Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 354 Zhao Gao wants to become emperor, Xin Sheng embraces Ziying

Zhao Gao wanted to be emperor, and when the battle in Guanzhong was tense.

After killing Hu Hai, all obstacles in the court have been basically cleared away. When Zhao Gao entered the Xianyang Palace, there were voices of praise everywhere.

It is more difficult than reaching the sky to hear a word of criticism.

Don’t say that you refer to a deer as a horse, but you refer to the moon as a star. I am afraid that everyone around will agree: "The stars are so big!"

When Zhao Gao had the power and power of the first emperor, his ambitions began to expand extremely.

Yingzheng became the first emperor of Qin, named Qin Shihuang, and he also wanted to be the first emperor of Zhao, named Zhao Shihuang.

At the celebration banquet for killing Hu Hai, Zhao Gao's mind became more and more active, and a group of followers all cheered and shouted long live.

Among them, Chongxin was the most excited. Therefore, Zhao Gao appointed him the post of "Prime Minister", and the rest of the followers were all important officials of Jiuqing.

As for the enthronement ceremony, Zhao Gao chose an auspicious day three days later.

At three o'clock, the banquet was over, and Zhao Gao got drunk in the emperor's special carriage and went to the Taimiao to fast.

Along the way, all showed the majesty of the emperor.

Halfway through, Zhao Gao suddenly felt sore all over his body, and even the cushion under his buttocks became as hard as iron.

At first, Zhao Gao thought that someone was playing tricks on him, so he killed the master of ceremonies who arranged the carriage and the driver who drove the carriage. However, after putting on the cushions again, he was still very uncomfortable, and even sneezed violently and burst into tears.

In a short distance of less than two miles, Zhao Gao walked like hundreds of miles. He finally endured the hardships and came to the Taimiao, but his limbs were weak and his legs were numb.

bang——

Zhao Gao slapped the copy angrily, and scolded in a low voice: "Damn it! Who is responsible for it? Don't let me catch you, or I will tear you to pieces!"

As soon as the words fell, the surroundings knelt down and trembled.

At this time, several confidant palace servants walked to the carriage and said cautiously to Zhao Gao: "Your Majesty, do you need a servant to help you in?"

"Go back! Let's come again when we have the Zhao Family Ancestral Temple!"

Zhao Gao waved his hand coldly, then grabbed the reins from the coachman, and drove the carriage to leave Taimiao himself.

And not long after he left the Taimiao, the carriage suddenly returned to its original state, and there was something strange that could not be described.

Three days later, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled.

Zhao Gao was dressed neatly and stood outside Xianyang Palace, looking down at the officials. After half a ringing, with the melodious bell, he entered the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

Seeing the majestic Xianyang Palace full of joy, Zhao Gao suddenly felt an unprecedented excitement.

At this moment, Zhao Gao was so excited that he almost collapsed on the ground, just as he once vowed, he would climb to the highest position step by step and be the real Zhao Gao.

Now he's finally done.

Just one step, just one step, he will be on the throne that symbolizes the highest power. From then on, he will no longer be a humble servant, but the founder of Zhao Dynasty, Zhao Shihuang.

Just when Zhao Gao's heart was surging, Chongxin brought two beautiful maids to Zhao Gao's side, and said with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, I'm here to guide you!"

"Need not!"

Zhao Gao glanced at Chongxin lightly, then flicked the two maids away, and walked up the steps on his own.

While solemnly inspecting the courtiers on both sides, he tried to wake himself up, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart, so he was still unable to wake up.

Everything in front of him was dreamlike, illusory, yet extremely real. As the rhythm of his breathing intensified, Zhao Gao suddenly felt that his eyes became blurred, and his ears buzzed from time to time.

Ok?
How is this going?

Deep in the desire for power, Zhao Gao walked towards the dragon chair with a puzzled expression, but he stopped for no reason as the bells and drums rang together.

"Emperor Zhao Shi, the enthronement ceremony officially begins—"

This sound seemed to be a cry from the void, and Zhao Gao was awakened instantly.

Especially when he heard the word 'First Emperor', Zhao Gao's whole body trembled.

Ever since he became Yingzheng's servant, he never thought that he could be the first emperor himself. Therefore, when he monopolized the power, he thought that if he was the emperor himself, he would also be the first emperor like Yingzheng.

What is the second and third generations, those are the titles of Ying Qin. If you become the emperor yourself and change your surname, you must also be the first emperor.

What's more, this Emperor Zhao Shi sounds very majestic.

What kind of rebels and thieves, when you ascend the throne, wipe them out one by one, you Yingzheng can wipe out the six kingdoms, why can't I, Zhao Gao, calm down the world?
After thinking for a while, Zhao Gaoqiang calmed down and murmured to himself: "If you win the government and destroy the six kingdoms, I, Zhao Gao, will also destroy the six kingdoms. Isn't it God's will?"

"clang--"

As soon as the words fell, the bell rang loudly.

