Daqin salted fish is cultivated, and the beginning is bound to the young Yingzheng

Chapter 223 Zhao Gao's Awakening

"Uncle Chen, how should we go back and meet His Royal Highness?"

A few middle-aged people looked sad.

Prince Dan, who was far away in the country of Yan, heard that their operation in Daqin against Li Lin was not going well, and he was furious.

He ordered them to go back to the country of Yan.

these people.

He knew Prince Dan's character.

So go back.

He will definitely be punished.

If you vote for Daqin.

Daqin will definitely not reuse them, after all,
In this era of fine work, there is no human rights.

It is the most shameless profession.

"Hey, His Royal Highness is eager for success, you are not a wise king."

Old Man Chen sighed.

He has no clue now, what about Li Lin?
Sorry.

Li Lin has fallen out of favor, and to the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Lin is basically no threat.

Although there may be a comeback.

But that's only possible.

after all.

Ying Zheng's current attitude is very clear.

No one should think about it at this time.

Touch Ying Zheng's bad luck.

"That's right, His Royal Highness is too anxious. If we can slow down a little bit, we will definitely not be as rash as last time and use the hands of Li Si and Wei Liao to frame Li Lin."

"Last time, we made a fuss and startled the snake, so that now no minister is willing to cooperate with us."

Old Man Chen shook his head.

Him.

It's heartbroken now.

To Li Lin.

He was really helpless, not to mention killing Li Lin, even if he made Li Lin a target, those Daqin courtiers would not bother to fight.

Why?

Isn't it because Ying Zheng's tactic of cold treatment is used well?
Even if these interested people want to provoke, they will not be able to provoke this long-planned conflict.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen, good news, great news!"

"Oh? What's the news?"

"There's good news from the palace, Zhao Gao, the order of the CRRC Mansion, has been granted the title of Xinzheng!"

"Xin Zheng Hou?"

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the dark-skinned man in front of him, "Wang Hu, what are you talking about? A harem eunuch has been named Marquis of Xinzheng? How is this possible?"

"Uncle Chen, I really didn't lie to you, it's true!"

"Really?"

"That's right, Zhao Gao wasn't an eunuch in the first place, he was just a courtier of a tyrant, but he was a member of Yingzheng's clan!"

"That's right, the old man was in a trance, and actually forgot about this. Zhao Gao's being named Marquis is nothing to say, after all, he is a son of the clan."

He thinks it makes sense.

in identity.

Zhao Gao's being named a marquis did not violate the laws of Daqin.

Nor does it violate the unspoken rules established by Daqin.

It's just that the tyrant Yingzheng is so eager to promote a CRRC mansion, Zhao Gao, why?
Is it.

He wants to reuse Zhao Gao?

"Uncle Chen, let's bring down Zhao Gao, so that even if we return to China, we will have some achievements."

"Take down Zhao Gao?"

Chen Ding was a little hesitant, he hesitated again and again.

Those frowns.

Loosen and tighter.

Tighten and loosen.

Under the expectation of everyone, he paced back and forth.

After a while, he suddenly asked, "Wang Hu, Zhao Gao has a very good relationship with Ying Zheng, right? Is he Ying Zheng's right-hand man?"

"That's right, it's the tyrant's black gloves. Not to mention how good the relationship with the tyrant is, and after Li Lin fell out of favor recently, Zhao Gao has obviously completely replaced Li Lin's previous position in Ying Zheng's mind."

"So, this Zhao Gao, we are going to get rid of it?"

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Liu, this Zhao Gao is Yingzheng's confidant, if we get rid of Zhao Gao, it will probably cause an irreparable blow to Yingzheng's next policy! Let's go back, His Royal Highness is not sure. He will hold us accountable for our mistakes, but reward us instead!"

"It makes sense."

Liu Shan, who was watched by Wang Hu, nodded and persuaded Chen Ding, "Uncle Chen, why don't we get rid of Zhao Gao."

"Well, well, since both of you have this opinion, the old man also agrees to get rid of Zhao Gao first, but, do other people have any opinions?"

"Uncle Chen, we have no objection."

"We just want to go back and reunite with our family as soon as possible. If we can't kill Li Lin now, we can kill Zhao Gao!"

"Yes, kill Zhao Gao!"

"it is good!"

The dozen or so people in front of Chen Ding met with this attitude, so he naturally had to obey everyone's opinions.

He is also very clear in his heart.

Killing a Zhao Gao is definitely much better than returning empty-handed.

At least.

Even if His Royal Highness wants to punish them, he will not punish them too severely.

However, just when they decided to kill Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao in the CRRC Mansion Commander's Mansion.

But he was still reviewing official documents.

"Congratulations brother, congratulations brother!"

As soon as Zhao Cheng heard that his elder brother had been promoted to a noble, he immediately entered the palace excitedly.

Walked into the CRRC Government Office.

Looking at the hall, Zhao Gao, who was dealing with government affairs, couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Zhao Cheng, are you here?"

