Chapter 12: The Second Succeeds to the Throne, and Troubled Times Come

Zhao Gao said: "Hurry up and inform the prime minister and let him go to the frame of Gongzi Huhai." ”

In his tone, he was eager.

"No." One of his subordinates took the order and left.

Zhao Gao took a deep breath, calmed down slightly, and walked forward quickly.

Soon, Zhao Gao entered the Huhai frame.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Why is your face so ugly? Hu Hai said curiously.

Zhao Gao was about to speak, but a singing harmony came from outside the car: "The prime minister has arrived." ”

"Let him in." Zhao Gaodao.

The curtain opened, and Lees stepped into the spacious frame.

"Lord Zhao, what's the matter?" He asked.

Zhao Gao did not answer, but poked his head out of the car and instructed his subordinates: "No one is allowed to come within one foot of the frame." ”

"No." The men outside the car respectfully received the order.

After explaining, Zhao Gao returned to the car, his white and beardless face was covered with clouds, and he said gloomily: "Something is wrong!" ”

Hu Hai and Li Si were distracted.

Zhao Gao continued:

"Just now, the secret agent came to report that the eldest son, Fusu and Meng Tian, detained the edict envoy and dug out the news of His Majesty's death and false edict from his mouth.

Now, Fusu and Meng Tian have already agitated the border army to enter the Xianyang Qin King! ”

His words are no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Li Si and Hu Hai were so shocked that their faces were bloodless.

Inside the frame, there is silence and an oppressive atmosphere.

Hu Hai relieved himself, hurriedly looked at Zhao Gao and Li Si, and said in a trembling voice:

"Old... Teacher, prime minister, you should think of a way, if you really let Fusu and Meng Tian enter Xianyang, we will die without a place to be buried! ”

He doesn't want to die, he wants to enjoy the greatest glory and wealth in the world.

Li Si put his hands behind his back, his face was ugly, and his thoughts were racing.

The million-strong warriors of Great Qin lost more than 300,000 when Tu Sui conquered Baiyue in the south; Now Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo led 300,000 people to garrison in the land of Baiyue; Meng Tian stationed 300,000 soldiers in Shangjun; There are only 100,000 left in Xianyang and Guanzhong.

If Fusu and Meng Tian led the Shangjun army back to Xianyang, Li Si and Hu Hai couldn't resist it at all...

Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but regret that he had listened to Zhao Gao's words and usurped the edict with them to help Hu Hai seize the throne.

However, there is no regret medicine to buy in this world.

Li Si could only think of a way to deal with it.

Zhao Gao was the first to break the silence and said:

"Now, we can only return to Xianyang as soon as possible, let the prince of Huhai ascend the throne, declare Fusu, Meng Tian, Wang Li and others as rebels, and gather troops to destroy them.

In addition, in the name of the first emperor, he immediately issued an edict to Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo, ordering him to lead 200,000 Great Qin Ruishi to return to Xianyang and protect the new monarch. ”

Li Si added: "In addition, after the son of Huhai succeeded to the throne, he gathered Lishan prisoners and slaves, mixed them with the 100,000 rui soldiers who guarded Xianyang, and let them make meritorious contributions to their crimes, and with Zhang Han as the general, they suppressed Fusu, Meng Tian, Wang Li, etc. ”

"So much the best!" Zhao Gao nodded.

Then, Zhao Gao said:

"Now, we will go to Xianyang at full speed, and we will definitely arrive before sunset, when it will be announced that His Majesty has died, the edict of succession will be read, and Prince Hu Hai will ascend the throne with Yin Ri!"

"Okay, everything is arranged by the teacher and the prime minister." Hu Hai Road.

He himself is an incompetent person with a brutal temperament, and he is more proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, and when it comes to state affairs, he is basically not good at it.

After listening to Li Si and Zhao Gao's plan, Hu Hai was relieved.

Zhao Gao walked back to the First Emperor's chariot and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has an order, return to Xianyang at full speed!" ”

With his order, the convoy headed towards the imperial capital Xianyang at the fastest speed.

Zhao Gao immediately drafted an edict in the name of the first emperor, stamped it with the big seal of the jade seal of the country, and ordered his henchmen to send it to Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo in the land of Baiyue.

When these two generals fought against Baiyue, the first emperor had an order not to return to the Central Plains.

