11. Attention from the Emperor

Wuxian Town, palace hall.

The emperor sat in the hall, frowned and stared at the memorial in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he picked up the pen in his hand to review it, and then placed the memorial aside.

The CRRC Mansion ordered Zhao Gao to stand beside the emperor. Whenever the emperor put down a new memorial, he was responsible for putting the memorial in the basket next to the table.

There seems to be a different tacit understanding between this pair of monarchs and ministers.

"Prime Minister Li Si, the doctor order Meng Yi to come!"

The emperor put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his temples, and did not speak, but just adjusted his sitting posture slightly so that he could sit more calmly.

Li Si and Meng Yi came together and saluted the emperor: "Minist Li Si/Meng Yi has met Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Si signaled Meng Yi to speak.

Meng Yi said: "Your Majesty, I just found that the head of a hundred generals of the Qin Dynasty was on the shore of Zhenze, and it should have been killed by an assassin."

"Assassin?" The emperor frowned, and there was obvious displeasure in his tone: "Have you found the trace of the assassin?"

Meng Yi said: "The incident just happened and I am pursuing it."

The emperor snorted and said nothing.

Zhao Gao said coldly: "Dr. Ling, I have reminded you a few days ago that the thief Zhang Liang has appeared in Kuaiji County. I didn't expect you to be so careless that the thief can succeed!"

Meng Yi suddenly looked up, stared at Zhao Gao without showing any weakness, and said coldly: "There are more than ten thousand soldiers and horses around His Majesty, and there are countless people who come into contact with every day. It is impossible to investigate one by one. How can you be careful? If the doctor of the lord thinks he has the ability to capture Zhang Liang, then what's the point of asking you to take this credit!"

The smell of gunpowder in the hall began to become stronger.

At this moment, Prime Minister Li Si spoke: "Dragonist, CSRC Mansion, please stop arguing. I just got information from Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, which may be helpful to this matter."

The emperor signaled Li Si to speak.

Li Si said: "According to Yin Tong's secret investigation, Zhang Liang had already arrived in Kuaiji half a month ago and visited almost all the famous families in Kuaiji, hoping to get their support and assassinate His Majesty."

The emperor sneered and said, "This Zhang Liang is really a thief. Prime Minister, what kind of family is so brave that they dare to join forces with Zhang Liang, the thief?"

Jing Ke and Zhang Liang, two people who stood out among countless assassins, were closest to taking the emperor's life.

But Jing Ke has long been dead, but Zhang Liang is still alive!

Li Si said: "What I want to report is this matter. According to the report of the Xiang family in Kuaiji County, the Yu family in Kuaiji County seems to be very close to Zhang Liang's past and is highly suspected."

"Xiang family?" The emperor seemed to remember something and asked, "Is it the Xiang family Xiang Yan?"

Xiang Yan is also a very impressive name for the emperor.

Li Xin led 200,000 Qin troops to defeat Xiang Yan, forcing the emperor to lower his posture and ask the old general Wang Jian to come out. In addition, the various games between the emperor and Wang Jian in the subsequent battle to destroy Chu were definitely an experience that made the emperor very unhappy.

Li Si nodded and said, "It is the Xiang family. Now the leader of Xiang family is Xiang Liang, the youngest son of Xiang Yan."

Zhao Gao suddenly spoke, "Xiang is the descendant of Xiang Yan. He must have the intention to oppose the Qin Dynasty and should not believe everything he said."

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded, and the sound of footsteps was so obvious that everyone could not help but look back subconsciously.

Prince Hu Hai walked in angrily, ignoring Li Simeng Yi and Zhao Gao around him, he complained directly to the emperor.

"Father, you have to make the decision for your son!"

The emperor frowned and shouted, "Didn't you see that I'm discussing the important matter with you? Leave!"

Hu Hai had no choice but to retreat aside.

The emperor pondered for a while and said, "Zhao Gao, you will lead troops to the Yu family with the doctor tomorrow to see what the situation is. If the Yu family really has the intention to rebel, then destroy it. As for the Xiang family, if it involves this matter, they will be imprisoned and punished."

Hu Hai, who had just sat down, suddenly his eyes lit up and turned angry and said with a smile: "Father, my son and I want to see how Master Zhao investigates the rebel tomorrow."

The emperor glared at Hu Hai and said, "You can go, but don't mess around!"

For a young son who is favored, his father's scolding is sometimes no different from indulgence.

Hu Hai said with a smile: "Don't worry, Father, I'm very obedient. This place in Wuxian is too boring. When will we go back to Xianyang?"

The emperor shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go back after the matter is resolved. Don't make trouble here, let me continue!"

Hu Hai was not nervous, and stood up with a smile, saluted respectfully at Zhao Gao, then bowed to Li Si and Meng Yi, and then left with a light step.

At the same time, in the study of Xiang's mansion, Xiang Bo looked surprised.

"Zhang Zifang plots against me, Xiang and Yu'er, brother, where do you start with this statement?"

Xiang Bo and Zhang Liang have a very good relationship.

When Zhang Liang was chased and fled everywhere by the Qin government, Xiang did not dare to come forward blatantly when he came to Xia Pi. Xiang happened to kill the people in the Qin government at that time, so Xiang Bo asked Zhang Liang to hide with him for a while, and then sent Zhang Liang away. The two thus established a life-and-death friendship.

Xiang Liang did not hide it, and told everything in detail, then said angrily: "Tell me, is Zhang Zifang deliberately plotting against us Xiang and Yu'er?"

Xiang Bo was silent for a while and said, "Brother, there may be other hidden information about this matter. Zhang Zifang has always been open-minded. If he really wanted to win over me, Xiang, he would not have used such seduction methods. In my opinion, Yu'er and the girl in Yu might just meet by chance, and it is normal for young men and girls to fall in love with each other."

Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Bo coldly and said, "Do you really believe in Zhang Zifang?"

Xiang Bo said seriously: "I am willing to guarantee my life!"

Xiang Liang said: "Then do you know where Zhang Zifang is now?"

Xiang Bo was stunned for a moment and said, "I really don't know this."

Xiang Liang said: "He is in the Yu family's house. Today, the governor of Kuaiji County Yin Tong has obtained information and learned where Zhang Zifang is. If it is not bad as I expected, Zhao Zheng will send troops to round up Zhang Zifang in the Yu family's house in the next two days. If you go to report the news to Zhang Zifang now, maybe it will be too late."

Xiang Bo was shocked, stood up quickly and said anxiously: "Brother, please forgive me, I'll go now!"

After saying that, Xiang Bo rushed out of the room.

Looking at the open door, Xiang Liang was silent for a while and sighed a long time.
