Late at night, Chu Lushan arrived at Xianyang Palace.
After waiting for an hour, he saw that no more officials entered Xianyang Palace. He knew that those who should have gone had gone and no one would enter again.
"Form the formation!"
Chu Lushan began to pass down his orders.
"Don't alarm the palace guards inside. Hide well. No one comes out from inside. If anyone is discovered, I'll twist their head off!”
The Snowy Dragon Cavalry was indeed the best cavalry in the world. After receiving Chu Lushan's order, they began to move.
In an instant, the originally murderous Snow Dragon Riders seemed to have disappeared, perfectly fusing with the darkness without arousing any suspicion.
Chu Lushan wiped the cold saber in his hand. A ferocious smile appeared on his face as he stared at the saber in his hand excitedly.
"Good brother, you can drink blood to your heart's content again today!”
……
Xianyang Palace, Zhanghua Hall.
All the officials gathered. Whether it was true or not, all of them had sad expressions on their faces. Their eyes were filled with worry for their future.
"His Majesty has passed away. I wonder who the throne will be passed to in the end?”
"Who cares who he passes it to? The imperial edict is in the hands of the Zhongche Emissary. He is the subject of His Majesty's trust. As long as he follows the Zhongche Emissary, his future will definitely be worry-free!”
"It's over. I even wrote a letter to impeach the Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate. What if he takes revenge on me?”
"What else can we do? When today's matter is over, hurry up and prepare a generous gift to apologize for your sins and ask for grace. Otherwise, it's really over!”
"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for your guidance!"
They no longer dared to call Zhao Gao by his name.
This was because they all knew that the person in charge of the Great Qin Empire was not the Emperor, but the Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate.
Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Feng Quji, and Li Si gathered together, but they did not say a word. No one could tell their emotions.
This also made many officials in the court silently agree that the four of them were afraid of Zhao Gao and did not dare to object. They could only silently accept it.
The Eldest Young Master, Fu Su, had a face full of tears. He was crying in grief.
His younger siblings surrounded him and kept consoling him, but they couldn't stop themselves from crying.
The entire Zhanghua Hall was divided into three camps, and it was very orderly and chaotic.
When Ying Wubing entered the main hall, Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian all surrounded him. However, they did not say anything. They just bowed and asked Ying Wubing to express his condolences.
Ying Wubing nodded. He was expressionless and no emotions could be seen. He walked straight to Fu Su and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Seeing this scene, the ministers felt completely at ease.
Looking at Ying Wubing's performance, the First Emperor should really have passed away.
Since Ying Wubing was summoned, he didn't do anything extreme. The research proved that he accepted this fact and recognized Zhao Gao as the entrusted minister to preside over everything.
The general trend had been set, and all that was left was for the dust to settle.
"Young Master Huhai has arrived!"
"The order from the Zhongche Prefecture has arrived!"
The young eunuch shouted. Then, Huhai walked out with Zhao Gao's support.
"Greetings, Young Master Huhai!"
Some of the officials had already begun to bow to Huhai, because in their eyes, Huhai was already the emperor.
Moreover, Zhao Gao was standing behind him, and he held the First Emperor's posthumous edict. He was the only important official entrusted by the First Emperor, and all of Great Qin's power would come from him.
With him and Huhai backing him up, this loyalty was something that would happen sooner or later.
"Sirs, there's no need to be so polite."
Huhai's face was filled with a smug smile. He was looking forward to this feeling of being respected.
He had thought that this day would come, but he didn't know how long it would take.
However, he did not expect to arrive so quickly.
This feeling was really great!
Especially when he saw that Ying Wubing, who had been suppressing him all this time, didn't dare to act rashly even though he didn't bow to him. He tacitly agreed to the actions of the officials.
Huhai was ecstatic.
Li Yanran, that b * tch, still said that she couldn't compare to Ying Wubing.
Now, he was about to become the new emperor of the Great Qin Empire. So what if Ying Wubing was a martial arts celestial?
They were still his subjects!
