Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 8 The Turmoil in Xianyang City

On the second day, Yingzheng summoned the left and right ministers late at night, and made a decision on the matter, which spread in the power circle of Daqin.

There is no small matter when it comes to the emperor.

Now that the world is preliminarily settled, everything is waiting to be done, and all government orders are passed on from Xianyang Palace.

The top three existences in Daqin had a movement overnight, and everyone was eagerly looking forward to being given a job. With a candidate, everyone was naturally looking forward to the fact that this big piece of stuffed pie would fall. On whose head.

He is the emperor's advisor during the matter. Although he has little power and ability, it is unusual to be able to follow the emperor to give advice at any time.

Even if he is just the deputy of Zhong Changshi, this is something that countless forces covet.

On the outskirts of Xianyang, Hu Hai, the eighteenth son of the emperor, was getting up under the service of his beautiful servants.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, followed by a personal attendant who broke into the inner room without notice and knelt down.

"My lord, the big thing is not good. Last night, His Majesty summoned the left and right ministers and said that it was for the position in the matter, and the candidate was chosen!"

Hu Hai was already unhappy because of the chaotic entry of his entourage, but when he knew what his entourage was, his face became even more gloomy.

"Let's be clear, who is the position in the matter? The father, the left minister, or the right minister?"

The personal attendant did not notice Hu Hai's face at this time. He only heard Hu Hai's unhappy tone and hurriedly continued to report.

"My lord, it is the news from Mr. Zhao that His Majesty has chosen the candidate. It will be announced in the early court. It is said that it is His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

"What?" Hu Hai's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't control his emotions anymore, he pushed away the beautiful maid who was serving beside him, "Say it again, who is it?"

"Yes, it's His Highness the Ninth Prince!" Only then did the attendant notice Hu Hai's expression, he was very aware of Hu Hai's temperament, and the attendant suddenly became trembling.

"That bastard's bastard, my father is so confused, how could he be entrusted to Shizhong?"

Hu Hai's mentality exploded, and he stared fiercely at the entourage kneeling at his feet, as if choosing someone to devour.

He really couldn't figure out how a prince who was raised in the palace outside the palace and was never seen, could ascend to heaven in one day?
If it were anyone else, he would have thought about it, but he had never been regarded as an opponent. Hu Hai didn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

The attendants became even more nervous when they saw this, but they had to say, "My lord, Lord Zhao sent his trusted aide to report this matter, and it will be made known to the world in the morning. Lord Zhao means that your lord, please be careful." Your Highness."

A look of madness flashed across Hu Hai's eyes.

He understood what Zhao Gao meant. Hu Hai tried his best to regain his composure, and then asked, "What did the people who came here say?"

Seeing that Hu Hai was no longer excited, he followed the person Zhao Gao sent here, and relayed everything he said.

The madness in Hu Hai's eyes became more and more intense. He really didn't expect that Zhao Yi, who had always been quiet, would choose to jump out at this time.

"The other person said that Mr. Zhao found out that before His Majesty summoned the left and right ministers, he came back from outside the palace."

The attendant paused for a moment, and then said: "Yes, Mrs. Qiongzhi's place has been lit all night."

Hu Hai's eye sockets tightened slightly, and he could tell from these details that Zhao Yi was probably not the only one who was working hard behind his back, and Mrs. Qiongzhi also poured ecstasy soup on her father!
The entourage seemed to have sensed the murderous intent in Hu Hai's eyes, and couldn't help but said: "My lord, before the announcement is made, why not..."

When he said this, he made an owl gesture to Hu Hai, and a cold light flashed in Hu Hai's tightened eyes.

Seeing this, I was stunned for a while, and then felt my whole body tense.

"Lord, spare my life..."

"Shh-"

As a cold light passed by, dirty blood splattered, the beautiful servant girl screamed, and a dagger appeared in Hu Hai's hand at some point.

"Dangling—" Hu Hai threw away the dagger casually, and glanced coldly at the corpse dragged out by his servants.

"After following Gu for so long, he still said such stupid things, asking Gu to assassinate Lao Jiu now, isn't it giving someone a handle?"

On the other side, the right minister Feng Quji sat opposite the former prime minister Wang Wan, and they were silent for a while.

Wang Wan was idle at home because of his defeat in the political struggle with Li Si, but he was still concerned about the trend of the government. Feng Quji was his student, and the two had always met secretly.

"Teacher, students are increasingly unable to understand His Majesty's deeds." Feng Quji had a headache on his face.

"Our Majesty, I'm afraid it's really a big game of chess." Wang Wan smiled slightly: "First, the county system, and now there is no crown prince, and now it's coming again. In chess, what is the role."

"That's right." Feng Quji sighed: "The students originally thought that the young master Fusu was the best candidate for the crown prince, but now His Majesty has suddenly pushed His Highness Ninth Prince to the table, and even assumed an important position in the matter..."

"Li Si must be very disappointed." Wang Wan interrupted Feng Quji with a smile, "Quji, why do you think His Majesty is like this?"

Feng Quji looked solemn, "Students don't know this, but His Majesty asked the students to quickly investigate Shu. Logically speaking, this is what Heibingtai is supposed to do. Even if he wanted to investigate, it was Li Si who went to investigate, but he arranged it for students, teacher , what do you think..."

Wang Wan smiled meaningfully but said nothing.

As the former prime minister, although Wang Wan is not in the center, everything inside and outside Xianyang City cannot escape his eyes.

"Whatever your Majesty wants you to do, just do it well and don't speculate on your superiors' intentions. Otherwise, teacher, my fate now will be yours tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Wang Wan poured cold water on Feng Quji, and Feng Quji frowned suddenly. Seeing this, Wang Wan smiled but said nothing.

Even if it is a teacher-student relationship, the status between Wang Wan and Feng Quji is no longer equal.

Some things can be said, but if you talk too much, sometimes it will backfire.

Apparently Feng Quji didn't take his teacher's words seriously, so after he left the palace, he thought about it and decided to go to the palace to face the saint.

But when he came to the gate of the palace, he unexpectedly met Zhao Gao, the CRRC Commander who walked out of the palace gate with a gloomy face.

"Master Zhao, this is..." Feng Quji has always been very polite to the celebrity around Emperor Qin.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao politely cupped his hands at Feng Quji, "Your Majesty will not see anyone today."

Feng Quji could easily understand the hidden meaning behind Zhao Gao's words.

Zhao Gao's status beside Yingzheng was extremely high, otherwise, how could this big man who was in charge of Emperor Cheyu of the CRRC Mansion say that he couldn't even see Yingzheng's face?

Could it be that it was also because of the relationship between His Highness Ninth Prince Zhao Yi?

"What about His Royal Highness..." Feng Quji asked tentatively, but Zhao Gao's face became even more gloomy in an instant.

"The decree has been promulgated, but His Majesty also added one more thing. His Highness the Ninth Prince does not need to be around at all times..."

Hearing this, Feng Quji's heart was shocked.
