Chapter 185: Good Concealment (19th Update)
The only news that is not too bad is that although the First Emperor looked like this, when he saw Meng Yi and Feng Quji entering the house, he was still able to sit up, and his eyes told the two that the First Emperor was in good spirits.
"What is the important thing in the court today?"
Although the First Emperor is in such a state now, his eyes and head are still good, and when he sees such a slurring expression of the two of them, he knows that these two people must have something to ask for instructions like themselves.
The reason why the First Emperor became like this in just a few months after Yinggao left Xianyang was because he had become more and more bad for some reason since he stopped the pills.
By the time Yinggao left, he was almost eating and vomiting, but because of his status and the increasingly rampant anti-Qin forces, the First Emperor did not inform Yinggao and the courtiers of this matter, but only prepared some medicinal materials for his own consumption.
But as time went by, his increasingly thin figure still attracted the attention of Meng Yi, Feng Quji and others, and the First Emperor also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to hide this matter for a long time, and if he suddenly died violently, it would undoubtedly be an extremely passive thing for Yinggao, who was facing the enemy in front.
Now that he is still alive, although he has been rumored to have died in danger before, in the hearts of many Great Qin officials and people, the prestige of the First Emperor is still very great.
So this time against Qin, except for the counties around Chen County and some counties around the old land of Chu, many northern boundaries have not really been opposed, if they know that the First Emperor is in such a situation now, I am afraid that Yinggao's 150,000 horses will be even more uncontrollable.
So, when the First Emperor found that he couldn't hide his physical condition, he could only tell the truth to Meng Yi and Feng Quji, who are now the most trusted in the court, and made a move that he had made, saying that he was sick and could not go to the court.
If this matter had been put in the past, it would have caused a lot of speculation among the officials in the court, but this time, because the First Emperor had already had such a thing before, and in the end there was nothing, so this time the officials who didn't know what was going on didn't take it too seriously, and said that the First Emperor had found out some misbehaving people and wanted to use this method to make him show his feet.
So until today, only these two brothers know the true situation of the First Emperor, and whenever they come to see the First Emperor, they must go in and out together, and until today, the effect is still quite good.
Seeing that the first emperor's mental state was still good, the two of them were slightly relieved, and they were really afraid that one day they would see the unconscious first emperor.
"Your Majesty's health, but has it improved?"
did not answer his question, Meng Yi and the others still asked the question that the two of them were most concerned about, whether the body of the First Emperor could last until Yinggao, as the prince, came back, it was too important for the two of them.
Hearing Meng Yi's eager question, the First Emperor did not do what he had always done before, but glanced at the two of them, and then sighed deeply before he spoke.
"If I can predict it, how can I not wait for the moment when my Great Qin Prince returns victoriously?"
When the two of them heard this, a sense of sadness arose, and naturally they would not ask the previous question, but replied to the question before the first emperor: "The prince is still overwhelming on the battlefield ahead, and today the two of us came because the prince had already captured Chen Sheng, the leader of the largest anti-Qin forces before, when he broke through Chen County, and now Chen Sheng has arrived in Xianyang City, so he has a very high reputation among the anti-Qin forces, so I dare not move lightly, and I have come to ask the king!" ”
If the First Emperor didn't have the slightest problem with his body, he would definitely be worthy of celebration if he caught such a big thing as Chen Sheng. But nowadays, it's just an ordinary thing.
"The prince I chose for Great Qin really didn't disappoint me, didn't let me down Old Qin, with this Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in hand, my Great Qin can deter the head of the world, this matter ...... You two should know how to do it......"
After saying this, the First Emperor leaned on the couch and closed his eyes slightly, obviously his energy was a little difficult to sustain now.
As he said, for something like Chen Sheng, the First Emperor can only tell them what they want to achieve in the end, as for whether Chen Sheng is beheaded or beheaded or what is more cruel, then you two have to figure it out.
"If the king is fine, he should still rest for a good life! In the affairs of the court, the two of us must do our best, Gongzi will use troops in the front, but there are orders, I will also give full support, I believe that it will not take much time for Gongzi to defeat those Chu nobles in Jiangdong, and the class teacher will return to the dynasty! ”
Picking a good word, the two of them glanced at each other, and wanted to leave, how did they not know that the current First Emperor, I am afraid that life has really entered the countdown.
At this juncture, if they always come over and involve the little energy he has left, it is really hard to say whether the First Emperor can hold out until Yinggao comes back.
"If I can persist until the prince returns to the court, it will be a good thing, if I can't insist, you must keep the news secret until he returns to the court, so that the world can know, can you two know about this?"
"This ......"
Although the First Emperor would say this to the two of them almost every time, the First Emperor was still alive, how could they dare to agree to this, so every time they could only be vague and leave early.
"Even if you don't mourn, don't leak the news!"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, the First Emperor tried his best to raise his voice.
"Obey the king's word!" This time, the two of them naturally couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, bowed down together, and after agreeing to the matter, they slowly withdrew from the court.
In fact, the first emperor's illness, Ying Gao found some clues as early as after he stopped taking the medicine, but Ying Gao thought that it was the side effects of stopping those pills that mobilized his body's strength, and he thought that those pills were like some unspeakable drugs in later generations, and if he wanted to completely quit and keep it, the body did need to adapt to it for a short time.
But what Yinggao never expected was that this time, the situation was really a little different from what he imagined, and it was not small.
