Chapter 138: Zhuang Zhou Dreamed of a Butterfly(1/2)
"Kill!"
"Kill the King of Qin! Return peace in the world!"
"Protect your car! Come and protect your car!"
"Master! You are fine, you are fine! With little Gaozi here! No one can hurt you!"
"Your Majesty is fine! Xiao... Xiao Gaozi's injury is not in the way..."
In the Qin Emperor's bedroom, Ying Zheng was lying on the bed, shaking his head left and right with a painful expression, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Suddenly, he woke up from his dream, gasping heavily, his pair of copper bell-like eyes opened, emitting a sluggish cold light.
After a while, Ying Zheng blushed and sat up from the bed.
Just now, he dreamed of the scene of his assassination. In his dream, Zhao Gao sacrificed himself to protect him many times. Although he was always in danger, Zhao Gao was also scarred because of this.
Over the years, Zhao Gao has sacrificed himself for Ying Zheng countless times, and Ying Zheng has recorded it in his heart.
As the saying goes, there is something to think about the sun and something to think about the night. In just a few days, he recalled the past between himself and Zhao Gao in his dream.
Zhao Gao served Ying Zheng for more than 30 years, but nothing had disappointed Ying Zheng, so Ying Zheng trusted him far more than anyone else.
If we say that Zhao Gao’s rebellion against Qin would cause the greatest harm to Ying Zheng.
Even now, he doesn't believe that Zhao Gao has betrayed him.
But in the face of the evidence, he had to believe it.
Ying Zheng was worthy of anyone in his life. The only thing he was ashamed of was two things. One of them was the Battle of South Vietnam, which lost hundreds of thousands of old Qin people.
The old Qin people were the foundation of the Great Qin. However, the Battle of South Vietnam greatly damaged the Qin Kingdom's vitality. Although Zhao Tuo is now guarding Nanyue, fewer and fewer old Qin people are.
The old Qin has been brave enough to go to the national crisis. The old Qin people have already paid enough for the Qin Dynasty over the years.
Ying Zheng did not use the royal family and did not grant the wealthy land of the old Qin people. Wherever there were difficulties or support, the old Qin people were the first to take over. This was Ying Zheng's guilt.
The second thing I feel guilty is that I slaughtered Zhao Gao’s family because of my selfishness.
Although this matter was done extremely secretly, Zhao Gao should have discovered clues over the years, but he still remained loyal as always without any resentment.
If he really wanted to rebel against Qin and restore the country, why did he defeat Zhao on the day of his life? He suggested that he slaughter all the enemies of the Queen Mother in Handan?
If he colluded with the remnants of the six kingdoms to murder him, why would he sacrifice himself repeatedly to save himself?
Ying Zheng shook his head, his mood was unprecedentedly chaotic, so he sat on the bed as if he had entered a state of meditation.
After a while, the palace servant came in to serve him to wash up. He asked in a daze: "When is it now?"
"Pingdan." The palace servant replied carefully.
Pingdan represents dawn. According to Xianyang's custom, Ying Zheng should have gone to the morning court.
But there was nothing special about the Eastern Tour of Pinyang, and he didn't have to attend the meeting.
So hesitated for a moment, then frowned and ordered: "Go and call Meng Yi, and say I have something important to ask him."
"promise."
The palace waiter no longer retreated, and Ying Zheng also began to get up and wash.
About a quarter of an hour later, Meng Yi came to Ying Zheng's bedroom.
"Meng Yi pays homage to Your Majesty—"
Meng Yi bowed and bowed to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "I know your brother at a young age. I am as close as my brother. You are my brother, so there is no need to be polite in private!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Meng Yi stood up and smiled.
"I came to you early in the morning. I want to ask if Zhao Gao had any tricks?"
"Return to Your Majesty, yesterday's interrogation, Zhao Gao fainted in the middle of the journey and had not confessed yet. I plan to open an interrogation today. I must ask him to confess truthfully!"
