Chapter 558 The truth of the matter
"Zhao Gao, go and bring the people who are going to be robbed to see me."
In Xianyang Palace, the imperial order was issued, and Zhao Gao, who regarded a deer as a horse, immediately rushed to the Zulong Great Wall.
"Emperor Ming, Your Majesty the First Emperor has invited you?"
Having followed the First Emperor for countless years, Zhao Gao's cultivation was unfathomable. In just a few moments, he arrived at the Zulong Great Wall and conveyed the First Emperor's will to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhao Gao with interest.
The most impressive thing about Zhao Gao is that he calls a deer a horse. It can be called the starting point of eunuch chaos and is synonymous with the harm to the country and the people.
The Ten Constant Attendants of the Han Dynasty, Ma Yuanzhi of the Tang Dynasty, including his subordinate Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian, the favorite of Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, all took Zhao Gao as an example.
However, Zhao Gao himself did not have the appearance of a treacherous eunuch. Instead, he was very scholarly, elegant and courteous in his manners. It is no wonder that he was able to serve as an eunuch and serve as the commander of the CRRC.
Of course, what kind of person Zhao Gao was had little to do with Zhu Houzhao. After all, Zhao Gao was a member of the First Emperor and could not be used by him.
The reason why I am very interested in Zhao Gao is because of that sentence: "I just want to climb to the highest level step by step. I want to be Zhao Gao."
In life, I always envy and yearn for Yi Xiaochuan. He is the most eye-catching boy wherever he goes, and everyone prefers him. But when he truly matures, he suddenly looks back and realizes that he is the "Zhao Gao".
Life is full of helplessness. Yi Xiaochuan is just a dream, and Zhao Gao is the naked reality.
In a sense, Zhu Houzhao is also a "Zhao Gao" because he is also climbing up step by step, and is mixed with too much heaviness and helplessness.
Everyone wants to be free and wanton, everyone wants to act arbitrarily, but unfortunately the reality is always cruel.
Everyone laughs at "Zhao Gao", everyone is "Zhao Gao", the world is so ridiculous.
The only difference is that this Zhao Gao is not the other Zhao Gao.
After coming back to his senses, Zhu Houzhao cupped his hands and smiled and said, "I'd like to help Mr. Zhao lead the way."
When senior official Zhao went to CRRC, he called him "Sir", which was not wrong.
"please"
Zhao Gao casually opened a door to time and space and his attitude became much better.
Things like face are always mutual. You give me face, and I will give you face.
Zhu Houzhao led Ying Feixue, and Zhu Qinghuang walked into the gate of time and space with his head held high, without any fear.
Although Xian Qin was known as the land of tigers and wolves, and had a dark history of King Qin Zhaoxiang kidnapping King Chu Huai for extortion, it was not enough to attack a little person like him who had not yet stepped onto the stage.
The First Emperor's integrity is still worthy of trust.
Arriving in Xianyang smoothly, Ying Feixue and Zhu Qinghuang returned to Wuyang Junfu, while Zhu Houzhao, under the leadership of Zhao Gao, went to see the First Emperor, whom he had admired for a long time.
The first emperor in history, he is said to have surpassed the Three Emperors in merit and virtue and the Five Emperors in virtue. The name of Shi Huangdi represents not only the great unification, but also a lofty belief.
Anyone who becomes an emperor takes the First Emperor as a model, and Zhu Houzhao is no exception.
Walking on the palace road of Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao could not calm down for a long time. He had imagined the scene of meeting the First Emperor many times.
But when he was about to see the First Emperor, his heart became nervous involuntarily.
The ancestor dragon of humanity, the founder of Immortal Qin, and the most powerful person in the world. Many powerful pronouns almost made the First Emperor a "god", which invisibly put great pressure on him.
This kind of pressure is normal. Daluo golden immortals such as Guanyin Bodhisattva did not dare to breathe loudly when they saw the First Emperor, let alone a small person who had never set foot in Daluo.
