Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 385 Wang Jian died of illness and Zhao Gao took over power (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

"clang--"

"clang--"

"clang--"

In Xianyang Palace, thick smoke is rising from Youxian Garden. In one copper furnace, the soup is boiling. In another copper furnace, the golden solid substance being refined is liquefying into a white liquid.

All kinds of precious herbs and five-color rare stones were washed and dried separately in the yard, piled up one by one in the yard.

The palace people are delivering water, adding firewood, and selecting materials in an orderly manner.

The people in the garden were busy.

But when the bell rang five times, all the eunuchs stopped their busy steps.

The bell strikes three times, which means the court meeting.

And when the bell rang six times, it meant that the emperor or empress had passed away.

But it rang five times, which was strange.

In Xianyang Palace, six big bells were struck simultaneously on the tall towers.

Soon, the announcement of the visitor's order resounded throughout Xianyang Palace.

"The Marquis of Wucheng has passed away!"

This news was like a deadly poisonous arrow, which severely hit Ying Zheng's desire for immortality and also dealt a blow to the Qin soldiers.

When the news spread, the people in Xianyang were like a cauldron being exploded. Everyone was talking about it in the streets and alleys.

On the streets of Xianyang City, carriages galloped from the palace to the outside.

Ying Zheng was sitting in the carriage, his face was waxy, and his body was shaking along with the carriage.

Fusu also didn't expect that Wu Chenghou would live for so long. Although he still died before Ying Zheng, he died when Ying Zheng was seeking the elixir of immortality.

"Is there really anyone in this world who can survive? Marquis Wu Cheng, who had great military exploits and was unrivaled in the world, has passed away."

"There are some things that you believe in, but you don't believe in them."

The chatter outside the carriage still reached Ying Zheng's ears.

Ying Zheng was already in a nervous mood.

Wang Jian was his greatest contributor. Although his health had been deteriorating for a long time, Ying Zheng knew that he would die sooner or later.

"stop!"

Ying Zheng suddenly stopped.

The person driving for Ying Zheng was Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao also heard what he said just now.

Zhao Gaozheng was afraid. He was afraid that the emperor would also be angry with him when he was angry.

Zhao Gao skillfully pulled the reins, all six horses stopped moving, and the team also stopped in the street.

"Your Majesty, here is my minister."

Yingzheng's anger:

"The death of Meng Wu can be discussed by the common people; how can the common people dare to discuss what I have done?"

"I will order the whole family of the human race."

Ying Zheng felt happy after hearing this.

"Let's go."

The carriage resumed its journey, and the dust rolled up on the road again, making subsequent passers-by feel miserable.

Ying Zheng was sitting in the carriage, but he was still thinking about these two sentences in his heart.

If there is anyone in this world who can live forever, it must be me.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's heart calmed down again.

By the time Ying Zheng arrived at the palace, there were already crowds of carriages and horses gathered in front of the palace gate.

Everyone bowed their heads when they saw the emperor.

Ying Zheng walked quickly into the courtyard. As soon as he stepped onto the entry steps, he saw Wang Ben and Wang Li in plain clothes coming to pick him up.

Wang Ben's face was as white as a sheet of paper. Although Wang Li was also grieved, he was not as heartbroken as his father.

The world seems to underestimate the father-son relationship between Wang Ben and Wang Jian.

So when everyone saw Wang Ben, the former vigorous general, with hair as dry as grass, eyes lifeless, and a lost look, everyone was frightened.

Wang Ben is no different from a ghost.

Wang Ben spit out a few words from his mouth.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

"Flat body."

Ying Zheng's tone was slightly harsh, which could hide the slight lump in his throat.

Ying Zheng didn't look at Wang Ben, he walked straight to the hall.

There, he also asked Ji Yu Lao Wang Jian.

The last time is to attack Qi.

Ying Zheng walked quickly towards the atrium with his sword in hand. As soon as he stepped down the steps, he saw a coffin.

As if waking up from a big dream, when Ying Zheng saw the coffin, his footsteps suddenly stopped in place.

He stomped his feet slightly, then turned his head abruptly, turned his back to Wang Jian, and stopped moving forward.

"I have ordered people to strike the bell five times for Wang Jian in the palace and inform the palace. In addition, Wang Jian's funeral ceremony has been entrusted to Feng Chang to handle it, in accordance with the rules of the princes."

Wang Ben was immersed in great grief and could not care about the emperor.

After a while, Wang Li stepped forward and said:

"Wang Li, on behalf of the entire Wang family, would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness."

Ying Zheng glanced sideways at Wang Ben, unexpectedly, he turned out to be like this.

It was an eye-opener for Ying Zheng that the great general of the empire could be so downtrodden and lost.

Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Ben and didn't think much about it at that time. He looked around and then drove away.

It came in a hurry and left in a hurry. It only took an hour.But the grandeur of the ceremonial guards and military appearance alarmed half the people in the city.

Ying Zheng returned to the palace. He dismissed the servants who made groceries, leaving only Zhao Gao and Yu Yang.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne with a slight tilt, and he fell into deep thought.

"When I first met Wang Jian, he was just a centurion, dragging his son by his side and teaching him to ride a bull."

Wang Jian died, and Zhao Gao was actually a little worried.

Maybe one day, he will die too.

Everything must be prepared in advance.

He rarely even sees his daughter now.

Zhao Gaozheng was panicking, but Ying Zheng suddenly said something like this.

Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng, who had more white hair suddenly appearing on his head, and saw his suddenly aged face. He was frightened to death on the spot.

Fortunately, he is Zhao Gao, so he doesn't panic in any situation.

Zhao Gao composed himself and then said:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty should think less of this past family member. Your Majesty has the blessing of eternal life. These words should be spoken less often."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng no longer missed Wang Jian.

Shangshu Ling suddenly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, back then the Marquis of Wucheng came to the palace to ask for an audience with Your Majesty. Please ask Your Majesty to grant the title of Marquis of Che to his grandson Wangli after the death of Marquis Wucheng."

After Ying Zheng heard this, he suddenly remembered that there was another incident.

But at this time, Ying Zheng also suddenly realized that his memory was no better than before.

"Wang Li."

A young face appeared in front of Ying Zheng.

"I'll leave this matter to you."

"only."

Ying Zheng sighed deeply, and then felt exhausted.

"I'm tired."

Zhao Gao understood, and then helped Ying Zheng to rest at the edge of the cave.

After Ying Zheng closed his eyes, Zhao Gao quietly exited the inner hall.

Zhao Gao rushed to Zhangtai, and it happened that a new memorial was presented.

Zhao Gao saw these memorials from afar, with a slight disgust on his face.

"Mr. Commander, this is a report from Sishui County. There are thirty volumes in total."

Zhao Gao was very impatient, but he still walked leisurely and turned over the memorials.

Anyone who was detrimental to the empire would be thrown into the furnace and burned by Zhao Gao. Anyone who praised local political achievements would be kept by Zhao Gao.

After deleting the memorial, Zhao Gao swaggered out of the chapter stage.

Zhao Gao was very proud: His Majesty thought he was superior to the ancients, but in fact it was up to me, Zhao Gao, to succeed him.

Without me, Your Majesty would only feel like a complete waste.

Your Majesty is greedy for power and refuses to delegate power. Even if he grants the princes a ban, he still despises what they do. How can one person rule this huge world?

If it hadn't been for these years, he deleted these memorials for him, His Majesty would have died of overwork.

As Zhao Gao thought about this, he felt more and more deeply that he and Ying Zheng had a deep relationship, and he was actually reluctant to abandon Ying Zheng.

After all, it was Ying Zheng who gave him such a high position of power and asked him to entrust his criminal identity.

Speaking of which, that Pingyang Lord.

Gong Ziyu, Zhao Gao did not expect that this boy would be so thoughtful and that he would gain His Majesty's trust so easily.

There is also Young Master Jiang Lu, who is in Yandi. In the past year, Yandi has been so stable, and nothing major has happened.

He has to report this matter to Lord Dongyang.

I'm afraid there's something wrong with this.

In addition, the prince's former subordinates did not expect to show their talents after leaving the palace, and even achieved the position of county magistrate.

This was all approved by him, Zhao Gao.

In this way, it is naturally for Lord Dongyang.

But after Zhao Gao left, Yu Yang soon followed.

He was the one in charge of the documents, and Zhao Gao was only responsible for receiving and sending them.

After Yu Yang came in, he saw the brazier on the ground burning again.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Gao's eyes and ears naturally moved the brazier out quickly.

Yu Yang didn't think it was strange at first, but now, he began to feel strange.

These people are hiding something from me...

……

……

……

Wangfu.

Wang Ben knelt beside the cold coffin, as if he had coptis in his mouth.

"Father, please have my condolences. People cannot be resurrected after death. My grandfather has passed away. If my father is like this, he must be unhappy if he has a spirit underground."

After Wang Ben heard this, he reluctantly stood up.

At this time, Wang Ben suddenly thanked someone.

If it weren't for him, Wang Ben would not have the opportunity to serve his father's old illness, let alone stay with him until he died at the last moment.

The golden black falls in the west, and the jade rabbit rises in the east.

　If you say I can't drive, if you can drive it yourself, if you don't get along well, I'll call you daddy.
