Meng Yuan opened the edict and frowned when he looked at it.
Tianxing Taoist asked: "What did His Majesty say in his edict?"
Meng Yuan did not hide it, but handed him the imperial edict and said: "Your Majesty wants Ying Mu to ascend the throne and appoint Zhang Beichen as regent!"
After reading the edict, Taoist Tianxing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What do you think, Grand Master?"
Meng Yuan said in a low voice: "Ying Mu has a tolerant personality, and it is not unreasonable for him to ascend the throne."
Tianxing Taoist said in a cold voice: "Ying Mu is very dissatisfied with Pindao. If he ascends the throne, Pindao's position as national preceptor may not be guaranteed!"
He then said: "Master, Your Majesty asked Zhang Beichen to be the regent. Zhang Beichen and you are old rivals, right? He is Ying Mu's biological father, and Ying Mu obeys his words. If he becomes the regent, you
His fate will definitely be worse than that of Pindao!"
"What does the Imperial Master mean?" Meng Yuan had actually guessed what Tianxing Taoist was thinking.
"Compile the imperial edict!" Tianxing Taoist said, "Your Majesty's youngest son Ying Wu is naughty in nature and stupid in mind. He can be easily controlled. If Ying Wu ascends the throne, the world will be yours and mine!"
Meng Yuan did not agree directly, but asked: "The Grand Master is from outside the country, why are you so keen on power?"
Tianxing Taoist smiled and said: "The Qin Dynasty unites the world, and the national fortune is prosperous, which is conducive to Pindao's practice. Grand Master, don't worry, Pindao has no other plans!"
Meng Yuan knew that Taoist Tianxing must have other plans. But this had nothing to do with him. In the current situation, if he wanted to control power, he must cooperate with Taoist Tianxing.
"I have been waiting for this day for how many years!" Ying Yin is already the fourth generation monarch who has been beaten to death by Meng Yuan!
"The Ying family can influence the world, and I, the Meng family, are indispensable. Since the Ying family can sit in this world, I, the Meng family, can't?" Meng Yuan's ambition began to expand.
He and Taoist Tianxing compiled the edict, and at the same time froze Ying Yin's body with black ice, blocked the news, and rushed back to Xianyang overnight.
…
At this moment, Zhang Beichen was fighting against the Xiongnu army in the northern grasslands.
On the grassland, the Xiongnu army was extremely fierce. They rode various mounts and drove the ferocious beasts that could eat people and drink blood.
The soldiers of the Qin army took weapons, formed a military formation, and fought with them.
[The Qin army was unable to defeat the Xiongnu army, and the Xiongnu army was unable to defeat the Qin army, and the war situation fell into a tense situation.]
[At this time, a wolf roar came from the grassland. I saw a huge wolf king with black flames all over his body leading thousands of wolf demons to rush towards. On the back of the wolf king, there was a majestic man riding on it. 】
"King of the Huns, the Great Chanyu Maotai!" Zhang Beichen recognized the person who came.
This is the Great Chanyu Maotai who unified more than a dozen tribes of the Huns in the north and annexed the Hu people's territory!
It is said that he was abandoned by his parents since he was a child and was raised by wolves. He is proficient in animal language, received the blessing of the beast god, and can drive ferocious beasts.
After he grew up, he conquered all directions and conquered many tribes in the grassland. All the Hun kings paid homage to him and called him the Great Chanyu!
[The Great Chan Yu Maotai and the Wolf King are both in the holy realm. They attacked the military formation and the Qin Army's military formation immediately collapsed. 】
"Well done!" Zhang Beichen was also eager to fight against the masters of the Holy Realm.
He led Ying Ge and other generals to kill him. The battle in the holy realm was so dark that the sky was dark and the earth cracked!
[You have fought dozens of rounds with the generals, Maotai and others, and both sides have their own winners and losers.]
