Chapter 17: Wrath of Thunder
When Zhao Gao and Li Si saw the person coming clearly, they couldn't help but widen their eyes with disbelief on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost, they froze in place!
Other courtiers were not much better.
Suddenly, the Qilin Hall was silent and fell into a brief silence.
Zhao Gao was the first to come to his senses. He was inexplicably shocked and finished shouting secretly.
Plop!
"God has opened his eyes. Your Majesty, you are in good health. It's really great. Woohoo" Zhao Gao knelt down and cried crocodile tears, saying hypocritically.
Plop!
Li Si was trembling like chaff, his face was ashen, and he knelt down.
Other courtiers also knelt down and saluted.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao who was kneeling on the ground and sneered: "Zhao Gao, I didn't come back to life at the right time. Didn't it prevent you from tampering with the imperial edict?"
Zhao Gao quickly argued: "Your Majesty, I...I drafted the edict in accordance with your will!"
"You still dare to argue that I asked you to make Hu Hai the emperor?" Ying Zheng said: "I clearly said that I would make Fusu!"
"Your Majesty, then... I must have heard wrongly because I didn't hear clearly!" Zhao Gao was still stubborn.
Ying Zheng took out another edict, threw it at Zhao Gao's face, and said coldly: "You heard the name of the successor king wrongly. Did I also ask you to kill Fusu and Mengtian?!"
Zhao Gao picked up the edict with trembling hands and opened it, speechless.
This edict is exactly the edict forged by Zhao Gao to punish Fusu and Meng Tian with death.
The confidants he sent out to deliver the edict had been intercepted by Ying Zheng's people.
"Your Majesty, my crime deserves ten thousand death, my crime deserves ten thousand death!" Li Si cried bitterly when he saw the irrefutable evidence. He kept kowtowing and hit his head so hard on the ground that he bled.
At this moment, he regretted that he had been deceived by lard before, and actually tampered with the imperial edict and failed to live up to Qin Shihuang's important position!
Li Si faced Ying Zheng without face!
Zhao Gao's eyes flashed, he raised his head, pointed at Li Si and "accused": "Your Majesty, Li Si forced me to do all this with him. He is worried that the young master Fu Su will succeed to the throne and reuse brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi. He will I was deprived of my position as prime minister, so I have to tamper with the imperial edict and establish Hu Hai. If my servant adds me, Li Si will kill my whole family, and my servant has no choice..."
"Zhao Gao, you...wow" Li Si was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was clearly Zhao Gao who instigated him to tamper with the imperial edict, make Hu Hai the new king, and execute Fusu and Meng Tian!
Now, Zhao Gao is biting him, confusing right and wrong, despicable and shameless!
Ying Zheng watched with cold eyes. He had already known everything through Mr. Tiandaolou's deduction, so why didn't he understand that the mastermind was Zhao Gao.
A castrated dog actually climbed on top of me and acted arrogantly, slaughtering my children, destroying my country of Qin, and confusing right and wrong here...
Thinking of these, Ying Zheng was filled with rage!
Ying Zheng shouted angrily: "Zhao Gao, you are a deceitful and lawless man, don't stop making excuses! Someone will pull Zhao Gao down, chop him into minced meat, feed it to the dogs, and barbarize the other six tribes!"
Immediately some soldiers rushed into the Qilin Hall and dragged Zhao Gao out.
Zhao Gao's face was ashen!
Now, he finally believed what Tiandao Louzhu said:
Go back and eat more good food!
I will die really soon!
"Your Majesty, I foolishly listened to Zhao Gao's deception and did such a treasonous and unethical thing. Your Majesty, please grant me death!!!" Li Si said with blood on his face and tears streaming down his face, and he said with great regret.
Ying Zheng stared at him with blazing anger: "Li Si, I made you a supreme minister, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, but you deceive me and ignore your superiors?! Is this how you repay me?! Someone will take Li Si down and imprison him until he is punished!"
