"Your Majesty, since the matter of the Marquis is over, do you want to return to Xianyang?"

"Marquis Wuzhong", Qin Shi Huang has nailed this big hat to the coffin board of Heifu, and the migration of the people of Anlu and Nanjun will also be carried out. Seeing that there was no longer any need to go to Yicheng, Zuo Prime Minister Li Si, General Feng Wuxue and others persuaded Qin Shi Huang to let the imperial driver return to Xianyang.

Because the emperor was getting worse and worse, looking haggard, and unable to even appear in public, they were afraid that if he continued like this, His Majesty would collapse......

"No!"

But Qin Shi Huang rejected the kindness of his ministers.

"The widow with a blinking body, raising troops to punish the riots, the spirit of Lai Zongmiao, the six kings of Xianfu Qigu, the soldiers of Kyushu, cast as the twelve golden people, the world is decided."

"He also conquered the state of the barbarian Rong Di, the territory of Great Qin, the north of Great Xia, the west of quicksand, the east of the East Sea, and the south of the north. Everywhere you go, there are no subordinate! ”

"Then build the Great Wall in the north, build the road, build the palace room, open the five-foot road, and find the ...... of the Queen Mother State in the West"

He has at least done what the average emperor can do for three generations, and his pride has not changed to this day.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at the ministers who bowed to the sin:

"I do things, which one doesn't have a beginning and an end, and when did I give up halfway?"

The ministers looked at each other, it is true, once Qin Shi Huang decided on one thing, he rarely gave up halfway, from the three things of cutting Chu, conquering Baiyue and seeking the Queen Mother of the West, what if he failed? What about the huge losses? It's really not the heart of the Yellow River that doesn't die.

If Heifu is here, he will definitely evaluate Qin Shi Huang as "the first iron-headed baby in the world"!

It's the same this time!

No matter how the ministers persuaded him, Qin Shi Huang had already made up his mind: "Don't go back to Xianyang, continue to move forward, I want to go to Yicheng, sacrifice to the god of the river, and then go to Huiji, to worship the traces of Dayu." ”

Li Si, Feng Wuxue and others were helpless, Qin Shi Huang's wicked people said that they were dead, and they couldn't just say: "Your Majesty, if you go again, you will die outside!" ”

The accompanying army totaled 60,000, Li You led 10,000 people south to collect the military power of Wuchang, Changsha and Lingnan, and Feng Jing divided another 10,000 to escort the people of Anlu to migrate. The remaining 40,000 elite Qin troops from Lang Wei, Wei Wei, and Lieutenant continued to drive eastward.

The reason why he is so stubborn is that in addition to not being very at ease with Heifu, who does not know his life and death, and wanting to continue to stay in the south for a period of time and deal with any changes in a timely manner, Qin Shi Huang also has the last bit of hope in his heart.

"People say that I should die at this age, but I don't know the moon and day, so I travel the world, I want to change my life by changing my spirit, and pray to the gods of the famous mountains to prolong my life."

Therefore, he wanted to carve the last monument on Huiji Mountain, and then climb to the top of the mountain and take another look at the sea......

But death is the end of all people.

The speed of the brigade was relatively slow, and it was not until the fourth day of the second month that it arrived in Xiling County, Hengshan County (Xiling District, Wuhan City), next door to Anlu, where Qin Shi Huang was very ill and could not move forward......

……

In Xiling County, Hengshan County, in the temporary palace protected by the 40,000 Qin Legions, Prime Minister Li Si was very anxious.

It's really hard to put into words, Li Si has been on several hunting patrols with the car, but this is the most disturbing one for him.

From the fourth day of February to the sixth day of February, Qin Shi Huang was so ill that he couldn't get up, sometimes unconscious, sometimes awake, and had stayed in Xiling County for three days!

Qin Shi Huang was seriously ill, only Li Si, Feng Wuxue, Hu Hai, Ziying and a few other people knew, even if they were, they could only go to see the emperor twice a day, morning and evening, only Qin Shi Huang's most trusted CRRC Fu Ling Zhao Gao, and the dying imperial physician Ling Xia Wu could stay in front of the bed every day.

On the evening of the sixth day of the second lunar month, Li Si was busy reviewing the notes sent by the imperial court on behalf of Qin Shi Huangdi, but Zhao Gao came to inform Li Si that His Majesty had woken up and said that he wanted to see him!

"CRRC Decree, how is Your Majesty?" On the way there, Li Si was worried.

Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty looks good today, and he also drank a bowl of porridge." ”

"That's good, that's good."

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to continue to persuade the emperor to return to Xianyang at the right time, but Zhao Gao approached and said in a low voice:

"But Imperial Physician Xia said that this could also be a return to the light......

Lees stopped and sighed.

"Is this still the day?"

"Although Your Majesty is a wicked man, there will always be such a day."

