The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that God is also grieving for the passing of this generation of emperors, but now there is a bigger question before everyone: who will rule the huge country of Qin

.

In the side hall of the Sand Dune Palace, three people were looking at each other in silence: Li Si, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.

"I have ordered all those imperial doctors to be executed." Zhao Gao said coldly.

"Why? Just because they couldn't save the emperor, they should be buried?" Li Si asked.

Zhao Gao looked at Li Sid and said, "Of course there are other reasons besides this. Can't the Prime Minister guess it?"

Li Si glanced at Hu Hai and said, "Do you want to hide the emperor's funeral?"

"Yes, it seems that the Prime Minister is not an old fool." Zhao Gao said with a smile, "You should know what our ultimate goal is."

"But the emperor has already made a will to support Prince Su as our second emperor of the Qin Dynasty."

"Who else has heard this except the three of us? Prime Minister, you should understand the situation in the Sand Dune Palace very well. You have only two choices now. One is to cooperate with us and make Prince Hu Hai the emperor, and the other is to Prime Minister

Li Si committed suicide because of his loyalty to the emperor. In the former case, you can still be your prime minister, and your Li family is still prosperous and prosperous. As for your martyrdom, haha..." Zhao Gao's words ended in a string of words

It ended with a sneer, but Li Si felt the taste very clearly.

Li Si looked at Hu Hai, who was silent next to him, and then turned to look outside the hall. Outside the hall were dozens of Zhao Gao's men holding sharp blades. Obviously, as long as he shook his head, countless guards would rush in.

He came in and cut himself into pieces with a knife.

After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes and said feebly: "Okay, the emperor's posthumous photo is passed down to the second prince Hu Hai!" After saying this, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the palace door.

When his hand just touched the door of the main hall, Hu Hai, who had been silent until now, spoke: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, it is best not to meet alone with others before returning to Xianyang, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

When Li Si heard this, his steps suddenly stopped, but then he opened the door of the palace and walked towards his lower place without looking back.

After Li Si left, Hu Hai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We finally got this old fox to our side. I'm really afraid that he will resist at all costs, and then our plan will have to be redeployed."

Zhao Gao laughed and said: "Prince, no, you should be called the emperor now. You don't know Li Si well enough. He is not a real celebrity. He still cannot regard honor and integrity as more important than life and interests, so I

I am 100% sure that I can convince him."

"Now that Li Si has been convinced, can our next plan be implemented?" Hu Hai said eagerly.

Zhao Gaodao: "Now is not the time to rush back to Xianyang and proclaim himself emperor. The emperor must not forget that the great scourge of Fusu is still in Shangjun, and he has General Meng Tianmeng with heavy troops beside him."

Hu Hai said nonchalantly: "As long as I proclaim myself emperor in Xianyang, Fusu will become my minister. How dare he rebel?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If he is determined to go against you, the emperor, I'm afraid many people will turn to Fusu's side. At that time, it will take a lot of effort to deal with him."

"Then what can you do to deal with Fusu?" Hu Hai looked a little confused after hearing Zhao Gao's words.

Zhao Gao showed a proud smile on his face: "This is why I want to kill those imperial doctors to prevent the news of the emperor's death from spreading. We can keep the funeral secret, rush back to Xianyang with the team, and then use the Daxing Emperor as the emperor

In the name of Fusu, an imperial edict was sent to Fusu, saying that he was ineffective at guarding the border, could not do things well, was disloyal to the court, and was unfilial to the emperor, and asked him to commit suicide as a thank you to the world. With Fusu's character, he would definitely commit suicide after receiving this edict.

Then we can use the excuse that Meng Tian is unfavorable in guarding the prince and ask him to commit suicide, and then we can eliminate these two scourges without bloodshed."

"Wonderful." Hu Hai couldn't help but smile with joy when he heard this plan, "Indeed, from what I know, Fusu will definitely commit suicide after accepting the imperial edict. By then, the soldiers and horses in the north will not be able to cause any chaos without anyone to lead them.

Okay, I will do as you say immediately and issue an imperial edict to Fusu as soon as possible."

Zhao Gao took out an imperial edict from his arms and said, "I'm ready, I'm going to order someone to send the imperial edict to Shangjun quickly." After saying that, he walked out of the main hall.

Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao who had gone out, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Outside Shangjun City, a man and a horse were running toward Shangjun. It was obvious that he had come from a long distance, and the horse was dripping with sweat, and the man on the horse looked even more exhausted. Sitting on the horse seemed like he would fall off at any time. But he

The horse's speed did not slow down at all.

