Zhao Gao walked out and happily came to see Hu Hai and said, "It's done." Hu Hai took Zhao Gao's hand and asked excitedly: "I really didn't expect that the prime minister would agree so easily!" Zhao Gao smiled and said: "The minister was ordered by the prince to inform him, does Li Si dare not obey!" At this time, the rooster crows kept coming. Zhao Gao therefore urged Hu Hai to go to the prime minister immediately and teach him how to speak. Hu Hai kept the teacher's words in mind and came to see Li Si according to Zhao Gao's intentions. When Li Si heard that Hu Hai was coming, he hurriedly came out to greet him, looked respectful, invited Hu Hai into the lobby, knelt down and said: "Last night, the minister discussed with the CRRC Ling, and I think Gongzi is very smart, and I want to make Gongzi the prince, I don't know what you think?" When Hu Hai heard that the prime minister had promised to make him the crown prince, he was very happy and said: "When my father is dying, he will hand over the important affairs to the prime minister, and everything will be arranged by you." If I can successfully inherit the throne, not only will your position not waver, but you will also be the Zhou Gongdan of my Great Qin Kingdom! After Hu Hai said this, Li Si was really happy, so he hurriedly changed his words and called Hu Hai 'His Royal Highness the Prince'.

The two then summoned Zhao Gao, and the three of them worked together to plan. So he first wrote the first edict and made Hu Hai the crown prince. Zhao Gao stamped it again, and then sealed it. Li Si was worried that Fusu and Meng Tian would be able to ask the teacher for their crimes, so he discussed a good strategy with Hu Hai and Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao thought of a poisonous plan, and said insidiously: "It's better to create another edict, accuse the two of them of their previous mistakes in the emperor's tone, and make them judge themselves, so that there will be no worries!" When Hu Hai heard that he was going to kill his eldest brother, he cried and stopped: "How can I bear to kill my brother innocently!" Zhao Gao said: "Since ancient times, we must be brave and decisive in doing great things, and it is not possible to be soft-hearted." If you don't kill Fusu now, if he knows the truth of the matter in the future, he will definitely kill you! Is it you or he dies, please decide the prince? Hu Hai cried bitterly and said: "It's all up to you two to handle this matter, I can't bear to participate!" Zhao Gao asked Li Si to write a second edict, in the tone of the first emperor, to give death to Fusu and Meng Tian. Li Si was also worried about whether Fusu and Meng Tian would provoke a mutiny if they were disrespectful. The three of them were frightened and discussed for a long time. Li Si decided to send a sheren as a supervisor to replace Fusu, and then bring the emperor's Tai'a sword, so that it would be foolproof. The overseer's name was Tian Tuo, and he accepted the prime minister's order, and the envoy took the edict and set off. They hurried and hurried straight to the county.

The three of them tampered with the edict and felt that the matter had been done, and they were all very happy. In order to prevent others from discovering the flaws, they quietly packed the body of the First Emperor in the chariot before dawn. Everything was ready, and it was dawn. Li Si pretended to be ordered by the emperor to let the car drive away. Zhao Gao arranged a henchman near the car and guarded it very closely. Baiguan didn't know anything about what happened last night.

The team marched from Jingcheng Pass to Jinyang, the county capital of Taiyuan County. At this time, the weather was very hot, and the emperor's body was already emitting a strange smell. Zhao Gao ordered each official to load a basket of abalone on the car to confuse the smell. Ministers and soldiers couldn't tell what stinked. Everywhere they went, the logistics staff still served meals as usual, and the ministers talked about state affairs as usual. However, their recitals were all received by the eunuchs, and then handed into the car, and the official documents were approved by Li Si or Zhao Gao. With such a rapid march, no one knew that Qin Shi Huang, the king of the world, had died. The car drove to Jinyang, and then took a shortcut through Anyi, the county capital of Hedong County, and went straight to Xianyang.

The envoys rushed to Shangjun day and night, and at this time Fusu and Meng Tian happened to be in the county capital of Shangjun, and when they heard that the emperor's envoy had arrived, they hurriedly came out to greet them, and then knelt down to listen to the edict. The messenger unfurled the edict and read it aloud:

I traveled the world and prayed for blessings when I met the gods, so that I could live a long life. Now Meng Tian has brought hundreds of thousands of armor and has been stationed in the border area for several years, but he can't go any further, the craftsmen and the people are suffering from building the Great Wall, and many people have died, this is all your sin. As a son of man, Fusu has written many times to slander the government, and as a courtier, he really doesn't understand the etiquette of a minister. Meng Tian, as Fusu's father-in-law, could neither correct his mistakes nor teach him to learn well, obviously because of the relationship between his son-in-law and father-in-law, he deliberately shielded him. Those who are ministers do not know how to honor their fathers, and those who are courtiers do not know how to be loyal to the Lord, and their sins are unforgivable. Now Meng Tian handed over the military power to the deputy general Wang Li, and the supervision of Fusu was represented by Tian Tuo. I give you two to use the Tai'a sword to cut yourself, and execute it immediately!

After Fusu and Meng Tian listened to the edict, they were like five thunderbolts, and they were overwhelmed by this sudden blow. Fusu only felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and it took him a long time to stand up, he looked at the sword and edict in the messenger's hand blankly, and saw that the sword was the Tai'a sword that his father was wearing, and there was a sudden "buzz" in his head, and he almost fainted. He brace his body, tremble, take the sword and the edict, and walk towards the inner hall.

