"Since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded the heavens and established the imperial area, and will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, and the Mianzong Society will have no borders. I swept Liuhe, one day down, abolished feudalism, established counties and counties, governed customs, Kyushu Chengfeng, all obeyed the track, and An Dunmian, and then respected the law, Chang Zhi Wuji, and the boat did not tilt. However, he also worked hard all night, thinking of the mountains and rivers of Qin, and the 26th temple entrusted to him. ”

"Hu Hai, the eighteenth son of me, has been studying the law for several years, and he has never seen a loss. Benevolence and kindness, light wealth and heavy soldiers, arguments in the heart and mouth, through the law and respectful of scholars, the sons of Qin have not been like this, can be heirs. On the seventh day of the second month of the 37th year, Hu Hai was awarded the treasure of the book and established as the crown prince, in order to replace the army, to emphasize the unity of eternity, and to tie the heart of the four seas. ”

After the edict of Zuo Prime Minister Li Si was read, and Qin Shi Huang dragged his weak body and strengthened himself to complete the ceremony of "registering the prince" for Hu Hai, Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's ...... decided"

As Hu Hai's teacher, Zhao Gao is undoubtedly the biggest winner among the ministers, and he secretly rejoices.

Li Si also quietly wiped his cold sweat, and the stubborn Emperor finally realized that he was about to die, and finally established the crown prince, and the Qin Dynasty finally let go of the heart of the ministers who had been hanging for more than ten years.

In fact, Li Si knew very well that after fleeing from Fusu and the prince was afraid of rejecting the emperor's intentions, the heir of Qin Shi Huang who might pass on the throne was only Hu Hai, a suitable candidate - after establishing a long and virtuous person, the monarch would often inevitably prefer to establish love, and often lied to himself that "the beloved son is also the most virtuous and the most like me."

But Qin Shi Huang only let Hu Hai go out on patrol with him, but did not directly make him his heir, except that the emperor was still lucky and hoped to change his fate. It is also to open up time, so that the influence of Fusu's departure will gradually disappear, and don't make it look like the emperor forced the eldest son to flee in order to abolish the eldest and young......

Moreover, from Qin Shi Huang's summons yesterday, Li Si also found out about the emperor's worries.

The old emperor will collapse, and it is inevitable that the new emperor will succeed to the throne, but Qin Shi Huang pities his loneliness and weakness, and he is afraid that he will not be able to win the disputes of ministers, so that there is a phenomenon of "rape and robbery and murder of ministers" warned by Han Feizi, and the new lord is overthrown by a strong minister! Lost authority!

Although Hu Hai is proficient in laws and regulations, familiar with Han Fei's learning, and is not merciful to the Holy Mother, and even has a trace of ruthlessness, he is too young, only 21 years old, can his methods really control the Manchu Dynasty?

For example...... Left Prime Minister Li Si.

So yesterday, Qin Shi Huang deliberately mentioned Gongzi Jianglu to test Li Si's attitude.

As the third son of Qin Shi Huang, Gongzi Jiang Lu and his younger brothers, three brothers of one mother, although not favored, but each other, more noteworthy, Jiang Lu's two younger brothers, both married Li Si's daughter as wives......

Li Si was immediately shocked and expressed his attitude: "Your Majesty, the ministers are also clothed in Cai Luxiang, thanks to Your Majesty for promoting me to be the prime minister, and I am named the Marquis, all the men are still princesses of Qin, and the women are married to the sons of Qin, and the children and grandchildren are all supreme and heavy." The husband and the loyal minister do not avoid death and have a few concubines, the filial son is not diligent and sees danger, and the people and ministers just keep their duties. Not to mention that His Majesty still has a long life to live, even if he wants to establish an heir, everything should be up to His Majesty, and he should not ask his subordinates. ”

He bowed again and said: "No matter which prince Your Majesty takes as the crown prince, as long as the old minister has not been buried for a day, he will be loyal to him!" Otherwise, the minister is willing to die and be buried to repay His Majesty's kindness! ”

The implication is that he Li Siwei obeys the orders of the emperor, and he will not do anything crooked after His Majesty goes......

