At the beginning of the 18th day of the seventh month (Renxu) in the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor of Qin, the sky was already bright, and the fiery red sun drove away the last trace of coolness in the summer morning. Ying Zheng took Qin Yang, who was fully armored and wearing a helmet, out. After entering the emperor's tent, Li Si, Yao Jia, Zheng Guo, Yang Duanhe and other ministers were waiting anxiously five feet away from the emperor's tent. Because the First Emperor had already ordered Yang Duanhe not to disturb him, no one dared to to disturb the emperor. But when they saw His Majesty the Emperor suddenly coming out of the tent with a sergeant, but Zhao Gao, who was inseparable from the Emperor, was nowhere to be seen, they were all shocked.
Ying Zheng ignored everyone's astonishment and only said: "My lords, please step aside. I will make my own decision about where to go today. I want to walk around, so you don't have to follow me."
"Your Majesty, you are weak, be careful of the cold. It is not appropriate to travel alone without an escort. Your Majesty, please think twice." Li Si is the chief minister of the camp and the prime minister of the dynasty. His silent words will not be able to accumulate power under the influence of the First Emperor. Indeed, no one dared to speak out and remonstrate.
"Does Li Qing think I'm weak? Do you think I'm about to die? I don't have any guards? Do you think my five thousand cavalry are useless?" After Qin Yang reminded Ying Zheng, he no longer has much affection for Li Si. He immediately retorted, and a huge imperial power instantly spread out.
But when Ying Zheng said this, Qin Yang felt vaguely uneasy, but for a while he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I deserve death." Li Si was so frightened by Ying Zheng's words that he broke into a cold sweat.
When Li Si looked up from the shock, Ying Zheng and Qin Yang had already gone far away. Only a group of people were left standing there in shock.
Ying Zheng and Qin Yang came to the small river. Following Qin Yang's whistle, Ta Xue, who could no longer bear it, waded through the weeds on the other side of the river and arrived in front of Qin Yang within a few seconds.
"Your Majesty, I am leaving, please take care of yourself!"
When it was time to say goodbye, Qin Yang could only say this sentence even if he had thousands of words. Thinking that this might really be a separation between life and death, Qin Yang's heart was about to break. At this moment, Qin Yang found that in himself The person in front of me is no longer an emperor whom people worship, but a person who is dear to me and whom I care about endlessly. His figure has been deeply engraved in my mind.
"Take care of yourself and go back quickly!"
When Ying Zheng said this, he didn't look like he was saying goodbye to a minister, but like a father giving instructions to a child who was about to leave for a long journey.
"drive!……"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
With Qin Yang's shout and Ta Xue's neighing, Qin Yang finally rumbled away like lightning with the rising sun.
Originally Qin Yang wanted to go out alone, but Ying Zheng believed that Qin Yang's whereabouts had been exposed, and his arrival had also aroused the vigilance of the guards. Ying Zheng was worried that Qin Yang might be in danger if he went out by himself, so he insisted on sending him away. Qin Yang thought about it and felt that what the First Emperor said was reasonable, so he stopped insisting, and then there was a farewell scene.
Ying Zheng and Qin Yang never expected that when the two of them said goodbye in public, all kinds of envious, shocked, horrified, and vicious looks would be intertwined on the two of them.
None of the ministers and soldiers watching all this from a distance knew who the "Qin Army sergeant" the emperor personally sent off was, and no one knew why the emperor suddenly sent someone out.
Ying Zheng watched Qin Yang gallop away until Qin Yang's back completely disappeared, then he slowly walked back to the tent full of melancholy. Even Prime Minister Li Si asked him again when the camp should start, but he didn't listen.
Because he was thinking about how to deal with the next thing.
In the big tent, the two guard soldiers in the outer hall were still asleep. There was no anger in Ying Zheng's eyes. Instead, he walked over and leaned down to shake the two of them. The two woke up slowly and saw His Majesty the Emperor beside him.
I was sleeping on the ground. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move.
"Why, you still need me to help you up?" A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face. Ying Zheng remembered that Qin Yang once told himself on the way to leave, that the old Qin people are now scattered in all directions, and the useful old Qin people have already been
There is not much left, so he should be kind to the three guards who were knocked unconscious. Since the three of them did not know the secret of the edict, Ying Zheng did not want to punish these people anymore. Maybe even Ying Zheng himself was not aware of his
Change, if in the past, for such a serious dereliction of duty, even if these people had ten heads, it would not be enough for Ying Zheng to chop it off.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me." The two of them were overjoyed when they saw that they had saved a life. They turned over and bowed, and left instantly.
Zhao Gao and the two maids in the inner hall were still collapsed on the ground.
Perhaps Qin Yang was a little uneasy under Ying Zheng's scolding, so the force of the blow to the back of Zhao Gao's head was too weak. Zhao Gao was only unconscious for more than half an hour, but he woke up when the First Emperor issued the edict, and he was about to win.
Zhao Gao listened to most of the conversation between Zheng Zheng and Qin Yang. It was just that Zhao Gao was very thoughtful. He knew that he had heard such a confidential matter, and the emperor would rather make the edict by himself than wake him up. He must not want him to know about it.
