Chapter 265 Killing Zhao Gaogao Before the King

On the other side, after Zhao Gao left, Li Si slowly opened the door and looked up at the sky.

"Your Majesty..."

Li Si sighed.

Such a thing is really tempting...

So what choice should he make?
Complicated thoughts flashed through my mind one by one, and at the end it was fixed on the scene where I handed over the letter of remonstrance.

Since when did he become the first emperor's tool man?

Since when has he been controlled by power over his body and his thoughts?

Perhaps it started from the moment I made a move on my junior brother.

but……

When the idea of ​​becoming a saint and proclaiming a son came to his mind, when he and the first emperor made up their minds to let go of the estrangement between the monarch and his subjects and work together, when he found a greater ambition, his heart blinded by power has become sober. .

After being honest with the First Emperor, for a period of time, all major events in the world were decided by himself, Zhao Si, and the First Emperor.

This allowed him to regain the relationship between the monarch and his ministers who had been lost for an unknown amount of time.

Since when did everyone become so sure that they are passionate about power and will violate human nature and lose their loyalty?
Zhao Gao was sure of himself, Zhang Cang was on guard against him, and even a kid like Zhao Si didn't believe in him.

"I was born in Cai Buyi. Thanks to His Majesty's attention, I have the status I have today. Loyal ministers do not work hard, filial sons do not work hard, and those who are ministers should be loyal!"

Li Si muttered softly, and there was no one around him, he was talking to himself.

After a long time, Li Si slowly raised his head.

If he was really the toolman of the First Emperor as always, he might have made up his mind at this moment.

But the ice between him and the first emperor has melted, especially before the new reform of the Great Qin is about to start, the contradictions between the monarch and his ministers have already been eliminated.

The First Emperor was willing to completely trust him and entrust him with important tasks as before, and Li Si dared not disappoint the First Emperor's wishes.

As for the mistakes I made in the past?

After eating weight-loss meals with the first emperor for several months and enduring the torment of exercising together for several months, the ice and snow have already melted.

The First Emperor forgave himself, and Li Si knew it.

Now, then, the essence of the problem is not power.

It's about whether I will live up to the trust of the first emperor for the sake of power as before.

This is the second choice, but the situation is not the same.

"Except for Your Majesty, who else in the world can tolerate me?" Li Si smiled.

If it's just for power, maybe Hu Hai is a good choice.

But if it was for the big plan in his heart, for the sake of becoming a saint and proclaiming himself a son, Hu Hai would not have the courage to support himself in carrying out reforms. There would be no one in the world with such courage except the first emperor.

And once I choose to betray, no one will entrust me with such a heavy responsibility like the first emperor.

"Your Majesty believes in me, how can I bear His Majesty?"

Li Si let out a long sigh, changed into his official uniform and stepped out of the room.

He knew what his decision meant, but it didn't matter.

"As for Zhao Si..."

Li Si frowned.

"Zhao Gao's management of the palace people and his inner ministers have already created evil intentions, and there will be changes if they are too late. The most urgent thing is to inform the officials to decide what happens after His Majesty's death." Li Si made a decision.

Zhao Si is still in the palace.

Although Zhao Si was in charge of the first emperor's travel safety, the soldiers were not allowed to enter and exit the palace, and most of them were guarding the outside of the palace, while the rest of the accompanying palace officials and internal officials all obeyed Zhao Gao's orders, and without tiger charms, neither Zhao Si nor Li Si could transfer soldiers to the palace. within.

But now, inside and outside the palace, most of them have been isolated by Zhao Gao. When the First Emperor dies, Zhao Gao will definitely attack Zhao Si at the first time...

Li Si must act quickly!
Li Si thought about the pros and cons, and made a decision to step out the door.

"Li Xiang..."

Li Si looked at Dunwei who blocked his way in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Zhao Si's mood fell into a strange calm as he looked at Shi Huangdi whose breathing gradually weakened between the beds.

"Doctor Xia..." Zhao Si looked at Xia Wuqiu seriously and spoke solemnly.

"Your Majesty has just woken up, but is there still a possibility of recovery?" Zhao Si asked softly.

Xia Wuqi was silent for a long time, slowly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is talented, most of it is the reflection of the light..."

"I, try my best..."

Zhao Si didn't say much, just clenched the imperial edict in his hand, and looked out the door quietly.

"Please also ask Dr. Xia to take good care of His Majesty!" Zhao Si pondered for a long time before looking at Xia Wu and bowing.

Xia Wuqie nodded and didn't say much.

Zhao Si could trust Xia Wuqiu, and in this situation, there were not many people in the entire team he could trust.

He couldn't completely trust other people, even Li Xiang.

To be honest, he himself doesn't know how Li Si will choose now. Although the relationship between the first emperor and Li Si has been eased to a certain extent, and the gap left between the monarch and his ministers more than ten years ago was artificially repaired by Zhao Si, but when things are imminent, Zhao Si was still not sure what choice Li Si would make.

"Bring my armor, halberd, bow and arrow!"

Some soldiers should claim to be the only ones, and go to fetch armor, halberd, bow and arrow for Zhao Si.

In a short while, Zhao Si had already put on the golden armor and was standing at the gate of the palace with the meteorite halberd in his hand.

Behind it is the palace of the first emperor.

