Chapter 325: Soldier Meng Tian was buried in Xianyang with the funeral party...
Ying Zheng looked at Hu Hai, sighed softly and said: "Zhao Gao, retreat, Hu Hai, you should also retreat."
Hear the words.
Zhao Gao did not dare to resist the order, nodded his promise, and then slowly retreated, but before leaving, he signaled Hu Hai with his eyes.
Hu Hai, who originally wanted to leave, immediately understood, stopped immediately, knelt down and cried bitterly: "Father, please let me stay in the palace. Father is unwilling to leave. At present, father is seriously ill and needs his son."
I serve you. As the son of a human being, how can I leave at this time?"
"My son won't leave!!!"
Later.
Hu Hai looked at Xia Wuji and other doctors, and said dissatisfied: "As doctors, you have been saying that you can save lives and heal the wounded, and that you can rejuvenate. Why can't you cure malaria? I, Hu Hai, don't believe it. No one in the world can cure it.
malaria?!"
"If you are incompetent, then hire someone who can."
"Father, I would like to ask my father to prepare an imperial edict and invite famous doctors from all over the world to come to Xianyang to treat my father's illness. Please don't refuse. Your father is the king of Qin. Father, you must not let anything happen to you."
Ying Zheng raised his eyelids tiredly.
He didn't speak.
There was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
He was very conscious at this time. It was precisely because he was dying that he had a thorough understanding of his past actions, and he truly realized the shortness of life, and he truly realized that he had been the crown prince for many years.
How much harm will it cause to Da Qin.
Over the years, he had been mired in the Qin revolution and could not extricate himself, but it had made him fall more and more into chaos and intolerance. Now that he was dying, he was alert to the danger of the void in the succession of the empire's highest power.
In the past, his ambition was too high and he was too demanding about perfection.
Created by the Empire, he seeks innovation, change and perfection.
When it comes to establishing a crown prince and dealing with the aftermath, he also pursues innovation, change and perfection. Since the beginning of Shang Dynasty, most of the princes in the world have established eldest sons, but in Ying Zheng's view, the eldest son should not be the choice for the crown prince.
standard.
He also did not want to accept this old tradition.
Therefore, he has always been interested in tempering the method for establishing a new prince.
But I haven't found a good way yet.
He had high hopes for Fusu. Fusu was indeed the most popular candidate for the crown prince at the moment. However, Fusu had different political views from him, and he had never understood the essence of the rule of law in the empire. Therefore, Ying Zheng had always been dissatisfied with Fusu.
.
Now that he was seriously ill, Ying Zheng instinctively had a premonition that his life was about to end.
The sobriety at this moment may be God's last favor for him, teaching him to properly arrange his posthumous affairs. Two figures kept appearing in Ying Zheng's mind, and in the end only one figure remained. He felt that his time was running out, and he did not know.
If I pass out, can I still regain consciousness?
Therefore, he must leave an edict today.
However, how to write this edict requires caution and caution.
Even though the situation in the Xianyang court was stable, without him as the first emperor, it is hard to say that there would be no unexpected events. Now Hu Hai has had different intentions, and other princes will also have ideas if he is not guaranteed. Fusu is hundreds of miles away, and it will be difficult to return to the court in a short time.
Xianyang can't stand any trouble.
Any move must be prepared for eventualities.
As for Qin Luoheng.
He didn't think much about it.
Qin Luoheng is indeed more suitable relatively speaking, but he is the least suitable at the moment, because Qin Luoheng's identity has not been announced to the outside world. If Qin Luoheng is suddenly announced as the crown prince, it will not only cause criticism in the court, but also cause controversy.
There will be internal strife among the other princes, and there will definitely be chaos in the court.
Da Qin cannot afford such losses.
Therefore, he almost never considered establishing Qin Luoheng. Thinking of this, Ying Zheng also showed a touch of sadness in his eyes. He thought he was very judgmental and insightful, but he always felt that Qin Luoheng's temperament was not calm enough and needed to be tempered again and again, so he kept suppressing Qin Luoheng.
Falling balance.
But if he had announced it earlier, why would he be in such trouble?
So that now we can only give up completely?
The biggest variable at the moment is the imperial edict. He must be prepared for any eventuality. Fusu is hundreds of miles away now. If the imperial edict establishing Fusu as the crown prince is publicly issued, the biggest variable will be
Before Fusu arrived in Xianyang, something happened in the palace.
This kind of thing is not impossible.
Think about it.
Ying Zheng still chose a compromise.
He did not establish the crown prince, but asked Fusu to rush back to Xianyang to preside over the funeral. Fusu was the elder brother, so he should conduct his own funeral, and the other brothers could not object. Although Fusu's lenient views were contrary to those of the courtiers, Fusu
People in the court had high expectations for Fusu, and he had always had high expectations for Fusu. If Fusu returned to Xianyang to preside over the funeral, he would definitely be crowned the second emperor by the courtiers.
What he wants to do now.
It was just to allow Fusu to return to Xianyang according to the imperial edict.
Moreover, when he was critically ill, there would be no chaos in the court, and other young masters could be relatively peaceful in these few days. As for the follow-up, he could no longer think about it.
But then, Ying Zheng considered the Guanzhong clan again.
If he died, let Fusu support the funeral, and then let the courtiers discuss the establishment of a second emperor. This also meant that the candidates for the second emperor could only be these young men in the palace.
This will undoubtedly arouse opposition from the Guanzhong clan.
