Early in the morning, Hu Hai was sleeping soundly in the palace, and there was no morning today, according to his habit, he wanted to sleep a little longer.

The eunuchs and palace maids who had followed Hu Hai for a long time were very familiar with the habit of their masters, and no one dared to disturb him.

"Boom, boom", a sound of footsteps sounded, waking up Hu Hai in his sleep.

Getting up angry, Hu Hai couldn't help but shout outside the hall: "Where is Huang Companion? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a "bang", and a figure directly smashed through the temple door and rolled down into the hall.

Hu Hai looked at Huang Banban, who was stained with blood on his body and looked nervous, appearing in front of him in this way, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Huang Banban, what's going on?

Huang Banban saw that Hu Hai was safe and sound, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted eagerly: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Li Si is the opposite." Weichen just received the news that early in the morning, Li Si personally led the army straight into Chang'an City, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard who was on duty turned against him, and the defense of Chang'an City had fallen into Li Si's hands. ”

"The spy has come to report that Li Si and the army are already on their way to the palace, Your Majesty, the situation is serious, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Hu Hai's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he reacted half-loudly, trembling angrily: "Li Si, how dare Li Si, how dare he rebel?"

During this time, Hu Hai can be said to have suffered a lot.

A few days ago, he received news from the front line that Lin Ze's army was defeated by Chen Shi personally, and he was in danger, but he was worried in his heart.

Then Li Si sent someone to send news to repel Chen She, and Lin Ze, as the commander-in-chief, disappeared and was suspected of defecting.

Although Hu Hai had confidence in Lin Ze and thought that he would not defect, in his heart he believed that Lin Ze was in big trouble.

Li Si wrote about the rotation of the Praetorian Guard, Hu Hai knew about it, but he didn't care too much, in his opinion, whether to change it or not, he had the final say, even if Li Si played a little petty, what could he do?

To his surprise, Li Si turned out to be the opposite directly.

Well, after Hu Hai learned the news, his first reaction was that Li Si was against him because of the book.

Huang Banban said with an anxious face: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to investigate why Li Si rebelled, please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to summon the palace guards and the Praetorian Guards to escort them, and then spread the word to the world, so that the army Qin Wang everywhere can quell the rebellion." ”

As soon as Huang Banban said this, Hu Hai reacted, thought for a while and said: "As the prime minister of the empire, Li Si knows the situation of Daqin well, since he dares to rely on his Grandmaster realm cultivation and personally lead the army to rebel, he must have come prepared, and it is not so easy to quell the rebellion." ”

"Send someone to invite my teacher Zhao Gao, only the grandmaster can deal with the grandmaster, and only if he makes a move, can there be a glimmer of hope to stop Li Si. ”

"As for the army, let a few commanders gather their soldiers and garrison the palace gate, and delay as much as possible. ”

After recovering from the initial panic, Hu Hai analyzed rationally and came up with a countermeasure.

The panic on Huang Banban's face decreased slightly, and he bowed to Hu Hai and said, "Your Majesty is wise, the minister will do it." ”

After speaking, he immediately turned around, planning to find Zhao Gao.

However, as soon as Huang Banban walked out of the main hall, he happened to bump into Zhao Gao, who was stepping over, and said with a happy face: "Lord Tingwei came just in time, Your Majesty just mentioned you." ”

Zhao Gao nodded slightly, strode into the hall, bowed and saluted: "Minister Zhao Gao greets Your Majesty." ”

When Hu Hai saw Zhao Gao, his face showed excitement, and he ran over to help him up and said, "The teacher is here, I am relieved." Li Si rebelled and asked the teacher to help me quell the rebellion. ”

Zhao Gao followed Hu Hai's support, stood up straight, but said with a wry smile on his face: "Your Majesty looks down on the old minister, the old minister just got the news, Li Si's rebellion this time has been premeditated for a long time, in addition to the 500,000 troops outside the city, more than half of the Praetorian Guards in the city defected, and the civil and military officials supported eight or nine times out of ten, and even the Ying clan of Zongzheng Mansion planned to stand by and watch. ”

"The old minister has a Grandmaster realm cultivation, but he has no power to return to the sky!"

When Hu Hai heard this, the look on his face faded, and he felt cold, let go of Zhao Gao's arm, staggered, and took a few steps back, and said in disbelief: "Is I so unpopular?"

