It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 533: Secret Talk at Mount Li, Who Will Win? (1)

The wind blew up her wide black robe sleeves, and she stood there shivering in the winter chill. But she looked ahead, scanning the presence of Wang Ben and Li Xian.

The wind blew past, and the black-armored guards quickly surrounded Wang Ben's mansion.

Dark clouds gathered, a sudden chill came, and the music stopped for a moment.

She said calmly, "It seems that Lord Zhao didn't appreciate what I said in front of Zhangtai Palace."

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, "Appreciate it?"

She took a step aside, her earrings reflecting the agate light. "There's no hatred between you and me, but the Central Government is intent on making an enemy of me."

"There's no hatred?" Zhao Gao smiled, and said sinisterly as he passed Ying Hehua, "Your Highness the Princess has always been high and mighty, so naturally she doesn't know."

Zhao Gao often took advantage of the power of others to bully others, and he did it very well.

No one present did not believe it, even Xu Zhi, who could not help but be terrified when she heard Zhao Gao convey her father's oral instructions.

At this time, there was only one person who turned a deaf ear to all these things.

His very existence is also very rare.

Zhao Jia took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, the Princess has not come to the General's Mansion privately. Speaking of the old events of Shangdang, which are the secrets of the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Han, I must present them to the Emperor so that the past events can be clarified. Please allow me to explain today's situation in detail to Supervisor Li."

Zhao Gao had complicated emotions towards Zhao Jia, the former King of Dai and deposed crown prince.

Ying Zheng was ruthless in his revenge, and the number of Zhao nobles executed was the highest among the six kingdoms. In history, when the six kingdoms were restored, Zhao was the only one to have a king who was not a prince of the royal family.

Zhao Jia was the only remaining member of the royal family of Zhao State and the only remaining hope for Zhao State.

Zhao Gao understood this, and when Zhao Jia was able to escape from the Xianyang prison, it was not only with the help of Han Fei and Yan Dan, but also with his secret support.

How could Zhao Jia, who was supposed to be in Shangjun, end up at Wang Ben's residence?!
He was very surprised.

As soon as Zhao Jiafu appeared, Zhao Gao was at a loss.

"If Lord Zhao wishes to bring the princess to the emperor, he should actually report me and the general and his wife together. My father was on the throne when this happened, and I cannot escape this matter."

Zhao Jia's words were sincere and broke Zhao Gao's idea of putting all the charges on Ying Hehua alone.

The cold winter is full of dangerous intrigues.

Feng Qian held her hand, full of guilt, "Back in Handan, I saw the princess from the military camp... If I had told you everything at that time,"

Xu Zhi said, "The truth is more important than the recounting of facts. Even if it doesn't have much effect, the truth is the truth. The number of casualties among the military and civilians is not something that can be wiped out by any one party alone... However, the past is the past. Whether the descendants of those people receive compensation is perhaps what we should do."

After saying this, Zhao Jia saw Zhao Gao's expression suddenly froze.

Then, Ying Hehua did not act like a princess as imagined, or make sarcastic remarks or threaten Zhao Gao.

She walked in front and turned back, "Since Lord Zhao wants me to go back, then I will go back."

Zhao Jia stepped forward and stopped her. "Since your father sent Zhao Gao here, he must have something to ask. However, the Shangdang incident happened so long ago, what can you possibly know?"

Xu Zhi and Li Xian had both learned the secrets of Shangdang Yi County from Sima Cheng, the governor of Shu County. If anyone was trying to use this secret as bait to suppress her, she knew it all, but it happened faster than she anticipated...

The matter involved secrets, so all parties involved had to clear up the matter first and then report to the emperor.

Zhao Jia took the initiative to provide detailed information about the Zhao State back then.

Feng Qian spoke out on behalf of the Han prefect.

Zhao Gao and Li Xian served as supervisory officials, while Shen Zhi and Wang Yan recorded the events.

Everyone present had all kinds of thoughts in mind; some were plotting something, some were hoping to clarify things, and some even wanted to get rid of the other person.

In the end, Zhao Jia suggested going to the Lishan Villa to let go of old grudges.

Zhao Gao hated Ying Hehua for treating human life as worthless. She killed Yan Lezhi quickly, but then acted as if she was doing him a favor and gave him alms.

But he still respected Zhao Jia a little.

Half a year ago, Zhao Gao didn't know where Ying Hehua's unreasonable hostility came from.

But since he saw the prophecy book with his own eyes!!
Back then at Mount Tai, Ying Zheng only got a part of the "Preliminary Book" - the affairs of Qin II related to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Zhao Gao sneaked into the inner palace where the treasures presented by various countries were stored, and he undoubtedly found the River Map sent by Tian Dan of Qi... He felt like he had a dream, in which he spent his whole life. Only when he truly saw his ending did he feel truly desperate.