"Brother, I heard that you were conferred a title, I wonder if it's true?"

"Of course it is true. Our family never thought that the king would give me the Marquis of Xinzheng this morning."

"Brother is humble!"

"Hey, let's do things for the king, as long as we do everything according to the king's wishes. As for these vain fame and small profits, let's not get too excited, keep calm and prevent too many enemies."

Zhao Gao didn't show any overly complacent expression on his face.

Bestow a title.

As if to him.

It's like the little things that don't matter.

This made Zhao Cheng a little reconciled, "Brother, you have already been honored, why do you still have such a straight face?"

"Success, sometimes, things that look happy may not necessarily be happy. This conferment is a reminder. I am now the first one among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to be conferred with the title after the king took charge."

Zhao Gaoyu said earnestly, "Do you think that other people think so? Do you think that I, Zhao Gao, have been favored by the king alone? Then they will be jealous of me, right? And those who have done meritorious service on the front line The military group, what do they think?"

"But what does this have to do with your happiness?"

"We are no longer like nobody in the past. Now our every move is under the eyes of others. We have to restrain our emotions a little, so as to maintain the long-lasting favor."

Zhao Gao is well versed in the way of life in officialdom.

Know when to be happy and when not to be happy.

This is a sensitive time.

If it is before Li Lin falls out of favor or before Lu Buwei dies.

He is happy when he is happy.

No big deal at all.

after all.

All eyes were on the two of them.

"Oh, this is really useless."

Zhao Cheng shook his head, and walked out of CRRC Mansion with a displeased face.

Zhao Gao smiled.

He also felt quite useless.

But his intuition told him that at such a time, he should not be complacent and rampant.

how many people.

Everything happened right here.

pity.

No matter how careful and steady he is.

There's always someone who wants to move him.

This is not.

The Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Si was in the study, together with Ting Wei Nei Shi Teng, Yushi doctor Feng Jie, and doorman Wei Liao.

Talking around the fire.

They were discussing together that Zhao Gao was suddenly awarded a title by Ying Zheng this morning.

"What's the king's intention behind this move? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with the fact that you and I meddled in the tax affairs before, so he deliberately bestowed Zhao Gao with the honor of judging him to check and balance the current court situation?"

"It's possible that the king is a smart person and won't do things aimlessly. This time, the sudden conferment on Zhao Gao may be due to the previous incident, which made the king unhappy."

"not necessarily."

"Oh? What unique insights does Mr. Wei Liao have?"

As soon as Nei Shiteng and Feng Jie heard Wei Liao's voice, they immediately looked at Wei Liao.

Wei Liao clasped his hands tightly and knelt on the ground.

Indifferently glanced at the chess game on the table, couldn't help but took out a chess piece from it.

placed in the center of the chessboard.

"This is?"

Nesten, Feng Jie, and even Li Si felt baffled.

"Mr. Wei Liao, can you clarify what you mean?"

"Could it be that the king is trying to make a fool of himself? He deliberately promoted Zhao Gao to attract our attention, but behind his back he wants to reuse other people?"

Just as they were guessing.

Wei Liao laughed.

"I'm afraid you are thinking too complicatedly. The old man thinks that the king's move is meaningless, and it is even a bad move."

"Stinky chess?"

"Yes, look, where is Zhao Gao?"

"The harem. Isn't he the order of the CRRC government?"

"Your Majesty Tingwei is right. The CRRC Mansion Order is in charge of the harem. At this time, the king suddenly promoted Zhao Gao's title. Where do you think Zhao Gao's influence will be affected?"

"Or the harem?"

Nei Shiteng widened his eyes, looked at Wei Liao, and suddenly realized, "Yes, what Mr. Wei Liao said is right, the king indeed bestowed the Marquis of Xinzheng on Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao, who was bestowed, actually The power is still only in charge of the harem, in fact, it still doesn't have much interest with us."

"If you say that, then Zhao Gao is nothing to worry about?"

"Mr. Wei Liao, why did your majesty choose to play this stinky move?"

Pairs of eyes longing for the truth,
He kept looking at Wei Liao.

Wei Liao shook his head helplessly, he didn't know what Ying Zheng's real purpose was.

just.

As a chess player who is used to playing chess, he would not make such a simple mistake.

Could it be that Ying Zheng really likes Zhao Gao?

Should not be ah.

I really like Zhao Gao, so I shouldn't just reward him with a title.

He is not promoted to an official position or increased in power.

"The old man thinks that maybe the king simply wants to give Zhao Gao a title. The truth here should not be as complicated as we thought."

"Just give Zhao Gao a title?"

Li Si shook his head, "It shouldn't be, if Zhao Gao was only given a title, it would never be so sudden, and Zhao Gao himself didn't know about it beforehand. This is not in line with the king's daily style."

"Then what is the prime minister's opinion?"

"The truth is, I still think it was because of the previous taxation that the king complained to us. Then when he saw Zhao Gao, he added a title to him by the way, and took the opportunity to beat us."

