Suddenly hearing about the longevity medicine, the originally terminally ill Qin Shi Huang seemed to have woken up from a dream and sat up straight.
"Long... Longevity medicine…Longevity medicine?" Qin Shihuang's voice rang out in disbelief. "Your Majesty, Xu Fu's old subordinates claimed to have obtained the longevity medicine." Li You hurriedly said.”
"Where is the longevity medicine now?" Shi Huang revealed a happy expression and quickly asked.
"Your Majesty, Baizhan's armored soldiers were escorting the longevity medicine to the palace, but they were intercepted by an unknown army on the way. The situation is very dangerous now!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes turned red." Go, go and get my longevity medicine back!"”
Seeing this, Zhang Han strode forward." Your Majesty, I will personally bring people to retrieve the medicine!”
"Hurry up and go!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Han nodded and turned around to leave the palace. A moment later, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the palace.
At this moment, a smile appeared on Zhao Gao's face.
"You... What are you laughing at?" The First Emperor saw the smile on Zhao Gao's face and questioned him. Zhao Gao shook his head and remained silent. However, his smile became even more obvious and unrestrained.
"Your Majesty, you haven't finished your decree.”Zhao Gao suddenly reminded Ying Zheng.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, hesitated for a moment, but finally said,""I have decided to appoint a young master…He appointed Young Master Fusu as the Crown Prince! After I leave, I will inherit the Great Qin Empire.”
This sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
After saying that, the First Emperor collapsed on the couch again.
At this moment, Zhao Gao raised his head and puffed out his chest, showing his previous humble expression. He glanced at everyone in the palace and suddenly burst into tears.
"Your Majesty…His Majesty is dead!"
Boom! Zhao Gao's words were like thunder, exploding in the ears of the First Emperor.
"You... You!" Qin Shi Huang stared at Zhao Gao with disbelief in his eyes.
Zhao Gao came to the bed and whispered into the Emperor's ear,"
"Your Majesty, there is no such thing as an immortal medicine in this world. The news is false.”
Then, he stood up and went to Prime Minister Li Si's side.
"Puff!" On the couch, the First Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood and then died.
"His Majesty is dead!" Zhao Gao shouted again. At this moment, all the servants and palace maids in the palace knelt on the ground.
All the servants began to wail loudly. The earth-shaking cries immediately came from the palace.
Li Si was in a daze as he looked at the decree he had just drafted.
Zhao Gao walked to Li Si and took a look at the decree before shaking his head. When he saw the words 'Fu Su' inside, he felt that it was extremely dazzling!
From this moment on, Zhao Gao no longer needed to hide anything! He recalled how Fu Su had despised him and how the Meng family had almost killed him…
Zhao Gao's eyes twisted as he screamed,""Men!"
Hualala!
A group of soldiers ran into the palace. Zhao Gao nodded at the lieutenants and then pointed at the attendants and palace maids.
"Drag them all away!"
This lieutenant was Zhao Gao's confidant, so Zhao Gao believed that he would understand what he meant!
"Wuwuwu…Sir! Lord Zhao! No!"
"Ah! Lord Zhao, sob sob!"
" Sir, please spare my life!!"
“……”
Instantly, the entire palace was filled with cries and cries.
These palace maids and maids often accompanied him in the palace, so how could they not understand what Zhao Gao was going to do? The armored soldiers did not say a word. They unsheathed their swords and placed them on everyone's necks.
Not long after, as the cries faded away, miserable screams rang out, and the entire world instantly fell silent.
At this moment, there were only Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Huhai in the palace. Of course, there was also the Emperor Ying Zheng, whose life and death were unknown.
Zhao Gao picked up the decree again and frowned."Why isn't there a clear name for the young master to be the crown prince in His Majesty's decree?”
Pausing for a moment, Zhao Gao seemed to be studying the decree word by word, and then he said,"Everyone in the court knows that His Majesty doesn't like Young Master Fusu. Moreover, he chased Young Master Fusu out of Xianyang before the eastern tour…In my opinion, His Majesty has no intention of making Young Master Fu Su the Crown Prince!”
Then, Zhao Gao looked at Li Si meaningfully and said,""Lord Prime Minister…Don't you think so?"
Li Si lowered his brows and pondered. He did not answer immediately because he was not as calm as he appeared to be.
Zhao Gao saw that Li Si was still unwilling to speak. Zhao Gao's mind raced, and he continued in a half-warning and half-threatening tone,"
"Prime Minister, think about it! If Young Master Fu Su succeeds the throne, what will you and your Li family face? What would happen? However, if Young Master Huhai succeeds to the throne, then it will be different. At that time, your Li family will definitely rest with the country!”
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he winked at the stunned Huhai! Huhai quivered and immediately went up to Li Si.""Prime Minister! I swear! If I can ascend to the throne, not only will I put Lord Li in an important position, but I will also put Lord Li's family in an important position!”
Normally, Li Siwan wouldn't lose his mind like this! Because of Ying Zheng's sudden death, Li Si was so upset that he couldn't think of anything.
After Zhao Gao and Huhai's combined punch, Li Si was still defeated.
"So... In that case, this decree was indeed a little inappropriate!”
Seeing Li Si agree, Zhao Gao was delighted.
Now that the First Emperor had passed away, the shadow that had been shrouding his heart for many years was no longer there. Therefore, at this moment, all his attention was placed on how to let Huhai succeed the throne and tamper with the First Emperor's will.
If Young Master Huhai succeeded to the throne, he would become the most powerful person in Great Qin.
Zhao Gao's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said,"
"Lord Li! Letting Fu Su ascend the throne is really not good for you and me! However, it would be different if it was Young Master Huhai. At that time, the entire Great Qin Imperial Court would definitely follow the Prime Minister's lead!”
Huhai nodded and looked at Li Si sincerely! Li Si knew what would happen if Fu Su became the Emperor.
He had different ideologies from Fusu. The best outcome was to retire and return home, never to interfere with the matters of the court again, but this was not what Li Si wanted.
After making up his mind, Li Si slowly picked up the brush under the excited gazes of Zhao Gao and Huhai. He dipped the brush in ink and touched the decree.
"Young Master Fusu is too pedantic and contradicts the Great Qin's national policy…He ordered Fusu Yongsheng to guard the north of the desert. Without the king's edict, he could not go south!”
" Young Master Huhai is intelligent, just like me…I will appoint Young Master Huhai as the Crown Prince. I hope that all the ministers and ministers will assist him wholeheartedly…"
Li Si stopped writing, and Zhao Gao snatched the posthumous edict that was still wet!
"Good, good, good!" At this moment, Zhao Gao's face was flushed red. His gaze was wandering around the imperial edict as if he was looking at some peerless treasure!
The south gate of the sand dune palace!
At this moment, Ying Zichu was dressed in black armor and holding the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear. He wore a white helmet and white armor and held a bright silver spear.
The Qin soldiers guarding the gate immediately became alert.
"Who are you? Quickly dismount!"
Ying Ziyu coldly harrumphed," I'm Great Qin's Ninth Young Master, Ying Ziyu. Get out of the way quickly. Anyone who blocks me will die!”
