Chapter 434 The Emperor Has Compromised
Of course, these scenes fell into Cao Shen's eyes, which further confirmed some of Cao Shen's previous judgments.
When Ying Gao returned to Xianyang, it happened to be a night. After entering Xianyang Palace to sort out his appearance, Ying Gao was about to summon Cao Shen to see the changes in Xianyang City these days, but he didn't expect two guards to come in a row. One said that Xiao He and Meng Yi had arrived at the main hall, and the other said that Cao Shen had arrived at the side hall, and they all claimed that they were anxious to see Ying Gao.
Seeing this posture, Ying Gao not only did not look anxious, but also showed a little excitement on his face. He was not afraid that the commander behind the scenes would make something happen when he was not in Xianyang City.
If nothing happened in Xianyang City during the period when he left, Ying Gao's trip to Luoyang would be in vain. Isn't what he wants to do when he goes to Luoyang this time the result of the chaos in Xianyang City?
Cao Shen appeared in the side hall. It was obvious that he didn't want to meet Ying Gao with Xiao He and Meng Yi, so Ying Gao hesitated for a moment, and said sorry to Xiao He and Meng Yi, and went to the side hall first.
After entering the side hall, Ying Gao saw Cao Shen standing in the hall with his head down, but after looking at Cao Shen's expression, Ying Gao grinned secretly, thinking that the surprise he had been looking forward to before was probably not something to Cao Shen. Not only would it not be a surprise, but it would definitely be a shock to Cao Shen's drooping look.
"Your Majesty, Cao Shen is incompetent, please convict me!"
Sure enough, as soon as he saw the main leader arrive, Cao Shen fell to the ground without saying a word, and then made such a sentence.
"Don't you make such a look. If you make any mistakes, quickly, I have my own plans to convict."
"Your Majesty, after you left, the person hiding behind the scenes took action again. The rumors spread almost all over the officials of the Qin Dynasty and many nobles. At the same time, as the emperor's instructions, I stared at all the wives of the princes of the Qin Dynasty. Sure enough, I found clues, but..."
At this moment, Cao Shen used his low voice to get together with many young masters' wives, and how he disappeared overnight under the tracking of his own people. Obviously, he knew that it was his subordinates who were shocking the snake while following, which made the big man run away.
Moreover, before Ying Gao left, he told Cao Shen not to alert the people, just grasp the rules of the people behind the scenes. If you don’t talk about the rest, Cao Shen wouldn’t feel so guilty. This is a typical example of someone who doesn’t let you do what you insist on, but he ended up doing it in a tiny way.
When Ying Gao heard this, he knew how this happened. He sighed, thought for a little while, and asked, "Have you ever found the place where the man is staying?"
"This is never. In the past few days, the people under his command always followed him from afar because they were afraid of disturbing the man. However, the man suddenly disappeared in different places, and then he followed closer on that heavy rainy night. I think it was because of this that I was discovered, but I still had no idea where he was staying. Every time I checked the place where he disappeared, I had never found any clues."
Obviously, Cao Shen still didn't understand the fact that the great man always disappeared out of thin air. After the great man disappeared, he almost secretly turned Xianyang City upside down, but he didn't even find the approximate range of their place.
As soon as this said, Ying Gao sighed slightly again, thinking that it was a good idea that I had known for a great possibility that I could not catch this person, so I arranged some backup plans. Otherwise, in this situation, I would have been passive for a while, so he comforted Cao Shen with a sentence he often heard in later generations.
"It's time to come, so don't be sad. Fortunately, there is no way for the world to go as far as you said. If this man was so elusive as you said, it would still be difficult to find even if I came back. If I expected it was right, they should have a top-secret passage in Xianyang City leading out of the city. Otherwise, they would have been intercepted and killed by your subordinates long ago. So it would be a good way to force him out of Xianyang City at this time. Don't you know that these people are the most vigilant in Xianyang City. Only after leaving Xianyang City will their courage become a little bit higher. At that time, things will be simple."
"I left Xianyang City, but I don't know where this person will escape? I'm afraid they won't go again in Zhaodi, this great Qin..."
For a moment, Cao Shen, who was already occupied by depression, could not understand the meaning of Ying Gao's words, and at this time, what Ying Gao said to him was a little confused.
"Do you know why this person teased the young men of Daqin alone? And all these rumors are comparing with Fusu?"
Ying Gao didn't believe that Cao Shen could not think of something with Cao Shen's head. Cao Shen's intelligence was no less than Xiao He, but he was just a little restrained. This time he lost his hand in Xianyang City, Ying Gao also wanted Cao Shen to use this matter to keep his eyes on him longer, so he could only guide him step by step.
Sure enough, after Ying Gao told this, Cao Shen finally turned around and thought about it. What exactly did he want to get when the person hiding behind the scenes manipulated such a large range and such a high-standard rumor?
"Could it be... he really wanted to send those princes to some places like Fusu's princes. He could not convince Fusu to do something, but he put his ideas on other princes?"
In just a while, Cao Shen really figured out some of the key points. This analysis was almost exactly what Ying Gao had imagined before.
"No matter whether this person means this or not, the unfavorable remarks against me in Xianyang City are about to be formed among the people. There are endless things like rumors. If I want these rumors to disappear in Xianyang City, I can only use facts to make them shut up."
