Autumn is hot and cold, the corpse is easy to stink, especially the Qin army stepped up the road, the Luan Yu carrying the corpse was exposed to the sun, and it began to emit a foul smell, this smell began to arouse the suspicion of some people, but Zhao Gao is a smart person, he has been the first emperor's order to convey the whole army, each car must be hung with a basket, the basket is loaded with abalone, abalone itself is a fishy thing, so that many people can not smell the smell of the first emperor's car.

What's more, it is well known that the First Emperor was always a dictatorship, and even if he suddenly ordered everyone to load abalone, he would not attract the attention of others, but thought that this order must have come from the tone of the First Emperor.

Especially in Luanyu, the food is still the same every day, and the will of the first emperor is always transmitted from the car, and the approval will not be delayed in various places, just like that, Zhao Gao used the technique of mixing fish and pearls, confusing everyone, and half a month's trip, the Qin army turned from Jingcheng Pass to take the straight road and went straight to Xianyang.

When there was a locust plague in Guanzhong, the harvest was not good in various places, and the right prime minister Feng Qujian inspected the counties, hoping to survive the disaster year and avoid the displacement of a large number of victims, but at this time, a cavalry galloped over, dismounted at the edge of the field, and reported: "Prime Minister, there is an urgent official document." ”

Feng Qujian was very anxious when he saw that the people came, and a bad thought ignited in his heart, could it be that the rumors that the First Emperor was seriously ill on the way were true? Thinking so, Feng went to walk quickly, the book was sent by Hu Hai, the gist of the book, the first emperor was seriously ill and needed to return to the palace immediately, at this time Luan was about to arrive in Xianyang, and ordered Feng to take over immediately.

After reading the letter, Feng Qujian was in a hurry, and he couldn't care about the people in the field, so he took the reins from the hands of his entourage, turned over his horse, whipped his horsewhip, and headed in the direction of Xianyang, leaving only a lonely group of officials and a group of peasants, looking at each other at a loss, not knowing what was happening.

At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion was very lively, officials of all sizes arrived one after another, some well-informed, already knew that the first emperor was infected on the way, and some did not know, and thought that the right Prime Minister Feng Qujian had a plan to open a warehouse for disaster relief, in short, there was always a guess, chattering in the discussion of everyone.

Several government soldiers walked in with tea and began to drink tea on the table, the officials knew that this was a sign of the prime minister's coming, and began to stop talking with each other, returning to their positions, holding teacups, tasting the fragrance of tea, and thinking about the little Jiujiu in their hearts.

After half a pillar of incense, footsteps sounded outside the door, Feng Qu hurriedly walked into the hall, came to his place and sat down, he looked at everyone, and then said: "I just received the news that Your Majesty is not in good health, and the street must be blocked immediately to prevent people with bad intentions from rioting." ”

Feng Qujian said very tactfully, in fact, Hu Hai's letter said very clearly, the first emperor is terminally ill and must go back to the palace directly, otherwise I am afraid that Xianyang will change, but this news, he can't disclose it to everyone, in case it causes panic, at this time his words just blurted out, has caused everyone's discussion, the hall is as noisy as a vegetable market, it took a long time before Feng Qujian quieted down under Feng Quji's scolding.

At this time, Feng Qujian looked at the soldier in his left hand and asked, "How many troops are there in the palace at this time?" ”

The servant of the army called Shan Hong, and he replied: "Prime Minister, there are only 800 guards in the palace at this time, if you need it, I can temporarily recruit 1,000 people into the palace." ”

"1,000 people is too little, I order you, immediately recruit 3,000 people into the palace to guard, without His Majesty's edict and the approval of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one is allowed to approach Xianyang Palace, and those who dare to cross the line will be killed." Feng Quji's order was very decisive, but Shan Hong was in trouble, he was slightly embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "But Prime Minister, the day before yesterday, you had already transferred 5,000 troops from the forbidden army, and at this time, I don't have so many people in my hands!" ”

"Bang" Feng went to slam the table case, he scolded unhappily: "Dispatch troops to transport food and help the victims, do you have any complaints?" ”

"The last general will not dare." Shan Hong got up, looked at Feng Quji, and muttered: "Don't hide it from the Prime Minister, at this time, I only have 1,200 troops left in my hands, and if it is temporarily transferred, I am afraid that I can only transfer troops from Lishan." ”

Feng Qujian saw that Shan Hong really had no extra troops, so he had to bow his head and ponder, transfer troops from Lishan, this is absolutely not good, once Lishan moves, the consequences are unimaginable, thinking so, Feng Quji's eyes fell on Deng Wu, the general of Fenwei, thinking for a moment, Feng Qujian smiled and said: "Deng Wu, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands?" ”

Deng Wu saw Feng Qu and asked, so he had to give up his hand and say, "Back to the Prime Minister, I have 5,000 troops in my hands." ”

Feng Qujian was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but Deng Wu took the first step and said: "But Zhang Shaofu ordered before leaving, without Shaofu's handwritten order, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier." ”

Feng Qujian didn't listen, but after hearing this, he was furious, and he couldn't help but get up and reprimand: "No one can mobilize a soldier or a pawn? Don't you know that before Your Majesty leaves, let me be fully responsible for governing Xianyang, I have the power of life and death in my hands, killing a Zhonglang will be like crushing an ant to death, aren't you afraid? ”

When Deng Wu saw Feng Quji say this, he had to shake his head with a wry smile, and said with a fist: "Since the Prime Minister insists on transferring troops, I, Deng Wu, am willing to listen to the arrangement." ”

"You can teach." Feng Qu got up quickly, let out a long breath, and ordered: "You immediately allocate 2,000 soldiers and horses to Shan Hong, let him lead the army into the palace to guard, and the rest of the troops will go to Yunyang with us to pick up the driver." ”

Everyone sang the promise in unison, and followed Feng to the outside.

