At the beginning of August, Qin Shihuang's funeral ceremony was held, and the funeral procession, with 30 people, will be sent from Xianyang all the way to Lishan.

In the imperial city, all the officials headed by Li Si had already dressed in linen and sat under the main hall, and held a grand ceremony to sacrifice the emperor's death.The head of the Jiuqing is often the chief sacrificial person. After the sacrificial speech and ceremony, the emperor's coffin is sent down from the altar, and all the officials are sent out of Xianyang City along the way. See off with the funeral soldiers.The funeral gradually faded away, and finally disappeared in the eyes of all officials.

A generation of emperors through the ages eventually turned into a handful of loess.

When Baiguan turned around, he saw Zhao Gao holding three volumes of bamboo books and slowly walking up to the high platform of the court hall.

The ceremony has come to this stage, and the old emperor has been sent away. Now it is theoretically time to announce the succession of the new emperor.As a matter of carrying out the talisman seal, Zhao Gao did his part to promulgate the decree.All the ministers leaned over to receive the last emperor's will, but they couldn't help but wondered in their hearts—why didn't they hear the news that the eldest son helped Su to return to Xianyang?

The ones standing in front of the officials were of course the royal family. Zhao Gaogang stepped onto the high platform, his eyes swept down slightly, but his footsteps suddenly froze.

Where is the little boy Hu Hai?

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive, only to hear a hoarse deer cry suddenly came from the side hall, all the officials couldn't help but move their eyes, and the audience fell silent when they saw the person coming.

They only saw Hu Hai, the former emperor's young son, leading a smooth-haired deer and walking into the court hall with tears on his face. He seemed to have suddenly noticed that all the officials were looking at him, and he looked back at everyone in a daze. At a glance, she cried even more pitifully.

He was sobbing as if he couldn't help himself, his voice was a little hoarse, and he kept hiccupping as he spoke, "Father, uh, has the imperial father's coffin gone?"

...Great, this one didn't even catch up with Qin Shihuang's funeral, where did he go?Tai Chang, who has always been in charge of the state and the state system, was a little displeased, so he couldn't help but sarcastically said, "The young master is really filial, and he still misses His Majesty at this moment."

All the officials were silent, and speaking of which, they never had a good impression of this young master Hu Hai.Who is the young master Hu Hai? When they went to court, they took off their shoes and placed them at the door. This man dared to kick them all in disorder.Look at this moment, the former emperor who loved him the most passed away. Fortunately, he didn't go to the funeral in person, and now he even leads the deer to the court hall!

But this is a child of the royal family after all, even if they hold their breath in their hearts, they dare not say anything more. Now they hear too often a sarcasm, and a few curses in their hearts are almost enough.

Naturally, Bi Xia here is not bored to lead the deer out for a walk. In order to get himself in the position, he couldn't think of any good way, so he decided to refer to Zhao Gao's trick of "pointing a deer into a horse", and try to see if he can achieve his goal.

He still displayed his terrible acting skills and cried vigorously, "My lord... Uh, you mean uh, my father's coffin has been sent away, right?" He himself cried even worse after speaking. "How could it be...! I, I still want to take my favorite pony to accompany Father on the road..."

All eyes immediately turned to the beautiful deer.

……horse?Did they hear correctly?

Li Si stood not far from Bi Xia, with an extremely delicate expression on his face.

When Bi Xia made such a fuss suddenly, Zhao Gao clenched the bamboo book in his hand for a while, then slowly walked down from the high platform and walked towards him.

"I... this pony was rewarded by my father back then, I..." Bi Xia's cry suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face became firm, "I'm going to accompany my father!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the little deer and walked outside.

Everyone was puzzled, and all of a sudden they all had an idea: Is this little boy Hu Hai a little... stupid?

Zhao Gao suddenly called to him, "Master!"

Bi Xia looked back at Zhao Gao with a crying face, "Teacher..."

"My lord." Zhao Gao walked towards him in three steps at a time, holding the deer in his hand at the same time, "My lord, did you say that this deer was a gift from the late emperor?"

"What kind of deer?" Bi Xia blinked, "This is my favorite horse, not a deer!"

