Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-05-20

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that God is also mourning the passing of this generation of emperors, but now there is a bigger problem before everyone: who will rule the huge country of Qin .

In the side hall of the Dune Palace, three people were silently looking at each other: Li Si, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.

"All those imperial physicians have been executed by my order." Zhao Gao said coldly.

"Why? Are they buried just because they couldn't save the emperor?" Li Si asked.

Zhao Gao looked at Li Si and said, "Of course there are other reasons besides this. Could it be that the prime minister can't figure it out?"

Li Si glanced at Hu Hai at one side and said, "You want to hide the emperor's funeral?"

"That's right, it seems that the Prime Minister is not so ignorant." Zhao Gao said with a smile, "You should know what our ultimate goal is."

"But the emperor has already made a posthumous photo, and he wants to help Prince Su to be the second emperor of Daqin."

"Apart from the three of us, who else heard it? Prime Minister, you should understand the current situation in the Dune Palace very well. You have only two choices now. One is to cooperate with us and make Prince Huhai the emperor, and the other is the prime minister. Li Si committed suicide because of his loyalty to the emperor. You can still be your prime minister for the former, and your Li family is still rich and prosperous. As for your martyrdom..." Zhao Gao said in a string The sneer ended, but Li Si felt the taste clearly.

Li Si looked at Hu Hai who was silent beside him, and then turned his head to look outside the hall, only to see dozens of Zhao Gao's men holding sharp knives outside the hall.Obviously, as long as he shook his head, several guards would rush in and chop him up.

After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes, and said vigorously: "Okay, the emperor's posthumous photo is passed down to the second prince Hu Hai!" After speaking, he turned around abruptly and walked towards the gate of the palace.

When his hand just touched the door of the main hall, Hu Hai, who had been silent all this time, said, "Your Prime Minister, it is best not to meet anyone alone before returning to Xianyang, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Hearing this, Li Si's footsteps stopped suddenly, but then he opened the door of the palace with a swipe, and walked to his lower place without looking back.

After Li Si left, Hu Hai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, this old fox has been brought to our side. I'm afraid that he will resist at all costs, and then our plan will have to be re-deployed."

Zhao Gao said with a chuckle: "Prince, no, you should be called emperor now, you don't know Li Si well enough, he is not a real celebrity, and he still can't see that fame is more important than life and interests, so the old man I am [-]% sure that I can convince him."

"Now that Li Si has been convinced, our next plan can be implemented, right?" Hu Hai asked eagerly.

Zhao Gaodao: "Now is not the time to rush back to Xianyang to proclaim the emperor. The emperor must not forget that Fusu is still in Shangjun, and besides him is General Meng Tianmeng who holds a heavy army."

Hu Hai said indifferently: "As long as I become emperor in Xianyang, he will become my subject if he helps Su. Does he dare to rebel?"

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If he is determined to fight against you, the emperor, I am afraid that many people will join Fusu, and it will take a lot of effort to deal with him at that time."

"Then what can you do to deal with Fusu?" Hu Hai seemed a little dazed after hearing Zhao Gao's words.

Zhao Gao showed a smug smile on his face: "That's why I killed those imperial physicians so as not to let the news of the emperor's death spread. We can keep the mourning secret and rush back to Xianyang with the team, and then use Daxing Emperor In the name of Fusu, he sent an imperial decree to Fusu, saying that he was ineffective in guarding the border, failed in doing things, disloyal to the court, and unfilial to the emperor, and asked him to kill himself to thank the world. Fusu will definitely kill himself after receiving this decree. Then we can use the excuse that Meng Tian is not good in taking care of the prince and ask him to kill himself, then we can get rid of these two scourges without bloodshed."

"Wonderful." Hu Hai couldn't help beaming with joy when he heard this strategy, "Indeed, according to my understanding, Fusu will definitely commit suicide after accepting the imperial decree, and by that time, the northern soldiers and horses will not be able to do any chaos without someone to lead them. Alright, I will do as you said immediately, and quickly issue an imperial edict to Fusu."

Zhao Gao took out an imperial decree from his bosom and said: "Old slaves are ready, now go and order someone to send the imperial decree to Shangjun quickly." After speaking, he left the gate of the main hall.

Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao who had left, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Outside the city of Shangjun, one person and one rider are running towards Shangjun.Obviously he came from a long-distance gallop, the horse was already dripping with sweat, and the person on the horse looked even more exhausted, as if sitting on the horse would fall off at any time.But his horse speed did not slow down a bit.

