Chapter 56 Hu Hai's Confusion
Chapter 56 Hu Hai’s confusion (first update)
After hearing the doctor's report below, Hu Hai suddenly raised his eyelids. He rubbed his eyes and seemed to be a little surprised. Then he said, "Are you telling the truth? You dare to rebel against me, Da Qin. Are you insulting my face? No."
Do you know that I just succeeded to the throne?"
Zhao Gao bowed slightly at this time and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the news Zhao Gao received, it is not that there are rebels, they are just some bandits. There is no need for Your Majesty to be so angry. "
"Oh?" Hu Hai was sitting on the throne, looked at Zhao Gao, and then at the gray doctor, and said dubiously: "Is this really so? Then why did Dr. Li report like this? Is Zhao Gao really just a bandit?
"
Zhao Gao smiled respectfully again and said: "Your Majesty, they are indeed just bandits, not rebels. Prime Minister Li can also testify."
"Li Si, what do you think? Are they rogue bandits or rebels?" Hu Hai was still worried and asked again. After all, he had just ascended the throne and was still quite sensitive to rebels. Even though he sang and sang every night, he still couldn't
Understanding the seriousness of the matter, he can ignore the government and the system, but he cannot ignore the rebels. Otherwise, if the Qin Dynasty is gone, will he still have the throne?
Li Si groaned. Seeing Zhao Gao looking over and signaling with his eyes, Li Si was puzzled. He had also received reports from various places. There were rebels in many places throughout the Qin Dynasty. Why did this eunuch Zhao Gao actually deceive His Majesty? Although he didn't understand in his heart.
, but after thinking about it, he still went out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, just as Zhao Fu's order said, they are indeed just rogue bandits. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. Li Si has ordered various places to be wiped out. I believe they will be there in a few days."
It can eliminate rogue bandits everywhere."
Hearing this, Hu Hai's heart finally dropped. He sat lazily on the chair again and waved his sleeves and said: "Dr. Li, there is no need to report this bandit in the future. How can a mere refugee in the mountains dare to rebel against our great Qin?"
After hearing this, the gray-bearded doctor was filled with anger and anger, and he shouted angrily: "Li Si, Zhao Gao, why did you two deceive His Majesty? You are obviously rebels, how can you call them rogues?"
Li Si was not happy when he heard this. He turned around and said coldly: "Dr. Li, please don't disturb the morning court again. Could it be that I, Li Si, can't even distinguish between rogue bandits and rebels?" When he said this, Li Si felt uneasy.
The situation in Da Qin is not optimistic.
"You?" Dr. Li stamped his feet, "Treacherous minister, traitorous minister. Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to take a closer look. Our country, the Qin Dynasty, is in dire straits, and we urgently need to send out elite soldiers to conquer the rebels everywhere in order to protect our foundation for thousands of years."
Zhao Gao's unique female voice raised the pitch and shouted sternly: "You are outrageous! You dare to deceive His Majesty again. What crime do you deserve?"
At this time, several elderly ministers came out, bowed and asked for orders: "Your Majesty, please be aware that rebels are everywhere now, and you must not let treacherous ministers harm the country."
Hearing the fierce fight between the two sides, Hu Hai shook his head impatiently, then stood up, waved his sleeves and shouted angrily: "That's enough! Both Li Si and Zhao Gao said they were rogue bandits. Will I still be deceived by you? You guys, please retreat."
Now, what to do about this matter, leave it to the Prime Minister to handle it, and retreat from the court." Then, Hu Hai yawned, stretched, and left angrily.
Seeing this, all the ministers shook their heads in complaint, sighed and left worriedly. After leaving the meeting hall, a group of ministers headed by Dr. Li immediately surrounded Li Si, "Prime Minister Li, as the head of all officials, you are more important than ever."
You have won the trust of His Majesty the First Emperor and His Majesty the Second. Do you really want to speak out of conscience? Can you bear to see my great Qin foundation destroyed?"
Li Si looked at the group of angry ministers. He cupped his hands with a wry smile and said, "Everyone, I, Li Si, naturally know whether they are rogues or rebels. However, you have also seen His Majesty's panic after hearing about the rebels.
Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, so you must not let him hear such news. Everyone, you should go back to your hometown first. As for the suppression of the rebels, I, Li Si, will inform the whole country as soon as possible and order all counties to start the campaign."
After hearing these words, the group of ministers gritted their teeth and said: "Prime Minister Li, what can we do if we can hide it for a while? We still need to let His Majesty make an early decision. If the counties cannot be conquered, the rebels will be killed."
We are even more powerful, and if we send my Great Qin Iron Army forward at that time, we will suffer heavy losses."
Li Si waved his hand and smiled coldly: "Everyone is worried, it's just a group of survivors from the Six Kingdoms, and the troops in each county are enough."
"Hey! I hope so!" The ministers sighed and took carriages back to the mansion.
In the Qin Palace, Hu Hai came out of the meeting hall. He was also confused. He stopped and said to Zhao Gao beside him: "Zhao Gao, I always feel that there is something fishy about this morning. I have also heard of Dr. Li.
, one is loyal to our great Qin, how could he deceive me today? Especially the matter of rebelling against thieves is a serious matter, so he should not lie."
