When Li Si returned to the mansion, he always felt uneasy, especially the look he made with Chun He before leaving still appears in front of him.
It was an extremely familiar look, but that face was a face I had never seen before.
What exactly is going on?
Li Si kept asking himself questions on the way back, but he still didn't understand it until he returned to the mansion.
At this time, he was pacing back and forth in the hall of his mansion, his brows furrowed, looking very worried.
"Father, are you back?"
"Um?"
Just when Li Si had no clue, a familiar voice came from outside the door. He couldn't help but follow the sound. When he saw it was his second son Li Zhan, he said coldly: "You are not studying in Wensi Pavilion, so what are you doing back home?"
"this"
Li Zhan, who had just taken half a step forward, subconsciously retracted his feet when he heard Li Si's words, and said cautiously: "The teacher didn't come today. It is said that the young prince asked him to make up for the lesson. We couldn't wait for the teacher, so we came back on our own! "
"oh?"
Li Si narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said with a majestic look: "How is the young prince's studies?"
"I heard from the teacher that he is the smartest prince after Young Master Hao."
Li Zhan answered cautiously, curling his lips and muttering in a low voice: "I think he is far worse than Young Master Hao, even worse than the eldest Young Master."
"snort!"
Li Si snorted coldly and scolded: "It is against the law to talk about the prince in private! You should take care of your own studies first, learn more from your brother, and don't talk nonsense all day long!"
Li Zhan's face turned pale after being scolded by Li Si, and he quickly bowed and saluted: "Father, calm down, my son will go and review his lessons."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave the hall door.
At this moment, Li Si suddenly remembered something and said calmly: "Do you still have contact with Young Master Hao?"
"ah?"
Li Zhan paused, then subconsciously turned around and asked, "Isn't Mr. Hao in the South China Sea? Is he back?"
As he spoke, he said excitedly: "I'll go find him right now!"
"Wait!"
Li Si scolded again, narrowed his eyes and said, "Did you forget your homework?"
"But."
Li Zhan wanted to say a few more words, but when he met Li Si's sharp gaze, he was instantly intimidated. He quickly bowed his hands and said, "My child, please leave!"
Until now, he still hadn't figured it out. His father had clearly intended for him to be friends with Zhao Hao before, but why now when Zhao Hao was mentioned, his father seemed to be a different person.
Could it be that something happened to Zhao Hao and his father didn't want to get too involved with him?
However, when we were in Xianyang, several of us burned incense and became sworn sworn brothers with Zhao Hao. They were brothers of the opposite sex who "did not seek to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month and the same day"!
If I renounce my relationship with Zhao Hao at this time, wouldn't it be a breach of trust?
Didn't my father always say that a person should be honest?
Why do you have to betray your trust when you are here?
Thinking of this, Li Zhan was in a state of confusion. He was going to go to Mond to discuss Zhao Hao's matter!
On the other side, Li Si, who was watching Li Zhan leave, pondered for a moment and then ordered outside the door: "Go to Zhao Gao's mansion and call Zhao Gao!"
About half an hour later, Zhao Gao hurriedly walked out of the door and held his hands humbly: "Zhao Gao, meet the Prime Minister!"
"Um?"
Li Si was stunned for a moment, then said with a straight face: "What do you mean?"
"In a few days, you will be the Prime Minister, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. I am just congratulating the Prime Minister in advance!" Zhao Gao said with a smile.
Li Si said expressionlessly: "I am not your Majesty, don't play such clever tricks in front of me! Otherwise, I will make you die in an ugly way!"
"Yes, yes, I don't dare anymore..."
Zhao Gao was startled and quickly bowed to the ground.
"snort!"
Li Si snorted coldly, looked up at the door, and said solemnly: "Come with me, I have something to discuss with you."
"promise."
at the same time.
The body of the 'First Emperor' has been moved to an ice cellar deep in Ganquan Mountain, because it is as cold as winter and is more suitable for corpse preservation.
Walking in the corridor leading to the ice cellar, Yao Jia and the accompanying officials of the Tingwei Mansion could not help but tremble frequently. Tang Sui on the side was calm as usual, obviously well prepared.
"General Tang, can I ask you to add a few more clothes when you go back before inspecting your majesty's body?" Yao Jia couldn't help but ask Tang Suidao.
