"Father, is Young Master suffering from hysteria? His Majesty had already passed away. What did he mean by that?”Wang Ben looked at Wang Jian with confusion.
"Hysteria? Not necessarily. The Young Master was very loyal to the Emperor. If the Emperor really had a decree, he would carry it out regardless of whether it was true or false. However, all of this was based on the premise that the Emperor really passed away. There must be a reason why the Young Master and Meng Tian dared to return.”
"The biggest reason is that His Majesty might not be dead yet. Everything is a trap. Ben 'er, be prepared. If there's any movement, capture Zhao Gao and Li Si's henchmen immediately.”Wang Jian replied after hearing Wang Ben's words.
"Yes." Wang Ben was excited to hear Wang Jian's speculation.
Other than Wang Jian, many of the officials had also guessed some things. The expressions of many of Zhao Gao and Li Si's henchmen changed drastically.
However, Zhao Gao and Li Si, who were the instigators, had extremely calm expressions.
On the day of Ying Zheng's death, he and Li Si had already checked over and over again, and found that Ying Zheng had really passed away. If they were not sure, how could they dare to pass on a false imperial edict?
"Young Master Fusu, His Majesty has already passed away. You don't have to spout nonsense.”Zhao Gao looked at Fu Su and smiled contemptuously.
"Nonsense? I don't think this is nonsense.”
Suddenly, a domineering voice came from Ying Zheng's coffin.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Gaoli, Li Si, and Huhai were terrified.
Ying Zheng's voice was so familiar to them that they couldn't be more familiar with it. This voice was definitely Ying Zheng's.
Zhao Gao and Li Si's henchmen were so scared that they sat on the ground.
Ying Zheng did not die. What did this mean? It meant that their every move was under Ying Zheng's surveillance, and every single one of their moves was a grave crime that could lead to the extermination of their families. They were finished, and so were the families behind them.
As for those who did not join Huhai's side, hearing Ying Zheng's voice, they were all overjoyed.
"Welcome, Your Majesty."
Following which, under Wang Jian's lead, everyone respectfully bowed towards the coffin.
Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Huhai also knelt down in front of the coffin.
"Zhao Gao, Li Si, you're harming me.”Huhai kneeled down and looked at Li Si and Zhao Gao.
Li Si and Zhao Gao were also in despair when they heard Huhai's words.
Li Si, in particular, looked at Zhao Gao with an extremely fierce gaze.
Everything was because of Zhao Gao. He had wanted to follow Ying Zheng's orders, but Zhao Gao's bewitchment had made him commit a grave mistake.
But soon, Li Si's viciousness dissipated.
Because he still did such a treasonous thing in the end. Zhao Gao was just a catalyst. If he didn't agree, could Zhao Gao force him to agree? In the end, it was still a matter of power.
…………
"Bang!"
After everyone knelt down, a loud bang suddenly rang out from Ying Zheng's coffin, and the coffin lid flew out. After that, Ying Zheng, who was wearing a black dragon robe and filled with a strong emperor's might, stood in the void.
Standing in the air, Ying Zheng swept his gaze across all the people kneeling on the ground.
When Ying Zheng turned his gaze to those henchmen of Zhao Gao and Li Si, some of them who were timid were actually scared to death.
One had to know that those who were qualified to stand here were all elites of the current era. The weakest ones were all at the Xiantian realm, and there were even quite a few grandmasters.
A man with such a cultivation base was actually scared to death by Ying Zheng, which showed how terrifying Ying Zheng's majesty was.
In the end, Ying Zheng's gaze stopped on Huhai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si.
"Father, Father, it was Zhao Gao and Li Si who bewitched me. I was forced to do so. I don't know anything. Please forgive me.”
Seeing Ying Zheng's eyes, Huhai kept kowtowing to Ying Zheng.
"Fusu, take Huhai away. From now on, the Ying family will be destroyed and there will be no Huhai.”Hearing Huhai's words, Ying Zheng said coldly to Fu Su.
"Father, don't. It's all Zhao Gao and Li Si's fault. It has nothing to do with me.”Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Huhai was so frightened that he started crying. He kept crying and wailing at Ying Zheng.
"Fusu, what are you waiting for? Take him away.”Hearing Huhai's words, Ying Zheng became even angrier.
If Huhai had fought for the throne on his own, he would not have been angry even if he had killed Fu Su, just like what was recorded in the annals of history. This was because the struggle for power was cruel to begin with. However, Huhai had been manipulated like a puppet. This was simply a disgrace to him. How could he not be angry?
"Yes, sir." This time, when Fu Su heard Ying Zheng's words, he immediately accepted the order and took away Huhai, who was crying and begging for mercy.
Seeing Huhai being taken away, Zhao Gao and Li Si's hearts sank.
"Do the two of you have nothing to say to me?”Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and Zhao Gao and said lightly.
"Your Majesty, I know that I've committed treason and heinous crimes. I have nothing else to say. I beg Your Majesty to grant me my death. I also hope that Your Majesty can forgive Li Si's family on account of Li Si's many years of assistance.”Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Si straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, Li Si has committed treason and heresy. Even though he has made great contributions to Great Qin, this does not mean that he can be exonerated from his crimes. His entire family has to be exterminated, or else, if someone tries to do the same in the future, as long as he has made great contributions, will he be safe?”
"If you really want to count the merits, with this old minister's merits, wouldn't it be fine even if they rebelled? Even if they failed, would they only kill this old minister?”After Li Si finished speaking, Wang Jian immediately shouted at Ying Zheng.
