Chapter 12 The "good deeds" done by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao in those years (Part 1)
Li Nian thanked En and said: "Thank you for your grace!"
He also wanted to see the First Emperor learn about Hu Hai and How will Zhao Gao react after what he did?
Organizing the words, Li Niandao said: "Before speaking, the common people would like to ask the king a question: Which prince does the king think will succeed Dabao and ascend to the throne after your death?"
As soon as this question came out, Meng Yi also looked at it sideways, secretly thinking that this person is really brave. This question involves two things that may anger the king: one is talking about the death of the king, and the other is the position of the crown prince.
Would a normal minister dare to ask the king so directly?
I’m afraid the family tree is too thick!
But this person came from later generations, and there must be a reason for raising this question. According to the names written by this person before he said it, could it be that the prince Hu Hai finally ascended to the throne?
At this thought, Meng Yi's heart tightened. The Meng clan had placed their bets on the young master Fusu. Although the king had not officially appointed the heir apparent, everyone knew that the king was interested in the young master Fusu.
But if Young Master Hu Hai comes to power in the future, where is Young Master Fusu? What happened to his Meng clan?
Thinking about this person asking him to send the bamboo slips by name, Meng Yi had a bad guess in his heart...
What Meng Yi could think of, Ying Zheng could also think of, he said: "I won't hide it from you either. , in my opinion, Young Master Fusu has inherited the great treasure. "
In fact, Ying Zheng is not very satisfied with Fusu, so he has not officially established a heir apparent for so many years. However, among the short ones, his other sons are even worse than Fusu. He has a good chance of succeeding in the throne. Eighty-nine still has to be given to Fusu.
This is what Ying Zheng really thinks in his heart, but according to this person's opinion, his idea should not have come true. Instead, Hu Hai won the big position.
Li Niandao: "Many people think so too, but unfortunately it was Young Master Hu Hai who ascended the throne in the end!"
Ying Zheng frowned and said: "You mean Hu Hai used some means to ascend to the throne? This matter also involves Zhao Gao, Li Si and others?"
Li Nian nodded: "Yes! Thirty-five of the First Emperor In 2006, the king killed illegal and illegal people. Prince Fusu wrote to the king to remonstrate with him about the sorcerer, but the king was furious and ordered Prince Fusu to go to Shangjun to supervise General Meng Tian and assist General Meng Tian in building the Great Wall to resist the Huns. "
The First Emperor?
Ying Zheng keenly noticed the word "First Emperor" and immediately realized that this must be a title for him, but was it given to him by later generations, or did he come up with it himself?
Ying Zheng thought it might be him. When he got the news that Qi Wangjian was taken to Xianyang that day, he thought that his achievements had surpassed those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and he should give himself a higher title - Emperor!
After taking a deep look at Li Nian, Ying Zheng became more and more convinced that Li Nian came from a later generation. His idea of calling himself "Emperor" had not been told to anyone else, but this person knew about it, and he must have learned it from history books.
But why did he trap and kill those warlocks?
Asking Fusu to go to Shangjun, he could see that this was not only a punishment, but it also allowed Fusu to learn about military affairs, get close to Mengtian, gain support from the Meng family, and prepare for inheriting the throne in the future.
Up to this point, Ying Zheng feels that there is nothing wrong with it. There should be no mistakes. So where is the problem?
Just listen to Li Nian say again: "From the perspective of the king, there should be no problem with this arrangement. Even if there is a problem, it is not a big problem. But this incident has caused a result-Master Fusu has stayed away. "You!" "The king is the lord of Da Qin. Although Fusu is the son, his power actually comes from the king. If he is far away from the king, it means that he is far away from the center of power of Da Qin, giving others opportunities to take advantage of."
Ying Zheng’s eyes suddenly condensed. He probably understood that Fusu’s power came from him. Naturally, he could also deprive Fusu of his status and power as a young master!
Usually, Fusu and he were both in Xianyang, so close that the father and son could meet and communicate about anything. Naturally, others would not dare to blatantly frame Fusu.
But if Fusu stayed away from him, he and Fusu would not be able to communicate directly and in a timely manner, which would give others the opportunity to frame Fusu. Even letting Fusu commit suicide.
Thinking of the latter point, even with Ying Zheng's ability to control his emotions, he couldn't help but look a little ugly, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the latter point might happen: Since Hu Hai conspired with Zhao Gao and Li Si to take power, then They will definitely try to pull out the biggest thorn in Fusu's side.
Anger arose in Ying Zheng's heart, both because he was angry at those people for being bold and because he was angry at Fusu for being stupid. He didn't need to think too much to know that those people must have falsely conveyed his will and asked Fusu to commit suicide. Otherwise, relying on Meng Tian's army in the north, even if Hu Hai He has become king and can defeat Hu Hai.
In this person's words, Hu Hai did ascend to the throne without being hindered by Fusu, so there is only one possibility - Fusu is dead!
'Stupid and pedantic, how could I give birth to such a foolish, loyal and filial son? ’
Having guessed the context of the whole thing, Ying Zheng was angry at Fusu for being so loyal and filial that he committed suicide because of a false decree. At the same time, he was also somewhat pleased that Fusu was so loyal and filial to him.
"In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign, the king once again toured the country. In the seventh month, he went to the sand dunes and fell seriously ill. He was killed in Che Mansion and ordered Zhao Gao to write a testament to Master Fusu. The edict was to ask Master Fusu to rush back. Xianyang presided over the funeral and inherited the throne."
"According to some information from later generations, the imperial edict had been sealed at that time, but before it could be issued, the king unfortunately passed away."
"After the death of the king, Zhao Gao, Prime Minister Li Si, Young Master Hu Hai and others People felt that an opportunity had come. They thought that since the king had passed away and the edict had not been issued, could they change it?"
"So a few people tampered with it? The king made a decree to make Prince Hu Hai the crown prince. At the same time, he forged the decree and gave it to Prince Fusu. He listed the crimes of Prince Fusu and General Mengtian in the imperial edict and ordered them to commit suicide."
"Your Majesty! With his talent, he should be able to guess the outcome. Young Master Fusu and General Meng Tian committed suicide, and Young Master Hu Hai succeeded to the throne!"
Meng Yi was horrified when he heard this. His brother Meng Tian actually died like this?
No, the death of his brother Meng Tian was just the beginning. The rest of the Meng clan might not be able to get a better outcome, including him.
'No wonder this person asked me to send that bamboo slip. If he trusts me so much, he is not afraid that I am also from Mr. Hu Hai's side...' Meng Yi thought to himself, and now he finally understood everything.
Fusu is dead, and the Meng clan who supported Fusu will naturally be liquidated. What's more, he has offended Zhao Gao and gave Zhao Gao a chance, so why not put him to death?
His fate will probably be the same as his brother - death!
Li Nian was a little disappointed. After he said this, the First Emperor was not furious and immediately asked Hu Hai to beat him up. But after thinking about it, he understood. Who can prove that what he said is true?
What if Li Nian deliberately fabricated it to frame the young masters Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si?
It is only normal that the First Emperor did not react immediately, which shows that he is calm and rational and will not be deceived by others with just a few words!
