=======================================
"Prime Minister, how do you think our country, the Qin Dynasty, was founded to be able to dominate the world?" Zhao Gao continued to ask while the iron was hot.
"I think our Daqin has established the rule of law in the world. Who doesn't know who doesn't know it? The CRRC Order has been following His Majesty for more than forty years, why do you have such a question?" Li Si replied with great disdain.
"Then who does the Prime Minister think the First Emperor should appoint as his crown prince?"
"The eldest son supports Su Wentao's military strategy, and he deserves this position!"
"Does the Prime Minister know the difference between the eldest son Fusu and the emperor's governance strategy?"
"This, this, Fusu advocates lenient governance and gentleness for the nobles of the six countries. Your Majesty, your Majesty advocates..." Li Si suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if he had fallen into a deep darkness, and he was so black.
No words can come out.
"Okay, Prime Minister, you won't say it, but Zhao Gao will tell you. The emperor has been adhering to the rule of law for decades. This is also the path of governing the country that has been poured out by His Majesty and the Prime Minister for decades! However, if the eldest son pursues leniency, he will inevitably deviate from the path of rule of law. Such a world will
There will be great chaos, the aristocracy of the old six countries may also resurrect, and the unified Qin Dynasty will be in danger of collapse. Only for this reason, there is only one foundation for the establishment of a new emperor: advocating the rule of law and pursuing the rule of law! Anyone who has doubts about the rule of law,
Anyone who has any doubts about Your Majesty's long-term strategy of restoration will not be allowed to ascend the throne of the Second Emperor!" What Zhao Gao wanted was Li Si's reaction.
"How could a servant from CRRC have such knowledge?" Li Si was a little surprised.
"It doesn't matter what Zhao Gao is like, the important thing is the Prime Minister. I think you, the Prime Minister, can take charge of the Qin government based on his merits, accumulate merit and be granted the title of Tonghou, and his descendants will all respect the position and be well-paid. He is the ultimate minister. Now the Prime Minister is in trouble.
If you don’t know it when you are about to come, and let your brilliant achievements in a lifetime go away like falling flowers and water, what else can Zhao Gaofu say?”
"It's nonsense. How can Li Si cause trouble when he obeys the law and obeys the law?"
"The general trend is clear, but the prime minister still can't say what he means. How sad! If we follow the emperor's decree, after the emperor dies, Fusu must be the emperor. If Fusu is the emperor, Meng Tian must be the prime minister?" Zhao Gao knocked on the case.
road.
"How did you know that I cannot be the prime minister?"
"Zhao Gao dares to ask, first of all, who has made the greatest contribution, the Prime Minister or Meng Tian?"
"Meng Tian consolidated the country's foundation internally, drove away the external troubles, and brought peace to the world. I have many merits and demerits."
"Secondly, the popularity of the government and the public, the hearts of the people in the world, who is the prime minister or Meng Tian?"
"It has been three generations since the Mengtian family entered the Qin Dynasty. They are highly regarded by the people, and everyone in the world calls them Meng Gong. I am not as good as him."
"Thirdly, in terms of talent and talent, who is Prime Minister or Meng Tian?"
"I am not as good as me when it comes to military, political, art, engineering, and learning. I am both capable of Mengtian and Tiantian."
"Fourth, who has a better relationship, Prime Minister, Meng Tian or Fu Su?"
"Meng Tian and Fu Su are both teachers and friends, I can't compare..." Li Si became a little impatient.
"Based on this, Meng Tian will definitely lead the country's affairs on behalf of the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister will be able to regain his position as Prime Minister!"
Li Si was silent for a long time, and then nodded.
"What's more, when Fu Su ascends the throne, not only will the prime minister be unable to resign and return to his fields, he will also be in danger of annihilating his family."
"Zhao Gao! This is unreasonable!" Li Si slapped the case angrily.
