"call"
After recovering from the shock, Li Si slowly exhaled a breath and stared straight at Zhao Hao, involuntarily thinking of a familiar figure.
'Without ceding land, without paying indemnity, without making peace, without paying tribute, the crown prince defends the country, and the king dies in the country. King Hao of Qin's heart was even greater than that of the late emperor. He lost, and this time he was truly convinced! '
Li Si has compared himself with the First Emperor more than once, because he deserves at least half of the credit for the First Emperor's greatness.
However, when facing Zhao Hao, he never had the upper hand.
Whether it was discussing politics in the Doctor's Palace or enumerating the confrontation with Zhao Hao, a deep sense of powerlessness suddenly came to my mind.
'The prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. The prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. '
Not only Li Si, but all the ministers present chanted this sentence repeatedly in their hearts. As they repeated this sentence repeatedly, their blood couldn't help but boil with excitement.
Once upon a time, they were also rare passionate young people who followed the First Emperor to unify the six kingdoms and conquer the world. However, as the Qin Dynasty continued to achieve success and the First Emperor suddenly passed away, their mentality gradually changed, and they lost their original high-spiritedness.
At this moment, hearing Zhao Hao's words seemed to be revitalized, making them feel the energy of their youth.
"how so."
Zhao Gao looked at the scene in front of him with an ugly expression. He couldn't imagine it. Everything was clearly in his plan. Zhao Hao also agreed to Hu Hai to go to Yuyang County to resist the Huns. How could he in turn encourage Hu Hai to guard some country?
What should we do if Hu Hai is so enthusiastic that he agrees to guard some country?
Thinking of this situation, Zhao Gao quickly winked at Hu Hai and told him not to be impulsive.
However, Zhao Hao took a step forward, stood between him and Hu Hai, took out a dagger, cut his palm, let the blood fall from his palm, and shouted loudly: "The ghosts and gods of heaven and earth are above us." , all ministers have witnessed that Zhao Hao swears here that my brothers will work together to defend the dignity of the country!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Hu Hai and said with piercing eyes: "I dare to ask the prince, if he has the courage to guard the country, if he is willing to follow the footsteps of his father, anyone who offends our Qin Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is!"
"this"
Hu Hai's eyelids twitched, wondering how he should answer this? Isn't this putting oneself on the fire? The teacher will definitely not agree!
In fact, during the period after Zhao Hao rewarded them for their merits, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were not idle either. They were almost inseparable.
In addition to various political affairs that must be dealt with, a topic the two often discuss is how to make all dissenters disappear and how to make Hu Hai enjoy the joy of being emperor as soon as possible.
In the end, it was Hu Hai who summed up three hidden worries: First, he was not confident enough to be the prince, and the ministers were not convinced. Secondly, all the princes are dissatisfied with the merits and political achievements that cannot be taken. Third, Zhao Hao is in power and must be replaced.
With these three worries in mind, Hu Hai once asked Zhao Gao seriously.
Zhao Gao knew Hu Hai best, so he suggested him to go from difficult to easy.
Although Zhao Hao seems to be bold and bold, he always maintains a bottom line, because there are countless pairs of eyes in the world staring at him, and he does not dare to replace him.
Just obey him for a while and everything will work out.
In addition, Zhao Gao also suggested to Hu Hai that after Zhao Hao left Xianyang, he would start changing the law, first kill the royal princes to consolidate the throne, and then kill the disobedient ministers to clean up the court.
But now, after listening to Zhao Hao's passionate words, Hu Hai suddenly felt that there was no need to go to such trouble, as long as he went to Yuyang County, his three worries would be gone.
At that time, who can stop yourself from enjoying yourself?
Didn’t Brother Thirteen say that?
I earned this throne by my own merit!
Who dares to dissent?
Thinking of this, Hu Hai's eyes gradually turned red, and a feeling of warm blood made his heart surge.
However, he still couldn't make up his mind.
At this moment, the four brothers of His Highness' generals said in unison: "My brothers swear that they are willing to work together to defend the dignity of the country!"
"Those who offend my country, the Qin Dynasty, will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
"The prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!"
"The prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!"
"The prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!"
As the four Jianglu brothers finished speaking, the civil and military officials from Zhao Hao's faction stood up and echoed one after another, their voices louder than the others, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was instantly ignited.
Under such an atmosphere, more and more ministers couldn't help but stand up.
"Jiujiao Lao Qin, we will fight against the national calamity together!"
"Jiujiao Lao Qin, we will fight against the national calamity together!"
"Jiujiao Lao Qin, we will fight against the national calamity together!"
