Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 70 Zhao Gao's Thoughts and Hu Hai's Ideas

Zhao Gao first notified Meng Tian and others one by one.

After making the announcement, Zhao Gao hurried to another place in the palace.

When I pushed the door open, I saw a young man drinking wine and various delicacies on the table.

It was not known whether the boy was drunk, but when Zhao Gao pushed the door open, the boy seemed not to see him.

Zhao Gao frowned slightly and coughed lightly.

"Cough cough..."

After a light cough, the boy looked over.

When he saw that it was Zhao Gao, the young man quickly stood up and saluted, saying:
"teacher."

Zhao Gao nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Sir, what are you doing?"

Zhao Gao was very dissatisfied with Hu Hai's actions.

Last year, Qin Shi Huang asked Zhao Gao to be Hu Hai's teacher and teach Hu Hai law, which made Zhao Gao quite happy.

After all, what Qin Shihuang did was a kind of affirmation of his own abilities.

Not everyone can be the prince's teacher.

But after this year, Zhao Gao also got to know Hu Hai.

Hu Hai is a hopeless person!
Zhao Gao did not say how disappointed he was with Hu Hai, but when he saw Hu Hai, he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

He originally wanted to rely on Hu Hai and help him become emperor in the future.

But with Hu Hai's character, it was hard to imagine whether Qin Shi Huang was willing to pass the throne to Hu Hai. Even if Qin Shi Huang was willing, all the civil and military officials in the court would not agree.

What could Zhao Gao do?

As for Hu Hai, he was afraid that he had said something too harsh, but he couldn't hit him.

"Teacher, I just finished studying, so I want to have a drink to entertain myself."

Hu Hai explained.

“Did you just study?”

Zhao Gao asked with narrowed eyes.

When others said that they had finished their studies and were going to relax, Zhao Gao still believed them.

But when these words came from Hu Hai's mouth, Zhao Gao didn't believe them at all.

If Hu Hai knew how to study on his own, it would be equivalent to saying "Prince Fusu supports Your Majesty in building the Afang Palace."

Facing Zhao Gao's gaze, Hu Hai nodded timidly.

Although Hu Hai was a prince, he was very afraid of Zhao Gao.

One reason is that Zhao Gao was his teacher.

The second reason was that his father, the emperor, believed in what Zhao Gao said.

If Zhao Gao said something bad about himself in front of his father, his father would definitely listen to Zhao Gao and punish him.

"Sir, the teacher knows you are lying to me."

Zhao Gao said calmly.

Hu Hai opened his mouth to explain, but Zhao Gao glanced over at him.

Hu Hai lowered his head and dared not speak any more.

Zhao Gao continued:

"Do you know what His Majesty has been busy with recently?"

Hu Hai shook his head and said:

"I don't know."

He really didn't know.

If I were afraid of my father, how could I take the initiative to find him, and how could I know what he was doing recently?

"you……"

Zhao Gao looked at Hu Hai with some disappointment.

Prince Hu Hai still wanted to fight for the throne. In his current condition, he was not even as good as the eldest princess, let alone Prince Fusu.

"My Lord, did you know that His Majesty just summoned the Meng Tian brothers, Wang Jian and his son, and Prime Minister Li Si?"

Zhao Gao said with a look of regret.

"do not know."

"Why did Father summon them?"

"Could it be that the Xiongnu have sent troops to Daqin?"

Hu Hai asked doubtfully.

Zhao Gao shook his head.

He himself doesn't really understand the specific situation.

Your Majesty suddenly summoned these people without explaining what was going on.

And he brought the eldest princess with him. The only thing that people can think of and guess is that incident. Zhao Gao originally wanted to tell Hu Hai.

But when the words came to his lips, Zhao Gao stopped.

After saying so much to Hu Hai, will Hu Hai care?

No matter how much you say, Hu Hai will not take it seriously.

"probably……"

Zhao Gao sighed secretly in his heart.

It’s better to forget about expecting Hu Hai to fight for the throne on his own.

You still have to rely on yourself.

However, Hu Hai's character is also beneficial to himself.

If I help Hu Hai to win the throne in the future, I can control him well.

By then, I will be second to none and above everyone else!

"Sir, I still have to go serve His Majesty. You can read the law later after you have eaten and drunk your fill."

Zhao Gao said.

"I know, I know! Go down now!"

Hu Hai waved his hand impatiently.

Zhao Gao nodded and left Hu Hai's room with something in mind.

Hu Hai watched Zhao Gao leave, and the drunkenness on his face disappeared in an instant.

Hu Hai looked gloomy, staring at the closed door, and murmured:
"Do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Only by restraining your edge can you achieve great things!"

"If I show it too obviously, won't I be unable to accomplish many things?"

After Hu Hai finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass again and drank it all.

He was drunken again.

He's not stupid.

It's just that at times like this, the better your performance is, the easier it is to attract attention.

Generals such as the Meng Tian brothers and Wang Jian and his son all supported their eldest brother Fusu.

If I am too outstanding and attract the favor of my father, will the Meng Yi brothers and Wang Jian father and son keep me?
Would they keep someone like me who could threaten their eldest brother's ascension to the throne?

Obviously, that's impossible.

Therefore, I can only hide myself so that no one will notice me and think I am not a threat.

This is the only way to do a lot of things in secret.

……

After receiving the summons from Qin Shihuang, Meng Tian and his companions soon met Qin Shihuang.

Zhao Gao originally wanted to stay in the house and listen to what Qin Shihuang wanted to talk to them about.

However, Ying Yinman got angry with him, so Qin Shihuang drove him out.

"Father, I don't like him."

"Just let Zhao Gao go!"

Ying Yinman pulled the dragon robe that Qin Shihuang had already changed back and spoke in a coquettish manner.

Zhao Gao felt a surge of hatred towards Ying Yinman, but he did not dare to show it.

"Oh, Father, please let him go!"

"Father..."

Ying Yinman continued to act coquettishly.

Qin Shihuang still loved his daughter.

He looked at Zhao Gao and said:

"Zhao Gao, please get out."

Although Zhao Gao was unhappy in his heart, he still kept a smile on his face.

"Here."

After Zhao Gao left, Qin Shihuang waved his hand to signal the eunuchs and palace maids in the room to go out as well.

After everyone left, Qin Shi Huang spoke slowly:

"My dear ministers, I have asked you to come here because I have something to tell you."

Meng Tian bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, are we going to attack the Huns?"

Meng Yi waved his fist and said:
"Your Majesty, as long as you give the order, I am willing to set out to attack the Xiongnu right now."

Wang Jian, who was already eighty years old, stroked his gray beard and said:
"General Meng, please don't get so excited."

"Let my son Wang Ben go to attack the Xiongnu."

"Why bother with a big fight? Let the two Mongolian generals go?"
