At night, Wang Wan was walking around the palace. During the day, the First Emperor suddenly proposed to build a palace, which made Wang Wan worried. Since the First Emperor ruled the world, the Qin State has been building large-scale construction projects every day or two. If the palace is expanded, the Qin State will really be in chaos. Moreover,
It will become more and more chaotic. There is no real strong person in this world. The reason why the Qin State can dominate the world is inseparable from the original reform to become stronger. At this time, the First Emperor's extravagant and excessive behavior made Wang Wan see the crisis.
, saw the future of Qin.
The flags of the Six Kingdoms flew into Xianyang, and the Qin people knelt on the ground helplessly, begging for their lives, but the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms showed no mercy, and still brandished their swords and guns, killing the Qin people. The Xianyang Palace and the imperial mausoleums turned into scorched earth.
The Wei River was dyed red with blood, and there were cries, begging and insults everywhere...
All this should not have happened. Wang Wan shed two lines of tears. He returned to the desk, sat on the soft mat, picked up the bamboo slips, and began to write furiously. He wanted to advise the First Emperor, even if the First Emperor died out of anger.
Even if he deposes himself or kills himself, he must strongly recommend it. If the First Emperor really carries out large-scale construction and builds palaces, I am afraid that all the fiscal revenue of the Qin State in the next twenty years will be wiped out.
It was not enough to rely on himself alone. Wang Wan decided that after drafting the memorial, he would visit all the ministers in the court overnight and use the power of everyone to force the First Emperor to retreat and force him to give up this idea and save the Qin State.
In a critical situation, especially Young Master Fusu, he will be his most powerful ally.
The oil lamp flickered. I don't know how long it took. Wang Wan finally finished writing the memorial in his hand. He blew gently with his mouth to dry the ink. At this time, he was sweating. He wiped the sweat with his right hand.
, looked at the memorial carefully to see if there was any disclosure. Suddenly, the door was kicked open hard, and there was a green sound: "Boom..."
A man in black ran in quickly. Wang Wan stood up quickly, pointed at the man in black, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"
"Prime Minister, I'm here to send you on your way! Haha" the man in black smiled evilly and took out his crossbow and aimed it at Wang Wan. Wang Wan hurriedly shouted: "There is a thorn..."
Before the word 'Ke' could be said, the crossbow arrow had pierced Wang Wan's heart, and black blood flowed down the arrow shaft into his hand. Wang Wan pointed hard at the man in black and asked with difficulty: "Who... let me
...let you"
Wang Wan still couldn't say the last word and lay straight on the ground. The man in black walked over, looked at Wang Wan's body, kicked him a few times, and left quietly.
...
In the early morning, the whole Xianyang city was in a state of excitement. The news that Wang Wan died of illness at home has been spread everywhere since unknown time. Some people also whispered that Wang Wan was assassinated, but no one knew the truth/
/ Prime Minister, no one dares to discuss it too much, for fear that if one word is not spoken well, it will lead to death.
In the Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor had just woken up and was washing up. Zhao Gao was waiting beside him and reported to the First Emperor: "Prime Minister Wang died of illness at home last night. Rumors have spread in Xianyang City. Many people with evil intentions are using this matter to
Create a great momentum in an attempt to cause riots in the city."
"Who are you referring to as the person with evil intentions?" the First Emperor asked coldly. Zhao Gao thought for a moment and said softly: "I heard that the soldiers in Mobei were dissatisfied with the rewards, especially the rewards from General Meng Tian. They made them in Xianyang
Rumor has it that I want to get an explanation for Meng Tian, and the former internal historian Jia Hong is even more dissatisfied with the transfer. I heard that he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and not long after leaving, the Prime Minister died of illness."
The First Emperor had finished dressing up at this time. After hearing what Zhao Gao said, he couldn't help but slap the table angrily and said in a hateful voice: "Wang Wan obstructed me from building the palace and deserved his death. But you must pay close attention. Anyone who dares to use this matter to cause trouble will be punished by me."
No tolerance."
"I obey the decree and will investigate this matter strictly."
The First Emperor nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"There is one more thing, but it's very strange. I don't know whether I should say it or not." Zhao Gao muttered. The palace suddenly became quiet. Zhao Gao's heart was beating. He raised his head and glanced at the First Emperor. Seeing that he was deep in thought, he lowered his head and waited.
Soon, the First Emperor asked in a deep voice: "What's so strange? Tell me about it."
"Here." Zhao Gao looked up at the First Emperor, pretending to be mysterious, and said softly: "Last night, something happened to fall in Dongjun. A strange light was as bright as day, and it was dazzling and visible for thousands of miles. After I heard this letter, I
I ordered someone to invite a hexagram master, and he got a hexagram. The meaning in the hexagram is that there will be someone in the court who is plotting evil, so there is this image."
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he stared at the First Emperor, wanting to see how he would react, but to Zhao Gao's surprise, the First Emperor did not make any reaction or decision after hearing this. He just lowered his head and pondered. I don't know how long it had been before the First Emperor finally
He looked up at Zhao Gao and warned: "This matter should not be made public, just investigate it secretly."
"Here." Zhao Gao stood up, picked up the dragon robe, and began to change the First Emperor's clothes: "Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court. Let's go to court."
...
In the front hall of Xianyang Palace, Li Si stood in the center of the hall. He stared at the Supreme Emperor, who was above him. Although he was beating a drum in his heart, he had to report Wang Wan's aftermath: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister died in the middle of the night, and Wu Zuo has gone to identify him.
, The Prime Minister died of old age and frailty. To ensure that the Prime Minister’s death is safe, Xianyang Mansion has sent troops to protect the Prime Minister’s Mansion, ensure the safety of Wang Wan’s family, and escort Wang Wan’s coffin to the funeral.”
