A pigeon drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight into the military camp in Shangjun. When it stopped at the edge of the cage, a hand had already caught its body and pulled it from its leg.

He took out a bamboo tube and gently placed it in the cage. The pigeons flapped their wings and walked to the small trough where the grains were placed and began to eat.

The bamboo tube soon reached Meng Tian's hands, but he did not open it to look at it, but took it straight to Fusu's residence.

Because they had announced to the public that Fusu had committed suicide, his original residence had been vacated, and he was now living secretly in Mengtian's hotel, accompanied by only ten guards who he absolutely trusted except Xiao Tao.

.

These days, it can be said that Fusu has been living like a year. He cannot go out, and at the same time, he cannot be seen in Mengtian's residence, so he can only stay in the room and chat with Xiaotao. Although the situation outside he

Although he understood her clearly, he still felt uncomfortable not being able to see people. If there was any gain, it was that the relationship between him and Xiao Tao became closer during these days. At this time, he and Xiao Tao were playing pot throwing, and for

For a former warrior, this kind of literati trick was not a problem for him at all, but in order for Xiao Tao not to lose too ugly, he could only miss twice occasionally, giving Xiao Tao a chance to catch up. Fusu thought about this

The prince can be regarded as ancient. Others are followers who give way to their masters, but it is better for him to be the master who gives way to his maid.

Just when they were having fun, Meng Tian walked in: "Prince, there is news from Xianyang."

Fusu quickly stopped the arrow he was about to throw, took the bamboo tube from Meng Tian's hand, then took out his long sword and struck it with the sword spine. The bamboo tube cracked, and he took out a piece of cloth. He looked at it again.

Then he handed the silk book to Meng Tian: "Finally we got the accurate news that the emperor passed away. Hu Hai got the help of Zhao Gaozhi and ascended the throne. Now there are orders issued from Xianyang Palace, which are more powerful than the emperor."

It would have been several times stricter back then.”

Meng Tian looked at the silk book and his face darkened.

It turned out that after Hu Hai learned that Fusu had committed suicide, he accelerated his return to Xianyang. However, after being delayed for many days, and coupled with the hot weather, Qin Shihuang's body actually began to rot. At this time, there was no ice to preserve the body.

And if people knew that Qin Shihuang died outside, it would most likely cause chaos in Xianyang city. In addition, Hu Hai was also afraid of being gossiped about, so he had to follow Zhao Gao's advice and put Xianyu and Qin Shihuang's body together, pushing

Said it was the smell of salted fish. He rushed all the way and finally got back to Xianyang. After thinking that he had no worries, Hu Hai couldn't wait to announce the death of Qin Shihuang, and then sat on the emperor's throne in a grand manner, even waiting for Meng Tian

I couldn’t wait to hear the news of his death.

The ministers in the court who originally supported Zhao Gao and Hu Hai were naturally overjoyed, but the faction that originally supported Fusu had no choice but to admit the fact because they learned that Fusu was dead. As for whether they could reconcile with Zhao Gao

The taller Li Si seemed to have been hit by Fusu's death and gave up his opposition, allowing Hu Hai to smoothly secure his position as emperor.

After so smoothly securing his position, Hu Hai got carried away and exposed his true colors. He plundered money from wealthy families in Xianyang. Many wealthy people from the Six Kingdoms were forcibly moved to Xianyang by Qin and became businessmen with no foundation.

He became the target of Hu Hai's exploitation, and often dozens of people had their property confiscated in a day for various crimes, and the wealth went into the private pockets of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao. After that, he ordered people to quickly take away their property.

The Lishan Mausoleum was repaired so that Qin Shihuang could "move in" quickly and took the opportunity to arrest hard laborers everywhere. The people of the world suddenly fell into hell. In the end, his butcher knife reached out to those who originally opposed him.

The ministers who succeeded to the throne and supported Fusu. Hu Hai's actions immediately caused complaints from both the government and the public. It seemed that he was not an emperor at all, but a saboteur. He even ordered those who were dissatisfied with him to be punished once verified.

Kill all the people.

At this time, Zhao Gao was helping Hu Hai, while working hard to fill the vacancies of the officials who were killed one by one with his cronies. His strength has expanded rapidly, and maybe it won't be long before he becomes a

Become the real talker in the Qin world.

As for Prime Minister Li Si, since he returned to Xianyang and Hu Hai ascended the throne, he claimed that he was ill and had been staying at home, giving people an attitude that he had completely resigned himself to it. But Li Si knew very well that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao would not let him go, so he also

I was at home thinking about countermeasures day and night, until someone came in late at night.

Looking at all the things Hu Hai had done, Fusu knew that his chances of success were even greater. Then he thought of Li Si in Xianyang City, although in his memory Li Si also appeared on the historical stage as a treacherous minister.

