Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Edict

And what a coincidence!

Zhao Gao's sworn enemy, the actual person in charge and the number one leader of the First Emperor's Great Patrol of the World.

He was ordered to return to Shanyang, pray for the first emperor, and pray for the blessing of the first emperor.

In other words, in fact, the top decision-makers of the current team are only themselves, Li Si, and Zhao Si.

Meng Yi is gone! Zhao Gao is also the hand of the ministers, and most of the ministers who serve him are in charge of Zhao Gao.

And Zhao Si seems to be in charge of the first emperor's personal service now, but these powers stem from the first emperor's closeness to Zhao Si and are based on the first emperor's trust.

Zhao Si himself is just a small squire, a Lang official without any specific duties and powers.

So, without this trust and closeness, what would Zhao Si have?

It's just a squire, and before he gets into the high position of the Che Fu Order, it's really not enough to see.

So, once the First Emperor really died......

Zhao Si's so-called power will immediately turn into a cloud of smoke, so in this extreme case, Zhao Si will be reduced to the bottom in an instant.

In extreme cases, there are actually only two top decision-makers left in this team.

himself, and Zuo Xiang Lis.

Oh, there is also the eighteenth prince Hu Hai, but this is no difference, Zhao Gao has a hundred ways to persuade Hu Hai to let Hu Hai and himself stand on the united front.

Zhao Gao rubbed his eyebrows, and a crazy and bold plan flashed through his mind.

This crazy and bold plan made him forget Zhao Si's disrespect and inexplicable hostility towards him for a while.

It doesn't matter, once he loses the trust and closeness of the First Emperor, Zhao Si is nothing!

And next, Zhao Gao's primary goal is to keep his power, it's not enough to keep his power, since they are already crazy and bold, it's better to be bolder!

Of course, Zhao Gao is not a blindly optimistic person, and he knows that this crazy and bold plan must be built on a premise.

That is, the First Emperor really died in the sand dunes.

This crazy and bold plan fascinated Zhao Gao.

At first, he just wanted to keep his power and status, but later because of the last warning of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao was dissatisfied and began to have some disrespectful thoughts.

It was not until later that the first emperor was bedridden.

From the time when he began to take charge of the power of using the seal, the kind of time when all the major events in the world were stamped by himself.

All kinds of emotions, pent-up grievances, and forgotten hatred, mixed with ambition, began to wantonly devour Zhao Gao's heart.

"I just want to ...... One-step...... One step ......" Zhao squeezed his palm violently.

At this moment, he desperately hoped that the First Emperor would be able to die like this.

He even wanted to take the initiative to help the First Emperor speed up the process, but he couldn't and couldn't.

Zhao Si is now guarding everyone like a mad dog, anyone or anything enters the First Emperor's bedroom, Zhao Si has to sniff it with his dog nose several times before putting it in, and even he sleeps at the door of the First Emperor's bedroom.

In the past two days, Zhao Si has even taken the initiative to carry the halberd given to him by the First Emperor, and has been taking the initiative to guard the palace and never leave.

The most terrible thing is that this mad dog is holding a halberd, and every time he looks at himself, it seems that he is studying which direction to divide himself in two is more convenient and convenient.

"Heh......" Zhao Gao let out a sneer.

He doesn't mind, he really doesn't!

The next thing he had to do was not let the mad dog grab the slightest bit of his handle.

Then wait for the verdict of fate!

If fate is on his side, then he will give Zhao Si the most fatal blow at the most critical moment.

He is sure to persuade Hu Hai, and he is sure to persuade Li Si.

He knows Hu Hai very well, he also knows Li Si very well, and he knows Fusu even better!

Thinking about everything clearly, Zhao Gao got up and lay on the bed at this time, and fell asleep safely.

And Zhao Si didn't sleep very peacefully.

I don't know what the reason is, Zhao Si woke up repeatedly all night.

Until the middle of the night, there were exclamations and panic from the palace people, and Zhao Si rushed in and got an extremely bad news.

The First Emperor! Fallen into a coma!

Zhao Si urgently summoned Xia Wuhe and the accompanying imperial doctor overnight.

All the imperial doctors are helpless!

Xia Wuhe was still worried.

This coma is two full days, and Zhao Si and Xia Wuhe are on duty in shifts.

"For two whole days, not a drop of water went in...... Doctor Xia, is there really no way to make His Majesty wake up? Zhao Si frowned and looked at Xia Wuji.

Zhao Si tried to feed water and food, but he couldn't feed it at all.

When the shift was changed, according to Xia Wuhe's description, the First Emperor did not show the slightest sign of awakening, and now his breathing was even getting weaker and weaker, and Zhao Si's heart was disorganized.

If this continues, the First Emperor will not die of illness before he dies of hunger and thirst.

"Now, even if Bian Que is alive, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to heaven." Xia Wuhe shook his head heavily.

Zhao Si was silent and looked at Xia Wuhe deeply.

"Is there really nothing that can be done?" Zhao Si frowned, at this time, his mood strangely calmed down, and he began to think about what he should do next.

