Ni Chu

After Zhang Han surrendered, the Chu army under Xiang Yu drove straight into Hangu Pass as if entering a land without people, intending to enter through Hangu Pass, but Liu Bang broke through Wuguan and was about to advance to the last barrier of Xianyang峣 Guan.

When these news reached Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao was very frightened. He kept fooling Hu Hai and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of if a strong man rebels." He was afraid that the death penalty was inevitable, so he said he was sick and refused to go to court with the second emperor.

The way of heaven is clear, after all, paper cannot contain fire. Qin Ershi came back from hunting one day, and as soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed that a tiger with snow-white fur killed the horse in front of his cart.

The second generation was covered in cold sweat, and after waking up from his sleep, he was depressed all night. Early the next morning, he summoned a fortune teller to come to interpret his dream.

After calculation, the fortune-teller told the second emperor that it was caused by Jingshui, and that the disaster must be avoided by offering sacrifices to the water god.

In order to avoid the disaster, the Second Emperor immediately issued an edict, ordering the guard of honor to escort him to Wangyi Palace to bathe and pray, in order to solve the disaster.

Wangyi Palace was built along the Jingshui River, overlooking Beiyi from a distance, hence the name. This palace is very clean because it is far away from Xianyang, and the emperor seldom visits.

Since the Second Emperor came to offer sacrifices and pray, he was worried that the palace would be displeased by the mess of the palace, so he did not bring the maids and concubines here.

After the sacrificial offering, the Second King had nothing else to do, and asked his servants, "I heard that the strongmen outside made trouble, and Zhang Han was also defeated in Julu. What happened to the bandits now, have they been cut off by our Daqin army?"

When the servants who followed him heard that the Second Emperor had asked about the bandits' rebellion, they were taken aback for a moment, then glanced at each other, and then knelt down on the ground. Before they could speak, they were already bursting into tears.

Seeing the servant's appearance like this, the Second Emperor's heart tightened suddenly, and he hurriedly asked: "Why do you look like this, and what happened to the robbers?"

"Your Majesty," an older servant knelt on the ground, sobbing and said, "The rebellion of bandits has not been settled in the past few years. Now the Chu army has broken through Wuguan, and they are about to approach Xianyang."

Hearing the servant's words, the Second King was startled suddenly, his eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Didn't the prime minister say that they are just a small group of rogues, so there is nothing to be afraid of? Why is it so powerful now?"

Faced with Hu Hai's questioning, all the servants lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. As long as they answered another sentence, Zhao Gao's ruthless revenge was waiting for them. These people had been in the palace for a long time, and they had already seen Hu Hai's incompetence and stupidity. If the words are too deep, not only will it not have the slightest influence on Zhao Gao, but it will cost his own life.

"Immediately issued an edict to ask Zhao Gao why the bandits ran rampant and concealed them. In addition, he immediately sent troops to resist the bandits approaching Xianyang." Seeing that the servants were silent, Hu Hai frowned and said to them, "I'm tired. Let's take a break, you go down now, "

After receiving Hu Hai's edict, Zhao Gao was very frightened. In the edict, Hu Hai clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with him. He summoned his younger brother Zhao Cheng and his son-in-law Yan Le into the mansion overnight to discuss how to deal with this crisis.

"Hu Hai is already dissatisfied with me." When Zhao Cheng and Yan Le arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Gao entered the secret room with them and threw the edict in front of them, "I'm afraid it will not be easy to deceive him this time. Regardless of whether I send troops or not, it is already a crime that cannot be punished, not to mention that there are no soldiers to send in the court, where can I get soldiers and horses to defend against the bandits?"

"Brother, what do you mean?" Zhao Cheng picked up the imperial edict, browsed through it briefly, and asked Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao frowned, with a flash of sternness in his eyes, and said to Zhao Cheng and Yan Le: "I want to simply do one thing, and now that Hu Hai is still in Wangyi Palace, before he returns to the court, you wait to bring someone with him." Breaking through the Wangyi Palace and killing him, the Ying family in the Great Qin Dynasty can sit, why can't our Zhao family sit?"

"Brother said that just breaking Wangyi Palace is a serious crime of treason. If there is a slight mistake, none of our Zhao family members will be spared, and the plenum will be cut in half." Zhao Cheng was still a little apprehensive about killing Hu Hai, he hesitated After a while, he said: "If you really want to rebel, the elder brother must sit in the middle of the court to avoid the news from being leaked, and I will lead people to seal the road from Xianyang to Wangyi Palace and stop all the messengers coming and going. As for breaking the Wangyi Palace, This matter will be handed over to Yan Le, he has a lot of dead soldiers, so he must be more confident when doing it, "

Zhao Gao nodded with a sullen face, and said to Yan Le: "My dear son-in-law, you immediately lead your troops out of Xianyang and go straight to Wangyi Palace. Don't delay on the way, lest people see what I'm waiting for."

"No," Yan Le replied, got up and walked towards the secret room.

