"Qin is our Qin, and it is also your Majesty's Qin."
Gan Luo's eyes flashed with cold lightning, and he scanned the heads of the aristocratic families as if they were actually there.
"Luo advises you not to make mistakes on your own."
After that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
All the heads of the aristocratic families looked at each other and asked each other why Shang Qing was so angry.
Cai Ze was also asking, the old man has been doing this kind of thing for almost his whole life, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.
Gan Luo knew what the First Emperor meant, and the establishment of Xianyang Academy was to defeat a number of aristocratic families.
Your family is not the only one who can use it in my hands. You can continue to resign and give it a try.
This is not a court discussion, and you can express different opinions. At this time, no one dared to stand against the First Emperor, not even Gan Luo.
The heads of the Xianyang family also knew what the First Emperor meant, but they pretended not to know. They did not dare to stand against the First Emperor, but they dared to stand behind Gan Luo.
Defeated, Gan Luo died.
It’s done, everyone benefits.
All they have to pay is a useless face.
The banquet ended unhappy.
Tsunade-kun returned home, picked up paper and pen, and wrote down everything that happened at today's banquet. He stood completely from the perspective of a bystander and only described the specific events without adding any personal opinions.
In the evening, the First Emperor returned to Zhangtai Palace.
Zhang Han, the doctor who was ordered to form a secret guard to protect the safety of the First Emperor, grabbed the letter with both hands and handed it to the First Emperor.
The First Emperor waved his hand to Zhang Han to leave without even looking at the forbidden letter.
"Send it to that guy."
"only."
Ying Chengyu asked Cai Ze to monitor every move of the Xianyang family and report on time. Cai Ze did so, but added an extra step. He submitted the written letter to the First Emperor, who sent it to Ying Chengyu.
This month, Cai Ze has sent seven letters, but the First Emperor has not read any of them. The First Emperor is not very interested in what the family does.
It was not the First Emperor himself who took the initiative to be the transfer station, but Cai Ze, who kept kowtowing and pleading for orders, begging the First Emperor to be the one.
The steady Cai Ze outlasted Bai Qi, Fan Ju, and a whole bunch of his peers, all because of his stubbornness. Gang Chengjun would not do anything out of the ordinary.
"How has Hu Hai been learning from you recently? How has he learned the art of punishment and prison?"
The First Emperor asked casually.
"Your Majesty, the Eighteenth Young Master is very talented and making rapid progress."
Zhao Gao replied respectfully.
"Oh, that boy is actually willing to learn? Zhao Gao, aren't you deceiving me?"
In the impression of the First Emperor, his youngest son only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and he was good at catching bugs. He was almost the same as reading and literacy.
Because Empress Afang had no heirs, the First Emperor preferred her, so the princes were required to be raised by the empress and educated by Afang when they were young. In this way, no matter which prince succeeded to the throne, the status of Afang who had nurtured him would be guaranteed.
.
But the eighteenth young master Ying Huhai was an exception. Ying Huhai always had sex at the knees of his mother and concubine.
It wasn't that Ying Huhai's mother-in-law was powerful, but Queen Afang gave up education because Ying Huhai was too playful.
Zhao Gao said with a panic look on his face:
"How dare I deceive Your Majesty?"
"I'm just joking with you. In that case, let's go and have a look."
On a whim, the First Emperor happily led the two guardians Gai Nie and Zhao Gao straight to the palace of Hu Hai's biological mother Hu Ji.
Outside Hu Ji's bedroom.
A palace maid saw a group of more than sixty officials marching straight towards this direction from a distance. She was first surprised, and then overjoyed.
Xianyang Palace has a strict system, and only the First Emperor can be surrounded by three teams of officials.
She hurriedly turned around and entered the palace to report to Hu Ji.
Concubine Hu had a beautiful appearance and graceful figure. Her most striking feature was her slender waist that could be grasped with both hands.
Hearing the middle of what the palace maid said, her pretty face turned cold immediately when she heard the words "Your Majesty is here."
"What is he here for?"
"Concubine, please don't..."
"I'm sick and can't see you."
Concubine Hu raised her sleeves and returned to the bedroom from the front hall with a cold face, refusing to listen to the persuasion from the palace maid behind her.
The maid had no choice but to turn around and go out, waiting in front of the palace door. Soon she saw the First Emperor.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
The First Emperor did not respond. Not everyone's greeting was worthy of his response.
Zhao Gao stepped forward and pushed the door open.
The palace maid didn't dare to stop her, but she had to obey Concubine Hu's order. So she lowered her head and said in panic at a very fast speed:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hu is ill and should not be exposed to the wind."
Zhao Gao stopped, his hand was only a millimeter away from the door.
After waiting for a while, he heard no orders from the First Emperor. He gently opened the palace door and led the First Emperor inside, leaving behind.
