...

In the past half month, the atmosphere in Xianyang has been very depressing.

Since the news that Emperor First Emperor was seriously ill when he was traveling back to Qi County, Xianyang City, which was immersed in the joy of harvest and the lively Mid-Autumn Festival, was instantly deserted.

When His Majesty was in the capital, although he often heard of a headache or fever, the longest time was only seven or eight days, and in the short time it would be cured in two or three days.

The diligent Emperor of the First Emperor was almost the object of respect for the people of Xianyang. The reform and development of the Qin Dynasty over the years are obvious to all. Although all this is the contribution of the Qinghe Marquis, it is also closely related to the support of His Majesty.

The Marquis of Qinghe and Emperor Shi Huang have almost become models of the relationship between the monarch and the ministers throughout the ages. It was the two monarch and the ministers who tightly tied the people of the seven countries after the unification, which made the prosperous scene that has never been before and after.

But during this tour, Your Majesty fell ill and heard it was very serious.

Immediately afterwards, the celestial phenomena of Ying Huo guarding his heart occurred. A meteor fell in Dongjun, and a prophecy of the First Emperor's death on the meteorite. Although the imperial guards announced that someone had a daughter to forge it, this incident still caused great shock to the people, and all kinds of rumors and panic among the people.

In recent days, there have been rumors of inexplicable origins. When Your Majesty arrived at the Shadune of Langya County, he fainted and was helpless. The imperial doctors and doctors who accompanied him were helpless. In the end, it was the Marquis of Qinghe who used immortal skills to save Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty suffered from the illusion. Not only did he not know everyone around him, but he could not even remember who he was.

As soon as this news came out, it instantly stirred up the entire Xianyang.

Not only was there an uproar among the people, but ordinary people quarreled with disciples from hundreds of families, but civil and military officials and nobles and nobles were even more frightened.

No court officials came out to clarify this news, and the more they spread, they became more and more slight. The people of Xianyang gradually became skeptical from the beginning when they did not believe it, until they were frightened and helpless.

More people who care about the future of Daqin naturally began to speculate whether Daqin should be appointed as a new king.

No matter how powerful the First Emperor is, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Even if the First Emperor is still alive, an emperor who loses all his memories and cannot rule the court and rule the country will never be able to control the country. The rules of the princes have always been like this.

But the biggest problem is that His Majesty has never appointed a queen, let alone a prince.

So how can you choose a new monarch when Your Majesty is still alive but cannot designate a prince?

The most popular among the people is naturally the eldest son Fusu. In the past six months, he has been assisting Feng Quji in the court in handling the government affairs. He has done his work carefully and meticulously and handled the government orders properly. He has been highly praised by the court officials. He is the first candidate regardless of his status.

Of course, many people in the people agree with the founding of the eldest grandson of the emperor. After all, the Hou of Qinghe was his teacher, and he also had the halo of the young master, which seemed to be more legitimate.

The common people speculated that the students quarreled, and all kinds of rumors were flying everywhere. Even officials from the three provinces and six ministries were divided into several factions. Some advocated Ziying, some advocated Fusu, some advocated some other young masters, and even secretly had ulterior motives to speculate whether the Hou of Qinghe would hostage the First Emperor to usurp the throne...

Although anyone who hears this speculation will sneer at it, it is the most lethal news.

From royal family members to gentry officials, to peddlers and pawns, people gathered in some dark corners to excitedly discuss. It seemed that many people really thought that if the First Emperor could not take power, it would be better to pass the throne to the Marquis of Qinghe.

Many people even began to promote the ancient classics of Yao and Shun's abdication among the people to prove the legitimacy of this system of inheriting the throne.

Among them, there are many internal members of the system with huge influence, including newspapers, arts and even sciences.

The people were anxious and the court officials were even more worried.

Since Meng Yi brought ten young masters back to the capital, the activities of drinking tea, drinking and chatting between princes, princes, nobles and civil and military officials instantly became dense.

After the news of the sand dune lesions was heard back, these visits and chats became even more blatant. Many Qinghou started to discuss when they met. Even when they went to court, many officials directly asked the specific situation of Emperor Meng Yishi, the chief official of the government. When they talked, they could basically not do anything in the morning court. This shows that the civil and military officials in the court were extremely nervous and uneasy.

In fact, compared with the uneasiness of court officials and the people, the royal family was even more in chaos.

The ladies, concubines and palace maids in the harem were crying in tears all day long. Once the First Emperor suddenly collapsed or had a few mistakes, these women would instantly lose their current status and make no living in the future.

Unlike the wife and concubines of the First Emperor, the more than ten young masters who are still in Xianyang, they are frightened and call their staff and disciples to repeatedly discuss what will happen in the future.

But these are all on the surface, and there is a more powerful force in Xianyang in secret. While spreading various rumors, it is gathering a large number of nobles and civil and military ministers to try to take advantage of the situation and subvert the Qin Dynasty.

However, whether it is open or undercurrent, what everyone cares most about is the state after the First Emperor returned to Xianyang. There is also one of the most critical figures, that is, Chen Xu, the Marquis of Qinghe who is now the left prime minister, Tai Shi, Shangqing, etc., and many other strongest auras.

