As soon as the two masters of Shui Xinyue and Huo Lieyang withdrew, the other Tsing Yi people were naturally not opponents, and as a result, only more than ten people jumped into the hole to escape, and the rest were almost all killed, and another six or seven people were captured alive.

At this time, Hehua landed from the sky, came to Qin Wangzheng's side, and cried with the corpse. The officials of the Qin State all gathered around Long, and they all gathered around the corpse of Qin Wangzheng, and they all cried one by one, including many soldiers. There was already a cry in the entire hall, and only Gao Yuan, Zhao Xuan and the others retreated to the side to watch.

At this time, Zhao Xuan said: "Plateau, Qin Wangzheng is dead, so what should we do?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I don't know either." ”

Zhao Xuan said again: "Then what about Handan, yesterday we have sent someone out of the city to send a letter to Yinghong, this time we should send someone out of the city to inform them to enter the city and receive Handan, now that something like this has happened, can we still enter the city to receive Handan?" Do you want to send someone out of the city to tell Sù Yinghong what happened, so as not to make them anxious? ”

Gao Yuan's heart sank, and he realized that because of Qin Wangzheng's death, the impact on him was too great, which made his feelings a little unprepared, and he even forgot about such an important matter. Therefore, Gao Yuan thought for a while before saying: "What happened in the city, don't tell them for the time being, just wait a while." After a pause, Gao Yuan said again: "You go out of the palace first, gather other people, and get ready, maybe there will be chaos in Handan City for a while, just in case of accidents, and when necessary, receive our army into the city." ”

Although the plateau's control of the situation is a little out of control now, but at this time, the importance of Handan is more prominent, if the Han can get Handan, it will have an extra layer of security in the future battle, so at this time, the plateau will be stationed in Handan no matter what, and the plateau and Qin Wangzheng have also negotiated the conditions of the alliance, if the officials of the Qin state deny this alliance, then the plateau intends to forcibly occupy Handan.

At this time, in the center of the main hall, Hehua was still crying bitterly, but Li Si put away his sorrow, came to Hehua's side, and said: "Princess, the king has passed away, please don't grieve, now everyone has to invite the princess to preside over the overall situation." ”

After He Hua listened, he stopped his sorrow, wiped his tears, and turned his head to look, only to see Li Si, Wei Yi, Meng Wu, Weak Dun, Feng Ji, Feng Quji, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Xin Sheng and other civil and military officials of the Qin State standing beside him, all of them burst into tears, and some of them were still injured, but they all looked at themselves with expectant expressions.

It turned out that as soon as Qin Wangzheng died, the ministers also lost their backbone, and this time Qin Wangzheng came out, and did not bring other princes and sons with him, among the ministers, Li Si was the leader, but this sudden thing also greatly exceeded Li Si's ability to bear, and he had no intention of dominating the endgame, and just now Hehua once again showed her strong strength, which had a great shock in the minds of the officials and soldiers of Qin, so Li Si and the officials of Qin also involuntarily handed over the leading power to Hehua.

However, Hehua is not an ordinary daughter in the end, although she is grief-stricken at this time, she can also distinguish the priorities of the matter, so she also stood up and said: "Lord Li, my father was unfortunately plotted by the Jiuli clan, but I am only a princess, and you are all important ministers of the Qin State, why do you want me to be a woman to preside over the overall situation." ”

Li Si took a step forward, gave a salute, and said: "The princess doesn't have to apologize, the name of the princess is known all over the world, and she has won the hearts of the Qin people, now Xianyang has been lost, and the king is dead, and the great Qin is in danger, we are not able to help the poor, only the princess has the ability to turn the tide, so please princess do not shirk." ”

He Hua was silent for a while before he nodded and said, "Okay, if everyone pushes me to preside over the overall situation, then can everyone obey the orders I issue?" ”

Li Si hurriedly said: "That's nature, we should take the princess as the horse." The other ministers also said in unison: "We should take the princess as the horse." ”

He Hua said: "Okay, since everyone has said so, then I will temporarily replace my father and preside over the overall situation, but I am just a princess, and I should not be in charge of power, but now the situation is critical, and I am in a hurry to follow the power, so after recovering Xianyang in the future, I will set up Fusu as the new king of Qin." ”

The officials said in unison: "It's all according to the princess's words." ”

He Hua said: "My father unfortunately died, so I should let my father enter the earth first, but now Xianyang has been lost, we are all in Handan, naturally we can't put my father into the ground, but we should also prepare a coffin first, bury my father into a coffin, and wait for us to recover Xianyang, and then bury my father, what do you think?" ”

Naturally, no one would object to this, and Li Si immediately said: "What the princess said is extremely true. ”

He Hua said: "Meng Tian, Meng Yi." ”

Meng Tian and Meng Yi listened, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The minister is here." ”

He Hua said: "The two of you immediately go to prepare the coffin and bury your father." ”

The two agreed, and immediately turned around and went out of the palace. Collecting Qin Wangzheng's body is of course an important matter, but leaving the palace at this time to prepare a coffin for Qin Wangzheng is undoubtedly leaving the current core of power, but Meng Tian and Meng Yi are still the younger generation after all, and there are also Meng Wu present, so their brothers are naturally the most suitable candidates to accept this task.

