Japan.

Xianyang 'earthquake'.

Without any warning, without any warning, a large number of Qin soldiers appeared in the city, wantonly arresting all kinds of officials, from the families of important ministers of Jiuqing, down to ordinary officials and fighting officials, the arrest was extremely sudden, and the people in the city were not given any time to react.

By the time they realized what had happened, a large number of officials had already been in trouble.

It's just that no one knows what happened, and no one inquires.

The people in the city can see that what happened in the city this time is not trivial, even the important ministers of Jiuqing have an accident, and the matter is absolutely impossible to be small, and if you really think about it, you will definitely find that at least thousands of people in the city have been arrested and imprisoned.

More critically.

The First Emperor, who had been half-hidden behind the scenes, returned to the stage today.

He also regained power.

The on-the-go hunting campaign in the city continues.

There is no sign of stopping.

There are even more and more serious situations.

The people in Xianyang City and the people in the vicinity are full of curiosity about what happened today.

The magistrates, however, were silent.

Finally.

At sunset.

Someone got some news.

There were ministers in the court, taking advantage of the weakness of the First Emperor, to launch a coup d'état, only for the First Emperor to find out early and crush with it.

As soon as the news came out.

There was an uproar in Xianyang City.

All kinds of insults and wrath followed.

The first emperor is heaven in the hearts of the Qin people.

High.

No one is allowed to slander, let alone humiliated, and now someone dares to hit the first emperor with his idea, how can this not make the Qin people angry? And how to make the Qin people not feel righteous indignation?

It is rare for the Qin people in Xianyang to have the same attitude.

For the fugitives that the imperial court is arresting, they are all extremely active in denounce.

There was no stopping movement in the city.

Now.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

Fusu was kneeling in the hall.

He palmed his hands on the ground, his body trembling.

He already knew what happened in Zhangtai Palace before, and when he heard the news, the whole person was like a lightning strike, almost running, and the first emperor who went to see him did not dare to have any delay throughout the whole process, lest he make the first emperor suspicious.

It's just that when he heard the order of the first emperor, after finding out that Zhao Gao and others were in the same party, he would kill Zhao Gao and other officials together with Hu Hai, Fu Su was stunned.

Although he shouldn't have spoken out for Fusu at this time, he still gritted his teeth and wanted to fight for Hu Hai to live.

The first emperor, who was angry, didn't listen to him at all.

Full of only murderous intent.

Fusu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Father, the son of the emperor implores the father and the emperor to let the younger brother live, the son believes that Hu Hai does not know about the rebellion, Hu Hai's feelings for his father and the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon, how can he harm His Majesty at this time, the son thinks that there must be a hidden secret." ”

"Please ask my father to investigate strictly."

"How can I do it, it's your turn to teach?!" Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

"Erchen doesn't dare." Fusu's body trembled even more, his face turned even paler, and he said in shock and horror: "Erchen just thinks that Hu Hai may not really be involved in this matter, and it is really inappropriate to convict Hu Hai before the matter is clarified." ”

"The son hopes for the emperor."

"Shut up!" Ying Zheng suddenly slapped the case and shouted angrily, and then his face flashed a flush, revealing a touch of pain, and he gasped heavily, and gradually subsided: "The rights and wrongs involved in this coup d'état in the palace are involved, and I have my own plans in my heart, and I can't allow you to point fingers." ”

"You're looking like a brother and a brother at the moment."

"If I tell you, if I hadn't been alert and learned the news in advance, otherwise the I you see now is just a dead person, but you probably don't care at all, if I don't die, how can you care? You even wish I had died in Zhangtai Palace. ”

"Erchen has no such intentions." Fusu was sweating profusely.

"You defended Hu Hai, but do you know that Hu Hai and the others never thought of letting you go, they had already thought of replacing you, and even they said what they wanted to achieve in front of me, forged my 'edict', and directly abolished you, do you still want to intercede for Hu Hai now?" Ying Zheng's face sank, and he looked at Fusu coldly.

Fusu's face changed slightly.

He gritted his teeth, but he didn't speak.

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and continued: "Do you really think that this is all there is to it? ”

"You are the prince of Great Qin, you have been in charge of the government for many days, and your influence in the court is deepening, if Hu Hai replaces you, I am afraid that it will cause a burst of criticism in the court, so Hu Hai and others don't want you to live at all, Zhao Tuo has prepared soldiers and horses, and set up an ambush outside the Zhangtai Palace, as long as you appear, you will immediately order a random arrow to shoot you to death in the palace, as long as you die, the dragons are leaderless."

"He, Hu Hai, is the best candidate for Great Qin."

"With the support of Zhao Tuo, Hu Wujing, Yu Shide and others."

"Even if the court has objections and puzzles, he can still sit on the throne of the emperor."

"What's more."

"They have long had the idea of killing the king."