Chen Xu's attitude will determine the future of Daqin.

Even though Zhao Hai and others had decided to take action first, they still had to be careful and try not to conflict with Chen Xu head-on. The deterrence of a lively immortal disciple is more terrifying than that of a First Emperor who lost his soul and memory, and the consequences of killing him are even more unpredictable. They can only borrow edicts to occupy a high level of status. After all, this is still the world of the Qin Dynasty, and the royal family's surname Ying is not Chen.

In this era of family and world, even if the royal family usurped the throne, it was more legitimate than foreign ministers who were seeking to seize the throne.

It also receives more support from a large number of loyal nobles and royal relatives and relatives who are loyal to the royal family.

As long as Hu Hai successfully ascended the throne of the emperor, even if Chen Xu was a disciple of the immortal family, he would not be able to rebel blatantly, otherwise he would give the royal family more excuses. A disciple of the immortal family with a mortal body would be killed. If Taiyi Immortal Lord comes, there would naturally be a tall man to resist.

And this tall man would definitely be Hu Hai, the second generation of Qin, who ascended the throne.

There are so many young men and great-grandchildren in the royal family, and they can’t change one if they die.

Taiyi Immortal Lord can't kill all the Qin royal family.

...

In late autumn, Guanzhong becomes colder and colder.

The autumn wind passes by day.

It seemed that in a blink of an eye, the Taiyi Mountains, which were already intertwined with red and yellow, turned into bare forests in just a few days.

The treetops and weeds in the early morning are covered with a thick layer of frost.

In the distant factory of the Academy of Sciences, several large chimneys for steel and iron were smoking weakly.

There are many pedestrians on the road recently. The Oriental Road, which used to be bustling, has been scattered recently. Even the Cuju Shopping Mall, which is very lively all day, has seen a large decrease in tourists in the past half month.

Under the influence of Emperor Qin Shi’s serious illness, the entire Xianyang suddenly seemed to be coming as winter. Everyone was depressed and they looked serious when they met and talked. They couldn’t help but lower their voices, because the wind in Xianyang has been too tight recently, and various rumors are flying all over the sky, and there are still people in the secret that it is constantly fueling the fire. Everyone doesn’t know what is trustworthy and what is not trustworthy. Everyone has a premonition that it seems that the peaceful and prosperous Qin will soon fall into chaos.

At the end of the Yin hour, the four closed doors of Xianyang City opened almost at the same time.

But the number of people entering and leaving the city has dropped by half compared with August. Most of them are civilians and servants. They go in and out of the city to do business and buy, and then dress up more scholars. Most of them are people who come to work outside the city by the School of Literature, publishing houses, printing factories, and science colleges.

Several buses that were driving in the early morning were also slowly moving forward in the midst of the travelling carriages and horses.

These buses have been running for eight years. Except for the axle wheels that have been replaced with steel bearings, the body of the car is almost the same as before. After years of operation, it has become extremely old. The advertisements sprayed on the body are also mottled. It is no longer the new and amazing things that were originally when it started to run. It has become a necessary tool for travel in the ordinary life that the people of Xianyang have gradually become familiar with.

You can take more than ten miles with just one or two coins. Apart from the convenience, you can no longer arouse any joy or excitement. Only those country bumpkins and foreign landlords who have ever lived in Xianyang and seen buses will occasionally exclaim a few times, and the result will inevitably be a roll of contempt.

Amid the ringing of the car bells and horses, the traffic and horses entering and leaving the four doors are in an orderly manner, and the East Gate, which is the most lively all year round, is still much more lively than the other three city gates.

"Look, there are so many cars and horses coming from the bridge~" Someone suddenly exclaimed in and out of the crowd.

"With the blue flag in it, it seems...it seems to be the carriage and horse of the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion!"

"Wow, is the Marquis returning to Beijing?"

The crowd was in a stir, and even the soldiers guarding the city gate became excited and looked around on tiptoe. Soon, a hundred generals in leather armor rushed down from the city tower and shouted loudly to speed up the speed of entering and leaving the city. A caravan carrying goods from the Taishi Mansion came back.

"Oh" Many people were immediately discouraged when they heard this.

Because Qinghe Park is renovated, every month in the past six months, a caravan from Qinghe Hou Mansion will return from all over the east, south, west and north, bringing back a large number of mysterious and mysterious goods. It is heard that they are rare things in Xianyang. Although some well-informed people have some news, they cannot tell a single Zi Chou Yin and Mao. Therefore, the people of Xianyang can only hope that Qinghe Park will open as soon as possible, so that they can see how novel these goods are.

The Marquis of Qinghe has never disappointed the people of Xianyang.

This time, it won't disappoint.

Only the timing is not good this time, Your Majesty is seriously ill, everyone can guess that before the First Emperor's condition has not improved and the court has made arrangements, Qinghe Park will not be open for the time being, and may even be delayed indefinitely.

In recent times, the entire Xianyang business, restaurant and other industries have been in a downturn. Many investors have a feeling of collapse. Some people have even begun to sell the real estate, grain fields and real estate in Xianyang.

Although the capital is the most prosperous, richest and most profitable place in the world.

But once something happens, it is the fastest place to die.
