"Wang Ben?"
Indeed, it was Wang Ben.
Zhao Gao's face stiffened when he saw Wang Ben, and he said in a deep voice," Marquis Tong Wu, why are you here instead of guarding His Majesty? The Prime Minister and I are reading His Majesty's last words. What are you unhappy about?”
"Hehe, Lord Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate, don't get angry at me.”
Wang Ben sneered and teased," I didn't say that either.”
"Not you?"
Zhao Gao was stunned." Who is that?"
"It's me!"
With a loud shout, a figure walked out from behind Wang Ben!
When they saw that person, everyone was completely stunned!
"Your…Your Majesty?"
Shua!
Everyone immediately knelt down!
Zhao Gao was instantly shocked. Beside him, Li Si dropped the imperial edict in his hand. Then, he fell to his knees and trembled!
Zhao Gao's body trembled, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. Then, his entire body collapsed.
"Your…Your Majesty…"
Zhao Gao's face was filled with disbelief as he looked up at Qin Shihuang." Your Majesty…how…"
"You mean, how is this one still alive?”
Ying Zheng smiled coldly." Or, are you complaining that I came at the wrong time, which made it impossible for you to continue your show with Li Si?”
"Your Majesty, I, I will die, I will die!”
When Li Si heard that, he knelt down and kowtowed crazily!
Thump!
Thump! Thump!
Instantly, a pool of blood stained the ground!
"Your Majesty…this servant, this servant doesn't dare…"
At this moment, Zhao Gao felt as if tens of thousands of lightning bolts had gathered on his head and tens of thousands of mountains were pressing down on his chest. He trembled and said in shock," Your Majesty, please forgive me…Your Majesty, I am extremely happy that you can turn the situation around!”
"You just said that I want to make Huhai emperor?”
Qin Shi Huang teased," I ask you, what were my original words?”
"His Majesty's original words…"
Zhao Gao swallowed his saliva." Maybe I heard wrong…I know I was wrong. I'll die…"
"Misheard?"
Qin Shi Huang sneered," One misheard, two misheard? Men, bring him up!"
Shua!
Two burly guards brought a person up. It was the confidant that Zhao Gao had arranged for him earlier.
Zhao Gao's heart sank when he saw the thing in the man's hand.
"Open it."
"Yes!"
Wang Ben stepped forward and snatched the posthumous edict from the man's hand. He opened it, and his expression changed drastically.
"Wang Ben, read!"
"Yes!"
Wang Ben calmed himself down and said," On the seventh day of the sixth month in the thirty-sixth year of the First Emperor's reign, I suddenly felt unwell! Young Master Fusu, I have always thought highly of him, but you colluded with Meng Tian and spoke ill of him several times. I wholeheartedly face, you reject the heart of wolves, tiger leopard words, to me where? Such an ambitious person makes me vomit blood. How can I hand over the Great Qin Dynasty to you? I'll make it clear that the two of you will commit suicide to apologize. Since the imperial edict has arrived, it will be carried out immediately. If you disobey even half of it, your crime will be like deceiving the emperor. Everyone will kill you!”
Everyone in the palace was dumbfounded by Wang Ben's words.
This edict…
Was he trying to force Fu Su and Meng Tian to commit suicide?
"Zhao Gao, Li Si!"
Qin Shihuang himself also had a cold expression. The hatred in his heart was no longer hidden because Zhao Gao wanted to kill his beloved son!
This was something he could not accept no matter what!
"Did you hear wrongly?"
Ying Zheng let out a long sigh, pointed at the imperial edict, then at the two of them, and said," Is this also my intention?”
"Your Majesty, please forgive me…"
Hearing that, Zhao Gao quickly knelt down and crawled over, but before he could grab Ying Zheng's thigh, Wang Ben kicked him away!
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty…"
Zhao Gao suddenly turned his head and pointed at Li Si." It's all Li Si's idea! This servant is loyal to you!”
"You! Zhao Gao! You!"
When Li Si heard this, he almost fainted from anger. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed again." I'll die a thousand deaths for listening to Zhao Gao's slanderous words! I covet power and tamper with the edict. I can't atone for my sins even if I die ten thousand times. I only hope to die quickly! "However, Zhao Gao has wild ambitions. The posthumous edict was all his doing. I only beg Your Majesty to quickly kill Zhao Gao and me!”
"Your Majesty!"
Hearing Li Si and Zhao Gao's words, the officials immediately said," Your Majesty, these two are extremely crafty. We can't let them off!”
"Your Majesty, these two traitors framed the Eldest Young Master and tampered with the posthumous edict. They are unpardonable and should be executed!”
"Your Majesty, I request to personally supervise the execution of these two people!”
"It should be a car crack, like Shang Jun's punishment, five horses dismemberment!”
All the officials were filled with righteous indignation and wished they could cut Zhao Gao and Li Si into pieces!
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeve, and all the ministers fell silent immediately.
He looked at Zhao Gao on the ground and let out a long breath." Zhao Gao, I heard that you have wild ambitions today. At first, I didn't believe it. I thought that it might be the words of the remnants of the six countries. But, hehe, I didn't expect that the one who disappointed me wasn't him, but you!”
" Your Majesty, please spare me, please spare me. This was all Li Si's idea. Your Majesty, please understand. I am loyal to you, truly loyal…"
When Zhao Gao heard this, he didn't forget to quibble crazily.
"Zhen remembers that you have accompanied Zhen for a lifetime and have worked hard.”
Ying Zheng shook his head and said," Nine clans can be spared, but six clans can be exterminated!”
"Yes!"
Wang Ben waved his hand and two guards immediately dragged Zhao Gao out of the room.
" Your Majesty, please spare me, please spare me, Your Majesty, this servant is loyal to you, loyal…"
"Li Si."
"Your Majesty."
Li Si knelt on the ground and cried," I'll die ten thousand times. I've let down Your Majesty's kindness. I'll die ten thousand times. Even if I die ten thousand times, my entire family will be wiped out. There's no forgiveness!”
"Take Li Si…"
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, then flung his sleeves heavily and said," Lock him up first. Let me think about how I should sentence him!”
"Yes!"
Wang Ben waved his hand and ordered his men to take Li Si away.
"Your Majesty, I only wish for a quick death!”