, but Fusu still planned to save his life, so he ordered someone to send a letter to Wu Lin and others in Xianyang, asking them to send a message to Li Si, letting him know that he was still alive, and asking him to secretly send his family to Shangjun.

On the third day after the dove flew out, another imperial edict also came to Shangjun.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: General Meng Tian was favored by the emperor in his lifetime, but he did not want to serve the country. He was around the prince without knowing how to admonish him. This was disloyal. Considering that he had made minor contributions to the court, he was not qualified to be a general.

, to commit suicide in order to keep the whole body. I admire this!" The eunuch who announced the decree shook his head and finished reading the imperial edict, and said proudly: "General Meng, ah no, Meng Tian accepted the decree and thanked you." After saying this, he laughed proudly again.

When he thought about it, even Fusu committed suicide after receiving the imperial edict, so Meng Tian would not be able to resist the edict at all, so he seemed very arrogant.

Suddenly a person next to him asked: "Did this imperial edict come from the First Emperor or the Second Emperor?"

"Of course today's second..." The eunuch was about to say it, but he was clever and only said one word before he stopped it, and said angrily, "Who are you to dare to interfere in such state affairs?

"

Fusu slowly took off the wide hat on his head: "Who do you think I am?"

"Fu...Prince Fusu!" The eunuch looked at Fusu's face in shock, with a look of disbelief.

"You think this prince is dead, right?" Fusu strode up to him, grabbed his collar with one hand, and pulled him to his side, "Tell me, are those two imperial edicts from Hu Hai and Zhao Gaoxia?"

of?"

The eunuch was completely overwhelmed by Fusu's momentum and said tremblingly: "This imperial edict was indeed issued by the Second Emperor, but that...the previous one was issued by the First Emperor."

"Really? I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, and you still refuse to tell the truth until now." Fusu took out the long sword and put it on his neck. The eunuch's attendants were there.

When he saw Fusu appear, he wanted to come up to protect him, but he was surrounded by Meng Tian and Fusu's cronies who had already ambushed outside the door.

"The villain is indeed not lying. This imperial edict was issued on the way back to Xianyang, but the emperor only..."

After listening to his words, Fusu believed him. Indeed, it was impossible for him to know the plans of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao. He pushed him out and said: "Keep these people under guard and don't let them go."

Already."

The sergeants rushed up and took them down.

"General Meng should believe my words now." Fusu looked at Meng Tian with a smile.

"It seems that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao really want to usurp the throne and get rid of us all." Meng Tian couldn't help but sigh, "But now that they are in Xianyang, it would be morally unjustifiable for us to raise troops. We are rebelling.

Besides, the world has only been peaceful for a few years now, and I don’t want to start another dispute and make the people suffer.”

Fusu walked to the table, poured two bowls of wine, handed one to Meng Tian and said, "General, do you think that if we can't afford to raise troops, others will not? Don't forget the news we have seen. Hu Hai is going against the grain and will definitely be punished."

The people of the Six Kingdoms who were originally dissatisfied with the unification of our Great Qin were forced to rebel. Only then would our Great Qin really reach a critical moment. Only if we capture Xianyang City as quickly as possible and remove Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and other people who have caused trouble can we possibly pacify them.

of resentment, and then we can give the people a chance to recuperate and finally let everyone in the world live a good life."

When Meng Ting heard Fusu's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He thought that Fusu would not have such thoughts for the people. But then his eyes dimmed and he wanted to say something, but Li Heng's voice sounded first.

"The prince's idea is certainly good, but now we are fighting against the world with one territory. We have suffered a big loss in terms of military strength. Moreover, we have to leave some people to guard the northern border to prevent the Huns from taking advantage of the situation." Li Heng said as he spoke.

Zhang Wu, Zhou Xing and Zheng De walked in. It turned out that Li Heng and others were outside when the eunuch came to announce the decree, and all four of them heard their conversation clearly.

The three generals also looked directly at Fusu. After learning that Qin Shihuang had passed away, half of the burden in their hearts had been dropped, but they were still afraid that if their army failed, their family would be slaughtered.

Fusu smiled and said: "This matter of using troops cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. But I can be sure that as long as I, Fusu, raise the flag, there will always be many people joining our camp. In addition,

Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and his like have brought chaos to the government, and the combat effectiveness of our Daqin army will naturally be greatly reduced. Some passes may even surrender without a fight. But there must be dangers, but do you think we can do it here?

Is it definitely safe? Will Zhao Gao rest assured that you generals who have been following General Meng and me? The only problem now is the Huns."

As if God was also helping Fusu, when he mentioned the Huns, a soldier of Meng Tian came to the outside of the hall and said: "General, the spies I sent to the Huns have sent a message via flying pigeons." (Unfinished)
