After getting off Fusu's carriage, Xiao Ziyu felt a sharp edge stinging him. When he looked up, he found that it was Zhao Gao.
Seeing the other party's stern look, Xiao Ziyu suddenly smiled in his heart. At the same time, he smiled and nodded at the other party, as if to say hello.
But the smile on his face made Zhao Gao secretly angry even more after seeing it.
Haiyue Xiaozhu's assassination plan was originally a seamless plan, but in the end, it was because of him that his plan was ruined.
At the same time, he also let Fusu know that this plan was planned by him.
Moreover, because of Zhang Han, Ying Zheng also found out that he arranged for someone to assassinate Fusu.
So he was inevitably called over by Ying Zheng for questioning.
Facing the expressionless Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao felt really frightened that time. Although he was the leader of Luo Wang and the order of the Zhongche Mansion, his power within the empire was not much worse than that of Li Si.
But facing Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao still felt guilty.
In the end, when faced with Ying Zheng's inquiry, he still followed the excuse he had thought of before, which was actually the truth.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to assassinate His Highness the Young Master. The reason why I do this is to put the blame on the forces of the Mo family that resist the empire. In this way, His Highness the Young Master will make up his mind to eliminate those forces of the Moh family."
Zhao Gao's excuse is indeed good.
Compared with Ying Zheng, Fusu is indeed a bit weak, or it cannot be said that he is weak, but that he is too gentle.
Even when dealing with those hostile elements of the Mohist family, he always wanted to be gentle and let them return to the embrace of the empire.
This point is somewhat inconsistent with Ying Zheng.
Zhao Gao also knew this, so he used it to absolve himself.
However, in fact, it is not very satisfactory.
Regardless of whether Fusu is too soft on those hostile elements, he is the eldest son of Ying Zheng. When did his eldest son of Ying Zheng need you as a minister to figure things out?
As a minister, you must have the understanding of a minister. No matter what Fusu says, he is still your master.
Therefore, in the end, Zhao Gao was inevitably punished by Ying Zheng, and many of his rights were taken back, especially the net, which was also restricted a lot by Ying Zheng.
It was considered a punishment for him. In the end, he was asked to go to Songhai City to protect Fusu, which made him even more embarrassed.
But in the face of Ying Zheng's order, Zhao Gao had to execute it.
Once he dares to resist at all, death is waiting for him. No matter how strong he is, he is still too weak when facing the country.
So he had to come to Songhai City and suffer from Fusu's eyes, and he had to bear it.
And it was Xiao Ziyu who caused all this, so Zhao Gao's hatred for Xiao Ziyu can be imagined, if he did not exist.
Six Sword Slaves can kill all those assassins, and if there are no survivors, Fusu will not know that he planned all of this.
In this way, Fusu will follow his plan step by step, slowly consuming his own strength.
Unfortunately, this has all changed now.
Since Fusu knew that it was his conspiracy, he would never follow his plan. Instead, he would go against him and constantly suppress him.
Fusu's strength is much stronger than him.
After all, as the eldest son of Ying Zheng and the future heir of the empire, many people within the empire are quite supportive of Fusu.
Especially in the army, Meng Tian supported Fusu.
As the most outstanding disciple of the Meng clan, Meng Tian is also the patriarch of the Meng clan. His attitude means that the Meng clan now supports Fusu.
The Meng family is one of the top general families in the Great Qin Army. Among the general generals in the entire Great Qin Dynasty, the Wang family can overwhelm them.
Even after Wu'an Junbai rose to power, the Bai family gradually became weaker because of his fall.
However, Meng's family started with Meng Tian's grandfather Meng Ao, slowly rose to prominence, and was further developed by his father Meng Wu. By Meng Tian's generation, it had reached its peak.
At this moment, Meng Tian, as the commander of the Golden Fire Cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, had reached its peak of power, especially when he helped Ying Zheng destroy the Six Kingdoms, he had made great contributions.
With the support of Meng Tian and the Meng clan, Fusu's strength is very great. If there are no accidents, he will obviously be the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, the people behind Fusu were not only Meng Tian, but Fusu, the eldest son of the First Emperor of Qin, whose surname was Ying, whose surname was Zhao, and whose given name was Fusu.
His mother was from the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom. Although the Zhao Kingdom is gone now, his mother, the noble family of the Zhao Kingdom behind his grandfather, has not disappeared.
Instead, it has become a considerable strength of the empire, exerting considerable influence both in the military and among civil servants.
And Fusu is obviously the next emperor of Qin whom they support. With the support of these people, Fusu's strength is indeed unique in the empire.
Among all the heirs of Ying Zheng, almost none can compete with him, not even Hu Hai, who was supported by Zhao Gao.
Fusu has such great strength, which is both his luck and his misfortune.
After all, he is not the emperor of Qin yet, and when Ying Zheng is still at his peak, Fusu's great strength will obviously shake his position as Ying Zheng.
Even though to outsiders this is nonsense, Ying Zheng doesn't think much of it.
As an emperor, he is undoubtedly the most suspicious.
And often the more powerful the leader, the more suspicious they are, and as their heir, they often don't end well.
Counting the ancient masters of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zong of Tang and Song Zu, their suspicions were so great in their later years.
As a prince, no one has a good ending, of course Song Taizu does not count, because he was killed by his younger brother before he took action.
The two emperors, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, were definitely the two most powerful representatives in ancient China. But look at what happened to the heirs of these two in their later years.
Almost all the sons of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were killed by him, and the same was true for Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the more powerful the leader, their heirs often cannot perform too perfectly, because this will definitely make them suspicious. Once this happens, the outcome will obviously be bad.
This is what Fusu is like now. The support behind Fusu is getting stronger and stronger.
Even Ying Zheng had to be a little suspicious. If Zhao Gao had planned Fusu's assassination this time, if it had been before, then Ying Zheng would never have carried out the assassination.
But now it has only weakened the opponent's rights a little.
As for why, it was not just to allow Zhao Gao to continue to control Fusu, Ying Zheng was playing with a balance.