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be angry. Please listen to what I say from the bottom of my heart." Zhao Gao bowed deeply, looked at Li Si earnestly and said bitterly, "His Majesty, the First Emperor, has made great achievements throughout the ages, but he is also known as tyranny. If Su Mengtian is supported in the country, in order to calm the resentment of the people, he must do it.
The tyranny of the First Emperor was justified. Who could this scapegoat be? Naturally, it could only be the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister thought to himself: Everyone knows that the Prime Minister presided over the system of prefectures and counties, blaming the nobility and the heroes of the Qin Dynasty; Li Si advocated burning books, blaming the
Chinese civilization; Li Si advocated the persecution of Confucianism and blamed the Confucian scholars in the world; and when it comes to any major political killings, the Prime Minister has planned them in advance, and it can be said that every incident was initiated by the Prime Minister. In this way, anyone in the world who hates the Qin government must first hate the Prime Minister.
At that time, Fusu Mengtian killed the prime minister to thank the world, and the people of the world would applaud and applaud. Such a move that is in line with public opinion, why would the two of them not do it!"
"This, this..." Li Si was frightened when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Although he had thought about this problem himself, he had always held on to a glimmer of hope. Now Zhao Gao was talking all the way, and it was reasonable.
According to the evidence, Li Si had no way to refute it. His last glimmer of hope was finally shattered.
"Zhao Gao is right. The shore of the land is not the land of the king. Even if Fusu didn't kill him at that time, what's the use of resigning and returning to the fields? Lu Buwei was a living example back then. Everyone had already returned to the land of Luoyang, right?
Are they also sentenced to death by the First Emperor?" Li Si thought.
"It's just that Zhao Gao woke me up like this today. What does he want to do? Isn't he afraid that the servants who make friends with ministers should be killed according to the law? By the way, he just said that he wants to find a way out for his own family. Does he have any
Ask me? By the way, Fu Su is the emperor, Meng Tian is the prime minister, and Meng Yi must be the court captain. Considering Zhao Gao's numerous crimes, even killing him ten times is enough. It turns out that he is looking for a chance to survive! In this case
, why can't I make use of it? Maybe I can escape from death. Even a chamberlain can't turn him out of the palm of my hand. Let me see what Zhao Gao wants to do?" Maybe it's to survive in a desperate situation.
Li Si's instinct inspired Li Si's potential, and Li Si's mind became active. He finally saw Zhao Gao's intention. Li Si's eyes kept flickering until he finally became completely determined.
"No need to beat around the bush anymore, CRRC. Just tell me! What do you want me to do?" Suddenly, Li Si took the initiative to ask.
"You and I will join forces to coerce the emperor to issue another edict. After the emperor dies, he will support Hu Hai as emperor." Zhao Gao said indifferently.
"What? What? Coerce the emperor? Make another posthumous edict? Hu Hai? The second emperor?" Li Si was stunned.
"Are you surprised? Could it be that the Prime Minister is so thoughtful? Now that the emperor is ill and in danger, what's the point of just threatening him? As for Prime Minister Hu Hai, he should know clearly that as the king, Hu Hai must listen to the Prime Minister's advice; in this way, the Prime Minister can have a title and be known for generations to come.
Gu, who supported the empire with all his strength, is known as Zhou Gongdan. Does the Prime Minister want an emperor like the First Emperor?" Zhao Gao said teasingly. However, Zhao Gao omitted the detail that the emperor had three pills, he was thinking about even things.
You can also find someone to support you when you are exposed, so that you can have a companion on your way to hell.
Duke Dan of Zhou was the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and King Cheng of Zhou was young at that time. He used the emperor's rites to command the world, and he was the ultimate minister. In the more than 800 years of the Qin Dynasty, no one could compare with him. Everyone aspires to be a minister, and Li Si certainly does not
Exception. Zhao Gao explained so clearly and the prospect was so promising that Li Si was completely moved.
