Chapter 39: The Rift

The contradiction between Zhao Gao and Gongsun Long began almost on the second day of the "Ganquan Palace Incident". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They were originally grasshoppers on a rope and had a good relationship, but after becoming famous, Gongsun Long found that the quality of his accomplice was too low.

According to historians, our Mr. Zhao Gao did not have a kindergarten education. Elementary school and junior high school are not to mention. Relying on his own intelligence, he was self-taught and knew a few words. You let him have ideals and ambitions, and it is really difficult for him to become a newcomer to the four types of sexualism. In addition, he has a physical disability and is seriously psychopathic. The abnormal thirst for power has reached a pathological level.

After Gongsun Long worshiped the general, he began to run the government affairs of Daqin, and was busy handling various things every day, after all, he was still a person with pursuits, but Zhao Gao was completely different, after he developed, he was only keen on doing one thing - corruption and bribery, not only that, but he also continued to install his own people in the court and confuse the court.

The reports asking for the reward of the meritorious personnel of the "Ganquan Palace Incident" are one after another, and there are more than 700 people before and after, God really knows where these people came from, and it is estimated that he even counted the old mother who was cooking in his kitchen that night (which should have effectively guaranteed the logistics and supplies). His adopted son, nephew, and even relatives who can't beat him with eight poles, such as seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law, have also been made officials, which is breathtaking.

When Gongsun Long saw this kind of smoky scene, he couldn't help but feel ashamed: How did I get together with this person back then? What kind of quality? Although he himself is a conspirator, that brother is at best a disabled gangster, and it would be a shame to continue to mess with him.

But in any case, now the two can't turn their faces. Because they still have one important big thing to do, and that is to liquidate everything that Jing Er left behind. First of all, in the name of the new king Hu Hai, the second king of Qin, issued an edict to Chang Wenjun, who was far away in Chengdu, asking him to immediately behead the rebel Meng Yi.

Meng Yi is Meng Tian's younger brother, and his status in the Meng family is second only to Meng Tian. He has been in control of the forbidden army for many years, so his old relatives and friends are almost all over the forbidden army. And because he is a member of the Meng family, he is also very influential in the Great Qin military. If he is not killed, the throne of Qin II Huhai may not be stable.

Therefore, even if this guy is far away in Chengdu, he must be killed. The order Meng Yi received was to investigate Empress Xiaohou and Chang Wenjun, Gongsun Long and Zhao Gao. Whether it is Empress Xiaohou or Chang Wenjun, they have been waiting for this edict for a long time. can finally kill Meng Yi justifiably, they should be very happy.

The second thing is to deal with the ladies and beauties left behind by Jing Er, as well as a large number of daughters.

There are many women in Mr. Jing Er's harem, and naturally there are many children. In the short period of childbearing, there are as many as eighteen daughters and sons. These eighteen children are eighteen time bombs. Regarding the bomb, Mr. Zhao Gao was unequivocal. His opinion is to kill!

"Queen Mother! Now Meng Yi is outside, although the Queen Mother has used the king's will to kill. But Chengdu is thousands of miles away from Xianyang Guanshan, and it is difficult to guarantee that Meng Yi heard the news and escaped from pursuit. Don't forget, Meng Yi has been in charge of the forbidden army for many years. There are countless of his relatives and friends in this Xianyang city, in case he controls a prince. Finding a place to set up another imperial court to make enemies of Great Qin would be a big trouble. Zhao Gao played his usual ruthless nature, and after saying this, Yun Chun'er's face immediately changed.

The most important thing for Yun Chun'er is her son's throne. Whether it is her or Zhao Gaogong Sun Long, their power actually comes from Hu Hai, who is less than ten years old. As soon as she heard that Meng Yi might take a prince to set up another central government, Yun Chun'er immediately became anxious.

Mr. Zhao has a point. Mourning family looks at ......! "Although Jing Er is not dead yet, Yun Chun'er treats him as dead. Even the self-proclaimed name has been changed from the main palace to the mourning family.

"Queen Mother! The heirs and princesses left behind by the king. There were as many as eighteen people, and if they didn't ask for anything, they would have been killed. How do we explain to the people, how do we convince the people of the world? Do you want the king or you to leave a butcher's reputation? History is like a knife, how should future generations evaluate history books? I hope the Queen Mother will think twice! Gongsun Long immediately jumped out to object. Zhao Gao can be ruthless, but he can't. It's not that he's kind, it's that there's really no way to account for it.

