Chapter 50 Chapter 48: One Family Zhonglie II dies, Zhao Gao must die and Meng Tian is buried

Zhao Gao wanted to kill the grass and roots, and extended his sinful hands to Meng Tian's wife and two sons.He forced the second emperor to commit suicide in exchange for becoming the king of Guanzhong. Seeing that this dream could not continue, Zhao Gao used Ziying as a shield.Lan Yuan, Jiao Yang, and other people led the way to lure and kill Zhao Gao, and Qin died at this time.Lan Yuan and Jiao Yang brought their children to Yang Zhou to pay homage to Fu Su and Meng Tian's souls.The scorching sun made the decision to bring Meng Tian's shirt, armor, and boots back to his bosom to build a grave for burial.

While Zhao Gao was rejoicing for the victory in the court battle, there were often dumbfounded faces in front of his eyes.Once the first emperor died, he defeated all the top figures in the Qin Dynasty, such as Fusu, Meng Tian, ​​Li Si, Meng Yi, and concubine Li... Fighting with these people is so enjoyable and exciting!In the end, he had to deal with the idiot Hu Hai the Second.Now he felt that fighting with this idiot was a bit worthless. Zhao Gao suddenly remembered one thing, Meng Tian still has two sons... how are these two sons doing now?He called Jin Cheng, the envoy from the capital, to find out. Knowing that their three mothers were still under guard at Mahouzhuang, Zhao Gao was afraid for a while.Jin Cheng's injured arm has also healed. Although the leg injury has healed, it is left with some disabilities.Zhao Gao made a decapitation action, Jin Cheng naturally understood what it meant, and immediately led people straight to Yangzhou Mahouzhuang.Zhao Gaosheng was afraid that others would be sloppy, but in fact he didn't trust outsiders, so he sent his son-in-law Yan Le over there too.According to the news reported by Yang Zhou, Meng Tian's wife and two sons were imprisoned, and the food and drink were sent by the people of Yang Zhou voluntarily, and some soldiers even secretly helped them.This is enough to show that as long as these people raise their arms and shout, there will be people from all directions to respond.This was intolerable to Zhao Gao, and he made a vow in his heart: I will let you send it off!Jin Cheng and Yan Le came to Mahou Village together, and the vigilant eyes of the people in the village told them that this place was definitely not the capital city, so after discussing with each other, they decided to find a way to get Meng Tian's two sons out before making a move.There is a barracks next to Mahouzhuang, and Yan Le, wearing an official uniform, read the emperor's announcement to the crowd:

General Meng Tian was framed to death, and it has been found out that he was wronged.In view of the fact that the general cannot be innocently wronged, he is hereby rehabilitated.His two sons can shade and inherit important positions in the Yang Zhou army, and they will be implemented as soon as they are written, so as to show the favor of the new king.This! The common people burst into cheers when they heard this, it is true that the heavens have eyes and the general has been rehabilitated... Ma Lianlian and her two sons also burst into tears with excitement, and they couldn't restrain their inner joy and said: "Finally, this day has come! "

"Mother, the new emperor has allowed us to join the army." A group of officers and soldiers withdrew from Mahouzhuang that day, and another group of officers and soldiers came to Mahouzhuang early the next morning and said, "General Wang Li has already arrived at the camp of the Yangzhou Central Army." Set up the sacrificial altar, take the two sons over to take over the military positions, and pay homage to the general's dead soul. Please hurry up." Meng Jing and Meng Xian ran out of the gate happily and boarded two carriages.Ma Lianlian then went with her in her own carriage.However, the two carriages did not go on the same road. Shortly after they set off, one headed west and the other headed south, heading for the west gate and south gate of the barracks respectively.The carriage stopped at the west gate, and a ferocious man pulled Meng Jing out of the carriage, and a man in black beside him quickly read out the imperial edict:

Meng Tian's second son was guilty of his father's majestic master, fearing that the country would be disadvantaged in the future, so he immediately beheaded to show the public.This! Meng Jing said anxiously: "Then what happened yesterday when I complained for my father?" "Yesterday was false, today is true. Execute!" After the man finished speaking, an executioner was waiting behind him, and he swung his knife to chop off. Poor Meng Jing was slaughtered for no reason. Someone took Meng Jing's head and stuck it in the The camp gate is high above the stalks.And Meng Xian, who drove from Nanmen, also met with the same bad luck... Ma Lianlian saw something different, why did they drive to the nearest barracks in Yangzhou, and hurriedly chased after them, but what they saw were the bodies of Nanmen and Ximen's own two sons. A miserable scene in a different place.How could Mrs. Ma endure such a blow... She looked around in a daze, thinking that there was no room for her in this big world, so she fell into the well at the entrance of the camp in despair.By the time everyone came to rescue her, Ma Lianlian had already passed away...

