Prime Minister of Great Qin

Japan and China.

Big 'earthquake' in Xianyang.

Without any warning, without any warning, a large number of Qin soldiers appeared in the city, arresting all kinds of officials, ranging from the family members of the nine ministers to the ordinary subordinate officials and petty officials. The arrests were unusually sudden. Give the people in the city any time to react.

By the time they realized something was wrong, a large number of officials had already been involved.

But no one knows what exactly happened, and no one can find out.

Everyone in the city can see that what happened in the city this time is not trivial. Even the important ministers of the Nine Palaces were involved in something. The matter is definitely not trivial. And if you really calculate it, you will definitely find that there are at least thousands of people in the city. Arrested and imprisoned.

More importantly.

The First Emperor, who had been half hidden behind the scenes, returned to the stage today.

He also took over the power again.

The mass arrests in the city continue.

There is no sign of stopping.

There are even situations that are getting worse.

People in Xianyang City and nearby people are full of curiosity about what happened today.

However, all local officials remained silent.

at last.

At sunset.

Someone got some news.

There were ministers in the court who took advantage of the First Emperor's weakness and attempted to launch a coup, but the First Emperor discovered it early and crushed it.

As soon as the news came out.

There was an uproar in Xianyang City.

What followed was all kinds of scolding and anger.

The First Emperor was like heaven in the hearts of Qin people.

High above.

There is no room for anyone to slander, let alone anyone to humiliate, but now someone dares to take the initiative against the First Emperor. How can this not make the people of Qin furious? How can the people of Qin not feel indignant?

It is rare for the Qin people in Xianyang to have the same attitude.

They were all extremely active in reporting on the fugitives that the court was arresting.

There is no rest in the city.

now.

Inside Xianyang Palace.

Fusu was kneeling in the hall.

He placed his hands on the ground, his body trembling.

He already knew what had happened in Zhangtai Palace before. When he heard the news, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He almost ran to see the First Emperor. He did not dare to delay in any way, lest the First Emperor become suspicious.

But when he heard the order from the First Emperor to kill Zhao Gao and other officials together with Hu Hai after identifying Zhao Gao and others' accomplices, Fusu was stunned.

Although he shouldn't speak out for Fusu at this time, he still gritted his teeth and tried to find a way out for Hu Hai.

The first emperor, who was in anger, did not listen to any of his words.

He was filled with only murderous intent.

Fusu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Father, I beg my father to let my younger brother live. I believe that Hu Hai did not know about the rebellion. Hu Hai's feelings for his father are as good as the sun and the moon." Jian, why would you harm Your Majesty at this time? I think there must be a hidden agenda."

"Father, please investigate carefully."

"What should I do, and it's your turn to teach me?!" Ying Zheng said coldly.

"I don't dare." Fusu's body trembled even more, and his face became even pale. He said with shock and fear: "I just think that Hu Hai may not have been involved in this matter. Before the matter is found out, Convicting Hu Hai is really inappropriate."

"My son hopes that his father will."

"Shut up!" Ying Zheng suddenly shouted angrily, and then his face flashed with a flush, showing a look of pain. He breathed heavily, and then gradually subsided: "The rights and wrongs involved in this palace coup are in my heart. I have my own calculations, but I don’t allow you to point fingers.”

"You look like brothers and sisters at the moment."

"If I tell you, if I hadn't been vigilant and learned the news in advance, otherwise the person you see now is just a dead person, but you probably don't care at all. How can you care if I die or not? You even wish I were dead. He died in Zhangtai Palace."

"I have no intention of doing this." Fusu was sweating profusely.

"You defend Hu Hai, but do you know that Hu Hai and others have never thought about letting you go, and have long thought about replacing you. They even stated what they wanted to achieve in front of me, forging My 'edict' has directly abolished you, do you still want to intercede for Hu Hai now?" Ying Zheng's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Fusu coldly.

Fusu's face changed slightly.

He gritted his teeth tightly, but did not speak.

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and continued: "Do you really think that this is all?"

"You are the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty. You have been in charge of government for many days and your influence in the court is gradually deepening. If Hu Hai replaces you, it may cause a wave of criticism in the court. Therefore, Hu Hai and others have no intention of letting you live. Zhao Tuo even We have prepared soldiers and horses and set up an ambush outside Zhangtai Palace. As soon as you appear, we will immediately order a volley of arrows to shoot you to death in the palace. As long as you die, the dragons will be leaderless."

"He Hu Hai is the best candidate for Da Qin."

"We have the support of Zhao Tuo, Hu Wujing, Yu Shide and others."

"Even if the court has objections and confusion, he can still sit on the throne of the emperor."

"Even worse."

"They have long had the idea of ​​​​regicide."

"If I didn't know the news in advance and didn't arrange the manpower in advance, with my current body and Zhao Gao's many years of planning, how could I be Zhao Gao's opponent? Now I am afraid that I would have died in the palace long ago. How can I still give you a chance?" Opportunity to speak nonsense in front of me?"

