Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 357 Hu Hai
At night, the sky like a thick cloth shrouded the entire city of Xianyang in darkness.

As usual, even though it was late at night, the center of Xianyang Palace was still lit.

The bent over eunuch took away the bamboo slips that Ying Zheng had corrected, and replaced them with unapproved bamboo slips again.Going on like this, they have already become accustomed to it.

"Your Majesty, this is the briefing from His Highness the Crown Prince from Sanghai yesterday." Zhao Gao's voice sounded in Ying Zheng's ear, holding a roll of sealed bamboo slips in his hand.

Ying Zheng put the bamboo slips aside, stretched out his hand, and took the briefing from Zhao Gao.

"My son, Fusu, respectfully ask Father, Emperor Sheng'an... The Little Sage's Village has opened its gates, and it is in front of us. Gu Fusu understands that all the rebellious forces in Qi County are ready to make moves against Little Sage's Village..."

There are not many things that can be recorded in a roll of bamboo slips, but it can still be seen that Fusu's actions in Qi County are quite smooth.

"Zhao Gao, how many government affairs are there?" Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and asked.

Although at this time Ying Zheng didn't need to rest for a long time, even if he didn't rest for a few days, it wouldn't affect his body.However, reviewing government affairs is still a labor-intensive thing after all.

In particular, Yingzheng often spends a whole day doing government affairs.If things go on like this, even if the body can bear it, Ying Zheng will inevitably feel a little tired mentally.

"Return to Your Majesty, not much more." Zhao Gao said with a bow.

"Father..."

However, at this moment, in the always silent hall, there was a crisp child's voice.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, this sounded innocent voice made Ying Zheng somewhat disgusted.

"Your Majesty, the Eighteenth Prince is here..."

Zhao Gao, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, did not see the trace of disgust on Ying Zheng's face.Instead, he cheerfully whispered in Ying Zheng's ear.

That's right, the child in front of him is none other than the eighteenth son Hu Hai.Qin II, Hu Hai, who brought Qin from prosperity to perdition.

The two-color eyes, one yellow and one basket, reminded Ying Zheng of all kinds of funerals in his previous life.

Now that the real culprit that caused the Qin State to decline from prosperity to its demise has already been born.Ying Zheng also considered whether to let this child disappear completely, once and for all.

Although the so-called tiger's poison does not eat its sons, it is related to the life and death of the entire empire, not to mention a son, even the entire Yingshi family, Yingzheng will not be soft.

However, Ying Zheng did not make a move in the end.The reason is very simple. Since Hu Hai was still born, it means that the current empire is still in the destiny arranged by the heavens.

Forcing a change at this time, if it attracts the divine punishment like ten years ago, let alone ordinary people, even Ying Zheng is not sure that he can get through it smoothly.

Instead of taking risks, Ying Zheng still prepared his plan step by step.

Hu Hai rubbed his eyes lightly, looking drowsy.It looks like he is only six or seven years old, which makes people not feel the slightest sense of vigilance.

"It's so late, why don't you rest?" Ying Zheng didn't continue to review government affairs, but looked at Hu Hai below and asked.

"I don't know where the people in the servant's palace are going. It's so dark that I'm a little scared." Hu Hai stared at Ying Zheng with watery eyes, looking like a child.

It has to be said that at such a young age, Hu Hai has gradually become aware of competing for favor.However, at a young age, he is still a little immature after all.

Qin ruled the country with strict laws, and there was no room for deviation in Xianyang Palace.

Every place where a son or concubine lives, no matter whether he is favored or not, there will be someone guarding him all night.

The dereliction of duty as Hu Hai said is basically impossible.

"Zhao Gao, send the Eighteenth Prince back to the bedroom!" Ying Zheng turned around and said to Zhao Gao.

Hu Hai blinked.He got up and ran here in the middle of the night, of course he didn't want to be sent back to the bedroom by Ying Zheng so soon.

"Father, don't you want to rest?" Hu Hai asked with a concerned expression.

Ying Zheng picked up the bamboo slips that had not been reviewed yet, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I still have government affairs..."

"Then can Hu Hai stay here with Father?" Hu Hai asked again.

Ying Zheng waved the brush in his hand lightly, but he didn't answer Hu Hai's question right away.

"Father, where did eldest brother go?" Seeing that Ying Zheng ignored him, Hu Hai changed the subject again and said, "Elder brother is not here, and there is no one to play with Hu Hai in the sect."

There was a slight tremor in Hu Hai's voice.It was as if he had been wronged in Zongxue.

Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at Hu Hai who was about to cry, but his eyes remained calm as usual.

"Zongxue is a place to teach young masters to read. Is it a place to play?"

"Father forgives the sin, my son knows his mistake..." Hu Hai was slightly stunned for a moment, and then immediately admitted his mistake.

"Zhao Gao, what are you waiting for?" Ying Zheng said with some dissatisfaction.

"Here!" Zhao Gao, who was standing aside at first, immediately bowed down and said in salute.

"Young master, your majesty is most afraid of being disturbed when dealing with government affairs, you should go back first." Zhao Gao walked to Hu Hai and said softly.

Hu Hai blinked, glanced at Zhao Gao, then cupped his hands, and said to Ying Zheng: "Father, please rest earlier, and my son will leave."

Among the silent palace roads, Zhao Gao walked ahead, holding a lantern in his hand, as if he was waiting for Hu Hai, Zhao Gao did not walk fast.

"Has Eunuch Zhao been in charge of the emperor's daily life?" Suddenly, Hu Hai, who was behind Zhao Gao, asked aloud.

"Of course." Zhao Gao said with a gentle smile on his face.

"However, Hu Hai listened to the Zongxue teacher and was in charge of the emperor's daily life. Shouldn't he be the order of the CRRC government?" Hu Hai stared with wide eyes, looking curious.

Zhao Gao paused for a moment, then smiled again and said, "My lord, I don't know, the CRRC prefect is in charge of the dispatch of the palace, and is responsible for your Majesty's daily expenses."

"Oh." Hu Hai nodded if he realized something, but asked curiously again: "Since Eunuch Zhao is also in charge of the emperor's daily life, why doesn't the emperor let Eunuch Zhao be the order of the CRRC government?"

After Zhao Gao was silent for a moment, his voice no longer returned to the gentleness before, and he said flatly: "Zhao Gao's ability is not enough to be the CRRC government order..."

As soon as Zhao Gao's words fell, Hu Hai said with a hint of surprise: "But, Hu Hai thinks Eunuch Zhao is very suitable!"

"Father is diligent in administration, every day after midnight, if there is no Eunuch Zhao, I think Father's body will not be able to bear it. Shouldn't Eunuch Zhao be the order of the CRRC government?" Hu Hai said again.

Everyone loves to hear good words, even people like Zhao Gao who have been around Ying Zheng for a long time are no exception.

"My son won the prize..."

"If I were the emperor father, I would definitely let Eunuch Zhao be the order of the CRRC government!" Hu Hai said firmly.

Zhao Gao held the hand of the lantern, trembled slightly, turned his head, and looked down at the youngest young master in front of him.

Hu Hai's previous hints were obvious enough, but Zhao Gao still couldn't believe that the young master in front of him actually had such ambitions.

"No, no!" Suddenly, Hu Hai shook his head again.

"Eunuch Zhao is such a loyal and hard-working person, even if he is a minister of the court, Hu Hai has never heard of it. In Hu Hai's opinion, Eunuch Zhao is enough to be the prime minister of the court!"
