The king of Qin ruled for thirty-seven years. 210 B.C.
Handan County, Sand Dune Palace.
In a side hall.
"Wu Ling's hatred is full of sand dunes, and the Zhao family's heroic name is over!”
Ying Zilie looked at the bright moon in the sky and felt something.
It had been five years since he had transmigrated to Great Qin.
Five years!
Hiding one's strength and biding one's time was all to wait for an opportunity!
A chance to ascend to the throne!
Right now, the First Emperor Ying Zheng was on his fifth tour of the world.
The development of the matter was also completely in accordance with the prediction of history. The king of Qin suddenly felt uncomfortable when passing through Pingyuan Jin, so he changed his route back to Xianyang. On the way to the sand dune, he was seriously ill. Unfortunately, the patrol team had to settle down near the sand dune, and the first emperor fell into a coma in the palace.
Zhao Gao and the eighteenth prince Huhai of the Central Carriage Manor had evil thoughts.
If Ying Zilie was not wrong, Zhao Gao and Huhai must be trying to persuade Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, to usurp the throne and kill General Meng Tian and Crown Prince Fu Su, who were stationed at the border of the Great Wall!
Unfortunately!
No matter how much Zhao Gao and Huhai had calculated, they had still missed out on one detail!
They would never have thought that Ying Zilie's forces, capable officials, and capable generals were already the strongest among all the princes!
However, he was the youngest son of the King of Qin. He was twenty-three years old and was only eight years old.
That was why the eldest son, Fu Su, and the eighteenth son, Huhai, never saw him as a rival for the throne.
Even the dying First Emperor Ying Zheng did not know Ying Zilie's true strength and methods!
"The plains and sand dunes are known as the land of the trapped dragon, but I want to soar into the sky here!”
Ying Zilie raised his hand towards the bright moon in the sky!
It was as if he could grab the sun, moon, and stars at any time, and his cry could shock the world!
At this moment.
"Young Empress, everything is ready!"
In the darkness of the side hall, Invincible East appeared beside Ying Zilie and reported respectfully.
"Yes."
Ying Zilie nodded and said,"Let's go to the main hall of the palace!"
Five whole years of preparation, all for today!
The Great Qin Empire, which had fallen two generations ago, needed someone to turn the tide!
Ying Zilie believed that he was the pillar of the Great Qin Empire!
He would definitely inherit Qin Shi Huang's ambition!
He would pass on the Great Qin Empire for thousands of generations!
……
In the camp outside the sand dune palace.
In the tent.
"Alright then…"
Prime Minister Li Si sighed and said,""I will support the 18th prince, I will not go back on my word!”
Zhao Gao, the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, curled the corners of his mouth."The Prime Minister is wise. You must know that Fusu relies heavily on the Confucians and places great importance on General Meng Tian and High Official Meng Yi. However, the eighteenth prince was different. In the future, he would have to rely on the prime minister!”
Fusu, the eldest son of the emperor, was famous for his benevolence and virtue.
The Confucians held Fu Su in high esteem. Furthermore, Fu Su had the support of the military aristocratic families Meng Tian and Meng Yi. If not for the fact that he had angered the First Emperor by mentioning the enfeoffment system, he would have been demoted to the border of the Great Wall to train.
Even if Zhao Gao and Huhai wanted to stir up trouble, they wouldn't be as reckless as they were now, directly looking for Prime Minister Li Si, the head of all officials.
Li Si was smart, but after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to support Huhai.
This was because Li Si was a Legalist. Although he had once studied under Confucianism, his political views were different from Confucianism.
The main reason Li Si chose Huhai was because he was afraid of losing power.
Fu Su heavy Confucianism, heavy ceremony, heavy Meng family.
As long as Fu Su became the King of Qin, Meng Yi would almost certainly replace Li Si as the Prime Minister, and Meng Tian would control the military.
At that time.
Li Si was about to retire.
However, once one had a taste of power, few people could easily let it go.
At the very least, Li Si could not let go of his power as prime minister!
"I will not forget the Prime Minister's contribution to the Dragon!”
Huhai suppressed his excitement and bowed.
Seeing this, Li Si did not dare to be negligent. He quickly bowed and said,""Your Highness is about to become the ruler, and we are his subjects. We dare not violate the etiquette.”
"Hahaha!"
Huhai couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard that. He was so excited just thinking about how he was going to become the King of Qin!
