Chapter 12 Appointment of Li Xin
Veteran Li Xin stepped up to the bedroom of Emperor II of Xianyang Palace.
Li Xin was very dissatisfied with Chen Jia bringing him to the bedroom for trial.
The original second emperor liked to kill people. No matter when and wherever they were, as long as they were prosperous, killing people was as simple as crushing an ants.
Since Li Xin was arrested by Qin Ershi, he has no intention of going out alive. Even the lives of his family, the Li family, may not be able to save.
However, this general did not expect that the end of his life would be the bedroom where the second emperor was in the erotic pleasures.
"I'm not willing to give up!" Li Xin roared in his heart, but he had no choice.
When he stepped into the door of the bedroom, his face of grief and anger suddenly solidified.
Where is this the place where Emperor II favors beauty? It has become like a court.
On both sides of the square tables were piled up high with reports carved from bamboo slips. In the center, behind a solid square table, Qin Ershi, who was disgusted with a dislike, was wearing a black-bottomed golden dragon robe and looking at a roll of bamboo slips that had just been put down with a deep sadness between his eyebrows.
Behind the Second Emperor was a huge screen, but Li Xin could not see everything behind the screen.
"Is this the legendary second-generation emperor? Why does it seem to be more diligent than the old emperor?" Li Xin took a step forward with a hint of doubt, bent his knees and knelt on the ground.
"Sin Li Xin, please come to see His Majesty the Emperor." Li Xin was born as a military general and was strong. Even if he kneels down, he will be powerful.
Hu Hai glanced at Li Xin and waved his hand. Chen Jia on the side immediately brought a square stool.
"General Li, please sit down and wait for me." Hu Hai's tone was gentle, which made Li Xin tremble.
Li Xin was determined to die and decided to scold Hu Hai even if he died. However, he didn't expect that it was the result now, and he said for a moment that he didn't know whether he should scold him.
Hu Hai reported to several counties that the heavy rain delayed the autumn harvest. Local officials asked the Second Emperor to reduce local taxes and plead for the people.
Hu Hai didn't know much about money and food, but he knew that at this time, the Qin Dynasty should show its generous mind and let the people of the world return.
Although this tax reduction and exemption action is a bit late, it is not too late to make up for the loss of the sheep.
He picked up his brush and read the report skillfully.
"Well, it's not bad. Qin Ershi's calligraphy is still very good." Hu Hai looked at the calligraphy that was still eye-catching on the bamboo slips and nodded slightly.
Putting the memorial aside again, Hu Hai looked up and looked at Li Xin and asked, "General Li, can the food in the prison be still in the mouth?"
Li Xin was stunned. He had been in the prison of Xianyang Palace for several days, but the prison meals in these days were more sumptuous than the food outside.
He didn't know what was going on, but he just thought that Hu Hai was playing the game of cat catching mice with him, and he had to play him enough before he could kill him. But today, Hu Hai's complexion was completely different from the previous Emperor Qin II. There was a faint sense of heroic spirit between his eyebrows, which was quite powerful.
"I'm fine, it's okay." Li Xin said hesitantly.
Hu Hai snorted, and said with plastic surgery: "Why don't you call yourself a 'criminal'?"
Li Xin was stunned, his face turned red and said, "What I said in the court is the truth, what is the crime?"
Hu Hai looked at Li Xin's old face. Although he had experienced the war, he was still as firm as a rock. He couldn't help but nodded deeply, stood up from behind the square table, and walked around to Li Xin.
Li Xin couldn't sit still, so he got up immediately and was about to kneel down.
Hu Hai reached out and grabbed Li Xin's arm, but the old general had a great strength and actually knelt down stiffly.
He smiled helplessly, and Hu Hai ordered: "Chen Jia, help the old general get up."
Chen Jia, who was beside him, immediately stepped forward and helped Li Xin up.
"General Li, I am very happy that you don't follow the trend in the court." Hu Hai said with his eyes fixed on Li Xin.
Li Xin was stunned, but this time he did not kneel down, but just bowed to Hu Hai.
"You should know that after I ascended the throne, I was coerced by Zhao Gao and did a lot of things that I didn't understand. I thought that it must be that Zhao Gao did witchcraft that I would have made many huge mistakes in a daze. Now I am clear-headed and want to cheer up the Qin Dynasty and reorganize the country, but I have no choice but to be alone and I don't know if General Li Xin can help me."
Hu Hai knew that Qin II had killed so many loyal ministers and cruelly killed his biological brothers and sisters, which was unreasonable in any case.
However, the emperors of this era believed that witchcraft could charm people's hearts, so he simply put the actions of Qin Ershi to witchcraft, which was barely a reason.
As long as people's hearts are consolidated and the complete control of the Qin Dynasty is regained, how to explain the history of indiscriminate killing in the future is not a matter of turning around.
Sure enough, after hearing what Emperor II said, Li Xin looked hesitant in his eyes.
"My Xianyang Palace is already full of Zhao Gao's eyes and ears. I want General Li Xin to be the CRRC Mansion to ban the palace. What do the general want?"
It was not until now that Li Xin realized that the second-generation emperor in front of him was not about killing him, but about relying on his own strength.
He was originally thinking that he would die and was excited at this moment. Although he seemed to be demoted from the general to the CRRC Mansion, he actually became a guard around the emperor, and naturally he had more opportunities to contact the emperor.
Although being with the king is like a tiger, it is naturally beneficial to stay by the emperor for a long time.
"I, I should do my best." Li Xin immediately knelt on one knee and served allegiance to Hu Hai from the bottom of his heart.
"Wrong, you should do your best." Hu Hai corrected.
"Yes, I will do my best and never give up." Li Xin immediately understood the meaning of the second emperor and replied firmly.
Hu Hai nodded with satisfaction, walked slowly back to the square table, sat down and asked, "General Li Xin, there are countless people in the Xianyang Palace now. I want you to quietly replace the imperial guards in the palace. Can you do it?"
Li Xin thought for a moment and said firmly: "Give me some time, I should be able to do it."
"I don't have much time, so give me a deadline." Hu Hai knew that as long as I chased through anything, I would improve my efficiency.
"Within three days, I will let the palace guards be completely replaced. All of them are replaced with guards that are satisfied with the emperor." Li Xin said with confidence.
"Okay, let Chen Jia do this with you. In the future, Chen Jia will be your deputy. If you do things well, I will not treat you badly." Hu Hai said.
"No" Li Xin and Chen Jia thanked each other.
"I will ask Li Si to give you an edict later and officially appoint you. I will give you some good players from the Qin army. I will personally select the soldiers who guard the Xianyang Palace." Hu Hai added.
"No." Li Xin and Chen Jia looked at each other and replied simply.
"Zhao Gao, I will start from Xianyang Palace first and cut off your power bit by bit. Let's take a look." Hu Hai's eyes flashed deeply.
