General Qin

Chapter 502 Tempting Zhao Gao

After Zhao Tuo's marriage, this grand court meeting can be said to be one important event after another.

Qin Shihuang not only reformed the official system, divided the counties and counties in the world, appointed and removed guards and lieutenants in various places, but even launched a new war.

The speed of his movements made Zhao Tuo dizzy.

Fortunately, the content of this court meeting is over, and Zhao Tuo is relieved.

He was afraid that the emperor's steps would be too big at once, and a lot of projects would be carried out in a short period of time, which would waste money and people, and eventually make people in the world resentful.

After Zhao Tuo thought about the unification of the empire, there were not too few projects started and planned.

The first one is the big project of relocating the nobles from the six countries. According to the latest news, Tu Sui has taken all the Tian clans of Qidi into custody, and began escorting them to Guanzhong.

The counties and counties of Dongjun, Sanchuan, and Yingchuan along the way are also gathering the clans of Wei and Han. When Tu Sui's army arrives, they will be escorted to Guanzhong together. It is estimated that it will be done in about two or three months.

There are a large number of these people, and how to settle them after arriving in Guanzhong is also a lot of things. Moreover, this is only the first phase of the project. The Qin State will also start work on the clans of Zhao, Chu, and Yan in the future. It can be said that the amount of work is huge.

However, this matter is very important to stabilize the hometown of the princes, and it will help eliminate the hidden danger of Qin's death, so it must be done.

The second project is Chidao which was put on the plan. According to the plans of many ministers of the Qin State, there are currently six Chi Roads to be built in the early stage, which is in line with Qin State's behavior of advocating the six.

In the original history, the work of Chidao also started this year.

Now it was proposed by Zhao Tuo with slight changes. According to his plan, after Chi Dao is repaired, it will be a major project for the benefit of the people. It will not only benefit the head of Guizhou, but will also facilitate the subsequent migration of nobles from the six countries, and will complement the migration plan.

If these two projects are big projects that are beneficial to the stability of the country and the people, the announcement today that the connection from Shu County to the South Yi is also considered a major national event, and Zhao Tuo supports it.

The rest of the construction of the Six Kingdoms Palace and the Lishan Mausoleum made him a little unhappy.

"The palaces of the Six Kingdoms are still short of the completion of the Qi Palace. This matter cannot be persuaded. A patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder will never allow his palace to lack one of the six."

"The Lishan Mausoleum is going to be rebuilt. The emperor despises the royal tomb that has been built for 26 years. Now it has been ordered to be rebuilt into an imperial mausoleum. The scale is much larger. I heard that cinnabar is transported from Bashu to smelt mercury. Into the underground palace."

"Hey, in ancient times, death is like life. It is a taboo for the emperor to build the mausoleum. If you dare to speak, you are looking for death."

"There are too many projects now. I have to divert the emperor's attention and find something for him to do. Otherwise, my father-in-law will think about starting projects indiscriminately as soon as he is free. I have to think about it and get it for him. Come out with something that doesn’t consume people’s energy.”

Just when the court meeting was over, Zhao Tuo was racking his brains to find something for the emperor to do.

But the emperor first sent someone to summon him to have an audience alone.

On the way to the side hall of the palace.

CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gao led the way while chatting with Zhao Tuo.

"My younger brother not only has the eldest son Gaojue, but also is in charge of the Shaofu with the most subordinates among the ministers. It is really enviable."

The 21-year-old eldest concubine, who became the emperor's princess, is now one of the nine ministers, and is also the young man in charge of the emperor's money and many functions.

This kind of life made Zhao Gao's mouth sour with envy.

Zhao Tuo smiled slightly and said: "Brother was just joking. I am clear about your ability. If you are released as an official, you will be able to make meritorious service. You will be promoted to rank and worship officials. It is also possible to become Jiuqing in the future. If you are willing, brother, I will ask Imam later to let my elder brother come into my young mansion and be a prime minister of the young mansion to help me do things."

Hearing this, Zhao Gao paused.

Under the Shaofu, there are six prime ministers.

He is the deputy of the Shaofu, ranks thousands of stones, has many people under his command, has great power, and is a very important position.

And Zhao Gao's own CRRC government order is only six hundred shi, which belongs to the Tai Pu Cheng's jurisdiction.

If he was really transferred from the CRRC Mansion Order to be the Minister of the Shaofu, then he would really be promoted.

In addition to the promotion of Zhilu, he will also have greater power.

As far as Zhao Gao knew, the six prime ministers under the command of the Shaofu all held positions of real power.

Shaofu Tongcheng, in charge of taxation and minting coins.

Shaofu Prisoner, in charge of tens of thousands of prisoners being imprisoned.

As for the others, they are also in charge of affairs such as the Royal Forest Garden, general treasures, and intrauterine medicine and meals.

No matter which one of the six young ministers, they have much more power than a CRRC government order who can only control the court officials.

Therefore, Zhao Gao really felt moved.

He stared at Zhao Tuo who looked at him sincerely, feeling grateful.

Zhao Tuo, good brother!