Zhao Gao had secretly promised before: no matter who succeeds to the throne, Li Si can return to the position of right prime minister! Li Si is cautious and will not take risks.

Qin Shi Huang sighed at the time: "I know the loyalty of the prime minister, but I have heard that cattle and horses fight, and gnats and flies die under them; The ministers fight, and the people suffer. Once it appears, it will be a sign of chaos, and the prime minister can do this, I am very relieved! ”

So Qin Shi Huang no longer mentioned the rest of the princes, and insisted on canonizing Hu Hai as the crown prince, and after the canonization ceremony, Qin Shi Huang made another appointment that shocked the court:

"Make the Marquis of Tongwu Wang Ben a lieutenant!"

……

If the crown prince made the ministers breathe a sigh of relief, the subsequent appointment stunned everyone.

Because after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, although the prime minister, the imperial historian, and the taiwei were set up as the three dukes, respectively, to assist the government, supervise and manage the army and lead the troops, but from beginning to end, Qin Shi Huang did not appoint anyone as a taili, and has always created vacancies, and firmly controlled the military power in his own hands.

Although the lieutenant made a strategy for Qin Shi Huang to dominate the world, he was always only a national lieutenant.

The merit is great, and Wang Qian, the first hero of unification, has never received this position.

Why did Wang Ben, who had been ill for a long time, suddenly appoint him as a lieutenant?

This means that the Wang family, which has been suppressed for a long time, will rise again?

Everyone thought of a relationship: "Hu Hai, married a woman from the Wang family......"

The court pattern set by Qin Shi Huang for Hu Hai has gradually become clear: the joint auxiliary government of the three meritorious families of Li, Feng, and Wang can deal with the complicated situation of the government and the opposition after the Fusu and Heifu cases, as well as the possible "group of thieves" in the hometown of the Six Kingdoms.

But the current situation is that the Feng family is a little powerful - Feng Quji is the right prime minister, Feng Wu is in charge of tens of thousands of troops, Feng Zheng is in the Northern Army, and Feng Jing is also a captain.

Although the Feng family has always been honest and simple, loyal to the surname Ying, they must not be guarded against. Qin Shi Huang summoned Li Si, entrusted him with the danger, and let Wang Ben sit on the position of captain, hoping that Wang Ben, who had swept the world, would sit in charge and help Hu Hai stabilize the situation and make the world tremble. Whether it is the minister or the six countries, or even the black man who doesn't know life and death, he doesn't dare to make a mistake!

After doing all this, at noon, Qin Shi Huang fell into a coma again, and the imperial physician Xia Wuhe shook his head and came out and told Hu Hai, Li Si, Zhao Gao and others that His Majesty the Emperor was on the verge of dying......

Hu Hai cried and looked at his father, but saw that Qin Shi Huang, who was tall and mighty in the past, was so weak that he couldn't sit up, so he could only hold his hand by Hu Hai, fragmented but messy, and explain some future events......

"Li, Feng, and Wang Fuzheng can maintain the stability of the government and the opposition, but you can also re-promote Meng Tian and Meng Yi to compete with them, and then rely on Zhao Gao, Zhao Cheng and others around you to be the monarch, and you can't do without your own ministers."

"I have cleared everything that can be cleared, conquered all the countries that can be conquered, and my descendants can sit and enjoy the territory, and the horses will be released in the South Mountain, and the soldiers will not need to ...... But it must not be divided, and the princes will be difficult again, so that the cause of unification will be ruined! ”

"The south and north are the most worrying, the Xiongnu must be defended, and the northern army cannot be weakened, so that the Hu people have a chance. As for the south, after Li You took over the military power of the battalions in Jiangnan and Lingnan, he should slowly replace his lieutenants to avoid the resurgence of the underworld. ”

"I have never given up halfway, especially the Queen Mother of the West, and this heart will not change until death! Li Xin in the west does not have to be recalled, but how far he can go and what he can do depends on himself......"