Yingzheng swept through the six countries and unified the world. Li Si did have great contributions. The writings of the same text, the same track of the chariots, and the unification of weights and measures were all made by Li Si. They helped him regain power from Lu Buwei. Li Si also contributed a lot...
Moreover, Li Si has great talents. After Yingzheng unified the six countries, he still needs to be used in many places to govern the country.
Furthermore, the reason why Li Si conspired today was because of Zhao Gao's instigation.
Of course, Li Si is too obsessed with power, which is also an important reason!
It would be a pity to kill Li Si like this!
However, the crime Li Si committed today was too great!
If Ying Zheng doesn't kill Li Si today, how can he intimidate the officials of Qin in the future? !
For a time, Ying Zheng was entangled in how to deal with Li Si!
We have no choice but to take Li Si into prison first and think carefully about whether to keep or kill him!
"Your Majesty, I have let you down. Please execute me immediately! Uuuuuuu" Li Si burst into tears and kowtowed, feeling extremely ashamed.
Boom, boom, boom!
He kowtowed three times in a row, and his forehead was bloody and bloody.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "Take Li Si into prison!"
Two soldiers stepped forward, took off Li Si's official hat, and took him down.
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Come here, I will deprive Hu Hai of his status as Young Master and throw him into the cold palace. He will never be able to step out of the cold palace!"
According to Tiandao Louzhu, after Hu Haiyizhao seized the throne, he was not only extremely stupid, but also cruel and ruthless. He did not spare any of his more than 30 brothers and sisters.
Naturally, such incompetent and immoral beasts can no longer be allowed to enjoy glory and wealth.
"No!" A eunuch in charge of palace affairs took the order and left.
When he brought people to the palace where Hu Hai lived and took Hu Hai to the cold palace, Hu Hai didn't know what happened.
"How dare you, why do you kidnap me and take me to where?"
"You dog slaves, if you don't let go, I will destroy all three of your clans!"
Hu Hai said arrogantly.
Snapped!
The eunuch who was responsible for sending Hu Hai to the cold palace slapped him in the face without any courtesy.
This slap was so heavy that Hu Hai's cheek swelled up and spit out blood with teeth mixed in it.
Hu Hai took advantage of the fact that he was favored by Ying Zheng and often abused the eunuchs, maids and eunuchs in the palace.
Now, Hu Hai was deprived of his status as a prince and was sent to the cold palace. He would never be able to turn over. Naturally, the eunuchs would not tolerate Hu Hai anymore.
"You... you dog, dare to hit me, your whole family doesn't want to live. I will let my father destroy your three clans!!!" Hu Hai was still arrogant.
The eunuch stepped on Hu Hai's face and said, "Hu Hai, Hu Hai, His Majesty has deprived you of your status as a prince and sent you to the cold palace. You will never be able to turn over!"
"No, it's impossible. You must be lying!"
"I want to see my father..."
Hu Hai struggled and shouted desperately.
However, no one paid any attention to him, and they held him up and threw him into the cold palace.
"Father..."
Hu Hai screamed desperately, his voice was shrill.
However, it was useless.
For the rest of his life, Hu Hai could only die miserably in the cold palace!
...
Qilin Hall.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath, ascended the throne, that is, the leather sofa, and sat down.
He pulled out a thick cigar, lit it with a lighter, and took a few deep puffs.
When you are depressed or tired, smoking a cigar is indeed a good choice.
The ministers looked at His Majesty, holding something in his mouth, puffing and puffing domineeringly, and they were all curious.
However, no one dared to ask.
The Qilin Hall was very quiet, only Ying Zheng was constantly smoking a cigar, and the ministers were watching quietly below.
When a cigar burned out, Qin Shihuang's mood calmed down and he put out the cigarette butt.
He looked around at all the ministers, and finally focused his gaze on Wang Ben, saying:
"Marquis Tongwu, tell everyone what I saw and heard in Tiandao Tower!"
