The Great Qin Empire

At the first hour of the 37th day of July (Jenxu) in the [-]th year of Qin Shihuang, the sky was already bright, and the fiery red sun drove away the last coolness of the summer morning.Ying Zheng led Qin Yang out of the emperor's tent with Qin Yang in armor and helmet.Li Si, Yao Jia, Zheng Guo, Yang Duanhe and other ministers were waiting anxiously five feet away from the emperor's tent.Because the first emperor had already ordered Yang Duanhe not to be disturbed, no one dared to disturb the emperor.But when they saw His Majesty the Emperor suddenly come out of the big tent with a sergeant, while Zhao Gao, who was inseparable from the Emperor, was nowhere to be seen, they were all extremely astonished.

Ying Zheng ignored the astonishment of the crowd, and only said: "Everyone, step down, I will make my own decision on what to do today. If I want to walk around, you don't have to follow."

"Your Majesty, you are weak. Be careful of the cold. It is not appropriate to travel alone without guards. Please think twice, Your Majesty." Li Si is the chief minister of the camp and the current prime minister. Under the circumstances, no one dared to speak out to persuade them.

"Does Li Qing think I'm weak? Do you think I'm dying? There are no guards? Do you think my five thousand cavalry are trash?" After Qin Yang's reminder, Ying Zheng no longer had much affection for Li Si. Immediately retorted, a huge emperor's power spread out instantly.

But when Ying Zheng said this, Qin Yang felt faintly uneasy, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I deserve death for my crimes." Li Si was frightened into a cold sweat by Ying Zheng's words.

When Li Si raised his head from the shock, Ying Zheng had already gone far away from Qin Yang.Only a group of people stood there stunned.

Ying Zheng and Qin Yang came to the side of the small river, and following Qin Yang's whistle, they stepped on the snow for a long time and walked across the weeds on the other side of the river to Qin Yang.

"Your Majesty, the subject is leaving, take care, Your Majesty!"

When it was time to say goodbye, even if Qin Yang had a thousand words to say, he could only say this one.Qin Yang's heart was about to break at the thought that this trip might really be a farewell.At this moment, Qin Yang found that the person in front of him in his heart was no longer an emperor who was worshiped by others, but a person whom he cared about endlessly. in mind.

"Take care too, go and come back!"

When Ying Zheng said this, he didn't look like he was seeing off a courtier, but like a father telling a child who was about to go away.

"drive!……"

"Baby, baby..."

Following Qin Yang's yelling and the hissing of Treading Snow, Qin Yang finally rumbled away with the rising sun like lightning.

Originally, Qin Yang wanted to go out alone, but Ying Zheng thought that Qin Yang's possessions had been exposed, and his arrival had aroused the vigilance of the guards. Ying Zheng was worried that Qin Yang might be in danger if he went out by himself, so he insisted on sending him away.When Qin Yang thought about it, he also felt that what Emperor Shi Huang said was not unreasonable, so he stopped insisting, and only then did the farewell scene begin.

Ying Zheng and Qin Yang never expected that when they parted in full view, all kinds of envious, shocked, frightened, vicious eyes were intertwined on them.

None of the ministers and soldiers who watched all this from a distance knew who the "Qin Army Sergeant" who the emperor sent off in person was, and no one knew why the emperor sent someone out suddenly.

Ying Zheng watched Qin Yang gallop away until Qin Yang's back completely disappeared, and then slowly walked back to the big tent full of melancholy.He didn't even hear Prime Minister Li Si bit the bullet and asked him when the camp should start, because he was thinking about how to deal with the next thing.

In the big tent, the two guards in the outer hall were still asleep. Ying Zheng had no anger in his eyes, but walked over and bent down to shake the two of them. He fell asleep on the ground, terrified and inexplicable for a moment, too dazed to move.

"Why, do you want me to help you up?" A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.Ying Zheng remembered that Qin Yang told himself on the way of parting that now that the old Qin people were scattered all over the place, there were not many old Qin people available, and he was asked to treat the three knocked out guards kindly.Since the three of them never knew the secret of the edict, Ying Zheng didn't want to punish these people anymore.Maybe even Ying Zheng himself didn't notice his change. In the past, even if these people had ten heads, it wouldn't be enough for Ying Zheng to chop off such felony dereliction of duty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me." Seeing that a life was recovered, the two were overjoyed, turned around and bowed, and left in an instant.

Zhao Gao and the two maids in the inner hall were still collapsed on the ground.