"The ministers have all said that the rent of Great Qin is too heavy, and after you succeed to the throne, when you appropriately reduce taxes and stop the palace, so that the leaders of the Qianqian feel that the burden is lighter, they will support you. Then appropriately absorb some people from the Six Kingdoms into Xianyang, and re-establish the Doctor Officer, so that the hatred of the people of the Six Nations will be gathered in my body. ”

After that, Qin Shi Huang suddenly sobered up a little more, and slapped Hu Hai, who was crying a lot: "Don't cry!" The Tao is invisible, used in the unknowable, don't show your joys, sorrows and sorrows in front of others! ”

But then he immediately changed his face, touched his little son's face, and sighed sadly and pitifully:

"Hu Hai, do I love you by doing this? Or does it hurt you? ”

Subsequently, Qin Shi Huang did not reply, but said weakly:

"Get out...... I don't want to be embarrassed at the end of my life, and I will be seen! ”

……

The moldy carpet beneath his feet was once gorgeous, and the gold trim on the fabric was faintly visible, shimmering intermittently between dull gray and mottled green.

Qin Shi Huang walked through the prosperity and withering, the limit has come, and the things he saw when he was dying were mostly the past, and later generations called it "marquee".

It seems to be a spiraling tower, with stairs going up and down, and staring at them, one can't help but climb it.

But Qin Shi Huang, who has the true meaning of the way of climbing, stopped in front of a door, and it was difficult to move forward.

He recognized the door, as well as the pear tree in the courtyard, where Qin Shi Huang grew up.

Handan City, Zhao Ji's mother's family, as the daughter of a big family in Handan, this thick black lacquer gate can protect the mother and son who were abandoned in Handan from being torn to pieces by the angry Zhao people after the two wars of Changping and Handan......

Whenever those Zhao people came to make a mistake, to humiliate, and to hammer the door, the mother would hug her Zheng'er tightly, hiding in the back room and shivering.

Zheng'er's face was close to his mother's plump body, and he could smell the faint smell of Zhilan, there was no fear in his eyes, listening to the words that humiliated his mother and humiliated Qin Guo, but he was full of anger, clenched his fists, and vowed to make Handan and Zhao pay the price!

He did it, and thirty years later, Qin Wangzheng made the corpses of the enemies of Handan City all over the field, the royal family, light heroes, soldiers, and even the old people, women and children, and the pools of blood that were condensed in the streets and alleys were like flowers in midsummer.

But when he told his mother about it with great enthusiasm, she only slapped him hatefully.

"you!"

Covering his face, he retreated step by step, until he retreated to the edge of the tower, and in the blink of an eye, there were two more cloth bags in his hands, which were not light, and he was still struggling......

Of course, he knew why his mother hated him.

"Leave them ...... alone"

The mother's attitude changed, and she knelt down to her son, her face full of tears and her voice full of pleading.

"They are also your brothers......"

She looked at the eyes of the two evil seeds, as if she was looking at the little Zheng'er back then, licking the calf with deep affection.

Perhaps it was this that triggered the jealousy buried deep in his heart.

"I don't have a brother."

His face was cold, his hands were loosened, and the two cloth bags were thrown off the tower, accompanied by his mother's sharp wail, and fell into a bloody blur!

"No!"

The mother has changed, her beautiful hair has turned into withered silver threads, her plump and graceful body has gradually become rickety, and even her face is ugly!

The familiar smell of Zhilan also turned into the stench of rotten corpses.

"The blood of the royal family is cold, and what you have done must not be blasphemed!"

Not to forgive! Or ask for forgiveness!

Ignoring the mad woman, Qin Shi Huang fixed his gaze and continued to walk towards the heights.