Although Meng Tian was also shocked, after all, he had deep experience and experienced many things, and he was not as godless as Fusu when he encountered things. At this time, he suddenly calmed down, and when he saw Fusu entering, he hurriedly followed. Fusu held the sword in his arms and was about to commit suicide after crying a few times. Meng Tian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and said, "Childe, slow down, it's too sudden!" Now that Your Majesty is out on patrol and has no contact with us, why did Your Majesty give us death? And we're not at fault! Besides, Your Majesty will not be so ruthless! He was wise and would never make decisions indiscriminately. He sent me to lead an army of 300,000 to 400,000 to be stationed in the north, and let Gongzi be my supervisor, which is a major matter related to the safety of the world! Now just because of the arrival of an envoy, you judge yourself, who knows if this is someone else's trick? I ask my son to ask His Majesty again for clarification and to find out what crime he has committed. It's not too late to die after asking for instructions! Fusu wept bitterly and said, "The lord commands his subordinates, and the father commands his son, what else do you ask?" You see, this is the Tai'a sword that my father often wears! Meng Tian looked at the sword and said, "Your Majesty has a purpose in letting the two of you lead troops here." The Qin State implemented the county system, and did not promote the feudal system. None of His Majesty's sons could take charge of the army and get land, so he sent him to be my supervisor. Your Majesty's meaning: That is, once there is an emergency in the court, you are the eldest son, and the eldest son is the heir to the throne, so Your Majesty asked me to help you, which shows how wise he is! Now His Majesty is out on patrol, far away from the capital. What happened between the capital and the rest of the world? We have no way of knowing. Please calm down and never die first without knowing anything. I immediately sent someone to the east in the starry night, to meet His Majesty in person, and ask the reason! ”

Fusu was silent for a long time, and said disappointedly: "I know my father's temper best, and other people's life and death are just a thought difference for him. Since ancient times, when the monarch and the minister died, the minister had to die; The Father let the Son die, and the Son had to die! There is nothing to ask for. Meng Tian said very angrily: "If Your Majesty has an accident outside, this is not his intention, but a conspiracy of traitors!" Didn't you fall into their trap when you died in vain? According to my father's speculation, His Majesty must have had an accident outside. Your Majesty asked you to be my supervisor to prevent unforeseen things from happening within the court. Now the old father has three strategies, please choose from the son: first, we immediately beheaded the envoy, raised 100,000 troops, and went to Xianyang, first control the capital, and then ask the emperor for responsibility, which is the best policy. Second, immediately send someone to inquire about the emperor's recent situation, and then ask for the reason for the crime, which is the best policy. Third, Gongzi fled to the Xiongnu alone, and I sent someone to appeal to His Majesty about the grievances and ask the reason, which is the next policy. In short, wait for instructions before making a decision. Even if we are guilty, we have hard work! Your Majesty will repent and pardon us. In any case, Childe must not die first, please follow his father's strategy to save his useful body first, and then do something promising! Fusu raised his head and said slowly: "If we go to ask for instructions according to your strategy, it is indeed my father who wants us to die?" We are rebels! If you die at that time, you will still be charged with rebellion, isn't it even more wrong? Don't say it anymore, old general, if you refuse to die, please tell your father that I will help Suning die and not do disloyal, unfilial and unrighteous things! "When you raise your sword, you have to wipe your neck. Meng Tian hugged Fusu and yelled: "How is this a rebellion? It is to do it according to the emperor's original intention, and it is for the sake of the Qin State! Nonsense boy, you are sober and sober! At this time, the envoy walked in, and he and Tian Tuo ruthlessly urged Meng Tian: "Does the general want to resist the edict and rebel?" "When Fusu heard the word 'rebellion', he raised his head to the sky and shouted, pushed Meng Tian away and committed suicide.

Meng Tian saw that Fusu was dead, and the corpse cried, and his liver and intestines were broken. Meng Tian refused to die like this, and did not commit suicide. The messenger took him up, took the general's seal, and put him in a prisoner's cart. Seeing that the incident was too sudden, the deputy general Wang Li was also at a loss for what to do, so he had to take over the general seal. Tian Tuo was the overseer. When the soldiers heard that Fusu had been killed and Meng Tian had been arrested, the army was in an uproar for a while. There is a poem that sighs Fusu and says:

Draw the knife and sigh quickly, and the resentment is full of grievances.

If Fusu listens to the big plan, when the 100,000 male soldiers come.

The envoy kept moving, holding the Tai'a sword, and rushed back to the capital in the starry night to restore his life. At this time, the emperor's car had arrived in Xianyang. Hu Hai, Li Si, and Zhao Gao were overjoyed when they heard that Fusu was dead, and Meng Tian was detained in Yangzhou County, so they announced the funeral. The ministers and the common people were shocked when they heard that the First Emperor had died. Prime Minister Feng Quji and Li Si led hundreds of officials to wear linen and filial piety, and set up a mourning hall to pay tribute. Because the Lishan Mausoleum has not yet been completed, the coffin is temporarily placed in the Xianyang Palace.

Immediately after the regency of Zuo Prime Minister Li Si, he summoned hundreds of officials to the court. CRRC ordered Zhao Gao to read out the edict in public, appointing the crown prince Hu Hai as the emperor, the second emperor, known as Qin II in history. The ministers were shocked, they did not expect that it would be the young son Hu Hai who would ascend the throne. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Feng Quji was still the right prime minister, and Li Si was the left prime minister. But Li Si has a meritorious role in supporting the new emperor, and the affairs in the court are mainly decided by him, and the positions of the rest of the officials remain unchanged. Hu Hai promoted Zhao Gao to Lang Zhongling. Since then, Zhao Gao has been forbidden in and out of the palace, serving under the influence of the new emperor, and the power of the court has fallen into his hands.
