportunity to move south again, the imperial army may be suspected of defeat."
"I want to patrol the northern land and personally suppress the restoration!"