Maotai was suspended in mid-air, and the shadow of the beast god appeared behind him. He shouted to Zhang Beichen: "Zhang Beichen, you are a powerful general. Why don't you join me, I will conquer Qin and let you be my commander."
The emperor of the Qin people!"
Zhang Beichen smiled and said: "Why don't you surrender? Your Majesty can make you king!"
"Hahahaha!" Maotai laughed loudly and said, "Emperor Qin? She is already dead!"
"If you insult Your Majesty, I will kill you!" Zhang Beichen said coldly.
"Zhang Beichen, I didn't lie to you!" Maotai pointed to the sky and said: "The purple stars are dim, there are strange phenomena in the south, blood rains from the sky, and emperors fall!"
"How many people in this world are still able to claim the title of emperor? Your emperor of Qin is dead! Now that Heaven has rejuvenated me, the Xiongnu, I advise you to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side as soon as possible!"
Zhang Beichen looked at the sky. Sure enough, the purple stars were dim and the sky in the south was blood red!
"No, this is impossible! Yin Ren!" Zhang Beichen looked horrified. Why did Yin Ren suddenly fall? Even if she did not break through to the Holy Realm, relying on the power of the Qin Dynasty, she could still live for at least several decades.
"It's the demon!" Zhang Beichen realized that his letter might not have been seen by Ying Yin!
"Kill!" Taking advantage of Zhang Beichen's mind being shaken, he took advantage of the shield and came over with a big knife to kill.
With one strike, he opened Zhang Beichen's spiritual field and split his armor and stomach in half. Zhang Beichen hurriedly retreated, thus avoiding serious injury.
[Ying Yin may have fallen, and you are mentally unstable. The Xiongnu Holy Realm masters took the opportunity to attack. You fought hard for three days and three nights, and were seriously injured. In the end, you burned your essence and blood and damaged your foundation, so you managed to retreat from the enemy. You are unconscious, Ying
Ge took over the defense.】
…
In Xianyang City, Meng Yuan and Taoist Tianxing returned to Xianyang with Emperor Qin's patrol convoy.
As soon as he entered the city, Meng Yuan blocked Xianyang according to Ying Yin's will!
Xianyang Palace.
Above the court hall, today is the day when Emperor Qin goes on tour to attend court. Hundreds of officials are displayed on both sides, including the crown prince Ying Mu and the young prince Ying Wu.
The sudden blockade of Xianyang has already made the officials feel bad. Some people who already knew about the big event stood in the court with ulterior motives.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" the eunuch shouted.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers bowed their heads and shouted, but they did not hear Ying Yin's words of "Ping Shen".
Prince Ying Mu looked up and saw that his mother was not there on the throne.
He asked Meng Yuan: "Master, won't my mother go to court today?"
Meng Yuan said in a deep voice: "Prince, don't be anxious. Today, I have something important to announce. All officials should be silent!"
In the court hall, all civil and military officials fell silent.
I saw a few Black Dragon Guards carrying an ice coffin up to the hall. The ministers were wondering, but when they saw the body in the ice coffin, they looked shocked.
Although the man was old, they could still recognize him at a glance. He was Ying Yin!
"Is this true, Your Majesty?"
"Mother!" Ying Mu ran to the ice coffin and shouted regardless of his manners.
The same was true for Ying Wu, but he didn't just see this ice coffin. He had already seen it the night before.
He still remembered the words Tianxing Taoist warned him: "If His Majesty appoints you as the heir, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied. Among them will be your brother, your sworn sister and your father. If you want to inherit the throne, no matter what happens, you must listen to Pindao
of!"
After an ideological struggle, Ying Wu finally could not resist the temptation of the throne and agreed.
"Is this really His Majesty?" Some ministers asked Meng Yuan.
Meng Yuan looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed your Majesty. His Majesty suddenly fell ill during his patrol. Bintian. I failed to protect your Majesty. I deserve death!"
When all the ministers heard this, they knelt down and cried bitterly.
