At this time, the streets of Xianyang were full of people.
The officials, braving the night rain, hurriedly ran around the city.
Many people are awake tonight.
It was already Yin hour, but the lights on the city were brightly lit.
Washington.
Huaji has just received an urgent order.
He sat cross-legged on the table, with a solemn look in his eyes.
Hua Fu frowned and said, "What does the order issued by the government say?"
Hua Ji said: "This is an order from the eunuch. It says that His Majesty has an order to summon all the officials to have an audience outside Xianyang Palace at three o'clock in the Yin hour."
"Your Majesty is awake?" Hua Fu's eyes were filled with joy.
There was a hint of worry in Hua Ji's eyes, and he said uneasily: "Your Majesty is indeed awake, but it is the quarter of the Yin hour, only half an hour away. Your Majesty is so anxious to summon all the officials, I am afraid he has to announce something in a hurry."
"Your Majesty may have a serious health problem!"
Hua Fu's smile faltered.
He also realized that the situation was not good.
Time is too urgent.
If His Majesty was in good health, he would not be in such a hurry to summon the officials, nor would he be in such a hurry to announce the matter. He would only need to send orders to the Prime Minister's Office and let the Prime Minister's Office handle various matters in accordance with the law. There is no need to drag his sick body to summon the officials.
official.
It's like being in a hurry to explain the aftermath!
"What are you going to do?" Hua Fu said calmly.
Hua Ji shook his head.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"I'm in a mess now too."
"If Your Majesty is really in danger, this summons may be to explain the funeral arrangements. Your Majesty must be aware of the current chaos in Xianyang. In order to stabilize the court and the overall situation, Your Majesty will probably hand over the position of Crown Prince to the eldest son.
.”
"The eldest son has a rough temperament, but he is not a Mingjun of Qin Dynasty."
"It's just that the situation in Daqin is like this."
"well!"
Hua Ji let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with emotion.
In fact, he is not very willing to accept the eldest son's rise to power. Fusu is indeed talented, but he does not know much about the way of governing the country, and he is too close to one party. If Fusu rises to power, their Guanzhong clan will inevitably be suppressed, not to mention that he does not think that
Fusu can stabilize the current situation.
But the situation dictated that there was nothing he could do.
Hua Fu sighed:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"You were so wise and powerful in the past, why did you become confused about the successor? Qin Luoheng is not as good as the eldest son? Just because he was declared 'dead', the time to make it public was repeatedly delayed, so that now he can only withdraw.
And seek the next best thing.”
"His Majesty."
"Why did you have to suppress it earlier?"
"Otherwise, how could Da Qin end up in the current situation?"
Hua Fu's heart was full of anger.
If Qin Luoheng's identity had been announced early, the crown prince position would not have fallen to Fusu. But now because of the sudden illness of the First Emperor, in order to maintain stability, Fusu could only be crowned king. What could he do?
Maybe you don’t feel aggrieved?
Hua Ji sighed again.
Comforted:
"This is just some speculation and cannot be taken seriously."
"Perhaps His Majesty's condition has improved, and after hearing about the outside world, he wants to arrange and deal with it himself."
But he himself didn't believe this.
He got up, straightened his clothes, and hurried towards the palace.
They can't change what His Majesty wants to do.
It's impossible to change.
...
Yong Temple.
After leaving Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai stayed in the palace and kept inquiring about the First Emperor, but he did not get any useful information.
While Hu Hai was pacing back and forth, Zhao Gao suddenly entered the hall.
Seeing Zhao Gao, Hu Hai quickly asked: "Zhao Qing, have you ever found out any information? How is my father's health now?"
Zhao Gao's eyes were a little gloomy.
whispered:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's really hard."
"I have just received an order. Your Majesty summons all officials to come to court at three o'clock in the morning. This order is too urgent. I am afraid that Your Majesty's body really cannot hold it anymore, so he is anxious to announce his funeral. With the current situation
Judging from the situation, His Majesty’s chosen candidate for the second emperor must be the eldest son!”
Hu Hai's expression froze.
Surprised and said:
"Didn't Father wake up?"
"Why do you think my father is going to announce his funeral?"
Zhao Gao looked a little impatient.
He said urgently:
"Sir, if your Majesty is really recovering from a serious illness, you only need to write a letter to let Li Si and others do things easily. Why did you summon all the officials in such a hurry?"
"Master, please don't forget."
"Your Majesty is infected with malaria!"
"Malaria has been incurable since ancient times."
"Even I know about this matter, so how can your Majesty not know about it? Your Majesty has finally come to his senses this time, and he will definitely explain his funeral arrangements in advance. The reason why the city is in chaos today is precisely because no one in the imperial court dares to make the decision."
"How could His Majesty not notice it?"
"His Majesty will definitely announce his funeral arrangements this time in court!"
Zhao Gao also looked very ugly.
He originally thought that after the First Emperor contracted the disease, he would immediately fall ill. He never thought that Qin Luoheng's medical skills were so superb that he could temporarily wake up the First Emperor. If the First Emperor really made arrangements for his funeral, he would
After doing so much, wouldn’t it all be in vain?
But now that the First Emperor is not in the palace, even if he wants to do something, he has no chance to do it.
He could only stare at this moment.
Hear the words.
Hu Hai's expression completely changed.
He said sharply:
"Zhao Gao, what did I tell you before, don't have bad thoughts? What about you? You have to force me to do things. How are you doing now? My father has woken up. How do you want me to see my father later? Zhao Gao
You made me miserable!"