He is really developed, and he did not forget to mention his elder brother, and it is not in vain that he has done a lot for Zhao Tuo before.

Zhao Gao knew very well that with Zhao Tuo's current status and the favor he received from the emperor, if he asked the emperor for help, he would have a very good chance of exposing him.

Answer or not?

Zhao Gao took a deep breath, and there was a battle between heaven and man in his mind.

But soon, his rationality overcame the surging desire in his heart.

He came from a humble background and experienced being sentenced to death by Meng Yi, so he was very eager for power.

It is naturally good to be the prime minister of the Shaofu, with a rank of Qianshi, and in the central court, he is a first-class official under the Jiuqing.

But it wasn't attractive enough for him.

"In Qin, the emperor is everything. I was implicated and sentenced to death by Meng Yi, and I was pardoned by the emperor, which is enough to show the benefits of winning the emperor's heart. The reason why the emperor pardoned me is precisely because I followed him all day long. Driving a chariot by his side, answering legal questions, and writing imperial edicts for him has accumulated goodwill."

"Although the position of CRRC Fuling does not have much power, it is by the emperor's side and is a real close minister. And once I go out and become the prime minister of the Shaofu, I will leave the emperor, and I will have no chance to get close to him in the future."

"It seems to be promoted, but in fact it has lost the real way to reach the sky!"

Zhao Gao finished thinking in his heart and made a decision.

He cupped his hands to Zhao Tuo and said, "My brother is kind, and I accepted it for my brother's heart. It's just that Zhao Gao is a lowly person. He was promoted today, and he was reborn with kindness. He was very grateful. Zhao Gao has nothing else in his life, he only wants to drive for the emperor." A horse, being a coachman, is already content."

Zhao Gao's voice was very sincere, and even a tear of emotion came out of his eyes, and he looked like a loyal servant.

He very much hoped that Zhao Tuo could relay what he said now to the emperor from behind his back, that would surely move the emperor's heart.

But the emperor was not moved yet, but Zhao Tuo was "moved" by Zhao Gao's words, and he sighed: "My brother is loyal, but I took the liberty."

"Where did you say that brother Xian, you can think of me at this time, it warms Brother Wei's heart, I am very grateful."

Zhao Gao laughed.

Zhao Tuo also smiled.

Pity.

He smiled on his face, but secretly sighed in his heart.

Zhao Gao, it really is not easy to win.

What happened just now was a tentative attack he launched against Zhao Gao.

This is what Wu Sunzi said "to lure him with profit".

As long as Zhao Gao was lured by the post of Shaofu Chancellor and left the emperor's side, an important reason for Qin's death in history would be directly eliminated by Zhao Tuo.

It's a pity that I don't know whether Zhao Gao is really loyal to the emperor now, or if he thinks this position is not enough, after all, he didn't agree to Zhao Tuo.

However, Zhao Tuo's mentality was very stable and he was not discouraged.

In fact, he could bypass Zhao Gao and directly ask the emperor to transfer this person out.

But in that case, there is a great risk of failure. After all, the emperor trusted Zhao Gao very much, and he was used to using his horse to write an imperial edict, so he might not give it to Zhao Tuo.

If it fails, it is very likely to startle the snake, which is not beautiful.

Instead, Zhao Tuo first tempted Zhao Gao with his position as the prime minister of the Shaofu. If Zhao Gao was tempted, the chance of success would be increased.

Even if Zhao Gao disagreed, or Zhao Gao agreed, but the emperor finally refused.

That's okay, it will only make Zhao Gao feel that Zhao Tuo only wants to take his elder brother to take off, and he will only feel grateful in his heart.

"Anyway, I'm not at a loss."

Thinking so, Zhao Tuo followed Zhao Gao into a side hall.

At this moment, Qin Shihuang had just sat down and hadn't had time to start working.

However, the case in front of him was already full of bamboo slips, which looked like a hill of bamboo slips.

That should be the emperor's next task.

With the character of Qin Shihuang, he would not rest until he finished reviewing the bamboo slips.

"The emperor has to review more than one hundred catties of slips and slips a day. Whether it is carrying or reviewing, it is very tiring. In history, he died before the age of fifty. Maybe there is also a reason for this."

Zhao Tuo stared at those bamboo slips, secretly sighing in his heart, and at the same time, his desire to change this situation became stronger and stronger.

But after Zhao Tuo saluted and stood up, he hadn't had time to speak.

The emperor went straight to the point and talked about the purpose of calling Zhao Tuo this time.

"When the world was first established, it was to prevent the nobles of the six countries and the heads of Guizhou from the four directions from causing chaos. I ordered the guards and captains from all over the world to collect the soldiers from all over the world and gather them in Xianyang. I want to sell them and cast others."

"Nowadays, all the weapons in the world have been collected, and the remaining matters should be taken care of by the Shaofu."

"I ordered you to be the young mansion today, and I want to know what you think about this matter?"

After the words fell, Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched slightly.

Unexpectedly, less than a day after taking office as a young man, he would catch up with this important event.

Emperor, this is to create a spectacle!
