Chapter two hundred and sixty-six harboring rebels(1/2)
Zhao Teng was a little helpless. By saying these words today, it was like siding with Huaiguzi.
Zhao Teng really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh: I am not from Huaiguzi.
Unfortunately, not many people believe this.
Forget it, the matter has come to this point anyway, if there is no way forward or retreat, then we can only give it a try.
Zhao Teng coughed lightly and said to Wang Heng: "Recently, many people from Guanzhong have come to sue you. They said that you kidnapped their wives without asking why."
Wang Heng didn't bother to argue with Zhao Teng. It was the emperor's intention to capture the Huns. Zhao Teng thought that by talking about this matter, he could overthrow him?
Seeing Wang Heng's nonchalant expression, Zhao Teng said calmly: "I also know that you got His Majesty's permission to capture those Huns women. However, if you hadn't gone forward to slander His Majesty, Your Majesty would have ordered the capture of the Huns."
?"
Wang Heng sneered: "Slander? I advise Mr. Nei Shi to be careful with his words."
Zhao Teng ignored Wang Heng. He was not Li Shui and did not like to argue with others.
He just looked at Ying Zheng, cupped his hands, and then said: "Your Majesty, please bring those Guizhou chiefs up."
Ying Zheng nodded.
A young eunuch hurried out to look for someone.
The people in the room began to whisper again.
Zhao Teng stood there, paying no attention to anyone. He was sighing in his heart: How did I become a member of Huaiguzi? After all, I still couldn't escape his clutches.
Huaiguzi forced me, the people also forced me, and Wang Heng and his group also forced me. I was forced to side with Huaiguzi.
Zhao Teng felt aggrieved, feeling that a good family woman had fallen into prostitution and was forced to live in a nuisance, forcing her face to smile.
Wang Heng suddenly coughed lightly and said next to Zhao Teng: "Master Zhao, why are you doing this? Your Excellency has always been impartial and of noble character, why do you want to mix with Huaiguzi?"
Zhao Teng looked at Wang Heng extremely annoyed and cursed: "You have the nerve to ask?"
Wang Heng was a little confused and thought: Did Zhao Teng take the wrong medicine? Why is he acting like a mad dog?
Zhao Teng's face turned pale and he stopped paying attention to Wang Heng. Wang Heng also ignored him because he was planning more important things.
Now there is one more Zhao Teng, but it doesn't matter, it won't change the situation.
Soon after, Huaiguzi and Li Xin will definitely fall out of favor. After all, Li Xin's crime of lying about the war is too great. And what about Huaiguzi? He was captured by the Huns. It is still unknown whether he can come back.
Maybe His Majesty will redeem him with some gold and silver. But even if he comes back, he will definitely fall out of favor. By then, he will have no choice but to be under house arrest in the palace and refining elixirs.
As soon as Huaiguzi lost his authority, he would immediately arrange for people to pour dirty water on him and induce the emperor to kill him.
Wang Heng is a ruthless and decisive person, and he will never leave any trouble in the future.
After killing Huaiguzi, the next step is Li Xin. After killing Li Xin, Wang will probably be responsible for leading the troops to quell the Huns. Taking this opportunity, Wang can place confidants in the army again.
At this time, Zhao Teng has probably been killed. He has dared to speak out on Huaiguzi's side recently, so don't blame yourself for being ruthless. By then, the position of internal historian should be held by one of his close associates.
As a result, the military and civil affairs of Xianyang City were completely in the hands of the Wang family.
Wang Heng looked up at Ji Ming, who was standing in the corner with an attentive look on his face, and nodded slightly in his heart.
With Ji Ming's help in the palace, everything will be much easier to handle.
A few months ago, when I had a secret conversation with my grandfather, it seemed that he wanted Hu Hai to succeed him after the emperor's mausoleum collapsed, and then the Wang family would take control of the government.
This plan can be described as audacious. But now Wang Heng is no longer satisfied with this plan.
The plan cannot keep up with the changes. Now the situation has changed, which is very beneficial to the Wang family. Perhaps taking this opportunity, the Wang family can escape the fate of being a minister.
King Wu can defeat Zhou, the three families can divide Jin, the Tian family can replace Qi, and Qin can destroy Zhou. The change of dynasties is the way of heaven.
Now that the Wang family has made such great achievements, replacing the Qin clan and ruling the world, is there anything wrong with it?
Wang Heng sighed slightly in his heart: It's not that I want to usurp the throne, it's just that it's what everyone expects. God can't take it, but I have to bear the blame.
The more Wang Heng thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he couldn't help but smile.
A few months ago, the Wang family was still in danger. Since he took charge of the Wang family, he has made successive attacks, which actually gave the Wang family a chance to make a comeback.
"I am truly an outstanding person in the world." Wang Heng thought about how excited he was and couldn't help laughing.
People who were too far away did not hear clearly, but Zhao Teng stood beside him and heard the words clearly.
He glanced at Wang Heng in confusion, then quietly moved a little further away from him.
Zhao Teng thought to himself: Is this a great person in the world? This person is as shameless as Huai Guzi. He is dangerous, very dangerous.
