Chapter 682

Zhao Gao did not want to go to Jiuyuan Commandery in his heart, even if it was to serve as Commandery Governor.

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

Border land, originally sparsely populated, not to mention the place where Jiuyuan Commandery is located, most of which are mountainous areas, and there are even fewer 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 Seeing Ying Zheng's words were so clear, how could he refuse?

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

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

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

While saying this, he also stated the arrangement for another matter: "Since you are going to Jiuyuan Commandery to serve as Commandery Governor, it is also not suitable for the Luo Wang to be controlled by you anymore."

"Your Majesty..."

It was truly "leaking house and meeting rain"; Zhao Gao never expected that Seeing Ying Zheng was prepared to take back his control over the Luo Wang; upon hearing the name "Luo Wang," he was suddenly a bit anxious.

It can be said that the Luo Wang is his greatest reliance.

Although over these years, he had used his own means to infiltrate the Luo Wang until it was riddled with holes, and the people inside only knew him, the master of the Luo Wang, and did not know His Majesty the Emperor, but this kind of thing cannot be brought to the surface, and there is also a premise, which is that he is the master of the Luo Wang.

If Seeing Ying Zheng took back his control over the Luo Wang, perhaps he could rely on his previous influence to command a part of the Luo Wang people for his own use, just like Lao Ai back then, but this is ultimately different.

Zhao Gao never expected that Seeing Ying Zheng would take back his control over the Luo Wang.

After hearing this, he was a bit anxious and did not think about it in detail.

Where in this world is there such a good thing—letting you serve as Commandery Governor and also letting you continue to control the powerful organization of the Luo Wang? If so, where does that put the other Commandery Governors? Why is Zhao Gao special, or is it because you are serving as the Commandery Governor of Jiuyuan Commandery?

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

It is a pity that Zhao Gao does not seem to be so smart, or rather, he does not know when he started to treat the Luo Wang as his own private property, never thinking that the Luo Wang is a fierce weapon of Qin and was never his personal property; as the master of the Luo Wang, he was actually just helping Seeing Ying Zheng manage the Luo Wang on his behalf.

Zhao Gao was unwilling to hand over the control of the Luo Wang, so after hearing this, he quickly said to Seeing Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the Luo Wang is a fierce weapon of the Empire and is extremely important; if it is easily handed over to others to manage, I fear it will..."

Fear what, he did not say, but some words, actually saying half of them is enough.

He believed Seeing Ying Zheng would understand.

Especially since Seeing Ying Zheng had been assassinated by the Luo Wang back then.

At that time, the controller of the Luo Wang was Lu Buwei.

"Rest assured, I have already found a suitable candidate; you don't need to worry about the Luo Wang's affairs. Zhao Gao, go and serve as your Commandery Governor well; I hope you can govern the land of Jiuyuan well."

Seeing Ying Zheng did not seem to have any intention of changing his words.

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

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

On one hand, appointing him as the Commandery Governor of Jiuyuan Commandery, and on the other hand, taking back the control of the Luo Wang in his hands.

But the reason is this reason, but in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he was.

But what can he do if he is unwilling?

Zhao Gao did not have the courage to defy the imperial order.

Especially since Seeing Ying Zheng had already become the Emperor, once his golden mouth opened, if he dared to defy it, even if he had followed Seeing Ying Zheng for eight years, he would definitely not get any good results.

As for other means, such as claiming illness and resolutely not going to Jiuyuan Commandery to take office, and through this way letting himself continue to stay in Xianyang, thereby controlling the Luo Wang in his hands.

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; while speaking, his head was lowered, and his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness; and after he raised his head again, all this anger and unwillingness disappeared.