"I can administer needles to His Majesty...... Stimulate His Majesty to wake up, but once the needle is applied, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to save the immortals. Xia Wuhe was silent for a long time before he spit out a fact that Zhao Si was unwilling to accept.

Zhao Si was puzzled, but he had seen similar episodes in his previous life, he didn't know about traditional Chinese medicine, but in his cognition, traditional Chinese medicine may indeed have this kind of means.

Let people forcibly return to the light?

And then calmly run to death?

Zhao Si was unwilling to accept this fact, and after being silent for a long time, he shook his head: "Wait a little longer...... Wait, Your Majesty Jiren has his own heavenly appearance. ”

Zhao Si shook his head heavily.

He is still unwilling to make such a gamble, and Zhao Si is not qualified to make such a decision, this kind of decision must be set by the three ministers and the nine ministers.

It makes sense to forcibly let the First Emperor return to the light, because the First Emperor has not yet arranged for his posthumous affairs, and has not even determined the prince, which is a very important thing for the country.

However, Zhao Si did not allow anyone to make this decision in place of the First Emperor.

Even if the first emperor's final outcome is to die in a coma, but before that, he has to give the first emperor one last chance.

"Doctor Xia should have never learned this needle!" Zhao Si said seriously.

Xia Wuhe didn't speak, just turned his head and leaned against the railing and looked at the First Emperor quietly.

It's not that Xia Wu doesn't want to speak, it's really that he's a little embarrassed.

How so?

Zhao Si's emotions are too sincere, so that Xia Wuhe is a little unable to face and hide it.

In the following time, Li Si visited the First Emperor several times, and Zhao Gao took the eunuchs to wait by his side and never left.

Zhao Si was not idle, he had already begun to plan from which angle to kill Zhao Gaoyi.

As long as the First Emperor breathes, Zhao Si will definitely send Zhao Gao down as soon as possible to continue to give the First Emperor Zhongche Fu Order.

In the dormitory, the First Emperor lay quietly on the bed, without the slightest movement.

Zhao Si stood at the head of the bed, Zhao Gao stood at the end of the bed, a group of ministers served not far from the side, and Xia Wuhe was also waiting in the house.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Time is spent in a long wait, but the purpose of waiting for those present is not clear.

Until the sky is dark again, and it is late at night!

Under the dim candlelight, Zhao Si keenly caught the first emperor's eyelids trembling slightly, and he hurriedly squatted down and called softly.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? ”

Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Si quietly, this scene was not the first time it had happened, it was not the first time that the first emperor's eyelids had fluttered, every time Zhao Si had to call, but every time he didn't wake up.

Xia Wuji's answer was clear to him, and he had basically given the First Emperor a verdict.

At this moment, he felt a little pity for Zhao Si.

Once the First Emperor dies, he will never be able to open his eyes again, and everything Zhao Si has will turn into a cloud of smoke.

That crazy and bold plan, seeing that there was room for implementation, Zhao Gao's heart fell into excitement.

However......

The flutter of the First Emperor's eyelids became more and more intense!

Seeing this, Zhao Si hurriedly opened his mouth and called again......

Zhao Gao's expression froze, and a situation appeared that he didn't want to see.

The First Emperor, open your eyes!

"Zhao Si!"

The First Emperor's extremely weak voice rang out.

Zhao Si hurriedly leaned in and spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister is here!" ”

The First Emperor dragged his long body as if it was about to collapse.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Two days!" Zhao Si hurriedly replied.

The First Emperor's eyes closed again, and he was silent for a long time, and Zhao Si didn't dare to disturb the state of the First Emperor.

"What about Zhao Gao?" It was a long time before the First Emperor opened his eyes and spoke softly again.

"The minister is here!" Zhao Gao hurriedly replied.

"Go get the seal...... the first emperor raised his hand slightly, as if to arrange the future.

Zhao Gao was busy getting the big seal and jade seal.

"Zhao Si, go get the edict, study the ink, and draft the decree on behalf of me......"

When Zhao Si heard this, his heart had sunk to the bottom.

The awakening of the First Emperor did not bring good news.

Perhaps it was a strong obsession that supported this man to reluctantly open his eyes again, overdrawing the last trace of vitality, the first emperor, it was clearly a plan, and he planned to establish a prince.

Zhao Si was silent and took the silk and wrote the ink.

"With the soldier's family Meng Tian, and the funeral will be buried in Xianyang, with Fusu as the reserve, to tell the world."

The First Emperor's body looked weak, and he didn't even say much about the content of the edict.

At this time, I didn't care about any ornate stylistic format, but simply talked about what happened after the death.

"Is it written?" The First Emperor asked.

"It's written!" Zhao Si held up the edict and approached the first emperor.

The First Emperor looked at it for a long time, and seemed to be barely squeezing out a smile.

"You still have to practice!"

Zhao Si forcibly squeezed out a smile when he heard this: "Recently, there has been less supervision from His Majesty, and I am slacking off......"

Before he finished speaking, the First Emperor was silent.

Zhao Si put down the edict and took a closer look, only to see that the First Emperor had fallen into a coma again.

Breathing, compared to before, is also weaker, sounding like it is something and may be interrupted at any time.

The life of the First Emperor seems to be coming to an end......