Wang Heng felt Zhao Teng's gaze. He was a little embarrassed at first, but soon showed his disdain. He thought to himself: What do you know? I am a soaring roc in the sky, and you are just begging for food among the branches.
Just a little sparrow.
At this time, wooden nails and incisors were brought to the palace by several complainants.
Mu Ding looked at the majestic palace wall and felt a little dizzy. He had already lost his way. In a blink of an eye, he saw a group of palace maids walking by. Mu Ding suddenly blushed and his heart beat, feeling that he was in a fairyland. But it turned out that he had just lost his mind.
, saw the expressionless Qin Zu again, and suddenly felt frightened.
Wooden Pin looked nervous, while Qianzhi was very excited. He had already begun to think about how he would brag to others after returning to his hometown.
Incisor looked at the floor tiles under his feet and thought: Why isn't it made of gold? If I told them it was made of stone, it would be too ordinary...
The group of people were all thinking wildly. Suddenly, the little eunuch leading the way stopped and turned around and said, "After entering the door, you will see His Majesty. Please don't be rude."
The Guizhou leaders all nodded nervously. Suddenly, Mudeng said: "The villain...the villain wants to make it easier."
As soon as this statement came out, many people said: "I also want to make it easier."
The young eunuch was a little speechless: "Don't you want His Majesty to wait for you? Just hold it in for me."
The more the young eunuch thought about it, the angrier he became: I can hold it in, why can’t you hold it in?
Dou Ding and others were brought in. These people were very self-conscious. After entering, they started to salute. However, the salutes were various and messy.
When the courtiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but smile.
Ying Zheng looked at the front teeth standing at the front and said calmly: "Who are you going to sue?"
Even the most well-informed Qianzhi was a little timid at this time. He lowered his head and stammered: "Little man, I don't want to sue anyone. I just... want to beg your majesty to be lenient.
Let me wait for my new wife to go back."
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Heng. Wang Heng knew that he was confronting the head of Guizhou.
So he stood up and said: "Those Huns have evil intentions and are clearly spies. Are you their accomplices?"
These Guizhou leaders were all startled and shook their heads.
At first, Wang Heng succeeded in frightening them. But when these people thought about it, they realized that they were already on the verge of death. In this life, they lived half-starved and half-fed every day, and they were destined to have no descendants left.
Now it's easy to see a glimmer of hope, but it's about to be taken away again. What's the fun in living in such a hazy state?
So Qianqian boldly appealed for himself and also helped the Hun woman: "If they are really spies, wouldn't it be better to come to Xianyang City? Why should they go to the countryside and marry us?"
And after they get married, they work diligently and endlessly every day, they really want to live a good life, and there is no sign of spies at all."
Wang Heng was stunned for a moment and said: "This is the cleverness of the Xiongnu women. They act like this so that we, the Qin people, will not doubt them."
Wang Heng's words were a bit arrogant. But no one could say anything. After all, this possibility was indeed possible and could not be denied.
Zhao Teng had now boarded Huaiguzi's pirate ship, and could only walk all the way to the dark side. So he gritted his teeth and looked at the courtiers: "Everyone, although there is no direct evidence about the Hun woman, but who is right and who is wrong?
, I believe you all know it well. Do you still want to join Wang Heng in suing Huaiguzi?"
The courtiers were a little hesitant. According to what these Guizhou leaders described, those Huns women were probably not meticulous. So, were they really banished to the Central Plains and arranged to marry poor people to carry on the family line?
But the courtiers then thought about it, and it took only more than a month for Ban Xian and Li Xin to destroy the Xiongnu. This was even more unreliable.
So they smiled slightly and said to Zhao Teng: "Li Xin's previous attack on the Xiongnu was quite successful. He may have destroyed some tribes and plundered some women. Therefore, they were sent to the Central Plains to marry poor peasants as wives. But...
...To say that banished immortals can destroy the Xiongnu within a month, we absolutely cannot believe it."
Li Si smiled slightly and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the banished immortal has not come back yet, so everything cannot be concluded. It is better to wait for a day or two, and the truth will naturally come out."
Ying Zheng nodded and said to the young eunuch next to him: "Place these common people in the palace."
Wooden Pin and Incisor were so happy that they followed the young eunuch out in a hurry.
Ying Zheng looked at the courtiers and said calmly: "You should also retreat."
The courtiers responded and left one after another.
Ying Zheng asked the young eunuch beside him: "Have you written everything down?"
The young eunuch bowed and said: "Write it down. Thirty percent of the court supports Wang Heng. One percent supports banishing the immortal. The remaining 60% did not participate."
Ying Zheng hummed: "Check these three people. See who is following the wind and trying to gain some benefits. Who is Wang Heng's party and follows him to add fuel to the flames."
The young eunuch responded and hurried away.
Ying Zheng looked at the memorials on several cases and thought: Why hasn't Huai Guzi come back yet? Has he really been defeated?
Ying Zheng felt restless, so he stood up and walked outside the study. He saw Poppy waiting there with Wei Young.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Are you here?"
Meiren Yu responded: "We want to inquire about the news. Is Fu Yao... back?"
