"Uncle! The court is mourning! The eldest son commits suicide! My father is in prison for capital punishment!"
Mond shouted as he walked in and sat slumped on the ground.
"That's unreasonable! When did this happen?!"
Meng Yi, who had just prepared to go to the Ganquan Palace mourning hall to worship, was angry and shocked.
"Today, this morning's Daqin Daily."
Mond tremblingly took out a newspaper from his waist.
"I read!"
Meng Yi snatched the newspaper from Mond's hand, glanced at it, and couldn't help but fall to the ground.
"Someone! Someone come and get a doctor!"
Meng panicked and supported Meng Yi, shouting.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
I saw several men in black armor holding swords, rushing towards the two of them, shouting: "What happened? What happened to Lang Zhongling?!"
"I told you to call a doctor. What nonsense!"
Mond was furious and was about to attack the black armor who asked the question.
At this time, Meng Yi slowly opened his eyes, waved his hand and said: "I'm fine, you can go down!"
"uncle!"
"Go down"
"snort!"
The black armor snorted coldly, glanced at Mond with disdain, turned around and left.
Meng was so angry that he could do nothing about it, so he carefully helped Meng Yi into the room.
After a while, Meng Yi lay on the bed and said solemnly: "This matter is too strange. Could it be that the edict left by the late emperor to the prince was for the death of Fusu and Meng Tian?"
"How can this be!"
Mond was in disbelief.
Meng Yi slowly closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened his eyes suddenly and said coldly: "The imperial court announced the funeral in advance. All doubts are gone. This is clear!"
"oh?"
Mond's eyes lit up and he immediately handed over his hand: "My nephew is willing to be taught!"
"Before, I never knew why the late emperor appointed Hu Hai as the crown prince. Now that I think about it carefully, someone clearly wanted to overturn the overall situation of the court. The person who gave the death of the eldest son and elder brother was not the late emperor, but the crown prince."
"Prince?"
Mond frowned: "As for that kid Hu Hai, does he have this ability?"
"Why!"
Meng Yi sighed, shook his head and said: "The late emperor still believed in Li Si too much, otherwise he would never be allowed to lead the government alone."
"Uncle, are you saying that Li Si helped Hu Hai plan the edict to kill the eldest son and accuse my father?"
"Except for him, there is no other person in the world who can deceive your father!"
"hateful!"
Mond said angrily: "Li Si, that old man! I'll go find him right now!"
"It's useless. Li Si and Hu Hai are already in the right situation. We can only rely on speculation. How can we convince the world?"
Meng Yi shook his head sadly: "My brother voluntarily went to prison and didn't want to raise troops to go south. I'm afraid that's what he thinks.
The late emperor has passed away, and he had no intention of harming his ministers. How can we bring chaos to the country?
The eldest son is gone, even if Hu Hai takes the throne, he will still be the legitimate crown prince!
The world's security barriers are all in Jiuyuan. If we raise our troops and go south, the northern gate will be wide open, and the Great Wall will be useless. If the Huns go south in large numbers, how will we face the world? !
I have been a member of the Meng family for the third generation of the Qin Dynasty. I have been a generation of ancestors of the Meng family and have accumulated trust in the Qin Dynasty for three generations now! If we raise troops to rebel against the Qin Dynasty, we will definitely humiliate the Meng family for three generations, which is a great crime."
"pedantic! pedantic!"
After hearing Meng Yi's words, Mond was so angry that he jumped: "Uncle and father are so pedantic!"
"Young boy is also a Ting Weicheng after all, how can you speak so irritably?"
Meng Yi raised his head, his old eyes already filled with tears: "Even though Li Si is stuck in the quagmire, he will eventually have great ambitions. As long as Li Si gets what he wants, I believe he will repent one day. My Meng family will do the same." It’s time to step back from politics.”
After saying that, he said firmly: "Like my brother, I will go to jail and stand trial to buy time for you and the Meng family. Remember to take them with you, leave Xianyang, leave Guanzhong, and never come back!"
"No! I don't want to leave!"
"shut up!"
Meng Yi scolded, grabbed Meng Tian's arm, and said with tears:
"Our Meng family failed the moment the eldest son committed suicide. With Li Si's consciousness, it is impossible for him to let us go. This can be seen from his attack on Meng Tian!"
"If I die at the same time as your father, and the Meng family has no supporter, how will the clan survive? Do you want the Meng family to die with us?"
"uncle."
Mond suddenly threw himself at Meng Yi's bedside and cried bitterly.
the other side.
The woods on the west side of Hu Palace in Ganquan Mountain.
Yang Duanhe and Zhao Hao finally determined the identity of the assassin, who was an impermanent person.
The insider who works with Wu Chang is the captain in charge of Ganquan Palace.
At this time, they were in front of the corpse of the captain in charge.