The First Emperor was unconscious now, Zhao Si had no way to send troops through the First Emperor, there was no way, the First Emperor closed his eyes too quickly.

But it doesn't matter, Zhao Gao can't mobilize the forbidden soldiers outside the palace, he can only mobilize the inner courtiers in the palace.

The number of people is enough, but it doesn't matter...Zhao Si has only one goal from the beginning to the end.

Once the first emperor died, he immediately executed Zhao Gao.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Gao came as Zhao Si expected.

He immediately organized the inner court staff, isolated the inside and outside, and shielded all interference outside the palace.

Now for Zhao Gao, the first thing to do is to confirm the death of Emperor Shi Huang.

Unfortunately, when he came, Zhao Si had already made all the preparations, and Zhao Si stood in front of the door in golden armor.

Zhao Gao wanted to step into it but was stopped by the big halberd.

"Dr. Xia is in the care of the palace, the government order please stay!" Zhao Si stabbed the halberd in front of Zhao Gao's neck.

Naturally, there were other palace people looking after Shi Huang's bed, but the gate was blocked by Zhao Si, so Zhao Gao couldn't know the specific situation.

He didn't even know whether the palace servants serving the first emperor were dead or alive.

Zhao Gao really wanted to go in and have a look, but Zhao Si's halberd was lying in front of his neck, and Zhao Gao chose to retreat due to the killing intent on his back.

Not urgent……

Zhao Si can only show off his prestige here!
Outside the courtyard, he had already made all the preparations. Zhao Si didn't have a tiger talisman and couldn't get out of the palace. There were only a handful of people who could be mobilized. As long as the news of Shi Huangdi's death was confirmed...

He has enough confidence to kill Zhao Si here.

"I'm waiting here!"

Zhao Gao took two steps back, closed Zhao Si's halberd lying in front of his neck, saluted respectfully to the closed door, and then spoke in a deep voice.

Zhao Si didn't speak, but silently planted the eucalyptus tree on the ground.

At the last moment of Shi Huang's life, he still didn't want Zhao Gao's blood to pollute Shi Huang's body.

Zhao Gao waited silently with his halberd in his arms, but the halo of raw jade was fully fired without any slack. Before the death of the first emperor, he could not give up a glimmer of hope.

And Zhao Gao, who was waiting on the sidelines, was also secretly thinking about Zhao Si's unusual behavior.

In Zhao Gao's view, he is isolating the inside and outside, so why is Zhao Si's move not blocking the view and hearing?
Did Zhao Si notice something?

Zhao Gao reckoned in his heart that with the state of Shi Huangdi when he left, it is likely that he has more air in and less air out now.

Zhao Si isolated himself from the outside, not letting himself know the specific situation of the First Emperor, and holding the imperial edict...

Are you stalling for time?

Is it wrong to delay until the civil and military officials find out?Or delay until Meng Yi returns?

Or is he waiting for Li Si?
Zhao Gao instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know exactly what was wrong.

Just as he was about to think carefully, he heard footsteps coming from inside, Zhao Gao's heart tightened.

Zhao Si's ears moved, and the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer to the palace gate. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Xia Wuqie who came to announce the final physical condition of Emperor Shi Huang.

Zhao Si sighed, then looked at Zhao Gao.

"Fu Ling, what are you waiting for here?" Zhao Si asked for no reason.

Zhao Gao ignored Zhao Si's question, what is he waiting for?Of course he was waiting for the news of Shi Huangdi's death.

The footsteps were getting closer, Xia Wuqiu pushed open the door.

He looked at Zhao Si with heavy eyes.

"His Majesty……"

Xia Wuqie opened his mouth and didn't say the second half of the sentence, but shook his head heavily.

Zhao Gao was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he didn't show it at the moment, he just showed sadness and called out softly.

"Doctor Xia, let's go in..." Zhao Si pushed Xia Wuqi, and then closed the door tightly.

Then he looked at Zhao Gao with a sad face and sighed.

"I was just asking, what is the government order waiting for?"

What is Zhao Gao waiting for?
Zhao Si's halberd lay across Zhao Gao's neck again.

The icy halberd blade forced Zhao Gao to keep retreating.

"You isolate the inside and outside, block the audio-visual, I will wait for His Majesty's news..." Zhao Gao shook his head.

Is Zhao Si crazy?

Zhao Gao realized that Zhao Si seemed to be really planning to do something to him, so he hurriedly backed away.

"This is where His Majesty's bedroom is located. His Majesty has just died..."

呲!
Zhao Sifu sighed again!

The halberd waved, and Zhao Gao's head soared into the sky.

"Let's end..."

Zhao Gao's petty tricks never stopped, Zhao Si's heart was attached to the First Emperor's service and he never left him, but it didn't mean he couldn't guess it.

But all this is meaningless.

It doesn't matter what conspiracy or conspiracy.

What he wanted to do was crystal clear from beginning to end.

Once the first emperor died, he sent Zhao Gao down to accompany the first emperor, and continued to make CRRC orders for the first emperor.

This is a very reasonable thing.

As for the consequences?means?plan?

no need.

What consequences do you need to care about when killing people, what means and plans do you need?

Blood splattered all over the steps...

Zhao Gao's headless body staggered back and fell to the ground.

As for what's next?
Hu Hai?Liz?
It's better to wait for myself to hold Zhao Gao's head and chat with them before talking about the follow-up.
