A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Zhiyu returned to the house.

"Why don't you eat? You don't have to wait for me."

Zhao Gao was still a little timid, sitting at the desk at a loss.

Zhiyu could see his panic and uneasiness, and instead of rushing for him to return to his former self, Zhiyu sat down opposite him and poured a glass of wine.

"I am not in a hurry to return to the palace today. You can slowly tell me how you have spent the past ten years."

Zhao Gao was hunched over. After hearing what the young master said, tears rolled down his face again. He wiped away his tears, then picked up his chopsticks and ate happily!

"It seems that not only have I had a bad life these past few years, but so have you."

Zhiyu drank a small drink and said slowly.

This conversation lasted for a long time, until the sun had set, and Zhao Gao finished pouring out all his sufferings over the years.

"Young Master, I'm really sorry for taking you so long and listening to my nonsense."

Zhiyu's listening did not mean anything perfunctory, and he did not interrupt to comfort him. He just listened silently, watching Zhao Gao wipe his tears while complaining. It was not until he finished saying everything he wanted to say that Zhiyu spoke.

"I didn't expect that we would see each other again ten years later. Maybe there is an unexplainable fate between you and me..."

"Why are you looking for me, young master? Do you still want me to enter the palace to serve you? I may not be able to enter the palace. The assassins who chased me back then probably came out of the palace."

"Do you know who wants to kill you?"

"Not sure? You must have killed me in the first place. Such cruelty is definitely not an ordinary enemy, but I...have not made any enemies in the palace! It is too exaggerated to send killers just because of trivial matters."

Until this moment, Zhiyu really believed that the person who sent the assassin to kill Zhao Gao was probably his mother.

But why? Why must I kill him just because of his name?

Zhiyu did not tell the truth, but instead said

"I do have something to do with you, but... I haven't made up my mind about whether to do it yet. I hope to find someone who can be loyal to me wholeheartedly. After thinking about it, you are the only one..."

"what's up?"

Seeing how distressed he was, Zhao Gao wiped his mouth and asked

"Is it...a matter in the palace? It's about the emperor?"

Zhiyu nodded

"Something happened in the palace recently. People outside may not know it yet. My father was so angry with Fusu that he became ill and was in a coma for several days. He just recovered a few days ago. Because of this, Fusu was also Sent to attack the Huns."

"Your Majesty...is the prince angry? This, this..."

This incident was so outrageous that Zhao Gao was stunned. The prince, who had always been gentle and polite, could actually make the emperor faint? !

"You also know that I have not been favored by my father since I was a child. The people in this palace tend to follow his influence and naturally they will not treat me well. After this incident, I thought that if I always keep such a low profile and have no power of my own, what will happen to me? Don't you want to always be so inferior to others? Among the courtiers in this palace, who has ever seen me as a young master? They just think that the emperor doesn't like me, and they don't need to fear me. Over the years... I've seen the hypocrisy of their power, which is disgusting. of!"

Zhao Gao was silent for a moment and then said

"The intrigues in the palace are beyond the reach of ordinary people like me. If the young master wants me to help you deal with those court ministers, I'm afraid...I'm afraid there is nothing I can do."

"I know……"

Zhiyu took a sip of wine and said slowly

"You know, Fusu is now the crown prince, and he will naturally inherit the throne from now on, but can I... also give it a try? Why did he lose all the benefits?! He has been growing up since he was a child. Living a life full of stars, his father not only made him the prince, but also assigned Meng Tian to his command, and even gave him a military power of 300,000 yuan! He even kissed Li Si to pave the way for him. Tell me... ...Are you so partial? What do I have? I don’t even have a single soldier! My father, the emperor, and my mother didn’t even allow me to get close to the ministers, for fear that I would cause trouble and disrupt Fusu’s path to the throne!”

Speaking of being angry, Zhiyu drank a few more glasses of wine and said angrily.

"How can I bear it?!"

When Zhiyu said this, Zhao Gao already understood three points. He was not surprised or scared. He just drank water silently and planned a way out for his future in the shortest possible time.

The young master in front of him looks like he is going to do something earth-shattering. As long as he succeeds and does not fail, success will lead to a meteoric rise. Failure means death without a whole body. Zhao Gao knows the stakes.

Do you want to follow along? of course yes! Zhao Gao didn't even hesitate for a second. How could this miserable life be so unlucky? Just die? What's the fear of death? This half-dead look now makes life worse than death! Besides, the young master is his only connection. If he doesn’t rely on him to achieve success, who else can he rely on? !

"I probably understand what the young master wants to say, but what you want to do is not so easy to do."

"Of course I know!"

Zhiyu slammed the wine glass on the table, showing a bit of anger.

"A few days ago, I went to win over Li Si, but he was unmoved and even made sarcastic remarks. This old guy is smart and will naturally not surrender to me, a little young master with nothing. I can understand. But... I have a big plan. If Li Si can help, wouldn't it be even more powerful and more convenient?"

Zhao Gao shook his head and sighed

"Young Master, your plan went in the wrong direction from the beginning."

"Oh?"

Zhiyu was stunned

"how do I say this."

"Think about it, your father is such a powerful and majestic monarch, but Li Si has been able to sit firmly in the prime minister's position for ten years. Which major event of the Qin Kingdom did he not participate in? Destroy the six kingdoms and modify the laws of Qin. , issued the same text, the same carriage, unified the weights and measures decision-making, what matter did the emperor not ask for his opinion? What a shrewd and capable man Li Si was, he could coax the emperor into submission, and you still reasoned with him, you How can we win by trying to reason with these ministers who have eyes on the top of their heads and can tell a lot of things when they open their mouths?"

This makes sense! It suddenly dawned on me, clearing the clouds and revealing the sun.

"Then...do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Gao smiled and said

"Young Master, you may not understand that if we want to do this big thing, we must not reason with these ministers, because you can't convince them at all. Since you want to win over Li Si, it is not impossible, but..."

Zhao Gao suddenly showed a somewhat dark look

"We can't come in the open, you know? These people who value official career are most afraid of getting dirty. The various feats Li Si has done now can ensure that he will be remembered forever. We have to come in secret! This is not the right way. , we have to go sideways, do you understand what I mean?"