Many of these clans know Qin Luoheng's identity, and they may directly announce Qin Luoheng's identity in the court, and even push Qin Luoheng to ascend the throne. Although Fusu has a certain influence in the court, he has no influence in the army.
How much prestige.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to convince the public!
Ying Zheng thought a lot about the aftermath of his death. He had never felt that establishing a heir apparent would be so difficult, so he was already a little undecided.
a long time.
He finally decided.
In Ying Zheng's mind, he had already drafted an edict.
As a soldier, he belonged to Mengtian, and he was buried in Xianyang with the funeral party. He met with ministers and elders to discuss the establishment of a second emperor!
Ying Zheng said weakly: "Brush, ink."
Finished.
Ying Zheng stood up solemnly and managed to sit up. He had only one thought in his mind: he must grit his teeth and hold on. He must finish writing this testament and must not give up halfway.
He picked up the pen tremblingly and wrote the edict with difficulty.
"The soldier belonged to Mengtian and was buried in Xianyang with the funeral..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hu Hai was already crying. He knelt on the ground and kept sobbing. He didn't know whether he was mourning for the First Emperor or for his own future destiny, but Ying
Zheng couldn't care about this anymore. He took a strong breath and wrote tremblingly.
This edict could only be written by himself.
He can't trust other people!
Ying Teng also knelt on the ground, his eyes already red. Seeing the First Emperor so weak, how could he not feel grief-stricken?
However.
Ying Zheng still didn't get over it after all.
After writing the word "burial", he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell slumped onto the couch. Xia Wuji quickly stretched out his hand to support Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves and broke away from Xia Wuji.
He could feel that his body was not only alternating between hot and cold, but also extremely weak, to the point where he could no longer hold the pen.
But so what?
He is the emperor!
How can you show weakness to others?
His pride wouldn't allow it!
Ying Zheng continued to sit up, and the hand holding the pen was shaking. Xia Wuji felt sad for a while, and admonished: "Your Majesty, maybe the diagnosis is wrong. Your Majesty, you should lie down and rest first. I will give it to your Majesty now."
Prescribe medicine."
Ying Zheng ignored it.
He knows his own body best.
He was indeed terminally ill.
Ying Zheng was also very sad at this time. He had actually felt unwell for a long time, but the government affairs were heavy and he had no time to rest. He never dared to rest. Now that he suddenly contracted malaria, he suddenly exploded the hidden diseases that had accumulated earlier.
His body finally couldn't hold it any longer.
Sickness comes like a mountain.
He felt it very deeply at this moment.
He couldn't help thinking that if he had listened to other people's advice and paid more attention to his health, he might not have become seriously ill all at once.
But it was too late.
He picked up the pen and prepared to continue writing.
At this time.
Xia Wuji hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "I am incompetent and cannot cure your majesty, but I feel that the malaria your majesty contracted is not necessarily incurable. It is true that I can't do anything about it, but I think Qin Luoheng may have a way."
.”
"I sincerely request that Qin Luoheng be summoned to the palace to see your Majesty."
Hu Hai, who was kneeling on the ground, looked stagnant.
He immediately objected:
"no."
"Qin Luoheng is not a doctor at the Imperial Hospital, so how can he be allowed to save my father? Moreover, my father cannot be exposed when he is sick. I cannot trust Qin Luoheng."
Ying Zheng's eyes darkened slightly.
He thought for a long time and then shook his head.
said:
"No need."
"It's better to let him live in peace for a while."
"I don't want him to see me so weak!"
"and......"
"I have malaria!"
"I know better than you what kind of disease malaria is. There has been no cure since ancient times. Otherwise, ancient and modern people would not have chosen to close down the city or kill them on the spot!"
"Your Majesty." Xia Wuji wanted to persuade him again.
Ying Zheng's attitude was very firm and unmoved at all.
Ying Teng knew the reason.
The First Emperor was a man with an arrogant temperament, and he was also a person who cared about his appearance. Normally, the First Emperor would definitely be willing to meet Qin Luoheng. After all, Qin Luoheng was the son of the First Emperor, and as a king and father, how could he not want to
Seeing his own heir?
But now the First Emperor is suffering from a serious illness that is almost incurable. Seeing the First Emperor in this state, he may not appoint Qin Luoheng as his heir. Seeing Qin Luoheng, I am afraid that the First Emperor will feel guilty.
, and the father, son, monarch, and ministers have long known each other. If Qin Luoheng failed to cure the First Emperor, he might blame himself for the rest of his life. Is this what the First Emperor wants to see?
It's just that Hu Hai is His Majesty's son, but he deliberately blocked it, which is really chilling.
Ying Teng couldn't help but persuaded: "Your Majesty, I think Dr. Qin should come and take a look. His medical skills are superb. All the doctors in Tai Hospital are full of praise for his medical skills. Malaria is indeed difficult to treat at the moment, but Qin
Luo Heng is not an ordinary person, so he may not be unable to find a cure."
"Your Majesty is the Emperor of Qin."
"The world is all tied to Your Majesty. If something happens to Your Majesty, the world may fall into turmoil and peace will never be restored. Although I am incompetent, I am willing to risk my life to remonstrate."
"Your Majesty should think of the world."
"I sincerely request your Majesty to send Qin Luoheng to the palace for medical treatment."
Ying Zheng raised his eyelids with great effort and glanced at Ying Teng. The anger he had just raised was completely dissipated by the words of several people. He could no longer hold the pen in his hand. His whole eyes felt black and he was completely dizzy.