But I heard Yang Duanhe say: "Sir, Wu Chang is a civilian killer organization. Even if we find out that they are responsible for this matter, we can't bring them to justice for the time being. How do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Li Tingwei asked me to assist you in investigating this matter. I just want the truth of this matter to be revealed and to give an explanation to all the ministers. Now that the identity of the assassin has been determined, you only need to report it truthfully. For the rest, let the ministers discuss and make decisions. !" Zhao Hao said seriously.
"In this case, I will report it immediately!"
"good!"
Zhao Hao nodded in response, and then watched Yang Duanhe leave.
About a moment later, Ying Ziyang brought someone here again.
"What? Mr. Jingyang has a new clue?" The first time Zhao Hao saw Ying Ziyang, he smiled and joked at him.
Ying Ziyang frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What clue?"
"The Impermanence Assassin killed my father and blew up my father's body. Doesn't Mr. Jingyang have new clues? Why are you here?"
"Hmph! I'm here to find you!"
"Find me?"
Zhao Hao looked at Ying Ziyang in surprise, not sure what he wanted.
But he saw Ying Ziyang smiling: "I heard that Young Master Hao likes delicious food, and would like to invite Young Master Hao to have a banquet with him!"
"Did I hear you right? Lord Jingyang actually invited me to a banquet!"
Zhao Hao was even more surprised.
"What? You don't dare to go?"
"Well, I really don't dare!"
"Why?"
This time it was Ying Ziyang's turn.
Zhao Hao said expressionlessly: "Because I'm afraid you'll poison me!"
"Nonsense!"
Ying Ziyang was furious: "How could I poison you? I want to kill you, why do I need to poison you?"
"Hey, hey, did you all hear this? Lord Jingyang wants to kill me, and you are all witnesses! Be careful that Lord Jingyang silences you!"
"You boy!"
Ying Ziyang was so angry at Zhao Hao that he almost vomited blood and wished he could kill him with a sword.
However, when he thought about the purpose of his trip, he suppressed the anger in his heart and remained silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, everyone around them looked at each other in confusion.
At this time, Wuya came from a distance, whispered a few words to Zhao Hao, then stepped aside and looked directly at Ying Ziyang.
As long as Ying Ziyang dared to order action against Zhao Hao, he would definitely be the first to kill Ying Ziyang.
About a moment later, when he saw Ying Ziyang's face turned the color of pig liver, Zhao Hao said lightly: "You must be on guard against others. Who knows what good intentions you have!"
"You don't know what's good and what's wrong! You deserve not to be made a prince!"
Ying Ziyang finally lost his temper and left such a sentence.
But Zhao Hao said noncommittally: "Jingyang Jun doesn't need to worry about my son's affairs. If there is nothing else, I will return to the palace!"
After saying this, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
"What are you waiting for?"
Zhao Hao paused and turned to look at Ying Ziyang.
He knew that this guy definitely had bad intentions, but he wouldn't really leave.
Seeing that Ying Ziyang was silent for a while, he said seriously: "There is someone who wants to meet you!"
"who?"
"Jun Chang'an, Ying Chengyu!"
"oh"
Zhao Hao nodded pretending to be surprised, and then sighed with a joking face: "I didn't expect that he is still alive!"
"Ah!"
Ying Ziyang chuckled and asked with a half-smile, "See you?"
"What's wrong with meeting him?"
Zhao Hao smiled faintly and left with Ying Ziyang.
At the same time, Li Si summoned all the three ministers and nine ministers in the main hall of Ganquan Palace.
Informed the ministers about the national mourning.
Of course, there was nothing to hide about Fusu and Mengtian, so he informed all the ministers.
The result was just as he imagined, and all the officials were shocked.
"How could this happen!? How could the late emperor grant death to the eldest son! I want to examine the late emperor's edict!"
After listening to Li Si's report, Feng Jie was the first to stand up and express doubts.
Li Si glanced at him with a calm expression and said calmly: "The emperor's edict is a secret edict sent to the prince. If the imperial censor wants to check it, the prince himself agrees!"
"That's unreasonable! I am a censor, and I have the right to supervise any government documents!"
"presumptuous!"
Hu Hai, who had been sitting silently in a high position, suddenly slapped the table: "Although you are a censor, you are also a minister. Although I am the crown prince, you are also a king. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous here?"
Wow!
The whole place was in an uproar.
None of them seemed to have expected that Hu Hai had such courage and dared to scold Feng Jie in person.
Feng Jie's face turned red, obviously very angry with Hu Hai.
In his eyes, Hu Hai was just a kid with a yellow mouth. He had never been scolded like this in front of the First Emperor. It was simply unreasonable for a kid with a yellow mouth to scold him in front of the ministers.
"Well, since the prince does not agree with Feng Gong to check the edict, what about this matter."
"Wait a moment!"
"Um?"
The next moment Li Si was about to reveal the matter, Meng Yi stood up, raised his hands and said: "I am the third generation hero of the Meng family, the third generation of loyalty, and I have great respect for both the army and the people. My brother guards the border and blocks the Xiongnu. Can the imperial court defeat the sky?