Yan Le reported back to Zhao Gao the results of completing the task at Mahouzhuang in Yangzhou. Zhao Gao didn't look too happy, but said to himself: "It's time to verify everything..." Son-in-law He wanted to ask for a reward, but he didn't know why Yue Zhang said so, so he asked: "What does father want to prove?" Zhao Gao said quietly: "Go and bring me a deer, I want to give the emperor a generous gift..." Son-in-law Even more surprised...but seeing Zhao Gao's ferocious expression, he had no choice but to keep silent and dare not ask. Yan Le led a stag into the court hall with his father-in-law Zhao Gao.In recent years, the new Prime Minister Zhao has many differences, which are often unbelievable, and everyone has long been used to it.Faced with the appearance of Zhao Gaoweng and his son-in-law, everyone didn't know why, with complicated expressions, and could only wait and see what happened. Could it be that the Bucks also wanted to "participate in and discuss politics" with everyone?Fortunately, I haven't seen the young emperor for many days, and everyone should always care about him.Hu Hai's eyes were dark, his expression was listless, he was yawning all over the place, and he wore some concubine's gorgeous belt around his waist.In the end, Hu Hai saw Zhao Gao and Yan Le leading the stag into the court hall, and laughed in surprise: "Prime Minister, this is..."

"Your Majesty, this is a fine BMW horse presented to you by the old minister. I just got it yesterday." The clever ministers had already guessed what Zhao Gao wanted to do, and they had already thought of a good countermeasure.Hu Hai couldn't help laughing out loud: "Prime Minister, why are you so good at joking? This is obviously a deer, how do you say it's a horse?" Hu Hai thought Zhao Gao was joking with himself.Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao said very seriously: "The one presented by the minister is definitely a good BMW horse, not a deer! If you don't believe me, you can ask the ministers."

"My loves, is this a horse or a deer?" The stupid Second Emperor still couldn't realize Zhao Gao's intentions.One of the ministers came out and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a horse." Several others followed suit: "Yes, Your Majesty, it is indeed a horse. Take a closer look." The second emperor opened his eyes wide and stared at the horse. The stag, which was still struggling in Yan Le's hands, looked bewildered. Suddenly, another person jumped out from inside, and said loudly with an angry and provocative expression: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a deer..." Zhao Gao snorted, "I said it was a horse..." Immediately, two guards came up Before grabbing the person who just told the truth, that person was taken out of the court.Second King opened his mouth in surprise, as if he understood.Zhao Gao said sternly: "It seems that this kind of person who is able to tell lies is mainly to provoke the relationship between us and other officials. He must not be allowed to be so arrogant." creepy...

The second generation Hu Hai already understood his situation in his heart.After coming down to court, he was restlessly preparing to go back to the palace, but Yan Le ran over and said, "Your Majesty, you have to go that way. You haven't been to Wangyi Palace for a long time..." The Second Hu Hai suddenly wanted to get angry , but in the end it was found that the person who got angry was wrong, and all the guards and palace people around him were under the control of this person, who would listen to the emperor.Therefore, he could only swallow his anger, miss his concubines, and came to Wangyi Palace.Here is another group of concubines that he doesn't know, serving the second emperor from back to front, coquettishly teasing the second, the concubines and court ladies are completely naked, and have already stripped the second emperor's clothes...

At this time, Hangu Pass was already in danger, and the rebels attacked day and night. Zhang Han had to send Sima Xin back to Beijing to ask the emperor to send troops for reinforcements.But Sima Xin is hard to see even at Zhao Gao's level, let alone the second emperor.After waiting for a few days, there was no movement, but I heard a lot of news about Zhao Gao's abuse of power, harming the government and ministers. I also learned that there are many heroes in the world, and the war is continuous, and the second emperor only knows to be happy with his concubines and court ladies. Sima Xin was so frightened that he ran back to Hangu Pass and told the truth.Zhang Han saw that he was powerless, so he had to hang up the white flag and surrender the rebel army.