"Why did I just listen to your nonsense!"
Hu Hai was extremely uneasy.
He knew what he had done.
The father was already drafting a posthumous edict, but he interrupted it. If the eldest brother came to the throne and found out about this, what would happen to him?
These are all caused by Zhao Gao!
He could have stayed out of the matter, at least he would not have committed such a big disaster, but in the end, because of Zhao Gao's bewitchment, he was put in danger step by step.
At this moment, he was ready to kill Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao's eyes were dark.
said:
"Young Master, these are indeed my suggestions, but I do it all for the sake of the Young Master."
"And the young master also knows that malaria is a plague. Once infected, there is almost no life or death. Your Majesty will not be an exception. But who would have thought that Qin Luoheng's medical skills are so good that he actually wakes up in a short time."

"Right now, the city is in chaos. The nobles of the six countries are fleeing in large numbers. Hundreds of scholars have also left. The local people are panicking. The situation was originally very favorable to the young master. As expected, when something happens to your majesty, the young master will be the best candidate. But who can
Did you expect that His Majesty would suddenly wake up?"
"What to do now?" Hu Hai asked.
Zhao Gao's eyes were rolling, and he really couldn't think of a way.
All I can say is:
"Now that the matter has come to this, we can only protect ourselves wisely."
"When the young master saw your majesty later, he immediately burst into tears and acted like he was devastated. He put all the problems on caring for your majesty. The young master is your majesty's son. Your majesty should not be too upset when you see the young master being so sincere.
Too much blame.”
"Master, you must remember this."
"Whether His Majesty asks or not, he always insists on one point of view."
"Young Master, you are careless and confused. You were only thinking about His Majesty's safety. Therefore, you made mistakes in a hurry and did those wrong things. Now you regret it, and you must try your best to persuade Your Majesty so that His Majesty will not really do it.
of blame.”
Finished.
Zhao Gao looked a little gloomy.
He did not think Hu Hai would be punished.
After all, Hu Hai was the son of the First Emperor. Even if the First Emperor was dissatisfied, tigers would not eat their own children, and the First Emperor had been deliberately avoiding chaos in the clan, so Hu Hai would only be scolded a few times and would not really receive any real punishment.
But he is different.
He is just a eunuch.
If he is really investigated, he may not be able to escape the blame.
Can't help but.
Zhao Gao's eyes were full of resentment.
His dislike for Qin Luoheng has reached its extreme.
If it weren't for Qin Luoheng, his arrangement would probably have been successful. When Hu Hai came to power, how could anyone trace him again? But now, thanks to Qin Luoheng's treatment, the First Emperor was able to wake up, which resulted in all his actions being in vain.
How could he not resent Qin Luoheng?
Hear the words.
Hu Hai calmed down a little.
He waved his hand in disgust, signaling Zhao Gao to go out.
After Zhao Gao left, Hu Hai rolled his eyes and seemed to remember something. He whispered to the eunuchs around him: "Get me some ginger water and go quietly without disturbing others."
"I'm of great use!"
Finished.
Hu Hai continued to pace in the palace and came up with some emergency measures.
It didn't take long.
Hu Hai's eyes were red, and his tears couldn't stop flowing. He was sobbing slightly, and his whole body was completely immersed in grief.
...
Tonight in Xianyang City, although the night is as dark as ink, the candlelight in the city never stops extinguishing.
Whispers could be heard from time to time in the houses everywhere.
Ying Zheng sat on the couch with a tired look. Although he was covered with several layers of thick mattresses, his mouth was still trembling. He woke up and did not ask about the situation outside, but he seemed to have a clear understanding of what was happening in the outside world.
So as soon as he woke up, he ordered all the officials to go to court.
Finished the order.
Ying Zheng seemed to have been drained of energy and became weak again. However, his somewhat swollen eyes never closed, but he tried hard to hold on.
He couldn't sleep and didn't dare to sleep.
He knew very well what he meant to Da Qin.
He was worried that if he fainted, he would not be able to sleep at all. He still had many things to explain. It was precisely because of the strong sense of crisis in his heart that Ying Zheng never dared to close his eyes for a moment, even though his eyes were already overwhelmed.
He just had a dream!
He saw a scene in the future as if in a dream----
Like Duke Huan of Qi Jiang Xiaobai, he refused to leave the palace when he was about to die, and a huge turmoil occurred immediately after his death. At this time, Wang Jian and Wang Ben appeared one after another. Wang Jian supported the crisis according to the emperor's established strategy, and tried his best to deal with it without fighting.
Everyone compromised and stabilized the overall situation with difficulty and properly.
But Wang Ben is not like that.
He resolutely led his troops to pacify Xianyang, rejected all strategies and orders that were not in line with the emperor's plan, quickly arrested those who wanted to seize the fire, and supported Fusu on the throne in one fell swoop. His firmness and sharpness were almost the same as when he suppressed the Lao'ai rebellion.
Just when his heart was sore and hot, he woke up with a start.
Because he remembered something.
Wang Jian is dead.
Wang Ben is also dying at this moment.
The scene in front of him suddenly changed. The 800-mile Qin Palace was burned to the ground, and the black flag of Great Qin fell behind him and at his feet.
The Qin Dynasty died...
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng's eyes were about to burst, and he was extremely angry. He woke up immediately, and what appeared in front of him was not Wang Jian or Wang Ben in his dream, but a young figure.
