In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and Xu Fu's return can no longer be seen in the calm Yellow Sea. The First Emperor would go to Langyatai to stop and watch every day. Unfortunately, what awaits him is always disappointment and endless waiting, perhaps annoyance.

, perhaps out of reluctance, within half a month, the Emperor's physical condition plummeted, and finally, in the past few days, the Emperor fell ill.

On the bed, the First Emperor closed his eyes slightly and breathed unevenly. Occasionally, if there was phlegm stuck in his throat, the First Emperor would feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. Because of this, the First Emperor's body gradually became weak these days.

During this eastward tour, the First Emperor left his right prime minister Feng Quji to sit and guard Xianyang, and took his second son Hu Hai out for the tour. This was also to give his son Hu Hai a chance to see the world, so that he would no longer be obsessed with beauties and be able to support the Qin State.

Halfway across the country, Zhao Gao said softly: "Your Majesty, Master Hu Hai has come to see you."

The First Emperor slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Zhao Gao aside and asked, "Who is coming?"

The First Emperor's thinking was much slower than before, which was a sign of old age and frailty. Zhao Gao sighed lightly, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He couldn't help but remind him again: "Master Hu Hai, I'm here to see you."

The First Emperor nodded slightly, and Zhao Gao shouted to the door: "Your Majesty has a decree, and Hu Hai is here to see you."

Hu Hai walked in slowly with a bowl of medicine. This was Zhao Gao's suggestion. Let Hu Hai get closer to the First Emperor. Regardless of whether he recovers this time, the First Emperor must admit him. Only when the First Emperor admits himself can he have any hope of seizing the throne.

It would be even greater. At this time, Hu Hai had arrived in front of the First Emperor, holding the medicine bowl in both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Father, take care of the dragon body, take the medicine first."

The First Emperor nodded with satisfaction and looked at Hu Hai. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Maybe he was really getting old. He began to feel that his physical strength was gradually failing. For some reason, the First Emperor felt that he was particularly nostalgic for Guanzhong at this time and wanted to return to Guanzhong.

There, is this the fallen leaves returning to their roots?

The First Emperor vaguely felt that death was slowly approaching him. Hegemony in the world and immortality were getting farther and farther away from him, like floating clouds, drifting uncertainly. The First Emperor began to understand in his heart what family affection is and what caring is.

, these years, I have had too little communication and interaction with my children...

Wandering around the world, the First Emperor's thoughts were getting further and further. Before his eyes, the figure of his mother appeared. Although she had made a huge mistake, she was his biological mother after all, and his mother. And that

Are the rumors about his father, Lu Buwei, who assisted his wealthy and powerful Qin State, and his mother, true or false? If true, the First Emperor began to feel that he once seemed to have given up on the most precious family relationship in the world.

Just when the First Emperor was thinking wildly, Hu Hai said softly from the side: "Father, let's go back to Xianyang and recuperate there. Father's health will definitely get better."

Xianyang, this place, the First Emperor felt that he suddenly longed to go back. Looking at his son's expectant eyes, the First Emperor nodded with difficulty. Hu Hai handed the medicine bowl to the maid aside, and the maid began to feed the First Emperor the medicine.

, Hu Hai turned around and ordered Zhao Gao: "Send the order and drive back to Beijing."

...

The team marched towards Xianyang in a mighty manner, kicking up dust all over the sky and flying in the air. You can imagine how urgent it was for them to return to Xianyang this time. People along the way tried to get out of the way. Some who couldn't get out of the way were knocked down by horses and died under the messy horse hooves.

under.

The sound of crying and howling continued in the wild. At this time, the Emperor's chariot had already reached the plain area, and the Emperor's condition inside the chariot was getting worse day by day. At this time, he could no longer stand up at all.

Several serving maids had sad faces. If the First Emperor died, they would be buried with him, and their young lives would disappear with the First Emperor. Zhao Gao, who was beside him, was also worried at this time. If the First Emperor died on the road, I am afraid that Xianyang

If there is turmoil, Master Fusu will take the opportunity to go south. He still has one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in his hands. If he raises his arms and calls out, I'm afraid everyone in the Guanzhong area will respond.

He also has General Meng Tian under his command. If Meng Tian personally leads the army, will Hu Hai be their opponent?

The First Emperor, who was lying on the sick bed, was also uneasy. He felt that his life had been burned out, just like an oil lamp, and the oil was about to dry up. Perhaps, the old man's words were true, and God's will was inevitable. The First Emperor had tried several times.

He sat up, he refused to accept old age, he didn't want to die, but he really didn't have the strength to sit up. Even if someone helped him stand up, he couldn't support his huge body alone.

At this time, the jolting of the carriage made the First Emperor feel dizzy. His eyes gradually fell on the jade seal handed down from the country. Where did that strange old man come from? If he wanted to find this jade seal in the vast Qiantang River, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Imagine how he got it.

And this jade seal will be a treasure passed down from generation to generation of the Qin State. He felt a little regretful at this time. If he died, how would he pass the throne to Fusu? He knew Hu Hai's character very well, and with his current qualifications, he still

Unable to carry the Qin State, the Qin State's foundation for thousands of generations can only be laid by Fusu, and he has no chance.