Zhao Gao knew that the most critical moment had come, so he flicked the crown, took the jade seal from the palace attendant, held it in his palm, and walked towards the dragon chair.

But at this moment, for some reason, when Zhao Gao got closer to the dragon chair, he felt more weird, so that he was sweating profusely and his face was pale.

Snapped!
Just as Zhao Gao stepped up the last step, he suddenly felt empty under his feet, and then he staggered forward.

"Your Majesty is little!"

Chongxin shouted.

Zhao Gao was startled, and hurriedly wanted to retreat, but as soon as his heel stepped on the steps, the entire nine steps collapsed.

"what--"

Zhao Gao screamed, and fell directly into the ruins of the ground.

"Your Majesty, save Your Majesty!"

Chongxin led a group of Zhao Gao's confidantes, and rushed to the steps in horror, only to see Zhao Gao hanging on the railing with blood stains on his face, it was horrible to see.

When Chongxin and others rescued Zhao Gao from the railing, the collapse of the steps subsided quickly, and the entire hall returned to normal.

Such a strange scene shocked all the court ministers.

However, the most horrifying thing is not this, it is the jade seal of the first emperor, which has disappeared.

Although something strange happened in the enthronement ceremony, Zhao Gao's ambition to become emperor did not fade away. After the Xianyang Palace was restored, he was ready to ascend the throne again.

However, time waits for no one, the battle in Guanzhong has come to an end, and the Chu army marching to Xianyang is approaching soon.

Zhao Gao has neither the ability to govern nor the ability to run the army, so he is extremely blind to the general trend of the world, so he missed the best time.

If he used Hu Hai's name in the first place to call on the king of the world, maybe he could win a chance.

It's a pity that time is fate, Liu Bang in Yunyang, and Xiang Yu in the overlord are all threats, and it is as difficult as climbing the sky to make a comeback.

As Hu Hai said, no matter who is the emperor, he will not be able to do so for a long time. Compared with the short-lived emperor's dream, Zhao Gao wants to live on, so he must find a scapegoat.

The world is against Qin, and all the hatred should be borne by the descendants of Ying Qin. As long as I can push all the blame on the descendants of Ying Qin, I can attack when I advance, and I can defend when I retreat. Isn't it beautiful?

However, what Zhao Gao didn't expect was that he searched all over the imperial city but couldn't find a single heir of Yingzheng.

When Zhao Gao was in a state of desperation, Xin Sheng's special envoy suddenly came to the door.

At this time, in Zhao Gao's study, Special Envoy Xin Sheng sat opposite to Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao sipped tea and pondered. After a while, he asked calmly, "I don't know what orders General Xin has?"

Hearing this, Xin Sheng's special envoy Wang Xu cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister Zhong, General Xin is stationed in Yunyang, and now Liu Bang's army is approaching the city. General Xin has not fought him so far, and is only waiting for Prime Minister Zhong's order!"

Zhao Gao sneered in his heart, but said with a hint of ridicule: "General Xin's 20 elite, I can't give orders!"

"As long as Prime Minister Zhong is willing, he can give orders, but I don't know what Prime Minister Zhong wants, so I don't dare to say something!"

"Since you are here on behalf of General Xin, you might as well speak up if you have something to say!"

Zhao Gao waved his hand, and the surrounding palace attendants immediately left the study.

"General Xin was very sad when he heard that the second emperor passed away, so he sent his subordinates to mourn, but the country cannot live without a king. I don't know how the prime minister will arrange it?" Wang Xu said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Why?" Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows: "General Xin intends to establish a new monarch?"

"As a veteran of the empire, I naturally want to continue the empire!" Wang Xu said seriously.

"Ah!"

Zhao Gao let out a 'heh' and said with a sneer, "Since you want to continue the empire, why didn't you send troops to support the country when it was in danger?"

"Prime Minister Zhong's words are wrong!"

Wang Xu said disapprovingly: "General Xin was ordered by the emperor to defend the capital, so he should do his duty!"

"What's more." As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, "If General Xin hadn't stopped the rebels, the rebels would have already broken through Xianyang and were on the verge of entering and leaving the palace!"

"Hehe, so the old man has to thank General Xin for his kindness in protecting the country?"

Zhao Gao asked with a sneer.

Wang Xu said indifferently: "I came here today not to engage in a verbal dispute, but to discuss the future of the empire. If the Prime Minister of China intends to discuss with you, then you might as well give your opinion. If you have no intention of discussing with him, then I will go back and report immediately!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and added: "Oh, by the way, before leaving, General Xin asked me to pass a word to Prime Minister Zhong!"

"What?" Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wang Xu said with a half-smile: "General Xin said that the gates of Yunyang are not very tight, and I hope the Prime Minister will make a decision early!"

"you--!"

Hearing Wang Xu's words, Zhao Gao was furious. He just wanted to call for someone to kill Wang Xu, but before he could speak, he stopped abruptly.

Xin Sheng sent an envoy at this time, and he had already concluded that he was at the end of his rope.

