Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 166 Death of the First Emperor

Listening to the scout's words, Xiang Yu appeared to be calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

"Is it finally time to destroy Qin?" Xiang Yu thought to himself.

At the army camp in the north of Jiuyuan County, Meng Tian and his eldest son Fusu also received a secret report from the scouts.

After Fusu followed Ying Zhengdong to Xianyang last time, he was transferred to the northern army to serve as the supervisor of the army.By the way, Ying Zheng also wanted him to establish a good relationship with Meng Tian and prepare for taking over the world in the future.

The two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi knew about it, so they also maintained a good relationship with Fu Su.

"Young Master, I think you should go to His Majesty in writing! Ask to serve His Majesty, so as to stay by Your Majesty's side in case there is any change." Meng Tian advised Fu Su.

"Yes! Young Master! The last general also thinks that he should follow what the general said!" Su Jiao said after Meng Tian finished speaking.

Shejian at the side, Wang Li who had just become a general, Captain Yang Xiong and others all nodded in agreement.

In the commander's tent, the generals of the entire Northern Legion gathered.These people all support Fusu as the next emperor of Qin, because they feel that only Fusu can make the world of Great Qin go in a more prosperous direction!

"In my opinion, the father is just a minor illness and nothing to worry about. Without his will, I'd better not go!" After hearing this, Fusu shook his head and refused.

Seeing such Fusu, Meng Tian felt a little choked up in his heart.Originally a heir to the empire, he lost confidence because his father transferred him to the north to take charge of the army.This made Meng Tian look at the south, thinking in his heart: "Your Majesty! What you did back then, is it right or wrong!"

Fusu and others still stationed troops in Jiuyuan and other places, strictly guarding the Great Wall to prevent the Huns from invading south.

The situation on the prairie is changing. Mo Ernan fought against Modu, and the blood of the Southern Huns and Northern Huns cavalry dyed the battle ground red.In the end, Mo Dun defeated Mo Ernan with a slight advantage.

After Rongtur's defeat in the Mornan War, he established an alliance between the Western Huns and the Eastern Hu on his own.Then, Modun took the opportunity to attack the tribes of the Southern Huns and killed all those who did not surrender.The southern Xiongnu tribes that had not yet been attacked surrendered to him one after another!
Mo Ernan, who was betrayed by all relatives, died of serious injuries in the end, and his son felt that he could not compare with Mao Dun and led his troops to surrender.Due to too much pressure, Rongtuer took the initiative to join Donghu and become Donghu's Eastern King.In name, Modu reunified the central grasslands and gathered the power of the entire Huns.However, he does not have the strength of his father Toumanshi, and only less than 30 cavalry are still in his hands; all the tribes under him can gather more than [-] people who control Hong.

The rapid unification of the Xiongnu surprised Meng Tian and King Shu Nanting of the Dayue Clan. Neither of them expected that the Xiongnu could be unified so quickly.After Meng Tian received the news of the unification of the Huns, he ordered all the Qin troops outside the Great Wall to take back the entire line of the Great Wall and hand over the occupied grasslands to the Dayuezhi Kingdom.

Shu Nanting didn't dare to pick up this hot potato, so he ignored the original area of ​​the Xiongnu Khan Court.And Maodun was also afraid that the capture of this place would cause a joint attack by Da Yuezhi and Daqin, and soon the Hanting area became a no-regret zone.

The wind was howling, and the east tour team that had rushed back to Xianyang because of Yingzheng's health was speeding forward.

Ying Zheng on the Luanjia couldn't keep his eyes open, he couldn't wait to go back to Xianyang and return to his palace.Since Ying Zheng fell ill, he thought a lot and felt that he had done too many wrong things in the past.Then he considered the issue of his successor, and after thinking about it, among his children, only Fusu could inherit his position and lead the empire forward.Today's Yingzheng no longer has the idea that he wanted the Great Qin to prosper forever and be passed down forever.He just wants to let the country he has won with great difficulty pass on smoothly, as for the rest, he will do his best.

"Zhao Gao! Xu Fu and the others haven't come back yet?" Ying Zheng was very weak and Zhao Gao who was serving in the car asked.

"Your Majesty! The captain of the navy, Xiang Yu, hasn't sent any news yet, so he must have not returned!" Zhao Gao replied very respectfully.

"Do you think it's right or wrong for me to pursue longevity?" Ying Zheng asked suddenly after listening for a long time in silence.

"Your Majesty's decision is naturally correct!" Zhao Gao didn't dare to speak nonsense, so he could only answer according to Ying Zheng's intention.

"You don't dare to speak anymore! You are afraid of me and dare not tell the truth!" Ying Zheng smiled sadly, talking to himself in a still weak voice. "Since I seized the world and became the emperor, Li Si has changed! The old general Wang Jian has changed! Everyone has changed! Everyone has become more cautious, and they dare not breathe loudly in front of me. Little do you know, how much I wish you would still be the same as before. .”

"Hahaha!" Suddenly Ying Zheng laughed, and then said: "What's the use of talking so much?" After speaking, he fell silent.

Seeing Ying Zheng like this, Zhao Gao knew that his life had come to an end.Don't dare to say anything, after all, if the emperor dies, he will lose his greatest support.

"Zhao Gao! Draw up the decree!" Ying Zheng, for some reason, suddenly seemed to gain strength and ordered to Zhao Gao who was kneeling.

"Here!" Zhao Gao didn't dare to neglect and immediately walked to the table.

"The eldest son of the emperor, Fusu, is honest and honest... he is specially established as the crown prince... After my death, he will succeed to the position of emperor!"

Hearing what Ying Zheng said, Zhao Gao was a little confused.Fusu is a gentleman, but he himself is a villain.If Fusu is allowed to succeed him, then he will be the first one to tidy up. Looking at Yingzheng sitting on the bed, Zhao Gao was careful not to write the five characters of Fusu, the eldest son of the emperor, and left an empty seat for waiting. .

"Draft a few more!" After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he continued.

"Here!"

"Che Ting, Lieutenant of the State.....to become Grand Master.....to be Marquis of Guan Nei!"

"Admiral Meng Tian, ​​won my heart, brave and good at fighting...……………………………… Specially appointed as a national lieutenant...……………… need a good life to assist the second emperor!"

"Meng Yi, Li Si, Meng Tian……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………"

What Ying Zheng said next made Zhao Gao's heart shudder even more.

"The two brothers, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, have always been at odds with me. Now that the emperor wants them to become auxiliary ministers, wouldn't he die a miserable death in the future?" Zhao Gao thought in his heart.

He made up his mind and was going to ask Ying Zheng to intercede for him. At least he would also get into the assistant minister to avoid future disasters.Unexpectedly, looking at the bed at this moment, Ying Zheng had already closed his eyes.

Zhao Gao called out several times in a low voice, but Ying Zheng didn't respond.At this time, he also became more courageous, walked over to check his breath and found that Ying Zheng was already out of breath.Immediately frightened, it took a long time to recover and felt that it was an opportunity.He quickly sent someone to invite Prime Minister Li Si and his accompanying son Hu Hai.