When the First Emperor walked past him and entered the palace, Zhao Gao looked so humble that he made a palm with his hand and suddenly patted the palace maid on the head.
If this palm lands on the right place, the palace maid will die. Not to mention the palace maids who have no martial arts skills, even martial arts masters will be slapped on the head by Zhao Gao, and not many can survive.
Genie, who was following the First Emperor, raised his sword eyebrows, drew his sword and stopped in front of the palace maid, looking at the crazy licking dog unkindly.
"What to do?"
This question was not asked by Gai Nie, but by Zhao Gao who stopped in time.
Miyamoto, who had almost died just now, was standing behind Ganie. He didn't understand why the two personal guards around His Majesty seemed to be fighting. He lowered his head and looked at the tips of his shoes without daring to speak.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao kills people indiscriminately."
Gai Nie kept his eyes on Zhao Gao and his voice was neither high nor low.
The First Emperor was originally in a bad mood for being shut out, but he was amused by Ge Nie's complaint.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Gao who was speechless and asked with a smile:
"Zhao Gao, why do you kill people indiscriminately?"
Zhao Gao turned around to face the First Emperor, lowered his head, raised his hands, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hu's breathing is well-proportioned, her vitality is strong, her body is not weak, her spirit is intact, and she shows no signs of illness. This woman dares to deceive Your Majesty, so I will kill her."
Pause briefly.
"I don't know why Mr. Gai blocked it. Could it be that he thought it was not a big deal to deceive His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"
After realizing it later, the palace maid who walked around the Palace of Hell realized what she was doing. She knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, her forehead was broken and bleeding.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gai Nie’s face was expressionless.
"Your Majesty did not say anything about killing people."
Amidst the series of pleadings from the palace maids, the First Emperor smiled and said:
"Haha, Gai Nie, kill her."
Ge Nie turned his head and stared at the First Emperor for a few breaths.
During these few breaths, the maid's kowtows became louder and louder, and her cries became louder and louder. She kept repeating words such as "I know my fault, I will never dare to do it again, and I beg Your Majesty to spare me."
The blood on his forehead splashed onto Gai Nie's white clothes, turning red instantly and spreading out from a small dot, which was very conspicuous.
"only."
He raised his sword and dropped it.
The long sword pierces the chest.
The palace maid was stabbed in the heart, but Gai Nie's heart was shattered by Gai Nie's internal force, and she died instantly. She fell down with infinite regret. Her head first hit Gai Nie's thigh, and finally hit Gai Nie's shoes and Gai Nie's white robe.
A large stain of blood was left behind.
"The clothes are dirty, go back and change them."
The First Emperor ordered and walked towards the interior of the palace, Zhao Gao followed with small steps.
The sword master did not respond to the first emperor's words. He drew his sword numbly and returned it to its sheath. He raised the right hand that he had used to stab the palace maid with the sword. The sword master's right hand was trembling all the time.
He held the wrist of his right hand vigorously with his left hand, finally making his right hand stop shaking. But he could hold the trembling hand, but what about the trembling heart?
The sword master gasped for several breaths. He was even more tired than fighting with Lu Goujian, the former best swordsman in the world. He turned his head and wanted to see what the palace maid he stabbed to death looked like. He had not taken a serious look at the palace maid's appearance.
.
But the ground was empty, and even the blood stains had disappeared, leaving only a colorless wet mark that had not yet dried.
Just when he calmed down, the eunuchs with quick hands and feet worked together to not only drag away the body of the palace maid, but also clean up all the blood stains.
This isn't the first time they've done this, practice makes perfect.
Gai Nie covered his head and was short of breath. He was in pain.
He knew why the First Emperor wanted to kill the palace maid, and he also understood. With the situation at this point, if he didn't kill her today, wouldn't everyone dare to bully the emperor in the future?
Genie understood everything, but he was still in pain. This was not the king he wanted.
"What are you doing?!"
The angry Concubine Hu is still beautiful.
She made no secret of the hatred in her eyes. She looked at the First Emperor not like she was looking at her husband, but like she was looking at the enemy who killed her father. The First Emperor was her father-killer and enemy.
Hu Ji was a princess of the Chu State. Wang Jian's army was ordered by the First Emperor to destroy the Chu State, killed Hu Concubine's father, the King of Chu, and kidnapped Hu Ji from the capital of Ying to Xianyang.
The First Emperor destroyed Hu Ji's country, destroyed Hu Ji's family, killed Hu Ji's father and mother, and brought Hu Ji into the harem as his concubine.
"Where's Hu Hai?"
The First Emperor looked calm, with a smile on his face, and asked naturally. It was as if he didn't see the hatred in Hu Ji's eyes, and heard the unwelcomeness in Hu Ji's words.
"In the side hall."
Concubine Hu pointed to the door of the bedroom.
"Get out and find your son."
The First Emperor looked at the angry Concubine Hu, raised his right hand and waved it back.
