The weather has turned colder.

Xianyang City has not been affected much.

There are still people coming and going in the streets and alleys in the city, but compared to the past, there are a lot less people.

Zhao's House.

Rest today.

After Zhao Gaoxunshou returned, he was always at peace and even went to Hu Hai for less. He left the palace all day and stayed at home and stayed quietly.

It's almost noon.

His brother Zhao Cheng suddenly arrived at the house.

Zhao Gao had a cold face and was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Cheng's irritable behavior.

Zhao Gao shouted: "You have an official position now, why do you feel so frivolous when walking and doing things? I am no longer valued by your brother. If you commit crimes outside again, I can't protect you."

Zhao Cheng hurriedly said:

"Brother, why are you still so calm?"

"The reason why I'm so anxious this time is because I think I'm my brother."

"November ago, the new official office of the court, Tianwang, Tianwang Order, was the censor Yi who suddenly came to the door. He... asked about his brother and the Fangshi Xu Sheng, and I had just secretly investigated. In addition to looking for me, Yi also found officials who were familiar with his brother. I was worried that the government seemed to be investigating his brother, so I hurried over to notify him."

"Brother, did you do something?"

"And what happened to Xu Sheng? I didn't seem to see him come back this time."

Hearing words.

Zhao Gao frowned slightly, and then stretched out.

Coldly said:

"Don't make such a fuss."

"What are you doing with your brother? Just a eunuch who is not valued? What can you do?"

"But something happened to Xu Sheng. He defected and was involved in a confidential case. However, this case has not been solved. Yi is probably for this case." Speaking of this, Zhao Gao's eyes were uncertain, and he asked, "What did you say to Yi?"

Zhao Chengdao:

"I don't know what happened, how dare I tell the truth?"

"I can't tell you clearly about the relationship between my brother and Xu Sheng, and I didn't have much contact in the past, so I just fooled it. But I don't know what others would say. Brother, Xu Sheng's affairs are very serious?"

Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes slightly.

He looked at Zhao Cheng coldly.

Snorted coldly:

"What do you think?"

"Skynet is His Majesty's newly established official office."

"What exactly is done is not known to the outside world yet, but it may be related to the detailed work that year. These people are all the eyes and ears of Your Majesty. If it weren't for Xu Sheng's crimes that were serious, and even so serious that His Majesty must be concerned, would His Majesty expose Skynet so easily to the world?"

"As for what Xu Sheng did specifically."

Zhao Gao paused.

Youyou said:

"You have heard of the attacks and killings in Lu County?"

Zhao Cheng was stunned and said in a deep voice: "This story has been known to everyone in the world. I am not a deaf person. How could I have never heard of it? Isn't it just Qin Luoheng was assassinated? Qin Luoheng was really lucky and was not killed. If he died, Mr. Hu Hai would probably have a great chance of taking office."

"But what does this have to do with Xu Sheng?"

"Could it be..." Zhao Cheng didn't react slowly, and he raised his head suddenly, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

Zhao Gao nodded.

Said:

"You guessed it right."

"It was Xu Sheng who told the news that the nobles of the six countries, which led to the attack in Lu County."

"It's just that Xu Sheng was expecting his incident to happen, so after the leak, he fled directly, and now he is missing. But he is planning to be the Tenth Prince of the Great Qin. How could His Majesty not be angry, and how could he not be concerned about it?"

"As for Yi's investigation..."

"It's because Xu Sheng shouldn't have known something, so His Majesty concluded that there were his accomplices in the court."

"So I've been sending people to investigate."

"I have had some contact with Xu Sheng in the past, so I was naturally in the queue of doubts."

"But don't be too shocked. This matter has nothing to do with your brother. I am now neglected. Why do you do such a risky thing? And you are doing it right. Some things cannot be said too carefully. Now it is not as good as before. If they really want to frame them, you may cause trouble if you say something wrong."

Zhao Cheng nodded.

Smiling:

"I understand this naturally."

"It's just that brother, Qin Luoheng's identity is now obvious. After he restores his identity, the position of crown prince will be decided accordingly. At that time, Mr. Hu Hai will not have any chance. My brother has devoted so much effort to Hu Hai, wouldn't it be all gone? If that attack could kill Qin Luoheng."

Zhao Cheng's eyes were a little gloomy.

As Zhao Gao's younger brother, he naturally knew how much things Zhao Gao did and how much effort Zhao Gao had done to help Hu Hai ascend, but Hu Hai's starting point, power and even talent were really not comparable to Fusu and Qin Luoheng. They had no much interaction with Qin Luoheng, and they even had a vague relationship. If Qin Luoheng had ascended, how could they end up well?

Now that Zhao Gao is just being neglected, he already feels the change in the attitude of the officials in the government towards him. When Qin Luoheng takes office, their Zhao family will be afraid that they will completely lose power. By then, their good days will probably be completely over.

He was really unwilling to accept it?

Hearing words.

Zhao Gao sneered.

Disdainful:

"Qin Luoheng is the crown prince?"

“Why is that easy?”

"Fusu is indeed a little unattracted now. It was once said that Qin Luoheng was the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, but that was just an imagination from the outside world and was unrealistic at all. Fusu was no longer valued, but he was the eldest son after all. This identity was enough to bring considerable convenience to him for the crown prince. What's more, behind Fusu, there were Chu forces standing."