Xianyang Palace is very big, as if one space after another is overlapping, and you can't see the end at a glance.
Moreover, it is surrounded by numerous formations, and countless strong men are hiding in hiding. It is difficult for people to find out the specific reality of Xianyang Palace.
To put it bluntly, even if Daluo Jinxian comes to Xianyang Palace, he must behave honestly, otherwise, he will have to shed his skin even if he is not dead.
After going around and around, we finally arrived at the place where the First Emperor was.
The First Emperor did not meet Zhu Houzhao in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, but in front of a blue lake.
Wearing the ancestral dragon robe, the flat crown on his head, and the sword of Tai'a, he looks so majestic and domineering, as if everything in the universe will surrender at his feet.
He didn't exude the aura of a strong man. Just standing there gave people the feeling that he was facing a supreme emperor. The aloof temperament he exuded made it difficult for people to have even the slightest bad thought.
Among all the ancient gods, the most noble emperor is none other than the Emperor of Heaven. The most hegemonic emperor should be the First Emperor.
Among all the powerful beings in the heavens, only the First Emperor is the only one who can compete with the Supreme Lord of Heaven.
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The First Emperor turned around and looked back, revealing his true face.
What kind of face does that look like?
His face was extremely majestic, like a knife cutting an axe, with perseverance in his handsomeness, and iron blood in his majesty.
The most eye-catching thing is his eyes. The dark and bright pupils seem to encompass the whole world and all the worlds. Wherever he looks, he sees only conquest.
Look down upon all the heavens, I am the only one who is supreme!
In the eyes of the First Emperor, Zhu Houzhao vaguely seemed to see the magnificent picture of the First Emperor conquering the heavens, fighting immortals and Buddhas, fighting gods and demons, and fighting powerful men.
Immortals, Buddhas, gods, demons, demons. Countless strong men fell under the front of the Immortal Qin soldiers. The great powers of the heavens were beaten by a Tai'a sword and fled in embarrassment. The shocking scenes came into mind, making Zhu Houzhao think again.
I understand clearly the horror represented by the three words "Shi Huang".
call
After taking a long breath and suppressing the shock in his heart, Zhu Houzhao bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner and said: "Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty has met His Majesty the First Emperor."
The First Emperor didn't care about some common etiquette. He shook his robe, touched the hilt of Tai'a sword, and said calmly: "There is no need to be polite."
"You should have a lot of questions to ask. Just speak up. If I can tell you, I will answer your questions."
Conversations between smart people don't need too much nonsense as a prelude. Getting straight to the point can make the conversation simpler.
Whether it was the First Emperor or Zhu Houzhao, they were both smart and knew what the other was thinking.
"I want to know the truth?"
Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice that he had too many questions in his mind, and they really needed to be clarified, otherwise he would not be stable for a day.
He could accept that he was being plotted, after all, he had gained a lot of benefits, but he could not accept that he had been living in a fog.
Before the criminal dies, he has to be a dead ghost, and he must find out clearly even if the final outcome is bleak.
"the truth?"
The First Emperor smiled, his tone a little playful: "Do you want to know the truth about that matter?"
There are so many powerful things that happened to Zhu Houzhao. If we wanted to tell Zhu Houzhao all at once, I would probably not be able to finish them all in three days and three nights.
Zhu Houzhao looked as usual and said extremely calmly: "Why did you choose me?"
He was referring to his affair with Ying Feixue.
Although he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty back then, compared to the super giants of the world such as Xian Qin, and not much different from a poor boy in the country, the First Emperor was willing to bind the noble lady of the Ying family of Xian Qin to him.
Zhu Houzhao has almost figured out the reason, but it still needs to be proved.
"You are the one who deserves the calamity, and forming a karmic relationship with you will be beneficial and harmless to me and the entire Great Qin."
The First Emperor's answer was very direct and calm, which also confirmed Zhu Houzhao's guess.