。。。。。。

Outside Yunyang City, thousands of Qin troops held high the military flag, lined up in the wind, hundreds of officials who stayed in Xianyang lined up in turn, not far away, on the wide galloping road, the scouts of the Qin army had already begun to appear, and after them, there were 100,000 vanguard troops who opened the road, and they had begun to march one after another, continuing to march south from the straight road.

Not far away, finally appeared the first emperor's Chinese army, the high banner, the magnificent Luanyu, the bright axe and the mighty chariot, the troops slowly moved forward, Feng Qujian saw Luanyu, immediately raised his hand, on the city tower, there was a roaring war drum and a low military horn.

"Chen Feng is going to get sick, long live my majesty the emperor, long live, long live." Feng Quji took the lead in kneeling, and behind him, the hundred officials and the army hula, knelt down together, at this time, Luan Yu and Feng Quji were less than a hundred steps apart, only to hear not far away, Zhao Gaolang shouted: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

Everyone thanked him, and at this time, Feng went to Luan Yu quickly, and after saluting, he asked, "The minister asks to see Your Majesty." ”

On the side, Hu Hai lowered his face and scolded: "Father Emperor Dragon's body is not safe, how can you wait to disturb it?" Don't quit yet! ”

Feng Qujian touched a nose of ash, had to turn back on his horse, followed Luan Yu from a distance, the vast army, from Yunyang County through the city, to the west of the Ganquan front hall, where to stay for a few days, the troops will bypass Zheng Guoqu, rush back to Xianyang.

Ganquan Palace, Zhang Han personally deployed troops, guarded the hall tightly, Feng Quji's temporary deployment of soldiers and horses were replaced, although everyone was extremely dissatisfied with this, and many people began to have doubts, but Hu Hai has firmly controlled the military power, and there are Zhao Gao, Li Si and Zhang Han's strong assistance, so no one dares to trespass into the palace.

At this time, there was a foul smell in the dormitory, the first emperor had been unrecognizable, and it was extremely ugly, although everyone was in the outer hall, they could also smell this suffocating smell, but the big thing was not done, as long as the news of Fusu's self-killing could not come for a day, everyone would not dare to announce the news of the death of the first emperor for a day.

Hu Hai paced in the hall, he had no intention of pampering the beauty again in the past few days, life and death were at stake, Hu Hai also became cautious, if Fusu refused to comply, I am afraid that things would become tricky, on the side, Zhao Gao was also thinking about this matter, he was not completely sure, this matter, can only be resigned to fate.

Seeing that Hu Hai was anxious, Zhao Gao walked over and arched his hand: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, the minister has already made arrangements, and everything is under control." ”

Although Zhao Gao comforted Hu Hai in this way, but in his own heart, he was already nervous, and soon, Zhang Han walked into the main hall, came quickly, beside him, followed by a person in gray clothes, when the person approached, Zhao Gao recognized that the person who came was Cheng Le, and this person could come back alive, indicating that things had progressed.

Sure enough, before Zhang Han walked in front of everyone, he laughed and said, "Your Highness, there is good news." ”

Zhang Han came to the front and handed Cheng Le a color, Cheng Le stepped forward and saluted everyone, and then reported: "Gongzi Fusu, he has already received the order to kill himself, and the inner history is Mengtian, he is only willing to hand over the military power, and he is not willing to kill himself, and the slave has already detained him in Yangzhou County Prison, leaving a hundred people to guard, which can be guaranteed." ”

Hearing the news, everyone sighed, and the worry in their hearts was swept away, Li Si was beside him, and couldn't help but look up and laugh, at this time, Zhao Gao walked up to Cheng Le, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I have worked hard for you, I will reward you heavily." ”

"Xie Da...... My lord" Cheng Le didn't finish speaking, a sharp dagger stabbed Cheng Le's heart, Cheng Le covered his heart, looked at Zhao Gao in surprise, took two steps back, everyone in the hall was shocked, at this time, Zhao Gao sneered and said: "You know too much, go with peace of mind, I will take care of your family." ”

Cheng Le was spitting and wanted to speak, but due to excessive blood loss, he soon fell to the ground and died, at this time, Zhao Gao looked at Li Si and Zhang Han on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Li, you go to arrange the funeral immediately, Zhang Shaofu, you immediately transfer troops into the palace to keep safe." ”

The two of them had recovered from the shock just now, and when they heard Zhao Gao's arrangement, they all handed over their orders and turned to leave, Zhao Gao looked at Hu Hai with a stunned face, and couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, you are going to ascend the throne in the next few days." ”

The throne of his dreams is close at hand, Hu Hai feels that everything is like a dream, Cheng Le's death just now is no longer important, it seems that only achieving the goal is the most important, looking at Zhao Gao, Hu Hai nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Zhao Gao and smiled: "This son ascends the throne, he will not treat Lord Zhao badly." ”

Both of them looked up and laughed.

Early in the morning, Zhao Gao summoned all the civil and military generals in the front hall of Ganquan and informed everyone of the unfortunate news that the first emperor had died of a serious illness last night......

The news of the death of the First Emperor soon spread throughout the country, and rumors spread everywhere, saying that the First Emperor wanted to pass on the throne to Fusu, but because Fusu was no longer Xianyang, he was usurped by Hu Hai, and this wind // wave became more and more intense, but no one knew that Fusu had killed himself.

At the beginning of August of the 37th year of Qin Shi Huang, Hu Hai ascended the throne under the support of the ministers, known as 'Qin II' and named Zhao Gao as Lang Zhongling, and the rest of the official positions remained unchanged, proclaimed the world, and buried the first emperor half a month later.
