Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 374 Arriving in Linzi
From Xianyang to Linzi, a distance of thousands of miles, the entire east tour team traveled for nearly two months.

Although he knew that Qi County was in a state of turmoil at this time, but along the way, there was no such thing as interception and killing of Xiaoxiao's generation as imagined.

More than 30 miles away from Linzi City, the sky was covered by flags, billowing smoke and dust, amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, an endless motorcade slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Here we come!" The people who had been waiting for most of the day let out a burst of exclamation.

People from various aristocratic families, who were nobles, unconsciously took care of their neat and tidy clothes one after another, and they all wanted to leave a good impression in front of the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Chen Dao, the governor of Qi County, and all the great families are waiting for the holy driver." Zhao Gao's voice sounded from outside the carriage.

In the carriage, Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, but instead asked, "Where are the prince and others?"

In Zhao Gao's eyes, there was an unknown look, then he bowed his waist and continued to answer: "The prince is still in Sanghai City."

"Songhai?"

Ying Zheng groaned, but couldn't hear the reaction.Zhao Gao outside the car still lowered his head, waiting respectfully for Ying Zheng's order.

"Hasn't the crown prince persuaded Xun Kuang to join the empire? Why are you still staying in Songhai?"

Zhao Gao's expression moved, and a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth.The voice still said as usual: "The prince seems to be persuading Mr. Xun Kuang to come to Linzi..."

"Where's Li Si?"

"Left Prime Minister is also accompanying the prince in Songhai."

Inside the carriage, silence was restored again.After a while, Ying Zheng's order came again: "Order the army to enter the city directly, and I will meet them in the palace."

"Here..." Zhao Gaogong cupped his hands and replied.

Standing quietly at the side, Zhao Gao watched Ying Zheng's dragon car slowly disappear into the distance.There was nothing abnormal in the pair of eyes.

As Yingzheng's close attendant, Zhao Gao's status is naturally extremely lofty in the eyes of outsiders.Most of the memorials that Yingzheng reviews every day will pass through the hands of Zhao Gao.

Since that night, even though Zhao Gao was warned by Ying Zheng and was terrified himself, power is always attractive.

Especially in the current situation where he can't achieve high and low, facing power, he has an even more urgent desire.

It is impossible for Fusu not to have received the letter when Yingzheng visited Qi County in the east, and Zhao Gao, who knew Yingzheng well, could not be so stupid as to hide Fusu's reply privately.

However, although it cannot be seized, it is still possible to use the power in hand to make Yingzheng invisible.

Yingzheng reviewed countless government affairs every day, and most of these government affairs were sorted out by Zhao Gao, and Fusu's reply was naturally suppressed by Zhao Gao at the end.

Even if Yingzheng finds out in the future, Zhao Gao can also excuse that Fusu's letterhead is not as important as other government affairs and not be implicated in any way.

"teacher."

A soft call brought Zhao Gao back to his senses.

"Young Master Eighteen." Zhao Gao turned around, but saw Hu Hai standing respectfully behind him. After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Gao also bowed respectfully to Hu Hai.

"Linzi is just around the corner. Suwen Linzi is a famous city in the east of the Guandong, a place of wealth. I want to go out and play with my brothers, and I want to report to my father. I hope the teacher can inform..."

"My lord, now that you are in Linzi City, Your Majesty still has many things to deal with. If you want to go out and have fun, you might as well report to the queen." Zhao Gao said with a formulaic smile.

A trace of doubt flashed in Hu Hai's yellow and blue eyes.However, he nodded immediately and said, "Thank you teacher for reminding me."

"My lord, you're being polite..." The satisfaction in Zhao Gao's eyes became a little stronger.

Zhao Gao, who had been in Zongxue for more than a month, became more and more satisfied with the young master in front of him.Not only smart, but also extremely scheming.

Not only is he very harmonious with the princes and grandchildren in the Zongxue, but also almost unconsciously, it has affected everyone's attitude towards Fusu.

Zongxue was originally a place for young people, and Fusu, as a crown prince, is now serving the emperor's order, which will inevitably make other princes jealous.Hu Hai, on the other hand, took advantage of these jealousies just right.

Presumably, when Fusu returns to these young masters again, he will find out.Within a few months of his departure, the many sons headed by him will faintly separate him from the outside.

"In addition, although Linzi is guarded by the imperial army, there are also many rebels. If you want to go out to play, in addition to bringing enough guards, you need to let the county guard Chen Dao know." Zhao Gao left in Huhai Before that, he gave another warning with a smile.

"Thank you teacher..." Hu Hai nodded and said.

"Qi County, what a place of right and wrong..." Zhao Gao murmured in a voice that he could only hear, "I hope the eighteenth son can grasp the opportunity."

……

In the center of Linzi City, a group of huge palaces and towers have already been cleaned up.

More than [-] soldiers and eunuchs, in just one hour, made the Qi Palace, which originally only had dozens of people sporadically, full of popularity again.

"Chen, Chen Dao, governor of Qi County, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor!" The towering old Chen Dao at the head saluted Ying Zheng with a trembling voice.

Behind him, many other aristocrats from Qi County also knelt down and bowed in a slightly cautious manner.

Waiting for most of the day made these old people, whose average age is over 50 years old, look a little tired.However, even though he was tired, there was still excitement in his eyes.

They were overjoyed to see Ying Zheng, who was at the center of imperial power.It even swept away the fear of the empire sweeping them away.

If the empire really wanted to deal with them, it definitely didn't need Ying Zheng to do it himself.Now that Yingzheng has arrived in Qi County, even for the sake of Qi County's stability, it is absolutely impossible to deal with them in a short time.

"Chen Qing, two months ago, I heard that under the rule of Linzi, there was a gathering of rebels. I don't know, is there such a thing?" People are flat, but they ask about the farm.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's because I'm not strict in governing, and I'm pleading guilty." Chen Dao lowered his head again, and said sincerely.

He is the head of the Qi County family, and he knows in his heart that Ying Zheng at this time will definitely not really punish him.At most, it is accountability.

However, what Ying Zheng said next shocked him.

"Remove you from the post of county guard, and the county lieutenant will temporarily replace you, so as to make an example."

"Minister, obey..." As if someone had blocked his throat, only a few people around could hear his voice weakly.

The reason why Chen Dao is confident that Ying Zheng will not do anything to him is because he is now the head of the Qi County family.However, the person promoted by Yingzheng is also a member of the Qi County family.Moreover, the strength is second only to him.

Now that the original county lieutenant has gained power, won't he threaten Chen Dao next?People's hearts are unpredictable, even if the county lieutenant has been his subordinate for more than ten years, it is hard to guarantee that one day he will bite him back.

What Ying Zheng said next, Chen Dao had no time to care about it.What he is concerned about now is how to stabilize the Chen family's position in the family of Qi County.
