In the Zhangtai Palace, Gai Nie and Zhao Gao were ready to move and were observing Ying Chengyu with all their attention.
With their martial arts skills, under such observation, they could monitor Ying Chengyu's heartbeat, breathing, pulse and other changes.
If there is anything strange about Ying Chengyu, or if there is any abnormal movement, the two of them will immediately wake up the First Emperor and investigate.
Ying Chengyu's heartbeat was beating fast, and his expression did not change, but he had strange movements.
He slapped Zhao Gao on the head.
There is indeed something unusual about this imperial edict!
Zhao Gao had already been prepared and immediately retreated into the side hall. His legs moved so fast that he looked like a phantom.
One moment he was standing next to Ying Chengyu holding the memorial, and the next moment he was at the door of the side hall.
He was about to shout loudly when he suddenly realized that while Gai Nie had not moved, Ying Chengyu did not pursue him to stop him.
Seeing that Ying Chengyu had no follow-up action, Zhao Gao's expression changed slightly as he recalled the slap Ying Chengyu had just given.
That slap just now didn't have much power...
"Go in, what are you doing standing there?" Ying Chengqiao said with a half-smile.
"I don't dare." Zhao Gao bowed his head and answered respectfully.
The dark red wooden door frame of the side hall was right in front of him, within reach, but Zhao Gao did not dare to push it open again and re-enter the side hall.
"This is indeed not written by the Imperial Brother, but by me. Push the door open, wake up the Imperial Brother, and tell him that I wrote an imperial edict while he was sleeping." Ying Chengxuan told the truth.
"I have no such idea." Zhao Gao's attitude became more and more humble.
"Hmph, remember to re-write the imperial edict before sending it out. Watch him, Genie. The emperor sent it before he woke up after dawn. I went back to sleep."
Ying Chengyu snorted coldly and naturally divided the work between the two of them. He yawned and opened the gate of Zhangtai Palace and left.
As long as no one disturbs him, the emperor will not wake up before noon. When the emperor wakes up, it will be a done deal.
Ge Nie and Zhao Gao did not stop him.
Many of the imperial edicts of the First Emperor were not written by himself. They were all written by others. A few days ago, Gai Nie even sealed himself.
Ying Chengyu acted so confidently and unabashedly that Gai Nie and Zhao Gao automatically thought that he was ghostwriting for the First Emperor.
After Ying Chengyu left, the two looked at each other and did not mention the matter of calling the First Emperor to verify the authenticity.
Zhao Gao didn't dare.
Gainie is not necessary.
Zhao Gao walked to the desk and spread the imperial edict handed to him by Ying Chengyu on top of the desk. He spread out a blank bamboo slip and placed it under the desk.
Skillfully find the inkstone, add dry ink, pour in clean water, and grind it for a while. Then pick up the brush, dip the tip of the brush in ink, and carefully copy the blank imperial edict according to the imperial edict written by Ying Chengyu.
During this period, Ge Nie had been standing behind Zhao Gao, watching Zhao Gao do what he did.
"Wrong copy." Gai Nie suddenly said.
"What's the mistake?" Zhao Gao questioned.
Gai Nie pointed to the words in the imperial edict written by Ying Chengxuan, "I have learned from this pain, all of you", and also pointed to the words written by Zhao Gaogang, "I have thought about it again and again, all gentlemen."
Gai Nie said nothing and looked at Zhao Gao expressionlessly.
But the meaning is very clear in his eyes - see if you copied it wrong.
Zhao Gao looked at the differences between the two imperial edicts, then looked at Gai Nie's eyes, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty wrote the four words 'learn from the pain', probably thinking of the "Book of Expelling Guests" he wrote originally, which expelled all non-Qin people.
It was a disaster that almost overthrew the Qin Dynasty. If you want all the public to know about these sentiments, wouldn't it shake your majesty's prestige? Gao Gai thought again and again, and it has not changed your majesty's intention to attach importance to the princes in the court, and it will not damage your majesty's prestige. What's wrong?
Yes? According to your wishes, how can I change it?"
"Change? Why change it? Just copy it as your Majesty writes it." Gai Nie said matter-of-factly.
Zhao Gao was stunned and looked at Gai Nie in disbelief.
"When you were doing the work of issuing seals and talismans and copying the imperial edict for His Majesty, you didn't change a single word?"
"Of course."
The imperial edict was written by His Majesty. I am only responsible for copying it. What should I do to change it?
Gai Nie found Zhao Gao's question puzzling.
Zhao Gao:???
He felt that the position he held as the Seal and Talisman Officer and that of Gai Nedang, the Seal and Talisman Officer, were not the same official position at all!
"Then what's the point of your seal order? Just copy the imperial edict and stamp it. Your Majesty won't care about it?"
