Chapter 16
"Prime Minister, this matter..."

After Zhao Gao closed the door of the imperial study, he hesitated.

Seeing this, Li Si was quite anxious: "Master Zhao, you should speak quickly!"

He didn't know, what did Ying Zheng say before that?
Zhao Gao paced back and forth a few steps, picked up the Chuan Guo Jade Seal placed on the dragon's case, and said, "Your Majesty, I want to pass the throne and my son Fu Su!"

Li Si was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Young Master Fusu is kind, generous, well-known, and the eldest son. His Majesty's inheritance is naturally the best!"

After Li Si finished speaking, he found that Zhao Gao was looking at him sadly.

He said: "Master Zhao, Your Majesty has something else to say."

Zhao Gao took a deep look at Li Si: "Your Majesty also said that Meng Tian and Meng Yi have both political integrity and talent, and they are rare talents. After the new emperor Fusu ascended the throne, he suggested that Meng Tian be the captain to lead the world's troops and Meng Yi as the prime minister. Ranked first among the hundred officials, in charge of internal affairs!"

"This..." Li Si's heart skipped a beat.

If His Majesty really arranged it like this, where would it be for you?
However, Li Si took a deep breath and said, "The Montessori brothers do have great talents, and the Montessori family has been loyal to Daqin for several generations. Your Majesty suggested that I, as ministers, will obey his will!"

"Follow his orders..."

Zhao Gao grabbed the jade seal and said in a low voice, "Lord Prime Minister, help Su ascend to the throne, and the Montessori brothers will be reused. I'm afraid that you and I will both die by then!"

"Master Zhao, what you said..."

Li Si's face was very ugly.

Zhao Gao said: "Master Prime Minister, Fusu and the Montessori brothers are both biased towards Confucianism, and their strategy for governing the country is fundamentally different from yours and me. At that time, how can they tolerate you, Prime Minister, I have grudges with the Montessori brothers, and they also I can't stand it!"

"Then... what's the point of Master Zhao?"

Li Si was silent for a while before speaking.

Zhao Gao grabbed the jade seal and a blank edict and sent them to Li Si, saying, "Lord Prime Minister, who is going to be the successor now, isn't it up to you to decide?"

Li Si was suddenly startled, and hurriedly took a step back, looked around, lowered his voice and said with sincerity and fear:

"Master Zhao, you asked me to tamper with the edict, this is a big sin, and it is a big crime to kill the nine clans!"

"Furthermore, Your Majesty treats me well. I came to Daqin from Chu State alone. If it wasn't for Your Majesty's attention, I would definitely be wiped out among all living beings. How could I tamper with the edict and do such a wicked and unethical thing?"

When Zhao Gao heard the words, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Master Prime Minister, only you and I know this matter, and it is a good opportunity bestowed by God. The brothers have been slaughtered, and if you miss this village, there will be no more shop here!"

"Also, if people don't kill the world for their own sake, shouldn't the Prime Minister think about it for himself and the Li family?"

Liz was silent...

Zhao Gao continued to add fuel to the fire and said: "Master Prime Minister, the son Fusu is close to the Montessori brothers, and his superior Montessori brother Yulong ascended to the sky. If we support the son Hu Hai, it will naturally be another ending. Hu Hai is yours. students, and…”

Under the lobbying of Zhao Gao's three-inch tongue, Li Si finally nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao patted Li Si on the shoulder with a smile on his face: "Master Prime Minister, that's right!"

Then, Zhao Gao changed his words and said: "Prime Minister, although Young Master Hu Hai has succeeded to the throne, Fusu, Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Yi can't stay! If you keep them, it will definitely be a big disaster! Fusu's reputation is very high, coupled with Meng Tian, Meng Yi, two capable ministers, one in literature and one in military affairs, will help us, if we rebel, I am afraid that Emperor Hu Hai's position will not be stable, and we will suffer too!"

"Master Zhao means..." Li Si looked at Zhao Gao.

