The Ancestral Dragon stood up and said in a deep voice," We unified the six countries and merged their Royal Kingdoms into Great Qin, reducing the number of deaths from wars every year. Isn't this the stable life they wish for?”
"I've put in so much effort. Why can't these remnants of the six dynasties understand?”
Seeing the killing intent on Zu Long's face, Chen Ke immediately advised,"Your Majesty, governing a country is like cooking a small fish."
Chen Ke's idea of governing the country like cooking a small fish instantly aroused the curiosity of many ministers.
At the same time, it felt fresh.
This analogy was particularly novel.
Chen Ke continued," When cooking, whether you add salt or add fire, the most important thing is to make the dish delicious."”
"If you add too much salt, it will be salty, and if the fire is too strong, it will burn. This is like Your Majesty ruling the country. If the law is too strict, it can serve as a warning and make the lives of the people too painful.”
"The path of relaxation, the straight path, the spiritual canal, and the Great Wall are too much.“
"The Six Nations have just been destroyed, and the people are anxious for stability. A large number of people have been requisitioned, which has already accumulated a huge amount of anger among the people.”
"Once it is ignited, it will burn the entire Great Qin.”
After hearing that, the Ancestral Dragon did not speak for a long time.
He was an extremely smart person, so Chen Ke did not need to say too much.
He believed that his words would definitely cause the Ancestral Dragon to warn him.
Then, the Ancestral Dragon immediately changed the topic and asked,"In that case, please tell me who are the treacherous officials in the court. I will take it step by step.”
Chen Ke nodded slowly and looked at Zhao Gao, who was kneeling beside him.
Zhao Gao suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Ke as if he had sensed Chen Ke's gaze.
There was a fawning and pleading look in his eyes.
It was as if he was telling Chen Ke to spare his life.
However, Chen Ke was not moved at all.
He knew too well that a person like Zhao Gao had to be eliminated.
"Your Majesty, don't you think that one of the people closest to you seems to be restless?" he asked directly.”
"In front of you, he is as obedient as a dog. When he goes out, he flaunts his power and uses you as a big signboard to deceive his superiors and subordinates and abuse his power.”
Chen Ke's words made Zhao Gao tremble all over.
That was because he could gain the trust of the Ancestral Dragon.
Who else could be in charge of the jade seal and the commander's seal other than Zhao Gao?
Ancestral Dragon also turned around to look at Zhao Gao.
He couldn't believe it.
He was good enough to Zhao Gao. It could be said that he had given Zhao Gao the greatest trust.
However, she did not expect him to be the biggest ingrate lurking around her.
For a moment, all kinds of emotions welled up in his heart.
Even the person close to him was a treacherous official, let alone those civil and military officials.
"Zhao Gao!" The Ancestral Dragon gritted his teeth and shouted.
Zhao Gao crawled over from the ground." Your Majesty, you must not believe a person's words. Even if this person is the state preceptor, you cannot say that I am a traitor."”
"This servant's loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen by the heavens. This servant is extremely loyal to you.”
"This servant is even more willing to sacrifice my life for Your Majesty.”
To be honest, if Chen Ke wasn't an immortal.
Qin Shihuang couldn't believe that Zhao Gao was the most treacherous official.
The feeling of being toyed with and made a fool of made Qin Shi Huang furious."Men, drag Zhao Gao down and exterminate his entire family!”
Zhao Gao immediately fell to the ground and begged for mercy as if he had been struck by lightning.
However, the Ancestral Dragon was not moved at all.
"Your Majesty, do you really think that Zhao Gao is the only traitor in the court?" Chen Ke asked.”
Chen Ke's words caused the hearts of the civil and military officials, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, to rise to their throats again.
Was it not over?
Didn't they catch Zhao Gao?
In fact, how could the ministers not know what kind of person Zhao Gao was?
He was a villain among villains.
In front of the Emperor, he could wag his tail and beg for mercy as lowly as a dog.
But outside, he was the second emperor.
Who dared to offend him, and who could offend him?
Zhao Gao was with the Ancestral Dragon every day.
To put it bluntly, the time Zhao Gao spent with the Ancestral Dragon was longer than the time the Ancestral Dragon spent with the concubines in the harem.
Zhao Gao's casual words could decide the promotion and demotion of an official, or even the right to life and death.
So, wasn't it enough to catch a treacherous official like Zhao Gao?
However, this was indeed not enough for the Ancestral Dragon.
" Your Majesty," Chen Ke continued," don't you feel strange about the words written on the meteorite that fell from the East County and the rumors that spread across Xianyang even though the East County is so far away?"”
Hiss…
Ancestral Dragon gasped.
He thought to himself, Immortal, as expected of an immortal. He actually knows such a secret.
The meteorite that fell from East County happened this year.
It was also a major event that happened in the thirty-sixth year of his reign.
It was something that disgusted Qin Shihuang.
The meteorite that fell from East County had the words 'The First Emperor died and the land was divided' written on it.
Everyone who had seen these words said that it was a prophecy.
It indicated that the emperor was about to die and that the empire was about to fall apart.
Wasn't this a clear curse?
Because of this, Zu Long flew into a rage and slaughtered all the villages around the meteorite.
However, this matter did not seem to be over.
Even now, people around Xianyang City were still faintly spreading this matter.
Although it was only among the common people, the Ancestral Dragon had indeed heard of it.
"Your Majesty, are you preparing for your fifth eastern tour soon?”
Ancestral Dragon slowly nodded to express his surprise. State Preceptor, how did you know?"
Chen Ke replied,"Actually, I came to stop your fifth eastern tour."”
"I even know the background and purpose of your fifth eastern tour.”
The Ancestral Dragon's face was slightly pale.
"It's probably related to the Firefly Guarding Heart, the East County Meteorite, and the search for immortality!”
Qin Shihuang was about to kneel.
He was really an immortal!
It was too powerful.
His calculations were not wrong at all.
"Imperial Preceptor, oh Imperial Preceptor, you really are an immortal. You really have everything planned out.”
In ancient times, Mars guarding the heart was a sign that the emperor was about to die.
The words carved on the East County meteorite were even more obvious.
"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, if I hadn't come, you would have died on the fifth eastern patrol. To be exact, it would have been July next year.”
Boom!
Crack!
These words exploded in Qin Shi Huang's ears like thunder.
"Then, Your Majesty, let me ask you. Who can know about your current physical condition in such detail?”
"Who would know how to use Mars Guarding Heart and meteorites to make a fuss?”
"At the same time, who has the ability to spread these rumors in Xianyang City?”
