Chapter 1998 Cang Long Qisu (39)(2/2)
Today, when the patrol team arrives at Pingyuanjin, Jibei County - a Yellow River ferry near Pingyuan County, Jibei County, and also close to Gaotang, one of the five capitals of Qi in the past - Yingzheng's illness has further worsened, and the team even suffered from it.
Had to stop for now.
As a result, the news began to further spread to the entire convoy, and then began to spread throughout the world at the speed of a storm.
For the people, this is good news, but it is also bad news.
Of course they were happy to see Ying Zheng die of serious illness, but they cannot be expected to be truly grateful to the emperor.
Even if you like SM, you don’t have this kind of gameplay.
But for the people, changing an emperor does not mean a good thing.
Just because Ying Zheng is tyrannical and unethical does not mean that the new ruler will be stronger than Ying Zheng - most ordinary people know how low the ruler's lower limit can be.
Among Ying Zheng's sons, only Fusu has a good reputation among the people. However, because he was sent to the north, there is basically a consensus among the people that Fusu cannot inherit the throne.
Besides Fusu, are there any other reliable princes?
No... at least not in the eyes of the common people, so they are generally pessimistic about the replacement of the throne.
But for the anti-Qin forces, this is pure good news.
It was the entire empire that persecuted the people, and Ying Zheng was only a part of the empire...even though it was the core part.
They were unable to resist Ying Zheng, let alone the empire. There was no point in changing the emperor.
But the anti-Qin forces are different. They are not afraid of the empire, they are afraid of Ying Zheng!
If the winning political system is going to die, they can almost pop the champagne.
Therefore, the news spread so quickly, but the common people did not provide much help. It was purely a reaction of various anti-Qin forces.
Once this news spreads, on the one hand, it will make it easier for them to further corrupt and win over local government officials. On the other hand, it can also stimulate "their own people" to see if there are any warriors willing to add fuel to the fire of Ying Zheng.
After all, he was only seriously ill, not to the point of death, and there was still a risk of recovery. Considering the two great doctors Gu Xun and Nianduan, the anti-Qin forces were quite worried about this.
If someone is willing to add fuel to the fire at this time, add trouble to Ying Zheng and try to anger him to the point where his condition worsens, or simply take the opportunity to assassinate him, they might be able to do it in one step!
It should be said that the forces with such ideas are not limited to anti-Qin forces. As long as they are not affiliated with the empire... and even some forces that are affiliated with the empire, almost all are happy to see Ying Zheng die.
Even within the imperial court, there were people with dissident intentions.
A strong emperor is an oppression to everyone.
For ordinary people, what Ying Zheng oppressed was their living space.
For others, what Ying Zheng oppresses is their power space.
Everyone doesn't want to gain more power, even if they are dogs, they also want to eat better.
However, Ying Zheng not only had the idea of oppressing them, but also had the ability to oppress them.
If there is a new emperor, maybe these two conditions will change.
…………
Of course, not everyone is looking forward to Ying Zheng's death. There are still some people who hope that Ying Zheng can turn danger into a blessing and live a long life... although it may not be because of loyalty.
For example, Li Si, the prime minister of the empire, and Fusu, the son of Ying Zheng.
In the eldest son's mansion in Shangjun County Zhifushi City.
Fusu paced back and forth in the reception room, with a somewhat gloomy expression on his face. His hands were clasped behind his back but his fingers were trembling. He was obviously uneasy.
A moment later, a dark figure walked into the reception room.
"Your Highness." As soon as Mo Ya entered the door, he bowed to Fu Su first.
Seeing Mo Ya's arrival, Fusu immediately stopped and raised his hand, "No need to be polite, let's talk about the situation at the convoy first."
"How is my father now?"
"Uh..." Mo Ya paused for a moment and then replied, "According to the latest intelligence, the patrol team has set off again and is heading to Julu County according to the established plan."
"The patrol hasn't been suspended yet!?" Fusu frowned and asked in disbelief.
"It is said..." Mo Ya lowered his head and replied in a light voice, "Before the convoy set off again, His Majesty the Emperor personally showed up to debunk the rumors circulating that 'the Emperor is seriously ill'."
Since Ying Zheng was seriously ill, it was natural that he should immediately stop his tour and return to Xianyang for treatment and recuperation.
But if Ying Zheng himself is unwilling or even refuses to admit that he is sick, then there is nothing anyone can do.
"Father... what on earth is he thinking..." Fusu closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed with a painful expression.
At this point, no one with a clear mind would believe that Ying Zheng is not sick.
It was in vain for him to drag the sick body out to cover up the rumors - as long as Ying Zheng was still in his right mind, he should not have done this!
Seeing this, Mo Ya added, "It is said that His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order that no one in the convoy is allowed to mention the word 'illness' or 'death'."
"Huh..." Fusu sighed, opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I can never... sit idly by and ignore this matter."
"Since my father is unwilling to return to Xianyang immediately, then please ask Master Nianduan to go there in person!"
"Mr. Mo Crow..."
Mo Ya very presumptuously interrupted Fusu and said, "Back to Your Highness, in fact, I have already arranged for someone to contact Master Nianduan and ask her to take action."
"but……"
