When Ying Teng heard this, his expression changed immediately.
Naturally, he had heard of malaria, which was a terrible plague that had occurred frequently in China in the past, with heavy casualties every time.
But malaria usually breaks out when the world is in turmoil. Now that the world is stable, why did malaria suddenly break out, and why did it happen to His Majesty?
Ying Teng looked solemn and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Xia Wuji said: "How could I lie about this kind of thing? As soon as I came to the side hall and saw Your Majesty, I felt vaguely aware of it, so I immediately asked the eunuch to inform Zong Zheng. At present, Your Majesty is still infected with malaria.
If it has not been reported, Zongzheng will handle it with caution."
Ying Teng looked at Xia Wuji coldly. After confirming that Xia Wuji was not lying, his face was still full of distrust and said: "Your Majesty has not been out of the palace in recent days, how could he be infected with malaria?"
Xia Wuji shook his head: "I don't know."
"But please stay away from Zong Zheng. Malaria is contagious. Zong Zheng is getting older. His Majesty's physical condition is now worrying. Zong Zheng still needs to take charge of the overall situation. As a doctor, I will do my best to treat your Majesty."
Ying Teng wanted to ask again, but finally held back.
Regardless of whether what Xia Wuji said is true or not, His Majesty does have a physical problem. This matter cannot be leaked to the outside world at the moment. Once it becomes known to the outside world, it will definitely cause turmoil in all directions. This is something Da Qin cannot tolerate now.
Ying Teng has been in a high position for many years and is very decisive in dealing with things.
He immediately ordered the news to be blocked, and ordered the guards to guard the side hall where His Majesty was. It was strictly forbidden for anyone to enter or exit, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to reveal His Majesty's true situation.
After a series of actions, Ying Teng re-entered the hall.
Yong Temple.
Hu Hai stretched out and threw the brush aside, preparing to take a rest. He had been practicing calligraphy for more than half an hour and was feeling a little tired.
Just as Hu Hai was walking towards his dormitory, a eunuch suddenly came to report.
Zhao Gao asked to see him.
Hu Hai frowned.
He muttered a few words and looked a little impatient, but he still got up and went to the side hall.
As soon as he entered the palace, Zhao Gao walked up impatiently and said respectfully: "Master, I have something important to discuss now. Please quickly remove the maids and eunuchs around you."
Hu Hai waved his hand, signaling the surrounding maids and eunuchs to retreat.
After making sure that there was no one else around, Zhao Gao finally raised his head and said, "Sir, something happened to your Majesty."
Hu Hai, who was originally a little dazed, suddenly became excited, as if he was startled by Zhao Gao's words, his eyes flashed with displeasure, and he said sternly: "Zhao Gao, what are you talking about?!"
Zhao Gao's expression did not change.
Ning Sheng said:
"Sir, how dare I lie about this matter?"
"Something happened to your Majesty!"
"I am a eunuch, and there are some close people in the palace. Just in front of me, I suddenly heard the news that Your Majesty is ill, and it is a serious illness. At present, Xianyang Palace has been surrounded by guards. Zong Zheng
We have already arrived at Xianyang Palace, and a large number of doctors have also rushed to Xianyang Palace."
"Your Majesty, the situation is not good!"
Hu Hai's expression completely changed.
He stared at Zhao Gao with horror in his eyes, as if he did not expect that Zhao Gao was so bold and dared to speak ill of his father.
Zhao Gao remained unmoved.
He said coldly:
"Sir, I am your Majesty's close servant, how can I hope that something will happen to your Majesty?"
"But nothing is absolute. What if something happens to His Majesty?"
"I have to think about the young master!"
Hu Hai didn't listen at all.
shouted angrily:
"Zhao Gao, shut up."
"My father will be fine. My father is a man of ten thousand gold, the lord of the world, and the supreme emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He will definitely be protected by the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty. How can something really happen?"
"Zhao Gao, I used to regard you as my teacher, so I was very patient with you. But if you still dare to speak ill of your father, or even make slanderous remarks, don't blame me, Hu Hai, for being ruthless. Although I, Hu Hai, are young,
But I also know that I should abide by my filial piety. As a son of man, how can I allow you to curse my father with evil words?"
"Zhao Gao, who gave you the courage?!"
Hu Hai rarely gets angry.
He was already extremely angry.
Although he had no independent opinions, he still respected and respected his father from the bottom of his heart. Zhao Gao's words had already caused Hu Hai great dissatisfaction.
Being scolded by Hu Hai, Zhao Gao looked a little confused.
A trace of resentment flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes, but he could only suppress his anger at this time. After Hu Hai had almost vented his anger, Zhao Gao said: "Young Master, I have always served you, how could you not know that your majesty has the most important feelings for you?"
The heart of boxing? But the matter has come to this, and people should look forward."
"Of course I don't want anything to happen to your Majesty."
"It's just that the young master can't be so rash anymore. Everything should be based on the overall situation. Now His Majesty's life and death are unpredictable. As your Majesty's favorite young master, the young master should step in to take charge of the overall situation and maintain order in the palace. Moreover, the young master should consider it for himself."
"Young Master may not know something."
"Your Majesty's health is actually not as good as it used to be."