"Will they be willing to let Qin Luoheng take office?"

Zhao Cheng was stunned.

He was surprised and said, "Brother means that the eldest son will not give up, and will continue to fight with Qin Luoheng?"

Zhao Gao sneered and said indifferently: "It's not that you give up, but that you will definitely fight. Even the eldest son is actually more advantageous than Qin Luoheng. The Guanzhong clan is standing behind Qin Luoheng, but the eldest son is not only Chu forces behind him, and in order to balance the court, His Majesty will not rush to set the position of crown prince."

"The water in the court is muddy."

"I didn't understand it before, but I calmed down recently and only saw some clues."

"The dispute between the crown prince in the Qin Dynasty was actually an open and secret battle between the Guanzhong clan and officials in the six places. The conflicts and conflicts between the two have been a long time. When I just served Your Majesty, an expulsion order broke out. That time, the Guanzhong clan took the lead in attacking. You were not old at that time, and I had never told you some things."

"At that time, what the Guanzhong clan said was that the Qin people ruled Qin!"

"Of course, the old Qin people were indeed qualified to say this. After all, most of the territory of Qin was defeated by the old Qin people at that time. At that time, the power of heaven was established. The Qin people swept away the six worlds and were the will of the people. After the world was unified, it should naturally be governed by the Qin people. This is what many old Qin people thought at that time, especially after Qin Luoheng was born, this idea was even more deeply rooted in people's hearts."

"At that time, Your Majesty gradually took power and launched a large-scale use of the Guanzhong clan, and deliberately reduced the influence of the six origins such as Huayang Empress Dowager Lu Buwei, Xiong Qi. It was precisely because Your Majesty deliberately helped the fire that the order for the expulsion of the guest was created. However, the so-called expulsion of the guest was actually a battle between Your Majesty and Huayang Empress Dowager Lu Buwei and others."

"With the issuance of the order to expel guests, officials from the six places began to be targeted. The Guanzhong clan's right to speak in the court increased greatly. The Guanzhong clan's right to speak is Your Majesty behind it. The increase in the Guanzhong clan's power naturally means that Your Majesty's power is increasing. After Your Majesty uses this to control the court, there will be a subsequent Li Si's "Letter to Expel Guards".

"Your Majesty seems to have awakened, but in fact your Majesty has never thought of always implementing the order to expel guests."

"It is precisely because of the order to expel guests that Lu Buwei's disciples were all expelled from the court and the country. Since then, Lu Buwei's disciples have completely lost power. Some of Lu Buwei's disciples are unwilling to give up, so they directly betrayed Lu Buwei and surrendered to His Majesty. Among them are Wang Wan, Li Si, Mao Jiao and others, but why are they directly valued by His Majesty? There are other reasons."

"You have basically heard of everything in the future."

"Lao Ai rebelled, Lu Buwei was demoted, and then committed suicide by drinking poison. Empress Dowager Huayang died of illness. Since then, both Guanzhong clans and officials from six places have to choose Your Majesty. Your Majesty has completely controlled the power of the court."

"But it's also from this time."

"The Guanzhong clan and officials from the sixth place are not right."

"The two have been fighting openly and secretly in the court."

"In the past, when Lu Buwei and Empress Dowager Huayang were in the past, the Guanzhong clan was always excluded and suppressed. After the Shuhu, the Guanzhong clan began to gain an advantage. With the progress of the unification of the world, the Guanzhong clan completely suppressed the six regions. In order to stabilize the court and prevent the Guanzhong clan from becoming more powerful, Your Majesty promoted Xiong Qi, Wang Wan, Li Si, Feng Quji and others, but it was still difficult to stop the Guanzhong clan's prosperity."

"If there is no accident, when the world is unified, the Guanzhong clan will completely occupy the court, and the six divisions will be completely driven out of the court, but at this time, the "Jing Ke assassination of Qin" broke out, Ying Sinian was killed, and then the Guanzhong clan lost control and Xiong Qi's rebellion and other series of things that were dazzling. When everything was calmed down, the Guanzhong clan's strength was directly interrupted in the middle."

“The court has returned to balance again.”

"However, the six-district group was suppressed by the Guanzhong clan for so long, how could there be no complaints in my heart? That's why a large number of Guanzhong clans were impeached and eventually demoted and moved. Since then, the six-district group once again occupied the court, but the open and secret struggles between the two have never stopped. However, after the death of the tenth prince, the Guanzhong clan no longer had the capital to compete with the six-district group, so they could only keep retreating."

"But how is this what the Guanzhong clan wants?"

"Now the tenth young master is not dead, and he is even extremely outstanding. The Guanzhong clan will inevitably be involved in the resumption, but how can the Six Lands and One Group give up the great advantages? There are only so many places in the court. With more Guanzhong clans, the Six Lands and One Group will naturally be less. Do you think the dispute between the crown prince is just the dispute between Fusu and Qin Luoheng, but it is not actually at all."

"The battle between the crown prince is actually a battle between the Guanzhong clan and the six regions."

"None of them will give in."
