Chapter 227 I heard that you announced that I did not issue a will? !

However, what no one noticed was that the three maids of the Thirteenth Young Master were quietly exchanging glances.

"Do you think that the prince will have a conflict with the First Emperor?"

"The First Emperor shouldn't be so impulsive, right?"

"Indeed, if a fight breaks out, once the First Emperor finds out that the young master is at the peak of the Heavenly Man Realm, there will be something interesting to watch, hehe~"

These three maids, especially Tian Ni, had no worries at all about the safety of the Thirteenth Young Master.

Her heart had been hit by Ying Heng himself, and she had experienced that shock!

For the past two months, Tian Ni has been looking forward to Xiang Yu coming to assassinate the Thirteenth Prince, and looking forward to witnessing the moment when the Prince knocks Xiang Yu to the ground with one palm and brings him under his command.

However, Xiang Yu never showed up.

What is not well known is that at the top of Mount Li is a lush forest.

Xiang Yu, the former Overlord of Western Chu, a young genius, a practitioner of the Heavenly Man Realm who considered himself to be unmatched in martial arts, was now hiding behind a tree, watching the meeting between the First Emperor and Ying Heng with cold eyes.

It's not that Xiang Yu didn't have the intention of assassination in the past two months. He was just looking for an opportunity that would attract everyone's attention so that he could kill the new emperor of Qin in front of the whole world.

However, today, he unexpectedly discovered a new opportunity—the First Emperor was also present!
This is really wonderful! Today is the moment for me, Xiang Yu, to become famous throughout the world and to destroy the two Qin tyrants in one fell swoop!
snort!
Xiang Yu was three miles away, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he tightly grasped the Overlord Spear in his hand!

At the foot of the mountain, the crowd knelt down to welcome the return of the First Emperor.

Only Ying Heng's three maids were loyal to the young master. They ignored the emperor's presence and stood quietly beside the carriage.

On the field, the First Emperor, wearing a dark dragon robe and with his hands behind his back, stood on the Dragon-Breaking Platform at the entrance of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, smiling as he watched his thirteen sons approach step by step.

Below, Ying Heng also had his hands behind his back, with a demeanor comparable to that of the First Emperor, and walked towards him firmly.

This scene is destined to become a classic that will be passed down for thousands of years and will be deeply imprinted in the hearts of the imperial court painters. They will paint this scene and pass it down for generations.

Da da da,
time goes by,

While everyone was kneeling devoutly, Ying Heng had already walked a hundred steps and arrived at the foot of the imperial mausoleum.

Witnessing this scene, the First Emperor loudly announced to the crowd:
"My fellow ministers, please do not be polite. Please wait here. I will talk to Thirteen in private. No one is allowed to disturb the tranquility here."

"Remember, don't act on your own if there's even the slightest noise!"

"Obey the imperial decree!"

When the order was given, no one understood its meaning, but Meng Yi, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Jian and Fusu already knew what it meant.

The First Emperor was preparing to teach the Thirteenth Prince a lesson first.

Meng Yi touched the scar on his cheek. The pain was still there, as if reminding him of what was about to happen.

Alas, the Thirteenth Young Master may not be able to escape this time!

Meng Tian, ​​Fusu and others secretly laughed, Humph, Thirteenth Brother, this is the end of being too proud of yourself.

This time, your father didn't make you break your butt and tear your teeth to pieces. It's really your blessing!
After the First Emperor finished his announcement to his ministers, he waved to Ying Heng to follow him.

In an instant, the two of them disappeared into the winding forest path.

Hua la la la——

At this moment, civil officials, military generals, thousands of soldiers, and countless common people stood up one after another.

Their eager eyes followed the direction where the emperor disappeared, and their eyes were filled with joy that the First Emperor was safe and sound, and celebration that His Majesty had returned to Qin and revitalized the Qin Dynasty!
On the tree-lined path, the black and white figures walked side by side, the father and son were like a vivid painting.