Thinking of this, the First Emperor began to blame himself. Why did he transfer Su Bei to supervise the army in Mobei? Now that his time is approaching, it is difficult to transfer him back. They are thousands of miles apart and cannot be reached overnight.

But while he was still conscious, the First Emperor believed that he must make a will as soon as possible.

The First Emperor panted. He wanted to get up again, but his weak body still prevented the First Emperor from moving. He had to reluctantly stretch out his right hand and pointed at the parchment not far away. His eyes were aimed at Zhao Gao, who hurriedly bowed and walked over.

, asked: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

The First Emperor opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to tell Zhao Gao to convey the order and immediately transfer him back to Fusu, but a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat. The First Emperor opened his mouth for a long time, but did not say a word. Instead, he blushed and had a thick neck from holding it in.

, at this time, Zhao Gao noticed something strange, and he hurriedly beat the First Emperor's back, and a mouthful of sticky phlegm was coughed out, but what followed was a few mouthfuls of black blood, and the First Emperor screamed and fainted.

"Quickly call the imperial physician!" Inside the carriage, anxious shouts and busy footsteps could be heard.

At night, nearly 300,000 Qin troops set up camp in the plain. Teams of scouts rushed out of the camp and patrolled the surrounding areas. Each team consisted of 100 people. Under the leadership of the chief, they guarded every corner of the stronghold.

At that time, in the Chinese army tent, the First Emperor was still in a coma, and several old imperial doctors were anxiously wandering around. They had already given acupuncture and medicine, but the First Emperor had not yet woken up.

In an inconspicuous corner, Zhao Gao secretly gave some instructions to several chamberlains, and the chamberlains hurried back to the First Emperor's tent. Zhao Gao then left quickly and headed for Hu Hai's camp.

In the camp, there was singing and dancing, several musicians and singers were singing, and two delicate girls were nestled in Hu Hai's arms. Soon, Zhao Gao walked in quickly, and he had a panoramic view of the scene in front of him.

He couldn't help coughing dryly. Hu Hai looked slightly displeased, but at this time, he did not dare to offend Zhao Gao, so he had to send everyone away.

There was a brief silence in the big tent. Zhao Gao looked at Hu Hai in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. The First Emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and he might die on the road at any time, but Hu Hai actually still had the mind to tease the beautiful woman in the tent. Listen to

Sing, drink, and play with women.

But Zhao Gao couldn't say this openly. He had to suppress the anger in his heart, sighed softly, sat down opposite Hu Hai, and said softly: "Your Majesty's illness is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid it's just in the past few days.

Yes, we must plan a way out as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be too late if we change."

When Hu Hai heard this, he felt a little anxious. He looked at Zhao Gao and said urgently: "Please teach me, teacher."

Zhao Gao nodded, pointed in the direction of Luanzhang and said: "We currently have two major crises. First, once His Majesty appoints Fu Su as the crown prince, everything we have carefully arranged over the years will be destroyed. Second,

If His Majesty dies in the middle of the road, Xianyang will also be in turmoil. If Fusu raises an army south and takes control of Xianyang, the young master will have a big event, and I am afraid Fusu will not tolerate the young master."

Zhao Gao's words made Hu Hai slightly surprised. So, he had no chance anymore? Looking at Zhao Gao's slightly narrowed eyes, Hu Hai saw that it seemed that Gao Gao had a conspiracy a long time ago. What he just said should be to scare him first, and then

When he mentioned the plan again, thinking of this, Hu Hai had no choice but to put down his arrogance as a young master, stood up, bowed in front of Zhao Gao, and said respectfully: "Teacher, please give me a bow."

"Master, why is this!" Zhao Gao pretended to be surprised and quickly stood up to help Hu Hai. The two sat down again. At this time, Zhao Gao said softly: "Looking at the current situation, we must set off overnight and rush back to Xianyang. As long as we return

Xianyang, we will be safe."

"But what if elder brother Fusu gets the news and raises troops?" Hu Hai was still a little worried, but Zhao Gao laughed and said: "Don't worry, your highness, I have made arrangements secretly. The news that your majesty is seriously ill will not happen."

The news should be spread, but the time should not be too long, otherwise, once the news is spread, it will be difficult for us to control the situation."

Hu Hai nodded. At this time, Zhao Gao stood up and walked around in the tent again. After a brief reflection, Zhao Gao said again: "Only by working together on both sides can we have greater hope. At the moment, Zhang Han has 200,000 troops in his hands.

He is already one of ours, but Li Si is cunning, and I cannot guarantee that he will turn against the young master. We must win over this person to be safe."

At this time, Hu Hai's eyes revealed murderous intent, and he said coldly: "If he refuses to submit to me, I will kill him and avoid future troubles forever!"

Zhao Gao waved his hand and said: "Your Highness must not be reckless. With Li Si in charge, we can firmly control the situation. At that time, even if His Majesty really passes the throne to Fusu, we don't have to worry. After all, how to write the imperial edict, whether to issue it or not

Everything is under our control."

Hu Hai was overjoyed after hearing this and couldn't help asking: "Does the teacher have any clues?"

Zhao Gao nodded and smiled: "I will find a way to win over Li Si. Your Highness doesn't have to worry."