Ying Mu burst into tears.
A minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty, whether it is your Majesty's funeral or a major state event, someone needs to preside over it. Please express your condolences and preside over state affairs!"
Ying Mu held back his grief and asked Meng Yuan: "Grand Master, does your mother have any legacy?"
Meng Yuan nodded and said to the ministers: "Before his death, His Majesty wrote an imperial edict. He asked the old ministers and the national advisor to supervise the matter!"
As he spoke, he took out a copy of the imperial edict. Upon seeing this, all the ministers bowed down one after another.
Meng Yuan said solemnly: "The veteran minister below will read out His Majesty's decree and listen to it!"
"The Emperor, who was entrusted by heaven, issued an edict: I am suddenly seriously ill, and I feel that my time is short...Zhang Beichen raised the bandits to respect themselves and deprived them of their official titles, so he should be killed. Ying Mu Nizi was so perverse and domineering that he took advantage of my absence to monopolize power.
Form a clique for personal gain. Depose the crown prince and be buried with me! Ying Wu, my son, is as heroic as me and won my heart. I am determined to pass on the throne to Ying Wu. All officials must help with all their heart. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy! Qin Emperor Ying
Yin Ren personally wrote it and announced it to the world, and the envoys will hear about it!"
[After Meng Yuan read out the false imperial edict, the officials were shocked and expressed doubts.]
"No, it is absolutely impossible for my mother to write such a testament!" No matter how filial Ying Mu was, he knew that he did not deserve such treatment.
Another minister pointed at Meng Yuan and cursed: "Old thief Meng Yuan, you edited His Majesty's edict to destroy the foundation of our Qin Dynasty!"
"Kill!" Meng Yuan glanced at him, and as soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared behind the minister, and his head fell to the ground at the same time.
Heifu put away his sword, and countless soldiers wearing armor and holding spears appeared around the hall.
"Old thief, it turns out you had a plan for a long time!" someone scolded.
Some ministers also shouted: "How can the Grand Master and the Imperial Master lie to others? We must obey His Majesty's last edict!"
[Meng Yuan and Taoist Tianxing worked hard for many years and used force and cronies to control the court. However, those who resisted and were dissatisfied were all executed! 】
[With the support of Meng Yuan and Taoist Tianxing, Ying Wu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Ying Mu was placed under house arrest in the East Palace. A few days later, Meng Yuan claimed that Ying Mu committed suicide out of fear of crime. 】
[The news of Emperor Qin Bintian spread throughout the country, causing shock in the world! Some county guards and generals guarding one side were dissatisfied with the arbitrary power of Meng Yuan and Taoist Tianxing, and claimed to raise troops to serve the king. The forces of the six countries began to recruit troops and prepare to launch unrest. ]
[Ying Wu came to the stage and announced the first decree. He recruited millions of civilians and soldiers from all over the world to build altars and worship Huang Tian. He also restored the long-abolished human sacrifice system, and asked the 700,000 civilians who built the imperial mausoleum to
Buried with Emperor Qin!]
[As soon as the government decree was issued, complaints arose. The conscripted laborers realized that they had no way out, so they revolted, and the whole country gathered to respond. For a time, uprisings occurred all over the country. 】
…
Zhang Beichen had woken up at this time, and his injuries had not healed.
News of Xianyang has spread to the border areas.
"Your Majesty will never write such a testament!" Ying Ge received an order from the trusted Qin Emperor to execute Zhang Beichen. He said angrily: "This must be Meng Yuan and Tianxing Taoist who compiled the testament."
Zhang Beichen was furious when he heard the news. He killed his wife and son, and now treats his youngest son as a puppet.
"I will kill these two people!" Zhang Beichen gritted his teeth and said.
[A Black Dragon Guard came to visit and brought the real edict that Ying Yin wrote before he died.]
"Prime Minister, they are rebelling!" Ying Ge said, "When we have His Majesty's decree, we can send a large army back to Xianyang to kill the rebels!"
