Chapter 246 How could you be so cruel and ruthless that you wanted to kill your brother and usurp the throne!
This is really great news!
Fusu, who had already given up hope on the right of succession, felt a new surge of turmoil in his heart.
It seemed like he could still have hope in that position!
With this idea in mind, Fusu decided to return to Xianyang first, go back to his mansion, and discuss the matter in detail with his three thousand guests!
Wang Ben and Meng Yi had worried looks on their faces; they were the Thirteenth Prince's confidants.
Now that the Thirteenth Prince's power has been stripped away by His Majesty again, they may not be able to escape reckoning.
However, fortunately, they had met His Majesty before and had been reprimanded, so perhaps the outcome would not be too bad.
In comparison, the situations of Li Si and Feng Quji were the most worrying.
Feng Quji might be lucky, as his presence is not strong.
When Li Si heard the news, he was stunned.
His heart was beating as wildly as thunder!
Your Majesty is back in power?
Then how should he explain his previous inquiry into the will?
How to explain it?
What's worse is that he had just advised the young master to kill the fake emperor.
Even though the young master did not agree, the way His Majesty looked at him at that time was as if he were a dead person!
At this moment, Li Si was completely panicked. The crime he committed was the same as Zhao Gao's, both of which were treason!
If His Majesty really passes away, the Thirteenth Prince may be able to cover up the matter and he can still survive.
Now that His Majesty has resurrected, he will certainly ask about the will and why it favors the Thirteenth Prince.
Coupled with the recent events, Li Si's fate was almost sealed.
Even Li Si's three clans and nine tribes will face crisis.
Therefore, when hearing Dahei announce His Majesty's decree, the most terrified person in the entire Qin officialdom was undoubtedly Li Si!
All the officials returned to the court in high spirits, except Li Si, whose face turned pale and blue, as if he had foreseen his own end.
Thinking that he would lose his head when he returned and that his family would be implicated, he felt like his days were passing by in agony.
Everyone else was immersed in joy. The people supported the First Emperor. There is no need to say more.
It was as if the hundreds of thousands of craftsmen and sacrificial victims in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum had miraculously been reborn, and at this moment their hearts were filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
Therefore, although the funeral of Qin Shihuang and the coronation ceremony of the new emperor at the foot of Mount Li seemed empty.
However, as they marched back to the imperial court, everyone had smiles on their faces and could hear the sound of laughter and chatter.
Ying Heng's three maids, who should have been immersed in sorrow, were now playing Landlord in the carriage carefree and enjoying themselves.
As for the possibility that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to usurp the throne?
Ah!
This was not at all among their concerns.
Unless the young master is willing, no one in the world can take anything from him.
No need to elaborate on the various things that happened on the road...
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the Xianyang Palace.
Qin Shihuang and his son Ying Heng have already taken their seats in Zhangtai Palace.
At this moment, Ying Heng looked solemn. He took out a roll of yellow silk and handed it to the First Emperor.
"Father, this is the will you always mentioned, which I took back after my rebellion. Please take a look at it."
Qin Shihuang took the yellow silk with both hands, on which was the will written by him when he faked his death.
The content was to summon Fusu back to Xianyang to preside over the government. Half a year later, the First Emperor was buried and Fusu ascended the throne as Qin II.
This six-month deadline stems from the life and death agreement made by the First Emperor when he was practicing martial arts. If he is unable to break through the Grandmaster realm and prolong his life within six months, his fake death will become true and his will will take effect.
If he can make a breakthrough within these six months, he will be able to break out and regain control of the government.
At that time, the matter of the will was no longer mentioned.
To this day, the First Emperor still clearly remembers that when he was dying, he entrusted his will to Li Si and Zhao Gao, asking them to welcome Fusu back to the court in accordance with the will.
The two men kowtowed respectfully and promised to obey your orders.
On the day when Qin Shi Huang faked his death and went into seclusion, he heard Dahei's report that a team of dark web assassins and Qin palace guards escorting the imperial edict were intercepted by a stunning woman in the northern suburbs of Xianyang, and the edict box also disappeared.
It was later learned that the stunning woman was Zi Yi, the maid who followed Xiao Shisan.
At the same time, Xiao Shisan rushed into the Emperor's bedroom and killed Zhao Gao.
The First Emperor was furious. What the Thirteenth Emperor did was undoubtedly a rebellion and usurpation of the throne, which was extremely treasonous!
Even now, after witnessing Ying Heng's series of actions to save the country and his extraordinary abilities, the First Emperor has determined that Ying Heng is the best candidate for the Qin Emperor, but he still feels resentful about this matter. Either he will pass on the throne or he will usurp the throne.
However, although the First Emperor had mentioned this matter many times before, Ying Heng always evaded the question.
Now, he is finally going to reveal the truth.
"Humph! I want to see how you explain this outrageous behavior!"
Qin Shi Huang took the yellow silk and slowly unfolded it.
The first thing that catches your eye is a small seal.
"If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live forever!"
"Yes, it is my imperial seal, that's right."
Let’s see what tricks you can play.
He continued to slowly unfold the scroll, and the words inside gradually appeared.
"I sense that the destiny has arrived. Although the Qin Dynasty has unified the country, it still faces internal and external troubles. It is urgent to consolidate its foundation to maintain the country's destiny..."
The First Emperor nodded slightly, convinced that this was the decree written in his own handwriting.
My eyes turn to the following text, looking forward to the chapter where Fusu returns to take charge of the situation.
However, his pupils suddenly dilated and he was shocked beyond belief!
"However, among all the princes, the eldest prince Fusu is cowardly and incompetent, and even worships Confucianism, which undermines the majesty of the Qin Dynasty."
"Although I am in the Northern Frontier, I have not been able to accomplish anything. I am unworthy of the honorable position of the eldest son of the Great Qin!"
"I now order: Fusu to commit suicide in the northern border to apologize for the sins of the world!"
"The eighteenth prince Hu Hai is both talented and virtuous, and is the right person to inherit the throne of the Qin Dynasty."
"Immediately enthrone Hu Hai as the Second Emperor of Qin!"
"Appreciate this."
Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, the First Emperor's eyes suddenly exploded. He stared with wide eyes, his face full of horror.
The hand holding the will was shaking uncontrollably, and he was whispering.
"This is impossible, how could this be possible?"
"The will I personally drafted clearly ordered Fusu to preside over my funeral and take over the throne. How could I let him commit suicide to apologize?!"
"How did this will become like this?"
"How can a useless man like Hu Hai dare to take the throne of the Qin Dynasty?"
"I'm afraid he can't even recognize the names of all the officials in the court. If he becomes the emperor, won't the Qin Dynasty really be doomed?!"
The Emperor's eyes turned red as he stared at Ying Heng, gritting his teeth and saying, "Little Thirteen! Speak!"
"Did you tamper with this will?!"
"You are so cruel and ruthless that you even want to kill your brother and usurp the throne!"
The First Emperor was furious and stared at Ying Heng.
Ying Heng remained indifferent and responded calmly.
"Father, you should know in your heart who will execute this will."
"Zhao Gao is dead, is there no living executor?"
"You only need to ask to know the truth. There is no need to say more about such things."
"If I really want to deal with Fusu, I have a thousand ways to make him disappear quietly. Why would I bother to tamper with the will?"
"Father, are you underestimating me by making such assumptions?"
After Ying Heng finished speaking, he raised his cup and sipped, waiting for the First Emperor to wake up.
Opposite the First Emperor, he frowned and pondered the question deeply.
