Chapter 279 Fusu, what if the will ordered your death?

Fusu was also stunned at this time. His younger brother actually had thousands of such powerful Snow Dragon Riders?

Wouldn't it be possible to directly attack the heartland of the Xiongnu and wipe out the northern grasslands in one fell swoop?
Also, my father was appointed commander-in-chief by his younger brother?

How could my father agree to this?

Isn't this putting the priorities wrong?
Shouldn't the emperor appoint my younger brother as general?

Why didn’t my father make this clear that night in the north?

Now, Fusu had no idea about the relationship between his father and his brother, but he at least understood one thing.

In this situation, even the father has to obey his younger brother's orders.

And if he really took any action, his brother could destroy him at any time.

Although Fusu was still somewhat unwilling in his heart, the lump on his head reminded him that it was still unclear whether his brother would eliminate him, but at this moment, his father would really beat him up!
At this moment, he no longer dared to mention the matter of gathering three thousand guests to attack Zhangtai Palace...

Regardless of whether his father was under duress, now that he had made the situation clear, Fusu no longer mentioned the Thirteenth Emperor's usurpation of the throne.

Of course, he didn't mention taking action, but the reason had to be made clear.

"Father, no matter what, you must give an explanation for Prime Minister Li Si's rebellion, right?"

"It's ok for other officials to be dismissed, but Li Si is the left prime minister of our Great Qin!"

"Shouldn't the officials be given an explanation as to whether the Left Prime Minister should stay or go?"

Fusu is tenacious and he will not give up without reason.

There was no way of knowing how the First Emperor and Ying Heng felt about his words, but all the officials in the court echoed him.

"That's right. Regarding Prime Minister Li Si, they only say that he usurped the throne. What exactly happened? Did he have accomplices? What did he do? There should be an explanation, right?"

Hearing this, the First Emperor took a deep breath.

Originally, he didn't want to talk about this matter on this occasion.

After all, he faked his death and planned to pass the throne to Fusu in secret.

Later, the appearance of Thirteen disrupted all plans.

Mentioning the will now no longer has much meaning, and it may even bring shame to the royal family.

However, since Ying Heng has taken off his mask today, disregarding his dignity and publicly admitting that he is a general of Shisanfeng, what else is there to worry about?

So, the First Emperor took a deep breath and prepared to tell the fact that the original edict was to have Fusu succeed to the throne, but it was later tampered with to have him commit suicide and then be saved by Thirteenth Emperor.

"Half a year ago, I was seriously ill and I was in seclusion drafting my will, deciding to pass the throne to Fusu."

When the First Emperor said this, the whole audience was in an uproar again. Seriously ill?
Closed door?
So this is how the news of the emperor’s death spread at that time?
At that time, he also drafted a will to pass the throne to Fusu? !

Where is the will?
I haven’t seen it!

"wrong!"

"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Prince broke into your bedroom, and when he came out, Zhao Gao was dead."

"Mr. Thirteen declared in public that you did not leave a will!"

"what on earth is it?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone recalled the past.

At first, the Thirteenth Prince did say in front of everyone that he did not leave a will, and he had no choice but to take up the banner and save the Qin Dynasty.

At that time, everyone already had doubts.

Now, the First Emperor personally clarified that there was a will, and that the throne was passed to Fusu! Hearing this, not only the ministers were shocked, but Fusu was also startled, his heart was pounding.

Father, you actually issued an edict to pass the throne of the Great Qin to me? !
Then why was the will not made public?
They said that Thirteenth Brother announced that his father did not leave a will. What’s going on?

Thirteenth brother, do you want to monopolize the throne? !
At this moment, Fusu looked at Ying Heng with eyes full of anger.

Who could have known that the throne had fallen into his hands, but now it fell into the hands of others? It is impossible not to think too much.

However, before Fusu could take any action, things took a turn for the worse.

All I heard was the Emperor continue: "However..."

"The traitor Zhao Gao colluded with Li Si and tampered with my will."

"Originally, Fusu should have been enthroned as the new emperor, but they tampered with the order to order Fusu and General Meng Tian to commit suicide, intending to support the 18-year-old Prince Hu Hai as the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty!"

boom! !

These words came out like a bolt from the blue, and the whole audience was instantly boiling.

Hu Hai, who had been curled up in the corner, now collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning, his face pale and bloodless. Fear made his face distorted and his heart was beating like a drum, almost jumping out of his chest.

There was only one thought left in his mind: everything was over, completely over...

He knew that his father would never let him go this time.

But he is really innocent!
He never had the idea of ​​usurping the throne. All this was a conspiracy of Zhao Gao and Li Si!
The whole audience was in an uproar, and all eyes were cast towards Hu Hai in the corner.

His face was ashen and he lay there stiffly. The glaring yellow liquid oozed out of his crotch again, attracting everyone's contemptuous looks.

They questioned in their hearts, how could such a waste want to usurp the throne and become emperor? Did he have the courage and ability to do so?
The First Emperor witnessed all this and sighed inwardly.

Hu Hai's character was indeed not strong enough for him to usurp the throne. He did not have that courage.

It seems that Xiao Shisan's guess was correct.

All of this was planned by Zhao Gao, whose purpose was to push Hu Hai onto the throne so that he could manipulate the court in the future, control the resources of the Qin Dynasty, and eventually seize the throne.

Fortunately, Xiao Shisan discovered all of this early on and nipped it in the bud.

However, this was the first time that the ministers learned the truth, and they were so shocked that their mouths were opened wide enough to swallow the eggs.

"How dare Zhao Gao do such a rebellious thing?"

"Did he really tamper with the will and ask Prince Fusu and General Meng Tian to commit suicide? And he also wanted to support Prince Hu Hai to ascend the throne?"

"Just based on the cowardly appearance of Prince Hu Hai, if he really ascends to the throne, wouldn't the Qin Empire collapse in an instant?"

"No, Zhao Gao did this on purpose!"

"He wants to push Master Hu Hai to the stage, and then control Hu Hai from behind the scenes to gain control of the power!"

At this point, the ministers couldn't help but gasp after discussing this.

Thinking of Zhao Gao's sinister character and his assassins, if Hu Hai were to be in power, the Qin Dynasty would probably fall into Zhao Gao's hands soon.

At that time, Daqin would be trapped both internally and externally, and the consequences would be disastrous!
Everyone looked at Fusu again, only to see that his face was pale. After hearing what the First Emperor said, he took several steps back.

The First Emperor continued to ask: "Fusu, tell me, if you saw such an edict ordering you to commit suicide, what would you do?"

Fusu was extremely confused, his face was pale and his eyes were dull. He couldn't imagine how he would face such an edict in the north.

He could only murmur, "Father, you are the emperor appointed by heaven and earth. Since this is your will, I... I... will naturally..."

Having said this, Fusu could no longer speak.