This is the unique oath of the old Qin people, and it is also the attitude echoed by the veterans of the empire.
Wei Liao had a complicated look on his face and forgot to glance at his closed disciple. He raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen the future of the empire.
Beside him, Zhang Han looked seriously at the hesitant Hu Hai, showing a somewhat thoughtful expression.
At this time, Feng Quji slowly stood up and said seriously: "The ambition of the late emperor is incomparable to that of the sun and the moon. The words of King Qin can be clearly framed and told to the world!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand: "This is not what I said, this is what the prince said."
Feng Quji's heart moved slightly, and he immediately understood what Zhao Hao meant. He turned to Hu Hai and cupped his hands and said, "The prince's heroic posture is really a blessing to our Qin Dynasty and a blessing to the country!"
"Hero Prince!"
"Long live the prince!"
All the ministers were also smart people, and they immediately flattered Hu Hai.
Hu Hai had never seen such a scene before. He was fooled by the shouts of 'Hero of the Crown Prince' and 'Long Live the Crown Prince'. Zhao Gao, who did not see His Highness at all and almost blinked his eyes out, said with a blushing face:
"The one I fear the most is the late emperor. Naturally, I want to follow in the footsteps of the late emperor. When the late emperor faced the six-nation coalition, he was fearless. What should I fear when facing the mere Huns?"
After saying that, he directly took the dagger from Zhao Hao's hand and made a cut on his palm. He said vigorously and proudly: "I swear that the majesty of the Qin Kingdom will not be violated by anyone. Anyone who harms the majesty of our Da Qin Kingdom will pay blood for blood. Tooth for tooth!"
"The prince is wise!"
"The prince is wise!"
"The prince is wise!"
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
As soon as Hu Hai finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly rose. There were more people in agreement than Zhao Hao had before, and the voices were louder, as if they were about to overturn the dome of the hall.
At this moment, Hu Hai slowly came to Zhao Hao and stood side by side with Zhao Hao on the ninth level. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said plausibly: "Thirteenth brother, Hu Hai is not weaker than you. This For once, Hu Hai will walk in front of you!"
"It's over."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Gao closed his eyes in pain.
He should have thought long ago that Qin Wang Hao would not leave Xianyang so easily.
The saying about the prince guarding the country and the king dying in the country is more pleasant to say than to sing. It is just to let Hu Hai die on the battlefield and then successfully succeed to the throne.
This guy is really more poisonous than me!
On the other side, inside the tunnel of the Yizheng Palace.
Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to himself: "If you don't cede land, don't pay compensation, don't make peace, don't pay tribute, the prince will guard the country, and the king will die. How dare you say that! "
"What does a prince guard the country?" Laifu asked with some confusion.
"Hmph! That kid told Hu Hai that the prince will guard the country and the king will die in the country, so he instigated Hu Hai to die!" Ying Zheng was a little disdainful, but his eyes had betrayed what he was thinking.
Laifu looked serious but did not speak.
After a long while, Ying Zheng said with emotion: "Come on, I don't want my son to die, but I also hope that my son can do it. The prince guards the country, and the king dies in the country. Isn't it very contradictory? "
"this"
Laifu hesitated for a moment, then asked with a smile: "May I ask Your Majesty, since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, has any country been able to do this, where the prince guards the country and the king dies in the country?"
"Hehehe"
Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head, sighing: "If there is really a country that can do it, what will happen to me, Great Qin? I am afraid that the one who can unify the six countries is not me, Great Qin!"
"So, is this the first of its kind in the past and present?"
"It is also!"
Ying Zheng raised his head and smiled, jokingly saying: "That boy is more majestic than me!"
"Your Majesty is a real dragon. When the mythical beast Qilin sees you, he has to say hello to you. Who is as majestic as your Majesty?" Laifu said with a smile.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and nodded Laifu's forehead, pretending to be displeased and said: "You are becoming more and more glib, you should be beaten!"
"Your Majesty said that this slave should be beaten."
Laifu nodded and bowed with a smile.
"Let's go back and wait for that boy. I have something to say to him."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and left the tunnel of the Yizheng Hall with Laifu.
At the same time, on the Great Wall of Yunzhong County.
Fusu looked at the slightly hazy figure of the Great Wall under the clouds in the afternoon. An unprecedented worry and uneasiness crept into his heart. Slightly, his hand pressing the hilt of the sword at his waist began to sweat, greasy. of.
This was supposed to be the time for Jiuyuan to send troops to stop the Huns, but not long ago, Zhao Hao asked people from the Security Bureau to bring a secret letter, saying that he would take advantage of the Huns' march south to completely solve domestic and foreign problems.
