Chapter 323: This may be your only chance in this life!
Hu Hai has completely reacted.
Zhao Gao did not deny it, but apparently admitted it.
He sneered:
"I also have my own difficulties."
"After all, I was brought out of the Hidden Palace by Wei Si. Wei Si suddenly came to threaten me, and even directly threatened to fight me to death. I am just a powerless eunuch, what can I do?"
"I don't want to die!"
"I finally came out of the Hidden Palace, and I finally got His Majesty's appreciation. How can I be willing to fall again?"
"I was forced to do so!"
"But none of that matters anymore."
"Because when something happened to the Tenth Young Master, I was indeed involved, and I did see some things that I shouldn't have seen. That's why I was able to firmly believe that Qin Luoheng was the Tenth Young Master, but the Young Master didn't notice it."
"Now that the young master already knows, I will no longer hide it from the young master."
"after all......"
"The reason why I am able to stand here, to rise rapidly over the years, and to gain His Majesty's appreciation is actually thanks to the trust of the young master. I and the young master have complemented each other and got along very harmoniously over the years."
"I don't like it very much if the young master just said it."
"I am indeed the murderer."
"But how could the young master not be an accomplice?"
"Young Master, I heard before that Wei Si went to see the Tenth Young Master before he was exposed. What do you think he would say to Qin Luoheng? He just called Qin Luoheng the Tenth Young Master of Qin? Did he ever intentionally poison Qin Luoheng?
"
"Young master, you underestimate Wei Si too much."
"This man was ranked in the imperial family history at that time, and his family background is also not low. There are many people in the family who have been officials in the court since the Shang Dynasty. With such a distant family background, the young master thinks that Wei Si's behavior is only so superficial?"
"Three tribes of Wei Si were annihilated by Your Majesty."
"And it's not just an ordinary genocide, but most of the people in his tribe were killed in such a cruel way. If he wanted to take revenge on Your Majesty, how could he only say this? I'm afraid he had already told all this to the Tenth Young Master.
.”
"He has lost his family."
"Of course I also want to see young men killing each other."
"The Tenth Young Master does not have any ill will towards the Young Master at the moment, but this is temporary after all. When Qin Luoheng becomes the Crown Prince, you can guess whether Qin Luoheng will investigate this matter.
How should Mr. Shi deal with it?"
"Other young masters may have a chance of survival, but you, the young master, have no chance at all, because in Qin Luoheng's eyes, the young master is a real accomplice. He may even think that the young master is one of the real culprits who murdered him back then."
"How do you think Qin Luoheng will treat you, Master?"
Hu Hai's face turned pale.
He pointed at Zhao Gao angrily, and his whole body was extremely angry. He was completely frightened. He had never thought that one of his unintentional actions had caused such a big trouble for him. Immediately, he was also angry.
He scolded: "I didn't participate at all. You did this all. What does it have to do with me?"
Zhao Gao laughed and said:
"Ha ha."
"Who would believe what you say, Master?"
"Young master, you may not know something. When Cheng Xiu was leading the troops, he never thought about rebelling, but why did he suddenly rebel?"
"It's just because I heard some rumors."
"Your Majesty is suspicious of him."
"I told the young master before that a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. The young master was born in the imperial family, and he was born with a sin. Don't you still understand this truth?"
"The reason why I have been recommending the young master to compete for the throne all these years is actually because I sincerely think about the young master. Of course, I am also thinking about myself, because the young master and I are actually grasshoppers on the same rope. If the young master loses power, what will happen to me?
Will it be better?"
"And once the young master gains power, I can escape safely."
"Some things, once they have happened, are irreversible, and there is no way to change them."
"If it were possible, I would never have agreed to Wei Si back then, but what's the use of saying this now? Can it still be changed? The Tenth Young Master may have already known what happened back then. If I don't do anything again, when the Tenth Young Master comes to power, we'll probably
They are all going to be killed by the axe."
"I am a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
"I don't want to die."
"That's why I hurriedly came to see the young master to discuss countermeasures."
"His Majesty is currently ill and may be unlikely to recover. The other young masters are still unaware of the news. However, the tenth young master and the eldest young master who originally had the best chance of ascending to the throne are still being left out, and the other is still hundreds of miles away. The palace
The only one who has a chance is the young master."
"Such a great opportunity, if you seize it, you will definitely avoid future troubles!"
Zhao Gao's eyes were full of fanaticism and madness.
Hu Hai was frightened by Zhao Gao's crazy words.
Hu Hai said with a trembling voice:
"Zhao Gao, you are crazy!"
"You are a madman now!"
"madman!
"
Zhao Gao sneered and said nonchalantly: "Master, why can't you see the current situation clearly? Now is indeed the best opportunity for Master. To be honest, Master, when have I, Zhao Gao, been unable to treat you?"
"I, Zhao Gao, do have many small thoughts, but I am indeed thinking about the young master."