When Zhao Gao heard this, he was heartbroken and thought to himself that Hu Hai was not confused by wine and sex. Then he smiled respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, you are overthinking. Dr. Li is naturally loyal, but your Majesty may not know.
This group of Confucian doctors like to exaggerate when discussing matters, and when the late emperor was in power, he was often tired of the boasts of this group of Confucian veterans."
"So that's it. If that's the case, I'm overly worried. It's Zhao Gao who thinks about me." Hu Hai suddenly realized it, and immediately praised the latter, and then said: "Those people who were sent to the palace yesterday
The concubine is very beautiful and has won my heart."
"Your Majesty is so flattering. It is Zhao Gao's duty to share your Majesty's worries." Zhao Gao pursed his lips and smiled softly.
"Yes." Hu Hai put his hands behind his hands and said again: "I know that you and Li Si supported my succession together. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."
Afterwards, Zhao Gao sent Hu Hai back to the warm bed in the harem, and after leaving the palace, he told the young eunuch beside him: "Serve your majesty well. If you get tired of this batch of women, go and order someone to collect another batch and send them to you."
Your Majesty is young, vigorous and strong, and is not comparable to the rest of us."
"No! Please rest assured, Ling Zhao. I will serve your majesty with all my heart." The eunuch said cautiously. Now in this harem, the person with the most power is not Hu Hai, but the Ling Zhao in front of you. He asked you to give birth to you.
I will live and let you die. Even if you want to die happily, you will have to be tortured to death.
Zhao Gao returned to his residence in Xianyang City. Li Si had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Li Si, Zhao Gao smiled carefully and said, "Does Prime Minister Li have something to do here?"
Li Si looked gloomy, waved his sleeves and snorted: "Huh! Zhao Gao, what do you mean this morning? Why do you want to deceive His Majesty?"
Zhao Gao looked at Li Si with a smile, his eyes gradually became sharper, and said: "Prime Minister Li must have remembered it wrong. It was not me, Zhao Gao, who deceived your majesty, but the two of us who deceived him together."
"You? Okay, Zhao Gao, you did drag me down too. If you hadn't kept sending me glances, how could I have deceived Your Majesty about the rebellion?" Li Si said angrily.
Zhao Gao smiled and said calmly: "Prime Minister Li, don't be angry. Now you and I are both in the same boat. How His Majesty ascended the throne is unknown to others. Don't you and I still not know?"
"Why did you mention this?" Li Si stared at the latter in surprise.
"Prime Minister Li, don't be nervous. What Zhao Gao means is that you and I stand together on your majesty's matter. Does Prime Minister Li really want your majesty to know the truth about the rebels?" Zhao Gao said coldly.
Li Si didn't understand what Zhao Gao meant. He calmed down and said: "Your Majesty does not need to know about this matter, but he must send troops to conquer. A few days ago, I ordered all counties to send troops to conquer, but the effect was not good. Now
We need the elite iron army of Great Qin to go out in person."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao pondered and said: "If you want to mobilize our elite army of Great Qin, your Majesty needs to make your own decision. Moreover, there is another question, who will lead these troops, which is the key to the problem."
Li Si thought about it carefully and said: "Wang Li is a good choice, but he needs to be stationed on the northern border to prevent the Huns from invading. As for Xianyang, Zhang Han, the commander of the Forbidden Army, has also experienced a war, so he can be considered a candidate.
." Then he fell silent and then said: "As the governor of Sanchuan County, my son Li You is worthy of this important task."
"Oh?" Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows and said with a meaningful smile: "Prime Minister Li, it may not be appropriate for your eldest son to lead the army. Sanchuan County is an important county in the east of Xianyang to defend Xianyang. The responsibilities of Commander Li are so important that it cannot be
Move at will."
"Humph!" Li Si looked at Zhao Gao, unhappy in his heart, and said: "Zhao Gao, don't you believe me? Why not let my son lead the army? There are heavy troops stationed in Sanchuan County, and the rebels cannot conquer it. My son
Even if he is transferred, it will not be affected."
"Really?" Zhao Gao's face also darkened, and he said with a touch of sarcasm: "Prime Minister Li, don't tell me that you don't know that your eldest son Li You is Meng Tian's disciple and has a close relationship with Fusu. Now Fusu is alive and dead.
I don’t know, no one knows when he will appear, what if Li You leads his troops to rebel?"
"Zhao Gao, what do you mean?" Li Si shouted angrily, "Are you questioning my loyalty to His Majesty, you eunuch? If I want to support Fusu, how can I let you assassinate me?"
Zhao Gao sneered in his heart and did not point it out. He had already been on guard against Li Si, and then he said: "There is no need to disturb Your Majesty about sending troops. Prime Minister Li, Wang Li will arrive from Shangjun in a few days."
When he returns, Your Majesty will also give him the Tiger Talisman of the Northern Border Guards. As for whether it is necessary to send troops to go on an expedition, we will discuss it at that time."
Hearing this, Li Si thought for a moment, put his hands behind his back and said, "In this case, let's wait until Wang Li returns. We can't delay the rebellion any longer, otherwise our Great Qin will be destroyed in the hands of an eunuch like you."
Zhao Gao looked at Li Si's leaving figure, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and whispered to himself: "Destroyed in the hands of a eunuch like me? Li Si, Li Si, I will let you taste the power of a eunuch like me."
