Chapter 231 Any attempt to usurp the throne will be regarded as betrayal and will be condemned by the whole world!
Ying Heng suddenly revealed a mysterious smile: "Father, if I really come up with 10,000, what will you do?"

What? ! !
Do you really have this ability?

The First Emperor was shocked, and then his expression changed!

Is Xiao Shisan deliberately teasing him?

If there really were 10,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders, wouldn't no one be able to defeat them? !
Not to mention the Xiongnu steppes and Siberia!

Even to the ends of the earth, I can cross it!

But where did these ten thousand Snow Dragon Riders come from?

Could it be that this guy already had it but kept it hidden?

The First Emperor stared at Ying Heng with flickering eyes, and ultimately did not respond, but this incident had been deeply engraved in his heart.

After all, the First Emperor was a man who loved war and conquest. How could he not yearn for such a weapon of war?

When Ying Heng saw that the First Emperor did not respond, a faint smile appeared on his lips. His original intention was not to let his father bet with him immediately, but to let his father be attracted by the bait little by little so that he could achieve his goal.

Then, Ying Heng changed the subject and continued, "Father, to be honest, I am not keen on action, and I prefer to stay at home!"

"The current prosperity of the Qin Dynasty is nothing more than a small achievement created inadvertently by me in my spare time when I was trying to save the Qin Dynasty from collapse."

"I have never really paid attention to the development and construction of Daqin."

"Even so, I'm sure you're surprised by what you see?"

The First Emperor was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but was interrupted by Ying Heng: "You don't need to say more. A beginner master can be promoted to the late stage of a grand master in a few days. This is real evidence. You can fool others, but you can't fool me."

First Emperor:"……"

Well, damn it, I can't argue with you.

However, you have laid such a solid foundation for Daqin, and you still say that this is just something you did casually in your spare time?

Are you showing off in front of me?
"Father, you find this unbelievable, right?"

"I'm afraid no one would believe it."

"Well, let's make another bet."

"I will leave the Great Qin to my son to govern for five years. After five years, if I cannot return to you a Great Qin that will last for thousands of years, I will have lost."

"When the time comes, everything concerning the throne will be decided by you. What do you think?"

"Also, the 10,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders mentioned earlier are also included in this bet!"

Hearing this, the First Emperor's heartbeat began to accelerate. It was really exciting!

With ten thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders, this guy has devoted all his energy to governing Daqin for five years and laying the foundation for an empire that will last for thousands of years.

And five years later, if I am not satisfied, the throne will still be decided by me!
With such good conditions, should I accept this bet?
"wrong!"

The First Emperor was tempted and was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"That's not right, brat. Are you unable to tell right from wrong, or do you want to be the emperor for a few years first?"

"I am still here!"

Although he was tempted by Ying Heng's bet, the First Emperor ultimately refused.

It was previously said that the two would share the management of Daqin, one in charge of domestic construction and the other in charge of expanding territory.

As he was talking, he started to change the concept.

He became the emperor and I became the general.

Isn't this a trick?

Negotiations can be held, and the First Emperor would be happy to let him go out to conquer the world and fight.

But we have to make it clear. We can't just hand over the throne without any clear reason.

The First Emperor looked at Ying Heng with a forced smile, exposing his little thoughts.

Ying Heng didn't feel embarrassed. Negotiations should be done step by step.

At this point, he had already thrown out a few baits and was not in a hurry to close the net. He had to give the First Emperor a decent way out, otherwise he would not easily hand over the throne for the sake of his face.

At this moment, he changed his perspective and continued, "Father, I remember that three months ago, your health condition had been deteriorating, right?"

The First Emperor nodded slightly.

"Then, if my speculation is correct, your decision to fake your death and announce your death must have been a forced one, right?"

The First Emperor nodded slightly.

This goes without saying. After all, for an emperor who is at the peak of his power, the stability of the entire Qin Dynasty depends on his majesty.

Who would easily announce retirement unless facing major difficulties?

"Father, could it be that in March, your health had reached the point of exhaustion?"

"According to common sense, maybe you will really pass away in half a year?!"

Ying Heng’s words were like a bolt from the blue, causing the First Emperor’s eyes to shrink suddenly. He actually guessed it right!

At that time, the toxins from taking Xu Fu's elixirs for a long time had deeply eroded his body.

Not to mention half a year, being able to live three more months is already his limit.

Even though his cultivation has now reached the level of a grandmaster, the poison in his heart still has not been eliminated.

Therefore, his lifespan was shorter than that of other grand masters and he could not reach the age of a hundred.

Thinking of this, the First Emperor sighed, "Heng'er, your guess is correct. My life was already coming to an end at that time. I had no choice but to fake my death and stay in seclusion."

"If you fail to improve your martial arts skills to the Grandmaster level within three months, my fake death will become true."

"However, before I truly pass away, I will break out of the pass and deal with those who rebelled against Qin..."

At this point, the First Emperor found that Ying Heng was looking at him with a half-smile in his eyes, and he was suddenly speechless.

They seemed to have discussed this topic. Even if he came out, the real solver would still be Ying Heng.

After all, the First Emperor had never expected that the situation would be so turbulent once he passed away.

It can be said that if there was no Ying Heng, even if he came out of seclusion, the Qin Dynasty would be difficult to maintain.

Having said that, the First Emperor sighed lightly, fell silent, and whispered to himself: Alas, in this respect, I am indeed not as good as Little Thirteen!

Seeing that the First Emperor stopped talking, Ying Heng continued.

"Father, have you ever thought that if you don't have a child, you will not be able to break through to the Grandmaster level and continue your life?"

"In that case, will the throne still be passed down?"

"If you failed to improve your cultivation and passed away, wouldn't the throne be passed on to your child?"

"Now I have helped you reach the Grand Master level and extended your lifespan."

"I will also deliver the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, the Divine Arrow Battalion and other forces to you, so that you can once again experience the charge and battle of the battlefield, and tell you how big the world is. There are endless territories outside the Qin Dynasty waiting for your conquest!"

"When the time comes, you will be on the battlefield, conquering the four corners of the world. Why do you still cling to the throne?"

"You were originally going to pass on this throne, so it is wise to let it go now!"

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor responded: "As for the throne, I am not obsessed with power."

"First of all, I am the emperor. If I really pass away, it is only natural that the throne will be inherited."

"But since I am still alive, I built this country with my own hands, and the throne belongs to me..."

"Besides, even if I really pass away, according to my last wish, this country should be inherited by my eldest son Fusu."

"You, Little Thirteen, have no right to interfere in any way."

"You governed the Qin Empire, saved it from dire straits, promoted prosperity in all fields, and even helped me improve my cultivation. No one can erase these achievements, and I will not turn a deaf ear to them."

"But the succession of the throne must follow the rules. Only the person I choose can take over."

"Any attempt to usurp the throne will be regarded as betrayal and will be condemned by the whole world!"