After leaving the Sand Dune Palace, he felt that someone was watching him. It was also because of this keen sense that he escaped from interceptions again and again, but the opponent was obviously well-manned, and he had killed more than ten people along the way.

A man wanted to kill him, but someone still caught up with him from behind.

Mo Cong felt that he was about to use up the last bit of strength in his body. He was also the most skilled in martial arts and equestrian skills among the guards around Yingzheng, but he was already exhausted. Seeing Shangjuncheng in sight, he felt a sense of

I had an ominous premonition that I might not be able to enter the city.

Sure enough, when he vaguely saw the two seal characters of Shangjun, the sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air came from behind. He turned around suddenly and blocked the arrows that were shot at him with the knife in his hand, but he

The horse he stepped off, the horse that had followed him for three years and had saved him several times these days, let out a mournful cry and then fell down. Mo Cong was also thrown off the horse heavily by the inertia.

He fell out and fell to the ground. He felt like the world was spinning for a while, and he lost all the strength to get up. Then he saw a man wearing black leather armor appearing in front of him, and the knife in the man's hand flashed under the sunlight.

There was a dazzling light from the knife, and then the knife fell on his body, and Mo Cong didn't know anything.

The man put the knife back into the scabbard, walked to Mo Cong's body, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and tried to tear him to pieces with both hands, but the situation was the same as what Mo Cong had just encountered.

A crossbow arrow also hit the back of his neck. But there was still a difference between the two sides. Mo Cong was on guard, so the crossbow arrow did not kill him, but this man was not on guard when he heard the crossbow arrow coming.

He only had time to turn around when there was a sound of breaking through the air. The arrow just turned into his Adam's apple and penetrated from behind, and his hand had just grasped the knife used to kill.

quiet!

After almost a meal, a man appeared in front of the fallen man, took the cloth from his hand that he had not had time to destroy, and then ran towards Shangjun City.

While Fusu was reading the contents of the silk book, he listened to the visitor telling him how the silk letter had changed hands. After listening to his words, Fusu stood up and saluted him and said, "If it weren't for a strong man to help me,

, Fusu can no longer see this book. Here Fusu has thanked the heroes for himself and for the Qin Dynasty."

The man hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "I am just protecting this silk book on the order of my prime minister. What I am ashamed of is that I have never dared to show up to help the person who sent the book."

"Prime Minister Fu Su must bear in mind his great righteousness." Fusu said to his left and right, "Go and bring the body of the strong man outside the city into the city. Fusu will give him a good burial."

The man glanced at Fusu with praise: "Prince Fusu, I don't know what's going on in the sand dunes now. I'm worried that the Prime Minister will rush back, so I'll stay here soon."

Fusu nodded and said, "I know you are a loyal man, so I won't keep you here. Come, please prepare three hundred coins for the brave man."

The man thanked him for the reward and hurried back.

"Prince, do you think what is said in this book is credible?" Li Heng asked after reading the letter.

Fusu tried hard to recall the last actions of Qin Shihuang in his memory, but unfortunately he couldn't remember it, so he had to give up. It seemed that he had to make his own judgment. He thought for a while and said: "From the words of the stranger, this silk book should be

It is indeed the emperor’s edict.”

"I think so too." Li Heng said, fanning himself, "But even if it's true, do you think it's time to return to Xianyang, Prince?"

Fusu shook his head and said: "That shouldn't be the case. Now my foundation in the court is shallow. Although I have the help of Prime Minister Li Sixiang, it is not as good as the years of arrangements made by Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. If I leave, I may not be able to protect myself, let alone fight for the throne."

.And if the emperor is outside..., then there will be no guarantee for me to return to Xianyang." Fusu was very sure that Qin Shihuang died in the sand dunes, so entering Xianyang now is completely a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Even if I beat him to death, I won't go. But I can't say this directly, I can only make assumptions.

"The prince is right. Your foundation is in Shangjun. You can't leave here easily and go to Xianyang. But judging from Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's feedback, they don't want you to enter Xianyang. Why is that?" Meng Tian also asked on the side.

road.

"Perhaps they think too highly of me as a supporter of Fusu. If there is an emperor's posthumous photo that makes me emperor, I can defeat them in Xianyang, but I am afraid that Zhao Gao will interfere with it."

"The prince's worries are not unreasonable. In my opinion, we should wait a little longer. If the emperor returns to Xianyang safely, it will not be too late for us to go." Li Heng came up with an idea.

"It seems that we can only wait and see what happens." Fusu shook his head and said, "I have been waiting for several years."

"Only with sufficient patience can you deal a fatal blow to the enemy." Li Heng consoled him.
