209 B.C.
Young Master Manor.
The cold moonlight shone on the earth, and the cold autumn wind seemed a little bleak.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a candle lamp on the table. The candlelight swayed gently in the cold wind.
It made the young man's face pale.
The young man's name was Ying Tian, and he had transmigrated to Great Qin from Blue Star three days ago.
He was quite lucky to become the ninth son of the First Emperor.
"But…this is the year 209 B.C. Brother Zheng is about to die.”
Ying Tian's hand, which was holding the wine cup, was trembling slightly. His face was filled with bitterness.
According to historical records, after Qin Shihuang died, his sons were all killed by Huhai and Zhao Gao. None of them had a good ending.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt as if he could already see himself being killed by Huhai.
"Yesterday, I received news that father led his army out to war a month ago and started his fifth eastern tour. No, I have to chase after him.”
Ying Tian's face was dark and gloomy, and he wanted to point at the sky and curse.
What the f * ck!
It would be good if he transmigrated a few years earlier to extend Brother Zheng's life and be a good second generation heir.
Fortunately, there was still a chance.
In the history books, Qin Shihuang was only seriously injured on the way and did not die.
Instead, Zhao Gao had deliberately delayed the matter and ended up leaving it at that. If he had chased after him now, he might have had a chance of survival.
If Brother Zheng was alive, his life would be better. Otherwise, he would really be finished.
Thinking of this.
Ying Tian couldn't care less, so he decided to leave the Imperial City.
Just as she pushed the door open, she bumped into the person coming towards her.
Aiyo, my head!
Ying Tian rubbed his head in pain.
The other party spoke first.
"Ninth Young Master, something bad has happened. There is news from the sand dune that His Majesty died of illness on the way. Before he died, he left behind his last words and ordered you to take charge of the situation!”
The person was not very old. He wore black armor and held a long sword in his hand.
It was Wang Li.
Wang Li's forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was filled with anxiety as he constantly urged.
"Ah?"
Ying Tian was stunned, and he staggered, almost falling to the ground.
No…
What the f * ck is going on? Is the heavens playing with me?
Although he was a double major in history, he had never been a leader.
The only time he had been a leader in his life was when he was the class monitor in the first grade of elementary school…
Letting the Class President of the 1st Grade take charge of Great Qin was simply ridiculous.
"Young Master, please follow me to the palace. I need you to take charge of the situation.”
Wang Li gritted his teeth, and without caring about anything else, he dragged Ying Tian, who was still standing there in a daze, and jumped into the carriage. Then, he disappeared with a cloud of dust.
The chariot was very fast. In just the time for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the Qilin Palace.
……
The atmosphere in the hall was very oppressive. It was terrifyingly quiet, and no one spoke.
All the officials were gathered here and lined up on both sides.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ying Tian.
Gulp!
Ying Tian stood at the door, looking at the civil and military officials, and secretly gulped.
To be honest.
I've seen a lot of things in my previous life. I've seen two or three military parades.
But for some reason, her legs were still shaking.
If not for Wang Li's quick reflexes and support, he would definitely have made a fool of himself.
Ying Tian pretended to be calm, but his scalp went numb as he walked forward step by step.
Under the cold gazes of the officials, he walked to the end and sat down on the throne.
As for the matter of letting him temporarily take control of the court, Ying Tian had a vague guess that it was not Brother Zheng who had ordered it, but Zhao Gao who had faked the imperial edict.
The goal was to find a puppet to control the government and prevent chaos.
After all.
The sand dune was very far from Xianyang, and Zhao Gao wouldn't be able to return in a short time.
As for why this person was him and not Huhai, he did not know.
"Ninth Young Master, His Majesty is dead and has ordered you to take over the government. Since that's the case, from now on, you have the final say.”
someone said. This person was called Zhao Wu, Zhao Gao's adopted son.
Because he was valued by Zhao Gao, he could be considered someone who had some say in the Imperial Court.
"His Majesty is already dead, so we should continue to build a mausoleum for His Majesty. However, Mount Li is currently lacking in rations, so I hope that His Majesty can order the opening of the national treasury and distribute the rations.”
Zhao Gao's son-in-law, Yan Le, spoke in a low voice and put on a fake smile.
They echoed each other, as if they were going to force the abdication.
Other than them, no one else spoke.
Ying Tian wasn't stupid. He knew very well that regardless of whether they were loyal to brother Zheng or had disloyalty, they were all waiting to see how he would deal with this matter.
If he didn't handle it well…many people would be disappointed in him.
No!
Could it be that Zhao Gao's goal was to disappoint these people first, so that when he returned, he would have a legitimate reason to support Huhai to ascend the throne?
Ying Tian suddenly thought.
This period of history was not recorded in the history books.
At this moment, he vaguely realized that the truth should be as he had guessed.
He had no choice.
2,000 years had passed since Great Qin was born, which was simply too long ago.
In addition, Xiang Yu had burned down more than half of Xianyang, causing many things to go missing.
Just as Ying Tian was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
