Chapter 223 This matter is not simple!
It seems that the Thirteenth Prince does not know that His Majesty is still alive.

This time, no matter how he plans, in the face of Qin Shi Huang's foresight, everything is under Your Majesty's control.

By then, the Thirteenth Young Master's reaction will surely be intriguing!

Before noon, the First Emperor's convoy had arrived at the foot of Mount Li, dozens of miles east of Xianyang.

The huge Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is clearly visible. It is 76 meters high and has an outer wall with a circumference of 6.3 kilometers. It is like a miniature Xianyang city!
The mausoleum is filled with traps, with mercury transformed into rivers and oceans, and guarded by more than a thousand terracotta warriors. The core of the mausoleum is the Qin Shi Huang's bedroom.

The outside world has no way of seeing all this.

The mausoleum looks like three small cities.

Although Ying Heng lamented that the construction of this mausoleum exhausted manpower and material resources, as a masterpiece of the reign of Qin Shihuang, it would be one of the wonders of the world even in later generations, and he could not blame it.

At this moment, the convoy carrying the First Emperor's burial had stopped at the foot of Mount Li, and everything was ready.

The troops of Wang Jian and Wang Ben, and the teams of Fusu and Meng Tian had already been arranged in an orderly manner. Civil and military officials each performed their duties. Thousands of people from afar also took their positions, waiting to see the First Emperor off for the last time.

At this moment, a man suddenly appeared on the Dragon-Breaking Platform above the magnificent gate of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum.

A man in a black dragon robe stood proudly with his back to the crowd. In the sunlight, he looked like a black dragon descending into the world. His back alone brought invisible pressure to the army.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this! Who dared to be so disrespectful and step onto the Dragon-Breaking Platform of the First Emperor's mausoleum on the day of the funeral of the first emperor of all time?

In the bright sunshine and surrounded by a tight army, the eyes of all officials and people were focused on the foot of Mount Li, at the cold entrance to the mausoleum, and on the Broken Dragon Terrace, where a man in a black robe stood.

He is tall and strong, with an extraordinary aura. Even with his back to the people, he naturally exudes majesty!
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked! Especially the two prime ministers Feng Quji and Li Si who presided over the ceremony, they seemed to be derelict in their duties!

Feng Quji took dozens of quick steps forward, pointed directly at the mysterious figure on the Dragon-Breaking Platform, and said sternly: "Today is the sacred moment when our great Emperor Qin Shi Huang is buried. Who dares to play tricks here?"

"Do you understand that just standing there is the greatest blasphemy to our great Emperor Qin Shi Huang? Why don't you retreat immediately!"

Feng Quji's roar instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

Civil officials, military generals, and common people were all whispering and discussing the matter.

Only the soldiers under Wang Jian and Yi Tian were indifferent to the scene before them.

They knew in their hearts that the double image was undoubtedly His Majesty.

Wang Jian was not surprised at all. Instead, he chuckled to himself: I never thought that Your Majesty, who had been traveling incognito and keeping a low profile for a long time, chose such a shocking way to make his debut at such a critical moment.

Hehehe!
Everyone's attention was focused here, and Feng Quji yelled at the man again.

However, his warning seemed to fall on deaf ears, and the man remained motionless, as if he had not heard it.

Seeing this, Ying Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the same time, Li Si also felt anxious.

Ever since the Thirteenth Prince revealed the secret that he and Zhao Gao had tampered with the imperial edict, Li Si's fate and even the fate of his entire family has been in the hands of the Thirteenth Prince.

At first, as the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, his talents could still be helpful to the Thirteenth Prince and he still had value to be used.

But after the arrival of Dong Zhongshu and others, Li Si felt that he lacked talent and might be replaced at any time.

For a long time, he had not received any direct task assignments from the Thirteenth Young Master.

This time, he and Feng Quji shouldered the heavy responsibility of being in charge of all matters related to the burial of the First Emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor. Li Si knew that he must seize this opportunity.

If he fails, he might become the first victim after the new emperor ascends the throne, after all, he had betrayed the previous emperor.

At this moment, Li Si witnessed the mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang being broken into by a stranger in such a solemn occasion, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine!

This was a serious dereliction of duty on his part!

Fortunately, this is the tomb of the late emperor, and the Thirteenth Prince does not attach much importance to it.

But if an accident occurred at the critical stage of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, Li Si would probably find it difficult to protect himself.

Even so, this was a major mistake by Li Si. Seeing that Feng Quji's rebuke was ineffective, he also stepped forward and shouted loudly to stop him.

"How dare you desecrate the mausoleum of the First Emperor? This is an insult to the First Emperor!"

"Someone, come here! Capture this man immediately!"

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, he pointed at the accompanying Black Ice Guards and ordered them to go forward and arrest the man.

However, although the guards of Heibingtai are now required to attend such events, they have already been under the jurisdiction of Dahei and Xiaohei who returned to Xianyang first.

Dahei knew even more that the person in front of him was none other than the First Emperor.

Therefore, after Li Si's order was issued, the assigned commander of the Black Ice Terrace guards did not take any action and ignored Li Si's order.

In response, Li Si became furious, and Ying Heng's eyes were narrowed into slits.

Those Black Ice Terrace guards never truly submitted to him.

At this critical moment of life and death, they actually disobeyed Li Si's orders!
I am almost on the throne, and they still won't obey my orders. What on earth do they rely on?

Is there a power in this world that I cannot control?

This thought flashed through Ying Heng's mind.

Li Si was furious. Since he couldn't move the Black Ice Platform, he turned to Wang Ben.

"General Wang, someone is preventing His Majesty from being buried today. Why don't you order the arrest of this person?"

On weekdays in the army, Wang Ben obeyed the Thirteenth Prince's orders and was the only general who was close to the Thirteenth Prince.

Now, facing such a situation, Li Si saw that he could not summon the guards of the Black Ice Terrace, and the first person he thought of was Wang Ben.

However, when he shouted the order, Wang Ben couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

You, Li Si, are seeking your own death, don't drag me into it.

That man is His Majesty, how dare I send troops to capture him?

He spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Prime Minister Li, I'm here to watch the ceremony today, not to bring any troops with me."

"My father, Wang Jian, is the one leading the troops. Why don't you go find him and give it a try?"

Li Si was stunned. It turned out that Wang Ben did not lead any troops?

This explanation makes sense. After all, the Thirteenth Young Master only said that he would invite civil and military officials to watch the ceremony today, but he did not mention the matter of bringing troops.

As for asking Li Si to order Wang Jian, he would never dare to do so. No matter in status or qualifications, Li Si was inferior to Wang Jian.

At this time, Li Si looked at Ying Heng with a troubled look.

Ying Heng said nothing, but waved his hand gently, signaling him to leave.

The moment that man appeared, Ying Heng felt that something was wrong.

The feeling that man gave him was exactly the same as that of Zhao Zheng, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry General he had appointed.

But isn’t Zhao Zheng his cousin?

Why did it suddenly appear here?

Feng Quji shouted loudly, but the man remained indifferent.

Then Li Si ordered the guards of Heibingtai to take action, but they refused. He then ordered Wang Ben to arrest people, but Wang Ben also refused.

At this time, Ying Heng felt that things seemed not simple.