"In this life, don't you just want to have thousands of people respect you and be a lord for all generations?" Li Si thought. At this point, Li Si finally came together with Zhao Gao completely. He didn't think about what would happen in the future, because he had this
Confidence can control this Zhao Gao.
"But, what should we do about Qin Yang?" Li Si had one last worry.
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be careful. Even if the edict reaches Jiuyuan, it will be of little use." Zhao Gao smiled slightly.
When Zhao Gao went through the details of the emperor's edict, Li Si also laughed.
"Is this true?" Li Si asked in a deep voice.
"Absolutely no lies!" Zhao Gao answered with cupped hands.
"Okay! You and I are of the same mind and working together to achieve great things!"
"That's right, we are collaborating on big things!"
There was only a "pop" sound, and two pairs of dirty hands clenched together tightly. The two began to plan secretly...
In the evening of that day, the emperor's camp set off again. Yang Duanhe received an order from Prime Minister Li Si and was required to arrive at the Sand Dune Palace within three days. Yang Duanhe always respected Prime Minister Li Si, and the Qin army's long-standing tradition prohibited the execution of orders, so Yang Duanhe
and executed without hesitation.
The first emperor Ying Zheng wanted to wait for Qin Yang to return, but Zhao Gao said: "In the wilderness, people are trapped and horses are scarce, and the emperor is sick. It is really difficult to survive for a long time. It will be a blessing for the country to return to Xianyang as soon as possible." When Ying Zheng heard this, he felt that it made sense.
He also felt that reports from the camp were delivered to Jiuyuan every three days, and Qin Yang would know the location of the camp when he arrived in Jiuyuan, so he agreed to Li Si's instructions to set off for the camp again.
Three days later, at the beginning of the night of July 21, the emperor's camp finally arrived at the Sand Dune Palace (now in Guangzong, Hebei). The Sand Dune Palace was originally a summer palace built by Zhao Yong, King Wuling of Zhao, and was rebuilt after Qin destroyed Zhao.
It has been reorganized into a special palace for the First Emperor Yingzheng to go on hunting tours, and naturally all kinds of facilities are available.
After entering the palace, Ying Zheng dragged his weak body and insisted on approving several memorials. At the end of the day, he really couldn't hold on anymore. For three days, Ying Zheng did not take Qin Yang's medicine anymore because he
Knowing that according to the current itinerary, it would take at least half a month to return to Xianyang, and he was not sure that Qin Yang would be able to return to the camp within eight days. For this reason, he had no choice but to hold on. He wanted to use the medicine at the most critical moment. Three
Over the days, the effectiveness of the first medicine faded little by little. Especially today, the cold and fever attacks have occurred twice, causing Ying Zheng to wake up in and out of sleep. Ying Zheng finally decided to take the medicine again. But in these three days, Ying Zheng
However, Qin Yang had inexplicably forgotten everything about how to deal with Zhao Gao, as he had repeatedly warned, and Zhao Gao was still living well. Ying Zheng had thought about the seal, but he couldn't think of anything after thinking about it.
Thinking of someone who was trustworthy and not related to Zhao Gao and Li Si, the seal was still controlled by Zhao Gao as before.
But when Emperor Ying Zheng opened the box containing the pills, he was shocked because the pills had disappeared, not a single pill was left!
"Your Majesty, are you looking for this?" A cold voice came from behind.
When Ying Zheng turned around, he saw Zhao Gao, who was staring with a pair of strange blood-red eyes, holding three small white objects in the palm of his right hand.
In an instant, Ying Zheng understood everything. He looked at Zhao Gao expressionlessly for a long time.
"Zhao Gao, aren't you afraid that all nine clans will be destroyed?"
"Man is a swordsman, and I am a fish. Does Xiao Gaozi, who has no human roots, still have nine tribes? Your Majesty, if people do not care for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them, and Xiao Gaozi just wants to survive." Zhao Gao laughed wildly, and he no longer dared to look at Ying.
With Zheng's eyes wide open, he could only hide his panic with unbridled laughter.
