Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 484

Xianyang Prison.

Since most of the prisoners were taken to Kanto by Zhang Han years ago, although Zhao Gao and the second emperor worked very hard to put people in the prison, but only a short year has passed. The Xianyang prison seemed a little empty.

However, in the early morning of this day, teams of eunuchs came to the dark and damp prison with gorgeous court clothes in their hands, and their target was naturally the court chief who had been imprisoned in the prison for the past two years. member.

"The new emperor is enthroned, please observe the ceremony in court clothes!" An eunuch said blankly.

"The new emperor? What new emperor?" Upon hearing this, an old man immediately

Lie down in front of the fence and hurriedly asked: "Emperor II is in his prime, why did he die suddenly!"

"Who is the new emperor?"

"What happened to the emperor?"

"Could it be that the traitor Zhao Gao really dares to kill the king!"

Hearing the words of these eunuchs, the former court ministers immediately began to discuss.

Although many of them were imprisoned because they offended the second emperor, Hu Haiman was only in his early twenties, and he had never heard that the second emperor had any health problems, how could he die suddenly.

And the most crucial point is - who is the new emperor?
As we all know, all the heirs of the first emperor have been slaughtered by the second emperor in the past two years. Not only the son but also the princess are not left.

Not only that, the near-branch clan with the surname Ying basically died.

In this way, the new emperor enthroned today is absolutely impossible to be a descendant of the first emperor, not even a member of the close branch with the surname Ying.

"Zhao Gao is a treacherous and sycophant, stealing a great treasure, not a son of man!" The old man who asked first at this time gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Shi Nei Shi, why did you say that?" An official asked in confusion.

It turned out that the old man's surname was Shi, and before he was imprisoned, he was in the position of governing Suuchi Shi. Respect him.

"Gentlemen, let's see, apart from those of us in prison, are there any Qin officials in the court?" The old man asked back with a broken heart.

Hearing the old man's rhetorical question, the court ministers in the prison thought for a while, and suddenly found that the officials still standing in the court hall were all promoted by the second emperor after he ascended the throne.

Since the second emperor has always been addicted to pleasure, in other words, all the officials in the court today are already close friends of Zhao Gao and Li Si, and all the officials of the first emperor's time are already here except those who have been beheaded. .

Thinking of this, these ministers suddenly had some guesses. Zhao Gao's actions were obviously a preparation for the usurpation of the dynasty. The current court has no resistance to the change of dynasty.

"Zhao Gao really dared to do such a rebellious thing?" Still some ministers couldn't believe this speculation.

"The matter has come to this, is there any doubt?" The old man said angrily: "Since Zhao Gao dared to let me wait to watch the ceremony, I will definitely spit on this rebellious minister and traitor."

"Bring me the old man's court clothes!" After finishing speaking, the old man said with awe-inspiring air: "I want to see Zhao Gao, a jumping clown, how dare he steal the Great Qin Sheji!"

Shi Neishi's spirit also infected the rest of the people. Under his leadership, everyone clamored to wear court clothes and spit on Zhao Gao at the enthronement ceremony.

……

When Li Si released Feng Jie and Feng Quji brothers, it was not that he did not think about releasing these old officials together.

However, since he has put his wealth and life on Ziying, it is naturally not suitable for these old officials to be released by him.

After Ziying moved into Xianyang and released them personally, they would naturally be grateful to Ziying who rescued them from the sea of ​​suffering. Li Si still had this plan.

However, it was already evening when the three of Li Si arrived in Lantian County. In order not to affect the enthronement ceremony the next day, the Qin army stationed in Lantian entered Xianyang overnight.

It is not so easy for a 10,000+ army to go out. Even if some supplies are temporarily left in Lantian, it takes a lot of time to organize the team and pack up.

After arriving, we have to divide the streets and alleys, and take over the security of Xianyang City tomorrow. When everything is arranged, it will be almost morning.

And Ziying's side is not easy. Although at Ziying's request, everything is kept simple during the special period, but after all, the emperor ascends the throne, even if it is simplified, some playing music, ringing bells, dancing, congratulations by hundreds of officials, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, giving gifts, etc. There are still necessary processes such as banquets.

As soon as he entered Xianyang City, under Li Si's leadership, Ziying began to familiarize himself with the various procedures and precautions for enthroning the next day overnight, and it was not until the fourth watch that he roughly understood the basics.

Then Ziying went down to the harem led by a group of court ladies and began to wear the extremely cumbersome emperor's court clothes.

The final result was that Li Si didn't remember that there were still a group of old Qin officials squatting in the prison until the enthronement ceremony on the second day was approaching.

After hastily asking Ziying for instructions, he hastily dispatched the eunuchs in the palace with court uniforms to find people in the prison under the order of the new emperor.

Moreover, although the news of Ziying's ascension to the throne has already spread from the upper echelons, these eunuchs at the lowest level only knew that there was a new emperor to ascend the throne in just one night. As for who the new emperor was, they didn't know anything about it.

So this group of ministers, full of infinite anger at Zhao Gao, a traitor, was going to go to his enthronement ceremony to spray him with saliva.