"Let's send another edict, send confidants to Shangjun, and ask Fusu and Meng Tian to judge by themselves! I think Fusu is always filial, and will definitely obey!" Zhao Gao said sympathetically.

When Li Si learned of this, a cold sweat broke down his back.

This Zhao Gao is really ruthless enough!

Seeing Li Si's hesitation, Zhao Gao said in a low voice, "Could it be that the Prime Minister will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future? If Fusu and Meng Tian are not dead, it means that there is a sword hanging over our heads at all times, and they may kill you and me at any time! "

Li Si finally nodded with difficulty: "Everything is obeyed by Master Zhao!"

Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, it's not too late for the Prime Minister, let's make an edict!"

The two began to tamper with the edict in the imperial study.

After drafting the edict, Zhao Gao immediately ordered his confidants to rush to Shangjun, and gave death to Fusu and Meng Tian.

Zhao Gao himself, together with Prime Minister Li Si, went to the Qilin Hall with another edict and summoned a group of ministers to come.

When the ministers arrived at the Qilin Hall, they were all curious.

"I don't know that the Prime Minister and the Lord Zhao summoned me to enter the palace late at night. What is the so-called?" A courtier asked.

Zhao Gao said with a face of "sorrow": "Your Majesty, Long Yu has returned to heaven!"

what? !

When the ministers heard the words, they were all shocked.

Then there was a burst of crying in the unicorn hall, wailing endlessly!
"Your Majesty..."

Zhao Gao glanced at the ministers and said solemnly: "Okay, everyone, be quiet!"

All the ministers stopped crying and looked at the order of the CRRC government.

Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty Long Yu has returned to heaven, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. Next, please read your majesty's last edict and announce the successor of the Great Qin Emperor!"

He handed the edict to the prime minister.

Li Si held the edict, and his body trembled slightly. He was quite nervous. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He unfolded the edict and read:
"In the 29th year of Qin Shihuang, on X month X day, I was murdered by the villain Tiandao landlord, took the poison pill, and my life will end, even if I don't want to give up Da Qin, I will eventually leave.

Young Master Fusu was bewitched by treacherous and treacherous, deeply into Confucianism, and his political views were at odds with me. If Daqin was handed over to him, Daqin would collapse!

Young Master Hu Hai, with a pure and good nature, humble and eager to learn, won my heart... I handed over the Great Qin to Hu Hai, and I went to Jiuquan to rest my eyes, and hope that all the ministers will assist him with all their heart..."

When Li Si finished his last edict, there was an uproar in the Qilin Hall.

"Why is it Young Master Hu Hai? Hasn't Your Majesty always been interested in Young Master Fusu?"

"Master Prime Minister, Master Zhao, this..."

Zhao Gao said with a gloomy face: "Bold, shut up! Your Majesty has just left, will you disobey your order?"

"I can't wait..."

"Don't dare..."

The ministers said with sincerity and fear.

Disobeying the last order of the emperor was a big crime to annihilate the nine clans.

They dare not wear this hat.

Zhao Gao looked around at everyone and said coldly: "My lords, as ministers of the Great Qin, we naturally have to obey the last emperor's order, assist the new emperor wholeheartedly, and contribute our own strength to the Qin! If you are disobedient and disobey the order, what will happen to you? I know!"

"I will obey the last emperor's order!"

All the ministers said.

"Zhao Gao, did you make a mistake?"

Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded.

There was too much noise in the Qilin Hall, and Zhao Gao couldn't hear who said it, but felt that the voice was a little familiar.

Zhao Gao frowned and said coldly, "Who dares to be presumptuous? Stand up for me!"

I saw that walking into a majestic and mighty man from outside the Qilin Hall was Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu.

Zhao Gao stared at the other party: "Marquis Tongwu, what do you mean?"

Wang Ben did not speak.

Another person stepped into the Qilin Hall.

Wearing an emperor's crown and imperial robes, he is extremely majestic, and it is Qin Shihuang's Yingzheng.

He said: "I just said what I said!"