"Xiao Gaozi, if you give me the medicine, I might be able to spare your life." Ying Zheng made his final effort. He did not call for guards because he knew that since Zhao Gao dared to do this, he must have made all preparations.
.But he was not afraid, because Zhao Gao alone was not enough to threaten the safety of the empire.
"Your Majesty can spare me, but what about Fusu? What about Meng Yi? Can they spare me too? Your Majesty, the matter is over, just accept your fate! Come, Xiao Gaozi will recommend another person to you. Prime Minister, come out..."
In an instant, a person swayed out from behind the curtain, it was Li Si.
"Your Majesty, Li Si, comes to see you!"
When Ying Zheng saw Li Si coming in, he couldn't help but take two steps back. The world was spinning for a while, and a surge of blood in Ying Zheng's heart instantly spread to his throat.
"I'm here, I'm here after all. Qin Yang, Qin Yang, Ying Zheng is a fool and doesn't listen to his subordinates. It's too late to regret it! Ying Zheng always treats the villain with the heart of a gentleman and the kindness of a woman.
The evil of the villain, regret it, retribution, retribution! Sand Dune Palace, Sand Dune Palace, Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong, if you know better, you should laugh at me, I, Ying Zheng, will destroy you, the sworn enemy of the foundation of the Zhao Kingdom.
Are you happy that I'm here to accompany you? Haha..." Emperor Ying Zheng kept mumbling and laughing wildly, his voice rising from nothing, getting louder and louder, until it filled the deep night sky.
go……
Suddenly, the First Emperor Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and Zhao Gao with gleaming eyes.
"Tell me! What did you do?" Ying Zheng roared angrily.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was still so powerful at this time, Li Si and Zhao Gao were so shocked that their knees weakened, and they both knelt on the ground with a "plop".
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I respectfully request that your Majesty issue an edict to abdicate and appoint the young prince Hu Hai as the crown prince. He will choose a day to ascend the throne." Li Si stammered.
"You asked to abdicate? Hu Hai, Hu Hai ascended the throne? You, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the First Emperor Ying Zheng could no longer suppress it. With a "poof...", a mouthful of blood spurted out, followed by another mouthful.
Blood splashed all over Li Si and Zhao Gao's faces, making them look a little weirder and evil.
"Er...wait...don't...think..." This sentence used up the last bit of Emperor Ying Zheng's strength.
After that, Ying Zheng slowly collapsed, his eyes wide open containing so much nostalgia for this world and so much unwillingness and anger...
He defended his last dignity with death!
This moment is the dawn of Bingyin day in the seventh month of the thirty-seventh month of the Qin Dynasty. (Note)
The first emperor who passed away suddenly never expected that Qin Yang, who carried the imperial edict to Jiuyuan, did not successfully complete his last mission. What Qin Yang encountered was also a test of life and death.
(Author's note: It can be said that the sudden and long death of the First Emperor Yingzheng was a turning point in the history of the Qin Empire. Since then, the Qin Empire has had a series of bad policies, common people rioted, and the restoration of the aristocracy has become higher and higher. Three years later, in AD
In 7 BC, Liu Bang invaded Xianyang and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. A great empire disappeared in the whirlpool of history, attracting the condolences and sorrow of countless descendants. This is truly a sigh! There is a poem to prove it: "Come and pay your respects when you are free."
Counting the spring and Autumn period, I have read all the vicissitudes of life in a cup of soil. I have fought for hundreds of battles, but I have been disintegrated for a while.")
=======================================
Note: Regarding the death of the First Emperor of Qin, there are two theories in the historical circles: "death of illness" and "murder". The murder theory was first proposed by Mr. Guo Moruo, and the person who murdered the First Emperor was Hu Hai. Here, the author writes the death of the First Emperor as being written by Li Sihe
Zhao Gao forced the palace and was so angry that Hu Hai was just a puppet. This is indeed a fabrication. But the novel is still a novel, so please understand.