When Cao Shen heard Ying Gao's meaning, he knew that Ying Gao had already solved it, and he felt vaguely that this method did not seem to be very good?
"Your Majesty, do you want to really use some young masters like Fusu? What if... what..."
In case of the following words, it was not that Cao Shen didn't say anything, but that he really didn't dare to say it. He knew that what he said to Ying Gao at this time was the secret of the Qin Dynasty. No matter how Ying Gao was preparing to solve this matter, their conversation would not be known by anyone. But even in this situation, he still felt that what he was about to say was a little cruel.
"No case, no matter who, no matter what the reason, once my people of Daqin are, the consequences will be average, and no matter what the reason is, there will be no exception."
Of course, Ying Gao knew what Cao Shen wanted to remind him, but he also knew that in such a situation, as an emperor, he had to be cold-blooded.
"Cao Shen understands it. I think it won't be used for the next thing. Shen will leave first. The left prime minister and the Taiwei... are afraid they are already a little anxious."
The conversation between the two did waste a lot of time. Cao Shen knew that Xiao He and Meng Yi were much older than they did in the morning, and these two people did not know much about them. At this time, they were probably so anxious that they were about to vomit blood.
"Oh? I forgot about them."
After Cao Shen's reminder, Ying Gaocai slapped his forehead. It turned out that there were two people waiting for him in the hall, so he waved his hand at Cao Shen, and then hurriedly headed towards the hall.
Cao Shen looked at Ying Gao's hurriedly leaving, and suddenly he had the idea of being an emperor as he was not as relaxed as his Xianyang Order. He just had to do what Ying Gao secretly ordered. When he was fine, he still had a lot of time to drink in the mansion and look at the dancer's graceful figure. Ying Gao was simply unrest...
Thinking of this, Cao Shen suddenly felt a little confused about the young men who were making trouble outside. He felt that it was really right to teach them some lessons like Ying Gao.
When they saw Xiao He and Meng Yi, the two of them were already sweating. As soon as they saw Ying Gao, Xiao He spoke out the current situation in Xianyang City.
It was similar to what Cao Shen introduced just now. People of the above-mentioned grades in Xianyang City knew that Ying Gao's brothers now complained about him. The salary given to them was extremely low, and they were not as good as a similar nobleman. Their lives were getting worse and worse. Their identity as a royal family was trampled on by Ying Gao, so it was worthless...
Because the root of the rumors lies in these Ying Gao's brothers themselves, Xiao He and Meng Yi had no good idea, so they asked them to capture a few princes of the Qin Dynasty. Without Ying Gao's orders, they would not dare to do so.
"You two think, what should I do in this situation?"
Ying Gao's face did not have the anxious look they had imagined before, and he did not express any comments, but asked them first.
"Your Majesty, this matter has been heard from the mouths of many young masters. If we do this, we must decide to deal with these young masters. If we execute the emperor's edict, we will die. But if we ask us to give advice on this matter, we dare not speak out."
This time it was Meng Yi, but the view he said was obviously discussed by the two of them before. Xiao He also nodded repeatedly. They thought that Ying Gao was asking them in disguise how to deal with their brothers. Even if they were the highest-ranking officials in the entire Qin Dynasty, they would never dare to say anything.
"Oh? What's the point of saying this? But if they follow my opinion, they want the status they want, and they feel that they have not received my favor in Xianyang City, and they are my brothers. I can naturally satisfy them. But I have more than a dozen brothers, but everyone cannot stand alone. I have to choose one person first. If this person does well, it will naturally be inevitable to send other brothers out in the future. But if this person does not do well, I will be powerless. What do you two think?"
After Ying Gao finished speaking of this method, Meng Yi and Xiao He looked at each other and saw some unbelievable meanings in each other's eyes.
Is this our lord? He is like those young men who compromise?
Obviously, according to ordinary people's understanding, since Ying Gao agreed to send someone out, it would be equivalent to opening the gap. There is the first one and the second one. They are different from Fusu. Fusu was sent to Nanhai County by the First Emperor, not Ying Gao.
If Ying Gao can send one out after such a riot, they will make trouble again after a while, and it will be difficult for Ying Gao to send one out again.
However, Meng Yi and Xiao He were not easy to talk to when the emperor arranged for his brothers. Moreover, according to the current situation of talking in the streets and alleys in Xianyang City, if Ying Gao really did this, he would have some immediate results on these rumors.
So the two old comrades nodded and agreed to this matter. After all, what they both fear most was not this, but Ying Gao was angry and caught one of his brothers. If that were the case, Ying Gao had finally accumulated a reputation in recent years would be completely over.
Although the words were completely different when they met with key figures in the court, Ying Gao had already decided on how to deal with this matter.
Two days later, the princes of the Qin Dynasty in Xianyang City suddenly received a familiar edict, and the emperor summoned them to the Xianyang Palace for a banquet.
At this moment, many people were really a little scared, because Ying Gao understood it last time. If someone was disobedient, they would be rude, but it would definitely not work if they didn't go. Many young men thought about it and thought that it was not just me who said it alone. You can do whatever you can do to me, so they would have to take the courage to go.
It was still the same decoration as the last time and the same seating level. Ying Gao was still sitting on the main seat with a smile as before.