"Thank you, Young Master Huhai!"
Sensing Huhai suppressing his pride and pretending to be polite, the officials bowed and thanked him.
This scene was extremely obsequious.
Huhai enjoyed it very much. The corners of his eyes drifted to Ying Wubing, observing his reaction. Then, he felt all kinds of pleasure in his heart.
Zhao Gao enjoyed it even more.
He knew very well that the ministers were acting like this because they were afraid of him.
In the past, the only person in the Great Qin Empire who could do this was the First Emperor.
After today, he would be alone!
He, Zhao Gao, had finally reached the height of the First Emperor and achieved the same thing.
This pride and satisfaction made Zhao Gao feel an unprecedented joy in his heart.
He couldn't wait to settle everything and completely stabilize the situation. He wanted to hold this power tightly in his hands.
He originally thought that the biggest stumbling block was Ying Wubing, but now, Ying Wubing's performance showed that he had no intention of stopping him at all.
Zhao Gao was pleased.
It was just as he had guessed.
No matter how powerful he was, he was still a subject of Great Qin.
As long as he stood firm on the righteousness of entrusting an important official to him and held the First Emperor's posthumous edict, even someone as strong as Ying Wubing would have to listen to him.
This feeling was too good.
"Milords, please take a look!"
As Zhao Gao spoke, the young eunuch behind him pulled the cloth curtain and revealed the body of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng. Beside him was an old eunuch who was standing guard silently.
This scene made people sigh.
The First Emperor destroyed the six countries, unified the world, and created the Great Qin Empire. How wise and mighty was he?
But in the end, so what?
After his death, he had lost his power and was only guarded by an ordinary old eunuch.
It looked very desolate.
Before they could continue to feel sorry for the First Emperor, Zhao Gao took out the posthumous edict.
"The Great Qin Empire mourns the death of His Majesty. I, Zhao Gao, am also extremely sad."
"However, before His Majesty died, he entrusted his son with a posthumous edict, asking Zhao Gao to make Young Master Huhai the second Emperor of Great Qin to inherit the throne and revitalize Great Qin!”
"State affairs cannot be abandoned."
"Zhao Gao does not dare to let down His Majesty, the First Emperor, who entrusted him with the task of becoming an orphan. Now, I will begin to read out His Majesty's posthumous edict!”
Zhao Gao opened the posthumous edict and said seriously.
"The First Emperor's posthumous edict!"
"The Eighteenth Son, Hu Hai, is intelligent, benevolent, and has the demeanor of a benevolent ruler. After I, I will appoint Hu Hai as the second emperor of Great Qin!”
"Respect this!"
After Zhao Gao finished reading, the ministers immediately knelt down.
"We will naturally obey the imperial edict and follow the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor!”
Huhai was overjoyed. He was finally sitting on the throne.
However, when he swept his gaze over, he realized that Ying Wubing, Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and even Fu Su had not received the order. Huhai was instantly enraged.
However, he wanted to get angry, but he was afraid of Ying Wubing, so he didn't dare to. He could only look at his master, Zhao Gao, for help.
"Lord Wu 'an, why didn't you bow to the First Emperor's posthumous edict? Do you have any objections?”
Zhao Gao was very clear that the most difficult person to deal with was Ying Wubing.
As long as Ying Wubing admitted defeat, nothing else would work.
Since Ying Wubing had come to this place and did not take any action, it was already tacitly agreeing to this result.
It was just hard to accept for a moment.
It was a good opportunity for him to use this opportunity to give him a way out and also to deter Ying Wubing so that he would not dare to act rashly in front of him in the future.
However, he didn't expect that after Ying Wubing heard his threat, he only revealed a disdainful smile and looked at Zhao Gao playfully.
"I don't have any opinions, but my opinion isn't important. You should go back and ask my father.”
Zhao Gao's entire body trembled, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong. He turned around and was instantly scared stiff.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, who had already passed away, suddenly sat up and glared at him.
"Zhao Gao, how can you face me!"
