At this moment, in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace.
The ministers were all silent, not daring to make a single sound.
Zhao Gao even wished he could bury his head into the ground, fearing that the First Emperor Ying Zheng and the ministers would discover that something was wrong with him!
Terrifying!
Terrifying!
Young Master Qiu's intelligence was simply too shocking!
No way.
After the court session ends, we must get rid of everyone who knows about this!
If there were any clues left behind…
Thinking of this.
Zhao Gao, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly shivered!
He even believed that Zhao Qiu would be able to find out that he was the one who leaked the news from behind the scenes!
Those who spread the news must not be left alive!
"Minister Zhao, who do you think is the most likely spy of the Empire?”Ying Zheng sat down again and asked Zhao Qiu in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, regarding the spies of the Empire, this humble subject has no suspects at present.”
"However…"
"From the assassination attempt on me by the remnants of the six dynasties to the attack on the convoy transporting the grain seeds.”
"Their goal can be divided into two.”
"Firstly, it is to disrupt Great Qin's plan to promote high-yield rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.”
"Secondly, it's against this lowly subject and wants to kill this lowly subject!”
"This means that the spies of the empire might be spies of the remnants of the six dynasties hiding in the empire, or they might be my enemies!”
Zhao Qiu analyzed in detail.
At this moment.
Hearing Zhao Qiu's analysis, the ministers all looked at the Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji.
Everyone knew.
The conflict between the Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji, and Zhao Qiu, the internal historian, had started on the first day Zhao Qiu entered the Imperial Court.
Could it be…
"What are you looking at?"
" Why are you all looking at me?!"
"Don't tell me you suspect that I, the Right Prime Minister of Great Qin, leaked the news to the remnants of the Six Nations!？”
Feeling the suspicious gazes of the officials in the court, the Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji, immediately exploded. He blew his beard and glared angrily.
"It's not impossible!" Li Si stared at Feng Quji and sneered.
Naturally, he would not let go of any opportunity to attack his sworn enemy!
"Bullshit!"
"No matter how deep the conflict between me and Internal Secretary Zhao is, I will not betray Great Qin and His Majesty!”
"Your Majesty, you have to believe me!”
"This matter was definitely not my doing!”
Feng Quji's face turned red from Li Si's anger, and his heart was also filled with panic, fearing that the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, would believe Li Si's words.
After all.
Of all the officials in the court, he was the one who had the deepest conflict with Zhao Qiu!
It was simply impossible to explain!
"Li Si, don't make wild guesses without evidence!”
"Zhen believes that the Prime Minister of Great Qin would never do such a disobedient thing.”
Although there were some conflicts between Zhao Qiu and Feng Quji, Ying Zheng did not believe that Feng Quji, a senior minister who had been the Prime Minister for more than ten years, would do something that would harm the interests of Great Qin.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
"When I return, I will definitely mobilize the greatest force to track down the spies of the Empire!”
Ying Zheng's words immediately made Feng Quji heave a sigh of relief. He promised to do his best to track down the spy, in order to curry favor with Ying Zheng, and also to clear his own suspicion.
Feng Quji heaved a sigh of relief, but Zhao Gao's heart, which had just eased up, instantly tensed up again!
Zhao Qiu immediately analyzed the whole story.
That's right.
He and Huhai were targeting Zhao Qiu and wanted him dead!
As Zhao Qiu did not know his own identity, he could not guess that the person behind the leak was the young master of the Imperial Family.
Zhao Gao stood in a corner of the hall with his back hunched and head lowered. No one noticed his strange behavior.
Actually…
Zhao Qiu agreed with Ying Zheng's words.
As the Great Qin's Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji would not risk his entire family to do such a thing that would damage the Great Qin's foundation just because of these conflicts with him.
Who could it be?
Zhao Qiu instinctively felt that these two operations were targeted at him!
However, when he first arrived in Xianyang, he did not offend many people.
The only one who had conflicts was the Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji!
Although Zhao Qiu was extremely intelligent, he did not know his hidden identity, so he did not know that he still had potential enemies, Zhao Gao and Huhai.
If Zhao Qiu knew that he was hiding his identity, he would definitely think of the mastermind behind the scenes.
However…
Zhao Qiu did not know his own hidden identity, but Li Si knew it very well.
He stroked his beard with his palm and frowned as he pondered.
Other than Feng Quji, who had a conflict with Zhao Qiu in the Imperial Court, some of the young masters in the Imperial Family were Zhao Qiu's potential enemies.
However, most people probably did not know about Zhao Qiu's hidden identity.
The only person who might know was the eighteenth prince, Huhai, who had a close relationship with Zhao Gao!
Zhao Gao was one of the few people who knew about Zhao Qiu's hidden identity like him.
Did he reveal Zhao Qiu's identity to Huhai?
Because Huhai felt Zhao Qiu's threat to the throne, he thought of ways to get rid of Zhao Qiu with the help of the remnants of the Six Nations?
The more Li Si thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He could not help but look up at Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao's body was bowed deeper than usual, and his head was lowered. His expression was almost impossible to see.
Was he overly frightened by the Emperor Pressure of the First Emperor?
Or…
Guilty conscience?