If he does not cooperate with Xin Sheng, then Xin Sheng will form an alliance with the rebels, open the city gate, and let the rebels enter the city, then he will definitely die.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Gao sighed helplessly, and then said to Wang Xu, "Do you think this old man doesn't want to establish a new ruler? It's really hard to choose a new ruler!"

"How difficult is it to decide? Didn't the late emperor have many heirs?"

"This"

Zhao Gao was at a loss for words, and in his heart he scolded Wang Xu for being shameless for asking questions knowingly.

However, Wang Xu said thoughtfully: "If the Prime Minister of China really can't confirm the candidate for the new monarch, why don't I propose someone, okay?"

"Are you here to pick someone up?"

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, apparently unable to react.

But Wang Xu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zhong, don't get me wrong, the person I mentioned is also someone that General Xin values."

"Who?" Zhao Gao frowned.

"Qin Huang's only clan disciple, Ziying!"

"There is actually a prince of the royal family in Xianyang City?"

Zhao Gao couldn't help being surprised when he heard Wang Xu's words.

When he thought about it, he had already killed all the Yingqin royal family, why did a Ziying suddenly appear?

Moreover, it was Xin Sheng who proposed to support Ziying as emperor. Could it be that Xin Sheng had expected it long ago, so he secretly protected Ziying while he was killing the Yingqin royal family?

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao was extremely annoyed, as if he was being used as a gunman.

At the beginning, Xin Sheng supported his own self-respect, and it should be for today. He waited for him to kill all Yingzheng's heirs, and then justifiably supported his own man as emperor, so as to monopolize the power.

"What a praying mantis catching cicadas, the oriole is behind, I really underestimated you, Xin Sheng!"

Zhao Gao felt aggrieved in his heart, but he shook his head and sighed: "It's not Zhao Gao's wish to support Shuzi as emperor, but it is God's will!"

"So, Prime Minister Zhong agrees?" Wang Xu asked solemnly.

"Since General Xin intends it, how dare Zhao Gao disobey it!"

"Ha ha!"

Wang Xu smiled noncommittally, and bowed his hands to Zhao Gao: "With Prime Minister Zhong's support, I can go back and report to you!"

After speaking, he got up and said goodbye.

Looking at the back of Wang Xu leaving, Zhao Gao clenched his fists, thoughtful.

Although supporting Ziying is not as he wished, but with Xin Sheng's cooperation, he can be stable for a while.

Anyway, the emperor is just a scapegoat. What is the difference between Ziying being the emperor and being the emperor himself?
The Xiang family can find a young man who herds sheep to be King Huai of Chu, so why not support a Li Zi?
After pondering for a while, Zhao Gao immediately decided to support Ziying as Qin III together with Xin Sheng, and invited Chongxin and others to discuss the enthronement ceremony.

On the other side, at the head of Yunyang City, Xin Sheng put his sword in his hand, looked at the Chu army camp outside the city, and remained silent.

A moment later, a burly young man with a mask on his head slowly walked towards him: "Father, my son has finished his military inspections!"

Xin Sheng gave an 'hmm', and then asked without looking back: "How is the situation with the Chu army?"

"Ten days ago, someone came to call for an formation, and then they retreated to the camp, and there was no attack!"

"Haicheng, do you think there is something wrong with being a father?"

"Why did father say that?" The young man asked in confusion, he was Xin Sheng's eldest son, Xin Haicheng.

Since Xin Haicheng left Pinyang, he has been by Xin Sheng's side. Although he didn't participate in many wars, he had a lot of training. Now he has the strength of the number one general in the army.

"My father was originally a pawn in the frontier army. Thanks to the appreciation of the late emperor, he has the current status. However, the late emperor passed away so suddenly, which made my father extremely confused. Seeing that the country is about to perish, but supporting the soldiers with self-respect, it really shouldn't be. "Xin Sheng sighed with regret.

Xin Haicheng cupped his hands and said, "Father doesn't want to work for the Hunjun, and the officers and men under him understand him. Now that the Hunjun has passed away, my father, as a general of the empire, will be an important town in Heshan!"

"Hehe, my son can understand it as a father, and I feel very relieved to be a father!"

"That"

Xin Haicheng hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Has Father made a decision?"

"Wang Xu has already gone to Zhao Gao, and I believe there will be a result soon."

Xin Sheng said, looking back at Xin Haicheng with a smile on his face: "As long as Zhao Gao agrees, we will support Ziying as Qin III!"

"Father actually sent someone to discuss with Zhao Gao?"

Xin Haicheng asked angrily with some confusion: "That traitor Zhao Gao has killed many loyal officials and famous generals, why do we need his consent?"

"Those who achieve great things are not afraid of minor details. Of course Zhao Gao deserves to die, but he is the prime minister of Daqin in name. If the new monarch does not get his support, his reputation will not be right!" Xin Sheng said seriously.

"Then when is father going to kill Zhao Gao?" Xin Haicheng asked.

Xin Sheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "The one who killed Zhao Gao was not us!"