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Zhao Gao arched his hand towards Li Si: "Gao congratulates the prime minister first!" ”

Li Si was not stunned: "Your Majesty is very sick, why is he happy?" ”

Zhao Gao said with a smile: "The prime minister is His Majesty's most trusted minister, and His Majesty will summon him at this time and ask about the heir!" No matter which son the left prime minister proposes, he can get the credit of determining the heir afterwards, and return to the position of the right prime minister is just around the corner, how can he not congratulate him? ”

This remark was full of hints, and Li Si understood, but only nodded: "This is not for the ministers to discuss, Your Majesty has his own plans." ”

Later, the emperor's temporary palace bedroom had arrived, and after Li Si entered, he only smelled a strong smell of medicine......

Qin Shi Huang was indeed as Zhao Gao said, his complexion was much better, at least he was no longer in a coma, he could lie on the couch, and when he saw Li Si coming, he asked the waiter to take the medicine away, and retreated left and right, leaving only the two monarchs and ministers.

"Your Majesty......"

Li Si is also in his seventies, with white hair and shaky teeth, but Qin Shi Huang looks even weaker than him at this moment, and seeing that the former majestic monarch is so sick and weak, Li Si can't help but lie down in front of the bed and weep.

"Prime Minister."

Qin Shi Huang didn't mention his illness or Zhao Gao's speculation about the "establishment of an heir", but asked seemingly casually:

"I heard that this is Xiling County in Hengshan County? Is it the Xiling that Wu'an Jun captured and burned down when he attacked Chu? ”

He smiled and said, "Is there the ghost of the Chu kings of the past dynasties wandering around here?" They hate Daqin, they haunt me in their dreams, no wonder I came here and became so seriously ill. ”

Li Si hurriedly wiped away his tears and said: "Your Majesty, this Xiling is not Bixiling, the Xiling taken by Wu Anjun is in Yiling County, hundreds of miles away from here, as for this place, it is the ancient Xiling clan, it is said to be the concubine of the Yellow Emperor, and the hometown of the ancestors is also ......."

"I see, the prime minister is erudite."

Qin Shi Huang bowed his head and asked again: "How many sons does the Yellow Emperor have?" ”

Li Siying said: "The second son-in-law, one of them is called Xuanhuan, it is for Qingyang, and Qingyang lives in the river. The second is Changyi, descending to the water. In addition, there are more than 20 brothers, a total of 25 sons. ”

"There are more than me, I also have more than 20 children, but there are only 18 children......"

Qin Shi Huang asked again: "Then among the more than 20 sons of this emperor, who will eventually succeed the Yellow Emperor?" ”

Li Si cautiously replied: "His grandson, Gao Yangli, the son of Changyi, is for the ...... of Zhuan."

Qin Shi Huang shook his head: "Don't you set up a grandson?" It's a way, but the country depends on Changjun, it seems that I can't be similar to the Yellow Emperor. ”

At this point, Qin Shi Huang finally opened the skylight and said something bright, and he sighed:

"Prime Minister, I have never tasted illness like this, crying out, I stood at the age of fourteen, and I have been on the throne for thirty-seven years, I wanted to find the Queen Mother of the West, and seek immortal medicine to live forever, but now I am sick and have died...... Is Destiny Immutable? ”

This is the first time in the past three years that Qin Shi Huang has mentioned the word "death" in front of others, and Liston became nervous, does this mean that His Majesty the stubborn emperor has also accepted the fact that his life is about to end?

But I heard Qin Shi Huang say: "I heard that Xia Yu has only reigned for ten years, Shang Tang and Zhou Wu have only been a few years, compared to it, the longevity of Emperor I is enough, and it is just that I can't live forever, but Great Qin ......"

His originally somewhat discrete gaze became firm again: "Qin Zhisheji, it will be passed on to eternity!" ”

Li Si hurriedly promised: "With the foundation laid by His Majesty, Daqin will live forever!" ”

Qin Shi Huang's voice softened again: "However, after I was not established, I had no son-in-law, and the eldest son Fusu rebelled and ran away, and the second son was not filial, and he was demoted to a commoner and a farmer in Yongdi." The remaining sixteen sons are just in the prime of life, and they are inevitably lonely and weak. And it is made by me! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Li Si hurriedly excused himself and said: "It is about the society and the country, it should be decided by His Majesty's words, this is not for the people to discuss, Si respectfully obeys the edict of the Lord, listens to the order of heaven, and does not dare to speak falsely!" ”

"Oh?"

Qin Shi Huang smiled: "By the edict of the Lord, obey the orders of heaven? If this is the case, my third son, Gongzi Jianglu, among the remaining sons, he is the longest, he is benevolent and filial, and he does not dare not praise Binzan; The position of the corridor temple did not dare to lose the festival; was ordered to deal with it, and he didn't dare to give up. ”

"Do you think that Jiang Lu can inherit the great cause?"

When Li Si heard this, he couldn't help but be horrified:

"Your Majesty, this is deliberately testing me!"