At present, the Huns are watching with eager eyes and are determined to invade the south. I hope the court will allow my brother to atone for his crimes and continue to be loyal to the country! "
"Yes, Duke Meng serves the country and the people and cannot die!"
After hearing Meng Yi's words, all the ministers stood up and agreed with Meng Yi.
Li Si glanced at them expressionlessly, then turned around and handed over to Hu Hai: "The prince is the crown prince, and the prince can make the decision on this matter!"
His tone was cold and emotionless, leaving Hu Hai unsure of how to make a decision.
Last night, Zhao Gao taught him a lot, which made him dare to scold Feng Jie in person.
Now that Meng Yi suddenly stood up to plead for Meng Tian, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Because Zhao Gao didn't teach him this.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more embarrassing, some beads of sweat slowly appeared on his forehead.
Zhao Gao sighed helplessly, stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, the old minister thinks that Li Tingwei is right. The prince is the prince canonized by the late emperor, and the edict is the legacy left by the late emperor. The prince should be responsible for this matter." decision!"
He said the word "Xiandi" very strongly, and Hu Hai immediately grasped the key point.
I saw Hu Hai rectifying his body and mind, and said in a solemn tone: "Everything the doctor said makes sense, and I also want to re-activate the general."
"but."
As he said that, he changed the subject and continued: "My father's body is still cold, is the doctor going to let this prince violate his orders? Is this what a minister should do?"
"But."
Meng Yi opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly he heard Li Si speak again: "The matter of the general will be interrogated by the Tingwei Mansion before making a decision. For now, it should be a national mourning!"
"this"
The ministers looked at each other, looking at each other.
"Dismiss the dynasty!"
Seeing that no one stood up to speak again, Li Si took matters into his own hands and announced his withdrawal from the court.
The prince Hu Hai was not taken seriously during the whole process.
However, Hu Hai was not angry at all and followed Zhao Gao back to his palace.
"Prince, Fusu and the Meng family will eventually become one. If Fusu dies but the Meng family survives, great disaster will occur!"
As soon as he returned to Hu Hai's palace, Zhao Gao handed over his hand with a serious look on his face: "Back then, Your Majesty wanted to establish the crown prince as the heir apparent. The Meng family tried to dissuade him several times and said no! Who is Meng Yi? He is His Majesty's confidant!
The Meng family was devoted to Fusu, but now Fusu is dead, Meng Tian is in prison, and the prince has offended the Meng family. If the Meng family chooses another person to join them, such as Young Master Hao, can the prince successfully ascend the throne and become emperor? "
"Teacher, what you mean is that the Meng family is going to rebel?" Hu Hai was suddenly horrified.
"There is no doubt that we will rebel!"
"What's the plan?"
"Not only can Meng Tian not be reinstated, but Meng Yi must also be imprisoned!"
Zhao Gao has been waiting for this day for a long time. With the hatred between him and Meng Yi, he can no longer restrain himself from attacking the Meng family at this time.
However, Hu Hai didn't seem to care about the Meng family, but instead cared about Zhao Hao.
But I heard him say cautiously: "What about the thirteenth brother Hu Hai?"
It was obvious that what he feared most in his heart was not Fusu, but Zhao Hao.
As if he had read through Hu Hai's thoughts, Zhao Gao smiled hoarsely: "On Zhao Hao's side, I already have a countermeasure. The prince does not need to worry. Now we should deal with the Meng family and prevent the Meng family from getting in touch with Young Master Hao!"
"Oh——, Brother Thirteen doesn't have the help of the Meng family, so he doesn't have the strength to rebel against me. Is that what you mean?"
"The prince is wise!"
"Okay! The prince knows!"
Hu Hai was angry at his wit. Suddenly, he remembered something again and said angrily: "There is also Feng Jie. This prince dislikes him very much. Can he be dismissed from his official position?"
"Well"
Zhao Gao twitched the corner of his mouth and said in his heart that the three princes and nine ministers can be deposed at will. You are really a good candidate for being a fool. However, if you are not a fool, how can I have another chance?
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Gao added: "Although we cannot depose him immediately, we can imprison him and wait until the prince ascends the throne before making a decision!"
"Okay! Then imprison him first!"
"I do as the prince wishes!"
Zhao Gao smiled and bowed, then exited Hu Hai's palace.
At the same time, several beautiful palace maids, Yingying, entered Hu Hai's palace.
"Order from the Zhao Palace, there is something urgent to report in Xianyang!"
The next moment Zhao Gao was about to go to Li Si to discuss the Meng family, a small palace attendant ran over from a distance.
"What's the matter?"
"Gong Zhao, Qing's Trading Company has agreed to give you 30% of the property. I hope you will protect them. Now, Zhao Chi is heading to Qing's Trading Company to help them seize power!"
"snort!"
Zhao Gao snorted coldly and said with great disdain: "How can a mere lowly businessman be qualified to be protected by me? When Zhao Chi helps them gain power, kill all the Qing clan members immediately! All the properties of the Qing clan's trading house will be attributed to me. Down!"
"promise!"
