Chapter 65 The road ahead is vast

Lin Suqing immediately guarded against the adult, beware of the man suddenly taking out a weapon from his sleeve and sending him to the emperor for burial.

If the person lying down is really Qin Shihuang, then as expected, he corresponds to Hu Hai in history, and this master should be Zhao Gao.

His name is Shiyijun now, and he is a pseudonym in the illusory realm. I don’t know what the pseudonym of Zhao Gao became, so I think he is Zhao Gao for the time being.

History only says that Qin Shihuang died on the way to the parade, and Zhao Gao and Hu Haimi did not die, and no one really knew whether Qin Shihuang's death was really because of his serious illness and was designed to be poisoned.

Hu Hai was later a puppet emperor, and there is no record of whether the real Hu Hai was coerced by Zhao Gao.

Judging from the current situation alone, although the poison in the decoction was mixed with Zhao Gao, the eighteenth prince who was fed to the emperor was his eighteenth prince. As for whom poisoned the emperor, Zhao Gao could only be considered a co-conspiracy and a support.

Whether it is in terms of status or feasibility, he will only be convicted of - the one who poisoned him, the one who killed him, and the real murderer was him, the prince!

This is actually a disguised coercion!

Then, Lin Suqing glanced at Zhao Gao's hand groping in his sleeve. Just as his hand was about to take off from his sleeve, Lin Suqing pounced on him and held it down, whispering: "What do you want to do?"

The eighteenth prince named Shiyi was weak and thin, with clear joints and hands that could not use force at all. Lin Suqing was a little worried that he could not hold on to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao saw that Lin Suqing was guarding against him, so he said, "The old minister just wanted to present a letter to Shiyijun."

"Letter?" Lin Suqing frowned. When he saw a corner of the envelope exposed at Zhao Gao's cuff, he let go of his hand skeptical.

Zhao Gao calmly took out a letter from his sleeve that had not been sealed. Then he raised his drooping eyelids and glanced at Lin Suqing, saying with some meaning: "This is the edict written by His Majesty this morning and asked the old minister to write. Does Shiyi Jun want to know what is written in it?"

Lin Suqing pretended to be calm, and looked at the situation of the carriage from the end of his eyes.

Although in history, Hu Hai still had value in use at this time and there was no danger. However, it is not guaranteed that he, Hu Hai, would not have any problems.

He was thinking in his mind how he would successfully escape if this old thing was to be with him.

Then he looked at the emperor again, without any struggle, his face changed from gray to purple and black, as if his breath was about to fade.

Lin Suqing felt heavy in his heart. He might be unable to protect himself at the moment. How could he take care of this emperor who was seriously ill and poisoned? He was a little panicked.

Zhao Gao was very calm. Whether Lin Suqing heard it or kept saying, "This is the edict of Your Majesty to recall Prince Yu to ascend the throne."

Another battle for the throne?

Lin Suqing was in tears. What did the second prince say so that he could not say anything well, and he insisted on throwing him away to send the head?

Knowing this, Zhao Gao's behavior is easy to guess, so he said to the false accusation: "You have not sent someone to send it out for a long time. Could it be that you want to tamper with the edict?"

He dealt with it on the surface and began to think about countermeasures in his heart. Assuming that these were two games played by the Lord with him, he undoubtedly lost the last game. However, he must win this game, and he must find a way to save the life of Shi Yijun.

However, in history, Hu Hai obeyed Zhao Gaoyan and did not die at this time. So, no matter what he did, Hu Hai would not die? He wanted to give it a try.

"Shiyi Jun Yingwei is extraordinary."

Zhao Gao once again took out another letter with the same enclosure.

"The old minister was appointed as the rank of the zhongche office and also performed the chariot and seal orders for more than 20 years. Your Majesty's edicts and affairs of all sizes were written by the old minister."

He stretched out his hand and pointed one of the letters, saying, "Now this is a will. Your Majesty's seal is absolutely true. But what is the specific content? Who dares to question it?"

This is an unconcealed rebellion that has been put on the surface.

Lin Suqing couldn't help but feel a little anxious. What if he was not as cowardly as Hu Hai in history, nor did he obey Zhao Gaoyan like Hu Hai? What would happen?

He glanced at Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao knew how to read his words and expressions. He immediately noticed Lin Suqing's doubts and said: "Shiyijun, the old minister's actions are all for the future of Shiyijun. If Shiyijun is unwilling, the old minister will destroy it, and the original case will be posted."

He took out a fire note and made a gesture to burn the fake letter to ashes in front of Lin Suqing.

It’s hard to guess, so it’s better to try it out!

Lin Suqing quickly interrupted Zhao Gao's hand that wanted to ignite the letter and asked: "Why do you want to help me?