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Prime Minister was assassinated. The wound was black and bloody. It was obvious that he died of poisoning!" A man walked out with his hands handed over. The First Emperor looked at it intently. It was the servant of the Chinese army who shot Zhao Lu. At this time, he
Having arrived at the center of the hall, he knelt on the ground and said again: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister died unjustly. Please order a strict investigation, so as not to chill the hearts of the people in the world!"
Li Si was shaking like chaff at this time, but he still managed to stay calm and argued: "Your Majesty, the three governments have confirmed the cause of death, how could it be possible to lie about it? Moreover, lying about it is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Who dares to take such a serious action? Your Majesty, please be clear.
!”
Li Si kowtowed and shouted, and suddenly there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Everyone was waiting for the First Emperor's decision. At this moment, Zhao Gao took a step forward and whispered beside the First Emperor: "Zhao Lu once followed General Meng Tian to the north to attack //
The Huns, because Meng Tian had evil intentions, could not be reused, so..."
When Zhao Gao said this, he glanced at the First Emperor. The First Emperor nodded slightly. He already knew it in his heart. But when Zhao Gao stopped talking, he also took a step forward and shouted: "Above the court,
quiet!"
Everyone bowed their heads in silence. The hall became quiet again. The First Emperor stared at everyone in the hall, feeling extremely angry. Today, the First Emperor only wanted to do two things. One was to understand the situation of the meteorite, and the other was to build a palace. He had already
After thinking about the name of the palace, I named it after the girl Afang in those days, and called it Afang Palace.
But at this time, their quarrel disrupted the slightest interest of the First Emperor. Just when the First Emperor was glaring at everyone with a dark face, Li Si, who was at a loss, wanted to speak and continue to argue, but Zhao Gao informed him first.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Li Si wanted to report something about the meteorite. Why don't you listen first? As for the cause of Wang Wan's death, why don't you let Shaofu Zhang Han investigate. I believe that Shaofu Zhang will deal with it impartially."
This matter."
The First Emperor was tired of this matter at this time, so he took advantage of Zhao Gao's words and said with a smile: "Where is Zhang Han?"
Zhang Han walked out quickly, came to the center of the hall, and knelt down next to Li Si: "I'm here."
The First Emperor glanced at Zhang Han and loudly ordered: "It's up to you to handle this matter. You must investigate this matter strictly for me and don't be careless in the slightest. Otherwise, I will question you!"
Zhang Han did not expect that Zhao Gao would kick this hot potato to him. At this time, he had to accept the order: "I will live up to your expectations and share your Majesty's worries."
The First Emperor nodded, looked at Li Si, and asked with a smile: "Li Qing, what do you want to tell me?"
"I checked the classics at night and found that meteorites can be used to refine an extremely hard steel. As long as Your Majesty can send people to transport the meteorites back, I am willing to go bankrupt and hire famous masters to forge swords for Your Majesty!" Li Si's words aroused the interest of the First Emperor.
Especially since he had already lost everything to repay himself, it made the First Emperor feel warm in his heart. Nailang smiled and said: "I have also considered the matter of the meteorite, but who should I send there?"
When the First Emperor was hesitating, Zhao Gao said softly: "The meteorite case is of great importance and should not be taken lightly. I think it would be more appropriate to choose a calm person from the clan and go to Dongjun."
The First Emperor nodded slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Fusu. However, after a brief meditation, the First Emperor felt something was wrong. He got up and walked in front of the imperial case. After wandering for a few steps, the First Emperor turned to look at Ziying, and couldn't help but feel surprised.
He smiled and said, "Yes, now I still need to trouble Ziying."
Ziying was thinking about the cause of Wang Wan's death in the palace. He also felt strange. He and Wang Wan had met at noon yesterday, and they died just overnight? If he was silenced because he opposed the emperor's brother's construction of the palace, maybe
sex
Not big, after all, Wang Wan can be regarded as a loyal minister of the Qin State. Suspicions were thick and clouds were thick. Before Ziying could figure it out, the First Emperor suddenly proposed that Ziying should go there. Ziying had no choice but to line up, cupped his hands and said: "Brother, I would like to
Past."
The First Emperor laughed heartily and ordered loudly: "I have appointed Feng Jie, the imperial censor, as deputy envoy. He will set off tomorrow and rush to Dongjun."
"Your Majesty, take the order." The two of them knelt on the ground and bowed their heads to receive the order. At this time, Zhao Gao gave Hu Hai a wink. Hu Hai understood and went out to play: "Father, I believe that the court cannot be in a single day."
Since there is no prime minister, I suggest that Tingwei Li Si take over as prime minister."
The hall was boiling again, and everyone was discussing heatedly. Fusu wanted to come out to object, but he was afraid of being caught. // He said he was suppressing dissidents, but he had no objection. If Li Si entered the phase, the consequences would be disastrous. He was hesitating, Fusu
Su's
His eyes suddenly fell on Feng Quji, and with a sudden plan, Fusu came out and said: "Father, the position of the prime minister is very important. He is the head of all officials. My son and ministers suggested that the prime minister can be divided into the left and right.
As prime minister, Feng Quji and Li Si will be in charge."
This suggestion was good. The First Emperor laughed and said, "I agree."
Feng Quji and Li Si hurriedly came out of the queue and bowed their hands: "I will do my best to serve you."
The First Emperor nodded and said: "There is one more thing. I have decided to expand the palace. I have made up my mind on this matter. You don't need to discuss it anymore."
As soon as the First Emperor finished speaking, Fusu couldn't wait to walk out, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Father, you should think twice about this matter!"
