Hu Hai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then how do we pass the news to my eldest brother?"
Zhao Gao bowed and said: "This matter is not urgent for the time being. We must wait until the Mo Bao matter is resolved before we tell you. Otherwise, the Mo Bao matter may change."
Hu Hai frowned.
"Hasn't all the ink already been dedicated to the father?"
"What else can happen?"
Zhao Gao sighed lightly:
"Sir, you don't know something."
"The calligraphy treasure was indeed presented, but there was a hidden secret in it. The calligraphy treasure actually came from the Tenth Young Master. An engineer was jealous of the reward given by His Majesty, so he wanted to take the ink-making technology from the Tenth Young Master by force, but it has been stopped.
Already."
"And this calligraphy treasure is dedicated to His Majesty by me."
"If I don't resolve this matter first, I'm afraid I will give someone a handle on it."
"As for the news that the Tenth Young Master is alive, we are not in a hurry, and it is inconvenient for the Young Master and me to participate, otherwise it will be easy for the Eldest Young Master to notice our intentions. This matter does not need to be told to the Eldest Young Master personally. There are many supporters around the Eldest Young Master.
, just disclose it to anyone you want."
"But it's best to let the Confucians spread the word!"
"Confucianism has never been favored by Your Majesty, and Confucianism has become too rampant in recent years. It has repeatedly criticized Your Majesty in public. If His Majesty knew that they were the ones who revealed the affairs of the Tenth Young Master, he would definitely be even more disgusted with them."
"By association."
"It will also affect the image of the eldest son."
"Besides."
"Confucianism has never been restless."
"They currently support the eldest son one-sidedly. If they learn that the tenth son is back, they will definitely feel uneasy. With the characters of Kong Kun and Zixiang, they will definitely test the tenth son's true identity and even take the initiative.
Provoke trouble."
"And that's exactly what we want to see."
Hu Hai nodded in understanding, "That's up to you."
Zhao Gao continued:
"I want you to send a message to Yu Shi De."
"Ask him to deal with the Gongshi ink stealing case tomorrow to shorten the process as much as possible and to close the case as quickly as possible. It is best to deal with the case before other censors can react."
Hu Hai raised his eyebrows.
said:
"I'm afraid this won't be easy."
"Da Qin has a set of established procedures for trial cases. How can it be so easy to conclude the case hastily? Moreover, this matter also involves Brother Ten, so I can't make the decision."
Hu Hai refused directly.
Zhao Gaodao:
"Sir, it is precisely because the Tenth Young Master is involved that we need to close the case quickly."
"Right now, the identity of the Tenth Young Master is not known to outsiders. If others find out, this case will definitely be closely monitored. By then, the officials of the Yushi Mansion will conduct a rigorous investigation, and the Young Master will probably be dragged into the water."
Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion.
Doubtfully said:
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Why am I being dragged down?"
Zhao Gao whispered:
"Because this engineer is Yan Le's subordinate, and I am Yan Le's maternal uncle, and my relationship with the young master is known to the world. It is inevitable that no one will blame the incident on the young master. By then, the Guanzhong clan will
Everyone will think that the Young Master is targeting the Tenth Young Master."
Hu Hai rolled his sleeves and shouted angrily:
"Nonsense."
"Why would I target Brother Ten?"
"I never knew about this from the beginning to the end."
Zhao Gao sneered:
"But they don't think so."
"Even if they know that the young master is not involved, they will pretend not to know. After all, the young master is now above the court, second only to the eldest son."
"The young master has the ability to become a prince. This is the biggest crime of the young master!"
"This sin..."
“Born with it!!!”
"You..." Hu Hai stared at Zhao Gao with his eyes wide open. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhao Gao raised his head and looked directly at Hu Hai.
He said coldly:
"Sir, you have no way out."
"The only thing you can do now is to keep a low profile as much as possible and never get involved in anything involving the eldest son and the tenth son easily. When the two of them fight to the point of losing both sides, the master will come forward again and completely reverse the situation."
Hu Hai looked horrified.
Trembling:
"Then what if I don't want to?"
Zhao Gao said coldly:
"Young Master, do you think Lord Changan really wanted to rebel back then?"
"He just had to fight back!"
"If the young master chooses to give up now, the fate of Lord Chang'an back then will be the fate of the young master in the future. The young master will even be worse than the young master of Chang'an."
"I watched the young master grow up."
"I will never do anything detrimental to the young master."
"It's just that this incident happened suddenly, and I really don't know where it will develop. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I can only plead with the young master to come forward and let Yu Shide close this case as soon as possible."
"Master, please be aware of this!"
Hu Hai trembled.
He was already frightened by what Zhao Gao said.
Seeing Hu Hai's panic, Zhao Gao had a cold look in his eyes.
He said in a deep voice:
"Sir, please make a decision quickly."
a long time.
Hu Hai sat down on the ground slumped and said feebly:
"It's all up to you."
"Just do what you say."
Zhao Gao nodded slightly.
"I accept my order."
"It's getting late. Master, please go back and rest."
"I will take my leave now."
Finished.
Zhao Gao bowed slightly and slowly retreated.
Inside the palace.
There was only one person left, Hu Hai.
Hu Hai sat on the ground, a little distracted.
Too much happened today.
His mind is very confused.
"Brother Ten is back, he is not dead, he is still alive."
"Originally, I didn't want to compete for the position of Crown Prince. The eldest brother is my elder brother and has much more power than me. I can't compete at all. Now that even the most powerful tenth brother has returned, how can I have a chance."
"Zhao Gao."
"You are clearly trying to harm me!"
Hu Hai couldn't help but curse a few times, and the look on his face darkened.
He was no longer sleepy.
He just sat there for the whole night.
the other side.
After Zhao Gao left the palace, he directly sent someone to send a message to Yu Shi De, still in the name of Hu Hai. Yan Le also waited at the gate of Supervisor Shi De early in the morning. When the door opened, he directly
I went in and reported it to the official.
As for two.
It has long been controlled.
Yan Le has already prepared the detailed information for verifying his identity, and he has also found several 'witnesses' who appeared at the city gate yesterday.
Everything is ready.
All he had to do was go directly to the jail and then read the sentence.
There is a court discussion today.
Zhao Gao was waiting outside Xianyang Palace.
He counted the time and thought of words.
Half an hour passed.
After the court meeting was over, Ying Zheng came to Xianyang Palace as usual.
The moment he saw Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao immediately bowed to the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Gao, bows down to you."
Ying Zheng frowned and said calmly: "Get up."
Zhao Gao did not get up, but said tremblingly:
"I don't dare."
Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao and said, "Don't you dare? Why don't you dare?"
Zhao Gao bowed and said:
"I am guilty!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me!!!"
