Chapter 54 Death of Zhao Gao

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Gao calmly.

If Cao Zhengchun hadn't found out, who would have thought that it would be the little man in front of him, 'Zhao Gao', who was trying to reap the benefits and plotting against Queen Wu Ying and Zhou Chen behind the scenes.

It’s true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured!

"Zhao Gao, I really didn't expect that even if Zhang De betrayed me, you would be someone else's."

"The two personal eunuchs around me have been with me for more than ten years and have always been regarded as my confidants. I didn't expect that they would end up having second thoughts."

"Haha, what I, the emperor, have really done is a bit of a failure!"

Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Gao and sneered again and again.

That's right, the person who plotted against Zhou Chen was none other than the personal eunuch who had followed Zhou Chen for more than ten years, 'Zhao Gao'.

To be honest, if Cao Zhengchun hadn't found out everything, Zhou Chen wouldn't have believed that the person who could have plotted against the Queen Wu Ying, Zhou Chen, the emperor, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would be an eggless person.

eunuch.

This Zhao Gao can be considered a character.

It's not because of how smart Zhao Gao is or how good his methods are, but because Zhao Gao is good at this point.

Let them all have to enter the game.

Zhou Chen didn't believe it. There was no one in the civil and military dynasties who couldn't see the strangeness in the death of Grand Tutor Yan Hua.

But these people pretended to be stupid and entered the game in a daze, blaming all this on the emperor Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Gao with a sneer: "Master Yanhua, it was you who poisoned him to death in the prison!"

When Zhao Gao heard this, his expression changed: "Your Majesty, this old slave has been wronged!"

"The old slave and Grand Tutor Yan Hua have no enmity in the past and have no enmity in recent times. How could the old slave poison Grand Tutor Yan Hua to death?"

"This old slave has always been loyal to the emperor."

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."

Zhao Gao knelt on the ground with a 'pop' and said.

Zhao Gao now understood why, when he was fighting Wei Zhong just outside the Yangxin Palace, Lu Bu waved the all-killing Fangtian Painted Halberd without caring about his safety.

It turned out that the emperor suspected him.

I want to solve it with him, Zhao Gao.

Fortunately, Zhao Gao reacted quickly enough.

Otherwise, he would really die under Lu Bu's halberd.

"Loyal?"

Zhou Chen sneered.

"The person you are loyal to should be someone else!"

"Zhao Gao, now that we've reached this point, you don't have to act in front of me anymore."

"Cao Zhengchun has investigated everything you have done."

"I didn't expect you to be so courageous. You dared to poison the Taifu to death in the prison and let me take the blame for you."

“It’s really good.”

"Tell me! Who is the person behind you?"

Zhou Chen stared at Zhao Gao.

A royal servant who betrayed his master and didn't tell him, but still wanted his master to take the blame for him, was really a coward.

Zhou Chen wanted to see who was hiding behind this and plotting all this.

After Zhao Gao heard these words from Zhou Chen, his expression changed drastically and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"It's over."

"The Emperor actually knows everything."

"It's all over now."

Zhao Gao's heart sank to the bottom.

Zhao Gao originally thought that he was well hidden and no one could easily discover him as a scheming person.

Unexpectedly, it was exposed in the end.

Based on the things he had done, Zhao Gao knew that poisoning Taifu Yanhua to death would be enough to kill Zhao Gao ten times.

"No, I have to run away quickly."

"Only by escaping may there be a glimmer of hope."

"Otherwise, Zhao Gao will definitely die."

Zhao Gao's eyes flickered and he immediately made a decision.

Without saying a word, Zhao Gao casually threw dozens of hidden weapons and shot them at Zhou Chen.

At the same time, Zhao Gao exerted force on his front legs and quickly retreated towards the entrance of Yangxin Hall at the back.

Zhao Gao knew in his heart that no matter whether he told the person behind it or not, he would inevitably die.

Then he has only one way to escape.

Shooting Zhou Chen with dozens of hidden weapons can give him some time and opportunity to escape, and hold Cao Zhengchun back for a moment.

I have to say that Zhao Gao's calculation was good.

However, no amount of calculation is as important as strength.

"Bold."

Seeing Zhao Gao shoot Zhou Chen with a concealed weapon, Cao Zhengchun's face turned cold.

With a wave of his hand.

The hidden weapon that Zhao Gao shot at Zhou Chen immediately returned and shot at Zhao Gao.

"puff."

Zhao Gao, who was about to escape to the entrance of the Yangxin Palace, was shot directly by dozens of hidden weapons. He fell down at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace and died immediately.

After Zhou Chen saw Zhao Gao Gao holding a hidden weapon, he died instantly. The blood spurted out was also dark black, and his face looked a little ugly.

Unexpectedly, these hidden weapons were coated with poison.

If he had just been hit by this hidden weapon, he would probably be dead in an instant.

"The Emperor atones."

"I didn't expect that Zhao Gao could use a concealed weapon, and the concealed weapon was even coated with poison."

"It's my fault for putting the emperor in danger."

Cao Zhengchun was shocked when he saw the poison on the concealed weapon.

Immediately kneel on the ground and apologize.

If there was even the slightest difference just now, something big would really happen.

"Get up!"

"It's not your fault."

Zhou Chen waved his hand and glanced at Zhao Gao, who was lying at the door of Yangxin Hall.

"Take him out and feed the dog."

Zhou Chen would never be merciful towards such a rebellious traitor.

When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he immediately asked the factory guards to drag Zhao Gao out.

…

"Cao Zhengchun, how are you?"

"Have all the matters outside the palace been taken care of?"

After dealing with Zhao Gao's case, Zhou Chen asked about what happened outside Cao Zhengchun's palace.

In fact, there was no need to ask. Seeing Cao Zhengchun's reaction when he returned to the palace, Zhou Chen already had an idea.

However, it's better to confirm.

"Back to the emperor, more than 20 rebels including the General's Mansion, the Minister of Official Affairs, the Minister of Rites, etc. have all been captured by the old slave."

"The old slave was worried about the palace, so he came back first. The matter of ransacking the house was handed over to the factory guards and the imperial army."

Cao Zhengchun immediately reported what happened outside the palace.

After listening to Cao Zhengchun's report, Zhou Chen finally showed a hint of relief on his face.

"good."

"Cao Zhengchun, you did a good job in this matter."

"Those who are not dead will be left to your Dongchang for disposal. I don't need to teach you how to do it!"

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun.

Even though I was worried, my heart was relieved.

As long as the important figures of the Grand General's Palace, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites are captured.

Then the queen's relatives and her party won't be able to make any big waves.

This matter can be considered settled.

Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will treat them well."

"Dig out everything you can from them."

How could Cao Zhengchun not understand what Zhou Chen meant!

These people who were captured were all big shots, and they had a lot of stuff on them.

It's easy to kill, but not so easy to dig out.

"How about the military camp outside the city?"

"Any news?"

Zhou Chen asked again.

What Zhou Chen was most worried about was the soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Six Guards in the southern camp outside the city.