The secret letter did not mention any specific plans, but only asked him and Wang Li to guard the two important cities of Jiuyuan and Yunzhong to prevent the Xiongnu from marching southward.
Fusu felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, but he didn't understand why he only focused on the two important cities of Jiuyuan and Yunzhong and ignored the two counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong.
You know, there are also many Daqin people in Liaoxi and Liaodong counties. Do you want to watch them being trampled by the Xiongnu?
If they were still the subjects of the Yan State, it would be fine if I, the Great Qin State, did not save them. But now there is no Yan State, only the Great Qin. The people of the Yan State are also the subjects of the Great Qin State, so how can we ignore them?
Although Fusu's current identity is not the eldest son Fusu, but the general Zheng Qin, Fusu is still the eldest son who cares about the country and the people.
He wanted to take the initiative to contact Zhao Hao and ask him what he thought, but he was afraid of ruining Zhao Hao's plan.
Now, he climbed to the top of Yunzhong City, looked north at the distant mountains, saw the huge black shadow lying across the edge of the desert, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Meng Gong guarded the border for many years and expelled the Xiongnu from Mobei twice. I thought that the Xiongnu would be defeated, but I didn't expect that after a few years, they would come back again, which is really disappointing!"
Hearing this, Li Yi, who had been waiting by Fusu's side, picked up the wine bottle, took a sip of wine, and exhaled, the air was suddenly filled with the faint aroma of wine: "This is destiny, how can anyone do it? Take His Majesty as an example, over the years, Your Majesty has done many things that ordinary people cannot imagine, but what are the results?"
His relationship with Fusu has long gone beyond the friendship of colleagues. They have experienced a lot together, which makes them cherish each other and have no secrets from each other.
On the day Fusu faked his death, Li Yi also faked his death.
"Despite the fact, you and I still have to guard this country!"
Fusu nodded: "Fortunately, there are not many Huns who broke through the Liaoxi Pass. There are also tens of thousands of troops in Yuyang County. They want to march straight in and threaten Xianyang, but they can't do it yet."
Li Yi comforted with a smile: "Qin Wanghao will not let those Huns soldiers go!"
Hearing this, Fusu said no more and turned his gaze to the distance again.
When the place where the Great Wall connected with the sky was lightly exposed with a black shadow, his brows finally opened. Wang Li and the others were back.
Fusu subconsciously put on the bronze mask and said to the sima on the left and right: "Open the door and prepare to welcome the general!"
As soon as he arrived at the city, Wang Li staggered off his horse and shouted in a deep voice: "Light the beacons quickly and defend the entire front!"
Fu Su rushed across the suspension bridge, helped Wang Li up, and asked: "What happened? Why was the general injured?"
As he said that, he shouted behind him: "Military doctor! Send the military doctor quickly!"
"Chang" Wang Li raised his head and glanced at Fusu. He almost called him by mistake, but he quickly realized and said urgently: "General Zheng, send the order first and light the beacon fire. I will be fine!"
After saying that, he bared his teeth and sucked in a cold breath.
Fusu saw that the blood on his thigh and shoulder blade had solidified, and he knew that he had been hit by a Xiongnu soldier's arrow.
"Fortunately! These are just arrows used for normal hunting. Otherwise, I might not be able to see the general."
After saying that, he turned to look at Li Yi, who immediately went to deliver the order.
After watching Li Yi leave, Wang Li relaxed slightly, and while letting the military medical officer bandage the wound, he told his story with a grin on his face.
It turned out that the Huns had recently been unable to attack Jiuyuan, so they left the vicinity of the Jiuyuan Great Wall.
Wang Li expected that they would fight against the Great Wall in the Clouds, so he took advantage of the darkness and planned to have a 'praying mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind'. As a result, he was ambushed by the Huns.
Fortunately, Wang Li only brought a few hundred cavalry and did not mobilize a large army, otherwise the Jiuyuan Great Wall would be in danger.
However, for safety reasons, he was still prepared to light a beacon to alert the entire Great Wall to prevent the Huns from breaking through.
But Fusu frowned and asked: "How many Xiongnu people set up an ambush?"
"It was a hazy night, so I guess there were dozens of people, right?"
"Dozens of people ambush hundreds of people?"
"yes!"
"What kind of beacon fire is that? That's not a soldier at all!"
"Not a soldier?" Wang Li looked confused, feeling something was wrong.
Without saying a word, Fusu got on his horse and said to the soldiers behind him: "Get on your horse! Chase!"
When Wang Li reacted, he saw a puff of smoke billowing in the distance on the Loess Avenue (End of Chapter)
