My mind is a mess at this moment. I kept thinking in my heart: 'Even if the person who corrects the edict is Li Fuling, even if he wants to kill Fusu and replace Hu Hai like in history, so what, I can't do anything!
I don’t know whether Ying Zheng is dead or alive. What if Ying Zheng just fell ill and didn’t die? What if it was a trap set up by Ying Zheng and you want to see how I would react? Who dares to support me at this time? Feng Quji dared to come to me today. I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to take control of Xianyang with me and confirm Ying Zheng's situation...
Um? etc! Feng Quji? ! ! '
Cold sweat broke out on my back: 'Feng Quji! What if Feng Quji was lying to me? Maybe he wanted to be the emperor himself, and Shi Chuwuming needed to borrow a knife to kill someone! '
From the time Feng Quji entered the house to now, all the news I heard was told to me by Feng Quji. There was no second person to prove whether his words were true or false. I didn't even see the messenger who sent the letter. I couldn't help but be wary.
I was about to test Feng Quji when Bai Lingmu called out from afar: "Your Highness, someone is asking to see you, and they are extremely urgent!"
I glanced at Feng Quji, who nodded. I stood up and walked to the door, signaling the white-collar worker to bring him over.
Immediately, a man dressed as a ranger came over with Bai Lingmu. Bai Lingmu saluted and said, "Your Highness, this person has a sword and it has been confiscated. Do you need me to be by your side?"
My nerves have been tense since Feng Quji came. Now, let alone letting me see a ranger alone, even if I am a child, I am worried that he will stab me with a knife. I was just about to ask Bai Lingmu to stay next to me, when the visitor took out a token from his arms and wrote the word "clean room" on it.
Then he bowed and said, "I have seen His Highness in the Jiaodong Clean Room. Please step aside."
I looked at the visitor carefully. In the Qin Dynasty, there was an official named Jingshi Ling, who was an official subordinate to Lieutenant Lieutenant Cheng and performed the duties of clearing the way for the emperor when he was on tour.
However, the "clean room" token is not a token given to the clean room orderer and his subordinates, and the person holding the token is not under the control of the Sangong, Jiuqing, Lieutenants, but the secret agents under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Pu Xingzhong! The secret agent reported directly to Xingzhong, who reported to Yingzheng.
Except for officials above Qianshi, basically no one knew about the existence of the clean room. The identity is even more obscure, and only the word "clean room" is displayed to the outside world. If he is a county-level spy, he will be named by the county.
I waved Bai Lingmu to retreat. When Bai Lingmu walked away, he took out a piece of white silk and a square box from his arms.
The emperor’s edict! I just don’t know what the square box is.
The clean room handed me the edict and the square box: "Your Highness, this edict requires Your Highness to watch it before making any plans. Your Highness will know what is in the box at a glance. I want to leave." Then the man didn't even look back. left.
I opened the edict: I am fine. There is a thief who wants to rebel, and I don't know all about the people involved. I already know the three edicts, which secretly ordered him to return to Xianyang in the middle of the sentence. When he arrived in the middle of the sentence, he and Fusu went to Chengshan according to the false edict. The right prime ministers Feng Quji, Zong Zheng, Ying Wu, and Wei Wei were ordered to take charge of the armies in the north and south of Xianyang to protect the internal history. After reading this edict, Su was handed over to Ying Wu, and the tiger talisman was handed over to Feng Quji. Remember to keep things secret.
I opened the square box and saw that it was the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops. I felt a little relieved, but my suspicion about Feng Quji was not eliminated.
Turning around and returning to the house, Feng Quji immediately stood up and asked, "Your Highness, who is here?"
I said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. I have a plan, but I still need to wait for one person and sit down first." Now I can only wait until the execution comes before I can hand over the edict and the tiger talisman to a few people to confirm the authenticity. As for why you trust Xingzhong, if Xingzhong is also an accomplice of the false edict, wouldn't it be unnecessary to give me the tiger talisman?
Although Feng Quji had doubts, seeing that I had no intention of explaining, he slowly sat down and kept asking Lan'er to refill his tea.
In the blink of an eye, the red sun was about to set. Feng Quji wanted to ask me several times, but finally held back. But I was thinking: 'After all, the prince is a young man who has just tied his hair. Could he be frightened? '
I calculated the time. It should be relatively early to get the imperial edict from the clean room. Xing Zhong is a close guard of Ying Zheng. If he finds the opportunity, he will have to come back a little later. It should be here. Just when our patience was about to run out, Bai Lingmu finally led Xing Zhong in.
When Xing Zhong saw me, he anxiously saluted. He didn't even have time to wipe away the dust on his body and the sweat on his face. When he saw Feng Quji here, he hesitated and said, "Have you met the Prime Minister and His Highness, do you have a clean room?" Send the emperor’s things to you?”
Seeing the execution, I felt at ease and my tense nerves were slightly relaxed.
Feng Quji looked at me doubtfully, and I replied: "It has been delivered."
Then he apologized and said to Feng Quji: "Prime Minister, don't blame me. I just need to wait until the punishment comes before I can confirm the authenticity of this thing. I didn't mean to deceive."
Feng Quji quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Highness, veteran minister, you should be cautious in this troubled time."
I then said: "In that case, we will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately."
He turned around and called Bai Lingmu and Meng He in, and said: "Bai Lingmu, you immediately call Zong Zheng, Ying Wu and Wei Wei and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Meng He, you start preparing for your trip to Chengshan. After everything is arranged, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Wait for me at the mansion. Once the things here are done, we will set off immediately."
Although Feng Quji didn't know the specific situation, he still nodded slightly when he saw my arrangement: He is already a wise king!
Then the three of them immediately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As for why they were not in Xianyang Palace, it was all to save time. Although Ying Zheng said in the edict that he was fine, it was impossible for such a big thing to happen without any problems.
Not long after the three of them arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ying Wu and Qie followed closely.
The two of them saluted, and I didn't waste any time. I took out the edict and the tiger talisman and gave them to a few people to check their authenticity.
Several people were shocked when they saw the edict! Someone actually dared to do something treasonous.
Ying Wu said angrily: "It's really abominable that someone is trying to rebel. If we find out who it is, I will definitely report to the emperor and barbarize the nine tribes!"
Feng Quji was also horrified. He didn't expect that someone would actually rebel.
Then several people confirmed that the edict was correct, and then tested the tiger talisman sent with the tiger talisman in their hands, and there was no problem. Then he returned the edict and the tiger talisman to me, and I waved my hand: "You all already know the father's arrangement. Now I will hand over the edict to Zongzheng, half of the tiger talisman to the prime minister, and half of the tiger talisman will still be under your control. Xianyang will be under your control." I will immediately rush to Chengshan with Xingzhong."
Then he said solemnly: "The edict must be carried out with confidentiality. You all know the stakes of this matter, so please do not reveal the information."
Several of them were veterans, so they naturally bowed and said yes.
Meng He had already prepared the carriage and guards and was waiting at the door. Without saying anything, I took Xing Zhong and set off for Chengshan immediately.
The golden crow is no longer visible in the sky, but the power of the scorching sun is still there, leaving a fiery red light all over the sky, as if it is going to burn this land to the ground. I am afraid it will be an unbearable summer!