Furthermore, Ying Hehua happened to be in Yongcheng recuperating at the time, and it's certain that she developed a close relationship with Ziying that year. The pain of the past, the fear of fate, and the extreme dread of the future left him with no other choice!
Fortunately, he discovered something amazing on this road - Li Si's son, Li Xian, had also seen the dream in the River Map!
In his dreams, he used them so skillfully, but in reality, they were still as stupid as pigs.

Xu Fu must have exaggerated the story of Queen Mother Zhao's sudden death and the Queen's serious illness, making it a prophecy of a disaster from heaven.

Zhao Gao saw that Zhao Jia was also being fooled by Ying Hehua. If he didn't get rid of her, she would become the biggest stumbling block for him! !

The carriage was spacious, and Zhao Gao was invited into the carriage by Ying Hehua.

"Since the prefectural governor has brought the emperor's order, I am willing to listen attentively to what he has to say."

The wind rolled up half of the floating curtain, and the scenery of Mount Li outside the window disappeared behind.

The chariot is big.

Zhao Gao decided to take a gamble.

He entered, and the agarwood fell to the bottom of the wooden table. He then said slowly, "For so many years, my every move has been under the surveillance of Xianyang. Whether I went to Shu or Chu, it was all the work of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhi smiled faintly, "I survived the disaster in Chu and was able to return to Xianyang, all thanks to Zhao Fuling."

Although she was a princess, her speaking style was similar to that of Li Silu, a minister, which was circuitous yet to the point - this made Zhao Gao feel both disgusted and deeply admired.

If it were someone else, they would have lost their temper long ago.

Zhao Gao didn't want to play Tai Chi with her anymore. This time, he couldn't miss the opportunity to get rid of Ying Hehua in one fell swoop.

He has already sent the order to Yongcheng.

As long as Ziying in Yongcheng dared to make any move, coupled with the momentum created by Xu Fu... Ying Zheng would definitely be suspicious.

What's more, he still has a trump card! He is not afraid that Ying Hehua will not surrender.

Zhao Gao said, "Princess, if you want to surpass others in strategy, you should think more about where you went wrong last time."

Xu Zhi felt something was wrong. If the prophecy book was leaked, it was very likely that Zhao Gao would see it.

But why did he mention 'last time'? ?

She remained silent, "What's wrong?" Her words were direct and sharp, "Perhaps my fault is that I didn't kill the governor sooner."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao chuckled grimly, "Do you really think your father, the Emperor, dotes on you? You're just a pawn he uses to control the remnants of the six kingdoms and keep his court officials in check!"

Feng Qian, who was in the car with him, didn't understand what was going on and stared at Zhao Gao with a frown.

Xu Zhi raised his eyes and said, "In the chess game of the world, emperors and generals are nothing more than chess pieces of destiny."

Zhao Gao shouted, "If Your Highness, the high and mighty Princess, had lived a life worse than that of pigs and dogs in Zhao State, if you had lost all your loved ones. If you had been treated like a slave by your former playmates and a eunuch by your enemies, then you would understand what pain is."

"You once committed a serious crime, but our father pardoned you, allowing you to ascend to your current position. Despite our father's kindness to you, you seek to destroy everything he has and bring ruin to the Great Qin Empire?"

When these words were spoken, Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment.

Logically speaking, according to the dream, Ying Hehua died before Hu Hai ascended the throne, and Li Xian personally went to Mount Li to supervise the tomb sealing ceremony. She should have no idea of ​​the series of events that followed in the Qin Dynasty...

"Destroy it? The Qin State was built on the sorrow of the six states and the displacement of millions. What's more," Zhao Gao thought of Li Xian, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There is a kind of person who, if he himself is very unhappy, will definitely not want others to be happy.

Zhao Gao combined his dreams with reality and realized that he had been this kind of person from the beginning to the end.

Of course, Zhao Gao knew that Li Xian had only lowered his head temporarily, or perhaps he was just putting on an act, but this brief moment was his greatest possibility to destroy them.

When Li Xian was waiting for Xu Zhi under the carriage, he realized that Zhao Gao had specially chosen a road for Qin to drive the nobles of the six countries into Qin... How could those nobles have endured such suffering of displacement? There is no doubt that the most common thing on this road is resistance and friction.

Zhao Gao then began to speak without any reservation, using fabricated facts.

He raised his voice, "The current appearance is the result of the joint efforts of Your Highness and Lord Li. The affairs of Shangdang are complex and volatile. The princess has a kind heart. In addition to the royal ministers and the descendants of famous generals, she is also investigating these people. So, how can the princess show mercy?"

As he finished speaking, the Lishan Palace appeared in front of him, embedded in the place where the plains and the mountains meet. It is said that it was built by Qin Xiaogong for Shang Yang. Years ago, part of it was opened up as the residence for the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum and the construction of the Great Wall.

Now a new palace has been added because of Zhao Ji's funeral.

The wind swept past, swift and urgent.

Somber and full of chill.

Zhao Jia quickly got off the horse, full of anxiety.
