Suddenly hearing the elixir of life, the first emperor, who was already seriously ill, sat up as if he had woken up from a dream.
"Long... elixir of eternity... elixir of eternity?"
Seeing this, Li You quickly said: "Your Majesty, the old Juxian Hall claimed to have obtained the elixir of longevity."
"Elixir of Life, where are you now?"
The First Emperor looked happy and quickly asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the people from Juxian Hall were escorting the elixir of life to the palace, but they were intercepted and killed by unknown troops on the way."
"The situation is critical now!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes turned red, "Go quickly and get my longevity medicine back!"
Zhang Han on the side saw this and strode forward, "Your Majesty, I will personally take people to get the medicine!"
"Go quickly!"
"promise!"
Zhang Han accepted the promise, turned around and hurried out of the palace.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the palace.
It wasn't until this moment that a smile appeared on Zhao Gao's face.
"You...why are you laughing?"
The First Emperor asked, Zhao Gao shook his head and said nothing, but his smile became more obvious and unscrupulous.
"Your Majesty, you haven't finished speaking your will yet."
Zhao Gao suddenly spoke up as a reminder.
The First Emperor hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "I have decided to make the young master...the young master Fusu the crown prince!"
This sentence seemed to use up all his strength.
After saying this, the First Emperor slumped down on the couch again.
At this moment, Zhao Gao raised his head and held out his chest, looking as humble as before.
He glanced at everyone in the palace.
Then suddenly he burst into tears.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is dead!"
boom!!
Zhao Gao's words were like thunder, exploding in the ears of the First Emperor.
"You...you!"
The First Emperor stared at Zhao Gao with disbelief in his eyes.
Zhao Gao came to the bed, possessed himself and whispered in the ear of the First Emperor:
"Your Majesty, there is no elixir in this world. The news is false."
After finishing speaking, he stood up and came to Li Si's side.
"puff!"
On the couch, the First Emperor spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then died.
"Your Majesty is dead!"
Zhao Gao shouted again, and at this moment all the chamberlains and maids in the palace knelt on the ground.
He began to cry loudly, and the loud cries suddenly came from the palace.
Li Si on the side looked at the will he had just finished in a daze.
Zhao Gao came to the opposite side of Li Si, picked up the will, took a look at it, and then shook his head.
When I saw the word Fusu in it, I felt extremely dazzling!
From this moment on, Zhao Gao no longer needs to hide anything!
Thinking of the way Fusu disliked him, and the time when the Meng family almost put him to death...
Zhao Gao's eyes flashed and twisted, and he screamed: "Here comes someone!"
Wow!
A group of armored soldiers suddenly entered the palace, and Zhao Gao nodded to the general who came in.
Then he pointed to the attendants and maids in the palace.
"Pull them all down!"
This captain is Zhao Gao's confidant, Zhao Gao believes that he can understand what he means!
"Ouch...Master! Master Zhao! No!"
"Ah!! Master Zhao, woo!"
"Sir, please spare my life!!"
"..."
All of a sudden, the entire palace was screaming and crying.
These chamberlains and maids often accompany the palace, so why don't they understand what Zhao Gao wants to do?
But the soldiers didn't say a word, their swords were unsheathed and placed on everyone's necks.
It didn't take long, as the cries faded away, screams rang out one after another, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, there are only three people in the entire palace: Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai.
Of course, there is also the First Emperor Ying Zheng who does not know whether he is alive or dead.
Zhao Gao picked up the decree again and frowned:
"Why is it that in your Majesty's decree, there is no clear choice of which young master should be appointed as the heir apparent?"
After a pause, Zhao Gao seemed to be studying the decree word for word, and then said again:
"Your Majesty doesn't like Young Master Fusu. It's known to everyone in the civil and military circles of the court, and he drove Young Master Fusu out of Xianyang before the Eastern Tour... In my opinion, Your Majesty has no intention of making Young Master Fusu the heir apparent!"
After saying that, Zhao Gao looked at Li Si meaningfully and said quietly:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister...don't you think so?"
Li Si lowered his eyebrows in thought and did not answer immediately.
At this moment, his heart was not as calm as he showed.
Seeing that Li Si was reluctant to speak, Zhao Gao's mind changed quickly, and he continued half-reminding, half-threatening:
"Prime Minister, think about it! If Young Master Fusu succeeds to the throne, what will you and the Li family face? What will be the end?"
"But if the young master Hu Hai succeeds to the throne, it will be different. Then your Li family will definitely retire with the country!"
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he winked crazily at Hu Hai who was stunned at the side!
Hu Hai was so excited that he stepped forward and said to Li Sid:
"Prime Minister! I swear! If I can ascend to the throne, not only will I reuse Mr. Li, but Mr. Li's family will also be reused by me!"
In fact, if it were normal, Li Siwan would not be so distracted!
Because of Ying Zheng's sudden death, Li Si was upset and couldn't think about anything for a while.
After a combination of punches from Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, Li Si finally fell.
"in this way..."
"There is indeed something wrong with this decree!"
Seeing Li Si agree, Zhao Gao suddenly showed joy.
Now that the First Emperor has passed away, the shadow that has always shrouded his heart is no longer there.
So at this moment, all the attention is focused on how to let Hu Hai succeed to the throne and tamper with the First Emperor's decree.
If Prince Hu Hai succeeds in succeeding to the throne, he will become the most powerful person in the entire Qin Dynasty.
Zhao Gao was overjoyed and hurriedly raised the fire and said:
"Master Li! Letting Fu Su ascend the throne is really not good for you and me! But it will be different if it is Young Master Hu Hai. By then, the entire Qin Dynasty will definitely look up to the Prime Minister!"
Hu Hai nodded repeatedly and looked at Li Si sincerely!
For Li Si, he knew what would happen if Fusu became emperor.
He has different ideas from Fusu. The best result is to retire and return home, and never to interfere with the affairs of the court again!
But this is not what Li Si wants.
At this moment, he had already made a decision in his heart, that is, he would do his best to help Hu Hai ascend the throne as emperor!
Determined, under the excited gazes of Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, Li Si slowly picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and touched on the will.
"Master Fusu is too pedantic and contradicts the national policy of the Qin Dynasty... Order Fusu to guard Mobei forever. Without the king's edict, he cannot go south!"
"Young Master Hu Hai is a smart man, very much like a humble man... I appoint Young Master Hu Hai as the crown prince, and I hope that all the ministers and nine ministers will give their full support..."
Li Si stopped writing, and Zhao Gao grabbed the still-undry edict!
"Okay, okay!!"
At this time, his face was filled with red light, and his eyes were wandering over the decree, as if he was looking at some peerless treasure!
Dune Palace: North Gate!
At this moment, Ying Yu, who was dressed in black armor, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, sat down on Red Rabbit, and was coming quickly.
The Qin soldiers who were responsible for guarding the camp gate immediately showed a vigilant look when they saw this.
"Who is coming? Get off your horse quickly!"
Ying Yu snorted coldly, "I am, Young Master Ying Yu, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
