Meng Yi walked outside Ying Zheng's royal tent, he had not seen His Majesty the Emperor since yesterday, although he saw that Ying Zheng's state was much better two days ago, Meng Yi was still a little worried.

"Lord Meng?" Zhao Gao walked out of the king's tent, saw Meng Yi standing outside, and asked, "What is Lord Meng doing here?"

Seeing Zhao Gao, Meng Yi had a gloomy face. Now Zhao Gao is the closest person to His Majesty the Emperor, and Zhao Gao was the first to know anything about Yingzheng, and the reason why he couldn't see the emperor was because Zhao Gao was blocking him. "If I say it's okay, will you continue to prevent me from seeing Your Majesty?"

Zhao Gao smiled lightly and said: "What is Lord Meng Yi saying, Lord Meng Yi is His Majesty's most trusted minister, and he is also the pillar of my Great Qin's country, who would dare to stop your Lord if you want to see Your Majesty?"

"It's good that you know, then why have you stopped in front of me from yesterday evening until now and have not allowed you to see Your Majesty? Could it be that you are hiding something from me?" Meng Yi asked.

Zhao Gao waved his hand, and he said: "Where do you dare to do it, it's just ......"

Meng Yi asked, "It's just what?"

"It's just that although Your Majesty's health has improved a little in the past two days, the Imperial Doctor has instructed that Your Majesty will not be too tired in the past two days, and all the affairs will be handed over to the Prime Minister. Therefore, if Lord Meng really thinks about His Majesty, he should let His Majesty have a good rest. When His Majesty arrives in the East China Sea and asks for the elixir of life, after that, you can stay in front of Your Majesty for as long as you want. ”

Meng Yi snorted coldly, "Zhao Gao, you are a smart person, but don't take others for fools." Whether this elixir is true or not is only known best in your heart, if Your Majesty does not see the elixir when you arrive in the East China Sea, even if you are covered with mouths at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the sin of deceiving the king. ”

"I don't have to worry about the affairs of the lower officials, in short, your majesty can't see anyone in the past two days, please go back. Zhao Gao raised his head and said coldly to Meng Yi as well.

"You ......" Meng Yi had no choice but to return to his residence.

Back in his tent, Meng Yi didn't feel anything was right. This time to accompany His Majesty on his trip to the East China Sea, there are not many ministers who accompany him, only himself and Li Si. Li Si and Zhao Gao colluded, and he couldn't see His Majesty's face, if something really happened to His Majesty, and there was no one in front of His Majesty at that time, wouldn't it be too late?

"No, I have to write a letter to my brother and ask him to bring Fusu back quickly. Meng Yi made a decision, he wrote the letter, snapped his fingers, and an iron guard entered the tent.

Meng Yi handed over the letter he had written to Tie Wei and instructed: "Now that Your Majesty is critically ill, Prince Fusu and eldest brother are not by Your Majesty's side. I'm afraid that Zhao Gao and Li Si will take risks, so I asked my eldest brother to come back with Fusu quickly. You must rush to the north as soon as possible and hand it over to my eldest brother, because the stakes are very high, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Don't worry, the villain will set off. With that, the guard disappeared into the tent like a ghost.

In the distance, Zhao Gao stood with a figure hidden in the darkness, both of them looking at the place where Meng Yi's tent was.

After seeing a black shadow rushing out of Meng Yi's tent, Zhao Gao spoke: "It seems that Meng Yi really noticed something, he sent someone to leave at this time, and he must have gone to report to Meng Tian and Fusu." You go first, and get rid of the messenger. ”

The black shadow standing with Zhao Gao didn't say anything, as if it was just darkness there, and no figure had ever appeared there.

"Zhao Gao, where is Zhao Gao? Call me here. Early in the morning, Zhao Gao ran into Yingzheng's royal tent in a panic.

Entering the king's tent, Yingzheng lay on the bed. Ying Zheng's appearance at this time makes people unable to recognize a king of a country and the emperor of the lord of the world at this time, his long gray hair is messy, his face is as withered as loess, and he looks like an old man in his last years. The Imperial Physician and the Imperial Guardian were around the bed, expressionless.

Zhao Gao knelt on the edge of the bed and bowed: "Your Majesty, Minister Zhao Gao is here." ”

Ying Zheng, who was on the bed, opened his eyes, he glanced to the side, and said to Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao, what you said to me about the elixir of life is true?"

Zhao Gao didn't dare to raise his head, he just lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, the elixir of immortality is real, and it is on the coast of the East China Sea, and Your Majesty needs to go to get it in person." ”

Ying Zheng let out a long breath and looked at the top of the king's tent with blank eyes. "You go and call Li Si and Meng Yi to me, I have something to ask the two of them. ”

Zhao Gao stood up, bowed down and said, "No." ”

Meng Yi entered Ying Zheng's royal tent one step ahead of Li Si, and after he saw Ying Zheng's appearance, he seemed to understand everything, and knelt on the ground in a hoarse voice and said, "Your Majesty, Minister Meng Yi pays a visit to Your Majesty." ”

Ying Zheng didn't even turn his head this time, just lay there and said weakly: "Meng Qing, you get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Meng Yi stood on the side, he didn't dare to look in the direction of Yingzheng, but he couldn't help but want to look. I didn't expect that I hadn't seen Ying Zheng for two days, and Ying Zheng, who was still a little spiritual, would become like this at this time. Love more than the book city

"Lees greets Your Majesty. Li Si then walked into the king's tent with Zhao Gao, and Li Si walked to the bed and bowed.