"The power of the young master is far less than that of the tenth young master and the eldest young master, and he has almost no influence in the court. Although your majesty has always been close to the young master, it is only close and has no real intention to cultivate the young master. From the beginning to the end, the only thing your majesty considers is the eldest son.
The young master and the tenth young master.”
"If you miss this opportunity, you may never have another chance."
"Young master, this opportunity cannot be missed!"
"Right now, Qin Luoheng's identity has not been announced, and the eldest son is hundreds of miles away, so he is beyond the reach of what happened in the palace. Moreover, Zongzheng's desire to stabilize his mind will definitely not call the eldest son back in a hurry. Now the general trend is
Young Master, how can a Young Master be kind to women?"
"I, Zhao Gao, hold His Majesty's seal, and I can help you now."
"Master, don't hesitate any longer."
Hu Hai was completely at a loss.
His heart was very confused.
On the one hand, he was really frightened by Zhao Gao's words, and on the other hand, he really lost his opinion. He was a person who didn't have much opinion. Now when he heard Zhao Gao's words, a sudden feeling came into his heart.
Stocks move.
He also doesn't want to die.
But if it was true as Zhao Gao said, if Qin Luoheng came to power, he might really die. For a moment, Hu Hai hesitated.
Zhao Gao also took the opportunity to say:
"Son."
"Don't hesitate any longer."
"This may be your only chance in this life!"
"When something happens to His Majesty, or His Majesty's condition gets better, Your Majesty will definitely start thinking about his successor. How can the Young Master be better than the other two Young Masters?"
"His Majesty is currently receiving treatment, and what the young master has to do is delay the treatment."
"Or let your majesty draft the edict, and I, Zhao Gao, will convince others when I arrive. After all, the court needs stability now, and the eldest son is too far away from Xianyang and will not be able to come back for a while. They don't know the existence of the tenth son for the time being, so in the end they only
I can temporarily let the young master take charge of the overall situation."
"And this is what the young master will do!"
"I know that the young master is very filial, but the Qin Dynasty is currently in turmoil, and a young master is needed to stabilize the situation. At this moment, who else can there be except the young master? The young master can no longer rely on anyone else, and the young master can only rely on himself.
"
"Master, please make a decision quickly!"
Zhao Gao knelt on the ground again and begged with a trembling voice.
Hu Hai's heart was completely shaken.
I just can't make a decision for the moment.
This is so crazy.
He has indeed coveted high positions in the past, but he never thought that it would be in this way, and it was almost a way of forcing the palace. He is just a young master. Although he is very loved by his father, he does not have much influence in the court. This
Can it really happen?
He hesitated.
Zhao Gao stopped talking at this time.
Everything he could and should have said has been said.
But the decision-making power was not in his hands. If Hu Hai could not make up his mind, he had nothing to do. He was just a eunuch. Although he held the seal in his hand, he did not have much real power and could not order the soldiers in the palace.
Zhao Gao was also very impatient.
He felt increasingly less powerful.
If someone around him has the title of Lang Zhong Ling or the Ling of Xianyang, or if he has a higher status, he can go directly to Xianyang Palace to discuss with other courtiers and decide the trend of the world. Why do you want to make such a move?
By this time.
He has become more and more determined in his ideas.
He must push Hu Hai to the throne. Only when Hu Hai succeeds to the throne can he take a step further, truly gain power, and truly gain access to the throne. He no longer has to be coy and look at other people's eyes.
Zhao Gao's desire for power grew again.
a long time.
Hu Hai finally spoke.
He trembled:
"Zhao Qing, I...what should I do?"
"Let me say it first. I am only doing this to stabilize the court. I will never do anything to my father. This is my bottom line. I, Hu Hai, do this just to protect myself and not to be harmed by other brothers in the future.
.”
"You are not allowed to mention this again!"
Hear the words.
Zhao Gao looked happy.
He quickly said:
"Don't worry, sir."
"If I were not forced by the situation, I would never make such a move."
"What the young master needs to do now is to rush to Xianyang Palace to check on His Majesty's condition. If His Majesty's condition is not serious, it will be a blessing. If His Majesty is really on his deathbed, the Young Master may try his best to delay the treatment.
And we must try our best to prevent His Majesty from promulgating his posthumous edict."
"Because if there is no accident, Your Majesty will not propose the young master as the crown prince."
"I won't let the young master supervise the country."
"Only Your Majesty is in a dying state and can no longer speak. At that time, I will be waiting by Your Majesty's side to prepare an edict and deliver the decree on His Majesty's behalf. The edict and seal are all in my hands. What exactly does Your Majesty want to say?
It’s all up to me to convey it.”
"When......"
"I can also do things cheaply."
There was a trace of sadness in Hu Hai's eyes. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded and said, "I'll let you do it this time."
Finished.
Hu Hai took a deep breath and walked directly out of the hall.
Zhao Gao took the lead and whispered: "Sir, the carriages and horses have been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Now we are waiting for you to get up and set off."
