Chapter 355 Young Master, Nie knows why you dont become king anymore
The order of trains on the same track issued by the First Emperor has been issued for a long time, but it will take some time before it is fully implemented.
When Wang Chan left Handi, the distance between the two wheels of the carriage she was sitting on was more than a finger wider than the distance between the two ruts on the ground. If she didn't change the carriage and continue traveling, the ruts on the road would be damaged.
The local people didn't know who Guiguzi was, so they would make a fifth sarcoma on Wang Chan's forehead.
After buying a new carriage and spending several hundred dollars, Wang Chan and her young apprentice were back on the road.
The not-so-little apprentice scratched his white hair and happily drove the car towards a destination he didn't know.
Inside the newly replaced carriage carriage, Gui Guzi made some calculations on a whim, and suddenly his eyes widened.
"There are changes again!"
When night falls, the sky is full of stars. Guiguzi lifts the car curtain and looks up at the stars.
"The bad luck star next to Zi Wei is really gone."
When the old coachman heard the noise, he looked back at his teacher.
"Master, what happened?"
The car curtain was lowered and Guiguzi retracted into the car.
"Nothing, just catch your car."
"Master, where are we going?"
"Go find the Red Emperor."
…………
Zhangtai Palace.
The First Emperor sat in front of the empty table, his expression as usual.
There were two people standing in front of him, Gai Nie in white clothes, Zhang Han in skull armor, and Xia Wuju with a worried look on his face.
Gai Nie took a step forward and bowed his head.
"The trouble for Zhao Gao lies with Nie."
The First Emperor laughed.
"Your plea for guilt is false, but your request for reward is genuine. That's a common trick of the traitor. If you hadn't risked your life, I wouldn't have discovered this thief's ambition. After all, I will give you any reward you want."
Thump~
The sword master knelt on his knees and lowered his head.
On that paralyzed face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, there was regret visible to the naked eye.
"Before the Lord of Chang'an left, he asked Nie to keep an eye on Zhao Gao. If anything happened to the Eighteenth Young Master, it would be Zhao Gao who was causing harm to His Majesty. If necessary, he could be killed first and reported later.
"If I had not excused myself from illness, I could have captured Zhao Gao as early as the death of Concubine Hu, and there would have been no follow-up. The danger to the Eighteenth Young Master lies with Nie. The danger to Your Majesty also lies with Nie!"
Xia Wuji and Zhang Han were shocked. They involuntarily lowered their heads and glanced at Gai Nie. Then they quickly calmed down and stood still, looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.
With his elbows pressed on the table, the First Emperor said with great interest:
"Oh? When Shuzi told you, did you know that Zhao Gao was Teacher Hu Hai?"
"No, at that time His Majesty had not asked Zhao Gao to be the teacher of the Eighteenth Young Master."
"This is strange. Could it be that this Zhuzi has learned the art of Yin Yang and Taoism, and can pinch and count? He can only see that Zhao Gao has evil intentions. He even knew that Zhao Gao would make a fuss about Hu Hai. If he hadn't been my relative Brother, I almost think that Zhao Gao is under his instigation."
Zhang Han's originally half-bowed head was completely lowered.
Xia Wuji hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:
"I have a question, and I would like to clear up my confusion, Mr. Gai. Please allow me to speak this way, Your Majesty."
The First Emperor waved his hand.
"ask!"
Xia Wuqi's body tensed up and he looked at Genie, who was kneeling on the ground and was half a body shorter than him.
"How did Mr. Gai find out that the Eighteenth Young Master was abnormal?"
The First Emperor smiled and continued:
"I'm also curious. Zhang Han didn't see it, and neither did the doctors at the Imperial Medical Office. How did you see it? Could it be that your medical skills are comparable to Xia Wuji's?"
[Your Majesty actually suspected the young master. Damn it, Zhao Gao, he didn’t stop even after he died!]
Gai Nie gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"Nie didn't see it."
Xia Wuqie secretly took a step forward and was about to touch Ge Nie. There were two silver needles tucked between his sleeves and his fingers.
One inch is long and one is strong, one inch is short and one is dangerous.
At this distance, Gai Nie's long sword was greatly restricted and could not be used immediately, but Xia Wuji's silver needle was not affected.
Zhang Han, who had never dared to take a deep breath, retreated, placed his right hand on the Qin Sword at his waist, and pulled it to the optimal distance for using the Qin Sword. The vigorous internal energy in his body was about to come out, and his eyes were locked on Gai Nie.
"Mr. Gai's answer made Wuji ask another question."
The silver needle trembled in the hand, the tail buzzed, and it almost flew out of the finger.
"Since Mr. Gai didn't see it, how could he dare to say that if the Eighteenth Young Master was fine, he would be willing to pay for it with his life."
The edge is on my back, and I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles.
Martial arts are generally on the same level. Xia Wuji and Zhang Han can't hide their martial arts from the sword master at such a close distance.
Just as the sword master was about to speak, he suddenly heard a loud bang on the table.
"What are you two doing!"
The First Emperor angrily pointed at Xia Wuji and Zhang Han.