Zhao Gao didn't stop him. He liked how unsophisticated Huhai was.
She thought that…Li Si would like it too.
If the emperor had absolute power, then the eunuchs and officials would be very passive.
If the ruler didn't have any shrewdness and relied on everything, then his power would be scattered and moved down.
First, the imperial power would go through Zhao Gao, then Li Si, and finally the officials and aristocrats!
They were all grasshoppers on the same line.
Those in their positions looked down with smiling faces, and up with their butts.
As long as everything went smoothly.
Zhao Gao and Li Si felt that they would only need to look at Huhai's butt in the future, but they could enjoy the smiles of millions of people in the world. This was the charm of the supreme imperial power.
……
Midnight.
Huhai had already returned to the side hall of the palace to rest.
The members of the Great Qin Imperial Family could live in the palace, while the officials could camp outside.
Zhao Gao was a eunuch who was directly under the First Emperor, so he could accompany him in the palace.
At the same time!
The most important thing was that Zhao Gao could know the condition of the King of Qin's body at the first moment. All the officials needed him to carry out the investigation before they could know the condition of the King of Qin's body.
This information gap was the biggest reason why Zhao Gao succeeded in faking the imperial edict!
At this moment.
Huhai was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. He called two of his trusted eunuchs over.
"I have an extremely important matter for the two of you to do!”
"Your Highness, please give us your orders. We will do our best!”
"Very good!"
Huhai took out a half-foot-long needle from under his pillow and said fiercely,""I want you to nail this needle into my Imperial Father's brain. Do you dare?？”
Plop!
The two eunuchs knelt down and looked at each other in fear!
Nail the First Emperor to death!
Who dared to do so?
"Your Highness, this, this, this…"
"Are you guys going to do it or not?"
Huhai tilted his head slightly, his eyes becoming fiercer!
Without a doubt!
As long as he gave the order, the two eunuchs in front of him would immediately be beheaded!
"Your Highness, should we discuss this matter with the Commander of Zhongche Prefecture?" the two eunuchs asked in a trembling voice.
"I am already the emperor, and my words carry weight. Who do I need to discuss with when doing things?”
Huhai didn't want any more trouble, so he chose to ensure that his father was dead!
As for Zhao Gao and Li Si…
The two of them didn't dare to make such a decision. He could decide it alone!
In the end.
The two eunuchs agreed.
They had no choice.
Whether he did it or not, he would die!
The difference was whether he died earlier or later.
At night.
It was getting deeper and deeper.
The night sky that was originally filled with stars and bright moons was inexplicably covered by dark clouds.
This caused the entire sand dune palace to become dim.
At the side door of the main hall.
"Creak!"
Two eunuchs quietly entered the hall.
They were on duty tonight, which was why Huhai had chosen them to kill the First Emperor without anyone noticing!
"Shh!"
The two eunuchs felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their chests.
They carefully closed the side door and walked toward the First Emperor's bed.
Even if they told him again and again.
The First Emperor was critically ill and had fallen into a coma.
However, the emperor had accumulated his prestige all year round!
The two eunuchs still felt their limbs go weak and their mouths dry.
After all, the person they wanted to assassinate was the one emperor in history!
However, at this point, there was no way for them to turn back.
He had no choice.
They could only look at each other, pluck up their courage, take out their iron needles and hammers, and come to the front of the dragon.
"Gulp!"
When the two eunuchs saw the deathly pale First Emperor, they instinctively swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva!
Intense fear made them tremble!
The might of the past Qin Shi Huang kept appearing in their minds.
No matter how much courage they mustered, it was still difficult for them to move forward at this time!
"No…we can't waste any more time. We have to hurry, otherwise…things will change if we delay!”
After saying that, the leading eunuch took a deep breath, took the small hammer and the half-foot poisonous needle from his companion, and came to the side of the First Emperor's head!
Suddenly!
“……”
The first emperor, Ying Zheng, opened his eyes without a word!
The next moment!
"Ah!"
The two eunuchs screamed.
The small hammer and the half-foot poisonous needle fell to the ground.
The two eunuchs stepped back and knelt down."Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty…"
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, did not say a single word!
He only opened his eyes!
It was enough to make the two villains 'guts break!
"Cough cough!"
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, coughed twice. After he regained his senses, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes!
"Huhai…he actually dared to kill his father!？”
