Prison.

This is a revisit to Huhai.

It's just that this imprisonment is completely different from the previous imprisonment.

Before he was imprisoned, he knew very well that he would be fine, and his mentality was very relaxed and casual.

But this time.

He couldn't have any more ease.

After only two days in prison, the whole person was haggard.

Although he was not treated inhumanely in prison, nor was he deprived of food, his state of mind was completely different.

Such a Hu Hai, full of fear.

He sat in the corner blankly.

My heart was full of remorse and pain and helplessness.

He regrets it now, why did he let Zhao Gao go in the first place? Why is it constantly thorough? Why do you still think about old love? Ji Heng clearly reminded himself many times before? And why didn't you listen at that time?

Otherwise, why not?

Now he is completely hated by his father.

I was involved in a serious crime, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid that no one will speak for them, and this is a murder of the king and a usurpation, who dares to protect himself? My father was already in poor health, and after suffering this blow, I was afraid that my body would be even more haggard, and I really deserved to die.

Hu Hai had already cried without tears.

Wash your face with tears for a long time.

He leaned against the wall in a daze, despair in his eyes.

He knew he was done.

It's completely over.

No one can save themselves, and no one can save themselves.

Thinking of all this that happened to him, Hu Hai's eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of resentment, and he scolded: "Zhao Gao, I, Hu Hai, don't share the sky with you, I believe in you and respect you so much, why do you have to put me to death?" I've given up a long time ago, why are you just going to hurt me. ”

"Why?"

"Why do you want to harm your father?!"

“.”

Hu Hai collapsed to the ground.

Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes again.

The hatred in his heart had already reached the extreme.

If Zhao Gao was in front of him at this moment, he would definitely want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, otherwise it would be difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.

He was so miserable by Zhao Gao.

It's just that

In the end, Hu Hai lost his voice.

In fact, he also knew that the reason why he repeatedly let Zhao Gao go was because he was unwilling, but he didn't want to admit it, so he knew that Zhao Gao had a problem, and pretended not to know, so he turned a blind eye here.

What happened to him now is also self-inflicted.

If he had given up on Zhao Gao early and completely broken his mind, he would not have been able to go now.

It's just that he himself is not resolute.

The only thing he couldn't believe was that Zhao Gao dared to fight the idea of the First Emperor.

"Father."

"Erchen is so scared now."

Hu Hai didn't know how long he had been in prison.

I don't know how long I've been crying.

When the eunuch came to pass the word, Hu Hai didn't even wake up, and only when the eunuch shouted several times in succession did Hu Hai wake up from the state of confusion and nightmarishness, and when he heard that the first emperor was going to summon him, his originally cloudy eyes suddenly became energetic.

He didn't care about the withered grass on his body, and followed him out of the prison door with excitement on his face.

Near Xianyang Palace.

Hu Hai's heart became nervous again.

It had been a long time since he had been so nervous.

He has walked this road many times in the past, but this time, the feeling is particularly strong.

He walked apatheously.

It's just that when he walked to Xianyang Palace, he saw many brothers and sisters kneeling outside the hall, Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know what happened, but he roughly guessed in his heart that he could make so many brothers and sisters kneel together, but he was afraid that they were all for themselves.

That's it.

Hu Hai, who originally felt abandoned, couldn't control it at all and cried loudly.

The cry was heartbreaking.

Looked at.

Fusu and others were full of emotion.

Today's Hu Hai is not extravagant.

The face is full of vicissitudes and tiredness, the whole person seems to be old, there is dry grass all over his body, his clothes are unclean, and his hair and beard are very messy.

A few days in jail.

Hu Hai has completely changed.

It was as if he had been tortured in prison.

Fusu looked at Hu Hai with indifferent eyes, and said softly: "Hu Hai, my father is waiting for you in the palace, go in." ”

Hu Hai nodded.

He faced Fusu and the others, solemnly and solemnly, and bowed heavily.

Hu Hai's voice trembled and said, "Hu Hai has let your brothers and sisters worry about it. ”

"Hu Hai knows that he is wrong."

said.

Hu Hai broke down again and cried bitterly.

Fusu and the others were full of emotion, and the current Hu Hai seemed to have matured overnight.

It's just that his fate is not in his own hands.

but in the hands of the First Emperor.

His sin was too great and too serious.

Hu Hai got up from the ground with a crying face, and went to the door of the hall tremblingly, he didn't dare to walk in, but knelt directly on the ground, and said loudly: "Sinner Hu Hai, knock on your father, your father will be ten thousand years." ”

"Come in." Ying Zheng spoke indifferently and calmly.

Hu Hai knelt down and entered the hall.

He didn't dare to raise his head, lest the First Emperor see his embarrassed appearance and lose the face of the royal family.

Seeing Hu Hai's frightened appearance, Ying Zheng had mixed feelings in his heart, Hu Hai in the past was very jumpy, but now Hu Hai seems to have changed as a different person, no longer has the previous casualness and liveliness, and has become very cautious and dilapidated.

"Father, son-in-law is guilty." Hu Hai grabbed the ground with his head, and his body was very low.

