Chapter 681
During the emperor's eastward tour, the accompanying convoy intended to check the newly built straight road from the Jiuyuan Turnaround Pass, but now, it is stationed at the sand dune platform.
The emperor suddenly fell ill, which was unexpected by all the officials.
In the large tent, Li Si fell to his knees on the ground.It was a quiet night, not a single sound of wind could be heard outside.
"Li Si, how many years have you been with me?"
Li Si raised his head, and the former high-spirited emperor looked a little old, looking at him.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's been 40 years."
"It's been 40 years!" Qin Huang recalled the past, "When I first met you, you were just a small official in Lu Buwei's mansion. In the blink of an eye, it has been 40 years, how time flies!"
Li Si's hands trembled a little, and there was a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Your Majesty, take care!"
Qin Huang smiled softly and looked at Li Si.
"Why, do you think I can't do it?"
Years of residual prestige made Li Si suddenly sober. The person in front of him was still a peerless emperor who had killed millions of corpses in a fit of anger.
"No, no, no, no! Your Majesty has no period for ten thousand years, and the holy life lasts forever!"
The emperor of Qin spoke ill of death, and none of the ministers dared to speak.But Qin Huang at this time was in a different state from before.
"In fact, I know in my heart that there is no one who can live forever in this world. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors have only heard that the sun and the moon are eternal, and I have never heard of anyone who can live forever. However, I am worried about this Great Qin."
"His Majesty!"
Li Siji bowed his head and pressed his head firmly to the ground.
"Today, I want to hear what is in your heart. What should be done to the king of future generations?"
"Chen...Chen..."
"Why, you, Li Tonggu, are also sometimes speechless? No matter what you say today, I will forgive you for your innocence."
Li Si took a deep breath, bowed again, and when he raised his head again, he spoke.
"I think that your majesty is the first emperor. His literary skills and military skills are beyond the reach of people in ancient and modern times. His prestige spreads in the universe, and his achievements last for thousands of years. However, if the Great Qin is to prosper forever, and the king of future generations must win the hearts of the world."
"What do you think of Fusu?"
"This this…"
Prime Minister Zuo Qin, who was usually eloquent, was speechless tonight.
"speak!"
"I think that the eldest son is the head of all the sons, and his name and reputation are also known in the world. However, to govern such a large country, the eldest son is still not enough."
Li Si didn't specifically say what the shortcomings were, but Qin Huang did.
"Fusu is too weak."
When Qin Huang said this, he seemed to have no interest in talking.
"You go down!"
"promise!"
Li Si went away, Qin Huang murmured.
"Who will guard thousands of miles of land? I hope that the cold wind on this fortress can temper Fusu and make him a wise master of a generation."
Said, closed his eyes.
……
Cold outside the Great Wall.
It was late at night, and Fusu hadn't fallen asleep yet, discussing military affairs with Mengtian.
Meng Tian was at the side, seeing Fusu was stunned, thought he was tired, and asked.
"Young Master, it's late at night, why don't you go to bed earlier!"
"I'm not tired. The construction of the straight road is of great importance. The soldiers and laborers are still waiting for specific plans."
Fusu, with the respect of the eldest son, was sent to the northern border as the supervisor of the army, with a heavy responsibility.According to the original plan, Qin Huang's east tour will pass through Jiuyuan.At that time, Fusu will be able to meet his father.
Therefore, Fusu made careful preparations, wanting to show his father and emperor his talent.
Meng Tian is very clear about Fusu's thoughts, these years, because of his background, he has been worried.Since arriving at the border, I have always wanted to make some achievements and show it to the emperor.
"General Meng Tian, I know that my background is a thorn in my father's heart after all."
"Eldest son, don't worry. If His Majesty doesn't trust the eldest son, how can he let the eldest son come to this border to serve as a military supervisor?"
Meng Tian's relief made Fusu feel better.
……
"What did you say?"
In the secluded room, Li Si looked at Zhao Gao and was startled.
Zhao Gao held an imperial edict in his hand.
"Before His Majesty died, he issued an edict to Fusu, asking him to return to Xianyang to preside over the funeral. Does the prime minister think this edict should be issued?"
"Your Majesty's order, what do you want?"
Zhao Gao lowered his head and smiled slightly.
"In that case, this servant will order someone to send the edict to Jiuyuan and hand it over to the eldest son and Prime Minister Meng Tian."
Zhao Gao bit the words of Prime Minister Meng Tian very hard.
"Wait!" Li Si stopped Zhao Gao, "What nonsense are you talking about, Prime Minister Meng Tian?"
"My lord, who has read the past and present, should know what happened to Zhang Yi and Fan Sui?"
Li Si was still in doubt, his hands trembled.
"You mean the eldest son will?"
"Does the prime minister think that after the eldest son ascends the throne, the prime minister will still be the prime minister? The eldest son and the prime minister have always disagreed in their political views. If he succeeds to the throne, as a foreigner, he will be exiled at least, or die at worst."
Zhao Gao's words rang in Li Si's ears, making the usually calm Prime Minister Zuo Qin break into a cold sweat.
Li Si knew what Zhao Gao was thinking, but he felt a little crazy.
"The eighteenth son has always admired the prime minister. If he inherits the throne, he will also respect the way of the Legalists."
"No, the Beihe army in Meng Tian's hands may go south at any time. If the eldest son knows, there will be no place for you and me to die. What's more, do you think Zhao Shuang will just watch it like this when the [-] Anxi town troops are guarding the western border? "
"So, be quick!"
With Zhao Gao's words, Hu Hai walked in outside the secluded room and knelt down in front of Li Si.
"Prime Minister, please help me! If I inherit the throne, I will obey you in the future."
Hu Hai was like an urchin, crying in front of Li Si.Finally, Li Si made up his mind.
"The emperor collapsed and died outside, fearing that the princes will change, keep the funeral in secret, and wait until he returns to Xianyang for the funeral."
Zhao Gao knew that without Li Si's help, Hu Hai would not be able to inherit the throne.Seeing that he had made up his mind, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is the eldest son?"
"The eldest son has always disrespected His Majesty. An imperial edict should be issued to order him to execute himself."
"Trap nets can also go!"
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, Li Si waved his hand, showing his maturity.
"No, if the net is gone, then Meng Tian and Fu Su must know there is a deceit in it."
"If Fusu doesn't commit suicide, what should we do?"
Hu Hai was beside him and asked.
"Sir, are you afraid?"
Seeing Li Si's gaze, Hu Hai dodged a little.
"me…"
"The Anxi town army is still in the western region, even if it wants to raise a large army, it won't be so fast. But the Beihe army is different. Meng Tian's elite cavalry can reach Guanzhong in three days. If Fusu doesn't obey the order, we will have to obey it." ordered."
"If Fusu and Mengtian obey the edict, what should we do?"
Zhao Gao asked, because even if the army in Jiuyuan was put down, there are still [-] Anxi town troops in the west.
"If you go to Xianyang, you should close Xiaoguan and Sanguan tightly, and then send Jingqi to Zhao Shuang to go to Xianyang. He is alone, so why should he be afraid?"
"What if he doesn't follow the edict?"
"Then cut off the commercial roads and stop communication. Raise a large army and attack Nanzheng land. When it falls, his more than ten thousand Jincheng cavalry and one hundred thousand Anxi town troops will not attack and cause chaos."
Hu Hai felt that the atmosphere in the room changed.When Li Si and Zhao Gao talked about that person, they were very different.
