Chapter 120 Unexpected events in the third quarter

In addition, after Yingzheng shot the giant fish, he felt very relieved, thinking that the evil god has gone, and the good god will come down from now on. The so-called "immortal caresses my head, and my hair is long-lived", I think it is only a matter of time.So he packed up his luggage and returned to Xianyang. Before leaving, he encouraged the warlocks and said, "The search for immortals has not been successful, and you still need to work hard." All in all, Ying Zheng's tour lasted nearly nine months.When people are traveling, the conditions in all aspects cannot be compared with those in Xianyang after all. After all this travel, it is unavoidable to be tiring, and in addition to chasing and shooting giant fish by the sea, the sea breeze blows, and the cold penetrates into the bone marrow.Therefore, when Yingzheng arrived in Pingyuanjin, he finally fell ill.Its disease is also like a jade mountain that is about to collapse. It is extremely violent and difficult to resist.In this regard, the medical officer was also helpless, and sighed, "I can't do anything about it."

Yingzheng was furious, and said, "I can't do anything about it, what's the use of keeping you?" Kill him.Call another doctor.The medical officer was well aware of what happened to his predecessor, but he was unmoved, and said directly, "Your Majesty's body is related to the country. I dare not deny that the disease is terminally ill and cannot be cured. Please make a plan early." Yingzheng was furious and killed him again.Call the doctor again.The third medical officer's conclusion was the same as the first two, but his words were much more tactful. He said, "If everyone is like this, there is nothing perfect. Your Majesty's answer to the heart of heaven may be beyond the reach of a fool."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and sighed, "God knows if people are sick?" The doctor said, "Although heaven and man are separated, if you sincerely ask for blessings, you will surely reach heaven. Once you invite God to bless you, your majesty will recover completely." Yingzheng then ordered Meng Yi to fly to Yongcheng and pray to the mountains and rivers.Yongcheng is the former capital of the Qin State, and it is also the place where the Ying clan flourished.Originally, the Son of Heaven has no exception, but at this juncture of life and death, Ying Zheng had no choice but to believe in the superstitious belief that "Gods are not like people, and people are not like people."Even for the gods, local protectionism is also pursued, and the gods of one side only bless the people of one side.Therefore, Ying Zheng took it for granted that it is safest to turn to the gods of the homeland, and the gods of other regions may not be counted on.Moreover, the facts have proved that at least in Qi Yan's hometown, there are evil gods who can't get along with him.

Meng Yi received the order to set off, and Li Si saw him off.Meng Yi said, "I'm about to go, I don't know if I should say something or not." Li Sidao, "But it doesn't matter what you say." Meng Yi said, "From my point of view, the emperor may not have many days to come. If the emperor collapses on the way, the prime minister should be very wary of Zhao Gao's chaos." Li Si smiled and said, "It seems that Junhou still has too much prejudice against Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao, an eunuch, why bother to mention it? Junhou is on this trip, be careful, be sincere, pray kindly, and plead for the emperor's life. You should be distracted by such things.”

Meng Yi's light car is simple, and he can go fast and travel day and night, and he can reach Xianyang in a few days.And Yingzheng's patrol team was huge, and with a patient like Yingzheng, even though he was about to return home, he didn't dare to hurry, he couldn't hurry.When the patrol convoy arrived at the sand dune platform, Yingzheng's illness became more and more serious, so he had to stay there first, and temporarily recuperate in the palace left by King Zhao Wuling. Up to now, Ying Zheng still refuses to admit that he will die, and he is especially jealous of others mentioning death in front of him.Therefore, in front of Ying Zheng, none of the officials dared to ask him about the arrangements for the affairs behind him.Among the eighteen princes, who will be established as the crown prince and thus become the second emperor is the top priority of the empire at present.Since Ying Zheng refused to consider this issue, the officials had no choice but to guess riddles in their hearts.

As the prime minister of the empire, it was Li Si's duty to intervene in Ying Zheng's funeral.If Ying Zheng died in Xianyang, things would be easier.But if Ying Zheng died on the road, thousands of miles away from Xianyang, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no trouble.Moreover, according to Yingzheng's current condition, he might die at any time. At that time, there were no planes to take. Yingzheng would definitely not be able to return to Xianyang in time, and he would almost certainly die on the way. Reluctantly, Ying Zheng kept secret about the funeral, and Li Si could only worry in vain.He deliberately lived in the house closest to Ying Zheng, so that if something happened to Ying Zheng, he could be there as soon as possible.He also secretly ordered the eunuchs who served Yingzheng to inform him of Yingzheng's diet, sleep, illness and other conditions in a timely manner, and every word and every word Yingzheng said must be completely recorded and reported to him at any time. .Right now, Li Si can only do so much.

Ying Zheng was furious when he heard about this. He completely ignored that Li Si's move was out of loyalty and responsibility, and said angrily, "The prime minister desperately wants me to die? From now on, the prime minister will not be allowed to see him unless he obeys the imperial edict." Li Si's kindness was misunderstood by Ying Zheng as malice, but Li Si did not dare to tell the truth.He knew that Yingzheng's life was hanging by a thread at this time, and his thoughts, emotions, and anger could no longer be speculated according to common sense.However, as long as Yingzheng is breathing, he will still be the emperor of the empire, the emperor who takes what he wants, and the emperor who cannot be offended.Since Ying Zheng refused to see him, he could only wait patiently and dared not take any action.

Time passed in the middle of the night.In the huge sand dune palace, there are three rooms, the lights are always on, and the owners of the three rooms also have their own arms - Ying Zheng is sick and dying; Li Si is worried and waiting for change; Anxiety and sleeplessness.
