In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, in the calm Yellow Sea, Xu Fu can no longer see the figure of Xu Fu's return, the first emperor will go to Langyatai every day to stop and watch, but unfortunately, waiting for him, is always disappointed and endless waiting, maybe annoyed, maybe unwilling, in half a month, the first emperor's physical condition plummeted, finally, these days, the first emperor fell ill.

On the bed, the first emperor closed his eyes slightly, his wheezing was uneven, and occasionally phlegm was blocked in his throat, and the first emperor would feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

On this eastern tour, the first emperor left the right prime minister Feng to sit in Xianyang, and took his second son Hu Hai to go out on a parade, also to give his son Hu Hai a chance to see the world, so that he is no longer obsessed with beautiful women, and can stand up half of the Qin State, at this time, Zhao Gao said softly: "Your Majesty, Hu Hai Gongzi has come to see you." ”

The First Emperor slowly opened his eyes, he looked at Zhao Gao on the side, and asked, "Who is here?" ”

The first emperor's thinking was much slower than before, this was a harbinger of old age and decay, Zhao Gao sighed lightly, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he couldn't help but remind again: "Gongzi Huhai, come to see you." ”

The First Emperor nodded slightly, and Zhao Gao shouted outside the door: "Your Majesty has a decree, Hu Hai will see you." ”

Hu Hai took a bowl of medicine and walked in slowly, this is Zhao Gao's suggestion, let Hu Hai get closer to the first emperor, no matter whether he can recover this time, he must let the first emperor admit himself, only the first emperor admits himself, and his hope of winning the heir will be greater, at this time, Hu Hai has come to the first emperor, holding the medicine bowl high with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Father take care of the dragon body, take the medicine first." ”

The First Emperor nodded with satisfaction, looking at Hu Hai, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, perhaps, he was really old, he began to feel that his physical strength was gradually exhausted, I don't know why, the First Emperor felt that he was particularly nostalgic for Guanzhong at this time, and especially wanted to go back there, is this the fallen leaves returning to their roots?

The First Emperor faintly felt that death was slowly approaching him, what was the hegemony of the world, what immortality, at this time, these were getting farther and farther away from himself, like floating clouds, drifting uncertainly, the First Emperor began to understand in his heart, what is family affection, what is care, these years, he has too little communication and interaction with his children......

Wandering all over the world, the first emperor's thoughts are getting farther and farther away, in front of his eyes, the figure of the queen mother appeared, although she made a big mistake, but after all, she is her own biological // mother, her own queen mother, and the father Lu Buwei who assisted him in the rich and powerful Qin State, the rumors of him and the queen mother, are they true or false? If it was true, the First Emperor began to feel that he had once seemed to have given up the most precious family affection in the world.

Just when the First Emperor was thinking nonsense, Hu Hai said softly beside him: "Father, let's go back to Xianyang, recuperate there, and my father's health will definitely be fine." ”

Xianyang, this place, the first emperor felt that he was suddenly very eager to go back, at this time looking at his son's expectant eyes, the first emperor nodded hard, Hu Hai handed the medicine bowl to the maid on the side, and the maid began to feed the first emperor medicine, at this time, Hu Hai turned around and drank Zhao Gao: "Order, drive back to Beijing." ”

。。。。。。

The team marched towards Xianyang, rolling up the dust, fluttering in the air, you can imagine, how urgent they were to return to Xianyang this time, the people along the way have avoided it, some of them could not avoid it, they were knocked down by the horses, and died under the chaotic hooves.

The crying was endless, at this time, the first emperor's Luan car had already traveled to the plain area, and the first emperor in the car, at this time, his condition was getting worse day by day, at this time, he was completely unable to get up.

Several of the serving maids are sad, if the first emperor dies, they will be funeral goods, young life will disappear with the first emperor, and Zhao Gao on the side is also worried at this time, if the first emperor dies on the road, I am afraid that Xianyang will move // chaos, Gongzi Fusu will take the opportunity to go south, he still has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if he raises his arms and shouts, Guanzhong area, I am afraid they will respond.

He also has the general Meng Tian under him, if Meng Tian personally commands the army, will Hu Hai be their opponent?

The First Emperor lying on the sickbed was also uneasy, he felt that his life had burned out, like an oil lamp, the lamp oil was about to dry up, perhaps, the old man's words were true, the will of heaven was hard to disobey, the First Emperor had tried to sit up several times, he refused to accept old age, he didn't want to die, but he really didn't have the strength to sit up, even if someone next to him helped him up, he couldn't make him support his huge body alone.

At this time, the bump of the carriage made the first emperor feel dizzy, and his eyes gradually fell on the heirloom jade seal, where did the strange old man come from, the vast Qiantang River, if you want to find this jade seal, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is unimaginable, how did he get it.

And this jade seal will be a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Qin State, he is a little remorseful at this time, if he dies, how to pass the throne to Fusu? Hu Hai's character is very well understood, with his current qualifications, he can't afford to carry the Qin State, and the foundation of the Qin State for thousands of generations can only be laid by Fusu, and he has no chance.