"Didn't Mr. Shiyi ask this more? You have been following the old ministers to learn the law since you were young, and you can't help you no matter how you do it."

Zhao Gao said it seemed sincerely and said, "Your Majesty is critically ill and still insists on passing the throne to Gongzi Yu. This is for the future of Shiyijun, so he has to implement this plan."

Lin Suqing didn't know the details and did not dare to speak rashly, so he led the topic to the emperor and said, "Father has not been around for a long time, so why do you need to do this? He valued you so much, but now you want to kill him."

Seeing Lin Suqing showing his wife's kindness, Zhao Gao said, "Jun Shiyi, it's not that the old minister will not let Your Majesty survive today, but that Your Majesty himself does not want to live anymore, otherwise Your Majesty would not rush to call the old minister to draw a will. The old minister is just using your hand to help Your Majesty get rid of the torture of illness."

What a man who uses his hand to help the emperor get rid of it. If he were really a child as young as the Eighteenth Prince, he would probably be fooled by Zhao Gao.

Then, Zhao Gao pushed the bowl of decoction to Lin Suqing and said sincerely: "Jun Shiyi, if you are the true qi and hate the old minister, you will give the remaining decoction to the old minister, and the old minister will drink it without saying a word. But you must consider clearly how to explain the cause of your Majesty and the old minister to the world. The old minister is worried that the prince will pursue it at that time... it will be unfavorable to you."

Then, he glanced at the dying emperor from the corner of his eyes, "Suppose the old minister is brave. The old minister thinks that you might as well feed all this bowl of medicine to His Majesty to save His Majesty from suffering and to be liberated. After that, the old minister will assist you in eliminating dissidents and help you ascend the throne smoothly."

It was like a dilemma that an arrow had to be fired on the string.

Lin Suqing asked calmly: "What if I don't choose either of me?"

"It's time for this, you have to choose a way out." Zhao Gaogao said inexplicably, "If you don't choose either, you will only be the old minister who follows you and drinks this bowl of medicine, so that you can avoid being humiliated after Gongzi Yu becomes emperor."

Lin Suqing understood that Zhao Gao's first step in his plan was to create a handle for poisoning the emperor. He wanted to use this handle to force him to submit and force him to inherit the throne. Otherwise, once the matter was revealed, he would die himself.

No wonder Hu Hai believed Zhao Gao's slander. Lin Suqing thought to himself - then use evil to control evil and kill people to silence them.

Lin Suqing grabbed Zhao Gao's throat and said, "Do you think I dare not kill you?"

"You won't kill the old minister. You know how to calculate this account. There are only these three ways, it depends on how Shi Yijun decides."

"Three?" Lin Suqing threw him away and said, "There is still a way."

Zhao Gao calmly climbed up and knelt down, saying slowly: "I don't know, so I would like to ask Shiyi to give me advice."

Lin Suqing glanced at him and said sarcastically: "If I kill you and go to the underworld to apologize, will I go far away?"

Zhao Gao was slightly stunned and said in a traitor: "I hope you can ask Shiyi to listen to a loyal advice from the old minister. Your Majesty is terminally ill and is now seriously toxic. There is no way to turn the world back."

Then he said, "Even if I really found the medicine for immortality, Shiyi Jun, think about it for a moment. If you saved Your Majesty, what do you think Your Majesty should deal with you? Should you cut into pieces by thousands of knives? Or will you dismember yourself from five horses? Judging from the old minister's experience of serving Your Majesty for many years, these may not be considered severe punishment."

Zhao Gao glanced at Lin Suqing insidiously and snorted coldly: "Your Majesty is very likely to throw you and me into the basin and suck and bite them with hundreds of insects."

Lin Suqing was stunned - this treacherous old thief.

"Your Majesty cannot save you, let's talk about your choice. Shiyi Jun, don't say that the whole world is full of imperial land. If you don't have the old ministers serving you, you can't even get out of the camping place. I dare to ask Shiyi Jun, but have you figured out how you want to escape and where can you escape?"

He used the word "escape" to summarize Lin Suqing's choice, which was to understand Lin Suqing's thoughts in detail.

But although he knew the traitor, he had no choice but to do anything to him, and could only sigh that he was despicable and shameless!

"Maybe..." Zhao Gao suddenly said again, "The old minister left a letter to surrender his crime, voluntarily surrendered, and went with His Majesty. But Shiyi Jun, Gongzi Yu is the crown prince established by His Majesty. After Gongzi Yu ascended the throne, would he really believe that it was the old minister's crime? At that time, how would Gongzi Yu choose for the hatred of killing his father and his brotherhood? It is unknown."

Why was Lin Suqing not clear? He had just experienced a battle to seize the throne, and the brotherly love between the royal family was probably even thinner than paper. Brotherly love must be unreliable. Even if no one advised him, the prince would think it was his move.
