In the carriage.
Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes and asked as he looked at Zhao Gao, who was driving the carriage.
"How is the war in the north?"
Although Ying Zheng was in Xianyang, he was concerned about the whole country and knew about the Xiongnu's rampage in the south not long ago.
Zhao Gao said respectfully," Don't worry, Your Majesty. As soon as the Hu people went south, General Meng Tian had already led his army to encircle and suppress them. How can a mere scabies stop the Great Qin's cavalry? I believe this problem will be resolved in a few days.”
"Oh."
Ying Zheng's voice rang out slowly, without any emotion.
After a while, Ying Zheng asked again.
"How are the two young masters?"
Zhao Gao's eyebrows jumped. He lowered his head and said respectfully,""Eldest Young Master Fusu sympathizes with the soldiers and loves the people. His wisdom is known by everyone, and the border soldiers love him even more.”
"And…I heard that the Seventh Young Master Chang Ying has also made many military achievements in the border over the years. General Meng is full of praise for him.”
"With the two young masters guarding the border, Your Majesty can rest assured and patrol the east.”
Zhao Gao said softly. However, his words had a soft nail in it.
Since ancient times, military power had always been regarded as the exclusive property of the monarch.
The two young masters had become friends with the border generals and soldiers. As the emperor, how could he not be suspicious?
Not to mention an emperor like Ying Zheng who had a strong desire for power.
However, this time, Ying Zheng's reaction made him a little uncertain, as if he did not understand the meaning behind his words.
After a long time.
Ying Zheng's voice rang out from the carriage again.
"After this eastern tour ends, summon them back to the capital.”
Zhao Gao's expression changed drastically.
……
Night fell.
Huhai Estate.
A fast horse galloped over. When the guards outside the door saw who it was, they immediately stepped aside and let it pass.
The mansion was brightly lit.
Young Master Huhai was currently entertaining his good friend.
During Ying Zheng's eastern tour, he was the happiest person in the entire Xianyang City.
When Ying Zheng was still around, Huhai had to accompany him every day, pretending to be well-educated and reasonable.
As soon as Ying Zheng left, Huhai felt that the dark cloud hanging over his head had disappeared.
He could play however he wanted. Who could control him?
Just as Huhai and his friends were toasting, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door.
" Who is making a ruckus outside?" Huhai shouted angrily." Fork him out and kill him!"”
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Gao walked in with a gloomy face.
Huhai wanted to curse, but when he saw who it was, he was shocked.""Sir? You…Didn't you accompany my father to the east? Why are you here?”
Huhai respected Zhao Gao very much. He had grown up in the palace and was arrogant, willful, and had a bad character, but he still respected Zhao Gao.
The person he trusted the most in the entire State of Qin was Zhao Gao.
From Zhao Gao, Huhai learned many things, such as how to not get drunk, how to not lose in gambling, how to deal with enemies, and so on.
In Huhai's eyes, Zhao Gao was the most knowledgeable person.
At this moment, Zhao Gao looked at the half-drunk Huhai and shouted,""Young Master still has the mood to be happy here, but he doesn't know that a disaster is about to befall him!”
"Ah?"
Huhai's mind immediately cleared up." Sir, why is this?”
Zhao Gao stared at him without saying a word. Huhai understood and immediately dismissed the others.
Soon, only the two of them were left in the hall.
Zhao Gao's face was gloomy as he told him everything that had happened today.
Huhai was confused and couldn't tell the main point.
Zhao Gao looked at the other party's innocent appearance and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. However, his life was now tied to this young master in front of him.
If there was any change in the future, it would be the end of eternal damnation.
"Young Master, don't you understand? His Majesty is going to appoint a heir!"
"That Fu Su has always regarded us as a thorn in his side. If he succeeds the throne in the future, we will definitely die without a burial place!”
Zhao Gao's face was extremely solemn, but Huhai was a little hesitant.
"Fu Su doesn't seem like a bloodthirsty person.”
"Childish!"
Zhao Gao laughed coldly.
The most ruthless imperial family.
Today, Fusu can treat the wise and corporal with courtesy, and the wise and wise people can be known by the world.
Who could guarantee that he would not pick up a butcher's knife when he became the emperor in the future?
Hearing Zhao Gao's serious words, Huhai's face turned pale and he hurriedly said.
"Then…what should we do?"
"Fusu is the Eldest Young Master, and the old officials in the Imperial Court support him. The position of Crown Prince is naturally his.”
How could Zhao Gao not know this?
Before this, he did not think much of it, but after hearing Ying Zheng's words today, he immediately became alert.
He had been by the side of the Emperor all year round, and no one knew better than him about the condition of Ying Zheng's body.
He had thought that he could still hold on for two to three years.
But now, it seemed like…
Ying Zheng... probably couldn't make it.
Zhao Gao's expression was solemn as he paced back and forth in the hall.
Suddenly, he thought of something. He stared at Huhai, and his hair stood on end.
"Sir, if you have something to say, say it quickly."
Looking at Zhao Gao's expression, Huhai started to get anxious.
"Young Master…"
Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes and said seriously,""Prepare to follow me out of the city immediately and patrol the capital with His Majesty.”
"What?"
Huhai's face fell." Sir, can we not go?"”
"I'm saving you!" Zhao Gaoliang laughed. If Young Master wants to die without a burial place in the future, then please do as you please!”
Huhai was frightened and could only nod repeatedly.
"This Young Master…will listen to Mister.”