Zhao Gao looked at the deer under him, and then at Bi Xia, his frown suddenly relaxed, and there was even a trace of satisfaction in the depths of his eyes.His tone also softened, "Okay, this is a deer."

Taichang, who was dissatisfied with Bixia's inexplicable behavior from the beginning, now directly reprimanded, "Commander of CRRC, what are you doing? Such a rude idiot, let him go away!"

Zhao Gao didn't answer him directly, but softly comforted Bi Xia, turned his head and squinted at Tai Chang, then raised the bamboo book in his hand, "Master Tai Chang, young master...you can't go. "

Bi Xia blinked his big eyes, watched Zhao Gaofu walk up to the high platform again with an innocent face, and then unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand with a "snap".

"My lords." He held up the bamboo slips, "Before his death, the late emperor summoned the prime minister and his subordinates and left a handwritten letter. You must have heard about it."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Li Si, Li Si looked like an old god, and did not respond to Zhao Gao's words.

Zhao Gao then vigorously put away the bamboo slips, and then raised his voice, "The late emperor left a will...for the young master Hu Hai to succeed to the throne."

...the audience fell silent for a moment.

After three breaths, there was an uproar among the officials, and Tai Chang's face was livid, "Master CRRC Mansion Commander, you can eat food indiscriminately, you can't say such words casually!"

There were other officials who were busy winking at Li Si, and the straightforward ones had already asked directly, "Master Prime Minister, this Zhao Gao is talking nonsense in the court, look—"

Li Si took a step forward, but just shook his head silently.

The corner of Zhao Gao's mouth twitched into a faint smile, "Don't you believe me? You still have the imperial edict written by the late emperor in your hand."

"A bunch of nonsense!" Taichang is not young, and he was so angry that Zhao Gao's words made him blow his beard and stare, "When the eldest son returns to Xianyang, he will understand himself!"

"Eldest son?" Zhao Gao seemed to have heard some joke, "Tsk tsk tsk, I seem to have forgotten to inform you all, but the late emperor left two wills."

"... Fusu and the general Meng Tian were commanded to station hundreds of thousands of troops on the border for more than ten years. There is no merit of any size... Fusu was an unfilial son, so he gave him a sword to kill himself. General Meng Tian was a disloyal minister, and he gave him To die, and to serve Wang Li with the help of soldiers." Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows high, "This is roughly written in the second posthumous edict, and this edict was sent to Shangjun a month ago."

Taichang took a few steps back in shock, and kept saying: "No...impossible..."

Zhao Gao sneered, "Taichang is questioning the late emperor? There is also the seal of the late emperor on the edict!"

There was a suffocating silence in the entire court, only Bi Xia's deer barked "Yo Yo" a few times.

This voice reawakened Taichang's combat power, and he stared angrily, "What about the will! If we don't see the will with our own eyes, how will we know the truth of what you said!"

"Oh——" Zhao Gao nodded, "That's right." He threw the bamboo slip in his hand in front of the ministers, only to hear a "pop", and the bamboo slip fell to the ground and unfolded slightly. Some.

Taichang gritted his teeth and endured Zhao Gao's rude behavior, and took a step forward to pick it up for inspection.

At this moment, Zhao Gao, who was standing on the high platform, clapped his hands lightly, and there was a sudden sound of armor colliding and orderly but chilly footsteps around the hall.

But in a blink of an eye, seemingly endless soldiers rushed out from all around the court hall, sealing all the side doors, and at the same time surrounded all the ministers on the field.Most of the light in the entire court hall was blocked in an instant, and the hall was instantly dimmed.

The corner of Zhao Gao's mouth remained the same, looking at Taichang whose fingertips had already touched the bamboo slip, he said softly, "Master Taichang, don't you want to read it?"

In the dim palace, Zhao Gao's voice was like a ghost.Tai Chang looked at the blank half of the bamboo slips, curling up his fingers slightly.

Finally, he closed his eyes, and finally curled his hands into fists, and slowly retracted them.

At the same time, Li Si's voice resounded faintly beside him, "Your servant greets the new emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