Ying Zheng snorted, and then asked Li Si to get up. "I have summoned you two today because I have something to ask you both. ”

Li Si and Meng Yi knelt down in front of the bed together, and said in unison: "The ministers will obey Your Majesty's will. ”

"I know that time is short, and I may not be able to wait for the elixir, so I have to make a will now. Lees, you go write it down. ”

A eunuch prepared a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for Li Si, and after Li Si sat down, he said, "The minister is ready, please give an order to Your Majesty." ”

Ying Zheng closed his eyes, and then spoke: "Now I know that the limit has come, this book is my entrustment, and all the ministers of Great Qin must obey it. Today, I have appointed my eldest son Fusu as my successor, and I will inherit the throne after I return to heaven, with Prime Minister Li Si, General Meng Tian, and Yushi Mengyi as auxiliary ministers and acting state affairs. ”

Li Si hesitated a little when he wrote the word Fusu, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Gao who was standing on the edge of the bed, Zhao Gao also looked at Li Si at this time, he didn't speak, just shook his head slightly. Li Si understood what Zhao Gao meant, and without pausing, he wrote Yingzheng's will.

After making the will, it seemed that the last bit of strength of Ying Zheng was withdrawn from his body, his breathing was short, his eyes were closed, and he just muttered: "I ...... I'm not reconciled, I'm ...... Unwilling~" Immediately the limbs suddenly loosened, and the whole person lay on the bed and there was no movement.

Zhao Gao was closest to Ying Zheng, he noticed Ying Zheng's abnormality, he bent down and put his finger on Ying Zheng's nose, after not feeling Ying Zheng's breathing, Zhao Gao shook violently, and then knelt on the edge of the bed, tears flowed.

Zhao Gao's performance said it all, Li Si, Meng Yi, the imperial physician and the rest of the eunuchs in the king's tent also knelt in the distance, shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

The cry was heard from inside the king's tent, and the forbidden army outside was the first to hear the sound from inside the king's tent, and they knelt down. With the king's tent as the center, everyone reacted, and everyone knelt on the ground facing the king's tent regardless of where they were standing, kneeling to see off the Great Qin Emperor on his last journey.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty has returned to heaven, and now your Excellency is the person in charge, and I hope that Your Excellency will come forward to preside over the overall situation. Zhao Gao stood up, walked to Li Si's side and said to Li Si.

Li Si wiped the tears on his face, now Yingzheng is still dead, but their plan has just begun, and at this time, the entire Qin State is watching his actions as the prime minister.

Li Si stood up, nodded to Zhao Gao, and then said: "Your Majesty is going to be immortal, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, now we should cancel the trip to the East China Sea, return to Xianyang immediately, and support the new king." Someone!"

A group of soldiers of the forbidden army walked in from outside the king's tent, "The last general." ”

"The news of His Majesty's death has been completely sealed up for me, and no one is allowed to leak it until he returns to the palace, and those who violate the order will be punished by the nine clans. ”

"No. ”

Meng Yi stood up and said, "What does this mean, Prime Minister? Your Majesty's death is the death of the Great Qin State, why do you want to block the news and not let outsiders know?"

Zhao Gao said to Meng Yi beside Li Si: "Lord Meng, right now the Prime Minister is the person in charge, and the Lord only needs to listen to the Prime Minister's words." ”

"Zhao Gao, how can you speak here, and you won't retreat?" Yingzheng is dead, and Zhao Gao's most relied backer is gone, and at this time, Meng Yi will no longer tolerate Zhao Gao as before.

Li Si looked at Meng Yi and said, "Lord Meng, how can Lord Zhao say that he has been serving in front of His Majesty for so long, even if His Majesty leaves, Lord Zhao will not be so disrespectful." ”

"Hmph, a eunuch, eunuch, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?"

When Zhao Gao heard this, anger appeared on his face. "Okay, Meng Yi, you forced me, I didn't want to do it to you so soon, it seems that you want to accompany Your Majesty as soon as possible. Okay, I'll give you this chance. Come, take Master Meng down for me. ”

Meng Yi was even more furious when he heard this, and he said sharply: "Zhao Gao, you dare to speak to me like this. When he saw the forbidden army rushing in just now walking towards him, Meng Yi realized that something was wrong. "Who of you dares to touch me, I am His Majesty's Imperial Doctor, ranked as the third secretary, who dares to touch me?"

"Your Majesty has just said, Your Majesty is gone, and since Your Majesty is gone, it's time for you, Your Majesty's Imperial Doctor, to go. Zhao Gao said to several soldiers of the forbidden army: "Remember, let Lord Meng Yi be 'comfortable' on the road, after all, he is His Majesty's person, and we can't slack off." ”

"No. Several forbidden soldiers stepped forward and didn't give Meng Yi a chance to resist at all.

"You ...... You guys...... Uh......" Several forbidden soldiers surrounded Meng Yi, and before Meng Yi could finish his sentence, he had been stabbed in the chest and vest no less than five times, and then fell ten steps away from Ying Zheng's sickbed. Before he lost all consciousness, he saw Zhao Gao smiling at him......
