Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 453
As for depriving himself of his title and demoting himself to a commoner, Ziying also had two guesses in his mind.

One is that the first emperor was already preparing to establish a prince, and in order to clear the obstacles to the prince's succession, he pushed himself, the most powerful minister, to the end.This mentality is not impossible when the successor does not have enough prestige and the world has been at peace for a long time.

The second possibility is a bit scary, that is, Zhao Gao falsely preached the imperial decree!

If it wasn't for Ziying's familiarity with the original history, knowing that this seemingly simple and honest Zhao Gao is actually a daring thief, Ziying would not have dared to think about it, because this guess is too frightening.

"Quickly send me all the information in the past few days." After visiting his mother, Sima Jingjing, Xue Ji and other wives, the first thing Ziying did was to call Yan Meng over.

Ziying is a giant of the Mo Sect, his mansion has already been dug out by Yan Meng with the same tunnels as the outside world, and because of Yan Meng's carefulness, more than one tunnel has been dug.

Although the mansion was besieged by the army at this moment, Ziying could not be cut off from the communication with the outside world. Because he had been on the road before, at this moment, he could be said to be blind to what happened in Xianyang.

The efficiency of the Momen is not covered. Not long after, the big and small events that happened in Xianyang have been placed in front of Ziying.

Looking at Ziying's face became more and more ugly.

Young Master Gao and Young Master Guang, the two princes who were most popular in Xianyang City, were bestowed to death on the same day.Because the news of the son Fusu's death had not been made public by Zhao Gao, many courtiers may have privately discussed that the first emperor was clearing the way for Fusu to rise to power.

However, Ziying knew from the previous incident with the son and general that although the first emperor was iron and blood, he loved his descendants very much, and it was absolutely impossible for him to give his own son to death.

Then there was only one result, Zhao Gao and Li Si had hooked up in advance, one in the palace and the other outside the palace co-directed this shocking conspiracy.

Seeing this, Ziying is most worried about the safety of the first emperor in the palace. You must know that in the previous life, the two hooked up after the death of the first emperor. Now that the two have hooked up in advance, could it be that something happened to the first emperor? .

The only thing Ziying didn't expect was that it was his own threat that forced Zhao Gao to act in advance and take the risk.

"Yan Meng!"

"exist."

"Immediately mobilize all the forces of the Momen in Xianyang to fully investigate the whereabouts of the first emperor in recent days."

"promise!"

Although Ziying ordered the Momen to investigate with all their strength, how could it be so easy to find out the whereabouts of the majestic First Emperor.

"Uncle, don't let anything happen to you, Daqin is still inseparable from you." Ziying looked in the direction of Xianyang Palace and sighed secretly.

……

In just a few days, Shi Huangdi's body had even reached the point where he could not get up while lying on the bed. Even after taking the fairy medicine, he could barely lean on the soft couch and watch the memorial for a while.

"Zhao Gao, the Gaoling Order wrote that a trace of an immortal was found in the territory. Do you think this immortal is here to enlighten the real person?" Shi Huang asked Zhao Gao, leaning on his back and holding a scroll with difficulty.

Gaoling is located in the northeast of Xianyang, which already belongs to the jurisdiction of the internal history, and is very close to Xianyang.

"The real person is blessed with the same blessings as heaven, and now the immortal has arrived near Xianyang, so he must have come here to receive the real person." Zhao Gao quickly replied.

"Has my son Fusu arrived yet?"

"Master Fusu will arrive in a few days."

"That's good, that's good..." Hearing Fusu's reply that he was coming soon, Shi Huang smiled contentedly, and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Even in his sleep, the emperor still had a smile on his lips, presumably in his dream, he had already become a fairy.

Seeing the first emperor falling into a deep sleep, Zhao Gao's originally smiling face immediately turned serious.

"You guys take good care of the real person, I have to leave first." Zhao Gao said coldly to the other eunuchs.

After speaking, he left the palace of the first emperor. The health of the first emperor was getting worse day by day, and it seemed that he could not last for a few days.

Moreover, he has not waited for the news of Fusu's arrival, and Emperor Shihuang has obviously been a little impatient these days. This lie can't last long, and some plans are about to start.

"The real person won't be able to wake up for a while. Go and rest first." After Zhao Gao left, one of the remaining eunuchs, the oldest and the highest, said to the eunuchs with lower status.

"Thank you for the stupid eunuch." Hearing this eunuch's words, these eunuchs with lower status immediately seemed to be pardoned.

The Emperor Shihuang had been getting weaker and weaker for a while, and they had suffered a lot by waiting here every day. At this moment, someone was willing to rest for a while against their natural pleasure.

The eunuch who volunteered to be on duty here was Yu, the eunuch who secretly disclosed the affairs of the first emperor to Ziying when Ziying was forced to accompany him on a parade.

To some extent, Yu can be said to be Ziying's insider in the palace, but fortunately, when the news of the establishment of the crown prince was announced in the palace, Ziying was not in Xianyang, so Yu who did nothing became Zhao Gao The fish that slipped through the net of that great purge.