Zhao Gao hurriedly comforted: "It's not that Your Majesty is unpopular, but that Li Si is too treacherous, as early as the time of the first emperor, he had bad intentions and secretly accumulated strength. At present, taking advantage of the fact that His Majesty has just inherited the throne, he is in a rebellion, but he is stuck in a good time to rebel. ”

Hu Hai felt like his heart was numb, and he stepped forward again and grabbed Zhao Gao's arm, and asked with a hint of pleading: "Teacher, you teach me, what should I do to keep the country left by my father?"

Zhao Gao shook his head and sighed: "Li Si is powerful, and the only way to avoid it is to avoid it." ”

Hu Hai's face froze slightly, and he asked, "What is the edge of avoidance?"

Zhao Gao's eyes revealed a calmness: "Please give up Chang'an City, let Weichen escort Your Majesty away, and after arriving at a safe place, contact loyal and patriotic people, accumulate strength, and pacify Li Si in one fell swoop." ”

Hu Hai refused without thinking about it: "Impossible, my father taught the Great Qin Jiangshan to my hands, but I couldn't even keep Chang'an, how can he meet his father under Jiuquan every day?"

Zhao Gao was slightly stunned, and then persuaded bitterly: "Your Majesty should focus on the overall situation, if Your Majesty insists on not leaving, there will only be two results, one is to be harmed by Li Si, and the other is to be captured by Li Si." ”

"No matter what the result is, Your Majesty will completely lose the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, as the so-called stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, please think twice. ”

Hu Hai looked resolute and silent.

Zhao Gao glanced at Huang Banban, who was standing aside, and Huang Banban immediately understood, walked to Hu Hai's side, and knelt down: "Please Your Majesty take the Zongmiao as the priority and protect yourself." ”

"Your Majesty is the only one left in the blood of the former emperor, if your majesty has any accident again, so that the incense is cut off, how can your majesty explain to the first emperor? ”

"Besides, Your Majesty has only temporarily abandoned Chang'an City, and he may not be able to take it back in the future, please think twice. ”

Hu Hai's face was no longer as firm as it had been, and he began to hesitate.

At this time, several palace guards who were scarred all over hurriedly ran over, and shouted loudly as they ran: "Your Majesty, there is a traitor in the palace, the palace gate has been broken by the rebels, and it is about to be killed, Your Majesty go quickly." ”

Zhao Gao's face changed when he heard this, and he didn't care about Hu Hai, who was still hesitating, and directly grabbed his arm, suppressed his true qi, and led him to the sky.

"Your Majesty, I am offended, the old minister is deeply favored by the emperor, and he will never sit idly by and watch His Majesty die at the hands of the rebels. ”

Huang Banban saw that Hu Hai was taken away by Zhao Gao, and hurriedly turned around and followed, in his opinion, no matter where Hu Hai went, he had to follow him and take care of him.

Hu Hai, who suffered a sudden change, couldn't help but struggle a few times, and after struggling to no avail, he shouted angrily: "The teacher let me go, I want to kill those guys who eat inside and out, since I came to power, how have I treated them badly, they betrayed me one by one, it's really damned." ”

Zhao Gao was silent when he heard this, and only took Hu Hai to escape.

After struggling for a long time, Hu Hai knew that Zhao Gao would not let go of himself, so he stopped and asked calmly, "Where does the teacher want to take me?"

Zhao Gao pointed in a direction and said, "Shanglin Yuan." ”

Afraid that Hu Hai would not understand, Zhao Gao took the initiative to explain: "The terrain of Shanglin Yuan is complex, and it is not easy to be found when hiding in it, and the resources in Shanglin Yuan are abundant, which is enough for His Majesty to cultivate. ”

"The most important thing is that Shanglin Yuan is close to Chang'an City, which is convenient for Your Majesty to inquire about the news in Chang'an City, contact loyal ministers and righteous people, and when the time is ripe, Your Majesty can recapture Chang'an again. ”

Hu Hai took a long breath and said in great sadness: "It's all up to the teacher's arrangement." ”

……

In the second year of Qin II, Prime Minister Li Si rebelled, followed by many people, Li Si successively broke Chang'an, occupied Xianyang Palace, and the second was invincible, and under the protection of Zhao Gao, he fled alone.