Great Qin established the country by law, and Qin's strict law was respected by all Qin people. Therefore, Great Qin can become the strongest among the princes. Even when Jing Er was in power, such a thing as killing some palace maids could only be secretly buried in the back garden. The law is the rules of a country, the rules that keep the whole society running. If it is wantonly destroyed, it is tantamount to destroying the rules of social operation. Once the law breaks, the country will come to an end.

Whether it is the nobles of the imperial court or Jing Er, the highest power. They are all carefully upholding the law all the time, and even if they have privileges, they dare not use it easily. Now the princes and princesses have not disobeyed in the slightest. How can it be convincing to kill them for no reason? In the future, the power of the Qin Law will be greatly reduced. Everyone is in danger, and the fragile regime of the Second is in danger of falling.

Gongsun Long was an idealistic politician and conspirator, and his remarks were entirely for the purpose of maintaining the stability of the Great Qin Dynasty and social stability.

But Zhao Gao doesn't care about those, and it must be done to kill those sons and princesses. He gave everything for Hu Hai's throne, and now whoever threatens Hu Hai is his enemy. Even if there is a threat qualification, it is not enough.

"The Prime Minister is worried a lot, isn't he just looking for some reason? This is not a problem, Zhao Gao will make the Great Qin Imperial Court, Xianyang City, and even the Three Qin fathers and elders unable to say a word, this is always okay! "Zhao Gao has long been proficient in framing things. Framing a few princes and princesses is not a problem!

"Uh......!" Gongsun Long was good at eloquence, but he underestimated Zhao Gao's shamelessness. Framing this kind of thing, he can actually say it on an occasion like a small court meeting. Don't forget, there are not only Hu Hai's mother and son and Gongsun Long, Zhao Gao. There are also Feng Quji and Gongziying on the side, Feng Qujian is still a lieutenant in the Tingwei Bureau, and Gongziying was named a senior doctor because of his outstanding performance in the "Ganquan Palace Incident", and he is also a high-ranking official with 3,000 stones. is worthy of his royal status, and can also soothe the injured heart of his father who was killed by Jing Er.

Gongsun Long glanced at Feng Quji and Gongzi Ying with some embarrassment, only to find that they were all silent. He knelt on the floor and said nothing, but his face was extremely ugly.

This son of a bitch! Gongsun Long muttered in his heart, but his brain was telling Operation, thinking about how to persuade Empress Dowager Yun. Don't kill these princes and princesses, after all, they have not violated any national law.

"Mr. Gongsun is also thinking about Daqin, and the mourning family knows it very well. But since Mr. Zhao has a way to convince everyone, then this matter is decided. This matter was handed over to Mr. Zhao to do, and Mr. Gongsun used more heart in the affairs of Bashu. After all, it was my Great Qin's granary source of money. When Yun Chun'er heard Zhao Gao's words, the back of her head was about to bloom. Seeing Gongsun Long's eyes rolling there, he knew that this old boy must be thinking of a way. Gongsun Long has always been known for his wit, but he can't let this old boy get along. Yun Chun'er immediately finalized his heel, and Zhao Gao would do it. Let Gongsun Long die and meddle!

"No!" Gongsun Long hated this stupid woman to death in his heart, but he didn't have the slightest way. Hu Hai was not yet ten years old, and it was customary for the Queen Mother to listen to the government when she came to the court. Back then, Jing Er's ability was also constrained by Zhao Jiduo. even got out the freak of Chang Yu, and finally fought back wildly at Jing Er's crown ceremony. almost took Jing Er's life!

"What's next?" Yun Chun'er didn't mean to consult Feng Quji and Gongziying at all, in her eyes, these two people were like a ball of air. After hearing Gongsun Long's promise, he immediately asked what should be discussed next.

"Uh......! The next thing to discuss is the battle situation in the northwest! Gongsun Long reluctantly withdrew from his thinking just now and began to think about the situation in the northwest.

"Northwest ......!" Yun Chun'er was a little helpless, the problem in the northwest was the problem of her Yun family. Tu Sui led hundreds of thousands of troops and was confronting Yunkey in the northwest. Not to mention that every year, a lot of supplies and grain are consumed every day. And these things have to be shipped from Sanqin and Shuzhong. The cost on the road is huge, and ten out of ten can be sent to the front line four or five achievements. Even with the wealth of Great Qin, it would be a great drain on Qin's national strength. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to end the war against Pingliang. It is better to let the army disarm and return to the field, go to the east, and enter the palace of Chu under the command of Wang Jian. In short, it is not possible to continue to dry up in the northwest.

