"Ah?"
When Li Si heard that, he immediately gasped and looked shocked. He looked around and swallowed before saying to Zhao Gao," Lord Zhao, what do you mean? His Majesty's will has been issued. If you and I don't obey it, it will be treason! Li Si was originally from a humble background, but thanks to the Emperor's promotion, he was able to have his status today. The emperor wants to appoint a young master and let us assist him. How can we let down the emperor's grace?!”
"Prime Minister, there's no need to be like this. If you're willing to give up your talent and wealth to be the meat of the Meng brothers, then I, Zhao Gao, won't say anything!”
Seeing Li Si fall into deep thought, Zhao Gao immediately said," The Prime Minister is a smart person. Fusu is His Majesty's son, and so is Huhai. Fu Su is close to Meng Tian and Meng Yi, but His Highness Huhai is your student. Can you die well after setting up Fusu? With Huhai, you will be below one person and above tens of thousands of people. You will enjoy glory and wealth forever! With the Prime Minister's intelligence, how could he not know?”
Li Si fell into deep thought when he heard Zhao Gao's words.
After a long while, Li Si took a deep breath and nodded." Alright, we're doing this for Great Qin! This matter is between the heavens and the earth!”
"That's right. Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know!”
When Zhao Gao heard this, he beamed with joy." That's right! I think the Prime Minister must have seen it clearly! "However, Prime Minister, you have to think better. Even if you don't support Fu Su, with the power and ability of Fu Su and the Meng brothers, you and I will still have a hard time in the future!”
"You mean…"
"Just in case!"
Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes and said darkly," Isn't it too lonely for Your Majesty to go to hell alone? Since Fusu is a filial son and the Meng brothers are very loyal…"
"You mean…"
Li Si gasped when he heard that.
"Prime Minister…"
Zhao Gao said coldly," Do you want to leave any future trouble?”
A future threat?
Li Si's throat trembled when he heard that. After a long while, he finally said," It's all up to Lord Zhao's arrangements!”
"Hehe, that's right!"
Zhao Gao smiled." If we join hands, what's there to worry about?”
Zhao Gao took out the jade seal and worked with Li Si to draft the edict.
"Men!"
Zhao Gao took out two edicts and brought Li Si outside the tent.
"Lord Prime Minister, Lord Commander of the Central Carriage Prefecture…"
"Immediately arrange for people to quickly whip this edict to Shangjun and hand it to Eldest Young Master Fusu.”
Zhao Gao handed the edict to one of his trusted aides." Remember, you must get Fu Su and Meng Tian to act according to the contents of the edict! You have to see them do what they're told, do you understand?”
After saying that, his eyes flashed. When the trusted aide heard this, he immediately nodded, took the imperial edict, and left with his men.
"There's another posthumous edict here!"
Zhao Gao said," I'll have to trouble you, Prime Minister, to gather all the officials and announce it in the palace!”
With that, he handed the posthumous edict to Li Si.
Li Si took it, his hands trembling.
Zhao Gao secretly glanced at him, and Li Si regained his composure. He said," Call all the officials who are accompanying us here immediately!”
"Yes!"
Soon, the officials arrived at a palace in the palace.
"Lord Zhao, Lord Prime Minister, why did you call us over?”
"To be honest, everyone…"
Zhao Gao looked around and said," His Majesty has passed away!”
What was that?
"Your Majesty…Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"
Hearing Zhao Gao's words, the ministers panicked and many of them cried out loud.
They cried and shook the world.
"Everyone! Everyone! Don't cry!"
Zhao Gao waved his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet." His Majesty still has the posthumous edict. All of you have to listen to His Majesty's will first!”
"Lord Zhao is right…"
"Lord Zhao and Lord Prime Minister, please read out your will!”
"Alright."
Li Si calmed himself down before opening the edict. He said slowly," On the seventh day of the sixth month in the 36th year of the First Emperor's reign, I suddenly felt unwell. I think it was because of my many years of hard work. The ancestors took pity on me and let me not work hard anymore. Although I have fled, I will not abandon the Great Qin Dynasty. The eldest son Fusu has always contradicted me and does not conform to my wishes. The second son Hu Hai is kind and intelligent, just like my shadow. I rely on him very much. Therefore, Hu Hai is appointed as the new monarch to inherit my will! You can't have any rebellious heart. You must bow down and help me. I will be at ease in the underworld! If any of them dared to have evil intentions, order Zhao Gao and Li Si to punish them severely!”
After the edict was read, everyone was in an uproar!
What was that?
The First Emperor was actually going to make his youngest son Huhai the Emperor?
Almost everyone thought that the successor would definitely be Eldest Young Master Fu Su!
"Lord Zhao, Lord Prime Minister…"
A civil official asked with a grave expression," His Majesty said that he wants to appoint the Second Young Master, Young Master Huhai, as the new ruler? However, hadn't the Emperor always thought highly of the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su?”
"Bastard!"
Zhao Gao's expression changed when he heard that. He cursed angrily," What do you mean? The Emperor had made it clear that Fu Susu had contradicted the Emperor, and the Emperor was furious. That was why he had sent him to Shangjun! How could such a person fit His Majesty's wishes and become the new ruler of Great Qin? Second Young Master Huhai is intelligent and kind, and is the most suitable choice for His Majesty! Are you questioning His Majesty?”
"I wouldn't dare…"
"Milords, the Prime Minister and I heard His Majesty's last words with our own ears. We dare not miss anything!”
Zhao Gao shouted," My lords, you must follow His Majesty's last words and assist the new ruler with peace of mind. If anyone disobeys, they will be punished for deceiving the ruler and rebelling!”
As he spoke, he looked around and said coldly," Is there anyone who's not convinced?”
"I'm not convinced! Can I?"
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, he heard a voice. Zhao Gao was annoyed and drew his sword." Who is not convinced?" Stand out!"
However, it seemed that in his hurry, he did not hear clearly who this familiar voice belonged to!
Creak!
The door was pushed open and a figure walked in!