.If Ying Zheng and Qin Yang knew that he was awake, he would definitely die. So Zhao Gaoqiang endured the severe pain in his right arm and continued to pretend to be unconscious. Later, he heard Qin Yang talking about himself and Li Si, and even
His liver and gallbladder were split, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to speak out. It was not until Ying Zheng and Qin Yang left the camp and walked away that Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and tried to reset his dislocated arm.
But how could Qin Yang's technique be so good as that of ordinary people? Zhao Gao was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely, but to no avail. At this moment, the familiar footsteps of Ying Zheng sounded outside the tent, and Zhao Gao
In shock, he had no choice but to hold his breath and continue lying on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.
Ying Zheng drove away the two guards and entered the inner hall. When he saw Zhao Gao still lying on the ground, he felt unbearable for a while. Ying Zheng walked over and kicked Zhao Gao out of habit and shouted: "Little Gaozi
, wake up!" But Ying Zheng never realized that Zhao Gao was awake.
Zhao Gao was stunned and thought to himself: "Does the emperor know that I am awake?"
"No, the emperor is just used to calling me that. Whether it's death or not, I have to take a gamble no matter what." Zhao Gao's thoughts suddenly overturned his original idea. He decided to take a gamble, and his "gamble capital" was
Ying Zheng's unparalleled trust and deep love for him over the past decades.
Zhao Gao did not move, and seemed to have stopped breathing.
"Get up, little Gaozi!" Ying Zheng kicked him again, but his voice was already hoarse, and his panic was evident.
When Zhao Gao heard Ying Zheng shouting like this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He knew that he had won the bet. The emperor was just an "ordinary person" with seven emotions and six desires.
After a long time, Zhao Gao finally made some movement. The extremely painful groans kept coming out of Zhao Gao's mouth, and he started his performance. There was only one audience, and that was the First Emperor Ying Zheng.
Unfortunately, Ying Zheng was moved by such a performance. He walked out of the tent in a few steps and gave a verbal order: "Xuan Taiyi...". In the entire empire for decades, only Wang Bi was the only one who asked the emperor to personally order Xuan Taiyi.
Zhao Gao can enjoy this honor.
In a moment, the imperial doctor hurried over and spent a lot of effort to "wake up" Zhao Gao. He also helped Zhao Gao straighten his arms. By the way, he also woke up the two maids at the emperor's signal. Only then did he become frightened.
He took the two girls away. It was only then that Zhao Gao really "came to life". He just heard him whimper and immediately threw himself to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Gaozi is guilty of death. Xiao Gaozi failed to protect him well."
, let the thieves break into His Majesty's palace and disturb His Majesty. If Your Majesty makes any mistakes, Xiao Gaozi will die forever." Immediately, he burst into tears, his whole body was shivering, and sweat was pouring from his forehead. It was really uncomfortable.
Know if he is hot or scared!
When Ying Zheng saw it, he felt a wave of sadness. Thinking about the forty years of Zhao Gaoan's back and forth, and thinking about the recent few months when he was ill, Zhao Gao had been waiting day and night without clothes. Ying Zheng's heart softened inexplicably. He had long since
He threw Qin Yang's words out of the window. Although he believed Qin Yang's words, he believed in his own heart and his own judgment more: one possibility is that Qin Yang could successfully deliver the edict to Jiuyuan, and Meng Tian followed Qin Yang's edict.
Yang was the general, and then Qin Yang and Fusu returned to the hunting camp. He persisted for eight days with four pills and perseverance. After the two returned, he held a small court meeting and made Fusu the prince in public; another possibility is that
After Meng Tian obeyed the imperial edict, Fusu and Meng Tian followed the imperial edict and returned to Xianyang to join Meng Yi and Li Xin to supervise the country, waiting for him to return to Xianyang within eight days for a meeting of the imperial court to establish the crown prince, while Qin Yang returned to the hunting camp.
Of course, Ying Zheng also thought about the situation where he would not be able to return to Xianyang due to an accident, but even so, those two hypotheses were feasible with the support of the imperial edict. What's more, he did not believe that Zhao Gao and Li Si were alive when he was still alive.
They had so much courage to implement their conspiracy. However, Ying Zheng tried his best but never thought of Meng Tian's stubbornness, Fu Su's indecisiveness, and Zhao Gaoli Si's sinister human nature.
"Get up, stop howling there, I'm not dead yet." The First Emperor scolded with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, little Gaozi doesn't dare, wuwu..." When Zhao Gao heard the First Emperor's scolding, he was secretly happy. Having served the First Emperor for more than forty years, Zhao Gao knew the First Emperor better than he knew himself. He knew that the First Emperor scolded him.
, even if his life was saved, at least for now. However, Zhao Gao still wanted to make the show complete and not show the slightest flaw to the First Emperor.
"Get up when I ask you to. Do you still want me to help you?" Ying Zheng was furious and kicked him again.
"Yes!" Zhao Gao endured a kick from the First Emperor without hesitation, and then he slowly got up. His life was finally saved to the letter.
