Chapter 118 The Crown Prince
Although this trip to Chen County seemed to have completed the tour mission assigned by Emperor Qin Shi, Ying Gao was still quite frustrated.
Zhang Liang made a fierce operation under his nose. Although he failed to assassinate, he was finally shot by Ying Gao. I don’t know if it was in a cave or if it was already buried in a grave, but before he could see Zhang Liang’s body with his own hands, he still became a small piece of Ying Gao’s heart disease.
If Zhang Liang was unable to kill this time, there was no doubt that his determination to rebel against Qin would be even stronger, and he would even kill himself in different ways in the future.
But that's the case. Ying Gao was frustrated and could only make up his mind secretly. If there was a next time, he would have to kill him even if he carried a big knife!
What made Ying Gao even more unhappy was of course that he could not destroy Liu Bang. Although Xiao He and Cao Shen both repeatedly emphasized that Liu Bang had only more than a hundred people under his command, it took a long time to go through.
Ying Gao believed that with Liu Bang's character of weak legal awareness and eccentric behavior, he would definitely develop his subordinates in a big way once he discovered that Xiao He and Cao Shen, who had been helping him before, were gone.
As the number of people increased, he would definitely not be satisfied with a mere forest, so the sooner he was wiped out and killed, the sooner he could reduce a powerful enemy to the Qin Dynasty.
After missing this wave, Ying Gao knew that it would be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future. After all, if someone else comes, at least he would not be able to match himself. When facing Liu Bang, if you are a little unattentional, this guy will run away!
But the dust returns to the dust and the soil returns to the soil. Zhang Liang and Liu Bang should not be defeated, and Ying Gao had no choice, so he had only one energy next, that is to kill Zhao Gao!
When Ying Gao arrived at Xianyang City, Fusu was still on the way back. Ying Gao, Feng Jie and four others took a shortcut and took advantage of the night to enter the city with the token in their hands.
Ying Gao's first stop was naturally Xianyang Palace. The first thing he had to determine was what the situation was like for the First Emperor, otherwise he would not be able to decide whether he should take the next step.
But what surprised Ying Gao was that when he arrived outside the First Emperor's bedroom, although the First Emperor talked to him through the door and showed that he was in good health, he had learned a few words about Chen County and then returned home quickly, waiting for his summons to come to the palace again.
This made Ying Gao a little confused, and he couldn't help but slander the First Emperor in his heart. He thought that I could do my best to you. In the end, you had an idea in your heart but hid it from me.
While walking outside the palace, Ying Gao sighed at the wonders of the emperor's mind. The moment before he left, he really thought that there was a simple father-son relationship between him and the First Emperor, but now it seems that he is still thinking too much. He is the emperor, so what he is considering must not be as simple as himself, right?
After leaving the palace, the four of them went directly to Feng Quji's mansion. In the past month, although Feng Quji had not been summoned by the First Emperor himself, as the right prime minister, Li Si naturally did not dare to make decisions on some matters in the court, so Feng Quji had mastered a lot of the movements in the court during this period.
According to Feng Quji, although the First Emperor did not show up in person about the decision to set up the crown prince, it was still very public. According to the First Emperor, only when all the princes returned to Xianyang City would he announce the candidate for the future Emperor of the Qin Empire.
Mr. Feng Quji talked a lot, but Ying Gao understood as soon as he heard that the matter of establishing a crown prince was probably not something that Emperor Qin Shi was willing to take the initiative to do.
He must have discovered something that was unfavorable to him, and if these people with ulterior motives want to do something in Daqin after his death, they will definitely support a young man to take the position of Emperor Qin. Otherwise, the officials in Xianyang Palace would never allow it.
In this way, if the First Emperor wanted to find someone with ulterior motives, he had to throw out a powerful bait. The First Emperor immediately threw out two, one was that he was seriously ill, and the other was that the position of crown prince had to be settled immediately.
Anyone would think that if the First Emperor knew that he was not going to be able to do it? After he decided to set up the crown prince, he would go there. In such a situation, people with ulterior motives could not wait and rely on them anymore. Naturally, they would take action when it was time to take action! And the First Emperor was waiting for this.
As for whether he would really set the position of the crown prince in this time, Ying Gao still tended not to, because he had guessed that when the First Emperor made such a move, it was probably after this period that the elixir Meng Sheng gave him was not a good thing.
The reason why Meng Sheng has not been moved for the time being must have not discovered who is behind Meng Sheng, and he just doesn't want to alert the enemy.
"Oh, if you let me in, analyze it directly for you and tell you that the mastermind behind this matter is Zhao Gao, wouldn't it be over?"
But no matter how much I think about it, Ying Gao knew how difficult it would be for an emperor to easily adopt other people's opinions. If the First Emperor really believed in himself completely, he should have taken Meng Sheng down when he told him last time that there was something wrong with Meng Sheng's elixir. How could he wait until this time with a silly moment?
Since it was okay for Emperor First Emperor, Ying Gao had a rough understanding of the recent situation of Xianyang City and went back to his house.
He knew that whether it was for himself, Fusu, or Hu Hai, the real test was far from coming. Even if the First Emperor did not want to really become a crown prince this time, judging from his actions of insisting on letting the young men come back, it would definitely not be for them to come back to watch the fun.
When she returned to the mansion and lay on the couch, even Feng Qing knew that Ying Gao would be able to compete for the position of crown prince when she came back this time. She was surprisingly quiet tonight and did not dare to disturb Ying Gao at all.
Because in two days it is time for the First Emperor to announce the candidate for crown prince. Although among the people's rumors, Ying Gao was the most unlikely of the three candidates to become the prince of the Second Emperor of Qin, Feng Qing knew in his heart that if he wanted to say that Ying Gao could have been caught in the eyes of the First Emperor a year ago, no one would believe it, but what about now? So who knows what is going on in the future?
Ying Gao, who was lying next to Feng Qing, had nothing to do with the crown prince. What he thought was that in this chess game carefully set up by the First Emperor, would Zhao Gao be willing to be a chess piece?