As soon as the water at Hangu Pass was released, the volunteer armies from all walks of life were like broken bamboos, and soldiers came to the city of Xianyang in a few days. At this time, the Qin Dynasty was already in frequent wars, and heroes from all over the country rose up or formed alliances to fight against Qin.The former Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have been wiped out, and new and larger forces are scrambling for the cake of Qin.The Second Emperor didn't even know about all this. He had another favorite concubine in Wangyi Palace, so he no longer missed the concubines in Yuhui Palace. Apart from flirting with the concubines all day long, he just pretended to go hunting.The second emperor's hunting level is really average. He neither wants to chase wild animals nor ride a horse. He just shoots everywhere with a bow and arrow.Before this, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, I accidentally shot and killed several pasture breeders.Zhao Gao and others also praised him for his precision in archery, the best in the world.However, this time he was not so lucky, he shot a breeder to death again... Yan Le immediately stepped forward to confiscate his weapon, bow and arrow, and threatened: "Your Majesty, you are good at shooting people to death. According to the law of Qin, if a prince breaks the law, he is the same as the common people, and you will be punished." The second emperor was horrified and at a loss when he heard this.Yan Le escorted the second emperor back to the Xianyang Inner Palace just like escorting a suspect. At this time, Zhao Gao had already contacted the leader of the rebel army in private, intending to reconcile.Zhao Gao wishfully wanted to force the second emperor to abdicate in exchange for the rebels giving up the siege of Xianyang City, but the rebels were noncommittal.Therefore, Zhao Gao proposed that he could immediately hang the head of the second emperor on the city, on the condition that the rebels must withdraw from Xianyang for twenty miles first.The leaders of the rebel army agreed after discussing.The rebels retreated twenty li. He had already put on a friendly gesture, so Zhao Gao had no choice but to show it.It was still this Yan Le, who was performing his duties indifferently, seeing Zhao Gao perform a decapitation... Yan Le felt a rare pressure, and his embarrassment was beyond words.The Second Emperor didn't believe that Zhao Gao would rebel at all... But at this moment, Yan Le rushed into the palace with murderous intent: "You have no way to fool the emperor, you deceived your mother and killed your brother, pretended to usurp the throne, and harmed Zhongliang. The people rebelled, today I, Yan Le, want to eliminate harm for the people!" The atmosphere was very tense, and the second emperor didn't have a word of rebuttal, and finally only asked: "Can I see the prime minister?" Yan Le shook his head: "No." Seeing the city There is nothing to deal with, Hu Hai can think about it: "Well, I will not be the emperor anymore, just give me a piece of fiefdom, and I can be a county king!" Yan Le continued to shake his head: "No." Hu Hai further lowered the request: "The prince No, but it’s enough to give it to a million households.” Yan Le shook his head impatiently: “No.” Hu Hai was extremely sad, “But it’s okay to be a commoner, right? Please tell the Prime Minister, he will agree.” Yan Le sneered and said: "I came here at the order of the prime minister, and I also came here to eliminate harm for the people of the world. No matter how much I say now, it will not help." After finishing speaking, his subordinates rushed up to bind the second emperor, and chopped off his body. Its head hangs high above the city of Xianyang.Yan Le shouted loudly to the leaders of the rebel army besieging the city: "You see, this is Hu Hai, the second emperor of Wudao and Faint Lord." throw down the city... The second emperor was dead, and the leaders of the rebel army under the city did not respond.Zhao Gao sent the archers to shoot down the letter, but there was no response from the other party... His counselor said: "Liu Ji, Zhang Liang, Zhong Lishan and others are all mobs, and they don't belong to each other. If they think about it, they will chaos without fighting. We don't care about them. The world cannot be without a master for a day, why not test the ministers, you are about to ascend the throne!" Hearing this, Zhao Gao's eyes stared straight, and he couldn't recover for a long time, I, Zhao Gao, will be the emperor one day?Can I be emperor?He saw encouragement and approval in the eyes of all his staff... When he personally walked up to Danchi with the jade seal, none of