Chapter 58: Zhao Gao's treacherous scheme
Zhao Gao panicked in his heart, the death of the First Emperor was very important, he took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down. Zhao Gao took out the scroll of the holy decree from his arms, and after he opened it, he was shocked, "It turned out to be the second emperor of Fusu." "Zhao Gao is resentful in his heart, if Fu Su ascends the throne, how can he still have a good life?" Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how can you let me Zhao Gao live. ”
There was no one else in the carriage, Zhao Gao thought about it, he was ruthless, and said fiercely: "In this case, Your Majesty should not blame me Zhao Gao." He straightened his clothes, got out of the carriage, and said to the eunuchs who stayed behind, "Go and invite Prime Minister Li Si." ”
"No!" After receiving the order, the eunuch hurried to Li Si's place.
After a while, a sound came from outside the carriage, "Li Si greets His Majesty, I don't know what His Majesty's instructions are for summoning Si to come?" ”
Hearing the voice, Zhao Gao walked out of the car, he waved his hand to send the eunuch away, and then bowed his hand to Li Si slightly, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Li, please come in." ”
When the two entered the carriage, Li Si immediately saluted and said respectfully to the First Emperor lying on the table: "Your Majesty! Seeing that the First Emperor had no reaction, Li Si frowned slightly, he looked at Zhao Gao, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty has not woken up yet?" ”
Zhao Gao nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "It was Gao who invited Prime Minister Li Cheng to come." ”
"You?" Li Si glared at Zhao Gao, and was afraid of waking up the First Emperor, so he scolded in a low voice: "What are you looking for me for?" ”
"Your Majesty, you're dead!" Zhao Gao replied in a deep voice.
"What did you say?" Li Si exclaimed, "How is it possible? He turned to the First Emperor and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" The First Emperor still had no reaction, Li Si was also stunned, he looked at Zhao Gao, and shouted: "When did Your Majesty die?" ”
"It should be less than two hours." Zhao Gao said calmly, he was not afraid of Li Si, "This is the edict left by His Majesty, Prime Minister Li Cheng take a look." ”
Li Si hurriedly took the holy decree, he nodded after reading it, and said in a condensed voice: "In this case, we need to immediately welcome the prince of Fusu back to Xianyang to ascend the throne as the emperor." ”
Zhao Gao waved his hand and sneered, he looked at Li Si with a somewhat mocking gaze, "Let Fusu ascend the throne?" Could it be that Prime Minister Li Chengcheng dug his own grave? This Fusu has long wanted to cure you and me, and Prime Minister Li Cheng has to think twice. ”
Hearing this, Li Si was stunned, and he reprimanded sharply: "Zhao Gao, do you want to disobey Your Majesty's will?" ”
"Will?" Zhao Gao smiled indifferently, he pointed at Li Si, and said in a low voice: "Isn't Your Majesty's will still the final word of the Prime Minister and Gao?" He placed the scroll on the oil lamp and lit it, his gaze a little crazy.
"You?" Li Si was furious, he directly slapped Zhao Gao, and scolded angrily: "You eunuch, how dare you say this?" ”
"I'm a eunuch, so isn't Prime Minister Li a saint?" Zhao Gao didn't laugh angrily, he said to Li Si with some pity: "Prime Minister Li asked himself, will he Fusu let you Li family go?" If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the hundreds of lives of your Li family. Don't blame me Zhao Gao for not reminding Prime Minister Li Cheng now, Fusu has the support of the Meng family. ”
I have to say that Zhao Gao's words hit the key point of Li Si, and he immediately hesitated, he knew that Meng Tian had been looking forward to the decline of his Li family. Li Si was sad in his heart, and the sudden death of the First Emperor caught him off guard. He patted the desk and said helplessly: "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhao Gao smiled lightly, Li Si's words made him settle down, the reason why he came to Li Si was to rely on Li Si's influence among the ministers. At this time, he said in a deep voice: "If Prime Minister Li Cheng supports Gongzi Hu Hai as the second emperor, won't everything be settled?" Zhao Gao finally said his plan.