Ever since he left the Dune Palace, he felt that someone was watching him.It was also because of this keen sense that he escaped the interception again and again, but the opponent was clearly well-managed, and he had already killed a dozen people who wanted to kill him along the way, but someone still caught up from behind.

Mo Cong only felt that he was about to exhaust the last bit of strength in his body.He can be regarded as one of the most skilled martial arts and equestrian among the guards around Yingzheng, but he is already exhausted. Seeing that Shangjun City is in sight, he has an ominous premonition that he may not be able to enter the city.

Sure enough, when he vaguely saw the two seal characters of Shangjun, there was the sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air from behind.He turned around abruptly, waving the knife in his hand to block the arrows that shot at him, but the horse he stepped off, this steed that had followed him for three years and had saved him several times these days, came out. There was a groan, and then fell down with a bang.And Mo Cong was also thrown from the horse heavily by inertia, and then fell to the ground.He just felt dizzy for a while, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.Immediately afterwards, he saw a man in black leather armor appearing in front of him, the knife in the man's hand flashed a dazzling light under the sunlight, and then the knife fell on him, and Mo Cong I don't know anything anymore.

The man put the knife back into the scabbard, walked up to Mo Cong's body, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and was about to tear him apart with his hands, but it was the same as the situation Mo Cong encountered just now. The crossbow arrows also shot at the back of his neck.But there is still a difference between the two sides, Mo Cong was on guard, so the crossbow arrow did not kill him, but this man was not on guard, he only had time to turn around when he heard the sound of the crossbow arrow piercing the air, The arrow happened to be piercing his Adam's apple and pierced out from behind, and his hand had just held the knife that was used to kill people just now.

quiet!

After almost a meal, only one person appeared in front of the fallen man, took the cloth from his hand that he had not had time to destroy, and then rushed to Shangjun City.

Fusu looked at the content on the silk book, and at the same time listened to the visitor telling him how the silk book changed hands.After listening to his words, Fusu stood up and bowed to him, saying: "If it wasn't for the help of the strong man, Fusu would not be able to read this book. Here, Fusu thanked the strong man for himself and Daqin."

The man hastily returned the gift and said: "The villain is only protecting this silk book by the order of my prime minister. I am ashamed that I have never dared to show up to help the person who sent the book."

"Prime Minister's righteousness to help Su must be in mind." Fu Su said to the left and right, "Go and bring the body of the strong man outside the city into the city. Fu Su will bury him generously."

The man looked at Fusu appreciatively: "Prince Fusu, I don't know what's going on in Shaqiu now, I'm worried that the Prime Minister will hurry back and stay here soon."

Fu Su nodded and said, "I know you are a loyal man, so I won't keep you. Come, prepare three hundred coins for the strong man to thank you."

The man thanked him for the reward and hurried back.

"Prince, do you think the things in this book are credible?" Li Heng asked after reading the letter.

Fusu tried his best to recall Qin Shihuang's last behavior in his memory, but unfortunately he couldn't remember anything, so he had to give up, it seemed that he had to judge by himself.He thought for a while and said: "From the perspective of people's words, this silk script should indeed be the emperor's edict."

"I think so too." Li Heng fanned his fan and said, "But even if it's true, do you think you should return to Xianyang, Prince?"

Fu Su shook his head and said: "No. Now I have a shallow foundation in the court. Although I have the help of Prime Minister Li Si, it is not as good as the arrangement of Zhao Gao and Hu Hai for many years. If I go, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself, let alone fight for the throne. And if the emperor is outside..., then I will have no guarantee to return to Xianyang." Fusu is very sure that Qin Shihuang died in the sand dunes, so entering Xianyang now is completely like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Even if you kill him, you won't go.But I can't say this directly, I can only make assumptions.

"The prince is right. Your foundation is in Shangjun. You can't easily leave here and go to Xianyang. But judging from Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's reflection, they don't want you to enter Xianyang either. Why?" Meng Tian also asked on the side road.

"Perhaps they think too highly of my supporters. If I have the emperor's posthumous photo and make me the emperor, I can defeat them in Xianyang, but I'm afraid that Zhao Gao will be a hindrance."

"The prince's worry is unreasonable. In my opinion, let's wait. If the emperor returns to Xianyang safely, then it's not too late for us to go." Li Heng suggested.

"It seems that we can only wait and see the changes." Fu Su shook his head and said, "I have been waiting for several years."

"Only enough patience can deal a fatal blow to the enemy." Li Heng comforted.

Fusu stood up and said loudly: "Then let's continue to accumulate strength. Let's go, let's go and see how the newly trained soldiers are doing." He said and took the lead towards the school field.