After walking a few dozen steps, the First Emperor suddenly smiled and asked, "Heng'er, I heard that after I passed away, you publicly declared that I did not leave any will?" As soon as these words came out, every word was full of meaning.

In fact, when the First Emperor faked his death, he did leave a will that clearly designated Fusu to return to the country to preside over government affairs and succeed to the throne.

However, after Ying Heng's words, the will became nothing.

This seemingly light-hearted questioning actually raises the serious question of Ying Heng's constant rebellion and usurpation of the throne!
Once admitted, it would be a crime of disobedience, treason, and usurpation of the throne!
Even if he has ascended the throne, this throne will be considered illegal and anyone in the world can attack him.

In particular, Fusu, who had 300,000 troops on the border, was able to return, kill Ying Heng who usurped the throne, and regain the throne.

After all, although the edict left by the late emperor is just a piece of paper, it is a symbol of great justice.

Without justice, all excuses will be pale and powerless.

Ying Heng knew this very well. He was aware that the First Emperor had indeed left a will.

As early as the first day, Li Si had conveyed the order.

The Emperor's will originally ordered Fusu to inherit the throne, but the real will was destroyed by Zhao Gao and Li Si, and was replaced by a forged will that ordered Meng Tian and Fusu to commit suicide.

And he made Prince Hu Hai the emperor.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ying Heng's face, but he did not intend to expose the matter at this moment. This would be his trump card, which he would save for the critical moment and then show its power when he took advantage of the victory.

He smiled and replied, "Father, I will give you the truth about this matter, but we will discuss this matter later."

"Let's talk about the current situation of Daqin first."

"What do you think of the development of our Great Qin under your governance during the past ten years?"

If Qin Shi Huang's first question was a heavy blow, then Ying Heng's reply was a powerful counterattack.

Didn't you say that I was plotting to usurp the throne and that my power came from an illegitimate source?
Then I would say that you have limited ability. During your reign, the Qin Dynasty was full of loopholes and was almost entirely maintained by your prestige.

You see, as soon as you passed away, all the problems were exposed instantly, and the Qin Dynasty almost collapsed because of it, didn’t it!

Faced with such soul-searching questions, the First Emperor did not respond directly.

His greatest contribution was to realize the wishes of successive Qin kings based on the results of Shang Yang's reforms.

This enabled the Qin soldiers to gain promotion in rank by killing enemies and making meritorious contributions.

Therefore, the black-armored warriors of the Qin Dynasty were brave and fearless, sweeping across the six kingdoms and unifying the world!
Qin Shi Huang's strength lies in military affairs. His military prowess is unparalleled in the world. His unification of the six kingdoms is the greatest achievement in the past thousand years and no one can match it.

As for governing the country, although he implemented the standardization of wheel gauge, writing system, weights and measures, built the Great Wall to resist the Huns, and assimilated the Baiyue people by sending millions of people south, these measures were all far-sighted in history.

However, in terms of national construction, especially the continued use of harsh wartime laws to govern the country, it seriously hindered the development of the Qin Dynasty...

In the war-torn years, military merit was the only way for civilians to leap into higher class, and it could indeed arouse people's determination to die.

However, the era of peace has arrived, and the only way for ordinary people to advance is to kill the enemies.

In a situation where there was no war to fight, years of famine made people unable to get enough food, and they were even forced to trade their children for food. The seeds of peasant uprising naturally grew.

Although the six kingdoms were destroyed, their nobles were secretly surging, and the Huns were lurking like wolves.

Within the imperial court, eunuchs like Zhao Gao colluded with both internal and external forces. Many factors accumulated, and as soon as the First Emperor left, the situation would erupt like a volcano, and the Qin Empire would come to an end in the hands of the Second Emperor.

This is the torrent of history and also the hidden danger left over from Qin Shi Huang's many years of rule.