"Brother, I will enter the palace immediately and call all the ministers to discuss the matter of the robbers entering the customs, so as to confuse their attention; you will immediately lead the troops to block the road from Xianyang to Wangyi Palace. You have two things to do , one is to prevent the messengers from Xianyang and Wangyi Palace, and the other is to pay close attention to the road conditions. If Yan Le fails to kill Hu Hai, you will hit him halfway on the road."

"No," Zhao Cheng also responded, and left the secret room.

Zhao Gao stood facing the wall with his hands behind his back, his brows were furrowed, and he said to himself after a long time: "Hu Hai, I wanted you to be a happy emperor, if you really ignore the government and are willing to do it It’s nothing more than a puppet, now that you dare to reprimand me, it’s useless to keep you, and when you get to Emperor Shihuang, you must not speak ill of me, you have to blame yourself for getting to where you are today.”

After issuing the edict to reprimand Zhao Gao, Hu Hai has been in a bad mood. Although he likes to have fun, this country belongs to the Ying family.

The First Emperor originally hoped that the land of Great Qin would last forever and last forever, but the land was in the hands of Hu Hai, and it fell to this point after only two lifetimes. Even though Hu Hai was fatuous and incompetent, he still knew how to feel guilty.

Several servants were by Hu Hai's side. Since he got up in the morning, Hu Hai had been sitting in the house, not playing with everyone as usual. His low mood also affected the servants. Although there were several people standing in the room, there was no sound , so quiet that even people's panting can be clearly heard.

"Your Majesty, it's not good." Just when Hu Hai frowned and regretted, the officer in charge of guarding Wangyi Palace pushed the door and barged in. As soon as the officer entered, the officer shouted to Hu Hai: "Xianyang ordered Yan Le to lead more than a thousand people to attack Wangyi Palace, there are only more than a hundred guards in the palace, it is difficult to support, please move quickly, Your Majesty."

Hearing that Yan Le rebelled, Hu Hai was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't Yan Le Zhao Gao's son-in-law? Why did he rebel?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, it's not clear, Zhao Gao has rebelled," the officer sighed, and shouted to the attendants standing around: "Hurry up, escort Your Majesty out of Wangyi Palace,"

Only then did a group of servants come to their senses, and hurriedly helped Hu Hai and ran out.

As soon as he left the harem, he heard the sound of shouting and killing from outside, and a group of soldiers chased the guards guarding Wangyi Palace and rushed into the inner palace.

Although those guards all had some kung fu, they were too few in number and were surrounded by the rushing soldiers. Although they fought hard one by one, they still fell down one after another.

The officer and a group of guards guarded Hu Hai to avoid the fighting rebels, and ran out from the small path. Just after running not far, a group of rebels suddenly rushed out from the diagonal stab. After the group of rebels rushed up, they went straight to Hu Hai rushed over.

Seeing this, the servants around Hu Hai shouted and fled in all directions.

The officer who had been guarding Hu Hai shouted to the only remaining servant beside him, "Hurry up and escort your majesty to the inner palace."

The servant was scared out of his wits by the sudden rush of the rebels, and the officer's roar brought him back to his senses, and hurriedly dragged Hu Hai towards the inner palace.

Seeing Hu Hai fleeing, the group of rebels who rushed out uttered a cry, and followed closely behind.

"Your Majesty, Hugh," the officer shouted loudly, holding his saber and rushing towards the group of rebels who were rushing over.

The rebels had basically wiped out all the guards guarding Wangyi Palace. They never thought that this officer would dare to charge up when there was only one person.

In astonishment, the two rebels were knocked to the ground by the officer. The rest of the rebels were also taken aback when they saw the officer's ruthlessness.

The officer knew very well that he was unlucky today and did not avoid it. He allowed dozens of spears to pierce his body. On the forehead of the previous guard.

After half a day of fighting, all the guards of Wangyi Palace were annihilated by the rebels, and Hu Hai fled into the inner palace under the protection of the only remaining servant.

The inner palace is full of buildings, although it is good for hiding, it is impossible to escape in the chaos.

Hu Hai sat on the ground in a daze. Since he came to the throne, he has always handed over all the government affairs to Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao has been impeached many times, but he also ignores it. It can be said that he has favored Zhao Gao to the extreme.

He didn't expect that it was this person who had always been the most favored by him, who not only ruined Daqin's court, the flames of war were almost burning to Xianyang and still deceived him, but also openly sent people to attack Wangyi Palace, trying to drive him out.

"You guys already knew what Zhao Gao did, right?" Hu Hai sat on the ground, staring blankly at the door and asked the attendant beside him.

The valet didn't speak, just pursed his lips and lowered his head.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Hu Hai stared at the servant with wide eyes, and growled at him: "As the emperor, I have been deceived by you all the time. Why did you keep it from me?"

Seeing that Hu Hai was angry, the servant fell to his knees with a "puff" and cried, "It's not that I don't want to tell your majesty, but it's because if I tell your majesty what Zhao Gao did, I'm afraid I won't be with you today." Beside His Majesty, there were many people who impeached Zhao Gao to His Majesty, but all those people were killed by His Majesty's order, who would dare to tell His Majesty the truth?"