The two people who should have immediately bowed their heads and apologized to the First Emperor did not make any move.
Their breath has locked Gai Nie, and if Gai Nie makes any move, he will immediately attack. The two people's internal energy is surging. At this moment, they are like a balloon that has been blown to the extreme. The slightest movement will cause the energy to leak out.
"I'm talking about you two! Why are you staring at Gai Nie! Are you two suspicious of Gai Nie! If Gai Nie wants to kill me, can I still sit here at this moment? Do you think that what I said before was to test Gai Nie?
Huh? It’s just a joke!”
Zhang Han and Xia Wuji remained silent and remained tense.
Answering the First Emperor's words would be distracting.
Gai Nie was too close to the First Emperor. In front of a master like Gai Nie, if he was distracted for a moment, the First Emperor might be held hostage by him.
The First Emperor may have been joking, but they took it seriously. This is not impossible.
"Nie thanks your majesty for your trust, but please don't trust others too easily. Your majesty trusted Zhao Gao so much before, so you can use this excuse to silence Lord Chang'an."
Ge Nie said bluntly, the First Emperor's face was a little stiff.
"Chang'an Jun and Nie said that all the unreasonable things that happen around the Eighteenth Young Master are related to Zhao Gao. The Eighteenth Young Master can understand several laws and regulations in just a few days and complain of a headache. This is abnormal enough."
Xia Wuji and Zhang Han listened to Gai Nie's explanation, but their faces did not soften at all.
Zhang Han said in a deep voice:
"You dare to gamble with your life based on just one word from Lord Chang'an?"
The First Emperor stood up and walked around from behind the table.
Zhang Han and Xia Wuqie's hearts were in their throats and their spirits were extremely tense. The First Emperor was getting closer to Ge Nie.
Pulling up Gai Nie, the First Emperor chuckled and said:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You asked me not to trust you too much, but you trust that person so much. How is this evil?"
The two sharp edges on his back disappeared, and Gai Nie's spirit suddenly relaxed.
Xia Wuji showed his hands, and there were no silver needles between his fingers.
Zhang Han put on his armor and moved forward, releasing the hilt of his sword. The originally dry hilt was stained with sweat.
If Gai Nie had a plot, this was the best time to take action - they had no way to save the life of the First Emperor when the two were in direct contact.
Genie still did not make a surprise attack under such circumstances, winning three points of their trust.
"Your Majesty is the king."
The First Emperor's smile froze.
[King, can’t you completely trust others?]
Genie looked at the First Emperor pitifully.
[Master, Nie knows why you don’t become king anymore...]
…
That night, the First Emperor stayed overnight in the palace of Concubine Chu.
The next day, the sky was bright.
On the big rosewood bed, the First Emperor and Concubine Chu were sleeping in each other's arms, neither of them getting up.
A palace maid ran to the window in small steps and reported through the curtain:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chu, the queen is here."
"Um."
The First Emperor responded without giving any instructions.
The palace maid lowered her head slightly and backed away from the bed.
Not long after, the door of Concubine Chu's bedroom opened wide.
Afang entered, led by the palace maid, to the bedroom where the First Emperor and Concubine Chu rested, and pushed the door open.
In the palace, Concubine Chu and the First Emperor were only wearing obscene clothes.
Concubine Chu sat back on the bed and said dissatisfiedly:
"What are you doing here?"
"Come and apologize."
The queen walked up to Concubine Chu, full of joy, and said softly:
"My insistence on going my own way has led to great disaster and put Your Majesty in danger. If it weren't for you, His Majesty's safety would be unpredictable."
Concubine Chu waved her hands.
"It's all for my man, I forgive you."
The First Emperor lay on his side on the bed, smiling and watching the two women talking, looking very happy.
"This matter cannot be forgiven."
Afang fell to his knees with a thud.
"A Fang has three sins!
"The first sin is that I am a queen but have no heirs. I am not a mother, so why should I honor the world as a mother? This is the crime of not having an heir!
"The second crime is that my uncle is Your Majesty's brother, but I have repeatedly done harm to him. This is a crime that is detrimental to the clan!
"The third crime is Zhao Gao's arrogant ambition. I allowed him to act and almost caused serious trouble. This is a crime of ignorance!
"How can a sinner like me continue to be the queen? Your Majesty, please depose the queen and make Mi Chu the queen!"
The First Emperor's reaction was half a beat too slow.
Concubine Chu chuckled and said simply and neatly:
"improper."
He easily pulled up the kneeling Afang.
After using Lilong, Afang became an ordinary person, unable to fight back in front of Concubine Chu.
Tears fell from A Fang's eyes.
"But you want to put on a show for Afang?"
Concubine Chu wiped it off impatiently and spread it all over Afang's silk clothes.
"Cry, cry, cry, what's the point of crying? Why do you, a Zhao person, look so unlike a Zhao person?
"What does it matter if you show off or not? The crown prince's position has been decided. Even if I become the queen, I can't appoint a general as the prince. What should I do as a queen?"
The First Emperor stood up and said with a smile:
"You really dare to say that.