Tang Sui glanced at him expressionlessly, then looked at the official of Tingwei Mansion who was also shivering with cold, and said calmly:
"His Majesty passed away suddenly and spent two months on the road. The weather outside was hot and spots had appeared on the body. If it was not frozen, it would probably rot.
Now, we can only wait for you to complete the inspection before embalming. The cold air in this ice cellar is released a little less. If His Majesty's body is damaged, can you bear the responsibility? "
"this"
Yao Jia was speechless and didn't know what to say.
But I heard an official from the Tingwei Palace interjecting in a low voice: "Is it safe for His Majesty's body to be placed here? Why don't I see anyone guarding it here?"
"Iron Eagle Guard!"
Tang Sui directly highlighted three words.
As these words fell, groups of Iron Eagle Guards, who were well-equipped and equipped with the latest weapons in their hands, walked out of the corridor with neat steps.
Iron Eagle Guard!
hiss!
When they heard these three words, the officials of Tingwei Mansion, including Yao Jia, couldn't help but take a breath.
Thousands of people once wiped out the Iron Eagle Swordsmen of Bashu, but now there are so many of the most mysterious Iron Eagle Guards in the Qin Dynasty guarding His Majesty.
I don't know if it was because they were guarding the ice cellar, but these Iron Eagle Guards came out of the corridor with an unspeakable coldness on their bodies, as if they had come from hell.
The officials of the Tingwei Mansion who stood behind Yao Jia and next to Tang Sui were already shivering from the cold air in the corridor, and now they were as silent as cicadas.
Tang Sui looked back at Yao Jia, and then at the officials of Tingwei Mansion. He sneered in his heart, but his mouth was calm as usual: "Let's go, don't waste time!"
After saying that, he walked through the corridor given by the Iron Eagle Guard and strode towards the ice cellar.
Yao Jia, who originally wanted to go back and add more clothes, did not dare to say a word at this time, so he could only honestly lead a few officials from the Tingwei Palace and follow Tang Sui.
And the moment they stepped into the ice cellar, the originally dark and cold ice cellar suddenly burst into light.
These rays of light, without any heat, are like stars in the sky.
Yao Jia discovered their secret immediately. They turned out to be fist-sized night pearls.
However, isn’t the most precious and best luminous pearl in the Qin Dynasty used as a star in the Lishan Emperor’s Mausoleum? Why are there so many luminous pearls here?
And it seems that these luminous pearls are better and brighter than those in Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum.
What's going on?
Just when Yao Jia was puzzled, Tang Sui's voice suddenly came: "In front is the coffin where His Majesty's body is stored. You can inspect it by yourself. When the inspection is completed, I will send you out!"
"Um?"
Yao Jia was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had reached the depths of the ice cellar unknowingly.
There is a huge temporary stone platform there. On the stone platform is an uncovered bronze coffin. Above the bronze coffin, there is a bright night pearl, which is like a ray of cold moonlight shining on the coffin, which looks very magical. .
"this"
Yao Jia and several officials from the Tingwei Palace looked at each other, and they all saw a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes. However, none of them spoke, they just nodded to each other, and then slowly came to the bronze coffin.
Inside the bronze coffin, the 'First Emperor' was lying inside with a pale face, as if he was sleeping.
Although the 'First Emperor' looked slightly bloated than normal people at this time, it was not difficult to tell from his face that the person in front of him was indeed the 'First Emperor'.
When Yao Jia was sure at first glance that the person in front of him was the 'First Emperor', he felt a lot more relaxed.
Before, he thought that the news of the death of the 'First Emperor' was false, and he was uneasy about Li Si's bold actions. Now that he saw the body of the 'First Emperor' with his own eyes, the uneasy feeling in his heart disappeared instantly.
Because no one in the world except the First Emperor can stop his old friend Li Si.
In terms of strategy and ingenuity, no one in the entire Great Qin Dynasty could be Li Si's opponent.
However, just when he was longing for the perfect match between himself and Li Si, several officials from the Tingwei Mansion around him seemed to see something extremely shocking.
Eyes wide open.
The direction of his gaze seemed to be right behind the bronze coffin.
what?
Yao Jia also followed the gazes of several people and looked over curiously.
It doesn't matter if you don't see it.
At first glance, the whole person seemed to have been cast on some kind of immobilization technique. He stood there for a long time without moving.
