In the summer of the twenty-eighth year of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wang Yingzheng, who had been in a coma for half a month, finally miraculously woke up in the middle of the night.

"Xu Fuke has come back?" Opening his eyes, Ying Zheng asked habitually. But all the people around him just drooped their heads, and no one dared to squeak after waiting for a long time. At this time, Yingzheng was weak, and he had no strength to get angry, he smiled bitterly at himself, "It's been ten years, you Xu Fu, you dare to deceive this king!" Lu Sheng, where is Lu Sheng? ”

"Did the king forget? Half a year ago, Lu Sheng prayed for the king, and went to the mountains and rivers. This time, someone finally answered.

Ying Zheng struggled to sit up, let the two maids carry him down the couch, and then gasped and said, "Go and call Zhao Gao quickly." After saying this, Ying Zheng pushed the maid away, took heavy and slow steps, and sat down in front of the bookcase with difficulty.

After a while, Zhao Gao rushed to the palace: "King, the minister is here." "Since Yingzheng was critically ill, after the minister's public discussion, Meng Yi of Lang Zhong and Zhao Gao of CRRC were responsible for taking turns to guard the east side of the hall in case of accidents. And tonight happens to be Zhao Gao on duty. Seeing that the chief waiter came to invite, Zhao Gao hurriedly threw down the book and hurriedly followed.

Ying Zheng waved his hand weakly to signal everyone to retreat, and then suddenly lowered his voice, staring at Zhao Gao with his eyes: "Zhao Gao!" Say! Are you a traitor? Loyal servants? ”

Could it be that his plan was leaked? Looking at Ying Zheng with a murderous face, Zhao Gao suddenly sweated profusely: "Minister...... The minister has followed the king since he was a child, and the king is even more kind to the minister, if the minister has two ambitions, he will be punished by God! ”

"So good, very good!" Ying Zheng gasped and slowed down his tone, "This king is now going to draft an edict, and after the edict is completed, it will be sealed and kept by you for the time being, and when this king goes, he will immediately affix the seal and send it to Jiuyuan!" Do you understand? "A few years ago, Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to do a part-time job of running talismans, which is an official position dedicated to keeping talismans and seals for King Qin, and being able to hold two such important positions at the same time, it can be seen that King Qin's trust in Zhao Gao has reached an unparalleled level.

"The king is in full bloom, and he will recover in a few days......" Zhao Gao fell to the ground and squeezed out two tears.

"Birds!" Ying Zheng shouted violently, and Zhao Gao was suddenly frightened, "How about this king himself, how can he not know?" After saying this, Ying Zheng suddenly coughed violently, accompanied by bursts of coughing, a mouthful of blood gushed out in an instant, splashing on the white silk spread on the table.

"King ......" After all, the two have known each other since childhood, looking at the depressed King Qin Yingzheng, Zhao Gao finally found out with his conscience, "Imperial Doctor!" Where is the Imperial Doctor? Zhao Gao shouted hysterically out the door.

Soon, two imperial doctors hurried in.

"Go out ......" Ying Zheng sat up again, grabbed a roll of bamboo slips in front of the case, and fell over with all his strength.

The two imperial doctors were stunned and turned to Zhao Gao for help, Zhao Gao hurriedly threw away a look, and the two imperial doctors had to retreat outside the palace again.

By the flickering candlelight, Ying Zheng trembled and lifted a large pen, and wrote on the blood-stained white silk with difficulty: "With the soldiers, Meng Tian will be buried in Xianyang with the funeral." After the edict was written, Ying Zheng's life also came to an end, and with the sudden slip of the large pen in his hand, Ying Zheng's neck tilted suddenly, and his head instantly drooped.

There was a dead silence in the dormitory, Zhao Gao got up in fright, stepped forward cautiously, shook Yingzheng's body tentatively and shouted: "King! King! Although Ying Zheng did not answer, his big intimidating eyes were still open.

Zhao Gao hurriedly probed his breath again, and after being sure that Yingzheng was dead, Zhao Gao reached out and removed the cold and stiff arm, pulled out the edict from underneath, and stuffed it into his sleeve. "Lu Zheng is dead, Lu Zheng is really dead...... Zhao Gao's legs weakened, he sat down beside the bookcase, and muttered to himself dreamily at Ying Zheng's corpse.

After sitting for half an hour, Zhao Gao finally returned to the position of the six gods, he calmed down, pretended to staggered out of the palace, glanced at the two imperial doctors standing outside, Zhao Gao said in a low voice: "The king has died!" If you dare to leak the news, slash! ”

"No." The two imperial doctors responded in panic, and then hurriedly walked into the dormitory to dispose of the corpse of King Qin.

Subsequently, Zhao Gao summoned the chief of the chamberlain and ordered sharply: "Immediately close the dormitory, and order the Tiger Army to guard the gates of the royal city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" Zhao Gao pondered for a moment, and then continued, "You go and invite Gongzi Hu Hai into the palace." ”

It was a moonless night, and the entire Xianyang Palace was shrouded in a haze. In the east side hall, two figures flickered and dimmed under the candlelight.