the ministers were willing to enter the hall.The ministers were silent, obviously Zhao Gao wanted to play the game of "pointing a deer for a horse" again, but this time everyone was determined not to play with him again.Suddenly, a desperate minister jumped up and shouted: "No matter how bad the second emperor is, he is still a king, and your son-in-law killed him openly..." Zhao Gao reacted very quickly, and shouted sharply: "What? This thief even killed the old man Keep Yan Le in the dark, and arrest Yan Le." Immediately, someone came over and handed over Yan Le's weapon, but Yan Le couldn't argue and was taken away by the guards...the matter broke up in such a bad way. Back home, the counselors were in a rush again, coming up with ideas, thinking that Zhao Gao didn’t need to rush at all: first find a son of the Ying family clan to help him become the emperor, now that there are so many heroes, it’s unclear who will die, just wait and see... After today's unexpected setback in court, Zhao Gao really realized the role of a counselor.Everyone finally found out that Emperor Shihuang's cousin had a son named Ziying.Everyone was still discussing, but Zhao Gao had already made a decisive decision, and personally went to the door and knelt down at Ziying's feet, but he frightened Ziying, who was only thinking about a safe life... that day, he carried Ziying into the palace in Luanjia , All the ministers paid homage to the court, shouting long live!In this way, Ziying became emperor in a daze.In fact, Ziying was very reluctant. He saw that the Qin Dynasty was in turmoil, and thought that it would not be a troubled time, so what would happen to me, Ziying?When there were no outsiders, Ziying discussed this matter with his two sons. Ziying said: "Once Zhao Gao gets over the difficulties and the situation improves, my family will die..." The father and son couldn't figure it out.Someone from the door came to report that someone wanted to come to see you... Ziying came to the living room, and saw the two hostesses.This is Lan Yuan and Jiao Yang, and they bowed their heads to meet Ziying: "Minister Lan Yuan and Jiao Yang are meeting His Majesty the new emperor!" Ziying hastily stepped forward and helped the two daughters: "Dare to ask the two ladies what is the matter? Do you want to come to my house in person?" "Minnv risked her life to come and congratulate me to the new emperor first. The minnv is the son Fu Su Zhiru's wife, looking forward to the new emperor's congratulations." "The daughter of the people, Jiaoyang, is General Meng Tian's wife, so I don't take the liberty to disturb you." So far, Ziying has basically guessed why the second daughter came.He looked around and saw that there were only his two sons in the mansion, so he raised his hand and said: "You two don't need to say more, just hide in my mansion for a few days first. I will make arrangements for the rest." Lan Yuan, The scorching sun understands.Later, Lan Yuan and Jiao Yang introduced Zhong Lishan to Ziying.Zhong Lishan took a step forward and said: "Zhonglishan pays homage to me as the new emperor! If you don't give up, I will serve you with you..." Ziying had already seen that this person is a good person, and he is a person who can be used, so he said softly: " Martyrs, please follow me..." The court congratulations three days later is very important to Zhao Gao. He wants to play the trump card of Ziying well, and he and his subordinates are thinking about the details of the ceremony, and using Ziying's hand to control these ministers... The new emperor must have a The procedure, the first thing to do is to bathe and change clothes, pay homage to the Taimiao, and then go to the court to receive the congratulations of all officials.This extremely critical day finally arrived, and all the officials were waiting in the court.It's almost noon, it's time for Xindi to finish his bath, right?But still nowhere to be seen.Zhao Gao said that he was not busy and wanted to give the new emperor enough time, but he was more anxious than anyone else in his heart.The ministers have long been getting impatient... Time is passing by, and the rebels outside the city will come to the sky from time to time.Everyone in the world seems to be in a hurry, but Ziying is the only one who is not in a hurry... Finally Zhao Gao couldn't take it anymore, he sent someone to remind him, and replied that he would come right away, but he still didn't see him.Send someone to urge him again, but he will still arrive immediately, but Di Ying still hasn't been seen at the gate of the court hall.No one would have thought that the new emperor would take action. Even Zhao Gao, who has always been very