Chapter 227: The First Emperor in the Twilight Years (First Update)
Of course, Meng Yi and Feng Quji knew Yinggao's concerns, so the two stepped forward together, and finally Feng Quji knelt down on his knees in front of the First Emperor's sickbed, and whispered in an inaudible voice very close to the First Emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, Gongzi Gao has returned to the court......
At the beginning, the eyes of the First Emperor were still tightly closed, if it weren't for the fact that the already skinny chest and abdomen were still rising and falling slightly, I am afraid that Yinggao would really be able to do this, and the First Emperor at that time really did not escape his fate and repeated the mistakes of the previous life.
It wasn't until Feng Quji repeated this sentence five or six times in the ears of the First Emperor that the First Emperor's fingers finally moved slightly, and then his lips trembled slightly, and finally, his eyes, as if they had worked hard, finally opened.
Yinggao, who was in front of the First Emperor's head, knew that the First Emperor's body was likely to be at the point of lighting the lamp and boiling oil when he left, but he was a little messed up by Chen Sheng's anti-Qin incident at the beginning, so he didn't pay attention to the health of the First Emperor.
Thinking about it now, it may be that since he interrupted the elixir refined by those Fang Shi, the body of the First Emperor has been almost destroyed, so killing Meng Sheng himself is just to prevent the First Emperor from sudden death, and cannot reverse his health condition.
Ying Gao raised his head slightly, and the eyes of the First Emperor were looking at him fixedly, although his body had almost reached the point of running out of oil and drying up, but his eyes were still so bright.
Looking at Yinggao's eyes, he was still so firm, in the eyes of the First Emperor, Yinggao vaguely seemed to be able to see how the First Emperor, who was less than thirty years old twenty years ago, was a beautiful person, and seemed to be able to see the infinite yearning for the Great Qin for eternity in the eyes of the First Emperor when the Six Kingdoms were wiped out one by one......
The Past ......
What Yinggao can have left in his mind at this time is these three words, maybe for Daqin, his arrival is indeed to allow this dynasty to continue its deserved glory on the land of the Central Plains, at least in his life, he has the ability and the determination.
But for the First Emperor, his arrival did not seem to bring him any major changes, although the First Emperor did not know that if it were not for the current sudden rise of Gongzi Gao, he might end up in a foreign land.
But Yinggao knew that if he didn't say anything, anyway, if he didn't come, the life of the First Emperor was coming to an end, which was not a sense of accomplishment for him.
"Father, Gao lived up to his father's trust, and he had already captured and killed the anti-Qin leaders Chen Sheng and Xiang Liang, and now although there are still some anti-Qin people on my Great Qin's territory, there are already Great Qin soldiers strangling them, and when my father gets better, he will definitely triumph!"
Yinggao saw the clarity in the eyes of the First Emperor, and hurriedly leaned in front of his bed, and told the First Emperor about his achievements, although he didn't know if the current First Emperor could still hear what he said, but Yinggao knew that for the First Emperor, there was nothing that made him happier than his son leading a large army to win the battle.
After finishing speaking, Yinggao also looked at the First Emperor in front of him intently, he knew that the First Emperor at this time was likely to hang a life just to see him for the last time, if he couldn't accompany him on this last short road, then Yinggao himself estimated that he couldn't easily spare himself.
Ying Gao stared at the First Emperor, and so did Feng Quji and Meng Yi behind him, and in addition to the popping sound of boiling herbs that could be heard in the room, there were only a few of them breathing slightly nervously.
"Have you ever ...... Crush the anti-Qin alliance? ”
Finally, after a long wait for the three of them, the First Emperor finally said such a sentence slowly, and Feng Quji and Meng Yi glanced at each other with tears in their eyes, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The physical condition of the First Emperor, they have been hiding it from all the officials, but they can't stand this time Yinggao has been out for too long, when the news of Yinggao's victory on the front line came back to Xianyang City, and the First Emperor still never showed up, finally some officials of Daqin had a lot of doubts in their hearts.
And this kind of doubt, which led to the pressure on Meng Yi and Feng Quji in the court is really a bit big, of course they can't let the First Emperor go to the court to meet everyone, so within two months, there are rumors in the court of Daqin and inside and outside Xianyang City, all of which say that most of the First Emperor is no longer alive, and Daqin's court is controlled by the Mengshi brothers.
At this moment, Meng Yi and Feng Qujian were a little hairy, and hurriedly informed the First Emperor of the situation while the First Emperor could still open his eyes, but the First Emperor was unmoved, and only asked the two of them to handle the government step by step and wait for Yinggao's return.
After waiting for another month, the courtiers made a fuss for a while, seeing that both of them were unmoved, but they all stopped a lot, but at this time, there was quite unfavorable news from the north.
The rumors that the First Emperor was seriously ill and even died were basically not convincing in the territory of Great Qin, because the seven anti-Qin forces that were dissatisfied with Great Qin and eight were basically in a situation of being beaten by Yinggao at this time.
But I don't know who brought this news to Shangjun, outside the Great Wall, and to the territory of the Xiongnu.
At this moment, the Huns, who had been tempered for many years by the army of Great Qin, were like wolves that smelled meat, and began to eyeing Shangjun again.
Fortunately, there is still Meng Tian in the Great Wall, and there are as many as 150,000 troops, after several attempts, the Huns found that Meng Tian is still the same Meng Tian, and the Qin soldiers are still such brave Qin soldiers, which temporarily stopped their temptation, but there are many Xiongnu tribes and clans directly stationed not far from the Great Wall, obviously further observing the situation in Xianyang City, once Meng Tian is not here, they will almost definitely take a very large action after enduring it for a long time.
Under such circumstances, under the weak order of the First Emperor, Meng Yi stubbornly divided the 150,000 troops under Meng Tian's command and transferred 50,000 back to the periphery of Xianyang City.
He knew that the First Emperor was completely just in case, and he didn't know if he could wait for Yinggao's return, and if he died before Yinggao's return, and the news was not kept secret, then at least he had to ensure that Xianyang City could not afford to lose.