"Young Master Huhai?" When Li Si heard this, he frowned slightly, and he said with some concern: "Your Majesty has always hoped that Prince Fusu will inherit the throne, and I am afraid that I will arouse Meng Tian's suspicion." ”
"Huh, it's not easy?" Zhao Gao's cold expression said ruthlessly: "Because of this, therefore, Fusu must die!" ”
"Zhao Gao, you are really vicious." Li Si shook his sleeves, glared at Zhao Gao, and gritted his teeth and said.
Li Si was not a hesitant person, and when he made a decision, he immediately discussed the details with Zhao Gao. However, at this moment, there was a sudden anxious announcement from the eunuch outside the carriage, Zhao Gao got out of the carriage and asked unhappily: "What's wrong?" ”
This eunuch was his confidant, and he only heard him say hurriedly: "Back to Zhao's Mansion, you let the little spy Meng Shangqing, just now I saw Meng Shangqing eavesdropping outside the car for a while, and then hurriedly rode away." ”
"What?" Zhao Gao kicked down the eunuch, and he said angrily: "What is the use of you? This Meng Yi eavesdropping on you and not blocking it, it's really bad for me. ”
"Zhao Mansion ordered to spare his life, Meng Shangqing is His Majesty's favored minister, how dare I stop it." The eunuch explained.
Zhao Gao didn't have the heart to deal with this eunuch now, he hurriedly returned to the car and informed Li Si of the matter. Hearing this, Li Si couldn't sit still, he pointed at Zhao Gao, and said hatefully: "You eunuch is really unreliable." Now this Meng Yi must have eavesdropped on His Majesty's death, he should have ridden to Shangjun at this moment, if he is allowed to see Fusu, you and I will be dead. ”
"How can I, Zhao Gao, let him live to Shangjun?" Zhao Gao showed a ruthless expression, "Gao will take people to chase after him, Prime Minister Li Cheng will deal with other ministers here, and the death of His Majesty must not be revealed." ”
"Well, that's the only way to do it now." Li Si also nodded in response.
Zhao Gao immediately rode a horse and galloped away with several cronies and warriors.
Meng Yi's heart was in turmoil at the moment, he had something to do with the First Emperor, but he didn't expect to hear Zhao Gao and Li Si's treacherous tricks outside the car, and he never thought that these two would be so bold. Meng Yi rode all the way to the west, and he wanted to rush back to Shangjun as soon as possible. After galloping all night, Meng Yi was physically and mentally exhausted, and he was about to rest, but when he saw Zhao Gao chasing after him, he was so worried that he didn't dare to stay.
"Zhao Gao, how dare you, a eunuch, conceal His Majesty's death." Meng Yi was caught up and stopped by Zhao Gao, he knew that he was in a catastrophe, so he immediately pulled out his sword and shouted.
"Meng Shangqing, it's too late to say this." The corner of Zhao Gao's mouth was mocking, "Don't worry, the people of your Meng family will meet you soon." ”
"You're so ruthless!" Meng Yi gritted his teeth and said sadly: "I, Meng Yi, swear allegiance to Your Majesty, come on!" ”
"Kill him!" Zhao Gao waved his hand suddenly and said coldly.
The warrior behind him immediately slashed his sword at Meng Yi, Meng Yi was not afraid, he laughed loudly, "How can I, Meng Jiaerlang, be afraid of you, a eunuch, and kill ......"
A fierce battle unfolded on the edge of this cliff, and Meng Yi weighed several swords, and was finally knocked down by a samurai. Zhao Gao stood on the edge of the cliff and said hatefully: "Today is your Meng Yi, and he will be that Meng Tian tomorrow, I, Zhao Gao, will uproot your Meng family." ”
