Chapter 422

Zhao Gao didn't want to go to Jiuyuan Commandery at all in his heart, even if he was serving as Commandery Governor.

But what is the point of being the Commandery Governor of Jiuyuan Commandery?

The border land is sparsely populated, not to mention the place where Jiuyuan Commandery is located, most of which are mountainous areas, and there are no people. There are only a few border people there, and besides that, they are all border troops.

Even if he served as Commandery Governor, he probably couldn't command the border troops there.

But Ying Zheng's words were so clear, how could he refuse?

If he refused, he would only deeply offend Ying Zheng.

'It's just serving as Commandery Governor for a few years anyway. As long as the Net is still in my hands, I can still control everything...' Zhao Gao thought so in his heart, and said to Ying Zheng: "Zhao Gao accepts the order!"

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "I hope you can make some achievements!"

While speaking, he also stated the arrangement for another matter, "Since you are going to Jiuyuan Commandery to serve as Commandery Governor, it is not suitable for the Net to be controlled by you anymore 08."

"Your Majesty..."

It was truly raining and leaking, and Zhao Gao never expected that Ying Zheng was prepared to take back his control of the Net. After hearing the name of the Net, he was suddenly a bit anxious.

It can be said that the Net was his greatest reliance.

Although over the years, he had used his own means to make the Net riddled with holes, and the people inside only knew him, the master of the Net, and did not know His Majesty the Emperor, but this kind of thing could not be said on the table, and there was another premise, which was that he was the master of the Net.

If Ying Zheng took back his control of the Net, perhaps he could rely on his past influence to order a part of the Net members to be used by him, just like Lao Ai back then, but this was different after all.

Zhao Gao never expected that Ying Zheng would take back his control of the Net.

After hearing this, he was a bit anxious and didn't think carefully.

How could there be such a good thing in this world, letting you serve as Commandery Governor and also letting you continue to control the powerful organization of the Net? If so, where would it put the other Commandery Governors? Why is Zhao Gao special, or is it because he is serving as the Commandery Governor of Jiuyuan Commandery?

So when Ying Zheng appointed Zhao Gao as Commandery Governor, taking back the Net had become an inevitable thing.

It was a pity that Zhao Gao didn't seem to be so smart, or perhaps he didn't know when he started to treat the Net as his own private property, and never thought that the Net was a fierce weapon of Qin and was never his personal property. As the master of the Net, he was actually just helping Ying Zheng manage the Net on his behalf.

Zhao Gao was unwilling to hand over the control of the Net, so after hearing this, he quickly said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the Net is a fierce weapon of the empire and is extremely important. If it is easily granted to others to manage, I fear it will..."

He didn't say what he feared, but some things only need to be said halfway.

He believed Ying Zheng would understand.

Especially since Ying Zheng had been assassinated by the Net back then.

At that time, the controller of the Net was Lu Lu Buwei.

"Don't worry, I have already found a suitable candidate. You don't need to worry about the Net. Zhao Gao, go and be your Commandery Governor well. I hope you can govern the Jiuyuan land well."

Ying Zheng didn't seem to have any intention of changing his words.

Zhao Gao actually understood that since Ying Zheng had made up his mind, how could he easily change his decision?

I'm afraid that when Ying Zheng summoned him here today, he had already made such a decision.

On one hand, he appointed him as the Commandery Governor of Jiuyuan Commandery, and on the other hand, he took back the control of the Net in his hands.

But the reasoning was the reasoning, but the more he thought about it in his heart, the more unwilling he was.

But what can he do if he is unwilling?

Zhao Gao didn't have the courage to disobey the imperial order.

Especially since Ying Zheng had become the Emperor at this moment, once his golden mouth was opened, if he dared to disobey, even if he had followed Ying Zheng for eight years, he would definitely not get any good results.

As for other means, such as claiming illness, firmly refusing to go to Jiuyuan Commandery to take office, and using this way to stay in Xianyang, thereby controlling the Net.

Zhao Gao just thought about it and gave up.

He seemed to have no other choice.

"Yes!"

This word 'Yes', Zhao Gao said in a tone of gritting his teeth. When speaking, his head was lowered, and his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness. And when he raised his head again, all this anger and unwillingness disappeared.

After returning to the mansion, Ying Zheng's people soon followed one after another. They came to take back the token representing the master of the Net in Zhao Gao's hands.

In the Net, the hierarchy is strict.

In the past, they only recognized tokens, not people.

The token of the Net is like the tiger tally in the army, which has extremely important significance.

After handing over the token representing the identity of the master of the Net and watching Ying Zheng's people leave, Zhao Gao's heart became more and more angry.

He gritted his teeth, and his body couldn't help trembling.

In the past, he was a person who was extremely good at forbearance, but some things, even he, could not endure.

Just like at this moment, Ying Zheng took away his Net.

Yes, after Ying Zheng handed the Net to Zhao Gao back then, Zhao Gao never treated the Net as an institution of Qin, but as his own thing. Over the years, although the Net was helping Qin do things, in Zhao Gao's view, this was just his extra grace, letting the Net help Qin.

For a eunuch, because he was castrated, he lost many things.

If he were a normal person, the Net would be equivalent to Zhao Gao's wife.

Ying Zheng taking away the Net is equivalent to taking away his wife. This is the hatred of taking a wife, which cannot be forgotten!

Compared with the Net, what is a Commandery Governor? As long as the Net is still in his hands, he can use the Net to kill all the thirty-six Commandery Governors.

"Hateful, hateful!"

Zhao Gao roared in anger, but the more he roared, the more incompetent he appeared.

What made him even more angry was that the next day, in the imperial court, Ying Zheng ordered someone to read out the imperial decree appointing him as the Commandery Governor of Jiuyuan Commandery, which meant that the wood was already a boat, and Zhao Gao could only go to Jiuyuan Commandery to take office within the specified time limit.

He had no choice.

Seeing that the facts were so, gradually, Zhao Gao also calmed down.

Whether it is unwillingness or anger, at least, he still has a chance.

Even if he lost the Net, at least, he became a Commandery Governor. As long as his political achievements are outstanding, he still has a chance to return to Xianyang.

"I will definitely come back!"