"You keep defending Hu Hai."

"But how much do you know about your brother?"

"He really doesn't dare to kill you?"

"If he takes the throne, do you think he will let you go? Let you, the old prince, go?"

Ying Zheng shouted angrily. It is both the indisputability of Fusu and the absurdity of Fusu.

It is really ridiculous to think about others when others have their swords dropped on their necks.

How can such a prince succeed?

And

He also couldn't trust Fusu.

He can't trust anyone now.

Today's Fusu, in Ying Zheng's eyes, is all hypocrisy.

Fusu looked pained.

He didn't know how to defend himself.

But he understood that his father had murderous intentions.

If he couldn't dissuade him, Hu Hai might really die.

In fact, my father had already announced Hu Hai's death sentence. Otherwise, my father would only have to order a strict investigation. How could the officials really care about Hu Hai's life and death? But this time, my father did not even investigate, and directly sentenced Hu Hai to death. This clearly did not mean to give Hu Hai a way to survive.

Fusu bowed to the ground, his sad cries echoed in the Shenchen hall. Fusu said with difficulty: "Father, I really can't believe that Hu Hai will be involved in this matter. I always believe that Hu Hai is following this." It has nothing to do with it, Zhao Gao and others are determined to go their own way and try to drag Hu Hai into the water. I will ask my father to investigate clearly."

Fusu's forehead hit the ground heavily.

See this.

Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with coldness.

There was even a hint of disgust in his eyes.

He waved his sleeves and turned a deaf ear to Fusu's words, saying in a cold voice: "Fusu, do you really think that I don't know your true thoughts?"

"I just want to use this incident to seek political benefits for myself, to spread the reputation of a brother and brother to the world, to obtain more political capital for myself, and to establish an image of 'generous treatment of others' for the courtiers of Da Qin. You I just don’t bother to expose this trick.”

"Do you really think I can't see it?"

Hear the words.

Fusu was stunned.

Such thoughts had never occurred to him.

Even less dare to have it.

He said with a horrified look on his face: "Father, my son has absolutely no intention of doing this. Hu Hai is his brother. As the elder brother, how could I not save him? How could I plot such a thing? My son and I Is he such a disloyal and disloyal person?"

"My son is wronged."

Fusu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

He was really scared.

There had never been a moment when he was so unfamiliar with the First Emperor, as if he were a stranger.

He never thought that the First Emperor would view himself this way.

Ying Zheng's expression remained indifferent, like a wooden sculpture, showing no emotion. He said coldly: "Are you done? You can go out after you're done. I still have a lot of political affairs to deal with. As for the ones you handle, from now on, you can also go out. You don’t need to be responsible anymore, just go down and reflect on it.”

"When will you reflect clearly and when will you come see me again?"

"Father." Fusu had tears streaming down his face.

"Go down!" Ying Zheng shouted angrily, not wanting to listen to anything Fusu had to say.

Fusu struggled to support the ground and stood up, with a look of grievance and pain on his face. But when he saw the First Emperor's eyes full of frost, he didn't dare to make the First Emperor angry again. He finally opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything. Exit, turned around and left.

Ying Zheng's expression did not change.

He coughed a few times, regained his energy, and began to deal with the tedious political affairs.

He couldn't trust anyone.

He can't trust Li Si now.

Therefore, after the Zhangtai Palace incident broke out, he had taken back Li Si's power. All political affairs in the court were handled by himself and would never pass through the hands of others. Li Si had nothing to do with this situation. Opinions, simply give up authority.

I had to give in.

Xianyang has fallen into turmoil.

The heat of July.

At night it is cool and pleasant.

The night sky is blue, with the waning moon hanging high in the sky. The breeze is blowing slowly, blowing the leaves in the courtyard. The well in the courtyard is also shining with sparkling waves under the moonlight. The continuous chirping of cicadas during the day is irritating. It also stopped at this moment.

The tranquility between heaven and earth is intoxicating.

Ying Sinian built a wooden board in the courtyard and just lay on the wooden board. He covered his body with a thin layer of coarse cloth and simply covered his stomach, just looking at the bright starry sky in boredom.

at this time.

Ji Heng is back.

Walked out of the small courtyard on the side.

There was a piece of yellowed 'paper' in his hand. He rolled up the paper and placed it on the table beside him.

See this.

Ying Sinian asked curiously: "Master, is this piece of paper successful?"

Ji Heng shook his head and said: "I just saw that Hu Hai didn't come back, so I took it in for him to prevent it from raining and wet the paper. As for whether it succeeds or not, I'll leave it to Hu Hai himself."

"Oh." Ying Sinian nodded.

Just as Ji Heng and Ying Sinian were chatting, there was a rapid knock on Ji Heng's door.

Fusu's voice came in urgently.

"Mr. Ji, open the door quickly."

"Something serious has happened."

"Please sir, please save Hu Hai."
