Chapter 574
The First Emperor might really be unable to do it. The news soon spread throughout the palace and among all the princes and ministers. Dozens or hundreds of flavors of princes and ministers gathered in front of the First Emperor's dormitory, and their faces were full of worries.
"Brother, how are you doing with your father?" Some young princes and princesses rushed up to Fusu and asked anxiously.
Fusu's eyes swept across the faces of these younger brothers and sisters one by one. They all looked worried, but they didn't know how many of these worries were true or false. If the First Emperor really passed away, how many of these people would be together with him.
"My father's injuries are getting worse and worse. I have been awake these days less and less. Now even the imperial physician dares to take medicine to his father. Alas, now I can only leave it to fate." Fusu sighed and said.
In front of the First Emperor's dormitory, princes and ministers gathered together. No one knew how long the First Emperor could live. At this time, they could only wait powerlessly.
"Your Majesty is awake." At this time, a little eunuch walked out of the dormitory.
"Where are the Chief Minister and Chang'an Jun?" the little eunuch stood in front and shouted at the noisy crowd.
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Li Si and Ying Chengjiao. Everyone understood that they were afraid that the First Emperor would draft an order at this time.
Although the First Emperor had already established Fusu as the crown prince, after the First Emperor's death, Fusu's succession to the throne was basically a foregone conclusion. However, such important matters naturally require an imperial edict to succeed the throne, so that it can be legitimate.
"Li Si is here."
"Win Chengjiao is here."
Hearing the little eunuch's words, Li Si and Ying Chengjiao stood up together.
"Your Majesty announces the two of you to meet, and please follow me." The little eunuch said to the two.
The little eunuch took the lead, Ying Chengjiao and Li Si followed behind in a heavy mood. It is an honor to be the ministers who witnessed the will of the First Emperor, but this honor makes people feel deep in their hearts, as if they were pressing a huge rock.
As soon as they entered the Shihuang dormitory, there was already a eunuch who had already prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones. After the two of them came in, they could start drafting the order.
"My dear Li Si, please pay homage to Your Majesty."
"I won the Chengjiao, pay homage to Your Majesty."
The two of them knelt in front of the First Emperor's bed together and saluted respectfully.
"Please calm down. I can't do it anymore. The last imperial edict in this life will be witnessed by the two." The First Emperor said in a weak tone.
"Print the Imperial." The First Emperor said heavily, and the following was the content of the Imperial Imperial. Everyone present, whether it was Li Si and Ying Chengjiao, or the eunuchs responsible for writing and serving, listened respectfully.
The First Emperor did not use special official words to imitate the last will in his life, but instead imitated the order in the tone of ordinary people.
"After my death, the crown prince Fusu succeeded to the throne, Li Chen, the chief assistant Li Si, and Chang'an Jun Ying Chengjiao became the minister of the regent."
"I must remember not to do anything behind me, and to abolish the imperial tomb of Mount Li. I did not live until the day when the bright moon shines as Qin. After I die, I cremated my body and then scattered my ashes into the sea."
"That boy Li Chen said, Daqin is just a drop in the ocean, and there are countless lands on the other side of the ocean. I didn't go to these places before I was alive, so let me go and take a look after I died."
The eunuch Bingbi wrote the words of the First Emperor into the imperial edict, then covered it with jade seal and seal it with wax. From now on, the imperial edict will be properly kept and can only be opened again after the Emperor's death.
The words of the First Emperor made everyone cry when they heard it. He scattered his ashes into the sea, and wanted to see how vast this world was. The First Emperor never lived until the day when the land where the bright moon shone was Qin.
"Driving, driving, driving."
When it was dawn, a cavalry rushed over. They looked dusty and covered with solidified blood scabs.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the gates of Xianyang City were naturally not open.
"Open the city gate quickly, I am Li Chen." Li Chen's team stopped under the city gate and shouted loudly.
The people on the city wall looked at Li Chen in the fire for a long time, then shouted at his soldiers: "It's the Grand Marshal, open the city gate quickly."
"Open the city gate."
"Crack, Crack."
The gate of Xianyang City was slowly pushed open, and Li Chen asked the other soldiers to return to the camp first, and then led some guards to run towards the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, in order to save time, Li Chen rushed into the palace without stopping, and then got off the horse when he arrived at the palace of Shihuang.
Seeing the princes and ministers gathered in front of the First Emperor's bedroom, Li Chen's face became solemn, and an unknown premonition surged in his heart, and his heart was pounding.
"The Grand Marshal is back, the Grand Marshal is back." The little eunuch saw Li Chen, then ran into the room and shouted.
"Stop the sound." A large eunuch scolded.
At this time, the First Emperor had already fallen into a coma again, and it seemed that he could not hold on for long. Naturally, he could not make noise in the First Emperor's bedroom at this time.
Soon, Fusu and Yingyue came out.
"Teacher, why are you back?" Fusu asked in confusion.
Li Chen dared to come along the way without stopping, and he had no rest during his journey day and night. Therefore, there was no news in Xianyang. In order not to affect Li Chen's attack on Fusang and Ryukyu, the First Emperor did not return despite his serious illness.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Chen took out the box containing the Qingyu Pill from his arms, and then said to everyone: "I got the Qingyu Pill from the Tokugawa family, so I rushed to Xianyang without stopping. Didn't I tell you?"
"This is Qingyuwan. Wouldn't my father be saved?" Fusu said excitedly.
"Let the imperial physician first see if this Qingyu Pill is effective." Li Chen said hurriedly.
Xia Wuqi's imperial physicians waiting in the Xinhuang dormitory took the Qingyu Pill from Li Chen, and then a group of imperial physicians began to study.
"Li Chen, is Li Chen coming?" Suddenly, the first emperor, who was originally unconscious in the bedroom, got off the bed and sat up.
At this time, Li Si and Ying Chengjiao were by the bed of the First Emperor. The First Emperor suddenly felt energetic, which made Li Si and Ying Chengjiao feel nervous. Both of them were experienced, so they naturally knew what the situation was like in the First Emperor.
Rebirth, this is a rebirth.
"Master Marshal, Your Majesty is awake and you want to see you." At this time, a little eunuch hurriedly ran out of the bedroom and said.
When Fusu and Ying Yue heard that the First Emperor woke up, they hurriedly followed Li Chen toward the bedroom.
Li Chen walked into the bedroom and saw that the First Emperor was sitting on the bed at this time, even holding a bowl of porridge in his hand and drinking dilute porridge.
"It's broken." Li Chen's heart also tightened.
For a person as seriously ill as the Emperor of Shi Huang, he is not afraid of his whole spirit being depressed, but the most feared thing is that he suddenly becomes energetic.