"If I hadn't learned the news in advance, hadn't arranged manpower in advance, with my current body and Zhao Gao's years of planning, how could I be Zhao Gao's opponent? Now I'm afraid that I have already died in the palace, and I can still give you the opportunity to make a big statement in front of me? ”

"You keep defending Hu Hai."

"But how much do you know about your brother?"

"He really doesn't dare to kill you?"

"If he takes the throne, do you think he will let you go? Let you go, the old prince? ”

Ying Zheng shouted angrily.

It is not only the indisputability of Nufu Su, but also the absurdity of Nufu Su.

It's ridiculous that everyone else has put their swords on their necks and still think about them.

How can such a prince succeed?

And

He also couldn't trust Fusu.

He can't trust anyone now.

Today's Fusu, in the eyes of Yingzheng, is all fake benevolence and false righteousness.

Fusu looked pained.

He didn't know how to defend himself.

But he understood that his father had already moved to kill.

If he can't dissuade himself, Hu Hai is afraid that he will really die.

Even, the father had already announced Hu Hai's death sentence, otherwise the father only needed to order a strict investigation, and then how could the officials really ignore Hu Hai's life or death? But the father didn't even check this time, and directly sentenced Hu Hai to death, which obviously didn't think about giving Hu Hai a way out.

Fusu bowed to the ground, and the mournful cry echoed in the heavy hall, and Fusu said with difficulty: "Father, the son really can't believe that Hu Hai will be involved in this matter, and the son always believes that Hu Hai has nothing to do with this matter, it is Zhao Gao and others who insist on going their own way, trying to drag Hu Hai into the water, and the son asks his father to investigate." ”

Fusu's forehead slammed heavily on the ground.

Looked at.

Ying Zheng's eyes were cold.

There was even a hint of disgust in his eyes.

He waved his sleeves, ignored Fusu's words, and said coldly: "Fusu, do you really think that I don't know your true thoughts? ”

"It's just to take advantage of this incident to seek political benefits for yourself, to spread the reputation of a brother and brother for the world, to obtain more political capital for yourself, and to establish an image of 'generosity and generosity' for these courtiers of Great Qin, I just disdain to debunk this trick of yours."

"Do you really think I can't see it?"

Hear the words.

Fusu was stunned for a moment.

He had never had such a thought.

I dare not have it.

He said with a frightened face: "Father, the son has no such heart, Hu Hai is his own brother, as my brother, how can I not save him when I die?" How can they calculate in such a matter? How can a son be such a disloyal person? ”

"The son is wronged."

Fusu knelt on the ground, already crying bitterly.

He was really scared.

There had never been a moment when he was so unfamiliar with the First Emperor, strange as if he were a living person.

He never thought that the First Emperor would see him like this.

Ying Zheng's expression was still indifferent, shaped like a wood carving, without any emotion, he said coldly: "Finished? After that, you can go out, I still have a lot of political affairs to deal with, as for the ones you handle, from now on, you don't have to be responsible, you can go down and reflect on it. ”

"When will I reflect clearly, and when will I come back to see me."

"Father." Fusu was in tears.

"Go down!" Ying Zheng directly shouted angrily, and he didn't want to listen to any more words from Fusu.

Fusu supported the ground with difficulty, stood up, with a look of grievance and pain, but when he saw that the first emperor's eyes were full of frost, he didn't dare to provoke the first emperor again, and finally opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything, and turned to leave.

Ying Zheng's face has not changed.

He coughed lightly a few times, but also regained his spirits and began to deal with tedious political affairs.

He can't trust anyone.

He can't trust Lees now.

Therefore, after the outbreak of the incident in Zhangtai Palace, he has taken back Li Si's power, and all political affairs in the court are handled by himself, and will never be handled by others again.

Also had to let.

Xianyang has fallen into turmoil.

Scorching heat in July.

At night, it is cool and pleasant.

The night sky was blue, the waning moon was hanging high, the breeze was blowing, blowing the leaves in the courtyard, and the well in the courtyard was also shimmering under the moonlight, and the irritating continuous cicada chirping during the day also stopped at this moment.

The seclusion between heaven and earth is intoxicating.

Ying Sinian set up a wooden plank in the courtyard, just lay on the plank, put a thin layer of coarse cloth on his body, and simply covered his stomach, just looking at the bright starry sky boredly.

At this time.

Ji Heng is back.

Walked out of the small courtyard on the side.

There was an extra yellowed 'paper' in his hand, which he rolled up and placed on the desk beside him.

Looked at.

Ying Sinian was curious: "Master, this paper has succeeded?" ”

Ji Heng shook his head and said, "It's just that I saw that Hu Hai didn't come back, so I collected it for him, so as not to rain and wet this paper, as for whether it is successful or not, it is better to leave it to Hu Hai to get it himself." ”

"Oh." Ying Sinian nodded.

Just when Ji Heng and Ying Sinian were chatting with each other, a quick knock sounded outside Ji Heng's door.

Fusu's voice came in eagerly.

"Mr. Ji, open the door quickly."

"Something is wrong."

"Please also ask Mr. to save Hu Hai."