"If you can't be the second emperor of Qin, it's not bad to be the king of the Xiongnu. News has come from the northwest. The general won a great victory all the way and beheaded more than 20,000 Xiongnu."
He looked at A Fang again.
"Don't ever mention such words again. While I'm on patrol, you're here to supervise the country. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be at ease."
Concubine Chu snorted coldly.
Afang wanted to say something more, but Concubine Chu, who was dissatisfied, reached out to cover her mouth.
"Stop chattering!"
The next few days were uneventful.
The death of a Jiuqing did not stir up any splash in the Great Qin Empire, as if Zhao Gao did not exist in the first place.
News of Zhao Gao's death never came out at all.
The Order of the Car Mansion commanded a group of charioteers in Xianyang Palace and was responsible for driving for the First Emperor.
The commander of the Jingshifang was responsible for protecting the safety of the First Emperor during his sprint.
Zhao Gao's duties had little overlap with other ministers. As long as the First Emperor did not give the order, it would take some time for the ministers to know the news.
Yongdi.
Green mountains, green water, and beauties who are no longer enchanting.
Zhao Ji was dressed in a black outfit, with no makeup on her face, her hair was flying, showing her heroic spirit, and she was galloping on the wilderness on a tall horse.
Compared with before, Zhao Ji, who is less charming, has lost most of her color in the eyes of men. But in Zhao Ji's own eyes, she is simply beautiful like this.
She likes to gallop, like to indulge, and likes freedom, which are the characteristics of Zhao people.
I don't like to rely on beauty to entertain people like ordinary women.
Using the strength of the stirrups, he stood up from the saddle, threw his legs back and jumped down, landing firmly on the ground.
Throwing off the reins wrapped in coarse linen, he crossed his fingers and pressed back and forth to relieve the numbness that was bleeding.
The maid who took the reins of the horse came forward.
"Your Majesty is waiting for the Queen Mother."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Your Majesty, please do not disturb the Queen Mother's pleasure."
Zhao Ji smiled widely and followed the maid's fingers to see her son standing with his hands behind his back.
"Zhao Gao is dead."
The First Emperor poured a bottle of wine for his mother, then poured another bottle for himself, and said softly.
After finishing speaking, he picked up his bottle of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Ji, who had always liked spirits, did not raise the bottle with her son and snatched the bottle from the hands of the First Emperor.
"This wine is brewed by the Zhuzi. It is very strong. If you don't like wine, don't waste it."
The First Emperor did not like drinking.
After drinking it down in one gulp, the wine was very pungent in her throat, and Zhao Ji let out a sigh of relief.
"If you die, then you will die. Did Zhuzi kill him? He wanted to kill Zhao Gao for a day or two."
Zhao Ji reached for the bottle in front of her.
The First Emperor said softly:
"I killed him."
Zhao Ji grabbed the wine bottle but did not pick it up. Zhao Ji said calmly:
"What did Zhao Gao do, rebel?"
"My mother's behavior is different from what I thought."
The First Emperor turned his head to observe his mother's expression.
"It's a bit dull."
Zhao Ji picked up the wine bottle and drank another bottle of wine.
"A castrated person has a mutilated body and more intense desires than ordinary people. I once tried my best to do something to Zhao Gao, but he didn't respond. I knew that he had great intentions. But he never went out of his way in doing things, and he did his best to you.
.Jianzhi kept staring at him, so I didn’t pay much attention to him. Why, did you come here today because you suspected that Zhao Gao was being instigated by my mother?”
"No. Zhao Gao has always been in close contact with my mother. I am afraid that my mother will be sad when she knows the news of his death."
As the First Emperor spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and continued to pour wine, first filling Zhao Ji's wine bottle, and then his own.
"Why am I enjoying drinking alone? I am accompanying my mother."
Zhao Ji covered the mouth of the wine bottle with her hand.
"Don't be in a hurry while drinking. First tell me what Zhao Gao did and I want you to kill him with your own hands."
The First Emperor nodded and told his mother all the details, from the death of Concubine Hu to the death of Zhao Gao.
"Deserves to be killed!"
Zhao Ji was furious.
The First Emperor wanted to lift the wine bottle, but the hand that picked up the wine bottle used a little force and could not lift it.
Zhao Ji held the wine bottle tightly.
The First Emperor sighed.
"After you finish talking, you still don't want to drink?"
"How do you feel about such a person?"
"I didn't."
"You are the meat that fell off my mother's body. You can't hide it from my mother. You haven't liked drinking since you were a child, and you never drink too much even on major festivals. Zheng'er, don't trust someone too much. In the end, you will hurt yourself.
. Zhao Gao today, Ying Chengxiao tomorrow."
The First Emperor laughed.
"My mother is worried. I am just afraid that my mother will be lonely. How can I feel sad for a thief who wants to kill me and destroy my country? As for Cheng Yu, I have expelled him to Han. Mother
Don't worry."
"It'd better be that way."
Zhao Ji drank by herself.
"I have one more thing to do here today. I will imitate the holy kings Yao, Shun, and Yutang and tour the world to see the great country of Qin. Do you want to come with me, mother?"
