Due to his underestimation of Huhai and his control over Great Qin, Zhao Gao had thought that he would be able to use the horse to completely dominate the entire country.
However, he didn't expect that even with the Imperial Guards, they wouldn't be a match for Ying Fei. Thirty thousand Imperial Guards were as strong as the Iron Eagle Warriors. How mighty was that!
In the blink of an eye, the most powerful official in the world died in Xianyang Palace. His body was chopped up and fed to the dogs, and his head was hung on the city wall to warn the world.
The entire Xianyang Palace was covered in blood. Ying Fei didn't order anyone to clean up the blood. He only dragged the corpses away. The civil and military officials looked at each other.
The officials who stayed behind were all diehard fans of Great Qin. Even if Zhao Gao forced them to question him, they did not lower their heads, so they were not implicated.
However, the sudden attack of the twentieth son of Emperor Yong, Ying Fei, shocked everyone. He moved like thunder and was ruthless, not inferior to the First Emperor.
"Uncle Wang, this is the decree left behind by Imperial Father. You will personally read it out to the ministers!”
"Yes!" Ziying, who hadn't recovered from his joy, received the Emperor Shi's decree from Ying Fei's hands in a daze.
When he opened it, the joy on his face turned into shock. It was actually like this. No wonder Young Master Fei was conferred the title of Lord Yong when he was only seven years old, guarding the ancestral land.
"The First Emperor issued an edict saying: If there is any change in Qin, let Gongzi Fei succeed the throne!”
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The officials in Xianyang Palace didn't hesitate and bowed to Ying Fei.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The Yulin Royal Guards led by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, as well as the surrendered Imperial Guards, all knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Qin Shi Huang's sword, Tianwen, was in Ying Fei's hands. He had killed the rebels, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and eliminated all his followers. Now that he had received Qin Shi Huang's decree, Ying Fei was the rightful Qin Emperor. Who would dare to disobey?
As for whether the decree was correct or not, no one present doubted it.
This was because when King Wu of Qin, Ying Feiding, died, the mother of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Empress Dowager Xuan, supported Ying Ji to succeed the throne with the will of King Huiwen of Qin. This was a precedent in Qin.
"I've finally taken this step!"
Looking down at the ministers, Ying Fei heard the cheers and did not feel happy at all. What awaited him was a chaotic battle and a heavily damaged Great Qin.
.........
"Pass down my decree. I order Ziying to be the commander of Xianyang. Close all the gates of Xianyang, gather the guards, and kill the remaining Zhao Gao in the city. No one is allowed to escape.”
"Yes!" Even though Ziying was quite happy because there was still hope for Great Qin, he understood that this was not the time to be happy. The most important thing now was to kill Zhao Gao's remaining forces. "Huo Qubing, you will be the doctor and take over the palace guards. Wei Qing, you will be the guard and take over the palace guards.”
"Yes!" Huo Qubing and Wei Qing immediately left.
Even though Huhai and Zhao Gao were dead, they were not the only ones in the world. The nobles of the six states were always hoping for the destruction of Qin.
In this huge Xianyang Palace, Ying Fei couldn't guarantee when an assassin would suddenly appear and attack him. Therefore, the guards inside and outside the palace had to be handed over to his most trusted palace guards.
After seeing Ziying, Huo Qubing, and Wei Qing leave, Ying Fei looked back at the palace and looked around, his cold gaze lingering on the Great Qin officials.
This scrutiny caused everyone present to tremble because they had also nodded in agreement with the farce of calling a deer a horse.
"Your Majesty, please punish us for the death penalty!”
At that moment, all the Qin ministers in the hall were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy. They were afraid that Ying Fei would kill them in a fit of anger.
"All of you, get up. Today's matter is not your fault. I can forget about the past, but this dilapidated court still needs you to clean up. Those who violate it will be killed without mercy! Do you understand?" Ying Fei said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Just like that, the incident that concerned the fate of the Great Qin Empire calmed down. However, Ying Fei knew that things were far from over.
Zhao Gao was only one of the reasons; the ones that caused Great Qin to fall apart were the six countries 'nobles who were ready to make trouble.
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Daze Village's uprising had sounded the horn of anti-Qin, but they were just pitiful creatures pushed out by others.
In just three years, the six states of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei had all been restored, and the flames of war had spread throughout the east of the country.
Only Beidi, Shangjun, Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, and Bashu were left. Hedong, Sanchuan, Shangdang, Hanoi, and Nanyang were still under the control of the Qin army.
If Wang Li and Zhang Han's 100,000 Northern Army and 300,000 Punisher Army were defeated, then Xiang Yu's Chu Army would march straight in, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
As such, he had to think of a countermeasure before the battle at Julu and before Liu Bangbing entered Wu Pass. He had to reverse the situation and save Great Qin from defeat. Otherwise, everything would be useless.
Even though dark clouds were gathering above his head, Ying Fei's heart was still bright and sunny.
The end of the Qin Dynasty was the most prosperous beginning in China's 5,000-year history. Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, Xiang Yu, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang were all on the same stage.
Naturally, he would not admit defeat so easily. If he did not compete with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, how could he be called the Qin Emperor?
When he thought of this, Ying Fei suddenly felt a boundless sense of pride. He soared into the sky and opened up a crack in the haze that shrouded his heart.
