Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Death of Hu Hai
When Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, killed himself, and the news that Fusu took back Nanhai County reached Tan County, the seat of Donghai County, the puppet emperor Hu Hai was terrified, and Hu Hai was originally afraid of Fusu, but now Fusu has taken back Nanyue, and Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, has committed suicide, which makes Hu Hai like a frightened bird.
At this moment, Hu Hai had already realized that he or the three uncles and nephews of the Jiangdong Xiang family were very likely to be the next Zhao Tuo, and he was panicked for a while.
Instead of killing himself or being given death by Fusu, it is better to surrender to Fusu like Liu Ji, and he is Fusu's brother, and Fusu is known for his benevolence and righteousness, so he should not kill himself.
On the same day that Hu Hai learned the news of South Vietnam, Hu Hai summoned Zhao Gao to him and discussed with Zhao Gao about the surrender of Great Qin.
Zhao Gao opposed the surrender of Great Qin from the beginning, and he was even more angry at the moment, because he knew that Fusu would definitely not forgive himself after surrendering to Fusu, he was different from Hu Hai, Hu Hai was Fusu's brother, and there would naturally be a way to live after surrendering, but what about himself? Jiao Zhao forced Fusu to commit suicide, and instigated Hu Hai to ascend the throne, will Fusu bypass him?
Seeing that Hu Hai was going to insist on surrendering to Fusu, the hatred hidden in Zhao Gao's heart was activated again, and Zhao Gao began to brew an extremely crazy plan in his heart while pretending to cater to Hu Hai, and Hu Hai was still unaware of it at this time.
"Prime Minister Zhao, do you think my eldest brother will kill me after I surrender?" Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao and asked expectantly.
"Your Majesty is the younger brother of Gongzi, how could he kill you, if Your Majesty surrenders, Fusu will not be happy to die!"
Zhao Gao said to Hu Hai with a smile, but the trace of yin poison mixed in the smile was so distinct.
Poor Hu Hai was still bothering about the surrender of his eldest brother Fusu, and he didn't notice the trace of extreme viciousness revealed in Zhao Gao's smile.
"That's good......" Hu Hai said with relief.
"Prime Minister, I really can't wait, or we will lead the people to surrender tomorrow."
"Okay, since Your Majesty has said so, then the old minister will not object, tomorrow will be tomorrow."
After Zhao Gao squinted his eyes and glanced at Hu Hai, he agreed to Hu Hai's suggestion with a smile.
……
That night, Zhao Gao and his son-in-law Yan Le led dozens of relatives to the palace, and the palace guards saw that it was Zhao Gao and others, so they did not stop them, and let Zhao Gao and his party enter Hu Hai's dormitory.
After entering Hu Hai's dormitory, Zhao Gao immediately dismissed Hu Hai's personal guards, and when these guards left Hu Hai's dormitory, they were taken away by several Zhao Gao's personal entourage.
Seeing Zhao Gao coming, Hu Hai, who was originally lying on the bed and preparing to go to bed, sat up excitedly, thinking that Zhao Gao had come to discuss the surrender with him.
"Prime Minister, are you so anxious that you can't sleep, and you are ready to return to my eldest brother with my starry night?"
Because Hu Hai saw the soldiers behind Zhao Gao, he thought that Zhao Gao was going to take himself to find Fusu to surrender, after all, except for the surrender, there was nothing worth using dozens of soldiers for the time being.
"Yes, I'm here to see His Majesty on his way." Zhao Gaoyin said with a smile.
Seeing the ruthlessness revealed in Zhao Gao's smile, Hu Hai finally realized that something was wrong.
"Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?" Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao and asked in fear.
"Your Majesty, I won't hide it from you now, I don't want to surrender to Fusu, you are Fusu's brother, you can have a way to live if you surrender, but what about me? If you surrender, there is only one dead end. Since you are determined to surrender, then I have to kill you first. ”
"Prime Minister, I won't return to my eldest brother, you can do what you ask me to do, do you say okay?" Hu Hai hurriedly said to Zhao Gao in a low voice.
"It's not good, this is just your expedient measure, tomorrow you still have to surrender to Fusu, I can only rest assured if you die."
"Prime Minister, this emperor, I won't do it, if you come to do it well or not, I just ask you to give Hu Hai a way to live."
Hu Hai was about to cry in a hurry, and pleaded in a low voice.
After listening to what Hu Hai said, Zhao Gao thought for a moment, but finally shook his head helplessly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister respectfully sends Your Majesty on the road."
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Hu Hai's pleading, bowed down in front of Hu Hai, and gave his son-in-law Yan Le a look.
"Someone, someone...... guards...... The guards ......," Hu Hai shouted hoarsely.
Poor Hu Hai would have thought that the guards in this palace had all been retired by Zhao Gaoping, except for Zhao Gao's people, there was no one Hu Hai around the palace.
When Hu Hai shouted hoarsely, Yan Le put a looped rope noose around Hu Hai's neck, and the two Zhao Gao followers immediately began to pull the ends of the noose.
I saw that one of Hu Hai's faces gradually turned purple, revealing a look of pain.
In this short moment and like a century, many memories flashed in Hu Hai's eyes, including the bits and pieces of his relationship with Qin Shi Huang, as well as the deep brotherhood between him and Fusu;
One sunny morning, he and his sister Yin Yan were playing in Shanglin Yuan, and suddenly a wild boar came out, and in a panic, he left his sister and ran away alone, but fortunately, the guards appeared in time and shot the wild boar, but his sister Yin Yan was frightened. At this moment, their father and brother appeared, and after listening to what the guards said, Yingzheng was angry and wanted to punish Hu Hai.
At this time, Fusu blocked in front of him, blocking his father's punishment for him, Hu Hai looked at Fusu blankly, feeling that Fusu was so mighty, gradually, Fusu standing in front of Hu Hai blurred, endless darkness attacked him, Hu Hai shouted anxiously: 'Big brother ......, big brother ......'"
Seeing that Hu Hai was still muttering something, the two guards increased the strength of their hands.
After a while, I saw Hu Hai's face was blue, a pair of eyes bulged out, and there was no movement.
……
The next day, Zhao Gao informed the ministers of Hu Hai's death, but the cause of Hu Hai's death was said by Zhao Gao to be a sudden illness. Although most of the ministers did not believe the reason Zhao Gao said, they were not intimidated by Zhao Gao's obscenity, and no one dared to express their objections.
Zhao Gao also thought about establishing himself as the emperor, but he was afraid of Fusu's military might, so he had to find a child named Ying Kui from the Ying clan who came to Donghai County with Hu Hai and became the new emperor.
When the news of Hu Hai's death reached Fusu's ears, Fusu was furious, although Hu Hai was not a good emperor, but he was still his younger brother, even if Hu Hai was rebellious, Fusu did not think of giving Hu Hai to death, and now Hu Hai died tragically in Zhao's master, how could Fusu not be angry.
In view of Hu Hai's tragic death, Fusu began to consider a strategy to retaliate against Zhao Gao and others.
After a while, Fusu seemed to have thought of a way to deal with Zhao Gao and others, and ordered the guards beside him: "You go and call Han Chuan."