Gai Nie thought carefully and said, "Is Your Majesty lazy?"
Zhao Gao:???
The brush in his hand broke into two pieces with a "squeak", and the tip of the brush rolled around on the newly spread bamboo slips, staining it with scattered ink stains, which was very similar to Zhao Gao's current mood.
You god of plague, if you want to die, don’t take me with you!
Gai Nie glanced at the stacked thick bamboo slips that were taller than him, and felt that the reason he just gave seemed inappropriate.
So he fell into thinking again under Zhao Gao's frightened eyes.
"No, no need to say it..."
Before Zhao Gao could finish his words to stop him, Gai Nie's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty, your words are not beautiful?"
Zhao Gao:???
He dropped his hand, cut off his pen, rushed up to Gai Nie, and tried to cover Gai Nie's mouth.
What are you talking about, you god of plague? Every time you talk nonsense, I am the one who ends up unlucky.
Gai Nie moved his body back, the sword on his waist trembled slightly, his sword energy was ready to attack, and his unparalleled sword intent was locked on Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao saw that Gai Nie had an attitude of fighting if he came over again, so he hurriedly stopped.
He is not afraid of Gai Nie, but he also does not want to have a fight with Gai Nie in Zhangtai Palace.
Gai Nie stared at Zhao Gao warily and said, "What are you doing? You are tampering with the imperial edict and have evil intentions. Do you want to kill Nie to silence him?"
What did I tamper with? This is what the Xing Xi Talisman Order was originally for! It was you who did the Xing Xi Talisman Order wrong!
"The reason why I have the official position of Xingshifu Lingshi is to polish the writing for Your Majesty without changing the meaning of the imperial edict. Your Majesty is very concerned about the world, and there may be some shortcomings when writing the imperial edict. This requires
The seal and talisman will be revised and pointed out when copying the imperial edict to maintain His Majesty’s prestige.”
"After the transcription is completed, it will be reviewed by Your Majesty. It will be issued only after His Majesty's approval. Chang'an Jun wants you to watch Gao. He wants you to supervise Gao not to tamper with the meaning of the imperial edict, but not to ask Gao not to change a single word. Do you understand what Gao said?
Already?"
Gai Nie looked at Zhao Gao dubiously and said, "Has the Qin Code been written?"
How could such a thing be written in the Qin Code?
Doesn't that mean that His Majesty will also have bad thoughts?
Doesn't that damage His Majesty's prestige?
Zhao Gao took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said, "Not yet."
Gai Nie nodded expressionlessly and said, "Since the Qin Code has not been written, you are not allowed to change a single word."
Zhao Gao was stunned. At this moment, he really wanted to fight Ge Nie for 300 rounds in Zhangtai Palace!
How could there be such a person?
Zhao Gao was furious and put away the bamboo slips stained with ink and the brush that broke into two pieces.
Gai Nie looked on and said: "It's a waste. There are not many ink stains. You can just scrape them off with a knife and it won't affect the writing."
Zhao Gao's body trembled again. He resisted the urge to fight with Gai Nie. He found a new brush and a blank bamboo slip with a sullen face, and dipped the brush in ink.
Then he handed the brush to Gai Nie and said angrily with a sullen face and hint of anger: "Here you go! You write!"
Gai Nie looked at Zhao Gao strangely. First, he wondered why Zhao Gao was so angry, and second, he wondered why Zhao Gao asked him to write it.
He stared at the brush twice and did not pick it up. He said matter-of-factly: "What Chang'an Jun said is that Nie should watch you. You write, Nie watches, and Nie doesn't write."
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and said, "Then, don't you want more words? Is that okay?"
Gai Nie said calmly: "No, Nie will look at you. If you write something wrong, Nie will tell you."
Zhao Gao's face was red, his ears were red, and his energy was piercing the sky.
He was going crazy, he felt like he was going to suffer from madness.
After taking a rest, I must go and have a look at Xia Wuji!
Zhao Gao took deep breaths, his chest rising and falling violently for more than a dozen times, and said to Ge Nie with his last patience: "Do you remember what Lord Chang'an said before your Majesty woke up after dawn?"
Gai Nie nodded, he did remember this.
"What Chang'an Jun said is to ask Your Majesty to see whether the imperial edict written by Gao can be issued. If Gao copied the imperial edict written by Your Majesty without moving a word, why should Your Majesty read it again?"
"Mr. Chang'an was afraid that you would tamper with the imperial edict, and you did."
"Gao said it! Repair the imperial edict! This is the responsibility of the seal! If it is according to what you said, then what does Changan Jun mean by asking you to look at Gao? In your eyes, Gao copied every word without changing a word.
, why should we leave it to His Majesty for inspection?"
