Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 263 Secret Call
The sky gradually dimmed, and at sunset, the gate of Xianyang City was quietly opened a gap, and immediately, a convoy entered it and galloped to Xianyang Palace.

"Han Tan." There was a silent shout from the driver, and Han Tan immediately entered the carriage.

Seeing Ying Zheng's pale face, Han Tan was shocked and hurried to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Secretly summon Meng Yi and Li Si to Xianyang Palace."

"No." Han Tan immediately went down to make arrangements.

A moment later, Ying Zheng was lying on the bed, Xia Wujue went outside the door quietly after a little diagnosis and treatment, and at this time, Meng Yi and Li Si also came hand in hand.

The two immediately asked: "The Imperial Physician Order, how is Your Majesty's health?"

Seeing that the two of them were here at this time, Xia Wuqiu knew that Ying Zheng had summoned them, so he didn't hide anything, and said, "Don't worry, you two, Your Majesty is fine."

Hearing this, the big stone in the hearts of the two finally fell to the ground. Just now, Han Tan secretly sent someone to their house to deliver orders, but they were both shocked.

Therefore, they rushed here in a hurry.

"Why is this so, Your Majesty?" Li Si asked quietly.

Xia Wuqie said: "Prime Minister, this time His Majesty has been exhausted all the way, and he never stopped handling political affairs on the way, so the condition has become more and more serious."

"If a year ago, His Majesty listened to my minister's dissuasion, recuperated in peace, and had the possibility of eradicating the disease, but now, this sick minister is helpless, and can only try his best to control the disease for His Majesty and prolong his life."

Both Meng Yi and Li Si showed horror on their faces. They knew that Ying Zheng's health had not been very good these years, but they never thought that it had developed to such a serious state.

At this moment, Han Tan came out and said: "Your Majesty has an order to order Shangqing Mengyi to have an audience."

Han Tan looked at Li Si and said, "Prime Minister, please wait in the side hall for a while."

After finishing speaking, he immediately led Meng Yi into the hall.

At this time, Ying Zheng was half lying on the bed, his eyes were slightly closed, his gray hair was scattered around his body, exuding a dull air.

"Chen Yi pays homage to Your Majesty." Seeing Ying Zheng like this, Meng Yi couldn't help but feel distressed.

Hearing this voice, Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Meng Yi, and said with a smile: "Meng Qing, it's all right, I won't die yet."

"I called you here this time to ask you, after a hundred years from now, who will inherit the land of Great Qin?"

"Your Majesty, this..." Hearing this question, Meng Yi hung up the boulder that had been put down in his heart again.

Ying Zheng said: "Meng Qing, there is no need to say anything else, you have always been on good terms with Fusu, do you prefer Fusu?"

Meng Yi suddenly knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty asks me, I really want to help Mr. Su."

"Okay!" Ying Zheng coughed several times, and said, "I know that among the many princes, Fusu is the top choice in terms of prestige and talent, but Fusu is still too soft-hearted after all."

"Your Majesty..." Meng Yi just wanted to defend Fusu when he saw Ying Zheng wave his hand to stop him, and Meng Yi swallowed the words in his throat.

Ying Zheng said: "Mengqing, listen to me."

"I sent Fusu to the north this time because I hope that Fusu can be there, and follow your elder brother Meng Tian to forge a pair of steel and iron bones. If Fusu returns, it is still the same as before. I hope that you two brothers can have a good time." Assisting him, we must not let Fusu put Daqin in danger of overthrowing."

"The minister takes orders." Meng Yi kowtowed heavily on the ground.

After a while, Li Si was led here by Han Tan.

"Emperor, you..." Li Si was also taken aback. He didn't expect that this secret trip would cause such great damage to Ying Zheng's body. Li Si remembered that before this trip, Ying Zheng's body looked good, but he didn't expect that. But when he came back, he looked terminally ill.

"Prime Minister, sit beside me."

Li Si followed suit, followed Ying Zheng's instructions, and sat on the edge of the bed.

In this world, Li Si is the only one who can be so close to Ying Zheng. Compared with Meng Yi, Ying Zheng has more trust in Li Si.

"Prime Minister, how many years have we been together?" Ying Zheng's eyes were full of remembrance.

"Report to Your Majesty, when Your Majesty inherited the throne for ten years, it has been 26 years since your ministers issued letters of remonstrance." Li Si's complexion also recalled the various scenes of that year.

"It's been 26 years, how time flies!" Ying Zheng was also a little emotional.

"Prime Minister, I'm on the verge of dying! This Daqin..."

Ying Zheng wanted to continue, but Li Si had already knelt on the side of the bed, weeping uncontrollably, "The emperor...how could the emperor not be able to do it? The emperor will surely shine with the sun and the moon, and live forever!"

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Prime Minister, although you are older than me, but now, I am going to walk ahead of you."

"Prime Minister, how do you think I treat you? Does Daqin have something wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty, I'm a commoner, and I'm an official to the position of the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. What can I ask for from my husband? It's all given to me by Your Majesty, how can I be dissatisfied?"

"That's great!" Ying Zheng stared at Li Si and asked, "Prime Minister, who do you think will be the ruler of Qin after a hundred years?"

"I want you to tell the truth, I'm running out of time, this Daqin, after all, I can't rest assured!"

Li Si's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I think that among all the princes, Mr. Fusu should be the first in terms of reputation and talent."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "But Fusu is still too weak after all. I hope this time, the mighty wind of the desert can give him a strong frame."

"Prime Minister, I know that you and Fusu have always been at odds, and Fusu's succession to the throne is not of much benefit to you. However, I hope that you can help me this last time."

"I have followed His Majesty for more than 20 years, and I understand His Majesty's wishes, and I understand..." Li Si was sobbing more and more at this time.

From a small official guarding the warehouse in Shangcai back then to today's prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, Li Si is not only an improvement in status, but also the process of getting to know each other over the past 20 years.

Therefore, for Ying Zheng, this emotion has already surpassed the ordinary relationship between a monarch and his ministers.

"With you assisting and helping Su, our Great Qin will have nothing to worry about!"

"Your Majesty..." Li Si wanted to say something more.

At this time, Han Tan walked to the side at the right time and said, "Prime Minister, let Your Majesty rest first." He led Li Si out of the door.

Seeing Meng Yi standing outside the door, Li Si knew that the content of the conversation between the emperor and them was the same, they were all to help Su find a powerful assistant to help him inherit the throne.

But this time, without Prime Minister Feng Quji alone, it is quite interesting!