Ying Zheng frowned, nodded, and then reminded in a deep voice: "Meng Aiqing should move faster, otherwise the remnants of the six kingdoms will run away after hearing the news, and we will not be worth the loss."
Hearing this, Meng Yi's heart moved and replied seriously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will let Zhao Gao speak today."
“So good,”
Ying Zheng smiled satisfied and nodded slightly.
Meng Yi confessed some political affairs to Ying Zheng, so he hurriedly left the bedroom and rushed to the Pinyang County Government.
.............
at the same time.
In the prison of Pinyang County, Zhao Kun and Zhao Gao looked across the prison, silently.
After a moment, Zhao Gao took the lead and said, "Young Master has been watching the old slave for nearly half an hour, I wonder what to explain?"
"You seem to be different today than yesterday."
Zhao Kun narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhao Gao and said.
"Oh?" Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows: "Young Master, what's the difference?"
"You yesterday looked like a dead dog, but you today seemed to be reborn."
Zhao Gao smiled and bowed, "That old slave will be like a young master to praise him."
"Don't get me wrong!"
Zhao Kun shook his head and said expressionlessly: "I am not praising you, but reminding you that the dead dog is still a dog."
“…….”
Zhao Gao twitched slightly, thinking to himself, why is this kid so hateful!
However, it doesn't matter. As long as you don't die, you will have the chance to fight with this kid in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao's mood suddenly improved and he smiled treacherously, "What's wrong with being a dog? Be Your Majesty's dog and the Daqin dog, the old slave is very happy..."
Having said that, he even called out twice: "Wang!Wang!"
"Oh!"
Zhao Kun said "huh" and said coldly: "You can deceive my father. It's not that easy to deceive me."
Zhao Gao smiled unanimously, and then suddenly asked: "Young Master hasn't thought about how your mother died?"
"Um?"
Zhao Kun was stunned: "What does it mean?"
"It's not interesting, just ask casually."
Zhao Gao said meaningfully.
Zhao Kun's eyes cold and he shouted in a low voice: "What do you know? Tell me!"
"Haha, I don't know anything."
Zhao Gao replied with a smile, then turned his eyes to the corridor. At this time, three familiar people were walking in the corridor.
"I will take you to the lobby of the government office after being ordered by you."
After the prisoner said that, the two strong men behind him immediately opened the cell and helped Zhao Gao out of the prison door.
At this time, Zhao Kun suddenly slapped the fence and roared: "Hey! Stop it! Tell me quickly! What does it mean!"
The prison officer was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhao Kun, and frowned slightly: "What does your son mean?"
Zhao Kun ignored him, looked up at Zhao Gao, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Gao, let me explain clearly!"
"Young Master Kun has drunk too much, so let me rest!"
Zhao Gao sighed, did not look at Zhao Kun, but turned to the prisoner and said, "After thinking last night, Gao decided to confess truthfully, and hoped to see Meng Shangqing as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, the prison guard was stunned again, looked at Zhao Gao with a strange look, then looked at Zhao Kun, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go!"
After saying that, he ignored Zhao Kun and led Zhao Gao straight toward the iron gate.
Zhao Kun looked at Zhao Gao's departure back and felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he turned to Hu Hai in the cell opposite.
Seeing Zhao Kun coming, Hu Hai subconsciously shuddered and waved his hands repeatedly: "I...I don't know anything..."
Zhao Kun snorted coldly: "It's best!"
...........
Pinyang County Government Lobby.
Meng Yi was still sitting in the main seat, while the other officials of the government sat in separate places.
Compared to yesterday's tense atmosphere, the atmosphere in the lobby today is extremely harmonious.
Because Zhao Gao had just walked into the lobby, he admitted that he wanted to confess.
Although Meng Yi was a little surprised at Zhao Gao's speed of changing faces, he was too lazy to care about Ying Zheng's earlier urging, so he said calmly: "Zhao Gao, if you sincerely confess, I will order someone to record the confession!"