Now, the only army of Great Qin that can compete with the armies of Fusu and Meng Tian is the 300,000 army commanded by Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo.

However, Baiyue is far away from Xianyang, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it will take a long time for Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo to rush back.

Zhao Gao walked out of the chariot, summoned his subordinates, and ordered him to find the family members of the envoy who went to Shangjun to deliver the edict, and kill them all.

He hated the betrayer to the core, and he was never merciful.

The men took the order and left.

Not long after,

One of his subordinates returned and told Zhao Gao: "Lord CRRC Fuling, Meng Yi is missing!" ”

Zhao Gao clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said coldly:

"Hmph, what a cunning man, even if you escape this time, you will be executed by me after all!"

It's night.

Qin Shi Huang's convoy entered the Xianyang realm.

Hundreds of officials went out of the city for ten miles to greet them.

Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Hu Hai announced the death of the First Emperor in front of hundreds of officials.

The hundred officials fell to their knees, wailing and crying, and they couldn't cry.

Then, as prime minister, Li Si read out the edict that let Hu Hai succeed to the throne as the first emperor of Qin II.

Following.

Hu Hai hastily ascended the throne as Emperor II of Great Qin, and announced to the hundred officials: Fusu, Meng Tian, Wang Li, Meng Yi and others were rebellious, and had led the Shangjun army to kill Xianyang and wanted to seize the throne.

Hu Hai also ordered Zhang Han to be a general, and gathered Lishan prisoners, slave sons and 100,000 Qin Ruishi who guarded Xianyang to annihilate the rebellious army of Fusu and Mengtian.

In addition, Hu Hai also arranged for the burial of the body of the First Emperor.

Soon, the news of Qin Shi Huang's death, the eldest son Fusu and his son Hu Hai competed for the throne, and Daqin fell into civil strife, spread throughout Daqin.

……

On the straight road from Shangjun to Xianyang, the Black Dragon Banner covers the sky and the sun, and the 200,000 Great Qin Ruishi led by Zhao Fusu and Meng Tian stretches for dozens of miles.

Zhao Fusu straddled the divine horse Wu Qi, looked ahead, and asked, "General Meng, how far are we from Yangzhou City?" ”

Yangzhou City is a place that must be passed through to Xianyang.

Meng Tian saluted and said, "Eldest son, in two more hours, in the evening, the army will be able to arrive in Yangzhou City." ”

Zhao Fusu bowed his head and said to himself: "I don't know, are the county commanders and county lieutenants of Zhoucheng in Nayang willing to surrender to this son?" ”

Before him, he had sent his generals to lobby the county commander and county lieutenant of Yangzhou City, but the people he sent had not yet returned.

"The eldest son, if the last will be the county commander and county lieutenant of Yangzhou, he will definitely open the city gate to welcome the army!" Meng Tian said.

At this moment, several horsemen galloped from the direction of Yangzhou City, and stopped in front of Zhao Fusu and Meng Tian.

"Meet the eldest son, General Meng!" They were the generals and soldiers sent by Zhao Fusu to lobby the Yangzhou County Order.

"It's all exempt!"

Zhao Fusu looked at the general and said, "What is the attitude of the county commander and the county lieutenant of Yangzhou?" ”

The general's face was happy and said: "Prince, the county commanders and county lieutenants of Yangzhou are willing to be loyal to you and listen to your dispatch!" They have prepared food and wine to welcome the arrival of Gongzi and General Meng! ”

When Zhao Fusu and Meng Tian heard this, smiles also appeared on their faces.

"Color!!

Zhao Fusu said happily: "Order the army to advance at full speed and go to Yangzhou City!" ”

"No!" The heralds immediately went to deliver orders to the army.

In the evening.

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhao Fusu and Meng Tian led the army to arrive in Yangzhou City as scheduled.

The county commander and the county lieutenant of the city really opened the city gate early and led the people of the county to welcome their arrival.

Seeing this, the Great Qin Rui soldiers were quite happy.

Zhao Fusu was also smiling.

As the first city on the way he led his army to King Qinwang of Xianyang, it was indeed a happy thing to be able to surrender without blood, and it was a good start.

This made the whole army more confident about going to King Qinwang in Xianyang.

Suddenly, the sound of cold machinery sounded in Zhao Fusu's ears.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission..."