Like Zhao Gao, Yu was a close eunuch who served the first emperor for many years. However, unlike Zhao Gao, Yu, who was not good at understanding the emperor's mind, could not compare with Zhao Gao in terms of status and favor.

However, one thing Zhao Gao couldn't compare to was that Yu had always been loyal to Shi Huangdi.

Seeing that everyone had left, Yu ran to the edge of the window to check carefully, and then hurriedly walked to the bed of the First Emperor.

"Shihuang, wake up. Shihuang, wake up." Yu called out in a low voice while patting Shihuang's body lightly.

Ying Zheng, who was forcibly awakened from his sleep, opened his eyes obviously a little unhappy.

"What disturbed this true dreamer, Zhao Gao?" Shi Huang asked Yuhe.

Seeing the first emperor waking up, Yu couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.

"Shihuang, I'm damned, I kept it from the first emperor for so long." Yu plopped down on the ground and said to the first emperor with tears streaming down his face.

Seeing Yu's move, Ying Zheng was also a little confused.

"What are you hiding, tell me in detail." Shi Huang ordered weakly.

"Shihuang, a few days ago... I was lucky enough to escape my life because I had no contact with the outside world, and because I have served Shihuang for many years, Zhao Gao was afraid that changing me would attract His Majesty's attention, so I had the opportunity to be by your side all the time.

I also wanted to warn you in advance, but when I found out about Zhao Gao's actions, the guards and eunuchs who were loyal to you in the palace had already been replaced by Zhao Gao. Return to Xianyang, and then quietly report the process to the King of Qin, and let the King of Qin get rid of Zhao Gao, the traitor.

However, as soon as the King of Qin arrived in Xianyang a few days ago, he was deprived of his title by Zhao Gao and Li Si Jiaozhao, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned in the mansion by heavy soldiers. I have not been able to see the King of Qin.

In the past few days, I have been thinking hard and there is no other way, so I have the courage to tell His Majesty the matter, and ask Your Majesty to show me how to deal with it. "

While crying, Yu told the first emperor exactly what had happened during this period of time.

It has to be said that Yu is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. When Zhao Gao slaughtered a large number of palace people in the palace who had contacts with the outside world, he was afraid of getting angry and dared not say a word.

When Zhao Gao replaced the guards and eunuchs in the palace, because he was not involved, he let it go.

However, when he found out that something was wrong, and Zhao Gao dared to pretend to kill the two princes, he was already powerless.

Because the palace at this moment is full of Zhao Gao's people inside and out, and the guards and eunuchs who were loyal to the first emperor were either transferred away or disappeared quietly. To be known by Zhao Gao is to die without a place to bury him.

So he pinned all his hopes on Ziying who was about to return to Beijing. However, Zhao Gao moved one step faster and put Ziying under house arrest without giving him any chance to contact the outside world.

Watching the first emperor decline little by little in the past few days, Yu's heart felt as if a knife had been twisted.

So on this day, taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Gao's departure, he told the first emperor everything, and he couldn't let the emperor of Daqin be blinded to death by Zhao Gao.

After Yu finished speaking, he knelt beside the first emperor and wept unceasingly.

On the contrary, Emperor Shihuang was surprisingly calm after listening to Yu's narration, lying quietly on his bed for a long time.

He didn't doubt Yu's words too much, because Yu didn't have the motive to deceive him at all, and because he was tempted by the cake of becoming a fairy before, he didn't pay too much attention to the changes around him.

At this moment, Ting Yu burst the big bubble, and Ying Zheng also felt some unusual changes in this period of time in retrospect.

"Ben Zhenren... I, I have a heavy responsibility for you, which is related to our great Qin Jiangshan community." Shihuang said slowly to Yuyu.

"Foolishness obeys orders." Hearing Shi Huangdi's words, he responded immediately.

"Help me up." Shi Huang ordered.

At the moment Yu tried his best to help the first emperor up, and under his order, he helped him to the front of the table.

After grinding and laying out the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng was about to write when he suddenly thought of something and said to Yu: "Take off your robe and write on it."

Hearing the first emperor's order, Yu hurriedly took off his close-fitting robe and spread it on the table.

"Zhao Gao and Li Si are trying to bring chaos to the world. I am afraid that time is running out, so I ordered my son to help Su take the throne, and gave Qin Prince Ying the tiger charm to command the army, so that the world's soldiers and horses can help Su to quell the bandits."

The First Emperor was already extremely weak at the moment, so after simply writing these words, he struggled to get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo that was placed on the table.

Seeing this, Yu hurriedly helped Shihuang take the jade seal, and covered it heavily.

In order to prevent the first emperor from becoming suspicious, Zhao Gao did not take the jade seal away. As for the forged edict, after the forged edict was written in advance, he just stamped it while the first emperor was resting.

After finishing all this, Ying Zheng took out a tiger talisman made of pure gold from his bosom and handed it to Yu, saying, "This secret edict and tiger talisman must be handed over to King Qin himself."

"But King Qin's mansion has been besieged by the army." Yu reminded that it was the emperor.

Hearing Yu's words, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Go to the wine shop in the west of Xianyang and tell them that you have something big to do and you need to find the Momen giant. Naturally, someone will take you to see the King of Qin."