cautious, was paralyzed. He thought to himself, you Ziying made such a big deal before he became emperor, so why not go and see for yourself... Recently, son-in-law Yan Le was sullen and didn't do well to Zhao Gao, the reason is that the day before yesterday Zhao Gao was almost killed by the double-dealing faction, and today he was so angry that he didn't come to the court today.Zhao Gao seemed very lonely around him, he brought a dozen or so errands with him to Ziying's mansion.The gate guard had been waiting for Zhao Gao for a long time, so he sang loudly: "My lord, Prime Minister, see you—" The voice dragged on for a long time.Zhao Gao acted as if he hadn't heard, and settled down with his subordinates, you wait for me at the door, and walked into the mansion by himself as if he had entered a deserted place.The people inside were naturally inviting you into the urn, and Ziying was the only one sitting there at the top of the main room. When Prime Minister Zhao came to the door in person, he just said frankly: "Why did the Prime Minister come in person..." Zhao Gao immediately got angry and said, "Why are you still here?" Not going to court? Is there a problem?" Ziying didn't answer, but five or six people came up from the side, including Ziying's two sons, Lan Yuan and Jiao Yang, and the most terrible thing was Zhong Lishan. When they came up, they touched Zhao Gao's acupuncture points and made him unable to move: " What are you guys doing? Do you want to rebel?" Zhao Gao's tone changed completely, this is the tone he used when he was really scared, and at that moment, his terror reached its peak. "Prime Minister Zhao, are you safe?" Lan Yuan came to Zhao Gao: "You shouldn't forget me!" "Who are you? I don't know you." In fact, Zhao Gao had already recognized that this woman was Lan Yuan, the main witness of "The Dune Conspiracy". He couldn't imagine how these people could appear in this place on this special day .Lan Yuan continued: "You are actually a very good person, and you finally got rid of all the collaborators of the 'Dune Conspiracy', so don't bother us anymore." Lan Yuan moved away from one side, and the scorching sun came from the other side. These two pretty women admired Zhao Gao like a newly hunted prey: "It's really better to be famous than to meet. Prime Minister Zhao, I finally met you today." It’s gone.” Zhao Gao’s face turned white and red, and from time to time he glared at Ziying who was sitting across from him: “Ziying, no matter how bad I am, Zhao Gao is the hero who helped you ascend the throne, why did you do this to me?” "You really have such a good heart?" Ziying said sharply, "When you become the king of Guanzhong successfully, which is when my Ziying dies, you will unceremoniously dedicate me to the rebel army outside the city, right? ?” Zhao Gao was speechless.At this time, two children came up from behind and threw themselves into the arms of Lan Yuan and Jiao Yang respectively.Ziying came over to introduce Zhao Gao himself and said: "For this reason, if I don't introduce you clearly, I will really wrong you. The lady in Lanyuan is holding the son of the son Fusu, don't you know? Scorching Sun The princess is holding General Meng Tian’s son, you don’t even know it? Then you won’t regret it if you die now!” Zhao Gao’s eyes widened and he looked around in horror, hoping that his people would appear immediately... A noose was quickly put around Zhao Gao's neck, and he yelled in horror: "No, you can't do this—" Zhao Gao was hoisted high, and his soul disappeared instantly. "It's too cheap for him to die like this..." Someone sighed, and Ziying said quietly after hearing it: "It can only be solved in this way, so as not to cause complications... Our opponent is too powerful!" Everyone sighed.Looking at Lan Yuan and the scorching sun in front of him, Ziying asked: "What are your plans?" Lan Yuan kissed her son and said, "Hui Yangzhou, guard the tomb for the young master..." Scooting Yang kissed his son in the same way and said : "Me too. But I want to use the general's armor, battle robe, and boots to build a new grave in Huanhuai." Everyone looked at the foreign woman in puzzlement, and Jiao Yang continued: "I thought Hunhuai This is the place where his soul returns, because the general invested too much energy there to build a new Qinzhong and become a model for future generations!" Everyone praised: "Yes, it is time to build a monument for the general!" "Sister-in-law, I will often visit you and brother." Ziying was puzzled: "Why, you, call her sister-in-law..." Lan Yuan said: "The Meng family adopted me, otherwise, how could there be me in this world?" Orchid Garden." After hearing this, everyone sighed...