Zhang Beichen calmed down and thought: "The Xiongnu are eyeing the Central Plains. If our army moves, the Xiongnu army will invade the Central Plains. By then, the Qin Dynasty may be destroyed! Our army cannot move!"
"Then what should we do? Are we going to watch these traitors take control of the government?" Ying Ge was extremely anxious.
"There is still a group of soldiers and horses that can be moved!" Zhang Beichen looked to the south.
…
In the south, in General Nanhaiwei's mansion.
Wei Bi also received the edict left by Ying Yin, but the content was very different from others.
It read: "After my death, Meng Yuan, Tianxing Taoist and others will definitely cause chaos. Ying Mu is kind and is not their opponent, so he may be killed. Ying Wu has a stubborn nature and is easily deceived. Once the situation of the government changes, there will only be you and you in the world."
My father can correct the chaos. Your father is stationed in the north to resist the Xiongnu. Bi'er, only you can save the Qin Dynasty!"
"Although your surname is Wei, I have already regarded you as my biological daughter. Bi'er, I have decided to pass the throne to you, and you will be the next Emperor of Qin!"
After Wei Bi read it, he was horrified.
"Mother, she has already done it! And she wants to pass the throne to me?" Wei Bi did not expect that Ying Yin was willing to pass the throne to her with a foreign name. Although she was Ying Yin's adopted daughter, she was not related by blood after all.
relation.
Wei Bi was deeply moved.
She sent an order: "Hurry up and invite the governors of Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun to come to your house. Tell them about my general's birthday party and invite them."
"yes."
[Wei Bi invited the governors of the three counties in the south, but the governors of the three counties did not know why. During the banquet, Wei Bi suddenly took out Ying Yin’s posthumous edict and read it out, and the three county guards were shocked.]
Wei Bi said sternly: "Meng Yuan, two traitors from Taoist Tianxing, killed Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, and now they are taking control of the government. These traitors must be eliminated! My general has decided to launch an army to fight against the thieves today. The three commanders have agreed.
how?"
Three county guards, you look at me and I look at you. Now they are all in the general's mansion. They are heavily guarded outside. How can they have the right to refuse?
So the three of them said one after another: "I am willing to follow the general to fight against the thieves!"
[Wei will raise 500,000 troops in the three southern counties and go north to fight against the thieves.]
…
At this time, due to the tyranny of "Ying Wu", the world was already in chaos.
The insurgent armies from various places were suppressed one after another. Fortunately, these insurgent armies were all stragglers. Even if there were a few large forces with hundreds of thousands of troops, they would not be a match for the Qin army.
The real trouble is the forces of the Six Nations. They have money and food, and are proficient in the art of war. After they raised their armies, they grew rapidly and proclaimed themselves kings one after another.
King Wei, King Qi, King Zhao, etc., all descendants of the six kingdoms appeared.
…
At the imperial mausoleum, hundreds of thousands of civilians are doing hard labor. They have sallow complexions and a dark look on their faces.
They knew that after pruning the imperial mausoleum, they would be buried. However, even so, they did not dare to stop because the whip of the supervisor would not stop!
"Seven hundred thousand laborers! With this power, we will have the capital to compete for the world!" On the top of the mountain, a woman wearing a bamboo hat and veil was looking down.
Beside her were several ministers and generals.
"Your Majesty, we have been patiently waiting for this day for decades! As long as we accept these hard labors, we, Korea, can make a comeback!"
"Your Majesty, we are ready. We only need to wait for your Majesty's order to break into the imperial mausoleum!"
"The hard laborers have been dissatisfied with the Qin State for a long time, and we have a supply of food and grass, so we will definitely be able to respond to everything!"
The woman nodded slightly and said, "Let's do it!"
"Yes!" Everyone started to act immediately.
The woman took off her veil, revealing a pure and flawless face. She was none other than the "dead" King of Han, Han Mengshu.