Zhao Gao understood immediately, lowered his head and backed out of the dormitory, and closed the dormitory door.
In the unclosed gap between the bedroom door, one could see Concubine Hu getting up from the red gauze and green silk rosewood bed in shock and anger. One could see the First Emperor pounced on Concubine Hu like a ferocious beast, and threw Concubine Hu down on the bed.
"Qin Gou! God damn Ying Zheng! Don't touch me! Get out!"
The closed palace door blocked most of the sounds, but the wooden palace door could not block all the sounds.
The sounds of clothes tearing, women screaming, beds creaking, and the violent collision of skins kept coming.
Zhao Gao, who was guarding outside the dormitory with his back against the palace gate, listened to all the sounds, his waist hunched, his face full of humility.
The wind has stopped and the rain has stopped.
Concubine Hu's hair was disheveled, her face was stained with tears, she was holding a brocade quilt, her snow-white shoulders were exposed, and she yelled at the neatly dressed First Emperor:
"Beast! Qin Gou! Why don't you die!"
The First Emperor ignored him, put on his clothes, straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, opened the palace door and went to the side hall to look for his son.
As soon as the First Emperor left, Concubine Hu's strength suddenly drained away, and she slumped down on the bed, closed her eyes and cried silently.
She hated the First Emperor. If she could kill the First Emperor, she would not hesitate at all, but she did not have the ability.
Give her a long sword made of fine steel in her hand, and even if her fingers are not touched by spring water, she will not be able to hurt the unarmed First Emperor. The First Emperor's martial arts is not high compared to Ying Chengyu, and for ordinary people, such as Concubine Hu, the First Emperor's
His martial arts skills are extremely high.
She was kidnapped from the Chu State and had no influence at all in the Qin State. The relatives of Chu State all stood behind the Chu Concubine who was born and raised in the Qin State. For her, who was born and raised in the Chu State, such as
The fake princess of Chu has always been ignored.
She didn't love the First Emperor, and she knew that the First Emperor didn't love her either.
Born in the palace, she was used to intrigues and checks and balances through marriage. She knew very well that the First Emperor accepted her as his concubine in order to give the old forces of the Chu Kingdom something to look forward to and a reason to convince themselves not to take revenge.
Of course, this must also be due to her beautiful appearance. She had many sisters, but the First Emperor only accepted her as his concubine, and the others were abandoned in the Sixth Palace.
When she was in Chu, she was happy for her beauty. After entering Qin, she really hated her face. If she were not born so beautiful, she should be in the Chu palace among the six palaces now. Although it is also a prison, she will not be captured by heaven.
The killed Ying Zheng was riding underneath him.
She thought about committing suicide after being seized by the First Emperor, but the reason why she didn't do it in the end was because she had figured it out. If she died, the First Emperor would find another one of her sisters to be his concubine, and the First Emperor would not lack her as a concubine.
concubine.
When she was in Chu State, she was not actually very close to her sisters who were also princesses, and many of them were very hostile and tit-for-tat.
But after the fall of the Chu State, in the face of the hatred of the country and the family, Concubine Hu, the princess of the subjugated country, did not want her sister to be defiled by the Qin dog.
"Zhao Gao, if you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!"
Concubine Hu's eyes burst into bone-deep hatred.
Under the brocade quilt, her smooth body, as white as milk, had several conspicuous red marks and bruises, which were newly added.
In Xianyang Palace, the number of eunuchs and maids in Concubine Hu’s bedroom was one of the fewest among the concubines.
The princess of the subjugated country, who had no power to support her, treated the First Emperor with cold eyes and hatred, and gave up the favor of the First Emperor. In the playground of the harem, Queen Afang would not be used to it.
Refusal to educate Ying Huhai is Afang's response. Every child is playful when they are young, so why was Ying Huhai alone refused to be educated by Afang?
After the exchange, Afang used his actions to talk to Concubine Hu - your son will not inherit the throne.
"Hu Hai, what are you doing?"
The First Emperor kept a straight face and maintained the dignity of a strict father.
The First Emperor had no prejudice against Ying Huhai and did not discriminate against his eighteen sons because his mother and concubine were Hu Ji.
When he came this time, the First Emperor was really interested in testing Ying Huhai's learning progress.
"Father, father, father?"
When the First Emperor came in, Ying Huhai was lying on the ground with his little butt stuck out, holding a piece of grass in his hand, and kept teasing the two worms in the jar, making the two worms fight each other.
This is Ying Huhai's favorite game. He looks very focused. He likes to watch bugs biting each other the most. The bitten legs made him move away, so he didn't notice his father entering.
He was startled by the First Emperor's call. When he looked up and saw his father's face, he squeaked, hurriedly threw away the grass in his hands, and stood up in embarrassment.
When the First Emperor saw Ying Huhai's appearance, he was immediately unhappy. He was so cowardly.