"Yeah, if you say that, then all logic will work."

"Yes, I think so too."

"Ugh!"

Wei Liao took a sip of water, he was very sad.

Obviously.

He himself said that kind of speculation was impossible, but unexpectedly, these people would not listen to him.

Don't make connections with unreasonable delusions.

The night gradually opened.

Just when Nei Shiteng and Feng Jie were saying their goodbyes.

Sudden.

A carriage appeared at the gate of Li Si's mansion.

"Who is here?"

Li Si was at a loss, he obviously only invited Nei Shiteng and Feng Jie today.

Who is the owner of this carriage?

after awhile.

It was a long time after Nestern and Feng Jie had left.

The owner of the carriage.

Only then slowly opened the car curtain.

Li Si raised his head and took a closer look.

Yeah!

It turned out to be him!

Early the next morning.

Li Lin prepared a plan against Zhao Gao.

He knew that Zhao Gao was a hypocrite.

and so.

He planned to enter the palace and look for Zhao Ji.

Let her help him.

but.

Just walked to the gate of the palace.

The guards guarding the gates of the palace.

He threw Qin Ge in front of Li Lin.

"Why are you stopping me? I want to go to the palace to find the Queen Mother!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, there is an order from the king that Mr. Li and dogs are not allowed to enter."

"what?"

Li Lin jumped up immediately, "Did the king really say that? He said neither I nor the dog can go in?"

"Yes!"

"hateful!"

He gritted his teeth and looked at the guards with completely different eyes.

For a while.

He really has nothing to do with these guards.

After all, this is Ying Zheng's order.

"Damn! Damn!"

He stomped his feet angrily, then stepped into the carriage, "Go home."

"promise!"

"tatter"

The sound of a carriage soon rang outside the palace gate.

An angry Li Lin.

Lying in the carriage.

The whole head rested on Lian'er's lap.

"Young master, you, don't be unhappy. In the past few days, the slaves have never seen you happy."

"Well, the king has calculated that I will ask Zhao Ji for help, so, in order to maintain fairness, he simply banned me from entering the palace."

Li Lin's lazy voice.

talking and talking.

I didn't have much strength to continue talking.

Him.

Just want to sleep now.

Last night, it took him a lot of effort to help brother Li Xin and take care of his widowed Meng's sister-in-law at home.

Why didn't the canal in the sister-in-law's courtyard not be dug well?

Ugh.

So that when it rains, there will be more water.

Not to help clear it up.

I'm really sorry.

"My lord, you should stop fussing with people like Zhao Gao. What about the sister-in-law at home has not been dealt with yet."

"Yes, there is too much water in my sister-in-law's place. I have to bring someone to change the canal when I get home next time."

"Hey, the terrain of our house is obviously so high, I didn't expect that there would be so much water in the west courtyard."

"It's mostly a matter of design."

Li Lin shook his head, thinking about the layout of the West Courtyard.

indeed.

The design of the west courtyard pays too much attention to aligning with the east courtyard.

but.

This alignment led to an upward ramp outside the west courtyard, so that accumulated water would flow down the ramp automatically.

This creates waterlogging problems.

earlier years.

The problem didn't pop out obviously.

It is because the outer courtyard wall has not been demolished.

later.

When Li Xin married Mengshi, in order to make it more beautiful, he tore down the courtyard wall of the west courtyard.

So that these years have accumulated.

As a result, the water accumulation problem broke out intensively during this period.

Get off the carriage.

Li Lin led the people to the backyard.

"Uncle, why are you here again?"

Meng Shi looked at Li Lin who was becoming more and more heroic in front of him, and couldn't help feeling ashamed.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to completely solve the problem of too much water here."

"Uncle, do you have a solution?"

"Ok!"

Li Lin nodded, "Li Er, Li San, you continue to dig and dig through the bottom."

"promise!"

soon.

Most of the ground was dug up.

"Lin'er, is it really okay for you to do this?"

"Don't worry, Erniang, it's okay. The problem with the water here is that the ground here is too low. If I use the terrain outside to make a pool and throw the excess soil in the courtyard, the terrain will be affected by human interference. Isn't the problem solved?"

"correct."

Montessori nodded.

Although Erniang and Sanniang couldn't understand Li Lin's words, seeing his seriousness, they still agreed bitterly.

in the palace.

Ying Zheng listened to the report of the second dragon and the third dragon.

In my heart.

The confidence of Zhao Gao's survival has increased a bit.

This Li Lin.

As long as the widow restrains you and does not give Zhao Gao the opportunity to slander, Zhao Gao will use his cautious personality during this period of time.

Definitely won't make too many enemies.

When the time came, Zhao Gao passed the assessment.

The widow will see what else you can say, Li Lin, and tell you to make up lies to deceive the widow, hum!
It is said that the second generation of Daqin who is widowed died.

how can that be possible?
However, the title of emperor is not bad.

After the widows have unified the six countries, use this title of "Emperor".