Looking at Hu Hai's humble figure, Ying Zheng sighed heavily.

A long silence ensued.

"Do you know where the sin is?" Ying Zhengdao.

Hu Hai nodded tremblingly.

He said in a low voice: "The retainers dare not hide it, the sin is in desire." ”

"Erchen had noticed that Zhao Gao was wrong before, but he didn't think so, even if Ji Heng reminded him many times, he didn't take it to heart, because this is indeed a deliberate laissez-faire by Erchen, Erchen has always been dissatisfied with the eldest brother in his heart, so he will indulge Zhao Gao again and again, but Erchen has no thoughts about his father, all of Erchen's thoughts are just to fight for the position of the prince, this time Zhao Gao's matter, Erchen really doesn't know at all."

"Please see it."

"And what Erchen said yesterday is true."

"Erchen came here, and he was indeed instructed by others, and Erchen didn't know about it at all."

"During this time, Erchen has been busy making paper, wanting to emulate the second brother, third brother and others to seek a title for himself, and he has no intention of doing anything else, but Erchen really can't imagine that Zhao Gao has such wolf ambitions, he dares."

"How dare you try to harm your father."

"The retainers are terrified."

Hu Hai's voice was trembling.

He knows.

His words were not convincing, and they were too pale.

But that's exactly what he really is.

There is no half-sentence falsehood.

"Do you think you're better than Fusu?" Ying Zheng said coldly.

Hu Hai shook his head.

He said bitterly: "Erchen doesn't have this idea, it's just that in the past, Zhao Gao has been instigating Erchen to fight, and told Erchen over and over again the benefits of being on the throne, Erchen was young at the time, so he was bewitched by Zhao Gao, but in the past few years, after several contacts with Ji Heng and a better understanding of Daqin's national politics, Erchen has already broken this thought, and he also knows deeply that Erchen is not as talented as his eldest brother." ”

"The son also admits that he has selfish intentions."

"Ji Heng, who thinks that the eldest brother is just relying on him, is just that as his sons get older and learn more about some current affairs, they don't dare to have such thoughts anymore, so they have long been estranged from Zhao Gao this year, and they are rarely close to Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao can have today's ambitions and have an inseparable relationship with his sons."

"Erchen doesn't dare to shirk!"

"There is also the fact that my father and the emperor gradually do not pay attention to their sons."

"That's why the sons want to fight for the prince, and I want my father to care more about the sons."

Hu Hai didn't dare to lie.

He knew that the First Emperor had a strong sense of insight into things.

If you lie, the First Emperor will be able to see it at a glance.

Ying Zheng did not speak.

He looked at Hu Hai with a complicated expression, and his heart was already full of mixed feelings.

He could feel Hu Hai's fear, and he could also feel that what Hu Hai said was true.

Even.

Hu Hai's intention to compete for the crown is simple.

It's not for the so-called struggle for power and profit, just so that I can pay more attention to myself.

Compared with other princesses, Hu Hai has been more favored since childhood.

Therefore, all thoughts are based on preference.

Ultimately.

Step by step, it slipped down to this.

Hu Hai has become what he is now, and he is also inseparable.

Come to think of this.

Ying Zheng's heart throbbed violently.

Because this time, if it is true, the culprit is actually himself.

Because he abolished the harem system in the past, he also indirectly abolished the concubine system, which made the eunuchs lose their supervision, so that they could take advantage of it, and Hu Hai and other sons also took advantage of this to give birth to ambitions, and all kinds of contradictions between brothers also arose.

Even if Gongzi and others have no intention of power.

But in his position, as Fusu said, he is destined to be feared.

The seeds of mutual vigilance have long been planted, and it is completely wishful thinking to reconcile the Great Qin royal family, there is no difference between descendants, no distinction between nobles, and there is no too obvious rank and level, and the entire court is in a state of disorder and chaos, and everything depends on itself.

In this case.

How can you not slip into private fighting?

Under this kind of secret competition, it will eventually fight for the emperor.

This is also inevitable.

This time Zhao Gao's sudden attack is just a rehearsal of the future state of the court of Great Qin, if he opens a precedent of 'killing his son', I am afraid that the palace battle of Great Qin will become more cruel, and it will also become more bloody and cruel.

Murder of children and killing of brothers will also continue to occur.

Ying Zheng only felt that his eyes were dark.

The whole person was almost unstable, but fortunately, he was already sitting on the seat, holding the big case with both hands, so he didn't let himself fall.

But there was no trace of blood on his face.

He never imagined that his impulse would lead to such terrible consequences.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes, waved his hand at Hu Hai and said, "Go down." ”

"I'm a little tired."

"Father, my son is afraid." Hu Hai said timidly, his eyes were already full of tears.

It's just that Yingzheng didn't pay attention to it.

His mind is in turmoil right now, and he needs time to calm down.

Reorganize.

Hu Hai walked out of the hall in despair, Ying Zheng opened his eyes, looked at Hu Hai's back, and sighed heavily.

He may have been wrong.

"Perhaps it is indeed as Ji Heng said, I am the source of all the turmoil in Great Qin." (End of chapter)
