Chapter 14
Three days later, Fusu dragged his newly recovered body to Shangjun. Fusu's departure officially marked the beginning of the First Emperor's investigation of his youngest son Hu Hai. At the same time, many people who had been a little unstable and did not take the team before were aware of the First Emperor's failure to make a crown prince.
But Ying Gao had no idleness to care about these things. He still looked careless and drank and had fun in the mansion every day. Feng Jie and his son had lost confidence in him. Feng Qing also wanted his husband to do something in the court, but he had no choice but to clean her up in a different way day and night. Every time she just wanted to persuade her, she forgot what she wanted to say under Ying Gao's fierce battle...
In fact, it is not that Ying Gao doesn’t care about the so-called government affairs. It is really that those officials gossiping and rarely attract Ying Gao’s interest. In Yan Le’s eyes, he is like a loach who is unrestrained. It is really difficult for Yan Le to take over his father-in-law to take over his position.
Days are passing day by day, and July is already coming. Just when Ying Gao is bored and Yan Le is helpless, during a court meeting, Ying Gao finally opened his eyes wide after a speech by Emperor First.
On the same day, Emperor Shi was just approaching the court and looked at the people in front of the hall and asked: "Now the population in Xianyang City is increasing, and the area north of our Wei River is already overcrowded. There are mixed fish and dragons outside the Xianyang Palace. Everyone thinks, how should this matter be solved?"
As soon as this problem was released, Ying Gao was shocked. He was familiar with this history. He also knew that it was precisely because Emperor Shin-Emperor forced the nobles of the six countries to Xianyang after unifying the six countries, which almost doubled the population of Xianyang. Although it was prosperous, it was also crowded. It was precisely because of the crowd that Emperor Shin-Emperor ordered the construction of a building complex that was frequently mentioned more than two thousand years later: Afang Palace.
When it comes to Afang Palace, one thing we have to say is that until Ying Gao knew about the Second Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, which was known in his previous life, the Afang Palace was far from being completed, but to some extent it became a catalyst for the demise of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The Great Wall, a straight road dozens of meters wide and a rush to all parts of the Qin Dynasty, has already made the people of Qianshou who are not very interested in the Qin Dynasty. In addition, such a Afang Palace, which is only larger than the Xianyang Palace, cannot imagine how much tolerance the people of the Qin Dynasty can have.
"I have to take care of this matter in a reasonable way!" Ying Gao was afraid that many people died tragically on the construction site of Abang Palace. Since this matter came to him, he knew that there were harms but no benefits. If Ying Gao thought that if he didn't care about it, he would be a bit of a bad character.
However, when Ying Gao was still thinking about how to speak and how to eliminate the idea that the First Emperor might not have formed, someone was the first to speak.
"What you think and worry about is really a blessing for the whole country of Qin. Xianyang is now different from the past. Naturally, the Xianyang Palace cannot fully show the emperor's emperor's style. The large area of land south of the Wei River is still vacant. It is better to choose a good day immediately and build a new palace south of the Wei River. When it is completed, the emperor can move here, which can also demonstrate the prosperity of the great Qin national strength. It is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone!"
When Ying Gao heard the sarcastic voice and the extremely disgusting words, he knew that the person who spoke was Zhao Gao. This disrupted Ying Gao's plan. He couldn't help but greet Zhao Gao and the object that had already been lost on him.
Now that things have come, Ying Gao can't help but sigh, otherwise he would say that the dynasty and the generation are all treacherous officials in the end, and you can't stand the chatting of others, it sounds nice!
As soon as Zhao Gao said this, the First Emperor heard that he had enough face. If anyone stood up to refute, it would not be a slap in the face of Zhao Gao, but a slap in the face of the First Emperor. If you slap in the face of the First Emperor, then what the First Emperor wants is the head of your whole family...
So after Zhao Gao said this, the ministers looked at each other and no one said anything, because they all saw it. As Zhao Gao said, the First Emperor's face almost burst into laughter.
"This statement is very consistent with my heart, but I don't know what the new palace should be named?"
The First Emperor skipped the step to continue discussing this step and asked the name of the new palace directly, which shows his decision, and he is afraid that he already has the same idea as Zhao Gao.
When Ying Gao heard the question from the First Emperor, he felt a little moved again. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he might have imagined both the First Emperor and Zhao Gao as simple as it was.
Such singing and harmony is not exactly what an emperor like the powerful one does, but more like him expressing his ideas through Zhao Gao's mouth. In this way, he can achieve his goals without any arbitrary suspicion.
Perhaps Zhao Gao was the obedient person in front of the First Emperor, the one who did not hesitate to bear the thunder for the First Emperor, so he gained the trust and respect of the First Emperor, and his true intention was hidden until the day when the First Emperor closed his eyes and leaked out.
As soon as this idea arose, Ying Gao was relieved. If he had really said what he had prepared in advance, wouldn't he be the second Fusu?
The establishment of the Afang Palace was obviously an inevitable thing. At the moment when Ying Gao was frowning, Emperor First Emperor had already named the front hall of the new palace Afang at the instigation of Zhao Gao and others. As for the name of the palace, it would be left until the new palace was completed and then proposed by Emperor First Emperor himself.
This incident made Ying Gao understand one truth, that is, as long as the First Emperor is alive for one day, Zhao Gao is just a clown who can only hide in the dark. If you want to help the Qin Dynasty up, you have to start with the First Emperor. Before, he was even wrong in his starting point, so how can you talk about revitalizing the Qin Dynasty?
Just as he figured out this truth, Ying Gao suddenly heard that his name was coming through Zhao Gao's uneven voice, and he couldn't help but scream in his heart.
Ying Gao had just come back to his senses when he heard Zhao Gao telling Emperor Shi: "Young Master Gao was young and promising, and his talent was quick. It would be better to supervise the construction of the new palace by your son Gao. With your talent, you can definitely greatly shorten the construction period of the new palace. I wonder what the emperor thinks."
Obviously, the First Emperor was asking who was suitable for the construction of the new palace. Everyone knew that the construction of the new palace was a fat man, but at this time, Zhao Gao actually moved out of Ying Gao, obviously not taking care of him.
Zhao Gao is really trying to do something!