"After contracting the disease this time, even if it can be recovered, it may be difficult to return to the original state, and it will take a long time to recover. However, the world's political affairs are urgent and there cannot be a moment of delay. Therefore, the court is in urgent need of a young master who can stabilize people's hearts.
"
"I would like to ask the young master to come forward and stabilize the court!"
Hu Hai's face changed slightly.
He naturally understood what Zhao Gao meant.
He said coldly:
"Zhao Gao, I don't know if anything has happened to my father yet. Even if something does happen, the eldest brother should be in charge of stabilizing the court. Why would it be my turn?"
"Besides."
"There is still Zongzheng in Da Qin."
"Zong Zheng has been working in the court for decades and has never seen anything happen. Even if my father is really ill, Zong Zheng can handle it in an orderly manner. Why is it our turn to be in charge?"
"Zhao Gao, what exactly do you want to do?!"
Hu Hai was already wary of Zhao Gao.
He had realized that something was wrong with Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao's expression slightly condensed.
He also did not expect that Hu Hai, who had always obeyed his advice in the past, could become so rational when faced with the First Emperor's illness, but he naturally could not give up his own ideas.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"I want the young master to be the crown prince!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "And now the young master has only one way to become the crown prince."
"This is not alarmist talk."
"Young Master, right now I only think that Your Majesty is suffering from a minor illness, nothing serious. But I heard the news from over there that His Majesty's illness was very sudden and very rapid. This is not something that an ordinary physique can sustain."
"Even if His Majesty is infected with the cold."
"But does the young master really know the fatality rate of wind cold?"
"If ordinary people are infected with wind and cold, they will not survive. Even if His Majesty has an imperial doctor to treat him, it is not easy to completely cure him. If His Majesty is so easy to treat, how can Xianyang Palace face a formidable enemy?"
"Son..."
"Your Majesty may not be able to survive this!"
Zhao Gao was already kneeling on the ground, his forehead pressed to the ground, and his words were filled with tears, and his mood was very sad and sorrowful.
"Shut up!" Hu Hai shouted again.
Zhao Gao ignored it and continued: "I dare to continue talking."
"I know that the young master has a kind heart and has no desire to compete for the crown prince. However, the young master was born in the emperor's garden. The young master has no other choice. If he does not compete for the crown prince's position, in the end, everything he has now will be taken away."
"Is the young master really willing to do this?"
"Young master, you think you can live the rest of your life peacefully without fighting or grabbing? But your idea is really ridiculous. Do you really think that the eldest son is an easy person to get along with?"
"The eldest son is backed by the Chu family. These people have always been ruthless and ruthless, and they will go to any lengths to do anything. Otherwise, His Majesty would not be so disgusted by it. People from the Chu family are like this, let alone the leader.
The eldest son?"
"Everyone says that the eldest son is lenient, but who knows that he is not just pretending?"
"Young master, how dare you put yourself in the hands of others?"
Hu Hai's expression froze.
He retorted: "Even if the eldest brother is a hypocritical person, at present, the eldest brother is disliked by his father. The chance of the eldest brother becoming the crown prince is slim, and to be honest, the most suitable person for the crown prince position is the tenth brother, and
In my opinion, the eldest brother is no better than the tenth brother."
Zhao Gao sneered.
sneered:
"Young Master, are you joking?"
"If the Tenth Young Master comes to power, will we still have a way to survive?"
"What do you mean?" There was a hint of doubt in Hu Hai's eyes. He did have some feelings towards Qin Luoheng, but it was just some complaints and dissatisfaction. Moreover, he had almost never met Qin Luoheng in the past. Why not?
A way to survive?
Zhao Gao said coldly:
"When other young masters succeed to the throne, the young master more or less has a chance of survival. Only when the tenth young master succeeds, the young master has no chance of survival. The young master does not have much contact with the tenth young master. The only contact is at the palace, but
But in fact, it's not."
"It's just that the young master forgot!"
"Master, do you still remember that eleven years ago, I hurried to Yong Temple one day?"
Hu Hai thought for a moment and didn't remember.
Eleven years ago, it was too long ago. He was only three or four years old at that time. How could he possibly remember it all of a sudden?
Hu Hai sarcastically said:
"Young Master seems to have really forgotten."
"But I have not forgotten it."
"And I dare not forget it."
"Young Master must have heard about Wei Si's execution some time ago, but do you know that I was actually promoted by Wei Si? Of course, this is nothing, because the court has already found out, and I did not have much interaction with Wei Si later on.
.”
"But the young master may not know something."
"The reason why the government is so cautious in the investigation this time is actually because Wei Si is involved in another matter, which is the 'assassination death' of the Tenth Young Master eleven years ago. The Young Master should have remembered something now.
Bar?"
A hint of joking appeared on Zhao Gao's face.
Hu Hai was stunned.
He thought about it carefully.
Faintly, I seemed to remember something.
a long time.
He looked at Zhao Gao fiercely, with a look of horror in his eyes, and said: "I remembered that on the day that the tenth brother had an accident, you suddenly came to Yong Palace and said that you were unwell at the time and couldn't stop urinating. You were afraid that the government would find you lazy, so you wanted to
Let me testify on your behalf that you were with me all the time, and I felt soft-hearted, so I really agreed."
"And you're lying!"
"You are not feeling unwell at all."
"You are actually participating in the 'murder' of the tenth brother!"