"The king's edict did not say that the prince belonged, what does the prince think?" As he spoke, Zhao Gao took out the edict written by Yingzheng with the last strength of his life from his sleeve, and stretched out his hand to hand it to his son, Hu Hai, who was yawning incessantly. Hu Hai, the youngest son of Ying Zheng, is only 13 years old this year, and has been studying Qin law calligraphy with Zhao Gao for several years.

After reading the edict, Hu Hai said ignorantly: "My father has an edict, and he acts according to it." Hu Hai was inexplicably woken up in his sleep, until now, he didn't understand what Zhao Gao was doing when he was carrying him into the palace at the moment, there were obviously more than ten brothers on his head, how could this throne not be his turn.

"Childe, otherwise! The edict is vague and does not involve major policies and long-term policies, and there is still room for maneuver in the position of the crown prince! Zhao Gao was a little annoyed with his stupid student, "Once this edict was issued, Fu Suding was embraced by the ministers as the king of Qin. ”

"Qin Fa is like this, what more can the husband ask for?" Hu Hai didn't perceive Zhao Gao's deep meaning, and he was still ignorant.

Zhao Gaozhen was a little crying and laughing, for the sake of his own plan, he had to continue to induce: "Confused! Today's edict has not been issued, and the ministers have a military talisman seal, as long as the prince is interested, the position of the king of Qin is none other than the son! ”

"Yes...... But the way to take chaos since ancient times can be abolished! If there is anyone in the world who is not convinced, my life will be suspended! Although Hu Hai was tempted, he still couldn't make up his mind, after all, this matter was too important, how could he, a thirteen-year-old child, think it clearly.

Zhao Gao thumped his chest and said, "How can this be reasonable!" is so indecisive, the son will regret it in the future! Daxing ignores the small sections, please make a decision quickly! Facing Hu Hai, who has nothing to do, Zhao Gao is really a little impatient, if Hu Hai doesn't agree, he will really draw his sword and force him.

"That'...... All right! Hu Hai rubbed his hands together and nodded reluctantly.

Zhao Gao was overjoyed, and immediately left Hu Hai and walked out, at this time the sky was gradually fainting.

Zhao Gao breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked towards the chief attendant who had been waiting at the door for a long time: "Please Prime Minister and Tingwei urgently enter the palace to discuss matters!" At this time, Wang Juan had already returned to his hometown, and he was replaced by Feng Quji, the former master of the bow and crossbow battalion, while Bi Yuan was implicated in Fusu and was dismissed from the official position, and the post of court lieutenant was taken over by the pedestrian Yao Jia.

After Feng Quji and Yao Jia arrived one after another, Zhao Gao announced the news of King Qin's driving. In the stunned breath of the two, Zhao Gao immediately launched a fake edict drafted by him: "This king is seriously ill, and it is difficult to recover for a long time, and he knows that he can't afford it, so the special edict is as follows." Prince Hu Hai, virtuous, filial piety and benevolence, practicing Qin law, is worthy of great responsibility, and now canonized as the prince, will be mourned, and succeed to the throne! July of the twenty-eighth year of the reign of King Qin. "Zhao Gao's calligraphy is first-class in the Qin State, plus he has followed Ying Zheng since he was a child, imitating Ying Zheng's handwriting to write such a fake edict, it is just a piece of cake for Zhao Gao.

After listening to the edict, Feng Quji and Yao Jia were suddenly blindsided, and the two looked at each other for a long time. Is the king confused? How could the throne be passed to Hu Hai inexplicably, instead of Fusu? Prime Minister Feng Qujian was suspicious, his face changed suddenly, he strode forward and snatched the edict from Zhao Hao's hand, and took a closer look, but it was indeed Ying Zheng's handwriting, and the seal was not fake.

"The king is confused!" Feng Quji suddenly cried, dropped the edict in disbelief, and sat down on the ground......

In the doubts of the ministers, Hu Hai finally ascended to the crown prince, and Hu Hai seemed to be quite indifferent to the snubbing of the ministers, but Zhao Gao saw everything in his eyes.

"I'm mad at me!" After the ceremony, Zhao Gao returned to the mansion angrily.

Seeing this, Zhao Cheng hurriedly greeted him: "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

"The ministers don't know what to do! Someday it will be wiped out! Zhao Gao took off his official hat and threw it on the ground.

"Brother, the ministers are like this, all because of one person." Zhao Cheng picked up the official hat as he spoke, and handed it back to Zhao Hao.

"Who?" Zhao Gao asked knowingly.

"Childe Fusu!" Zhao Cheng smiled and bowed down to follow Zhao Gao's side, "In the eyes of the ministers, Hu Hai is just a yellow-haired child, and Fusu is the rightful monarch of the Great Qin." ”

"Birds! I, Zhao Gao, am the rightful monarch of the Great Qin! Zhao Gao angrily smashed the official hat in his hand on Zhao Cheng's face.

"Yes, yes, yes! The younger brother lost his words, and the eldest brother forgave his sins! Zhao Cheng endured the burning pain on his face, nodded and said.

"What's the best idea, let's say it." Suddenly, Zhao Gao stopped.