Perhaps it was because Qin Yang was a little uneasy under Ying Zheng's scolding, and the force of the hit on the back of Zhao Gao's head was a bit weaker. Zheng and Qin Yang had heard most of the conversation.It's just that Zhao Gaoshen didn't show his thoughtfulness, he knew that he heard such a confidential matter, and the emperor would rather make his own edict than wake himself up, he must not want himself to know about it.If Ying Zheng and Qin Yang knew that they were awake, they would surely die.So Zhao Gaoqiang endured the severe pain in his right arm and continued to pretend to be unconscious. Later, when he heard Qin Yang talk about the matter between himself and Li Si, his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out.It wasn't until Ying Zheng and Qin Yang left their tents that they walked away.Only then did Zhao Gao heave a sigh of relief.He stood up and wanted to reset his dislocated arm, but how can Qin Yang's technique be done by ordinary people?Zhao Gao was so tired that he was sweating profusely, but it didn't help.At this moment, Ying Zheng's familiar footsteps sounded outside the tent. Zhao Gao was horrified and had no choice but to hold his breath and continue lying on the ground, pretending to be in a coma.

Ying Zheng chased away the two guards, entered the inner hall, and saw Zhao Gao still lying on the ground, he couldn't bear it again.Ying Zheng walked over and kicked Zhao Gao habitually, and shouted: "Little Gao, get up for me!".It's just that Ying Zheng didn't realize that Zhao Gao was awake in the first place.

Zhao Gao's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that the emperor knows that I'm awake?"

"No, the emperor is just used to calling me that. It's about death, so I have to gamble anyway." Zhao Gao's thoughts changed, and he overturned his original idea in an instant. He decided to gamble once, and his "gamble capital" was Ying Zheng's incomparable trust and deep care for him for decades.

Zhao Gao didn't move, he seemed to have stopped breathing.

"Get up, little Gaozi!" Ying Zheng kicked again, but his voice was a little hoarse, and the expression of panic was palpable.

When Zhao Gao heard Ying Zheng's shout, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he knew that he had won the bet.The emperor is just an "ordinary person" with emotions and desires.

After a long time, Zhao Gao didn't move a little bit, and the muffled moans of extreme pain kept coming out of Zhao Gao's mouth, and he started his own performance.And there is only one audience, and that is the first emperor Yingzheng.

Unfortunately, Ying Zheng was moved by such a performance.He left the tent in a few steps, and ordered: "Physician Xuan...".In the whole empire, except for Wang Ben, the only one who asked the emperor to personally order to proclaim the imperial physician for decades, Zhao Gao was the only one who could enjoy this honor.

After a while, the imperial physician rushed over, and it took a lot of effort to "wake up" Zhao Gao, and helped Zhao Gao straighten his arm.By the way, under the emperor's signal, the two maids were rescued, and then they took the second daughter with them in fear.It wasn't until this time that Zhao Gao really came back to life. He groaned and immediately threw himself to the ground, saying, "Your Majesty, it's a death sentence for Xiao Gaozi. The little Gaozi failed to protect you and let the thieves break into your Majesty's bedroom." I have disturbed His Majesty, if His Majesty makes any mistakes, Xiao Gaozi will die forever." Immediately, his nose burst into tears, his whole body was shivering, and his forehead was sweating profusely, I really don't know if he was hot or frightened have to!

When Ying Zheng saw it, he was heartbroken again. Thinking of Zhao Gao's back and forth over the past 40 years, and thinking of Zhao Gao's care for him day and night when he was sick in the past few months, Ying Zheng's heart softened inexplicably.He had already thrown Qin Yang's words out of the blue.Although he believed in Qin Yang's words, he believed in his own heart and judgment even more: one possibility was that Qin Yang could successfully deliver the imperial edict to Jiuyuan, Meng Tian appointed Qin Yang as the general after receiving the imperial edict, and then Qin Yang and Fusu went back to the hunting camp together, and persisted for eight days with four pills and perseverance. After the two returned, they held a small court meeting by themselves and made Fusu the crown prince in public; Meng Tian returned to Xianyang with the imperial edict, together with Meng Yi and Li Xin to supervise the country, and waited for him to return to Xianyang within eight days for the Great Court Conference to establish a crown prince, while Qin Yang returned to the tour camp.

Of course, Ying Zheng also thought of the situation that he would not be able to return to Xianyang due to an accident, but even so, those two assumptions are also feasible with the support of the will.What's more, he didn't believe that Zhao Gao and Li Si had the courage to carry out their plot when he was still alive.But Ying Zheng thought a lot, but never thought of Meng Tian's stubbornness, Fu Su's indecision, and Zhao Gaoli's sinister humanity.

"Get up, stop howling there, I'm not dead yet." Shi Huang cursed sullenly.

"Your Majesty, little Gao doesn't dare, woo woo..." Zhao Gao secretly rejoiced when he heard the first emperor's scolding.After serving the first emperor for more than forty years, Zhao Gao knew the first emperor better than himself. He knew that if the first emperor scolded him, his life would be saved, at least for now.However, Zhao Gao still wanted to do enough tricks, so that the first emperor could not see the slightest flaw.

"Get up when I tell you to get up, do you still want me to help you?" Ying Zheng was furious, and kicked over again.

"Yes!" Zhao Gao didn't dodge or avoid being kicked by Emperor Shihuang, and then he slowly got up.His life was finally saved without compromise.
