Chapter 89 Meng Sheng who surfaced

"There are still many conditions behind the rise of complaints and the rise of the storm. It is not possible to achieve it in a few days. If you cannot lay a solid foundation, how can you have a place in the world soon?" The middle-aged man persuaded the young man in front of him with bitter words that were extremely inconsistent with his face.

"Did uncle hear the news from Xianyang?" The young man doesn't like reading military books very much, but he feels keen. He can see something just through his uncle's words.

The middle-aged man glanced at the young man helplessly, but sighed and said, "Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, said today. News came from Xianyang City that the body of the First Emperor was getting worse day by day, and I am afraid that he would not live for two years..."

"Is this really the case for the rumor of the First Emperor of Dongjun dead?" After hearing this, the young man threw the military book aside, took two steps in front of his uncle, and the words "excitement" were almost flying out of his eyes.

"That's just a trick of a person with ulterior motives. The purpose is to deceive the world's Qianshou's hearts and the nobles of the six countries, and the body of the First Emperor... should have nothing to do with this matter."

A wise look appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes, looking at his nephew, with hope in his eyes. He continued to murmur: "The trees are in the forest, and the wind will destroy them. Don't be anxious! You are still young and your future is limitless. Accumulating strength is the king."

...

Ying Gao didn't know about the matter in Kuaiji County. He was busy every day to pull something out of Yan Le's mouth, but it took several days to pass by. However, Yan Le still insisted that the series of things was his own idea. Apart from jumping out a few officials who could not count in Xianyang Palace, there was no progress at all.

Ying Gao wanted to wait for a few more days, but the First Emperor could not tolerate it. Finally, after asking a few times, the First Emperor decided to interrogate Yan Le himself.

Zhao Gao's performance was surprisingly calm in the whole matter of the wine shop, and he immediately drew a clear line with his son-in-law Yan Le, who had been inseparable from him before. He even assured Emperor First Emperor that even if Yan Le was associated with his daughter, he would do whatever he wanted.

Of course, Ying Gao was scolding Zhao Gao as a hypocrite and a real eunuch, but in the heart of the First Emperor, he didn't think so. He thought that Zhao Gao was still very conscious of the general and could make a decision in the face of big troubles.

Yes, this is the case with the First Emperor. If Zhao Gao's words reveal a little bit of pleading for Yan Le, the First Emperor would not only quickly kill Yan Le, but also include Zhao Gao as the key object of suspicion. Obviously, Zhao Gao, who has been with the First Emperor for more than 20 years, has studied the temperament of the First Emperor quite thoroughly.

Even so, Emperor First Emperor was not a fool. He believed that what Ying Gao said that Yan Le must have accomplices in Xianyang, and his status in Xianyang Palace must be quite low.

But the problem is that Yan Le has a wide range of friends on weekdays. Except for those who are extremely ministers around Emperor Qin Shi, officials of all sizes almost all have something to do with Yan Le. They usually drink small wine, listen to small songs, and play with beautiful girls together. In this case, there is no focus on doubting the person, and even Emperor Qin Shi cannot publicize this matter in Xianyang City.

After all, someone was picking out a secret passage in the capital where he was, and he didn't know that he would die if he was picking out one day. So the First Emperor regarded this as his own shame. Except for a few close ministers, no one else knew about it. This situation made Ying Gao unable to investigate the matter in large quantities, so Ying Gao really didn't find out the evidence pointed to Zhao Gao for a while.

The end of the year of the Qin Dynasty was not in the severe winter, but in the late autumn. Yan Le's execution time was set by the First Emperor at the end of the year, and the punishment was only cut in half. Although it was considered extremely cruel, compared with the person who used when Ying Gao scared him before, it was just a piece of cake. Yan Le also accepted the result calmly.

In Ying Gao's sight, Zhao Gao, who had no Yan Le, seemed to be no different from before. He was still dealing with matters related to him in the court, tutoring Hu Hai and Qin Lu and calligraphy, and then sat in his study and looked at some bamboo slips.

At least within the range that Ying Gao could monitor, he had no abnormalities. Of course, Ying Gao had no other evidence. In this case, even though he was extremely anxious, he still had no choice but to use such a beardless old maggot.

Once the year passed, Emperor First Emperor's life had really entered its last year. Moreover, when Ying Gao looked at Emperor First Emperor's expression and body, he felt that Emperor First Emperor might really die at the same time in history, so the time left for himself was really small.

The peasant brothers represented by Chen Sheng, the petty bourgeois speculative and counterattacking players represented by Liu Bang, and the declining nobles of the six countries represented by Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang must still be eyeing the Qin Dynasty. Ying Gao knew that if he didn't hold the lid of this pot of stewed pot, the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs in the pot would all come out. At that time, it would be another difficult situation.

Ying Gao, who encountered a bottleneck, decided to take risks after a period of ideological struggle. Since Zhao Gao, the old fox, did not let him catch his handle for the time being, Ying Gao naturally could not watch the loss of time bit by bit.

With the cooperation of Xiao He and Feng’s father and son, Ying Gao grasped some of the recent movements in the Xianyang Palace. This movement, coupled with the emphasis on him during this period, made him decide to try something that he had thought about in his mind before.

Since Emperor Qin Shi, who had encountered unscrupulous alchemists such as Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng, he had almost driven away most of the alchemists who had traveled to and from Xianyang City. Currently, there are only a dozen left. Among them, the most recent one of the first emperors was Meng Sheng, whom he met during a tour several years ago. Now, the elixirs taken by Emperor Qin Shi was made by Meng Sheng in the Xianyang Palace.