"Mr. Chang'an is afraid that you and I will collude to tamper with the imperial edict."
Zhao Gao:......
Not only did Gai Nie not trust him, Gai Nie didn't even trust himself...
Looking at Gai Nie's expressionless face, Zhao Gao became angrier and more disgusted. He really wanted to punch Gai Nie's face to pieces.
He felt that Genie could say anything just because of his paralyzed face.
Zhao Gao suppressed his anger and thought about what Gai Nie had said, and found that there were no loopholes in what Gai Nie had imagined and the logic was correct, so Zhao Gao became even more angry.
I can't just copy it word for word and then send it out. His Majesty will be furious when he wakes up.
"Gai Nie, don't mess around with Gao Hu and delay the imperial edict to issue important matters. Neither you nor I can escape the responsibility."
Gai Nie felt very strange.
It's obvious that you want to tamper with the imperial edict, but you accuse me of being messy? When Your Majesty is awake, you are a licker, and when Your Majesty is asleep, you are a traitor.
No wonder the young master has been on guard against testing you. There is indeed something wrong with you. The young master is really good at judging people.
He said nothing, had no expression on his face, and looked at Zhao Gao with a look like "With Nie here, you can't even think of making any small moves."
Zhao Gao couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily in a suppressed voice: "Since you are so suspicious of Gao! Why don't you wake up His Majesty and ask him what happened?"
Zhao Gao himself did not dare to wake up the First Emperor when there was nothing important.
He respected himself and others, even thinking about Gai Nie, he did not dare to do so. This sentence was originally a way to vent his anger towards Gai Nie.
But, he didn't dare, Gai Nie dared...
"Yes." Ganie nodded in agreement.
It rushed towards the side hall like a sharp sword.
Zhao Gao was startled and hurriedly stopped him.
But how can it be stopped?
Genie acted with all his strength, no matter how big or small the movement was.
Anyway, his purpose was to wake up the First Emperor, no matter how he woke him up, he would wake him up.
But Zhao Gao did not dare to use his full strength.
He restrained himself, fearing that his fight with Genie would make too much noise and disturb the First Emperor.
Therefore, Gai Nie quickly came to the side of the First Emperor, and behind him was Zhao Gao, whose eyes were about to burst and he mouthed wordlessly "No, no, no".
"Your Majesty, wake up."
Under the horrified look in Zhao Gao's eyes, Gai Nie pulled the First Emperor twice with his hands - that's what Gai Nie called Ying Chengyu in the Chang'an Junfu.
Plop~
Zhao Gao knelt down.
How dare this plague god wake up His Majesty like this? This is disrespectful!
To wake up His Majesty, you should lower your eyebrows, lower your eyes, bow your head and cup your hands and call out three times softly. If Your Majesty is not awake, you should approach His Majesty's ear, whisper softly, and slowly increase the volume.
The First Emperor was not awake yet.
Gai Nie, who was criticized by Zhao Gao, had a suspicious look in his eyes, put his hand on the arm of the First Emperor, sensed it with his heart, and his eyes stood up!
This is the young master's anger. Your Majesty didn't fall asleep naturally!
Bo~
Gai Nie immediately used his sword energy to disperse the energy left by Ying Chengyu, then increased his strength, pulled the First Emperor twice again, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, wake up!"
The sound was so loud that the eunuchs and maids outside Zhangtai Palace heard it and all trembled.
Why is Mr. Gai's voice so loud? Could it be that His Majesty... passed away...
On the palace road a few hundred steps away from Zhangtai Palace, Ying Chengyu, who was walking leisurely, felt his body go cold and waved his hand towards a dark corner.
Soon, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ying Chengyu. This was the secret guard in the palace.
"Give me the clothes."
"only."
The secret guard took off his clothes without hesitation, handed them to Ying Chengyu with both hands, and then disappeared again, hiding somewhere unknown.
Ying Chengyu put on his clothes and shrank his neck.
"I sneezed all day last time, and this time I suddenly felt cold. It's really strange. Do you want to find Old Man Xia to check again? Forget it, the old man didn't notice the illness last time, but he found out my skills. Check again
Once, maybe he can see something else..."
Ying Chengyu could never have imagined that his foolproof plan would be ruined by Gai Nie, a retainer whom he personally sent into the palace.
In the side hall of Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Gao stared blankly at the First Emperor, swaying left and right, being shaken like a tumbler, with no color in his eyes.
This is disrespectful, this is disrespectful...
How can we do this to Your Majesty? How can we do this to Your Majesty...
Even a sleeping person would wake up after being manipulated like this by Gai Nie, as long as he had not taken ten kilograms of Mongolian sweat medicine.
The First Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, looked around, and shouted angrily: "Where is that Zhuzi?"