Behind the bronze coffin, where no light shines, there is a huge dark seat.
Of course, this seat was not the key to their shock.
What really shocked them was the tall figure standing next to the seat.
To be precise, it was a figure wearing black robes with his back to them.
As for why they were so shocked when they saw this figure that they couldn't move, it was mainly because they thought of a person.
A person who scares them from the bottom of their hearts, to their very core.
That person also likes to wear a black robe. There is no need to say more about that person's name.
There is probably only one person in the world who can make an important official of the empire like Yao Jia feel scared.
"Your Majesty."
Yao Jia trembled and spat out two words from his mouth.
However, before he could finish the rest of the words, the figure with his back to them turned around from the seat, and then revealed a golden mask.
On the golden mask, there was no mouth or nose, only a pair of narrow eyes.
Because of the distance, no one could see clearly the eyes under the mask.
"I am the chief commander of Yin Yang Palace, and I am here to embalm your majesty's body. After you have completed the inspection, it will be my turn next!"
A voice that seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, with an indescribable chill, poured into the ears of Yao Jia and others.
When they heard this sound that they had never heard before, several people who had been too frightened to move suddenly came back to their senses.
no!
This is not that man!
Yao Jia and several officials of the Tingwei Mansion breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads in unison.
Perhaps, this so-called Chief Commander of Yin Yang Palace is just similar in stature to His Majesty.
Such an idea appeared in several people's minds.
At this moment, Tang Sui's voice sounded again: "Ministers, can you finish the inspection? The time has come!"
"Ah? This"
After hearing Tang Sui's words, everyone realized that they had only confirmed the face of the First Emperor, but not the body and specific characteristics of the First Emperor.
"General Tang Sui, wait a moment, let's"
"What? But what happened to His Majesty's body?"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Tang Sui rushed over in three steps and asked in a deep voice.
"this"
The official of Tingwei Mansion who just spoke looked at Yao Jia subconsciously when faced with Tang Sui's inquiry.
I saw Yao Jia frowning slightly, and then his eyes fell on the 'First Emperor' in the coffin again, and found that the face was indeed that of the 'First Emperor', so he hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said: "No problem!"
"Yao Tingwei"
"Okay, we should go out. His Majesty's body is indeed fine!"
After saying this, Yao Jia bowed his hands to Tang Sui and then walked off the stone platform.
Several officials of the Tingwei Mansion looked at each other and followed Yao Jia without saying anything more.
When he was about to leave the ice cellar, Yao Jia turned around for some reason and glanced at the stone platform from a distance.
But this time, he seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen, and his eyes widened.
supernatural event? His Majesty is resurrected
impossible!
Yao Jia's eyes widened, and he was so frightened that he couldn't describe it.
The moment he turned around, the man who claimed to be the Grand Commander of Yin Yang Palace appeared next to the bronze coffin and looked at them coldly.
With the help of the luminous pearl above the bronze coffin, he seemed to see clearly the eyes under the golden mask!
However, just when he rubbed his eyes and wanted to take a closer look, he saw nothing.
Kakakaka~~~
There was a sound of the machine turning.
The stone door of the ice cellar at the foot of Ganquan Mountain was slowly closed.
Tang Sui led Yao Jia and several officials of the Tingwei Mansion out of the corridor and saw the light again.
Rays of warm sunshine shone on them, making them feel like they were in another world.
But Tang Sui was the first to speak: "Yao Tingwei, several ministers, the inspection of His Majesty's body has been completed, and the general has other things to do, so I won't send you out!"
"General Tang, you're welcome, please do as you please!"
Yao Jia smiled and bowed his hands, then watched Tang Sui leave.
After Tang Sui left, he glanced at the entrance of the ice cellar thoughtfully, then suppressed his smile and said to the officials of the Tingwei Mansion beside him;
"The official document of the inspection will be written based on what you have seen and heard. After you have finished writing it, it will be handed over to me for review. Then, together with the imperial censor's office and the imperial physician's office, a document will be issued!"
"promise!"
Several officials of the Tingwei Mansion looked at each other and then agreed in unison.
Soon, the carriage that picked them up arrived in front of them.
Without saying a word, Yao Jia boarded the carriage and said quickly: "Send me to Li Tingwei's mansion quickly!"
Please give me monthly tickets, please recommend tickets, please follow up on subscriptions, and please give me full subscriptions!
