Chapter 680

The person recommended by Su Xuan was not originally in Ying Zheng's scope of consideration; he thought Su Xuan was idle and prepared to take charge of the Luo Wang's power, and if Su Xuan had this interest, Ying Zheng would not mind handing over the Luo Wang to Su Xuan to manage.

It is a pity that Su Xuan, as always, had no interest in this matter.

However, he had to admit that the person recommended by Su Xuan was indeed good.

In terms of ability, means, and even strength, this person was far above Zhao Gao; back when he had just regained the Luo Wang, Ying Zheng had not considered this person, but now, thinking about it again, the other party was actually an extremely suitable candidate.

More importantly, this person's threat level was not as great as Zhao Gao's.

Of course, even if the threat level was not great, the reform of the Luo Wang was also a matter that must be carried out.

As Ying Zheng said, after the world was unified, Qin was still reforming its system, let alone the Luo Wang.

At the same time, because the world was unified, he was prepared to change the responsibilities of the Luo Wang as well.

The Luo Wang of the past specialized in executing assassinations and espionage, lurking between the various states of the world, stealing confidential intelligence from various states, and assassinating important ministers of various states, thereby inciting internal chaos in the six states of Shandong.

Now that Qin has unified the world, a part of the Luo Wang's functions can be considered to have lost their place to be used.

Just in time, Su Xuan told him about the world outside the Nine Provinces, and Ying Zheng was prepared to send the Luo Wang out to expand outward, using it as a vanguard scout to inquire about news of the outside world.

As for whether the Luo Wang people would die due to accidents in this process.

Ying Zheng did not care.

Just because the members of the Luo Wang were originally a group of villains whose deaths would not be a pity; Qin gave them a chance to be reborn, so they must dedicate all their lives to Qin, in order to repay Qin for the grace of saving their lives.

After discussing the matter of the Luo Wang, Su Xuan left the Zhangtai Palace.

He left together with the leader of the Shadow Secret Guards, Zhang Han.

Earlier, when Su Xuan and Ying Zheng were discussing things, they did not deliberately avoid Zhang Han. So Zhang Han knew that Ying Zheng intended to change the master of the Luo Wang, but even if he knew, he would only choose to keep these things in his heart and would never express any opinion.

After leaving the Zhangtai Palace, Su Xuan glanced at Zhang Han beside him and said: "General Zhang Han!"

"State Preceptor!"

Zhang Han stopped, his attitude respectful.

As Ying Zheng's personal guards, the Shadow Secret Guards followed like shadows, guarding Ying Zheng's side at all times; it can be said that they were the people beside Ying Zheng who knew Su Xuan best; at the same time, Zhang Han was also deeply trusted by Ying Zheng, otherwise, Ying Zheng could not have handed over the matter of protecting his own safety to Zhang Han.

Earlier, when Ying Zheng and Su Xuan talked about the Luo Wang, they did not let Zhang Han avoid them, which itself was a manifestation of trust.

It was precisely because he was trusted by Ying Zheng that Zhang Han knew even more clearly the weight of Su Xuan in front of Ying Zheng.

At this moment, suddenly hearing Su Xuan call him, he thought Su Xuan had something to find him for.

"General Zhang Han, don't be nervous; it's just because I'm leaving the Zhangtai Palace with you, so I want to chat with you for a few words." Su Xuan noticed Zhang Han's nervousness and said softly.

Zhang Han's nervousness eased a little, but his expression remained serious.

"Are those people still easy to use?"

Su Xuan asked Zhang Han a question.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han was startled, and he nodded: "To tell the State Preceptor, I find those people very easy to use; if it weren't for those people, the Shadow Secret Guards could not possibly have today."

Back then, when the Luo Wang was just taken back, Ying Zheng, remembering the times the Luo Wang had repeatedly assassinated him while in the hands of others, thus the Shadow Secret Guards were born.

It is a pity that the Shadow Secret Guards at the time of their initial establishment, even if they tried their best to unearth experts in the army, were still no match for the Luo Wang; the turning point for all this had to start from the destruction of Han.

The destruction of Han, for Qin, was one of the six states of Shandong destroyed, which was a good start.

And for the "Night Veil" of Han, the time of Han's destruction was the time when they were collectively unemployed.

In any case, Su Xuan was also the master of the "Night Veil"; the "Straw-Cloaked Guest," the "Tide Enchantress," and others were loyal to him at that time, and these people played an extremely important role in the process of Han's destruction; Su Xuan certainly could not let the "Straw-Cloaked Guest" and others lose their jobs just like that, so the "Straw-Cloaked Guest" and others transformed, from the "Night Veil" to members of the Shadow Secret Guards, changing their jobs from assassination to protecting others, thereby achieving re-employment.

"That's good!"

Su Xuan nodded gently; today, it was also after seeing Zhang Han that he remembered the "Straw-Cloaked Guest" and others, so he asked.

Afterward, the silence returned between him and Zhang Han.

The two walked together for a while, and seeing that they were about to walk out of the Xianyanggong, Zhang Han said: "Does the State Preceptor not like the Luo Wang?"

Su Xuan's footsteps paused, and he said lightly: "I don't actually have any opinion on the Luo Wang; what I really don't like is Zhao Gao!"

Zhang Han was a bit surprised to hear Su Xuan's such straightforward words.

Su Xuan smiled lightly and didn't say anything more, then left the Xianyanggong.

After this secret talk about the Luo Wang ended, a few more days passed.

On this day, Ying Zheng summoned Zhao Gao in the Zhangtai Palace.

Zhao Gao just thought that Ying Zheng had something to entrust the Luo Wang to do, and didn't feel anything strange, so he stepped into the Zhangtai Palace.

Arriving at the Zhangtai Palace, he saw Ying Zheng wearing a crown and an imperial robe.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Zhao Gao!"

Ying Zheng spoke, and Zhao Gao immediately lowered his head, his body leaning forward slightly, revealing a posture of listening with extreme respect.

"It has been quite a few years since you started following me!"

Ying Zheng said to Zhao Gao.

"It has been eight years!"

Mentioning such things, Zhao Gao directly stated the specific number of years.

In the ninth year of King Zheng of Qin, Ying Zheng held his capping ceremony; it was also after that time that Zhao Gao took the opportunity to get on Ying Zheng's carriage and became Ying Zheng's confidant, until the end of the sixteenth year of King Zheng of Qin, when Qin destroyed Qi and unified the world; now it has come to the first year of the First Emperor, which is the seventeenth year of Ying Zheng's reign; Zhao Gao has been by Ying Zheng's side for just nearly eight years.

"Eight years, it is indeed not a short period of time."

Ying Zheng sighed.

These eight years have truly experienced too many things; from his succession to his personal rule, it took a full nine years, yet the things done in those nine years were ultimately not as brilliant as those in these eight years.

First executing Lao Ai, then dismissing Lu Buwei, and then conquering the six states, destroying them one by one.

Completing these things, he only used eight years; sometimes, Ying Zheng was even a bit proud.

Immediately, he put away his emotion, looked at Zhao Gao, and Ying Zheng stated the purpose of summoning Zhao Gao here.