The stairs have been extended upwards and extended, and after crossing the biggest hurdle in his life, Qin Shi Huang still passed through countless doors, but it can only make him stop, but he cannot let him stay for a long time.

He saw that the middle father was talking to himself when he first ascended the throne:

"Your Majesty, the world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of one person."

"Nope."

The young King of Qin raised his head and his eyes were sharp: "The world is the world of one person!" ”

He smiled and shook his head, pulling away from the feet that were still shaking after hanging himself.

"Your Majesty, there are a hundred battles in one day, and the power is ...... Power must not be shared! The way of the king is only in three words, law, magic, and potential! ”

At the next door, Han Fei, who was stuttering, was explaining the way of the master to himself, and the middle-aged Qin Wangzheng kept bowing his head, talking about Tianming with him, and asked several times......

But when he finished absorbing Han Fei's knowledge and found that his purpose was still to save Han, he turned his face and didn't recognize people.

"Mr. Han, you presented me with a sharp sword, the name of the blade, the sword grid is the technique, and the hilt is the power, but now, whether this sword is sharp or not, I want to ask Mr. Han to try it for me!"

Han Fei smiled miserably and committed suicide by drinking his sword, blood flowing all over the ground......

Stepping on his blood, Qin Shi Huang finally approached the top of this tower.

But as he passed by the last open door, the cry of a baby made the Emperor stop again......

Outside, the snow was falling, and the puffy baby was held in the arms of his father, who had not yet grown a thick beard under his chin, and named him with a smile:

"Fusu, you are called Fusu!"

The child grew up so quickly, but he was so cowardly and indecisive that it was a headache that he even ran away desperately after smashing the jade to pieces, hiding in the artemisia grass and sobbing in fear.

Qin Shi Huang looked at him with pity and disgust, hesitated for a long time, and wanted to reach out and hold him, but the child slipped away and left without looking back.

He chased, he searched, and before he knew it, he had reached the highest point, the staircase, and it had come to an end.

Drew his sword and looked around, but he didn't see anything, there was no one around, the whole land was white and vast, it was really clean......

Along the way, everyone left him, and it seemed that only betrayal and Qin Shi Huang followed him step by step......

The ghosts that deeply affected Qin Shi Huang in this life haunted his ears and gossip.

"In the end, Zheng'er, you are still squinting, it's really pitiful......" The smell of Zhilan wafted through the mother.

"One man's world? A single husband will be betrayed by the people of the world! The tongue stretched out so sarcastically that the elder Lu Buwei sneered.

"Without me, Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no one who understands you in this world, right?" Han Fei covered his bleeding neck and walked step by step, but he didn't stutter.

Qin Shi Huang was unmoved, only stood quietly at the top of this heaven and earth, and did not take the next step.

"Nope."

A thick voice interrupted Han Fei's words.

"I understand Your Majesty, I understand Your Majesty."

He knelt on one knee far away from Qin Shi Huang, his face was dark, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his voice was still so loud, and he was even more courageous, and asked Qin Shi Huang a big disrespectful question.

"Your Majesty, above the peak, what's there?"

Qin Shi Huang stretched out his hands, and at this moment, his clothes and robes were gone, and the red stripes came, and the stripes went red.

"You see it."

Qin Shi Huang spread his hands and said: "On the peak, there is nothing......"

He took a step, stepped onto the clouds, but stopped again as he crossed the bridge to the Yellow Spring.

"Really?"

Qin Shi Huang lowered his head and saw the human empire he had built, the magnificent territory he had laid, and the solid system he had laid his foundation.

It, it, and it will be passed on for eternity!

Turning around, Qin Shi Huang looked at the person who was bidding farewell to him, and a proud and stubborn smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Above the top, there is everything!"

……

With the sun setting, with the reluctance of the world and the worry about the future of the empire, Qin Shi Huang, who had been dying for a long time, finally exhaled his last breath......

"On the seventh day of the second month of the thirty-seventh year, Qin Shi Huang collapsed in Xiling County, Hengshan County!"