Thinking of this, the first emperor began to blame himself, why did he want to transfer Su to the north in the first place, let him go to the prison army Mobei, now that his limit is approaching, it is difficult to transfer him back, thousands of miles away, it is not possible to arrive overnight, but while he is still conscious, the first emperor believes that he must make a will as soon as possible.

The First Emperor gasped, he wanted to get up again, but his weak body still made the First Emperor unable to move, he had to reluctantly stretch out his right hand, pointing to the parchment roll not far away, his eyes aimed at Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed over and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

The First Emperor opened his mouth slightly, he wanted to tell Zhao Gao, pass the decree, and immediately transfer back to Fusu, but a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, the First Emperor opened his mouth for a long time, but did not say a word, but gave himself a red face and a thick neck, at this time, Zhao Gao found a vision, he hurriedly beat the back of the First Emperor, and a mouthful of sticky phlegm was coughed up, but it was followed by a few mouthfuls of blackened blood, and the First Emperor screamed and fainted.

"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Inside Luan's drive, the anxious shouts of everyone and the sound of busy footsteps sounded.

At night, nearly 300,000 Qin troops set up a large camp in the plains, a team of scouts rushed out of the camp, patrolling around, every 100 people as a team, under the leadership of 100 chiefs, strictly guard every corner of Dazhai, and at this time, in the Chinese military tent, the first emperor is still in a coma, several old imperial doctors are anxiously wandering, they have acupuncture, under // medicine, but the first emperor has not woken up yet.

In an inconspicuous corner, Zhao Gao secretly ordered a few chamberlains, and the chamberlains hurried back to the First Emperor's tent, and Zhao Gao left quickly and headed for Hu Hai's camp.

In the camp, singing and dancing, a few musicians, a few singers are singing, two delicate // tender girls snuggled in Hu Hai's arms, soon, Zhao Gao walked in quickly, the scene in front of him was in his eyes, he couldn't help coughing dryly, Hu Hai was slightly displeased, but at this time, he didn't dare to offend Zhao Gao, so he had to send everyone away.

There was a brief silence in the big tent, Zhao Gao looked at Hu Hai in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, the first emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and he may die on the road at any time, and Hu Hai actually has the heart to tease beauties in the tent, listen to songs and drink, and play with women.

But Zhao Gao couldn't say this on the bright side, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart, sighed lightly, came to sit down opposite Hu Hai, and said softly: "Your Majesty's illness is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid it's just a matter of the past few days, we must plan the way back as soon as possible, otherwise, once there is a late regret." ”

When Hu Hai heard this, he was also a little anxious, looked at Zhao Gao, and said urgently: "Please teach me, teacher." ”

Zhao Gao nodded, pointed to the direction of Luan's tent and said: "We are currently in two major crises, first, once Your Majesty establishes Fusu as the crown prince, everything we have carefully arranged over the years will be destroyed, and second, if Your Majesty dies on the way, Xianyang will be turbulent. ”

Zhao Gao's words made Hu Hai slightly surprised, so he has no chance? Looking at Zhao Gao's slightly narrowed eyes, Hu Hai saw that it seemed that Gao Gao had already had a belly case, just now, he should have scared himself first, and then said the plan, thinking of this, Hu Hai had to put down the child's shelf, got up and bowed in front of Zhao Gao, and said respectfully: "The teacher is above, please teach the student to bow." ”

"Childe, why is this!" Zhao Gao pretended to be surprised, hurriedly got up and helped Hu Hai, and the two sat down again, at this time, Zhao Gao said softly: "Judging from the current situation, we must set off overnight and rush back to Xianyang, as long as we return to Xianyang, we will be safe." ”

"But if the eldest brother Fusu gets the news and raises troops to come, what if it's good?" Hu Hai was still a little worried, but Zhao Gao laughed and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have secretly arranged it, the news that Your Majesty is seriously ill will not be spread, but it can't be too long, otherwise, once it spreads, it will be difficult for us to control the situation." ”

Hu Hai nodded, at this time, Zhao Gao got up again and paced in the tent, after a short period of contemplation, Zhao Gao said: "Only by taking a two-pronged approach, can we have greater hope, right now, Zhang Han has 200,000 Chinese troops in his hands, he is already our person, but Li Si, he is cunning, I dare not guarantee that he will be towards Gongzi, and this person must be encircled to be safe." ”

At this time, Hu Hai's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and he said coldly: "If he refuses to submit to me, I will kill him and never suffer in the future!" ”

Zhao Gao shook his hand and said: "Your Highness must not be reckless, with Li Si in charge, we can firmly control the situation, at that time, even if Your Majesty really inherits the throne of Fusu, we don't have to worry, after all, how the holy decree is written, whether it is issued or not will be in our hands." ”

Hu Hai was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Does the teacher have a belly case?" ”

Zhao Gao nodded and smiled: "I will find a way to win over Li Si, Your Highness doesn't have to worry." ”

Soon, the hearty laughter of the two resounded in the hall......
