Hearing this name, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Feng Quji were not surprised at all.
Clearly, Zhao Tuo had talked to them about this before.
Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head.
"This is impossible. According to the laws of Great Qin, the throne should be inherited by the eldest son.”
"Even if the one who inherits the throne is not Fusu, the youngest Huhai will not inherit the throne.”
"Oh…is that so?"
Zhao Tuo played with the jade pendant in his hand and revealed a meaningful smile.
"What if…before my father dies, he drafts a decree to pass the throne to Huhai?”
"That's fine. The world belongs to me, and I naturally have the final say on who the throne will be passed to…before today.”
"However, although Huhai is unusually smart and proficient in the law, he is mischievous by nature. I will definitely not pass the throne to him.”
"Ha…"
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Tuo laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at Imperial Father for thinking too naively. Imperial Father, do you still remember why I asked Minister Meng and the others to come here today?”
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then answered,""I remember you saying that it was because of Zhao Gao and Minister Li?”
"That's right!" Zhao Tuo nodded.
"They are the people who followed Imperial Father out on an inspection tour. If Imperial Father had any accidents on the road, they would be the only two people who knew Imperial Father's edict.”
"Tuo 'er means…"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but then shook his head.
"No, this is just your speculation.”
Zhao Tuo smiled and did not explain much. Instead, he suggested, Father, I have a plan…"
……
……
Outside Xianyang City, a large group of people and carriages were already waiting at the entrance.
Zhao Gao and Li Si stood at the side with their hands behind their backs, chatting about something.
"Lord Li, what do you think is going on? It's already been two hours. Why hasn't His Majesty come out yet?”
Li Si shook his head.
"Just now, I heard from the people below that there was some chaos in the palace. Perhaps there was some other situation.”
Zhao Gao nodded slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Huhai, who was reprimanding the palace maid.
"Who told you to put my things in the carriage?”
"Carry all of them on my back! Otherwise, what do I need? Do I have to wait for you to go and look for it?”
"But Young Master, this is too…"
"Too what? Too heavy? Do you believe that when Imperial Father comes later, this Young Master will make Imperial Father order you to carry the green stone slab on your back!”
" Young Master, please spare me…"
"Humph…"
"Huhai!"
Zhao Gao walked to Huhai and glared at the palace maid.
"As a servant, do whatever the young master tells you to do. Who do you think your lives belong to?”
"The people of Wangyi Palace still don't know manners after so many years. Scram!”
Waving his hand to dismiss the palace maids, Zhao Gao looked at Huhai and whispered,""Huhai, this trip is a good opportunity. When the time comes, you will be the only son by His Majesty's side. You must seize the opportunity to curry favor with His Majesty!”
Huhai nodded obediently.
However, he was a little hesitant."Teacher, I am the youngest among all my brothers. I'm afraid that no matter how much my father loves me, I…"
"Hey, you don't have to worry about that."
"Your father is already very old. It's not impossible for something to happen to him." Zhao Gao smiled sinisterly.”
"Especially this time, if there's no hope of finding immortals, His Majesty will definitely consume a large number of pills. Those pills are not good things!”
"If anything happens on the way, His Majesty will only have you, me, and Li Si by his side.”
"At that time, I have many methods…to let you ascend to the rank 9 dragon stage!”
If Zhao Gao's words were to be heard outside, they would definitely turn pale with fright.
However, Huhai was excited.
"Really? Don't worry, teacher. If you can help Huhai seize the throne, Huhai will never forget teacher's kindness!”
"I believe you, hahahaha!”
At this moment, Li Si walked over.
"Manor Lord Zhao, Little Lord, what are you talking about? Why are you so happy?”
Zhao Gao rolled his eyes and laughed,"It's nothing; we're just talking about how Great Qin has been able to achieve such a grand occasion under the Legalism Faction's rule. We're just happy.”
"It's just a pity…"
"What's a pity?" Li Si asked curiously.
Zhao Gao sighed.
"It's just a pity that after Eldest Young Master Fusu, Great Qin will have to respect the Confucians.”
"As for you, Minister Li, as a member of the Legalism School, you often offended the Eldest Young Master because of your disagreement.”
"I'm afraid…Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Li Si's face darkened when he heard Zhao Gao mention this.
How could he not know about this?
The matter of Fu Su's succession had been a thorn in his throat for many years.
But what could he do?
The Eldest Young Master's succession to the throne was the legitimate line of the royal family. As a subject of Great Qin and a member of the Legalism family, he had to respect the law.
He could only say that…he would take one step at a time.
Zhao Gao smiled when he saw Li Si's gloomy face.
He did not say anything else.
For some things, as long as one planted a seed, the rest would slowly germinate on their own.
As the three of them chatted, a group of black-armored Imperial Army soldiers suddenly galloped over, their faces filled with fear.
"Phew!"
As a cloud of dust swept past, Zhao Gao and the other two patted the dust off their bodies with ugly expressions.
"How can you be so rude in such a hurry?”
The leader of the black-armored imperial soldiers ignored the young master's curses and dismounted, running quickly to Zhao Gao and Li Si.
"Lord Li! Lord Zhao! Please return to the palace quickly!"
"His Majesty suddenly fell ill! I can't take it anymore!"