"Now the daily consumption in the northwest is very staggering, and Daqin's finances are already difficult to support. Fortunately, the wind and rain have been smooth in the past two years, and if there is a natural disaster, it will be difficult for Daqin to support it. "Gongsun Long took over Yingao's official position, so he naturally had a more thorough understanding of Daqin's finances. Now Daqin's finances are already very tight, and a large part of it is the Northwest Army.

"What kind of charter is Mr. Gongsun?" Yun Chun'er stroked her forehead and said. Back then, because Jing Er and his eldest brother Yun Key had a bit of a stiff quarrel, and others didn't know about it. She Yun Chun'er knows that this eldest brother is not her own eldest brother. The so-called family affection is actually fragile and pitiful, and she doesn't know how much is left after so many years.

"Uh......! Now Daqin's finances are really difficult to support such a cost, and the minister means to ask the queen mother to take a leave of absence. I hope that Yunhou will miss his family affection and end this protracted confrontation. If there's something, let's sit down and talk about it. It should be given to Pingliang, let's give it, in the end, this matter was done wrong by the first king. Some concessions to Yunhou should be!

As long as this confrontation ended, the ministers thought that they would be able to let the Qin soldiers in the army return to their hometowns and continue to cultivate the land. The people of Zhao can be allocated under the command of General Wang Qian. Continue to conquer the state of Qi or the state of Chu, and now the seven princes have gone to the fourth. Only the Qi State in the east and the Chu State in the south are still surviving. As long as Great Qin adds a little more strength, the unification of China will be just around the corner. Gongsun Long didn't continue, after unifying Huaxia, he was going to kill the Northwest Cloud Key. But this queen mother is the Yun family, and he categorically doesn't dare to say this kind of thing publicly.

These words made Yun Chun'er a little embarrassed, and she believed that she could write it. But what the effect is, even she herself doesn't know. Over the years, she really can't say how much that thin family affection is.

"The Queen Mother can't!" Zhao Gao shouted and stood up directly. If there is anyone who does not want Daqin and Pingliang peace talks the most, it is Zhao Gao. At the beginning, he instigated the Huns to kill Wusun Jichang, and he no longer had the possibility of reconciliation with the Liangyun family. He firmly believed that Pingliang was on the list of materials that Pingliang asked for from Daqin. Zhao Gao's head must be among the best. Seeing that Fugui has just arrived, letting him give up now is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

After standing up, Zhao Gao remembered that he didn't seem to be ready to speak. Fortunately, thanks to the quick wit that has been practiced over the years, he thought for a while and said: "Queen Mother! Pingliang occupied Yongdu and Longyou, and also threatened the Yiqu grassland. On the battlefield, Pingliang also has the upper hand. Not only was Li Xin's 100,000-strong army wiped out, but even when Meng Tian commanded the army, he lost more than he won.

The royal family of Daqin was worried that the temple of Yongdu was still occupied by the Pingliang people, and the courtiers were worried that Longyou would be separated from virtue after being ruled by Pingliang for a long time, and the families of those who died in the war did not want to avenge their relatives all the time. And the Queen Mother is the Yun family, if she announces peace talks with Pingliang at this time, she will announce the withdrawal of troops from the northwest.

Then may I ask the Queen Mother, do we want to get Yongdu back? Do you want to get it back? What was not fought back on the battlefield, do you think Yunhou would let it go easily? What will the court think when the time comes? What will the clan think? Is it that you are pretending to be a public servant, or is it that Daqin really can't hold on. Dowager! The king's recent accession to the throne is unstable. If this matter is used by someone with a heart, it will be very unfavorable to the court and the queen mother. People are terrible, Queen Mother! Zhao Gao's remarks shocked Gongsun Long.

He didn't expect that Gongsun Long would have such an anxious wit and such an eloquent talent. This remark is indeed a good move from the perspective of thinking about the Empress Dowager Yun.

And what Zhao Gao said is quite reasonable, Yongdu and Longyou were not able to be taken back on the battlefield. Do you expect Yun Key to suddenly go insane and promise to return Yongdu and Longyou to Daqin during the negotiations? If Yongdu and Longyou can't get it back, what will the clan think of the queen mother and the king, and how will the courtiers look at the queen mother and the king. Especially if the Queen Mother is still a member of the Yun family, if there are rumors that the Queen Mother colluded with her mother's family and plotted against the territory of Great Qin. If you are used by someone with a heart, the consequences will ......!

The Qin people are impulsive and belligerent, and they are afraid that as long as they pry, they will set off monstrous waves. Perhaps, this new regime of Great Qin will be swallowed up by a huge wave.