After Meng Tian and Meng Yi left, He Hua said: "As you all know, my father has formed an alliance with the king of Han, and agreed on a covenant, but it has not yet been signed, although my father has died, but the covenant between my father and the king of Han is still valid, I will act according to the agreement, I don't know what you think?" ”

Li Si nodded and said, "The alliance with the Han State is a decision made by the Great King, and it is beneficial to the Qin State, so it should be done according to the agreement." ”

Hehua breathed a sigh of relief, because the alliance drawn up by Qin Wangzheng and Han was to cede a large amount of land to Han, although this was the most pragmatic method, but on the surface, of course, it was very unfavorable to Qin. However, Qin Wangzheng has always been strong, so the decision he made, other ministers naturally did not dare to disagree, but it did not mean that everyone supported this decision, and now that Qin Wangzheng is dead, Hehua replaces Qin Wangzheng to preside over the overall situation, it is inevitable that some people will jump out to oppose it, after all, Qin Wangzheng and Gao Yuan have not signed the covenant.

Although all the ministers just now spoke in unison and unanimously said that they would obey Hehua's orders, Hehua is a modern person after all, and of course he knows that this kind of words cannot be taken too seriously, so he used the name of Qin Wangzheng to ensure that the alliance with the Han State is effective, after all, in the traditional concept of the Chinese, the ancestors are great, the dead are great, and the decrees formulated by the previous monarchs in a country are generally not lightly changed.

When Qin Xiaogong enabled the Shang Dynasty to change the law, the biggest resistance he faced was to change the decree of the ancestors, which was also the biggest reason for the Qin nobles to oppose the new law, although the new law was still implemented in the Qin State, but after the death of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Yang still became a victim of the new law. The Qin State finally adhered to the new law formulated by Shang Ying, but most of the legal reforms carried out in other countries were difficult to last, and the traditional concept of "the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished" was also an important reason. Hehua promoted the covenant drawn up by the Qin Dynasty and the plateau, and also sacrificed a big killing weapon that "the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished".

Seeing that the other officials had no objections, He Hua immediately ordered people to find two covenants in the rocks, and at the same time ordered people to invite Gao Yuan to come over.

In fact, just now the officials of the Qin State elected Hehua to preside over the overall situation, and Gao Yuan saw it very clearly on the side, because this was the internal affairs of the Qin State, so it was not easy for Gao Yuan to interfere, so he could only watch from the side. And seeing that Hehua finally held on to power, and explained that the officials continued to implement the covenant they had drawn up with Qin Wangzheng, Gao Yuan was also relieved, after all, he didn't want to make trouble at this time.

Now Hehua sent someone to invite Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan came to Hehua, and at this time someone had already found the two covenants from the pile of rubble. And Hehua gave a salute to Gao Yuan and said: "King Han, although my father has died, the covenant between my father and King Han is still valid, and your lords have elected me to temporarily act as my father to preside over the overall situation, and I will replace my father and sign a contract with King Han." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "I have drawn up an alliance with the King of Qin, Han and Qin have formed a brotherly state, and now that there is an accident in the Qin State, my Han State will naturally not sit idly by, and will do my best to help the Qin State recover, and after defeating Han Teng and Qi Chu in the future, and recovering Xianyang, I will definitely help the Prince of Su to succeed the King of Qin, so that the clan of the Qin State can continue." ”

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, the officials of Qin State were also relieved a lot, in fact, the covenant drawn up by Qin Wangzheng did make some ministers feel dissatisfied, thinking that the concessions made by Qin State were too big, but Qin Wangzheng made a decision, and others naturally did not dare to oppose lightly. And now although Qin Wangzheng is dead, but the situation is going to deteriorate further, at this time, the plateau has not increased upward, it is already a good result, because Qin has no capital to bargain with the plateau, these ministers are all pragmatic people, of course, they will not understand the truth, and Li Si has always been the head of the hundred officials, he came forward and promised to continue to implement the covenant, and others naturally have nothing to say.

He Hua immediately ordered that two covenants be brought over, and the covenant was formally signed with Gao Yuan, and the two of them each held one for each.

After signing the contract, He Huacai said: "My father has decided in the covenant to hand over Handan to the Han State, so I ask the King of Han to give an order to the Han army outside the city to let the Han army enter the city and take over Handan, but the city of Handan has just changed, and the military spirit is afraid that it will be unstable. ”

Gao Yuan said: "In this extraordinary period, it should be like this, I will first arrange only 10,000 troops to enter the city and take over the defense of the east and north city gates, but this will also require the Qin army to cooperate with the handover." ”

He Hua said: "General Mengda." ”

Meng Wu came out and said, "The minister is here." ”

He Hua said: "The affairs of transferring the city defense with the Han army are up to you." ”

Meng Wu hurriedly said: "The order of the princess." ”

He Hua nodded and said, "That's all for today, everyone go back and rest first." ”
