After receiving the letter, Fusu politely rejected Meng Tian's request to accompany him, and still asked Meng Tian to supervise the construction of the Great Wall and resist the Xiongnu, and after some painstaking persuasion, he took the guards and rode towards Xianyang City.

Leaving only Meng Tian with a sad face, he hurriedly wrote a letter and asked his guards to take a shortcut back to Xianyang, although Fusu is indeed stubborn and a little helpless, but fortunately, there is still his brother Meng Yi in Xianyang Palace.

At this moment, the three powerful contenders for the throne of Great Qin are all in a very delicate situation, and the initiator of this situation is undoubtedly the supreme ruler of Great Qin, the First Emperor.

Today's First Emperor, when the sky is not dark, did not review the bamboo slips in his main hall as usual, but lay on the couch in loose clothes, his face was very tired, and there were many guards at the head and end of the bed, all of which showed that the health of this emperor through the ages did not seem to be good.

But what no one knew was that under this sick appearance, the eyes of the First Emperor, hidden in the dark, were very bright, as bright as when he had made a plan many years ago and sent troops to conquer six countries of extraordinary strength.

What he recalled in his heart was that for a whole month after Yinggao left, he threw the pill given to him by Meng Sheng every day to his hunting dog in the palace, and finally found that the hunting dog was not as agile as before when he hunted for food, and his body, which had been heavier and heavier day by day, had improved slightly since he stopped using the pill.

After that, the First Emperor asked Meng Sheng to increase the supply of his own elixir on the grounds that he was unwell, and Meng Sheng was also happy to agree, seeing that the hunting dogs he raised were really worse day by day after increasing the dosage, not to mention that the First Emperor was not confused now, even if he was half confused, he knew what was going on.

He never expected that he would use such great power to destroy the Six Kingdoms, so that the Central Plains would be full of blood, and he would not be able to make those Xiaoxiao who wanted him die to stop.

He couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he was as discerning and resolute as he was when he was young in the years after reunification, and he took it for granted that traitors like Yan Le were ministers of humerus, but what was the result?

For a while, it was really a little difficult to judge how many traitors there were around the First Emperor, and the seemingly invulnerable Meng Sheng was really a great traitor, and he actually intended to kill his own life, but the First Emperor was not stupid, he knew that Meng Sheng was such a lonely man, lurking in the Xianyang Palace year after year, and someone must have instructed him outside.

Therefore, he did not tamper with Meng Sheng, but spread a message through the guards and Li Si, the left-hand minister he trusted the most at present, who was over seventy years old.

At the court the next day, the First Emperor did not come as scheduled, but Li Si, who had nothing to do with other officials on weekdays, directly announced that the First Emperor had been ill for the past few days and would not go to court for the time being.

What Yinggao and Fusu don't know is that Xianyang City has already been full of messages, and they don't know where the news came from, they all say that the first emperor has positioned his young son Hu Hai as the prince, and once the first emperor has an accident, Hu Hai will immediately succeed to the throne.

Just when the news was out of control, Li Si came again, and told everyone that half a month later, the First Emperor would personally appoint the Prince of Great Qin.

As soon as this news came out, the Great Qin Dynasty could be regarded as a fried pot, and even if no one spread it this time, everyone couldn't help but wonder if there was really something wrong with the First Emperor's body.

The previous First Emperor had not been to the court for more than a month, although according to Li Si, the First Emperor was just tired and needed to stay in bed, but there were very few people who believed in it.

A few days after the news broke, although there was a slightly chaotic scene in Xianyang City, Zhao Gao locked himself in the mansion and neither went out nor saw guests.

It wasn't until there were three days left before the First Emperor announced the candidate for the throne that an old acquaintance finally arrived in Zhao Gao's mansion.

"How's the arrangement?"

"CRRC Fu Ling relieved, that Gongzi Gao didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and after leaving Chen County, he continued to go eastward, it seems that he went to the direction of Surabaya County, although I don't know why, but for us, it is good news. Just ......"

"Huh?"

"It's just that Fusu is rushing back to Xianyang with a group of guards, although we have the intention to stop it, but Meng Tian personally led 20,000 elite soldiers to protect him, and in less than a day, I am afraid that I will arrive in Xianyang City."

"Humph! Fusu is stupid, not enough evidence, but Gongzi Gao, this time can not come, but it is very good, wait for the early preparation, once the matter in Xianyang Palace is completed, immediately arrest Gongzi Gao! ”

"That Xianyang Palace...... Without the Xianyang Order, can the CRRC Government Order still be controlled? That person was naturally the shopkeeper of the original Xianyang City wine shop, and he was obviously a little unsure about Zhao Gao's idleness in the mansion, so he couldn't help but ask more.

"I will inform you of my arrangements in the palace when the matter is completed, as for Yan Le, in order to exorcise evil spirits when the king just said he was sick, he was already beheaded in the ...... of the city."

"This ...... The CRRC government order mourns, and I will go out of the city later! "This man said that your daughter has become a widow, no wonder you have not had a good face to look at, so after reporting the situation, he hurried out of the city to find an excuse.

After the shopkeeper of the wine shop left, Zhao Gao touched his sleeve and took out a narrow bamboo slip inside, on which a line of words was written in a very small seal: increase the dosage of pills, and the plan can be implemented in three days, and I hope to make plans as soon as possible.

Looking at this line of small words, Zhao Gao's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty cold light, he knew that in three days, no matter who came back, he would have to close the net, his current trump card was none other than Hu Hai, who was more and more obedient to him.

It's just that Zhao Gao missed another person this time, needless to say, it was Yinggao who had been taking shortcuts with one hundred and eighty people non-stop, Yinggao was confident in the first emperor, and he didn't believe that this matter could completely hide Zhao Gao.

Because Hu Hai is still within the scope of the first emperor's consideration, even if the first emperor is fine, Yinggao knows that this time he must let him give this prince.

As for Yinggao himself, it really doesn't matter if he is the prince or not.

What is the prince, it's just that your father said that you can do it, if you can't bear it when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu get up one by one, then I'm sorry, no matter who it is, you will hand over the power to me.

But there is one thing, that is, Hu Hai can't be this prince, Zhao Gao, he must die this time!
